Chapter 31: Darkness (4)
A group of people immediately bombed the camp, Liu Ze's name was unknown to others, how could these officers not know. Shi A said loudly: "Quiet, listen to what Mr. Guo says?" "Shi Ah has a very high prestige in the minds of these people, Shi Ah has always been generous, and there are not many people here who have not been taken care of by Shi A, and when Shi Ah said it, he was silent. Guo Jia said: "Now that Luoyang is in turmoil, Dong thief coerced the Son of Heaven and forced the minister, such a big rebellion, sooner or later he will be defeated." My lord has the heart to get rid of this great evil, but I don't know how you can help? "Everyone is an angry young family, and they only got together when they had opinions about Dong Zhuo, how could they have other ideas, and they all expressed their support when they heard the words. Guo Jia said: "I wonder if you can gather your cronies together tomorrow night and exchange money in Luoyang City?" "Dong Zhuo's army has always had strict military discipline, it seems that it is a little more convenient for me to wait out, but it is not easy for ordinary sergeants to come out." "Such a trivial matter cannot be difficult for you. Shi Ah opened a large box full of money. Guo Jia said: "Everyone divided, bribed Shangguan, let his brothers go out of the city, and obeyed General Ziyi's arrangement." The officer who spoke just now said: "The Dong army is constantly patrolling, it is easy to get out of the city, but it is difficult to gather. Guo Jia glanced at the man and said, "This general is right, thirty miles east of the city, there are hills and dense forests, which can be used by everyone to take shelter temporarily. After taking the money, the crowd dispersed.
Guo Jia returned to the place arranged by Shi A and said: "Ziyi, prepare a lot of fire oil bows and arrows, rush to the outside of the city tomorrow night, set off overnight, rush to the tiger prison, cooperate with the coalition army, and break through this pass." Jia Feige sent a letter to the general and made arrangements early. Tai Shi Ci went as ordered. Guo Jia said: "General Shi A, send someone to keep an eye on Li Ru, and when the time comes, assassinate him." Shi Ah nodded in agreement. Guo Jia was busy with all this, exhausted, and went to bed early.
The coalition army implemented fatigue tactics and attacked the Tiger Prison Pass in turns, Fan Chou was really worried, I don't know how the Lord Lord's side was prepared, and the Tiger Prison Pass would not last for a few days. Fan Chou beat his spirits, inspected the camp, and boosted morale.
Liu Ze received a letter from Guo Jia, came to see Yuan Shao, and said: "Ze has an internal response, and the tiger prison can be broken tonight." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Rundong is in Jizhou, how can Luoyang have internal responses?" Liu Zexin said, grandma drop, can I make it clear to you? At the moment, he said: "Dong thief perversely, there is no loyalty in the city." "Yuan Shao secretly thought, the fourth generation and third prince of Lao Tzu's family, Luoyang has been in business for many years, why don't you contact me? said at the moment: "I'm afraid it's Dong Thief's plan, Rundong can't be gullible." Liu Ze had no choice but to withdraw, Cao Cao caught up from the side and said, "Don't worry about Rundong, Cao will join forces with Rundong tonight to attack the city." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Meng De helps me, and it will be a great deal." He was stubborn at the beginning and did not listen to good advice. Cao Cao smiled: "As the leader of the alliance, he should not be in contact with the beginning, but with Rundong, mmmm...."Cao Cao smiled and handed over an ambiguous look, Liu Ze realized, and said: "If it is not Meng Deyan, Ze does not understand." The two laughed and discussed the matter of sending troops.
In the dense forest thirty miles outside Luoyang City, Tai Shici looked at the eight thousand soldiers in front of him and said, "Roll up the flag and light armor, and go straight to the tiger prison." "Tiger Prison Pass is more than 50 miles away from Luoyang, and from this location, it will arrive in an hour. Tai Shi Ci looked at the towering wall and ordered everyone to make rockets and throw some of the oil into the gate. The defenders of Tiger Prison never dreamed that a large army would come from the rear. Seeing that the preparations were completed, Tai Shi Ci shouted, and the eight thousand soldiers lit the arrows and shot towards the city head, and the fire oil ignited the city gate, and the small number of guards at the city head panicked and quickly reported to Fan Chou. Fan Chou was shocked and dispatched troops to help. Suddenly, the drums of war in front of the pass were heard, and the coalition forces began to attack the city. The tiger prison fought on both sides, and Fan Chou was anxious.
