(54) The Western Liang Army was stationed in Luoyang, and Xun Gongda directed the battlefield

In the Fengyi Pavilion of the Luoyang Forbidden Palace, Liu Ning, the sleeping princess of Wannian, was suddenly awakened by a noisy sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info rubbed his sleepy eyes, Liu Ning poked his little head out of the quilt and shouted in a daze: "Xiaorou, Xiaorou, what's wrong." Xiao Rou walked over with the candlestick, shook her head and said to Princess Wannian: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid heard a noisy sound from the direction of the palace gate at the third watch, but I don't know what happened yet, the slave maid has sent someone to inform General Xu Huang who is stationed in the side hall." ”

Originally, as the deputy vanguard of the Northern Expedition of the Bingzhou Army, Xu Huang immediately followed Lu Bu's orders to lead the most elite five hundred Janissary Light Guards under Lu Bu to quietly return to Luoyang and secretly stationed near the Fengyi Pavilion of the Forbidden Palace to secretly protect the safety of Princess Wannian. In desperation, Lu Bu could only make this decision, ordering Xu Huang to lead the team to sneak back, and if there was an accident, he immediately forcibly took Princess Wannian out of the palace, and notified Tian Feng and Fang Yue to gather on the front line of Wuguan with 40,000 state troops and be ready to support Xu Huang's department at any time.

Princess Wannian had just woken up from the chaotic state, and suddenly heard a loud voice coming from outside the door: "Get out of the way, I will come to pick up Princess Wannian at the order of the Queen Mother and drive to Ganquan Palace, you watchdogs are out of the way for me!" Hearing this familiar voice, Princess Wannian's heart suddenly chuckled, and Liu Ning couldn't help frowning and wondering: "Isn't Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army stationed in the camp outside the city?" When did you enter the palace? Zhenghu was suspicious, and suddenly heard a scream from outside the door, and then there was a sonorous sound of a sword out of the sheath, only to see the guards outside the door hugging their fists through the screen and said: "Tell Her Royal Highness the princess, Xiliang Taishou Dong Zhuo led troops into the palace without authorization, and threatened to ask the princess to drive the Ganquan Palace by the order of the Queen Mother, and the last general's subordinates asked him for a handwritten letter. ”

At this time, most of the ninety guards who were responsible for guarding Fengyi Pavilion were He Jin's henchmen before his death, since the **** Yi raided the palace, He Jin, who was worried about the safety of Princess Wannian, sent them to guard the defense around Fengyi Pavilion, these ninety people only listened to the orders of Princess Wannian on weekdays, and now seeing Dong Zhuo's fierce face, how could he let him enter Fengyi Pavilion, and the two sides fought in front of Fengyi Pavilion. "Xiaorou, change the clothes of this palace!" After listening to the guard's report, Princess Wannian couldn't help but be angry, and immediately ordered the maids around her, "This palace wants to see, what does Dong Zhuo want to do?" "Although the princess of Wannian is kind by nature, but as a royal nobleman, the imperial atmosphere and proud posture inherited from Emperor Gaozu are deeply rooted in her bones, and the sudden death of her father makes this weaker woman is rapidly transforming into strong and tenacious.

