Chapter 155: The Dragon Returns to Luonan

Covering the mountains and bragging, the road is submerged. ----------Tang Dynasty. Cui Xiang "Saiyuan Xing"

It is said that Jia Xu planned for Li Dao and Guo Yan, gave up the plan to attack Chang'an, retreated to Tongguan to defend it, controlled the Fengling Ferry, maintained the smooth passage with Luoyang, and opened the passage for Taishi to escape north into Bingzhou if necessary.

On Zhao Yun's side, the three masterminds used their brains, plus Xun Yu Xun Gongda, after the Xiliang Iron Cavalry retreated into Tongguan, quickly guessed the enemy's intentions, and also set his sights on the Yellow River between Luoyang and Tongguan. If the communication between Tongguan and Luoyang can be cut off, the enemy will only have two isolated cities left, and he will be able to control the passage of Dong Zhuo's escape to the north.

Huang Gai and Gan Ning asked to participate in the war, and Zhou Budo said: "The garrison of Chang'an is extremely important, not to mention that the lord put Emperor Shaodi of Han here, so he naturally has more far-reaching plans for Chang'an." Therefore, the security and control of Chang'an must not be negligent, and I am afraid that this task can only be fulfilled by public and public affairs. ”

Xun You listened to Zhou Budo's words, and said happily: "Don't doubt that this is to the point, and it coincides with me." The Xiliang Army, which repelled the fourth general Dong Zhuo, has completed its strategic task. Being able to continue to advance with surprise troops and control the waterway of the Yellow River is indeed the icing on the cake, but the so-called trapped beasts are still fighting, and there is a slight suspicion of risky marching. ”

After saying that, he glanced at the main general Zhao Yun, saw that he was listening carefully, and continued: "I mean that Gongfu, Xingba, Xu Yuanzhi and I will all stay to defend the city, and the troops defending the city will leave at least 20,000 people, mainly infantry archers. ”

Zhao Yun and Huang Gai glanced at each other, and Huang Gai said: "Gongda's words are reasonable, and it all depends on Zilong's decision." After all, Zhao Yun was the main general, so he was no longer polite, and got up and said: "All the masterminds, what you say is good. Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Ma Teng and others, although they are all allies now, are unanimous on the issue of opposing Dong, but they are still loyal to Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty, and we can't be unguarded. Therefore, Chang'an's forces must maintain their superiority. ”

"Listen to me! Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Xun You, Xu Shu, and Liu Xian, led 10,000 archers and 15,000 infantry, guarding Chang'an. The rest of the generals will enter the state with my surprise troops. Special forces personnel still protect Guo and Zhou as personal soldiers. Everyone got up and said they accepted Zhao Yun's arrangement.

Seeing that there was a consensus of opinion, Zhao Yun said with a little peace of mind: "Public reply, thank you for your support." Huangfu Song's side, please communicate with him, let him crush Tongguan, whether it is a feint attack or a quick battle, in short, try to contain the troops of Li Dao and other four generals. Huang Gai nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Budo and said, "No, you are the most familiar with geography, tell me how you should march?" Zhou Budo lifted his spirits and said: "Since the lord has passed through Chang'an, the geography north of Chang'an, I have really done my homework. And the state for the Taihang, Wangwushan mountainous area, can go north through Weinan County, take Puyang County to the east into Dali County, cross the river in the Yongji Yellow River sandbank, enter Yongji County, and then choose the road to the north, you can choose Ruicheng County Dayu Ferry, or Pinglu County Maojin Ferry, cut off the Yellow River waterway. Of course, in terms of supply, with Chang'an Gongda behind, there is naturally no need to worry. ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed, and he knew that the lord was so important and did not doubt the reason for this little fat baby. Some details were arranged, and that night, while it was dark, Zhao Yun led 25,000 cavalry and disappeared into the suburbs of northern Chang'an.

Besides, Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway, lured by Chen Long with a jade seal, ordered Zhu Ling to lead 30,000 troops, Liang Gang and Le were deputy generals, Li Feng was the vanguard, and Yuan Yin was the military advisor. At that time, Zhang Liao and Li Meng, the lieutenant general of the Fu army under Dong Zhuo, jointly guarded Luonan, with two large camps on the left and one on the right, which were horns of each other and were the southern gateway of Luoyang.

Yuan Shujun arrived and confronted Zhang Liao's battalion, Zhang Liao wanted to fight, and quickly reported to Li Meng's battalion, intending to flank left and right. Li Meng was originally a confidant of Dong Zhuo, how could he listen to Zhang Liao's command, and only stood still to guard the camp. Zhang Liao had no choice but to fight on his own, and the shallow battle stopped, and he was unwilling to consume troops.

For three consecutive days, Yuan Shu and Zhang Liao won and lost each other, Zhang Liao focused his attention entirely on the actions of Yuan Shu's troops, and Li Meng also sent some troops to block the passage between the two battalions, and the three parties did not dare to move. Zhang Liao successively heard some briefings on the battle situation of Tiger Prison Pass and Chang'an, and gradually became a little worried about the chaotic situation, and even narrowed the front, stubbornly defended the camp, and focused on preventing Yuan Shu's advance from directly threatening Luoyang City.

