Three Kingdoms King of the North

Besides, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty drove all night with Jushou and Xiahou brothers and sisters. Although it was not the first time to go out, the carriage with poor shock absorption still knocked him out of order.He felt a little unbearable, so he opened the curtain, and said to Xia Houyun who was following beside the car: "Miss Xiahou, I really can't bear it, can you tell the Ju Supervisor Army to find a place to rest before leaving?"

Seeing Emperor Han Xian's pale face, Xia Houyun felt that he might really be unable to bear it, so he rode his horse to Jushou's side, and told Jushou the request of Emperor Han Xian.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jushou shook his head and said, "No, if what you expect is correct, Li and Guo will soon find out that Shengjia is missing, and they will definitely send people to chase after him. If they send messengers to notify Hanguguan first Guard, close the pass, and we will be unable to escape."

Xia Houyun felt that what Jushou said was very reasonable, so he returned to Emperor Xian's car and repeated Jushou's original words to him.Fortunately, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been in a position of being bullied since he came to the throne, so it has long been common for others not to obey his arrangements.Seeing that Jushou didn't agree to stop for a rest, he could only sigh, and went back to the city to rest.

Ju Shou and others hurried on with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Li Jue and Guo Si also set off from Chang'an with cavalry.On the east side, the three thousand cavalry led by Han Zhan also arrived only twenty miles away from Hangu Pass.

"What, there is such a thing?!" What the Marquis said shocked Li and Guo, and he quickly ordered the Marquis, "Bring that servant here."

A moment later, the Marquis Jun approached the big tent with a panicked servant.As soon as the servant saw Li and Guo sitting in the middle, he knelt down on the ground with a puff, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The two generals spare your lives. It's not that you want to deceive the two generals. It's Wang Yun who forced me."

When Li Jue learned that the servant in front of him was the one who pretended to be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to deceive him last night, he couldn't help becoming angry. He got up and took out the sword from the sword stand, strode to the servant, raised the sword high, and prepared to Split the waiter into two pieces with a sword.

"Keep people under the sword!" At this moment, Jia Xu's voice suddenly came from the door of the big tent: "General Zhiran, wait a moment, keep people under the sword."

Li Jue lowered the sword in his hand, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Why did the military master intercede for this servant who pretended to be a holy driver?"

"This person can't be killed!" Jia Xu came to Li Jue and said to him and Guo Si in a low voice: "Yesterday in front of Xuanping Gate, the Holy Majesty granted the four of you officials and titles. If you kill this person, then Naturally, the rewards last night are countless. It is better to make a mistake and put this person under house arrest in the barracks, and let him use the name of the holy driver to stabilize the court situation."

After listening to Jia Xu's suggestion, Guo Si first expressed his opinion: "Zhiran, I think what the military adviser said is very true, we should just make mistakes!"

Li Jue put away his sword, and said to the Marquis who escorted his servants in, "You are so brave, you dare to be so rude to His Majesty. Come here!" Following the shout, two big and round men came in from outside. personal soldier.

Li Jue pointed at the Marquis, and said to the two soldiers: "Drag this man out and punish him with fifty punishments!"

Hearing what Li Jue said, the Marquis Jun was dumbfounded. He didn't know what he did wrong, which made Li Jue furious, but he didn't kneel down and beg for mercy, but let his soldiers drag him out of the tent to be tortured.

After the Marquis was dragged out, Li Jue bent down to help the servant, and said with a blunt smile, "Your Majesty is shocked. The person who offended you has already been dealt with by my servant. You should stay in the barracks and wait for the city to Let's talk when the situation inside is stable." After speaking, he shouted out of the tent again, "Come here!"

He said to the two soldiers who came in this time: "You two find a quiet place and take His Majesty there to rest. Without my military order, you can't leave Your Majesty for half a step, understand?"

"Your order." The two soldiers agreed, stepped forward to support the servant, and left the tent.

After the fake Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty left, Li Jue turned to Jia Xu and asked, "Military Master, what should we do next?"

"This fake emperor can only deceive for a while, and after a long time, his flaws are bound to be exposed." Jia Xu twirled his beard and said, "Our top priority is to find out as soon as possible, which princes robbed the holy car. "

Regarding Jia Xu's guess, Guo Si asked curiously: "Why does the military adviser think that the princes sent someone to rob the holy car?"

"It's very simple," Jia Xu replied, "According to what the servant said just now, Shengjia was robbed from the palace shortly after our army broke through the city. Let me ask, if it is not a prince along the way, how could he be capable?" How about sneaking into the palace and robbing the holy car?"

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Guo Bang nodded, and then asked: "Which prince does the military adviser think will be the one who robbed Shengjia?"

"If anyone is suspected the most, it's the two brothers Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu." Jia Xu said thoughtfully: "The Yuan family has four generations and three generations, and has many disciples. As long as we welcome the holy car to the area controlled by them, Then they will have the strength to fight against us, and they can call all the princes from all walks of life to attack us in the name of the emperor at any time."

