Had dinner tonight.
It was rare for Wei Cheng to relax in the bedroom with Cai Yan and his girls.
Cai Yan's belly has gotten bigger recently, and Po Wen said that the baby will be born in about a month at most, or at least ten days.
For this reason, Wei Cheng spends some time with her almost every day.
At this time, the girls were playing mahjong, and Wei Cheng sat aside and played with Aning and Niu Niu folding paper cranes.
Cai Yan's three daughters were short of one, so he found Liu He.
As for Xie Yu, it is because she is about to marry into the Wei family and for the sake of etiquette, she cannot see Wei Cheng recently.
"Nine loaves."
Zhong Chan skillfully played the cards and looked at Cai Yan opposite with a smile.
Cai Yan's expression changed, and he pursed his lips. After Liu He finished playing, he took out a ninety thousand card and punched it out.
Zhong Chan had quick eyes and quick hands, "What a fool!"
Cai Yan looked at her angrily and didn't say anything. In fact, this was the code the three of them had thought about in order to win Wei Cheng's card.
Pancakes correspond to ten thousand, ten thousand corresponds to strips, strips correspond to pancakes, spring, summer, autumn and winter correspond to southeast, northwest, and others have their own code words.
A little mahjong, they suddenly completed Mission Impossible.
Liu He didn't know it, so he took out a few small beads from his purse, all of which were pearl agate, which would cost hundreds of thousands in future generations.
Cai Yan took a few gold leaves, while Hao Niang's chips were dim sum tickets.
As the receipts from the Wei Institute have become more and more perfect, food stamps are no longer useful when buying cakes and other pastries. Special snack coupons are needed, so they are also valuable.
Zhong Chan happily took it, counted it, divided out two orbs and handed them to An Ning and Niu Niu. He also gave out the remaining dim sum tickets. He was not as happy as everyone else. To the two little girls, She also loves him very much.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he said with a smile: "If you keep playing like this, no one will play mahjong with you again. Just let me be fooled. Why did you also fool Miss Liu?"
Liu He was startled when he heard this and looked at Zhong Chan in confusion.
But Cai Yan said with a smile: "Okay, husband, don't say anything wrong about Chan'er, she will lose a lot tonight."
Several people couldn't help but look at Zhong Chan's drawer, which was empty. Then they looked at Liu He's drawer, which was filled with gold leaves, snack tickets, and Zhong Chan's favorite jade buttons.
The jade buckle is a kind of decoration on clothes. It is usually worn on the collar and belt as a decoration. Its shape is similar to the belt buckle of later generations, and there are various styles and patterns.
Zhong Chan said bitterly: "I just want to win once, sir... Sister Liu is too cunning. She memorizes cards and can also calculate the remaining cards I have, so there is no way she can win."
When Liu He heard this, a slight smile appeared on his pretty face, but it was blocked by the golden tassel mask, so he couldn't see clearly, but his voice was as intoxicating as the orchid in the empty valley, "Sister Chan'er is too simple, in fact, this is the only card. Very easy to remember."
Wei Cheng chuckled.
"Okay, you have been fighting for two hours, so let's stop here tonight."
The girls looked at the clock in the corner, only to realize that it was already past Wu hour and was about to be Hai hour. Time flew by so fast.
Hao Niang suggested, "I'll make some sweet soup. Let's all eat and go back to rest."
When Liu He heard this, he looked at Wei Cheng expectantly. She actually wanted to stay for a while. She would be almost alone when she went back.
Wei Cheng saw Cai Yan nodding, so he agreed.
"Well, don't wake up Aunt Niu. I'll help you."
Hao Niang's eyes were bright and she said "Hmm" charmingly.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as Wei Cheng stood up, the voice of housekeeper Wei Mu came from outside the door.
"Second Master, Mr. Tian is here and wants to see you for something important."
Wei Cheng's expression changed, and the women couldn't help but frown. They were not blaming Tian Feng for visiting late at night, but they were worried that something so important had to be mentioned at this time. I was afraid it would be a big deal.
Wei Cheng comforted the girls.
Before leaving the house, he turned back to Liu He and said, "Miss Liu, get ready. Maybe there will be a surprise for you in two days."
Liu He was stunned for a moment, not knowing why. When he was about to ask more questions, Wei Cheng had already walked away with the housekeeper.
Come to the study room.
As soon as he entered, he found Tian Feng standing by the desk with a solemn face. When he saw Wei Cheng, he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Sir."
Wei Cheng signaled him not to be polite, walked to the desk and sat down, curiously asking: "What happened?"
Tian Feng took out the letter that he had prepared long ago, presented it with both hands, and said, "This is the news from Shuofang."
Wei Cheng took it and took a look, his brows furrowed involuntarily, "Good guy, this is coming out in full force."
The communication lag was like this. Only then did Wei Cheng learn about the 'crisis' faced by Shuo Fang. The three forces of Southern Xiongnu, Xiongnu Right, and Qiangqu were pressing down on the border with a total of 400,000 troops. Moreover, the troops were divided into four groups, obviously heading towards Bingzhou and Hedong. Come.