"Hahaha, I want to see how long you can hold out with dozens of people." Just when Dong Zhuo proudly watched Li Dao and Guo Yan lead the soldiers of his department to kill, he suddenly heard a coquettish voice, and the crisp and ethereal voice was like a heavenly sound, and Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look up when he heard it, and met the pretty face of the princess Wannian with apricot eyes. I saw Dong Zhuo stammering and clenching his fists: "The last general...... Ever seen...... Your Highness the Princess! Princess Wannian didn't pay attention to Dong Zhuo, but turned around and took the scarf, and after gently bandaging the wound of a guard whose arm was cut, she asked Dong Zhuo coldly: "General Dong is so powerful, he dares to openly kill in front of the dormitory gate of this palace, do you want to learn from Li Wenhou, or do you want to learn **** righteousness?" As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a chill: What a little girl, her words are so sharp, she compared me to a traitor, and they all died under Lu Bu, don't you just want to say that you have your invincible lover as a backer, so that Lao Tzu can stop a little? Hmph, it's a pity that Lao Tzu is no longer the Dong Zhongying he was back then.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo shook his face full of fat and said with a smile: "The princess said that she laughed, thinking that I, Dong Zhongying, am loyal to the Han Dynasty, how can I be compared with these thieves." Tonight, there is a change in the city, and the last general will come to ask the princess to take up the Ganquan Palace for unified protection by the order of the Queen Mother. These watchdogs are too eye-catching, so the last general will punish them slightly. "Hmph, a small punishment will make everyone in my Fengyi Pavilion endanger themselves, if it is a big punishment to serve the entire palace, I am afraid that it will be a river of blood!" Princess Wannian didn't give Dong Zhuo any face, "It's already late at night, and the palace still needs to rest, so please go back if Lord Dong is fine." I didn't expect Princess Wannian to be so tough, and Dong Zhuo, who had eaten the closed door, was suddenly furious. At this time, Dong Zhuo, who has an army of 200,000 troops, thinks that he is strong and strong, and his words are already considered to give her face, and Dong Zhuo will not be doing drama if he doesn't agree with him, I saw him put away his smile and said viciously to Princess Wannian: "Liu Ning, Lao Tzu's good words are to give you face, don't think that you dare to be so arrogant with Lu Bu to support you, to tell you the truth, at this moment, the entire Luoyang City and the entire Sili region are in the hands of Lao Tzu, your brother Fengxian is far away in Wuhuan, and it is difficult to quench your thirst in the far water, it is best to listen to Lao Tzu honestly, Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”

"Not necessarily!" I saw Xu Huang walking over with a murderous axe in his hand, and the five hundred guards behind him quickly rushed to the princess of Wannian in a fan, and guarded the princess tightly in the center. Seeing Xu Huang coming, Li Dao and Guo Yan didn't dare to be careless, each drew their swords in their hands, blocked in front of Dong Zhuo, and Xu Huang glared angrily. Princess Wannian walked up to Xu Huang under the protection of the two guards and asked in a low voice, "General Xu Huang, what happened in Luoyang City?" Xu Huang stared at Dong Zhuo with a serious expression and replied in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Wu Kuang, the ruling Jinwu, led the people to mutini and lead the army to kill the chariot general He Miao, and the soldiers and horses of the department opened the city gate to let the Xiliang army enter the city, and the Xiliang fierce general Hua Xiong led the 150,000 Xiliang army to take over the city defense. Listening to Xu Huang's words, Princess Wannian's heart sank, and she secretly gritted her teeth and said, "What does Dong Zhuo want to do?" Rebellion? Xu Huang replied: "I can't see his intentions yet, but the general has an order, once Dong Zhuo makes a move, he will order us to escort Her Royal Highness the princess out of Luoyang immediately." ”

At this time, there was a great chaos in Luoyang City, Wu Kuang led more than 1,000 henchmen to surround the mansion of He Miao, the general of the chariot and cavalry, and under Wu Kuang's order, more than 1,000 soldiers pulled out their swords and killed He Miao, who was in bed with five Qianghu women. At the same time, the 100,000 troops of the army commanded by Huaxiong of the Western Liang Army were divided into four routes, Niu Fu, Li Meng, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu each led an army into the four gates of Luoyang, and Wu Kuang himself carried He Miao's head to the south of the city according to the strategy of Li Ru, the division of the Western Liang Army, and ordered the deputy general to order the Yulinwei army to hand over the city defense to the Xiliang Army and quickly went to the school field to assemble, Wu Kuang was full of joy and thought that a good day was coming, but he did not know that at this time Li Ru had already put the sharpened steel knife on his neck.

"Mother, are you alright?" Although she was suspicious of Dong Zhuo, Princess Wannian, who was worried about the safety of her mother, still rejected Xu Huang's proposal to go to Ganquan Palace to meet the Queen Mother He Lian'er, and in desperation, Xu Huang had to lead the headquarters guards to accompany her, seeing the weak face of the Queen Mother, Princess Wannian hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and said with concern. He Lian'er shook her head, held Princess Wannian's hand in a little panic and asked, "Ning'er, what's going on?" Since the death of Emperor Ling, He Lian'er, who has suffered a serious blow, has already lost her former shrewdness, wisdom and demeanor, and has been holding the letter left by Emperor Ling with her hair scattered all day long, which also forces Princess Wannian to grow up as soon as possible to deal with the situation of assisting her younger brother to deal with the **** situation today.

