Chen Guo, Chen County.
After another 'battle' with Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo stood at the top of the city and watched Yuan Shu's army slowly retreat, his expression not very good.
Niu Fu stood aside and said uneasily: "Father, how should we deal with Chen Liu, Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu rebelling together?"
If Zhang Miao attacks from behind, they will be attacked from both sides.
Niu Fu is very short, and Dong Zhuo is already tall. With this contrast, Dong Zhuo is simply a giant.
Dong Zhuo looked a little ugly and said, "I heard that Yuan Shu has captured Xiapi and Guangling, and has occupied half of Xuzhou?"
Hua Xiong, Guo Si and others looked at each other, their hearts pounding, and they dared not speak.
Once Yuan Shu occupied Xuzhou, Yu, Yang, and Xu became one, and their power increased greatly. Their mere 30,000 troops were unable to resist him!
Jia Xu came up from behind and handed over a letter, saying: "Dong Gong, Zhang Miao did not come to Yuzhou and turned to Luoyang."
Everyone was not surprised but stunned, and turned to look at Jia Xu.
Dong Zhuo took the letter and after reading it, he asked in confusion: "Is the news accurate?"
Jia Xu said: "Regardless of whether it is true or false, did Mr. Dong rush to help Luoyang, or did he stand still?"
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "What do you mean by Wen He?"
Jia Xu said: "Stand still."
Dong Zhuo frowned, hesitant on his old face.
When Luoyang is in trouble, it must be a serious crime for them to stand still. They reinforced Luoyang, and Yuan Shu not only followed and pursued them, but just taking the opportunity to capture Chen State was enough to make them unable to advance or retreat.
In just a blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "It's a lie that Zhang Miao threatened Luoyang with his troops, but it's true that he tempted me to leave the city! Wen He, please write a memorial to the court on my behalf, explaining how powerful it is."
Jia Xu responded, took a step closer, and whispered: "Mr. Dong, Yuan Shu still hasn't replied?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes rolled with murderous intent and he said: "Yuan Shu, my son, killed two groups of my envoys. I will never let go of him!"
Jia Xu's expression moved slightly, he looked in the direction of Yuan Shu's camp and shook his head secretly.
This Yuan Shu is not a man who will achieve great things.
Yuan Shu's camp.
Yuan Shu was sitting on the chariot and saw that Dong Zhuo had been hiding in the city and refused to come out. He suppressed his anger and cursed: "Damn old thief!"
Yuan Huan stood beside the chariot, raised his hand and said: "Lord, there is good news."
Yuan Shu is particularly fond of Yuan Huan now. Hearing this, his expression changed and he said with a smile: "What good news does Yao Qing have?"
Yuan Huan glanced at Xu You, Tian Feng and others beside him, and said: "The Nanyang Chen family has sent 50,000 dan of food to Runan."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu grasped his sword hard and laughed, "It is indeed good news!"
Fifty thousand shi of food is good news, and the most important thing is the defection of the Chen family.
The pride in Yuan Huan's eyes could hardly be concealed, and he raised his hand and said: "My lord, in addition to this, there are many aristocratic families in Xu, Ji, Qing, Yan, and Yang who have responded and are on their way, vowing to work with me to help our great cause!"
Yuan Shu was very excited and asked, "Who are they?"
Yuan Huan paused and said quickly: "Most of them are high-ranking families who are implicated by the party's imprisonment, and some are knights and celebrities wanted by the court and various places."
Yuan Shu heard that it was not just the entire aristocratic family who came to surrender, but some people who were desperate.
"Okay!" Even so, Yuan Shu was very excited and said: "Yao Qing, please greet me in person, don't neglect me, wait until I defeat Dong Zhuo, the old thief, and greet me in person!"
Seeing Yuan Huan stealing his limelight, Xu You shook his head and said: "My lord, Xuzhou is already halfway down. We should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and conquer Xuzhou. With Xuzhou in hand, we have young men, money and food, no need to worry anymore!"
