Chapter 336: Meet Jia Xu Again
These dead people, either the enemy's soldiers and horses, or their own soldiers and horses, this situation is constantly pressing, and Wen Han has gradually become numb. But numbness doesn't mean Wen Han isn't heartbroken. It's just that Wen Han understands a truth, if you want to end this situation, the only way is to have stability in the world and the end of troubled times. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people are still dying in the flames of war every day.
However, now that the world is stable, the end of the troubled times seems to be far away.
After Wen Han captured Tongguan, he seized every minute and every second to prepare for a more intense and even tragic battle in the future. Dong Zhuo knew that Tongguan was lost, and he would inevitably send a large army to attack, and the number of soldiers and horses in this army must be enough to make Wen Han's heart tremble. Moreover, Wen Han cut off the back road, and the offensive of these soldiers and horses was absolutely crazy and furious.
In order to defend Tongguan, buy time for the righteous master to break through Luoyang and prevent Dong Zhuo from moving the capital. Wen Han tried almost every means to prepare. He ordered his soldiers to cut down the surrounding trees, and then smashed the rocks around the mountains to collect them. In Tongguan, there are many arrows hidden, more than 100,000. Although Wen Han knew that this amount was far from enough, he couldn't complain about it now, so he had to collect as much as possible to collect the defensive things such as rolling logs and boulders to supplement them.
At the same time, in the process of smashing rocks and taking stones, Wen Han had a shocking discovery that made him ecstatic. Many soldiers actually smashed out the sulfur mine!!
Sulfur is a low-toxicity dangerous chemical, but its steam and sulfur dioxide produced after sulfur combustion is highly toxic to the human body!
Moreover, it can be absorbed through the nasal cavity and skin of the human body. Excess sulfur enters the human intestines, and most of it is rapidly oxidized into non-toxic thiogenates, which are then excreted through the kidneys and intestines. However, the free hydrogen sulfide that has not been oxidized has a toxic effect on the body, and once the sulfur is inhaled too much, dizziness, fatigue and vomiting will occur.
Wen Han held two sulfur mines in both hands, and the expression in his eyes was complicated, with joy and unbearability, but when he saw the soldiers around him, and thought of the hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people who died because of Dong Zhuo's successful relocation of the capital, he finally made up his mind. These soldiers were ordered to collect these sulphur mines in large quantities.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo had already let the first wave of hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people leave Luoyang and rush to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo has made preparations for moving the capital, and wants to move all the people of Luoyang away in the next three days, and finally leave in the hostage of Emperor Han Xian and hundreds of officials in the imperial court.
In Luoyang, in the pavilion of Xiangguo's mansion.
"Wen You, have you collected all the cultural relics and jewels that can be taken away in Luoyang?"
Dong Zhuo was playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand, and around him there were almost piles of green jade and gold objects, which were all treasures he had forcibly snatched from the Luoyang Palace.
"Lord Bing, I have made several rounds in the palace, and I have taken all the treasures that can be taken away. It's a pity that there are still many huge treasures that are difficult to take away. I had to cheapen the group of thieves. ”
"Hmph. Cheap them? Wen You rest assured that they can't get a single thread in Luoyang City. After three days, all the people of Luoyang moved out. I will let people burn Luoyang to the light! They tried their best, but in the end, they just got a dead city with no people and no things!! ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes instantly burst into a gloomy light, Li Ru was terrified when he listened, and secretly said that if Dong Zhuo really set fire to Luoyang, then he would definitely be spurned by future generations and become a sinner for thousands of years!
"Lord, is this burning of Luoyang possible?!
Li Ru swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in a row, and opened his mouth to dissuade Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo stood up, his eyes burst out with monstrous hatred, and he said viciously.
"This matter is non-negotiable!! This group of thieves forced Benxiangguo to move the capital, and Benxiangguo wanted to eat its flesh and drink its blood, how could he leave these treasures to them! What this prime minister can't get, no one can think of getting it!!
