Chapter 31: Darkness (3)
Liu Ze saw that the Bishui Pass had been broken, Yuan Kui was killed, and immediately flew pigeons to pass on the book to play Zhicai, ordered Yu Banzhen to guard Xiangping, Zang Ba supplemented him, Guan Yu went south, Zhang Fei, Le Jin, and Xu Chu each led 10,000 troops, and went to the Hushi to float in a boat, went straight to the mouth of the big river, went upstream, got off the boat in Pingyin, passed through Mengjin and Gucheng, and raided Hangu Pass. Liu Ze couldn't stop praying to the sky, hoping it was still too late.
When Lu Bu saw the coalition army coming, he led the army to challenge. Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, danced a halberd, wore a hundred flowers and Shu brocade robes, and had a pheasant feather on his head, and he was heroic and extraordinary. Yuan Shao saw Lu Bu's challenge, afraid of breaking the spirit of the coalition army, and asked, "Who can fight?" Wang Kuang's general Fang Yue said: "The young general is willing to go." Fang Yue went out of the horse, but before Sanhe, he was stabbed to death by Lu Bu's halberd. Zhang Yang's general Mu Shun came out with a spear, and Lu Bu raised a halberd in his hand and stabbed him off the horse. The army was shocked, and all of them changed color. Lu Bu showed off his might and went back and forth in front of the battle. Kong Rong's general Wu Anguo was furious, holding a chain hammer and Pegasus to fight. Lu Bu drew a halberd around it, wrapped Wu Anguo's iron chain, and cut off Wu Anguo's wrist with a halberd. Behind the princes, the generals slapped their horses out, and after a scuffle, they rescued Wu Anguo. Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, Lu Bu is invincible, you can temporarily withdraw your troops and discuss good strategies together." Capture Lu Bu, cut off Dong Thief's arm, Dong Zhuo is easy to punish. ”
Everyone was discussing, Lu Bu came to fight again, Gongsun Chan was furious, came out with a lance, and fought with Lu Bu without counting, Gongsun Chan was invincible, and left on horseback. Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, running like the wind, Fang Tian's halberd was shadowed behind Gongsun Zhan, and he was about to fall off the horse. Suddenly heard a tiger roar, a general galloped out, dancing with a double halberd, and shouted loudly: "The third surnamed slave is crazy, and your grandfather is here to meet you." "Lu Bu gave up Gongsun Zan and came to fight Dian Wei. Dian Wei's strength is infinite, although Lu Bu is brave, he does not dare to collide with Dian Wei, and only uses clever tricks to maneuver. After fighting for more than 50 times, regardless of victory or defeat, Dian Wei was sweating profusely and panting, Zhao Yun saw this, and flew out, two halberds and a gun, surrounded Lu Bu, and fought like a marquee. The princes and generals from all walks of life who watched were dumbfounded. Liu Ze slowly stepped out of the horse, held a strong bow in his hand, put on a carved arrow, and shouted to Lu Bu: "Lu Fengxian, look at the arrow!" Yuan Shu snickered. Liu Ze let go, and the arrow shot towards Lu Bu with a whistling. When Lu Bu heard the shouting, he was amazed, and when he saw the arrow flying, he swung away Dian Wei and Zhao Yun's weapons, and wanted to pick up the arrow, but he was a step too late, and the arrow hit the heart guard on the chest, shattering the heart guard, Lu Bu opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of blood, and fled in the saddle. Yuan Shao waved his hand, and the coalition soldiers and horses urged and killed Lu Bu Dazhai.
Lü Bu was injured and could not fight again, the Dong army was broken through Dazhai by the coalition army, Lü Bu was helpless, led the remnants, and retreated to the tiger prison. Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu's defeat and discussed with the generals, Li Ru said: "The tiger prison is dangerous in the world, and there are 100,000 soldiers, which can be separated from a million coalition troops. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and did not move.
Yuan Shao was worried when he saw that he could not attack for several days, and Cao Cao said: "Mo Ruo divided his troops to attack the three passes of Yique, Dagu, and Yuyuan, so as to divide Dong Zhuo's troops. Yuan Shao followed. He then ordered Yuan Shu to attack Dagu, Sun Jian to attack Yique, and Chen Deng to attack Yuyuan.
When Dong Zhuo heard about the division of the coalition army, he was worried, and said to Li Ru: "Mo Ruo led the troops to retreat to Chang'an and defended the Hangu Pass. Li Ru said: "Collect the rich households in Luoyang and move to Chang'an to enrich the three auxiliaries." Dong Zhuo laughed, Liu Bing guarded the tiger prison with 50,000 soldiers, and led his army back to Luoyang, preparing to move the capital.
