Chapter 633: Hongmen Banquet (2)
News came from Luoyang, a group of courtiers and civil and military officials led by Fu Wan were finally willing to open the city to Yuan Shang, although nominally to welcome the Son of Heaven back to Beijing, but in fact, it was no different from Yuan Shang occupying Luoyang.
Now in the entire north, only a corner of Luoyang is not under the control of Luoyang, if Luoyang is taken, the small forces of the Son of Heaven will be wiped out from now on, and Yuan Shang will completely occupy the land in the north.
Yuan Shangqi raised 100,000 elite troops in Guanzhong in Chang'an's headquarters, embraced the Son of Heaven, and traveled all the way east, heading towards Luoyang City.
Among the strategists, in addition to Sima Yi, there are also Jia Xu and Deng Chang to accompany them.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Luoyang, Yuan Shang's army ushered in an unexpected messenger, and this messenger was the most critical figure in the battle of Luoyang, which was enough to turn things around.
Before the messenger came to Yuan Shang's army, he sent out his official position in Luoyang, and said that his lord was Xu Rong, the general in charge of the forbidden army in Luoyang City, and he had an important matter to meet with the great general Sima and begged the general to meet with him.
At this time, Yuan Shangzheng and Sima Yi, Jia Xu and others discussed how to respond to the recruitment strategy of Sun Shangxiang of Eastern Wu after recovering Luoyang City.
Jia Xu was the first to react, touching Bai Huahua's beard and said, "Xu Rong sent a messenger to come, there must be something important!" ”
Yuan Shang nodded, and then ordered the guards to bring the messenger.
When he was young, the messenger came to Yuan Shang's side, knelt down on one knee at Yuan Shang, bowed respectfully, and bowed highly.
Yuan Shang looked at the messenger, nodded, and said, "Since you are Xu Rong's messenger, you must have something important to do this time, so you don't need to be polite, and you can talk about it quickly." ”
The messenger went on and off day after day. Although he was tired from riding a horse, he was still panting at the moment, but he didn't dare to slack off, and then said to Yuan Shangyan: "I can't tell you for a while, here is General Xu's handwritten letter, and I ask General Yuan to look at it!" ”
The guard presented the letter, Yuan Shang opened it, and looked at it for a while, his face became darker and darker. I saw that he had gathered the letters into a ball and squeezed them tightly in the palm of his hand.
Sima Yi was curious when he heard this, and said, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Xu Rong said that a few days ago, the senior generals in their forbidden army were all summoned by the ambush, and Zhuo Qi and others were in a state of life and death, headed by Tong Fei, and ambushed in Luoyang Deyang Palace. When I support the Son of Heaven to enter the court, I will give a thunderous blow, imitating the example of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin......"
Deng Chang was startled on the side and said, "Hongmen banquet...... This is the bottom of the kettle. I want your life! ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said with a smile: "This kind of trick, Fu Wan can't think of it, it must be Xu Shu's ...... Sure enough, as Zhongda said. It seems that we should be careful. ”
Jia Xu touched his beard and said, "Providence helped us to do something, so that Xu Rong and Hu Zhen had already returned to obedience." The general can avoid this...... The general said that Tong Fei was the leader of the ambush generals, and now that Tong Yuan is here, I don't know what the general thinks? ”
Yuan Shang was happy when he heard this.
"A poisoner is a poisoner, and the key to the matter is in one sentence, Xu Shu and the treasure of Tong Fei want to assassinate me, so I will push the boat down the river and let the assassin and his father accompany me to see how they can sing this big show!"
After that, Yuan Shang instructed the guards to invite Tong Yuan to come.
When he was young, Tong Yuan rode to Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang didn't say much, just handed Xu Rong's letter to Tong Yuan, and then waited to see his reaction.
After reading the letter, Tong Yuan's fat old man's face couldn't help but change greatly, his eyes flashed, and he roared loudly!
"What a rebel! It's really the other way around! This stinky boy is really bigger and less successful! General, the old man will go with you, see what means this stinky boy dares to use against you, and see that I don't cripple him!" ”
Yuan Shang was slightly happy when he heard this, and said: "In this way, then there will be a spear god to help." ”

…………
The next day, the elite of 100,000 Guanzhong came to Luoyang City, but they did not enter the city, but only camped and stood still.
The news soon spread to Luoyang City, and after hearing the news, he was extremely puzzled, and hurriedly asked Xu Shu to discuss countermeasures, saying that Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses came to Luoyang City, but they couldn't get in, and they didn't know what they wanted.
Xu Shu thought for a while when he heard this, and said: "As I expected, this is Yuan Shang putting up a shelf, waiting for our civil and military officials to go out of the city gate to greet him, after all, if today's son is in his hands, he is orthodox, and his official position is high, how can he take the initiative to send someone to ask us to open the door?" ”
After hearing this, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "What a big shelf!" ”
Xu Shu sighed when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then we will follow Yuan Shang's idea and let the hundred officials go out of the city to welcome him, embrace him and the Son of Heaven into the city together, and wait for him to enter the palace, which is the time for Tong Fei and the others to start!" ”
After hearing this, he said: "But the old man pondered carefully. Yuan Shang is dead, and the tiger and wolf disciples under his command will not let us go! ”
Xu Shu shook his head when he heard the words and said: "It doesn't matter if you let it go or not, the urgency of the delay is to kill Yuan Shang, and hate him with blood, as for what will happen to Luoyang and the world after killing him, it is not within the scope of my control!" ”
After hearing this, he sighed and said, "It seems that this jackal is like a disciple of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao!" It's really damn ...... When he arrived at the Deyang Hall the next day, the old man fought for his life, and he wanted to bite him to death! ”
Xu Shu smiled when he heard this, and said: "Guozhang is old, his teeth are not good, and the matter of biting him will be handed over to Tong Fei and others!" ”
"That's right, when the time comes, close the door and let Tong Fei!"
