villain

Chapter 432
I made a small mistake yesterday, Zhu Huan is not Zhu Zhi's son, one is from Danyang, the other is from Wujun...

But Zhu Ran, originally surnamed Shi, should be Zhu Zhi's adopted son.At least in some materials, it is said that Zhu Zhi is Zhu Ran's father.

--------------------------

"Dong thief reinforcements?"

Zhou Yu felt a little unbelievable, and stared at Xia Houyuan and the others with wide eyes, "How could there be [-] people?"

Xia Houyuan smiled wryly and said: "How do I know? The river is full of Dong thief's boats. There are three or four thousand ships, large and small. It is impossible to see how many soldiers and horses the opponent has? Fifty thousand, I am afraid there are still a few." less."

Zhou Yu couldn't help looking at Sun Quan.

And Sun Quan ignored Zhou Yu at all, but talked softly with others.

Liu Bei said at this time: "General Xiahou's words are not bad. When Dong's reinforcements appeared at that time, Bei was also deeply surprised. Although Dong's thief had been trapped to death on the mountain, the trapped beasts were still fighting, and his soldiers were fierce. It is astonishing. If we persist, our troops will be flanked by internal and external attacks as soon as Dong's reinforcements arrive, which is extremely dangerous."

It's not that Zhou Yu doesn't believe Xia Houyuan's words, but Liu Bei's words seem to be proving something for Xia Houyuan on the surface, but in fact there are murderous intentions hidden.His explanation, on the contrary, seemed that Zhou Yu didn't trust Xia Houyuan very much.

Xia Houyuan glanced at Liu Bei, but did not speak.

And Zhou Yu just smiled slightly, and didn't speak again.

The two counterattacked Liu Bei's poisonous move in a different way.Aren't you eloquent?It doesn't matter, you just say it, we don't hear it.Sometimes, the more silent you are, the more uncomfortable you will feel.

Liu Bei is also a smart person, so he was silent at the moment.

At this time, Sima Yi, who had never shown his true self, stood up and said in a deep voice, "General Xiahou may have been fooled!"

Xia Houyuan was taken aback, "Took it?"

Sima Yi said: "Based on young generals, there are not many soldiers in Hanoi. Huang Zhong used half of his troops in Yanjin, and Director Chunyu was just about to move in Pinggao. In addition, Fangding in Hanoi also needs troops to garrison, so Dong Thief's reinforcements must be There will not be 2. Presumably it is a bluff, using suspicious tactics to confuse General Xiahou, and it is only [-].

This Sima Yi was born in the Hongnong Sima family and was the second son of Sima Fang.

About ten years ago, Sima Fang got Zheng Tai's order, and Yang Zhen tried to attack Dong Bi at Caoyang Pavilion. He didn't want Dong Bi to see through the plot, so he fought back, not only killing Yang Zhen and Yang Xiu's grandson, but also captured Hongnong in one fell swoop. , Kill Sima Fang outside Hongnong City.Later, in Hongnong City, Dong Bi went on a killing spree and almost slaughtered the entire Sima family.

At that time, Sima Yi and his brother Sima Lang happened to be in Runan and escaped.

And among his brothers, only the youngest brother survived.It's just that after Sima's family had an accident, there was no contact.

However, although the Sima family was wiped out, Sima Lang was already famous.

Relying on the relationship between his parents and his wife's natal family, Sima Lang sent Sima Yi to Shuijing Villa to study, while he himself lived in a hut outside Xiapi City, silently observing the development of the situation, looking for a lord who could avenge him .

In the end, Sima Lang chose Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei was still penniless at the time, and even carried the name of a rebel, who would really care?

The hatred between Liu Bei and Dong Bi is difficult to reconcile.

He is the only one who can fight Dong Pi desperately without dying.

Sima Lang conspired to make Liu Bei gain a firm foothold in Xiaopei, and later managed to make Liu Bei become Liu Xuan's son-in-law, which also made a big difference in name.It can be said that Liu Bei's ability to capture Xuzhou has a lot to do with Sima Lang.

And Sima Yi is no less inferior to Sima Lang.

When he said these words, he not only reconciled the somewhat weird atmosphere in the hall, but also pointed the finger at Xia Houyuan.

