Chapter 61: Luoyang Blockade
In fact, who sits in the world is the same for ordinary people, it doesn't matter who the emperor is, the key is to be able to live a good life, but unfortunately some people in this world just don't want to live like this, they hope to live better, who else in this world has a better life than the emperor, of course, this is for those who are hungry for profit, so there are naturally disputes and even wars in the world, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is for a good word.
After getting the news, Meng Ge thought a lot, the opportunity to settle the country in the first war was buried by Dong Zhuo in vain, he knew that the world was not far away, for Dong Zhuo, a fat man, Meng Ge no longer had any hope, maybe he was a hero in the past, and he accumulated great strength before the beginning of the troubled times, but he was not liberated from the previous role.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's past deeds, it is not difficult to find that his means of success are not above board, whether it is self-respect for the army, or calming the chaos, he only knows how to blindly preserve his strength, and to this day he still only knows this, Dong Zhuo lacks the courage to fight to the death with the enemy, and he knows to retreat if he has a slight setback, so he can't become a climate, Meng Ge has long seen this, but he thinks that people can change slowly, but now it seems that he thinks highly of Dong Zhuo.
"It looks like I should go back too, otherwise it won't be fun to let people make dumplings!" Meng Ge shook his head helplessly, blew out the lights and went to sleep, it's useless to think about it now, it's better to rest early, anyway, I'm going home, but unfortunately I have to move again.
The next time is Chang'an, where is the land of the pre-Qin period, it can be regarded as Meng Ge's hometown, where the ancestor Meng Tian lived, but unfortunately it is no longer the capital of the past, and Meng Tian is long gone, everything about this famous general is drowned in the dust of history, but I may have to start writing a new chapter there again......
This time the battle behind the enemy line because of the appearance of Dong Zhuo, disrupted Menggo's strategic deployment, so it can only be regarded as half the success, although it cut off the grain route in the south of the coalition army, but unfortunately the supply in the east is enough, now even if Meng Ge cuts off the east grain route again, he can only end up being besieged, so he must leave, losing the pressure of the tiger prison in the west, the Kwantung princes will have the strength to clean him up, although Meng Ge is not afraid, but he doesn't want to try the feeling of being beaten.
Presumably the Kwantung princes are now angry and their teeth are trembling, Meng Ge doesn't want to provoke them at this time, so as not to attract bad luck, it will not be good, the second said that Meng Ge let go of the troops who wanted to go, and sent a lot of money and food (robbed a lot, and it was a waste to put it), if you are willing to stay, stay and serve him, most of the 2,000 people who were surrendered by Meng Ge left, and there were only more than 600 people left, and Meng Ge accepted so much.
Bringing the ashes of the fallen brethren again, Mongo went on the road again, this time he was going back, Gongsun Chan was very generous, and gave him more than 4,000 horses, countless grains and grasses, leaving enough to use, and the rest were all sent by Mongo, of course, except for gold and silver treasures, Mongo robbed more than 3,000 gold this time, which is considered to be a fortune, and it takes a lot of cars just to transport, in general, this time Mongo is considered to have made a lot of money.
The high-spirited Dong Zhuo suffered a defeat in the Tiger Prison Pass, and was frightened half to death by the momentum of the 300,000 troops of the Kwantung princes, and immediately prepared to flee Luoyang after returning to Luoyang, and moved the capital to Chang'an, although this is also a strategy to preserve strength, and it can barely be regarded as clever.
Giving up Luoyang to let the Kwantung princes fight, it was originally a clever move, but in Menggo's view, it was a bit petty, far less than the atmosphere of the first war, although it could invisibly disintegrate the Kwantung princes, but in this way, it also lost the power to seize the world, and it may take several years to make a comeback, which can be regarded as a gain and loss.
Choosing to do this in the case of almost equal strength, in fact, it is also a half-trick, it looks wonderful on the surface, but who can say clearly behind it, the loss of the most prosperous Luoyang, the loss is not just a piece of land, how many things have been lost behind this, Meng Gobi knows to everyone, the most important of which is to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the deterrence of the princes, and now everyone can see that the emperor has become an ornament.
On the way back, Meng Ge thought about these things all the way, unconsciously passed by Xuanyuan Mountain, and then went around to Yiyang, and then crossed Luoshui, unconsciously Meng Ge was close to Luoyang, it took ten days, Meng Ge finally came back, the road that Meng Ge passed through is not easy to walk, easy to defend and difficult to attack, more dangerous than the Tiger Pass, plus Luoshui cut off the road, it is impossible to surprise the sneak attack, the reason why the Kwantung princes did not sneak attack Luoyang from here, it is precisely for this consideration, Mongo also had to take this path as a last resort.
