Chapter 256: Fall
Koji Yi looked at the war horse galloping in the distance, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
It didn't take long for the scouts who came at a gallop to get closer, and when they saw Lu Yi turn over and dismount, they said loudly: "Report to the lord, Tancheng urgently report, saying that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness!" ”
"What?"
Lu Yi's eyes suddenly opened when he heard Tao Qian's death, although he knew that his health was getting worse, but he thought that he could hold on until he arrived, and he didn't want to be a step too late.
Lu Yi can't talk about Tao Qian's feelings very deeply, after all, he has only been in contact with a few times, but no matter what, he is also his own father-in-law, and there is always some sadness emotionally.
There is another point of concern for Li Yi, now that Tao Qian has died, I don't know if he has explained to Xuzhou before his death, and now it is at a critical moment, if something happens to the accident, it may affect the overall situation.
On the side, Guo Jia seemed to see that Lu Yi was worried, and persuaded him: "Don't worry, although the Taofu Junxian has passed away, it is the general trend for the lord to take over Xuzhou, not to mention that there is Zhang He in Tancheng and Xu Sheng outside the city, all of which are stationed with heavy troops, and Chen Deng Mizhu is there, and there is no possibility of turmoil." ”
Lu Yi nodded and his heart was a little wider, Guo Jia was right, he left Zhang Hetun in Tancheng at the beginning, one was to guard against Lu Bu, and then to deal with some emergencies, such as today's situation.
And with Cao Bao going to Xiapi, both inside and outside Tancheng are their own army, even if someone wants to fish in the water, they will not succeed.
Although Tancheng is safe for the time being, but it is inevitable that the night is long and dreamy, Lu Yi and Guo Jia discussed, and decided that Guo Jia would lead the army to move slowly, and he and Zhao Yuntong cavalry would go to Tancheng first to meet Zhang He and others.
In this expedition, Koji Yi brought all 10,000 cavalry, although a small part of them were new recruits, and their strength was slightly lacking, but it was enough to increase their momentum.
Lu Yi and Zhao Yun led the cavalry all the way and had already arrived at Delangya.
Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya, heard about the crossing of the border with Liyi, and hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, and when he saw Liyi, he smiled and said: "The lower official Xiao Jiantian is the minister of Langya, and he has seen General Koji!" ”
Lu Yi has some impressions of Xiao Jian, and it seems that this person surrendered to Lu Bu in history, but the final outcome is not very clear, but I don't know if the two have made contact at this time.
Lu Yi looked at Xiao Jian's respectful appearance, nodded slightly and replied: "I have admired Xiao Xiang's name for a long time, and I have admired it for a long time!" ”
Xiao Jian listened to Liyi's reply, his heart was happy, and he replied: "I heard that Yuan Shubing sent Xuzhou, and the officials were not talented, and they were willing to do their best to ask for it.
Today, the general passed by Langya, with the general's prestige and the relationship with the prince, it is enough to make a decision on his behalf, I am willing to lead the headquarters to help, I don't know if the general will allow it? ”
After listening to this, Lu Yi looked Xiao Jian up and down, and his favorability increased slightly, it seemed that he did not have an affair with Lu Bu, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiangzhen is a righteous person, admire and admire, I have no right to interfere in the affairs of Xuzhou."
However, now that the situation is critical, it is the time to employ people, everything should be done cheaply, so you can quickly go to the army, and then go to Tancheng with me to make arrangements. ”
Xiao Jian was overjoyed when he heard that Koji Yi agreed, and hurriedly thanked him before returning to the city to prepare.
How did Lu Yi know that Xiao Jian's real idea was to take the opportunity to lead the troops to Lu Bu.
Now it is a foregone conclusion that Lu Yi will enter Xuzhou, and Xiao Jian admires Lu Bu very much and devotes himself to it, so it is meaningless for him to stick to Langya.
Lu Yi only rested in Langya for a while, and when Xiao Jian's army and horses were tidied up, he set off again.
