Chapter 254: The Battle of Sili (4)

In mid-April, because Hanzhong had already been eliminated from Sugu, Liu Yan's troops in Guanzhong were very smooth, but what made him more helpless was that his generals launched a dispute over the route of sending troops, some people thought that they sent troops from Nanzheng to kill the Meridian Dao soldiers in Chang'an City, forcing the Guanzhong army to return to defense, and some people thought that they should fight steadily and steadily, encroach on the forces in Guanzhong, go to Chencang, destroy Ma Teng first, and enter Chang'an.

"Fart, if you go to Chen Cang, don't say that there is a Ma family army blocking Fufeng, in case Chang'an sends reinforcements and blocks us near Chen Cang, with Chen Cang's advantage, how can you break the enemy?"

"Then do you think it's safe to take the Meridian Road soldiers to Chang'an? In case he angered Long Jun, he withdrew his troops and returned to Guanzhong, and fought to the end with us. ”

Seeing the two groups of people spitting over this, the already elderly Liu Yan was tired of it, but fortunately he had a lot of prestige, so after playing 50 boards on both sides, Liu Yan decided to get out of the chicken head pass, take the ramp, and enter Chang'an along the Weishui. It's a pity that Xun Yu, who knows Liu Yan's character well, has already guessed the approximate route of the other party, so he asked Ma Teng Chen Bingyi County to stop Liu Yan.

In the military aircraft department in Chang'an City in the evening, Xun Yu and Jia Xu were processing the approvals sent by various places during the day, looking at the reports from all over the country asking for recruitment for help in Chang'an, Xun Yu sighed, one son fell wrong, and all the games were lost. I didn't expect Liu Yan's ambition to be so big, and he actually dared to cooperate with Hu Moupi and Dong Zhuo.

On the other side, Jia Xu saw this, gently put down the red pen in his hand, and said with a smile, "Liu Yan sent troops to Guanzhong, the soldiers are full of food, and he is in the name of the royal family, so it is normal for people in Guanzhong to be panicked." And we measure the land before and after, and gather the population, how can the families everywhere not be afraid? If they don't take this opportunity to raise private soldiers, then they will be in vain. ”

When Xun Yu heard this, his starry eyes sent out a killing intent, and he said hatefully, "The maggots of the tarsal bones, the blood-sucking insects, should be killed!" ”

"Let's solve the matter in front of us first, since they want to raise private soldiers, let's get it, as for recruiting soldiers in a righteous and bright way? They don't think about it, let them figure it out on their own, I don't believe that such a big family can't muster a private army of more than 100 people. "If you talk about ruthlessness, ten Xun Yu can't compare to Jia Xu, I'm afraid that only Yin Shi Li Ru can compare with it in this world.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Xun Yu's eyes lit up, all the families are strong, which one has no hidden population, these people want to raise private soldiers, Chang'an allows, so don't give them the opportunity to recruit private soldiers, they can only choose strong labor from the hidden population, and when Long Jun returns, Chang'an can completely pull out these tumors in one battle.

At the end of April of the third year of the first peace, Chang'an lifted the ban, and the major families in Guanzhong began to secretly recruit troops to strengthen their own forces, so as to wait for Long Jun's defeat and take refuge in Liu Yan or separate themselves. However, their dream was broken by Xun You, who went to supervise the war, and Liu Yan was stopped by Ma Teng in Yixian, and it was difficult to advance an inch for half a month. But none of them dared to take a stand at this time and stand on Liu Yan's side.

Long Jun, who was in front of Gucheng and was fighting with Dong Zhuojun, smiled coldly after learning about this, not caring at all what the Guanzhong family would do. At the beginning, Long Jun planned to let Ma Chao return to Fufeng to help Ma Teng, but Xun You stopped the matter in Chang'an and chose to let Ma Chao lie near Fufeng as a backhand. No one knows whether Ma Teng is antipathy now, if a white-eyed wolf is raised with the support of Chang'an's best efforts, Guanzhong will definitely be defeated. On the contrary, with Ma Chao here, even if Ma Teng has the opposite intention to fuel the arrogance of those families, Chang'an will not fall, and he can even unite with Pang De to wipe out this group of people.

