Chapter 98: The Emperor Returns East
Li Wei said with a smile: "I have the credit of defeating Lu Bu, and I have worked hard to assist the government for four years, the achievements are remarkable, everyone knows it, Guo Yan is just a thief, how can he rob and kill the minister without authorization, and compete with me, there is no way to resolve the hatred between me and him, I have to kill him, so that I can get my wish, you have been to his camp, and now I also know that there are many strategists and generals in my camp, as a fellow countryman, you tell me the truth, if I fight with him, can I win him?" ”
replied: "Actually, that's not the case, before Hou Yi relied on his own magic arrow, which could shoot down the sun, and he didn't think that he would suffer, so he perished." Recently, Taishi Dong is also very powerful, you yourself have seen it yourself, Lu Bu received his favor but personally killed him, this is only in the blink of an eye, and his head is still hanging above the city gate, so the strength does not last. General, although you are a general, you also have many strategists and generals, and you also assist the emperor, and the descendants and clans are all in high positions, and the national grace is not unimportant, but Guo Yan is now hijacking the minister, and you are hijacking the emperor, from this point of view, who is more serious? ”
Li Xun heard the ridicule in the other party's mouth, and said angrily: "Did Emperor Xian send you over to laugh at me?" I'll kill your head first, so that my heart will hate it!" ”
Yang Feng, the commander of the cavalry, advised: "Now that Guo Yan has not been removed, if you kill the envoys of the son, then Guo Yan will have a reason to raise troops, and the princes will also help him." ”
Jia Xu was also there at this time and also persuaded him.
Seeing this, Jia Xu hurriedly pushed Huang Fu Li out, and Huang Fu Li was also very excited, and said: "Li Xuan is not edicted, this is a preparation for rebellion, and he is preparing to kill Emperor Xian and establish himself as the emperor." ”
Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and Li Xuan did not hear it in the camp, so Hu Miao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't say such angry words, except for speeding up your death, there is no benefit." ”
Huangfu Li reprimanded: "You are also an important minister of the imperial court, and you don't want to contribute to the imperial court, why do you want to attach yourself to Li Xuan, a thief?" Since ancient times, the king has humiliated his ministers to death, even if I was killed by Li Xuan, this is also my duty as a minister. ”
Still scolding, after Emperor Xian knew about this situation, in order to protect him, he could only send him back to Xiliang without entering the imperial court.
Before leaving, Huangfu Li spread propaganda in his army, threatening: "Li Xun is a traitor who is ready to rebel, and the people who follow him are all fellow rebels, and there will definitely be no good results in the future." ”
The people of Xiliang are still relatively simple, and they also have some concepts of right and wrong in their hearts, knowing that what they are doing is rebellion, many of Rao's ideas have changed, so that the morale of the army has been shaken, and soon Li Xuan's troops began to lose their morale.
Li Xun noticed this situation and felt very angry, so he sent Wang Chang to chase him. Wang Chang knew that Huangfu Li was a loyal and righteous man, so he didn't chase him at all, just made a show, and then returned to report: "Huangfu Li doesn't know where to go? ”
Jia Xu secretly sent a letter to the Qiang people, saying: "Zi knows that you are all loyal and righteous people, and you have worked hard, so I secretly issued an edict for you to return to Qunxian, and there will be a heavy reward in the future." ”
Jia Xu can be said to have grasped the psychology of the other party, the Qiang people actually helped Li Xun a lot, but the other party never said anything, which made him very angry, Jia Xu's letter was actually very timely, so he listened to his words and took the soldiers over.
At this time, Jia Xu thought that the opportunity had come, and secretly asked Emperor Xian for a letter, saying: "Li Xu is insatiable, and now his soldiers are already discouraged, and he can use executives to lure him." ”
So the emperor issued an edict and named Li Xuan as the great Sima.
Li Xun felt very happy that he had been reused, but he did not thank the emperor, but attributed all this to the fact that he prayed to the gods every time, it was the witch who appeared, and everything was the credit of the witch, a fictional thing, but he did not reward his soldiers and generals.
This obviously broke out the contradiction completely, and Yang Feng, the commander of the cavalry, was furious and said to Song Guo: "We people have always been born and died with him, and we are more dedicated than our own brothers, but the credit is not as good as that of a witch, this is really a big joke." ”
Song Guo was also full of complaints, and said: "If this is the case, we don't need to talk about human feelings, why don't we kill this thief, there is still a lot of credit for rescuing the son." ”
The two almost hit it off on this matter, and said: "Then do it, you set fire to the army as an order, and I will take the soldiers to answer outside." ”
So the two further determined the time and made a move on the second watch in the evening.
But what I didn't expect was that things were not thorough, and someone got the news in advance and leaked the information to Li Xuan.
When Li Xuan found out, he was very angry and ordered someone to capture Song Guo first and kill him.
Yang Feng waited outside with the soldiers and horses as agreed, and there was no light, Li urged himself to come out with the soldiers and horses, and happened to meet Yang Feng, so the two of them fought in the village to the fourth watch, Yang Feng couldn't beat it, so he took the soldiers and horses to Xi'an.
Li Xuan also lost a lot in this civil war, and since then, the entire army began to decline, and Guo Yan often attacked with soldiers and horses, with more and more casualties and fewer and fewer people.
At this time, someone suddenly came to report, saying: "Zhang Ji led the army, came from Shaanxi, and wanted to be a mediator and make peace with him, claiming that if he didn't buy Zhang, then he would directly send troops to attack." ”
Li Xun thought about selling the other party's favor, and first sent someone to Zhang Ji's army to promise to reconcile. Guo Yan can only make a temporary promise and prepare for reconciliation.
So Zhang Ji went to the table and asked his son to go to Hongnong.
After Emperor Xian got this book, he was very happy and sighed: "I have been thinking about the east for a long time, but I am fortunate to be able to return it!" ”
So he immediately issued an edict to reward Zhang Ji as a hussar general, and Zhang Ji also offered some food and meat to supply hundreds of officials.
According to his words and regulations, Guo Yan released all the imprisoned ministers, and Li Xun also packed up his car and drove to the east, sending back the original hundreds of imperial forest soldiers and escorting them with iron halberds.
After Xinfeng, to the place of Baling, it happened to be autumn, suddenly there was a strong wind, the wind was loud, hundreds of soldiers came to the bridge to stop the car of the son, Emperor Xian scolded sharply: "What are you all doing? ”
Yang Qi hurriedly walked to the front and shouted to the soldiers on the bridge: "The frame of the child passes here, who dares to stop it?" Is it dead? ”
