Chapter 68: Sun Cao sent troops to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao
After Li Ru of Luoyang transferred all the generals from all walks of life back to Luoyang City, Li Ru immediately announced Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital to Liu Xie, the son of heaven, at the court meeting.
After Liu Xie and the ministers heard Li Ru's proposal, everyone did not dare to refute it, because Wang Yun, who had led the escape before, had already been imprisoned by Dong Zhuo.
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Li Ru smiled slightly and left the court.
Seeing Li Ru so arrogant, the ministers dared not speak out, because they lost the person who took the lead in the resistance, and the rest of the people were some wall grass.
After announcing the relocation of the capital to Liu Xiehe and his ministers, Li Ru immediately summoned the generals of Xiliang and asked them to gather the wealth of Luoyang.
With the dispatch of the Xiliang army, the people of Luoyang City once again suffered an unwarranted disaster.
After being robbed of the food and money that the Xiliang Army relied on for survival, the people of Luoyang City finally couldn't help but start to resist, but the people's resistance was destined to be a useless effort, after all, the Xiliang Army was all some old ** who killed people without blinking.
After a few days of darkness in Luoyang City, Li Ru immediately escorted the Son of Heaven and his courtiers towards Chang'an City.
After Liu Xie, who had left Chang'an City, glanced back at Luoyang City, his heart was really sad, because when the people were oppressed by the Xiliang Army, he, the son of heaven, could only watch helplessly.
Just when Li Ru began to migrate with the Son of Heaven, the princes of the Dong Alliance received letters of help from Gai Xun.
When they learned that Dong Zhuo's troops were besieging Chang'an, most of the princes ignored Gai Xun's request for help, because this part of the people wanted to take the opportunity to expand the land.
The only princes who sent troops to help were Cao Cao of Chenliu County and Sun Jian of Nanyang County.
Let's talk about Sun Jian's side first.
Since receiving Gai Xun's letter of request for help, Sun Jian immediately led 10,000 elites to rush north towards Luoyang.
Because the Yique Pass on the south side of Luoyang was no longer guarded, Sun Jian only took more than ten days to come to Luoyang City.
If you want to say why Sun Jian didn't go to Chang'an, it is because Sun Jian planned to besiege Wei and save Zhao, because if Sun Jian ran to Chang'an for a long time, the grain and grass would be unsustainable.
When Sun Jian led his troops to Luoyang City, what he saw was already a quiet city, because after Li Ru ordered the people of Luoyang to be plundered, the people of Luoyang either died on the spot or had already moved out of Luoyang.
Seeing that Luoyang City was quietly open, Sun Jian immediately entered the city with all the soldiers.
After entering the city, I saw that the city was full of dead bodies.
After seeing the tragic situation in the city, Sun Jian began to say to himself: "What happened in Luoyang City? How could it be so miserable. ”
"My lord, if we want to search around, maybe there will be a living mouth."
After hearing Cheng Pu's proposal, Sun Jian immediately agreed.
Immediately after, Sun Jian said to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang: "Demou, Gongfu, and Yigong, the three of you will clean up the battlefield in the north, west, and east directions, and if there is a live mouth, you will stay and escort to me, and I will ask what happened in Luoyang." ”
After Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang made a promise, they each went to clean up the battlefield with 2,000 people, while Sun Jian led the remaining troops to start cleaning up on the south side.
After a day of cleaning, although Luoyang City was not cleaned up, Cheng Pu found a thin old man on the north side.
After Cheng Pu met the thin old man, he immediately asked the old man: "This old man, have you been living in Luoyang City?" ”
The thin old man didn't answer when he heard this, because he thought that Cheng Pu and they were also with the Xiliang Army.
Seeing that the thin old man was a little afraid, Cheng Pu hurriedly continued: "Don't be afraid, uncle, we are the subordinates of Wucheng Hou Sun Jian, I want to ask you what happened in Luoyang City?" ”
Hearing this, the old man slowly stopped being afraid, and then said, "This general, my daughter died a miserable death! As he spoke, the old man burst into tears of pain.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Pu hurriedly comforted him, and then asked, "Don't worry, uncle, you speak slowly!" ”
"General, those Xiliang thieves have looted Luoyang City for a few days, and my daughter was mutilated by those Xiliang thieves."
After Cheng Pu heard a useful news, he asked again: "Uncle, how could this Xiliang thief loot Luoyang City for no reason?" Isn't Luoyang City their foothold? ”
"General, this is all because the Son of Heaven wants to move the capital, and the Xiliang thief has no scruples."
Hearing this, Cheng Pu's heart was very shocked.
After thanking the old man, Cheng Pu immediately rushed back to Sun Jian's side.
Seeing Cheng Pu's arrival, Sun Jian asked suspiciously: "Demou, have you finished cleaning the battlefield?" ”
"My lord, the last general is not finished yet, but the last general has received important news."
"What?"
"Lord, the Xiliang army is carrying the Son of Heaven towards Chang'an."
"What? What's going on? ”
Cheng Pu immediately relayed the news that the old man had heard to Sun Jian.
After hearing this, Sun Jian immediately said: "When the Son of Heaven enters Chang'an, the Han Dynasty will die!" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Pu asked suspiciously, "Why did the lord say this?" ”
"Demou, Chang'an borders Liangzhou according to Guanzhong, Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's starting place, he is based in Guanzhong, there is a steady stream of cavalry for his use, and the allies will have no chance to save the Son of Heaven."
"Lord, what should we do next?"
"Let's collect our troops and return after we finish cleaning Luoyang City."
Hearing Sun Jian's discouragement, Cheng Pu immediately took the order to leave.
After seeing Cheng Pu leave, Sun Jian looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
On the second day of Sun Jian's cleaning of Luoyang City, Cao Cao's 8,000 elites also came to Luoyang City, because Cao Cao also came with the intention of encircling Wei to save Zhao.
When Cao Cao came to the outside of Luoyang City, he also saw the opening of the gate of Luoyang City.
Immediately after, Cao Cao immediately sent Cao Ren into the city to check.
After Cao Ren and Huang Gai met in the city, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Isn't this General Huang Gai Huang Gongfu?" ”
After seeing Cao Ren, Huang Gai was also taken aback.
Immediately after, Huang Gai replied: "It turned out to be General Cao Ren!" ”
After the two recognized each other, Cao Ren immediately asked, "General Huang, why are you here?" ”
"General Cao, after receiving a letter of help from Jingzhao Yin Gaixun, my lord and I rushed all the way to Luoyang City."
"I see, then I don't know what happened in Luoyang City? Why is Luoyang City so bleak? ”
"I don't know about that."
"Thank you General Huang for telling me, I'll go back and tell the lord."
"Is Lord Cao here too? Why don't I invite him to the south gate to talk to my lord. ”
"Okay, I see."
After bidding farewell to Huang Gai, Cao Ren immediately returned to Cao Cao's side and told Cao Cao about the events in the city.
Knowing that Sun Jian was also in Luoyang City, Cao Cao immediately led his subordinates towards the south gate of Luoyang City.
At the same time, Huang Gai was also the first to rush to the south gate to inform Sun Jian of the news of Cao Cao's arrival.
Not long after Huang Gai finished speaking, Sun Jian and Huang Gai also heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city.
