Chapter 245: Luoyang Turmoil
In September of the first year of Liang Xingwu (the third year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, 192 AD), Luoyang changed drastically.
Wang Yun united with Min Gong, Lu Bu and others, and when Dong Zhuo's 3,000 imperial forest army left Luoyang to suppress the surrounding rebellion, he killed Dong Zhuo, the son of Liang Tian, in the Deyang Palace, in the name of offering the map of Jiangshan Sheji, and killed Dong Zhuo, the son of Liang Tian, in Deyang Palace, and Li Ru, Yang Biao and other ministers were also executed.
As for Dong Zhuo's family, he was even more abandoned to the city, and thousands of heads fell to the ground.
Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun and others welcomed Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty who was demoted to Chen Liugong, as the emperor, restored the country to Han, and changed the Yuan Jian'an (three years in advance, the Jian'an year was counted from 193 AD), spread the world, and the vassals.
Wang Yun, Huang Wan and other ministers who are cadres and shareholders are all high-ranking officials and have become the biggest winners of the downfall.
LΓΌ Bu also got the official title with the permission of the king, and actively recruited troops.
When the news spread, all sides were shaken, and the whole world was shocked.
Although the emperor took turns to sit, the speed of the change of dynasty was too fast.
The Han family had just been killed, and Dong Zhuo's emperor had not been in office for a few days before he was replaced by the banner of the Han Dynasty.
The situation is changing so quickly that everyone is at a loss.
After hearing the news, the generals such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, who were in charge of the troops, led the army to withdraw to Luoyang as soon as possible.
Tiger Prison Pass, Guan* Dongqin King Coalition Army Battalion.
"What, Dong Zhuo was killed?"
After Yuan Shao received the news, he was immediately shocked.
"What, Dong Zhuo is dead?"
Cao Cao was also shocked, and his little eyes rolled wildly.
The princes were all shocked. Such a thing is just too big.
Dong Zhuo died, and the situation in the world changed dramatically in an instant. No one can grasp the context.
Jizhou military camp.
Tian Feng let out a long breath and was the first to come back to his senses. Ning said: "Lord, there is a good opportunity now, please send troops into King Jingqin as soon as possible, completely defeat the Xiliang Rebellion, and serve the Son of Heaven to please the minister." β
"This ......"
Yuan Shao's eyes froze, and he said with a lack of interest: "Dong Zhuo is dead, more than 100,000 Xiliang troops will inevitably be in chaos, and this general only has 20,000 soldiers and horses left, what can he do if he goes." Don't act rashly and wait until the situation is clear. β
Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Lord, the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again!" β
Yuan Shao said categorically: "Yuan Hao doesn't need to say much, my mind has been decided!" β
"Alas!"
Tian Feng sighed deeply and had no choice but to retreat.
Cao Cao's camp.
"Lord, what a chance!"
Cheng Yu was also keenly aware of the opportunity, and said in a condensed voice: "If Dong Zhuo is dead, the Xiliang Army will inevitably be in chaos." At present, Wang Yun and others welcome the Son of Heaven to the throne. The Han Dynasty was restored, but there were not many soldiers and horses in Luoyang, and if they could break the Xiliang Rebellion in one fell swoop, they would completely control Luoyang. You can serve the Son of Heaven to please the minister, and the great cause of the lord can be expected! β
"This ......"
Cao Cao's little eyes rolled sharply, and he also realized a huge opportunity.
But the problem is. I only have 3,000 soldiers and horses left, even if the opportunity is sent to the door. I can't catch it.
The Xiliang Rebellion Army has more than 100,000 soldiers, and they have a little bit of soldiers. It was not enough to go to Luoyang to stuff people's teeth.
