Chapter 41: Introducing the King into the Urn

Jia Xu thought: "The situation in Chang'an is now out of control! Although Guo Si and Li are temporarily at the upper hand, when Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's army arrives, the current advantage will be lost immediately!"

"According to Mr. Guo Si's opinion, won't Guo Bangli indeed be wiped out soon?" Wang Yun asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "No! If we look at the current situation in the Chang'an area, as long as Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's army arrive in time, Guo Si and Li will be destroyed sooner or later! But don't forget to write a letter Yuan Shao east of Guguan!"

Everyone understood immediately when they heard this. Cai Yong nodded and said: "With the chaos in Chang'an, Yuan Shao will definitely take the opportunity to move westward! But he is currently fighting Gongsun Zan and has the upper hand. Will he give up such a good situation?" Zhang Lang and Wang Yun also had the same question.

Jia Xu twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Although Yuan Shao is a timid and timid man with great ambition and talent, the benefits of advancing westward are obvious! He will never abandon it! Once Yuan Shao comes to attack, Dong Zhuo will inevitably divide his troops. In this way, Dong Zhuo will divide his troops." , Guo Si and Li Que can get a chance to breathe, and it is natural to take the opportunity to occupy a corner!"

Zhang Lang felt that what Jia Xu said made sense and nodded, "Then what should we do?"

"Leave here and return to the five northern counties! Prepare your troops and wait for the opportunity!"

Wang Yun frowned and said: "How can this be done? How can we ignore His Majesty?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "What's the use of staying? Should I continue to stay with Dong Zhuo or cooperate with Guo Si and Li Que? Dong Zhuo has long distrusted the general. The previous move to summon the general back to Chang'an was actually to put him under house arrest. General, now that you have finally had a chance to escape from the tiger's mouth, how can you go back? Guo Si and Li Que are both wolves, killing and robbing people is cruel and abominable! If you cooperate with Guo Si and Li Que, I am afraid that your Majesty will be ruined before you can rescue him! Such an approach The gain is really not worth the loss! What’s more, Guo Si and Li really have no faith and are not people to cooperate with."

Everyone was silent, Zhang Lang said: "It seems that we can only go back first and then make plans!" He glanced at Wang Yun and Cai Yong, "Master Situ, what do you think of the bachelor?"

Cai Yong said: "What Wen He said is absolutely true. Let the general make the decision!"

Wang Yun sighed and nodded.

Zhang Lang stood up quickly, "Okay! Since everyone thinks so, let's go back north without further ado!" In fact, Zhang Lang had wanted to go back for a long time. Staying here and engaging in intrigues made him feel very hard, and he didn't like it. a feeling.

Later, Zhang Lang informed Princess Qingcheng of his decision and asked her to decide whether to stay or go. After thinking about it, Princess Qingcheng felt that it was useless to stay, so she decided to go to the five northern counties with Zhang Lang and the others.

That day, everyone broke up camp and set off.

The long journey was very hard, and both Yan Yuyao and Princess Qingcheng, who were in weak health, fell ill. Zhang Lang decided to stop in Fushi City and wait for the two women's conditions to improve before setting off on the road. Fushi City, where the Shangjun government is located, is located in She The north bank of Yanshui is about 70 miles south of the current Yulin City in Shaanxi Province. It is an important town in the north. Although it is not as large as the big cities in the Central Plains, it is indeed the location of a very important horse market.

When the group of people arrived outside Fushi City, Huang Qin, the governor of Shangjun, and his subordinates from the county came out of the city to greet them, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

A group of people followed Wei Huang into Fushi City, and Wei Huang arranged for them to live in a compound in the north of the city. With nearly four thousand people living there, it didn't seem particularly crowded.

Later, Wei Huang sent people to bring a large amount of wine, meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, and also sent all the best doctors in the city. His host treated him with meticulous care.

Zhang Lang personally settled Yan Yuyao, made the medicinal soup with his own hands, and brought it to the bed.

