The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - v10 Chapter 334

The little **** who just came to deliver the letter to Xun Zhen was obviously from the palace, but Xi Zhicai and the others were not surprised when they saw him. This was because they, like Dian Wei, had already met him. This little **** has been there several times.

The little **** was none other than Zhao Yue.

However, Zhao Yue turned out that although he was loyal to Liu Xie on the surface, and even said what Xun Zhen said in front of Liu Xie, his performance and words were actually just deceiving Liu Xie. That’s it.

When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Zhao Yue was displaced. In the eyes of ordinary people, he first served Yuan Shu in the palace and then served Yuan Shu. Maybe he was considered a “noble man”, but he couldn’t help himself, and what he did was to struggle. Survival, because he betrayed Yuan Shu and came to join Xun Zhen, how could he truly be loyal to Liu Xie under the current situation where Xun Zhen was in a strong position and Liu Xie was in a weak position?

Therefore, he showed loyalty to Liu Xie and spoke ill of Xun Zhen only to gain Liu Xie’s trust.

At present, Zhao Yue has done quite successfully, and he did rely on these means to coax Liu Xie’s trust.

After all, Liu Xie is a teenager. Although he is smart, his political experience is still not enough. It is also because of his succession that he was bullied by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, etc. , he may have trust in this person, and even become dependent on him, as he does with Xun Zhen, and also with Zhao Yue.

——Of course, his level of trust in Xun Zhen and Zhao Yue is incomparable, and Zhao Yue and Xun Zhen are also incomparable, but all in all, the basis of this trust is similar.

At this point, I might as well say one more thing. Xun Zhen has already felt the simplicity and kindness of Liu Xie. He is older than Liu Xie, and he feels Liu Xie’s trust in him. So ruthless, at this moment, he actually has a little guilt towards Liu Xie, but for the sake of the overall situation, he can only throw this guilt aside.

You can’t give up your ideals and your career just because you have sympathy for Liu Xie?

In other words, even if Xun Zhen is willing, at this time, Xi Zhicai and other people who are related to Xun Zhen’s interests will not be willing.

The so-called “time situation creates a hero”, the relationship between “hero” and “time situation” is a relationship of conformity. Being in the current situation, even if the current situation appears, there is a reason for the “hero” to promote it, but when it is created, after , as an individual “hero”, the only thing left to do next is to comply with the law. Even if this general trend may develop along with the individual’s original intention, there will be no way for the individual to do anything.

However, when they returned to the hall, after hearing Xun Zhen’s words of “Wang Mang”, Xi Zhicai and the others suddenly had different expressions, either laughing in surprise or showing anger.

Chen Yi was the one who was angry, he said angrily: “Yang Biao is also the third prince, how can he slander Ming Gong so much in front of the Holy Master!”

Xi Zhicai shook the feather fan, and Youyou said, “But you don’t need to be angry about it.”

Chen Yi said: “With such slander, you don’t need to be angry?”

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, “What’s the use of being angry again? The key now is not to be angry, but to deal with it.”

“response?”

Xi Zhicai and Xun Zhen said: “Ming Gong, Yang Biao compares Ming Gong to Wang Mang’s words, it can be seen that Yang Biao has made up his mind to turn against Ming Gong! At this juncture, what should I do next, Duke Ming, we must make a decision now!”

Xun Zhen stroked the short moustache under her chin, raised her eyes to the courtyard, and pondered for a while.

At this moment, the twilight has come, and the afterglow of the setting sun has fallen, reflecting the dim yellow in the courtyard.

He quickly made a decision, withdrew his gaze, looked around the people in the hall, and said, “You all know that, just this morning, Zilong sent another military report. Chunyu Qiong and others are very urgent to besiege Yi County, day and night. The siege of the city will not stop. In my opinion, if they continue to fight like this, Gongsun Zan will not be able to defend the city, and maybe he will be wiped out within a few months at the most. Zhou, there is not much time left for me to wait. First of all, yesterday, Yang Biao’s party members asked to see the sage, and then today Yang Biao actually asked to see the sage in person. From this, it can be seen that Yang Biao and the others have no trump cards, so Yang Biao had to go out in person, the second one. Combining the two, I think it is time to completely wait for Yang Biao!”

Everyone thought so.

But Xun Zhen has not done anything since Huangfu Li and others recommended him to be the Grand Sima, and until now, he has not done anything, except that he has made a private list and refused to accept the recommendation, just waiting. Let’s see what kind of reaction Yang Biao and others will make, or in other words, it is precisely to expose all the courtiers who oppose him. Until now, it can be seen that Yang Biao and others have no trump cards, and among the courtiers, are they opposed to him? Who is Xun Zhen, who opposed Xun Zhen’s appointment as a general last time, plus the objection to tentatively set the new capital in Xu this time, and the objection to worship Xun Zhen as a great Sima, these matters have basically been confirmed. Some of those who did not express their opposition or support for Xun Zhen have already expressed their stance, so there is really no need to wait any longer.

Xun Zhen made a final decision and said, “Tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to see the Holy Master.”

Yang Biao had already gone out in person, so next, of course, it was Xun Zhen’s turn to go out, as a banner to launch a general offensive against the opposition parties.

After saying this, Xun Zhen asked Xi Zhicai, “Did Dong Cheng leave Luoyang?”

Xi Zhicai replied, “Duke Ming, Dong Cheng has already left Luoyang, but he has not yet entered the territory of Yingchuan County.”

Xun Zhen nodded and said, “Okay, Zhicai, you should go to Zhang Hong and wait for them today, and ask them to get ready. Once Dong Cheng arrives at the court, you will send a statement of impeachment to the court.”

Xi Zhicai promises.

