Li Xuan, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou gathered more than 100,000 people in Liangzhou, each of whom led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were divided into four routes to kill Chang'an.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the Kwantung Army, Dong Zhuo stationed three lieutenant generals Dong Yue, Niu Fu and Duan Xuan in Huayin, Shaanxian and Anyi east of Chang'an, each leading tens of thousands of Western Liang troops. In addition, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen each led 10,000 troops to garrison the right Fufeng and the left Fengyi in the three auxiliary places, while Dong Zhuo personally led the army to garrison Jingzhaoyi, that is, Chang'an and the nearby county seats. When Dong Zhuo came from Xiliang, he led 200,000 soldiers and horses, of which 150,000 were led by Dong Yue, Niu Fu, and Duan Xuan to defend the Kwantung princes, while Xu Rong and Hu Zhen led 20,000 each, and Dong Zhuo only had 10,000 men and horses in Chang'an. This is also the reason why Wang Yun dared to kill Dong Zhuo in the first place, mainly because Dong Zhuo did not have many people in Chang'an.

When the news of Dong Zhuo's death came out, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen and Duan Xuan surrendered to the imperial court, and the troops under their command were still in their hands. As for Dong Yue and Niu Fu, they can't surrender if they want to, Dong Yue is Dong Zhuo's brother, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and both of them are on the list of killings.

Therefore, after learning that Dong Zhuo had died, Dong Yue, who was stationed in Anyi, led his men and horses to Shaanxi County to discuss countermeasures with Niu Fu. And Niu Fu was suspicious, guessing that Dong Yue wanted to surrender to the court with his head. So, after Dong Yue arrived, he set up a banquet, ordered the knife and axe man to kill Dong Yue during the banquet, and then took all the 50,000 Xiliang soldiers under Dong Yue's command under his command. Under the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu led an army of 100,000 to Chang'an.

On the Liangzhou side, Li Xuan and Guo Yan led an army of 100,000 to Chang'an, and Shaanxi County to the east of Chang'an had 100,000 Xiliang troops under the original command of Dong Zhuo, which attacked under the leadership of Niu Fu. The situation in Chang'an is really urgent.

However, Wang Yun, who was in Chang'an, was not panicked and gave orders in an orderly manner.

Although the four people of Li Xuan and Guo Yan in the direction of Liangzhou gathered 100,000 people, they were just young people gathered in a hurry, and their combat power can be seen. Therefore, Wang Yun let Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, who surrendered, lead 40,000 Yuan Xiliang troops to meet Li Xuan and Guo Yan.

Speaking of this, Xu Rong can be described as a brilliant record.

When Sun Jian attacked Luoyang, he repelled Sun Jian, and secondly, when Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, he also defeated Cao Cao. However, the brick family and the beast of later generations have also studied, at that time, Sun Jian and Cao Cao's soldiers were farmers who had not been recruited for a long time, and the troops were small, Xu Rong led the elite of Xiliang, and the veterans of a hundred battles who had fought against Qiang and Hu for many years, and the defeat of Cao Cao and Sun Jian was understandable.

However, the battle record is there, and now there are only two or three people in Chang'an City who have the ability to command the army, and Xu Rong, who once repelled Sun Jian and Cao Cao, was naturally sent to meet the rabble of Li Jian and Guo Yan.

As for Lu Bu, he led the 40,000 forbidden troops of Chang'an to Tongguan to meet Niu Fu.

Duan Xuantun, who surrendered to the imperial court, was stationed in Huayin, and when Niu Fu marched, Wang Yun had already sent 800 miles of fast horses to Huayin to order Duan Xuan to move troops to Tongguan to defend, and only waited for Lu Bu's army to arrive, so he sent troops to repel Niu Fu.

Speaking of this Niu Fu is also interesting, because he is suspicious, he is afraid that he will be ambushed on the road, and when he is marching, he spreads spies widely, and only after the spies find out that there is no ambush, he is willing to advance. So much so that he walked for many days before he arrived in Lu County. At this time, Lu Bu's army had already reached Tongguan. After knowing Niu Fu's movements from the spy, Lu Bu led 40,000 forbidden troops, and asked for 20,000 Xiliang troops from Duan Xuan, and rushed directly to Hongnong County to set up camp and wait for Niu Fu.

"Wen Hou, Niu Fu is not timid, and the last general is willing to lead the forward, and cut off Niu Fu's head to Wen Hou. ”

It was Li Su who asked for the battle, and Li Su and Lu Bu were both from Wuyuan County and had known each other for a long time. Therefore, he volunteered to be a lobbyist and let Lu Bu take refuge in Dong Zhuo. However, Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu was also reused by Dong Zhuo. However, Li Su, who thought he had made great contributions, was not rewarded by Dong Zhuo, and Li Su had resentment in his heart. Therefore, when Wang Yun and Lu Bu asked him to kill Dong Zhuo, Li Su did not hesitate at all. Later, after killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun also did not reuse Li Su. Therefore, Li Su planned to take this opportunity to win a beautiful battle, but he didn't believe that Wang Yun would not give him a promotion.

Moreover, Li Su always thought in his heart that his strength was not worse than Lu Bu, but he didn't have a chance to show it. Through this battle with Niu Fu, he also wants to let the world know his strength.

When Lu Bu heard that Li Su was willing to ask for battle, he didn't say a word, and directly ordered: "Li Su listens to the order, I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses today, don't take down the head of Niu Fu, otherwise, come to see you." ”

"The last general will not fail in his mission!"

Li Su confidently took the order, ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately set off for Lu County.

"Humph!"

