Chapter 64 Two tigers fighting for food

Zhao Yun did not dare to stay for a place of right and wrong, for fear that Zhang would go south and return to see through their reality. After Xiahou Lan rested for a while, he took Xiahou Lan out of the battlefield and found a hidden place before he could rest.

Along the way, Zhao Yun also learned the whole story from Xiahou Lan.

However, after Xiahou Lan arrived at Hulao yesterday, just after passing Hulao, Hulao Pass was in martial law and closed the city gates. Then Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu rushed out with his men. Even though Xiahou Lan was prepared, he did not expect that the other party would be so arrogant that he would attack directly outside Hulao Pass. When he wanted to hide in Hulao Pass for a while, the generals of Hulao Pass refused to let him enter. In desperation, Xiahou Lan had to face the battle, but was outnumbered. In addition, there were some servants and maids in the army who had no combat power, so they could only fight and retreat, retreat all the way to Ao Cang, hoping to get the support of Ao Cang.

Unfortunately, the two sides chased and fought for a night, but there was no reinforcements from Ao Cang. Instead, Xiahou Lan suffered heavy losses in his men and horses. All the servants and servants who were used as bait were killed. These people were even more cruel to these unarmed people than when they were at war.

"Zilong, why are you here?" Xiahou Lan looked at Zhao Yun and asked in confusion.

"The plan has changed. There is something wrong with Luoyang. The lord ordered me to hand over my family to Ji Ling. Fang Yue and the two generals will come first to save you. Ji Ling and Fang Yue should be able to arrive later." Zhao Yun sighed. The intrigue in Luoyang City made him bored. If it weren't for Ye Zhao here, he really didn't want to stay in Luoyang. After saying that, he looked at Xiahou Lan and said, "It's up to me to go back to Luoyang."

When Xiahou Lan heard this, she was silent.

"Xiaolan?" Zhao Yun looked at Xiahou Lan in confusion.

"Zilong is back." Xiahou Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Lan has lost the lord's trust and has no face to face his lord. The lord ordered me to go to Huai County to pick me up. Lan is preparing to go to Huai County to help him train a team of men in case of emergency needs and also give him a way out."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Xiahou Lan and said, "This battle is not your fault. The enemy is numerous and we are few, and there are also women and children to drag down it. It is rare for you to fight the thief army hard for a night without defeat."

"But after all, I lost." Xiahou Lan shook her head and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Don't worry, Zilong, I still want to help my lord. Huai County is also the lord's hometown. Lan is also the lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded silently, hugged Xiahou Lan and left separately. Xiahou Lan only brought her in person, and the remaining soldiers dragged Zhao Yun back to Luoyang and handed it to Ye Zhao.

When Zhao Yun rushed back to Chenggao, he met Ji Ling and Fang Yue who also arrived in Chenggao, and scared the Chenggao commander so much that he didn't dare to say anything. Zhao Yun met with the two and told them about it, and then the two withdrew their troops and returned to Luoyang.

...

Luoyang, outside He Jin's mansion.

"Lord, He Jin is too arrogant!" He Man looked at the closed door and said with a look of ugly expression. Ye Zhao came to see him in person and was turned away. After all, Ye Zhao was also a minister among the nine ministers and even the prince-consort. Speaking of which, He Jin is now considered a royal relative. Even for etiquette, He Jin should have welcomed Ye Zhao in. However, He Jin directly gave Ye Zhao a turn away, which was more than a slap in the face.

Ye Zhao looked at the closed door of He Jin's mansion, calmly looked on his face, took a deep breath and said, "Go back to the mansion!"

Although Dian Wei and He Man were unwilling to accept it, if they directly attacked He Jin's mansion in Luoyang City, He Jin would definitely have reason to shoot them into sieves. Didn't he see a guard on the wall of He Mansion vigilantly?

Just as the group walked out of the He Mansion, they saw a general blocking Ye Zhao's way. This person looked a bit similar to He Jin. When Ye Zhao saw this person, he nodded slightly and said, "It turns out to be the General of the Carriage."

The person who came was He Jin's younger brother and He Miao.

"The Marquis of Guoting is polite." He Miao bowed to Ye Zhao, looked around and said, "Can you tell me?"

After Ye Zhao was silent for a moment, he nodded and said, "Please!"

In the He Mansion, until the door came to tell He Jin that Ye Zhao had left, He Jin frowned and looked at Yuan Wei on the side and said, "Trial tutor, no matter how arrogant Ye Zhao is, he has no conflict of interests with me. This time, just because of the Taifu's words, He offended him, and I have offended him. I hope this time, the Taifu will not play any tricks with me again."

"No conflict of interest?" Yuan Wei shook his head and sneered: "Suigao is still so naive."

"What does the Grand Tutor mean?" He Jin frowned and looked at Yuan Wei and said.

Yuan Wei didn't say anything, but just shook his head. Wang Yunweiwei beside him smiled and said to He Jin: "The general said this, probably because he thought that if His Majesty died, Ye Zhao would definitely support Prince Debate ascend the throne, right?"

"Of course." He Jin nodded, but his tone was not firm, otherwise he would not have had to turn Ye Zhao out.

"Why should the general deceive himself?" Wang Yun sneered: "Ye Zhao is a favorite minister of the emperor. I will not deny that he was once kind to Prince Bian. But now it seems that he was good at talking about the princess when he was just to get close to the princess. The general thought carefully. Since Ye Zhao became the prince-in-law, has he ever been kind to Prince Bian again?"

