In the sixth year of Zhongping, in early May.

As the northern army continued to enter Luoyang, the forces in Luoyang City became stronger, and the situation began to ease a lot, but the situation around Luoyang became tense.

Between He Jin and the imperial court, there is no other situation, the contradiction has been stimulated to the surface, and a war is on the verge of breaking out......

The western suburbs of Luoyang.

Between the mountains and rivers and the plains, there are ups and downs, staggered and overlapped, and between Luoshui and Gushui, the waterways are covered, and the complex terrain forms a barrier in the west for Luoyang City.

Sunset Pavilion.

Under the light of the remnant sun, a remnant army was encamped.

After He Jin led his troops to escape from Luoyang, he had been camped here for more than half a month, and the grain and grass were almost exhausted, and he had already searched all the things that could be scavenged from the surroundings, within a radius of a hundred miles, except for Luoyang City, there was no food and grass to supply to him.

Under the shortage of food and grass, the morale of the army is naturally turbulent.

As his descendant, the Northern Army was already injured in the first battle of Luoyang, and now the morale of the army is even more demoralized.

"Shuda, hasn't the Xiliang Army arrived yet?" In the barracks, He came in and walked back and forth, his expression became more and more impatient, he could feel the killing intent from Luoyang, if it weren't for the trump card he held the crown prince, I am afraid that Luoyang's army would attack directly.

But even if he has the crown prince in his hand, those who pretend to be loyal to him in Luoyang City will not be allowed to continue to survive, after all, the Son of Heaven has a second son, and without the prince, there will still be a new monarch in the court to succeed him.

And he, the man who killed the king, will never be allowed to live, and only by destroying him can the orthodoxy of the court be revealed, which is a great righteousness and a great righteousness that cannot be disobeyed.

"The vanguard cavalry of the Liangzhou Army, led by General Zhang Ji, is now stationed thirty miles away, but it is only a vanguard of 3,000 cavalry!" He Miao arched his hand and said: "Dong Zhuo's main force has not yet been traced!" ”

"Humph!"

He Jin snorted coldly: "The world is full of righteous people, in the past, a certain power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the world surrendered, but now he is down, does he Dong Zhongying still want to rebel!" ”

"Probably not!"

He Miao shook his head and said in a low voice: "After all, he was promoted by his brother, and the Liangzhou army and the people in Guanzhong have a lot of grievances, and it is difficult to survive both, only the elder brother is relied on, and he Dong Zhuo still understands the situation!" ”

"Hopefully!" He Jin said: "You send someone to urge him to come as soon as possible!" ”

The only person he can trust now is his younger brother, even if he is a doorman strategist, he is quite suspicious, after all, his situation is too bad now, and his head is the capital of many people to become famous, so he has become cautious.

"Yes!"

He Miao nodded, he thought for a while, and said, "Brother, there is one more thing, you should pay attention to it!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"This soldier of the West Garden seems to be a little unstable, and in recent days, there have been many deserters!"

"Unstable?"

When He Jin heard this, his expression was slightly cold, but with a little confidence, he said: "That is a normal thing, even if there are no deserters in my Northern Army, the Son of Heaven is ruthless, and if I am deducted from the name of killing the king, I will be spurned by the people of the world, but so what, the world is not a mere name to be determined, Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde still dare not turn their backs on a certain family, with their ability, they should be stable!" ”

……

The north side of the Sunset Pavilion.

West Park Barracks.

"Brother Benchu, you can't go on like this!" Cao Cao and Yuan Shu knelt on the straw mat in the camp, and Cao Cao's face was a little heavy: "For four or five days in a row, there are more than 100 deserters, and if this continues, I am afraid that you and I will become useless!" ”

"The same goes for my men!"

Yuan Shao smiled a little bitterly: "Jian Shuo has a hand in commanding the army, after the news of the extermination of the Ten Standing Servants in the North came out, the army was already not very stable, and with the name of the general now killing the king, it spread all over the army, and it aroused a lot of anger!" ”

"What are your plans?" Cao Cao asked.

"What can I plan, Yuan Sikong may not be able to tolerate me, Yuan Highway even wants me to die, cast into Luoyang, the best result is just to exile Bohai!" Yuan Shao replied

"But if it goes on like this, we may not have the life to return to Luoyang!" Cao Cao said pointedly.

"Why do you say that?"

Yuan Shao clenched his fists and said.

"If the Liangzhou Army arrives as soon as possible, maybe I still have some confidence, but now, no matter how I look at it, it looks like Dong Zhuo has a different heart!" Cao Cao said calmly: "Even if the Liangzhou army comes, it may not be to help the general!" ”

"He Jin's general trend has gone, I don't know!" Yuan Shao smiled bitterly: "But in today's situation, it is difficult to deal with it!" ”

"Prince!" Cao Cao was silent, but he pointed to the water on the desk and wrote two words.

"Prince?"

Yuan Shao glanced at it and muttered to himself, his voice as thin as a mosquito.

……

……

Southwest of Luoyang, on a hill in the suburbs.

The army of Mushan had bypassed the southern suburbs from the eastern suburbs three days ago, and moved here, which was condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could also view the city of Luoyang, which was a very good geographical location.

Most importantly, this place is only less than twenty miles away from the Sunset Pavilion.

On the hill, the word battle flag is flying in the wind.

"What do you mean by the imperial court?" Mu Jing looked at a letter in his hand, and his voice was a little cold: "They actually ordered me to send troops to the Sunset Pavilion within three days, they are so bold!" ”

The Liangzhou army is about to enter the battlefield, which has already made him a little stressed.

But I didn't expect that the Liangzhou army had not yet come, and the Bingzhou army had already entered the capital, which made Mushan regret it a little.

"Lord, this is a demonstration!"

Jiang Lu said in a deep voice: "The Bingzhou army has entered Beijing, and some people in the capital are at ease, so naturally their attitude towards us has changed, so we have to be strong!" ”

"Humph!"

Mu Shan sneered: "They really think that Ding Jianyang's troops are like Beijing, so they can rest easy!" ”

"At least now, they are not afraid of us attacking Luoyang!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Mu Shan exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Anyway, you also said that when you enter this Luoyang City, you can't fight in after all, let's compete outside the city to see the strength of the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army, who has the big fist, not necessarily!" ”

Although the entry of the state army into the capital gave him a great surprise, it did not affect his strategic deployment, after all, welcoming the prince into Kyoto is the only way he can take now.

"Zhou Cang!"

"In!"

The general, Zhou Cang, stepped in from outside the camp gate.

"We can't wait like this, you lead the cavalry, raid the Sunset Pavilion, leave after a little fight, test the strength of the Sunset Pavilion, don't fall in love, I will let the Pingshan Battalion led by Deng Hong pick you up!"

Before Mu Shan walked up to a desk, he looked at the map on it and said, "Remember, don't cross the Sunset Pavilion to the north, the battle line is too long, there will be danger!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Zhou Cang received the order and left with high spirits.

"Lord, at this time, will we be too impulsive, if we startle the snake, won't the gains outweigh the losses!" Jiang Lu frowned and arched his hand.

"Maybe it's to lure the snake out of the hole!"

Mushan is the main general, can be the main general, since he is not a straw bag, although he relies on the people around him to give advice, but on the battlefield has his own unique thoughts and judgment, he does not necessarily have foresight, but grasp the opportunity to do a good job: "We have been guarding against the Liangzhou army, so we are holding down, but the Liangzhou army has not come out for a long time, but the situation is unfavorable to us, the longer it drags on, the lower the morale, we have to fight, at least try what the Liangzhou army reacts!" ”
