Chapter 115: Sudden arrival in Luoyang
"Dong Zhuo must retreat, and this is the time when the army has captured the tiger prison."
Dong Zhuo naturally didn't know that when he left the Tiger Prison Pass, Wei Tao was speaking to the princes of Zhulu.
"Now that Lu Bu has been defeated, Dong Zhuo's army takes Lu Bu as the god of war, and once Lu Bu is defeated, his military spirit will be lost, and he will not dare to fight again. That Dong Zhuo's old thief is the most treacherous, how can he stay in a dangerous place, he must return to Luoyang. If we march at this time, we will be able to break through the tiger prison and capture Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, and please don't hesitate with the alliance leader and you! ”
Apart from Wei Tao, who dared to be so sure that Dong Zhuo would retreat? Although Wei Tao's words were conclusive, few people agreed in the end.
Obviously, in a short period of time, the Kwantung Coalition Army was already satisfied with the immediate results, especially Yuan Shao, and his refusal was even worse, which made people suspect that he did not want to enter Luoyang at all.
In fact, Wei Tao understands that there is news coming these days, and Yuan Shao has to send a few people to Youzhou every day.
Although I don't know what those people went to Youzhou to say, Wei Tao understands that he understands that he is afraid that Yuan Shao still supports Liu Yu as the emperor.
The great merit is the merit of support, and if Liu Yu wants to become the emperor, then he must have the support of the military power.
There are not many generals under Liu Yu's command, so naturally he can only rely on Yuan Shao.
It's a pity that obviously Yuan Shao's idea is not so easy to achieve, at least according to Wei Tao's knowledge, Liu Yu himself is not a person with too many ambitions, and he is very loyal to the Han, and he will not agree to Yuan Shao's idea at all.
"Your Excellency's words are not unreasonable, but your Excellency should know what the people who have come here are thinking."
It wasn't until he returned to his tent that Zhou Yu asked.
"Everything is based on stability. If Dong Zhuo really returned to Luoyang on his own. Then this tiger prison will be self-defeating. As long as the siege lasts for a few days, you can drive straight into Luoyang, why waste your troops? As for Dong Zhuo's scourge of Luoyang and the government...... Hehe...... I'm afraid that Cao Mengde is a little unimpressed! ”
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Wei Tao could only smile bitterly, although the words were not good, but they were the truth.
If Cao Cao was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who followed the rules, he might still be worried, but Wei Tao knew that Cao Cao might be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. But it is definitely not following the rules, and it can even be said that if he thinks that it is better for the Han to rule after the chaos, then he may be the first to rule the world in chaos and then to rule the world.
The capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times, is it ordinary?
"I want to enter Luoyang."
After being slightly silent for a while, Wei Tao just said.
"Although Luoyang has a strong city, it is not enough to respond to the Kwantung coalition army, not to mention that there are rumors in Luoyang that there is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. The deer walked into Chang'an. There is no difficulty. I'm afraid that's what I'm prepared for. ”
"Brother means that Dong Zhuo will abandon Luoyang and move to Chang'an?"
Zhou Yu also knew what he was aware of, and after a little thought, he couldn't help but praise.
"It seems that Dong Zhuo's subordinates are also capable people. In this way, the method of advancing is retreating. Now that the coalition forces are in good shape, once they enter Luoyang, I am afraid that they will ...... When the time comes, it will be divided and attacked, and this Dong Zhuo may not have the opportunity to become a big thing again. However, now that the tiger prison is closed, it is extremely difficult to want to be like Luoyang, and why does my brother want to go to Luoyang? ”
Zhou Yu's meaning is also clear, even if Dong Zhuo moves the capital to Chang'an, it will not have much impact on Wei Tao.
And now that Dong Zhuo has been defeated, his strength has not been damaged at all, and now he is going to Luoyang, and he has a feeling of throwing himself into the net.
Wei Tao smiled slightly, naturally it was impossible to say that Dong Zhuo would burn and loot in Luoyang.
Although with Dong Zhuo's temperament, once he decides to move the capital to Chang'an, it will inevitably be like this.
In fact, this time Wei Tao really didn't have any good intentions.
"If Dong Zhuo abandons Luoyang, the defenders of Hugao Pass will definitely surrender. That Dong Zhuo's army walked very fast, but it was not fast to be burdened with grain and grass, if it could be ambushed, wouldn't it be possible to get a large amount of grain and grass? Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to say much about the abundance of grain and grass. ”
Wei Tao smiled slightly, but said.
"If you enter Luoyang and the coalition forces fall apart, the supply of grain and grass is a matter of importance. The brothers of the Yuan family are righteous and lead the grain and grass, once they fall apart, aren't they controlled by others? At this time, there is no hurry to transport grain, and it is necessary to take away the grain and grass of Dong Jun. ”
Zhou Yu is indeed not the kind of person who is stupid and loyal and stubborn, and he did not react too much to Wei Tao's clear statement, but silently agreed with Wei Tao's statement.
"The tiger prison is in front of it, blocking the way, but although the checkpoint is high, is there no path in the mountains? If the elder brother visits the Orion, it should be passable. Hundreds of elite men are naturally not enough to take all the baggage, but it is enough to capture our army. ”
Zhou Yu is really a resourceful person, and he only gave Wei Tao an answer in a moment.
