Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Alliance of Heroes Sun Jian was frustrated
After the alliance ceremony, Cao Cao and other leaders of the rebel army supported Yuan Shao to enter the big tent, and everyone helped Yuan Shao to sit down in the tent, and the two sides sat down according to the age of the title. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Bei stood behind Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao looked up and saw that the three of them were extraordinary, and felt familiar, so he asked, "Who is behind Gongsun Taishou?" ”
Gongsun Zhan replied: "This is my brother who has been in the same room since childhood, a relative of the Han family, and Liu Xuande of the Plains. ”
Cao Cao said: "Could it be that Liu Xuande broke the yellow scarf? ”
Gongsun Chan replied: "Exactly. He immediately instructed Liu Xuande to meet Cao Cao and the leaders of the rebels.
Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Since it is the Han clan, take a seat." Then he ordered to put the seats at the end, and then let Liu Bei sit down. Liu Bei expressed his gratitude.
Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Bei and said, "I don't respect your position, but your imperial family." ”
When Liu Bei heard Yuan Shao's words, he was not angry, and sat at the end as instructed, with Guan and Zhang forking hands standing behind him.
Cao Cao toasted a few times, and then said: "Since the leader of the alliance has been established today, everyone should obey the dispatch and fight against Dong Thief together and support Sheji together." ”
Yuan Shao said: "Although I don't have much talent, since I have been elected as the leader of the alliance, I will inevitably be: meritorious service will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished." As the saying goes: the state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Please abide by it consciously and do not violate it. ”
Everyone said in unison: "You must obey the dispatch." ”
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other 17th Route Righteous Army will be sour jujube, change the previous situation of fighting separately and alone, and elect Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance to concentrate on action. This news was sent back to Dong Table by the fine work and the secret agent.
Dong Table was shocked, it was scattered before, Dong Table could not be afraid, but now it is together, and the momentum is huge. Just at this time, Dong Bei found a secret letter written by Yuan Shao to Wu Qiong, asking Wu Qiong to respond when the rebels arrived.
Dong Bei was furious and sent someone to kill all the three clans of Wu Qiong's family.
Shangshu Zhou Mi persuaded each other, saying: "This may be Yuan Shaoxing's counter-plot, please don't kill the innocent in vain." ”
Dong Table said angrily: "When I first entered the court, you two persuaded me to use more wise men and celebrities, and recommended these anti-thieves to me. I believe in you, and put all these people in official positions, and these people, after they have obtained official positions, are now raising troops against me. Say, "Did you two betray me?" Now that I have received a secret letter from Wu Qiong that he collaborated with the enemy, you still come to persuade me, do you think I am easy to deceive! ”
So he beheaded Wu Qiong and Zhou Mi, and punished the three clans. Again troops were dispatched from the annexed states to support. In view of Yuan Shao's possible division of troops, Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen, and Li Xun were dispatched to guard Guangcheng Pass. Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, and Fan Chou guarded the tiger prison. Li Su guarded Xuanyuan Pass. Block the enemy outside Luoyang. Dong Table is in the middle of the plan.
At this time, another bad news came, Yang Feng, Han Xian and others of the Yellow Turban Yu Dang, who had already recruited An, heard that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had an alliance with sour dates, attacked Dong Table, rebelled again, and reunited in the Baibo Valley of the West River, and named it: "Baibo Army" claimed to be more than 100,000 people, and led the troops to break through Hedong.
Dong Zhuo hurriedly sent Zhonglang to send Niu Fu to conquer, but he was defeated.
Dong Table was shocked and sent Guo Yan to support again. In the face of the enemy on all sides, coupled with the rebellion of various states and counties, all the tribute grain was cut off, Luoyang's grain was in crisis, and prices rose wildly.
Dong Table brought Jia Yu, Li Ru and others to negotiate. Jia Yu used to be a small official in front of Dong Table, and Li Ru was a fellow villager of Dong Table.
