Chapter 272: Simbi's Offering
Three days later, Cao Ju led 30,000 soldiers and horses to leave Luoyang, and the news was kept very secret until Cao Ju sent troops and the people of Luoyang City gathered on the streets. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Luoyang, Cao Ju has been regarded by the people as their protectors, although many times, they are oppressed, and even like Zou Yu, the family has been wiped out. However, at least Cao Ju can avenge them, even if he only kills those soldiers who did it himself, but he can't touch the real murderer, but for the people, he is already very content, and he is very grateful to Dade.
Cao Ju suddenly led his troops away, so that the people of Luoyang City couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but in Luoyang City, no one dared to say anything, until Cao Ju's army left the east gate of Luoyang, a few old men dared to stop Cao Ju's army, and wanted to ask why Cao Ju left suddenly.
The sergeant originally wanted to drive those old men away, but Cao Ju stopped them, came to him on horseback, dismounted and explained to the old men in person: "A few old men, you are alone on the orders of Your Majesty to crusade against the Kwantung rebels, not to leave Luoyang. ”
Several old men couldn't help but relax when they heard that Cao Ju was not leaving Luoyang, but they were worried, and one of them said: "The horse is in Luoyang, if we have suffering, we can go to the horse mansion, but the horse is out on the expedition, where should we go to avenge our suffering?" ”
Cao Ju said with a smile: "Uncle, please rest assured, although Lone is not in Luoyang, the Horse Mansion is still a place for the suffering to seek justice, and Lone has already made arrangements." ”
Only then did a few old men put their minds at ease and let people take out the prepared water and wine to practice for Cao Ju, and then they made way of the road and let Cao Ju lead the army through.
In ancient times, when the three armies were not moved, the grain and grass went first, so as soon as Luoyang City began to transfer grain and grass, the news was already known by the spies of the Kwantung princes.
It's just that almost everyone believes that Dong Zhuo must have sent a large army south this time, and he was ashamed of Xuehu's defeat.
Sun Jian was the same, although he didn't take Dong Zhuo's army into account on the surface, but secretly stepped up the training of soldiers, hoarded wave grass, and waited for Dong Zhuo's army's second expedition to Luyang.
The leading general turned out to be Cao Ju, which everyone didn't expect, and it simply stunned the princes of the world, regardless of whether it was from the alliance or from the sidelines.
Then, Cao Ju did not go out of the south gate of Luoyang, but went out of the east gate of Luoyang, which surprised the princes of the world.
Kong Ling, after Cao Ju's army left the east gate of Luoyang, the princes of the world reacted, Cao Ju led the army to fight, not to fight Sun Jian, but to fight Kong Ling.
After Kong Ling got the news, he was shocked and hurriedly gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
A young general stood up and said loudly: "Don't panic, Lord Assassin, once you give the last general 3,000 soldiers and horses, you will definitely cut off the head of Cao Ju and sacrifice it to your lord." ”
Kong Ling raised his eyes to look, but it was the general Zhao Li, and his face couldn't help but sink, and he shouted: "Cao Ju has the merit of calming and cooling, and there are Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals under his command, how can you be an enemy, and you don't retreat quickly." ”
Zhao Li was not convinced, hugged his fists, and said loudly: "My lord, the last general is willing to make a military order, if he can't kill that Cao Ju, he will come to see him." ”
Kong Ling was about to say something more, when a young man with a short beard stood up on the left hand side and said: "Lord Fujun, although Cao Ju has the merit of calming and cooling, he is the commander of General Huangfu, as for Dian Wei and Huang Zhong and other fierce generals, they have only heard of it. ”
Kong Ling was stunned for a moment, groaned for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, since George said so, Benzhou will allow you to ask for battle, but 3,000 soldiers are too few, Benzhou allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to Yangcheng to meet Cao Ju." ”
This place in Yangcheng is relatively interesting, after the disbandment of the Dong coalition army in history, the only battle between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers was in this place.
After Yuan Shu's nominal subordinate Sun Jian captured the abandoned capital Luoyang, he returned triumphantly and became embroiled in a personal feud between the two Yuans, who had been allies of Dong. Yuan Shaojun, under the leadership of the general Zhou Qiao, initially gained the upper hand over Sun Jian's army, but in the end he was still defeated by Sun Jian's counterattack.
Zhao Li was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged his fists, and said loudly again: "The last general will be ordered." ”
Zhao Li went out happily, but Kong Ling was a little worried, and turned his head to Xin Bi and asked, "George, Zhao Li is going, how is the victory or defeat?" ”
Xin Bi smiled faintly and said, "There is no doubt about defeat." ”
"Ah......" Kong Ling was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Since George knows that he will be defeated, why does he still want to protect his army to face Cao Juye?" ”
Xin Bi sighed and said: "Lord Fujun, Cao Ju has a large number of soldiers under his command, and Lord Fujun has a large number of soldiers at best, but there are no generals. Therefore, Zhao Li led the army to go, but it was only to block the eastward advance of Cao Ju's army, and the lord should take the opportunity to quickly ask for reinforcements. ”
Kong Ling was stunned for a moment and asked, "George, where should Benzhou ask for help?" ”
Xin Bi shook his head secretly in his heart, Kong Ling is really not the master of the Ming, southwest of Yingchuan, is Luyang, where Sun Jian's army is stationed; To the north of Yingchuan, there are sour dates, and there are several armies such as Zhang Miao stationed, and Kong Gongxu still has such a question.
Since then, Xin Bi has had the heart to leave Kong Ling, and in history, after the princes ended their discussion of Dong, he joined his brother Xin Ping and took refuge with Yuan Shao.
Xin Bi hugged his fists and said: "Lord Fujun can send two people with letters, one to Nanyang Yuan Shu, Yuan Highway will be a wide general, if he is willing to send troops, Cao Ju will not dare to attack Yingchuan first." Another letter was sent to the sour date, and the princes of the Eleventh Road, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi and Bao Xin were all allotted here, and the strength of the army was by no means something that Cao Ju could deal with. For some reason, as long as there is a way to send troops to Yingchuan, Lord Fujun will have no worries. ”
Kong Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately repaired two letters according to what Xin Bi said, and sent people to Nanyang and sour dates respectively.
Yingchuan's movements, of course, couldn't hide the spies sent by Cao Ju in Yingchuan, he just smiled faintly and didn't pay much attention to it.
Zhao Li is not famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and is estimated to be just a rookie character. As for Kong Ling's distress letter, Yuan Shu will definitely not send troops to rescue him, and although there are six princes in Sour Zao, except for Bao Xin, the other five are not worried.
Moreover, Cao Ju was not in his army at this time, the leader was Cao Chun, and Cao Ju himself took Dian Wei and Gan Ning, as well as fifty personal guards, to Shi A's house and invited Shi A out of the mountain.
During the Three Kingdoms period, in terms of swordsmanship, there were indeed a few masters, such as Liu Bei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Lu Su, Dong Xi, Sun Li, Ling Tong, Cao Pi and others, but the first person in the world was Wang Yue, and the second place was none other than Shi A.
