Chapter 335: Gale Zeng Song
The night sky is clear, and it doesn't seem like there will be snow today.
On the hillside, Gu Nan put away Wuge, retracted his waist, and prepared to leave.
Cao Cao, who was lying on the side, turned his eyes sideways.
"Sir, do you know what song Gaozu sings best?"
I don't know why Cao Cao suddenly asked this question, Gu Nan shook his head and replied, "I don't know." β
"Gaozu had better sing the song of the great wind." Cao Cao got up and slowly stood up from the ground, the wind on the slope sweeping the corners of his clothes.
"I heard that it was once made by a Qin general, and when Gao Zu heard it, he called this song to tell his mind and make it sing in the army."
He turned his head and sang loudly at the Tiger Prison in the distance of the slope.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.
Weijia Hai returned to his hometown.
Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet! β
The song was heard in the slope, and it was gloomy, as if the song came from that world.
After the song was finished, Cao Cao stood on the slope, stunned.
"How many people still remember?"
After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "remember! β
The ambition of the great man, galloping mountains and rivers, Weijia Hai, he Cao Cao remembers.
"Sir." Cao Cao turned his back to Gu Nan: "Then Xu Shao said that I am a traitor in troubled times, is this traitor going to be scolded by ten thousand people?" β
Gu Nan stood behind Cao Cao and smiled slightly: "Yes, infamous through the ages." β
"Then scold." Listening to the sound of the wind in his ears in a daze, in this strong wind, it seems that he can still hear the song of the wind sung in the army, Cao Cao clasped his hands.
"The land of Han should not fall apart! The Han people should not be suffering! β
The princes can't do it, he Cao Cao comes.

In the Tiger Prison, the flag was pulled tightly by the wind, and the wind has become stronger and stronger in the past few days, and even the flagpole has been blown and shaken.
The guards stood on the gate, leaning their spears in their arms, rubbing their hands on their arms. The torches were turned off, but because the wind was stronger at high places, the torches were flickering and dimming, and they looked like they might be extinguished at any moment.
The little bit of temperature brought by the wind would be blown away immediately, and the soldiers were only wearing an iron armor and a few clothes, and their hands and feet were so cold that they could only lean on the edge of the city wall to barely avoid the wind.
"Open the gates!"
A voice came from below, and the soldier poked his head out from behind the wall to look down.
It was a horseman, standing in front of the pass, holding a scroll of texts and a hand card.
"I am the letter of the Xiangguo, hurry up the book, open the city gate quickly and let me in."
Most of the soldiers on the city walls moved, and some of them hurriedly opened the gates and let the horsemen in.
Xiao Cai rushed into the pass, and without greeting, he rode his horse and went straight to the Chinese army.
"Hmm." There were several braziers lit in the hall, making the hall far less cold than outside, but still a little warm.
Dong Zhuo sat in the hall, his body pressed the seat under him slightly, holding the letter in his hand, and reading the letter in his eyes.
glanced at the horseman kneeling in the hall and waved his hand: "Okay, you go down and rest." β
"Xie Xiangguo." Xiaoqi bowed his head and walked out, Dong Zhuo sat alone in front of the table, touching his beard.
"Retreat to Luoyang, and then discuss countermeasures?"
The combat strength of the princes exceeded his expectations, and he thought that only the arrival of the Xiliang army would be able to cause the princes to throw themselves into chaos, and it would take a few battles to defeat them.
Who knew that Hua Xiong and Lu Bu were defeated one after another, so that they lost more than 60,000 troops.
On the day of Lu Bu's defeat, he wrote a letter and sent it back to Luoyang for discussion, but at this time, Luoyang replied with a letter to persuade him to retreat temporarily.
Although LΓΌ Bu and Hua Xiong were defeated, there were still more than 80,000 troops left in the Tiger Pass, and the princes' army was only more than 100,000.
It must be defended, but if you keep this battle, you don't know how long it will be fought, and now the situation in Luoyang is still unstable, he has been away for a long time, and the troops in his hands have been damaged, and there may be variables.
