Chapter 285: The Three Armies Enter Luoyang City
However, it was said that not long after Niu Fu withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, Dong Yue and Fan Chou came to join with the defeated army. Niu Fu was deeply afraid that the coalition forces would go and return, so he immediately ordered the army to be stationed here.
More than an hour later, Dong Zhuojun's scouts came to report: The coalition forces burned the pontoon bridge and had retreated east to Tiger Prison Pass!
When Niu Fu heard this military situation at first glance, his heart was overjoyed, but he was still a little incredulous. Immediately, Niu Fu sent more scouts to investigate the enemy's situation.
More than an hour later, dozens of scouts came to report, all saying that the coalition forces were celebrating at the Tiger Prison!
Niu Fu settled down in his heart, and Xu Rong and Li Su did not doubt him.
The next day, Niu Fu, together with Xu Rong, Dong Yue, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, withdrew to Luoyang City with 20,000 people. Li Su, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong led 18,000 people to stay in the camp!
Lu Bu and Li Su had already relaxed their vigilance, and held a banquet in the camp, drinking and having fun day and night!
On the third day, when Dong Zhuojun was drunk and dreamed of death, Cao Cao and Liu Bei personally led 10,000 elites and divided their troops into three ways to attack the camp.
Lu Bu and Hua Xiong were so shocked that they didn't have time to organize resistance, and they didn't dare to fight, so they fled to Luoyang City alone.
The Cao-Liu coalition army attacked Dong Zhuo's army at night, and it took a total of an hour before and after. Coalition forces lost nearly 1,000 casualties; beheaded more than 8,000 Dong Zhuojun and captured nearly 10,000 Dong Zhuojun; Countless grains and grasses have been seized!
After the night battle of Bianshui, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin led their troops to be stationed here, waiting for the opportunity to enter Luoyang City in the west!
After the victory of the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yangbing took the empty city of Pinggao without blood.
When the Cao-Liu coalition army marched west to Bianshui for the first time, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others did not move.
When the Cao-Liu coalition army marched west to Bianshui for the second time, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others still ignored it and preserved their own strength!
On October 11, 188, Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, led more than 10,000 troops and set off from Yingchuan, Yuzhou. On October 12, Sun Jian's troops arrived at the shore of Rushui.
Just when Sun Jian's troops crossed the river, Xu Rong, Fan Chou, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Xiu led 50,000 troops and divided their troops into four ways to kill.
Sun Jian's army was almost wiped out, and Zu Mao, in order to protect his own lord, wore Sun Jian's red silk to lead away the pursuers, and was later shot by Dong Zhuojun. Sun Jian, together with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Sun Jing, fled to Luyang with dozens of horses!
On October 25, 188, Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion and sent Han Rong, the great Honglu, the executive Jinwu Hu Muban, the general master Wu Xun, and the Yueqi captain Wang Hao to Pinggao City to meet Yuan Shao. At the same time, Shaofu Yin Xun went to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu,
Dong Zhuo, in order to make peace with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, at the same time, ordered the envoy to use the lives of Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji to blackmail the two Yuans, hoping that the two would each quit!
In order to establish their prestige in front of the world's heroes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not care about the safety of their uncle and brother. Both of them rejected Dong Zhuo's proposal!
In order to show that they are inseparable from Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao instructed Hanoi to guard Wang Kuang and kill Hu Muban, Wang Hao, Wu Xun and others. Yuan Shu instructed his subordinates to kill Yin Xun. Only Dahonglu Han Rong was spared death because of his high morality and fame.
On the first day of November 188, when he heard the news that the envoy had been killed and Er Yuan refused to make peace, Dong Zhuo was furious and immediately sent people to destroy the Taifu Yuan Kui and the Taifu Yuan Ji. At the same time, Dong Zhuo sent the heads of the Yuan family to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Kui, who was wise enough to protect his life and seek skin with the tiger, may have understood that the person who made him die without a place to be buried was himself and his two nephews!
