When the heroes of the world heard that Liu Yi said that he had another army that wanted to attack Dong Zhuo in two ways with the allied soldiers, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Don't look at Liu Yi, he is only temporarily in the unoccupied position of the Allied princes, and can barely be counted as the eighteenth road princes. is also because Liu Yi is quite low-key about the matter of this army against Dong Zhuo, and he has not expressed any opinions, so they are all a little more at ease. But in fact, they have been paying attention to Liu Yi all along, for fear that Liu Yi will make some big moves to ruin their plans.
Without him, because they all know that if Liu Yi doesn't make a sound, it will be amazing. Moreover, because Liu Yi has always been quite independent and strong in the past, many people, they are worried that Liu Yi will compete to be the leader of the coalition and then take over the military power. With Liu Yi's character, as long as he wants to do it, he is bound to adopt an extremely tough attitude, if Liu Yi becomes strong, who dares to resist Liu Yi head-on? With Liu Yi's character, once he is made the leader of the alliance, then he is afraid that he will not be like Yuan Shao, just collect their military rations, and when the time comes, he will insist on disrupting the formation of all the armies, and all of them will be reorganized with military men, weakening the influence of the princes on their own troops and horses, and even completely removing their command power. If so, what should the princes of all stripes do? Do you listen to Lew's orders?
The princes, in their hearts, were quite scruples about Liu Yike.
The princes of the world raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and everyone had their own thoughts, and they all took this opportunity to clear up their relationship with the Han court controlled by Dong Zhuo, so as to achieve their respective goals of supporting troops and standing on their own.
And because of Liu Yi's participation, everyone had to worry more.
What are they worried about? They are all worried that at this time, the world is still a big man. No matter what they say or think, Han Ting still exists. They raised troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but also under the banner of crusading against Dong Zhuo's traitors, restoring the Han family, and revitalizing the Han Dynasty. In other words. Their crusade against Dong Zhuo this time was not a rebellion, and it was fundamentally different from the Yellow Turban Army riot a few years ago. To put it bluntly, the princes of the world are not subject to the orders of the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo. Therefore, they want to destroy Dong Zhuo, but this Han Ting, they still have to help Kuang.
But this crusade against Dong Zhuo has had some more changes with the events in history. That is the justifiable young emperor Liu Wei, the orthodox descendant of the Han family, is still there. Moreover, it is still in Liu Yi's hands, which makes the shape seem a bit mysterious.
Let's say. Liu Yi brought the young emperor to the allies together, and then the princes had a headache. It is estimated that there will be no more competition for the leader of the alliance, because the young emperor is here, bigger than anyone else, and all the princes in the world must obey the orders of the young emperor. And listening to the orders of the young emperor is equivalent to obeying Liu Yi's orders.
If they don't listen, it's hard to explain.
They are clearly anti-Dong Zhuo. It shows that they are dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, which can be extended to be dissatisfied with the court controlled by Dong Zhuo. In addition, King Chen Liu, who is the emperor supported by Dong Zhuo, is suspected of forcing the palace, and the princes of the world are against Dong Zhuo, which invisibly means that King Chen Liu, the emperor, is not a legitimate emperor.
Historically, because the young emperor Liu Wei and the empress had been killed by Dong Zhuo, King Chen Liuwang became the only heir to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. So. No matter how King Chen Liuwang became the emperor, no one had any disputes, even after Dong Zhuo's death, the princes of the world also regarded King Chen Liu, the emperor, as an orthodox emperor.
But now, the young emperor Liu Wei is still there, if he appears in the allies. Then, the allies naturally had to recognize the status of the young emperor Liu Wei as the orthodox emperor. Once recognized, then they have to stand up, all of them are just ministers of the young emperor, at that time, Liu Yi is the formal Taifu, the head of the hundred officials and the three dukes, and his status is already above all.
With a strong person like Liu Yi supporting the young emperor Liu Wei, when the time comes, who will be able to think about him again? Who doesn't obediently be a minister under Liu Yi's strength? In this way, no one really wants to see Liu Yi come together to participate in the alliance against Dong Zhuo. But Liu Yi's strength is here, and no one dares to really treat Liu Yi well, so he can only treat Liu Yi as an ordinary prince and treat Liu Yi as cold as possible.