Three days later, in the evening of the mountain, a mysterious army appeared in the dense forest on the hillside behind Yuan Shujun. The soldiers were infantrymen, dressed in black leather armor, carrying swords on their backs, a crossbow and a pot of crossbow arrows pinned to their waists, and leather boots with their signature serrated daggers stuck in their legs.

The two leaders are also dressed in black, and they are both tall. One of them stared at the lights of Yuan Shu and Zhang Liao's camp from the hillside, took off his masked black scarf, revealed his handsome face, and muttered, "Moke, we have finally arrived." ”

Next to him was Shamoke, the first brave general of Wuxi, and this time Chen Long brought it was Shamoke's Wuxi soldiers, who were included in the Wuxi South Division. Xi Zhicai wanted to guard Lingling and guard against Liu Biao, but he did not follow.

In the dark, Chen Long led the people to quickly disappear into the darkness, marched day and night, and summed up a set of methods for marching at night. Where did Zhang Liao think that there was such a strange soldier as Chen Long, his attention was focused on the movements of Yuan Shu's camp, and naturally he was not aware of Chen Long's troops at all.

By the time it was dawn, Long Chen's troops had bypassed the northeast of Luoyang and entered a hidden valley in the Beibi Mountains, where they were hiding and resting on dry food and salted meat. From here to the tunnel exit of Luoyang, there are only a dozen miles of mountain roads, and Chen Long decided to bring the troops into the tunnel tonight to hide.

Judging from the information sent by Zhao Da, since Lu Bu, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Zhang Liao, Li Meng and other generals all led troops, there were three main forces in Luoyang City, all of which had some combat effectiveness.

The first is the Niu auxiliary army of the Gongwei outside Dong Zhuo's mansion, leading 5,000 soldiers, mainly the Xiliang infantry. The first is the guard army of Sun Rui, a soldier who guarded the palace outside the palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, leading 5,000 soldiers, mainly the former imperial court guards. There was also a group of the remaining 5,000 cavalry defending the city, stationed near Dongshi, led by Li Su, the general who had persuaded Lü Bu to surrender.

Luoyang's troops were only 15,000 left, and for Chen Long's 10,000-strong troops hidden in the shadows, it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched. However, Chen Long has been considering that Shisun Rui's troops are not Dong Zhuo's lineage, and they are members of the anti-Dong alliance, and the disagreement with himself is only which Han emperor to be loyal to. How can we avoid misunderstandings, disintegrate this force, or even use it for our own use, and work together to eliminate Dong Zhuo first?

Chen Long closed his eyes slightly, thinking about the way to persuade Shi Sun Rui. If it appears in the face of Chen Long, since everyone knows that Chen Long supported Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty and Empress Hehe, it is the least likely to succeed in convincing Shi Sun Rui; If he appears as Yan Baihu, he is Dong Zhuo's favorite confidant, and it seems that it is difficult to immediately convince Shi Sunrui of Dong Zhuo's original cronies.

Chen Long was a little difficult, if Shi Sun Rui's strength was unclear and rolled in, he would be invincible in Luoyang City. Even if Dong Zhuo's troops are defeated, if Shi Sun Rui's troops come to take advantage of the fire to rob, their own troops are very likely to be unable to bear it after the battle, and they will be swept out of the house by Shi Sun Rui, bringing variables.

Chen Long's brain was running, his eyes struck, and he gradually fell asleep, and saw a peerless face of a demon queen, beautiful people stopped breathing, and slowly walked into the extremely beautiful scenery, Chen Long couldn't help but follow slowly, calling Diao Chan's name in his heart, Diao Chan suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Long and smiled, it turned out that it was not Diao Chan, but it was Cai Yan, Chen Long was overjoyed, it turned out that Cai Yan was not taken away by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and was about to rush over, suddenly the mountain shook, and a deep chasm was highlighted in the middle, isolating Cai Yan far away on the side of the chasm, Chen Long was in a hurry, Seeing that a Hun cavalry suddenly appeared behind Cai Yan, the shining butcher knife was raised high, and he was about to slash at Cai Yan's neck......

Chen Long woke up from the shock, shortness of breath and wheezing, Lu Chang beside him hurriedly greeted, and Chen Long knew that it was a dream. When his breathing gradually stabilized, Chen Long gradually sobered up, remembering that Cai Yan was still in the Huns, and couldn't help but secretly decide, even after destroying Dong, what if Luoyang was given to Shisun Rui? If his own army eliminated Dong Zhuo, he would immediately go to the Xiongnu to save Cai Yan.

If Cai Yan knew about Chen Long's feelings, I am afraid he would also be moved in his heart. Chen Long thought of Diao Chan again, and couldn't help but move in his heart, didn't Diao Chan's father-in-law, Wang Yun, just look at the grave in the nearby Wenling? He has conspired with Shi Sun Rui to kill Dong, if he can persuade Wang Yun, as long as he has a letter, why worry that Shi Sun Rui will not help?