Li Ru said: "Although Luoyang is surrounded by mountains on all sides and the terrain is dangerous, there is a shortage of food and it cannot be defended for a long time. ”
Jia Yu said with a smile: "Recently, the nursery rhyme in the street market: 'There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east.'" When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. ”
Dong Table listened and laughed. Convene the ministers to discuss the relocation of the capital to Chang'an. Situ Huangwan and Yang Biao argued on the basis of reason, and Dong Table was furious and threatened: "If anyone opposes, Yuan Shao will be convicted of the same party." Yang Biao and Huang Wan were frightened, and hurriedly said to Dong Zhuo: "The villain is nostalgic, not trying to obstruct state affairs, please don't condemn it." ”
Seeing that Yang Biao and Huang Wan were soft, Dong Zhuobiao added Yang Biao and Huang Wan as doctors of Guanglu and moved the Son of Heaven to Chang'an, the western capital. Send people to kill the Hongnong King Liu Wei and the Empress Dowager He.
Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance and read out the covenant. Yuan Shao said: "Dong Table has increased the number of troops in the Tiger Prison Pass and Guangcheng Pass. Zhou Mi and Wu Qiong were killed, and the three clans were punished. ”
Yuan Shao summoned the leaders of the Seventeenth Route Rebel Army and said impassionedly: "Dong Table's crime of mutilating Zhou Mi and Wu Qiong was announced, and the military arrangements of Shuanghe and the division of troops to handle Tiger Prison Pass and Guangcheng Pass should be made to work together to eliminate the thief." "Then assign the marching combat tasks of the leaders of the various routes.
Yuan Shao said: "Luoyang is a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are two feasible ways to go to Luoyang, but there are two passes on the two roads: Tiger Prison Pass and Guangcheng Pass. At present, the two passes are guarded by Li Xuan and Hua Xiong respectively. We must also attack from two fronts in order to do our best. ”
After discussion, Yuan Shao announced: "Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan and myself, a total of eight people, went to Tiger Prison Pass to meet the enemy. My brother Yuan Shu was the governor of grain and grass, and he dealt with the battalions, and Cao Cao led the army back and forth to rescue him. The remaining seven roads waved their troops into Guangchengguan. ”
According to Yuan Shao's platoon, the princes divided their troops to attack Tiger Prison Pass and Guangcheng Pass.
In the road of Guangchengguan, Sun Jian was the most brave and volunteered to be a pioneer, and the rest of the people followed, and everyone agreed. Sun Jian reorganized his troops and horses, led his four generals to attack Guangcheng Pass, and went down to the village ten miles before the pass.
The next day, Sun Jian took four people to challenge in front of the pass, these four people are, right Beiping, surnamed Cheng, name Pu, the word Demou, make an iron spine snake spear; Lingling people, surnamed Huang, name cover, the word is public, and he is good at making an iron whip; Liaoxi people, surnamed Han, famous, and righteous in words, make a big knife impervious; Wujun Fuchun people, surnamed Zu, Mingmao, the word Darong, two double knives are terrifying. Sun Jian himself was dressed in rotten silver armor, his head was wrapped in a red curtain, an ancient ingot knife hung from his waist, and he rode a flower-maned horse. led the crowd to the front of the pass, and commanded the soldiers to scold at the pass: "Help the evil horseman, why not descend early!" ”
The general guarding the pass, Li Xuan, was originally a fierce general in Xiliang, and he was usually arrogant, how to endure this breath, and was about to lead the troops to battle, and the deputy general Hu Zhen stepped forward and said: "Kill chickens with a knife, and the young general is willing to go to meet the enemy." Li urged to promise.
This Hu Zhen is also a brave general of Xiliang, although he is a little worse than Li Xuan, he usually has his eyes above the top, and he does not take Sun Jian and others in his eyes. After getting permission from Li Xuan, he took his headquarters to ride out of the customs with 3,000 steps to meet the battle. Cheng Pu saw it, Pegasus raised his spear and took Hu Zhen directly. The two fought fiercely for 100 rounds. Seeing that it was difficult to win for a while, he turned the horse's head and left. Hu Zhen thought that Cheng Pu was invincible, and chased after him, this side Cheng Pu was good at shooting since he was a child, and he had already prepared, and turned around with an arrow, Hu Zhen couldn't dodge, and was in the right arm. Hu Zhen panicked and turned around to escape. At this moment, Cheng Pu's long grass was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, stabbing Hu Zhen in the throat and straight through the back of his head. Then with a slight force of both hands, he lifted Hu Zhen up and fell to the ground.
