Yuan Shu thought that after he became emperor, the surrounding princes would be able to obey him. But it turned out that this move of him to claim the title of emperor only made everyone put the first target on him. Not long after, the imperial court that migrated to Chang'an issued an edict ordering all the surrounding princes to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu together.

Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao was the first to respond, and led his troops into Yuzhou. Yuan Shu was entrenched in Luoyang, why did Cao Cao go to attack Peijun and Huainan and other places? It's very simple, after several years of see-saw around Luoyang, it has long been barren, and it is useless to gain, so it is better to go south to seize Shouchun and other places.

There are many people who have the same idea as him, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent the general Huang Zu down the river, Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao sent the general Tai Shi Ci to take 3,000 Danyang soldiers, and 20,000 soldiers and horses in the state, and went north to capture Niuzhu, Liyang, Hefei and other places. Xuzhou Mu Taoqian also sent soldiers and horses to attack Wu County.

With Yuan Shu isolated in Luoyang, Yuzhou was soon divided among the princes. Most of Yuan Shu's defenders who remained in Yuzhou surrendered without a fight, and only a few resisted for a while, but to no avail.

With little effort, Cao Cao expanded his influence to the south of the Huai River, bordering the forces of Liu Biao and Liu Xuan. Just as he was planning to continue to use troops south, bad news suddenly came. His son Cao Song was killed by the Xuzhou soldiers, and all of them were killed, along with his family.

After Cao Cao pacified Yanzhou, he used troops to the east and invaded Xuzhou several times. Later, it was Yuan Shu who became emperor, which made Cao Mengde shift his attention from the east to the south. Now that Yuzhou has been carved up, and something like this has happened, Cao Cao immediately sent troops to attack Xuzhou again in the name of "avenging his father".

And when Cao's army entered Xuzhou, Liu Bei had already led his soldiers and horses to break through Luoyang City. After Yuan Shu became emperor, the princes of the Quartet came to attack together. After several defeats, Yuan Shu's soldiers fled. Yan Xiang, who had dissuaded him from becoming emperor, also fled west and ran to Hongnong.

If it weren't for the poor supply in the rear, Liu Bei would have already led his troops to kill him, but it was not too late. After leading the troops to Hongnong, Huangfu Song was already ill, and the military power was handed over to Liu Bei. He himself is not a first-class general, but under his command Guan Yu Zhang Fei is the wing, and with Yan Xiang and Yang Xiu as the auxiliary, he successfully defeated Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, recruited rebels, and the army swelled to 15,000 people.

He brought 3,000 soldiers and horses from Guanzhong, and 2,000 people from Huangfu Song's hands, and after a few battles, his strength swelled to three times the original, which shows that the combat power of Yuan Shu's army is low. After losing Sun Jian, none of the generals under Yuan Highway could fight.

The weather has cooled, and the city of Luoyang has become very depressed. When Sun Jian broke through Luoyang last time, the city wall was damaged in many places, and by the time Liu Bei led the army to kill, the gap in the city wall had not been completely repaired. Yuan Shujun in the city had no intention of facing the battle, and when Liu Bei opened up the formation and prepared to attack the city, Yuan Shu had already led people to open the east gate, leading his civil and military officials and harem concubines to flee in a hurry.

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to continue the pursuit, but many of his soldiers and horses surrendered, and the military discipline was very poor, so after breaking the city, he took the opportunity to loot in Luoyang City. Although Luoyang has been looted many times, there are still many places worth looting in the city.

Seeing this, Liu Bei could only stop pursuing Yuan Shu, and instead ordered Gao Shun to take a thousand soldiers to the streets to maintain order, and he himself blocked more than a dozen city gates with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to prevent thieves from coming in.

"Duke Ming, why don't you continue to lead troops to pursue Yuan Shu? It is true that the capture of Luoyang is a great achievement, but only when Yuan Highway is captured, this is the first merit of this dispatch! ”

Yang Xiu was a twenty-year-old young man, he was tall and big, but his body was a little thin. As the son-in-law of Hongnong Yang, after Liu Bei led his troops to Hongnong, he funded a lot of food and salary, which won Liu Bei's respect.

Liu Bei pointed to the chaotic image in the city, and said helplessly: "How do I not know that catching Yuan Shu is the first achievement?" But Dezu, please see, there is so much chaos in the city, if you don't restrain the soldiers, I'm afraid that the palace in Luoyang will be burned! ”

Yang Xiu said in a loud voice: "Since these soldiers refuse to abide by military discipline, what use do you want him?" Kill them all! ”

Yan Xiang on the side immediately said: "Since ancient times, the killing of prisoners is unknown, this matter must not be done!" ”

He said to Liu Bei: "My lord, now that the Marquis of Julu is doing things, if there is a rumor of killing prisoners at this time, I am afraid that it will attract the attack of the officials of the DPRK and the Central Government and the dissatisfaction of the Marquis of Julu!" ”

Yan Xiang was originally the master of Yuan Shu's subordinates, and when Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, he was the only one who tried his best to dissuade him. However, Yuan Highway was blinded by lard, and he had to run wildly on the road to death. After Yuan Shu became emperor, the situation really took a turn for the worse, and Yan Xiang didn't want to perish with Yuan Shu, so he found an opportunity and escaped with more than 100 cronies.

