Chapter 46: Transfiguration

Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the rangers, Ji Ping returned to Huailing, if there was no iron wall and ghost shadow, the ranger might have relied on his own merits and disagreed with what he said, but with the strong strength of iron wall and ghost shadow to deter first, the rangers were frustrated first, and they could naturally listen to his words.

Behind him, Duan Jin looked at Ji Ping's back, his eyes were full of surprise and respect, even though he had greatly recognized Ji Ping, the young son of heaven, but Ji Ping's appearance was still greatly unexpected by his expectation to hand over the ranger to Duan Cheng to practice, and Ji Ping drew a topographic map of Luoyang in Huailing, planning how to better deal with Dong Zhuo.

After saving Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi a few days ago, the two of them kept confusing Ji Ping's origin, until they saw Ji Ping take off his mask in Huailing, they were dumbfounded, and their faces became extremely exciting, some were shocked, some were ashamed, and some were confused. As ministers, they know Ji Ping, the deposed son of heaven.

The fact that Ji Ping is still alive has too much impact on them! Therefore, Ji Ping obtained Dong Zhuo's current distribution of troops from the two populations.

The highest military rank under Dong Zhuo is his younger brother Zuo General Dong Min, followed by the six Zhonglang generals, and below the Zhonglang generals are middle-level generals such as captains, captains, and governors.

Dong Zhuo himself had to stay in Luoyang to defend against the Kwantung princes, so it was likely that General Zuo Dong Min would follow the Son of Heaven to drive westward to ensure that Liu Xie was always under control.

The remaining six Zhonglang generals, Dong Zhuo's most trusted Zhonglang general Niu Fu, are fighting hard with 100,000 Baibo troops in Anyi County, Hedong County, and the remaining five Zhonglang generals are guarding the eight passes on all sides of Luoyang and the important land of the Beijing Division.

On the eastern front of Luoyang, Xu Rong, who was the strongest commander, led 5,000 cavalry to garrison the area of Chenggao and Yanshi, guarding the Xuanmen Pass and Bishui Pass in the east and Xuanyuan Pass in the southeast, and resisting more than 70,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang Miao, Zhang, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Cao Cao, etc., who were stationed in Suozao County, 300 miles away. Among them, the revolving door pass is also known as the tiger prison pass.

On the southern line of Luoyang, Hu Zhen, a member of the Liangzhou wang clan promoted by Dong Zhuo, led 5,000 cavalry to garrison the Yique Pass, Taigu Pass, and Guangcheng Pass to resist Yuan Shu, the later general stationed in Luyang, and the Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling stationed in Yingchuan.

On the northern line of Luoyang, Dong Yue, the Zhonglang general of the Dong Zhuo tribe, led 3,000 cavalry to garrison Mengjin and Xiaopingjin to resist Yuan Shao, the general of the chariot cavalry stationed in Hanoi, and Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi. Jia Xu, the commander of Pingjin, was under Dong Yue at this time.

On the western line of Luoyang, it was Zhonglang who took Duan Xuan and brought 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the area of Hangu Pass and Xin'an. Duan Xuan is a member of the Yuanzhi clan of Duan Cheng, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming", and after Duan Cheng's death, Duan Xuan served under Dong Zhuo.

The last Zhonglang will be Lu Bu of the Bingzhou Department, with more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, who will stay in Luoyang with Dong Zhuo.

In addition, there were also Dong Zhuo's 15,000 Huangzhong Yicong and Qiang Hu soldiers, more than 1,000 disciples of Si Li's lieutenant Liu Huan, as well as He Jin and He Miao's old department, and a part of the Praetorian Guard, totaling more than 20,000 people.

Knowing Dong Zhuo's troop distribution, Ji Ping had an even more headache.

Dong Zhuo alone has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, plus more than 15,000 soldiers and horses guarding the eight passes of Luoyang, a total of more than 35,000 people, almost all of them are elites who can fight well.