Yuan Shu nodded heavily, looked in the direction of Chen County, snorted coldly, and said: "Old thief Dong thinks that I can't do anything to him if he doesn't leave the city. Give me an order to attack the city in three days!"
Xu You, Yuan Huan and others opened their mouths to speak, but no words came out when they reached their lips.
A small part of their army was borrowed from Yangzhou, and most of it was recruited temporarily. Compared with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang elite, it is hard to say that they can fight in the field. Doesn't attacking a city mean dying in vain?
But Yuan Shu was obviously interested in doing so, and no one dared to dissuade him.
Tian Feng stood aside, looking indifferent, but feeling worried and uneasy in his heart.
Yuan Shu has captured Xuzhou, and both Qingzhou and Yanzhou will be under Yuan Shu's attack!
The country of Han Dynasty is in danger!
…
the next day.
Cao Cao led his troops from Shanyang County and went straight to Chenliu.
While riding the horse, he looked at Guo Jia, who had been silent all the time, and laughed loudly: "Fengxiao, you have been silent all the way. What's your clever plan?"
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said: "Chenliu has Jizhou in the north, Chen State in the south, Sili in the west, and generals in the east. Rebellion is just a desperate fight. There is no need for any clever strategies. A surprise army can quell it."
Xiahou Dun on the side looked at the two people with a strange expression.
Cao Cao is high-spirited, which is very different from the gloomy past; Guo Jia was calm and composed before, but now he is less cheerful and less talkative.
These two people seemed to have been swapped.
Naturally, Cao Cao noticed it, leaned over and asked, "Then why is Fengxiao depressed?"
Guo Jia looked at the jug in his hand and felt that the sweet and smooth wine in the past was not as good as tea, tasteless and tasteless. He shook his head and said: "I don't understand. The imperial court should not treat Yuan Shu's rebellion." That’s what you do.”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that there are times when being filial is miscalculated."
Guo Jia said nothing. He made two miscalculations in total.
One time was regarding Cao Cao's appointment as Yanzhou Shepherd. The court seemed not to have such intention at all. Secondly, he judged that the imperial court would pacify Yuan Shu with lightning speed, but he never thought that after two months of delay, Yuan Shu not only failed to annihilate him, but also allowed him to capture half of Xuzhou and become more powerful.
Cao Cao saw that there was still no smile on Guo Jia's face, so he suppressed his smile, his narrow eyes flashed, and said: "Fengxiao, I want to be promoted."
Guo Jia was startled and said, "Promoted? What promotion?" He and Cao Cao almost slept together. How could he not know about the promotion?
Cao Cao said: "Which official I will be promoted to is another matter for now. Do you believe in filial piety or not?"
Guo Jia frowned, thought carefully, and said: "With the current status of the general, Yanzhou has no place, and other states are not suitable. Is it to conquer Dong Zhuo?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No."
Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao's extraordinarily confident profile and looked puzzled, saying, "Are you going back to Beijing? No, Yanzhou can't do without the general now."
Cao Cao smiled more and more and said: "Fengxiao, we bet that within a month, there will be an edict!"
Guo Jia couldn't imagine what position Cao Cao would be promoted to, so he forced a smile on his face and said, "What are you betting on, general?"
"If I lose, I will give you ten jars of fine wine. If I win, I will honor you by giving up drinking for a month." Cao Cao said.
Guo Jia looked towards Luoyang, with a relaxed expression, and said: "That must be Luoyang's good wine!"
"It's a deal!" Cao Cao laughed.
In fact, he couldn't give any specific reason, but he had a strong feeling in his heart that he was about to be promoted and might do something great!
Guo Jia didn't speak any more. He was very curious now, what exactly was His Majesty planning?
At the same time, Yingchuan County and Xu County.
Xu County is located at the junction of Sili, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and its geographical location is very special.
