Chapter 495: Soldiers admonished Luoyang
Among the few remaining forces in the world, the largest and strongest force is Yuan Shang, followed by Xichuan Liu Bei, Jingzhou Guan Yu Group, and then slightly followed by Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and among these three major forces, the weakest force that survives in the gap is tantamount to the side of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
But even if Liu Xie only occupies the land of Luoyang, but none of the three princes in the world today dares to kill him easily, the reason is very simple, because he is the Son of Heaven and he is the Orthodox Venerable! Lord of the royal road.
Although the Han family has declined, the heart of the world's scholars is still to the Han, and it is easy to move the muscles and bones of the Han Dynasty, and the slightest carelessness is the result of stealing chickens and rice, such as Dong Zhuo, who is powerful and dominant, and the princes of the world have no way to take him, but if he does it too close, it will end sooner, and he will eventually end up because of the heart of the scholars, abusing the emperor, and ending up with a lantern.
In history, Cao Cao worshiped the King of Wei, his reputation has been cast, and he still did not dare to easily abolish the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, and it took two generations to do it, among which there are naturally objective reasons for Cao Cao to regard himself as a Hanchen, but more importantly, Cao Cao He understands very well that after all, the emperor of the Han Court is orthodox at that time, once the emperor is abolished, he will be spurned by the world's scholars, even if it is a powerful force, in this era without the support of the orthodox scholars, it is impossible to keep it for a long time, and acting like this is equivalent to losing the world, so it is not allowed to move lightly.
Therefore, if you want to do something to the Son of Heaven and implement military advice, you must have a suitable reason, at least on the surface, a reason to appease the world's families and block the mouths of the people!
And what better reason can be compared to colluding with foreign traitors and cholera?
Yuan Shang even took the safety of Liaodong this time, so he naturally made a big gamble! Although Liaodong is an important town, in order to clean up the thorn in the side of Emperor Liu Xie, it is worth a mere county!
At this time, Liu Xie's soldiers and horses had already entered the realm of the Central Plains, and due to the fame of the Son of Heaven and the newly surrendered Yuan Shang in the counties of the Central Plains, he was undecided. In addition, there is no backbone in the Central Plains at present, but for a while, the new army of the Son of Heaven rode the wind and waves and laid a large territory in the land of Luodong.
However, with Yuan Shang's announcement to the world, the situation immediately changed!
On the 24th day of July in the 15th year of Jian'an, the secret agents sent by the Son of Heaven Army to all sides hurried back day and night and brought the news to Liu Xie. At the same time, Liu Xie was also brought to the edicts of Yuan Shang announcing the world and the testimony of Ge Gong.
When these things were placed alive in front of Liu Xie, Liu Xie's legs were weak, and none of them fell to the ground.
Liu Xie's side. Fu Wan hurriedly reached out to hold him.
Liu Xie, with the support of Fu Wan, sat down on the main seat of the imperial camp, and did not come back to his senses for a long time, only to see him turn his head to look at Fu Wan in amazement, and muttered: "Guozhang, how can this be?" How so?!! ”
After Fu Wan, he was also sweating profusely, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has just received the news. Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei on the side of Liaodong, although they had begun to raise troops to attack the hinterland of Jizhou, but at the same time, they also raised the banner of "Protector General" and "King Yan" enshrined by His Majesty, which clearly stated the content of Yuan Shang's inscription. And I heard that as soon as Yuan Shang's army arrived in Baimadu, he immediately transferred troops back, and the main force of nearly 300,000 Yuan troops went to Hebei without a single soldier, and only Tian Feng returned to Yecheng to preside over the overall situation! Organize all prefectures and counties in Hebei to start eliminating the small local alien forces that took advantage of the Liaodong Rebellion to ......"
Liu Xie was in a cold sweat. His teeth kept chattering, and he said tremblingly, "I, I...... I fucking let Li Ru and the one surnamed Yuan get a pit...... Give the pit! …… These wolf cubs! It's all dogs! ”
A dignified son. actually opened his mouth to scold, which shows how much Liu Xie is flustered and angry at the moment.
After being silent for a long time, he opened his mouth and advised: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body......"
"Take care of my fart!" Liu Xie stood up suddenly, he was wearing gold armor and a red robe on his back at the moment, graceful and luxurious, and his appearance was domineering, but his color had completely lost the vigor of a commander, but he looked crazy.
"Li Ru, Li Ru, I really misbelieved you, you despicable villain, you actually united with Yuan thief to calculate so much against me, you will definitely be punished...... Point the soldiers, point the troops quickly! The situation is already like this, no matter what, I must quickly defeat the whole territory of Sili, I can't let people play in vain, even if it is a ruined boat, I have to fight with Yuan Thief to break the net......"
"Report~!"
