Why did Guan Yu suddenly appear in Chang'an? It all started with Liu Zhang's determination to go on the Northern Expedition.

It turned out that in this Northern Expedition, the world thought that Liu Zhang was attacking in two ways, one was led by Liu Zhang himself to attract Dong Zhuo's main force, and the other was led by Wei Yan, taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's main force being pinned down by Liu Zhang to attack the empty Xiliang hinterland, but only a few people knew that Liu Zhang also arranged another surprise army! This strange army was dispatched by the Nanyang Second Field Corps to venture over the world's dangerous mountain Taihua Mountain to Tongguan, break through Tongguan and take Chang'an. It can be said that in the entire Second Field Corps, except for the corps commander Xu Huang, who is in an important position and cannot easily leave, from the deputy corps commander to the commanders of various divisions and brigades, no one is willing to give up the opportunity. In the end, Guan Yu used national hatred and personal grudges to move Xu Huang, and Guan Yu was indeed a rare handsome talent, so he was entrusted with a heavy task by Xu Huang, and Guan Yu led an army of 20,000 led by the Sixth Infantry Division to attack Tongguan.

Tongguan and Hangu Pass are known as the first of the dangers, even if the Second Field Corps is all dispatched, they will not want to break through in the short term, and once they can't fight quickly, they will give Dong Zhuo time to react, Dong Zhuo can be quickly sent by Chang'an to support, and then if he wants to break through Tongguan, he is afraid that it will be a fool's dream.

Dong Zhuo is because of the dangerous road of Kuihan, so he has never put the Nanyang Second Field Corps and Luoyang Lu Bu in his eyes, consciously stable as a rock, he repeatedly transferred troops from the front line of Cuihan, and in the end, only 3,000 veterans and 15,000 recruits were stationed, with the risk of Kuihan, even if there are only 18,000 soldiers stationed, it is not easy for any enemy to easily break through, but what Dong Zhuo never dreamed of was that Tongguan had already had Liu Zhang's internal response, and it was because of the assistance of internal response, After Guan Yu led 20,000 elite soldiers mainly from the Sixth Infantry Division to cross the dangerous Taihua Mountain at the heavy cost of more than 30 people falling off the cliff and sacrificing themselves, he could quickly capture Tongguan with a tired division without blood!

After Huaxiong surrendered to Liu Zhang, Hu Zhen was implicated and was almost killed by Dong Zhuo, although he survived, he also lost Dong Zhuo's trust and was removed from all positions.

Later, Liu Zhang planned to lay a few nails inside Dong Zhuo in order to play a surprise role when he destroyed Dong, so he thought of Hu Zhen. So Hua Xiong wrote the book, and a letter with great affection was secretly handed over to Hu Zhen, along with a large amount of gold and silver. Previously, Hu Zhen in order to save his life, all the family wealth was used up and down, although he survived, but since he was dismissed, he has lost all financial resources, at this time Hu Zhen can be said to be at a low point in life, the family is surrounded by four walls, the letter from the old boss made him sprout new hope and fighting spirit, although he also complained about Hua Xiong, but after he fell into the old comrades, they were like avoiding snakes and insects, respectful and far away, only Hua Xiong extended a helping hand, which made his complaints turn into smoke and clouds dissipated with the wind, so he agreed to put himself under Liu Zhang's command. Later, Liu Zhang sent people to send money and goods to Hu Zhen secretly, Hu Zhen used these things to bribe Niu Fu, and finally Niu Fu interceded and was reappointed, and was arranged by Dong Zhuo to follow Niu Fu to guard the front line of Kuihan.

In this battle of Tongguan, Guan Yu was ordered by Liu Zhang to activate Hu Zhen's shadow, easily attacked Tongguan, and captured Niu Fu alive.

After breaking the Tong Pass, Guan Yu ordered Hu Zhen to guard the Tong Pass, and he escorted Niu Fu to attack Chang'an.

