Zhou Wei put down the wine cup, looked at Liu Xiong and said, "If the general doesn't want to sit still, he can only strike first!" ”

Liu Xiong frowned, and hurriedly shook his head: "Sir, don't laugh, I heard that this Qin Feng is strong in martial arts, Liu is only afraid that he is not his opponent, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Liu has more than 1,000 people, how to attack him?" ”

Zhou Wei got up and arched his hand in the northwest direction: "Not only the general is dissatisfied with Qin Fengzheng, but there are also many heroes like the general who are also unwilling to be oppressed by it, now there is Xiliang Ma Teng leading the army to attack, Qin Feng has led an army of 20,000 to meet the battle, the general can form an alliance with other heroes, and after some planning, break through Chang'an, cut off the back road of Qin Feng's army, no matter how brave Qin Feng is, he will definitely be defeated!" ”

Liu Xiong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he got up and asked eagerly: "This matter is serious!" ”

"It's true!"

"Who are you doing together?"

"Among the next friends, someone has already contacted Duan Xuan, the Taishou of Beidi, Wang Cheng, the commander of Meiyang, and the guards of the surrounding cities and passes of Chang'an, and agreed to lead the army to join forces in Chiyang, north of Weishui, after seven days, and can get 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then have their own people in the city to cooperate, only when our army attacks the city, there are people in the city who should cooperate with each other, and they will definitely be able to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Qi smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "This time, there is an envoy sent by the imperial court to sit in the town and dispatch from it, just wait for Chang'an to be captured, the general and the envoy are close and close, and the general, the general, will be able to rise one more level!" ”

Liu Xiong looked longing and slapped the table: "Sir, this matter is my share!" ”

Beidi County, Niyang, Taishoufu.

Duan Xuan has served as a taishou in Beidi County for several years, when the emperor moved east from Chang'an, Duan Xuan was still stationed in Huayin at that time, after the emperor canonized the general Yang Ding and Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others escorted the imperial car east to Luoyang on the way, because Yang Ding and Duan Xuan disagreed, led troops to attack Duan Xuan's camp, at that time Jia Xu was still in Duan Xuan's military camp.

Yang Ding, Yang Feng's army could not be attacked for a long time, Guo Yan, Li Daoren, etc. led the army to help, Yang Ding, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others were defeated, and the death of hundreds of officials and palace people was countless, and finally it was really forced to have no choice, Dong Cheng could only send people to pretend to make peace with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and secretly sent people to He Dong to contact the Baibo Army and the Southern Xiongnu Youxian King Qubei and others, and got thousands of cavalry to defeat Li Dao Guo Yan and others.

The imperial court considered that Duan Xuan was born in the Xiliang Army, and that the emperor had fought several battles with the courtiers during the eastward migration, so he ordered Duan Xuan to lead the army to withdraw from Huayin and go to Beidi County to serve as Taishou.

Compared with Huayin, Beidi County is much more desolate, and Huayin is on the only way to Guanzhong in the east of the Guandong, if Duan Xuan is allowed to occupy it for a long time, it is obviously not in Cao Cao's interests, but at that time, Cao Cao was unable to wave his troops to the west to attack, so he could only use this method to transfer Duan Xuan to Beidi County.

"General, there is an envoy from the imperial court!"

Duan Xuan was drinking with several generals in the barracks when a sergeant came to report.

"Oh? Who did the imperial court send as an envoy? Duan Xuan asked.

The sergeant said, "The person who came refused to reveal his name, only said that the general would know if he had seen it!" ”

Duan Xuan thought about it for a while and asked the generals to continue eating and drinking, while he himself rushed back to the Taishou Mansion.

"The emissary's name?" After Duan Xuan returned to the Taishou Mansion, he didn't know Cheng Lihou when he saw him.

Cheng Li said: "Shangshu and Dongzhonglang General Cheng Li have seen General Zhenyuan!" ”

Duan Xuan saw that Cheng Li did not read out the emperor's will, so he was not polite, even if there was the emperor's will, he would not be too polite, these years warlords are used to it, where will they care about the court etiquette, the court sent a messenger, and it is already very face-saving for a warlord like Duan Xuan to meet him.

