Chapter 146: Guo Yan, Li Urges the Son of Heaven

Li and Guo listened to him and held down their weapons. The emperor proclaimed upstairs: "Wang Yun has been killed, why doesn't the army retreat?" ”

Li Hi and Guo Yan said: "We have the merit of sweating and horses, and we have not been given knights, so we dare not withdraw from the army." ”

Emperor Han Xian said: "What official position do you want? “

Li, Guo, Zhang, and Fan each wrote their own titles, and they wanted such official qualities, and Emperor Han Xian had no choice but to rely on them. Feng Li hired as the general of the chariot cavalry, added the title of Chiyang Marquis, and led the lieutenant of the division to the Fu Jie, the axe, and Guo Yan was named the rear general. Meiyang Hou. If you use the charm and the axe, you will be in charge of the government together; Fan Chou was the right general, Wannian Hou, and Zhang Ji was the left general Pingyang Hou, leading the army to garrison Hongnong. The rest of Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc., are all school captains.

Li Xu, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others then thanked him and led the troops out of the city. He also ordered to pursue Dong Zhuo's corpse, harvest some fragments of cowhide, carve the body with fragrant wood, stop the corpse, make a big sacrifice, use the king's clothes and coffin, choose an auspicious day, and move the burial in Yiwu.

Before the date of his burial, a heavy thunderstorm fell from the heavens, and the water was several feet deep, and a thunderclap opened his coffin, and the body was lifted out of the coffin. Li Xun and others waited for the weather to improve before burying, and this night was the same again. Three reburials, none of them could be buried, and the bones were all broken by thunder and fire.

The sky was angry with Dong Zhuo. It can be said that it is very angry!

Besides, Li Hi and Guo Yan have taken power and brutalized the people; Secretly sent henchmen to serve the emperor and observe his movements.

Emperor Xian of Han acted panicked at this time. The officials of the imperial court were all promoted by Guo Yan and Li Xuan. In order to gain popularity, Guo Yan and Li urged Zhu Jun to enter the court and be appointed as a servant, and at the same time manage the government.

One day, someone said that Xiliang guarded Sima Teng too much; The two generals of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Han Sui led more than 100,000 troops to Chang'an, claiming to beg for thieves. It turned out that the two generals had sent people to Chang'an to link up with Ma Yu in the service, Chong Shao, and Liu Fan in Zuo Zhonglang to make internal responses and jointly plot the thief party.

The three of them secretly reported to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and named Ma Teng as the general of Zhengxi and Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi, and each received a secret edict to work together to defeat the thief.

At that moment, Li Xuan, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji heard that the second army was about to arrive, so they discussed together a strategy to resist the enemy.

Strategist Jia Xu said: "The second army came from afar, and it should only be deep ditches and high fortifications, and stick to the resistance. However, in 100 days, the soldier ran out of food, so he must go back by himself, and then lead the troops to pursue them, and the second general could capture them. ”

Li Meng and Wang Zheng came out and said, "This is not a good idea. I hope to borrow 10,000 elite soldiers to behead the heads of Ma Teng and Han Sui and dedicate them to you. ”

Jia Xu said: "If you fight now, you will definitely lose." ”

Li Meng and Wang Zheng said in unison: "If the two of us fail, we are willing to be beheaded; If I win, you should also pay me your head. ”

Jia Xu said to Li Hire and Guo Yan: "Chang'an's two hundred miles of pouring mountains, this road is steep, so it is okay for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to garrison troops here to defend the wall, and then let Li Meng and Wang Zheng personally lead their troops to meet the enemy." ”

Li Hire and Guo Yan listened to him and ordered 15,000 men and horses and Li Meng and Wang Fang.

The two left happily and set up camp two hundred and eighty miles away from Chang'an.

The Xiliang soldiers arrived, and Wang Zheng and Li Meng led the army to meet the battle. The Xiliang army and horses blocked the road and set up a formation.

Ma Teng and Han Sui came out together, pointing at Li Meng and Wang Zheng and scolding: "The country's anti-thief! Who will catch him for me? ”

Before the words were broken, I saw a young general, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger's body and long arms, and a tiger's back and a wolf's waist; With a spear in his hand, he rode a handsome BMW and flew out of the formation. 、

It turned out that it would be Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, whose name is Mengqi, who is seventeen years old and brave and invincible.

Wang Zheng bullied other young people and rode horses to meet the battle. In less than a few rounds, Wang Zheng was stabbed off the horse by Ma Chao. Ma Chao led the horse back.

Li Meng saw that Wang Zheng was killed by Ma Chao, and he rode a horse from behind Ma Chao. Ma Chao just pretended not to know.

Ma Teng shouted under the formation gate: "There are people chasing behind!" The voice was not cut off, and I saw that Ma Chao had captured Li Meng on horseback.

