After resting for a day in the military camp, according to Zhao Yun's instructions, all the soldiers in the army hid in their tents to rest. Only Guo Huai and others gathered in Zhao Yun's tent to discuss what to do next. At night,
As expected, Wu Shuo came to the military camp and asked Hao Zhao, who was pretending to be Xiahou Dun, to go to the city guard's mansion for a detailed discussion.
Hao Zhao, who had been prepared for a long time, didn't say much and just followed Wu Shuo to the City Guard's Mansion. Entering the hall of the City Guard's Mansion, Wang Lang was already waiting in the hall. In addition to Wang Lang, there was another person.
A middle-aged general wearing armor sat next to Wang Lang. Hao Zhao entered the hall, his eyes lingered on the middle-aged general for a moment, and then he saluted Wang Lang again. Wang Lang was polite and returned the salute quickly, and then asked Hao Zhao.
Zhao took his seat.
After Hao Zhao sat down, Wang Lang pointed to the middle-aged general and said to Hao Zhao: "General Xiahou! This is also one of our own, General Zhongji, the captain of the south gate of Chang'an City!" Wang Lang directly addressed General Xiahou,
After all, he used to call General Yuan Rang outside just to prevent the walls from having ears. Now that he was in the hall, and he was not afraid of anyone eavesdropping, it was more appropriate for Wang Lang to call him General Xiahou.
"Zhongji?" Hao Zhao went through the name in his mind, but he had no impression. However, this person's surname, and his ability to hold such an important position as the city gate captain in Chang'an, he must have been in Luoyang back then.
The aristocratic family is a descendant of the Zhong family! This kind of family was also considered a very good official family in Luoyang back then. However, there was a man named Zhong Shao who partnered with Liu Yan's son Liu Fan to oppose the lord, and was later sent to the frontier by the lord.
, I heard that he died there a long time ago, but I don’t know what the relationship between this Zhongji and Zhongshao is. He was thinking about it, but on the surface, Hao Zhao didn’t show any flaws. He clasped his fists at the kind of Ji and said: "General Zhong is polite.
Got it!"
Hao Zhao's attitude is just right. After all, Xiahou Dun is also a famous general for a long time, and the Xiahou family is not much worse than the Zhong family. The real Xiahou Dun will never be too polite to Zhong Ji. Sure enough,
, seeing Hao Zhao's attitude, the last doubts in Wang Lang and Zhong Ji's minds were dispelled. Zhong Ji stood up and saluted Hao Zhao and said, "I have met General Xiahou!"
Hao Zhao nodded, and then said to Wang Lang: "Your Majesty! Can we take action tonight?" On the surface, Hao Zhao's attitude towards Wang Lang was quite respectful.
Wang Lang smiled and stroked his beard, nodded and said: "I'll tell you the truth, general! After discussing with the general last night, I sneaked into Chang'an City, discussed with General Zhongji and other like-minded people, and decided that in order to prevent long nights and dreams, we will start tonight
Take action! I just don’t know if there is any problem with General Xiahou?”
"It doesn't matter!" Hao Zhao immediately nodded and said: "Since last night, I have let the soldiers rest and recharge their batteries. Now the soldiers are full of energy and can fight at any time!"
"Good! Good! Good!" After shouting three good words in a row, Wang Lang became excited and praised: "General Xiahou is worthy of being a famous general in the world. This method alone is enough to make me admire him! Now that the general is prepared,
, then we can’t wait any longer and ask the general to prepare to set off immediately!”
"Wait a minute!" Hao Zhao naturally would not just follow them in such a muddle. He had not forgotten his mission, which was to find out all the enemies lurking in Chang'an City. Then Hao Zhao said solemnly
Said: "My lord, are we going to set off like this? As far as I know, although Luo Yang has led an army to attack Sun Wu, there are still many soldiers and horses left in Chang'an City. In addition, the city defense of Chang'an City is solid. Guang Mou's
I’m afraid we can’t attack Chang’an City with our troops, right?”
Wang Lang and Zhong Ji were both stunned, and then they looked at each other and smiled. Zhong Ji said to Hao Zhao: "General Xiahou is really cautious! But there is no need for General Xiahou to worry about this. Duke Ming has already prepared it. Don't forget it."
, I now hold the position of captain of the city gate of Chang'an City. Although this position is not big, it is responsible for the entrance and exit of the city gate. As long as everything goes smoothly, I can send the general's army into the city without anyone noticing.
!”
In fact, even if Zhongji didn't explain, Hao Zhao also knew the role of Zhongji's identity. However, what made Hao Zhao even more aware was that the title "Ming Gong" came out of Zhongji's mouth! Obviously, this "Ming Gong"
"Ming Gong" definitely does not refer to Wang Lang next to him. Hao Zhao secretly speculated that the "Ming Gong" mentioned by Zhong Ji was the real mastermind behind the scenes! Hao Zhao wanted to continue questioning, but he was worried that doing so would arouse Wang Lang's
He hesitated for a while because of his suspicion, but finally did not ask. He stood up, clasped his fists at Wang Lang and Zhong Ji and said, "Since the prince and General Zhong have made arrangements, I won't say any more! I will go now."
Military camp, lead troops and horses to garrison Chang'an City!"
