Chapter 495: Parting Plans
It is said that Zhuge Jin followed Chen Long to conduct on-site investigation of the Diao Chan robbery, and many clues recreated the tragic scene of that night. Chen Long had thousands of years more experience than Zhuge Jin, which benefited Zhuge Jin a lot; and Zhuge Jin also discovered a crucial clue. Diao Chan took apart a string of sandalwood decorative beads in her accessories and left them at the scene. Dropped the first one.
Because of this clue, Chen Long was very happy. As long as we can continue to find the remaining beads, we can accurately outline a tracking route until the enemy approaches the rescue without knowing it. Chen Long was eager to follow up and had a tight time schedule. It was not appropriate for Zhuge Jin to attend his own military meeting. He immediately decided to ask Lu Chang, Hao Pu and other five special team leaders who had prepared everything to follow Zhuge Jin first. He would come immediately after the meeting. Join Zhuge Jin and others.
Only then did Zhuge Jin understand that Chen Long was determined to save Diao Chan personally. He was worried that Lujiang could not withstand Cao's five-pronged attack. If the Sun Long alliance was delayed, he would be blamed. Chen Long understood Zhuge Jin's mood and said that he would appoint Zhuge Kongming and Lu Su Lu Zijing as special envoys of the Qinglong Army at the meeting and rush to Jiangxia to conclude a friendship treaty.
Zhuge Jin was slightly surprised and said, "Is the Great Sima talking about Lu Su and Lu Zijing from Manjianghuai?"
Seeing Chen Long nodded slightly, Zhuge Jin shook his head and smiled and said: "I have heard about the Jingzhou Lingling Imperial Examination, but I didn't expect that even famous people like Lu Su would participate. I heard that Zhou Dudu said that Zijing was tall and tall, with a bold personality and few ambitions. He cares about wealth and loves giving, and likes to practice martial arts, riding and shooting. I am very attracted to him. The puppet emperor Yuan Shu once appointed him as the chief of the East City, but Zijing refused. Later Gongjin was appointed as the chief of Juchao. He once asked for funding for military rations, and Zijing pointed him out. He had a large granary containing 30,000 hu of grain. Gong Jin was so grateful that he became close friends with Zijing. Unfortunately, Yuan Shu continued to harass him and pushed Zijing to the Qinglong Army!"
Chen Long didn't expect Zhuge Jin to come to such a conclusion, and smiled and said: "Ziyu, everyone says that Cao Mengde is thirsty for talents. Yuan Gongdao is not the same. I set up the imperial examination to attract talents. When Zijing came to me, Zi Jing But Yu and Gong Jin went to Sun Bofu, and things in the world are always so wonderful."
Zhuge Jin heard the meaning of Chen Long's words and changed the subject: "Since it was Lu Zijing and his second brother who went to Jiangdong to conclude an alliance, it was natural that it would be successful. In this way, Tzuyu would concentrate on finding the whereabouts of Mrs. Xiangyang for Da Sima as a reward. Da Sima's love for my talent." These words were so sincere that even the corners of Chen Long's eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist.
After Zhuge Jin and others left, Chen Long returned to Zhong Yao's Inn alone. But he saw young Zhong Hui standing next to Zhong Yao, looking thin and tough in a strong suit. Chen Long said happily: "Shi Ji! I heard that you held the bow to guard the city gate last night. You were so brave and brave. You are really a role model for our Qinglong Army!" Zhong Hui went to see Xun You who was injured, and then went to see Hu Yanyuanhai who was still unconscious.
Zhong Yao cleared the backyard of the inn to prepare for this important military meeting. Xu Shu, Liu Xian, Liu Yong and other important figures of the First Army arrived one after another, but Huang Gai and Zhuge Liang were the only ones who had not yet returned. Everyone discussed the current situation, and also talked about Cao Cao's kidnapping of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. When everyone looked up, it was Lu Su who had arrived.
It turned out that Chen Long had already sent someone to invite Lu Su before conducting on-site inspections. Lu Su had seen Chen Longhui's report: "Lu Yu was designed by General Wei Wenchang to burn down a section of the village gate. After breaking into the camp, he burned down the barracks and led his troops north to join Zhu Jun. Now he should be with General Ma Mengqi's troops. Contact battle. General Wei is now leading his troops to rest in the west of the city, preparing to pursue them one after another to prevent General Meng Qi from being attacked from both sides." Chen Long nodded and gave Lu Su a seat.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was also a style of chatting. Although it was not as corrupt as in the late Jin Dynasty, there were still some signs. The generals were fighting fiercely, and when they got together, they actually started talking about gossip. Chen Long listened carefully and found out that they were some famous young men at that time. One was named Ji Zhao, the other was Shan Yao, and He Yan and Lu Zhao. I heard that they loved applying makeup the most. It turned out that men at that time also She knows how to wear makeup and considers fair skin to be beautiful.
Chen Long heard this in disbelief and simply refused to listen. He nervously thought about the content of the meeting and already had a plan in mind. The surroundings suddenly quieted down. Chen Long looked up and saw Zhuge Liang and Huang Gai already standing beside him. Even the injured Xun You came over with a helping hand.
Seeing Chen Long raise his head, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "My lord, if there is any battle situation, I must report it first." He pointed to a soldier behind him and said: "You tell me!"
