Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 90 Deliberately making things difficult
Luoyang, the once prosperous capital of the Han Dynasty, is now in ruins.

When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he forcibly robbed Luoyang of gold, jewellery, cultural relics and books, burned palaces, temples, government offices and homes, and coerced millions of Luoyang residents to go west together, resulting in the desolation and desolation of Luoyang. Repopulated.

Later, the alliance army disintegrated after Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo asked the general Guo Si to lead the army to garrison Luoyang as a barrier.Although the allied forces formed by the Eighth Route princes are falling apart, Cao Cao, who is gradually growing in power, has made a comeback.

At this moment, Luoyang City is full of desolation, and the smoke before the war is filled.Every day, tens of thousands of coolies are forced by Guo Si to carry sand and stones and build defenses to defend the city.

Regarding Chen Wei's army coming, Luoyang City's reaction was unexpected, and no one greeted them.General Guo Si didn't even see Chen Wei because of his busy military affairs, which made the generals of the Chang'an reinforcements very dissatisfied.What's even worse is that Guo Si only sent one general over to directly transfer more than 3 soldiers under Chen Wei's command on the grounds that the situation of defending the city was critical, and blatantly took away the soldiers from Chen Wei's hands. military power.The next day, Guo Si sent someone to pick up Dong Bai again, very forcefully.

Chen Wei was particularly puzzled by Guo Si's intentional making things difficult.In the end, Chen Wei finally understood Fan Jian's explanation.It turned out that Zhang Ji and Guo Si were friends of eight worshippers, and Zhang Ji died at the hands of Chen Wei during the battle for leadership. Guo Si must have hated himself.Moreover, Chen Wei also learned that Guo Si had proposed to the grand master several times to marry Dong Bai as his wife. Even though Dong Bai refused, Dong Zhuo finally agreed to Guo Si in order to win over Guo Si, because he wanted to be stationed It was difficult for Luoyang to get out, so the marriage contract was postponed. Obviously, as long as Cao Cao was defeated this time, he could return to Chang'an to complete the wedding.

Chen Wei didn't expect Dong Bai to hide this matter from himself.No wonder when Guo Si sent someone to pick up Dong Bai, Dong Bai had no choice but to leave with that hint of resentment in his eyes.

Chen Wei couldn't help smiling wryly, he never thought that he and Guo Si had already formed a relationship before meeting each other.

On the evening of the third day, Guo Si finally summoned Chen Wei and other Chang'an generals.

When he saw Guo Bang, he was sitting on a big tiger-skin chair, holding a wine jar in one hand, and a roasted leg of lamb in the other. His mouth was full of oil, and he looked at Chen Wei in the hall coldly.

Chen Wei also took the opportunity to look at Guo Bang.Guo Si was between thirty and forty years old. He was tall and tall. He was taller than Chen Wei. His hands and feet were extremely thick, his face was thick and thick, his shoulders were broad and his eyes were like copper. Ling, with a sinister and cunning look, has a majestic appearance, exuding an evil and terrifying charm.

Just judging from the opponent's aura, Chen Wei understood why Guo Si was so valued by Dong Zhuo, and he was appointed as a general and stationed in Luoyang.

Yan Shou and Guo Si are both veterans who have followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and they have known each other for a long time. He immediately acted as a middleman and introduced Chen Wei to Guo Si.

After Guo Si glanced coldly at Chen Wei, he looked at Yan Shou, frowned, and said in a thick voice, "Why did Grand Master Dong send this person? Before Luoyang arrived, [-]% of the soldiers were already lost?"

Yan Shou's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Guo Bang to attack Chen Wei as soon as he came up, he immediately knelt in front of Guo Bang and pleaded guilty: "General, our army is in ambush in the midst of chaos, and it is the fault of the last general that we lost our troops and lost our generals. It has nothing to do with General Chen!"

Guo Bang raised his brows, and said with a sneer, "How are you, Yan Shou, you actually took all the blame on yourself, but as the chief general, do you think he can shirk his responsibility?"

Hearing this, Chen Wei couldn't help but frowned slightly. What happened in the past three days made him feel dissatisfied. He was ridiculed by Guo Bang again tonight, and he kept silent all the time. He finally said lightly: "In this case, the general also shirked it. An irresponsible responsibility!"

Duan Yan, Guo Bang's deputy general, was furious, pointed at Chen Wei and cursed: "What kind of person are you, dare to accuse the general?"

Chen Wei glanced at Duan Yao, and said indifferently: "I am a Hussar General, and in terms of official rank, it is not your turn to judge me anyway."

Guo Si raised his hand to let Duan Yao back down, instead of being angry, he looked at Chen Wei with a smile, "I would like to hear your reason."