Seeing that Luoyang was in front of him, Lian Chengbi had a feeling of being in a different world, although he had only been away for about a month, he had experienced many things, which made him feel like he was dreaming, not only him, but also Yang Min.
"General, we're finally back!" Yang Min looked at Luoyang City in front of him excitedly.
Meng Ge nodded, he finally came back, but the current Luoyang is definitely not the Luoyang of a month ago, I'm afraid today's Luoyang has become a purgatory on earth, with Meng Ge's understanding of Dong Zhuo, Meng Ge doesn't think that Dong Fat will let go of such a good opportunity to plunder, he has to leave anyway, and he will keep it for others, and Dong Fat will definitely not leave any high Kwantung princes.
"Let's go, let's see what Luoyang has become!" Meng Ge was slightly interested, and the team slowly drove towards the ancient capital of the past, and vaguely Meng Ge had already seen the ruined Luoyang City.
I'm afraid Luoyang has been burned, Meng Ge thought boredly, just when Meng Ge was thinking nonsense, the scout came to report that there was a group of people fleeing in front of him in the west, looking at the outfit should be the appearance of ordinary people, and asked about the situation, they were fleeing, and the general situation seemed to be the vanguard of the Kwantung princes.
Meng Ge frowned, the vanguard has arrived, it seems that he still overestimated Dong Zhuo, I thought that this fat man could last for half a month, but I didn't expect him to slip faster than a rabbit, and he gave up Luoyang City so quickly, and he came back in vain.
"How many people are fleeing? What is the general situation, and where are the enemy forces? β
"General Hui, we are only twelve miles away from Luoyang, our army is now located in the south direction of Luoyang, according to the report of the fleeing crowd, it is conservatively estimated that the enemy army is only twenty miles away from Luoyang, located in the east direction, the enemy army marches very fast, it is estimated that Luoyang can be reached within half an hour."
The scouts quickly reported the situation of the enemy army, and Meng Ge thought about it carefully, according to this situation, it seems that the enemy vanguard is almost in Luoyang, but there are still so many people who have not fled, and Meng Ge looked at the crowd fleeing west in the distance with unspeakable worry.
"Yin Pofu, Yang Min!" After thinking about it for a while, Meng Ge's first order was given to Yin Po Nu and Yang Min, and Meng Ge needed the two of them to complete the escort work.
"The last general!" As soon as the two of them heard this, they immediately fell to one knee and listened carefully to Mongo's orders.
"Lead the bow battalion and baggage battalion, guide the fleeing people all the way, remember to go directly to Chang'an, help the refugees when necessary, don't be stingy with food, as long as you keep enough for ten days, you can also lend the captured military horses to the refugees, try to speed up the march, remember not to panic! If there is a looter or any lawbreaker, there will be no mercy! "Mongo's military order was simple, it was to protect the people from moving west.
Yang Min suddenly became anxious, and said loudly: "General, what should you do like this, if you take away our men and horses, you will have two thousand people left, how is this enough, the number of the other party's vanguard must be quite a lot!" The general should bring more men and horses! β
Although Yang Min had good intentions, Meng Ge didn't care about his words, and said coldly: "Where is there so much nonsense, immediately implement the military order, otherwise the military law will serve!" β
Seeing that Meng Ge was angry, Yin Po hurriedly pulled Yang Min away, Meng Ge's decision was rarely changed, given so many people, of course Meng Ge had some consideration, at this time, it must be easy to make trouble, there are fewer people and you can't control the scene, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, Meng Ge also wanted to send more people, there were a lot of people who fled, and Meng Ge was afraid of chaos halfway.
"The rest of the generals, come with me!" Meng Ge doesn't care too much, directly the great philosopher kills in the northeast direction, he wants to give the so-called vanguard of the coalition army a good look, although I don't know who brought the men and horses, but there must not be many cavalry, Gongsun Chan is finished, Meng Ge is really not afraid of the Kwantung princes.
Sun Jian can be described as high-spirited, the first person to break through Luoyang will be me from now on, looking at the Luoyang City close at hand Sun Jian is extremely happy, but what he doesn't know is that Meng Ge, who is hated by everyone in the Kwantung Princes, has already set his sights on him.
"General, it's not good, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in front, and they are looking for us and galloping!" The news of the scout instantly poured him a basin of cold water, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at this juncture, and Sun Jian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his head.
