Chapter 704: Buying time
It is said that Huang Yan was captured by Chen Long and finally spit out the conspiracy from his mouth. Li Ru was extremely intelligent and had already predicted that Chen Long would personally go to Xiliang to rescue Diao Chan, but the appearance of Huai Yang came into Li Ru's sight. If Li Ru is determined to pursue Diao Chan, he will catch Chen Long and others in one fell swoop.
A chill rose in Chen Long's heart. He originally thought that he would use the cover of the Yi Jian prostitute clan to sneak into Tianshui without anyone noticing. Unexpectedly, he had already entered the enemy's field of vision. Maybe the big and small city lords of Zhang were also actors appointed by Li Ru. Thinking of this, Diao Chan was infinitely worried, but thinking of the inside line of Jiang Wei and Ma Yunluo, the outside line of Jincheng City Lord Chen Yi, and the strong confidence in his men, there was still a trace of luck in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Huang Yan did not shut up and continued: "Li Ru came from behind and indeed asked Lord Han Sui to put Cheng Gongying aside and no longer fully trust him. But the mastermind behind the killing array was actually another person whose wisdom was not as good as his own. Not under Li Ru. As long as the dragon master thinks about who is the main opponent of the Qinglong Army in the world, he will naturally understand. "
Chen Long's heart trembled when he heard this. The first thing that came into his mind was the heroic Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. He blurted out: "Cao Cao?"
Huang Yan nodded slightly and said: "I have long heard that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are generals under you. Ma Chao's father Ma Teng was also the overlord of Xiliang in the past, but he was defeated by Han Sui in the end. Do you know how he failed? ?”
Chen Long's heart was churning. He didn't expect that Xiliang's affairs had long been linked to Cao Cao's forces. If Zhao Zilong hadn't succeeded in his surprise attack on Hefei, the entire Jianghuai River would have been uprooted by Cao Mengde's Fifth Route Army, and Xiangyang and Jiangling would have been in danger. If Han Sui had launched an attack in Xiliang and attacked Chang'an and Hanzhong at that time, the Qinglong Army would have become the steak in the hamburger, pinched at both ends, and would inevitably be defeated.
Cao Mengde really had no plans left, and he had already secretly communicated with Han Sui to deal with the Qinglong Army. Think about it, with Cao Cao's wisdom, how could he turn a blind eye to the rapid rise of the Qinglong Army.
Chen Long secretly blamed himself for not targeting Cao Cao as his main enemy in the past few years, but he had been plotted by Cao Cao long ago. In terms of talent, strategy and momentum, there is still a gap between himself and Cao Mengde.
Huang Yan continued leisurely: "In the past, when we were in Chang'an, Cao Cao and Han Sui were promoted to Xiaolian at the same age, and they were promoted to peace officers at the same time. They have been close friends for a long time. At that time, the eunuch's dictatorship led to great chaos in the world, and Han Sui and Cao Cao At the same time, they went to persuade the general He Jin to kill the eunuchs, which can be said to be a joint advance and retreat. Han Sui entered Xiliang and became the overlord, competing with other local warlords for territory. Cao Cao was behind to make suggestions and even strengthen troops to finance. Ma Teng was originally a local snake, and Han Sui At the beginning, he befriended him, but turned around and launched a rebellion. Even if Ma Teng's death was not guaranteed, it was not related to Cao Mengde. Time passed, and Han Sui was already the lord of Xiliang, and he even made an alliance with Cao Mengde to divide the world."
Chen Long nodded slightly after hearing this, knowing that Huang Yan's identity was only a rough guess, and he didn't know the details. He thought for a while and asked: "Since Cao Cao and Han Sui have formed an alliance, this conspiracy against me, except for Li Ru, Who is in charge? I'm afraid you are not a Cheng Gongying person."
Huang Yan frowned and said: "Who is Cheng Gongying? When will it be his turn to order me." After a pause, he continued: "Dragon Lord, have you ever heard of Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo?"
Chen Long's heart suddenly stirred up huge waves. Xun Yu's name was like thunder. He was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and Xun You and Xun Chen were both generals in his Qinglong Army. He didn't expect that the mastermind Cao Cao sent to Xiliang this time was actually It is Xun Wenruo, his number one plotter, which shows how much he values himself.
