Chapter 12: Waves Again

A few days later, Dong Zhuoyu's party Li Meng and Wang Fang responded to the thieves in the city, secretly opened the city gate, and the four thieves rushed in together.

Lu Bu rushed left and right, couldn't stop it, and led hundreds of horses to the outside of Qingzuo Gate,

Hu Wang Yun said: "Urgent! Please Situ get on the horse and go out of the customs together, don't try to make a good plan. ”

Wang Yun said: "If you are blessed with the spirit of Sheji, you can secure the country, and my wish will also; If not, he is allowed to die.

I will not do anything to avoid difficulties. Thank you to the Kanto princes for me, and strive to think of the country! ”

Lu Bu persuaded him repeatedly, but Wang Yun just refused to go.

After a while, the flames of each gate were in the sky, and Lu Bu had to abandon his family, lead more than 100 horsemen to rush out of the pass, and went to Yuan Shu.

Li Dao and Guo Yan plundered their troops.

Taichang Qing Chongfu, Tai Servant Lu Kui, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Cheng Gate Captain Cui Lie, and Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Qi all died in the national disaster.

The thieves surrounded the inner court, and the courtiers asked the Son of Heaven to go to Xuanping Gate to stop the chaos.

Li Dao and the others saw Huang Gai, made an appointment with the sergeant, and shouted "Long live".

Emperor Xian leaned on the floor and asked: "Qing does not wait for the invitation, what do you want to enter Chang'an?" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan said on their backs: "Taishi Dong is a minister of His Majesty's society, and he was murdered by Wang Yun for no reason, and the ministers came to take revenge, and they did not dare to rebel.

But when he saw Wang Yun, the minister withdrew his troops. ”

Wang Yunshi was on the emperor's side, and when he heard this, he said: "The minister is a social plan.

The matter has come to this, Your Majesty does not pity the ministers, and misunderstands the country. Please see the two thieves. ”

The emperor couldn't bear to linger.

Yun jumped downstairs from the Xuanping Gate and shouted, "Wang Yun is here!" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan drew their swords and said: "What is the crime of Master Dong to see and kill? ”

Wang Yun said: "The sin of Dong Thief is unspeakable!" The day of the condemnation.

The people of Chang'an, all celebrate, but you don't hear it? ”

Dao and Yan said: "The Taishi is guilty; What sins have I waited for, that I will not forgive? ”

Wang Yun scolded: "Why should the traitor say more! My Wang Yun is just dead today! ”

The two thieves got up and killed Wang Yun downstairs.

The thieves killed Wang Yun, and on the other hand, they sent people to kill all the old and young of Wang Yun's clan.

The people wept.

At that moment, Li Dao and Guo Yan pondered and said: "Since you are here, if you don't kill the Son of Heaven and make great things, when will you stay?" Then he cried out with his sword, and struck in.

But it was said that Li and Guo wanted to kill the emperor.

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou said: "No. If you kill him today, lest the people disobey him,

It is better to still serve it as the master, earn the princes to enter the customs, first go to their wings, and then kill them, the world can also be profitable. ”

Li and Guo followed their words and held down their weapons.

The emperor proclaimed upstairs and said: "Wang Yun is punished, why don't the military horses retreat?" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan said: "The ministers and other meritorious royal families have not been given knighthoods, so they dare not withdraw from the army. ”

The emperor said: "What do you want to be crowned a knight?" "Li, Guo, Zhang, and Fan each wrote their own titles, and the emperor had to follow them if they wanted such an official product.

Feng Li Wei is the general of the chariot cavalry, Chiyang Marquis, the commander of the school, and Guo Yan is the later general Meiyang Marquis is the fake Jieyue, and he is the same as the government;

Fan Chou is the right general Wannian Hou, Zhang Ji is the hussar general Pingyang Hou, and leads the troops to Tun Hongnong.

The rest of Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc., each is a captain. Then thanksgiving, and led the troops out of the city.

He also ordered the search for Dong Zhuo's corpse, obtained some fragments of skin and bones, and carved them into shapes with fragrant wood.

Settle down, set up a big sacrifice, use the king's clothes and coffin, choose an auspicious day, and move the burial in Yiwu.

During the burial period, a heavy thunderstorm fell from the sky, and the water on the flat ground was several feet deep, and the thunderbolt shook his coffin, and the body was lifted out of the coffin.