Before Liu Xie's words were finished, he saw a scout hurriedly running into the imperial tent, kneeling on one knee, and anxiously reporting it.
"Under His Majesty, Zhao Yun in Guanzhong, played the banner of reprimanding the king's order, raised the elite of Yongliang and Qiang soldiers, about 100,000 Guanzhong troops, the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang West City, the soldiers and horses traveled along the Weishui, breaking our side in Weixi under the fence more than 10 places, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were invincible, and the front vanguard Ma Dai's wolf assault was already pointing directly at Luoyang City at this moment......"
Hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but stay where he was, stunned.
Zhao Yun ...... Zhao Yunqi tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops...... Attack? What does he want to do? Want to rebel? ”
Fu Wan wiped the sweat on his head on the side, and said: "If it is replaced by the original, his move is indeed a conspiracy!" It's not too much to clean him up, how can he do it...... For example, now that we have succumbed to the upper hand in righteousness, Zhao Yunbing's admonition to Luoyang has become a natural thing......"
"Nonsense!"
Liu Xie slammed the table and roared angrily: "I am the Son of Heaven!" It is the supreme in the world! Everything in the Han world is mine, and I can do whatever I want! What kind of thing is he, Zhao Yun? Butcher only! Dare to openly argue with me face to face! I must punish his nine clans! ”
After Fu Fu's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to kill Zhao Yun's nine clans, and I will talk about it later, but Zhao Yun sits in Yongliang, and leads the Qiang department, and the hundreds of thousands of Han and Qiang soldiers and horses under his command are all in the original Yan Xing Rebellion, and the elite soldiers screened out by bloody fighting, there are Zhang Xiu, Wang Ping, Ma Dai, Hao Zhao, Wen Hui, Jiang Yin, Gao Rou, Jia Kui, etc.......
"Say no more!"
At this moment, Liu Xie was already flustered, facing Fu Wan's gushing explanations. An annoyed wave interrupted.
He turned around three times in the big tent, then suddenly turned his head and glared at Fu Wan, and said in a low voice: "Where is Xu Shu?" Where is Xu Shu? ”
Fu Wan glanced at Liu Xie cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Xu Shu...... Xu Shu stayed in Luoyang and was in charge of the city garrison. ”
Liu Xie frowned, and said dissatisfied: "Stay in Luoyang, as the right general, he is not by my side to give advice to me this time when he goes to Kanto?" How did you stay over there! ”
Fu Wan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this ...... You ordered it......"
"That's it! Don't say so much, Luoyang is the foundation of me. We can't lose it, let's go back now, and announce that Zhuo Xu Shu will carefully defend the city! Don't miss out! After I return to Luoyang, it's not too late to make a decision! ”
After Fu Wan, he hurriedly received the will of the saint, and at the same time sighed secretly, Xu Shu only had 5,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, and most of them were newly recruited. At this moment, there are only 25,000 newly recruited soldiers around the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Yun's Guanzhong army has more than 100,000 soldiers, even these soldiers and horses are there. I may not be able to protect it.
This time, it's a real problem.
******************
However, it was said that Zhao Yun gathered tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops and seized the Son of Heaven Army's walled road in Weishui, which was like a bamboo. Go straight to Luoyang City.
The Guanzhong ace army led by Ma Dai, the pioneer of the front, rushed thousands of miles to attack, and the march was extremely fast, and it was about to arrive in Luoyang, but it was sent by Zhao Yunfeihong. Command them to stand by and not act rashly.
After that, Zhao Yun's army marched according to the rules, and after reaching the land of Luoxi Baili. began to arrange troops to exercise martial arts to boost morale.
For this behavior of Zhao Dadudu, the generals were puzzled.
In the school field of the camp, the flag covers the sun, the horse's hooves shake the sky, Zhao Yun is dressed in a strong suit, personally supervising the 10,000 elite drill formations, the momentum in the field is strong, and the atmosphere of killing is soaring, although there is no sound of shouting and killing, but there is the atmosphere of fighting.
The Guanzhong Army that Yuan Shang integrated with Yan Xing took the opportunity to integrate, after this short period of time under the leadership of Zhao Yun, has been completely formed, and has become a tiger and wolf army that is not inferior to Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army back then.
Zhao Yun personally supervised the exercise of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he himself could sit on the bench, but it did not mean that the others under his command could sit still.
Wang Ling, one of the ten carved arrows, was in a hurry, and he was the first to sit still.
When he came to the field, he saw Zhao Yun standing on the platform, silent and solemn, and Wang Ling, who came to advise the troops, couldn't help but tremble a little.
Since the Yan Xing Rebellion, Wang Ling has obviously felt that this Zhao Dadu Governor seems to be a little different from before.
Zhao Yun back then, like a sharp spear that could sweep the world, was full of spirit and heroism! With his own courage and the momentum of never admitting defeat, he led the generals of Guanzhong to move forward, and the brave are fearless!