Hearing that he might be besieged by princes from all walks of life, Li Jue couldn't help being confused, and he quickly asked Jia Xu: "Military teacher, how should we deal with it?"

"It's thousands of miles away from Chang'an to Yecheng or Shouchun. If you don't have ten days and a half months, you will definitely not be able to reach the place." Jia Xu sneered and said, "Just send a messenger and order the guard at Hangu Gate to close the city gate. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Then we will send cavalry to chase and kill them, and we may be able to stop this group of people outside Hangu Pass."

"The military master's words are very good." Guo Si waited for Jia Xu to finish speaking and applauded repeatedly, and then said to Li Jue: "Children, it is not too late. We will immediately send messengers and order strict inspections at the passes along the way. We must not let the holy Flee to Yecheng or Shouchun. Then you and I will lead the cavalry to pursue!"

After making up his mind, Li Jue sent people to Hangu Pass and ordered the guards to close the pass. At the same time, he summoned his generals and prepared to lead his troops to chase the fleeing Han Xiandi.

Besides, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty drove all night with Jushou and Xiahou brothers and sisters. Although it was not the first time to go out, the carriage with poor shock absorption still knocked him out of order.He felt a little unbearable, so he opened the curtain, and said to Xia Houyun who was following beside the car: "Miss Xiahou, I really can't bear it, can you tell the Ju Supervisor Army to find a place to rest before leaving?"

Seeing Emperor Han Xian's pale face, Xia Houyun felt that he might really be unable to bear it, so he rode his horse to Jushou's side, and told Jushou the request of Emperor Han Xian.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jushou shook his head and said, "No, if what you expect is correct, Li and Guo will soon find out that Shengjia is missing, and they will definitely send people to chase after him. If they send messengers to notify Hanguguan first Guard, close the pass, and we will be unable to escape."

Xia Houyun felt that what Jushou said was very reasonable, so he returned to Emperor Xian's car and repeated Jushou's original words to him.Fortunately, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been in a position of being bullied since he came to the throne, so it has long been common for others not to obey his arrangements.Seeing that Jushou didn't agree to stop for a rest, he could only sigh, and went back to the city to rest.

Ju Shou and others hurried on with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Li Jue and Guo Si also set off from Chang'an with cavalry.On the east side, the three thousand cavalry led by Han Zhan also arrived only twenty miles away from Hangu Pass.

Chapter 212

After the guard sent someone to send Han Zhan and others to the post house, he didn't invite Han Zhan to his mansion for a banquet, but just brought them some food and wine, which was regarded as entertainment.

Han Zhan sat in his room, thinking about how to capture Hangu Pass.Rob, who was accompanying him, stood aside with his head bowed, not saying a word, for fear of interrupting Han Zhan's train of thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Zhan raised his head and looked out the window. Seeing that the sky had darkened, he turned to Rob and asked, "Rob, how do you think we should capture Hangu Pass?"

Rob didn't expect Han Zhan to ask himself this question suddenly, and he couldn't help but look a little flustered.He scratched the back of his head and said, "My lord, in my opinion, we rushed directly into the guard's mansion, put a knife on his neck, and asked him to open the city gate and let our soldiers and horses pass."

"What about after our soldiers and horses have passed?" Han Zhan looked at Rob and asked blankly: "Are there any guards left here? If there are few people left, it will be difficult to control the entire Hangu Pass; if there are many people left, go to meet them." The soldiers and horses of the Jujian Army will appear insufficient."

After waiting for Han Zhan to finish speaking, Rob smiled and said, "My lord, I'm actually a big bastard. I don't understand if you ask me these things. In my opinion, you should make up your own mind."

Considering that his identity is too sensitive, Han Zhan estimated that he would be watched as soon as he left the gate of the post house, so he told Rob: "Rob, go to the city and find out who else is in the pass besides the guards." Can order the defenders."

After Rob took the order, he turned around and walked out of the room. Han Zhan looked at his back and thought, there are only two ways to control this level. One is to use force to control the guard as Rob said just now, forcing him to release his soldiers. The horse passes through Hangu Pass; another way is to find a way to replace the guard, and this person must be friendly to himself and allow his soldiers and horses to freely enter and exit Hangu Pass.

Fortunately, Rob's work efficiency is very high. Less than half an hour later, he hurried back from the outside and told Han Zhan: "My lord, I found the deputy general in the pass and brought him here. .”

Han Zhan just asked Rob to inquire about the news in the pass, but he didn't expect that he would bring a person back on his own initiative.Han Zhan frowned, and asked with some displeasure, "Rob, who did you bring back?"

