[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Five days later, the school grounds.

Pei Yuanshao was supervising the daily training of the soldiers under his command when Mi Zhu came to visit suddenly.

He couldn't help but stop and walked forward, "Mr. Mi?"

"General Pei."

Mi Zhu clasped his fists and asked, "I went to the residence to meet His Highness. I heard that His Highness came to the school grounds early this morning. I don't know where His Highness is at the moment?"

"Oh, His Highness was still here just now, and now he's gone out, and he should be back in a while."

Pei Yuanshao said: "Mr. Mi is in a hurry? Do I need to send someone out to look for His Highness?"

"Since His Highness has gone out, he has something to do. I'll just wait here."

Mi Zhu smiled, and said again: "Did General Yang go out with His Highness?"

Pei Yuanshao nodded: "Yes."

Out of a competitive mentality, he couldn't help but put on a stern face, and pretended to be a little dissatisfied and asked: "Why, if you have something to ask Yang Zhen, can't you ask me, Pei?"

"What did the general say?"

Mi Zhu knew that the other party was joking, but he still explained: "It's a private matter for me to find General Yang."

private matter?Pei Yuanshao was taken aback for a moment.

The Yang Zhen he knew, His Highness was long and His Highness was short all day long, where did the private matter come from?

Mi Zhu saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "It's my younger sister who is pregnant, and I only received the letter today."

Only then did Pei Yuanshao suddenly realize that Yang Zhen was no longer alone.

For him, he was married before.

Pei Yuanshao couldn't help being a little envious.

Xindao, when he finishes his errands and returns to Yangzhou, he will also ask for a wife.

He, Pei Yuanshao, is no longer a bandit general of the Yellow Turban, but a general loyal to His Highness, so he should not have to worry about finding a good marriage!

Even if it is to find a daughter of an aristocratic family, it must not be difficult!

"Don't disturb the general's training of soldiers."

Mi Zhu cupped his fists and stepped aside.

Half an hour later, Ling Han came back from outside.

Mi Zhu stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness."

Seeing him, Ling Han asked, "But is there any news from Chang'an?"

"Exactly." Mi Zhu handed over a letter and said at the same time: "The eyeliner came into contact with a confidant of General Wei Dong Cheng, and he will report it to Dong Cheng."

"After revealing his identity, it is said that Dong Cheng was very happy. He said..." Mi Zhu paused for a moment before saying, "Your younger brother also intends to break out of Chang'an City."

Ling Han hummed, the letter had made it very clear.

He was lost in thought.

Just yesterday, there was news from the scouts.Dong Zhuo was shot in the left arm, and Yuan Shao had a granary breached.

It looks like a battle is raging between the two.

But Cao Cao still didn't do anything.

Ling Han felt really strange.At this kind of timing, is it possible that Cao Cao would have the same idea as himself, just sit back and watch success or failure to recuperate?

But there is a reason to recuperate by oneself, and it has the advantage of future generations.

Historically, Cao Cao took advantage of the internal struggle in Chang'an to snatch Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty himself.

In other words, the current situation has changed, but Cao Cao's thinking has not changed.At this moment, are you making the same idea with yourself?

Mi Fang wanted to ask aloud, but seeing that His Highness still looked hesitant, she cupped her fists and said, "Then the officer will retire."

Ling Han waved his hand to make him retreat.

After Mi Fang left, Yang Zhen asked, "What do you think, Your Highness? Is that Dong Cheng trustworthy?"

Although Dong Cheng is Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, he was obviously not reused when Emperor Ling was in power. Yang Zhen had never heard of this name when he was in the palace.

Ling Han pondered and said: "My younger brother didn't dare to disobey Dong Zhuo in Chang'an City, and Dong Zhuo has an arrogant temperament, presumably he wouldn't deliberately plant people as spies."

Pei Yuanshao said: "Then is your Highness planning to go?"

Ling Han didn't answer directly, but asked Yang Zhen beside him: "You are obviously capable of saving people, but you don't want to go there. If it were you, how would you think about this?"

Yang Zhen was taken aback, and then said firmly: "Your Highness, Chang'an City is so far away from Xuzhou, separated by several states. Once the lone army goes deep, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the south may become threats. According to my subordinates, His Highness is the one who can revive the Han Dynasty, and should not put himself in danger."

Pei Yuanshao thought in his heart: This kid looks stupid, but he understands His Highness's thoughts very well.Before I could react, he had already found a reason for His Highness.