An incredible image appeared in Chen Long's mind. In the dark shadow behind the great warlord Han Sui, a pair of sharp eyes stared at him. If he looked carefully, it turned out to be Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, dressed in Confucian robes and high crown. Xun Yu's eyes were upright and selfless, but he revealed that his wisdom was as deep as the sea. He was sure that Cao Cao could bring order to the chaos and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and vowed to help him eliminate other warlords, including his Qinglong Army.
In the official history, Xun Yu was called "the talented king's assistant" in his early years. He was first promoted to be filial and honest, and was appointed as the palace guard. Later, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. He led his clan to seek refuge in Jizhou and was treated as an honored guest by Yuan Shao. Later he defected to Cao Cao. When the official arrives at the service, he abides by the minister's order and is granted the title of Marquis of Long Live Pavilion. Because he served as Shangshu Ling and stayed in the central position for more than ten years, handling military and state affairs, he was respectfully called "Xun Lingjun". Later, because he opposed Cao Cao's title of Duke of Wei, he was tabooed by him and transferred away from the central government. In Shouchun, he became depressed and died of illness (he committed suicide by poisoning) at the age of fifty. He was given the posthumous title of "Jing" and was later given the posthumous title of Taiwei.
In terms of strategy, Xun Yu planned and formulated a blueprint and military route for Cao Cao to unify the north. He revised Cao Cao's strategic policies many times and was praised by Cao Cao, including "deeply consolidating the roots to control the world", "welcoming the emperor", etc.; tactics In the Shang Dynasty, he saved the three cities of Yanzhou in the face of Lu Bu's rebellion, made a clever plan to intercept Yuan Shao in Guandu, escaped from Wan, and marched lightly to cover up his surprise attack on Jingzhou. Politically, he recommended Zhong Yao, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and many other talents. Xun Yu made many achievements in planning, plotting, Kuangbi, and recruiting people, and was called "my son's house" by Cao Cao.
Chen Long did not expect to encounter such a powerful person in front of Xiliang. Moreover, he was deep in a dangerous place and had only a few soldiers. He was obviously at a huge disadvantage. He could only escape by breaking things into pieces and turning light into darkness. Day of birth. If Xun Yu made the plans himself, he would definitely have to exhaust all plans. How could he avert danger?
Chen Long stared at Huang Yan in front of him. At present, he only had the advantage of Huang Yan. Huang Yan's assassination attempt failed. The enemy must not have reacted so quickly and adjusted the new round-up strategy.
Then he asked: "If you succeed in killing me, when should you repay me?"
Huang Yan looked at the sky and smiled bitterly: "This is the time."
Chen Long stood up in a hurry, and said with fierceness in his eyes: "I have half the world in my hands, Huang Yan, are you willing to truly surrender to me?" Huang Yan was slightly startled, looking at the seven-star sword shining in Chen Long's hand, and finally He knelt down and said, "Huang Yan is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
What Chen Long wants now is to gain all the precious time, and his escape plan must be quick. But if he cannot participate in the martial arts competition, will Ma Yunluo marry someone else?
Chen Long was extremely conflicted and thought, Yunluo, do you know my heart? If I can't show up at the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, you must not be sad to me. I just hope that you won’t want to marry anyone other than me, that you will defeat all powerful enemies in the final battle, and that you will fight with all your strength in order to wait for me to come back and marry you!
Chen Long's mouth was full of bitterness, and he finally swallowed it, and said to Huang Yan: "Go and reply to your master, and tell me that you dragged me into deep water and drowned me, and my body was washed away by the water."
Huang Yan shook his head and said, "They won't believe it without your body."
Chen Long gritted his teeth and said: "You just took them to search in the river to distract their attention so that I can arrange for my people to escape immediately and buy me time. Do you understand?"
Seeing Huang Yan finally nodding, Chen Long held his shoulders and said, "When the time comes, you must escape quickly to save your family. If you can escape to Jincheng, you will be safe." Huang Yan nodded gratefully and finally Limped away.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
