The sky is getting brighter, and the troops and horses that were originally arranged gradually return to the formation, and it is time to rest and repair. After all, people are not made of iron. They stayed up late last night. If they continue to advance today, it will consume too much and the gain will not be worth the loss.
However, ordinary soldiers went to rest, but Fei Qian still couldn't rest.
Li Dian looked very embarrassed. After all, no one who fell off his horse and suffered a bloody head would still look dignified and majestic. However, it can still be seen that Li Dian himself is still a person with relatively refined habits.
Although Li Dian's beard is now stained with mud and dirt, it can be seen that it was carefully trimmed and trimmed before. This is just like the hair of women in later generations. There is still some difference between whether it is often taken care of and whether it is never left alone.
Yes, even if you are naturally beautiful, you still need proper protection behind it, just like Mr. Guan’s beard, which is usually hidden in a bag of tips to protect against sun, wind, dust and water...
In addition, although the armor on Li Dian's body is now a little crooked and broken, it can also be seen that it has been well maintained on weekdays. The areas where stains and sweat stains are likely to accumulate on the armor have been cleaned quite cleanly, and the silk used to connect the ties has been cleaned up.
The sash is also the original color, unlike the big-headed soldiers who are so gray and black that they don’t even know what their original color is.
"Come here! Untie General Li!" Fei Qian said with a smile.
Li Dian glanced at Fei Qian and didn't say anything particularly harsh. He just waited for the soldiers to untie the rope, rubbed his wrists, and slightly arched his hand to Fei Qian to express his gratitude, but still said nothing.
"I wonder if General Li's family is in Xu County or Luoyang?" Fei Qian asked the guards on the side to bring him water bags, and then waited for Li Dian to take a few sips and stop, and asked in a leisurely manner.
road.
Li Dian was stunned, silent for a moment, and replied: "Go back to Qiaoqi...in Xu County..."
Fei Qian nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
Li Dian's expression suddenly changed, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he fell silent.
Things often have two sides, and it depends on how the individual understands them. Sometimes if you think it is positive, then it is positive. But once you wonder if there is a hidden side, you will inevitably mutter, as if in vain.
When you see black dots on paper, you will feel that the black dots are very dazzling.
"So, after a while, I will send General Li back to Xu County..." Fei Qian paused for a moment, and then continued, "General Li will stay somewhere for the time being... I don't know what you think?"
Fei Qian smiled sincerely, but in Li Dian's eyes, he felt it was so hateful, but the problem was that he couldn't express any objection...
Before coming to see Fei Qian, Li Dian had already thought a lot, including what Fei Qian would say, such as about his family and the world, such as fame and wealth, he might even use the name of the emperor, he might slander Cao Cao, etc.
, but what he didn't expect was that Fei Qian came up without any advice or said anything. He just asked where his family members were, and then expressed his willingness to send Li Dian back, but he would have to wait for a while.
To put it bluntly, such conditions cannot be called unfavorable, and can even be said to be quite benevolent. However, behind such benevolence and benevolence, there is a big problem.
Li Dian naturally knows Cao Cao's character. Yes, if he does what Fei Qian said, Li Dian will definitely be able to go back, and there is no doubt that Cao Cao will smile and comfort him in public, saying that it is not Li Dian's fault
, and then you might even hold Li Dian's hand in public and arrange for people to calm Li Dian's shock and cleanse him, but what happens after that?
It is foreseeable that as long as Fei Qian still exists, Cao Cao will not continue to use Li Dian.
If it were Li Dian himself, he probably thought so too. Xiao Pingjin was lost for no reason, and then he ran out of Luoyang City, was captured in Mengjin, and then came back unscathed. Such an experience would be difficult for anyone to compare
There are probably more than a dozen question marks on this person, not to mention the fact that it turned out to be Cao Cao who was very suspicious.
Li Dian smiled bitterly and said: "It would be better if I give you death!"
Fei Qian shook his head and said: "A certain person and Sikong have always been on good terms with each other. There is no enmity between them, but it's just because the people under my command are a little... well, good at making opinions... so there are some misunderstandings. I came here specifically to explain one or two things...
How can you kill Sikong's general? You must not, you must not..."
"Misunderstanding..." Li Dian looked at Fei Qian helplessly, speechless for a moment.
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan have always been famous. When they arrived in Chang'an, they said that the emperor wanted to patrol Chang'an. I didn't know whether it was true or not, so I sent Wang Zhongxuan to Xu County to set a date. If the emperor really wanted to visit Yongliang."
When hunting, someone should arrange for the village elders to burn incense and sweep the floor to greet them..."