Hum Hum!! I want to see when this group of thieves sees the horror of Luoyang City after the fire! ”
Li Ru closed his eyes in grief, he could willingly poison Emperor Han Shaodi and Empress Dowager He for Dong Zhuo, because it was beneficial to Dong Zhuo's overall situation. But burning Luoyang will not only bring Dong Zhuo an immortal reputation, but also arouse the anger of people all over the world. It can be said that Dong Zhuo is doing more harm than benefit.
It's just that Dong Zhuo is now devoured by hatred and can't listen to his advice.
"Report~! Report~!!! ”
Not long after Dong Zhuo's crazy roar fell, a panicked and hurried voice came from outside the pavilion. Dong Zhuo frowned, and then saw the guards in his mansion running outside the pavilion door with a Liangzhou soldier who was untidy, covered in blood, and even embarrassed.
"In the Xiangguo Mansion, what kind of system is it to be so panicked! What the hell is going on, come quickly!! ”
The Liangzhou soldier covered in blood, hearing Dong Zhuo's loud shouts, his face was full of horror and fear, but he knew that if he concealed it and didn't report it, after the matter was revealed, not only himself, but even his family members in Liangzhou would not escape death!
"Xiangxiang ~ Xiangguo-sama! Tongguan was attacked three days ago, and the two generals Wang Fang and Li Meng were killed. Tongguan is lost!! ”
In Dong Zhuo's mind, there was a bang, as if a huge thunderbolt had suddenly fallen.
Dong Zhuo's face was shocked at first, then it was incredulous, and then there was a mad surge of rage.
"What!! Thou shalt say it again!! What happened to Tongguan!!! ”
Dong Zhuo's roar reverberated throughout the Xiangguo Mansion, and even the Liangzhou team patrolling outside could clearly feel Dong Zhuo's endless anger.
"Lose it!!"
The soldier was so frightened that his tongue was knotted, and he wanted to put his head on the ground.
With a snort, Dong Zhuo pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, as if an angry bull wanted to kill this soldier.
"Wait, Lord!! This soldier can't be killed!! We don't know yet!!! ”
Halfway through Li Ru's words, as soon as his eyes opened, he saw a pool of blood flying out, and then a head rolled to the ground.
Dong Zhuo's fat body was violently shaking, and he didn't even understand his hatred, and he slashed at the corpse of this soldier with a knife, and suddenly there was a splash of flesh and blood, and the sound of brushing blades made Li Ru's heart palpitate.
"Damn!! Damn it!!!!! ”
After Dong Zhuo slashed the corpse into meat sauce, he rushed out in a few steps, stepped on the head of the person, and trampled it violently.
A flame that seemed to be able to burn the sky out of the sky spread from Xiangguo Mansion in an instant, and soon enveloped the entire Luoyang City. The people of Luoyang who have not yet moved away, including the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government, who heard Dong Zhuo's roar, couldn't help but tremble with fright, lest Dong Zhuo would kill again!
"Tongguan is lost!! How did the prime minister move the capital, how did he move the capital!!! ”
Dong Zhuo picked up two pieces of jade again and smashed them to the ground, a piece of jade and gold in the pavilion, and countless priceless treasures were smashed by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo has been crazy for half an hour, but his anger has not weakened slightly. It can be seen that the loss of Tongguan hit him very hard.
"Uncle! Father-in-law!!! Don't mess up at this time!! Can't mess around!! Now the Kei Pass has not been broken by Yuan Shao, and although Cao Cao has captured the Tiger Prison Pass, there are still Wen Hou who led 30,000 Liangzhou sons to fight with him a hundred miles away from Luoyang. So, we still have time to recapture Tongguan! The relocation of the capital was carried out!! ”
Listening to Li Ru's roar, Dong Zhuo stopped suddenly, his evil eyes were blood-red, like a demonic ghost who had lost his mind and looked at Li Ru.