When thousands of Xiliang "remnants" retreated to Chang'an under the leadership of Niu Fu, the defenders lured the wolf into the house without the slightest suspicion! The result can be imagined, these thousands of people quickly took control of the city gate, and after the main force entered the city, how did those recruits in Chang'an block the tiger-wolf Yizhou army?

Perhaps it was fate that Chang'an City and Yiwu fell into the hands of Liu Zhang on the same day, less than two hours apart!

Martial arts.

There was an uproar in Dong Zhuo's camp.

"Wenyou, how are the troops?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, who rushed into the big tent, and asked.

Li Ru gave a salute with the palm of his left hand against the back of his right hand, and said, "Prime Minister, the troops are ready and ready to set off at any time!" ”

Dong Zhuo: "How are the wounded soldiers?" ”

"Lord Yu, the number of war horses in the battalion is sufficient, and the light and heavy wounded can be transported away together, and it will not have much impact on the speed of the march!" Dong Zhuo's cavalry is huge, in the last two battles, Dong Zhuo used a large number of cavalry as infantry to attack the fortification, causing great losses to the cavalry, but the war horses are intact in the camp, just used to turn the wounded.

"That's good, you go and order a retreat, send someone to tell Li Le that he must not retreat until night, take away all the money of Wugong when retreating, take away all the money of Wugong when he retreats, take away the food if he can, and burn everything that can't be taken away, tell him that when he leaves, burn the entire city at the same time, Liu Zhang's thief boasts that he loves the people like a son, I don't think he can save it!" Dong Zhuo hated the way.

"Yes!" Li Ru bowed, turned around and left.

Not long after, the gate of Dong Zhuo's camp slowly opened, and 5,000 infantry took the lead out of the camp, as the vanguard of the army, and rushed towards Chang'an.

Half an hour later, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru led the main force of nearly 60,000 horses out of the camp and slowly headed for Chang'an. Don't look at the huge number of Dong Zhuo's army, but among the nearly 60,000 people, the wounded soldiers reached 40,000, half of which were almost no combat power, and the other half was about half of the combat power in peacetime, that is to say, the actual combat strength of Dong Zhuo's main force was about 30,000, if it really encountered an attack, these 30,000 people would have to allocate a large number of troops to protect the seriously wounded, and the actual strength of the enemy was even less!

An hour after Dong Zhuo left, Beigong Yan of the palace led 13,000 Qiang cavalry to burn down the camp and slowly chased after Dong Zhuo (the Weishui troops had all withdrawn to the camp before).

Liu Zhang received the news of Dong Zhuo's retreat quickly, but when the general asked for a plan, it was a group of heroes, why? Dong Zhuo's cavalry is huge, especially there are 10,000 elite Qiang cavalry, this retreat must have a strong cavalry palace, if you venture to pursue the enemy, you will be counterattacked, and the enemy of martial arts has not moved, once the tail is pursued, Li Le suddenly dispatched, cut off his own back road, Dong Zhuo returned to the army to counterattack, maybe he will be defeated into victory.

Liu Zhang is also open-minded, since he can't keep Dong Zhuo, then it's not bad to leave Li Le in Wugong City, as for Dong Zhuo, Liu Zhang believes that a tiger that has had his teeth pulled out escaped on the first day of junior high school, and he can still escape through fifteen? There is almost no place for Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong, and the tens of thousands of remnants of the army under his command will be eaten clean by him sooner or later, in this case, why rush for a while?

After making up his mind, Hua Xiong's 1st Cavalry Division went out of the city immediately after the Qiang soldiers left, blocking Li Le's retreat to Chang'an, and then Gao Shun's 1st Independent Brigade, Hou Cheng's 5th Division, and Yang Ren's 5th Brigade were ordered to assemble and stand by to attack at any time.

The soldiers guarding outside the tent entered the tent and said, "See the lord's ......."

"What?"

"My lord, there are soldiers of the Fourth Division outside the tent who ask to see my lord, and I have something to report!"

"Call in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, one of Gong Du's personal soldiers quickly entered the tent and bowed: "See the lord!" ”

"Get up!"

