Chapter 936 Burning the Building on Fire
Regarding personnel disputes and disputes within the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, Li Zhi and others can still rely on Otsuka Zai's remaining power to deter them, but for external doubts, such as those from Hou Mo and Chen Chong, they are a little unsure of how to deal with them. .
Hou Mo and Chen Chong are not only the most prestigious and powerful among the people who stayed behind, but are now stationed in Weinan with their troops. As the Shannan division and brigade have entered Wuguan, they are the front line to resist Shannan's invasion of Guanzhong.
His thoughts and attitude directly determine the next situation in Guanzhong and the fate of everyone in the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office. If Hou Mo and Chen Chong choose to combine with the Shannan forces out of doubt and distrust of the Zhongwai Palace, then their Zhongwai Palace can announce their dissolution on the spot.
Therefore, Li Zhi and others were very cautious about how to reply to Hou Mo and Chen Chong, and they discussed for a long time without making a final plan. Some people even proposed to release Grand Sima Duguxin and let him reply to Hou Mo and Chen Chong and negotiate with the Shannan Division to get them to withdraw from Wuguan. But this was obviously just a whim, and it was rejected as soon as it was proposed.
This incident had already made them a little anxious, and then something happened that immediately made Li Zhi break out in a cold sweat, that is, his subordinate Jinzhuo Lueyang Gong Yu Wenjue suddenly led a group of armored soldiers to leave the Zhongwai Mansion, and then went to Shasha. Go to the garden.
"When faced with a serious matter, why don't you regret your own life? In a chaotic situation, we can only solve it quickly! The thief has already knocked at the door, why should we open the door to welcome the thief?"
Unlike Li Zhi and others who were hesitant and hesitant, Yu Wenjue's thinking was more direct and thorough: "Isn't it just to cope with this change that the former manned the armor soldiers? We must kill thieves when they come, why bother to do something else?" Don't think about it! The people in the house are hesitant and difficult to deal with because they are afraid of the powerful thieves and have the desire to do things in a flattering manner, so it's better for me to make a decision quickly."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yongren, who had specially ordered his entourage to go out with him, and said, "General Wu Wei, do you think my plan is right? Is there any other way to supplement it?"
"Gong Lueyang is resolute and resolute, so he entrusted all the affairs of his family and country to me before he left. The defeat of the army and the enemy's defeat are really worrying. But even if you are in panic all day long, it will not help. The only way is to have the courage to create Things can be saved.”
After Zhao Yongren heard this, he quickly said: "Li Boshan is indeed fierce and formidable, but he is by no means invincible. Otherwise, why would he be trapped in Shannan? Now we are taking advantage of the chaos to enter Wuguan, but if we can make the people in Guanzhong fight against the enemy together, we must The army can return without success. When the army returns to the court, the mountains and rivers will be stabilized, the enemy will be strong, and the country will be protected. I am very lucky to have you under my command!"
Hearing Zhao Yongren's answer, Yu Wenjue couldn't help laughing, and immediately waved his hand and said: "The thief has been strong for a long time, so he should not be underestimated, and he must be cautious before making a decision. I know that the eldest uncle did something wrong in the past, so General Wuwei is also troubled and worried about the contradiction between loyalty and filial piety. But if he can help me this time, it will be nothing more than a trivial matter, and he can still be honorable and there will be no accountability!"
"Thank you so much, Duke Lueyang! Thank you so much, Duke Lueyang!"
After Zhao Yongren heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Yu Wenjue repeatedly.
Soon the group arrived at the Wanshou Palace in Shayuan and outside the attic where Dugu Xinbu was stationed. Yuwenjue first sent someone forward to shout: "The Eastern Expedition Brigade has withdrawn to Tongguan, and the Lord will return to Tongguan soon." In the prefecture, the soldiers of Shannan were also refused to the south of Wuguan. If the Grand Sima is willing to plead guilty to the law, he will be given a lighter sentence!"
Duguxin in the attic laughed when he heard this, and also asked others to reply: "The former was careless and was attacked by the younger generation, so why should we bully each other now? It is my wish that Otsuka Zaisheng returns to Tongzhou. However, if the soldiers of Shannan can be ignored by Cao Cao, how can the heroes of the world allow mediocrity to become famous? Go away, don't be a gimmick!"
After Yu Wenjue heard this, he immediately showed a look of shame and annoyance. He walked around the attic with an angry look and realized that the layout here was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There were also hundreds of Dugu Xin's troops stationed inside and outside. He wanted to I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to attack it.
When he saw a lot of bamboo and wood debris piled up in the attic of the palace, Yu Wenjue's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought about it. He ordered his subordinates to pile up these bamboo and wood debris around the attic and place them in a row. Put on a posture of making a fire attack.
When the soldiers outside the building saw this, they quickly went inside to report the situation to Dugu Xin. Dugu Xin walked to the door and saw what happened and immediately frowned. When he heard his subordinates asking for instructions on whether to break out, He waved his hands slowly, not believing that Yu Wenjue really dared to set fire to him and burn him to death here.
At this time, outside the attic, Yu Wenjue was urging his subordinates with a ruthless look on his face, while he poured jars of fuel-adding ointment on the bamboo and wood debris himself.
"Please be careful, Duke Lueyang. After all, Da Sima is the senior citizen of the country and has a good reputation..."
Zhao Yongren, who was standing next to him, saw that Yu Wenjue was trying to make a fake show, and he was a little panicked for a moment, so he quickly stepped forward and whispered advice.
