Chapter 255: The Appearance of the Wolf
Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo had always been disgusted with Zhang Wen, but he had never found a suitable charge, and what Jia Xu said came at the right time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was worried about the war in the Kwantung region, and before he fell asleep, he took Jia Xu and Lu Fan to Xiangguo Mansion, and first told Zhang Wen about the situation of his illicit affair with Yuan Shu.
Poor Zhang Wen, who is a former lieutenant, is just a victim of Jia Xu's easier agreement to form an alliance in order to win Dong Zhuo's favor.
After Dong Zhuo issued the order to behead Zhang Wen's family, he was in a good mood, looking at Jia Xu standing in front of him, he seemed to have some impressions: "Who are you?" How can you be so kind?! β
Li Ru said with a smile on the side: "This is Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who came to discuss the alliance with us on behalf of Jin Liang." β
Dong Zhuo slammed the case: "Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, you betrayed Niu Fu, so that he was defeated by Jin Liang, and you dare to stand in front of your father!" β
Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "Lord Xiangguo, I have served in the Xiliang Army for more than eight years, and I have been despised by Xiangguo, and I am only a clerk in the Niu Auxiliary Army. I gave Niu Fu a few strategies, Wen You also knew, at that time I was already doing my best, who knew that Jin Liang was a step ahead, will be planned, and Niu Fu will be defeated, it is really my lack of strategy, not that I intended to surrender to the enemy, after which I was captured by the Central Army with Niu Fu, not I tried to persuade Niu Fu to be killed by General Jin, after which General Jin treated me favorably, and ordered me to counsel the military aircraft, and the status was not inferior to Wen You's position in the Xiliang Army, I was grateful to General Jin for his kindness, and only then did he return to obedience. β
Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu fiercely: "You think I don't dare to kill you!" β
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "There are a lot of Xiangguo, and they have the bearing of Xiangguo, and they must focus on national affairs!" β
Dong Zhuo then remembered that Jia Xu mentioned that Jin Liang wanted to form an alliance with him, and hurriedly asked: "Why does Jin Liang want to form an alliance with me, isn't he in the Kwantung Rebel Alliance?" β
In order to express Jin Liang's sincerity, Lu Fan proposed to marry Jin Liang and prepare to marry Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai as his wife.
Dong Zhuo stared at the bull's eye, looked Jia Xu and Lu Fan up and down, and saw that they were very generous in their speech and demeanor, and they were more outstanding than his son-in-law Li Ru.
Dong Zhuo was persuaded by Li Ru, and after thinking about it for a few days, he agreed to form a secret alliance with Jin Liang.
Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's advice, summoned Sima Yi to the mansion, chatted casually, and then sent Sima Yi away.
Sima Yi didn't take a few steps, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Virtuous nephew, please stay!" β
Sima Yi looked back, Dong Zhuoqing clearly saw that Sima Yi was really a wolf, his heart suddenly changed, he believed Li Ru's words, and began to suspect Wang Yun and Sima Fang.
Because Sima Fang is currently Jing Zhaoyin and has thousands of soldiers in his hands, if Dong Zhuo kills Sima Yi now, I am afraid that he will be forced to oppose Sima Fang, which is not conducive to the defense of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo forced a smile and said: "Virtuous nephew, the strategy you offered last time was very good, I want to reward you with something." Dong Zhuo took a piece of peiyu and handed it to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi took the piece of peiyu with a smile, said goodbye to Dong Zhuo, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo looked at Sima Yi's distant back, his face gradually became gloomy, and he instructed Li Ru: "Send someone to keep an eye on him, inform Duan Xuan, who is staying in Chang'an, keep an eye on Sima Fang, as long as Huangfu Song and the others retreat, let Duan Xuan immediately annihilate Sima Fang's family and their family soldiers to eliminate future troubles!" β
"That Sima Yi's strategy?!" Li Ru said: "We have formed a secret alliance with Jin Liang, and it is not good to incite a rebellion in Xiangyang. β
"The civil strife in Xiangyang is all instigated by Wang Yun, what do we have to do with the Xiliang Army!" Dong Zhuo smiled contemptuously and said: "It is impossible for Jin Liang not to arrange a follow-up move, those rotten Confucians, those generals who are not valued by Jin Liang, what big waves can be set off, as long as Jin Liang returns to Xiangyang, the night will be peaceful!" β
LΓΌ Fan stayed in Luoyang as a hostage for the time being, and after Jin Liang withdrew from the army, he would exchange those Xiliang prisoners for LΓΌ Fan.