Langya only had 3,000 soldiers, most of whom were infantry, and Lu Yi saw that his movements were slow and difficult to speed up, so he ordered Xiao Jian to come later, and he still went first.
Who knew that such an arrangement was in Xiao Jian's arms, and he promised with a smile.
Xiao Jian just needs a justifiable reason to leave Langya, and now that the reason is there, Lu Yi is going first alone, it's really God's help!
Lu Yi didn't know what Xiao Jian was thinking, and he and Zhao Yun led the army straight to Tancheng.
Thousands of horses galloping, momentum like a rainbow, along the way people saw the "koji" word battle flag fluttering in the army, have put down their work, or stop to pay attention to salute.
The gratitude of the people of Xuzhou to Koji Yi is from the heart, and in the hearts of the people, as long as there is something in Xuzhou, Koji Yi will not avoid the sword and come to help.
Now that the news of Yuan Shubing's siege of Pi has already spread, the people who originally heard the news were panicked, but when they saw Lu Yi personally leading the army to help, their worried hearts finally slowly fell.
After several days of marching, Koji finally arrived at Tancheng.
Outside the city gate, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Wang Lang, Zhao Yu and other civil and military forces all stood around to welcome Kojiyi.
And Zhang He, Pan Zhang, and Guan Cheng were also in the ranks, looking at the dusty cavalry in the distance, their faces showing excitement.
Because of Tao Qian's new funeral, no matter the people in front of him or the soldiers in the city, everyone has filial piety.
Koji Yi first ordered Zhao Yun to bring the cavalry into the large camp that Xu Sheng had already built to rest, while he walked towards the city gate under the protection of Koji Yan Guan Hai and five hundred personal soldiers.
Koji Yi turned over and dismounted before he got close, and everyone hurried to catch up.
At this time, Chen Deng no longer concealed it, and directly stepped forward to worship: "Xuzhou suffered a catastrophe, Tao Fujun worked day and night to cause old diseases, and died suddenly, and everyone in Xuzhou was grief-stricken.
Now Yuan Shu besieged Pi is very urgent, although we have the heart of reinforcements, but the group of dragons has no leader, the order is not even, fortunately the general arrived in time, in order to serve the public, it is the luck of Xuzhou! ”
After listening to Chen Deng's words, Lu Yi finally let go of a hanging heart.
Chen Deng was ostensibly narrating Tao Qian's affairs, but he was implying that everything was fine in Tancheng, and it was very likely that everyone had received some kind of entrustment from Tao Qian.
Otherwise, Chen Deng would never have said words to convince the public and be fortunate in Xuzhou.
Lu Yi's mind turned sharply, and he suddenly cried loudly: "I received the news from Xuzhou, I didn't dare to delay, and immediately led the light horse to come, I didn't want to hurry up, and I haven't seen the last side of my father-in-law."
The earnest teachings of the father-in-law are still in my ears, as if yesterday, why did you abandon me so urgently?
Remembrance, woo and mourn, kill me! ”
After speaking, he beat his chest with his hands and raised his head to the sky and wailed.
When everyone saw that Koji was so affectionate, they were all filled with emotion, and they hid their faces and wept, becoming more and more sad.
For a time, the sound of crying outside the gate of Tancheng came one after another, especially the voice of Koji Yi was the loudest and sad.
Everyone was afraid that Koji Yi would be too sad, so they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other, and it took several times to stop.
On the side, Wang Lang originally disagreed with Tao Qian's letting Xuzhou and Liyi, but through what happened just now, he was suddenly ashamed of his thoughts.
You must know that Tao Qian passed away, and although the two sons under his knees also cried sadly, their grief was as righteous as heaven and earth.
Everyone flocked to Koji Yi into the city, wanting to let Koji rest for a while, but Koji Yi insisted on going to worship Tao Qian first.
The evaluation of Koji Yoshiki in everyone's hearts has increased again.
In the mourning hall, Tao Qian's coffin is parked in the middle for people to mourn.
Koji Yi looked at the coffin in front of him, his face was full of sadness, he took two quick steps and fell on top of the coffin, and howled again!
