Chapter 27, the fox and the tiger

Through the previous interrogation of Huang Jie, Xiongnu prisoners and others, Shi Xun has roughly grasped the situation in the surrounding area of Luoyang. It is said that since Zhu Jun led the army back to Chang'an, Henan has become a borderless land - if it is left in the SLG game, it is a blank land, and anyone can occupy it. Of course, the actual situation is not so simple, there are still people appointed by the imperial court in each city (in fact, to be more precise, appointed by Zhu Jun on the same day, or later appointed by Li Dao and Guo Yan), but at most a few hundred township soldiers under his command, it is really forced to follow whoever comes, and there is no discipline at all.

Not long ago, Dong Cheng and others returned to the east of Fengtianzi, because they were chased and killed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and were forced to cross the river to Anyi, leaning on Zhang Yang in the east and relying on Yang Feng, Han Xian and other Baibo commanders in the north, as well as the exiled Southern Xiongnu branch. However, it was the old capital of Luoyang that dedicated Emperor Nianzi to the city, so he rushed to seal Dong Cheng as General Wei and sent him back to rest in the palace first. Dong Cheng thus occupied the old capital, but there were less than 10,000 people under his command, and most of them were incomplete in equipment and armor, and their combat effectiveness was extremely low.

So even if Huang Jie only brought 3,000 Jingzhou soldiers with goods, Dong Cheng didn't dare to let them into the city.

For such an army, Shi Xun is not afraid at all, he believes that with the three hundred cavalry under Xiahou Lan, even if Dong Cheng is not defeated, he can at least keep his own safety. But the Hun soldiers have just retreated, although the words before leaving are very soft, but the hearts of the people are unpredictable, not to mention the hearts of the Hu people? If they set up an ambush to intercept themselves halfway, it is estimated that Xiahoulan's cavalry will not be enough—they can defeat twice as many Hu cavalry as themselves by surprise attack, can they still face ten times or even more Hu cavalry?

So Shi Xun must be involved with Tai Shi Ci, and Ziyi's thick leg has been hugged for many years. Practice has proven. Very stable and down-to-earth. Tai Shici was not at ease, so he took a few hundred cavalry to Luoyang first. So after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, leaving hundreds of foot soldiers to guard the Yanshi, waiting for Cao Hong, and he personally led thousands of main forces, so he and Xiahou Lan and Sun Wen together to protect Shixun out of the city and go to Luoyang - Yesun also pulled Huang Shot, that guy is a serious 2,000 stone, although people are useless. The signboard can barely make a move.

In fact, Xun still has a good impression of Huang Jie, not to mention that this guy took care of himself when he was in Jingzhou, and from the perspective of this person's temperament and talent, it is exactly half a catty and eight taels with Xun, which is quite reasonable. There is no record of Huang Zhu's fate in the history books, and it is estimated that he lost his head in the battle with Jiangdong Sun, just like his father Huang Zu. So Xun thought, can you set up a friendship and pull him to Cao Cao's side? It's a pity that he wants to save his life, but he may not understand. Not to mention the appreciation.

The soldiers and horses came to the city of Luoyang, but there was no danger on the road. Didn't run into the Huns again—Yu Fuluo had already taken Huchuquan's advice and set off for Pingyang, at most as he passed through the Han villages and towns, and then went on to repeat the massacres in retaliation......

Wait for Xun and Tai Shici and others to take a look at the city, yes, this is the old capital Luoyang? Everyone was dumbfounded. Only Huang Jie had seen Luoyang City once, and immediately sighed: "In the past, Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage, moved the capital to Chang'an, and set fire to Luoyang before leaving. ”

The originally magnificent Luoyang City, now displayed in front of Shi Xun and the others, although it was not a complete pile of ruins, it was not much better. Dong Cheng came to Luoyang to repair the palace room, but after two months, even with the help of the people sent by Jingzhou and the materials transported, he never really repaired the temple - not even the rubble of the old hall was cleaned - and was busy repairing the city wall first. Even so, today's Luoyang is also an inexhaustible fortress, and the defense power is estimated to be not as high as the dock fort in Pingchun.

It was Xun Zhi who said that Luoyang was miserable, but it was so miserable that this field was really unexpected.

Immediately said hello to Tai Shici, and the two led the soldiers and horses straight to the Upper East Gate in the northeast. There were more than a dozen soldiers at the door, and they were all stunned when they suddenly saw this majestic and high-spirited team sweeping out. Finally, a petty officer struggled boldly and shouted from afar: "Stop, where are you from?" ”

Shi Xun was driven by Sun Wen, and he rode with Huang Jie, and he didn't salute, just stretched out his hand and pointed at the other party: "We are the Yanzhou Cao Thorn History Department, and I have come to pay homage to the Son of Heaven and escort King Qin." The petty officer replied tremblingly: "Heaven and the Son of Heaven have not yet returned the capital...... You wait, please take a break for a while, and Rong will go to report. ”

Shi Xun said: "Quickly go to inform General Wei, and say that the soldiers and horses of King Qinwang of Yanzhou have arrived." Quickly, quickly, there is no need to pass it on through others, and you will pass it on to your face. The little officer was stunned when he heard this: "I...... Villain...... The villain's character rank is too low to see General Dong...... You must first report to the school captain Zhilu Dao......"

