Chapter 163, the situation is not good
"Naturally, they will not sit idly by, they will definitely besiege Luoyang, and at that time, won't it be a big deal?" Thinking about the deep meaning, Lu Bu's eyes widened violently and he exclaimed.
Guo Jia waved his hand and said with a smile, "Jia has a clever plan, Luoyang will never lose, and the Tiger Prison Pass will soon change hands again, the prime minister has a good plan, this matter, the lord does not have to worry, just lead the state army to bravely kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, when the time comes, the prime minister will naturally be impressed by the lord." ”
"Okay, okay, so it's up to the military division."
Lu Bu nodded again and again, although he didn't understand what Dong Zhuo had planned for the time being, but, for some reason, he still felt that Guo Jia was sincerely assisting him, and immediately Lu Bu took out the tiger talisman with him, sent someone to Luoyang, and urgently transferred four generals to lead the army.
The Bingzhou army was not under the jurisdiction of Dong Zhuo, they only recognized Lu Bu's military order, and received Lu Bu's tiger talisman, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing led their troops to leave Luoyang, and 80,000 Bingzhou Erlang, like a huge dragon moving rapidly and mightily, quietly rushed to Bishui according to Guo Jia's dispatch.
The tiger prison was lost, Xu Rong hastily withdrew his troops, and even the Niu Fu army in Hanoi gave up the great opportunity to destroy Wang Kuang, and the troops retreated 200 miles to help Luoyang.
Whether it was Yuan Shu in Nanyang, or the princes of Sour Zao, or Yuan Shao Wang Kuang in Hanoi, they were all excited when they learned that Sun Jian had captured the Tiger Prison.
Sun Jian's voice was shocked, Yuan Shu also felt honored, and the princes who were originally unenterprising, at this moment, almost without the slightest agitation, conveniently pulled out the camp and raised troops, and rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass one after another.
Everyone understands that the time has come to reap the fruits of victory.
The fruit of this victory, is not the real territory, nor the soldiers' money and food, but the 'righteousness' of the people, from the moment everyone responded to Cao Cao's call to raise troops, they have been recognized by the people of the world, just like Cao Cao, the last soldiers who were beaten almost became alone, but the people of the world still enthusiastically followed. All the princes want this 'prestige'.
Of course, they won't fight like Cao Cao.
Even if you can't take Luoyang, you just need to bring the soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Luoyang City. Even if they bluff around, the princes will have enough capital to go back and show off their exploits to the people, and they can boast to the people of the county with their heads held high, "We will fight to the death and completely besiege Xiliang Dong Zhuo in Luoyang." ”
The tiger prison was lost, and the three armies of Xiliang pretended to panic. First of all, Lu Buhu fled in embarrassment, and then Xu Rong rushed to the aid of Tiger Prison, and now Niu Fu has withdrawn more than 200 miles, and even the fine work in Luoyang City has spread that Dong Zhuo has once again given birth to plans to retreat to Chang'an.
Although there were only 7,000 soldiers left, Cao Cao naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately Cao Cao suggested to the princes, "Everyone, now that the Tiger Prison Pass is under our control, it is a good time to wave troops to force the Beijing Division, and once we and hundreds of thousands of troops gather in Luoyang." If Luoyang is trapped like an iron stab, the national thief Dong Zhuo will be unable to escape. ”
Cao Cao's generals were all gearing up and eager to try, Cao Chun, Dian Wei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others had just suffered defeat at the hands of Xu Rong, and naturally they also wanted to find an opportunity to be ashamed, if they could capture Luoyang in one go and slaughter Dong Zhuo, for everyone. That's a great achievement.
Regarding Cao Cao's proposal, Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, and Jibei Minister Bao Xin immediately responded, and even Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong who captured the tiger prison in this battle, also clenched his iron fist. looked impatient, because from the very beginning, Sun Jian was running for Dong Zhuo's head.
Sun Jian seconded the proposal, and Yuan Shu was naturally not a problem, and it didn't take long for many princes to reach an agreement. For many people, without moving a knife or a gun, they can wave their troops to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, which is a great thing, and the plan has been decided, leaving only Yanzhou Liu Dai with thousands of men and horses to guard the tiger prison, and the rest of the princes will lead the army from the tiger prison to Luoyang directly.
Because the Tiger Prison Pass is the gateway to Luoyang, the Tiger Prison is lost, and the road to Luoyang is a flat horse for everyone, and there is no hindrance.
Yuan Shu Wang Kuang also raised troops from Hanoi and advanced directly, and Han Fu also raised 50,000 troops from Yecheng to Luoyang.
At first glance, nearly 400,000 troops, the battle is really not small, and the momentum is amazing enough.
Dong Zhuo deliberately put on the appearance of being in a hurry to move the capital, but secretly, he quietly prepared for war, and everything was being prepared in an orderly manner according to Dong Yi's strategy.
Zhang Yan of Montenegro divided his troops into two routes, and led 100,000 troops to Hanoi in Yu Yugu to block the retreat of Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang.
Zhang Yan led a group of men and horses to lead Bai Huan and Yang Feng to lead 100,000 troops from the land of the Sour Zao Alliance, which not only cut off Han Fu's retreat, but also completely cut off the grain route of the Kwantung princes.
Liu Bei led 10,000 troops, led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others from Yingchuan to attack the Tiger Pass.
