Chapter 26 Volume 1: The Western Liang Army was newly defeated, and the Empress Dowager Dong was humiliated

After Cao Cao, who was recruiting troops in the Chang'an area, received Zhuge Ming's letter, he handed over the affairs to Yuan Shao and returned to Beijing overnight. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army had already marched towards the Guanlong area, and Yuan Shao immediately ordered 10,000 recruits to march towards Xianglong County.

And Chen Lin and his entourage avoided the city of Longxian non-stop, and Hua Xiong knew that it would be difficult to catch up, so he led the army to camp ten miles away from Longxian County. The defenders of Longxian County were less than 1,000, and when they knew that the Xiliang army led more than 100,000 people to kill the generals, the Longxian County Order abandoned the city that night and ran away.

When she woke up the next day, Chen Lin's face turned blue. This dog official is really a pustule, so the group can't abandon Longxian and ignore it.

Now that the Xiliang army is eyeing outside, Chen Lin is busy repairing a letter and sending it to Luoyang, but he doesn't know that Zhuge Ming has led the army to Longxian on the way.

"Now there are less than 2,000 defenders in the city, what is the best plan for the public?" Chen Lin and Wang Yue stood on the city tower, looking at the dense army in front of them, and said to Wang Yue with a worried face.

"The cavalry of the Xiliang army is mostly cavalry, and they are not good at attacking the city, as long as we hold on, we will wait for the imperial army to come to help." Wang Yue also sighed leisurely.

With the arrival of the Xiliang army one after another, the Xiliang army camps are all around Longxian. Chen Lin looked at the other party and prepared siege equipment, so he knew that this plan was not small.

Until the fifth day, with the arrival of Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army also entered a state of preparation, and the two sides entered a small confrontation. Although the soldiers of Xiliang were brave, they had more cavalry and were not good at attacking the city, and both sides suffered large casualties. In addition to the military guarding the city, there are also temporarily recruited people. But in the end, there was a huge disparity in strength, and the defenders of Longxian County were less than 1,000 in two days.

At this time, the city wall of Longxian County was damaged, and it lived up to the past, and the soldiers brought it. The next day, the Xiliang army came to attack the city again, and Wang Yue personally stood on the city wall to supervise the battle. The bow and arrow could only temporarily suppress the enemy's siege speed, and Wang Yue kept swinging his sword to slash and kill the Xiliang soldiers who climbed the city wall.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the same place, and there was a commotion in the Xiliang army, and the siege speed of the Xiliang army was sharply reduced. Wang Yue raised his eyes and saw a Han army rushing out of the southeast and sneaking into the formation of the Xiliang army.

"Reinforcements have arrived" The cheers of the defenders on the city wall were deafening, and the army's heart was excited, looking at the retreating siege army, Wang Yue led more than 500 cavalry to chase and kill the enemy.

Dong Zhuo of the Chinese army had a gloomy face, and looked at the Xiliang army that was in chaos outside, and asked the guards, "What's the alarm?"

But when he saw a horseback general coming from a thousand armies, he saw Dong Zhuo crying and worshipping when his armor was uneven: "My lord, the former army was defeated by the reinforcements of the Han army, and now there are Han army flags everywhere, and I don't know how many are now killing the Chinese army." ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, his face changed abruptly, and he hurriedly ordered the army to retreat left and right. Jia Xu and Li Ru also looked helpless. Although it was claimed that there were 100,000 troops this time, the actual number of soldiers and horses was less than 40,000, and most of the Xiliang iron cavalry, otherwise the siege would not have lasted so long.

With Dong Zhuo's retreat, the Han army took advantage of the situation to cover up. After passing through the orderly advance and retreat of the Western Liang army, coupled with the courage of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, the Han army suffered a lot of casualties, so they stopped the pursuit and returned to the city.