This time, Xun Zhen planned to start with Dong Cheng as the introduction to the general attack on Yang Biao and the others.

After Dong Cheng arrived in Henan Yin, although there was no war in Henan Yin, Dong Cheng was not strict in governing the army, and his subordinates were quite harassing and plundering the people. I have written a letter of impeachment, which can be expedited to the DPRK at any time.

Early the next morning, Xun Zhen really went outside the palace gate and asked to see Liu Xie.

Different from the courtier who asked to see Liu Xie the day before yesterday, and also different from Yang Biao, Xun Zhen didn’t wait at all outside the palace gate, and Liu Xie’s oral order to summon him to see him came out. Xun Zhen slightly adjusted her clothes and walked slowly, while Yan Ran calmly stepped into the palace.

…

In the northwest of Xu County, more than a thousand miles away, in Yi County, in Gongsun Zan’s fort.

Long before Xun Zhen arrived outside the palace gate, the coalition of Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou soldiers launched a fierce attack on Yi County again.

The siege was launched from all sides, but the traditional siege technique of “surrounding three and missing one” was not used.

The siege was very fast from the very beginning.

There are several trenches outside Wubao, and the outermost two have been filled in the previous siege. Today, the siege of the coalition forces is mainly carried out around the third trench. The main force of the battle is Jizhou soldiers, and Gao Lan will personally supervise the battle. In front, the soldiers of the Jizhou Army carried half a boat and other items to resist the rain of arrows shot at the city head and the tower at the city head.

Taking advantage of the time when the siege soldiers retreated to eat at noon, the defenders in the city organized a counter-offensive to raid the city.

Gao Lan and other generals did not occupy the land, and their subordinates had already fought hard for a long time, and the casualties were not small.

But although they were defeated, they did not retreat. Chunyu Qiong’s army ordered, and Gao Lan and other front-line generals redeployed their troops and tried to launch a counterattack.

In the afternoon, Gongsun Fan rushed to Gongsun Zan’s residence at the highest point in the center of the fort and asked to see Gongsun Zan.

Seeing Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Fan became furious and said, “Brother! Chunyu Qiongwei is really hateful!”

At the beginning of the siege of the city today by the combined forces of the Jizhou and Youzhou soldiers, Gongsun Fan and others came to ask to see Gongsun Zan, and asked Gongsun Zan to come to the city to command, but Gongsun Zan refused. Gongsun Zan was very confident in the strength of the fort. First, there were still several trenches outside the fort, and it would not hurt if one was filled by the coalition forces; Only relying on the tallness of the walls of the fort and the large number of watchtowers, Gongsun Zan did not think that the allied forces would be able to break through his fort. Therefore, just like the previous coalition sieges, Gongsun Zan still ignored the requests of Gongsun Fan and others and did not go. City Head Command.

But seeing Gongsun Fan coming back and looking so annoyed, Gongsun Zanai asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gongsun Fan said: “After the bandit army was defeated by our army, Gao Lan and other bandit generals tried to counterattack, but they were all defeated by our army, so they were unable to attack for a long time, but this Chunyu Qiong actually ordered his soldiers to be in his formation. , provoked the folds of the Hu people…”

Speaking of which, he hesitated, as if he did not dare to speak any further.

Gongsun Zan frowned and said, “Pick up the folds of the Hu people?”

“Yes, the soldiers of the thief army shouted…”

“Screaming what?”

“Shout out that brother, you are a fool.”

——Order the soldiers to provoke the Hu people and insult Gongsun Zan for being a Huer. Chunyu Qiong’s purpose of doing this is obviously to provoke Gongsun Zan, hoping that Gongsun Zan will make a mistake because of his anger, so as to break the counterattack of his soldiers Powerless predicament.

Although he knew Chunyu Qiong’s purpose, Gongsun Zan couldn’t help but be furious when he heard the words.

If Chunyu Qiong was just attacking the city, he could ignore it, but such insults, especially the barbarians who were scorned by Gongsun Zan and beaten by him, could not be tolerated.

Gongsun Zan immediately stood up from the seat and ordered left and right: “Take my armor and spear!”

The personal soldiers took his armor and spear and came over and put on the armor for him.

Its war horse has long been prepared, and it is a very handsome white horse.

Gongsun Zan got on his horse and led Gongsun Fan, his personal soldiers, and others to the head of the city.

When he arrived at the city, the generals in command of the battle heard the news and came one after another, gathered around him, and reported to him the current battle situation.

While listening to them, Gongsun Zan looked out of the city, and saw that outside the trenches, where the enemy and our soldiers were fighting, dozens of gray Hu people were hanging high on bamboo poles in the coalition’s formation. Pleated hakama.

The anger in Gongsun Zan’s eyes was even more intense~www.mtlnovel.com~, but unfortunately the battle area was too far away from the city, and the arrows couldn’t reach it. There is a mountain there. In the early summer, the grass and trees on the mountain were all green, but because of the distance, it was a black color. Under the blue sky, the mountains were undulating and majestic. .

This mountain is located behind the Gaolan and other departments.

Gongsun Zan ordered: “I will pass on my order, call the white horse righteous followers, and the elites of all ministries!”

Gongsun Fan asked, “Brother, do you want to go out of the city to attack the bandits?”

Gongsun Zan raised his spear, pointed it towards the mountain, and said, “Only attack the bandit formation, but if it is difficult to destroy it, I will break out of the city, occupy the lower mountain, and cut off the rear of the bandit army, and then you will lead the main force out of the city. Let’s cooperate internally and externally to wipe out the bandit army!”

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan will not come to the city to supervise the battle. When he came to the city, he actually made such a dangerous decision!

Among the generals, someone immediately spoke out.
