A camp of chaos and war.

Chen Gong was slightly distracted at a certain moment.

Even when Lu Bu rejected his plan to attack Luoyang City, he never thought that the Bingzhou army would be defeated three hours later.

Since entering the Bingzhou Army for so long, he has become accustomed to Lu Bu's invincibility in the world.

All this is like the heat wave brought about by the war at this time, which can be felt, but it is so unreal.

The first to storm the camp of the state army was the defeated Hun army.

The camp of the Xiongnu army and the camp of the Bingzhou army were not in the same place, and after the rout of the front line, Hu Chuquan did not return to his camp with his troops, but led the defeated army to storm the camp of the Bingzhou army.

He knew very well that Lu Bu was finished, and his performance at both ends of the snake and mouse in Luoyang City, not to mention what the imperial court would do to him, if Lu Bu, who was closest to him, returned to Bingzhou, he would definitely have to settle accounts with himself. Only by letting Lu Bu lose more miserably at this time, will their Huns be safer in the future.

Many years later, Hu Chuquan will still feel complacent about his sudden decision, because Lu Bu, who lost all his money under Luoyang City, did not dare to do anything to them after returning to Merge State.

Chen Gong, who stayed in the camp, faced the huge chaos in front of him, and there was actually not much to solve it. Although he was deeply trusted by Lu Bu, he was always a strategist. In terms of control over the army, they are not even as strong as Cao Xing and Song Xian.

Therefore, Chen Gong simply abandoned the camp and took his personal guards to meet the defeated soldiers to find Lu Bu. first joined with Wei Xu and Song Xian, who were wounded and defeated, and gathered some soldiers and horses. finally found Lu Bu, who was defeated and retreated under Cao Xing's escort.

At this time, Lu Bu was already injured and unconscious, and no matter how Chen Gong called, he didn't respond.

Cao Xing, whose face was covered with blood, said to Chen Gong in a panic: "The general and Captain Hao (Hao Meng) were both seriously injured, and Hou Cheng was also killed in battle. Now that the chasing army is coming, Mr. Wang has made a plan early. ”

Chen Gong said helplessly: "Let's escort the general to leave first." ”

Everyone protected the wounded Lu Bu Hao Meng and led the remnants around the camp. fought and retreated, and on the way, he met Gao Shun, who led a part of the trapped camp. The two sides joined forces in one place, and the pursuers did not retreat until they were defeated and retreated to Gongxian.

Chen Gong and the others didn't dare to stay long in Gong County, gathered the remnants all the way, and only dared to rest when they marched to W County.

Taking stock of the losses, the grain and grass are gone, the main generals Lu Bu and Hao Meng are also seriously injured, Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng are killed in battle, and half of the wolf cavalry and trapped camp in Bingzhou are lost, and the entire Bingzhou army is demoralized and panicked.

From the majestic and majestic army of Bingzhou, to the invincible along the way, until the city of Luoyang collapsed. For the people of the state army, the speed is like a dream, and the taste is really hard to say.

On the one hand, Chen Gong and Gao Shun taught doctors to rescue the wounded such as Lu Bu and Hao Meng, and on the other hand, they sent soldiers to collect grain and grass and contact other lost soldiers and horses. And Lu Bu led the Xiongnu into the Central Plains all the way to burn and loot, many Hanoi scholars hated it to the core, and now the state army is defeated, naturally to fall into the ground, many mountain bandits or the private armed forces of the powerful landlords continue to harass and attack, Chen Gong and others soon can not stay in W County, and the army continues to retreat to the state.

When passing by Jishui, he was caught up by Guan Yu, who came to beat the water dogs, thanks to Gao Shun leading the trapped camp to fight to the death, resisting the attack of the northern army, Chen Gong and others crossed Jishui safely. When they entered the annexed state, there were less than twenty remnants of the remaining army.

The defeat of the state army under the city of Luoyang caught everyone in the world off guard. I think that at the beginning, Lu Bu strung up at a meteor-like speed, and soon led all the states, and then waved his army south, all the way to Luoyang, the central imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. Everyone was waiting with bated breath at that time, waiting for Lu Bu to create a great miracle in military history.

