Chapter 18: Dong Zhuo's rebellion
The little emperor has been pampered since he was a child, and where has he been so frightened, he crawls on his horse in a daze, and is taken care of by two guards.
Xiao Chen Liuwang was originally listless, but when he saw Lu Xiaoshu's majestic appearance, he admired it in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Can the general know that I am waiting here?" ”
Lu Xiaoshu knew that he would be the emperor in the future, so he coaxed him and said: "I am an immortal, and I can predict the future." ”
Xiao Chen Liuwang was dumbfounded and said, "You dare to tease me?" ”
Lu Xiaoshu saw that the left and right guards were still far away, approached King Chen Liu, and said in a low voice: "I expect that His Highness will be the lord of the world, this is a heavenly opportunity, Your Highness should keep it in mind." ”
Xiao Chen Liuwang said angrily: "The general has a meritorious role in saving the driver today, I just haven't heard what I said just now, don't talk nonsense." ”
Lu Xiaoshu knew that this forecast was too amazing, and when he saw that he didn't believe it, he didn't take it to heart.
It turned out that the emperor and the ministers were held hostage here all the way, and when they saw that the road ahead was dark and gloomy, and the Yellow River was turbulent, where was there a way to survive?
Fortunately, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs saw that there was no way to survive in front of them, and they were severely reprimanded by Lu Zhi and other ministers who arrived, thinking of the royal kindness in the past, they actually found out with their conscience, gave up the abduction, and committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river. At this time, there was a state army coming to King Qin, and the chaos in the palace should come to an end.
Lu Xiaoshu escorted the emperor back to the palace, but the emperor was unwell, so everyone could only walk slowly. At this time, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind me, like a galloping horse. As far as the eye can see, I saw that at the foot of the Beibi Mountain, there was a large group of people and horses riding horses, all the way along the river, holding torches, like a dancing fire dragon in the night.
Lu Xiaoshu secretly said that it was not good, it must be Dong Zhuo's army who came when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked Xu Huang to lead the troops to escort the emperor and his ministers back to the palace, and he brought 500 cavalry to intercept Dong Zhuo's army.
Dong Zhuojun's front army arrived, and saw hundreds of cavalry displayed at the turn of the official road on the riverbank, with deep forests and dense trees on his side, and he didn't know if there were any ambushes, but seeing that they had a fearless appearance, he secretly doubted in his heart.
The official road is narrow, and only three or four people can be accommodated side by side at most, and Dong Zhuo's army is lined up, although there are many of them, they can't take advantage of it for a while.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the leading general said angrily in his heart: "I am Hua Xiong, the cavalry captain under the command of Liangzhou Thorn Shi, and the people and horses in front of me quickly give way to pass, delaying the important affairs of our army Qinwang, you will not escape from death." ”
Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said: "The emperor is all right now, you go back and tell Dong Zhuo, tell him to quickly lead the troops back to Liangzhou, don't think about it." ”
Hua Xiong was furious, shouting and carrying a spear to kill.
When Lu Xiaoshu saw him riding a horse to kill, he naturally would not back down, and he also stepped forward, and the heavenly painting halberd in his hand swept towards the spear that Hua Xiong killed. Hua Xiong only felt that his arms were like being struck by lightning, and the huge force was coming like a stormy wave, the spear in his hand was swung to one side, and the door in his chest was wide open, and he hurriedly endured the soreness of his arms, and tried his best to return to the spear to protect himself, but where was the time, only to feel that the cold light in front of him was dazzling, and before he could react, Fang Tian's halberd had pierced Hua Xiong's throat! The war horse under the crotch is galloping forward, but Hua Xiong has been picked by Lu Xiaoshu on the tip of the halberd, obviously he can't survive!
The cavalry behind Hua Xiong saw that the main general was dead, and there was a big chaos for a while, and when he saw Lu Xiaoshu with a halberd carrying Hua Xiong's corpse, he rode his horse to kill him, and his soul was scattered, where did he dare to resist? Busy and messy, the road is narrow, the rear army does not know what happened to the front army, and urges forward, the front army is blocked by the rear army, so it can only bite the bullet.
But Lu Xiaoshu is like a god descending from heaven, invincible all the way, there is no general, Dong Zhuo's army was killed in a mess, each of them either rode a horse into the dense forest, or abandoned the horse and threw himself into the river, but the dense forest trees are deep, and he can't see far at night, and he breaks in on a horse, which is really a life of nine deaths, and the person who throws into the river is even more unlucky, not to mention the turbulent flow of the Yellow River, and the people of Liangzhou who are not water-aware are even more likely to be nine times out of ten.
