Chapter 81: The Wicked Man

Zhang Liao looked at the young man in front of him and was also full of emotion.

What a wonderful fate!

When he first met Ding Chen two years ago, he was in a hostile state; Two years later, they were rivals again.

"Ziyang, since you've already left, why do you want to stay here?"

Zhang Liao hugged and asked in a deep voice.

Hugging is also a kind of etiquette on the battlefield.

In this posture, I show my opponent that I have no intention of fighting you.

Ding Chen naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Liao's hug, so he also put Da Zhen in the crook of his arm.

"General Wenyuan, are you here to arrest me?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "I just got the news that Hutu and everyone was attacked, and Hu Chi'er was killed, so I rushed to check."

Hu Chi'er has now taken refuge in Wen Hou, and is willing to match Wen Hou and persuade his people to support Wen Hou. He was killed, so I couldn't afford to take it lightly, so I came over to check it out. I never thought that I would meet Ziyang here. ”

"I'm looking for someone."

"Oh?"

"Cai Yan, the daughter of Gong Cai, may have been abducted by Hugh Tu."

"Is there such a thing?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, his brows frowned.

Although he is Lu Bu's subordinate, he admires Cai Yong very much.

He immediately turned around and said sharply, "Hao Zhao." ”

"Yes."

"Go and ask those Hugh Tu people what the hell is going on...... After asking, clean your hands and feet. ”

"Whoa!"

A young man named Hao Zhao bowed down to receive the order and returned to the army.

Ding Chen looked at Zhang Liao in surprise, feeling puzzled in his heart.

Zhang Liao just said, he heard it. In fact, Zhang Liao didn't want to hide it from him.

The meaning of Zhang Liao's last sentence was very clear to Ding Chen, that is, to dispose of those people who were slaughtered. It's just that he doesn't understand, why did Zhang Liao do this? Listening to what he said just now, it seemed that Lu Bu attached great importance to Hugh Tu and everyone.

"Qianghu is greedy and has no faith.

At the beginning, the prime minister could buy it, and now Wen Hou can also buy it, who knows in the future, will it be bought by others? I have never had a good impression of Hutu and others, but Wen Hou and Situ both want to win them over, and I can't stop them. ”

Zhang Liao's words made Ding Chen feel very admired.

He doesn't like Hu people either!

In fact, when they were in Luoyang, although the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army had loose military discipline, they could at least be controlled. But those Hu riders are unscrupulous and rampant. Concealing Dong Zhuo's repeated raids around Luoyang, causing great damage.

The Liangzhou army was also greatly affected by this and was often cursed.

At that time, the situation was unstable.

There is intrigue in the court, and there is an army of princes approaching outside.

Dong Zhuo also relied on Hu Qi a lot, so they had to tolerate it for the time being.

It may be that after arriving in Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo saw that the situation was gradually stabilizing, so he began to rectify Hu Qi. It was precisely because of this that Hu Qi was dissatisfied, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu were bribed, so it was very easy for them to choose to mutiny.

"General, you should know Lu Bu's tiger and wolf habits, although he is brave and good at fighting, it is difficult to achieve great things.

Now, although you have killed the prime minister, you have defeated the Liangzhou army. But you should understand that the Liangzhou army has not yet been defeated, and its real elite is assembled outside. Once they come to their senses, they will inevitably fight back...... It is close to Liangzhou, and it is the foundation of the Liangzhou army. Although the Bingzhou army is good at fighting, it is by no means easy to resist the Liangzhou army. ”

Liangzhou, adjacent to Guanzhong, has a very close relationship.

Compared with the merger of states, the conscription and deployment of troops and horses from Liangzhou to Chang'an only lasted three or five days.

But if soldiers and horses are recruited from Bingzhou, not to mention whether Lu Bu has enough prestige in Bingzhou, even if he does, it is impossible to arrive soon.

There was a hint of bitterness in Zhang Liao's eyes.

