The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun You asked, "What?"

Xun Zhen replied, "Dong Zhuo sent troops to attack Hanoi, and Wang Kuang was defeated."

There are three men and horses in the Hanoi area, one is from Wang Kuang, one is from Yuan Shao, and the other is sent by Han Fu to help Yuan Shao. The three men and horses have a total of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. , but was attacked and won by Dong Zhuo, which is really surprising.

Cheng Jia asked, "How did you lose?"

"Dong Jun's bluff made Wang Kuang mistakenly think that they were going to cross the river from Pingyin County, so they stuck to the river bank opposite Pingyin. As a result, Dong Jun sent his elites to cross the river from Xiaopingjin, east of Pingyin, and went around to the back of Wang Kuang's department. Pig_Pig_Island] novel, attacked it quickly, and Wang Kuang's army was defeated."

"How about the casualties?"

"The whole army was destroyed."

"Yuan Cheqi and Han Jizhou didn't go to the rescue?"

"The Dong army attacked very fast, and they left in the first battle. When Yuan Cheqi's reinforcements arrived, they had already crossed the Henan and returned."

Xi Zhicai rejoiced and said: "Good Dong Zhuo, there was a 'sound east and west' in Yingchuan and Luyang, another 'sound east and west' in Pingyin and Xiaopingjin, two 'sound east and west', two defeats. A general Yuan, even with Jun Jun and Sun Marquis, also came back. Good strategy, good strategy!"

Xun Zhen put down the military newspaper and summoned Dian Wei, who was outside the tent, to come in, and ordered, "Please come here, Marquis Sun."

Dian Wei responded to the promise and sent people to Sun Jian's camp to invite Sun Jian to come over.

Xun Yu frowned and thought deeply, and after a while, said: "Yuan Cheqi and General Yuan's brothers have been defeated one after another. Junhou, this time to ask Dong, the Yuan family is the leader of the alliance, and the Yuan Cheqi brothers have not fought a battle since then. If you have been defeated one after another, you have lost your vigor; the dukes of Suanzao are timid to fight, and after these two battles, I am afraid that they will not dare to fight; ... the battle to get Dong under this is not easy to fight."

What Xun Yu said, Xun Zhen had long thought about it. He had said similar things to Sun Jian before, so as soon as he received the exact military report of Hanoi's defeat, he immediately sent people to invite Sun Jian to come over, and what he did was right. It is to re-discuss the military situation.

He asked Xi Zhicai and others, "What do Zhicai, Gongda, Junchang, Qing and others have any ideas?"

Xi Zhicai has been fighting against Xun Zhen for so many years, and he has never suffered a big loss, but this time he was cheated by Dong Zhuo. He is deeply unwilling. He said, "Brother Eryuan and the Dukes of Suanzao have always had their own thoughts or feared thieves and fought cowardly. This time, I couldn't count on them. Junhou, if Eryuan is defeated, we will also be defeated. It has nothing to do with us. In my opinion, we still stick to the original strategy.”

Cheng Jia asked, "Zhi is what?"

"Wait. Waiting for the day when Dong Jun is tired of fighting and thinking about returning will be the time for our department to attack in a big way."

"Dong Jun has won two games in a row, and his morale is high. I don't know how long they will have to wait until they are tired of fighting and thinking about returning."

"What are you afraid of waiting so long? Brother Yuan and the dukes of Suanzao did not dare to fight, the heroes of the world and men of lofty ideals at sea, and now the only people I can hope to see are the two princes and the princes, just wait a little longer. As long as you wait until the time of the attack, you will be victorious in the first battle, recover Luoyang, then capture and kill Dong Zhuo, and welcome back the emperor, you will be watched by all directions, the people will be praised, the merits will be revered now, and the name will be remembered by future generations.

Cheng Jia agreed with this point. He nodded and said, "If you can really capture Dong Zhuo and welcome the emperor back, it would be a great achievement. Yi and Huo Zhi can't match it." Turning around, he said again, "It's just, but what about the grain!"

"What happened to the grain?"