Cao Cao sighed and muttered, "If such a big thing happens, the princes will inevitably stop and make a decision when the situation is clear." I only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, what can I do if I go to Luoyang! β
Cheng Yu also sighed: "It's a pity that such a good opportunity, even if the lord can incorporate Liu Yanzhou's old department, it is only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he can't control the overall situation even if he goes to the left and right, it's a pity!" β
Cao Cao suddenly said: "No, even if you know that you can't do it, you have to enter Luoyang!" β
Cheng Yu was stunned, then understood, and said excitedly: "The lord is wise, it is indeed a clever plan to enter Luoyang, but I don't know if Yuan Shao will also enter Luoyang, if Yuan Shao can be pulled, it will be better." β
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Yuan Benchu is so happy with his achievements, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he will never enter Luoyang." β
Cheng Yu said: "How can you see it, even if Yuan Shao can't see the current situation clearly, Tian Feng, the strategist under his command, is not a simple person, and he will definitely be able to see the huge benefits of entering Luoyang, so he can't persuade Yuan Shao to enter the army." β
Cao Cao said: "Even if Tian Feng persuaded him, with Cao's understanding of Yuan Shao, this person would not enter Luoyang!" β
Cheng Yu had a different opinion, but he didn't say it.
Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted: "Quickly summon all the generals to come to discuss the matter!" β
"Yes!"
Cheng Yu agreed and immediately ran out.
An hour later.
Cao Cao went to see the princes from all walks of life, and asked the princes from all walks of life to send troops to Luoyang, and King Qin escorted him.
As expected, none of the princes were interested in marching into Luoyang.
Even Tao Qian, who has always had the idea of supporting the Han family, did not dare to rush into Luoyang before he could not see the situation clearly.
Cao Cao angrily scolded the princes, scolded the princes with blue faces, and then walked away, and led three thousand Qu troops out of the tiger prison to kill Luoyang and enter the king of Jingqin, although the princes were angry, but they also had to sigh, Cao Mengde is really a hero!
At the same time, Yuan Shu, who was attacking Dagu Pass, and Liu Biao, who was outside the garrison Wuguan, also led the army to retreat after receiving the news, and did not take the opportunity to enter Luoyang, obviously not planning to enter King Qin.
When Cao Cao led his army to Luoyang, Li Dao's army was storming Luoyang.
"What, Cao Cao led the army to catch up?"
After Li Dao heard the report, he was immediately furious, and said through gritted teeth: "Cao Cao's puppet, only 3,000 soldiers and horses also rushed up to send him to death, and ordered Li Heng's troops and horses to attack, and killed Cao Cao's puppet for this general!" β
"Yes!"
A herald had already answered the order loudly and walked away.
Li Heng led an army of 10,000 troops from his headquarters to attack, and went away with a fierce slaughter.
Cao Cao led the army to meet the attack, and was soon killed and defeated, and the 3,000 districts were scattered and fled, Cao Cao was guarded by Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and other clan generals, desperately fought out a bloody road, and ran to the road.
Li Heng led the army to chase for dozens of miles, and Fang led the army back.
Outside Luoyang City, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the corpses were everywhere.
50,000 Xiliang troops surrounded the four gates of Luoyang and were attacking with all their might.
At the east gate of Luoyang, Lu Bu was soaked in blood, wielding Fang Tian's halberd and struggling to kill the enemy, his arms were numb and unconscious, but he couldn't stop at all, and there were dense soldiers of the Xiliang Army in front and back.
Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Zang Ba and other generals also stained their clothes with blood, all fighting to the death.
"This, this, how can this be?"
Not far away, Wang Yun's mouth trembled, and his whole body was trembling.
Such a situation was indeed something he did not expect.
I thought that as long as Dong Zhuo was killed, once the Xiliang army was in chaos, the Kwantung princes would take advantage of the situation to march and completely break the Xiliang rebellion in one fell swoop, and the overall situation would be decided, but the Xiliang rebellion army came, but the princes' Qinwang army did not arrive.
Seeing that the Xiliang Rebellion Army was storming the city day and night, and Luoyang was about to be lost, Wang Yun was already completely panicked.
Not only Wang Yun panicked, but the civil and military officials all panicked, and the Son of Heaven also panicked. (To be continued......) R1292