That means: You are the coach, if you make a mistake in judgment, of course you will bear the crime.

Zhou Yu waved his hands and said, "Now is not the time to argue about right and wrong...Thief Dong must have seized Ping County, and Ping Yin has become a horn of horns, and the tiger is looking at Luo Yang. No matter how many soldiers they have, Dong Xiping is better than him." One hundred thousand troops...General Xiahou, I plan to use Luoyang as the battlefield to confront the Dong bandits, and I also ask the general to garrison Beiman Mountain."

Xia Houyuan nodded, "Yuan should obey the command of the general."

Should I say that Xia Houyuan admires Zhou Yu very much?

Of course that's impossible...Xia Houyuan is much older than Zhou Yu, and in his eyes, Zhou Yu is just a yellow-mouthed child.

But the problem is that Cao Cao ordered Zhou Yu to supervise the battle against Luoyang, and gave the Qinghong Sword as a gift, which can be cut first and played later.

This is also the tone set at the beginning of the alliance.Before the battle, Cao Cao told Xia Houyuan to cooperate with Zhou Yu.

Xia Houyuan may be upset with Zhou Yu, but he has nothing to say about Cao Cao's explanation.

Therefore, when Zhou Yu appointed him, Xia Houyuan immediately agreed without showing any displeasure.

Zhou Yu glanced at Liu Bei, but suddenly smiled and said, "There are two key points in this battle, one of which is to ensure that I have no worries about food and roads. Today's Jingzhao is surrounded by concentrated forces, but the center is empty. Beware of Dong Xiping's decision. The way to get food. Dong Xiping mainly uses surprise attacks and guerrilla attacks, so he has to guard against them. Yu asked Duke Xuande to garrison the new city. I don’t know what Master Xuande wants?"

This new city is located in what is now Songxian County, Henan Province.

From here to the east, there is the important point of Sanguan that goes directly to Yingchuan, and to the west is Luhun Pass, which is very important to watch over the supply line of Jingzhao.

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Bei with a smile in his eyes.

Liu Bei didn't change his expression, he intervened and responded, "Beiding will keep the new city safe."

"Since this is the case, Yu has to thank you for your troubles. If this battle is successful, it will give us a chance to breathe."

At this time, a small school came in from outside.

Whispered a few words in Zhou Yu's ear, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, Dong Xiping didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands. The soldiers and horses who crossed the river from Hanoi were only 8000."

"what?"

Xia Houyuan couldn't help but stare his eyes round, filled with regret in his heart.

If there were only 8000 people, how could he prevent the opponent from going ashore, and attack the mountains at the same time, maybe he had already captured Dong Pi.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "General Xiahou, don't be upset, there are unpredictable changes in this battle. It is difficult to tell the truth from the false in a hurry. Even if Yu was there at the time, I am afraid that he would not be able to see through Dong's tricks. But in the future, it will not be possible again. There was an oversight."

In a word, Xia Houyuan developed an infinite fondness for Zhou Yu.

******
Chang'an, drizzling.

Early in the morning, as soon as the gate of Naha City was opened, a group of iron cavalry rushed towards Chang'an City like lightning.

"That person just now seems to be General Dian Wei?"

"Seems to be……"

"These two days are really lively. Governor Chen of Liangzhou arrived suddenly the day before yesterday, and General Dian Wei also rushed over today."

"Maybe, something big is going to happen!"

"Shut up, if you have something to say, just say it, and don't say it if you don't dare to say it. Our duty is to guard the city gate, and other things have nothing to do with us. Besides, when the sky falls, there is a big governor to support it. What are you guys thinking about?"

A doorman shouted in a low voice, and the surrounding doormen immediately fell silent.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion located on Zhangtai Street is overcrowded at the moment.

Cai Yan looked at the people in the room distressed, a bit dumbfounded.While Chen Gong was at the side, he was embarrassed.

Chen Dao was arguing fiercely with Pang De, and both of them wanted to lead the army to join the battle in Luoyang.

The news of Xia Houlan's defeat of Yanshi has already spread to Chang'an City.

Liu Bianwen couldn't help turning pale when he heard the news, and sat in the hall, speechless for a long time.