The gate behind the pass was quickly burned down, and Tai Shici ordered a thousand soldiers to shoot arrows to suppress the defenders of the city, and personally led 7,000 men and horses to kill the pass. Fan Chou's army was tired, Taishi Ci was brave, and Dong Zhuo's army was defeated and retreated. Tai Shici led more than 1,000 people, assaulted to the front gate, killed the guards, opened the gate, and Dian Wei, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun led tens of thousands of horses to rush in. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Fan Chou led his own soldiers to break through at the risk of death. Dian Wei led 20,000 cavalry and chased after him, Fan Chou was as anxious as a lost dog, leading dozens of people to flee to Luoyang.
Cao Cao and Liu Ze led their troops to the outside of Luoyang City. Seeing this, Yuan Shao hurriedly urged the coalition forces to camp outside Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo didn't expect the Tiger Prison Pass to be breached so quickly, and ordered the army to march to Chang'an and set fire to the city. Dong Zhuo led the troops first, and let Zhang Ji and Fan Chou lead the troops to break off. Dong Zhuo's army drove away the people and ministers, carried a huge amount of treasures, and headed towards Hangu Pass. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou arranged for the soldiers to set fires, and they led their own soldiers to withdraw first.
The soldiers who set the fire, led by the chief and the hundred chiefs, held torches and wanted to set fire everywhere. Several arrows suddenly came out of the darkness, and the accuracy was incomparable, and a small team of centaurs finished playing at once. In the darkness, the figure swayed, running towards the place where there was firelight. Guo Jia asked Shi A to separate more than 1,000 special soldiers, plus the manpower gathered by Liu Song, to become a firefighter, killing Dong Zhuo's soldiers who set fires everywhere. There was always something that could not be cared for by thousands of men, but the flames were extinguished by the poor people who were fortunate not to be driven away. Liu Ze saw that there was a fire in the city, and ordered the army to attack the city, where were there soldiers on the wall of Dong Zhuo's army, and the army broke open the city gate and rushed into the city. Yuan Shao saw that Liu Ze was leading everywhere, and the boss was dissatisfied in his heart, so he also commanded the soldiers and horses to enter the city. A large group of soldiers and horses entered the city and quickly killed the stranded Dong Zhuo soldiers. Liu Ze looked at Luoyang City, which was still intact, and sighed in his heart. In the direction of the palace, Guo Jia made a key arrangement, and the palace room was well preserved.
The guards of Yique, Dagu, and Yuyuan saw that Dong Zhuo's army retreated, and the resistance was unintentional, the gate was broken, and the leaders of Yuan Shu, Chen Deng, and Sun Jian also came to Luoyang. Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, Dong thieves are robbing the people and are slow to act, so you should send a large army as soon as possible to save the emperor." Yuan Shao held a feast at this time, and the princes saw Dong Zhuo retreating to Chang'an, drinking and having fun. Yuan Shao held up a beautiful jade and showed off to Cao Cao, "Come on, Meng De, how about this beautiful jade?" Whether it can be made into a seal. "Who is Cao Cao, what does Yuan Shao's actions represent, can you not understand? I couldn't help but feel evil, and pointed to the people who were drinking and having fun, and shouted: "The princes have come for the righteousness, like today's son is covered in dust, trapped in the hands of thieves, and does not know how to rescue, but he drinks high, how is it different from beasts?" The shaft is not enough and the plot is also!! After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and walked out, picked up his army and Liu Ze to merge together, and chased Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Ji and Fan Chou saw that the arson soldiers were being chased and killed, and when they saw that there were only a few more people, how could they break off? Hurry up Pegasus and inform Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was helpless, so he asked Lu Bu to lead 50,000 steps to ride and break off with Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. Li Ru said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou go slowly, listen to me." Lu Bu felt okay about Li Ru, so he immediately stood up and asked, "I don't know why the military advisor told me?" Li Ru said: "There is a high hill in the west of Shanglin Yuan, the forest is dense and deep, Wen Hou can ambush the soldiers there, wait for the chasing soldiers, and kill them." Lu Bu said, "Okay." "Turn around and walk away. Li Ru watched Lu Bu leap away, looked at the long flow of people, sighed, and went to chase Dong Zhuo. At this moment, several screams came from behind, Li Ru wanted to bow down, it was too late, and several arrows were stuck in Li Ru's back.