It turned out that Ma Chao knew that Li Meng was chasing, but he deliberately delayed; When the other horses approached and stabbed with their spears, Ma Chao flashed, Li Meng stabbed in the air, and the two horses were side by side, and Ma Chao lightly stretched his ape arm and captured him alive. Li urged, Guo Yan's soldiers had no master, and fled with the wind.

Ma Teng and Han Sui took advantage of the victory to chase and kill, won a complete victory, set up camp at the narrow entrance, and beheaded Li Meng to show the public.

Li Xi and Guo Yan heard that Li Meng and Wang Fang were killed by Ma Chao, and Fang believed that Jia Xu was prescient, so they reused Jia Xu's plan, and they could only hold the gate tightly, and they would not come out to meet other challenges.

Sure enough, the Xiliang army was less than two months old, and there was a shortage of grain and grass, so they discussed returning to the division. It happened that the information that Ma Yu's family servant in Chang'an City surrendered himself to Liu Fan and Chong Shao, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui, and wanted to do internal response.

Li Hi and Guo Yan were furious, and all three families, young and old, were beheaded in the city, and the three heads were ordered all the time.

Ma Teng and Han Sui saw that the military rations were exhausted, and the internal should be leaked again, so they had to pull out the village and retreat.

Li Lu and Guo Yan ordered Zhang Ji to lead the army to drive Ma Teng, Fan Chou led the army to chase Han Sui, and the Xiliang army was defeated. Ma Chao fought to the death and killed Zhang Ji.

Fan Chou went to catch up with Han Sui, seeing that he was about to catch up, close to Chen Cang, Han Sui led the horse and said to Fan Chou: "You and I are from the same township, why are you so ruthless today?" ”

Fan Chou controlled the horse and replied, "The destiny of heaven cannot be violated!" ”

Han Sui said: "I'm just here for the country, why are you persecuting so hard?" ”

Fan Chou agreed to stop, turned his horse's head, collected his troops and returned to the camp, and let Han Sui go back.

Li Bei, the nephew who was not wary of Li Sui, saw Fan Chou let Han Sui go and repay his uncle. 、

Li Hi was furious and wanted to send troops to attack Fan Chou. Jia Xu said: "Now I see that people are restless and frequently use force, which is deeply inconvenient; If you don't set up a banquet, ask Zhang Ji, Ji and Fan Chou to celebrate their achievements, catch Chou and kill him during the banquet, so that it can be effortless. ”

Li Xun was very happy, so he set up a banquet for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. The two generals will happily go to the banquet.

Halfway through the wine, Li Hi's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Why did Fan Chou let Han Sui go, are you trying to rebel?" ”

Fan Chou was taken aback, and before he could come back to speak; I saw the knife and axe hand push it out, and killed Fan Chou under the table.

Frightened, Zhang Ji fell to the ground.

Li Xi picked up Zhang Ji and said, "Fan Chou rebelled, so I killed him; You are my confidant, why be afraid? ”

Fan Choujun was assigned to Zhang Ji for management. Zhang Jiquan went back to Hongnong County.

Li Xi and Guo Yan defeated the Xiliang soldiers, and the princes did not dare to say anything. Jia Xu repeatedly persuaded to appease the people and make friends with wise men and heroes. Since then, the imperial court has had a little vitality.

At this time, I didn't expect Si Li's Yellow Turban Army to rebel again, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, and the leader waited for no one to rob the people.

The servant Zhu Jun can defeat the thieves by raising one person.

Li Hi and Guo Yan asked who it was. Zhu Jun said: "If you want to defeat Si Li's bandits, Xue Rengui must be, but now that there is a disaster in Qingzhou, Xue Rengui is afraid that he will not be able to get out, so he has to go by Cao Cao." ”

Li Xun said: "Where is Cao Cao now? ”、

Zhu Jun said: "Now Cao Cao is in Dongjun to garrison soldiers. If the man is ordered to fight the thief, the enemy can be defeated. ”

Li Xuan was very happy, drafted an edict overnight, sent someone to Dongjun, and ordered Cao Cao to defeat the enemy together with Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei. Cao Cao received the decree and discussed the matter in his military tent.

Cao Cao said: "Everyone, now that Guo Yan and Li Xu, in the name of the Son of Heaven, have ordered us to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves of Si Li, what should I do?" ”

Xiahoudun said angrily: "This group of rebels has occupied the Son of Heaven, and they don't want to crusade against the thieves themselves, but they want us to fight for them!" My lord, I think we can ignore them if you ask! ”

Cao Cao did not agree with Xiahoudun's opinion, but he also said good words to appease him.

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, I think we can go, now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have not yet started a war, but they are actively preparing for reserve grain and grass, we have nothing to do now, and it will also make Er Yuan jealous and dare not go to war, we can't recruit soldiers in Dongjun, it is better to take this opportunity to recruit the remnants of the Yellow Turban of Si Li, to enrich the men and horses of our army." It can also distract Er Yuan's attention and let them open the station unscrupulously! ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Great! Zhongde is really my ovary! ”