As for their own soldiers and horses, only the 1,200 people brought from Dongyuan, including 400 archers, 400 Bingzhou soldiers recruited by Zhang Liao, and 400 elite cavalry brought by Huangfu Li from Guanzhong, were trained in Dongyuan for several months, and their ability to coordinate and fight was strong.

Among them, although the four hundred soldiers of the state are new soldiers, they are adjacent to many foreign races, and the folk customs have always been fierce, and they all know Ji Ping's identity, and they are no worse than the soldiers from Guanzhong.

The second is Geng Zhong's three hundred ghosts, although they are eunuchs, but they were originally responsible for the redundant servants of the palace guards, Geng Zhong has always paid attention to drills, and now he is equipped with a horse chopping knife and a crossbow, and his combat effectiveness is not bad, but after all, the number of people is too small, and it is more suitable for unexpected ambush warfare.

Then there is Duan Jin's 600 iron walls, under his usual training, he is very brave and cooperative, but most of these soldiers guarding the tomb are older, and their bodies are not suitable for long-term battles.

Finally, there are the three hundred rangers summoned by Shi A and Zhu Ao, if you talk about individual strength, these rangers may be the strongest, but in terms of overall combat effectiveness, they are the worst.

In addition, Duan Jin also attracted the Wenling Order, the Xianling Order and the Gongling Order, these cemetery orders were all secretly deposed by the rulers outside the government, and now they will naturally not give up when they have the opportunity, with a total of 1,800 people, although the combat power is not as strong as Duan Jin's iron wall.

However, these three cemetery orders basically have little experience in leading troops, and the gang of people under them lack training on weekdays, and there is no way to be loyal, for more than 1,000 people, Ji Ping didn't dare to count on it, so he let them stay in the original imperial mausoleum first, just hope that they can help evacuate the people and grab the baggage when the time comes.

Taken together, his own soldiers who can fight are only in their early 2,000s, compared with Dong Zhuo's more than 30,000 Xiliang elite soldiers, not even one-tenth of it, and he suddenly beat a little drum in his heart, this is simply taking eggs to smash stones!

Not to mention the 20,000 elite soldiers left by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City, as soon as the more than 2,000 soldiers of Nalu Bu and the state were attacked, these soldiers and horses in his hands would probably collapse immediately.

Duan Jin and Geng Zhong are not bad, but in terms of courage and good fighting, they are definitely not Lu Bu's opponents, and Ji Ping is not optimistic at all when they encounter the same troops.

The gap is too big, but Ji Ping is not discouraged, after all, he has long known this situation, if Dong Zhuo is so easy to deal with, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others will not flee from Luoyang at the beginning.

Now he still has the only advantage, that is, the enemy is bright and I am dark, as long as I grasp the opportunity and act in secret, I can ruthlessly Yin Dong Zhuo.

So what he is most afraid of now is that Dong Zhuo showed up their troops and horses in advance, and sent eyeliner for several miles nearby, just in case, especially Jia Xu in Xiaopingjin in the north, who was closely monitored.

He can neither be seen now, nor can he act sooner.

As he analyzed with Lu Zhi and the others, the only chance he could make a move was when Dong Zhuo divided his troops to drive away the people within a radius of 200 miles, and then the 20,000 or 30,000 troops would inevitably disperse, so he could find an opportunity to dispatch.

Otherwise, if you act blindly, instead of saving the people, you will bury all the soldiers who follow you.

However, after thinking about it, he still felt that the troops were too small, so he asked Geng Zhong to send two people to Dongyuan County, and ordered Xun Di to bring a thousand people over.

His original plan was that he would attack from the Imperial Mausoleum, Gaishun would cross the river to ambush from Xin'an, Xun Di would cross the river to ambush from Mianchi, and on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, he would harass Dong Zhuo in batches, but now it seems that Dong Zhuo has too many troops, and the enemy is strong and I am weak, so it is not suitable for dividing troops at all.

So he decided to cancel the plan to ambush in Michi, and still let Gai Shun ambush Xin'an to find an opportunity, and Xun Di as his reinforcement in Luoyang.