Dozens of miles outside Xu County, Wen Chou and Zhang Miao rode horses and slowly headed towards Xu County.
Wen Chou was a head taller than Zhang Miao, and his horse was half a head taller, so he turned to look down at Zhang Miao and said, "Don't worry, Prefect Zhang. My lord has said that he will be the prefect of Yingchuan for the time being. He will invade Luoyang one day and Fuzheng Jun As soon as he succeeded, he asked Governor Zhang to be the shepherd of Yanzhou."
Zhang Miao has a long beard, round face, and small eyes. At first glance, he looks like a peaceful little old man.
Zhang Miao remained calm, looked straight ahead, and said, "Are you really going to Luoyang?"
Wen Chou looked leisurely and contented, and said: "It's just a matter of scaring the little emperor in Luoyang City. Let him transfer Xu Rong of Shenyuan Pass, Gongsun Zan of Yangcheng, and Dong Zhuo of Chen State back. Yuzhou will be ours."
Zhang Miao sat on the horse with no emotion. He looked straight ahead and said, "I want to go to Xiapi."
Wen Chou didn't know what he meant, so he smiled and said, "I will report it to your lord. However, Prefect Zhang still needs to make some contributions."
"Dong Zhuo?" Zhang Miao said without moving his head.
Wen Chou didn't dare to look down on Zhang Miao. This man's words always hit the point, and he simply said: "That's right. My lord, please invite Governor Zhang to flank Dong Zhuo."
"Okay." Zhang Miao responded without any hesitation.
Wen Chou glanced at him, feeling a little suspicious.
"Report to General Zhonglang, a troop of men and horses appeared twenty miles in front and blocked the way!" Suddenly, a scout cavalry ran up and shouted loudly.
Wen Chou raised his head and looked up, without any panic, and said: "In addition to Gongsun Zan who is huddled in Yangcheng, there are also soldiers and horses in Yingchuan? How many people are there?"
The scout came to him, jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Zhen Zhonglang came from Xu County. At present, there are about three thousand people."
"Xuxian County?" Wen Chou became more and more confused, and immediately snorted coldly and said: "Are you from Gongsun Zan? A person with a false reputation! Today, I will dedicate his head to the lord! Send an order to the whole army to speed up the march!"
Zhang Miao didn't care either. There were nearly 12,000 of them, and there were only 3,000 people who didn't need to care at all.
Wen Chou took the lead and went straight to Xu County.
An hour later, Wen Chou sat on his horse and saw the army on the opposite side from a distance - forming a four-figure formation. At a glance, there were at least eight thousand people. In front of the formation is a young man with a white horse and silver armor, holding a spear, facing each other from a distance.
"Haha, is Gongsun Zan alone? He actually sent such a young boy to fight."
Wen Chou laughed, and slowly moved forward with a small number of troops.
Zhao Yun also did not lead many people, less than 500 people, and Wen Chou came close.
Wen Chou held a big spear, pointed it at Zhao Yun, and shouted: "Who is coming? The nameless ghost will not die under Wen's spear!"
Zhao Yun hit the horse, turned the spear above his head, and said loudly: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, you died under Zhao Zilong's spear in Changshan!"
Wen Chou sneered and rushed over.
"mighty!"
The soldiers behind both sides waved their weapons and shouted in unison to cheer for their general.
The horse galloped, the hoofbeats sounded like drums, and in a blink of an eye the two men were in front of them.
"Take your life!" Wen Chou shouted, holding spears in both hands and slashing at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun stepped on the stirrups with both feet, bent his waist, and dodged the spear. The spear was like lightning and stabbed towards Wen Chou fiercely.
Wen Chou's eyes were wide open, and he had no time to dodge, and watched helplessly as the gun tip penetrated his throat.
"Death!" Zhao Yun used his strength and pierced Wen Chou's throat, knocking him off his horse.
