Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 430 Taking back Luoyang without a single soldier (six more)

Chapter 434 Taking back Luoyang without a single soldier

Lu Hun Pass.

Xie An looked at the sky, he watched Ran Ming and Ran Min slowly disappear from sight, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

The situation in Wei State is extremely complicated now.The new state of Wei is brewing a new fission.

If Ran Min passed away, Ran Wei's regime would definitely not be handed over smoothly.There will be a fierce confrontation between the aristocratic family represented by Ran Zhi and the merchants and humble scholars represented by Ran Ming.

Factional disputes within the Wei State were unavoidable for the Xie family. The Xie family had to either withdraw completely, or carefully consider the issue of standing in line.

If you withdraw from the Wei State, you will continue to be in the Jin Dynasty.

Although doing so is in line with the golden mean, it is wise and safe.However, once Ran Zhi takes power smoothly, or Ran Ming makes a strong counterattack and takes power in the Wei State regime, as long as the Wei State regime survives the dangerous transition period, the Xie family will be excluded from Wei State's core interest circle in the future.

If you stand on the sidelines, although this is safe, it is not good for the long-term development of the Xie family.

Xie An is familiar with the development trend of China's history, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, and during the Civil War.Basically, the forces in the west defeated those in the east, and the forces in the north defeated those in the south and finally completed the unification.

The only time in history that reversed the historical trend was when Zhu Yuanzhang used Jiangnan as his base and successfully resisted the Yuan Dynasty!Of course, Chang Shenkai also succeeded in the hot weapon period, even in name.

Because the state of Wei occupies Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Qingzhou, these four states not only produce elite soldiers from all over the world, but also have a huge horse breeding base.

In ancient times, it was an extremely important strategic material.Only with huge cavalry can it have sharp attack power.Taking [-] steps back, no matter how dangerous the situation in Wei State is, as long as they avoid entering the Guanzhong area, they can remain invincible.

Unless they Wei Guoguo produces a licentious and senseless king, who wastes all the popular prestige established by Ran Min, then there is no possibility of Wei Guo's rise.

However, Xie An painfully discovered that both Ran Zhi and Ran Ming were smart people and would not make these fatal mistakes.Besides, both of them are very young and have enough time to complete the great cause of reunification.

Just when Xie An was thinking about it, General Dong Run said, "Mr. Anshi, Run has a question and wants to ask for advice!"

Xie An smiled and said, "Could it be that the general wants to ask Zhang Yu why he rebelled?"

Zhang Wenwen and Dong Run looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Xie An unexpectedly: "How did Mr. Anshi know?"

Xie An smiled slightly, and said: "It's actually not difficult to guess about this matter. As a Hussar General of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhang Yu was ranked in the second rank of Wu Xun. There is really no reason to rebel. To anyone, this matter is very It's a very big question. So it's not surprising that An Neng guessed it!"

Xie An continued to explain: "I met someone in Luoyang before, who do you think it is?"

Dong Run asked in surprise, "Could it be someone from the Jin Dynasty?"

"The general is wise!"

Xie An knew Wang Xiu, and actually had a lot to do with his uncle Liu Tin.

Liu Tun's younger sister is Xie An's first wife, and Liu Tun is a famous talker in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Liu Tun's wife is Sima Nandi, the daughter of Emperor Jinming, and she is a sister to Huan Wen's wife.This Liu Po ​​had a good relationship with Wang Xiu's father, Wang Zhongzu.

Because of Liu Bin's relationship, Wang Zhongzu usually took his son Wang Xiu to participate in the talks held by Xie An. Wang Xiu's intelligence and erudition left a deep impression on Xie An.

Although Wang Xiu is smart, he has a fatal personality flaw just like the historical Yang Xiu with the same name.That is arrogance of talent, although it is not a big fault to be arrogant of talent, but Xie An doesn't like Wang Xiu very much.It's just out of courtesy for Liu Tin's sake.

This time he came to Luoyang to pay a visit to Xie An. In detail, Xie An didn't think of the real reason why Wang Xiu came to Luoyang.When Dong Run raised this question, Xie An naturally thought of this key figure!

"It turned out that the Jin Dynasty instigated Zhang Yu?" Dong Run took a deep breath when he heard the news, with an angry expression on his face.

"The so-called loyalty is actually not enough chips for betrayal!" Xie An said flatly: "In An's opinion, the Empress Dowager Chu should offer enough price, enough for Zhang Yu's heart."

Li Ying, Lieutenant of the Yueqi school, held up the one-horned bronze sheath, and shouted to the sky: "Zhang met a dog thief, I will smash your body into thousands of pieces!"

Seeing Dong Runyi's indignation, Xie An persuaded: "General, there is no need to be angry. This is just An Shi's guess, and it cannot be taken as true without evidence!"

At this moment, Zhang Ping handed Xie An a note that he had just written. "Wang Xiu of the Jin Dynasty is in the hands of someone!"

Seeing this note, Xie An was very puzzled.

Zhang Ping picked up his pen again and explained.

Wang Xiu, who thought he entered Luoyang without anyone noticing, was actually discovered by Luoyang's "deaf and dumb" just after he entered the city. Dumb" spying on this person.

It turns out that Wang Changchang changed his face again and met Zhang Yu.