In Longxian County, Chen Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw someone coming: "It turned out to be Yuan Benchu, if it weren't for you, I would have waited for a break!" ”

"Kong Zhang, don't come to harm" Yuan Shao arched his hand at Chen Lin and said, and immediately looked at Wang Yue, "I don't want General Huben to be here, Shao is rude." ”

Wang Yue hurriedly supported Yuan Shao, who was leaning over, and said: "This general was entrusted by Wuxiang Hou to send Lord Chen Lin to come, and when I visited the Dong Mansion at night, I found that this person had wolf ambitions, and he actually took the princess of the dynasty into custody. This rebel was afraid that the news would be exposed, so he took a risk. ”

"I see, Wuxiang Hou Shen is also clever," Yuan Shao said in amazement. Seeing that Chen Lin and Wang Yue were puzzled, it was only then that they told the whole story of their receipt of Wuxianghou's letter. It turned out that Zhuge Ming expected that Dong Zhuo would not obey the edict, so he repaired the book and asked Yuan Shao to send troops to meet him, just in case of accidents, and at the same time guard Longxian County to wait for him to arrive.

Wang Yue Chen Lin was amazed when he heard this, "Wu Xianghou is so old, but he can anticipate the enemy first, which is rare in ancient times, and we can't wait for it." After saying that, the three of them were all in a hurry, and after gathering in the mansion, they reorganized their own armies to fight.

Dong Zhuo, who was outside Longxian, retreated thirty miles away, and after returning to the camp to count the soldiers and horses, his face was black and blue. In a few days, the army lost more than 6,000 people, and now the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army also gave Li Rujia a headache.

In the Xiliang military camp, Dong Zhuo sat on the top. On the right is Jia Xu and Li Ru, and on the left is a column of military generals Hua Xiong, Li Xu, Guo Yan and so on.

"Who is the person who brought the Han army here, and how many soldiers and horses?" Dong Zhuo looked at the scout below and asked.

"My lord, the Han army led the troops to come, and Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili Army, led 20,000 new soldiers from the Mabu Army to help," the scout below hurriedly said.

Dong Zhuo had a headache for a while, knowing that this Longxian County would not be able to be taken for a while and a half, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses would not be able to eat it for a while and a half. Even so, Dong Zhuo still asked without giving up: "Do you have a good plan?"

There was a great deal of discussion in the tent, but no one answered. Dong Zhuo couldn't help slapping the table angrily, but his face twitched, and he forcibly endured the pain in his palm.

"Don't disturb the lord, watch the sky last night, the stars will be brighter in the direction of Luoyang, the crape myrtle is dark, if the son of heaven changes, the lord will fake the edict of the first emperor, and the second son of the emperor will be called the emperor, and the big thing can be done." Jia Xu said.

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Bowing his head and pondering, the fat on his face trembled slightly, and it was not difficult to see the excitement in his heart at this time.

"So what's going on now?" Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked.

"The lord should hold back the imperial army, and at the same time send an envoy to Bingzhou to lobby," Jia Xu said with a slight contemplation.

"Wonderful, if it is a matter of success, the Han army can't take care of each other, we can all sit back and relax"

After Dong Zhuo heard the presumptuous size, the generals in front of the tent also chimed in. Dong Zhuo's heart began to flutter for a while, so he set up a banquet under the tent, and the tent was staggered, and at the same time sent Li Ru to Bingzhou to lobby.

Drinking bitterly in front of the tent, all the generals were drunk. Dong Zhuo staggered back to the tent, but in a trance, he saw a woman sitting on the soft collapse. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel angry, there was no woman in the march, and now in a daze, Dong Zhuo rushed in without asking who it was.

The woman cried and struggled over and over again, Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he pressed the woman under him with drunkenness. Dong Zhuo groped with a sneer, and the woman struggled and called over and over again. The soldiers in the battalion seemed to have not heard of it, and each of them guarded his post.

The woman seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, forcibly endured the smell of Dong Zhuo's wine, and slowly closed her eyes. Dong Zhuo had already lost his mind, relying on his own instinct. I don't know how long it took, as Dong Zhuo trembled. The woman pushed Dong Zhuo, and the other party had already fallen asleep.

At the thought of this, the woman could not help but weep secretly. When it was dawn, Dong Zhuo woke up and found a beautiful woman lying next to him. After a closer look, it was the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but pat his head and try to recall the situation last night.

But there was a sigh, and the Empress Dowager Dong woke up. With anger and shame on his face, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be afraid, anyway, he was asleep, he was not afraid of being pressed by the debt, and the Empress Dowager Dong was shocked, it was indeed too late.