At the same time, he echoed: "Your Highness, Yang Zhen is right. There is really no need for His Highness to risk himself. Even if you want to save people, it is enough to send a general to go."

Ling Han shook his head.

People in Chang'an City may not trust themselves wholeheartedly.If under such circumstances, only one general is sent to lead people there, I'm afraid they won't be willing to follow.

Liu Xie fled, and Yuan Shao was the closest.If Cao Cao really has thoughts about Liu Xie, he can only send a small number of cavalry as in history.

The cavalry under his command adopted the most scientific training methods and were equipped with the best equipment.

As long as he leads three thousand elite cavalry, even against Cao Cao's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry, Ling Han has 100% confidence in the same number.

Taking a step back, even if Cao Cao desperately sent a large army to rob him, even if he was defeated, three thousand elite cavalry would be enough to fight his way out without risking his life.

So, Ling Han made a decision in his heart.

Without further ado, he immediately sent someone to call Zhao Yun from the North Campus.

Then he announced: "The three of you each select a thousand cavalry, and we will set off for Sili tomorrow morning."

The next day.

Ling Han, Zhao Yun, Yang Zhen, Pei Yuanshao and three thousand cavalry marched towards Chang'an.

Gao Lan was transferred back to Xiapi from Langya, and was temporarily in charge of Xuzhou's military affairs.

Guo Jia needs to rest, but since Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are fighting fiercely, Xuzhou will not face too much threat.

From Xuzhou to Chang'an, you need to go directly through Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which are the territories of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu respectively.

The official way is impossible.If you want to bypass the official road and accommodate three thousand cavalry at the same time, there are only two routes.

One takes Changyang Road and passes through the north of Runan County.

The other one has to cross Sishui Pass and pass through Chenliu County.

Sishui Pass, also known as Hulao Pass, is the place where Lv Bu was in charge of the pass and became famous.

However, as Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, this checkpoint, which was heavily guarded in the past, has gradually become deserted.

Ling Han chose this path.

Runan County is where Yuan Shu's state capital is located.

With Yuan Shu's hatred for him, once he finds out, and he takes some cavalry to do something, he might come to attack him regardless.

Although Chenliu County is the west gateway of Yanzhou, there are few people in the south. Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, is a generation of gossip.

Another day later, the group successfully crossed the Pei Kingdom in Yuzhou, and were about to reach the border area of ​​Chenliu.

Towards sunset, soldiers began to set up camp.Ling Han found a high place, looked around, and compared the map to determine the current location.

Seeing that His Highness was standing there for a long time, Yang Zhen saw that the dinner was ready, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Your Highness?"

Ling Han asked: "Has the scout returned?"

Yang Zhen turned his head and glanced, and replied: "Not yet. Didn't His Highness ask them to go further away?"

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

Yang Zhen was a little puzzled. They marched carefully these two days and didn't meet anyone at all. It can be said that they couldn't be more lucky.

However, Ling Han thought that it was because he didn't meet anyone that he looked very suspicious.

Even though I chose a remote road, how could I not meet a single commoner after walking so far?

Unless, the government clearly issued an order prohibiting going out of the city.

The sky had already darkened, Ling Han didn't think about it anymore, he planned to have dinner first, and wait for the scouts to come back to talk about the rest.

Not long after dinner, several scouts returned one by one.

"Returning to Your Highness, we have not seen any signs of military activity."

Ling Han then asked again: "Is there any ban on going out of the city?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, I will go to two different counties separately, and there is no such prohibition in the city."

no prohibition...

Is it just a coincidence or good luck not to meet the people?

The reason why Ling Han sent scouts to find out if there was a ban was to plan for the worst: that is, Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, in order to let him go forward with peace of mind, deliberately withdrew the soldiers on his marching road to prevent himself from being afraid.

People are prohibited from traveling because they are afraid that they will find clues through the people.

If so, it means that this is a pre-planned robbery.

Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanshao also gathered around when they saw the scouts coming back to report the news.

Zhao Yun asked aloud, "But what's wrong?"

Ling Han hesitated.

From the current point of view, there is no problem.

It's just that he doesn't know why, but he always feels that there is something wrong in his heart, as if he has neglected something important.

Yang Zhendao: "If Your Highness thinks something is wrong, we can just go back home. When Your Highness escaped from the palace, there was no army. Everything today is done by His Highness himself. Even if you don't go, others can say What?"

Ling Han shook his head: "It's nothing, go back and have a good rest, and continue on your way tomorrow morning."

