56 Kanto to Kansai

[Ask for clicks, ask for collections, ask for recommendations!] xiexie! 】

Three days later, Lu Bu led 3,000 elite horsemen, left Jinyang, and went all the way south.

Along with him were Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Shangdang, and Han Hao, who was stationed in Gaodu. As for the others, they are different from each other, and each is busy in their own way.

Along the way, Lu Bu walked very leisurely, as of now, the military operation against Li Guo set off by the Kwantung heroes is still in the stage of combining vertical and horizontal, and there is still a period of time before the real military action.

From the envoys of the imperial court and the letters from Li Su, Lü Bu learned that the envoys sent by the imperial court, in addition to the state, also included Guo Tao in Hedong, Zhang Ji in Chang'an, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, Liu Yan in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

In addition, he also worshiped Liu Biao, the candidate of the Northern Army, as the pastor of Jingzhou, and ordered him to take Ruyang Ling Kuai Yue and Sima Huangzhong and others from other departments to make a detour through Wuguan to contain and attack Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.

Although the attitudes of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu are not very clear, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang are more likely to support Li Guo, while Zhang Ji of Chang'an and Guo Tao of Hedong do not need to guess at all, plus Lu Bu of Bingzhou himself, this battle has become a battle of east-west confrontation between Kansai and Kanto, but Lu Bu is not very clear whether Ma Teng and Han Sui will send people to Luoyang to help in the war.

As soon as Lu Bu thought of this battle, but it included almost all the heroes and heroes in the world, and these people would also become his fierce opponents in the years to come, his heart was full of fiery pride.

For a general, or a brave general, what can be more enjoyable than fighting on the battlefield and defeating a strong enemy.

The army passed through the Tianjing Pass, out of the Taihang Mountain, until it entered the county seat of Yewang, and the army of Lu Bu was not hindered in any way.

However, as soon as he arrived at Yewang, Lü Bu met Xue Hong, a messenger sent by Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang, who had been waiting in Yewang for several days on Zhang Yang's orders.

Xue Hong is the long history of Zhang Yang's Taishou Mansion, and he is even trusted by Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu is no stranger to him. Seeing that Zhang Yang sent him here, Lu Bu's unhappiness with Zhang Yang's participation in the Hedong Coalition Army also diluted a lot.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Xue Hong saw the salute, he did not say much, but respectfully presented a handwritten letter, and after Lu Bu read it carefully, Xue Hong gave up his hand and said: "The king led the army to the south, and the lord was deeply uneasy because he could not greet him in person. ”

Lu Bu nodded, casually put the silk in his hand on the lamp and candle to light it, and said indifferently: "Well, I'll just say, Uncle Zhi (PS: Uncle Zhang Yangzi) is in the same state as me, and I have always been close, how could I go to Yuan Benchu." When you go back and see Uncle Zhi, you will say that I know all these things, and thank you for his kindness. ”

Xue Hong stood up, respectfully obeyed the order, and had a good impression of Lu Bu's burning of Zhang Yang's handwritten letter, after all, Zhang Yang is now nominally one of the eighteen princes of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and this handwritten letter, if it falls into the hands of Yuan Shao or other Kwantung princes, it will be a big trouble for Zhang Yang.

Lu Buyang raised his hand, threw down the silk silk that was about to burn out, let it fall, raised his chin, and beckoned: "Sit, no need to be polite." Black Mountain thief Zhang Yanbu, what is the movement? ”

Although Lu Bu was unusually gentle, Xue Hong didn't dare to be so arrogant, and after saluting respectfully, he sat down and replied: "Make the king fight and break the Black Mountain Thief, and now the Black Mountain Thief has been cowering in the Lugu Mountain, and he does not dare to make a slight move." However, the news heard said that there were many quarrels among the various departments of the Black Mountain thieves, and it seemed that someone coveted Zhang Yan's position as the leader. ”

"Oh, Zhang Yan's life is so sad?"

Lu Bu smiled indifferently, sighed with emotion, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Zhang Yanbu is still of some use to me, if Uncle Zhi has spare time, you might as well give him some support, let him starve to death, as for the account, it will be recorded on my head." ”

Xue Hongyu agreed: "Yes, so that the king's orders, Hong Ding will report to the adults word for word." ”

"Good!"

Lu Bu nodded and stood up, and Xue Hong stood up with him and said goodbye with a witty voice. It's just that he had just retreated to the door of the big tent, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard Lu Bu laugh and said: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say, this big war together, let Uncle Zhi stay in Hanoi steadily, don't go to the battlefield to join in the excitement, especially the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

Lu Bu can be regarded as a friendly reminder, not only to remind Zhang Yang not to lead the army to the battlefield, but also to be the cannon fodder of Yuan Shao and others; It also reminded Zhang Yang that the most important thing at this time is not to charge into battle, but to preserve strength.