"Brother fruit is my arm."
With Zhou Yu's plan, Wei Tao also felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately smiled and nodded.
The Tiger Prison Pass is sparsely populated, not to mention that it is a big war at this time, but under careful inspection, one or two Orions can still be found.
After detailed inquiry, there is indeed a trail to pass through this tiger prison pass, but the trail is narrow and difficult to pass.
But Wei Tao had already prepared for this, and immediately ordered Orion to lead the way and cross the line.
Needless to say, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and dozens of elite soldiers of Wei Tao were lost, and it took two days to pass through it.
This is still because the garrison of the Tiger Prison Pass has been lax, otherwise as long as a team of soldiers and horses is dispatched, Wei Tao and his party of hundreds of people will all become turtles in the urn.
At the same time, I have to say that this Tiger Prison Xiongguan is a dangerous place, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's heart of ease, unwilling to risk sending Lu Bu, just this Xiongguan is here, without a year and a half of attack, it is indeed difficult.
"Be careful to hide your tracks and go straight to Luoyang."
Wei Tao had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately ordered more than 300 soldiers who arrived with him to rush to Luoyang with him.
Traveling day and night all the way, not to mention, but along the way, Wei Tao has seen that from time to time there are soldiers who plunder the people's things, and if they are a little neglectful, they will draw their swords against each other.
Seeing this, Wei Tao even understood that he was afraid that Dong Zhuo had decided to move the capital to Chang'an and rob the wealthy households in Luoyang, even the people around Luoyang would not be spared.
Although such an act can be rich for a while, the people of Luoyang will hate it to the bone, how can they return in the future? And with this move, it may be even more difficult to dominate the world in the future, this Dong Zhuo was really carried away by the momentary success, and he was so short-sighted. ”
Seeing the scene all the way, and the closer he got to Luoyang, the more it was like this, Wei Tao couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that Dong Zhuo was unwise.
"General, there!"
At this moment, one of the guards hurriedly shouted.
At this time, it was only a few miles away from Luoyang City, and it was also faintly visible where Luoyang City was located, Wei Tao looked up and was stunned.
I saw that Luoyang City was surrounded by a burst of fire, even if it was several miles away, it was visible.
"Sure enough......"
Wei Tao said silently for a while, this Great Han Emperor will inevitably suffer this after all.
However, Wei Tao was originally prepared in his heart, and this trip was not to avoid Luoyang being burned or anything like that, but to seek the wealth that Dong Zhuo seized from Luoyang.
It is naturally impossible to take all of them, but it should not be difficult to intercept only a part.
"Come with me!"
Wei Tao gave an order, led hundreds of soldiers to no longer hide their tracks, and went straight to Luoyang.
When I arrived in Luoyang, I saw countless large and small convoys, which were desperately driving in the direction of Chang'an, and the soldiers of Xiliang around them were each supervising.
"How dare Dong Zhuo do this? Chen Liuweitao is here, and the coalition forces have arrived. If you don't surrender quickly, when will you wait? ”
Wei Tao shouted, and immediately led people to kill.
"The Tiger Prison has been broken? Was it the surrender of the coalition forces? ”
The last to preside over was Hu Zhen, a general under Dong Zhuo, who was urging the superintendent to transport grain and grass and the gold and silver he had seized, but when he suddenly saw Wei Tao coming, he was shocked and couldn't react for a while.
But where does Wei Tao care so much, if the other party sees through his suspicious plan, then his plan to rob Dong Zhuo of the property seized by him will not be successful, so when he saw Hu Zhen, he immediately rushed over.
"Die!"
Hu Zhen's martial arts were originally between the second and third rates, and he was even more unbearable under the shock, but Wei Tao found that the halberd method used by Lu Bu was faintly similar to himself, and he understood more.
Caught off guard, this Hu Zhen was even more unbearable, Wei Tao went down with a halberd, Hu Zhen was stunned and didn't know how to hide, he was beheaded by Wei Tao with a halberd, and his life was immediately lost.
"Dong Zhuo has been defeated, the coalition is coming, when will you wait if you surrender quickly?"
After Wei Tao stabbed Hu Zhen to death with a halberd, he didn't hesitate much, and shouted loudly with a halberd.
"If there is one who does not surrender, it will be killed!"
"No!"
The more than 300 soldiers are all the elite of the elite, and when they respond, there is a faint image of thousands of troops and horses, which makes people daunted.
The truly elite Xiliang soldiers were naturally guarding Dong Zhuo's side, and these Xiliang soldiers who fell to the end were a group that was not taken seriously, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
"If you don't descend again, kill!"
Wei Tao didn't bother to pay attention to so much, as soon as the words fell, a halberd swept out, and immediately settled one person, seeing Wei Tao move, his subordinates naturally began to kill Xiliang soldiers.
"Surrender! I give up! ”
As soon as the Xiliang soldiers surrendered, others also surrendered one after another, and a large number of materials fell into the hands of Wei Tao, including a large amount of grain and grass, as well as a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Ziyu, good! Good! You really lived up to my expectations and came to the rescue, but other reinforcements from all walks of life came? Fast! Fast! Come with me to the rescue of Your Majesty! ”
At this time, a familiar voice sounded, and Wei Tao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It turned out to be Wang Yun. (To be continued......)