No, the terrain here is too open, once the cavalry gives full play to the advantage of speed, it is bound to be unstoppable, and it is necessary to find a way to withstand the opponent's attack, Sun Jian, who is constantly sweating on his head, can't figure out how to kill a pair of cavalry at this time, where is this cavalry, Sun Jian is puzzled.
Sun Jian's army is worthy of being experienced in a hundred battles, hearing that the cavalry of the opposing brigade is galloping, he immediately set up a formation, the pikemen are in front, the soldiers behind each holding a shield, the soldiers are staring at the cavalry rushing on the horizon with a resolute face, and they dare not have the slightest slack.
"Crossbowman, wind!" Sun Jian was extremely nervous at this time, killing a team of cavalry at this time, the number seemed to be quite a lot, how dare he be careless.
Not only him, but the generals behind him also didn't dare to be careless, they all held their blades, and looked at the galloping cavalry with a nervous face, the other party's approach was too fierce, Huang Gai and they really couldn't see which army under Dong Zhuo was.
"Stop!" Meng Ge waved his hand, and the soldiers who followed behind him each grabbed the reins, and instantly lined up the phalanx, not chaotic at all, Lian Chengbi was on the left side of Meng Ge, and Dian Wei was on the right side of Meng Ge, this time Meng Ge did not intend to come hard, but just looked at the soldiers of the other side from a distance.
It can be seen that the generals of the coalition forces on the opposite side are still quite capable, so quickly set up the formation, and for the cavalry, they chose to use pikemen to convex forward, and the back is protected by large shields, and the crossbow formation at the back is also specially designed to restrain the cavalry, but the number is a little less, otherwise it is really difficult to do.
Seeing the enemy's cavalry array, the generals in Sun Jian's formation gasped one after another, and the generals speculated one after another, who is this person? How can it be so powerful? This cavalry is definitely the elite of the elite, and who is the one who commands the army? And so on, and so on, permeated everyone's minds.
Just when the complicated atmosphere was spreading little by little, Sun Jian's general Huang Gai was the first to stand up and shouted: "Who will come, dare to stand in the way of my army, Dong thief is gone, and those who know each other surrender quickly, otherwise they will regret it." β
This voice immediately stabilized the slightly twitching military heart, and the soldiers in the array became extremely resolute again one by one, and there was no longer the slightest panic, Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction, although the other party was terrifying, but there was nothing to be afraid of, as long as the other party knew the difficulty and retreated......
Sun Jian thought that there were not many people on the other side, so he would be moved, but he knew that the person at the front suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha, surrender, who are you and me, how can I be the one who surrendered in battle, ridiculous, really ridiculous!" Hahaha! β
"He's Mongo!" Sun Jian was shocked, and the generals in the formation looked sideways, this young man was the devil, and the untraceable Meng Ge who disappeared after the big break with Sun Zan actually appeared here, and the demon king of the mixed world who turned the rear of the coalition army upside down actually came.
When the Kwantung Coalition Army mentioned Menggo, who didn't grit their teeth, but when they really faced this person, even people like Sun Jian who had experienced a hundred battles felt bottomless, and no one knew what the other party would do next.
After a slight shake of his head, Sun Jian reacted and laughed loudly: "Haha, it's really a hero out of a young man, General Meng is bold and overlooked, Sun Jian admires, now Dong Zhuo's defeat has been decided, the general trend has gone, why should General Meng serve him again, not to mention that Dong Thief is rampant and domineering, lawless, and the general should abandon the secret and surrender to the light!" Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it! β
It's this kind of clichΓ© again, Meng Ge heard goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly said: "It's a prize, Meng Ge doesn't dare to be it, but General Sun, you are wrong, I am not serving Dong Xiangguo, I am serving the Han, I am a courtier of the Han, please don't talk nonsense, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't talk nonsense, General Sun remember!" β
Seeing that Meng Ge's dead duck had a hard mouth and didn't admit it, Huang Gai immediately sneered: "Hmph, Huangkou Xiaoer, you fought for that Dong thief on the battlefield and made great contributions to him, who doesn't know that you are a Dong thief's minions, dare not do it, and are not afraid of the world's heroes laughing." β
"Your Excellency?" Meng Ge looked at this veteran curiously, this person's temper is really hot.
"A certain Huang Gai, just a nobody, not worth mentioning!" Huang Gai pretended to stare at Meng Ge with disdain, full of disdain.
This person is Huang Gai, he is a celebrity, isn't it more interesting to arrest him? Mongo thought about it casually in boredom......