After listening to the queen mother's question, Princess Wannian just wanted to open her mouth to say a little more tactfully, when she heard Dong Zhuo grinning and replied: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, Zhijin Wu Kuang led the crowd to mutini and raid the mansion of the Che Cavalry General, and the Che Cavalry General was unfortunately killed, and the last general had no choice but to order the Xiliang army outside the city to enter the city Qin Wang. "What, brother, he!" He Li'er, who had lost two relatives in a row, heard that the last relative, He Miao, had also been killed, and suddenly felt dizziness on her forehead, her face shook palely, and her body was about to fall, seeing this, Princess Wannian hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her mother and comforted her softly, and then glared at Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger and stuck out his tongue, and changed the topic in time: "Hua Xiong, the fierce general under the command of the last general, has already led the army to the school field, and it will definitely be able to quell the rebellion in a short time." He also asked the Queen Mother to issue an edict to make the last general's counterinsurgency action justified. As he spoke, Dong Zhuo looked at the graceful Princess Wannian and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Maybe it was the squinted Dong Zhuo who made Princess Wannian feel a little frightened, Liu Ning couldn't help but feel a chill, and a look of horror appeared on his face, all of this was seen by Xu Huang, seeing Dong Zhuo so presumptuous, Xu Huang moved the big axe to block Dong Zhuo's body: "Dong Zhuo old thief, if you dare to be presumptuous again, I, Xu Ziming, will drink blood with this seventy-pound mountain opening axe!" "When Dong Zhuo was in Xiliang, he had witnessed Xu Huang and Pang De fighting viciously, a mountain axe in the chaos of the army, left and right slashed and killed several generals of Li Wenhou, Dong Zhuo knew that Li Dao and Guo Yan beside him could barely lead the troops, and when it came to bravery, he was only afraid that only Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu, known as the king of guns in the north, could compete with Xu Huang in his army, although he was outnumbered, but the situation in Luoyang was not stable, and the 50,000 Yu Lin Wei did not know whether he could be loyal to himself, after considering the pros and cons of all aspects, Dong Zhuo had to stare at Xu Huang and endure it for the time being.

On the campus in the south of the city, Wu Kuang was holding He Miao's head and made a generous statement, to his surprise, the army did not seem to support his behavior of killing He Miao, except for a few henchmen who echoed it, he and everyone were talking about it, which made Wu Kuang feel extremely embarrassed, before he and Dong Zhuo patted their chests and promised that as long as they raised their arms and called out to their subordinates, 50,000 soldiers would look at their own horses, and now they are riding tigers, if they can't successfully subdue these 50,000 soldiers, Dong Zhuo is afraid that he will never look at himself again.

When he was thinking hard about how to act, there was a sudden sound of neighing of war horses outside the school field, Wu Kuang looked up, and saw that tens of thousands of torches outside the school field would shine on the night sky like day, and the banner embroidered with the bear totem was surrounded by a group of murderous Flying Bear Army soldiers, and Hua Xiong, who was fully armed with a steel knife, held up the holy decree in his hand and shouted: "The Queen Mother Yi aims for this, and you will kneel down to receive the order." While speaking, Hua Xiong had already walked to Wu Kuang's side, and the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army received Hua Xiong's signal, and in groups of two or three, they unknowingly lurked to Wu Kuang's henchmen, and each pressed their right hands on the hilt of the saber hanging from their waists. Although he wondered how Dong Zhuo got the Empress Dowager's decree, but thinking that he had formed an alliance with Dong Zhuo, Wu Kuang didn't think much about it, and knelt in front of Hua Xiong obediently. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Kuang knelt down, the two Flying Bear Army soldiers beside Hua Xiong rushed forward and grabbed Wu Kuang's saber and pushed him to the ground, at the same time, the Flying Bear Army soldiers who were ambushed beside Wu Kuang's henchmen rushed up, pulled out their waist knives, and slashed down at Wu Kuang's subordinates in front of them.