However, it was better that he didn't speak out. Such a suggestion immediately angered Yu Wenjue even more. Yu Wenjue directly drew out his sword and put it on Zhao Yongren's neck, saying angrily: "Yi Fu Yongren is teasing me? I am not afraid of the giant bandits in Shannan, so why should I be afraid of the old thieves who have lost power in the building! If the old thieves remain, people's hearts will remain. Repeatedly, only by killing him quickly can you defend the enemy with all your heart! Come and set fire to the building for me, otherwise, you will die with the thief!"
Zhao Yongren was not a resolute and courageous person at first. At this moment, his neck was pressed by a sharp blade, and he felt even more panicked. He nodded repeatedly and said: "At the end of the day, I will accept the order. Please, please give me the fire, Lord Lueyang."
As Zhao Yongren threw the torch into the bamboo and wood debris, several other places were also set on fire, and a wall of fire surrounding the attic rose into the sky in an instant. But when he saw the fireworks rising, Dugu Xin finally realized that the son of an old friend was really so ruthless, decisive and crazy, and he hurriedly ordered his troops to break out.
However, it was too late by this time. The wall of fire was more than ten feet thick and surrounded the attic. The wind from outside was fanning the fire, blowing the fireworks into the attic. In addition, Yu Wenjue still ordered to throw ointment inward. Firewood was used to fuel the fire, and the entire attic might soon be engulfed. Even if there were people who rushed out of the fire wall despite the danger of being on fire, they were all hacked to death by the armored soldiers guarding the outside.
When Li Zhi led the crowd to pursue this place, he saw that the entire attic was in flames, and Yu Wenjue stood outside the fire with a knife in his hand, with a cruel look on his face, and saw Li Zhi and others looking frightened. At this time, Yu Wenjue couldn't help but laugh: "From this day on, I will be incompatible with the thieves!"
Under the heat of the fire and the ups and downs of mood, Li Zhi and others were sweating profusely. Originally, they thought they could use their ingenuity to maneuver around, but they were completely destroyed by the fire.
"Quick, quick... quickly put this palace under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
After he regained his senses a little, Li Zhi waved his hand and ordered to clean up the mess. But at this moment, he had no idea what to do properly. When his confused eyes saw Zhao Yongren, who was standing next to Yu Wenjue, who was in a daze. , and then he hurriedly asked: "Is Uncle Zong okay now?"
Zhao Gui, who was in another attic, also noticed the fire rising from the Wanshou Palace, and was alarmed and suspicious. When Li Zhi brought Yu Wenjue and Zhao Yongren, who had caused great trouble, to come here to tell them what had happened, Zhao Gui was immediately stunned. I was also shocked and angry, and my hands and feet were cold.
"It's unfortunate for our family to have such an evil son! It's a harm to the country and the family. You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
After Zhao Gui came to his senses, he drew out his sword and used the back of the sword to beat his son Zhao Yongren, who was kneeling on the ground in despair. While beating him, he cursed: "The elders of the Great Sima Kingdom, even if they are guilty, should be judged in court. What can you do?" How dare you lynch him! The King of Taiyuan is already difficult to control, but now that he has become so hostile, you are afraid that there will be no chaos in Guanzhong and a river of blood!"
Although Zhao Gui was scolding his son, Yu Wenjue, the instigator, heard every word of it with heart-wrenching words. He frowned and said angrily: "If you had not waited for the old man to come back to meet me privately, how could the situation have ended like this? Uncle Zong has you You can teach me, but if not, why should I be afraid of raising another fire?"
Hearing Yu Wenjue's scolding, Zhao Gui was furious for a moment. He glared at Yu Wenjue in disbelief. Seeing that there was a trace of seriousness in his cold expression, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry. After a while, he sighed: "The younger generations are to be feared. The remaining old people are indeed rotten and embarrassing. Those who underestimate the younger ones should suffer this disaster!"
"Although Duke Lueyang lost control of his emotions, his actions were to protect the country and protect his family. Although he was impetuous in his plans, his intentions were still pure. Didn't the great Sima suffer this misfortune because of himself? The great uncle was coerced by him and returned home. You should be fully aware of his conspiracy. The reason why Da Sima escaped from the battle was to betray the emperor and betray the country. Da Zongbo is a loyal minister, so he should report to the court to express his guilt!"
After experiencing the initial panic, Li Zhi gradually regained his composure and directly put a hastily drafted accusation against Grand Sima Duguxin on the case. He also looked at Zhao Gui with a sinister expression and threatened him here. Sign the memorial.
Zhao Gui was threatened by this, and he did not doubt that these crazy guys really dared to do it to him. Seeing the shining blade in front of him, he could only helplessly write his name with a pen, but soon he He looked up at Yu Wenjue and said, "The reason why Duke Lueyang killed Da Sima was because he ordered everyone to work together to fight against Shannan.
The accusation made by me alone is not enough. Only the collective accusation of a group of people can make Da Sima's accusation solid. In addition to the children, there are many people in the government who are doing things. They should all be ordered to actively expose the crimes of Da Sima, so that Duke Lueyang can gather people's hearts. "
After hearing the words, Yu Wenjue nodded and said: "Thank you for the advice, Uncle Zong. I have exactly the same idea. I know that Shannan is strong, and I have no intention of competing with it for a while. But if I can distinguish the internal and external power with it, I can continue my ancestral legacy without losing anything." , I will be satisfied. After the momentum is achieved, I will also have to rely on you to protect me."
After Zhao Gui heard this, he just chuckled twice and said nothing more.
