Chapter 426: Discussing and Forcing the Palace
Among the dead soldiers of the Son of Heaven's army, a guard borrowed a spear from Xu Shu and went out to fight Yuan Cao's two generals and four generals, and defeated Wen Tu with one move.
Seven or eight soldiers wanted to go up to deal with the guards to save Wen Tu, who knew that the guard's marksmanship was very powerful, not only fierce, but also used the world-shocking Hundred Birds Chaofeng marksmanship, instantly repelled those Yuan soldiers who wanted to save people, and then came to Wen Tu's side with a single horse.
Wen Tu was lying on the ground, just about to get up, but he saw the guard shoot the gun at the hammer, and the gun hit Wen Tu's back, Wen Tu "pounced", and fell down again in embarrassment.
The guard knocked Wen Tu to the ground, and then rode up to see him, although there were a group of Yuan Cao's soldiers and horses on both sides, but for a moment no one dared to step forward to save people, which shows his might.
He stood where he was. Seeing that there were more and more soldiers and horses coming around, Yuan Cao was expressionless and fearless, as if he was in his own back garden.
It's no wonder, don't look at this guard, although he is only over thirty years old, he has traveled around the Han Dynasty for many years and has seen a lot of knowledge!
Although he is not from a strong family, he is also a famous family! In the third year of the first peace, he thought that he was a great accomplishment after practicing martial arts with his father, so he began to travel the world, his ambition was not to be famous, just to walk in all directions, to see how the heroes of the world were.
In the second year of his travels around the world, he reported a pseudonym to join Liu Yao, the assassin of Yangzhou in the army, and became a silent precursor in front of the account, not for anything else, just to feel the military life.
It was in this year that Sun Ce and Liu Yao fought against each other!
In the battle of Shenting, the little overlord Sun Ce fought against Donglai Tai Shi Ci, he saw the hero of Tai Shi Ci, admired in his heart, in order to let Tai Shi Ci and Sun Ce be able to have a fair duel, he angrily stopped Sun Jun twelve fierce horses, single-handedly. Defeated several Sun army generals in a row, and even the veterans of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, all bowed their heads to the ministers, which made the twelve cavalry generals shocked, and they did not dare to easily mix with Sun Ce and Tai Shici's heads-up, which can be called a sensational feat in Jiangnan.
As soon as the battle of Shenting ended, after he had seen the bravery of Xiaobawang and Tai Shici, he didn't stay longer, and when Liu Yao's army came to meet the chaos of the battle between the two sides, he resolutely left the battlefield. didn't even bother to say a word, and didn't even give Tai Shici a chance to thank or talk.
This person only had a glimpse in the Divine Pavilion, but since then he has become the shame of the generals of the Sun Army, and it has also become the regret of Tai Shici for half of his life.
He changed his name and surname, and went to Wancheng to be a silent pawn under the tent of his nominal brother Zhang Xiu.
In the second year of Jian'an, in the night battle of Wancheng, after he saw the brave martial arts of Dian Wei, who was known as the evil come, he resolutely left and changed his name again. Surrendered to Xuzhou.
In the first battle of Xiapi, he saw Lu Bu, the world's number one flying general, in a different place in Baimenlou, and then drifted away.
White Horse Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang......
Yanjin Wenchou was sentenced to ......
Over the years, he has traveled far and wide. But there is never a trace of nostalgia, in his heart, where there is something in the world, where there are fierce heroes. He appeared there, but only as a bystander who would never be noticed.
………………
Suddenly. The strong wind behind the guard's head sounded, and the blade was like a cold wind, but someone attacked from behind, although the person who came used a sneak attack, but the attack was ruthless and fierce.
The guard's brow furrowed slightly.
He quickly turned around on the horse, and the spear in his right hand blocked it vertically, and he was not afraid that the double iron halberd held by the other party was powerful and heavy, and it hit him directly.
"Bang!"
The guard's spear collided violently with the large iron halberd, and the sneak attack of the Dianman Lianren with the iron halberd flew out of the ground and stumbled on the grass.
The guard glanced at the big iron halberd in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Your father is Dian Wei, right?" Your strength is far from your father's. ”
Dian Man howled angrily, covered in mud, and did not breathe his body, he stood up directly and picked up an iron halberd, and threw himself on foot with a second swing of the halberd.
The guard couldn't help but nod slowly, and said, "This strength that is not afraid of death is very similar to your father." ”
After saying that, he saw that as soon as he raised his right arm, the head of the spear was stuck in the iron halberd, and the full iron halberd was sent to the door as if he were in his arms, and he was firmly fixed in the air by the guard with a spear, and he could not advance or retreat.