"The Junhou and Sunhou tens of thousands of troops and horses are used for the daily eclipse, and the expenditure is very large. Although I got some food from Kongyu Prefecture, it is good for a short period of time, but it is difficult to support it as time goes on."

"What's so difficult about this? I heard that Kong Yuzhou became ill after returning to the prefecture, and it was difficult to manage state affairs. Now, the affairs of the state are mostly handled by Zhu. When there is a shortage of food, the prince and the grandson Hou Ke chose one or two sons from the county that he knew well, and went to the prefecture to be a lobbyist, looking for them to borrow food. If you think about it, in terms of old friendship and national justice, they will never refuse."

"This,...this is also true."

Xun Zhen asked Xun You, "Gongda, what do you think?"

"What Zhicai said is very true. Junhou, I came to Yingchuan far away from Guangling to help the Han family. No matter what Yuan Cheqi, General Yuan, and Suanzao think, in my opinion, I will never wait. You can't give up halfway."

What Xi Zhicai and Xun You said were different, but the meaning was actually the same.

Inside and outside of their words, the meaning revealed by the two of them is: this time to discuss Dong is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The more Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Suanzao rebels dare not fight, the better for Xun Zhen. When Dong Jun thought about his return, it was the day when Xun Zhen and Sun Jian made their unparalleled achievements, and once this achievement was accomplished, not only would Xun Zhen have a place in the imperial court, but also those veteran officials in the imperial court would be given credit for this. , It is not impossible to compete with these tyrannical power factions such as Yuan Shao.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

"Although the battle below will be difficult to fight, but every time I think about the emperor's great power and being held by Dong's thief, I can't be at ease, and I always feel angry, destroy this thief, help the Han family, and restore the Han family's Tianwei, for the sake of It is my wish for the people to be lifted from their hangings.”

Xun Zhen slapped the table and stood up, and said sternly, "This is also my wish!"

The two Yuan soldiers were defeated, and everyone saw that the battle against Dong would become more difficult to fight, but at the same time, no one backed down, and they all thought that the battle was difficult to fight, and they had to continue. Hit it down. After a few words, everyone agreed on the matter.

When Sun Jian came to the tent, Sun Jian was a staunch main fighting faction, and he had no objection to this. Therefore, Xun Zhen and him discussed the military arrangements and deployments below in detail.

Dong Zhuo has won Eryuan in a row, and he may temporarily suspend his troops, but only from the fact that he defeated Eryuan with the strategy of "sounding the east and attacking the west", it can be seen that he used his troops cunningly, so it cannot be ruled out that he will come to attack Yingchuan again. Therefore, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian decided that from now to the future, Yingchuan will focus on defense as a whole, take into account the training of troops, and at the same time continue to investigate the morale and combat readiness of Dong's army.

Not long after Xun Zhen and Sun Jian made this decision, another envoy from Dong Zhuo came from Luoyang.

It was not the courtiers who came back this time, but Dong Zhuo's trusted scribes.

As soon as he saw Xun Zhen, he bowed and saluted, and said in his mouth, "Congratulations Junhou, Hexi Junhou."

"Why is there joy?"

"The villain is here in Yingchuan, and he came here specially to propose marriage to Junhou."

"Propose marriage?"

"Exactly."

"Who did you come to propose to me for?"

"Xiangguo's young daughter, who is not young enough to be married, is knowledgeable and reasonable, and Xiangguo is willing to ask him to be his wife."

Xun Zhen didn't know whether "Dong Zhuo's marriage with a daughter" was true or not, but he only vaguely remembered that he had seen it in Romance, saying that he had a daughter and wished to marry Sun Jian's son as his wife, but Sun Jian refused.

Seeing that this messenger sent by Dong Zhuo did not go to Sun Jian, but came to propose a marriage to herself, Xun Zhen felt quite ironic and said to herself, "When I was looking for Wentai, it was my daughter who was married to Wentai's son. Do you want to betrothed to me, do you want to be a generation older than me?" Looking at the envoy Dong who was kneeling on the ground, he looked at it for a long time, and then said, "Is Dong Zhuo insulting me?"