Dong Zhuo sent Li Dao to lead hundreds of flying bear troops to escort Jia Xu to Xingyang City, and conveyed Dong Zhuo's meaning to Xu Rong.
Although Xu Rong was quite suspicious of the alliance with Jin Liang, he did not dare to disobey Dong Zhuo's order, and quietly withdrew from Xingyang City from the West Gate overnight.
In the past few days, Jin Liang excused himself by saying that his men were tired from pursuing Xu Rong. With Sun Jian's Jiangdong Danyang infantry as the front of the siege, he used his own thunderbolt as a cover to launch several real sieges, all of which were repelled by Xu Rong, and Sun Jian was killed and wounded more than 1,000 people. There were quite complaints, and the head of Xingyang City was also mutilated by the Central Army's thunderbolts. There are many gaps. Xu Rong's retreat looked very reasonable.
Before Xu Rong retreated, he also plundered the city with his troops, and plundered a large amount of gold and silver from some of the families close to the Yuan family.
Sun Jian's men and horses were the closest to Xingyang City, and they were the first to discover that Xu Rong was retreating, and Sun Jian hurriedly sent someone to inform Jin Liang, who said that the Central Army and Sun Jian's troops were too tired to attack the city, and they could no longer raise troops to pursue Xu Rong's deserters. Let Sun Jian inform the alliance leader Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao had already led the troops to the vicinity of Xingyang City with other princes of the family, when Yuan Shao heard Sun Jian say that Xu Rong was preparing to withdraw from Xingyang City overnight, he couldn't help but light up, could it be said that the crusade against Dong Zhuo really had the possibility of success, so he summoned Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and other princes of the family to discuss together. Discuss whether or not to continue the march.
Previously, Xu Rong's army defeated Wang Kuang, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin in Xingyang, and these princes were afraid of Xu Rong and did not dare to march. Now Xu Rong took the initiative to withdraw from Xingyang City, most likely because Xu Rong was disabled by the Jinliang Central Army before this, and felt that he could not defend Xingyang City.
These princes of the family felt that their opportunity to become famous in the world had come, and they couldn't do it if they fought hard against the Xiliang cavalry like the Jinliang Central Army, but they still did it after pursuing Xu Rong and beating the water dogs. Several family disciples who escaped from Xingyang City confirmed the news that Xu Rong abandoned the city and fled, and also strengthened the confidence of Yuan Shao and others to pursue Xu Rong's remnants, because Xu Rong took a lot of gold and silver from Xingyang City.
Under the supervision of Cao Cao, each of the princes of Yuan Shao and these families ordered the elite soldiers of their headquarters, a total of more than 80,000 people, and marched together to pursue Xu Rong's tens of thousands of remnants.
Jin Liang and Sun Jian led the troops into Xingyang City, and Sun Jian, in accordance with Jin Liang's instructions, led the troops to raid the homes of some families in Xingyang City on the charge of fornicating with Dong thieves, and divided them into two together with some of the baggage that Xu Rong did not have time to take away, with Jin Liang's central army getting half and Sun Jian getting half.
Subsequently, Jin Liang ordered everyone to recuperate, recuperate, and prepare for the critical moment.
The west of Xingyang City, 30 miles, is the water, the water out of the eastern foot of the floating drama, successively into the Cheguan water, Yang Lanshui, Pushui and the north flow, and then into the Xingyang realm, through its west, the north flow into the Yellow River, Han Liu Bang four years, Chu Sima Cao blamed for the defeat of the Han soldiers, killed himself on this water.
Thirty miles west of the water, is the famous tiger prison pass, according to legend, Zhou Mu Wang Ji is full of hunting in the garden, when the entourage plunders the forest and frightens the beast, suddenly sees a tiger wandering in the reeds, the day is coming, the seven elite people are high Ben Rong sheng to catch the tiger and sacrifice the sky, the life is Sheng, the east of the animal, it is said that the tiger prison, the name of the tiger prison, since then also.
