Chapter 16 Marching into Luoyang
Lu Bu fought three people alone outside the pass, although his performance was brave, but it was still impossible to take the initiative, he could only defend passively, and his physical consumption was very serious, the four of them fought more than fifty times in a blink of an eye, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's movements were a little slower than before, but Zhao Yun's bright silver spear was still very deadly like a poisonous snake, which made Lu Bu feel very uncomfortable, at this moment, the sound of bells and bells came from the city wall, and Lu Bu heard the sound of the Xiliang Army at this time, so Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife was around, Blocking Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, Fang Tian's halberd was pulled, blocking the gun that Zhao Yun stabbed over, this shot was impartial and just stabbed the barrel of Fang Tian's halberd, and Lu Bu took advantage of the power of the stab and the speed of the red rabbit horse, quickly retreated, and rushed out of the middle of the three in an instant, and the three chased forward for a while, but the speed of the red rabbit horse was very fast, their war horses were all ordinary war horses, plus the battle just now was very fierce, and the strength of the people on horseback was actually borne by the war horse under the crotch when they fought each other, At this time, the three war horses were a little weak, and they obviously couldn't catch up with Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu escaped smoothly, in the eyes of the ordinary soldiers of the coalition army, he was obviously beaten back, so they all waved the weapons in their hands and shouted, obviously very happy to defeat Lu Bu.
As soon as Lu Bu was defeated, the morale of the Xiliang army dropped a lot, and at this time, no matter how the generals of the coalition army came forward to scold the war, they just shouldn't, and even hung a war-free card on the city wall, think about it, even Lu Bu was defeated, they naturally wouldn't send people out to die, no one would think that they could fight better than Lu Bu.
Yuan Shao saw that the other party could not hold out, and the siege equipment on the side of the coalition army was not fully prepared, so he led his troops back to the camp, preparing to wait until everything was ready to challenge again.
For three days in a row, the Tiger Prison was closed with a free battle card, and the coalition forces just shouldn't go to the other side to fight, and if they were too close, they would be attacked by the opponent's bows and arrows and rolling wood and stones, so they could only give up.
That night, Sun Jian sent someone to shout Liu Zhi to the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the generals of the Jiangdong Army were in the account, obviously discussing the next battle.
When Liu Zhi saw Sun Jian's move, he didn't say anything himself, and did it on the side.
Sun Jian glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had already arrived, so he said: "Everyone, I just got the news that the Xiliang Army has withdrawn from the Tiger Prison Pass at this time, and the Tiger Prison Pass is already an empty city. ”
Huang Gai was in a hurry, as soon as he heard that the Xiliang army had gone, he hurriedly got up and said to Sun Jian: "Lord, since the Xiliang thief has left, then what are we waiting for, hurry up and pursue while the victory is won, we can't let them run away like this!" ”
After he finished speaking, seeing Sun Jian with a smile on his face, he motioned for him to sit down, although Huang Gai was anxious, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Sun Jian, so he could only sit down.
Sun Jian glanced at Huang Gai and said: "The departure of the Xiliang Army is not sudden, but a bureau set up by Mr. Liu before, in fact, three days ago, the main force of the Xiliang Army has already left, but the spies of the coalition army cannot go deep into the pass to investigate, so this information was not found, and the 20,000 people stationed at the pass are Li Su's 20,000 people, and their task is to be in charge of the palace." ”
Huang Gai heard Sun Jian say that there were only 20,000 people on the other side, and he wanted to stand up and speak, but he glanced at it, and the other people in the other room didn't mean to speak, so it was difficult to get up.
Cheng Pu is the leader of the Jiangdong Army, and his prestige in the army is second to that of the generals of the Sun family and his son, he saw Sun Jian open his mouth to talk about the strategy arranged by Liu Zhi before, so he asked: "The lord just mentioned Mr. Liu's strategy, it is expected that the Xiliang army will definitely retreat, I don't know if you can inform us of Mr. Liu's arrangement, so that we can know a thing or two." ”
Sun Jian nodded and motioned to Liu Zhi to explain to the generals.
Liu Zhi didn't shirk either, bowed to everyone, and said: "I think everyone knows before that Dong Zhuo sent Li Ru to our Jiangdong Army camp, the purpose of which is mainly to persuade the general to surrender, and we will also plan it, first resolve Li Ru's plan, and then use Dong Zhuo's temper to threaten Li Ru, so that he has to promise to help us do something, and we can let him go back, Li Ru in order to save his life, naturally had to agree to our conditions, and the condition for us to let him agree is to bring a word to Dong Zhuo, This is a nursery rhyme, the content is to say that Luoyang's gas has been exhausted, the capital should be moved to Chang'an in order to continue the regime, Dong Zhuo has come to the Tiger Prison Pass at that time, he will definitely be very worried about the situation in Luoyang, so we will send a fine work on the one hand, to Luoyang to spread this nursery rhyme, on the other hand, let Li Ru mention this matter in Dong Zhuo's ear, once Dong Zhuo hears this nursery rhyme, he will definitely abandon the pass and leave, return to Luoyang, and prepare to move the capital, because he will see Lu Bu defeated on the Tiger Prison Pass, thus hitting his confidence, In this way, the Tiger Pass will no longer be an obstacle in our way. ”
Everyone was silent after listening, the strategy in this is one after another, and it fully grasped Dong Zhuo's timid and afraid of death after entering the phase, grasped his heart of avoiding war, first defeated Lu Bu in front of him, and then let Li Ru take the opportunity to tell the nursery rhyme, which is equivalent to letting Dong Zhuo find a step, a way out, of course he will hold on tightly, several people are connected, and he admires Liu Zhi even more in his heart.
Sun Jian glanced at everyone and said: "At this time, although the army of the Xiliang Army has retreated, they will definitely set up ambushes on the road, I estimate that Li Su's 20,000 people are just a bait, Dong Zhuo will not only arrange for him to sing this play alone, so we have to pursue, but we can't pursue too deeply, so as not to be ambushed, my Jiangdong Army only has more than 10,000 people at the moment, even against Li Su's 20,000 people, it can't escape well, so you must be cautious when pursuing, understand?" ”
All the generals bowed together and said, "No! ”
The Jiangdong Army opened late at night, marched in the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass, and when it arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, there was really no soldier of the Xiliang Army on the pass, and the Jiangdong Army easily crashed open the gate, along the pipeline, marched eastward, and began to pursue the Xiliang Army, and the reason why Sun Jian was so anxious was that in addition to wanting to enter Luoyang City first and get the first credit, there was also a reason that whoever entered Luoyang City first was most likely to go directly to Shengting, and the chance of getting the reward was the greatest, and even if Emperor Han Xian was not in Luoyang, They can also get enough benefits from the prosperous Luoyang City as compensation, the princes of the Eighteen Roads came to the alliance, few people are out of sincere desire to protect the Han and the emperor, all for their own interests, want to get a greater reward after overthrowing Dong Zhuo, otherwise no one will willingly send troops, like the royal family relatives such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Yizhou did not send troops, and they are not the descendants of Gaozu, so naturally they can't make this trip to troubled waters.