The soldier made a military salute and said: "My lord, I am the flag officer of General Zhang Xiu." When Chen Long heard this, he knew that it was related to the Tongguan war, so he hurriedly made a gesture of listening. The soldier continued: "Zhang Xiu The general attacked Tongguan fiercely, and when he saw it was broken, a group of men and horses suddenly came out of the diagonal stab. The leader was called Meng Tan with two swords, and he was very fierce. Our rear army had no generals who could not defeat it, so we had to retreat steadily. Huangfu Song and his son killed him from the city. When he came out, he was attacked from both sides, and General Zhang Xiu fell into a bitter battle. Fortunately, General Zhang He arrived in time and rescued General Zhang Xiu from the encirclement. The Meng Tan soldiers followed and killed them, numbering tens of thousands. General Zhang He had to send an order to retreat thirty miles and go to the stronghold. Unexpectedly, before the fence was set up, another group of rebel soldiers came from behind last night. After fighting with our army, they rushed out of the siege and entered Tongguan. Later we found out that they were the Xiliang cavalry who lost the battle with our lord. Now there are people in Tongguan The troops from the three parties have gathered together, numbering no less than 100,000, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to defeat them for a while.”
Chen Long did not expect that Li Jue and Guo Si's Xiliang soldiers fled into Tongguan, and there was another Meng Tan army. He immediately thought of Yuan Shu's suggestion of cooperating to attack Tongguan, but he immediately rejected it. Chen Long cleared his throat and spoke: "Everyone! Due to time constraints, everyone must take action to implement my request today without further discussion or hesitation." The officers, including Huang Gai and below, were dumbfounded. Long never makes a decision without discussion, and today seems to be setting a precedent!
"The battle at Tongguan must be fought quickly. I order you to take the bomb to blow open the city gate, but the purpose is to scare Huangfu Song and others' troops away, so that they can enter Yuan Shu's territory to stir up trouble or fend for themselves. , and then asked Zhang Xiu and Zhang He to seal Tongguan, cut off all contact with Yuan Shu, and cut off the water transportation of the Yellow River." The soldier obeyed the order and immediately went to get the bag without mentioning it.
"Cao Mengde welcomed Emperor Xian and set up a palace next to Mount Tai. His ambition is for the world. Now our army must take countermeasures to set the record straight. Xun You, I will appoint you as the order of Chang'an immediately. I will immediately go to the palace to see Queen Mother He and choose your appearance and Soldiers who resembled Emperor Xian pretended to be ill and did not come to court, claiming to the outside world that Emperor Xian had not been kidnapped, but had been frightened. All the officials, palace maids, and eunuchs who knew the truth were escorted to the Zhenzong Palace under the supervision of Liu Bao. No one was allowed to visit, and those who escaped were Kill without mercy."
Xun You narrowed his eyes and said: "Two rabbits are walking next to each other on the ground. How can you tell whether I am a male or a female? This is a wonderful move, my lord. Let's just say that Cao Mengde made a fake Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to confuse the public and make him confused. "Chen Long said: "Go ahead and do it! I can rest assured that you will do it!" Xun You obeyed.
Chen Long pointed at Xu Shu again and said: "Yuanzhi, Lu Zijing has another appointment, but Wei Wenchang cannot be without a military advisor. Now I appoint you as Wenchang's advisor. I hope you can give full play to it." Xu Shu said with great joy: "My subordinates have long wanted to do this. Galloping on the battlefield, thank you Lord for your trust!"
"Yuanzhi, when you go here, you must let Wen Chang lead the troops to join Ma Chao, quickly launch an expulsion war, expel Lu Yu and Zhu Jun's troops into the northwest Gobi, and then build a permanent military fortress to guard the west gate of Chang'an. After completion, Ma Chao was ordered to immediately move back to Hanzhong to help Ma Dai pacify the Badi and Qiang people, give them wasteland work, and produce their own food. If they refused to make trouble, they could also be expelled back to Xiliang. However, when they met Li Hu, a Badi, You must capture him alive."
Xu Shu had never heard of Li Hu from Ba Di, so he couldn't help but be a little confused, but the lord just said that he must carry out the order, so he hurriedly agreed to obey the order. Seeing that the chaos in Hanzhong had been arranged, Chen Long felt a little more at ease and pointed at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming! Cao Mengde sent troops from five directions to seize Hefei and press on Lujiang. Sun Ce struggled to support him before Zhuge Jin came to conclude an alliance with Sun Long." Alliance. I appointed you and Lu Su as the Qinglong special envoys, and immediately rushed to Jiangxia to discuss with Zhou Yu the conclusion of the alliance. Make sure there is no mistake! If the conclusion cannot be made, you two will come to see me!" Zhuge Liang has never seen his lord look so upright. With a stern look, he and Lu Su hurriedly bowed and agreed. Here, there are different religions: Zhuge Liang quarrels with the Confucian scholars, Lu Zijing speaks eloquently about Bo Fu, Zhou Gongjin accepts orders in danger, and Sun Zhongmou makes his first attempt.
After Chen Long ordered several personnel to make arrangements, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, pointed at Huang Gai and said: "Gongfu, the stability of Chang'an is the top priority, and this task belongs to you! Once Chang'an is secure, we can go west Take Xiliang and invade Luoyang from the east, and you will already have half of the world!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
