In the first month, the Kwantung princes pretended to raise an alliance under the banner of King Hongnong, which was abolished by Dong Zhuo, causing King Hongnong to be killed by Dong Zhuo.

From the beginning of the army, Xu You mentioned to Yuan Shao that if the army was raised in the name of King Hongnong, King Hongnong would die. But Yuan Shao and some Kwantung princes didn't care about this, and even had the intention of coincidentally in private.

What they need now is not a son of heaven, but the authority to recruit troops and horses.

Since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty set the capital in Luoyang, the Kwantung family has crushed the Guanxi family in politics, but Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, abolishing the establishment, and moving the capital this time is a blow to the Kansai family on behalf of the Kansai family, so the Kanto family has also begun to control the military power.

But if King Hongnong is not dead, then the shape is complicated!

Not only Yuan Shao was stunned, but Xu Yu and Feng Ji on the side were also a little sluggish after listening to what Chun Yuqiong said.

Then Xu You shook his head: "This rumor must be wrong, after King Hongnong was deposed, he has been banned in the deep palace for Dong Zhuo, at that time He Jin died, Empress Dowager He also died, the ten permanent servants were killed by the lord, King Hongnong was isolated, after we raised troops, King Hongnong was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, this world is well known!" What's more, Dong Zhuo is tyrannical and unkind, and has a great enmity with King Hongnong to abolish the emperor, kill his mother, and kill his uncle, and it is impossible to let go of King Hongnong. ”

Feng Ji also said: "During the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu was unconscious, but after being harmed by the Qin State, the people of Chu were all sad for King Huai, and they all thought of King Huai, and Xiang Liang raised troops. He also set up the king, and now the king of Hongnong was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the people of Luoyang also think of the king of Hongnong. Hence this rumor. ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly covered up: "If King Hongnong is here." Naturally, it is very good, we can re-establish King Hongnong as the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, and confront Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately, this Shenwu King is a pseudo-king. ”

Xu You glanced at Feng Ji and said: "Your words are bad, King Hongnong succeeded to the throne for only half a year and was abolished, and he was in the palace when he was the emperor. Without the authority of the Son of Heaven, there is no size in the world, but it is just a puppet ear, even if the people of Luoyang know the name of King Hongnong? Now that there are such rumors, I am afraid that it is not groundless. ”

"What does Ziyuan mean by this?" Yuan Shao was startled, and his face changed again.

Xu You said: "I am afraid that there are ill-intentioned people who secretly spread rumors, intending to support King Shenwu in the name of King Hongnong. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, staring at Chun Yuqiong: "Where is King Shenwu now?" ”

"King Shenwu is now in the sun, but the last general has found out one more thing." Chun Yuqiong's eyes showed a little strangeness: "Master Taifu." There is also the Imperial Servant, who seems to be under the hands of King Shenwu......"

Yuan Shao's face became extremely ugly, and he even felt a chill in his heart. Originally, the power and influence of the Yuan clan of the fourth and third princes were only shared and contested by him and Yuan Shu, but now he actually joined the Shenwu King who was killed in the middle of the way, and both Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji can represent the Yuan clan better than him and Yuan Shu.

"Chun Yuqiong, immediately find out the whereabouts and identity of King Shenwu for me!" Yuan Shao's voice was unprecedentedly cold: "If we increase the intensity of conscription, we must do our best to restore our strength and make plans again." ”

……

After receiving the news of Dongyuan Yiqiē stability in Hanoi, Ji Ping's heart was relieved. Instead of turning to Dongyuan, he returned directly to Luoyang. By the time we arrived at the palace, it was already dark again.

The next two days. Ji Ping did not go to the western front of Luoyang, and he now sent several of his fierce generals, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the most elite army to the western front.

In terms of improvisation, Zhang Liao is no worse than him, and in terms of fighting, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are a hundred times stronger than him, and it doesn't make much sense for him to go again, so he and Cui Jun and Min Gong made every effort to arrange for the people west of the Luoyang Palace to retreat.

