Chapter 158: Dong Thief, Cao Cao has been waiting for a long time
Sure enough, when he heard the position of the general and the large number of materials that were being burned in the fire in Luoyang City, Sun Jian was moved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, what Sun Jian was interested in, in addition to the nominal position of general, was mainly the large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, grain and grass materials in the imperial capital.
In Sun Jian's mind, since Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to flee west, he must be very embarrassed, even if he took some supplies from Luoyang, it was definitely not all.
As long as he Sun Jian drove into Luoyang City, wouldn't all the remaining materials in the city become his Sun Jian's?
Sun Jian didn't think about handing over those supplies to the allies or the imperial court!
"Most of our troops are infantry troops, and the cavalry is only 5,000, so it is naturally impossible to pursue and kill Dong Zhuo." Sun Jian groaned.
Sun Jian said this, and fools know his choice.
Cao Cao laid out in his words, and after luring Sun Jian to be fooled, he immediately followed the big snake and said: "What Cao brought is all fine horses!" ”
"Can General Sun lend all the cavalry to Cao, and then I, Cao Cao, will chase and kill Dong Zhuo with the fine cavalry, and General Sun will drive into Luoyang City with the infantry army?"
Sun Jian originally intended to make this choice, but he was a little worried that after the cavalry was borrowed by Cao Cao, it would not be returned.
However, when he thought that there were still mountains of supplies waiting for him in Luoyang City, Sun Jian didn't care whether Cao Cao would return his cavalry.
Besides, Sun Jian knew that although Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials to flee westward, there were still 20,000 Xiliang Jing cavalry guards around him, plus the original defenders of Luoyang City, it was difficult to say whether Cao Cao was going to rescue the Son of Heaven this time, or whether he would fight the dog with meat buns!
……
From Sun Jian's hands, Cao Cao "temporarily borrowed" 5,000 Jiangdong cavalry as he wished, and then left with Sun Jian.
Sun Jian's army continued to rest in the camp, and only sent a vanguard, led by the eldest Sun Ce, to Luoyang City to test the waters.
Cao Cao took more than 10,000 cavalry, bypassed Luoyang City, and went straight to Kunshan near Hangu Pass.
……
Kun Mountain, also known as Sankun Mountain, is the remaining vein of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains; It is only more than 20 miles away from Hangu Pass, but it is 60 or 70 miles away from Luoyang, and it is the necessary place to pass from Luoyang to Hangu Pass.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the straight road from Luoyang to Chang'an has always passed through the Kunshan Mountain, and then passed through Hangu Pass and Tongguan.
To go to Chang'an, Orion or three or five warriors, go over the mountains and mountains to the point that you don't have to go to Kunshan and Hangu Pass, as well as Tongguan. But if the army wants to go back and forth between Luoyang and Chang'an, it must pass through Hangu Pass.
This is also the throat of Hangu Pass and Tongguan to choke the Central Plains.
And Kunshan is on the road to Hangu Pass.
The terrain of the mountains is far less dangerous than that of Hangu. If it weren't for the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Xiang of Jin had been completely annihilated here, and the Qin State attacked the vanguard army of the Zheng State. Hao Meng estimates that Mt. Kunshan will also be buried in the dust of history like those seemingly dangerous mountains and rivers.
After all, twenty miles away from the Kuoshan Mountain, there is the Hangu Pass, where the terrain is more dangerous, and the Kuoshan Mountain has long become insignificant after the completion of the Hangu Pass.
Hao Meng didn't know the history of Kunshan Mountain, but Cao Cao, who accompanied him, read through the "Historical Records". Cao Cao doesn't know anything about these "historical places" in Guanzhong, but he also knows a thing or two.
Hao Meng and Cao Cao planned the plan of "snatching food from the tiger's mouth", so they naturally had to find a favorable terrain and chase after them, so that Dong Zhuo could abandon his baggage and flee to Hangu Pass in a panic.
Of course, it would be better if you could easily kill Dong Zhuo!
There are only eighty or ninety miles from Luoyang to Hangu Pass, and most of them are straight roads, and only Kunshan can be used.
Originally, Cao Cao was still a little worried that Dong Zhuo would leave Luoyang City early and go straight to Hangu Pass.
It wasn't until they bypassed Luoyang City far away that the sentry cavalry discovered that the Xiliang Army had just left Luoyang City.
In this way, Cao Cao, who ran to the front, had enough time to lay out and prepare a surprise for Dong Zhuo.
……
Most of the Xiliang troops around Dong Zhuo were elite cavalry, even if they were originally stationed in Luoyang, more than 20,000 infantry troops became cavalry after riding war horses, but they did not have the elite of Xiliang elite cavalry.
The coerced Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, they originally had their own special cars, even if their families couldn't squeeze in for a while, didn't they still have the chariots of the Xiliang Army?
Dong Zhuo said that his one or two thousand chariots, by the way, sat eight thousand people, which was really not too crowded.
The ministers also said that they "don't mind too much" to let their families crowd into the chariot, after all, it's time to move west, isn't it?
Whether it's in a chariot, or in an ox cart, or on horseback, the speed is naturally much faster than on foot.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's journey to the west is also much faster than in history and romance.
Dong Zhuo in history moved westward, and he traveled only twenty or thirty miles a day, and the hundreds of officials and family members who followed him really didn't want to be too miserable, and those who died of hunger followed, all the way into Chang'an City.
And now, without the drag of the walkers, the westward march has to advance one or twenty miles every hour, to say the least.
Looking at the long westward migration procession, Dong Zhuo felt that there was no problem in rushing to Hangu Pass before sunset.
As long as he enters Hangu Pass, he Dong Zhuo can sit back and relax.
Looking at the direction of Tiger Pass, Dong Zhuo knew that fifty miles away, there was a contingent of ASEAN troops stationed there. When he received the report from the sentinel cavalry this morning, Dong Zhuo knew that it was Sun Jian's vanguard army.
Thinking of Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo thought of Sun Ce, and then felt that his neck began to feel cold.
However, Dong Zhuo soon sneered.
Although he, Dong Zhuo, was forced to evacuate Luoyang City, there was still a pit prepared in the city, waiting for the allies to jump it.
Since Sun Jian came over in such a hurry, it seems that it would be good if he could trap Sun Ce.
……
The westward migration of the Xiliang army started from Luoyang at noon, and it was only more than 20 miles away from Hangu Pass in the evening. It only takes more than an hour for the westward migration team to be able to enter Hangu Pass.
Although there were constant situations along the way, and even some officials deserted, Hanguguan was in sight after all, and even the coerced officials were subconsciously relieved in their hearts.
The straight road passed at the foot of the Kuo Mountain, and the Xiliang army was not very prepared.
After all, this place is sixty or seventy miles away from Luoyang, but it is only twenty miles away from Hangu Pass, and on Hangu Pass, there are more than 10,000 Xiliang elites stationed.
No one would have thought that the Allies would be ambushing in this place.
Besides, Mt. Kun is just a hill with a radius of three or five miles, and there are not many people in ambush. The straight road passes at the foot of the Kuo Mountain, and the section of the road that is really likely to be ambushed is only two or three miles.
However, just as Dong Zhuo was about to pass through the straight road at the foot of the mountain, there were drums and trumpets on the mountain, shouts, rocks rolled down, thousands of arrows were fired, and all kinds of spells were sprinkled without money.
The straight road at the foot of the mountain was quickly blocked.
When the Xiliang Army panicked, an arrogant voice that made Dong Zhuo grit his teeth sounded on a big stone: "Dong thief, Cao Cao has been waiting for a long time!" ”