He hesitated, looked at Ding Chen and said softly: "Situ is my fellow villager, and Wen Hou and I have the grace to save my life." ”

With only these two sentences, Ding Chen was speechless.

At this time, Hao Zhao had already returned.

He came to Zhang Liao's side, whispered for a while, then glanced at Ding Chen again, and then turned and retreated.

Zhang Liao frowned, urged the horse to take two steps forward, and said softly: "According to those Hugh Tu people, Hu Chi'er led people to run rampant in the field today, and he did kidnap a woman. There were several guards around the woman, and Hu Chi'er seemed to recognize each other...... However, they don't know if that woman is the Cai Niangzi that Ziyang said. ”

"That's her!"

Ding Chen heard this and replied without thinking.

Guarding is only one of Cai Yan's reasons, and the most important thing is that Ding Chen knows that Hu Chi'er does recognize Cai Yan.

When he was at the revolving gate, Hu Chi'er was injured by Ding Chen with an arrow because he wanted to tease Cai Yan.

At that time, Ding Chen had just rescued Lu Bu in Shilipu, and Lu Bu was naturally grateful to him, so he came forward to punish Hu Chi'er. It seems to have hit a hundred back flowers! Ding Chen remembered that at that time, Hu Chi'er was beaten to the point that he almost lost half of his life.

Perhaps because of this reason, Hu Chi'er's impression of Cai Yan must be very profound.

"General, where is Cai Niangzi now?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Hugh Tu people said that at that time, Hu Chi'er took Cai Niangzi captive and prepared to take her back to the camp. I didn't want Cai Niangzi's quiet woman, but she had a sharp knife in her hand, and after killing Hu Chi'er, she was taken off the horse.

They originally planned to kill Cai Niangzi to avenge Hu Chi'er, but who would have thought that two men in black would fall from the sky and save Cai Niangzi. The two men in black were very fierce and skilled in swordsmanship, and they were so frightened that they scattered and fled......"

"In other words, Cai Niangzi was rescued?"

"Exactly!"

"Does the general know where those two men in black come from?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Hugh Tu said that the weapon used by one of them did not seem to be the weapon of the Central Plains, so it was not easy to judge."

Ding Chen frowned, a little at a loss.

If you know who rescued Cai Yan, everything will be easy.

But the problem is that he doesn't know the identities of the two men in black, and only knows that the weapon used by one of them is not the weapon of the Central Plains.

Could it be the Hu people?

The more Ding Chen thought about it, the more he felt a headache.

"Ziyang!"

"Ah, the general has orders."

Zhang Liao hesitated, suddenly urged the horse to take two more steps forward, and stopped two or three steps away from Ding Chen.

"I heard that Wen Hou led his troops and is chasing your people."

"The one who is chasing me?"

Ding Chen was stunned and looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously.

Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and said softly: "Ziyang, don't think that you will cultivate the plank road in the open, and the plan of Chen Cang in the dark is clever."

You assembled at Baqiao, pretending to retreat to Hangu Pass, but in fact you were planning to cross the river from Fengling and enter Hanoi, Wen Hou already knew about it. ”

"What?"

Ding Chen was startled and looked at Zhang Liao with wide eyes.

He knew that Zhang Liao was not deceiving him.

Zhang Liao was able to explain their plan in detail, which showed that he really understood.

But the question is, who leaked the news?

"All my life, I have been trapped by the township party.

Back then, I was filial piety and won Ding Jianyang's conquest, on the surface he reused me, but in fact he wanted to use me to suppress Lu Bu. Wen Hou is in Wuyuan, and he has made outstanding contributions, but because of Ding Yuan's disgust, he has never been able to reuse, and I often feel guilty.

Later, Ding Yuan died, and I was almost killed by the prime minister, and it was Lu Bu who interceded for me.

After that, Wang Yun contacted me privately and persuaded me to help with the feelings of the township party, so that I could not refuse...... Sometimes, the power of the township party is really strong. It's hard to resist not only me, but everyone else. Ziyang, be careful. ”

Zhang Liao's brainless words made Ding Chen stunned.