Fei Qian's remarks are not a shirking of responsibility. Because Fei Qian has never said anything to welcome the emperor. Since he was still in Beidi, Fei Qian has expressed his obedience to the emperor again and again.
The emperor can go wherever he wants. The world is the territory of the Han Dynasty. Wherever the emperor wants to go is the emperor's wish. When Liu Xie was still in Pingyang, Fei Qian also said in public that if the emperor is willing to go to Luoyang, he can
When going to Luoyang, he stayed in Pingyang in the north if he wanted to. In the end, Liu Xie chose to go back to Luoyang, and later chose to go to Xu County.
So there is absolutely no problem with what Fei Qian said.
"But..." Li Dian swallowed, "Wang Zhongxuan... said Qiaoqi wanted to welcome the emperor..."
"So, is there a misunderstanding?" Fei Qian laughed and said, "The emperor is the master of the Han Dynasty. It is up to the emperor to decide where he wants to go. Is it up to his ministers to comment?"
Li Dian twitched the corner of his mouth, what he said was really "husband" and made it difficult for people to talk to him.
The more magnanimous Fei Qian acted, the more he revealed Cao Cao's ulterior motives. On the one hand, Fei Qian's generous expression said that the world is all big men, and all big men are one family. Then the emperor can go wherever he wants, and on the other hand, Cao Cao pinched him tightly.
Looking at Liu Xie, he said that no one should rob me, and I would be in a hurry with anyone who dares to take action...
Such a performance is naturally a judgment call.
If others said such words, they would probably be ridiculed for standing and talking without backache or something. However, the emperor Liu Xie did spend some time in Pingyang, so Fei Qian's words like this seemed natural and confident.
Fei Qian was confident, but Li Dian was not.
After a moment of silence, Li Dian said: "So, the Hussar attacking Luoyang is also a misunderstanding?"
Fei Qian laughed and said, "How did I ever attack Luoyang? I just wanted to sacrifice myself in front of His Majesty, and just passed through Xiaopingjin! I knew that General Li would listen to the lies and block Yu, so he took this tack. I also hope that Li will
General Haihan..."
"This..." Li Dian's expression clearly showed that he didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't say anything to refute it. Fei Qian indeed only hit Xiao Pingjin, but Li Dian himself came to the door, aiming at Yu.
Regarding the city of Luoyang, General Fei Qian did not attack it.
Strictly speaking, Xiaopingjin is also directly subordinate to Luoyang, which is not wrong, but if you put it this way, Luoyang is still directly subordinate to the entire Han Dynasty! Now that the general Yuan Shao is dead, in terms of military positions in the Han Dynasty, Hussar
The general is the highest commander in chief, so Li Dian and others still need to obey Fei Qian's orders in name...
Therefore, Li Dian finally had nothing to say and could only respond in silence.
Fei Qian smiled and didn't care. He called Xun You and asked him to take Li Dian down to rest.
The smarter a person is, the more he is able to get into trouble, and it is not easy to turn around. Cao Cao is obviously a smart person, and Fei Qian felt that Cao Cao was as unruly as the wind in his later years, so he became suspicious of his own son Cao Pi
, not only often scares myself, but also scares others to the point of trembling.
Li Dian is obviously also a smart person, so he will be aware of this problem sooner or later.
It is not impossible to persuade Li Dian to surrender now, but it is not necessary. On the contrary, it is a better way to let Li Dian go back and exert a potential influence on the generals with other surnames under Cao Cao's rule.
,
Cao Cao's military power basically fell into the hands of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. The so-called "five good generals" were just Cao Cao's way of showing how much he valued generals with foreign surnames. Moreover, these generals were indeed powerful, so they were somewhat established to give them to the generals.
What others think means, although Li Dian is not among the "Five Sons of Good Generals", he is considered to be relatively well-off among the generals with foreign surnames, so his experience is very serious for the generals with foreign surnames under Cao Cao's rule.
It has reference significance.
What if Fei Qian surrendered as soon as he came up, and then Li Dian refused to surrender, either for his family, for his reputation, or for some other reason?
Kill directly?
Obviously it's inappropriate, so it's better to just bury a nail that both Cao Cao and Li Dian will swallow, and wait for the nail to slowly grow and rot...
Therefore, Fei Qian did not say a word to persuade him to surrender, and even said that he would send Li Dian back. As a result, even if Li Dian had any "generous words", he could not say a single word.
Xun You took Li Dian and walked to the side of the camp.