Moreover, Yuan Shao also learned to be smart this time, digging traps and trenches in front of Bi Guiyuan, so that Lu Bu's cavalry could not attack for a while, and several attacks were fruitless, and Yuan Shao's army did not attack, and temporarily confronted.

On the West Garden, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei organized several attacks, but they were calmly resolved by the scheming Jia Xu, forming a stalemate.

During this period, Yuan Shao and the princes of Kwantung also recruited a large number of troops and grain from the people of Xicheng in Luoyang, Ji Ping was unable to stop it, and now the Luoyang shape shì is precarious, and the husband is responsible, it is difficult to distinguish between the army and the people, and the people can naturally contribute, Ji Ping just asked Cui Jun to arrange the old and weak women and children.

Most of the people in Xicheng were bypassing the palace and retreating to the east of Luoyang, but there were still a large number of people who refused to evacuate, especially some people who had been conscripted, believing that since they were conscripted, Yuan Shao and other princes should protect them.

But the truth is cruel, after three days of confrontation between Bi Guiyuan and Lu Bu, Lu Bu's army was short of food, and the captain Guo Yan, Lu Bu's subordinates Wei Xu, Song Xian and others led cavalry to bypass Bi Guiyuan, and the soldiers rushed into Luoyang in three ways, killing and looting, and setting fire everywhere.

Although they were repelled by a small ambush by Ji Ping and Cui Jun, who had been prepared, they were scared all the way back, but there was still a long way into the depth of Luoyang, and there were many casualties among the people, and a large number of houses were burned down, which really frightened the people who stayed behind, and hurriedly retreated.

When retreating, Ji Ping asked the sergeants and civilians to scatter some large debris such as water tanks, tables, and trees that could not be taken away on the road to prevent Dong Zhuo's cavalry from rushing again.

Three days later, a battle report came from the southern front of Luoyang, and on the second day of Yuan Shu's defense of Yique Pass, he engaged Dong Min's army, which suddenly came from the south, and fought fiercely.

Ji Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although Yuan Shu's military ability was average, as long as he was guarding Yique Pass, it would be no problem to resist Dong Min. And if Dong Min wants to attack Taigu Pass from outside Yique Pass, it will take at least ten days.

The south line of Luoyang is stable for the time being.

In Hanoi County, Liu Bei successfully entered Huai County, and Wang Kuangbu returned Han Hao to Shun, led by Duan Xuan together with 800 soldiers. Before Hedong County, Ji Ping took control of Hanoi County first, which Xun You probably didn't expect at the beginning.

However, there was also news from Hedong County that Lu Zhi took Gai Shun and Duan Jin to collect and surrender Yang Feng's 3,000 Baibo army, and broke Li Dao, who led dozens of horsemen to flee in a hurry and defected to Zhang Ji, who was fighting with the remnants of the Baibo army in Pingyang.

Lu Zhi took advantage of the situation to advance into Anyi, Dayang and Jiangyi, and took control of the eastern part of Hedong County.

At the same time, with the concerted efforts of both sides of the river. Tens of thousands of people were mobilized, and the Xiaopingjin pontoon bridge was finally built, although it is still being widened. But it can already be passed.

Ji Ping asked Xun Di to demolish Xiaopingjin Pass and widen the road. Min Gong arranged for the people to start crossing the river.

On 24 March, 50,000 people had crossed the river in Xiaopingjin.

On the Beibi Mountain Road, a team of more than 1,000 people appeared in Xiaopingjin, but it was Yuan Shao who sent the general Guo Yuan to lead the troops to escort Wang Kuang Lingshu to Hanoi.

Ji Ping couldn't help sneering after receiving the news, Wang Kuang is from Taishan County, but now Yuan Shao sent his soul to Hanoi, it was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword and intended Pei Gong, I am afraid that he was plotting against Hanoi County.

He didn't stop him. Just let Xun Di escort people across the river, and when he arrived in Hanoi, he handed it over to Duan Xuan and Liu Bei to deal with, with Liu Bei's interpersonal methods, it was just a knife to kill chickens.