The hundreds of people behind Wen Chou were shocked. Who would have thought that General Wenzhong, who was so brave that they defeated Hua Xiongdu and fled, was not the enemy of the young man in front of him!
After a brief period of panic, the five hundred people quickly turned their horses and fled in panic.
"The thief is dead, kill him!"
Zhao Yun picked up Wen Chou's body with a spear, beat the horse with all his strength, and shouted loudly.
"kill!"
The morale of the Imperial Guards behind Zhao Yun was high and they quickly followed.
Not far away, I thought Wen Chou would easily defeat the young man in silver armor, but he never expected to be defeated so quickly!
"withdraw!"
Zhang Miao turned around and ran away without saying a word.
How could Zhao Yun let him go? The army rushed to pursue him.
Zhang Miao's army had no fighting spirit and fled and collapsed, looking like a one-sided massacre.
Zhao Yun covered up and killed all the way from outside Xu County, and almost chased him to Changping. It was not until Yuan Shu's reinforcements arrived that he could withdraw his troops.
Along the way, many Zhang Miao's troops were gathered, which expanded to 13,000 people.
Zhao Yun returned his troops and stationed himself in Xu County, waiting for orders from the Grand Sima Mansion.
Zhao Yun didn't know that Wen Chou was famous for defeating Hua Xiong, and he never wanted to be killed by him. In just one day, the news spread around Yingchuan.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhonglang became famous in this battle!"
In the palace, in the palace garden, Xun You said behind Liu Bian.
Liu Bian walked in front and was in a particularly good mood. He went straight to the small pavilion and sat down. He smiled and said: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, how can you live up to your fame? Sit down."
Huangfu Song, Xun You, and Zhong Yao thanked each other and sat down. Zhong Yao looked solemn as usual and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhao Zhonglang killed the rebel general Wen Chou with one blow. This will definitely boost the morale of the army. They will garrison Xu County and form a line with Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo. The governor of Jingzhou Wang Rui is behind the scenes, and we can annihilate Yuan Shu and other traitors soon!"
Liu Bian poured the tea calmly, and after hearing Zhong Yao's probing intentions, he raised his eyelids and looked at Huangfu Song and Xun You.
The two of them did not shy away and looked directly at Liu Bian, trying to read something from Liu Bian's expression.
Liu Bian immediately smiled and said, "Who are the three Qing family members?"
Xun You took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, since the rebellion of the traitor Yuan Shu, the hearts of the northern states have been unstable, and rebellions have arisen one after another. The Yellow Turban bandits from the Black Mountain Army, Qing, Ji, Xu, and Yan have risen with the wind, and the rebel forces have With more than one million, Yuan Shu must be eliminated as soon as possible to calm people's hearts."
Liu Bian drank tea and knew in his heart that the three people in front of him were all smart people. He had repeatedly suppressed the imperial court's strategy of conquering Yuan Shu and sent Dong Zhuo as a troublemaker, which had already aroused their suspicion.
'It's just that they shouldn't have thought of my purpose, right? '
Liu Bian remained calm and nodded: "That makes sense. What do the three Qing family members mean?"
Xun You and Zhong Yao were both a little nervous, but they bit the bullet and raised their hands and said in unison: "Your Majesty, I and the others have requested a strict order from Dong Zhuo. If there is no more results within three days, he will be punished with the same crime of treason. Order Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun to join forces. , flank to assist Dong Zhuo. Order Wang Rui to send troops to attack Runan County. Order Cao Cao to send troops to Xuzhou to recover Xiapi, Guangling and other places!"
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows. Such a long sentence was spoken so neatly. It was obvious that he had rehearsed it before.
"What do Huangfu Qing's family mean?" Liu Bian looked at Huangfu Song with a normal expression.
Huangfu Song bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty and there is not much money and food left. It is best to make a quick decision."
When Liu Bian heard this, his eyes were half-closed, and he slowly leaned back, his eyes moving around on the faces of the three of them.
