The last three kingdoms

Chapter 575 Chen Qian enters the city
After receiving Sima Yan's secret order, Shi Bao immediately left Shouchun with 3 horses and headed towards Luoyang.

Although Sima Yan's secret order was very simple, Shi Bao smelled an unusual smell from it.The transfer to Beijing this time shows that the situation in Luoyang, the capital, has reached a very critical moment, otherwise Sima Yan would not have been able to mobilize troops from foreign domains.As a member of the Yan Party faction, Shi Bao naturally tied his official career, wealth, and life with Sima Yan, and everyone was prosperous, and everyone was hurt, so Shi Bao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately raised his troops and marched towards Luoyang.

When the messenger sent by Jia Chong arrived at Chenliu, he ran into Shi Bao's team head-on. When he learned that the situation in Luoyang was already in danger, Shi Bao didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered the Yangzhou troops to march overnight and rush Going to Luoyang, Shi Bao had already arrived outside the east city of Luoyang in the early morning.

At this time, Chen Qian, the governor of Yuzhou, and Yang Hu, the governor of Jingzhou, also rushed to the city of Luoyang one after another, and an army of one hundred thousand surrounded Luoyang city.When they were alarmed by the Luoyang incident, they did not dare to move lightly. The three governors held a meeting at Shiqiao in the east of Luoyang City to discuss countermeasures.

"It seems that we came a step too late. According to the secret report, the king of Jin has passed away. Marquis Wuyang led the imperial army to control the twelve gates of Luoyang and captured the palace of the king of Jin. The life and death of the son is unknown now." Among the three, Chen Qian was the most Older, so he spoke first.

Shi Bao said: "The forbidden army in the city is only 2 or [-]. We have an army of [-]. We can break through the city and enter Luoyang in a short time, and everything will come to light." He punched heavily on these cases, as if Luoyang City, like these cases, could be easily annihilated with a flick of a finger.

Yang Hu, on the other hand, looked dignified, and said with a little worry: "It is not difficult to conquer Luoyang, but the situation in the city is not clear now. If the prince is gone, Marquis Wuyang has already inherited the big position. If we go to attack the city now, it will be impossible for us to attack the city." It is different from plotting rebellion, which is the crime of killing the three clans, so we must be cautious when attacking the city."

The three of them came here under the order of Sima Yan, which means that any consequences will be borne by Sima Yan. If Sima Yan is dead now, then they must be responsible for their actions and mediate without authorization. If soldiers attack Luoyang City, it is almost no different from rebellion.Even if Luoyang City is captured, if they can't find Sima Yan, how will they bear Sima You's anger unless they replace him by themselves.Taking a step back, even if they have that kind of thought, after all, they only control a part of the soldiers and horses in the world. How can they convince the masses? Once all the soldiers and horses in the world attack them, their fate is self-evident.

Yang Hu definitely didn't have that ambition, Chen Qian didn't have that guts, and Shi Bao would have no guts even if he wanted to, so seeking power and usurping the throne was not in their consideration at all. They came here under the order of Sima Yan Come on, if Sima Yan is dead, this matter must be considered separately.

Chen Qian said in a deep voice: "The most urgent thing is to find out whether the son is alive or dead. That is to say, we must not act rashly before receiving the latest order from the son. Once we are charged with treason, you and I The three of them will surely die without a place to bury them."

Shi Bao said helplessly: "Now that the gates of Luoyang are closed, it is not easy to send people into the city, and it is not a good idea for us to delay for a long time under the city. What good plan does Mr. Chen have?"

Chen Qian pondered for a moment, and said, "Up to now, I am the only one who went into the city to find out."

Yang Hu was startled, and changed his expression slightly: "Mr. Chen can't do it. Now Marquis Wuyang is in control of the overall situation, and we are here at the order of the son, and we understand each other. Once we turn our faces, Mr. Chen will be in danger."

Chen Qian smiled slightly and said: "A certain important minister of the country came here in the name of King Jin's funeral. Although Marquis Wuyang knew it in his heart, he must have dared not move lightly. If he doesn't enter the tiger's den, how can he get a tiger's cub! Two, You just need to wait with your army, I will send a message from the city, if the son is safe and sound, I will fly an arrow to inform you, you just need to attack the city with all your strength, if there is something wrong with the son, you must stand still and wait for the opportunity .”

Shi Bao and Yang Hu also thought about it for a long time, and only Chen Qian's method is the best for the current plan. The army outside the city is staring at them, and Sima You may not dare to move Chen Qian. Although Chen Qian is in a dangerous place, he is very safe. Only by entering the city can we have the opportunity to find out what is true and false in the city, which will lay a good opportunity for the army's next move.

After making some simple preparations, Chen Qian came directly to the city with only a few followers. At that time, the gate of Luoyang City was closed and the suspension bridge was hanging high. Chen Qian and others stood by the moat and could not move forward. Standing outside the moat, shouted to the city.

Chen Qian walked through the upper east gate, and it happened that Sima You and Liu Yin were both at the upper east gate. When shouting from the city, Sima You saw that it was Chen Qian, the governor of Yuzhou, and said in a little surprise, "It's Chen Qian, why is he alone? Come here, what do you mean?"

Liu Yin didn't know Chen Qian, but he was well-known for a long time. Chen Qian's father was Chen Jiao, a former Situ. Chen Qian, who was born in a family of officials, was not exaggerated because of his family background. He was simple and steady, quite resourceful. Even Jia Chong, who is full of tricks, sighs to himself.He was Shang Shulang at the beginning, and successively served as the prefect of Zhongshan and Anping. He was famous for his good governance performance during his tenure.Later, he was conscripted as Xiangguo Sima and Changshi, then moved to Yushi Zhongcheng, and then moved to Shangshu, and was named Anguotinghou.He also used Shangshu to conquer the generals of Shu and defeated the Shu Han army.When Zhuge Dan rebelled, he took Shang Shu as General An Dong and led the army to seek peace.Afterwards, he worshiped Chijie and supervised the military forces in Huaibei, then moved to General Andong, became the Marquis of Guangling, and then transferred to supervise the military forces in Yuzhou and the governor of Yuzhou.

At the same time, Chen Qian is also one of the leaders of the Yan Party faction. Because he holds a heavy army, he has always been highly valued by Sima Yan. This time, Sima Yan secretly recruited Chen Qian among the three major governors in Beijing.

It stands to reason that Chen Qian, as the governor of Yuzhou, entered the city alone, and he came here at risk. Now the situation in Luoyang is becoming clearer. The entire Luoyang city has been controlled by Sima You. Besides, Sima You was beyond his reach. Just the [-] troops loyal to Sima Yan had already surrounded Luoyang to an impenetrable size. However, Qian came to the city alone, and it was difficult for people to know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
