Chapter 121: Movement of the Parties
Since Linzhou occupied Chang'an, within five days, Dong Zhuo was captured alive, and the news of Chang'an's change of ownership spread to the world.
After learning the news, Lu Bu was so angry that he completely ignored Jizhou, and led the army directly to Chang'an, vowing to rescue Dong Zhuo and recapture Chang'an.
And the Han Emperor Liu Xie, also through the servant Ma Yu, the counselor Shao, and the Zuo Zhonglang general Liu Fan, secretly issued a secret edict, sealing the Western Liang Taishou Ma Teng, and the state assassin Shi Han Sui as the general of the expedition to the west and the general of Zhenxi, and was instructed by the Han Emperor.
The battle of Youzhou, after three days of fierce fighting, Youzhou was finally breached, and he could not wait for Yuan Shu to come to help, although Yuan Shao was unwilling, but he could not escape defeat, and finally Xu Zisheng ordered Yuan Shao to be beheaded directly, and his head was hung above the city gate, staring at his eyes, looking at the direction of Jizhou.
At this time, Yuan Shao's heart and mind, Yuan Shu, had already taken Jizhou, occupied it, peeped at the movement of Chang'an, and was ready to send troops to Chang'an at any time, and had no intention of asking Yuan Shao's life and death.
Xu Zisheng, who captured Youzhou, did not stay here longer, leaving a small team of men and horses to guard Youzhou, and then returned to Chang'an with a large army, after all, he finally took Chang'an, even if it was hot, Xu Zisheng had to go back to defend Chang'an, so that he could easily give up Chang'an, which was obviously impossible.
As for Liu Biao, Liu Bei's men and horses have been taken back under the tent, sitting in Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and now that Liu Bei has joined, Liu Biao has no intention of sending troops, but just sticks to the territory and has a wait-and-see attitude.
However, Cao Cao and his entourage actually received a holy decree from the Han Emperor, ordering Cao Cao to lead troops to Qinwang, at this time, Cao Cao led his troops to take Xingyang, and for a while he did not want to enter Chang'an, after all, the princes were turbulent, and Mo Shuyan had no intention of letting Cao Cao take Chang'an at this time.
Now that there is the will of the Han Emperor, Mo Shuyan and Cao Cao discussed, but also felt that they could rely on the will to crusade against the order, so in recent days, Cao Cao sent Zhang Lie, Li Dian and Xiahou Dun, who had just come to meet recently, each with a team of men and horses, to fight the new Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which had some good returns.
When Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty learned of this situation, he also privately sealed Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong, of course, for this title, Cao Cao and Mo Shuyan just laughed.
In just a few days, Cao Cao's account captured 350,000 soldiers, Mo Shuyan timely put forward "the soldiers are not more than the fine", Cao Cao then only selected the elite, the formation of Qingzhou soldiers, the other soldiers ordered them to disarm and return to the field, with his subordinates, Cao Cao directly transferred the base camp to Yanzhou, in just a few days, it has been strong and strong, far beyond the past.
As for Sun Jian's men and horses who came from the river, they fought a big battle with Huang Zu in Jiangxia, and it took a lot of effort to defeat Huang Zu, and with Jiangxia as a base, they continued to transport troops and grain and grass from Jiangdong across the river, and they would not be easily dispatched in a short time.
At this point, because Chang'an changed hands and Dong Zhuo became a prisoner, the troubled times have begun to appear, and the princes of all parties have begun to plot the world, wanting to take advantage of the troubled times to achieve supreme hegemony.