At the same time, Xiliang Han Sui, Fufeng Huangfu Song, Hanzhong Zhang Lu's men and horses advanced forward from the west side of Luoyang, Han Sui was divided into 20,000 troops, guarding Tongguan, the seventeenth princes, as if they were put into their pockets, all introduced into the open area near Luoyang, although adjacent to the Beijing Division, but there is Luoshui in the south, the Yellow River in the north, Xiongguan in the east, and the mountains in the west, what was left for the Kwantung princes was undoubtedly a huge cage like an iron bucket.
The princes of the Seventeenth Road rushed to Luoyang, they didn't know what was happening around them, they were all high-spirited and ecstatic, in their opinion, Dong Zhuo's defeat was decided, and after this battle, the people of the world would definitely worship them as gods and admire them more.
"Report, fifty miles ahead, is Luoyang City, alliance leader, do you need to camp in place?" A scout Pegasus, who was in charge of the investigation, came to Cao Cao and the others to report closely.
Sun Jian glanced at Cao Cao on the side, many princes, others can't get into his eyes at all, in Sun Jian's opinion, except for Cao Cao worthy of respect, the rest of the princes are just a group of wine bags and rice bags, except for two consecutive months, they only know how to drink and indulge, no enterprising, even Yuan Shu, Sun Jian is also a false and wronged snake, temporarily attached, and did not really put him in his eyes.
Because he needs Yuan Shu's prestige, although the Yuan family was killed by Dong Yi, after all, the tree has deep roots and prestige.
A gust of wind and sand blew, and the bun of Cao Cao's sideburns was a little messy, Cao Cao's small eyes narrowed slightly, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and looked up at Sun Jian fiercely, "Wentai, can you see anything?" ”
"What?" Sun Jian subconsciously replied.
"From the dispatch of troops from Tiger Prison Pass to the present, why did you only hear that Dong Zhuo's army was panicked and had the intention to move westward, but the other party did not send troops to intercept us at all, whether the capital was moved or not? Dong Zhuo will definitely not allow us to wait for the army to go straight to Luoyang, this is unreasonable, this matter is quite strange. Looking ahead, Cao Cao put his hand on his short beard under his chin, looking worried.
"You mean, we've made it all the way, and it's been so smooth?" Sun Jian suddenly had an epiphany.
"Yes, it's so smooth, where is Xu Rong's army now? Where is Ushisuke's army? Where are Lu Bu's men? Where is the 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry that Dong Zhuo entrusted him with? ”
Cao Cao's brows furrowed more and more, he turned around suddenly, and instructed the generals under his command, "Set up camp in place, immediately send scouts to investigate around, and be sure to find out all the movements of the three armies of Xiliang to me." ”
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the others beside Sun Jian were just about to open their mouths to persuade Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's face sank, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Set up camp on the spot." ”
The rest of the princes were puzzled by this, not far ahead is the divine capital Luoyang, only a stone's throw away, why stop and camp? Even if you want to set up camp, you should go to Luoyang to camp, if you can take Luoyang City in one fell swoop, you don't even need to set up a camp tent, and you can directly enter Luoyang.
"Rumble..."
Just when everyone agrees with each other, it is difficult to reach an agreement, suddenly there is a roar like thunder behind them, everyone only feels that the feet are faintly trembling, not long after, behind the northeast, northwest two directions, each has a rapidly moving black line in the forward squirming, the black line is getting thicker and thicker, closer and closer, the sound next to the ear is getting louder and louder, of course, the ground under everyone's feet, also trembled more violently, if you look down carefully, you should be able to see the ground stones are jumping up and down, It seemed that it was about to be shaken into the air in the next moment.
The waiting time was not long, but everyone felt that it was unusually long, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, every second, every moment, it made people tremble, they didn't even dare to blink their eyes, and even their breathing was all stopped.
In the suffocating waiting, the two cavalry kept galloping from far and near, and it turned out to be cavalry! The two roads are full of black cavalry, and there are no more than 10,000 elite horsemen on each road!
Ten thousand horses galloping, like a flood roaring, momentum like thunder, rolling endlessly, the momentum is shocking, the sound is powerful and the ghosts and gods, two big flags waving in the wind, each with a big black lacquer big character.
Yanmen 'Zhang'
Luoyang 'Xu'.
The two generals in the head, each across the horse with a knife, the war horse and the horse, the military general is strong, and the big knife in his hand is even more dazzling, reflecting the sprinkling of brilliance, and the cold light flickers, which makes people's spines cold.
"It's Yanmen Zhang Liao and Rongyang Xu Rong!"
When they saw the appearance of the person who came, the princes couldn't help but exclaim, and many princes laughed again, no matter what, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on their side, even if the other party is a cavalry, the sum of the two roads is only 20,000.
"Meng De, Dong Zhuo finally sent troops to intercept it, so it seems that Dong Zhuo is not bluffing." I thought that things were going too smoothly, but I was still a little suspicious in my heart, but since the other party's soldiers and horses appeared, Sun Jian was relieved.
Dong Zhuo has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, if the allies really go all the way unimpeded, it is not normal, in Sun Jian's opinion, it is reasonable for Zhang Liao and Xu Rong to appear here.
"General Sun, hehe, don't you think it's a little weird? We are waiting for the army to be mighty and approaching Luoyang, even if Dong Zhuo wants to send troops to intercept it, it should be in front of us. A figure suddenly flashed behind Cao Cao, the other party was dignified, plump and gentle, seemingly a little upright and loyal, and his gentle smile also made people feel useful. (To be continued.) )