"This..." He Jin was suffocated when he heard this. After Ye Zhao rescued himself and returned to the palace, he rarely visited Liu Bian again, but Liu Bian had a good impression of Ye Zhao.

"If your Majesty issued an edict to assist the prince in succession before his death, the general thought that Ye Zhao would continue to support the debate on the prince?" Wang Yun asked again.

He Jin was speechless. Ye Zhao now looks like a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Hong issued an edict to make Liu Xie the emperor, Ye Zhao would really support Liu Xie.

"In fact, no matter which of the two princes proclaimed emperor after His Majesty's death, it has nothing to do with Ye Xiuming. He is His Majesty's loyal minister and also holds the military power of Luoyang. As long as he gives an order to block Luoyang City, the general will hold the power of the world's troops. In this Luoyang City, there are still fish on Ye Zhao's chopping board."

Looking at He Jin's face, Wang Yun continued with a smile: "If Prince Bian is appointed as the emperor, everyone will be happy. The general is the prince Bian's uncle. What kind of support does Ye Zhao dare not do anything to the general, but if Prince Xie is appointed as the emperor, how should the general deal with it?"

He Jin was silent when he heard this, which was undoubtedly the result he didn't want to see the least.

Wang Yun smiled and said, "If Prince Xie succeeded to the throne, he would not have such a backer as a general in Luoyang, so he could only rely on Ye Zhao, so he would be closer to Ye Xiuming. For one day, Prince Xie would not be at peace, so he would join forces with Ye Zhao to eliminate the general first, and then seize the military power of the general. By then, he would have both the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City and the military power of the general. At that time, he would probably change his position as the general!"

"He dares!" He Jin couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this.

"When Ye Xiuming was dissatisfied with Yi Zhen's distribution in the army, he openly threatened General Yi Zhen with crossbow arrows. At that time, he was just a small captain, so he was so arrogant. If he had to be in a high position and hold heavy troops in his hand, the general said, "Will he dare not?" Wang Yun continued to lure him in a straightforward manner.

He Jin frowned when he heard this, looked at Yuan Wei and said, "What is the matter with the Grand Tutor? You might as well say it directly."

Yuan Wei sighed and said, "I watched the astrological signs last night. I saw that the Ziwei Emperor Star was dim and it was unstable. However, there was a demon star on the side of the Emperor Star, but there was a dazzling light!"

"..." He Jin looked at Yuan Wei with a confused look on his face. OK, just talk about things, what are you doing when you say things?

"According to the astrological speculation, the day when Your Majesty dies is probably tonight!" Yuan Wei looked at He Jin and said with a smile.

"You want to..." He Jin was shocked when he heard this, suddenly stood up, pointed at Yuan Wei, unable to speak for a while, and whispered for a while: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"I did nothing." Yuan Wei smiled.

The genius believes in you!

He Jin snorted coldly. If someone hadn't tampered with it, how could Yuan Wei have calculated the emperor's death so accurately?

"General!" Wang Yun took a step forward and looked at He Jin and said, "Time is endless! Your Majesty is becoming stronger and stronger. Not only does he persecut our scholars, General Think about it, how much power is left in the hands of the general in the past year? How many soldiers can the general be adjusted in Luoyang City? Even the Five Northern Army Schools are now faintly replaced by the Eight Schools of the West Garden. Qian Shuo is just a eunuch, but he holds heavy troops. On the contrary, the general has his military power constantly being cut off. His words are becoming more and more powerless in the court. Ye Xiuming is also his minion. If this continues, if Your Majesty does not die, the general is afraid that there will be no more time."

"So what?" He Jin said dejectedly: "In this Luoyang city, the military power has been controlled by Ye Zhao. The five Northern Army schools and the Yulin Army are all outside the city. How can I compete with him?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun looked at Yuan Wei and smiled and said, "Now there is a chance. It only depends on whether the general is willing to clear the emperor and kill the treacherous and slander!"

Wang Yun didn't say who was a treacherous person, but everyone naturally knew it.

"What opportunity is it?" He Jin frowned.

"As far as I know, the Sili School Commander under Ye Zhao has been sent by him to Chenggao to escort his wife and children. Before he returned, there are only the three guards of Luben in Luoyang City." Wang Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty feels that his body cannot support him. He will definitely recruit Ye Zhao into the palace. At that time, we can take the opportunity to seize the city gate and welcome the five northern army into the city. First control Luoyang, and then convince the new recruits of the eight schools. At that time, the military power is in hand. Ye Zhao will be a famous general in the world, with only a few soldiers. How can he compete with us?" Wang Yun said hesitantly.

"On the Luoyang Defense Force..." He Jin looked at Wang Yun and frowned.

"Wu Qiong, the captain of Zhengyang Gate, will welcome the army into the city at that time. The general will immediately send someone to summon troops!" Wang Yun said with a smile.

After hesitating for a while, He Jin finally nodded and agreed, discussed with the two of them, and sent them out.

Looking at the slowly closed He Mansion, Wang Yun and Yuan Wei smiled. Wang Yun bowed and said, "The two tigers of Taifu Xin are very smart in fighting for food. He Jin really agreed. Now he just waits for He Jin to lead the Five Northern Army Schools to compete with Ye Zhao's Lu Ben Three Guards. We can rescue Ben Chu and let Ben Chu go to persuade the new army in Xiyuan. At that time, we can reap the profits."

Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Feng Fang is a greedy person. I am not worried. But Bao Hong is a butcher disciple after all... Are you sure?"