The gentle and elegant Yuan Ji, when his life comes to an end, he may think clearly that the person who destroyed him is his fellow brother!
Before Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu raised their troops, why couldn't they notify Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji? Why can't these two people be taken out of Luoyang City?
Why? Are you afraid of Yuan Kui's position as the head of the family? Are you afraid of Yuan Ji's eldest son?
……
heard the news that the Yuan family in Luoyang was destroyed, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were angry and angry; The Kwantung princes are also indignant!
On the fifth day of November 188, Sun Jian took Yuan Shu's 30,000 soldiers and horses out of Luyang City and went north to Luoyang.
Sun Jian gathered in Yinyang, Henan, and defeated 40,000 people of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Lu Bu, and Zhang Xiu.
Just when Sun Jian fought Yang Wei and rose again, he wanted to bring the mighty soldiers of the great victory into Dagu Pass. Yuan Shu listened to the slander of his subordinate advisers and cut off Sun Jian's grain and grass; At the same time, Yuan Shu forced Sun Jian to return the soldiers and horses!
Sun Jian's heart was full of grief and anger. Sun Jian rode alone at night, galloped more than 100 miles, and came to Luyang City to meet Yuan Shu.
Sun Jian saw Yuan Shu and said with an excited and solemn expression:
My Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo have no bitter enmity, this time I sent troops to the Northern Expedition, in order to repay His Majesty Longen, and kill the national thief; The next is to avenge the general's family. Why did the general be suspicious of me again and again?
At present, the morale of the Luyang Righteous Army is like a rainbow, the Sour Zao Righteous Army is preparing to march west into Luoyang City, and the Hanoi Righteous Army is on the way to Heyangjin and Mengjin.
In such a good situation, at the time of the battle of Huagong, if the general cut off food and grass and withdraw his troops to the south. What is the difference between Wu Qi shedding tears and Le Yi's failure?
Sun Jian implored the general to think carefully and make a decision as soon as possible!
Sun Jian's sentences were heartfelt, word by word, and his words were sincere, so that Yuan Shu's face was red, ashamed, and speechless.
Yuan Shu immediately agreed to Sun Jian's suggestion, and at the same time, allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian was overjoyed, thanked him, and returned to the Yangren Gathering overnight!
On the sixth day of the first month of November, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang led 15,000 troops from Pinggao City to attack Mengjin and Heyangjin on the south bank of the Great River.
Dong Zhuojun was prepared. Hu Zhen listened to Li Ru's suggestion and pretended to cross the river from Pingyin County to attack the back route of the Hanoi rebels.
Wang Kuang gave up crossing the river to attack Mengjin and Heyangjin, and instead stationed troops on the north bank of the river.
Hu Zhen's army was elite, but he crossed the river from Xiaopingjin, sixty miles east of Pingyin County, and went around to the back of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang's headquarters. Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang returned in defeat, and almost all the troops were wiped out!
Subsequently, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang led their troops to be stationed in Wen County, north of the Great River!
On the tenth day of November, Sun Jian led his troops to break through the Yuyuan Pass and entered the Dagu Pass. Dong Zhuo appointed Li Dao to persuade Sun Jian to surrender with a marriage and a high-ranking official. Sun Jian refused on the spot!
On November 15, Dong Zhuo personally led a large army to Dagu Pass to fight Sun Jian, but he was defeated! Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to capture Dagu Pass, and the Luyang Righteous Army was only ninety miles away from Luoyang City!
On November 15, 188, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin led more than 14,000 soldiers, all the way to the east of Luoyang City, fifty miles east!
Dong Zhuo, who fled back to Luoyang City all the way, was shocked when he heard that the sour jujube rebels were coming west.
It was night, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Niu Fu, Lu Bu and others abandoned Luoyang City; Hu Zhen abandoned Mengjin and Heyangjin; Flee to Chang'an City!
