Chapter 140: Raiding Hongnong
Wang Yun's thoughts caused a deep rift between Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew.
And all the generals of the Liangzhou Army became frightened birds after Dong Zhuo's death, especially Li Dao, Guo Yan and others had just led the army back from Chenliu when they heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death.
was originally a little disheartened, but later these news came, which was very difficult to reassure, especially the news that the famous scholar Cai Yong was forced to die by Wang Yun gave people a lesson from the past.
Dong Zhuo's military advisor Li Ru also came from Hongnong, and he heard that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others had already retreated, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Generals, I heard that the Chang'an Imperial Court will not pardon your crime of following Dong Zhuo, if you give up yourself, I am afraid that you will really be punished in the future, and any official of the imperial court will be able to attack you."
"In my opinion, we should fight to the death, attack Chang'an in the west, Chang'an has few soldiers, I heard that Zhang Ji has regretted helping Wang Yun kill Taishi."
"Let's attack Chang'an under the banner of avenging the Taishi, if we win, we can also control the Chang'an court, but we will lose, and then we will loot the wealth of Sanfu, and it will not be too late to return to Liangzhou!"
"And from this way to Chang'an, all the way are the old departments of our Xiliang Army, why worry about it, I'm afraid that he Wang Yun will do something?"
Li Dao and others adopted Li Ru's suggestion and agitated among his subordinates, and everyone responded.
Li Wei led his army back to Chang'an from the east, and by this time, Niu Fu had already died on the front line of the battle against the Bingzhou army.
Along the way, Dong Zhuo's old troops were willing to obey the command of Li Dao, Li Ru, and Guo Yan, passing through Mianchi, Huayin and other places, Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Fan Chou and others led their troops to join, and when they arrived at the city of Chang'an, the number of Xiliang troops was as high as more than 100,000.
Wang Yun sent Hu Zhen, Li Meng, and Wang Fang to fight, but Wang Fang was killed in battle, Hu Zhen surrendered directly, and Li Meng disappeared.
In December, after a ten-day siege, Chang'an was finally captured, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew fled, and Wang Yun refused to flee with Zhang Ji.
Wang Yun also refused the help offered by Li Su on behalf of Lü Bu, saying that as the prime minister, he could not guarantee the safety of the country, but instead led to frequent rebellions, which was his dereliction of duty, and he could not bear to abandon the emperor and flee for his life alone.
In the end, he took the emperor to climb the city tower, and the emperor asked Li Dao and Guo Yan under the city, why did they make trouble?
Li Wei replied: "Taishi Dong is loyal to His Majesty, but he was victimized by traitors, we just want to seek justice for Taishi, we dare not rebel, as long as we catch the murderer, we will surrender!" ”
In the end, Wang Yun took the initiative to go out of the city, and after Li Wei and them were caught, they were killed on the spot.
However, before Wang Yun, he told Li Su a secret, which was also a great thing that Wang Yun did before his death!
When Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he collected and sorted out all the books and archives in the two libraries of Lansheng and Shishu in Luoyang, packed them and transported them to Chang'an, and then hid them.
He collected all the classic texts, as well as all the books he later collected.
He gave Li Su the location of the book collection and the key to the library, and asked him to hand it over to Lu Bu, which even contained the royal classics, secret books, and the original manuscript of the settlement of the country's population and land, which was extremely precious, and this was probably Wang Yun's greatest contribution to the country and the nation.
Li Dao and others hijacked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and forced the emperor to make Li Dao a general of Yangwu, Guo Yan a general of Yanglie, and Fan Chou and others as Zhonglang generals.
However, at this time, the Kwantung princes were busy attacking each other, and no one cared about the changes in Chang'an, and he didn't care if Dong Zhuo died.
As Li Dao and others pacified the situation in Chang'an and gradually grasped power, the imperial court named Li Dao as a hussar general, and the title of Che Cai general was on Lu Bu, and no one dared to move.
He also gave Li Dao the right to open the mansion, and the commander was subordinate to the school captain, the false festival, and the Marquis of Chiyang, ranking above the three dukes.
Feng Guo Yan is the rear general, Guan Yang Hou, Fan Chou is the right general, Wan Nian Hou. Li Ru is Jing Zhaoyin.
escaped from Chang'an, and later re-allied with Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji was named the general of Zhendong, the Marquis of Pingyang, Zhang Xiu was the general of Fenwu, and the Taishou of Hongnong County.
Zhang Ji's troops were excluded from Chang'an.
The princes of Kwantung did not fight with Li Dao and others, but Dong Zhuo had a nephew, Dong Huang, who escaped from Chang'an and ran back to his hometown in Longxi.
The Dong clan was still very influential in Longxi County, and soon, Dong Huang raised an army.
Dong Huang sent an invitation to Han Sui and Ma Teng, the largest two-way warlords in Liangzhou, and under the banner of avenging Dong Taishi, he killed Chang'an and attacked Sanfu again.
In February 191, Dong Huang, Han Sui, and Ma Teng led more than 100,000 Liangzhou troops to attack Sanfu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, and also gathered all the troops in their hands, and there were more than 100,000 people, and fought against them.
This war can be said to be a civil war between the Liangzhou army, the two sides know each other, know the roots, and the strength of the troops is about the same, and the battle situation is quite stale.
The Bingzhou army once again launched a new round of offensive, and Lü Bu took advantage of the civil war of the Liangzhou army to send troops to Hongnong County and attack Hongnong from the two directions of Hedong County and Henan County.
Henan County is now deserted and has become a three-way zone, and no one wants to occupy this area, but in fact it is still within the sphere of influence of the Bingzhou Army.
The commander-in-chief of this attack on Hongnong was replaced by Zhang Liao, who had already been promoted to the commander of the second division.
Finally, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Lu Bu and took on the burden alone.
Zhang Liao marched into Hongnong this time, bringing six brigades. Including Cao Xing's Third Cavalry Brigade, Wei Xu's Second Brigade, and Fang Yue's Rong First Brigade.
The original commander of the Rongyi Brigade, Cheng Lian, had already succeeded Gao Shun and was promoted to the commander of the Rongyi Division, so Fang Yue on the grassland was transferred back to serve as the brigade commander of the Rongyi Brigade.
In addition to these three brigades, the remaining three brigades are all units of the Second Division, Hao Zhao's Fourth Brigade, Yu Ban's Fifth Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade, which was newly established for a year.
The brigade commander of the Sixth Brigade was recruited, and Lu Bu transferred him back from the servant army as the commander of the infantry brigade, but this kid was still unwilling.
Later, Lu Bu told him that the highest commander of the servant army is Jin Rigang, and then the brigade commander, you are still a fart! Only then did he honestly return to the state army.
Most of the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade came from the recruit training camp of the old battalion in Yunzhong, mainly the children of Tuntian and nomads, plus the soldiers selected by some local garrison brigades.
The majority of the officer corps comes from the training corps. The Shaling Military Academy has already enrolled students in the seventh phase, and Fa Zheng is studying in this seventh phase.
In the previous fourth, fifth, and sixth phases, there were 8 to 900 students graduating from each batch, and the teaching group is now full.
I am worried about how to place the seventh batch of students after graduation, and the seventh batch will be about to graduate from the exam.
After Zhang Ji killed Dong Zhuo, he had been squeezed out of power by the Xiliang Army, and was not accepted, so he could only be trapped in Hongnong County.
On weekdays, there is a shortage of soldiers and food, and Chang'an doesn't care about Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew.
Zhang Ji only had an army of 20,000 men in his hands, some of which were guarding Hanguguan and some of them were guarding Shaanxi County.
