Great Military Division

Chapter 421 Concealing the sky and crossing the sea!

Sili, right Fufeng.

On the official road leading to Chang'an.

A team is running fast.

After defeating Gao Ji and Wang Jin's team, Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces to kill all the ambush soldiers along the way to ensure the safety of the rear, before embarking on the road to Chang'an.

It is precisely because of this that a little time for the march was delayed. To this day, the team is still in Youfufeng, not in Jingzhaoyin, let alone arrived in Chang'an.

but
In Xun You's heart, this rhythm is just right.

After all, most of the troops of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and His Majesty the Emperor were infantry.

However, His Majesty the Emperor came from Wuguan Road, and the road was rough and difficult, which would inevitably affect the speed of marching.

Only by reducing the speed and stabilizing the rear can we better complete the established strategy of encircling Chang'an.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

On this day, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were marching, received a report from the assassination in Chang'an, which immediately made Xun You feel that something was not right.

"The dark cave was actually destroyed by Yuan Kui?"

Even Xun You himself couldn't help being taken aback.

Although, this secret cave was not created by him, but it was perfected by him.

Xun You has devoted a lot of effort to the secret hole of the Chang'an School Office, and he is also very familiar with its internal operating mechanism.

According to common sense, before the enemy makes a move, there will always be corresponding signs, and based on such signs, the secret cave can plan an evacuation plan in advance so that it will not be completely wiped out.

In other words, this matter must have been sudden, otherwise, operating the system based on the content of the dark hole should be able to perfectly avoid the attack.

"Yes."

The man who escaped from the dark cave said with absolute certainty: "The Chang'an court suddenly took action against the poultry breeder, whether it was stabbing or not, they will be arrested."

"There are hundreds of carrier pigeons in the dark cave. According to the speed and strength of this sorting, it will definitely be exposed. Therefore, Li Shaoshi ordered me to burn all the materials and escape from Chang'an through the secret passage."

"But."

Speaking of this, the man frowned slightly, and said with a sad expression: "After Li Shaoshi burned all the materials, he took some Tingfeng and died in Chang'an along with the guards in the dark cave."

"If they hadn't fought desperately with the enemy, maybe we might not have been able to escape from Chang'an, but even so, there are still many Tingfeng who were caught by Chang'an thieves, and they should be under investigation now."

Han Sui was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? Someone has been arrested? Will that reveal the secret?"

Xun You waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Don't worry, even Tingfeng who works in the dark cave, only a very small part can get in touch with the core. They are all the most loyal people, and they should not leak secrets in a short time."

"Oh."

Only then did Han Sui secretly heave a sigh of relief: "This is very good, otherwise, if our plan is exposed, the other party will definitely take corresponding measures, and we are very likely to miss out."

Ma Tengen nodded: "That's right, as long as we don't leak the secret, we can kill Yuan Kai's troops and buy time for His Majesty and Uncle Liu to come here."

"Do you really think that Yuan Wei doesn't know our strategic purpose?"

Xun You turned his head and glanced at Ma Teng and Han Sui, frowned slightly, stared at the two of them and said, "It has been several days since we set off from Longxian County, and the four armies have joined forces to attack Chang'an. The strategic intention is very obvious."

"This"

Han Sui nodded slowly, and said softly, "That's true."

Ma Teng clenched his iron fist: "The military master is right. If that's the case, let's go on as usual, can't we?"

Xun You took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, his mind was spinning like lightning, "Yuan Kai used this method to destroy the Chang'an secret cave, there must be some important action, and he doesn't want us to know."

"This person has been away from the court for decades. How can he be so easy to plan such a thorough operation to usurp the Han? We must not let our guard down."

"The destruction of the Chang'an secret cave is equivalent to blinding our eyes. We must resume investigation as soon as possible, so as to judge Yuan Kai's real purpose through clues."

Han Sui immediately understood what Xun You meant: "Don't worry, the military commander. Our scouts have been active all the time. I will immediately increase the number of scouts and expand the scope of investigation to the vicinity of Chang'an."