It is best to take advantage of the opportunity that Dong Zhuoqian has no time to take care of him, attack from both sides, and directly break Xiaopingjin with lightning speed, pull out this nail, and open up a way to retreat, not only do you have no worries, but the people also have an additional way to evacuate.

Although Jia Xu is resourceful, there are only more than 600 people, and it is useless to plot more under absolute strength, otherwise Jia Xu would not let Zhang Xiu surrender to Cao in history.

And Jia Xu is the best at self-preservation, if the opportunity is wrong, eighty percent will retreat, if he can catch this old poison, Ji Ping **.

On the night of February 15, Ji Ping took out another 300 crossbows from the secret passage and asked those rangers to equip them.

At this moment, these rangers felt that Ji Ping was unfathomable, these crossbows were definitely controlled weapons, which were extremely rare, and they couldn't help but start to guess the true identity of Ji Ping, the prince.

On the night of February 16, Ji Ping was ruthless, and directly asked Geng Zhong to lead people to empty the arsenal of the palace, set fire to the arsenal, and filled the tunnel dozens of zhang from the ground.

On the 17th of February, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, drove out of Luoyang.

In the crowd, Ji Ping watched the cars of tens of thousands of people driving all the way west.

As he expected, Dong Zhuo sent his younger brother Dong Min, the left general, and his nephew, Dong Huang, a lieutenant of the Chinese military academy, to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to follow the west.

The Kwantung princes have been raising troops since the beginning of the first month, and now a month and a half have passed, until the Son of Heaven moves westward, there has been no movement of more than a dozen soldiers and horses.

Watching the car leave, Ji Ping returned to Huailing, if Dong Zhuo wants to drive away the people, he should start the layout now, after all, Luoyang is too big, and it stretches for nearly a hundred miles in the east, west and south, and it is by no means so easy to drive the people away.

And he's going to get ready for action.

That night, Ji Ping first let Geng Zhong's three hundred ghosts enter the palace secret passage, such as today's son Liu Xie has moved west, the palace maids except for the dismissed, taken captive, the rest of the rest with him, Dong Zhuo is also stationed in Bi Guiyuan in the west of the city, and there are only some chaotic soldiers in the palace looking for property.

In the early morning of the next day, he first gave a stick of incense to Emperor Han Chong who was buried in Huailing as usual, saying that Emperor Han Chong was the same as him, and he had only been the emperor for less than five months, but Emperor Chong was even more pitiful, he died at the age of two, and the bloodline of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family was really sighing, fortunately he practiced the Dragon Sutra, otherwise he was afraid that it would be a premature death.

Chinese tradition pays attention to the dead, Ji Ping also pays the most attention to this, although Emperor Chong died small, but it was already forty or fifty years ago, it is the ancestor of Liu Wei, Ji Ping is now hiding soldiers in his cemetery, since he is disrespectful, he will give Emperor Chong a stick of incense every day.

At noon, Ji Ping dined with all the soldiers.

Since the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the general people have two meals per day, the princes and nobles of the famous families have three meals per day, and the Son of Heaven has four meals per day.

Anyway, there is a lot of grain in Taicang, rather than cheapening Dong Zhuo's gang of Qiang Hu soldiers, it is better to let his soldiers eat, and now he has piled up grain in the secret passages that are miles long under the palace, and the winter is dry, and it is not damp, so he will only have the opportunity to transport it out.

After lunch, Ji Ping has to move his muscles and bones, his archery skills are always a little worse, the archer of the Northern Army uses a two-stone bow, and he uses a six-stone bow, his strength is incomparable, but when it comes to the head, he is depressed, every time he shoots an arrow, it is always a little worse.

Just about to walk out of Huailing, suddenly Duan Jin walked in quickly, saluted Ji Xiang, and said with a solemn expression: "Childe, Wenling ordered to secretly send someone to report that a group of soldiers and horses entered Wenling half an hour ago, and drove Wenling to guard the tomb with six hundred guards, intending to excavate the tomb of the first emperor." ”

Ji plane's color changed drastically.

Wenling is the mausoleum of his cheap father, Emperor Ling.
