Chapter 123: Disintegration

The Kwantung Coalition Army was preparing to attack Tiger Pass on a large scale, but a shocking news came from Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo was mad and thought that the purpose of the Kwantung Coalition Army was to regain Liu Bian's position, so he poisoned Liu Bian.

In this way, it really caused a lot of trouble for the Kwantung coalition army, and different voices fought internally.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, thought that the young emperor was dead, and there was no point in crusading against Dong Zhuo again, so they led their troops back to their own territory.

The Kwantung coalition was on the verge of falling apart, and Yuan Shao proposed to make Liu Yu the new son of heaven, thinking that it was orthodox, and confronting Dong Zhuo.

This proposal was approved by Han Fu and others, so they sent envoys to Youzhou.

After Liu Yu learned about this, he resolutely opposed it, and Yuan Shao had to give up.

At this point, the Kwantung Coalition Army existed in name only.

Soon Qiaomao borrowed food from Kong Yu on the pretext that there was no food in the army, and Kong Yu had no surplus grain and grass in the army at that time, so he refused Qiao Mao.

Qiao Mao used this as an excuse to send troops to kill Kong Yoo and annex his men.

Later, there was a mutiny in the Qiao Mao army, and Qiao Mao was killed by Liu Dai.

Yuan Shao, as the leader of the coalition, turned a blind eye to the mutual annexation of the princes.

At that time, he was just a Bohai Taishou, but he was no longer satisfied with such a small place as Bohai.

His advisor Feng Ji saw his thoughts and said to him: "With the prestige and fame of the lord, it should not be confined to a small place like the Bohai Sea, under the fence. ”

Yuan Shao sighed and said: "I also have this thought, but there is no way out. ”

"Lord, today is in danger, you should take advantage of the chaos, and if you don't take the land of a state, it is not enough to take the world." Feng Ji said.

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What is the clever plan of Mr.?" ”

"Jizhou is the granary of the world, and now Han Fu is cowardly, and virtue is not worthy, why not take it?"

Yuan Shao said with a sad face: "I also want to take Jizhou, but Han Fu has been based on Jizhou for a long time, and the soldiers are strong and strong, if things don't work out, then there will be no place for him." ”

I saw Feng Ji smile slightly, leaned close to Yuan Shao's ear and said: "Why not unite with Gongsun Zhan and make it attack Han Fu on the condition of dividing Jizhou equally, when Han Fu can't resist it, he must be afraid, let's take advantage of it and force Han Fu to abdicate, and Jizhou will fall into the hands of the lord." ”

Yuan Shao listened to Feng Ji's plan, was overjoyed, clapped his hands and laughed: "Clever plan, wonderful plan, Mr. is really talented, if I get Jizhou, I will not lose." ”

Yuan Shao had this thought, so he didn't take the crusade against Dong Zhuo to heart.

On this day, Wei Yan was reading a book in the barracks, when suddenly footsteps sounded, and Pei Yuanshao walked in and said, "Boss Wei, Master Kong asks to see you." ”

Wei Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please." ”

With that, Wei Yan got up and walked out with Pei Yuanshao, and went out to greet him in person.

This Kong Rong is not an ordinary person, he is a descendant of a fearful saint, a heirloom of poetry and books, and he is very prestigious among Shilin.

"Why did you have to come to me today, sir? Come in. As soon as Wei Yan walked out of the tent, he saw Kong Rong and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Wu Anguo also followed behind Kong Rong, and Wei Yanli let them enter the camp tent and asked Pei Yuanshao to prepare the banquet.

Wei Yan was so enthusiastic, which made Kong Rong very useful, he smiled and said: "Elder Brother Wen, don't be so troublesome, I Rong is here to thank you for saving An Guo that day, and secondly, how about ...... It is to bid you farewell. ”

"Resignation?" Wei Yan was stunned, "Brother Wen Ju wants to go back?" ”

Kong Rong sighed and said, "This situation is ...... now It's really distressing, and it's useless to stay, and there are still many official duties in Beihai, so I really can't stay any longer. ”

"However, the Tiger Prison Pass is just around the corner, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is broken, entering Luoyang is just around the corner." Wei Yan said.

He was a little anxious, he didn't get any benefits after working for a long time, so he just left, it's a pity.

"I have received the news that the emperor has been taken hostage by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, we are still a step late......" Kong Rong closed his eyes, his face full of pain.

"Brother Wen Ju, do you have to go?" Wei Yan asked.

"Chief Wen, look at what the Kwantung Coalition has become today...... I advise you to think about the way back sooner rather than later. ”

Wei Yan shook his head and said firmly: "I won't leave, I will go to Luoyang." ”

Wei Yan not only wanted to go to Luoyang, but also to be the first to enter Luoyang City, if I remember correctly, the jade seal of the country was left in a well in the palace.

If he can get the heirloom jade seal, even if he has a little foothold, where else will he go?

Seeing Wei Yan so resolute, Kong Rong was greatly moved, and said, "Wen Chang is really a national scholar. ”

At this time, Wu Anguo, who had been following behind Kong Rong and was silent, stepped out, knelt down facing Kong Rong, and said loudly: "I am willing to stay and help Wu Tinghou to repay the grace of saving his life, and ask the adults to fulfill it!" ”

Kong Rong was pleased to help Wu Anguo up, and said with a smile: "You have this heart, and you are very comforted, and you should do your best to follow Wen Chang in the future, which can be regarded as a pity for me." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Wu Anguo said.

As soon as Kong Rong was sent away, Pei Yuanshao came again to report that Dong Zhuo had withdrawn from Luoyang and fled to Chang'an.

Before Dong Zhuo left, a fire burned Luoyang.

The prosperous ancient capital of Luoyang was destroyed in one fell swoop.

"It happened anyway." Wei Yan said helplessly.

"Boss Wei, what do you mean by that?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"Nothing! Gather the generals at once. Wei Yan commanded.

"Yes." Pei Yuanshao looked at Wei Yan's serious expression and didn't dare to delay.

"If I remember correctly, the Tiger Prison Pass at this moment is already an empty pass, and on the day Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang in history, Zhao Cen, the Tiger Prison guard, also fled, and he didn't know where to go." Wei Yan thought carefully.

"It must be as soon as possible, in history, Sun Jian was the first to enter Luoyang, and the jade seal of the country fell into his hands, and I must rush ahead of him."

Wei Yan's order was conveyed, and his five thousand soldiers and horses were quickly assembled.

The other princes who have not yet left, look at Wei Yan like fools, the Tiger Prison Pass is the Luoyang Barrier, the world's Xiongguan, with your own person, you want to fight the Tiger Prison Pass?

But no one came out to stop them, and they wished that Wei Yan would be sent to death, so as to reduce an obstacle for them.

Wei Yan's army set off on the same day, did not make any stops and rest, but directly attacked the Tiger Prison Pass.

It stands to reason that you should make a tentative attack first, and then launch a full-scale attack after knowing the strength of the other party, but Wei Yan didn't, and the others were dumbfounded, what did they remember? Wei Yan is also a young hero, how could he do such an unreliable thing?

However, even more jaw-dropping is yet to come.

When Wei Yan's soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, they found that this was already an empty pass, and the defenders had long since run out.