Glancing at Nomina's face, which had been slightly distorted by excessive exertion, the guard asked, "Dian Wei's son, what's your name?" ”
Dian Man struggled and couldn't move, on the one hand, he was shocked by the unfathomable strength of the enemy, and on the other hand, he was ashamed and angry, and scolded: "Grandson, I am the old lady of your family!" There is a kind of letting go of Lao Tzu's iron halberd, let's fight again! ”
The guard's eyes flashed, annoyed that he was speechless, and the spear was thrown back, causing the pawn to move forward, and he grabbed the horse's left leg and pulled it out, kicked it head-on, and said contemptuously: "Get out!" ”
Dian Man was indeed obedient, and after this kick, his body involuntarily rolled out a few feet in the air, and his body stabilized suddenly, but he was quickly supported by a black figure that swept by, so as to avoid falling into the mud.
The person who caught Dian Wei was Xu Yi, he saw that this elegant general had good marksmanship and great strength, and he couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, and he didn't dare to fight him easily.
Such a character seems to be even more powerful than his father Xu Chu! How do you get it?
Dianman gasped for breath and spat twice in a row, staring at the guard with frantic eyes.
"Piff, Lao Tzu is not your opponent now, and you have nothing to say about losing. Wait for a few more years of hard training, and swear to repay today's humiliation! ”
After that, he turned his head to look at Xu Yi behind him and said: "Brother, this person is very good, not one person can win, let's gather the strength of everyone to go together!" ”
“…………”
As he was talking, there was a sound behind him of a herald ordering the troops to retreat.
“…………”
********************************
White horse, Yuan Cao and the two sides of the discussion camp.
Today is the day when Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi negotiated again, and the two of them led all their advisers to the negotiation place early.
The two met without extra words.
Cao Zhi's face was serious, he sat down and looked at Yuan Shang and said, "Captain Yuan, how did you consider the conditions for you to release our prisoners last time?" Let me tell you, this prime minister is busy with official business, and I don't have time to spend here with you all the time! Let go or not. I'm waiting for you today! ”
Yuan Shang was not annoyed, just smiled slightly, and said: "Prime Minister Cao, you don't have to worry, today is the last day of the negotiation between the two of us, don't worry, after today, you just keep me, Yuan will not stay for one more day, are you happy to play with you when I think of it?" ”
Cao Zhi raised an eyebrow when he heard this. After thinking about it, his face showed a look of excitement.
"Are you going to release our prisoners?"
The corners of Yuan Shang's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't dream about Prime Minister Cao, are you stupid to me?" Now you, don't say that you will make me the Great Sima General, that is, to ensure that I am a Lang official, Your Majesty may not be able to pee on you, why do you want to sell me here? Who's blinded? ”
As soon as he said this, seeing Cao Zhi's face suddenly turned hundred, Guo Jia behind him raised his eyebrows slightly. Jia Xu sighed secretly, Liu Ye secretly clenched his fists, and the rest of Dong Zhao, Wang Lang and others had different colors. Obviously, Yuan Shang's words touched a certain heartstring.
