For more than a year, there was no one around Luoyang, and the land was barren and overgrown, and it was even more depressed in autumn.

Feng Yong, the Taishou of Hanoi County, ordered Zhonglang to leave Chu Yan behind, and he personally led the cavalry of his headquarters to quickly cross the river to support Luoyang.

The Tiger Prison Pass was attacked by the east and west, unable to resist the enemy, and the only 1,000 defenders surrendered happily and saved their lives; The surrendered soldiers were left to the custody of Yanzhou Chenliu County, and Li Qiang led a large army to Luoyang.

Most of the officers and soldiers at Hangu Pass opened the door and surrendered, and only some of the officers and soldiers whose families were in the hands of Dong Zhuo fled and went to Yique Pass to report to Hu Zhen.

When Hu Zhen learned the news, he was shocked, and immediately sent scouts to Luoyang and Tiger Prison Pass to inquire about the news, and prepared to evacuate.

Before the scouts returned, Li Qiang had already led his men south under Gao Shun's orders; Dian Wei and Xu Chu were extremely excited.

Hu Zhen closed his door, he guessed that Luoyang City and Tiger Prison Pass must have been occupied, and immediately sent someone to Xiangyang City to inform Dong Zhuo.

Gao Shun dispatched troops in Luoyang and transferred people to guard Luoyang.

Chu Yan, the general of Zhonglang, led the people of the headquarters to cross the river and come to Luoyang; Also receiving the same news were Yin Li, a Zhonglang general stationed in Puyang City, and Zhang Liao, a Zhonglang general stationed in Dongwuyang City, both of whom went to Luoyang with their headquarters of soldiers and horses

Sima Huanglong led 5,000 infantry to garrison the Tiger Pass.

The people who came to support were all cavalry, and they could not attack the three passes in the south, so Gao Shun felt that he had attached too much importance to the cavalry before, so he sent 2,500 senior infantry and 3,000 junior infantry from Luoyang to Yique Pass to support Li Qiang; At the same time, Jizhou was ordered to mobilize the fortified camp and bring troops to come; Ordered Fang Liang of Qingzhou to send 10,000 infantry to come quickly.

He also ordered Liu Miao to come to Luoyang to gather the royal family to repair and take care of the imperial mausoleum.

The enemy troops arrived one after another, and Hu Zhen was very anxious and afraid; The scouts returned one after another, bringing back bad news, Luoyang City, Tiger Prison Pass, etc. have been occupied by Gaoshun forces, and reinforcements from all walks of life are gathering in Luoyang.

Gao Shun occupied Luoyang, and the world was shocked.

The people of Jizhou were very happy, and Zhonglang immediately led the troops to set off; Anyway, they are all transferred in the jurisdiction, just send someone to notify the officials along the way in advance, they will provide food, and then they only need to take the documents to Jizhou to settle, which is very convenient.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were very disappointed, especially Ma Chao, who was even more disappointed.

Qingzhou Fang Liang was very happy, and immediately sent Zhonglang General Wu Anguo to lead 10,000 infantry to Luoyang, which was a high honor for them and Gao Shun's trust in them.

When Zhou Fei of Liangzhou learned the news, he immediately sent Zhonglang to send Zang Ba from Tongguan to Luoyang to support, which was the closest officer and soldier to Luoyang.

All the soldiers and horses, passing by Luoyang City, did not stop, and hurried south.

The soldiers gathered at Yique Pass, Dagu Pass and Yuyuan Pass.

Although the enemy had not yet begun to attack the fortification, Hu Zhen was already frightened, and did not know how many soldiers and horses Gao Shun had arranged, so he made a surprising move, ordering the defenders of Yique Pass, Dagu Pass and Yuyuan Pass to withdraw to Guangcheng Pass at night, and he himself was stationed in Liang County, and reported to Dong Zhuo on Pegasus, hoping to quickly send a large army to help.

Because Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had no fear, they felt that Gao Shun would never rashly attack Luoyang, so most of the soldiers and horses under Hu Zhen's jurisdiction were transferred, leaving less than 10,000 people, except for the defenders of Luoyang City, Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, there were only more than 6,000 people in the three southern passes, how could they resist Gao Shun's endless army? Hu Zhen retreated to Guangchengguan and concentrated his forces, which was really a helpless move.

Gao Shun was very happy to successfully occupy the southern three passes and protect the safety of the southern part of Luoyang. However, he still did not give the order to attack the fortification, but only let the troops continue to gather in the south to put pressure on Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard the news; Li Ru was even more frightened and sweated profusely.