However, the once-tyrannical Bingzhou wolf rode under Luoyang City and collapsed, and the Bingzhou army suddenly fell at a meteor-like speed, and everyone could not digest this incredible news. Before many details of the Battle of Luoyang were revealed, the outcome of the Battle of Luoyang was completely shrouded in mystery in the eyes of everyone.

After Yuan Shao learned the news of Lu Bu's defeat, he angrily smashed all the furnishings in the house. Yuan Shao, who has always paid attention to appearance and cultivation, can have such a crazy performance, which shows the anger in his heart.

"What is invincible in the world Lu Fengxian, it's just ****."

Yuan Shao, who smashed everything in the house, had already begun to run wild, and almost ran up to the wall of Xindu and scolded his pig teammates three times.

Originally, he didn't really expect Lu Bu to capture Luoyang. In his plan, it was best for Lu Bu to stalemate with the imperial court for a few months, consume the strength of the imperial court, and buy him time to deal with his old enemy Gongsun Zan and pacify Qingzhou. At that time, the internal stability will be stable, and he will lead the armies of Ji, You, Qing, and the four states to the south and go straight to Luoyang. If Lu Bu and the imperial court lose both in the end, it will be the most perfect ending.

However, he never thought that Lu Bu would not hold on to Luoyang City for even half a month, so he was driven back with a loss of troops. The strength of the imperial court has not lost much, and in the situation he is facing, there are still a few big battles to fight with Gongsun Zhan, and Qingzhou has not been won, even if the two places of Youzhou and Qingzhou are obtained, it will take time to stabilize. Under the advantages of one another, the imperial court has a lot of time to recuperate and accumulate strength. When the time comes, he will wave his army north to crusade against himself, and it is very likely that he will rush to the battle or even suffer the enemy on his back.

Although he was resentful of the defeat of the Bingzhou army, Yuan Shao still had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit. He also tried his best to help the state army, after all, the alliance with Lu Bu was still needed for him.

It's just that what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that not long after, his other pig teammate Yuan Shu also gave him a big gift that was hard to swallow.

***********

With the rout of the Bingzhou army, after disappearing from view, the soldiers and civilians under Luoyang City broke out into huge cheers in an instant.

The people who survived the war embraced each other at that moment, celebrating that they had finally defended their dignity and life with their blood.

Liu Wei and Liu Xie on the car also hugged each other tightly, Liu Xie's eyes were red, and he almost cried.

"Brother Bian, we won!" Liu Xie said excitedly.

"yes, we won." Liu Wei was also excited, and every cell in his body was filled with strength.

The victory in the Battle of Luoyang, as Liu Wei expected, the rapid end of the war minimized the losses caused by the military disaster, and the imperial court gained a lot of time, and had already obtained the most advantageous first move on the chessboard of the world game.

After the first celebration of victory, small cries began to be heard on the battlefield. Liu Wei heard the abnormality outside, walked out of the car and looked around the battlefield, and saw the devastated battlefield covered with corpses, which was unbearable.

The cries grew louder, and some began to search for their relatives and friends among the corpses on the ground, and some began to cry bitterly when they found them.

The sad atmosphere began to replace the joy just now, and even Liu Wei's eyes were already moist.

"Your Majesty." Liu Xie walked out, and his mood became depressed.

Liu Wei sighed slightly, even if his heart was as strong as a stone now, and he regarded the death toll as a number, but when he really faced this tragic death scene, his heart still couldn't help but feel heavy.

After the war, the number of casualties among the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang reached 30,000. Liu Wei issued an edict to exempt the people of Luoyang from paying taxes for three years and serving hard labor for ten years. Pensions are issued to the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang who sacrificed their lives for the country, and both the military and the people are recorded for their military merits, and the surviving families are called "military martyrs' families" and enjoy all kinds of special treatment from the state. And set up a stone monument of "Luoyang Military and Civilian Yasukuni Immortal" outside the upper east gate to commemorate the heroic deeds of the Luoyang military and civilians today.