After reading it, Wei Cheng frowned and said: "I thought Dong Zhuo was ignorant of life and death, but I didn't expect that he would have such a plan and unite 400,000 barbarians to attack me. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would really succeed."
Tian Feng nodded in agreement.
Then he raised his hands and smiled and said: "Fortunately, the young master has been prepared. The Tiangang Divine Soldiers brought by General Xu this time can just solve the crisis of the 400,000 troops. We only need to concentrate on dealing with Dong Zhuo."
Wei Cheng thought of the gadgets he bought from Dubai and shook his head in amusement, "The Tiangang Divine Weapons are not easy to prepare. Each set is priceless. It's heartbreaking to use them on those barbarians like this. "
Tian Feng didn't know that Wei Cheng had spent money to buy the so-called Tiangang Divine Weapon. He only thought that Wei Cheng had spent a lot of time, money and manpower to create it. It cost a lot of money and he should feel distressed.
"However, as long as the situation can be broken, it can be regarded as getting what it deserves. As for the cost, this is something that cannot be done. We will make up for it slowly in the future." Tian Feng comforted him with his hand.
Wei Cheng smiled when he heard this and did not explain. After all, it involved his own secret.
It seems that the investment in Uganda's new energy industry will be accelerated. Later, I can purchase weapons and equipment on the African continent in the name of the company. When the time comes, I will recruit some big guys.
However, the most important thing right now is to solve the big trouble at hand.
"I'm not worried about Shuofang. With Xu Huang and the others here, the barbarians are not something to be afraid of. But there's no news from the south yet?" Wei Cheng stood up and walked to the side of the big Han Kanyutu, his eyes falling on Shangsha County in Jingzhou. .
Tian Feng also came over, frowning and said: "I have asked the secret guard to rush over to deliver the letter. If Uncle Wen can successfully persuade Sun Bofu, it will be better, but if not, we will have to rely on ourselves."
Wei Cheng frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
However, his eyes fell on Nanyang and Luoyang from time to time, as if he was worried about something.
···
The next day.
Le Jin sent someone with good news.
In a battle last night, more than 3,700 enemy troops were annihilated, more than 5,000 were captured, and Yongji County was successfully defended.
Guo Si had 20,000 soldiers and horses, most of whom were killed or wounded, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses escaped. This was the reason why Le Jin was reluctant to use Lei Zhenzi to kill the enemy on a large scale, otherwise half of the 20,000 soldiers and horses would not have been able to leave alive.
Wei Cheng's worry intensified inexplicably when he learned that someone from the secret guard was heading to Luoyang with Guo Si's head.
He really wanted to recruit Lu Bu, but Lu Bu... always seemed to have a death-seeking spirit.
the other side.
Qingyang Ferry.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu led 5,000 men and horses to fight against Niu Fu's army.
"I am the twelve generals of Longshan, and I have the dragon-slaying sword Xu Chu. Who dares to fight?"
At this time, seven or eight corpses were lying in the open space between the two armies. Xu Chu was covered in blood, holding a dragon-slaying sword and sitting peacefully on his horse. The blood on his body belonged to the enemy. Apart from being a little breathless, Xu Chu was in no condition. hinder.
However, the soldiers on the opposite side were already scared to death. Niu Fu looked at the shouting Xu Chu with a gloomy face, and for no reason, he thought of Lu Bu first.
If Lu Bu were present, he wouldn't have made the other party so arrogant.
After pondering for a while, Niu Fu turned around and asked, "Have you investigated clearly?"
A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe at the rear raised his hands and responded: "After several inspections, it is true that there are only 5,000 troops and no ambush was found."
Niu Fu was still a little worried when he heard this.
He has more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 10,000 deserters who escaped last night. That's why he learned that Guo Si was ambushed and that Guo Si had been killed. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night. Sleep.
Today, when he saw that Xu Chu with 5,000 men dared to shout against his 80,000 men, he concluded that the Wei family was still ambushing in the rear. If his army attacked, it would be a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
Therefore, he hesitated to order the entire army to attack.
"No, the Wei family is extremely cunning. Although the Wei Shijun is young, the Grand Master has said more than once that this son is far-sighted and must not be underestimated. We must not fall into his ambush, otherwise no matter how many of us come, No match."
Several lieutenants looked at each other and wanted to retort a few words, but when they saw their colleagues being killed by Xu Chu on the field, they all shut their mouths.
However, what they don't know is that just because of such a delay, their advantage has long been lost.
This is the brilliance of Wei Cheng.
First, Le Jin was asked to ambush Guo Si, creating the illusion that the Wei family was still behind.
Then let Xu Chu and Dian Wei step forward to call for battle, and kill the courage of the generals.
Originally, there was a third wave of offensive, which was a large number of thunder bombs, but unfortunately the opponent did not give them a chance.