"The traitor Wu Kuang, who has enjoyed the grace of heaven for a long time and does not think of repaying it, in order to vent his personal anger, he openly rebelled against his relatives, and did this act of the relatives and enemies, and he specially ordered Xiliang Taishou Dong Zhuo to lead the army into the city to quell the rebellion." Wu Kuang, who was gagged, looked at the scene in front of him in shock, he couldn't believe that he would actually be used, Dong Zhuo, who was full of loyalty and his own brother a few days ago, actually turned his face and didn't recognize people, and then he realized that he was just a pawn used by Dong Zhuo to eliminate He Miao. Before Lu Bu left Beijing, Cao Qian told him to be patient with He Miao and cooperate with him, the biggest enemy was Dong Zhuo, who was eyeing him outside the city, as long as the two of them worked together to rely on the strength of Luoyang City, 50,000 elite Yulin Guards could compete with it, and Lu Bu would lead the army back in three or four months at the latest. As a result, less than two months after Lu Bu left, he couldn't bear to kill He Miao, and one mistake turned into a thousand hatreds! Thinking of this, Wu Kuang couldn't help but shake his head painfully, and scolded himself thousands of times in his heart. Looking at Hua Xiong's right hand casually drawing circles on the hilt of the knife, Wu Kuang knew that he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

Under Ma Ming Pass, the 60,000 army led by Tatun has suffered more than half of the casualties at the moment, and the remaining remnants of the army are all wounded, and the camp built by the rear army Alimudan was broken through by Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Feibing in three ways, and Alimudan himself was also beheaded by Zhao Yun under the horse, and the defeated army of Wuhuan was used as a cover, Zhao Yun and other three people charged in front, Gongsun Zhan, Chen Gong, and Liu Bei then urged the army to cover up. Under the city wall, braving the rain of arrows, brandishing his sword and one-armed climb to the top of the city, fighting with Gao Shun, who was defending the city, the Wuhuan soldiers who had just ignited hope in their hearts didn't even have time to enjoy this moment of joy before they were pulled back to the cruel reality by the retreating troops behind them and the special horn sound of the Bingzhou army.

"Report to the generals, Tatun led the army to rush to the head of the city and is fighting fiercely with General Gao Shun's guards!" The scout rushed into the council chamber and clenched his fists. Since Lu Bu left Ma Ming Pass, all the generals carefully followed Lu Bu's generals to each take turns to lead the soldiers of their headquarters to defend the city, because they were worried that Yuan Ruonan would run to Wuhuan to find the army privately, Lu Bu arranged for the cautious Tai Shi Ci to follow Yuan Ruonan every day to guard, and the rest of the people sat in the council hall to plan the next battle plan.

After listening to the scout's report, Xun You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The courage of the trapped beast is really not to be underestimated, it seems that this step can be regarded as some ability." At this moment, another attendant ran in with a command flag: "Report to the generals, General Zhao Yun has led a large army to defeat Alimudan's rear army camp, and is converging reinforcements from all walks of life to flank the main force of Wuhuan under the city. As he spoke, he presented the order flag that Lu Bu had personally left to Zhao Yun as a token. Hearing this news, the spirits of everyone present were lifted, Lu Bu had said before leaving, unless Zhao Yun's army was near Ma Mingguan, no one was allowed to go out of the city to face the battle, although the city was defended for several days, it could make the young soldiers who were high-spirited really feel depressed, and at this moment, all eyes were staring at the boss, and they were waiting for Xun Yu to give the order.

"General Zhang Liao listens to orders!" Xun You sat in the middle and gave an order: "Order you to lead the army and horses of your headquarters out of the east gate to raid the right flank of Tatun." Zhang Liao led the order to retreat, and Pang De responded: "Order General Pang De to lead 10,000 troops out of the main gate and strike hard at the Wuhuan army and horses that are besieging the city." Speaking of this, a smart voice suddenly came from around everyone: "Mr. Gongda, the little woman has sent General Ziyi." Before the words fell, Tai Shi Ci stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Tai Shi Ci, will meet the military advisor." "Since Lu Bu left, Tai Shi Ci has become Yuan Ruonan's full-time bodyguard, and even sleeping Tai Shi Ci has widened his eyes and guarded the door, Tai Shi Ci has always appreciated Lu Bu's advantage of valuing love and righteousness, so he didn't dwell too much on this issue.

At this time, the overall situation has been decided, Xun You knows that the defeat of Tatun is imminent, even if Tai Shi Ci is sent to the battlefield with his guards to protect Yuan Ruonan, there is no crisis, so he said: "General Tai Shi Ci led the team to the city to assist General Gao Shun to drive the Wuhuan army that attacked the city head down the city wall, and he must kill Ta Dun."