Li Wei waited for the Qing to be buried again, and it was the same at night. Three reburials, none of which could be buried, and the bones were all wiped out by thunder and fire.

Heavenly Fury. That's a lot!

Let's say that Li Dao and Guo Yan are both in power and cruel to the people;

Secretly send henchmen to serve the emperor left and right, and watch his movements.

Emperor Xian acted thorny at this time.

Imperial court officials, and by the two thieves ascended and lowered.

Because of the popularity of the people, it was specially announced that Zhu Jun entered the court as a servant and led the government together.

One day, people reported that Xiliang was too guarded by Ma Teng; The second general of the state assassin Han Sui led more than 100,000 troops, killed Chang'an, and denounced the thief.

It turned out that the two generals had sent people into Chang'an, and connected Ma Yu in the service, Chong Shao, and Liu Fan in Zuo Zhonglang, and conspired with the thief party.

The three of them secretly dedicated themselves to the emperor, and Feng Ma Teng was the general of Zhengxi and Han Sui was the general of Zhenxi, each of whom received a secret edict and tried to ask for thieves.

At that moment, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou heard that the two armies were coming, and they discussed the strategy of resisting the enemy together.

Strategist Jia Xu said: "The second army is far away, and it is only advisable to go deep and high, and hold on to it to resist.

However, in 100 days, the other army will run out of food, and it will definitely retreat by itself, and then lead the troops to chase it, and the two generals can be captured. ”

Li Meng and Wang Fangchu said: "This is not a good plan. I am willing to borrow 10,000 elite soldiers to behead Ma Teng and Han Sui's heads and dedicate them to his command. ”

Jia Xu said: "If you fight now, you will be defeated." ”

Li Meng and Wang Fang said in unison: "If the two of us are defeated, we are willing to be beheaded; If I win, the prince will also lose to me. ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan said: "Two hundred miles west of Chang'an, the road is steep.

The two generals Zhang and Fan can be stationed here and defend the wall; Wait for Li Meng and Wang Fang to lead troops to meet the enemy, but also. ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan followed his words and ordered 15,000 men and horses with Li Meng and Wang Fang.

The two of them left happily and went down to the village 280 miles away from Chang'an.

The Xiliang soldiers arrived, and the two led the army to greet them. 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 Fang and scolding:

"Traitor! Who's going to catch it? ”

Before he could say anything, he saw a young general, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like meteors, a tiger body and ape arms, and a wolf's waist;

With a spear in his hand and a horse in his hand, he flew out of the array.

It turned out that the general was Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, whose name was Mengqi, was seventeen years old and invincible.

The king bullied him at a young age and jumped on a horse to fight. Before the battle was counted, he was stabbed under the horse by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao pulled the horse back. Li Meng saw that Wang Fang was stabbed to death, and rushed from behind Ma Chao on horseback.

I don't know. Ma Teng shouted under the formation gate: "Someone is chasing behind!" ”

The sound was still endless, and I saw that Ma Chao had captured Li Meng on the horse.

It turned out that Ma Chao knew that Li Meng was chasing, but he deliberately delayed it;

When his horse approached and stabbed with a spear, the super general flashed, Li Meng shook the air, and the two horses were together, and Ma Chao lightly stretched his ape arm and captured him alive.

The sergeant has no owner, and he runs away from the wind. Ma Teng and Han Sui took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, won a big victory, and approached the pass to go down to the village, and beheaded Li Meng.

Li Dao and Guo Yan heard that Li Meng and Wang Fang were killed by Ma Chao, and Fang Xin Jia Xu was prescient.

Reuse his strategy, only pay attention to the guards, let him fight, and do not welcome.

Sure enough, the Xiliang army was less than two months old, and there was a shortage of food and grass, so they discussed returning to the army.

It just so happened that Ma Yu's family in Chang'an City had the first head of the family with Liu Fan and Chong Shao, and Ma Teng and Han Sui were outside, wanting to wait for the internal situation.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were furious, and they all collected the three good and young people in the city, and put the three heads in front of the door to order.

Ma Teng and Han Sui saw that the military rations were exhausted, and they had to withdraw from the army.

Li Dao and Guo Yan ordered Zhang Ji to lead the army to drive Ma Teng, Fan Chou to lead the army to drive 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, to see if he caught up, close to Chen Cang,

Han Sui Lema said to Fan Chou: "I am a fellow villager with Gong, why is it too ruthless today? ”

Fan Chou also reined in his horse and replied, "The order cannot be violated!" ”

Han Sui said: "I am also here for the ears of the country, why should the public force each other? ”

Fan Chou listened, turned the horse's head, collected the troops and returned to the village, and let Han Sui go.