However, before he could react, Zhang Liao had already turned his horse's head and returned to his own formation.

"This is an old man in an army, not an enemy.

Let's go, let's continue to investigate, and we must find the murderer who killed Hu Chi'er. ”

The ironclad cavalry shouted in unison and turned around.

Zhang Liao walked a few steps, reined in the horse, turned around and glanced at Ding Chen, and hugged his hand, "Ziyang, take care!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At dawn, it was still dark.

The dark clouds drifting from the direction of the Qinling Mountains were thick and dense, covering the sky and obscuring the morning light.

A group of cavalry marched along the official road towards Yongxian County at a gallop.

Outside Yongxian County, in the Liangzhou military camp, flags were displayed.

The cavalry stopped outside the gate, and the first general said sharply: "I am Guo Yan, General Li Dao is here?" ”

"General Guo, you're finally here, please!"

The colonel ran out of the gate and said, "The lord will wait here for a long time at the end of the day, and he is discussing with Mr. Jia in the big tent. ”

"Mr. Jia? Which Mr. Jia? ”

"It's the prime minister's master bookkeeper, Mr. Jia Xu.

He came on the orders of General Zhang Ji to give advice to the lord. ”

"It's Zhang Ji's people!"

Guo Yan nodded, then dismounted and followed the little colonel, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, the big tent was brightly lit.

Li Dao's eyes were red and bloodshot.

It can be seen that he has not slept all night, and his expression is tired.

On the side, Jia Xu stood with his hands in his hands.

After Guo Yan entered the big tent, he said loudly: "Lao Li, is the prime minister really dead?" ”

Li Dao looked up and saw Guo Yan coming in, and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Guo Aduo, croaking.

This is the barracks, what are you shouting? ”

"The fart barracks, the prime minister is dead, and we will be like ownerless and lonely souls.

Tell me, what happened in Chang'an, why did the prime minister die? ”

Li Wei rubbed his face vigorously, and then said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I'm a little tired, so please tell this Guo Aduo." ”

"Obey the general's orders."

Jia Xu saluted respectfully, and then said to Guo Yan: "The night before, General Zhang got the news that Lu Bu colluded with Wang Yun and the party members in Chang'an City to rebel, and persuaded the former general Xu Rong to surrender. They kidnapped the Son of Heaven, killed the prime minister, and chased and killed my Liangzhou people everywhere. As far as I know, the people who have been killed now include the generals Wei Yue, Li Meng, and Changshi Liu Ai......

Zhonglang will Li Ru, escape from Chang'an, and now he is missing.

The family members under the city, up to Huayangjun, down to Li Zhen, the grandson of the prime minister, a total of 83 people, all of whom were spared, died at the hands of the chaotic party. ”

Guo Yan heard this and gasped.

"These chaotic parties are really ruthless."

"General Zhang sensed that Wang Yun would not let us go, and was likely to attack us in Liangzhou, so he ordered me to come and discuss with the two generals.

It's a pity that General Niu Fu is too timid.

After the riots, he fled with his entourage and was killed on the way......"

"I said a long time ago, Niu Dafang has its appearance, if it is not a good face, how can he be a general?"

"Guo Yan, at this time, don't complain."

Li Wei frowned, and said loudly: "Now we have to come up with a countermeasure, otherwise Niu Fu will be a lesson for us." ”

"However, the Bingzhou army is strong and strong, and Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting.

You and I, even if we add Zhang Ji's department, it is only 50,000 horses, how can it be that Lu Bu is the opponent? ”

"What then, run away?"

"This ......"

Guo Yan was speechless and sat down on the side.

"What then?"

Li Dao ignored him, but looked at Jia Xu.

"Mr. Wenhe, since you came to us, there must be a way, right?"

Jia Xu's thin cheeks twitched slightly, and a touch of ruthlessness immediately appeared in his eyes.

"General Guo doesn't have to pay too much attention to Na Lu Bu, in my opinion, the Hezhou army seems to be strong, but it is not invincible.