He first took refuge under the tent of Huangfu Song, and later saw Liu Bei and knew that he had a close relationship with the general Chen Cheng, so he joined Liu Bei's command. Yan Xiangjiu has been in Yuan Shujun's army for a long time, and he knows the reality of Yuan Shujun's reality. He followed Liu Bei on the expedition and surrendered many soldiers and horses of Yuan Shujun.

At this time, hearing Yang Xiu's suggestion to kill those surrendered soldiers together, Yan Xiang immediately stood up to stop it. Liu Bei was reluctant to slaughter the surrendered troops, and knew that Yang Xiu's family had been killed by Yuan Shujun, so he said: "Although the traitor Yuan Shu escaped, but the world is so big, where is there a place for him?" Dezu only had to rest in Luoyang City for a few days, and there would be news in the future. ”

After rectifying military discipline, that is, killing more than 100 rebellious soldiers who plundered in the city, Liu Bei led his troops to station in Luoyang City. Luoyang has been damaged for a long time after repeated wars, and the city walls and palaces have been damaged, so Liu Bei took the soldiers to do some repairs, and by the way, recruited the surrounding refugees to come to Luoyang to farm.

In just over 10 days, more than 2,000 people were recruited. However, the surrounding area of Luoyang has long been a white land, and there is no food in the city, and the supplies in the army are not enough, and with two more mouths, there will be even more food to eat. Liu Bei asked Yang Xiu to find a way to collect more grain and grass in Hongnong, and at the same time sent a letter to Chang'an, hoping to transfer more grain and grass over.

However, not long after the music was issued, there was chaos in Luoyang.

Chen Cheng is very strict in governing the army, and all kinds of military laws and regulations are placed there, as long as he violates military discipline, he himself will be whipped when he should be whipped, and those who should be punished with the rod will be punished with the rod. As soon as Liu Qian is a princess, the punishment will be slightly lighter.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses belonged to the Ministry of War, and the quota was 3,000, so the supplies had always been distributed according to 3,000 people. Even if Chen Cheng greeted them and said that he would give them more to ensure that the soldiers would not be cold and hungry when they were on an expedition, it was only 20% more than the normal supply.

The Xiliang army was well treated, and the soldiers were treated very well. Among the supplies sent, in addition to rice and noodles, there are also a lot of bacon, salted fish and other materials. With an additional 20% supply, it was enough for the 3,000 people under Liu Bei's command to live a life of eating meat once a week.

However, Liu Bei first took Huangfu Song's 2,000 soldiers and horses, and later recruited more than 10,000 people, but the supply did not increase. After the rations of the soldiers were distributed to those who had surrendered, the soldiers were already dissatisfied. Now they had to divide some more of the food that was only enough to wrap their stomachs, and the soldiers' resentment was even heavier.

In the evening, when the soldiers returned to the barracks after a hard day's work, and when they were ready to start the meal, they found that the food had changed from dry rice to porridge, and now it had become gruel again. Looking at the rice in the bowl, which could even be counted one by one, someone shouted on the spot, "We have worked so hard to repair the city wall, should we give us this kind of food?" ”

"That's it!"

"We used to be under Yuan Shu, although we didn't have a good time, but we were still able to eat enough! Now I voted for Liu Bei, but I was starving! ”

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Lei Bo of Yuan Shu's old department took the opportunity to shout: "Liu Bei treats the strong man so harshly, the big guy might as well be the opposite!" ”

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"

Chen Lan, another of Yuan Shu's old subordinates, also took the opportunity to fan the soldiers and said loudly: "Come with me into Liu Bei's barracks!" There is a mountain of wine and meat, enough for everyone to be happy for a while! ”

Liu Bei's military camp did have a lot of bacon and salted fish, but there was no wine. But where would the angry soldiers care? They screamed and killed the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Bei to take care of the various places, and then rushed out of the barracks, arson in the city, and charged around.

The sudden turmoil made the city that had been quiet become noisy, and Liu Bei heard the noise outside, and jumped up from the bed in shock. He didn't have time to put on his armor, so he rushed out with his horizontal knife and asked the guards outside in a loud voice, "What's going on?" Why is it so noisy outside? ”

The guards didn't know what was going on, and they looked panicked.

"Click", the sound of footsteps and armor colliding with each other came from outside, Liu Bei immediately pulled out the horizontal knife and shouted: "What person?" ”

Gao Shun, who was dressed all over his body, walked out of the darkness quickly, knelt down on one knee from a distance of more than a dozen, and said loudly: "General, the ten battalions of soldiers and horses in the city have rebelled, and now they have been killed here!" ”

After capturing Luoyang, Liu Bei himself did not live in the palace, and the soldiers were not allowed to live in it, so more than 15,000 people lived in the original Fang City, and the distance between them was not too far. As soon as the rebels launched, they quickly killed Liu Bei.

The torches on the side "crackled", and the beating flames shone on Liu Bei's body, pulling out a constantly beating shadow behind him. The expression on Liu Bei's face seemed to be constantly changing, he took a deep breath, and ordered loudly: "Gao Shun, immediately lead the troops to the streets to quell the rebellion!" ”

Gao Shun hesitated for a moment and said, "General, the situation is unclear now, it is better to hold here for the time being and wait until dawn to send troops." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and was about to speak, when an angry shout suddenly sounded outside, "I am Zhang Yide, who dares to fight with me?"