Don't beware of Li Bei's nephew Li Bei, seeing Fan Chou let Han Sui go, he repaid his uncle.

Li Dao was furious, so he wanted to raise troops to fight against Fan Chou.

Jia Yi said: "Today's people's hearts are restless, and they are frequently fighting, which is deeply inconvenient;

If you set up a banquet, invite Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to celebrate their achievements, and capture them during the banquet, effortlessly. ”

Li Dao was overjoyed, so he set up a banquet for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.

The two generals went to the banquet with Xinran.

After half a year of drinking, Li Wei suddenly changed color and said: "Why did Fan Chou traffic Han Sui and wanted to rebel?" ”

was shocked and did not have time to reply; I saw the knife and axe hand rushing out, and beheaded Fan Chou early under the case.

Frightened, Zhang Ji fell to the ground.

Li Wei helped him up and said: "Fan Chou rebelled, so he was punished; The public is my confidant, why should I be afraid? ”

Assign Fan Choujun to Zhang Ji to take charge. Zhang Ji went back to Hongnong.

Li Dao and Guo Yan defeated the Xiliang soldiers in battle, and the princes dared no one.

Jia Xu repeatedly persuaded the people to appease and accept the virtuous. Since the imperial court has a slight business.

I don't want the yellow scarves in Qingzhou to rise again, gather hundreds of thousands, and the leaders are not equal, and rob the good people.

The servant Zhu Jun can break the group of thieves by holding one person.

Li Dao and Guo Yan asked who it was.

Zhu Jun said: "If you want to break the group of thieves in Shandong, you have to Cao Mengde." ”

Li Dao said: "Where is Meng De today? ”

Jun said: "Now it is the Taishou of Dongjun, and there are many soldiers. If this person is ordered to beg the thief, the thief will be broken. ”

Li Dao was overjoyed, sent people to Dongjun, and ordered Cao Cao and Jibei Xiang Bao Xin to break the thieves together.

Cao Cao received the holy decree, met with Bao Xin, raised troops together, and attacked the thief in Shouyang.

Bao Xin entered the heavy ground and was victimized by thieves. Cao Cao pursued the thieves until Jibei, where tens of thousands of people fell.

Cao Cao used thieves as the forerunner, and the soldiers and horses were everywhere, all of them surrendered.

However, in more than 100 days, more than 300,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 men and women were recruited.

Cao Cao selected the elite, called the "Qingzhou soldiers", and the rest were ordered to return to the peasants.

Since then, Cao Cao's prestige has grown. Jieshu reported to Chang'an, and the imperial court added Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong.

Cao Cao is in Yanzhou, recruiting talents.

There are two uncles and nephews who came to vote for Cao Cao: he is a native of Yingyin, Yingchuan, surnamed Xun, named Yu, the character Wenruo, and the son of Xun Qi;

Yuan Shao in the past, now abandon Shao and vote for Cao Cao;

Cao Cao said to Yu Dayue: "This is my son's room! ”

So he thought it was a marching horse.

His nephew Xun You, the word Gongda, a famous man in the sea, once worshiped the Yellow Gate Squire,

After abandoning the official and returning to his hometown, he now joined Cao Cao with his uncle, and Cao Cao thought he was a professor of marching.

Xun Yu said: "I heard that there is a wise man in Yanzhou, and now this person does not know where he is. ”

Cao Cao asked who it was, and Yu said: "Naidong County Dong'a people, surnamed Cheng, named Yu, and the word Zhongde." ”

Cao Cao said: "I have also been famous for a long time. ”

Then he sent people to inquire in the village.

Visited him to study in the mountains, and Cao Cao invited him.

Cheng Yu came to see him, and Cao Cao was overjoyed.

Yu Xun Yu said: "A lonely and unheard of is not enough to be recommended by the public.

The surname of the township of the public is Guo, the name is Jia, the word is filial piety, and he is a wise man today, so why not take it? ”

Yu Mengxing said: "I almost forgot! ”

Then Cao Cao recruited Guo Jia to Yanzhou to discuss the affairs of the world.

Guo Jia recommended the descendants of the Guangwu faction, a native of Huainan Chengde, surnamed Liu, named Ye, and the word Ziyang.

