Chapter 0524: Lu Bu rebelled and plotted against Luoyang
The battle in Xuzhou is stalemate, and the battle in Luoyang, Hanoi, has also begun!
Lu Bu had nowhere to stay, and under the bewitchment of Yuan Shu, he finally decided to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to seize Luoyang.
Luoyang is the land of Wangji, and taking Luoyang is suspected of being a subordinate. Zhang Miao persuaded Lu Bu to think twice, but where was Lu Bu willing to listen, but asked Zhang Miao to send troops to help.
Zhang Miao didn't dare to bear this notoriety, but because of his deep friendship with Lu Bu, he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to secretly support the grain and grass.
Lu Bu was conceited, and he didn't take Zhu Jun stationed in Luoyang in his eyes at all. However, Liu Mang's soldiers and horses in Hedong were strong and had to be guarded.
He ordered Wei Xu and Song Xianhou Cheng to garrison Hangu Pass to prevent the state army from entering the pass to rescue.
Ordered Zhang Liao to be stationed in Pingyin as a backup.
Lu Bu mobilized Gao Shun, Hao Meng and other troops to prepare for Luoyang.
Lu Bu is politically simple-minded, but he also has some brains when he fights with soldiers.
Sitting in Luoyang is the hussar general Qiantang Marquis Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei. As a veteran of the imperial court, Zhu Jun was a famous general in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Have a strategy and make good use of soldiers.
Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the city walls are much higher than ordinary cities.
Lu Bu thought that if Zhu Jun had been prepared, it would be difficult to conquer it with more than 10,000 people on his side, and he had to use other excuses and surprise him to seize Luoyang.
Lu Bu couldn't think of any clever reason, so he only sent troops in the name of pacifying the thieves.
Liu Mang, who was in Hedong, kept an eye on Lu Bu's every move at any time. and sent people to Luoyang many times to remind Zhu Jun to guard against Lu Bu.
Zhu Jun was busy clearing out the bandits around Luoyang, rebuilding the city, and preparing to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven. Although he was reminded by Liu Mang many times, Zhu Jun never believed that Lu Bu dared to do such a rebellious thing, and did not take Lu Bu's threat to heart.
……
Recently, in the south of the city, Yingchuan thieves have frequent activities, and it is He Yi and Liu Pi who secretly took refuge in Nanyang, and in the name of Yuan Shu, they kept harassing to help Lu Bu.
Zhu Jun, as usual, went to the south of the city every day to inspect it. Return to the city and check on the progress of the Imperial City's repairs.
Chang Yuchun came in a hurry.
Chang Yuchun was born in the green forest, familiar with the habits of bandits, and after joining the army. Eliminate thieves, repeatedly make military exploits, and has become Zhu Jun's reliant deputy general.
Coming with Chang Yuchun, there was also a young man dressed as a scholar.
"Zhu Gong, this is the young man who came from Pingyin. There is something important to report! ”
The young man was slender, well-behaved, and had an extraordinary bearing. The rules and regulations saluted, and he said: "Student Fang Qiao, I have seen the hussar general." ”
"But Qinghefang's descendants?"
"Exactly."
The surname Fang is small, "there is no Qinghe in the world", "Seven Liu, eight Zhang, twelve kings, there are no two houses in the world" all show that the surname Fang has a single origin.
Qinghe Fang Zhi served as Sikong in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and although the Fang family was small, it was also a famous family in the late Han Dynasty.
It was none other than someone else who came to see Zhu Jun. It is the descendant of the Fang family, Fang Qiao and Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling has read poetry and books since he was a child, and also studied under Zheng Xuan. Due to the death of the elders in the family, he returned to his hometown to mourn. After taking care of the funeral, he wanted to rush to Hedong to find his teacher Zheng Xuan, passing through Hanoi, seeing that Zhang Miao and Lu Bujun were moving frequently, Fang Xuanling was extremely alert and hurried to Luoyang. Give Zhu Jun a warning.
"No......" Lu Bujun's actions were abnormal, and Fang Xuanling warned him. However, Zhu Jun still couldn't believe that Lu Bu dared to make a rebellious move to seize Luoyang.
"Zhu Gong, Lu Bu is a bad wolf. You can't help but guard against it! "I often meet the spring road.
