Chapter 290: After the Gate

When Yuan Xie made up his mind and was ready to rely on his own strength to fight against the rebels in Liangzhou, not to alarm Yuan Qi, and to let him fight against Yuan Ding in Hebei with peace of mind, Yuan Qi unexpectedly rushed to the capital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Li Dao and others attacked Chang'an on a large scale, the Qianlong members received the information and hurriedly passed the explosive news to Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi was extremely shocked in his heart, but he never expected that Yuan Ding would collude with Dong Meng's old ministry to blatantly rebel. Yuan Qi then remembered Zhuge Liang's words, Zhuge Liang had said that killing Yuan Xi was harmful and unprofitable, and now he really said it. Yuan Qi's heart was full of remorse, the long-term victory made Yuan Qi, who had always been calm, a little fluttering, and looked down on Yuan Ding, so he unscrupulously killed Yuan Xi on the spot, and now, Yuan Qi has to pay for his pride.

Once Chang'an falls, the capital is in a precarious situation, and it may be broken by the Liangzhou rebels at any time. The city of the capital is broken, and Yuan Xie is bound to not be spared, and Li Dao and Guo Yan are very likely to even save Huairou's means and directly behead Yuan Xie. As soon as Yuan Xie dies, half of the country that Yuan Qi has worked so hard to build will fall back into turmoil, which is unacceptable to Yuan Qi. Therefore, the Yuan starting point returned to the army in 10,000 days and returned to the army in 10,000 places, together with Zhao Hu, Ma Yue, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zuo Ci, Zhang Long, six generals, as well as Jia Yuan and Xu Shu, two strategists, rushed to the capital in the starry night. As for the war in Hebei, Yuan Qi was given full authority to Zhuge Liang to be responsible, with the military generals led by Qi Tian and Zhang Zong, and the strategists led by Chen Gong and Tian Feng, with Zhang Chong and Xu blocking on the left and right wings, stationed in the river to resist Yuan Ding. Don't seek to defeat Yuan Ding, but to drag Yuan Ding as much as possible before solving the Liangzhou rebels.

So. When Yuan Xie woke up the next morning, he found that Yuan Qi had appeared in front of his eyes at some point. Standing behind Yuan was Wang Mi, the chief commander of the Yuan Association's Imperial Forest Army. Wang Mi could not and would not prevent Yuan Qi from entering Yuan Xie's bedroom, but where his duty was, Wang Mi still symbolically followed Yuan Qi's side.

"Every time I encounter difficulties, the imperial brother will appear in front of me in such a timely manner. But the war in Hebei is tight, and the imperial brother is here, so what should I do in Hebei?" Yuan Xie smiled and said to Yuan Qi. Seeing Yuan Xie wake up, Wang Mi quietly withdrew from the dormitory. Now, there is no need for him to guard it.

Yuan Qi shook his head and smiled, then walked to the side of the dragon bed, reached out and took the dragon robe, and draped it on Yuan Xie's body. A big hand buckled on the top of Yuan Xie's head and comforted Yuan Xie: "Don't worry." There will be no problems on the Hebei side for the time being. Our most important thing right now. It was to defeat the Liangzhou rebels. ”

Feeling the temperature coming from Yuan Qi's palm, Yuan Xie's heart was also warmed. Since being really supported by Yuan Qi and getting rid of the situation of being regarded as a puppet by Dong Meng, Yuan Xie has become more and more aware that there is no one around him who can confide in his heart, this may be the loneliness of the high place, no wonder Yuan Qi is so reluctant to be the son of heaven. But he must leave the throne to himself, Yuan Xie thought.

Yuan Xie was just about to say something, when an angry roar suddenly came from outside the dormitory: "Get out of the way! Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the palace. The person who spoke before shouted in an almost angry voice: "A certain father has been loyal to the country, and such and such must avenge his father!"

Yuan Xie looked at Yuan Qi with inquiring eyes, he knew that the person who yelled and shouted must have been brought by Yuan Qi, and in the capital, no one would dare to despise Yuan Xie's prestige. Yuan Qi sighed and explained: "It's the son of General Ma and the sworn brother of a certain person, Ma Yue." He must have learned the news of General Ma's death and wanted to take revenge. ”

"It turned out to be Ma Aiqing's son, and before Ma Aiqing died, I promised him to take good care of his son." When Yuan Xie heard that it was Ma Teng's son Ma Yue, a slight unhappiness in his heart disappeared in an instant.

After a while, Yuan Qi took Ma Yue into the dormitory, Ma Yue's lion helmet and brute armor, jade belt around his waist, and his eyes were like stars. If there was no filial piety belt on Ma Yue's helmet and waist, Yuan Xie would almost have been able to praise Ma Yue a few words, and the charm of Xiliang Jin Ma Yue was not blown out of his mouth.

Kneeling heavily on the ground, Ma Yue didn't speak, his face was already full of tears, and he choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's father was loyal to the country and died a well-deserved death." However, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, since the minister followed the second brother's side, he has not seen his father for five years, who would have expected that heaven and man will be separated forever! Please ask Your Majesty to lead the army to avenge your father!"

