Chapter 240 Game
"What the hell is Zhu Gongwei doing for a living?!" Guo Hao was anxious and angry. Zhu Jun had one and a half imperial guards and 20,000 soldiers under his command, but he could not defeat the rebels who had lost the support of the aristocratic families. No wonder he could not be included in the Temple of Martial Arts, but only in the Biographies of 100 Generals in the Seventeen Histories, and that was in the Song Dynasty.
This defeat completely disrupted the policy of weakening the aristocratic families designated by Chen Xi, Jia Xu and others. If all went well, after this operation, the Han Dynasty would be completely under Guo Hao's control.
Such a unified situation would also allow Chen Xi to better carry out his economic construction work, but unexpectedly, Zhu Jun failed.
Guo Hao really didn't know how the army of King Chuang had defeated Zhu Jun. After all, he was one of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty. Why did he always suffer defeat?
This matter was definitely beyond his control. He had emptied the power of Luoyang and was planning to go fishing, but he didn't expect Zhu Jun to fail when fighting against the peasant uprising army. It seemed that he also failed when fighting against the Yellow Turbans? He was really unreliable.
Guo Hao is in a bit of a difficult situation now. There are only two people who can be considered military generals in Luoyang City, one is him and the other is Sun Jian.
However, in the fishing plan, Sun Jian is another hook that cannot be used at all. The excuse Sun Jian gave was that he was seriously ill, and the diagnosis was given by Hua Tuo.
Jia Xu commissioned Hua Tuo to accept bribes from the aristocratic families and write a diagnosis for Sun Jian. If Sun Jian set off now, all the previous plans against the aristocratic families would basically be invalidated.
Rebellion is a big deal. Once those aristocratic families are alerted, they will completely hide and it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again.
It can be said that the situation was originally very good, but Zhu Jun failed miserably.
The situation had already failed, and the letter also said to defend the city. Why not just wait until the other armies have finished fighting and then go to provide support?
But it happened to be Zhu Jun, and it happened to be Yanzhou. If there was another chance, Guo Hao would rather send Zhu Jun to Jizhou than let anything happen to Yanzhou.
Chen Xi and other counselors are all in Yingchuan, Yanzhou. Even if they have guards, they can't stop a large army.
"Send Wang Yue to inform Jiang Wei and Hua Mulan to change their route!" Guo Hao had no choice but to give up and contact Jiang Wei and Hua Mulan who had just left Luoyang. Chen Xi only had Dian Wei by his side. If he encountered a large army, it would be difficult for him to get out.
"Don't worry, General. The so-called Dashun Army was originally the work of the local aristocratic families in Yanzhou. Even if Zhu Gongwei is defeated, Yingchuan will not be affected." Jia Xu comforted Guo Hao calmly.
"Zichuan must not be allowed to get into trouble!" Guo Hao had a worried look on his face. How did they collide with each other?
Huangfu Song was sent to Qingzhou to support the players. After Li Ru had talked with Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song had talked with the Princess, Qian Shuo, and Guo Hao respectively, and then he was satisfied and went to Hua Tuo to prolong his life.
After everything was ready, he directly applied to Guo Hao to go to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion, saying that he wanted to thoroughly improve the eight schools of Xiyuan in the process of quelling the rebellion.
Guo Hao agreed to Huangfu Song's application under Li Ru's suggestion, which also made Luoyang's military force even more empty.
Now he really has no troops at hand. Feixiong has gone to fight Huang Chao's army, Xianzhen is in Bingzhou, Xiliang Iron Cavalry is in Liangzhou, Wolf Cavalry is in Bingzhou, and Taiyang Cavalry has just left Luoyang and is in Jizhou. All the troops that can be called have been sent out.
Guo Hao counted on his fingers and found that he was the only one who could move.
"Wenhe, do you want to give up the fishing plan? I plan to go to Yanzhou to pick up Zichuan." After thinking it over, Guo Hao was still afraid that something might happen to Chen Xi and the others. If anything really happened to them, the road ahead would be very difficult.
This also made Guo Hao determined that Chen Xi's safety must be put first in the future. Even when traveling, he must be accompanied by the Military Soul Corps, which is too dangerous.
"My lord, you only need to leave one thousand Yulin soldiers to guard the imperial palace, and I will take care of the rest." Jia Xu pondered for a long time and agreed to let Guo Hao go to Yanzhou for support, but he did not agree to give up the plan. He felt that if Guo Hao was transferred away, it might be easier for the aristocratic families to take the bait.
There is no doubt about the importance of Chen Xi. Whether it is his personal talent or his special spiritual gift, Chen Xi is as important to the Han Empire as a national treasure. If something goes wrong because of a mere traitor, even Jia Xu cannot accept it.
It doesn't seem to be a bad idea to let Guo Hao lead the Yulin Army to rescue and completely empty Luoyang's defense forces.
Only by allowing those aristocratic families with ulterior motives to see a big enough flaw can these families be unable to resist jumping out. The emptiness of Luoyang's military forces may be a good way to do this.
As for who will lead the troops after Guo Hao leaves, there is still Li Ru. Li Ru is also a legion commander who can command troops and his level is first-rate. Even if he cannot defeat Huangfu Song, he should have no problem defeating the motley crowd of aristocratic families.
It just so happened that all the fighting troops in Luoyang had been transferred away, and the quality of the remaining soldiers was about the same. At this time, it all depended on the level of command. Jia Xu didn't believe it. Could it be that the aristocratic family could find another Huangfu Song?
Moreover, there are Cao Cao and Sun Jian as internal supporters. It seems a pity to give up such a huge advantage.
Guo Hao thought about it for a while. After all, Luoyang is also a very important part now, but it is still a little worse than Chen Xi. So Guo Hao decided to agree with Jia Xu's suggestion.
Then he quickly left Luoyang with the Yulin Army, leaving only one thousand Yulin Army to guard the imperial palace.
The news of the Yulin Army leaving Luoyang and Zhu Jun's defeat spread throughout Luoyang under the promotion of Jia Xu.
Some alert residents had already noticed something was wrong, as if they had seen a similar scene before, so the residents of Luoyang retreated back to their homes without any instruction, waiting for the drama to begin.
"In this way, Luoyang's defensive forces have been basically completely emptied!" Cao Cao watched Guo Hao lead the Yulin Army rushing out of Luoyang, and then looked at the empty Luoyang and sighed helplessly.
He even felt that this was no longer a test for the family, but a test for him.
They tried to collude with him from inside and outside, and then emptied Luoyang for various accidents and reasons. If there were not 1,000 Yulin soldiers guarding the palace, he would have thought that they were really in trouble.
This made him feel confused, but after all, he was a man who could take things as they came.
Cao Cao only had a brief thought of becoming involved with the aristocratic families, and then he completely gave up the idea.
The Han Dynasty was thriving, and Jia Xu had promised to let him serve as the General of the Western Expedition to fulfill his dream. There was no need for him to die with a group of unlucky families who were unaware that they were about to die .
"Master Cao, the other gentlemen invite you to come over and discuss matters."
Cao Cao listened to Xiao Si's message and felt extremely helpless about his stupid teammates. They couldn't wait to gather together to discuss the matter as soon as Guo Hao left. Isn't this clearly telling Jia Xu and others that they are living traitors?
Even if he hadn't been the undercover agent, I'm afraid these noble families would still be in trouble.