Following Zhao Yun at that time, Wang Ling felt that he was not afraid of anything and worried about nothing.
After the rebellion of Yan Xing, Wang Ling gradually discovered that although Zhao Dudu was still the same as he was on the surface, he was obviously a little different from the original inside.
In Zhao Yun's eyes, Wang Ling couldn't find the fearless edge he had before, on the contrary, the feeling brought to him by Zhao Yun's eyes now was more vicissitudes, more stable, and more thoughtful......
Zhao Yun's method of dealing with Yongliang's affairs is very different from the original, when encountering major issues, whether Zhao Yun has a spectrum or not, he must first seek the opinions of Wen Hui, Jiang Yin, Jia Kui, Zhang Ji and others, weigh the pros and cons and make more plans, and then make a decision.
The sharp-edged spear of the past has now become a sword in its sheath, although it is no longer that heroic and dry, but it is glorious and restrained and returns to the basics, which is more and more incomprehensible.
Wang Ling came to the general's platform, but saw that although Zhao Yun was paraded, he was not wearing armor, and he was very comfortable.
Pointing to the flat table on the table, Zhao Yun held a pen in his hand, swiped ink on silk, and the pen was strong and heroic, seeing Wang Ling coming, he was not surprised, and nodded at him with a slight smile.
Wang Ling is an anxious man, he doesn't drag his words at all, and he opens his mouth and asks: "Dadu Governor, Luoyang is already close at hand, the Son of Heaven is marching eastward, and there are less than 5,000 people in his city, even if Luoyang City is high and deep, but I Guanzhong mobilized 140,000 male soldiers, and it is not a matter of hand-to-hand capture to take him down, but why is the Governor marching so slowly?" ”
Zhao Yun didn't answer directly, just shook his head with a smile and said, "This governor has his own ideas, General Wang doesn't need to be too anxious." ”
Wang Ling was so troublesome in his heart, thinking about how the righteous and arrogant governor of the past had become so meaty now?
"Is there any news from the Central Plains?" Zhao Yun did not answer Wang Ling's question. Instead, I asked him questions.
"General Sima has returned to Xuchang!" Wang Ling said as if he was angry.
"Hmm." Zhao Yun nodded and said, "In this way, the lord is about to confront Guan Yu?" ”
Wang Ling nodded and said: "Yes, Guan Yu, like the Son of Heaven, thought that it was a rebellion in Liaodong, and the lord would definitely collect his troops and return, intending to take advantage of the weakness to infiltrate Xuchang. Even if the lord returns to Xuchang, he must face a tough battle! ”
Zhao Yun was moved, the pen in his hand trembled, and his eyes shone.
After pondering for a long time, he saw him sigh and said, "Not being able to witness the battle between the lord and Guan Yunchang is really a big regret in life. ”
Wang Ling was a little helpless when he heard this, and said, "Governor, now is this time. How do you still care about how the lord and Guan Yu fight? Let's think about the Son of Heaven! The Lord announced such a big game, just to be able to justifiably send troops to Luoyang, you can do well, the soldiers and horses are here. Just stand still! If the lord knows the way, he will have to be angry with you! ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he laughed and shook his head: "Otherwise." Even though it is the layout of the lord, it is a matter of course, but it is a matter of military advice. It's not trivial, if you're not careful, you'll be spurned by the world, you can't be cautious, if I'm just going to kill Luoyang City like this, I'll make the lord angry to death. ”
After that, I saw Zhao Yun stop his pen and ink, pick up the white silk that Shicai had been writing, and then pick it up, blow it gently, and say word by word: "This military advice, the lord doesn't necessarily have to use my Guanzhong military horse, he has this order, obviously he wants to test me, to see how I Zhao Yun is able now......"
Speaking of this, he saw Zhao Yun smile happily and said: "Since he has this heart, I should do it with all my might, in order to respect the master's master's plan." ”
Seeing this, Wang Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, as one of the ten carved arrows, he was extremely trusted by Zhao Yun, but since the rebellion of Yan Xing, he felt as if he was becoming more and more incomprehensible, and he was becoming more and more unable to understand this metropolitan governor.
But seeing that Zhao Yun folded the white silk in his hand into a piece, got up and handed it over to Wang Ling, and said: "Give this letter to Wen Hui, and ask him to send a messenger to Luoyang, don't sneak around, you must make a big splash, our camp is about a hundred miles away from Luoyang at the moment, this hundred miles to send a letter, remember that it must be made with great fanfare, and it must be delayed, and it is best to deliver it after five days, so that everyone knows about it, understand?" ”
Wang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and said: "A hundred miles of land, if you ride quickly, you can send it in one day, why do you have to delay it for five days?" ”
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and patted Wang Ling's shoulder: "You just have to do what I say." ”
Wang Ling: ".................."