Cao Zhi stabilized his mind, pressed down his nervous psychology, glanced at Yuan Shang coldly, and said, "What does Yuan Gong mean by this?" I beg your pardon for not being sure. ”
Yuan Shang shook his head. Said helplessly: "Don't deceive yourself, is it interesting?" Prime Minister Cao, you can hide the first day of junior high school. can't hide it from fifteen, such a big thing as the escape of the Son of Heaven, can you really cover it for the rest of your life? You can't hold the fire in the paper! Are you looking down on yourself too much, or are you taking my Hebei sentry secrets too seriously? ”
Cao Zhi wanted to speak when he heard this, but he heard Yuan Shang open his mouth and said: "In addition, the Son of Heaven has fled, you don't move a single soldier here, just let your younger brother Cao Chong lead five hundred elites to run east to serve as a chasing soldier, my brother Yuan Mai has already sent someone to inform me about this matter!" You ask me how he knows the truth? To tell you the truth, he also went to chase after him! ”
Cao Zhi's heart was cold, and he couldn't hold it back even if he wanted to continue to hide it at the moment, and then said casually: "Since you already know all the Dao, why do you want to play with me here?" The Son of Heaven is now out of Cao's control, you send someone to chase after you, you get the Son of Heaven, don't say that you want to be the general of the Great Sima, you just want to be the king, it's not a problem! ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "If I raise a large army to seize the Son of Heaven now, how can I resist after you take the opportunity to disturb my state and county and attack my soldiers and horses?" And you've been here with me all the time, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to go south to seize your territory? In the same way, why do you want to test me? ”
Cao Zhi smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother Yuan's words are honest and don't deceive me. ”
Yuan Shang's eyes swept over Cao Zhi's face, and then at Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, and suddenly said, "The Son of Heaven is lost, what are you going to do next?" ”
Cao Zhi was silent, but Guo Jia laughed and said: "Yuan Gong's question is interesting, Yuan and Cao are mortal enemies, what do we think, do we have to report to you in advance?" ”
Yuan Shang knocked on the table in front of him with a smile, and said, "Of course not, to be honest, I'm not interested in what you guys think, but I have an idea right now, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”
Cao Zhi and Guo Jia turned their heads at the same time: "I don't want to!" ”
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I really don't want to?" ”
But it was Jia Xu who coughed and said, "Don't pay attention to them...... What Yuan Gong thinks, it doesn't hurt to try to say. ”
Yuan Shang looked at Jia Xu with a grateful look and said, "Prime Minister Cao, to be honest, for the Son of Heaven, we are a little too underestimated this time!" This time, he not only took advantage of the opportunity of negotiation between you and me to escape from Xuchang City, but also used Liu Bei in Jingzhou to attract most of the troops in Zhongzhou for him, and afterwards also rebelled against my Changfeng in Hebei, and forced Xu He and Sima Ju Yellow Turban thieves in the land of Taishan to rebel, and played with my three families in one fell swoop! Not only that, the Son of Heaven does not go to Jingzhou, but takes Luoyang on the east road, what is his purpose? Presumably you can also guess that Luoyang is located at the junction of the Yuan, Cao, and Liu families, and if one does it, it will be boycotted by the other two at the same time, and His Majesty will maneuver between the three families, and let the three families contain each other with the holy decree, recruit troops, and watch the world change! This move is not ruthless! ”
When Cao Zhi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said: "Even if this is the case, you and I have no choice, if I take the Son of Heaven, you won't do it, and if you want to take the Son of Heaven, I can't let it." ”
Yuan Shangzheng said: "Then let His Majesty be blind in Luoyang and show off his might to us?" ”
Cao Zhi looked at him: "What do you want?" ”
Yuan Shang said with a smile: "The premise for the establishment of these plans under Your Majesty is that the three of us want to take him!" Then we might as well do the opposite, let's all make an agreement, in the matter of fighting for the Son of Heaven, no one will fight, no one will rob, in front of the Son of Heaven, we will work together. Stepping on a boat, out of the eyes of the Son of Heaven, how do we want to fight, each with his own ability to live and die and others have nothing to do, what do you think? ”
As soon as Yuan Shang's words came out, not only Cao Zhi, but also Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help but be surprised.
Jia Xu frowned, and said uncharacteristically: "Please also ask Yuan Gong to be able to speak more clearly?" How to work together and pedal on the same boat? ”
Yuan Shang said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to invite Liu Bei from Jingzhou to meet at the Wanluo Sanguan crossing." Each of the three families led 30,000 elite soldiers to Luoyang together! ”
Cao Zhi was stunned when he heard this: "What are you going to Luoyang to do at this time?" ”
Yuan Shang showed a sincere smile: "How fresh?" The Son of Heaven set up a new capital and wanted to make a big move, so those of us who were princes of foreign domains didn't go to the court to congratulate for a while, like words? ”
Guo Jia was slightly happy and said, "Guo understands, Yuan Gong." Where are you Asaga, it's clear that you're forcing the palace. ”
Yuan Shang nodded, and said with a straight face: "Say something taboo, today." There are only four people who really have the ability to call it an opponent, me, you. Liu Bei, Sun Quan. This time, the Son of Heaven moved the capital, and Sun Quan was far away in the south of the Yangtze River. It has nothing to do with him, only the two of us and Liu Bei are involved, we can't let the Son of Heaven lead us by the nose, he wants to provoke us and balance us, we just unite to fight against him! I intend that for the Son of Heaven, none of the three of us fight, no one grabs, just hang him in Luoyang, jointly control, the three are coerced, and restrict their development in Luoyang, and the three of us can each send a heavy general and elite soldiers, respectively, stationed in Wancheng, Zhongmu, and Hejian, as the three sentinels who monitor the Son of Heaven and also monitor each other, the three families enter Beijing at the same time every three months to congratulate each other, and the topic of the request is discussed by the three families, and do not give the Son of Heaven the opportunity to use the provocation, as for the outside of the court, our three families or war or peace, each with their own ability, how? ”
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Cao Zhi got up abruptly and said, "Yuan Shang, you can even say this, it's a big rebellion~!" ”
Yuan Shang was slightly happy: "You don't care if I'm rebellious, you can't do it, right?" If you don't do it, I'll go with Liu Bei together? I won't have your share at that time! ”
Cao Zhi just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but saw Guo Jia gently pull his sleeve, signaling him not to speak, and then said: "Specific affairs, when the time comes, what should we do?" ”
Yuan Shang spread his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven is no longer in Xudu, there is no point in the negotiation between you and me, the two armies collect their own troops, you go back to Xuchang, I go back to Yecheng, and then you and I each order troops, invite Xuande Gong, and go to Wanluo Sanguan Road Crossing together, everyone is united and friendly, and they go to congratulate the Son of Heaven together, how about this idea?" ”
Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Just according to what Yuan Gong said!" ”
When Cao Zhi heard this, he was shocked and said, "Mr. Fengxiao, this ...... This is a great rebellion ......"