When Yuan Shao led the elite army of 80,000 princes of the Kwantung family to Bishui, it was nearly five watches, and the sky was getting brighter, Xu Rong crossed the river in the dark, most of them had crossed the river, and some remnants were still crossing the river.
Those princes of the family saw that both sides of the west bank of the road were full of dense forests, and they were afraid that there would be an ambush, and they were afraid that they would fall like Cao Cao and Bao Xin, so they hesitated, but the soldiers below them saw that Xu Rong's rear army cart fell to the ground, scattering gold and silver all over the ground, and under the rising sun, it emitted brilliant gold and silver light. Most of these Kwantung soldiers did not have strict military discipline, and when the main general was still hesitating whether to attack or not, they saw that Qian was open-minded, and swarmed up, chasing Xu Rong's rear army along the pontoon bridge that Xu Rong's army had no time to destroy.
When Xu Rong's rear army saw the frenzied killing of the ASEAN army, they all abandoned the baggage carts and fled in panic.
The non-commissioned officers of the Guan Strait put the gold and silver discarded in their pockets, and continued to pursue, because Xu Rong's more than 30,000 remnants kept running in the direction of Tiger Pass, constantly throwing away armor and gold and silver property.
Seeing that most of the soldiers were frantically pursuing, these princes of the family saw that there was no ambush in the dense forests on both sides for a long time, so they rushed across the water from the pontoon bridge with confidence. In the end, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers also led their men and horses across the river, Yuan Shu was in charge of grain and grass and should stay in the rear, but he excused himself that this time in the past, it was the soldiers who entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and they were about to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and of course the grain and grass had to keep up.
Cao Cao had always had lingering fears since he was defeated by Xu Rong, and he gathered his own and Bao Xin's 7,000 remnants of the army, and urged the men and horses of the other princes to cross the river as a general of Fenwu, so he suspended the crossing on the pretext that there were too many wounded soldiers under his command.
The dense forest on the west bank of the river stretched for more than ten miles, and Liu Dai and Qiao Mao's men and horses continued to chase Xu Rong's men and horses, and they had just come out of the dense forest.
A poignant and long horn sounded, and a large area of Xiliang cavalry suddenly turned out on both sides of the dense forest, and each Xiliang cavalry is currently a heavy ironclad cavalry with people wearing iron armor and horses wearing horse armor, and the official road in the middle of the dense forest is very wide, with seven or eight zhang in full, and there is a slight downward slope leading to the water, which is suitable for the heavy armored ironclad cavalry.
As soon as the heavily armored ironclad cavalry was deployed, it swept over like a landslide and tsunami, and died when it touched it, and died next to it.
The Guan ASEAN sergeants, who were already picking up the spoils discarded by Xu Rong's deserters, could not form an array, and they could not organize a spear formation like the Central Army in a hurry, and they did not have strong crossbowmen like the Central Army, so they were powerless to stop the ironclad cavalry from wreaking havoc on them.
2,000 ironclad cavalry rushed into the Guanqi army, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, unstoppable to kill a bloody way, some clever Guanqian soldiers fled to both sides of the ironclad cavalry charge, but they could not escape the pursuit of the Xiliang light cavalry that followed.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry stepped wildly through the bodies of the ASEAN soldiers, and countless allied soldiers were knocked to the ground by the Iron Cavalry, blood spurted out of their mouths, and they screamed and fell under the hooves of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, their weapons fell to the ground, and their hands stretched forward weakly, but their arms were crushed by the thick hooves of the later Iron Cavalry.
Some of the Allied soldiers who dodged to the side were glad that they had escaped the ravages of the iron cavalry, but they were pierced through their bodies by the spears of the speeding Xiliang light cavalry, and the Xiliang light cavalry threw the allied allied soldiers to the ground, and then trampled them on horseback.
Most of the allied troops came from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou, and these states did not produce war horses, so the allied cavalry was very small, and when they encountered cavalry on this flat land, they were only abused.