Sun Jian attacked Yique Pass, passed through Yuan Shu Dazhai, Sun Jian and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai went to Yuan Shu's big tent, Yuan Shu endured his scalp to see Sun Jian, Sun Jian was on crutches at this time, and the injury did not heal. Sun Jian saw Yuan Shu, painted the ground with a stick, and said, "Dong Zhuo and I have no enmity. Today, he is stubborn and stubborn, and he braves arrows and stones to fight to the death: the upper is a thief for the country, and the lower is the private of the general's family; And the general listened to slander and did not distribute grain and grass, resulting in a great defeat of our army, how can the general be safe? Although Sun Jian was a sick tiger, Yu Wei was still there, Yuan Shu was drenched in cold sweat and couldn't speak, so he had to pull out the slanderers and cut them down. Sun Jian's anger was not stopped, and he led the army to attack Yique without mentioning.
Tiger Prison Pass is between two mountains, the situation is dangerous, if you want to attack Luoyang, you must break through. When Liu Ze heard that Dong Zhuo had retreated, and only Fan Chou led the troops when he closed it, he thought that Dong Zhuo would definitely burn the palace when he returned to Luoyang, loot the rich households, and move the capital to Chang'an. Guo Jia said: "Shi A and Ziyi only have 1,000 elite soldiers, and it is not easy to contend with them. Liu Ze said: "Shi A sneaked into Luoyang two years ago, and befriended the officers under the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, the yamen of various departments, and the spy room planted by Shi A. Guo Jia smiled: "The general intends to let Jia enter Luoyanghu? Liu Ze said: "It is precisely with this intention that Fengxiao went deep into the dangerous place and was uneasy. Guo Jia said with a smile: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Jia is the national plan, how dare you spare your life?" The corners of Liu Ze's eyes were moist, and he held Guo Jia's hand and said: "Fengxiao is careful about everything, let Zilong lead a thousand elite soldiers to accompany him, and protect Fengxiao thoroughly." Guo Jia smiled: "Three hundred is enough." "How Liu Ze was willing, Guo Jia had no choice but to agree.
Liu Ze called Zhao Yun and told him carefully, Zhao Yun has always been bold and careful, when he heard that he was going to enter Luoyang, he was overjoyed, he personally selected the elite, changed into regular clothes, and Guo Jia crossed the mountains and mountains, and quietly marched to Luoyang.
Guo Jia and Zhao Yun came to the south of Luoyang City and found Liu Song, Liu Song received a message from Liu Ze, and had already prepared to settle 1,000 people separately, and took Guo Jia and Zhao Yun into the city to see Shi A and Tai Shici. At this time, Dong Zhuo was dispatching troops to drive away the rich families, and Luoyang City was in chaos. Liu Song was familiar with the road and found Shi Ah Tai Shi Ci, Shi Ah and Tai Shi Ci were surprised when they saw Guo Jia and Zhao Yun coming. They know Guo Jia's intelligence, and the lord is a right-hand man, and when he comes at this time, there must be something important.
Guo Jia didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Dong Zhuo saw that the coalition forces of the princes divided their troops to attack the dangerous passes around Luoyang, and he was afraid that Luoyang City would be broken soon, so he would definitely lead troops back to Chang'an and coerce the Son of Heaven to move the capital. The state pastor was worried that Dong Zhuo would go against the grain, burn the palace, loot hundreds of officials, and cause Luoyang to be ruined, so he asked Jia Juzhong to command and try his best to resist Dong Zhuo's atrocities. Shi Ah and Tai Shi Ci said: "Everything is only filial piety." Guo Jia said: "Without further ado, our forces in Luoyang City, please make it clear." Shi A said: "The original eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan belongs to Dong Zhuo, middle and lower officers, Ah has made friends with dozens of people, and he is very disdainful of Dong Zhuo's atrocities, and there are about more than 10,000 cronies and soldiers in the hands of these dozens of people. The original He Jin, He Miao, and Ding Yuan, Ah Yi made friends with more than ten people, and more than 3,000 people could be trusted to do so. The yamen of all ministries are full of miscellaneous servants, and their combat effectiveness is worrying. Guo Jia didn't expect to be able to add more than 10,000 people, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and asked: "Did the people close to Dong Zhuo's thieves know about it?" "The first person who is close to him is Li Ru, Li Ru is worried, he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, this person is full of wisdom and ruthlessness, and Dong Zhuo is his heart. Others: Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Xu Rong, Niu Fu, etc., because Dong thieves do not count money and reward excessively, they are all convinced by Dong thieves. Guo Jia nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "Shi'a, can you see the officers you have befriended?" "At this time, Luoyang is in chaos, and it is easy to see each other. I don't know when? "It's dusk." Shi Ah nodded and went out.
For the sake of prudence, Guo Jia, under the escort of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, met more than 40 officers in a hotel. When the shopkeeper saw so many officers coming, he was sincerely afraid, and the officers showed evil looks and ordered the shopkeeper to close the door and only entertain them, did the shopkeeper dare not agree? Shi A arranged his subordinates to accompany Guo Jia to the hall. Guo Jia looked at the roster handed over by Shi A, and said to everyone: "Dong Zhuo is unkind, going against the sky, the people of Luoyang are like frying on fire, you are well aware of the righteousness, and I would like to thank you on behalf of my lord." The loyal officers were all low-level, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and a young officer said: "I don't know who the master is in the mouth of the gentleman?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Liu Ze and Liu Rundong are now Jizhou Mu. ”