Lu Bu squinted at Li Su's departing figure, and snorted softly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Li Su relied on his bravery, and did not send spies along the way, but killed all the way to Niu Fu's army. Niu Fu is suspicious, and he has no military talent, plus he is unlucky, Jia Xu, who was originally subordinate to him, is by Li Xu and Guo Yan's side, so there is no strategist to advise him. Therefore, there was no ambush on Li Su's marching road. Otherwise, why would Li Su be so rampant.

When the spies came to report that Li Su was only ten miles away from his army, Niu Fu knew that Li Su was so close to him. In a hurry, Niu Fu personally led 20,000 cavalry to meet the enemy, and ordered the remaining 80,000 troops to follow. I have to say that in addition to being suspicious, Niu Fu also has a cowardly character, and as the commander of an army, he is obviously not suitable.

Li Su led 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet Niu Fu, which can be said to be very red when the enemy saw each other.

Li Su had a part in killing Dong Zhuo, and Niu Fu treated Li Su as an enemy, but he said it in the past. However, why does Li Su also regard Niu Fu as an enemy?

It turned out that Li Su had followed Dong Zhuo for a long time. When Dong Zhuo was still in Liangzhou, Li Su was already Dong Zhuo's general, there was no big credit, and there were a lot of small credits, so it stands to reason that his position should be quite high. Later, when Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, he appointed Zhonglang General, and Dong Zhuo originally planned to appoint Li Su. However, Niu Fu's wife, that is, Dong Zhuo's daughter, begged for a while, and appointed Niu Fu as the Zhonglang general. Niu Fu's ability is known to Dong Zhuo's old department, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's daughter's begging, Niu Fu's turn would not have been. Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, he is still very good to his own people, and he can know from Dong Zhuo's relatives in his clan who are knighted and marquised.

Therefore, in Li Su's heart, Niu Fu's Zhonglang will be snatched from him. Therefore, Li Su regarded Niu Fu as an enemy, but he also said it in the past.

"Niu Fu, as an official of the imperial court, you are rebelling, today the soldiers are coming, if you don't surrender, when will you wait! When the army of Wenhou is killed, your 100,000 horses will be turned into powder. If you dismount and be bound at this time, you can save the lives of your clansmen!"

Li Su's long knife pointed at Niu Fu and shouted and scolded.

"Phew!"

Niu Fu spat disdainfully, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Betrayer, how dare you be so rampant." My father-in-law treated you well, and thou hast betrayed him, and today I will behead thy head and pay my respects at my father-in-law's grave. ”

"Dong Zhuo is tyrannical and has no way to reward and punish, but he is to blame. Since you are unrepentant, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Li Su's previous words about Niu Fu's surrender were just deceiving Niu Fu, if Niu Fu was really his avatar, Li Su would definitely not let him go easily. After all, there are 100,000 horses under Niu Fu's command, and if he can win it without blood, the credit will be even greater. However, looking at Niu Fu's appearance, it seemed that he did not intend to surrender, and Li Su did not talk nonsense, and directly waved his knife and ordered to charge.

After the order was given, Li Su took the lead, brandishing a big knife and rushing straight into the Niu Fu army.

"Traitor, take your life!"

"Betrayal, eat me!"

Li Su and Niu Fu both used long knives as weapons, and this time both of them had anger in their hearts, and they killed in the dark. However, judging from the strength of Li Su and Niu Fu's battle, Li Su obviously feels good about himself, and he actually feels that he can compare to Lu Bu, he is really ignorant and fearless!

The two of them spun their horses in place, and the two of them swung their knives horseback, fighting for dozens of rounds, all of them sweating.

By the end of the 30th round, both Li Su and Niu Fu felt weak. Li Su wanted to make a name for himself in this battle, so he still attacked with his life, vowing to kill Niu Fu. And Niu Fu was suspicious and cowardly, and learned from Li Su that Lu Bu was behind, and he was afraid that Lu Bu would kill him, so he had already retreated in his heart. Besides, Niu Fu felt that as a commander, he had an army of 100,000, and there was no need to fight hard with Li Su here.

Therefore, after finding a gap, he opened the long knife that Li Su had chopped, and turned his horse back to escape.

Li Su only brought 5,000 men and horses this time, Niu Fu brought 20,000 horses, and the men and horses on both sides were the original Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, and the combat strength was the same. Therefore, Li Su thought of desperately taking Niu Fu so that he could win this battle. But he didn't expect that Niu Fu would run away directly.

Therefore, Li Su rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Niu Fu died in battle, and you will be captured before you can tie your hands!"

Li Su's subordinates also shouted with Li Su, and suddenly the entire battlefield was the sound of Niu Fu dying in battle, dismounting and surrendering. Niu Fu's 20,000 horses didn't know the specific situation at all, and they immediately panicked.

Niu Fu also knew that something was wrong after hearing Li Su's shout, but when he looked at the battlefield, his own soldiers were a little dazed and at a loss because of the sudden shouting, and they were slaughtered by Li Su's soldiers without resistance. Seeing this, Niu Fu knew that the situation was unfavorable to him, and if he continued to stay, he might be beheaded by Li Su. So Niu Fu also simply continued to escape. As a result, there were still soldiers who were suspicious, and because of Niu Fu's behavior, they all believed Li Su's shouts and turned around and fled, and a few people dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and accepted surrender.

"Hmph, incompetent, simply incompetent, even trying to fight me. ”

Li Su looked at Niu Fu who fled in the wilderness, and disdainful in his heart. At that moment, the defeated troops were collected, camped, and waited for the arrival of Lu Bu's army, and then went to attack Niufu.