Although the state army was defeated, the war was not really over. Liu Wei also set out to send the Xiyuan Army and the Shenwei Army to pursue, and at the same time instructed Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to be careful, and it was enough to chase them to a certain extent. After all, the other party is Lu Bu, the number one military general in the world, even if the current situation shows that the state army has been completely dispersed, no one can guarantee that with Lu Bu's ability, he will not suddenly win in defeat and fight back.

The pursuit of the Xiyuan Army and the Shenwei Army was too urgent, and it was possible to force the Bingzhou army into a mourning army, so Liu Wei ordered Guan Yu's army, which had been resting in the Chenggao area, to pull out the army and ambush the Bingzhou army. At this time, without the pursuit behind them, the Bingzhou army will inevitably relax, and the ambush of the northern army will definitely give the Bingzhou army a painful blow. Liu Bianke never intended to let Lu Bu and them return to Bingzhou safely.

According to these military arrangements, the remaining Luoyang soldiers and civilians embraced Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and returned to Luoyang City with an aura of victory.

Lu Zhi, Jia Xu and other Wenchen who helped in the war walked down the city and came to Liu Wei. Even Lu Zhi, Jia Xu and others, who have always been calm as a mountain on weekdays, were also very excited, and Liu Wei said to them with a smile: "With today's victory, you should believe what I said a few days ago." ”

Before the start of the war, Liu Wei advocated going out of the city to meet the enemy and a quick decisive battle. At that time, it was opposed by all the ministers. At this time, the victory returned to the court, and the words were said in public, which was quite ironic, or smug. However, Lu Zhi and other close ministers understood that Liu Wei was just a teenager's heart, and he was too excited about winning the war. The other ministers saw that Lu Zhi and other important ministers did not speak, and they would not touch his bad head under the power of Liu Bian's great victory, and praised Liu Bian one after another: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the Yan Han is blessed with all the heavens." ”

Liu Wei said with a straight face: "This is the soldier's life, all the ministers and workers work together, and the people of Luoyang are united." ”

The ministers gladly said yes, and this little episode passed quickly. Even after the war, Wei Yi's Propaganda Office used this war to publicize the wise decision of the Son of Heaven, no one realized that this episode would become the beginning of the political life of the Guangxi Empire for more than a decade to come. Later historians who studied the history of the Guangxi Empire generally believed that the "Son of Heaven's Consistent Correctness" throughout the Guangxi era began to sprout after the victory in the Battle of Luoyang. Almost all the prime ministers of the post-Guangxi era have endured the hardships of this "Son of Heaven's consistent correctness" and have waged a tireless struggle against it.

Of course, it will be a long time before it becomes powerful. Liu Wei handed over the post-war pension and finishing work to Lu Zhi and others, and continued to return to the palace.

Before he arrived at the palace, he saw Empress Tang's carriage coming from a distance. Then stopped, and Empress Tang ran to Liu Wei's side from the outside.

Liu Wei also got out of the car, and Queen Tang ran in front of him and hugged him.

"I'm back." Liu Wei said softly.

Empress Tang leaned tightly into his arms, and there were infinite words in her heart, but when they reached her mouth, they turned into sobs.

There are still people and ministers around, and Empress Tang and Liu Wei are like this on the street, which can be said to be a violation of etiquette. But the people around him were tolerant and smiled, and even the most old-fashioned Wang Yun did not stand up and provoke thorns at this time.

In the alley not far away, after seeing Liu Wei coming back, Mi Zhen couldn't help but run to him. It's just that when Empress Tang threw herself into his arms, she stopped in an instant.

The picture of Liu Wei and Empress Tang hugging each other tightly on the street made Mi Zhen both envious and sad, and she felt that there seemed to be no room for other people between the two of them.

Similarly, Cai Yan, who was sitting by the window in the teahouse of the typhoon shelter, originally saw Liu Wei's eyes that suddenly lit up, but for some reason they also dimmed.

On that afternoon, in the world of Liu Wei and Empress Tang, it seemed that everyone had disappeared, and only the two of them were left quietly embracing each other on the streets of Luoyang.