What's more, we don't just have 50,000 horses. ”

"Oh?"

"The two generals should not forget that before Guanzhong, there were a total of 150,000 Liangzhou troops. Although it is now in a rout, and it is not a rabble. It was only because of the suddenness of the incident and the lack of a leader that the army scattered and fled. Both generals were brave and good at fighting, and they were quite prestigious in the army. I believe that as long as the two generals stand up, wave their arms, and play the banner of avenging the prime minister, they can gather the Liangzhou army in one place. When the time comes, 100,000 troops will come to the city, and the rebellious party will be defeated......

Besides, the two generals should not forget that whether Jincheng is too protective of Han Sui, or Wuwei is too protective of Ma Teng, they are both from Liangzhou. ”

"What do you mean......"

"If the two generals don't dislike it, they are willing to go and lobby to persuade Han Sui Ma Teng to surrender."

When Li Dao Guo heard this, he couldn't help but look at each other.

I have to say that Jia Xu's strategy is very good.

Ma Teng and Han Sui combined, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under them.

Moreover, Han Sui's soldiers are strong and strong, and his son-in-law Yan Xing is brave and good at fighting; Ma Teng is also a fierce general, and his son Ma Chao, although he is only fifteen years old, is also extremely brave. Guo Yan had fought with Ma Teng, so he naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Ma Jiajun.

If the two of them help each other, they will be like a tiger with wings.

"But how are the two of them willing to help me?"

Li Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Han Sui and Ma Teng, they are all princes of one side, although we follow the prime minister, but our position is lower than the two." ”

"General, don't you forget that Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze raised soldiers back then, and once said that princes and generals would rather have a kind of?

Since ancient times, it is not the heroes who create the times, but the times that create heroes...... In the city of Chang'an, there is the son of Han Tianzi. If the general enters Chang'an City, he will be the hero of the rescue. When the time comes, don't say that it is the two Taishou, that is, the princes of the world, all of whom must obey the general's dispatch. ”

When Li Dao Guo Yan heard this, he gasped together.

They are not stupid people, how can they not hear the meaning of Jia Xu's words?

I think that at the beginning, Dong Zhuo was just a thorn in Liangzhou.

But after entering Luoyang, he became under one person and above tens of thousands of people.

Jia Xu clearly told them that they could follow Dong Zhuo's example and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to ...... Li Dao and Guo Yan are not the kind of people with a very background, but in their hearts, they are also ambitious. Therefore, before Li Dao, when he learned that the Han Emperor was going to marry Princess Hongnong to him, he would be so excited. Not for anything else, just to be able to be like Dong Zhuo, wake up the killing sword, and get drunk and lie on the knees of beauties.

It is not the heroes who create the times, but the times that make heroes!

Now the chaos in Guanzhong seems dangerous, but for these people, isn't it the best opportunity?

After the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but feel excited.

"Sir's plan is really clever.

However, Mr. was sent by General Zhang, so is General Zhang ......?"

"The two generals rest assured, my generals have long been tired of the bitter cold land of Liangzhou.

If he can attack Chang'an, my general only wants to get a piece of land, and nothing else. He wants to go to Nanyang, but he also needs the consent of the two generals. ”

Zhang Ji doesn't want to stay in Guanzhong?

That's it!

Li Dao stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, the prime minister treats us with kindness, and today we were harmed by the chaotic party, how can we stand idly by." Guo Yan, I have decided to raise troops to fight against the rebellious party, but I don't know, what do you think? ”

Guo Yan said: "You Li Wei received the prime minister's great favor, and I, Guo Yan, did not receive the prime minister's favor?"

Hugh is verbose, I will recall the soldiers and horses, you and I will join forces together to crusade against the rebellious party...... When the time comes, see who will attack Chang'an first. ”

The two looked at each other as they spoke.

From each other's eyes, they all saw an inexplicable fanaticism.

Jia Xu secretly let out a sigh, he closed his eyes, but he was silently muttering in his heart: Ziyang, I hope you can get out of danger safely!