"it is good."

Xun You nodded: "Brother Wen Yue, if you can do this, it will be the best."

Han Sui immediately ordered: "Come here, quickly mobilize 200 people to act as scouts, and the scope of investigation is around Chang'an. Once there is news, report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes."

The messenger bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Here."

Xiliang Xiaoqi are all cavalry, and scouts and soldiers can be switched at will.

If there are not enough soldiers, scouts can be converted into soldiers; if there are not enough scouts, soldiers can also be converted into scouts.

They are different from the princes of the Central Plains, because of the lack of horses, the number of scouts is limited.

"Target Chang'an, continue marching."

Han Sui beckoned, and ordered clang.

The team continued to run towards Chang'an.

About an hour or so.

"Report—!"

Come on a horse.

Between the Mercedes-Benz, billows of smoke and dust were rolled up.

Han Sui raised his eyes and said, "It's our scout."

When he stepped forward, without waiting for the other party to salute, Han Sui took the initiative to interrupt with a wave of his hand, and asked: "There is no need to be too polite, what's the matter, just speak up."

"Here."

The scout reined in the horse, responded, and said directly: "The villain explored all the way to the vicinity of Huaili, and found that there was a soldier and horse resting, and most of them were cavalry."

"Oh?"

Han Sui was taken aback for a moment, and asked anxiously, "Cavalry?"

Ma Teng was also a little dazed: "Could it be that this team wants to take the initiative to fight us?"

The scout said softly: "It is indeed a cavalry, and judging from the flag, it is very likely that it is a general under Dong Zhuo's tent, and now the General of the Guards of the Hanting in Chang'an, Fan Chou."

hiss-!
Ma Teng and Han Sui were astonished, and they both gasped: "Dong Zhuo's old department?"

The scout nodded affirmatively with a sound of grace: "That's right, exactly."

Only Xun You was relatively quiet, as if he had expected it: "Yuan Kai has no generals to use now, and it is reasonable to use Dong Zhuo's old department."

"After all, Dong Zhuo's former army and Nanyang are inseparable. If Nanyang takes Chang'an, they will also face a dead end. Only by joining hands with Yuan Kai can they have a way out."

"Yes."

Han Sui said deeply, "That's true. Yuan Kai is at the end of his rope. If Dong Zhuo's old troops are not used, he will have to go to the battlefield himself."

"but."

Ma Teng picked up the conversation, frowned and said, "Fan Chou led the troops to fight us, what is that scholar Sun Rui doing? You know, he is Yuan Kai's confidant, and Fan Chou is just a puppet."

Xun You marveled at Ma Teng's acumen on the battlefield, and said calmly, "That's right, Fan Chou and Xiliang Xiaoqi are obviously rushing towards us, trying to buy time for their real actions."

"so."

Xun You glanced at Ma Teng and Han Sui: "We must defeat Fan Chou in the shortest possible time, quickly approach the rear of Chang'an, and cooperate with Your Majesty to fight."

Han Sui had already known Xun You's military ability, so he cupped his hands together and said, "Military Master, tell me, brother Shoucheng and I will listen to you, and we will do what you tell us to do."

After capturing Gao Ji alive, Ma Teng completely convinced Xun You. He also patted his chest and assured him: "That's right, Brother Wen Yue and I are all at your command, you just give orders."

Xun You didn't have much information for the time being, but he was very clear about the current situation and firmly believed in his own judgment on the situation. Therefore, after a moment of pondering, Xun You said decisively:

"In any case, this battle is unavoidable. Let's rush to Jing Zhaoyin first and fight Fan Chou decisively. Don't be restrained by him. We will make a decision after we have more information."

Han Sui and Ma Teng clasped their hands together: "Here."

******
"The soldiers and horses from Nanyang are coming? Let's run away quickly."

"War! It's war again! It was good to chase after us before, but we have to wait a year or so until we've stabilized before chasing us."

"Damn it! I'm going to run away all my life? From Luoyang to Chang'an, where will I go from Chang'an this time? Longxi?"