Zhu Jun pondered for a moment and instructed Chang Yuchun to say: "Lock the gates of Luoyang Zhucheng, and leave only one door on all sides for the people to enter and exit." ”
"No!"
"The city wall of Luoyang is high, even if Lu Feng has a non-dividing idea, it is difficult to storm down, so there is no need to worry about it."
Chang Yuchun and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other. Jin Yan said: "Zhu Gong, although the city wall of Luoyang is high, the total length of the four city walls is more than fifty miles, and there are only more than 3,000 people in our department. You have to think differently and prepare early. ”
That's what Zhu Jun is worried about. Without enough soldiers and horses, it is confirmed that Lu Bu has the intention of seizing Luoyang, and it is difficult to hold on.
"Zhu Gong, the student has a strategy, but Luoyang can be protected."
"Fang Gongzi, please speak."
"Outside Luoyang, there is a lot of abandoned farmland. Recently, many large families have migrated here. Duke Zhu allowed to use land and official positions to recruit soldiers and slaves from large families into the city. If Lu Bu doesn't come, he can supplement the labor of repairing the imperial city, and when Lu Bu attacks, he can go to the city to guard. ”
Zhu Jun nodded lightly, but he still couldn't rest assured.
Luoyang City is too big, even if thousands of people are recruited, it is difficult to meet the needs of defending the city.
"The students have another plan. Although the defenders in Luoyang City were not sufficient, the strength of the Nalu Bu army was not enough to attack from all sides. On this spring day, when the vegetation is luxuriant, the defenders can be ordered to cut the artemisia grass, tie up thousands of straw men, wear clothes and hats, and stand on the city wall. The city wall of Luoyang is tall, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from a distance. Fiction and reality, the straw man and the garrison are interspersed with deployment, Lu Bu does not know the truth and will hesitate. ”
"Very good!"
Zhu Jun was overjoyed, immediately ordered preparations, and sent someone to quickly notify Liu Mang in Hedong to send troops to support. As long as you hold on for ten days and a half months, and the troops from Hedong arrive, Luoyang will have no worries.
"The students are willing to go to Hedong for help."
"There's a farmer."
Chang Yuchun and Mu Ying were ordered to guard the most important Xicheng. In order to avoid the disaster of war for the people outside the city, Mu Ying often went out of the city in the spring and urged the people to take refuge in the city.
At this time, it was the time when spring plowing and farming were busy, and the people were reluctant to leave the land and enter the city.
Chang Yuchun didn't have time to talk more, so he ordered Mu Ying to lead people to forcibly drive him away. "Ask them, do you want to die. Whether they want it or not, let me come in. One more person will come in, and there will be more strength when defending the city. ”
"Okay."
"Wait. Remember to call my sister back, too. ”
Mu Ying's mouth pursed. "Big brother, how can I persuade my sister to try it."
"Tie her back, too!"
……
When Lu Bu's army arrived in Luoyang, he couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw that the four gates of Luoyang City were closed, and the military flags were displayed on the city wall, and the defenders were twice as many as the intelligence said.
Hao Meng said: "Wenhou, in Luoyang City, there can never be so many soldiers and horses, the scout once reported, a few days ago, the Luoyang defenders went out of the city to cut the grass, and the defenders in the city must have fake straw men." ”
Lu Bu didn't know, but he couldn't judge the truth and the falsehood, so he didn't dare to attack rashly.
"Someone, send a letter to the city, and say that I will lead my troops to suppress the thieves, and ask the hussar general to go out of the city and discuss the thief's plan together."
In the city, Zhu Jun received a letter from Lu Bu and knew that he would discuss whether the thief's plan was false and the plot was true.
Chang Yuchun said: "Zhu Gong, don't fall for Lu Bu." ”
Zhu Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I still went out of the city to meet him and persuade him to give up his evil thoughts, but I don't know." ”
"Zhu Gong, Lu Bu's tiger and wolf generation, how can he say that he moves? If he wants to suppress the thief, let him go into the city alone to counsel. ”
Zhu Jun shook his head. "Lu Bu is brave and fierce, and letting him enter the city will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house. The defenders in the city were short of food and grass, and the old man went out of the city to meet him, even if he could not be convinced, he could delay his attack and buy time for the reinforcements from Hedong. ”
"Zhu Gong, it's dangerous!"
Zhu Jun smiled slightly: "The old man has experienced countless dangers in his life, is it still this time?" ”
