Chapter 121: Bad News Spreads Frequently

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. --------Chinese. Liu Xiang "Shuo Yuan. Conspiracy》

It is said that according to Guo Jiading's plan, Chen Long's army has sent the Sword Pavilion, and if Dong Zhuo's army does not move in Shangluo Mountain, it will inevitably be ambushed by the first army of the Qinglong Army. Chen Long's disguised salt ship arrived in Jiangzhou to rest, but he waited in Jiangzhou for the news of the Han court's earthquake. It was confirmed from Su Man's mouth that Dong Zhuojun had given up the ambush plan, and marched straight to Luoyang at dawn.

Guo Jia was the first to wake up from the shock, got up and said: "Luoyang and Chang'an are each other's lips and teeth, and Chang'an is the gateway to block the Xiliang soldiers and horses from entering the Central Plains. Now the door of Chang'an is open, Dong Zhuojun has been stationed in Shangluo Mountain for a long time, and there is no obstacle at all to Luoyang, and our army is no longer able to stop it. For the sake of today's plan, only by taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's unstable foothold after arriving in Luoyang and quickly occupying Chang'an, he may be able to gain the power to negotiate with Dong Zhuo. ”

The meaning of weight is equivalent to modern weights. Getting Chang'an is indeed the only way to take Dong Zhuoda by surprise and block Dong Zhuoda's rear. Once Dong Zhuo made waves in Luoyang, Chang'an, as the closest big city to Luoyang, and on the throat of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang military horses, Dong Zhuo would never dare to ignore Chen Long's threat. If Chen Long wanted to protect Empress He and other royal families, he would influence Dong Zhuo's decision, and he would have the conditions to negotiate with Dong Zhuo.

Zhou Budo said: "The question is what about the agreement we reached with Liu Yan?" ”

Chen Long pondered: "The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it." It is imperative to complete the agreement with Liu Yan, but I am afraid that I will lose troops. We left 20,000 people to help Liu Yan take Hanzhong, and the other 10,000 people quickly broke through Yangping Pass, and went straight to Chang'an to grab the city after leaving the pass. This is not a breach of contract here in Liu Yan. ”

"However, the march of the Sword Pavilion, the weight of grain and grass, weapons and horses, may be restrained by Liu Yan and delayed for time. When Dong Zhuo gains a firm foothold in Luoyang, I am afraid that he will soon send troops to Chang'an, and then Chang'an and Luoyang will be in vain. ”

"Therefore, Huang Gai's 10,000 troops have been assembled in Hengyang, and they must immediately move from virtual to real and really march to Chang'an along the fastest route. Huang Gai's troops must rush Chang'an as quickly as possible, anyway, there is no Dong Zhuo's ambush on the road, and there is still an edict from the imperial court in his hand, so within a month, Huang Gai's army should be able to take Chang'an. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. In this way, the two-pronged approach, the public went to grab Chang'an first, and the first army of the Sword Pavilion was divided into 10,000 people and quickly broke through Yangping Pass and rushed to Chang'an, so that there were 20,000 people defending Chang'an Jiancheng, which should be able to resist Dong Zhuo's counterattack. ”

Zhou Budo said: "Exactly." When Liu Yan and Hanzhong have the advantage in the war, the remaining soldiers of the First Army can leave the battlefield and quickly march to Chang'an, or become reinforcements in Chang'an. In this way, Chang'an's troops can reach 40,000, plus the fortified city, if the troops of Huangfu Song and Sun Jian are united, Dong Zhuo may have to sit down obediently to negotiate. ”

Seeing that the two strategists had the same methods, Chen Long sighed and said, "Chang'an can be determined, so what should Luoyang do?" Everyone in the audience fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Long had no choice but to continue: "Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others ordered in the name of the great general He Jin that the strong people from all over the country could lead troops to Luoyang, with the intention of forcing Empress He to agree to attack the eunuchs. Dong Zhuo can lead troops to Luoyang, so can I Lingling also lead troops to Luoyang? What if Huang Gai didn't go to Chang'an, but went straight to Luoyang? Chang'an was left to the troops of the Sword Pavilion to rob. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads and think about the benefits. In Chen Long's heart, he couldn't wait to equip every general with a mobile phone or telegram, because it was difficult to get through information in ancient times, which really affected the strategic layout. It takes time for secret agents to come and go, but the changes in the Luoyang court are changing, and when they get the news, they are dozens of days behind, and they often catch themselves off guard. If you can successfully take Chang'an this time, you must make a long-term plan and never leave again. The Central Plains must have its own place in order to be well-informed, and whoever wants to grab Chang'an will do it. But seems a bit of a rush?