"Many people have gone into the mountains, let's go too, and come out after the war is over."

"This battle should end soon. How can Chang'an be Nanyang's opponent?"

"Escape to Nanyang, the welfare of the people in Nanyang is good."

"That's what I thought too. Let's go together, so we can take care of you on the way."

"Damn it! Fighting every day is really terrible."

"Bring your things and follow me into the mountains!"

"."

In just a few days, the whole of Chang'an has fallen into chaos.

Looking at Wu Yangyang's people who left Chang'an, Shi Sunrui said with some incomprehension: "Yuan Lingjun, not only did we not stop them, but instead encouraged the people to leave Chang'an, isn't this courting death?"

"Humph."

Yuan Ji snorted softly, turned his head and glanced at Shi Sun Rui: "General Shi, you don't understand this. Only when Chang'an is in chaos can we leave without anyone noticing."

"Ah, this"

Shi Sunrui was a little confused, and couldn't help being curious: "Yuan Lingjun, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that we are not going to fight Nanyang in Chang'an, but are leaving Chang'an?"

At this point, Yuan Ji didn't need to hide anymore: "Chang'an can't bear it at all. Our only way to survive is to jump out of the encirclement circle set by Nanyang, otherwise we will just linger on."

"Jump out of the encirclement?"

Shi Sunrui naturally knew that it was Han Sui, Ma Teng, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and His Majesty the Emperor Nanyang, the encirclement formed by the five armies. They were narrowing the area little by little, trying to trap Yuan Kai to death in Chang'an.

but
Shi Sunrui frowned, and couldn't help being curious: "This is easy to say, but difficult to do. I'm afraid we have no other way to go, so we can only stick to Chang'an."

"No!"

Yuan Ji denied without hesitation: "Now that King Hongnong has left Nanyang with his elite soldiers and horses, Nanyang is already empty, and it is time for our army to take the initiative to attack."

"Although Chang'an has become prosperous after two years of development, compared with Nanyang, it is like a firefly compared to a bright moon, and a nasty horse compared to a unicorn. The two are so different that it is difficult to compare them."

"If we can enter Nanyang, guard Wuguan, move the capital to Nanyang, and then use the imperial power to recruit the Yin family, Deng family, Feng family, Li family and other aristocratic families, at least guard Nanyang, there will be no problem in a short time .”

hiss-!
Shi Sun Rui was surprised and gasped.

He couldn't believe it.

Yuan Ji would have such a bold idea, at this critical moment, want to change home with Nanyang?

Shi Sun Rui turned his head to stare at Yuan Ji, and said with a look of disbelief, "Yuan Lingjun, do you agree to this matter?"

Yuan Ji nodded and said with absolute certainty: "Of course, I have already agreed. Why, does the general have a different opinion?"

Shi Sun Rui quickly shook his head: "How dare you! Yuan Lingjun's strategy is excellent, but the Wuguan Road is rough and difficult. We are afraid that once we enter it, Hongnong's reinforcements will come back immediately!"

"That's right!"

Yuan Ji said with absolute certainty: "If our soldiers and horses enter Wuguan Road, King Hongnong will definitely come back, but if it is the common people of Chang'an, it may not be so."

"what?"

Shi Sunrui suddenly realized: "So you did this because you wanted to."

Yuan Ji smiled lightly: "Some elite soldiers have already mixed into the ranks of the common people. They will go to test it first. If they can pass, we will leave. If not, we will find other ways."

Shi Sunrui frowned and pondered for a long time: "His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is known for his diligence and love for the people. No matter where the people are, they are the people of the great Han. They will definitely not embarrass the people."

"And even if there are soldiers and horses stationed at Wuguan, they will definitely open the gate to welcome the people who fled from Chang'an, and even give food and send people to settle down."

hiss-!
After thinking up to this point, Shi Sun Rui already understood Yuan Ji's strategic intention: "Yuan Lingjun is really powerful, and I will admire you in the end."