On March 25, Ji Ping's spy Feiying sent news from Xin'an that Dong Zhuo sent a letter to Guguan again, this time with a full 20,000 cavalry, under the banner of "Yan"!

Hearing the news, Ji Ping was expressionless, but his heart was tight. The real big crisis in Luoyang is coming!

He knew that the banner of "Yan" was Yan Zhong of Liangzhou, who led Ma Teng and Han Sui.

When Ji Ping was in Dongyuan. He once talked to Huangfu Li about the Liangzhou form, and Huangfu Li mentioned that in addition to Dong Zhuo, there are Yan Zhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui in the current Liangzhou Corps.

In the first year of Zhongping, that is, six years ago, Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban rebellion, and his subordinate Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Liangzhou, persuaded him to take the opportunity to coup and replace the Han Dynasty. Huangfu Song did not obey, and Yan Zhong fled.

Same. Liangzhou Sheng rebelled with Gong Boyu and Li Wenhou in the north, and Liangzhou celebrities Bian Zhang and Han Sui joined the rebels. Three years later. Han Sui mutinied, killed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang, and attacked Longxi County with 100,000 troops.

Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng contempt recruited the children of the six counties of Liangzhou to recruit Han Sui, but Geng contempt did not use people properly, and he advanced with untrained recruits, leading to internal strife. Geng's subordinate army Sima Ma Teng and the Hanyang Kingdom led the army to defect to the Han Sui rebels, and Han Sui and Ma Teng jointly promoted the kingdom as the leader, and the troops entered Sanfu to surround Chen Cang.

Emperor Ling sent the left general Huang Fu Song, the former general Dong Zhuo, each led 20,000 people to the conquest, in February last year, Huang Fu Song and Dong Zhuo won a complete victory, cut more than 10,000 levels, Han Sui and others jointly abolished the kingdom, kidnapped Yan Zhong as the commander, coerced Sanfu, and became another major force in Liangzhou.

Dong Zhuo's appeasement of Yan Zhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui was something that Ji Ping had expected and could not stop, although the Liangzhou Military Group was fighting internally, but externally, under the consensus of the Liangzhou family, it would be twisted into a rope.

Now that the Kanto family has raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, it is only a matter of time before the Kansai family unites.

This is also one of the reasons why Ji Ping has never been committed to attacking Guanzhong, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were close to the Guandong family, and even at the instigation of the Guandong family, they once wanted to abandon Liangzhou, causing the Liangzhou family to be centrifuged and rebelled.

In this way, even if Ji Ping gave up his original plan and relied on the support of the Kwantung princes to proclaim himself emperor in Luoyang, I am afraid that at that time, the Kansai families in Liangzhou and even Longyou, Chang'an, and Bingzhou would immediately give up waiting and see and fully support Liu Xie.

With the current military strength of Kanto, he did not hold out any hope, not to mention that the small basin of Luoyang is adjacent to Hangu Pass, a horse and a flat river, and the pass is uncertain, and calling the emperor here is the rhythm of death.

Now, his only option is to unite with the Kwantung princes to delay the attack of Dong Zhuo's army and let the people of Luoyang withdraw as much as possible.

After the construction of the Xiaopingjin pontoon bridge was completed, he immediately ordered Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji to take people to Mengjin Pass to build a second pontoon bridge, and at the same time sent a message to Han Fu and led troops to assist.

On March 26, Dong Zhuo's army arrived on the western front of Luoyang, and Xiyuan and Biguiyuan each increased by 10,000 cavalry, and the battle was imminent.

In the afternoon, at the southern Pingcheng Gate of the Luoyang Palace, Ji Ping was about to take the guard battalion to Xicheng to check the situation, when suddenly a horse from the south rushed over, looking at the costume, it was clearly Yuan Shu's soldiers.

Ji Ping's heart couldn't help but burst.

The soldier had obviously been covered in blood after a hard battle, and after handing Ji Ping a cloth bag, he fainted.

Ji Ping seemed to think of something, his body trembled, and he slowly opened the cloth bag, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and there was a blood-stained little finger inside! (To be continued)
