Although the battle in Yangcheng was only a city, it successfully stirred up the general situation on both sides of Kansai and Kanto. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Rong followed Dong Zhuo's instructions, after taking Yangcheng, he sent a part of the soldiers back in advance, rode horses to open the way, and the captured wagons behind were loaded with captive women, and tied their heads to the wheels, sang a triumphant song and returned to Luoyang to report the victory, and loudly proclaimed: "Defeat the Yuzhou rebels, Wang Shi won a complete victory!" ”

After Dong Zhuo showed off his great martial arts to the people in Luoyang City, he had his head burned outside the city, and the women and goods in the car were all rewarded to the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the Battle of Yangcheng.

Seeing that so many goods and women were rewarded to those meritorious colleagues in the army, the other Dong soldiers and horses who were still stationed in Luoyang were all stimulated, and they actively asked for battle, wanting to borrow the heads of the Kwantung soldiers and horses in exchange for military merits and rewards.

Dong Zhuo knew that his soldiers and horses were available, but he was not in a hurry to start a war with the Kwantung soldiers and horses immediately.

In addition to the more than 50 members of the Yuan clan who remained in Luoyang led by Yuan Kui, who were killed by Dong Zhuo, the cars of the Son of Heaven and other ministers had already set off for Chang'an in advance, but the people within a radius of 200 miles from Luoyang had not yet begun to migrate.

In the court before, Yang Biao once used the experience of "Pangeng moved the capital, and the Yin people were resentful" to dissuade Dong Zhuo's domineering behavior of bent on moving the capital and having no scruples, but Dong Zhuo, who had already torn his face with the court doctor, also replied unceremoniously: "How can the people discuss!" If there is a past, I will drive it with a large army, and I can make it go to the sea. ”

Therefore, Dong Zhuo's method of driving the people under the rule of Yin in Henan Province to move west was very simple, just like in the past, when the Han court wanted to abandon Liangzhou, the people of Liangzhou were forcibly moved eastward, first arresting the wealthy merchants in Luoyang City, executing them on fabricated charges, and then confiscating their belongings, and confiscating all the family slaves into the government and the army.

In order to prevent the migrating people from falling behind and escaping, Dong Zhuo let his men force behind the migration team, and ordered his subordinates to set fire to all palaces, government offices and people's residences, cutting off their way back.

As for the horses trampling on the road, the people crowding each other, plus the hunger and the looting of the sergeants on the way, the corpses of the people who kept dying were piled up on the road, this was not something that Dong Zhuo needed to consider.

The living in Luoyang have been solved, and the dead cannot be left behind. The use of the army to dig graves, the troubled times of the past dynasties are highly efficient and high-return things, such as Xiang Yu's army, which entered Guanzhong, and Sun Dianying, who came to the warlord melee of the Republic of China late, have done a lot of such things.

Nowadays, it is popular to "regard death as life" and "thick burial", from nobles to commoners, they will do everything they can to bury a large amount of gold and silver treasures for themselves during their lifetime, even if they are bankrupt and losers, so Dong Zhuo let his confidant Lu Bu lead troops to dig up the tombs of emperors and the cemeteries of officials and officials below in previous dynasties, collect treasures, and use them as military supplies.

Dong Zhuo's atrocity and rebellious behavior, through the mouths of the fleeing soldiers and the intelligence of the spies who infiltrated Luoyang, were soon known by all the soldiers and horses in the Kanto region to seek Dong.

It's just because Kong Ling's Yuzhou soldiers and horses were broken by the Xiliang soldiers, and even Kong Ling was scared half to death, the shock to the people of all walks of life in Guandong Prefecture was too great, although the people from all walks of life were indignant and denounced the national thief Dong Zhuo, but after all, no one dared to take the lead in sending troops to attack Luoyang City, where the Xiliang soldiers gathered.

Among them, such as Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo has more than 50 lives of his Yuan family in his bloody hands, saying that Yuan Shao doesn't want to take revenge is false, but there has always been a Han Fu behind him who is afraid of him and is secretly restraining him, although Yuan Shao is nominally the leader of the Dong Alliance, but he can't really mobilize other soldiers and horses, and his Bohai soldiers are even inferior in number and elite compared to Kong Ling's Yuzhou soldiers, which makes Yuan Shao dare to take the initiative to attack.

And Yuan Shu, because he had just borrowed Sun Jian's hand, got the big county of Nanyang, and was starting to control his own territory, preparing to digest the fertile soil of Nanyang before Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court and the patriarch of the Han family, arrived to gain a firm foothold. At the same time, tens of thousands of horses of his ally Sun Jian had just entered Yuzhou, and it would take some time to stabilize the hearts of the people of Yuzhou and rectify the war readiness of the soldiers in Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu's camp did not attack.

Although Cao Cao, the general of Xingfenwu, lobbied and strongly advocated the coalition army of Sujube to enter Luoyang, there were few responders, only his deep confidant Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and his old acquaintance Zhang Miao responded to Cao Cao's military action to force Luoyang, and sent troops to help.

