Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 95 Strange Events in the Two Capitals
In the sound of the horn, the heavy gate of Chang'an City slowly opened, and hundreds of civil and military officials at all levels stepped out, silently lined up in two columns in front of the city gate, looking at the crowd of people in the distance, and their faces were also very different.
As the team continued to approach, the yellow house that symbolized the Son of Heaven was also faintly visible, and the civil and military ministers of Chang'an standing solemnly in front of the city gate were all dressed and waiting for the car.
Suddenly, in the midst of a long laugh, an important minister dressed in a luxurious court robe and wearing a crown of nine strings of red jade beads galloped forward, blocking the Son of Heaven's car without hesitation.
"Dong Zhuo!?" All the ministers of Chang'an were shocked. I didn't expect that this person not only unscrupulously dressed up as a prince, but also dared to blatantly collide with the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
"The Son of Heaven has arrived!" Dong Zhuo stood tall on the horse and looked coldly at the Chang'an ministers with different faces: "Why don't you hurry up?" ”
The eyes of all the Chang'an officials were focused on one person.
That man was burly and majestic, and at this time he was standing in the position of the head of the ministers of Chang'an, and it was the left general Huangfu Song, who was known as the first general in Liangzhou.
"Father!" A person behind him called softly, and quietly pulled the sleeves of Huangfu Song's robe. That man is about thirty years old, dressed in a military uniform, but he is the son of Huangfu Song, who has a long-forgotten friendship with Dong Zhuo.
A helpless wry smile flashed slightly on Huangfu Song's mouth, the expression of struggle and hesitation on his face flashed, and he finally stepped forward and made a big salute: "Minister, General Zuo Huangfu Song, welcome the Son of Heaven and the Grand Master!" ”
"Ministers, welcome the Son of Heaven, welcome the Grand Master!" With Huangfu Song's bow, all Chang'an officials bowed down together.
"Hahaha!" Seeing that Huangfu Song, the spiritual leader of the Liangzhou Army, also succumbed to his own authority, even with Dong Zhuo's calm and sophisticated. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Because this not only indicates the oath of allegiance of the 20,000 elite soldiers under Huangfu Song, but also symbolizes that Dong Zhuo has established a dominant position in the Liangzhou family from now on, and no longer has to rely on the support of Han Sui and Ma Teng.
He turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Huangfu Song, held him up and said gently: "Brother Yizhen, why be polite? In the future, we will need your full assistance! ”
Looking at Huangfu Song's wry smile, Dong Zhuo smiled and said in his ear: "On the way, the Son of Heaven has an edict that he will worship Brother Yizhen as the general of the chariot cavalry in the near future, and the brother is here to congratulate him first!" ”
"What?" Huangfu Song trembled slightly, and his face was full of surprise and confusion.
"Haha! Kenju! Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction. Said to Huangfu Jianshou: "In the future, the heavy burden of my Han's military governance and garrison will fall on your father and son....... I must help your father and son!" ”
"Obey the orders of the Taishi!" Huangfu Jianshou showed an irrepressible smile and leaned down deeply.
"Good, good!" Dong Zhuo said happily: "Everyone, it's getting dark, why don't you ask the Son of Heaven to drive into Beijing first?" ”
"Into Beijing?" Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Yes!" The palace of the Son of Heaven has been renovated, and Master Lao respectfully invites the holy driver! ”
"Let's go!" Dong Zhuo has any meaning of "respectfully inviting the holy driver"? He waved his hand casually: "Enter Beijing!" ”
The rumbling chariot and horse brigade flowed again, surging straight towards the city of Chang'an.
"Fengxian, you are watching from the city gate yourself!" Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu walking by his side. Only then did he say softly: "Give me a careful investigation of those courtiers and families from Luoyang, if there is anything wrong, you can act cheaply!" ”
"Please rest assured, the last general understands!" Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo's expressionless cold eyes. I sighed secretly in my heart, but immediately replied with a firm reply.
Just when Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an in all directions, Luoyang City presented a miserable scene of purgatory ghost domains.
The fierce street fighting in the city lasted for four days and nights, and finally gradually stopped. indicates that the battle of more than 10,000 Dong Zhuojun's trapped beasts has finally come to an end. Under the repeated attacks of Sun Jianjun, Yuan Shaojun and various princes, their fall was only a matter of time.
However, no one expected it. It was this Dong Zhuo army, which was trapped in a mortal situation, but it caused an unimaginably heavy blow to the entire coalition army and the imperial capital Luoyang.
Compared with the coalition forces of the various divisions of the battle, more than 10,000 Dong troops were forced to unite together, forming a defensive position on the royal road leading to the palace, they used the houses and obstacles along the street, condescendingly played the advantage of accurate archery, and shot the coalition troops in batches, the corpses were everywhere, and used the gap between the coalition army to reorganize the lineup, and successfully launched several formed cavalry counterattacks, which not only completely defeated the main force of the three-way coalition army into the city, but also almost ate one of the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao's general Wenchou....... Even with a strong martial skill like Wen Chou, when facing the impact of more than a thousand cavalry like a landslide and tsunami, he could only turn around and flee for his life.
If it weren't for Sun Jian, Sun Ce, father and son, each leading one piece, taking advantage of the emptiness of the main force of the Dong army, to attack from the north and south at the same time, the stubborn resistance of the Dong army would never have been collapsed in just four days.
The blood flowed on the royal road, and the last Dong army had been eaten away by the Changsha army with superior forces, and the sound of fighting in various parts of the city gradually weakened.
Except for the Changsha Army, all the princes' soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties in this long and cruel battle of grinding meat, and they all withdrew from Luoyang to regroup...... After losing the target of Dong Jun, who knows if there will be competitors with ulterior motives who will stab themselves in the back?
