Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Alliance

In the north of Luoyang, in Mengjin Pass, Dong Yue, Jia Xu, and Gao Shun watched their soldiers pile up some heavy baggage and firewood and grass into piles after piles.

Dong Yue, whose face was slightly feminine, had a look of regret in his eyes, and sighed: "Wenhe, do you really want to evacuate Mengjin and burn these baggage?" ”

Jia Xu, who was standing silently on the side, said in a deep voice: "General, now that Xiangguo has retreated to Mianchi, King Shenwu is going east to attack General Xu, and Yuan Shao has passed on the group of thieves from Guandong to enter Luoyang, Luoyang has no power to return to the sky, and if we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." ”

Dong Yue hesitated: "Xu Rong may not be defeated, and Yuan Shao may not dare to attack Mengjin if he loses his troops, right?" ”

"Xu Rong will lose." Jia Xu's tone was flat but very affirmative: "The key lies in King Shenwu, since the Battle of Huailing, King Shenwu has calculated the overall situation every step of the way, I look at his people, especially good at anticipating the enemy's opportunity and taking advantage of the situation, can make the Xiangguo soldiers enter Hanoi in a word, and provoke the millions of people in Luoyang with a word, and it is an ambush in the north of the mountain to ambush Xiangguo, and force the landing of General Duan Xuan, our generals, Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao, and the thieves in the eastern part of the country, all of them are in his calculations. ”

Jia Xu was a little dazed in his eyes: "Who is he?" It seems that I have anticipated the present qi qi a long time ago, and can anticipate our every step, and expect things like gods, nothing more than this. ”

Hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Dong Yue couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously said, "Could it be that we are retreating now, and it is also in his expectation?" ”

Jia Xu nodded: "Exactly, but the shape is pressing, and we still have to retreat." ”

Dong Yue said a little dejectedly: "Such a person is the enemy of us, what can we do?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "He also has weaknesses. ”

"Wen He, come and listen." Dong Yue's eyes lit up.

Jia Xu said calmly: "He is the longest at scheming, calculating step by step, but it also shows that his strength is weak, not enough to fight against Xiangguo, otherwise he can defeat us and occupy Luoyang exclusively, why bother to calculate and bring in the Kwantung thieves with their own intentions, so the best way to deal with him is to destroy it directly with absolute superiority." ”

Jia Xu looked to the west: "And Xiangguo, now we should be mobilizing the army of Guanzhong, we happen to join forces with Xiangguo to strengthen our strength." ”

"Wen He, Wen You, there is really Zhang Liang's talent." Dong Yue nodded again and again when he heard this, looked at Jia Xu's eyes full of respect, and then sighed: "It's a pity that Wen You was captured by King Shenwu, but he doesn't know what life and death are?" ”

Dong Yue suddenly thought of something, and said: "Wenhe, Ling Lang Jiaji stayed at Xiaopingjin Pass that day, was raided by King Shenwu, and has no whereabouts so far, could it be that he was captured like Wenyou?" ”

Jia Xu's face twitched, and his eyes were a little more gloomy: "The war is in chaos, who can save not to die, and listen to the fate of heaven." ”

At this moment, a soldier came to report: "There is movement in Yuan Shao's army on the other side of the river." ”

"It's really as Wenhe expected!" Dong Yue couldn't help but exclaim again.

Jia Xu's face was expressionless: "This Shenwu King's calculation, Yuan Shao crossed the river, it was only in time." ”

Dong Yue said hatefully: "In the previous battle in Hanoi, Yuan Shao ordered us to lose our troops, and this time we will definitely hate him." ”

……

Back to Luoyang, Ji Ping divided the money and grain and grass seized from Bi Guiyuan to Cao Cao and Bao Xin, the two couldn't help but be overjoyed, Xingyang battle, their strength was greatly damaged, and now Ji Ping's gift of property and grain and grass is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and the two immediately went to recruit troops and horses everywhere in Luoyang.

Min Gong and Yuan Ji had organized more than 50,000 people who were willing to leave Luoyang, and the families of the recruited soldiers to cross the river and move to Dongyuan and Shangdang County, accompanied by 2,000 new soldiers, and most of the palace's books, Taicang's grain, and money and cloth were also taken away.

And Ji Ping then "disappeared", it should be said that the "Shenwu King" wearing a hideous mask disappeared, except for the personal guard battalion, all the soldiers under him were handed over to Zhang Liao.

Today, it is Yanmen Taishou Zhang Liao, Fenwu General Cao Cao, and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin stationed in Luoyang. Cao Cao and Bao Xin were still recruiting soldiers everywhere, and Zhang Liao now had 25,000 men.

There are 20,000 young and strong, trained day and night by Duan Xuan and Xun Di in the West Garden, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses, led by Zhang Liao himself, are stationed outside the imperial city on the east gate Buguangli, garrisoning Taicang.