At this time, Dong Zhuo didn't care whether Lu Bu was loyal or not, and at the suggestion of Li Ru, he sent Lu Bu to lead 10,000 cavalry to Guangcheng Pass to support, and the army would follow.

Li Ru felt that even if Lu Bu had a friendship with Gao Shun, Lu Bu's family was in Xiangyang City, and he would not surrender to Gao Shun.

Lu Bu's fierceness is well known to everyone, and when he learned that Lu Bu came to help, Hu Zhen was a little relieved.

At the same time, Li Ru also suggested that he should immediately send the Marquis of Buqi as an envoy to visit Gao Shun in the north, announce the imperial decree, and order him not to go south

Dong Zhuo had no other choice but to adopt Li Ru's suggestion, otherwise, Liu Pan was not eliminated in the south, Gao Shun was attacked in the north, and he would be defeated in the north and south.

His family members were all in Xiangyang City, so he had to receive his life.

Lu Bu has no dissatisfaction, and it is not bad to be able to come out to relax, it is much better than staying in Xiangyang City and doing nothing; He had been favored by Gao Shun, and he didn't want to be with Gao Shun, but he really couldn't, he wanted to retreat from Guangcheng Pass to Luyang City, pay off Gao Shun's kindness, and then have a good duel with Gao Shun.

When Lu Bu arrived, Hu Zhen was finally relieved, handed over the command to Lu Bu, and secretly monitored Lu Bu according to the secret letter sent by Dong Zhuo.

After settling the officers and soldiers, Lu Bu boarded Guangcheng Pass, and saw that there were about tens of thousands of people in the enemy military camp in the north of the Guanbei, and he already knew it; This is Gao Shun's reluctance to take the initiative to attack, otherwise tens of thousands of people will attack, and Hu Zhen only has a few thousand officers and soldiers, how can he defend? I'm afraid it has already been conquered.

Lu Bu's flag was raised at Guangcheng Pass, and the most excited was none other than Li Qiang, who had heard Gao Shunyan say that he was comparable to Huang Zhong and Lu Bu's martial arts, and he must be careful to deal with it; When he met Lu Bu this time, he immediately made his hands itch, and decided to find Lu Bu to have a discussion.

Therefore, the next day, Li Qiang couldn't bear the loneliness and led everyone and 5,000 cavalry to come to the pass to challenge.

When Lu Bu saw that Li Qiang was only coming with cavalry, he knew that it was not a siege, but a challenge; He was not afraid, so he also led 5,000 cavalry out of the pass to meet the battle.

After greeting each other, Lu Bu said bluntly: "Who will come first?" ”

Since most of the people lived in Yecheng and knew each other's martial arts, Li Qiang didn't dare to be careless, and sent Dian Wei to play first.

Dian Wei was the most excited, he had also heard Gao Shun's introduction, Lu Bu was strong in martial arts, and he had to be cautious when encountered, which aroused his curiosity.

It is the wish of every military general to play with the masters, and only by constantly challenging the peak and finding out the shortcomings can we continue to improve.

Lu Bu and Dian Wei's war horses are all premium war horses given by Gao Shun, so the battle between the two sides is relatively fair, and everything depends on personal strength.

Besides, both of them are at the rank of lieutenant generals, and their military ranks are equal, so there is no ink, and they immediately go to war.

The two sides urged the horses to rush towards each other, a mile apart, and for the two good horses, it was instantaneous; The long iron spear used by Lu Bu, one sweep, was strong and heavy; Dian Wei's strength is arm strength, with a wave of his right arm, blocking with a halberd; With a loud "bang", the two weapons collided, Lu Bu's spear deviated from the direction, and the two horses staggered.

After adjusting the horse's head, Lu Buzan said: "Hahaha, what a strong force, but you use a short weapon, and the horse battle is not dominant." ”

Dian Wei explained: "What Feng Xian said is good, Wei Nai is an infantry lieutenant general, and he is not good at riding battles, but I heard that Feng Xian is good at martial arts, so his hands are itchy." ”

Li Qiang felt that it was a little hasty to let Dian Wei play, forgetting his characteristics of not being good at horse fighting, he hurriedly stopped the two of them and said: "It's because I didn't arrange it well, bypassing Feng Xianjian and laughing, or let me accompany Feng Xian to practice!" ”

Lu Budao: "Haha, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, general, please!" ”

Dian Wei had to return to his own camp and was very disappointed.

Everyone was looking forward to a wonderful battle, and it was extremely precious for them to witness such a battle between masters.