The ironclad cavalry was unstoppable, and the Xiliang light cavalry behind was also unstoppable, because all the obstacles were swept away by their two young gods of war, and all the allied generals who dared to organize the allied soldiers to block the impact of the Xiliang cavalry either died under Yan Xing's spear or Zhang Xiu's spear. Yan Xing's spear is strange, Zhang Xiu's spear is changeable, and the two are perfectly combined, sweeping away all the generals of the Kwantung Army who claim to be fierce generals.
Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai beheaded several people in a row, and finally stabilized the formation of Yanzhou's military horses, but was dispersed by the men and horses of Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, who took the lead in the rout.
Liu Dai was already very disgusted with Qiao Mao, Dongjun was under the rule of Yanzhou, but Qiao Mao repeatedly offended Liu Dai, had no respect for Liu Dai, and refused to supply grain and grass, Liu Dai had already had the heart to get rid of Qiao Mao, and now seeing that Qiao Mao took the lead in escaping, he rode his horse and rushed forward, taking advantage of Qiao Mao's inattention, cut off Qiao Mao's head with a knife, and then shouted: "Those who dare to retreat are killed!" β
How can Qiao Mao's subordinates have Qiao Mao's diehards, they are not only angry at Liu Dai for killing their lord, but also hate Liu Dai for blocking their way of escape, obviously Liu Dai's men and horses are far less fierce than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, these Dongjun soldiers killed the red-eyed, rushed to Liu Dai's Yanzhou soldiers: "Dare to kill our lord, dare to block our way of life, go to death!" β
Liu Dai (?) -192), the word Gongshan, a native of Donglai Muping (now northwest of Fushan, Shandong), a relative of the Han family, the son of Liu Yu, the brother of Liu Xuan, one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, the official to the Shizhong, Yanzhou Assassin History.
Liu Dai's uncle Liu Chong once served as the imperial lieutenant of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Dai himself served as a servant in the Han Dynasty and the assassin of Yanzhou.
In the first month of 190 A.D. (the first year of the First Ping), a group of heroes from all over the country rose up and played the banner of fighting against Dong, including: Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin.
At that time, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuangtun soldiers in Hanoi, and Zhang Yang also led thousands of people to take refuge; Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi and Bao Xintun soldiers were sour dates, and Cao Cao belonged to Zhang Miao's army; Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang, and Sun Jian rushed from Changsha to join Yuan Shu; Kong Lingtun Bing Yingchuan; Han Fu stayed in Yecheng and gave the coalition army rations. All the heroes elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Later, Liu Dai had a discord with Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, and finally Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao and renamed Wang Qiu as Dongjun Taishou.
Liu Dai also made peace with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao let his family live in Liu Dai's residence, and Gongsun Zhan also sent his subordinate Fan Fang to lead the army to assist Liu Dai. After that, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan had a conflict, and after defeating Yuan Shao's army, Gongsun Chan asked Liu Dai to cut off contact with Yuan Shao, and said to Fan Fang: "If Liu Dai doesn't drive Yuan Shao's family away, you will lead the army back." When I destroy Yuan Shao, I will attack Liu Dai. Liu Dai couldn't make a decision for several days, and his other driver Wang Yu told Liu Dai that it was better to ask Cheng Yu. So Liu Dai summoned Cheng Yu and asked him about his strategy, Cheng Yu persuaded Liu Dai that it was better to help Yuan Shao, Liu Dai listened to his strategy, and sure enough, Gongsun Zhan was defeated by Yuan Shao soon after.
In the third year of Chuping (192), the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked Yanzhou, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, planned to send troops to meet it, Bao Xin dissuaded him: "Now there are many enemies, the people are afraid and uneasy, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, obviously our army can not immediately resist the enemy, according to my observation, there are many family members of the enemy, and there is an extreme shortage of grain and grass materials in the army, and they rely on looting to maintain supplies." Now the countermeasure, instead of rushing to attack, it is better to let the troops recuperate, first take the defense, the enemy can not seek battle, and the strong attack will only increase the casualties, and when its momentum is low, we can defeat them by sending elite attacks. Liu Dai did not accept Bao Xin's advice and insisted on fighting, but was defeated and killed. γ
Qiao Mao (?) -190), an official at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The character Yuanwei is a native of Suiyang (now Shangqiu, Henan).