As for the Ghost Shadow Department of the Guard Battalion, led by Geng Zhong, they were hidden in the North Palace, and most of the Flying Shadow Department were scattered among the people of Luoyang, and continued to recruit reliable folk rangers.

On the afternoon of February 24, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, and Cui Jun, the Taishou of Hexi, led 15,000 horsemen and soldiers into Mengjin Pass.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed to enter the customs, but was burned by a fire, pursued in anger, and was beaten by Gao Shun, who was in ambush.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo's army withdrew without a trace, it was getting late, Yuan Shao did not dare to pursue, entered Luoyang overnight, and lived in the former Sili Captain's Mansion, and a large flag of Yuan Zi floated.

On the same night, Hu Zhen, who was stationed at the three passes of Yique, Taigu and Xuanyuan on the southern line of Luoyang, secretly evacuated, and was ambushed by Zhang Liao in the northwest of Luoyang, losing nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses, and finally entered Hangu Pass west to join Dong Zhuo.

In the next few days, Luoyang became lively again, and Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Cui Jun asked Zhang Liao for some money and grain, and also began to recruit soldiers.

In early March, the Yellow River froze.

Later generals Yuan Shu, Yuzhou Assassin Kong Ling, Chenliu County Taishou Zhang Miao, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai, Guangling County Taishou Zhang, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Shanyang County Taishou Yuan Yi, Jizhou Mu Hanfu and other princes of the vanguard troops rushed to Luoyang, one after another banners were erected.

As for their grain, grass and baggage, they are still coming slowly.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin recruited nearly 8,000 soldiers, who were trained day and night by the Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong.

Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Cui Jun's soldiers and horses also increased to 20,000.

First come, first served, the later princes had no money and grain and grass to support, Zhang Liao directly moved most of the remaining grain in Taicang to the West Garden, supplying 20,000 soldiers, but his 5,000 soldiers and horses still lived in Buguangli, Shangdongmen.

Among the princes, there are Yuan Shu and Liu Dai to Zhang Liao to ask for food, but Zhang Liao refused, although the two secretly hated, but did not dare to move, now Zhang Liao has 25,000 soldiers and horses, the strength is almost the same as the strongest Zhang Miao, enough to deter all the princes.

In addition, all the princes from all walks of life are secretly investigating a piece of news, where is the Shenwu King who repelled Dong Zhuo and caused this earth-shaking scene?

Since they entered Luoyang, except for the legend of King Shenwu among the people, there has been no other news about King Shenwu.

He even entered the palace many times to search, but there were no clues.

Yanmen Taishou Zhang Liao is naturally the biggest object of suspicion of the princes, but it turns out that Zhang Liao and King Shenwu appeared at the same time, so it is impossible to be the same person.

And Zhang Liao only said that he was an ally with King Shenwu before, but he didn't know his identity, and now he doesn't know where King Shenwu went.

Therefore, today's princes from all walks of life have no chance even if they want to verify the identity of King Shenwu.

And where is Ji Ping at this time?

He was lying lazily on the couch under a pavilion in the West Garden of the North Palace, the absurd place of the former Spirit Emperor, surrounded by a large group of women, and there was a yin moon...... Mother He Hou, wife Tang Wan, and mother Li, and in the distance are Geng Zhong, Shi A, Zhu Ao, Pan Feng, and Pan Yin.

That's right, just a few days ago, on the last day of the Yellow River's ice pass, He Hou, Tang Wan and Li Shiquan secretly came over under the secret protection of Lu Zhi and Tang Fang.

For just one reason, they heard that Ji Ping was injured.

When he learned the news of the arrival of his mother, adoptive mother and wife, he was stunned, which is why he hid his identity.

It was the Kwantung princes who would ally with Luoyang, and his family was also in Luoyang.

He Hou and Li strictly ordered him not to move around, that is, to stay in Xiyuan, and let Li Shi, who is proficient in medical skills, and Tang Wan, a beginner, treat his injuries.

And Tang Wan didn't mind Yin Muyue's appearance, but was very grateful to her for saving Ji Ping's life, including He Hou and Li, who were not from high-ranking families, and quickly accepted Yin Muyue.

In addition to following the Li family to heal Ji Ping's injuries every day, Tang Wan also began to practice martial arts with Yin Muyue, and Yin Muyue was also greatly surprised by Tang Wan's qualifications, and the two stuck together every day, like sisters, which made Ji Ping breathe a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, he seems to have returned to his old days as a librarian, every day is to read books, take a walk, sleep, in addition, there are two more lovely wives, two chattering mothers, only let him immerse himself in this beautiful and warm feeling, only wish to stay in these days for the rest of his life.

He, in fact, is a lazy person.