The war is gradually coming to an end, and the once prosperous and luxurious imperial capital has suffered unprecedented damage in the war. At least a third of the city was destroyed by fire, black smoke and ashes were rising from the sky, countless houses were destroyed, countless civilians were killed in the chaos, and heart-rending weeping and crying seemed to question the ruthless indifference of the sky.
Sun Jian stood on the palace wall at the end of the imperial road with the hilt of his hand, his cold eyes patrolling back and forth on the battlefield near and far, and his heart was full of ambition. Although the Changsha army also paid huge losses, it was all worth it...... The miraculous feats of recovering the imperial capital are none other than him.
He couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude to Nanying again, if it weren't for Nanying's withdrawal from the Bohai Navy at the cost of the war, he exchanged a large amount of grain and grass for the Changsha army at Yuan Shao's place and the appointment to attack the north gate, and gave him a surprise attack on Luoyang before leaving, but he was afraid that the Changsha army's casualties would be doubled. It can't get back such a brilliant result.
After this battle, the name of Sun Jian and the Changsha Army will shake the Quartet, and even go down in history forever...... Thinking of this, Sun Jian's face finally showed a flying look.
"General! Checkmate! Cheng Pu rushed over from the road: "Our army has cleared the entire imperial road, and the South Palace and the North Palace have all been mastered by us!" ”
"Dong Jun resists everywhere in the city, and it will be wiped out in one hour!" Huang Gai also appeared on the other end of the road, and he said in a deep voice: "Including Yuan Shao, all the princes have withdrawn from Luoyang!" ”
"Humph! Count them in acquaintance! Sun Jian let out a disdainful snort from his nose: "Otherwise, it will depend on the tricks they have been secretly using against Ben Jiang and Han Yang." It's time to give them some color...... Ben will not have Han Yang's open-mindedness! ”
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai glanced at each other, and suddenly said in unison: "Congratulations to the general, from now on his fame will move the world and shock the heroes!" ”
"Hehe, don't be so complacent just yet!" Sun Jian smiled and said: "Dong Zhuo is still at ease in the world, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers will still not give up their ambitions, and we already owe Nan Hanyang a great favor!" ”
"The general and the eagle are like brothers. The major general has even more respect for him! Cheng Pu smiled: "Speaking of which, we and the Bohai Navy have been staunch allies for a long time, and the general will always return this favor!" ”
"What do you mean for a long time? What are you trying to imply? Sun Jian glared at Cheng Pu with some displeasure: "Ben will know what you want to say, but Han Yang treats me with great affection." As long as he doesn't live up to me, I will never fail him in this life! ”
"Yes, General!" Cheng Pu smiled bitterly: "The general values love and righteousness, and the last general will eventually take effect!" ”
"Don't talk about that!" Sun Jian casually looked at the ruins in the distance: "What about Ce'er?" Why is there no news of him? ”
"General!" Huang Gai immediately said: "According to the subordinates of the last general." Before the battle was about to end, the major general spotted a group of unidentified people and was leading his troops to chase after them. I believe it will pay off soon! ”
"Unidentified people? It's not Dong Jun's soldiers and horses to say this! Sun Jian said thoughtfully: "Ce'er may have discovered an important figure in Dong Zhuo's henchmen...... It is no wonder that after the fall of Luoyang, most of the officials in the DPRK and China chose to rebel, and Dong Thief withdrew from Luoyang in such a hurry, and many henchmen were afraid that they were caught off guard and were forced to stay in the city! ”
"General, do you need the last general to pick it up?" Cheng Pu hesitated a little and said: "Although the young general is brave, after all, he is young, and the last general is worried that he will make some mistakes!" ”
"Don't worry!" Sun Jian smiled lightly: "Since this kid has experienced in Bohai and Youzhou, his growth is so fast, and he will be impressed by him...... He's going to be fine! ”
"That's exactly what happened!" Huang Gai said sincerely: "This Eagle Yang Zhonglang General is really a strange person in the world, and he can make the young general grow into a unique general in a short period of time...... The reason why the Bohai Navy is full of talents and invincible is only because of the leadership and training of General Nan! ”
"You're right!" Sun Jian laughed, and said without jealousy: "Fortunately, he is the brother of Ben Jiang and our ally, otherwise, Ben Jiang is afraid that he will not be able to eat and sleep!" ”
"The Major General is back!" On the royal road in the distance, there were Changsha soldiers cheering loudly.
"Oh?" The three of them followed the prestige together. But seeing that the Changsha troops on the royal road have dispersed, a group of soldiers and horses galloped towards the palace gate in waves, and the first one was handsome and young, silver-armored and white-horse, which was Sun Ce, whom Nanying called "Little Overlord".
"Father! Two generals! Sun Ce hurriedly walked up to the palace wall with a yellow cloth burden, but there was no joy in his expression, but a trace of unspeakable apprehension.
"...... are you," Sun Jian was stunned, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Except for General Cheng and General Huang......" Sun Ce's gaze swept like cold lightning, and shouted to the Changsha soldiers on the palace wall: "All retreat from the city wall!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers of the Changsha Army immediately disappeared into nothing.
"Major General, what do you mean by this?" Cheng Pu was a little stunned and said, "Nothing really happened, right?" ”
"So to speak!" Sun Ce's immature face was full of solemnity and solemnity, he took a deep breath, and then shook off the yellow cloth burden in his hand: "Father, two generals, please take a look at what this is?" ”
The eyes of the three of them just fell on the burden, but they couldn't help but be shocked at the same time: "The jade seal of the Son of Heaven!" (To be continued......)