Ran Min guessed that the Jin Dynasty must be waiting for an opportunity to instigate Wei's subordinates. If Murong Chui's assassination hadn't happened, Ran Min would have ten thousand ways to make Zhang Yu want to die.

It's a pity that Ran Min arranged all kinds of means, but because of this assassination, he was stillborn.

However, "Deaf and Mute" followed the original deployment and secretly captured Wang Xiu who had left Luoyang.This is also because there were not many manpower in Luoyang to capture Wang Xiu. When Ran Min was assassinated, "heavenly deaf and dumb" played a very significant role.

When Zhang Ping brought Dong Run, Zhang Wen, Li Ying, and Xie An to the manor outside the city where Wang Xiu was secretly imprisoned, he could hear Wang Xiu yelling from afar, "What is your intention? Generations, I am Wang Xiu, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River! Do you want to be an enemy of the scholars in the world by doing this?"

"Bah!" A guard scolded Wang Xiu: "You are a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River? You are like a dog, and you shamelessly put gold on your face. Your shoulders are too small to replace the scholars of the world. Killing is nothing but killing." Like a dog, dig a hole and bury it casually, who can find you?"

There is a saying that a scholar meets a soldier, and the reason is unclear.

People who are rough never talk about big things, they only use their fists.

Wang Xiu can only eat and hold back.

The guard punched Wang Xiu more than a dozen times in a row, and Wang Xiu's toughness came up. He stiffened his neck and said: "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. Xiu only wants to die quickly!"

"If you want to die, it's not that easy!" the guard asked, "Quickly tell us why you came."

"Er, I want to get some useful half-words from my mouth!" Wang Xiu spat blood from his mouth, showing a ferocious smile.

"I think you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" The guard picked up the whip and beat Wang Xiu like a violent storm. In a short while, Wang Xiu's body was completely shattered.

When Xie An and the others arrived in the dungeon where the air was turbid, Wang Xiu had already been knocked out.

Zhang Ping made a gesture of "wake him up" to the guard.

The guard understood, so he just picked up a bucket of cold water from the side and poured it on Wang Xiu's head.

It was early winter at this time, and although it wasn't dripping into ice, it was still extremely cold.The sound of splashing water resounded, and Wang Xiu was awakened.

Wang Xiu looked up at the dark dungeon. In fact, his eyes had already adapted to the environment. He could vaguely see things in the dark. At this moment, he saw five figures appearing in the dungeon.

Four of them were dressed up as majestic generals, with the only exception being the scribe who was about seven feet six inches tall.

Finally, Wang Xiu saw the scribe's face clearly.Wang Xiu exclaimed, "Mr. An Shi, why were you arrested by them? Could it be that Ran Min's assassination was just a play by Ran Min, and Zhang Yu had already failed?"

After all, he is still young, and the shortcoming of young people's lack of composure is fully manifested in Wang Xiu.

In fact, there is no need to ask now, Dong Run and Zhang Wen already know the answer they need.

Xie An saw the murderous look in the eyes of Dong Run and Zhang Wen, he sighed secretly, and said to Dong Run and Zhang Wen: "General, General Cheqi. Please take a step to speak!"

Although Xie An didn't like Wang Xiu, he didn't want to see Wang Xiu die. After all, he was the son of Liu Tin's friend, and he didn't want Wang Zhongzu to be sent to a white-haired man by a white-haired man.

Dong Run and Zhang Wen followed Xie An to the outside of the prison. Dong Run shouted at the soldiers around him: "Decree, no one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps around! Anyone who violates the law will be shot!"

"Now, Mr. Anshi has something to say, but it's okay to say it!" Dong Run turned to Xie An and said.

Xie An showed an inscrutable smile and said, "Does the general want to take back Luoyang and capture Zhang Yu?"

Dong Run gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you think that countless soldiers of our Great Wei died in vain, and Run can't wait to eat their bones and drink their blood!"

However, Dong Run immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Unfortunately, Luoyang City is now under the control of Zhang Yu, and those soldiers who don't know the truth are used by Zhang Yu's thieves to attack Luoyang. It is obviously unrealistic. It is impossible to rely on us soldiers and horses alone Take Luoyang!"

Zhang Wen said: "As long as His Majesty recovers, this misunderstanding will naturally be resolved. At that time, Zhang Yu will definitely have no good end. As long as the rebellious officials and thieves who betrayed the Great Wei, they will definitely regret it by then!"

Xie An said lightly: "If the general trusts An, An can not only take back Luoyang City, but also capture Zhang Yu without a single soldier!"

Zhang Wen said excitedly: "Is this really true?"

"Of course it's not a joke!" Xie An asked back, "General Cheqi looks like he's joking?"

After a short period of excitement, Dong Run calmed down and asked, "What's Mr. Anshi's plan?"

Xie An waved his hands and said, "I don't dare to think of a clever plan. It's actually very simple. Just shoot the news of Zhang Yu's defection to the Jin Dynasty into Luoyang City in the form of arrows. If you instigate Zhang Yu's rebellion, then you must have a letter from Zhang Yu surrendering to the Jin Dynasty. As long as you get this letter, it will be self-evident who is loyal and who is treacherous!"

"But, that Wang Xiu is a rare tough guy!" Zhang Wen said, "Iron Man can't bear to be beaten like that. But he doesn't speak half a word!"