"Take your seat, messenger!"

"Thank you, General!"

Waiting for the maid to bring the tea, Duan Xuan asked, "Why did the envoy come to Beidi County?" ”

Cheng Li was very unhappy, how to say that he was also an envoy of the imperial court, representing the imperial court and Cao Cao, this simmer didn't take him seriously.

Cheng Li could only endure his dissatisfaction and said: "I was entrusted by the imperial court to come to the capital to supervise the generals of Guanzhong to crusade against Qin Feng, and ask General Duan to take the lead in cooperating, so that the other generals in Guanzhong will obey the command like the general!" ”

When Duan Xuan heard this, he was not afraid of Qin Feng, the imperial court asked him to fight, and he just fought, but this time it was different.

"Is the messenger joking? There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, even if the imperial court can gather 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, as long as Qin Feng strictly guards the city, we will be helpless! Duan Xuan shook his head and said.

Cheng Li smiled, "General Duan is afraid that he doesn't know that Ma Teng has raised 50,000 troops and is coming to Chang'an, Qin Feng personally led 20,000 troops to Chencang in order to block Ma Teng's army from Sanfu, and now there are only 10,000 defenders in Chang'an City!" This time to defeat Qin Feng, I don't know that there is a general who has sent troops, and there are other generals in Guanzhong, all of whom have sent troops! ”

Duan Xuan was a little surprised when he heard it, and said in his heart that the imperial court had a big move this time, and last time it was Pei Mao who came to supervise the battle, defeated Li Dao, and chased him to Huangbaicheng to kill him.

This time, they actually sent troops together to fight Qin Feng?

Duan Xuan was about to consider whether to agree to send troops, but when he remembered something, he asked, "Who is in charge of Chang'an City now?" ”

"In government affairs, it is Zuo Ling, and in military affairs, it is Jia Xu, why does the general ask this?"

When Duan Xuan heard this, he immediately shouted: "Someone, send off!" ”

When Cheng Li heard this, he was a little inexplicable, and hurriedly asked, "General Duan, why is this?" ”

Duan Xuan waved his hand: "Now that our army is short of food and grass, and there is insufficient ordnance, we really can't send troops, envoy, please!" ”

Two small servants walked in outside the door, "I'll wait to send off the guests!" ”

Cheng Li saw that Duan Xuan was silent, so he had no choice but to leave.

When he returned to Chiyang to join up with Chong Kun, Zhou Wei, Wang Ling and others, he learned that Wang Ling had successfully persuaded Wang Cheng, Zhou Wei had also persuaded Liu Xiong, and some other scholars had completed their respective tasks, and respectively persuaded their responsible Guan Pass and Chengchi Shou to meet in Chiyang on the agreed August 12.

He was the only one who didn't complete the set task, which also blamed him for his bad luck not to convince others, but rushed to persuade Duan Xuan.

In fact, he didn't know that the reason why Duan Xuan didn't agree to send troops was because he was afraid of Jia Xu, Jia Xu was in Chang'an, and he didn't dare to send troops to fight with these people if he was given ten guts.

Who is Jia Wenhe? wants to snatch Chang'an from Jia Wenhe, but I'm afraid that not only will this matter not be done, but it is really not worth losing his life, Jia Wenhe is so vicious that even God is afraid.

After days of investigation, Lu Sheng's spies and ears and eyes tracked down Chong Kun, Wang Ling, Zhou Kui and others.

Knowing that these people planned to start an incident three days later, Lu Sheng immediately went to see Jia Xu.

"Military advisor, specific personnel have been found, including Chong Kun, Wang Ling, Zhou Kui and others, and the imperial court also secretly sent an envoy to dispatch in the middle, this person's surname is Cheng Mingli!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he was surprised: "Cheng Li? ”

"That's right, it's called Cheng Li!"

Jia Xu said: "Cheng Li is the original name of this person, and now he is called Cheng Yu, and he is a capable cadre under Cao Cao, which should not be underestimated!" ”