"Xiaoyue, help me lift Yuyao up."

Li Xiaoyue responded, and quickly stepped forward to help Yan Yuyao up. Yan Yuyao's face was a little pale, and she looked like a sick beauty. Zhang Lang scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup, blew it, and brought it to Yan Yuyao's lips, "Here, take the medicine."

Drink it and your illness will be cured!"

Yan Yuyao couldn't help but tears filled her eyes. Zhang Lang asked puzzledly: "Yuyao, what's wrong with you?" Then he smiled and said: "Don't worry about this illness, it's not a serious illness! You will be fine soon!" Yan Yuyao nodded.

He nodded and drank the spoonful of medicinal soup handed over by Zhang Lang. Just drinking the medicinal soup handed over by Zhang Lang spoon by spoon, he didn't feel how bitter it was, and he felt sweet in his heart.

After feeding her the medicinal soup, Zhang Lang carefully helped Yan Yuyao lie down, made a quilt for her, kissed her lips, and said with a smile: "Have a good sleep! When you wake up, your illness will be cured!"

"Yeah!" Yan Yuyao nodded and closed her eyes.

Zhang Lang smiled, told Diao Chan and the Li sisters to take good care of Yan Yuyao, and left.

At this time, there was another patient lying next door. This patient was the sister of the current emperor, titled "Princess Qingcheng." Just now, she was drinking bitter medicinal soup under the service of the palace maid, and heard Zhang Lang next door.

He showed his meticulous care and tenderness to Yan Yuyao, and when he thought that although he was a princess, he was left here alone with no one caring about him, he couldn't help but feel desolate, and he envied the woman next door.

After Zhang Lang came out of Yan Yuyao's room, he came to the hall. Generals Gao Shun, Zang Ba and Jia Xu were waiting for him in the hall. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.

Zhang Lang walked up and sat down.

Jia Xu said jokingly: "I didn't expect that the general is the most brave in the world, but he is also as tender as water!"

Zhang Lang laughed loudly, "Let Wen He laugh!"

Jia Xu smiled and said seriously: "I think there is something wrong with this Wei Huang!"

"What's wrong?"

"He is so enthusiastic! As a close confidant of Dong Zhuo, he will not be ignorant of Dong Zhuo's suspicion of the general! If I were him, at least I would not let the general enter the city easily. I would never be so enthusiastic!"

Zhang Lang frowned and asked, "Do you suspect that he wants to do harm to us?"

Jia Xu said: "It is essential to be on guard against others! I think we should send a few clever soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians and go around to get a feel for the situation! We will step up our guard!"

Zhang Lang nodded and said to Zang Ba: "Immediately do as the military advisor said!" "Promise." Zang Ba promised with clasped fists and left quickly.

"Gao Shun, tell everyone to be more vigilant. The horse will not take off its saddle and the man will not take off his armor. We should be prepared for any unexpected events at any time!"

"No!" Gao Shun agreed and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

"What other orders does the general have?"

Zhang Lang stood up and walked to Gao Shun, "Send more guards around Yuyao and the others!"

"Promise!" Gao Shun clasped his fists in agreement and left quickly.

Zhang Lang turned around and asked Jia Xu: "Military advisor, if Wei Huang really wants to attack us, why would he let us into the city?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "This is called leading the king into the urn! The general is so brave that there is no rival in the world! There are also red rabbits and horses, climbing mountains and crossing rivers are as easy as walking on flat ground! If we do it outside the city, even thousands of troops and horses will not be able to do it."

There is no way we can stop the general! If we let the general in and then lock the four doors, the general will be unable to fly even if he has great abilities!"

Zhang Lang nodded and glanced at Jia Xu, "The military advisor has long suspected that Wei Huang has ulterior motives?"

Jia Xu nodded.

Zhang Lang asked angrily: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Now that we have all come in, what will happen if he really takes action?"