"That man is the deputy general in the pass," Rob noticed the dissatisfaction on Han Zhan's face, and quickly replied respectfully: "This man was originally a subordinate of Dong Bandit's son-in-law Niu Fu. Wang Yun has been relegated to Hangu Pass to serve as the deputy general guarding the pass."

"Niu Fu's subordinates?" Hearing what Rob said, Han Zhan couldn't help asking in wonder, "This is wrong, Li Guo and others sent envoys to ask Wang Yun for forgiveness of their capital crimes, but Wang Yun refused to forgive them. Why did Dong Zhuo's son-in-law's subordinates go to such an important pass to serve as the deputy guards? Isn't he afraid that this person will have malicious intentions and let the princes from all walks of life enter the pass?"

"My lord," Rob waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and then said cautiously, "Although this man is Niu Fu's subordinate, he is also the father of the current emperor's favorite concubine, and he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. Wang Yun arranges him like this. Makes sense too."

"He is a relative of the emperor." Hearing what Rob said, a name suddenly appeared in Han Zhan's mind, but just to be on the safe side, he still asked tentatively, "What is his name?"

"He said that his surname is Dong Mingcheng, and he is the head of the country today." After Rob finished speaking slowly, he asked cautiously: "My lord, do you want him or not?"

"See, of course I want to see you." If it was someone else he didn't know, maybe Han Zhan would have asked Rob to send him away. Now that it was Dong Cheng who came, he was overjoyed. Asked: "Where is Dong Guozhang?"

A man in his 40s and dressed in military uniform turned out from behind the pillar next to him, and bowed to Han Zhan: "Your official, please refer to Jizhou Mu and Zhangshuitinghou."

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Han Zhan dared to ask Dong Cheng to give him a big gift, and quickly stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile: "Benhou has heard of the name of the head of the country a long time ago, and it is really nice to see him today." Naisansheng is lucky."

After the two entered the room, the host and guest sat down.Dong Cheng didn't go around in circles, but asked Han Zhan directly: "Tinghou came to Hanguguan, why do you not know?"

Seeing that Dong Cheng asked so directly, Han Zhan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the other party the whole thing: "To tell you the truth, the Marquis came to Hangu Pass with his troops to meet him."

"Welcome?" Dong Cheng couldn't help staring at Han Zhan's words. After a moment of silence, he said, "Now that the capital is under Wang Yun's control, if Marquis Ting wants to move Shengjia to the capital, it's probably not What an easy task."

Han Zhan guessed from Dong Cheng's words that the news of the siege of the capital had not yet reached Hangu Pass, which is why Dong Cheng's reaction was so indifferent.After coughing lightly, he said to Dong Cheng: "Patriarch, it seems that you have lived in Hangu Pass for a long time, and you are inevitably a little ignorant. Now the capital has been surrounded by a large army of Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou. , Breaking the city is only within ten days. Therefore, this Marquis is going to rescue Shengjia and move to Jizhou"

"Tinghou, please forgive my words." Dong Cheng didn't wait for Han Zhan to finish, and interrupted him, "I think Tinghou came here after a long journey, and he definitely didn't bring a large army, at most it was a few thousand cavalry. At this point, he intentionally paused for a moment to observe Han Zhan's expression. Seeing that the other party nodded in affirmation, he went on to say, "With your mere thousands of soldiers and horses, defeating the army that besieged the capital is tantamount to a dream."

Although Dong Cheng's words were a little blunt, Han Zhan knew in his heart that what he said was the truth.If I didn't know some history, at this moment, I still stay in Jizhou and bury my head in internal affairs without knowing anything.He waited for Dong Cheng to finish speaking, and then said: "My father-in-law didn't know something. I guessed that Li Guo and others would invade Chang'an as early as the day Wang Yun got rid of Dong Zhuo. , ordered them to try to rescue Shengjia before the city was broken, and send it to Jizhou. The Marquis was worried that their actions would not go well, so he personally led three thousand cavalry to help."

The reason why Han Zhan wanted to say this to Dong Cheng was because he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and secondly, he was the old father-in-law of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. If he could help him, he would surely get twice the result with half the effort.

Long after Han Zhan finished speaking, Dong Cheng was still in a state of shock. He didn't expect that Li Guo and others would raise troops to invade Chang'an, let alone that Han Zhan would plan ahead and arrange manpower in the capital in advance to take advantage of the fall in the city. During the chaos, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was robbed out.He felt like he was dreaming, and everything he heard with his own ears seemed so unreal.

Seeing Dong Cheng patting his cheek with his hand, Han Zhan asked with a smile: "Does the father-in-law feel that what he heard is too unbelievable, do you think he is dreaming?"

Seeing that Han Zhan guessed what he was thinking, Dong Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly.After a brief consideration, he decided to help Han Zhan, let alone Han Xiandi is his son-in-law, even if he is not, it is a bounden duty of a courtier to save him.So he looked at Han Zhan and asked, "Tinghou, what can I do for you?"