*********************
Luoyang, Xu Shu's mansion.
Liu Xiedongzheng, the person in charge of overseeing Luoyang's government affairs and defense, one is Xu Shu, and the other is Lu Yu.
Since Yuan Shang's generals spread all over the world, the mood of the two has not been very good, and now they heard that Zhao Yun led more than 100,000 troops to come to admonish them, and their hearts were like adding fuel to the fire.
According to Xu Shu's view, this opportunity to admonish the army can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhao Yun will definitely march into the army quickly, so that he can design a break on this road between Chang'an and Luoyang, either fire attack, or ambush, how can he also break the sharp spirit of the Guanzhong army first.
But Xu Shu never expected that in addition to allowing Ma Dai to quickly break his own defense in Weishui, the overall marching speed of Zhao Yun's army was like a turtle speed, not to mention the slow march, and it was steady and steady, so that he could not find the slightest flaw.
This is really a headache for Xu Shu, he is not afraid of generals who dare to take risks and are like thunder, because such people will definitely have flaws in the overall situation, but in the face of a general who marches seamlessly, Xu Shu's wisdom is helpless.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs, that's what I'm talking about.
…………
…………
And today, Zhao Yun's messenger came to Luoyang City with gongs and drums, and presented Zhao Yun's handwritten letter to Xu Shu.
Of course, it's not so much for Xu Shu as for Liu Xie.
For it was a recital to the Son of Heaven in the name of a courtier.
The above content is nothing more than how dissatisfied they were, how sad, and how sad they were with Liu Xie's act of pardoning Li Ru and enslaving Tuoba Liwei.
At the end of the book, he said that he came to the army this time, but it was for the sake of the safety of the Han Dynasty, and he put forward three requirements for the Son of Heaven.
The first is to implore the Son of Heaven to retract his fate, cancel the edict of pardoning Li Ru, and refute Tuoba Liwei's title of King Yan.
The second is to ask the world to issue an edict to punish oneself and sincerely apologize to the people of the world and the Han people.
The third is to ask the Son of Heaven to move to Yecheng, and Yuan Shang, the general of the Great Sima, will assist the Son of Heaven, and Kuang Jun will assist the country to govern the world......
After reading this edict, Lu Yu couldn't help frowning and said, "What is this Zhao Yun thinking?" Three points up, the first point is enough, the second point and the third point Your Majesty will never agree! Issuing an edict to sin oneself, that is, to admit that His Majesty has done something wrong in this matter, and when the time comes, where will the prestige of the Heavenly Family remain? And moving the capital to Yecheng is even more absurd, undoubtedly in the mouth of the sheep, how can His Majesty do it? ”
Xu Shu read Zhao Yun's letter several times, then looked up to the sky and sighed, shook his head and said: "Of course Zhao Yun knows that His Majesty will not agree, and he doesn't expect His Majesty to agree, his hand is to play for the people of the world......"
Lu Yu heard this: "What do you mean? ”
Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Even if His Majesty's prestige plummets at this moment, but he is also the Son of Heaven after all, and the act of admonishing the soldiers is really rebellious, if Zhao Yun attacks Luoyang as soon as he comes, it will inevitably shake the world, and the scholars will be disgusted, shaking the foundation of Yuan's reputation, so he will play a trick first and then the soldiers!" ”
Lu Yu seemed to have realized when he heard this: "In this way, he wants to use this method to slander the world?" ”
Xu Shu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That's right. ”
Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "Then how about we ignore him?" ”
"How to ignore it? In the land of a hundred miles, Zhao Yun's envoy walked for five days, and the fanfare made everyone around Luoyang known. ”
"This ......" Lu Yu suddenly wilted when he heard this.
Xu Shu sighed and continued: "If Your Majesty refuses to accept it, as I expected, Zhao Yun will definitely send someone to continue to write and give direct advice, and it is estimated that at least he will resign and ask for three times!" After His Majesty refused three times, Zhao Yun used this as an excuse to block the mouths of the people in the world, and he would inevitably make a big mistake and attack Luoyang! ”
Lu Yu was a little panicked when he heard this, and said, "This Zhao Yun, how can he be so shrewd?" He is just a brave man under Yuan Shang, a butcher general! On the city government, he couldn't even fight Yan Xing back then, how could he ...... This must have been taught by Yuan Shang! ”
Xu Shu nodded and said, "If it is really taught by Yuan Shang, then it would be good......
Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused and said with emotion: "To be honest, this Zhao Yun is no longer on Xu's opponent list since he was subject to Yan Xing back then, but who would have thought that after this person was frustrated, instead of falling, he was reborn from the ashes, and went further, who in the world would dare to despise such a person in the future?" ”
"............" (To be continued......)