Chang'an's position is extremely important, and if he does not occupy it, he will inevitably be taken care of by the princes, including Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo succeeds in taking power and Liu Xie ascends to the throne, then the warlords of the world may be instigated by Dong Zhuo, and the target of the joint crusade of all the princes may change from Dong Zhuo to himself.

How did all the strategists know that the lord was bothering so much, and when they saw that the lord's face was flickering, they didn't dare to disturb. However, it was relatively clear to the senior generals that the military meeting held on this salt boat in Jiangcheng at this time would inevitably make the most important strategic adjustment of the Qinglong Army.

Chen Long thought about it for a long time, and he had already made up his mind, so he broke the silence and said in a consultative tone: "Luoyang gathering, how can there be no Lingling matter. In a reasonable situation, Dong Zhuo must not be allowed to disturb the court and form a situation in which Dong Zhuo's family dominates. It is imperative to divide the troops, and in my opinion, Huang Gai's 10,000 troops are still directly marching into the suburbs of Luoyang. If Chang'an can grab it, it will be handed over to the First Legion of the Sword Pavilion, okay? ”

Zhou Budo said: "Gongfu only has 10,000 undertrained troops, and his strength is below Dong Zhuojun. Even if you get to Luoyang smoothly, how much of a role can it play? ”

Chen Long said: "So, I also want to bring someone over to meet Huang Gai." Let's divide the soldiers in Jiangzhou into two ways, Zilong took Xingba, Fengxiao and Yuanzhi, to the Sword Pavilion and Xu Shu to meet, there are your two army commanders and three top ministers, and the troops are superior, Hanzhong will be defeated. I took a hundred people from the special forces Lu Chang and Hu Ji to Luoyang in the north and went to the court to face off against Dong Zhuo. At least delay the time of Dong Zhuo's dictatorship. ”

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this: "The lord is going to Luoyang here, he is unprepared, if he is calculated by Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu, there will be insufficient troops at that time, and it will be very dangerous." ”

Chen Long smiled: "The ability of me and the special forces to escape for our lives is probably unsurpassed in the world." With the care of the queen and the cooperation of Zhao Da, you can rest assured. ”

In fact, what Chen Long was most worried about was that after Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang in the official history, he designed to kill Liu Hong and Liu Wei and support Liu Xie to ascend to the throne of God. If Empress He loses power, she will have no backer in the court, and the one who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes will become Dong Zhuo, and it will trigger Wang Yun's serial schemes, triggering the incident of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao escaping from Luoyang, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two tigers, will really be released back to Hushan when they are not well prepared. The wheels of official history are rolling, and we must do our best to block them, so that the unification of the world will become simpler, not more complicated.

Chen Long made the final decision, and Zhao Yun continued the Chang'an plan and led people to assist Liu Yan in fighting Hanzhong. Chen Long led people to Luoyang to join Huang Gai's troops who had gone north to Luoyang. The details have been decided, Chen Long asked Su Man to go to rest first, and ordered:

"First, send two special forces, rent a boat overnight and return to Hengyang to give Huang Gai an order, asking him to adjust the deployment of the Third Army to Hengyang, and quickly send the emperor's edict ordering the Lingling troops to go north to guard Chang'an to Zhao Yun in Hanzhong, and immediately lead his 10,000 people to Luoyang by the fastest and safest route."

"Second, send four special forces, led by Zu Lang, rent a boat overnight and go back to Jiangling, go straight to Luoyang along the line of Xiangyang and Wancheng, get in touch with Zhao Da, investigate Dong Zhuo's movements, convey the latest information through contact points in various places at any time, and prepare to welcome Chen Long to enter Luoyang secretly."

