The Battle to Defend the Capital
After all the military arrangements were made, Wu Jun called Situ Wang Yun and Zhonglang General Lu Zhi to go with him to his father-in-law Cai Yong's residence to have a chat when he dismissed the deputy Zhonglang General Min Gong and the other seven lieutenants of the West Garden of the Imperial Army.
After Wu Jun, Wang Yun, and Lu Zhi arrived at Cai Yong's residence, it was bustling with joy. Ever since the coup in the palace two months ago and Dong Zhuo's arrival in Luoyang, the Cai residence had never been so festive. Not long after, Wu Jun's uncle, Wu Zilan, also rushed over. Wu Zilan was now a Lieutenant General of the Feather Forest, a lieutenant under Lieutenant General Lu Zhi. Everyone sat together and chatted with each other. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Cai Yan didn't expect her Brother Jun to come to the Cai residence to visit her so soon. She seemed to be more excited and happy than everyone else. At the banquet, she pestered Wu Jun to say this and that. She even played her latest masterpiece for everyone.
Wu Jun looked at Cai Yan, who was extremely happy at this moment, and could not help but think of her tragic fate in history."When I was 16, I married Wei Zhongdao from the east of the river. In 189 A.D., Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang. At first, she was forced by Dong Zhuo's army to move westward to Chang 'an. Then, in the second year of Xingping (195), she was captured by the Southern Xiongnu army. She spent 12 years in the Xiongnu and gave birth to two sons. In the 12th year of Jian 'an (207 years), Cao Cao sent an envoy to the Southern Xiongnu with gold to redeem Cai Yan. After Cai Yan returned to the Central Plains, he remarried to the garrison commander Dong Si.”Because of his appearance, Yan 'er's fate of marrying Wei Zhongdao had been changed. He would do his best to protect Yan' er and not let history repeat itself. Thinking of this, Wu Jun couldn't help but recite loudly with Cai Yan's zither music,"
"The words of children are close, and the grudges are mutual. The scene changed, and the brave man went to the enemy's field. Floating clouds and willow catkins have no roots, and heaven and earth are wide and far away. A flock of birds chirped, and suddenly a lonely phoenix appeared. Climbing up the scale can not go up, lose power and plummet. Alas, I have two ears, and I have not heard of the silk bamboos. When he heard that Liang Shidan was playing, he got up and sat beside him. He pushed his hand to stop him, and his wet clothes were wet with tears. Oh my god, if you can do it, don't put ice and charcoal in my heart.”
When everyone heard Wu Jun sing passionately, they couldn't help but clap their hands and praise him. "Jun 'er hasn't seen you for more than ten years, but you're still full of poetry. Haha!" His father-in-law, Cai Yong, said happily.
"Brother Bo Pai, you don't know, but not only is Jun 'er talented in literature, but today at Zishi's residence, Jun' er's way of mobilizing troops and commanding troops is like the style of famous generals like Wu Qi and Han Xin.”Zhonglang General Lu Zhi admired Wu Jun's way of commanding troops. After Cai Yong heard this, he looked at Situ Wang Yun.
"Brother Bo Pai, Zi Gan is right. Jun 'er's performance in my residence today was outstanding. Even Cao Cao, who had made great contributions during the' Rebellion of the Yellow Turbans,'who is now the West Garden's Commandant of Agriculture, and the others were docile and obedient.”Situ Wangyun added.
"Hehe, as expected of our Wu family's Saint Child. It seems that this world will ultimately belong to the young in the future.”When his uncle Wu Zilan heard about his nephew's outstanding performance, he felt extremely proud.
"Of course. Who is my Brother Jun? He was the former Great Han Dynasty's number one prodigy and the current bandit general and Wei Tinghou, how could he not be outstanding?”After Cai Yan finished playing his zither, he was also very happy when he heard that everyone admired his Brother Jun so much.”
"Thank you, father-in-law and uncles, for your praise! Jun 'er can achieve these trivial achievements today, it is all your credit, Jun' er dare not be careless.”Although Wu Jun was very happy to hear his father-in-law and uncles 'high evaluation of him, he still said humbly.
Wu Jun chatted with his father-in-law and uncles in Cai Mansion until Hai Shi (Hai Shi in ancient times was equivalent to 21:00 to 23:00 Beijing time in later generations) before he left and returned to Marquis Wei Mansion. The next morning, Cai Yan, under the protection of the housekeeper Cai Fu and a few family guards, came to the "Wei Hou Fu" to visit his Brother Jun. Who knew that Wu Jun would leave early in the morning, and only Zhao Yu and Li Su, who were still in the "Marquis Wei Manor", received Cai Yan. Although Cai Yan and Zhao Yu had different personalities, Cai Yan was Wu Jun's fiancée. Zhao Yu was the younger sister of Wu Jun's sworn brother, Zhao Yun. Moreover, Cai Yan could tell that Zhao Yu and Wu Jun had a deep relationship. Our two beauties tacitly called each other sisters. Cai Yan was two months older than Zhao Yu, so she became the elder sister. The two beauties regretted not meeting each other earlier and chatted happily.
After Wu Jun returned from the Cai Residence last night, he had discussed the military plan at the Situ Residence with Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang. He then said to Zhao Yun,"Second brother, I want you to lead our original six hundred cavalrymen and the four hundred cavalrymen of the West Garden Imperial Army that I've just commanded. A total of one thousand men will be hidden behind Thief Dong's back as surprise soldiers and guerrillas. They will constantly disrupt and nibble away at his rear."Finally, you will capture Hangu Pass and completely cut off all communication with the rebel army in the direction of Western Liang. We will trap him in the Si Li Prefecture. Right now, Thief Dong's army is mainly stationed in the northwest of Luoyang. Have the soldiers bring a month's worth of rations and quietly leave from the south gate before dawn tomorrow. Be careful not to let Thief Dong discover you. I didn't mention this plan at the military planning meeting during the day. The south gate is still guarded by our original soldiers, so no one should find out.”Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang were satisfied with Wu Jun's arrangements. The four of them left early in the morning. After Wu Jun led Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to the west gate for a military rotation, he went to the other three gates of Luoyang alone to check on the situation.