Long before the defeat of Yanshi, Dong Bi sent someone to send a letter to Liu Bian, asking him to remind Xia Houlan not to act rashly.

It's a pity that Liu Bian at that time was also dazzled by Xia Houlan's victory, so he ignored it.

Now that the bad news came, Liu Bian panicked and didn't know what to do.Fortunately, Dong Bi rescued Xia Houlan and opened a line of defense between Ping County and Gucheng in Pingyin.At this time, Liu Bian had two choices, one was to retreat, and the other was to fight Cao Jun in Luoyang.But this kind of thing is not something he can decide.

Chen Gong understood what Dong Bi meant!
Although Dong Bi was very angry at Xia Houlan's defeat this time, he still wanted to help him save the defeat.

Because Liu Bian had just ascended the throne, the fate of the royal family was there, if he just retreated to Guanzhong like this, it would be very embarrassing for his face.

What's more, there is Yuan Shao watching over Hebei.

If he showed any weakness, Yuan Shao might be stimulated to change his mind and join forces with Cao Cao to retake Hanoi that he had just occupied.Therefore, although Dong Bi didn't say anything, judging from his actions in Jingzhao, Chen Bing is enough to explain everything.

This battle must be fought!

But there is a problem, the begging army is in Bingzhou, and the Jiefan army has just arrived in Xihe.

Chen Dao was the governor of Liangzhou, but the Wunan Army was in Hanzhong.You Yijun was unable to support the battle in Hanoi alone.

The selection camp still needs to stabilize Hanoi, and it is not easy to transfer.

Where to send troops?Who can do it?
Dong Bi did not explain, but Chen Gong had to think carefully.But who knows, Dong Bi set up a stall in Luoyang, and the whole Guanzhong knew about it.Chen Dao, Zhang Yun, Pound Quyi and others who are familiar with Dong Bi's temperament are gearing up one by one.

No, first they quarreled in the Chengming Palace, and now they quarreled in the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang He said: "I choose the front army to send troops from Jiguan, and increase troops to Hanoi. The [-] selection front soldiers are ready to send troops."

Don't look at Pound and Zhang Yun who have been partners for many years, but at this time, they will never back down.

"Are you the only one who chooses the vanguard? My Lanchi camp has 12 soldiers and horses, and they can go out at any time."

Chen Dao frowned, "Ling Ming, how can Lanchi camp defend Chang'an so easily? I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate..."

"Good, good, very inappropriate!"

As soon as Zhang He saw Chen Dao speak, he immediately regained his spirits.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dao said again: "The frontier army can send troops from Hanoi at any time, but Yuan Shao in Jizhou also has to be on guard. If you send troops, who will guard the east of the river? In my opinion, it is better for me to fight with the white army. Now that Liangzhou is stable, it is difficult for the Tabai Army to do anything... Besides, the Lord transferred the Tabai Army to Chang'an before, and I am afraid that this is what he meant."

"Shut up!"

Zhang He Pound was furious!
Qu Yi said gloomyly at this time: "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter whether you step on the white army or choose the front army, you can't quench your thirst if you are far away. There are still 20 soldiers in my Xin'an camp, plus [-] Beiwei troops. It is enough to deal with the [-] Cao army in Luoyang."

Chen arrived and the three of them immediately besieged Qu Yi.

Cai Yan was dizzy from the quarrel... She didn't understand why men always want to send troops to fight?
Ah Chou is like this, and his two ugly boys are also shouting every day to help their father.

Now a group of people jumped out, shouting and shouting...

It's all for you to shout and kill, why do you want me, a woman, to be the master?How can I do this kind of thing, Lord.

At this moment, a roar was heard from outside the door.

"I don't care who leads the army, anyway, this time, I, Dian Wei, must be counted...Who dares to stop me from trying?"

Before the words finished, Dian Wei strode into the house.

Behind him, Niu Gang followed Dian Wei closely with a gold-plated bamboo whip in his arms.

The bamboo-jointed whip was a weapon given to Dian Wei by Dong Pi, and it was said that it was made for the convenience of him presiding over the camp at Chongquan.But looking at this posture, it is clear that whoever dares to stop me, I will hit anyone.As soon as Dian Wei came in, everyone immediately shut up.