Yuan Xie was just about to speak, but another roar sounded outside the dormitory, interrupting Yuan Xie's words: "A certain person wants to face the saint! A certain person wants to ask for his life to go on an expedition!" Yuan Xie looked at Yuan Qi helplessly again, not knowing who was yelling. Yuan Qi was also quite distressed, and explained helplessly: "It's the nephew of General Zhang of Chang'an, Zhang Long." ”

Before long, Wang Mi walked in with Zhang Long. Zhang Long knelt beside Ma Yue, and said with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, the minister's uncle is trapped in Chang'an, and there are many auspicious ones. ”

Wang Mi, who walked in with Zhang Long, suddenly darkened the expression on his face, then walked to Yuan Xie's side, handed Yuan Xie a battle report from his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "This is the news that Zhong Taifu just got, Chang'an has fallen, General Zhang ...... He has been martyred. ”

Although Wang Mi's voice was low, the few people present were all great experts in martial arts, except for Yuan Xie, and Wang Mi's words were naturally heard by several other people. Zhang Long knelt on the ground in despair, and after a long time, he suddenly screamed, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted to the ground. Ma Yue, who was kneeling with Zhang Long, hurriedly supported Zhang Long's body, pinched his middle force hard, and called in a low voice: "Zhang Long, wake up!"

Looking at the red blood stains left by Zhang Long on the ground, Yuan Xie sighed: "It's all after the martyrs." ”

Yuan Qi said to Ma Yue: "Ma Yue, you take Zhang Long down to take care of him first, and discuss the matter of entering the army carefully with Shengshang." Ma Yue agreed, picked up Zhang Long and walked outside the palace, and when he walked to the door, Ma Yue suddenly turned around and said: "In any case, the position of pioneer can only be chosen between the minister and Zhang Long, and the blood is deep, and it must be avenged!"

After Ma Yue left, Yuan Qi sighed and whispered to Yuan Xie: "This time I only brought 20,000 horses, plus the soldiers in the capital, we have no ability to fight with the rebels in the field, so we can only hold on to the city." Yuan Xie silently calculated in his heart, the elite soldiers directly in his hands were only 15,000 people, and then counting the defenders in the capital city and the county soldiers in the nearby counties, it was less than 50,000, counting the 20,000 elite soldiers in Yuan Qi, there were only 70,000 people, far from the opponent of the 200,000 rebels such as Li Dao. Therefore, Yuan Xie nodded and said to Yuan Qi: "Everything depends on the imperial brother, and the grain, grass, soldiers and horses in the city are all under the deployment of the imperial brother." ”

Guandu, in the camp of the Unomiya army. Ugong Terulie frowned and looked at the battle report in front of him, and said worriedly: "Yuan Ding's move is ruthless enough, even if he is ruined, he will also set off this monstrous wave." Yuan Qi has already divided his troops to rescue the capital, and the containment of Yuan Ding has been greatly reduced, which is extremely unfavorable to our army. ”

Guo Jia stood up and arched his hand to Ugong Zhaolie and said: "My lord, although he is not a famous general, he is deeply versed in Tao strategy, and he can't hold on to the north bank of the Yellow River, and our army really has no way to do anything to him in the short term, and now it has lost the containment of Yuan Yuanqi in the north, and our army has lost its fighters here." It is better to leave a suspicious army in Guandu, and then personally lead the main force to Qingzhou in the east, and work with General Taihe to take half of Qingzhou in the hands of Yuan Ding. After Yuan Qi solved Li Dao and others and returned to the army, the lord rushed back to the Guandu camp and continued to attack Yuan Ding in the north and south with Yuan Yuanqi. ”

Listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Ugong Terulie, who was in a predicament, suddenly had a feeling of being opened, and the essence in his eyes flashed frequently, obviously thinking carefully about the feasibility of Guo Jia's suggestion. When the authorities were in a stalemate, and it couldn't be opened in a short period of time, it was also a good idea to turn the spearhead and take the other half of Qingzhou first, and then take Qingzhou entirely, thinking so in his heart, Ugong Zhaolie immediately made the decision to move to Qingzhou, leaving Yu Ban and others to set up suspicious soldiers in Guandu, to confuse the trial, and buy more time for the main army. At the same time, Ugong Terulie also sent a fast horse to inform the Taihe River, who was guarding Qingzhou, to prepare for the war. In order to be in order, Ugong Zhaolie also asked Li Dian to take his warrant to Xuzhou to mobilize people, and then rushed to Langya to join him.

A few days later, Ugong Terulie led the army all the way day and night, unknowingly evaded Yuan Jun's probe horses, and secretly came to Langya, and even frightened the Taihe River guarding Langya, he didn't expect Unomiya Terulie's march to be so fast. However, Ugong Zhaolie wanted to "fast", but not only the speed of the march, after arriving in Langya, Ugong Zhaolie ordered the whole army to rest for a night, in the early morning of the next day, Ugong Zhaolie took advantage of the fact that Yuan Jun did not know that he was leading the army to come, suddenly sent troops to attack half of Qingzhou in the hands of Yuan Ding, and captured eighteen counties in one day, Jinan, The two counties of Le'an, lightning-like attack, the entire Qingzhou, only one county in the plain is still under the control of Yuan Ding, so far, the situation in Qingzhou is gradually clear, in the trial of the match far away in Guandu, Yuan Ding confrontation between the river, Yuan Jun has no ability to keep the last county of Qingzhou.

After that, Ugong Terulie unexpectedly left Qingzhou, led the army back to Guandu, and only let Li Dian take the men and horses requisitioned from Xuzhou, obey the moderation of the Tai River, divide the troops in Qingzhou, form an encirclement of the plain county, and grant the Tai River the right to arbitrarily use troops to the plain at any time.