The corners of Yuan Ji's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared: "Okay, now the people in Chang'an are already panicking, we have to hurry up, you send a few capable people to pretend to be ordinary people and go in first, the clothes are already worn out. It's ready, it's in the arsenal."

"it is good."

Shi Sunrui nodded without hesitation: "I will send the most capable generals there, Yuan Lingjun can rest assured."

Yuan Jien said: "In that case, please."

Shi Sunrui cupped his hands: "I will stick to my wish, but I dare not ask you."

*****
Chang'an Palace.

Chongde Hall.

The little emperor Liu Xie took a piece of coarse cloth, looked it over carefully, and sighed: "Teacher, I am also the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, how can I wear such clothes?"

Tai Fu Yuan Kui could not understand the little emperor's intentions, he bowed and said softly: "Your Majesty, now that King Hongnong is leading several troops, we must jump out of the encirclement, otherwise there is only a dead end."

"What is the meaning of this, Taifu?"

Liu Xie frowned, and asked back: "You mean, Brother Huang will harm me, won't you?"

Yuan Kai did not answer directly, but said coldly: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one country cannot accommodate two monarchs."

Liu Xie sighed: "This emperor was not what I wanted. If Dong Zhuo hadn't been Dong Zhuo, I would not have been the emperor. The Emperor of Han originally belonged to the emperor's brother. Now it is reasonable to return it to the emperor's brother." middle."

"I advise the Grand Tutor not to take it too seriously. If the emperor's brother really enters Chang'an, I will give up the throne to protect the integrity of the Taifu's family. I think the emperor will always give me this face, won't he?"

Yuan Kai's brows flickered slightly sullen: "Your Majesty, since King Hongnong established a separate Han Court, he has already abandoned everything in Chang'an Han Court, including you and all civil and military officials."

"Now, Hongnong Wang Bingfeng is pointing directly at Chang'an. Do you think he will easily bring the old ministers of Chang'an under his command again? We have no way out. From the beginning, it has been gone."

"There must be a battle between you and King Hongnong. This battle is related to the future ownership of the great man. There is no peaceful coexistence, and only you live and die. This is the reality."

"Don't you want to avenge Beauty Wang?"

Yuan Kai took out his trump card and went straight to Liu Xie's heart: "It was Empress He who killed Wang Meiren back then. Originally, Her Majesty would also be killed by this murderous hand. If it wasn't for Queen Mother Dong, Your Majesty would have died."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, a faint ruthlessness welled up in his heart.

He naturally knew what happened back then.

Dong Zhuo told him about this matter. Originally Liu Xie didn't believe it, but after the testimony of Taifu Yuan Kai and relevant veterans, Liu Xie already believed this fact.

This is the main reason why the northern and southern Han courts did not merge after Yuan Kui killed Dong Zhuo. Parents' enmity is irreconcilable, even for the royal family.

But
Along the way, Liu Xie has clearly realized the strength of Nanyang.

This emperor brother of mine is no longer the original emperor brother, his strength is far beyond his imagination.

Even Yuan Kai, who gathered Dong Zhuo's old troops, still failed to share the same popularity with Nanyang.

Since the Battle of Hedong, it has been at the bottom of the peak, and now it is even more difficult to reverse the defeat, but it is only possible, not inevitable.

In a sense, when Liu Xie refused to wear the clothes of ordinary people and crossed the sea without telling the truth, he had already determined in his heart that Yuan Kai was definitely not the opponent of the emperor's brother.

Since he is definitely going to lose, why bother to struggle too much?
If he voluntarily surrendered, at least he could still become the King of Chen Liu.

However, Yuan Kai poked his heart straight, and Liu Xie was shaken again: "Your Majesty, Hongnong King is no longer the original Hongnong King. He can be benevolent to anyone, but he will never be benevolent to His Majesty."

"Because you have already become the emperor, and after Dong Zhuo's death, you didn't take the initiative to send someone to ask for a merger. It means that in King Hongnong's heart, you want to compete with him."

"He will never let you go!"

"You can only move forward, not backward!"

"."