Who is this?
This is the uncle!

Dong Bi's sworn brother...

When Chen Gong saw Dian Wei, his head buzzed and he was stunned!
Why did this master come to join in the fun?You still think the city of Chang'an is not chaotic enough, don't you?Why are they running here!

"Sister-in-law, please judge me. My brothers are fighting outside, and my five sons have also made great achievements. But I want to stay in that bird place in Chongquan...Look, look, my stomach The fat is almost coming out."

Dian Wei patted his stomach as he spoke.

When Cai Yan saw it, she was speechless...

"Generals, don't worry. The palace has already sent people to Luoyang to ask for the meaning of the dispatch of troops. The governor will probably respond within a few days. Generals, don't bother me here. lady."

Chen Gong feels aggrieved!

Just quarrel when you quarrel, it's fine if you quarrel in my Chengming Palace, why do you bring the mistress into it?
But this complaint can't be uttered. The people in the room are all old people who are Dong Pi's confidantes, and they have much higher qualifications than him.Now, I can only wait for the lord's ruling, presumably when the time comes, I can make proper arrangements.

"The decree has arrived!"

There was a shout from outside the door, and everyone couldn't help but startled.

Seeing Yi Huangmen walking into the house holding the imperial decree in his hand, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that everyone was there.

"The emperor knew that the generals would be here, so he ordered his servants to deliver the decree, which was announced by the governor's military order."

"what?"

Chen Dao and the others hurriedly got up and saluted.

There are two copies of the imperial decree. The first one is that Liu Bian appointed Dong Bian as Guang Luxun, the governor of the three armies, and all the soldiers and horses of the governor. Ask for instructions.

Although Dong Bi already had this right, but this time, Liu Bian justified Dong Bi's name.

Then there was a series of personnel transfers, mainly including several aspects: Chen was removed from the post of governor of Liangzhou, and Zang Ba, the prefect of Mobei County, took over.The post of prefect of Mobei County was held by Yan Wen, but belonged to Pang Zhizhi, prefect of Shuofang.

Mobei County mainly includes a piece of land on the Mobei Plateau.

The population is not too large, and Zang Ba has managed it for several years, and it can be regarded as a big improvement.Yan Wen was a person that Niu Fu valued in those days. Since Dong Zhuo's death, he has been following Dong Bi, and he can be regarded as a person Dong Bi can trust.

However, Yan Wen's talent is insufficient, and it is difficult to govern a county.

So under the jurisdiction of Pang Yu, although both of them are prefects, the status of Mobei County is similar to that of county-level cities in later generations.

And Zang Ba's talent and learning are no problem for the governor.

Tiaowudu General Wen was hired as General Lanchi, and the town was Chang'an.He appointed Jia Long as the prefect of Wudu and Yan Pu as the prefect of Hanzhong.

In the first year of Jian'an, Huo Jun, who arrived in Chang'an with Pang Tong, has made outstanding contributions in the past four years and has been promoted to captain.This time, he was transferred to Hedong by Dong Pi, and led the soldiers and horses in Chongquan to confront Yuan Shao's army.

He ordered Chen Dao, the commander of the Tabai Army, and Qu Yi, the commander of the Beiwei Army, to leave Hangu Pass and station troops in Gucheng.

He ordered Dianwei to be the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Rong Army, and he was ruled by Pang De.He ordered Pang De to raise a total of [-] troops from Xin'an Camp and Weinan Camp, and the troops left Luhun Pass.

Next, there was another series of mobilization of soldiers and horses, which made everyone ecstatic.

As soon as Xiaohuangmen finished reading the imperial decree, Dian Wei stood up and shouted excitedly: "I knew that my brother would not forget me. Lingming, this time you are the commander and I am the vanguard. Xin’an is within your reach.”

However, others frowned.

Chen Gong let out a long sigh in his heart: My lord, my lord, you don't hesitate to spend [-]% of the troops in Guanzhong to occupy Luoyang, what is the purpose?Do you really want to build up your achievements and regain the Eastern Capital, or is it because of the brotherhood?