Shi Xun immediately raised his eyebrows, straightened his face, and shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable! A certain is the army of King Qinzhou of Yanzhou, and Zhang Ling Huang Taishou is also in the army, Luoyang is so vast, when you and other levels are spread, the sky will be dark! Could it be that the two thousand stones of Xian will not be able to sleep outside the city! As he spoke, he glanced at Tai Shi Ci, Ziyi immediately urged him to step forward, and the long lance stood out, and the lance pressed heavily on the shoulder of the little officer: "A certain is Donglai Tai Shi Ci, if you want to live, get out of the way quickly!" ”

This registration frightened the little officer into sifting chaff all over his body, and he didn't need to use too much force to sit on the ground. Xiahou Lan commanded the cavalry to rush up, and instantly controlled the city gate, and then the large group of foot soldiers rushed in.

Tai Shi Ci squinted at the little officer sitting on the ground, turned his head to look at Shi Xun who was following up, and couldn't help laughing: "I know that the Dong Department is scattered, and I don't want to be useless!" "Yes Xun" Ha Lu Ha "Da Lu smiled: "If it weren't for Ziyi's fame to shock the world, this city gate would not be so easy to win - today is known, people should seek truth, but the name and reality complement each other, and it should not be wasted." "I thought in my heart, Lao Tzu has to work hard to brush up his reputation to become successful, even if he can't deter the enemy like Tai Shici on the battlefield, he must also play the effect of "one bird enters the forest, and one hundred birds suppress the sound" among the scholars!

After taking control of the Upper East Gate, the Yanzhou army steadily advanced into the city until it approached the palace wall of the North Palace...... The palace wall was in ruins, and only then did Dong Cheng's department gather to block it. Tai Shi Ci immediately erected a long lance, and hundreds of horsemen behind him also erected the horse lance at the same time, and the cold light shone brightly, which frightened the enemy all to shrink back. It was Xun Xun who ordered Sun Wen to drive to the front of the battle, looked around the other party coldly, and said in a loud voice: "A certain is a Yanzhou envoy, and there is Jingzhou Huang Taishou in the car, asking to see General Wei!" ”

An officer replied right away—look at the armor, the color of the uniform, and at most a lieutenant—"How can you lead your army into the city when you have come to see General Wei?" Shi Xun sneered: "The city is not guarded, how to protect the Son of Heaven?" I can't wait to enter the city, can I stop the thieves by waiting for you?! Okay, our army will stop here, and you will quickly take a certain person to meet General Wei! ”

Yes Xun is really not afraid of Dong Cheng. To say that the generals who have been guarding the Son of Heaven for a while can be roughly divided into two categories: one is Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Li Le, the old commanders of Baibo, plus the Southern Huns, all of whom are live bandits, who do not understand etiquette at all, and have no lower limit on doing things; The second is that the old generals of the Han Dynasty such as Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang still have some face. Among the guys who were born as scholars, who can read and write, who have read books, and who have accumulated meritorious deeds, if you really want to say that they are completely shameless, there is probably only one Rongrong, even Dong Zhuo just despises the imperial power, and does not dare to really despise the old traditions and old order, not to mention Dong Chengji?

When he encounters an undisciplined and shameless guy, Yeshun really doesn't dare to mess around - God knows what the other party can do; But if you want to meet a guy who has a little better face and has illusions about the traditional order, it is Xun who can lower his discipline without a bottom line - you are compared with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu has Taishi Ziyi to protect him, and Cao Cao and Yan, Xu, and Yu as the backing, now in Luoyang City, who can beat Lao Tzu? ! Who still can't do the fox fake tiger might?

So since the Yanzhou army has taken control of the Upper East Gate, it may take down the entire Luoyang City with a single charge at any time, and Shi Xun followed the other party frankly to see Dong Cheng - there was only Sun Wen driving and Huang Jie trembling by his side, plus ten elite soldiers under the command of Xiahou Lan, but the momentum and the mouth were like a commander with thousands of troops and horses. Dong Cheng also wanted to put up a shelf, and lined up his own soldiers in the general's mansion where he temporarily lived, which was very beautiful, and asked them to sign up, but Shi Xun didn't even look at those miscellaneous things, and reported to Huang Zhu and Sun Wen, and swaggered inside.

When I got to the hall, I took a look, well, the beard with a face full of vicissitudes sitting in the right seat, I thought it was General Wei Dong Cheng - I don't know what kind of virtue he has in his character, what kind of daughter is born, and she can be a nobleman who dedicates the emperor? Maybe it's a completely political marriage, and Emperor Xian was actually forced to admit it by pinching his nose - there is also a white fat man next to him, who may be Dong Cheng's secretary.

Dong Cheng's face sank like water, and he asked in a cold voice: "Who is in the hall?" Huang Shot trembled and bowed his hand: "Zhang Ling is too guarded by Huang Shot." Shixun held his head high, blushed his face, pouted, and casually shook his head: "A certain person has already gone to the hall, not under the hall - Yanzhou is engaged in Shixun, meet General Wei." ”

Dong Cheng was so angry that he was about to have a seizure on the spot, but he was quietly pulled by the white fat man next to him. I heard the white fat man speak: "I heard that Yanzhou is a Hongfu poetry and writing, and he knows the Five Classics, so he should be a person who knows etiquette. ”

Shi Xun squinted and glanced at the other party: "How do you call your name?" ”

"Don't dare," the white fat man smiled slightly, "Yilang Dong Zhao." (To be continued......)