Without any evidence, it was purely my own suspicion, so I wanted to bring the army back.

Even if no one questioned it, he couldn't accept it himself, which is too unreasonable.

He analyzed in his heart: Even if some princes really suspected that he would lead troops to meet Liu Xie, they would never be able to kill him under the guard of three thousand fine cavalry.

Killing oneself under the guard of three thousand fine riders is completely different from the difficulty of defeating three thousand fine riders themselves.

Even if Cao Cao's army came out in full force, coupled with Yuan Shu who hated him deeply, if the two joined hands, Ling Han thought that it would be difficult to catch him.

They can't act with great fanfare just to destroy one of their own cavalry troops.

If you really want to destroy yourself under the guard of three thousand elite cavalry, it will take Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu's cavalry to unite to do it.

These four are hostile to each other, and it would be too farfetched to say that they unite to deal with themselves.

Throughout history, suspicious monarchs are not uncommon.

Could it be that after working as His Highness for a long time, he also developed a suspicious temperament?

Ling Han shook his head again, temporarily suppressing this doubt.

The next morning, move on.

It was an exceptionally cold day.

The Three Kingdoms period was originally the only two small ice ages in history, and it was also in the deep winter. The outdoor weather, it is not an exaggeration to say that dripping water turns into ice.

He was wearing a thick winter robe and a helmet that was enough to keep him warm. Even so, the cold wind could penetrate the body through the gaps in the clothes, like a knife cutting.

Ling Han roughly estimated that it was at least twenty degrees below zero.

If it were me who had just traveled through time, riding a horse in such a low temperature would definitely be unbearable.

It was finally noon, and there was an evergreen forest ahead.

The scouts have already explored, and there is no risk.

Everyone entered the forest.

It was the time when the power of the sun was at its fullest, and he finally felt a little more comfortable, but the sense of ominousness in Ling Han's heart became more and more serious.

This morning, after fully entering Chenliu, they still haven't met a single commoner.

It was because of the extreme cold that Ling Han suddenly realized another possibility.

The number of people going out of the city in winter is small, and the government does not need the Forbidden City at all. It only needs to give some incentives, such as urgent cloth collection, and there will be as much reward as there are pieces of cloth handed in within a few days. The men who originally planned to go out of the city are likely to stay. Assist his wife at home.

If it wasn't too cold today, even I wouldn't have thought of this, and it was even more impossible for the scouts who went to investigate to inquire about the news from this angle.

Ling Han suddenly felt a chilling feeling in his heart.

The possibility that I denied before was not only suddenly revived, but also greatly increased.

Traveling so far, Ling Han has never felt such a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Although so far, he still can't figure out where there might be a change behind it.

But he already had a decision in mind: return.

Now that they are still in Chenliu's territory, the worst outcome is to face a three-way attack from Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

Going forward, even Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao have this possibility, and these two princes are the most powerful right now.

He immediately summoned three generals to announce his latest decision.

Just in case, on the way home, some camouflage needs to be made.

Tens of miles away, Chenliu County City.

Zhang Miao, who was supposed to be the chief executive of Chenliu County, now appeared to be extremely respectful, even a little servile.

Just because the few people who are currently in the county city belong to his superiors in terms of positions.

Cao Cao sat at the front of the hall, with his civil servants and generals standing on both sides.

Man Chong came from outside, clasped his fists and said, "Master, the King of Changsha has probably traveled to the southwest of Chenliu."

Cao Cao said loudly, "Explore again."

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "After all, the King of Changsha is still a little tender. He only knows to send scouts to scout around, but he doesn't know that we don't need to approach at all, we just need to stay far behind. According to the horseshoe mark he left, and His location can be roughly estimated from the pit where the fire was built and cooked."

A young man on the right retorted: "It's not that the king of Changsha is immature, but he never thought that this hunting operation against him had already started a year ago."

"Yanzhou, Jizhou, Sili, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, most of the land in the world, all participated in this plan."

"Don't say that Wang Gui of Changsha is the prince. I'm afraid that anyone outside of this plan will not believe that such a thing will happen in the world."

As the lord's confidant and counselor, Cheng Yu was not angry when he was suddenly refuted by a young man.

Because he had already seen how powerful this young man was.

Moreover, the Sima family behind the opponent is the leader of the family in Hanoi. He has a strong appeal and is the force that the lord must rely on to conquer the world.

If not from the very beginning, the lord has been paying attention to King Changsha's actions.

