Chapter 334: Luoyang Shock

Praise foolishness is suitable for accumulation, and wisdom is more than faint. -------------Tang Dynasty. Chen Ziang "Thirty-eight Sentimental Poems"

It is said that in the second hundred years of AD, it was originally the battle of the Central Plains overlord of Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoguandu in the official history, but at this moment, because of Chen Long's intervention, it showed another trend. The wars north of the Yellow River are still frequent, and Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Liu Yu, Liu He and his sons, Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou, Wenchou of Jizhou, and Yuan Tan are all strangled into a ball, and they have won and lost each other, and they have been fighting for a long time. Tian Feng and Lu Yi supported their own troops in Cangzhou, and even secretly provided grain and grass to Tianyu in Youzhou, making the war situation even more stalemate. Yuan Shaojun was originally stronger, but because of the ambiguous attitude of the Cangzhou defenders, he completely fell into a bitter battle.

South of the Yellow River, it is a big war. Yanzhou Juancheng and Yanzhou Puyang were quickly occupied by the Montenegrin army, established a strong stronghold along the Yellow River waterway into the Central Plains, and controlled the golden waterway of the Yellow River between Mengjin and Guandu and Guandu to Baimajin. Fortunately, a lot of grain and grass were seized in Puyang, and with the cooperation of Chen Liuzhang Liao, the front line was immediately replenished, and the army's morale was temporarily stabilized.

Xu Huang's army hurriedly entered Taihang Mountain to escape for his life, and the only direction was to temporarily defect to Yuan Shao's Yecheng. The terrain of Taihang Mountain is dangerous, the endless sheep intestine bird road, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the sun and the moon are not known in the mountains, Xu Huangjun kills all the war horses to satisfy hunger, seeing the lack of food, when he is extremely desperate, he suddenly sees a man-made defensive castle in front of the mountain pass. The battle flag was hunting, and it was embroidered with a large Yuan character.

Xu Huang and Manzhong are overjoyed, which is the road to the sky. Man was afraid that the troops would rush to the castle and cause a misunderstanding, so he asked Xu Huang to lead the team to rest on the spot first, and he brought more than a dozen people to the castle gable.

The soldiers guarding the guard saw a few people wearing armor and weapons from a distance, and they became alert, this place guarded the mountains, and the people who usually came in and out were some poor hunters, and they had never seen the army appear from this place.

There was a bang on the wall, and a line of soldiers flashed out, and they opened their strong bows against the battlements, revealing a row of hideous and shining arrows. Man Chong hurriedly threw away his weapon, raised his hand with a smile on his face, and said, "The brothers in the city don't want to release arrows!" I am full of favors and Boning, and I am a good friend of your master Chen Lin! Please make a hard trip to the brothers, and report to Yecheng, and say that Man Bonin is coming to meet! ”

When the head of the soldiers in the city heard this, how could he dare to make the decision and release people, but this soldier leader was a cautious person, and shouted: "Since you are a friend of Master Chen, please be calm and don't be impatient, don't embarrass me." When I immediately send someone back to Yecheng to ask for instructions, at least three days, at most five days, there will be a letter! ”

Man Pet smiled bitterly when he heard this, not to mention three days and five days, his troops had no food and grass for even a meal. So he swallowed his anger and begged: "That soldier leader! Send someone quickly, and don't delay! There are still 20,000 soldiers behind me, all of whom have come to defect to Yuan Gong, and the food and grass have been exhausted along the way, but there is a way to transfer a few days' food? When Master Chen comes, I will ask him to pay you back! ”

The soldier leader couldn't help but roll his eyes and gasp, 20,000 people of grain and grass, his own food and grass here is not enough for them to fill their teeth. Besides, these are obviously Cao Cao's White Tiger Army, friends and enemies are still unknown, how can their own food be used to fund the enemy?