This is done again and again, and again, and again, and three times until it is exhausted. When the enemy is exhausted, I will be full, so I can overcome it. This is a very simple method of warfare.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
"It's so presumptuous that the military camp is so important. Who can drive horses to make trouble!"
"Report, urgent news from Luodu, where is the general?"
Not long after, one man and one horse rushed to the front line and saw Niu Fu who was in a state of distress.
When Niu Fu learned that it was someone from Luoyang, he frowned and said, "But Lu Zhonglang is here?"
The visitor turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee in fear, and said: "Report to the general, Lu Zhonglang leads 60,000 troops..."
"Great, if Lu Zhonglang is here, why would Xu Chu, who is only ranked ninth, be so arrogant!"
Before Niu Fu was happy, the man continued: "Lead 60,000 troops and go to Chang'an."
"What?"
Niu Fu's face changed drastically.
Several scribes behind him also screamed in fright.
They knew very well how empty Chang'an was now, so Dong Zhuo and his thousands of Yu Lin and Hu Ben were the only ones to stick to it.
"This, this, what does Lu Fengxian want?" Niu Fu broke out in sweat and almost fell off the horse.
Everything he had was given to him by Dong Zhuo. If something happened to Dong Zhuo, he would be buried with him. What's more, this person was Lü Bu. He and Dong Min made things difficult for Lü Bu several times. If Lü Bu gained power, one can imagine his ending.
"How dare you, Lu Fengxian, be so unreasonable!"
A man with a strong back and a bearly waist appeared in front of everyone on horseback. This person was Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min. He was the general of the left. Dong Zhuo was able to have the power he has today so easily. Dong Min played a vital supporting role in it.
"uncle."
Seeing that Dong Min was also disturbed, Niu Fu quickly got off his horse and saluted with clasped fists.
Dong Min glanced at Xu Chu who was still shouting in the distance, and asked Niu Fu in disappointment: "Why can't a mere brat remain in a stalemate for so long?"
Niu Fu was speechless for a moment.
I thought, you haven't seen it with your own eyes. Just now, Xu Chu slashed one by one. The generals under my command are not the enemy of Yihe at all.
Dong Min reprimanded him with a reprimand, saying now is not the time to raise an army to hold him accountable.
He looked at the messenger and said in a deep voice: "Did Lu Fengxian really lead his troops to Chang'an?"
The visitor's head was almost touching the ground and he responded respectfully: "It's absolutely true."
Dong Min's face changed suddenly, and after thinking for a while, he said to Niu Fu: "Leave 30,000 people to meet the Huns, and the rest will return to Chang'an quickly. You and I will lead the 5,000 light cavalry to go back first... Lu Fengxian, here we go." Damn it, I said at the beginning that such half-hearted people are the most untrustworthy, brother Hutu."
Ushifu nodded heavily.
Looking back at Xu Chu who was still shouting, Niu Fu breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
This is a very strange mentality. It seems that if the stalemate with the Wei family continues, he will follow in the footsteps of 'Guo Si'.
···
Time came last night.
The official roads in the capital area extend in all directions, and they are all rammed earth roads that have been built in the pre-Qin Dynasty. They are wide and easy to walk.
Two members of the secret guard took Guo Si's head and ran a long way to Luoyang without stopping, where they met Lu Bu.
When they brought Guo Si's head to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu, who was originally wavering, seemed to have finally made up his mind and immediately asked Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng and others to raise troops.
The army was already ready to go, Lu Bu just didn't know whether he should go to Hedong County to join in the fun.
Now that he saw Guo Si's head, he understood what Wei Cheng meant. This was the last solicitation. If Lu Bu didn't show some sincerity, he would definitely be the next one to be beheaded.
Although Lu Bu was reckless, he was not so reckless that he didn't know what to say.
Especially since he had been to Anyi twice, he knew how powerful the Wei family was, and he had personally seen the lethality of Lei Zhenzi.
Rather than accompany Dong Zhuo to die, it would be better for someone who knows the current affairs to be a hero, and take advantage of the Wei family to be attacked from both sides, and come to help him in the snow.
Therefore, Lu Bu directly abandoned Luodu and led all his troops to attack Chang'an.
As for the impact of betraying his adopted father Ding Yuan and now betraying Dong Zhuo on his reputation, Lu Bu didn't care at all compared to his position of power, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today.
at the same time.
Jia Xu, who was far away in Chang'an, also received a reply from Wei Cheng. Although it was written by Tian Feng, it represented Wei Cheng's will.
Unlike Lu Bu, Jia Xu did not hesitate and directly agreed to the secret guards' request and fully cooperated with them to rescue the young emperor and the two queens.
Weiyang Palace.
A caravan, led by Jia Xu, successfully entered the palace gate. Seeing that the car was filled with silks and satins, the Imperial Guards guarding the city thought it was Jia Xu's ill-gotten gains from the people and did not stop them.
Faced with such a lax defense, the secret guards expressed their disdain, and at the same time secretly lamented, what is the difference between the Han Dynasty and the prison bird today?
