Chapter 318: Yuan Shao wants to set up a Hongmen banquet
Xu Rong led all the troops of Hujiao Pass to surrender to Su Chen, including the 100,000 infantry directly under Xu Rong's command and the tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry brought by Lü Bu from Luoyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although some of them died in battle and escaped, this part of the Xiliang cavalry still has close to 50,000 people, such a large cavalry team, Su Chen does not dare to slack off, if it is not good to mutiny, even he can't suppress it.
After Yuan Shao entered the customs, his face darkened when he saw the neat tens of thousands of Xiliang iron riders, but he ignored it and went directly to Luoyang with Yan Liang.
There is still one Chen Palace left in Luoyang, presumably the news of Lu Bu's capture has reached Luoyang, as for how Chen Gong responds, it depends on him.
Su Chen did not go to Luoyang with Yuan Shao, but stayed in the Tiger Prison Pass to rectify the tens of thousands of cavalry.
"Wen Yuan, if you are asked to reorganize this cavalry, how much time will you need?"
"At least half a month!" Zhang Liao said in embarrassment: "Lord Wang, the number of Han Ying is similar to that of the Xiliang cavalry now, even if it is broken up and reorganized, it will take half a month, otherwise it will be difficult to control this group of arrogant soldiers." ”
"This king does not intend to disrupt this cavalry, but as a separate combat group, in this king's plan, the attack methods of the Xiliang cavalry are different from the Han Ying light cavalry, and this king intends to build the Xiliang cavalry into a heavy cavalry."
"Heavy cavalry? Is it like a wolf ride? ”
"Yes, no, the heavy cavalry mainly relies on strong impact and excellent defense, in the future our battlefield is in the north, the north is the main battlefield of the cavalry, these tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry, this king hopes to be able to select 30,000 heavy cavalry from it, as for the name of this heavy cavalry, it is called golden armor!"
Hearing the name of the golden armor and Su Chen's idea of the heavy cavalry, Zhang Liao longed for it, but he also knew that such a heavy cavalry team would definitely not be commanded by him, and Han Ying was formed by him, so he was really reluctant to leave this army.
Su Chen didn't think about letting Zhang Liao command the Jinjia Heavy Cavalry, the command of the Jinjia Heavy Cavalry does not have to be very high martial arts, but it must be a wise general who understands strategy, not a fierce general who can only charge into battle, he has no suitable candidate for a while, he can only want to let the military aircraft look for it.
Zhang Liao was busy rectifying the prisoners, mainly the Xiliang cavalry, these arrogant soldiers, many of them were Qiang, and it was very troublesome to rectify, but fortunately, most of the Han shadows were Sinicized Hu people, which had an unexpected effect.
Su Chen appeased Xu Rong again, named him the former general, the deputy governor of Youzhou, and named the Luoyang Army for the 100,000 infantry army under his command, because this army was established on the basis of the original Luoyang soldiers, this Luoyang Army cost Xu Rong ten years of work, and the combat effectiveness was very strong.
"General Xu, how long do you think Luoyang City can hold out?" The reason why he didn't attack Luoyang with Yuan Shao was that in addition to avoiding eating too ugly, he didn't want to consume the lives of his soldiers in vain.
"Hold on?" Hearing these two words, Xu Rong smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, Chen Gongtai has already escorted King Liang's family out of Luoyang." ”
"It can't be!" Su Chen would never believe that Chen Gong would leave Luoyang, besides, where would Chen Gong go after leaving Luoyang?
"King Yan doesn't know, the Xiliang army is a group of arrogant generals, except for Lu Bu, no one can suppress them, after Lu Bu was captured, the Xiliang army has no leader, if the Xiliang army in the Tiger Prison Pass is not guarded by my army, I am afraid that it will be a disaster for a long time."
"There are still more than 100,000 Xiliang troops in Luoyang City, and it is impossible for Chen Gong to master this force, so I assert that Chen Gong has left Luoyang, and as for where to go, it should go to Hedong. Hedong Taishou Zhang Ji has received the great favor of King Liang, Chen Gong has gone to the end of the road to take refuge, it is impossible for Zhang Ji not to take in, as for the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, except for burning, killing and looting, I really can't think of anything else,"
Hearing Xu Rong's analysis, Su Chen was a little shocked, if the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops were really a disaster for the three auxiliary places, it would indeed be the end of the people of Luoyang, and now he only hoped that Yuan Shao could stop these chaotic troops.
Yuan Shao led the army to Luoyang, the gate of Luoyang City was opened, no one guarded it at all, Yan Liang led the army into Luoyang City first, but found that Luoyang City was full of burning and looting soldiers, the streets were full of smoke, horses' hooves were raging, Yan Liang sent people to report to Yuan Shao, while chasing and killing these Xiliang rebels.
"Kill!"
When the Xiliang rebels saw Yan Liang coming over, they panicked and galloped wildly, and the infantry could only be fantastical if they wanted to catch up with the cavalry, even if the Xiliang rebels were leaderless and did not have much combat effectiveness, it was still not something that Yan Liang could chase.
After Yuan Shao got the news, he did not order Yan Liang to chase and kill the remnants, but asked him to quickly occupy the major city gates of Luoyang and lock the Xiliang army in the city to capture prisoners.
Yan Liang carried out Yuan Shao's order to the letter, but there were many gates in Luoyang, and the Xiliang army had already been scattered and fled, and after Yan Liang occupied all the city gates, the Xiliang army in the city was less than 20,000.
The Western Liang army that escaped went to the east and west, some fled to Hedong to join Zhangji, and some directly surrendered to Yan Xing in Hangu Pass, and some surrendered to Yuan Shao, and even Hanoi also appeared a large force of the Western Liang army, which was finally captured by Guan Yu, and the rest fled in all directions, burning and looting all the way, either eliminated by the local officials and soldiers, or gathered in the mountains and forests.
The Xiliang Legion of the Mighty Han Dynasty was dispersed like this, and it was Su Chen who got the most benefits, not only won Xu Rong's 100,000 Luoyang Army for nothing, but also surrendered tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry, it can be said that the Xiliang cavalry under his command is the largest number.
After Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang City, he entered the palace again, and his eyes were full of devastation, and the Luoyang Palace changed hands several times, all of which were intact, but this time the Xiliang Rebellion destroyed a lot of palaces, but fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time, although it caused some damage, but it was not bad overall.
Yuan Shao sat directly on the dragon chair, at this moment, Yuan Shao suddenly had a feeling of looking at the world, the famous Lu Bu was wiped out by him, and he was close to the throne of the Ninety-Five.
It's just that there is a person who makes him sleep and eat uncomfortably, this person is none other than Su Chen, Su Chen has become his great enemy, if Su Chen is eradicated, Yuan Shao will be able to dream of the ninety-five position with peace of mind.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Su Chen should be eradicated as soon as possible, Tian Feng under his command had always attached great importance to Su Chen, Yuan Shao summoned him alone, and said: "Yuan Hao, this king wants to hold a banquet in the palace to invite King Yan, this king and King Yan are righteous brothers, and their love is as deep as the sea, this king wants to leave King Yan in the palace as a companion, I don't know what Yuan Hao taught me?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao in surprise, seeing Yuan Shao's solemn expression, Tian Feng was secretly happy, it seemed that King Wei was finally going to make a move on King Yan, and immediately said his thoughts.