If there is a protracted war with the princes, maybe the backyard will catch fire first.
The meaning of the letter is that there are many discords among the princes, so they can retreat to Luoyang, watch the movements of the princes, and then try to appease and divide their people. In this way, avoid its edge, divide and conquer.
But if you do this, I am afraid that the tiger prison will not be able to hold it.
The Tiger Prison Pass was broken, that is, the princes were put into the pass, all the way until Luoyang was unimpeded, so how could Luoyang be safe?
Putting down the book, Dong Zhuo's hand was placed on the book, frowning, and closing his eyes.
The index finger tilted over the table.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang!"
The index finger stopped, Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, at this time, it is more important to grasp the government and the Son of Heaven, and the princes are in chaos, idle people, what can they do if they are messed up?
Retirement.
The 18th Route Princes' Army defeated Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers and horses in Bishui, routed 60,000 enemies, and defeated Huaxiong Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo immediately retreated and returned to Luoyang. The remaining 50,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass were held to stop the princes.
Although there were only 50,000 people, the Tiger Prison was in danger, and the princes did not dare to rashly march to confront the outside of the pass for a while.
And Sun Jian, who was defeated by Huaxiong earlier, also reunited with the stragglers, and even so, it can be regarded as a secret enmity with Yuan Shu.
There were many discords among the princes, and everyone had their own selfish intentions, and they all garrisoned outside the pass and did not enter, so that the tiger prison was not more than 50,000 people, but it was defended.
Until a news came from Luoyang City.
Luoyang, the capital of eastern Han, has been in decline for more than 200 years. The prosperity is really Chang'an, and it should be fortunate to drive the west. And there are thieves in the Kanto region, and the world is in turmoil. Chang'an has the risk of Kuihan; Closer to Longyou, wood, stone, bricks and tiles, Keri can be done, the palace is built, and it does not need to be more than a month, and it can be escorted unharmed.
Dong Zhuo wanted to abandon Luoyang and lead the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chang'an, which was equivalent to abandoning the 50,000 people in the Tiger Prison Pass.
The guards in the Tiger Prison Pass no longer have the will to fight, and switch to welcome the princes.
The princes' armies entered the customs, and the soldiers and horses gathered, but there was no intention of entering again.
In Guanzhong, Gu Nan sat in his room, with a book spread out in his hand, flipping through it a little boredly.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a sudden knock on the door, and Gu Nan turned his head in surprise.
"Here we are." As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door.
opened the door, but Xiahoudun was standing outside the room, and when he saw Gu Nan, Xiahoudun said with a smile.
"Sir, it's snowing outside."
"It's snowing?" Gu Nan looked out from behind Xiahoudun.
It was indeed snowing heavily outside, drifting in the sky.
"Sir has been waiting for so many days, I think I really want to see him, right?" Xiahoudun also looked outside and said.
Gu Nan looked at him for a moment and asked, "How do you know I'm waiting for snow?" β
"Sir, I look at the sky every day, and I ask when it snows in Guanzhong in previous years, and we are not stupid."
Xiahoudun smiled and let go of his body, and the snow outside was blown by the wind and scattered in all directions.
"Sir, you like snow?"
Gu Nan looked at the snow and chuckled: "It's okay." β
"Yuan Rang, I brought some wine, let's have a drink today."
A voice came from the door of the courtyard, it was Xiahou Yuan who smiled and several people walked in from outside.
"Alcohol is not allowed in the army." Li Dian walked behind him and frowned slightly, as if he felt that something was wrong.
"Once in a while, don't always be so rigid." Xiahou Yuan hooked up with his shoulder and patted him.
Li Dian sighed helplessly and nodded: "That's once." β
"Hahahaha, okay, Lao Hong wants to have a drink today!"
People crowded into the courtyard.
Gu Nan looked at everyone with a smile, in the wind and snow, the small courtyard didn't seem so deserted.
