Chapter 52: Finding the Secret Passage and Sending the War Book
After returning to his military camp, Wang Kai immediately summoned Qin Qiong and asked him to lead his troops to find the entrance to the secret passage.
After Qin Qiong took the order, Wang Kai found Luo Cheng and asked him to take over Qin Qiong in charge of the army.
At the same time, Cao Cao, who was in the account of the commander of the alliance, told Yuan Shao to send troops to cover Wang Kai's department.
Yuan Shao quickly agreed after hearing this.
Since then, the princes began to send troops to cover their true purpose, and even Gai Xun on Wang Kai's side assisted Luo Cheng in sending troops to attack Luoyang City.
After several days, Qin Qiong and a thousand soldiers finally found the secret passage in a mountain wall after careful searching.
Immediately, Qin Qiong immediately ordered his soldiers to guard the secret pass, and he quickly returned to the barracks to report to Wang Kai.
Knowing that Qin Qiong had found the secret passage, Wang Kai immediately rushed to the alliance leader's tent to return to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao learned that the secret passage had been found, and he immediately summoned all the princes.
As the princes gathered, Yuan Shao immediately told the secret passage what he had found.
After hearing this, Yuan Yi took the lead in answering: "Alliance leader, since the secret passage has been found, then we can make a surprise attack to break through Luoyang City." ”
"What Brother Boye said is extremely true!"
At this time, Cao Cao suddenly interjected: "Alliance leader, since this secret passage has been found, then we should quickly send troops to enter Luoyang City from the secret passage." ”
When Wang Kai heard this, he hurriedly continued: "General Cao, don't worry, I also want to remind you that this secret passage can only accommodate two people at most, and in a short period of time, it is difficult for the army to assemble in the palace in Luoyang City." ”
"What, if that's the case, then isn't this secret passage like chicken ribs, I don't believe that Dong Thief is not heavily guarded in the palace, once the news leaks, the soldiers in the secret passage must be nine deaths."
Hearing Yuan Shu say this, the princes suddenly became a little afraid, because everyone didn't want to risk their lives to rescue the Son of Heaven.
Seeing that the princes had no responsibility at all, Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, stood up and said, "It seems that all of you are very careful about your lives, so this errand will be taken over by me, Sun Jian." ”
Seeing that Sun Jian volunteered, Yuan Shao immediately said: "General Wentai is so courageous! Then the matter of marching from the secret passage was left to General Wentai. ”
At this time, Cao Cao proposed again: "Alliance leader, I don't think it is advisable to simply march through the secret passage, we might as well do both. ”
"What's a two-pronged approach?"
"Isn't this Dong thief pretentious? We can send a war letter to invite Dong Thief to go out of the city to fight, I believe that Dong Thief, who has the help of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, will definitely come out of the appointment, once Dong Thief leads his troops out of the city, General Sun Wentai will be able to rescue the Son of Heaven freely. ”
"This is a wonderful plan, according to Mende's words!"
Seeing that Yuan Shao made a decision, the princes suddenly regretted that they did not take the errand of marching from the secret passage, after all, after the army attracted the attention of Dong Thief, those who marched from the secret passage could easily win the rescue work.
Although the princes regretted it, the decision had been made, and it was not good for everyone to snatch credit from Sun Jian with a dead face.
Subsequently, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Sun Jian to march from the secret passage, and he wrote a war book and shot into Luoyang City.
Guo Yan, who was defending the city on the east side, saw a letter from the allies, and he immediately took down the letter and sent it to Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo read the letter sent by Guo Yan, he pondered for a while, and then ordered someone to find Li Ru.
When Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo, he immediately asked, "Lord, why did you summon me here?" ”
"Wen You, there is a letter sent by Yuan Shaoxiao'er, take a look!"
When Li Ru heard this, he hurriedly took the letter from Dong Zhuo's hand and watched it.
After Li Ru finished reading it, he immediately said: "Lord, there must be a demon when things go wrong, the allies have been attacking Luoyang City for more than a month, they don't send a war book early or late, but invite the lord to go out of the city for a decisive battle when there is a loss, I don't believe that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others don't know the strength of our Xiliang Iron Cavalry, since they dare to issue a war letter, they must have something to rely on." ”
"Wen You, do you mean that we don't accept the war book?"
"Definitely! Since the allies took the initiative to send a war letter, if we should not fight, then we should not let the Kwantung princes look down on it, the minister means that 80,000 troops will be sent to meet the battle, leaving 20,000 soldiers to guard the palace and take care of the ministers of the court, so that even if the allies have a back-up move, we can deal with it calmly, after all, the Kwantung princes do not know how much our troops have. ”
"Okay, according to Wenyou's words, I will order Li Dao and Guo Yan to guard the palace."
After arranging the garrison of the palace, Dong Zhuo ordered someone to reply to the allies saying that he had accepted the war letter.
Yuan Shao learned that Dong Zhuo had accepted the war letter, and he immediately asked all the princes to reorganize their armies for battle, and even Wang Kai and Yuan Shu divided their troops and came to the east side of Luoyang City.
With the continuous deployment of troops and horses by the allies, Dong Zhuo in the city also gathered his troops to prepare for the battle out of the city step by step.
Ten days later, after Dong Zhuo's dispatch was completed, he immediately led his troops out of Luoyang City and came to the opposite side of the allied army to line up.
At the same time, the coalition of princes was also in place under the command of Yuan Shao.
Then, the princes rushed to Yuan Shao's side and gathered.
As the two armies finished arraying, Yuan Shao immediately shouted at Dong Zhuo: "Dong thief, you kill my Yuan clan, I, Yuan Shao, will take your dog's head here today to pay tribute to my Yuan ancestor." ”
"Hahaha! Yuan Shao'er, if I hadn't let you go back at the beginning, how would you have the opportunity to come and attack me? I opened the net to you and named you the Bohai Taishou, but I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person, I regret that I shouldn't have let you go in the first place, although the Yuan clan was ordered to get rid of it, but you Yuan Shao is also an accomplice, if you know the current affairs, the Yuan clan will not be wiped out. ”
"Dong thief, you will only be brave with your tongue, my allies are full of talents, and taking your dog's life is like picking up something."
"Yuan Shao'er, isn't it ridiculous and generous for you to say this."
"Where is my son, you go and destroy the prestige of the allies."
When Lu Bu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "The child must call the allied generals to come and go!" After saying that, Lu Bu rode out on a red rabbit horse.
Seeing Lu Bu come out, the allied princes were not much surprised except for Wang Kai, Gai Xun and Yuan Shu, and the rest of the princes were all apprehensive, because Lu Bu's bravery was indeed a little difficult to resist.
To say why Yuan Shu didn't care was because Yuan Shu hadn't seen Lu Bu's bravery, as for why Wang Kai and Gai Xun didn't care because Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong under Wang Kai had worked together to defeat the invincible Lu Bu.
Lu Bu immediately shouted after the horse came out: "Jiuyuan Lu Bu is here!" Who dares to fight me? ”
Hearing this, Luo Cheng, who was beside Wang Kai, suddenly became eager to try.
Seeing Luo Cheng's eagerness to try, Wang Kai immediately signaled Luo Cheng with his eyes not to be in the limelight.
After Luo Cheng saw Wang Kai's gaze, he had to forcibly suppress his belligerent emotions.
Besides, when Yuan Shao saw that none of the princes responded to the battle, his face suddenly turned red, because he had just boasted that Haikou was full of talents, but as soon as Lu Bu came out, no one dared to fight, which made him very ashamed.
