Chapter 443 Diao Chan’s Wish
It is said that the miracle doctor Hua Tuo saved Liu Xuande's brain from hypoxia. Chen Long visited Liu Bei and saw that he seemed to be in a state of dementia, so he left with some relief. Unexpectedly, after the door behind him was closed tightly, Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and hatred flowed out like water. Chen Long was unaware of this when he left.
Chen Long returned to the city lord's palace with heartache. He had been working hard to expand for many years. There were always famous ministers and generals in the rear area, and he never worried about the safety of the rear area. Now for some reason, I seem to feel a little uneasy. If I think about it carefully, it should be because I haven’t personally taken care of the personnel and finances for a long time. My trust in Chen Qun, Jiang Wan and other important ministers has declined. There are still strong enemies around me, and whether Liu Bei wakes up. Due to the combination of factors that would affect Guan Yu, Chen Long hesitated for the first time whether he should hide his true feelings from Guan Yu forever.
Difficult, difficult, difficult, think about how Guan Yun has passed five levels, killed six generals, and traveled thousands of miles alone. If Guan Yu knew about Liu Xuande, he would definitely doubt his original intention of concealing the information. If Liu Xuande really wakes up, what should he do?
The moment Chen Long walked into his study, his mind was so messed up that he didn't notice a person kneeling by the study door. It wasn't until the man stood up to help Chen Long take off his shirt that Chen Long turned around. Standing behind him was his beloved wife Diao Chan.
Diao Chan is dressed in plain clothes, lightly applied with gouache, and her bright eyes are still stunning. Chen Long instantly understood Diao Chan's wish, held Diao Chan tightly in his arms and said, "Chan'er, what do you want me to do with your godfather?"
Diao Chan burst into tears instantly, and the depression of the past few days suddenly came out. After a while, she said: "I know that my godfather is definitely no match for Long Lang. I want to go to Chang'an with you."
Chen Long shook his head and said: "Chan'er, do you know? Only one of me and Emperor Xian of Han can realize his wish. Emperor Xian of Han wanted to continue the Han tradition and wanted people named Liu to continue it from generation to generation, but with me here, It is to make the imperial power step aside and let the people have the final say. Only one of him and I can win, and the other will definitely lose."
Diao Chan was not an ordinary woman. After hearing this, she nodded slowly and said, "Chan'er understands. It's my godfather who vowed to defend the imperial power to the death and chose to stand on the opposite side of you. But after much thought, I still have something to say to my husband."
"Chan'er's real name is Ren. She is a girl from Guanxi village. She was separated from her family when she was young. She was taken in and cared for by Wang Yun and adopted as an adopted daughter. Her kindness in raising her for many years is unforgettable. She was later admitted to the side palace to study arts. After she became a master, she took charge in the palace. A kind of hat called "Diao Chan" worn by the officials in charge, so it was called Diao Chan. Later, during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Wang Yun offered me as a serial trick, so that I met my husband. Thinking about it today, my adoptive father was obsessed with doing things, and Chan I'm afraid of the day when I see him face Long Lang, I'll even wake up from my dreams."
"Since Ning'er and Yueying can follow Long Lang, why can't I? I think when Long Lang faces his adoptive father, I can persuade him to avoid his bloody disaster and repay the kindness of raising him." Diao Chan continued He said, his eyes already starting to get wet.
Chen Long sighed secretly in his heart and said: "Chan'er, you have completed the chain plan and returned your kindness to Wang Yun. He chose to ignore your life and death, forcibly used the chain plan, and chose to support the imperial power. Behind the scenes, he worked with Wang Yue for The status and glory plans of the Wang family. Once again, your kindness in raising me has been repaid!"
Seeing Diao Chan bursting into tears, she couldn't bear it and said softly: "Chang'an is dangerous. How about I go there after I take Chang'an? I promise you, if Wang Yun can give up his obsession, I will treat him kindly and give him a A way to survive.”
Chen Long stayed at Diao Chan's place that night, and the couple talked intimately in the middle of the night. Diao Chan's mood gradually improved, and Diao Chan raised a new question: "Long Lang, I have been with Baoyue Nannizi these two days. She is She admires you so much, what are you going to do with her?"
