Chapter 81 Sun Jian Dexi Cao Cao is in ambush
LΓΌ Bu was frustrated, Hua Xiong was killed, the Xiliang army was discouraged, and Yuan Shao attacked sharply for several days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Dong Table was furious, and ordered someone to put Yuan Shao's family on the city wall, kill Yuan Shao one by one, and leave the city.
When Yuan Shao saw it, he screamed, fell off the horse, and fainted in pain. The rebels had no choice but to stop the siege and turn back to the camp. After a long time, Yuan Shao woke up, and under the persuasion of the princes from all walks of life, he stopped his grief and ordered the whole army to bring filial piety.
In the days that followed, more intense attacks were organized, with heavy casualties on both sides.
Seeing that the Allied army was attacking the city fiercely, and the food in his own army was now in short supply, Dong Table convened all the generals and strategists to discuss the matter.
Lu Bu said: "Wait for me to go to war again tomorrow and kill the morale of the thieves." β
Dong Table glanced at Lu Bu and said, "I have seen the three people who fought with you the day before yesterday. was a fierce general who broke the yellow scarf, and followed Lu Zhi at that time. It is said that one of them was a student of Lu Zhi, so I deliberately despised and deliberately snubbed them. Later, they went to Zhu Junbu, and the year before last, they also participated in the battle to exterminate Yuyang Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and also made some military exploits. Hua Xiong is my Xiliang warrior, but he was killed by the red-faced man in a few moves. Although Hua Xiong is too light on the enemy, his courage is undeniable. Another black-faced person can fight you fiercely for fifty or sixty rounds without defeat, which is obviously not bad. Although the last person is not as good as a shot, he should also be a warrior who is not weak. Bong Xian should not be taken lightly. β
When Lu Bu heard Dong Table Shu say, although it was for his own good, he was still unconvinced, and said angrily: "So what, do you want to let them be so arrogant?" β
Dong Table didn't make a sound, but looked at Jia Yu and the other generals.
Jia Yu's face was relatively gloomy, and when he saw Dong Table looking over, he sighed for a moment, and said: "Our army is short of food, although the rebels have the support of various states and counties, but hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered here, and now it is a time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, and there will be a shortage of grain and grass. We have all moved the people of Luoyang to Chang'an and Hongnong and other places, and we only need to give up Tiger Prison, Guangcheng Erguan and Luoyang. Not a single grain was left for the rebels, and they retreated to the front line of Xin'an. After the rebels occupy Luoyang, their food supply lines will be lengthened, which will inevitably cause supply difficulties. Besides, the rebels had no purpose, and once they occupied Luoyang, their morale would inevitably collapse, and they would no longer be able to fight the prime minister. β
Dong Table nodded and looked at the generals again. Seeing this, Xu Rong said: "When our army retreats, we can bluff at the Tiger Prison and Guangcheng Second Pass to buy time for our army to retreat. β
Dong Table expressed his approval, and then said: "Yuan Shao is indecisive, suspicious and hesitant, but Cao Cao is brave and resolute and decisive. β
Jia Yu continued: "When there are two ambushes between Luoyang and Xin'an, two ambushes will be set up in dangerous places, and the retreating soldiers and horses will be cut off by Lord Lu. In case of chasing soldiers, Lord Lu will first engage in battle, and then the second ambush will attack from behind, and the pursuers will be attacked before and after, and they will inevitably be defeated. The first ambush will volley again, so that the pursuers will be completely annihilated. β
The generals praised it, and Dong Table nodded in praise.
Dong Desk arranged for the army to withdraw from Tiger Prison and Guangcheng first, leaving only a few soldiers to defend the city, and retreated after three days.
Due to the fierce attack for several days in a row, the various departments suffered heavy losses, and in these two days, Yuan Shao ordered the various departments to take turns to fight,
It was Sun Jian's turn that day. Sun Jian led his troops to the front of the Tiger Prison, and saw that the city was different from the past, and the specific differences could not be said, the city was still full of flags and drums, but it always felt that there was a difference. Hurry forward, take a closer look, and then shoot an arrow at the head of the city wall, what is surprising is that although it was not shot, it did not see the head of the person to avoid, and the heart was puzzled, even shooting a few arrows.
Cheng Pu said: "The city is full of dummies. β
Sun Jian nodded.
Cheng Pu asked the soldiers to push the ladder up to take a look, all the soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little afraid.
Cheng Pu said loudly: "What are you afraid of, there is no one in the city. β
Hearing this, all the soldiers jumped up bravely, and as soon as the ladder was erected, the city gate was opened, and about a hundred or so people ran out, saying that 'Dong Table had left two days ago.'
Sun Jian made a move, "Let's go and pursue." Then he arranged for someone to report to Yuan Shao. And the hundred and ten men were left here to defend the city.
Yuan Shao was also taken aback after receiving the letter, and quickly lined up the rebels from all walks of life to pursue.
When he arrived in Luoyang, it was already an empty city, the palace was burned down, there were broken bricks everywhere, Sun Jianbu was cleaning up the ruins, filling in the tombs of the former emperors and princes and rich families dug up by Dong Table. The leaders of the rebels from all walks of life wept bitterly when they saw it, and scolded Dong Table for losing his conscience.