"Thank you, lord!" The soldiers got up, bowed their heads and said: "My lord, this morning, General Gong found that the enemy army in Weibei suddenly moved, so he sent a light boat across the river to check and control, after investigation, the enemy camp in Weibei was empty, and the enemy army had all retreated. The general then ordered the troops in Weinan to cross the Weishui and rush to the aid of the lord. General Gong was leading the army to come at this time, and the villain was specially ordered to come first to report this matter to the lord! ”

Liu Zhang was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay...... By the way, how is Gong Du's injury? ”

"My lord, General Gong's injuries have completely recovered after these days of recuperation!"

"That's good! How many people did he bring? ”

"Lord Gong, after a period of replenishment in the rear, Weinan has gathered 30,000 horses, according to the order of the Lord Gong, General Gong's Fourth Division has completed the full formation, this time General Gong personally led the Fourth Division of more than 13,000 people, and another 14,000 recruits came with the army, a total of 27,000 people!"

"Good!"

Guo Jia also said: "At this time, it is the time to employ people, with the help of these nearly 30,000 troops, Li Le can go straight to Chang'an and pacify the Dong thief in one fell swoop!" ”

Man Chong stroked his palms and said: "Gongtai is also leading the army to come, and at that time, 100,000 troops will besiege the city, and Dong Zhuo will be taught to fly with wings!" ”

And all the people in the tent shouted in unison.

Liu Jian said to Gong Du's personal soldiers: "Okay, you go down and rest first!" ”

"Yes, the villain is retired!" The soldiers saluted and walked backwards out of the tent.

More than half an hour later, the report came again from outside the tent that Gong Du led the fourth division to arrive outside the camp.

After a while, Gong Du's body seemed to be a little fatter.

Liu Zhang said: "How is the injury? ”

"My lord, the last general's injuries have been healed early, don't believe you!" Gong Du hurriedly said, in order to confirm that what he said was true, he also picked up his injured arm and shook it a few times.

"It seems to be almost good, well, yes, it seems that the rear is raising people, this person has gained weight!" Liu Zhang said with a smile.

Everyone laughed softly when they heard this.

Gong Du was a little embarrassed and said: "Those doctors are holding the lord's order arrows, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, lying on the bed every day, like raising pigs, it is strange if they are not fat!" Now the last general is still thin, and ten days ago, the last general was called fat! ”

"Haha......" The people who were originally chuckling suddenly burst into laughter when they heard Gong Du's words, and Liu Zhang's personal soldiers outside the tent listened to the laughter in the handsome tent, and were secretly curious, I don't know what kind of joy they encountered, which made the lord and the adults so happy.

After laughing, Liu Zhang said: "In this way, your fourth division is just a showman now?" ”

Gong Du hurriedly said: "Of course not, since the replenishment of troops, the last general has let the two brigade commanders practice day and night." Ten days ago, the doctor saw that the last general was injured well, and finally relented, and agreed that the last general would personally train those recruit eggs, these ten days of training made the new recruits suffer a lot, and the last general also lost more than ten pounds, although it was a little harder, but now the fourth division has formed combat effectiveness, although it is not as good as before the Northern Expedition, but it is enough to fight! ”

"Good job, let your people get ready, martial arts Li Le is still trapped in the city, and he may retreat at any time, don't give the chain to the lonely when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, my lord, if the last general embarrasses you, you will directly dig a pit and bury the last general alive!"

"Okay, it's this kind of momentum that you want, you've been busy for most of the day, go down and rest!"

"My lord, the last general is not tired at all, he has been resting for more than a month, and now the last general is a hundred times more energetic!"

"You don't rest, and your soldiers don't have to rest? Go and set your people in place, and tell the gang to treat everyone well! Well, you can't favor one over the other, and you can order it to go down, the supply line has been unblocked, so that you don't have to save on the house, get more delicious food, and let the soldiers eat back what they have lost these days! ”

"Yes!" Gong Du bowed and left the camp.

Soon, there was a strong smell of meat wafting in the camp, and the room received Liu Zhang's order, which was an open supply, and even the prisoners in the camp were each given a bowl of broth.