After learning about the various actions that King Changsha had taken in Yangzhou, he exaggerated his hostility towards the aristocratic family several times, and publicized it under his rule.

Otherwise, the Sima family and many aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Qingzhou would have packed up their things and fled to Yangzhou long ago.

Cheng Yu showed concessions, but it did not mean that other people had no objections to this fledgling kid.

Also belonged to the veterans who followed Cao Cao in the early days, the military commander said dissatisfiedly: "Sima Yi! No one can think of this. You are too flattering the king of Changsha when you say this. And what do you mean? Could it be that you are accusing Who!"

Cao Cao interrupted with a cold shout: "Enough!"

"Now that the King of Changsha has come to Chenliu, he has stepped into the gate of hell. But you must not underestimate him because of this. The more you are at this moment, the more cautious you are, and you must not let him find out."

"When he arrives in Henan County, soldiers from all walks of life will be dispatched together. At that time, it will be time to relax."

Cheng Yu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Soldiers from all walks of life are gathered in Henan. Even if the King of Changsha escapes the siege by chance, there must not be many guards left by his side. Facing the net of heaven and earth laid down in advance by the land of the three states, the king of Changsha will Even those who have the power to reach the heavens will surely die without a place to bury themselves."

Sima Yi smiled coldly when he heard it.

From the bottom of his heart, Prince Changsha, who became famous at a young age, has both ambition, intelligence, and heart, and he is the ideal lord in his mind.

However, when he inquired carefully about the prosperity of Yangzhou, he soon realized that if he assisted this ideal lord, once the other party aspires to the world, not only would his family not be able to make further progress, but it might even lose its current status. authority.

The two princes of the Han Dynasty, one is cowardly and incompetent, and the other wants to put the family to death.

Then, there is really no need for him to be a Hanchen anymore.

Once again, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

King of Changsha, King of Changsha, you are indeed a young talent, but it is a pity that you are too talented and have done things you shouldn't be doing now.

What you touch is the interests of everyone except the poorest and most humble people in the world.

No matter how outstanding he is, no matter how much he is destined to do, he is doomed to be a dead end.

After reading this, Sima Yi looked at a white-faced scholar beside him.

This person seemed to be about the same age as him, and he didn't even have much talent, but he was the key person who put King Changsha to death this time.

Dong Zhuo forcibly occupied the women of the royal family, and wantonly oppressed Liu Xie, the only younger brother of King Changsha.

Once the King of Changsha gains power, it is impossible for anyone to spare him.

Therefore, among all the princes, Dong Zhuo is the one who is most afraid of King Changsha.

Originally, Yuan Shu was also a powerful member of the power of the princes. Whoever imagined it, after formally fighting with the King of Changsha, within half a year, he was reduced to the point where he wanted to ask Yuan Shao for help, and was even willing to become Yuan Shao's subordinate.

Yuan Shao was greatly shocked when the request letter was sent to Yuan Shao.

You know, his younger brother has always regarded himself very highly, and he really despises himself in his heart.

Therefore, Yuan Shao not only immediately regarded Changsha King as the biggest threat, but also sent this letter of appeal for help to other princes.

The lord Cao Cao has realized the extraordinaryness of King Changsha from an earlier time.

As for Jingzhou, Liu Biao was too ill to be in charge, and it was Liu Biao's confidant Cai Mao who presided over the plan to strangle the king of Changsha.

In the Battle of Xianshan, Huang Zu died at the hands of the King of Changsha. Since then, Cai Mao has been Liu Biao's only confidant.

At the same time, the Cai family was the largest family in Jingzhou, which was adjacent to Yangzhou. Cai Mao felt the hostility of the king of Changsha to the family more than others.

Cai Mao didn't know why the Yangzhou family chose to surrender, and voluntarily accepted the weakening of the King of Changsha, but he was absolutely unwilling to watch the Cai family eventually be on an equal footing with the untouchables.

The five forces all have strong motives to send troops to King Changsha.

But, despite all this, the strangulation was unbelievable.

You know, when the Eighteenth Route princes attacked Dong Zhuo together, they failed to succeed.

This time was infinitely more difficult than last time.

Dong Zhuo's reputation was notorious, and he lost his righteousness by forcibly entering the capital, and the princes from all walks of life could crusade against him justifiably; the King of Changsha was the eldest son of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.Even among the aristocratic families, there were not a few scholars who fell in love with him knowing that King Changsha had the intention of weakening the aristocratic family.