Fortunately, there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses brought by Liu Yi to participate in the alliance, so these princes were not too threatened.
Now, they heard that Liu Yi had another army and was going to attack Dong Zhuo with the allies in another way, which really made them feel a little frightened. I don't know where Liu Yi's army is now, they thought that in case, after the allies defeated Dong Zhuo, let Liu Yi's army occupy Luoyang first, and get Emperor Xian from Dong Zhuo's hands, when the time comes, the young emperor and Emperor Xian are in Liu Yi's hands, then, aren't they all busy in vain? It is equivalent to working for Liu Yi in vain.
The worries of the princes of the world, Liu Yi had already anticipated them, and because of this, Liu Yi did not plan to use his troops and horses to come and form an alliance with the princes. It is conceivable that once Liu Yi's army all comes to Chen Liu, coupled with his good relationship with Sun Jian, Ma Teng and others, how big will Liu Yi's power be? At that time, the world was completely intimidated, and under Liu Yi's strength, they didn't unite to fight against Liu Yi? At that time, there is no need to talk about the crusade against Dong Zhuo, he Liu Yi and the armies of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others may have a battle first.
Liu Yi couldn't help but smile in the face of Sun Jian and the surprise questions of everyone, and said calmly: "It's not a secret, the young emperor has personally led the Xinyulin army, as well as Liu's grain guards and soldiers at the beginning, Jingzhou Jianghu Captain Army, and some righteous troops, a total of about 30,000 or 20,000 horses, ready to send troops to Luoyang in Wancheng to denounce Dong Zhuo who forced him to abdicate. However, Dong Zhuo's troops are abundant, and the area from Wancheng to Luoyang is all wilderness, which is conducive to the charging of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, so it is not possible to attack Dong Zhuo's army immediately for the time being, because it is difficult to resist Dong Zhuo's army with only that little force. If the allies contain the main force of Dong Zhuo's army, then the young emperor will have the opportunity to lead the army to attack Dong Zhuo from the flank and defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop! ”
"Good! Although our allies are outnumbered, but attacking all the way, it is also a little tactically weak, so we can only fight to the death with Dong Zhuo's army, if there is a young emperor and another army to attack from the flank, it can be used to contain Zuò, so that Dong Zhuo's army can take care of one and lose the other. Sun Jian applauded: "Brother Liu Yi, you have deceived me very hard, and you have participated in the alliance all the way, and I really think that you only have these two thousand soldiers and horses." I can't believe you still have such a hand. Don't you just say it? I knew that my Sun Wentai would not come, so I joined forces with you in Wancheng and played the banner of fighting Dong, I am afraid that I can also gather an army of 100,000 troops, right? In that way, the two armies attacked Dong Zhuo. Wouldn't it be better? ”
Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "Wentai, you take it for granted, the soldiers who have just been recruited and recruited, although there are many soldiers, they lack combat effectiveness, and they have to face in Wancheng, but Dong Zhuo's cavalry impact, not to mention our 100,000 military horses." Even if it is 200,000, it is a loss for us to face Dong Zhuo head-on. Moreover, the attack from Chenliu to Luoyang was mostly the Xiongguan Pass, and Dong Zhuo only sent a small number of soldiers to guard the pass, so that he could block the attack of the allies and send a large army to fight a decisive battle with us. So how do we resist it? ”
"Uh, this, it's better to start attacking from Chen Liu." Sun Jian's old face flushed. Said sneeringly.
How to attack Dong Zhuo and where to start the attack, before forming an alliance, the princes had already discussed it many times, Dong Zhuo's army and cavalry had an absolute advantage, so it was not appropriate to fight with him in the plains and wilderness. Attack Luoyang from the direction of Wancheng, or the allies move from Jizhou to Bingzhou and attack from the north. In the end, a large plain will be passed, and as long as Dong Zhuo and Chen soldiers wait for the decisive battle of the allies on the plain, the allies will have no chance of winning. From Chenliu to Luoyang along the Yellow River, although it is necessary to cross mountains and mountains, and to fight down one pass after another, it can take advantage of the natural terrain. It was not conducive to the deployment of their cavalry, so that Dong Zhuo's cavalry lost a certain advantage, at least, it could make it lose the advantage of the impact of the large army.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the allies to start attacking Luoyang from Bishui Pass.