Fei Qian watched Xun You leave with Li Dian, turned around and said to Zhao Yun, "Why don't you bother Zilong to make another trip to get Li Mancheng's weapons and equipment, and show off your power under Luoyang! Inform Wen Yuan and get out of the way.
If Cao's troops are defeated, let them go."
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders!"
This is also Xun You's follow-up strategy, one link within another.
Luoyang City can only be regarded as a frontline military city. It is not like the imperial capital of the past. Therefore, there are not many ordinary people in the city, but more soldiers recruited from various places. Some of these soldiers may not be human beings.
Everyone is sober, and not all of them may be loyal to Cao Cao. Most of them should be of the type who takes soldiers' pay and works for whom. Therefore, once it is known that Li Dian has been captured, it is very likely that he will be without a leader.
Chaos arose, even causing roars...
Of course, if there is someone in Luoyang City who can stand up, suppress the chaos, gather people's hearts, and control the emotions of the soldiers so that they will not be immediately disbanded, Fei Qian will not care, because in that case, on the one hand, he must control the soldiers in the city.
, on the other hand, we have to guard against Fei Qian's men sneak attack and break through, so naturally it is impossible to be much of a threat. At most, it is just defending. It has no impact on Fei Qian, who has no plan to attack Luoyang City in the first place.
.
Xun You knew very well the situation of Cao Cao's soldiers, so he made such a targeted strategy that was simply irresistible. After all, people's human nature is like this, and there are some contradictions in Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou. The soldiers in Yuzhou looked down on the soldiers in Yanzhou, because the riots in Yanzhou were very troublesome.
Once, the Yanzhou soldiers also looked down on the Qingzhou soldiers, because most of the Qingzhou soldiers were transferred from the original Yellow Turbans. Similarly, the Qingzhou soldiers also looked down on the Yuzhou soldiers, thinking that these guys only know how to shout and drink on weekdays, and are timid in fighting.
force……
If the general is still there, it can still be controlled to some extent. Now that Xiaopingjin has fallen, a powerful enemy is on the side, and the general has been captured by the enemy. The morale of the army is swayed, just like when the performance is good, the company is harmonious, but when the performance is not good
All kinds of conflicts suddenly broke out. Can Luoyang City still maintain stability?
As expected by Fei Qian and Xun You, when the soldiers in Luoyang City learned that Li Dian had been captured, they immediately became riotous. In addition, they saw Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun leading the soldiers to the direction of Yuzhou, Cao Cao's territory.
The road suddenly became noisy. At dusk, before night fell, a chaotic commotion suddenly broke out in the city. Immediately, a city gate was opened, and a large number of disorderly people poured out, more or less burdened with
Some of these things were even dragging and killing each other, heading towards Yuzhou like refugees along the road.
After a while, fire broke out in the city, and the four gates were opened one after another. Some people took the initiative to find Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to express their surrender, but more people fled in panic, abandoning Luoyang again.
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun first sent some personnel into the city. After controlling the fire and city defense, they sent troops and horses to the city one after another for repairs. They reported to General Fei Qian, not to mention that Xiahou Dun in Yangcheng learned about Luoyang.
The news of the fall of the enemy and the retreat of the troops was so shocking that I was speechless for a long time.
Yes, everyone knows that Luoyang City is already in ruins, so if it encounters a strong attack or siege, it will collapse sooner or later. However, neither Cao Cao nor Xiahou Dun expected that Luoyang City would fall so quickly.
, we just received news yesterday that the Hussars Brigade had arrived in Luoyang, and today we received news that Luoyang had been lost!
This is simply...
terrible!
In the past two days, Xiahou Dun was having a headache because of Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie's team near Xu County.
Although Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie commanded not many soldiers, it was indeed not an easy task to surround them in the vast area of Yuzhou. In addition, it was the busy spring period.
Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie did not attack that fort, but the young crops in the fields were in bad shape.
Wheat seedlings are juicy and nutritious. They are the favorite green food of cattle, sheep and horses. Therefore, even if not many people and cities were damaged, these wasted seedlings alone made the gentry children in the Yingchuan area of Yuzhou complain endlessly and started to complain.
Go to Xu County to find trouble with Xun Yu and others. After all, you have paid taxes for so many years, but when something goes wrong, there is no protection in place. Who is going to do this?
Xun Yu and Xia Houdun mobilized their troops and were gradually reducing the space for Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie to move. When they were about to force them into the mountains and forests to clear them out, they suddenly received the news of the fall of Luoyang.
The duck you got is about to fly, or you may have bought all the numbers correctly but it is like winning the grand prize in the next period. The complicated feeling in your heart is simply difficult to describe in words...
