Just when the Yan State was immersed in the development of internal affairs and practiced internal skills, the Liang State in the west ushered in its first war, and after Lu Bu became the king, he was eager to show his merits, so Xu Rong sent troops from Michi to attack Hangu Pass, and the Hangu Pass guard would hurriedly ask Yuan Shang who stayed in Luoyang for help. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The original master of Hangu Pass was Chun Yuqiong, and after Yuan Shao became king, Chun Yuqiong was promoted and reused by Yuan Shao and was responsible for guarding the palace, and the original Hangu Pass guard became Jiang Qi.

Yuan Shao built the Wei Palace in Yecheng, the Wei Palace is very majestic, but the main hall has been built at present, and the rest of the rich palaces are still under construction.

Yuan Shang was responsible for the construction of the Wei Palace, in order to speed up the progress of the project, Yuan Shang directly demolished some of the palaces in the north and south of Luoyang, and transported the wood to Yecheng, so as to speed up the construction of the Wei Palace.

Yuan Shang sent all the soldiers in Luoyang to transport wood, and also requisitioned a large number of people, where was the slightest reinforcement sent to Jiang Qi, when receiving Jiang Qi's letter for help, Yuan Shang just replied casually that he would stick to it and not fight.

But Xu Rong's offensive was very fierce, and how could Jiang Qi not fight if he wanted to, under Xu Rong's siege day and night, Jiang Qi complained bitterly, and hurriedly sent a messenger to Yecheng to send a letter for help.

However, without waiting for the messenger to ask for reinforcements, Xu Rong broke through Hangu Pass first, and without Hangu Pass, Luoyang can be said to have become an undefended city, and can only let Lu Bu gallop.

Jiang Qi rushed back to Luoyang with the remnants of the defeated army to report the news, Yuan Shang learned that Hangu Pass was lost, and he was so frightened that he was about to flee, but he was not stupid at all, and he didn't forget to bring Liu He with him before escaping.

After Xu Rong conquered Hangu Pass, Lu Bu immediately led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to ravage Henan, although the gate of the Luoyang Palace was tall, but it could not resist Lu Bu for long, the Wen Chou army stationed in Mengjin galloped to Luoyang, Lu Bu sent Ma Chao to meet the battle, Ma Chao led the Xiliang cavalry, and Wen Chou's command was mostly infantry, not Ma Chao's opponent at all, Wen Chou was defeated by Ma Chao, and retreated to Chenggao.

At this time, Guan Yu of Hanoi took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, sent troops to attack Xingyang, and occupied Xingyang, which was regarded as cutting off Wen Chou's retreat.

Lu Bu's army stormed Luoyang, the defenders in Luoyang City knew that they had been abandoned, the soldiers had no will to fight, and they would have no will to fight, and it didn't take long for someone to open the city gate and surrender to Lu Bu, Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to occupy the Luoyang Palace, and sent Xu Rong to garrison the Tiger Pass, firmly containing the east gate of Luoyang.

When Yuan Shang fled back to Yecheng with Liu He, the puppet emperor, Yuan Shao was almost not angry with him, and he simply didn't eat the tiger, Yuan Shao also knew that this son was too much to use, and immediately let Yan Liang, who was stationed in Yingchuan, attack Xuanyuan Pass, and must not let Luoyang be controlled by Lu Bu.

But Yuan Shao's order was still too late, not to mention Yingchuan, even Yanzhou had been exposed to Lu Bu's iron hooves, so it can be said that a battle between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu was inevitable.

Fortunately, after occupying Luoyang, Lu Bu did not take any other actions except for guarding the Tiger Pass, because there was a problem within Chang'an, and after the loyal ministers of the Han family learned that the eastern capital was recovered, they all asked to return the capital to Luoyang, and the voice above the court was very loud, even in the Xiliang army, there were many people who hoped to return the capital to Luoyang and restore the prestige of the Dong Zhuo period.

After occupying Luoyang, Lu Bu's prestige reached its peak, and no one questioned the fact that the imperial court named Lu Bu as the king of Liang, because the authority of the Western Han court was established again, and the Eastern Han court had already existed in name only, and everyone in the world saw it.

After Guan Yu occupied Xingyang, he did not make any further moves, allowing Wen Chou's lone army to stay in the Chenggao area, and Guan Yu's army stationed in Xingyang was like a nail inserted into Henan, and it was nailed there fiercely.

Although Lu Bu didn't make a move on Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao's reputation as the king of Wei fell to the freezing point, he had to do something, thinking of the grand occasion of the princes of the Nineteenth Road discussing Dong, Yuan Shao thought about it, and now only their sons and daughters are the only ones who really support the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the rest are gone, and now there are only two of them who can be enemies with Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao immediately sent an envoy to Yandu to contact Su Chen, the king of Yan, and Su Chen received Yuan Shao's envoy at Tongquetai.

"Foreign Minister Xu Yu pays a visit to King Yan!" Yuan Shao knew that Xu You and Su Chen had a good relationship, so he specially sent Xu You as an envoy.

"Ziyuan doesn't need to be polite, this king and Ziyuan have been friends for many years, these vulgar etiquette will be waived, I don't know what is important for King Wei to send Ziyuan this time?"

Su Chen's close words made Xu You very useful, and immediately took out Yuan Shao's handwritten letter and handed it to the inner servant, who presented the letter to Su Chen, and after he read it, Xu You said: "After Lu Bu occupied Luoyang, the majesty of the imperial court was gone, and the King of Wei wanted to form two countries and two armies with the King of Yan, imitating the princes of the Nineteenth Route in the past to fight against Dong, and jointly attack Lu Bu. ”

"This ......" Su Chen pretended to hesitate and said: "Ziyuan doesn't know, my Yan State has just recovered Yangzhou, and there have been constant wars over the years, spending money and grass on grain, and now the money and food in internal affairs are already beyond their means, not to mention sending a large army to join forces with the Wei State, it is very reluctant to support an army of tens of thousands of people, not to mention that Wuhuan in the eastern Liaodong region of my country is in trouble, and there is really no spare strength to send troops." ”

Su Chen's words made Xu You embarrassed, but he didn't let Xu You not come to the stage, and then said: "Why don't Ziyuan live in my Yandu now, and after this king and your subordinates discuss, how about giving Ziyuan an answer?" Ziyuan used to work hard, and tonight the king held a banquet in Tongquetai to wash the dust for Ziyuan. ”

"Thank you, King Yan!"

Su Chen asked Guo Jia to come forward to receive Xu You, Guo Jia led Xu You down, and said: "Brother Ziyuan, King Yan attaches great importance to you, don't you know, after this Tongque Platform was built, King Yan has never held a banquet alone because of anyone, tonight King Yan chose to pick up the wind for Ziyuan in Tongque Terrace, it can be said that we are all stained with Ziyuan's light." ”

"Hahahaha." Xu You was complimented by him like this, and he was really overjoyed, and replied unceremoniously: "Feng Xiao doesn't know, I used to be friends with King Yan and King Wei, and I often sat and drank together, and King Yan should treat me like this." ”

"That's, that's, don't hide it from Brother Ziyuan, this means that you are an envoy, if you change someone, King Yan may not necessarily see him, you don't know, our Yan Kingdom really can't take out money and food to support a big war now, hey, outsiders only know the majesty of King Yan, but they don't know the suffering of King Yan, Brother Ziyuan is a friend of King Yan, and he should say a few words for King Yan in front of King Wei."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Xu You agreed without hesitation: "Fengxiao, don't worry, isn't it just grain, grass and ordnance, our Wei country is very rich, and there is no need to worry about food and salary." ”

"That's good, that's good!"