In front of Dong Envoy, Xun Zhen inscribed his surname and called Dong Zhuo by his name, which was very impolite, but Dong Envoy did not get angry because of this, but he was still respectful and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Junhou? Dare to ask, what does the prince mean by this?"

"Don't Dong Zhuo know that I'm already married?"

"Of course Xiangguo knows."

"Do you want me to divorce my wife?"

"Xiangguo said: The wife of the prince is the daughter of the Chen family in Xu County. She is virtuous and unparalleled, and is a good match for the prince. I dare not ask the prince to divorce his wife."

"Then what does he mean?"

"The prime minister is willing to wish his daughter to be the young wife of the monarch."

The wife is the concubine.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "Dong Zhuo is really willing to write down the book. He is the 'prime minister' of the court, and he promised me his daughter as a concubine, but he is also a shame." After thinking about it, he thought again, " No, Dong Zhuo does have a daughter, but he is already married to Niu Fu, where does he have a young daughter who is 'under the age of 笄'? Yes, he must have found one from another family, or just recognized one. , want to use this to win me over."

Xun Zhen said, "I have met Dong Zhuo several times."

That Dong Envoy did not know why Xun Zhen emphasized this, and replied, "Yes, yes."

"I have something to ask you."

"Sir, please speak."

"How similar is Dong Zhuo's young daughter to Dong Zhuo?"

"The villain is stupid, I don't know what the prince means by this?"

"Didn't I just say it? I've met Dong Zhuo a few times."

That Dong Envoy was inexplicable, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but the villain is stupid..."

"Marry Yixian, a concubine. If you look like Dong Zhuo, let me ask you: Do you think it's suitable to be my little wife?"

This is extremely insulting to Dong Zhuo. That Dong Envoy is a mud bodhisattva and has a three-point fire nature. However, the last time Yin Xiu came to Yingchuan, his chariot and chariot entourage from Zhong Dong Zhuo were killed by Sun Jian and Xun Zhen. This Dong Envoy knew what was going on with Jing. Even though his anger was rising, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to laugh with him and said embarrassedly, "You are joking, you are joking."

Xun Zhen admired the Dong Envoy's good temper, and smiled at him: "It's better than this, let me give you an idea."

"Sir, please speak."

"You leave me and go to Sun Hou. Sun Hou is cold and has a good appetite. Maybe he is willing to ask Dong Zhuo's 'young daughter'."

"You..." This Dong envoy couldn't help it, and almost got angry. Fortunately, the words came to his mouth, and he woke up suddenly, only said the word "you", and quickly swallowed the rest of the words.

Xun Zhen teased him a few words, but didn't bother to pay attention to it, and called the guards outside the tent to come in: "Take him to see Marquis Sun."

This Dong Envoy knew that Sun Jian had a fiery temper. The people who were killed in the Yinxiu cavalry team last time were mainly killed by Sun Jian. How could he dare to see them? But he was not allowed to tell the difference, the two guards picked him up, dragged him away, pulled him out of the tent, and headed for Sun Jian's army.

After waiting until there was no one in the tent, Xun Zhen sat on the seat by herself, recalling the conversation she had just had with that Dong Envoy, the more she thought about it, the more laughable she became, laughing loudly.

Not long after that Dong Envoy was pulled away, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and one person broke in.

Xun Zhen saw that it was Sun Jian.

"Wentai, why are you here?"

"Zhenzhi, are you still pretending to be confused?"

"how?"

"You sent the envoy of the thief Dong to me, right?"

"Wentai, you don't know~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I'm not good at women."

"What do I say I'm not afraid of being cold?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Sun Jian couldn't hold it any longer, and laughed too.

After laughing, Xun Zhen asked, "Then where is Ambassador Dong now?"

"I cut his nose and sent him back."

"Dong Zhuo first sent Yin Shaofu to persuade you and me to surrender, then defeated Yuan Cheqi and General Yuan in a row, and then sent people to find you and me to marry. This can be said to be both hard and soft."

"good."

"It can be seen from this that Dong Zhuo is eager to truce."

"What do you mean by Zhenzhi?"

"Although he has recently won a winning streak, the morale of his army may not be as 'high' as ​​we expected. Maybe it is already showing signs of war weariness and returning home."