When Xiliang soldiers saw it, they were in chaos.
Sun Jian shouted loudly and waved his army straight to the front of the pass. Zhang Ji saw it as soon as he closed it, commanded the soldiers defending the city, and arrows and rolling stones rained down like an acre. Sun Jian had no choice but to lead his troops back to the camp to live, although the first battle was successful, but there was not much grain and grass with him. On the one hand, Sun Jian sent people to report to Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, he urged Yuan Shu to ask for military rations.
Yuan Shu's subordinate staff in charge of the distribution of grain and grass said to Yuan Shu: "Sun Jian's tiger and wolf generation, if Sun Jian broke Luoyang, killed Dong Table, saved Emperor Xian, and made this first contribution, it is tantamount to driving tigers and wolves. Yuan Shu was also shocked when he saw that Sun Jian had killed General Dong Table in the first battle, and he was silent when he heard the words of his staff.
Sun Jian fought with Li Jian for three consecutive days, but the grain and grass had already run out, and on the fourth day, the grain and grass had not been delivered, and he was irritable. At this time, there were rumors in the camp: 'Yuan Shu was jealous of Sun Taishou's first merit, so he did not give out military rations. Whispers came from all over the place, and Sun Jian was even more anxious in his heart.
Sun Jian was short of food in the camp, so he had his own detailed report to Li Xuan. Zhang Ji said to Li Xuan: "No, this night, the general will attack head-on, Li Meng will lead his troops to set fire, I will bring a unit to ambush Sun Jianzhai behind, and then kill it when I see the fire, and this battle can kill Sun Jian" Li Jian agreed.
In the middle of the night, the moon was white and the stars were scarce, and Li Qi and others quietly approached Sun Jian's camp with horses and horses, silk wrapped in hooves. One rocket after another was fired into the camp, and suddenly there was chaos in the camp and there was a shout.
When Sun Jian heard this, he hurriedly put on his horse, and the camp was in chaos at this time. Sun Jian had to rush out with a few personal soldiers, and only Zu Mao followed.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he met Li Qi head-on, and the two fought for a few rounds, and Li Meng led people to surround him.
Sun Jian hurriedly shot in a trance, grabbed the road and left, but was stopped by Li Meng.
Seeing this, Zu Mao struggled to break through Li Xuan's interception and rushed towards Li Meng, while beckoning Sun Jian to run quickly.
Sun Jian saw it and knew that the matter was urgent, so he turned around and ran. Li Meng slapped his horse and chased after him, and when Sun Jian saw it, he shot back at the horse. Li Meng took the horse with him, and the body was on one side. Sun Jian and Zu Mao rushed out. But at this time, Li Xun also rushed over.
Zu Mao shouted: "Lord, go quickly." ”
Sun Jian didn't dare to slack off, and said loudly: "Darong take care." "Turn the horse's head and rush out.
As soon as Li Xuan saw it, he raised his gun and stabbed him, and Sun Jian flashed, just stabbing Sun Jian's head.
Sun Jian was startled, clamped the horse's belly hard, and the flower-maned horse fled from Li Yu with a long neigh.
Li urged Sun Jian to flee, and even shot two arrows but Sun Jian dodged, seeing Sun Jian running farther and farther, he had to take Sun Jian's turban back to the camp. It happened that Zu Mao had escaped from Li Meng's pursuit and was rushing towards him.
Li Xun hurriedly stopped and stabbed Zu Mao off his horse with a few shots. It was already dawn, and Li and Zhang Ji cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the city with men and horses and thousands of prisoners.