But Guo Jia's sharp eyes suddenly glanced over.
Cao Zhi was silent for a moment.
***********************
The agreement was agreed, and the two families went back to prepare, and on the way, Cao Zhi said unwillingly: "Mr. Fengxiao, I don't understand, that Yuan Shang is so rebellious, saying such things?" Why do you have to promise him! ”
Guo Jia touched his beard, and his expression was not flustered: "Because what he said is in line with the current situation." ”
Seeing that Cao Zhi was puzzled, Guo Jia said: "Prime Minister, in today's world, all the princes, big and small, should be destroyed, and those who should be collected, the remaining few are all big tails, and the strong family is in full swing, and it is the time when the competition is in full swing, and His Majesty is not allowed to come out to stir up the situation at this time." ”
Jia Xu was on Cao Zhi's side and said: "Yes, the Son of Heaven is in Luoyang, no one of the three families wants to seize it, if you want to take it hard, but it will be used, it is better to be like Yuan Shang said, everyone is honest and honest, work together to fight against the imperial court, and don't give the imperial court a chance to turn over and expand its power." ”
Cao Zhi said: "Even if this is the case, the three families have negotiated, and placed soldiers and horses in Hejian, Wancheng, and Zhongmu to restrict the imperial court, so why join forces to force the palace?" Isn't that disrespectful? Yuan Shang is not sensible, why are you two also coaxing? ”
Guo Jia and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and then they both sighed in unison.
This prime minister, compared to Yuan Shang's ghostly eyes, is still much less.
Jia Xu twisted his head and said, "You explain, the old man doesn't know what to say." ”
Guo Jia was slightly happy: "You will try to save your mind...... Prime Minister, this time we joined forces to force the palace, did you do nothing when Yuan Shang was full of food? He is purposeful! ”
Cao Zhiyi frowned and said, "What purpose?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven is in Luoyang, after all, it is not the same as the princes, there is nothing wrong with the princes fighting each other, Yuan Shang can send troops to fight you, you can also send troops to fight Yuan Shang, but the princes fight the Son of Heaven, this matter is not easy to talk about!" Except for people like Li Dao and Guo Yan, can you and Yuan Shang do this kind of thing? ”
Cao Zhi was enlightened when he heard this.
"Prime Minister, do you think, so many princes in the world have been destroyed, why is Liu Bei still alive after repeated defeats? And the ability of his subordinates to endure not only decreases, but increases? He himself has the ability to do a little, and another point, because he is the imperial uncle of the Han family! It's the emperor! ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia sighed and said: "In today's world, the hearts of scholars are still to the Han, and the prestige of four hundred years is not so simple to be erased. Liu Bei understands this best, and he also knows the power of people's hearts to Han, and Guo estimates that this is also the most important reason why he agreed to Yuan Shang! The purpose of Yuan Shang uniting us to force the palace is nothing else, that is, to give a wake-up call to those eager scholars in the world, the Son of Heaven is still not independent, or he cannot be independent, he is still under the control of the three of us! If you don't do that, you'll be afraid in a few years......"
Cao Zhi suddenly said: "Once the Son of Heaven sits in Xudu, there is no good reason, he can't send troops, but if he doesn't send troops, he will let him develop, and the best way to limit his development is to force the palace!" Let the world see, the Son of Heaven is still the unsupportable puppet, right? ”
"That's the ............" (to be continued......)