Cao Cao suggested to Yuan Shao: "Dong thieves burned the palace, excavated the tombs of the first emperor and the concubines, robbed the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, abused the people, the world was shaken, and if you chase it at this time, you will be able to defeat the Dong thief, and you can fight and settle the world, why not pursue it?" β
For Cao Cao's proposal, the princes ignored it. Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said: "Everyone is tired of fighting repeatedly, and it is not too late to rest and chase after it. β
Cao Cao was furious: "The erector is not enough and the plan." After speaking, he raised troops to chase after him.
Just out of Luoyang is only thirty or forty miles, seeing that he has caught up, Lu Bu's rear army is the front army, lined up, and laughed: "Sure enough, as expected by the prime minister, Cao Thief left and ate my halberd." β
When Cao Cao looked up and saw that it was Lu Bu, he was shocked, and commanded Le Jin, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others to rush up. The Xiliang army was brave, the Cao army was invincible, the situation was critical, Cao Hong urgently told Cao Cao to retreat, Cao Cao saw that it was impossible to disobey, beat the horse and fled, and Cao Hong then covered.
Just walked a few miles, there was another drum sound, a group of people flashed out, Xu Rong stopped Cao Cao, just two or three rounds of fighting, Cao Hong caught up, took Xu Rong to tear up, and told Cao Cao to flee quickly. Cao Cao knew that he was here, and he would only make Cao Hong scruples. He said, "Take care." He fled again, found a path, and ran into it.
While running in a hurry, Cao Cao's horse fell and threw Cao to pieces, only to see two soldiers shouting: "Finally caught another one, now you can receive a reward." β
"Oh, it should be an official, now we are rich." Another surprise.
The two of them tied Cao Cao with their hands and feet, and one of them saw that Cao Cao still wanted to break free, so he punched him and said, "Be honest, otherwise you will suffer." If you move again, our brothers will beat you. β
Cao Cao had already fallen hard, and he took another punch, which made his eyes bloom in pain, and he sighed in his heart: "Should my Cao Cao's life be like this?" β
At this moment, a man in the distance shouted: "Stop hurting my lord!" The two minions saw that another one had come and shouted, "Oh, bad thing! He was about to pull Cao Cao and escape. Cao Cao saw that it was Cao Hong coming, and he was overjoyed, and when he saw Cao Hong holding a bow and arrow, he immediately turned around and fell to the ground. The two soldiers were stunned, only to see an arrow piercing through the sky like a meteor, shooting one of the soldiers, and the other was frightened, and was about to step forward to grab Cao Cao, only to see a flash of blue light, and a head flew up. Cao Honglai was not in a hurry to take a closer look at the jump off the horse to pull Cao Cao up, untie the rope, and saw that Cao Cao's war horse was no longer usable, so he hurriedly helped his war horse.
Cao Cao was shocked: "I take your horse, how will you escape?" β
Cao Hong said tragically: "The world can do without Cao Hong, but it can't be without you!" After saying that, he insisted on helping Cao Cao onto the horse, and Cao Hong then walked to cover the back.
Cao Cao said excitedly: "Brother Hong, I will never forget your life-saving grace to me today!" β
Cao Cao and Cao Hong only went forward for more than a dozen miles, and when they saw a small river in front of them and the chasing soldiers behind them, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and shouted: "God! Could it be that my Cao Cao's life should be like this today? Cao Hong was also anxious when he saw it, took off his armor, took the war horse that Cao Cao was riding, jumped into the river, and walked in the water.
As soon as he swam to the opposite bank, Fan Chou led the troops to arrive, and a burst of arrows came at him. Cao Cao crawled and dodged, and Cao Hong danced a gun to cover Cao Cao, and he was hit by many arrows.
After walking a short distance, he saw a group of men and horses running in front of him. Cao Cao and Cao Hong were terrified and had nowhere to hide. When he was worried, it was Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others who came.
It turned out that Cao Ren and several others struggled to stop Lu Bu, but after Lu Bu retreated, Cao Cao was gone, and several people were in a hurry, and they encountered several interceptions one after another, and when they broke out of the encirclement and returned to the camp, they still did not see Cao Cao. The crowd had to return to the battlefield again to look for it, and they saw it when they reached the river. Everyone cried with joy. It feels like a tiger is in the mouth for the rest of your life.
Cao Cao saw that several of his generals were there, but after this battle. There were less than 3,000 soldiers left. Unconsciously scolded Yuan Shao. After a night's rest, Cao Cao returned to Luoyang to see Yuan Shao and others drinking and having fun in the camp. There is no intention of going any further. I also heard that Sun Jian found a jade seal in the palace, which is said to be a piece that was not seen during the previous palace chaos. And this news was told to Yuan Shao by Yuan Shao according to a fine work inserted by Sun Jian's side, Yuan Shu asked Sun Jian to hand over the jade seal to the alliance leader, Sun Jian did not admit to getting the jade seal, and finally Sun Jian swore an oath that he would only give up under the persuasion of other rebel leaders. Sun Jian also left angrily and returned to Changsha. Seeing this, Yuan Shao secretly sent someone to send a letter to Liu Biao, who had just served as the assassin of Jingzhou, which meant that "Sun Jian secretly has a jade seal of the state's heavy weapon, and hopes that Liu Biao will intercept it." Send it to the emperor. β
Cao Cao saw that everyone had no intention of attacking Dong, and Gongsun Zan and others also left. So he sighed and returned to Chen Liu.
Yanzhou Assassin Shi borrowed grain from the Taishou of Dongjun, but Qiao Mao did not give it, Liu Dai led the troops into the camp, killed Qiao Mao, and annexed Qiao Mao's soldiers and horses.