After leaving the city guard's mansion, Hao Zhao returned to the military camp under the escort of Wu Shuo. The first thing Hao Zhao did was not to gather troops and horses as he told Wang Lang before, but to rush to the main tent.
Discussed with Zhao Yun and others. After listening to Hao Zhao's account, Zhao Yun and others lowered their heads and thought. Deng Ai said in a deep voice: "It seems that this 'Ming Gong' is the real key! I just don't know who this person is.
, to be able to make someone like Wang Jingxing willing to work for him!"
"Well! To be able to give such a respectful title to a descendant of a family like Zhong Ji shows that this person's status and reputation are definitely not low. I'm afraid there are not many such people in Chang'an City!" Guo Huai calmly analyzed it, talking about his mind.
, among everyone, Guo Huai and Deng Ai are undoubtedly the best, but Guo Huai is older than Deng Ai, and much calmer, so in analysis, he is faster than Deng Ai.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Let's put it aside for now. This kind of collection must be captured! Such a person actually occupies such an important position as the captain of the city gate. This is not a good thing! I don't know if there are other people in Chang'an City.
There are so many people like Zhongji. It seems that the Lord intends to completely eradicate this cancer this time. It is indeed true! Bodao! You should go and gather the soldiers immediately, including Boji! Shizai! Zhongzhi! You all
Act according to the plan, we must solve this problem for our lord this time!" The Zhongzhi that Zhao Yun called was actually Wu Shi's cousin. In addition to Hao Zhao who wanted to pretend to be Xiahou Dun, Guo Huai, Deng Ai and Wu Shi also wanted to
Pretend to be their own characters respectively.
After hearing Zhao Yun's instructions, everyone agreed in unison. As for Zhao Yun, Cao Xing and Hou Cheng, they naturally remained their personal soldiers and commanded secretly. After all, the three of them were so famous in Western Qin, even if they were
There are disguise experts from Jinyiwei who help them put on makeup, but they are easily recognized. After all, this disguise technique is not as magical as the rumors say, it is just some makeup techniques.
These soldiers were carefully trained by Zhao Yun in Youzhou over the past few years, and their combat quality was no worse than that of the Western Qin army. After Hao Zhao and others ordered the summons, these soldiers immediately ran out of the camp, and soon they were
Lining up at the gate of the military camp. When Wu Shuo, who was waiting at the gate of the military camp, saw him, he couldn't help but sigh. After seeing Hao Zhao and others coming out, he couldn't help but flatter Hao Zhao, saying that Cao Wei's generals were indeed well-deserved.
, but it almost made Hao Zhao and others burst into laughter.
Although Wang Lang and others have taken control of Gaoling City, after staying in Chang'an for so many years, Wang Lang is very aware of the methods of the Jin Yiwei. Therefore, when the army entered the city before, they always chose to do so late at night and did not dare to alarm the people in the city. This time they left the city.
, and it was only after the night was quiet that Hao Zhao dared to lead his troops out of the city.
Outside the city, Wang Lang and Zhong Ji were already waiting at the city gate. In addition to the two of them, there were hundreds of soldiers wearing armor. It seemed that they should be soldiers they secretly trained. Zhao Yun in the army saw
The eyes of these soldiers could not help but emit a cold light. Not to mention anything else, just training the army privately was enough to convict Wang Lang and Zhong Ji of death! However, Zhao Yun still resisted and did not take action. Hao Zhaoze pretended to be Xiahou Dun.
Shi Zong immediately took a step forward, clasped his fists at Wang Lang and Zhong Ji and said, "Prince Lao and General Zhong have been waiting for a long time! We can set off at any time!"
Wang Lang glanced at the soldiers behind Hao Zhao with some envy, nodded and praised: "I have long heard that Cao Gong's soldiers are good at fighting, and today I saw the soldiers under General Xiahou. They are indeed brave men! With such a lion in the Han Dynasty, there is hope for ZTE!
"
Hearing what Wang Lang said, Hao Zhao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. How dare he think that Wang Lang was still thinking of swallowing up his own army! Sure enough, Zhao Yun's previous evaluation of Wang Lang was not wrong. Wang Lang, apart from having a false reputation,
, indeed he does not have much talent. He also did not think about it, even if the person in front of him was the real Xiahou Dun, how could he be willing to hand over his army to others? In fact, Cao Cao did not have the same idea as his lord when he welcomed the emperor.
, want to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes!
However, Hao Zhao naturally would not tell this. Instead, he clasped his fists at Wang Lang and said: "A certain soldier has come to serve His Majesty and to be loyal to the Han Dynasty! Your Majesty! Let's set off!" Since he wants to play Xiahou Dun, Hao Zhao
Naturally, I want to speak from Xiahou Dun's perspective. These words are clearly meant to digress the topic, but they are consistent with Xiahou Dun's identity.
After hearing Hao Zhao's words, Wang Lang realized his gaffe, smiled awkwardly, and then said to Hao Zhao: "General Xiahou is right! He is right! So, let's set off immediately!
I believe we should be able to reach Chang'an before dawn!" As he said this, Wang Lang no longer put on airs, but made an invitation gesture to Hao Zhao, indicating that Hao Zhao would command the army.
This time Hao Zhao stopped being polite and turned towards Guo Huai, Deng Ai and Wu Shi behind him and shouted: "Wenze! Zihe! Ziang! Let's go!"