Man Pet didn't hear back for a long time, knowing that he was despised, he took people to set up a small military tent under the city to protect himself from the wind and rain, and prepared to stay here for three or five days. As soon as the military tent was set up, several people's stomachs rumbled at the same time, and several people searched for their pockets, but they didn't even have half a cake scrap, so they had to carry bows and arrows on their backs and go to the mountains to look for prey. Xu Huang received a report, so he had to order to be stationed in the camp and send soldiers to look for food, and the soldiers who were not firm in their minds took the opportunity to flee one after another, and hundreds of people would disperse every day.

Not to mention that Xu Huang and Man Chong led the defeated soldiers to starve in the mountains, Zhang Yan had already crossed the white horse and successfully arrived at Puyang City. Chen Long left 50,000 soldiers, let him defend tightly, and make good use of Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yan took over the defense of Puyang one by one, and Guan Yu also entered the city to meet the new commander. Seeing that Guan Yu's expression was as usual, Chen Long did not look down on Zhang Yan's performance, temporarily put aside half of his thoughts, and as soon as the warship abandoned by Xu Huang arrived, he immediately set off with the main force of the 50,000 Black Mountain Army and 10,000 trapped camps.

The army crossed the Yellow River, according to the predetermined route, and went straight to Dong'e County to echo Taishi Ci from afar, Wu Anguo and Zhang Niujiao also brought 50,000 people from Juancheng, and the three-way army went straight to Dong'e County, with a total strength of an astonishing 150,000 people.

Just when Chen Long made up his mind to fight a regular offensive and defensive battle with Cao Ren and Xun Yu, suddenly the news came that Cao Cao attacked in Qingzhou on three roads, day and night, and finally broke the Beihai, Kong Rong could not wait for Tao Qian's rescue troops in Xuzhou, and he was also captured, so he had no choice but to lead the people to surrender. Cao Cao always respected Kong Rong's reputation and appointed him as Dahonglu, and Cao's army quickly occupied most of Qingzhou, including Changyi and Donglai, and reorganized more than 100,000 troops, known as the new Qingzhou soldiers.

The rapid pacification of Qingzhou brought great confidence to Xun Yu, Cao Ren and the Black Tiger Army guarding Rencheng. Lu Bu and Le Jin and Li Dian who defended the city were very close, and Lu Bu couldn't break the city that was defended to the death, so he had to besiege the city and look for fighters. Chen Long, Zhou Budo, and Guo Jia were reassessing the battle situation, and suddenly there was another news that made the world vibrate.

In the early summer of 200 AD, Yuan Shu had been in Luoyang for almost ten years, holding the jade seal in his hand all day long, and finally couldn't resist the temptation to become the emperor, and couldn't suppress the ambition to be the emperor.

In the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes of all walks of life originally tacitly abided by an iron-clad unspoken rule: never to be the emperor publicly. Even Cao Cao, who "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes" in the official history, did not dare to move the idea of becoming an emperor.

But Yuan Shu's ambition is inflated, that is, he doesn't believe in evil, and he has to be the emperor to have a good time. In fact, Yuan Shu's strength is also obvious, not only controlling Luoyang and Jinggi, but also controlling a large area of the six counties of Yuzhou and Yangzhou such as Runan and Shouchun, and even Sun Jian, Sun Ce's father and son were once just his subordinates.

Yuan Shu has always believed that the surname Yuan comes from Chen, and Chen is after Emperor Shun. The person surnamed Yuan became the emperor, which was the destiny of heaven, not to mention that the jade seal was in his hands. He also asked Zhang Qiang, a native of Hanoi, to calculate a hexagram, and Zhang Gang understood and said that he had the destiny to be the emperor. Yuan Shu's head was hot, and he immediately ascended the throne of God in Luoyang, and wanted to make the world surrender in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Luoyang was shocked, as the so-called one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news that the fool Yuan Shu was called the emperor spread, and the princes from all walks of life were not calm in their hearts. Just as Chen Long's army crossed Dong'e County, Xun Yu Xun Wenruo's letter had already flown to Chen Long's desk with the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor.