In fact, starting from Bishui Pass to attack Luoyang, as long as you kill under the Tiger Prison Pass and capture the Tiger Prison Pass, it is equivalent to opening up the passage to Luoyang City, making Luoyang a lonely city, facing the allied forces of the world. In other words, attacking Luoyang from Bishui Pass is the quickest route.
Whether it is attacking Luoyang from the direction of Wancheng or from the side of Bingzhou, in addition to carrying out a long-distance march in the plains, it is possible to encounter the attack of Dong Zhuo's army at any time, and it is also necessary to face the natural dangers of the Yellow River and Luoshui.
"Liu Yi, is the young emperor really ready to march from Wancheng to Luoyang?" Cao Cao waited for Liu Yi and Sun Jian to finish speaking, and then he pretended to be concerned about the young emperor, and said with a little surprise: "The young emperor is young, how can he lead the army in person?" Without you by the young emperor's side, if something happens to an accident, wouldn't it be regrettable? ”
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that I rejected Sun Wentai's proposal to fight the vanguard together, and I have to go back to protect the young emperor at any time. Liu came to participate in the Allied Alliance this time, the most important thing is to be entrusted by the Young Emperor, the Young Emperor believes that the heroes of the world are throwing their heads and spilling their blood for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and as the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, how can he lag behind the heroes? Therefore, the young emperor specially asked Liu Yi to come to meet with the monarchs, form an alliance together, and show the monarchs that the crusade against Dong Zhuo and he, the young emperor, are fighting side by side with you. At that time, when the allies captured the gate to Luoyang, the young emperor would officially march to Luoyang. Tiger Prison Pass is away from Luoyang, and Wancheng is away from Luoyang, the distance is not far away, it is estimated that the young emperor will also join you under the city of Luoyang. Beheaded Dong Zhuo to thank the world. ”
"Then, when will you go back to meet the young emperor?" Yuan Shao, the alliance leader, heard that it was possible to meet with the young emperor in the future, so after the meeting, what kind of alliance leader was this alliance leader of his? At that time, these heroes in the world are afraid that they will directly obey the orders of the young emperor, instead of obeying him, the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao really didn't want the Young Emperor and Liu Yi to participate in this matter, but Liu Yi was also allied with them, and it was not good to oppose or exclude Liu Yi from the alliance at this moment. At this moment, he hoped that Lewi would be able to leave the Allied forces quickly, so as not to weaken his control over the Allied forces.
"This matter is not in a hurry, I will act with Sun Wentai first, first, I can see Dong Zhuo's strength, and second, I can also see how the heroes of the world face Dong Zhuo, and see the heroic posture of the heroes of the world. Levio said calmly.
Liu Yilai participated in the alliance, so he naturally had to let the allies know that he had a large army participating in the war, and now that the leader of the alliance has been selected and the battle plan has been implemented, it is time to tell these people. If you don't tell everyone in advance that you have another army, then when your own army appears, who knows that they will misunderstand that it is Dong Zhuo's army? Even if it is not mistaken for an enemy army, but Liu Yi suddenly appeared with a large army in Luoyang, and when the time comes, it will make the heroes in the world feel that they have been calculated by Liu Yi. People like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others will definitely use this as an excuse to turn their faces with Liu Yi. In this way, Liu Yide should try his best to make them not have too many excuses to use troops against him in the future.
Other than that. It would not have been possible to talk to these people about this matter earlier, and if they had said it earlier, they would have made it a problem for the allies to form an alliance because of Liu Yi's strong existence. It is very likely that Yuan Shao and the others will lead the army to leave, or attack Dong Zhuo on their own, and will never form an alliance with Liu Yi.
But now. The matter has become a foregone conclusion, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they can only accept the fact that Liu Yi is part of their allies at this moment.
Everyone was shocked and suspicious, the allied army sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo was already ready to send an arrow, and everyone was ordered to leave the Chinese army's big tent, and Liu Yi also left with Sun Jian, preparing to allocate the battalion to attack Bishui Pass.
The princes of the world raised troops to denounce Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo already knew the news, and he quickly knew the fact when Cao Cao sent a message to denounce him. Merely. At that time, Dong Zhuo thought that Cao Cao couldn't become a big climate, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, and spent all day in the palace in the capital to have fun, ** the court.