The Guanzhong army, which originally wanted to break through Gucheng in three days, was now entrusted to Gucheng for more than a month, all 300 trebuchets collapsed, and the siege crossbow also became an ornament, with the loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the harassment of Dong Zhuojun at night was also prevented, which Long Jun hated deeply. even thought of retiring from Hanguguan.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu are also quite helpless about this, the current situation depends on who breaks the situation first, if Liu Yan breaks through Chang'an, the Guanzhong army will be defeated, on the contrary, Long Jun's side can gather superior forces to capture Gucheng and enter Luoyang.

"Alas, this Zhang Liao is not a figure praised by the lord, but he actually defended Dayang without moving, forcing Gongming to retreat, and Xu Rong does not dare to act rashly now. It is even necessary to prevent Zhang Liao from crossing the river and sneaking into Shaanxi County. ”

"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, that's me!" With a self-deprecating sigh, Long Jun walked to the edge of the map, his eyes locked on Luoyang, and a hint of determination popped up in his eyes from time to time. Now that the Guanzhong Army has not yet been exposed, Long Jun has put all the gambling books on the bright side, and if the Blazing Sky Army is allowed to capture Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo alive, then the Gucheng side will collapse without a fight. With this thought, Long Jun turned around and beckoned to Guo Jia and the others.

Seeing this, everyone in the account was puzzled, and leaned into Long Jun's side one after another. When everyone gathered, Long Jun tapped his finger on Luoyang and said coldly, "We have been in a stalemate in Gucheng for more than a month, and if we continue like this, it will inevitably cause me to lose morale and boost the morale of the enemy. So I decided to let Longyang lead the troops to Luoyang, capture Dong Zhuo alive, and let the army of Gucheng collapse without a fight. ”

Hearing this decision, Guo Jia and the others were dumbfounded, Dong Zhuo personally sat in Luoyang, with 20,000 elites in his hands, no matter how powerful the Blazing Sky Army was, it could not be lower than four times the strength, not to mention that it was still a strong city like Luoyang. So Guo Jia immediately persuaded, "The lord must not, Luoyang is not Xiqiang, even if the Blazing Sky Army bravely crowns Guanzhong, it may not be able to break Luoyang." What's more, when you got married, the Blazing Sky Army had been exposed to the enemy's field of vision, and it was impossible for Li Ru to be unguarded against this. ”

"I know, so I don't plan to let Longyang hide his whereabouts and sneak attack Luoyang, but appear under Luoyang City with great fanfare, the 20,000 troops in Dong Zhuo's hands are elite, but who can guarantee that Dong Zhuo will definitely send troops out of the city? If he didn't dare to go out of the city, the Blazing Sky Army would let Lu Bumang stab him in the back. On the contrary, if Dong Zhuo sends troops to attack, then I will let Zilong give up the three passes in the south and attack Luoyang, I don't believe that Dong Zhuo has other ways to call for reinforcements. ”

After Long Jun finished speaking, Guo Jia and Xu Shu understood Long Jun's intentions, Dong Zhuo wanted to trust, then the Guanzhong Army would not let him trust, whether it was a sneak attack or a frontal siege, it was to force Dong Zhuo to mess up the square inch, completely muddy the water of Si Li, and force Dong Zhuo to fight a decisive battle. But the final result was that Dong Zhuo was defeated and Guanzhong won a miserable victory.

After pondering for a long time, Guo Jia and Xu Shu sighed, even if they did not oppose or support, in fact, the best way now is to stick to Hangu Pass, wave the army to counterattack Liu Yan, and wait for the autumn harvest to contact Cao Cao to attack Dong Zhuo together. But first, Guan Zhongjun was beaten out of anger, and second, Long Jun didn't want to give Dong Zhuo a breather. lest Yuan Shao occupy Jizhou, and send troops to pick the fruits of the Guanzhong army.