"But this time is already urgent, and the war is ever-changing, Cao Cao may come to Luoyang City at any time! How much time do we have to recapture this Tongguan!! ”
"Five days, if it is within five days, this Tongguan can be recaptured. This relocation of the capital will still be in time. We can only take half of the people of Luoyang, and let the rest fend for themselves! ”
"Recapture Tongguan !? in five days"
Dong Zhuo narrowed his blood-red eyes, his body tightened, and the fat in his whole body seemed to be shrinking.
"Is this possible?! The danger of Tongguan is not inferior to the world's first dangerous pass! ”
"My lord, although I don't know where I leaked the news that we want to move the capital. But if my guess is right, there will not be many soldiers and horses attacking Tongguan. At most, about 10,000 people. If we send an army of 50,000 and give them a military order before we set out, and let them fight against the water, five days will be more than enough! ”
Dong Zhuo exhaled a few hot breaths in succession, his eyes were constantly flashing, and finally he made up his mind and asked Li Ru coldly with a dark face.
"In this way, who does Wen You think can take this great responsibility!"
"Captain Li Qike can take on a big responsibility!"
"Li Xuan? He is mediocre, hasn't Wen Youru always valued him too much? ”
"Li Xuan is indeed mediocre, but Xiangguo forgot that his subordinate army Sima Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe has ten times more intelligence than me!"
"Oh. If it weren't for Wen You's reminder, Ben Xiangguo would have almost looked at this person. Unexpectedly, this Jia Xu is so admired by Wen You, and his intelligence must not be low. Okay, according to Wen You's words, Wen You, you will go down to pass the Xiangguo password, and from now on, send Li to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, and all those who go out of the army must make a military order, and within five days, if they can't capture Tongguan, they will all look up and see!! ”
"Confucian, take orders!"
Li Ru bowed his hand, and after receiving the order from Dong Zhuo, he turned around and left quickly.
That night, there was a surge of people and horses in Luoyang, and soldiers and horses with cold expressions galloped out of the gate of Luoyang. These Liangzhou soldiers all have military orders, as if they have made a contract with death, and the results of the battle in these five days are related to their lives. Therefore, these soldiers and horses are all galloping with their lives, rushing towards the Tongguan area.
The 50,000 Liangzhou army, under the leadership of Li Xuan, kept walking, did not stop, rarely rested all the way, and rushed to Tongguan. Two days later, we finally arrived at the foot of Tongguan.
Li urged the troops to go down to the village, so that the army could rest first, recuperate, and prepare for tonight's battle.
In Jia Xu's account.
Li Xu and Jia Xu sat opposite each other, Li Xu's expression was as nervous and anxious as if his brows were burning, in stark contrast to Jia Xu, whose face did not have the slightest ripple and was quiet.
"Wenhe, now that we all have military orders, we have to take Tongguan. Otherwise, we will not be able to protect our heads. Please also ask Wenhe not to hide clumsily anymore, give me advice, and take this Tongguan! ”
"Tongguan is steep, and this army can unexpectedly seek Tongguan, thinking that this leading general is very good. And now that our army is overpowered, I don't think there are many soldiers and horses, and this leader is not a fool. Therefore, they will never rush to attack, but will only defend the pass.
In this case, there is nothing I can do. General Li, now that we have an army of 50,000 and all the soldiers have military orders, how can we not break the reason for fighting against the water?
Although General Li led the army to attack, I would observe the battle from the sidelines, and if there was a plan to be made, I would naturally take action. ”
Hearing that Jia Xu was willing to make a move, Li Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his originally uneasy heart calmed down.
"Really!?"
"It's my life, if I don't make a move, will I be able to wait for death?"
Jia Xu had a natural indifferent expression, Li Xu nodded heavily, and gave Jia Xu a respectful salute.
"In this way, I have thanked Wenhe here first."
But Jia Xu didn't respond, closed his eyes, and was actually closing his eyes to recuperate. And Li Xuan was lifeless, stood up, left Jia Xu's tent, and began to prepare for the night war.