The old fox is worthy of being an old fox.

His words were like sharp knives, piercing Liu Xie's heart fiercely.

Poor Liu Xie is only 11 years old, and he hasn't even formed the basic three views, so how can he resist Yuan Kai's fooling around like this.

After a while, Liu Xie completely gave up the idea of ​​surrendering. His mind was full of the death of his mother, Wang Meiren, and the scene of him confronting his brother.

"Master."

Liu Xie looked up at Yuan Kai, and asked tentatively, "How sure are you this time?"

Yuan Kai did not give an answer directly, but pondered for a moment, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The old minister will do his best, and even if it fails, he will live and die with His Majesty, advance and retreat together."

"Not only the veterans, but also the civil servants and military generals in Chang'an, all of them will live and die with your majesty, advance and retreat together, and we have always been one."

Liu Xie, who was sitting at the top, frowned and thought for a long time, then he got up and opened his arms. The little yellow gates on the left and right immediately stepped forward to take off his crown robes and put on the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people.

"Teacher, when are we leaving?" Liu Xie tried to ask.

"The sooner the better." Yuan Kai replied.

"I follow your arrangement."

"Here."

******
Wu Guan Road.

Usually on the way to Yaoguan.

The team moved slowly, very carefully.

Looking at the steep mountains on both sides, Liu Bian unconsciously felt a little apprehensive.

According to experts from the Military Division Alliance, the Wuguan Road here belongs to a relatively primitive period and has not been widened in the later period, so it is very steep.

Even the experts in the Military Division Alliance felt that the uncanny workmanship of nature was terrifying, but the more it was like this, the more they admired it, and marched from here to the team in Chang'an.

One word: dangerous!

Guo Jia seemed to have sensed His Majesty's thoughts, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, when we pass through Shang County and arrive at Gaoguan, we can enter Lantian Valley, and it will be truly safe there."

"kindness."

Liu Bian was naturally aware of this.

As long as you pass the Gao Pass, in a sense, you have entered the Guanzhong Plain, and it is no longer such a dangerous narrow passage.

But
Liu Bian's mind is not on this, but on Yuan Kai's conspiracy: "Although nature is dangerous, it is not as dangerous as the human heart. I am not afraid of the danger of nature, but the danger of human heart."

Guo Jia looked around and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have already been confirmed by someone. If there is an ambush, we will definitely get the news in advance."

"Report—!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another announcement from the front door.

Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment.

This shit, it's really the rhythm of slapping the face.

Could it be that there is really an ambush ahead?
Look up.

However, he came riding Juechen, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, military advisor, report back on the horse, there are a large number of people fleeing from Chang'an in front of you."

"The people who fled?"

Suddenly, Guo Jia was taken aback.

Liu Bian was even more taken aback!
At this time, is it possible to escape from Chang'an?

Liu Bian glanced at Guo Jia, seeing the same suspicion on the other side's face, he said immediately: "Have you sent someone to inquire about the situation?"

"kindness."

The scout nodded and replied: "It is said that Chang'an is in chaos, and the people around are fleeing. Many people consider that Nanyang's welfare is good, and His Majesty is a good emperor who is diligent and caring for the people, so they want to go straight to Nanyang from Wuguan Road. Seek protection."

Before Liu Bian could speak, Guo Jia asked, "How many people are there?"

The scout paused for a moment: "There are many, probably tens of thousands."

Guo Jia immediately realized something was wrong: "Your Majesty, this matter is strange, and I'm afraid there will be problems."

Liu Bian frowned, and asked softly, "How do you say it?"

"It's simple."

Without hesitation, Guo Jia blurted out: "Chang'an is obviously in a weak position. According to the normal situation, we must appease the people's hearts, fortify the walls and clean up the wilderness, and bring the people into Chang'an, even if they carry food, grass and defense equipment."

"but."

Guo Jia said coldly: "Yuan Kai didn't do this, but let the people's hearts be chaotic, and the people fled everywhere. This will only make the situation in Chang'an more unstable."

"We have to guard against it!"