So on the same day, Long Yang led the Blazing Sky Army to swagger close to Luoyang from the south side of Henan, and then sent an urgent order from the Gucheng camp to Xuanyuan Pass. Three days later, Zhao Yun abandoned Xuanyuan Pass and led his troops to hide at the foot of the mountain, waiting for Dong Zhuo's choice.

Dong Zhuo, who was blocked by the Blazing Sky Army in Luoyang, was furious when he learned that the other party only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and felt that Long Jun's move was intended to humiliate him, so he planned to send troops out of the city to strangle the Blazing Sky Army. However, after Li Ru learned of this, he hurriedly stopped Dong Zhuo and reminded Dong Zhuo not to pay attention to the other party, so as not to fall into the trap of the other party.

However, Dong Zhuo was already angry by the other party's move, where could he listen to Li Ru's persuasion, so he shouted loudly, "There is a fucking trap? What kind of bullshit Blazing Sky Army, don't you think that if you drown Xiqiang's group of miscellaneous people, you can show off your might in front of this general? ”

"Lord, what is the combat power of Long Yang's Blazing Sky Army, let's not mention it for the time being, just based on the identity of this kid, do you think Long Jun will let him take risks? It is rumored that Long Jun has taken this younger brother since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is like that of father and son. Subordinates dare to assert that Long Jun's move must have a back-move, and now the situation has slowly deviated towards us, and we must not fall short for this! ”

Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru's words were not unreasonable, and the anger in his heart suddenly subsided a lot, but no matter what, he didn't want Long Yang to be outside Luoyang City, so he snorted coldly, "Even so, this son must not stay outside Luoyang City, otherwise don't say where the old man's face is, Lu Bu's side will be affected because of this, what if this kid suddenly withdraws his army and sneaks up on Henan?" Didn't the spies say that the Blazing Sky Army was the best at sneak attacks? ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo understood his hard work, Li Ru groaned and said, "If the lord thinks that Longyang is an eyesore, we might as well send 10,000 horses to drive them away, if we come again, we can take this opportunity to annihilate the other party here." ”

"What do you mean?" Just now, I didn't want him to send troops to strangle the other party, but at this moment, he wanted to annihilate him, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with a puzzled face, hoping that the other party could give an explanation.

"The reason is very simple, Long Yang appeared here, it is nothing more than to put pressure on the lord or have other plans, but if we succeed in driving Long Yang away, it means that the other party has no support. At this time, as long as the troops are secretly led out of the city, and the news is sent to Fengxian to let them be careful of the sneak attack behind the Blazing Sky Army, the Blazing Sky Army can only return to this place, at this time, the army that secretly went out of the city and the army chasing Long Yang attacked before and after, isn't the head of this Zhenbei Marquis's younger brother the best gift we gave to Long Jun? ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's face instantly appeared with joy, and he stroked his palms and smiled, "It's not a loss to Zhang Liang, who is an old man, good strategy." In this case, I see what Long Jun will fight with the old man! Then his face changed, and he said coldly to the guards on the side of the garrison, "Pass the order, and order Yang Ding to lead 10,000 troops out of the city to drive away Longyang." ”

"Whoa."

Looking at the backs of the guards leaving, a smug smile slowly appeared on Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's faces, as if they saw the scene of Long Yang's head in front of Long Jun's eyes.

It's a pity that this time, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru not only underestimated the combat power of the Blazing Sky Army, but also underestimated Long Yang's determination to capture Dong Zhuo alive. When he saw that there were only about 10,000 men and horses out of the city to chase after him, Long Yang led them to the intersection of Yishui and Luoshui, and then with the incomparably strong individual combat ability of the Blazing Sky Army, he divided 2,000 people and carried out the sparrow assassination into pieces. In half a day, Yang Ding's army lost two men and horses.

In order to make up for the merits, Yang Ding had to continue to pursue and kill Long Yang, but on the second day, when the sun just rose, the 10,000 horses led by Yang Ding were killed by the Blazing Sky Army less than 5,000.