Of course Chen Long understood the meaning of the deal. In fact, he was asking if she wanted to marry someone. Suddenly, one person was older than the other. Even if she wanted to marry, she still had to say hello to her father, Gongsun Zan, right?
Fifteen days later, a caravan slowly entered Chang'an from the south gate and entered the Zhongjia Inn in the old city. Zhong Yao had already emptied the inn and went to the car to greet his lord and mistress, who were disguised as businessmen. Everyone was very happy to meet each other. Zhong Yao was very happy when he heard that Zhong Yao's youngest son Zhong Hui was very smart and was now studying under Sima Hui.
Chen Long and Zhang Ning sat down, with Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying standing around. Zhong Yao reported: "General Huang Gongfu and the two military advisors Xun Gongda and Xu Yuanzhi knew that their lord was coming. I don't know how happy they were. Just to keep it secret, they could only stay after nightfall. Come quietly to meet the lord." Chen Long nodded. Zhang Ning was the boss in charge of intelligence and asked directly: "Special Envoy Zhong Yao, what is the strength of the troops in Chang'an City?"
Zhong Yao has been engaged in intelligence for many years and knows the situation in Chang'an very well. He directly said: "There are two thousand imperial guards led by Wang Yue in the Weiyang Palace. Half a mile outside the palace gate is a weapons depot. There are eight thousand imperial guards standing around the weapons depot. The veteran general Jiang Ji led the army. The east gate was guarded by Hu Zhi's 5,000 men, and the west gate was guarded by Zhu Ji's 5,000 men. On the outside were Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu, Huangfu Song, his son Huangfu Jianshou, Zhu Yi and other troops. "
Chen Long nodded. There were a total of 20,000 troops in the city. Considering the strength of his troops in the city, he was not at a disadvantage. Just listen to Zhong Yao continue: "Recently, there have been many signs that a large number of grains, grass and weapons have been transported out of the city from the west gate and east gate. According to my calculations, the number greatly exceeds the existing troops. It is likely that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty recruited them somewhere. Private soldiers.”
Zhang Ning said: "Oh? There are both gates. Could it be that Huangfu Song and Lu Yu secretly expanded their troops?" Zhong Yao replied: "It's very possible."
Chen Long glanced at Zhong Yao and said, "To determine the number of soldiers, you should immediately send someone to find out."
Zhong Yao responded: "The strange thing is here. I have sent many people to investigate, and Huangfu Song and Lu Yu have no signs of expanding their troops."
Zhang Ning said: "It seems that Wang Yunding hid his soldiers. Have you followed the grain truck to investigate?" Zhong Yao said: "Yes. The east gate grain truck entered Tongguan, and part of it passed through the city and went to the front line to fight Yuan Shu. The Ximen grain truck entered the Lu Yu camp."
Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled and said: "I want to cover my ears. There must be private soldiers east of Tongguan. As for the west, they should be allocated to Qiang and Hu and the like, and they are just exchanging food and grass for loyalty."
Zhong Yao glanced at Zhuge Liang in surprise, thinking that he was so extraordinary at such a young age, and responded: "This is what Zhuge Liang expected."
Zhang Ning was a little worried and said: "If this is the case, the troops of the Four Vajras must be careful. Special Envoy Zhong Yao, please send people to investigate clearly and pass the news to the troops of the Four Vajras."
Zhong Yao stood up and bowed: "Yes. In addition, there is another thing that I don't know if it is important... Recently, there was a mysterious guest in Wang Yun's house. He entered Wang Yun's house masked by Ximen and has been living in Wang Yun's house. I never leave my house, so I can’t find out where I came from.”
Chen Long asked: "Is there anyone monitoring this place?"
Zhong Yao said: "Since Military Advisor Jia Xu surrendered to our army, no one has paid attention to this place. Of course, there are many informants around, and there are also our people around Wang Yun's Mansion and Weiyang Palace."
Chen Long stood up and said: "When Gongda, Yuanzhi, and Gongfu gather together at night, we will decide when to take action to kidnap the emperor!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