Cao Cao immediately hired Ye Zhi.

Ye recommended two people: one is a native of Changyi, Shanyang, with a surname Man, a pet name, and a character Boning;

One is a native of Wucheng, surnamed Lu, whose name is pious, and whose name is Ke.

Cao Cao also knew these two reputations, so he was hired to serve in the army.

Man Zhong and Lu Qian recommended a total of one person, who is Chen Liuping Qiu, surnamed Mao, named Jue, and the word filial piety.

Cao Cao was also hired.

Another general led hundreds of troops to join Cao Cao:

It is a native of Taishan Juping, surnamed Yu, the name is forbidden, and the words are written.

Cao Cao saw that he was skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts were outstanding, so he was ordered to be the commander of the army.

One day, Xiahoudun brought a big man to see him, and Cao Cao asked who,

He said: "This is Chen Liuren, surname, name Wei, brave and powerful."

The old followed Zhang Miao, disagreed with the people under the tent, killed dozens of people, and fled to the mountains.

When he went out to hunt, he saw Wei chasing the tiger across the stream, because he was in the army.

Today, it is specially recommended to the public. ”

Cao Cao said: "I see that this person is burly and must have courage. ”

He said: "He once killed someone to avenge his friend, and he went straight out of the downtown area, and hundreds of people did not dare to approach.

Only now I made two iron halberds, weighing eighty pounds, carried on the horse, and carried the envoy like flying. ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered Wei to try it. Wei took the halberd and galloped back and forth.

Suddenly, the banner under the tent was blown by the wind, and it was about to fall, and the soldiers were holding it hostage;

Wei dismounted, drank and retreated from the army, held the flagpole in one hand, and stood in the wind, standing still.

Cao Cao said: "This ancient evil is also coming! ”

Then he was ordered to be the lieutenant in front of the tent, and he was given a brocade jacket and a carved saddle on a horse.

Since Cao Cao's subordinates have strategists, military generals, and Weizhen Shandong.

It is to send Taishan Tai to guard the Shao and go to Yaoya County to take his father Cao Song. Song took refuge in Chen's stay and lived in seclusion;

On the same day, he received the letter, and his brother Cao De and a family of more than 40 people,

With more than 100 followers and more than 100 cars, they came to Yanzhou.

The road passes through Xuzhou, too shou Tao Qian, the word Gongzu, is gentle and pure, and wants to accept Cao Cao, there is no reason;

Knowing that Cao Cao's father passed by, he left the country to greet him, and then saluted, and set up a feast for two days.

Cao Song wanted to go, Tao Qian personally sent Guo out, and Zhang Min, the special captain, escorted 500 soldiers.

Cao Song led his family to China and Feijian, when the end of summer and early autumn, heavy rain came, and he had to spend time in an ancient temple.

Monastery access. Song settled down to a small family, and ordered General Zhang Min to Ma Tun in two corridors.

All the army's clothes were wet with rain, and they complained in unison. Zhang Min summoned the leaders of his subordinates to discuss in a quiet place and said:

"We were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and we reluctantly surrendered to Tao Qian, but it was not good.

Now that the Cao family has countless heavy vehicles, it is not difficult for you to get rich and rich, just three watches tonight,

Everyone cut in, killed Cao Song's family, took the property, and went to the mountains to fall into the grass together. What is the plan? ”

All agreed. It was the night when the wind and rain had not stopped, Cao Song was sitting, and suddenly heard the shouting of the four walls.

Cao De lifted his sword and was strangled to death. After Cao Song hurriedly led a concubine into the abbot, he wanted to go over the wall;

The concubine was fat and couldn't come out, so Song panicked, hid in the toilet with the concubine, and was killed by the rebels.

Ying Shao escaped with his life and went to Yuan Shao.

Zhang Min killed Cao Song's entire family, took property, set fire to the temple, and fled to Huainan with 500 people.

At that moment, there were sergeants who fled for their lives under Ying Shao's subordinates, and they reported to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard this, he fell to the ground crying. The crowd rescued.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "Tao Qian killed my father in the army, this hatred is not shared!" I am now raising an army and sweeping Xuzhou, Fang Xue and I hate it! ”

So Xun Yu and Cheng Yu led 30,000 troops to guard Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e counties, and the rest went to Xuzhou.

Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei were the pioneers. Cao Cao's order: But to get the city, the people in the city, slaughter all the people, to snow the father's revenge.