"Third, send Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Guo Jia, and Zhou Budo to still take a salt boat to the Sword Pavilion to lead the troops, and cooperate with Liu Yan to enter Hanzhong. 100 special forces fighters were left, led by Hao Pu and Li Tong, who were responsible for protecting the safety of the strategists. After entering Hanzhong, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Zhou Budo divided their troops into 15,000 troops, directly swept through the Hanzhong Plain, attacked Yangping Pass, and after succeeding, they held the edict given by the emperor and rushed to Chang'an to seize the city. Gan Ning and Xu Shu led 15,000 troops, cooperated with Liu Yan's troops to attack Hanzhong, and quickly broke away from the battlefield after succeeding, and marched to Chang'an through Yangping Pass. If any accident occurs in Chang'an on the way, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Zhou Budo have full authority to decide the advance and retreat of the army, and send people to inform Luoyang Zhao Da of the movement in time. ”

"Fourth, Chen Long himself led Zhou Cang, Lu Chang, Hu Ji and other remaining more than 90 special forces fighters to rent a boat and go down the river early tomorrow morning, heading straight to Jiangling and heading north. First settled in Xiangyang, went to Liu Xian's place to listen to the information, and then continued to pretend to be a merchant, and went to Luoyang through Nanyang County to meet Huang Gaijun. ”

Because of the changes in the court, Chen Long had to make a major strategic adjustment, and now he has to fight with Dong Zhuo for time and luck. This major military meeting in Jiangzhou ended in a solemn atmosphere.

To put it simply, early the next morning, everyone cherished each other and said goodbye. Our protagonist Chen Long and a group of special forces soldiers took a river boat down the river and re-appreciated the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Naturally, the speed of the boat was much faster, and everyone dressed up in disguise, and after landing in Jiangling, they went directly north to Xiangyang, the seat of Liu Biao's administration in Jingzhou-------.

Liu Xian of Xiangyang had already received the information of the special forces soldiers at the front station, and prepared a ferry boat to wait for the lord at the ferry port in Xiangyang. After meeting, Liu Xian didn't have time to greet him, so he arched his hand and said directly: "Lord, Emperor Han Ling has died!" ”

Chen Long was shocked: "Why? ”

Liu Xian said: "The details are unknown, but the news is true. Empress He wanted to rely on He Jin to support her eldest son Liu Wei as the new emperor, and He Jin took the opportunity to propose the abolition of eunuchs. Empress He had no choice but to order the dismissal of all the little yellow gates and let them all go home, leaving only the people close to He Jin to guard the center. I heard that all the permanent servants and Xiao Huangmen all ran to He Jin to ask for guilt, let He Jin deal with it. He Jin said to them: 'The whole world is disturbing, and it is the kings who are harming! Now that Dong Zhuo is coming soon, why don't you go home as soon as possible? Yuan Shao repeatedly persuaded He Jin to execute them at this time, but He Jin did not allow it. So He Jin supported Liu Wei to ascend the throne of God, changed the yuan to Guangxi, and Empress He was promoted to the queen mother. ”

When Chen Long heard that the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Wei, had ascended the throne, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard that Dong Zhuo was about to arrive in Luoyang, he became nervous again, and muttered to himself: "He Jin is in danger." ”

Liu Xian was shocked and said: "He Jin is now in full swing, and he has just supported the new emperor, what danger can he have?" ”

Chen Long thought that he couldn't explain the future to Liu Xian, so he prevaricated: "I'm worried that the eunuchs have always supported Liu Xie, and I'm afraid that He Jin will kill all their eunuchs after he takes power, and he won't let anyone slaughter them, maybe he will rise up and resist." Although Liu Xian nodded yes, he still couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

The land route was difficult, and seven days later, Chen Long and others pretended to be a caravan and finally passed Wancheng, Nanyang County. While walking, when he met a person Pegasus in front of Chen Long's horse, when Chen Long looked carefully, it was Zu Lang who led the team to Luoyang in advance.

Chen Long was shocked in his heart, could there be any bad news, and hurriedly asked, "Zu Lang, why did you come alone?" ”

Zu Lang's face was full of exhaustion, he flew off his horse, and whispered to Chen Long's ear: "Lord, Commander Huang's troops have been attacked in Funiu Mountain!" ”