……………………
The next day, Luoyang City was arranged, and the civil and military officials led by Fu Wan and Xu Shu opened the gate of Luoyang City, walked to the city gate together, and came to welcome the Son of Heaven and Yuan Shang into the city.
And the news that the Son of Heaven and Yuan Shang were going to enter the city also spread all over Luoyang City early, and at this moment, the streets of Luoyang City were densely packed with people!
The civil and military officials walked to the outside of the city, bowed and waited, and when they were young, they heard a rumbling sound of horses' hooves and chariots from the Yuan army's army.
Yuan Shang was wearing gold armor, riding a white horse, refreshed, and a dashing companion drove next to the chariot in which Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was riding, and said to him with a smile while following Liu Xie's advance.
"Your Majesty, the civil and military officials of Luoyang City have come out to greet you, it seems that the Tianwei of Luoyang City is still very long, wherever you go, the earth is shaking, hundreds of officials go out of the city, prostrate to take over, such a grand scene, the minister is still the first time to see it."
Liu Xie looked at Yuan Shang's smug expression with a spring breeze, and only felt that his eyes were tingling, and he hated to strangle this traitor alive!
"Humph!" Liu Xie snorted heavily, twisted his head, didn't bother to look at Yuan Shang again, and snorted heavily in his nose at the same time.
Yuan Shang was stunned when he saw this, and then turned his head to Sima Yi and said: "Look, I kindly escorted His Majesty back to Luoyang City, and as soon as he arrived at the place, His Majesty would have this attitude, is this the attitude of the Heavenly Family towards loyal ministers?" ”
Sima Yi smiled when he heard this, and comforted Yuan Shangdao: "Why don't you say that it is difficult to be a loyal minister...... His Majesty's soldiers and horses have been wiped out, and he is feeling aggrieved, don't be like him, he is not sensible, you are not sensible? If you should give way, let go of ......"
When he was young, a group of people came to the city gate, Fu Wan and Xu Shu and other people were already waiting, and when they saw Liu Xie on the car, a group of courtiers hurriedly knelt down and shouted!
Yuan Shang rode on the horse and did not move, looking at the civil and military white officials kneeling in a row below, and without waiting for Liu Xie to speak, he was already the first to say: "All colleagues, get up, it's cold on the ground, be careful to kneel out of the old cold legs." ”
Many ministers couldn't help but raise their heads when they heard this, and looked at Yuan Shang with resentment, but Xu Shu and Fu Wan were calm, and got up first, but Fu Wan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lead Yuan Shang, and said: "Your Majesty and the general have worked hard all the way, please enter the city quickly!" ”
Yuan Shang looked at Fu Wan with a smile and said, "Uncle Guo, I haven't seen you for many years, your old health has always been good?" ”
Fu Wan's eyelids twitched, and he said, "General, I am the national abbot." ”
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "I'm sorry, Guozhang, I haven't seen you for many years, your old body has always been good?" ”
After hearing this, he arched his hand and said: "With General Lao's arms, the old man's body is okay." ”
Yuan Shang smiled, glanced at Xu Shu beside him, and didn't say much, waved his hand, and saw a group of guards and horses behind him, with him embracing the Son of Heaven, slowly entering Luoyang City.
Xu Shu and Fu Wan glanced at each other, and then followed......
A large group of people, under the gaze of the people and the support of soldiers and horses, came to the gate of Luoyang Palace when they were young, the Son of Heaven slowly walked down from the chariot, Yuan Shang followed behind, and behind him was a group of close-fitting elite armor followed.
After Fu Fu's complexion changed, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "General, in the palace, strict foreign soldiers are disorderly, it seems that this is not in accordance with the rules......"
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Strong army? Guozhang, you are biased in this statement, these soldiers and horses are the new Son of Heaven pro-army that I organized for His Majesty, and they are the guards and barriers of His Majesty, wherever His Majesty goes, they will go, when did they become foreign soldiers? ”
Fu Wan said with a smile: "The palace is the place where His Majesty lives, it is extraordinary, the general organizes a pro-army for His Majesty, and he has to wait for His Majesty's decree to be lowered before he can be stationed, such a big thorn directly enters, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Shang turn his head with a smile and say to Sima Yi behind him.
"Zhongda, Guozhang said so much, do you see anything?"
Sima Yi smiled slyly, looked back and forth at Fu Wan, and said, "I didn't see anything I saw, but my subordinates smelled something that didn't smell good!" ”
"What does it smell like?"
"The subordinates feel that there seems to be a smell of conspiracy in and out of the words of the abbot, as well as inside and outside the palace!"
“…………”
After hearing this, he was taken aback, and just wanted to say something, but he heard Xu Shu beside him say: "The general said so, but he really misunderstood me and waited, we just acted in accordance with the Han law, that's all, if the general has doubts in his heart, then lead the escort horse in." We will not stand in our way. (To be continued......)
