Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Army Pressed the Frontier
"I want to ask the Holy Lord to send me to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, I have the previous escort work, and I will not refuse to come to the Holy Lord." Liu Meng said.
The next day, Liu Meng proposed in the court and was approved by the young emperor, although the young emperor had no ability, but the previous things also let him know that Liu Meng was his help, and now the generals in the court have been dismissed, and there is no one available, and I want Liu Meng to be stationed in the tiger prison can also make Dong Zhuo have a certain amount of fear.
So the young emperor issued an edict to crown Liu Meng as the captain of the cavalry, and the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Prison Pass.
"The host occupies the Tiger Prison Pass, and can obtain 5,000 killing intent points per month, and 30,000 soldiers, in view of the fact that the host's killing intent value is not enough to maintain the soldiers under his command, you can choose whether to accept it, if you don't accept it, the soldiers cannot enjoy the attribute and skill bonuses, and the host only has the right to command."
The system has not been silent for a long time, and the sudden prompt made Liu Meng stunned, he has always dared not recruit other troops except for the general guard, because his acquisition of killing intent value is quite limited, and the last time he repelled Dong Zhuo, plus the remaining eight thousand points before, Liu Meng only has 10,000 killing intent value on his body at this time.
In fact, Liu Meng has always been worried, he doesn't want to kill more, which is contrary to his original intention, but if he doesn't kill people, he can't enhance his own power, this prompt tone is a relief for him.
Liu Meng quickly figured out the meaning of this prompt sound, he has never completely occupied any place, the so-called occupation should be the number one in that place, with all the power, just like the current Tiger Prison, he is the biggest there. This should be regarded as the economic system in the game, each city in the game, Guan Pass will provide different money every month according to its own size, used to recruit soldiers and horses and maintain soldiers, but Liu Meng doesn't need those, all he needs is the killing intent value, so the city here provides him with the killing intent value, so it is even more impossible for him to take refuge in anyone.
The big stone that had been pressing on Liu Meng's heart was finally put down, and he had a direction to work towards.
The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and mountains staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a lot of husband, and there is a trend of no one to open. At this time, Liu Meng stood on the tiger prison, and his heart was also agitated, this was the first territory he had in this era. The road to hegemony starts with the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Meng thought to himself.
Liu Meng has been here with Dian Wei and others and the soldiers and horses of the Ministry for several days, with the edict of the young emperor to accept this Xiongguan is naturally not hindered by anything, after all, even if the prestige of the royal family is low, but the Tiger Prison Pass as the eastern gateway of Luoyang and an important pass, it is naturally guarded by the henchmen of the imperial court, and after seeing the edict, the original generals who guarded the pass returned to Luoyang to resume their lives.
After coming here, Liu Meng constantly sent scouts to investigate the situation in Luoyang. As expected, Dong Zhuo did not retreat, but stationed outside the city and waited for the follow-up army to arrive. Liu Meng also had the idea of taking the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass to Luoyang, after all, if he resisted Dong Zhuo's attack and made great contributions, what if the young emperor rewarded him with some territory again? You must know that there are still many places around Luoyang that are still under the management of the emperor and have not become the territory of the princes. But he wasn't sure that he would arrive in Luoyang before Dong Zhuo's army arrived, after all, it had taken him some time to get from Luoyang to the Tiger Prison Pass, and besides, the march of 30,000 people was no better than the more than 1,000 when he came, and the larger the number of troops, the slower the marching speed, so he didn't dare to take risks.
Liu Meng's current idea is to defend the Tiger Prison Pass, wait for Cao Cao to raise troops, and invite all the princes to jointly conquer Dong Zhuo.
Not long ago, news came that Dong Zhuo's follow-up army of 150,000 had arrived, and Dong Zhuo led the army into Luoyang without any resistance. After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he quickly took control of the Luoyang defense, and all the Weiwu troops were replaced by his Xiliang army, even including the Yulin army, and since then the entire Luoyang army has been under Dong Zhuo's control.
After taking over the military power, Dong Zhuo was more confident, in order to deter the hundred officials, he abolished the matter, but the poor young emperor was shorter than the reign in history, and he was demoted to the king of Hongnong after only two months on the throne, and his younger brother Chen Liuwang ascended the throne as the emperor, which was the emperor of the Han Dynasty. A small number of people loyal to the Han family resisted but were executed by Dong Zhuo by thunderous means, and everyone in the court and the central government was in danger and did not dare to resist Dong Zhuo again.
It wasn't until Dong Zhuo took full control of Luoyang that Ding Yuan, who also received He Jin's text, arrived with 50,000 soldiers and horses, but Dong Zhuo led the army to fight but was defeated by Ding Yuan's son Lu Bu and retreated to Luoyang City to defend.
After hearing the news, Liu Meng was not happy, but worried, he knew that the biggest role of Ding Yuan's visit this time was to send Dong Zhuo such a general as Lu Bu, and he gave tens of thousands of troops to the state. But Liu Meng knew it but couldn't stop it, because Ding Yuan was afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, although he accepted him as his righteous son, he always let him be the civil servant of the chief bookkeeper in the army, and did not let him take charge of the army, Lu Bu had a long-term resentment against him, and the red rabbit horse was just an inducement, and it was doomed to kill Ding Yuan and join Dong Zhuo.
Liu Meng didn't think of sending someone to persuade Lu Bu before Dong Zhuo, not to mention whether Lu Bu was willing to take refuge in him with a very thin foundation, even if he was willing Liu Meng, he didn't dare to accept him. As the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu also praised and depreciated him in later generations, but in Liu Meng's opinion, Lu Bu is indeed a general who conquests foreign races, and maybe he was born in a peaceful and prosperous era will be the next Wei Qinghuo to get sick, but unfortunately he was born in troubled times. He is brave and unscrupulous but refuses to listen to people, and he is not a good monarch, nor is he an object that can be subdued, because Lu Bu's biggest shortcoming is that he is arrogant, just like in the game, Cao Cao can subdue Lu Bu in the game, but Lu Bu will ask for high military expenses from time to time, and if he doesn't give it, he will rebel, this is not the fictional character of Lu Bu in the game, there is a practical basis. In history, Lu Bu had taken refuge in Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and after receiving the credit, he asked to increase his army, and Liu Meng, who was so greedy, had no interest in subduing him.
Now Liu Meng is worried that Dong Zhuo will think about attacking the Tiger Prison Pass after his power grows, because although Luoyang is a strong city, there is no danger to defend, Dong Zhuo naturally wants to capture the Tiger Prison Pass to be the eastern gateway, but he has been busy controlling Luoyang, so he has not made time. Dong Zhuo, who was already powerful, was joined by the Bingzhou Army and Lu Bu again, which made Liu Meng have a headache, and he couldn't help but pray that Wang Yun's old man would think of other clever plans for Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, but he also knew that this might be too small, so he still considered how to block Dong Zhuo's attack more practically.
Sure enough, more than ten days later, news came that Dong Zhuo's subordinate Huben Zhonglang persuaded Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and Lu Bu had a very high prestige in the Bingzhou army, and there was no obstacle to retracting, so Lu Bu led 50,000 Bingzhou troops to join Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's power rose sharply, he left Li Ru and Li Dao in Luoyang, and he took Lu Bu, Guo Yan and others to lead an army of 100,000 to the Tiger Prison Pass.