If Dong Zhuo paid enough attention to Cao Cao, it would have been about a month since Cao Cao issued the edict, and it would have been enough time for Dong Zhuo to mobilize the army to kill Chen Liu. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao has enough time to wait for the princes of the world to come to the alliance.
Later, Dong Zhuo learned that one stone stirred up a thousand waves. Cao Cao, a small captain, actually attracted the response of the princes of the world, and sent troops to denounce him. When he learned that there were several princes in the world who sent troops, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but panic a little. No matter how strong he Dong Zhuo is, can he still be stronger than the heroes of the world?
So, he panicked. I feel that the prestige of the Yuan family in the world is too great, and Yuan Kui's influence in the capital is too great, in case when the allies come to attack him, Yuan Kui will make some moves in the secret to cause civil strife in the capital, in that case, how can he Dong Zhuoshuang fight against the princes of the world again? Because, as soon as he could, he casually found an excuse, and suddenly led the army to surround Yuan's mansion and arrest Yuan's family.
For the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo actually wanted to do something to it for a long time, but he was always worried that moving the Yuan family would cause dissatisfaction among too many court officials in the court, so he didn't dare to do it for a long time. But now, he has no choice.
After killing the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo also knew that a battle with the allies was inevitable, and after discussing with Li Ru and other ministers, he dispatched troops and made preparations to resist the world's heroic alliances.
Luoyang, the city is high and the walls are thick, as long as the troops are sufficient, it is generally difficult to be broken. In order to strengthen Dong Zhuo's control over the imperial city of Luoyang, he ordered the armies of all forces in the city to be merged into his Dong Zhuo's army, that is, the armies of the major forces in Luoyang were officially reorganized. At the same time, he also stationed an army of 100,000 and strictly controlled the capital of Luoyang.
However, the most important thing is the defense of the eight towns around Luoyang, as long as the eight passes are not broken by the allies, then the allies will never have a chance to kill under Luoyang City.
Therefore, at almost every pass, Dong Zhuo sent his most powerful generals to defend it.
Dongjun, that is, the towns in an area east of the capital of Luoyang, were all guarded by Hu Zhen; The area to the south is guarded by Zhang Ji's army; To the west and northwest of the capital, Guo Yan, who had been defeated by Liu Yi, led the army to guard the pass respectively. The area along the Yellow River in the north was guarded by his brother Dong Yan. In addition, outside Luoyang City, there are also 50,000 troops stationed there, which can reinforce the towns at any time.
The news that the heroes of the world officially formed an alliance and formed an alliance to attack Luoyang also reached Dong Zhuo's ears. The direction of the Allied offensive has also been clarified.
Although Dong Zhuo was brutal and unkind, he was not a straw bag, and when he learned that the allies were attacking all the way to Bishui Pass, he saw that the ultimate goal of the allies was to break through the Tiger Pass. And he naturally knows how important the Tiger Prison is to Luoyang, if he wants to stabilize Luoyang and continue to be free in the capital of Luoyang, then the Tiger Prison Pass is Dong Zhuo's must guard.
He summoned his generals and said worriedly: "The allied forces are powerful, known as millions, and now they have attacked the Bishui Pass, if the Allied forces break through the Bishui Pass, they will be directly under the Tiger Prison Pass, and the secretaries can know the importance of the Tiger Prison to the capital of Luoyang?" It is not an exaggeration to say that the Tiger Prison Pass is the throat of Luoyang Capital, wait, who can lead the army to block the Allied forces outside the two passes of Bishui and Tiger Prison? ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry! The allies are like chickens and dogs, waiting for the children to lead the army to meet the enemy, and teaching them is definitely not going back! Lu Bu first asked for battle, and said proudly.
After he recognized Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, he basically had no chance to officially go to the battlefield, and he had always acted as Dong Zhuo's bodyguard, he had been tired of this state recently, and now that he had the opportunity to leave Dong Zhuo and lead the army to fight, how could he not fight for it?
"Sangkook! Why do you use a knife to kill chickens? Or let me Huaxiong lead the army, and the Dingjiao Allied army will be bloodied. ”
"Sangkook! ……”
In addition to the generals guarding the surroundings of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's generals also had a lot of generals, and they were vying to fight one by one.