Dong Zhuo's army is like a string of firecrackers, and Lu Xiaoshu is that little spark, and everywhere it burns is powder, and the five hundred cavalry follow Lu Xiaoshu closely and harvest people's heads.
Dong Zhuo's army was annihilated one by one, the sound of wailing and shouting resounded in the night sky, and there were torches scattered on the ground, igniting the dense forest on his side, it was August, the weather was dry, and the fire spread all the way. Lu Xiaoshu chased and killed all the way, killing more than 10,000 people, until he saw the open terrain in front of him, and then he withdrew his troops.
Dong Zhuo suffered a defeat and did not dare to rush into the army again, and led the army to be stationed at the foot of Bishan Mountain in the western suburbs of Luoyang.
Ding Yuan's army was going to follow Yuan Shao and others into Beibi Mountain to patrol the mountains, but when they saw the colorful arrows in the southwest of the foot of the mountain rising into the air, it was the signal agreed with Lu Xiaoshu, and sending this signal meant finding the whereabouts of the emperor. The crowd hurriedly remained silent, turned back their horses, and headed for the way they came. Halfway through, Ding Yuan met Xu Huang escorting the emperor and ministers back to the palace, and asked Lu Xiaoshu to bring only a few hundred people to intercept Dong Zhuo's army, and he was anxious, so he hurriedly asked him to lead the troops to meet him, and he led the troops to escort the emperor back to the palace.
Lu Xiaoshu broke Dong Zhuo's mountain pass in the north, forcing him to retreat to the wide area of the southwest suburbs, so he led his troops all the way back, and met Xu Huang who came to meet him, Xu Huang saw that he only blocked the enemy with 500 troops, not only repelled Dong Zhuo, but also had no casualties, and respected him as a heavenly man in his heart for a while.
The army returned to the city overnight, cleaned up the city defense, Ding Yuan got the emperor's warrant, took over the palace guards, Gao Shun marched day and night, and also rushed to Luoyang around the time, so Luoyang had the original cavalry general He Miao's 30,000 forbidden army, 50,000 and state army, and more than 10,000 cavalry of various departments, and the strength reached 100,000! For a while, it was solid.
Early the next morning, the emperor issued an edict, Feng Ding was originally a hussar general, Zhu Jun was a lieutenant, Lu Zhi was Situ, Yang Biao was Sikong, and four people were in charge of the emperor's government affairs. He also ordered Lu Xiaoshu to lead the forbidden army of the imperial city for the ruling Jinwu and be responsible for the defense of the palace.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others went into Beibi Mountain overnight to inspect, found nothing, and when they came back, they found that the four gates of Luoyang City were closed, and the city tower was heavily defended.
On the same day, the emperor rewarded the ministers who had made meritorious contributions to the eradication of eunuchs, Feng Hu Ben Zhonglang will Yuan Shao be the Bohai Taishou, Yuan Shu, who is also the Hu Ben Zhonglang general, will be the Nanyang Taishou, Wang Kuang, the former general's commander, will be the Lingling Taishou, Dong Zhuo will be the state pastor, and the Liangzhou soldiers and horses in his hands will be handed over to Huangpu Song to control them.
How could Dong Zhuo and others agree, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were angry and went to their hometown in Jizhou to farm, but Dong Zhuo refused to hand over the military power, and threatened that the emperor was coerced by Ding Yuan and others, and was already a caged bird. claimed to bring troops into the palace to clear the king's side.
Three days later, Dong Zhuo raised troops on the sunset slope in the western suburbs of Luoyang, and Liangzhou and Yongzhou successively followed, and Dong Zhuo had 200,000 troops and looked at Luoyang.
For a while, the people in Luoyang City were panicked, and there were rumors inside and outside the imperial city.
On the same day, Shangshu Province held a meeting, and all the ministers advocated that the emperor announced to the world and ordered the princes to be Qinwang. was sternly rejected by Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan said: "Dong Zhuo's rebellion, but in the land of two states, if the princes are allowed to raise the king's banner and raise troops to come, but Dong Zhuo is destroyed, who can guarantee that no one else will have different intentions?" If the cycle goes on and on, won't my big man have no peace forever? ”
All the ministers were shocked, and they all said that they were reasonable. In the end, the emperor approved the Shangshu Provincial Proposal, Feng Ding was originally a general, and Zhu Jun was a hussar general, leading the emperor's scepter to crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo.
Everyone else is busy with a pot of porridge, Lu Xiaoshu has been very idle these days, and now he is only responsible for the security and defense of the palace, commuting to and from work on time every day, and he is very comfortable.
