When Zhao Yun and Wen Chou led the army to the gate, Ju Shou had already led Zhu Ling and other generals to greet them.
The two of them stepped forward and bowed, and without delay, handed the letter that Yuan Shao had written before leaving to Jushou, claiming that they would not open it until they saw Jushou.
Hearing this, Jushou knew that his lord must have something to tell him, so he did not dare to neglect it. He took the letter from Zhao Yun and read it carefully.
Sure enough, he had a task to do himself. The letter said that he would take over the command of the army as soon as Zhao Yunwen Chou's army arrived and be fully responsible for the task of retaking Chang'an, so he could do it cheaply. Jushou couldn't help but nodded to express his understanding. I don't need the master's orders, I know how to do it myself.
Zhao Yun didn't know what the letter said, but he couldn't help but nod his head when he saw it. It seems that there is an important task to be assigned to them, and they are eagerly looking forward to the Lord's command.
Jushou didn't keep them waiting for long. He finished reading the letter and as soon as he closed it, Jushou began to give orders.
"According to the instructions of the lord, from now on all Jizhou troops in Chang'an City will be under my full command. Those who disobey can stand up now, otherwise the general will issue an order later, and those who do not obey will be subject to military law."
After speaking, he stared at the generals with a scrutinizing gaze, waiting for their statements and reactions.
Knowing that it was the lord's order, and seeing Jushou scanning everyone, everyone did not dare to neglect, and said in unison.
"We obey orders and are willing to listen to the military advisor's orders, even if we die!"
Seeing that all the generals were following orders and listening respectfully to the command, Jushou nodded with satisfaction and ordered.
"Order Zhu Ling to lead 10,000 troops to regain the lost territory of Chang'an, focusing on controlling the main strongholds such as the North and South Gates, and control the situation in Chang'an first. Then join Zhang Liao to control the entire Chang'an, and eliminate all the rebel forces. The rest of the people involved in the case, etc., Take them all into custody and deal with them together when the lord comes back."
"Zhu Ling understands, please rest assured, military advisor, I will live up to your trust," Zhu Ling promised excitedly.
Jushou nodded trustingly to this rising star and said again.
"General Wen Chou can lead five thousand troops to replace the army originally guarding the palace, and sit in the imperial city on standby. He will also be responsible for collecting and surrendering Xiliang troops here, without any mistakes."
Seeing Wen Chou, he was very reluctant. He didn't want everyone to go to war and he would sit in the palace and do this boring job. Jushou had to remind him, his voice was a bit harsh.
"General, don't take it lightly. This is a task assigned to you by the lord himself. I hope the general will do it well and make no mistakes."
Hearing that it was arranged by Yuan Shao himself, Wen Chou did not dare to neglect and accepted the order happily.
After sending away the most difficult general to serve, Jushou finally said to Zhao Yunde, "Just go to Zilong and come with me to fight against the so-called Alliance to Defeat Yuan."
The implication is that he scorned the so-called alliance with Yuan and looked down upon him.
Although Zhao Yun didn't know what it was to seek alliance with Yuan, but seeing the look of the military advisor, he knew that they were vulnerable and just a small role. He respectfully accepted the order and spoke.
"Zhao Yun takes orders based on the orders of the military advisor. Please rest assured, military advisor, as long as I am here, I will not let anyone threaten my lord's great cause."
Jushou was very satisfied, and after telling Wen Chou and Zhu Ling what to pay attention to, he and Zhao Yun led an army of 20,000 people and fought out from the east gate to meet with Yuan Alliance.
With Zhu Ling's advance, the news that Yuan Shao led his army to fight back and regain Chang'an spread throughout Chang'an as if it had wings.
All kinds of news came to us, such as the death of General Huangfu Song in battle and the news that Dong Cheng led his army to surrender. It was also spread everywhere, making people panic.
In particular, the royalists were even more uneasy, fearing that if Yuan Shao came back, he would not settle accounts with them and clean them up. So they came to Taifu's Mansion together again to ask for advice and discuss what to do in the future.
We are still in the same secret room, but there is no interest as before, and there are many fewer people. The only famous ones are Zhu Jun and old lady Fu Huangfusong.
"What can we do? Yuan Shao is back, and there will definitely be no good fruits for us to eat!"
"Yes, if he settles the score, our lives will be at risk!"
"Yes, Master Taifu, please speak up and show us a way out!"
Zhu Jun originally knew that his good partner Huangfu Song died in the battle, and he felt very sad. Now that I see these villains, they are not trying to save the Han Emperor and fight Yuan Shao to the end. Instead, he was thinking about surrendering and saving his life, so he was not angry at all.
This expression was disgusting, and this performance made him even more disappointed. They had previously vowed that they would throw their heads, blood and even their lives in order to revive the Han Dynasty. But now, this villain's face of surrender is really making people angry.
Zhu Jun couldn't bear it any longer and scolded them, "You can get out of here. Isn't this the time to think about saving your life? Now is the time to think of ways to see if there is no rescue method, so that you can regroup and restore the Han Dynasty. And You, you...".
Zhu Jun couldn't help being angry when he said this. He spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed. It took a long time to regain his breath.
Seeing that Zhu Jun was so excited that he was so angry that he coughed up blood. The minister who had been talking before felt a little ashamed. In comparison, he was really nothing. But he had no intention of leaving, and was waiting for his leader Yang Biao to give him an idea.
Seeing this, Yang Biao sighed helplessly and asked his confidants to help Zhu Jun sit down, drinking water to calm down his shock and calm down his anger. After that, he comforted everyone.
"Don't worry, everyone, we are all ministers of the country, and the court cannot do without us. If Yuan Shao wants to take action, he must also be careful about the impact, and will not kill easily."
After hearing the Taifu's comfort, the ministers thought the same thing and immediately felt much more relieved. Seeing that Zhu Jun was angry and Yang Biao had no intention of continuing to speak, he excused himself and left, saying that he had something to do.
After a while, they all left, leaving only Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, left in the secret room empty and deserted.
After a while, Zhu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Yang Biao with both disappointment and fantasy, "Master Tutor, do you think we still have a chance?"
Seeing Zhu Jun waiting expectantly for his answer, Yang Biao wanted to tell him that we still had a chance, but in fact it was okay not to tell him. Although it was a bit cruel, Yang Biao still shook his head and said nothing more.
In fact, no need for Yang Biao to tell, Zhu Jun also knew the result. He just asked for psychological comfort, but seeing Yang Biao like this. His illusions were shattered in an instant, and his hopes were shattered into pieces.
There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. When Yang Biao finished speaking, he saw that Zhu Jun did not say goodbye to the Taifu, but staggered out of the secret room, and left Yang Biao's mansion without looking back.
Like a walking zombie, I don’t know how I returned to my home. When he got home, he died of sorrow and anger. Of course, this is a story later.