Chen Wei said neither humble nor overbearing: "We are in ambush in Sanjiao Mountain, and the ambush is Zhu Jun's rebel army, but we have not obtained the slightest information from Luoyang."

Guo Si laughed angrily, and slapped the table to stand up: "Presumptuous, Zhu Jun retreated to Hulao Pass, how could he appear in Sanchao after Luoyang?"

"That's exactly what I want to ask the general." Chen Wei raised his chest and asked.

"What evidence do you have?" Duan Yan scolded: "It is clear that you were not effective in leading the army and were attacked by bandits, but you claimed that you were ambushed by Zhu Jun's rebels. Obviously, it is to clear your name!"

"Need evidence?" Chen Wei said calmly, "The bones at the foot of Sanjiao Mountain are not cold yet, the general can send someone to see if the dead enemy soldiers are bandits or Zhu Jun's rebels."

Guo Si's long and narrow eyes stared at Chen Wei, emitting a gloomy light.

Chen Wei looked at him without flinching.

The murderous intent in Guo Bang's eyes became more and more intense, and finally he waved his sleeves and said with a loud smile: "I will not pursue this matter with you for the time being, but now that Cao Cao's army is approaching the city, I would like to ask you what countermeasures you have?"

"I have never tolerated mediocrity around me, I hope your answer can satisfy me." Guo Si walked up to Chen Wei with his hands behind his back, looked at Chen Wei indifferently, and the aggressive aura on his body turned towards Chen Wei, domineering .

Seeing that Guo Si knew he was wrong, Chen Wei deliberately changed the subject, and the real meaning of the last sentence was naturally to warn Chen Wei that if he couldn't answer this question, he would let himself pick up the burden and leave!
Chen Wei sneered in his heart. These days, he and Jia Xu had discussed many times about this confrontation with Cao Cao, and he said calmly, "Cao Cao has newly recruited 30 Qingzhou soldiers, plus the old team. The total number is probably between 40 and 50. Although there are many soldiers and generals, but he has Jizhou Yuan Shao on the top and Yuan Shu on the bottom, and he has newly occupied Xuzhou and Qingzhou. People's hearts are not stable and he has to garrison most The troops have been defending against the Yuan brothers and the rebellious troops in the territory, so the troops Cao Cao sent to attack Luoyang must not be many, and the journey is far away. As long as we stick to Luoyang, Cao Cao will run out of food and grass within three months, and we will retreat on our own!"

Guo Si narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Wei, acquiescing to Chen Wei's strategy in his heart, but on the surface he said coldly: "Three months? What if Cao Cao doesn't retreat after three months?"

"If Cao Cao does not retreat, there is only one possibility left. He will concentrate on capturing Luoyang in the near future." Chen Wei said.Obviously, Cao Cao had too many worries, and he would definitely not besiege Luoyang for a long time. This would only give the Yuan brothers an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Cao Cao would definitely have thought of this with his resourcefulness.But one variable that worried Chen Wei was: Zhuge Liang!
Surprisingly, an invincible "Zhuge Liang" appeared next to Cao Cao. This was what Chen Wei was most worried about!

At this time, Duan Yao smiled disapprovingly and said, "Cao Cao had been attacking the city for half a month before you came, but apart from the loss of soldiers and generals, our Luoyang is still impregnable. We can only defend like hell, it's superficial!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but speak for Chen Wei when he heard the words: "If we take the initiative to attack, it will be in Cao Cao's arms. We should rely on the high wall of Luoyang City to defend, consume the vitality of Cao Jun, and force Cao Jun to retreat. It is us. The best way to defend Luoyang."

"Who is this son?" Guo Si asked dissatisfied.

Jia Xu's family name is unknown, so naturally he is unknown to everyone, so he introduced himself: "My subordinate, Jia Xu, is General Chen Shi's military advisor."

Guo Bang smiled coldly, "According to what you said, Luoyang has already been destroyed..." After finishing speaking, Guo Bang glanced at Chen Wei, and said mockingly: "There are useless people around you, Miao Lun is wrong!"

Jia Xu's expression turned ugly, and she retreated behind Chen Wei.

Before Chen Wei could speak, Guo Si had already issued an order: "Chen Wei, I will order you to lead [-] soldiers and horses to attack Cao Jun's grain and grass at noon tomorrow, otherwise you can come to see me with your own head!"

The faces of Jia Xu, Fan Jian and others behind Chen Wei changed drastically. Guo Si's move was obviously to send Chen Wei to his death.However, their official positions are low, and they dare not speak out when they are angry.

Chen Wei's face was also slightly ugly, seeing that Guo Bang's eyes were full of teasing, he knew that if he didn't accept the order, the other party would definitely hold him accountable for violating military orders.

"Your subordinates take orders!" Chen Wei was furious in his heart, but he could only clasp his hands and say.