Moreover, once Zhang Yang led his troops to participate in the war, on the battlefield, the swords and guns were ruthless, even if Lu Bu had the intention to release the water, it would be useless.

In the past exchanges, Lu Bu knew very well that this Hanoi was too guarded, his temperament was too gentle, and there was no capable first-class general under his account, and he was able to keep a county, and he was already burning incense in front of the ancestral grave.

Xue Hong's bowed body shook slightly, and he hurriedly respectfully agreed, lifted the tent curtain, and walked out of the tent.

Lu Bu paced around in the big tent of the Chinese army alone, thinking about it.

He had long known in his memory that Zhang Yang was one of the eighteenth princes of the Kwantung Coalition Army, so when he really heard the news that Zhang Yang was attached to Yuan Shao, he was not too surprised, and with Zhang Yang's position, of course, the Kwantung Coalition Army did not allow Hanoi County to maintain a neutral status, let alone fall to Li Dao's party.

If Zhang Yang is not interested, then before Lü Bu leads his army south, the Kwantung Coalition Army will definitely send troops with lightning speed to expel Zhang Yang from Hanoi.

So standing in Zhang Yang's position, as soon as Yuan Shao's messenger arrived, he had no choice but to rely on a road.

Especially now, Zhang Yang has prepared a batch of grain and grass in Yewang, and he has sent Xue Hong to wait here for so many days, his attitude is quite good, even if Lu Bu was a little unhappy before, it has now disappeared.

What's more, Hanoi County, where Zhang Yang is entrenched, has always been regarded by Lu Bu as his territory, and once the Central Plains hegemony officially begins, this is the first springboard for him to go south to the Central Plains.

Therefore, he reminded Zhang Yang to retain his strength, in fact, he was also preparing for a rainy day in the future.

This small episode in Yewang City did not allow Lu Bu's army to stay here for even one more day, and after two days of rest, Lu Bu led his army to cross the river from Mengjin and rushed directly to Luoyang.

Garrisoned in Mengjin, is the new Yulin Zhonglang general Fan Chou, from him, Lu Bu probably learned about some of the imperial court troop deployment, Wang Fang led the army to guard more than 30 miles downstream Wushejin, the most important Tiger Pass, is still Huaxiong in charge, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding led the army to guard the Yique Pass, Duan Xuan led the army to guard the Dagu Pass, and the Xuanyuan Pass was guarded by Han Xian and Yang Feng under Guo Tai's account.

It can be seen that the strategy of Li Dao, Guo Tai and others is to defend the main defense, so that by virtue of the geographical advantage of Xiongguan and the advantage of fighting at home, the Kwantung coalition army will be dragged down.

Of course, there is no problem with this kind of strategic thinking, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is not lost, don't look at the current Kwantung Coalition Army's momentum, but if the time drags on for a long time, the princes of the Eighteenth Route will have their own thoughts and plans, and parting ways is inevitable.

And the battle of the Kwantung princes in Lu Bu's memory to conquer Dong Zhuo was indeed developed like this, if Dong Zhuo hadn't taken the initiative to give up Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, the coalition army would have been difficult to break through the Tiger Pass, let alone attack Luoyang.

Before leaving, he told Jia Xu whether the matter of land measurement and confirmation in Taiyuan could be ended within a year, that is, it was expected that the war would end within a year.

As soon as Mengjin passes, that is, Luoyang is located in Henan Yin boundary, the next day when the sun is slanting in the west, Lu Bu led three thousand fine horsemen to arrive at Luoyang City outside the Ten Mile Pavilion, the team that came to greet was unprecedentedly magnificent, the leader of several people, Lu Bu all recognized, it was the Yangwu general Li Dao, the Yang Yong general Guo Tai, the Yang Zhong general Li Su, the Yang Lie general Guo Yan, the four of them controlled the Han court's ministers, and they all came out to welcome, in front of them, it was the middle and standing attendants who held the holy decree in one hand.

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted from a distance, his armor was puzzled, he strode forward, knelt on the ground and listened to the order, and then greeted everyone one by one.

Li Dao was faintly the head of everyone, enthusiastically and heartily introduced Lu Bu, and Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Jingzhao Yin Zhang Ji, and Guo Tai's brother Hedong Taishou Guo Tao, was about to introduce the next person, but he didn't expect him to look at Lu Bu directly, and said with a grin: "You are Lu Fengxian?" I heard that you are very good at fighting! ”