For example, the lord Cao Cao did not bring his most valued Xun brothers and Xu Huang and other generals with him in this robbery and killing operation, but left them to guard the capital.

During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the people gathered in Suanzao County.Suanzao County did not belong to any of the princes of the road before this, so the princes of all roads can come here with confidence.

But this time, the robbing and killing of King Changsha required many princes to lead troops to other princes' rule, which would obviously bring a crisis to both sides.

How to temporarily put aside grievances, how to trust each other, how to work together to kill the King of Changsha.

It's all thanks to this white-faced scholar's skillful handling of it.

He is like Su Qin in the Warring States Period, who was responsible for many envoys, and finally urged the princes from all walks of life to work together.

In the Xuyang and Yangzhou states, the military strength is strong, the food and grass are sufficient, and the army and the people are united as one.

It is too difficult to attack Changsha King head-on.Even if it is successful, it will take a long time.

The King of Changsha has won the hearts of the people all over the world, and he will not be someone who just sits and waits to die. Changes are very likely to happen in the middle.

Therefore, the best way is to lure him out and hunt him elsewhere.

Dong Zhuo was willing to be injured, and Yuan Shao damaged his granary. The two sides raised tens of thousands of troops just to show the king of Changsha a show.

It can be said that the foot is unprecedented.

Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou also expended a lot of energy and joined hands to secretly lay a net in the east.

Make sure that it is absolutely impossible for the King of Changsha to escape back to Xuzhou.

Whether it is east or west, it is a fatal dead end.

And the two-pronged approach is to make it impossible for the King of Changsha to have any chance of life!

But... Sima Yi narrowed his eyes.

The white-faced scholar who came up with such a vicious scheme seems to be loyal to the lord Cao Cao.

But in his opinion, this person's hatred for King Changsha is even greater.

An eunuch in the palace, but with a vision that is far beyond the reach of ordinary scholars, and a three-inch tongue, Dong Zhuo valued it deeply.

But the other party looked down on Dong Zhuo, and sold Dong Zhuo to give benefits to his lord.

He also has a deep hatred with the King of Changsha.

The smile on Sima Yi's mouth deepened, this is really getting more and more interesting.

While Cao Cao was waiting for Ling Han to throw himself into the trap.

Ling Han has already realized a mistake he made earlier: the marks of horseshoes and the marks of cooking.

Yes, three thousand cavalry, it is impossible to pass without traces on the road.

I only paid attention to sending scouts around to investigate, but ignored this point.

Ling Han's face turned pale, this was really a fatal mistake.

That's why.

In essence, it was because Ling Han couldn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, that this whole matter was a game set up by the joint efforts of various princes.

The scouts sent out were mostly just for comfort.

Because the subconscious has already determined that it is impossible, even if he keeps reminding himself, in fact, he has not thought carefully about the problem.

No matter how unbearable the methods of Yuan Shao's four generations and three princes are, they still need face.

And Cao Cao, although he used the emperor to order the princes in history, he did not really proclaim himself emperor until his death.

How could they put aside all dignity and unite with Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Xiliang bandit, just to put themselves to death?

In order to increase the possibility of going to Chang'an alone, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao even launched a war.

As a student of the history department, Ling Han has never seen such a bizarre thing in the records of historians.

Up to now, Ling Han is still not completely sure, at least Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao participated in the coalition of princes, and set this trap for himself.

But after he discovered his mistake, after various detections, this inference has become more and more credible.

In this case, it is impossible to meet Liu Xie.

Ling Han must immediately take remedial measures according to the worst result.

Everything does not seem to have reached the point of no return.

The other party does not know that they have discovered this matter. In order to avoid this, they will continue to judge their tracks based on the horseshoe marks and cooking marks.

Since Dong Zhuo participated in this plan, their ideal place of action must be on the border of Sili, that is, Henan County, which is still dozens of miles away!

Ling Han secretly warned himself that he must not panic at such a time, he must calm down.

In this piece of land with a radius of countless miles, there must still be hidden vitality.

The author has something to say: What is the identity of a white-faced scholar? Why does he look tough and tall but hate Ling Han so much?

There will be explanations later, and it has a little relationship with Chapter 1. It can be said that it is God's will?In short, the author thinks it is still logical.

The following plot should be regarded as a climax of the full text. Some people have to get a box lunch, some people have to warm up their feelings, there are sorrows and there are also big gains. In short, they are all exciting plots.That's right, it's this kind of stimulation~