Among them, Cao Cao has no territory for the time being, just a false expression of the title of general of the line, so although he scattered all his wealth and gathered volunteers, but there were only 5,000 new soldiers, and Weizi had helped Cao Cao recruit troops and horses before, this time on the order of Zhang Miao, he only brought 3,000 soldiers to help the war, only Bao Xin and Bao Tao two brothers, with a piece of territory in Jibei County, Yanzhou, so the most soldiers and horses in their hands, reaching 20,000 people, nearly 30,000 troops from the three parties, the momentum created is not small, and they began to make a big fanfare and advance towards Luoyang.

On three sides of the network, Yang Zhai, Luyang, Sujube, and Hanoi surround Luoyang from all directions, and now Yang Zhai's Kong Ling is critically ill, and the enemy of Yuzhou is not to worry, and the remaining Luyang Yuan Shu and Hanoi Yuan Shao have their own people behind them, but Cao Cao of Sour Jujube also tried to march with one force, and the attention of the Dong Jun camp has naturally shifted to this lone army that blindly marches westward.

When Yan Xing learned that Cao Cao in the Kwantung rebels had led his soldiers and horses from Chenliu County into the territory of Henan Yin, and all the counties he passed through were all looking forward to the wind, and his soldiers and horses were currently stationed in Zhongmu for repair, Yan Xing couldn't help but sigh for a while, and took the time to climb to the juncture of Chenggao, and looked far away at the plains and rivers of Yima Pingchuan and rivers in the east.

"Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world, Cao Liu. The prelude to this troubled world has finally officially begun, heroes and heroes have flocked to the stage, and you will sing and I will appear. Cao Mengde, who is the precursor of the king, you advocate westward expansion, but do you know that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry we are waiting for is waiting for you on the bank of Bianshui! ”

···

Cao Cao naturally didn't know that at the Chenggao juncture, Yan Xing was planning to wait for him on the bank of the Bianshui, just like Yan Xing, who didn't know that a small group of people and horses who had traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang were also waiting for him.

"Bo Xi is miserable, and the state is miserable. Bo also insisted on being the king's precursor.

From the east of Bo, the first is like a flying canopy. Is there no anointing? Who's comfortable!

Its rain and its rain, Gao Gao out of the sun. I wish to speak of Sibo and be willing to be the first to be sick.

What do you have to do with the grass? The back of the tree of words. May the words be spoken. It makes my heart cripple. ”

Yan Wan was standing in front of the door of a deserted house at this time, softly singing this song "Boxi", this song "Boxi" tells the story of a man named "Bo" who went into battle to kill the enemy, and his wife was worried about him at home and haggard The story of Yan Wan singing at this time, this "Bo" is naturally referring to his brother Yan Xing.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, Yan Xing left with the army, and now in the first year of Chuping, Yan Wan came to Luoyang, and in the past three years, she has not been able to see her brother who once loved her and spoiled her.

And in the troubled times, three years is enough to destroy some good things, and it will also make some people change dramatically.

Yan Wan has changed from a little girl with a comb to a gentle girl, the little baby fat on her face has disappeared, and under the delicate eyebrows, the pair of big eyes are now mixed with a trace of indelible sadness.

She looked at the black smoke in the distance, remembered the tragic scene of starvation and death all over the way, and then thought of her brother, she couldn't help but shiver, and clenched the letter of Yan Xing in her sleeve tightly, as if she would not see her brother again.

Every time she thought of her brother, the scar left by the scab on her pink neck would ache again inexplicably.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the news of the defeat of the Liangzhou coalition army in Chencang for two years in the east was transmitted back to Liangzhou, and the Yan family's dock fort was suddenly panicked, and the sound of crying was faintly heard in the homes of many clansmen.

Yan's father was also anxious about this, and his condition deteriorated, Yan Wan served in front of his father's bed every day, but she was only a woman, and she did not have the wisdom and courage of her brother, she knew that the undercurrent in the clan was turbulent now, but she couldn't do anything. Until that day, the third uncle Yan Li appeared.

When Yan Wan saw the pale and blood-red face of the third uncle again, she was also taken aback, many people in the dock fort had not seen the third uncle for two years, and some people said that after he was put under house arrest, he had gone crazy, and he couldn't even tell who he was.

But when Yan Wan saw the third uncle again, she knew that her third uncle Yan Li was not crazy, if he was crazy, then he would be crazy for this day.

The third uncle Yan Li did not hesitate, took advantage of the chaos and once again asked for helpers, took over the power of the clan, he killed his brother, in order to marry the families in Jincheng, and planned to marry Yan Wanxu, who had just passed the house.

Yan Wan refused to obey death, and even did not hesitate to die, the scar on her pink neck was carved by herself with a book knife, blood splashed, and the pain of piercing her heart, but this pain was not at all comparable to the pain of the already cold heart in her chest.

Yan Wan's fierceness also frightened Yan Li and his cronies, and they didn't dare to push her too much for the time being, and just as she was recuperating from her injuries, a servant of the family secretly handed her a letter.

That letter rekindled a spark of hope in her cold heart, because it was her eldest brother's letter.

Then, she met the ranger who was called "Ah Ruo" by others, he led people to infiltrate the dock fort, robbed her, and the group went from Yunwu to Lintao, from Lintao to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Hedong, and finally to Luoyang.

The hardships and hardships along the way are hard to describe.

Yan Wan was recalling these painful experiences in his mind, when a group of people strode in outside the house.

"Fourth Lady Yan, why did you run out, it's windy outside, hurry up and go into the house!"
