Chapter 380: Guandu (12)
These words carried a strong sense of threat.
The few people who wanted to leave hurriedly stopped, turned their heads to look over, but saw that Liu Chuang had already sat down on the main seat, and the Juque Sword was put aside, looking relaxed. Sima Fang and Lu Yu sat on both sides of Liu Chuang. And the man in military uniform stood behind Liu Chuang with a sword.
Liu Chuang also smiled when he saw those people stop.
"Maybe you think I'm just bluffing.
However, what I want to tell you is that I am determined to win Luoyang. Now our army has invaded Guanzhong, and there is more Hongnong Yang as the internal response, presumably now they have already started an incident, and it will not be long before the army will come to Hangu Pass. Since the Yellow Turban, we have experienced many hardships, and it is really not appropriate to continue to be turbulent. I am in the edict of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the unsubordinate, but to follow the sky, the trend of the times.
Tonight, if you stay, all of them are my loyal ministers of the Han family and friends of Liu Chuang.
But if you walk out of this hall, you will be my enemy, and you will be the thief of the Great Han...... Whether you call me cruel or cruel, I don't care. What I have done is still 40 million people, and it is the safety of the 400-year-old foundation of the Han family. In short, after tonight, if you want to leave, I will not stop you. But now, please be patient and accompany me to get drunk. ”
After speaking, Liu Chuang picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
On the side, Sima Fang didn't say a word, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it dry.
Meng Guang was very clever, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the wine and drink it...... When everyone at the banquet saw this, they all looked at each other.
Liu Chuang occupies the righteousness of the people, and the person who did it is the Han family.
If you stay, you are a loyal minister, and if you go out, you are a thief. It's a very simple multiple-choice question, but for everyone, it's hesitant. The two men looked at each other, gritted their teeth, turned and walked out of the hall. Outside the hall, it was deserted.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in their hearts: It was really a bluff.
It was only when the two of them walked down the steps that they heard two bowstrings.
Two sharp arrows came from the shadows and killed the two men on the spot. The screams came into the hall, and those who originally wanted to leave couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly sat down again.
Liu Chuang drank casually and talked to Sima Fang.
In the center of the hall, Mao Jia's body lay quietly on the ground, blood flowing from under him, flowing down the cracks in the ground, staining the doorstep red in the blink of an eye. In the air, there was a faint smell of blood, which also made the other people's hearts tremble.
Sitting in front of them was not a helpless man, but a butcher who killed without blinking.
Liu Chuang's killing in Liaodong is well known. Everyone present was also inexplicably frightened, so they could only sit there honestly.
Bang Bang Bang!
The time has come.
In Luoyang City, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly shook the sky, and the flames were everywhere.
Liu Chuang secretly infiltrated Luoyang this time, not only Lu Yu alone.
In fact, for today's feast, Liu Chuang has been preparing for it...... After a few days, Liu Chuangtong guò Sima Fang's cover transferred three thousand flying bear guards from outside the city. Moreover, these three thousand flying bear guards were led by Tai Shixiang, and Chang Sheng also came together......
Chang Sheng, is a native of Luoyang.
Although he has been away from home for many years, his connections are still there.
After Liu broke into Luoyang, his movements never stopped...... Even if he stayed in Sima Fang's mansion for a few days, the movements of Luoyang Huangge continued one after another. The foundation of the Yellow Pavilion in Luoyang is far better than that of other places. With such a big banner as Sima Clan, Sima Yi has formed a huge force without knowing it. Now, this power is about to be shown, and for this night, Liu Chuang can be described as painstaking. Even if Sima Fang disagreed, he would not have any difficulty plunging Luoyang into chaos.
Shouting and killing, constantly.
Sitting in the hall, you can faintly hear it.
Everyone in the hall turned pale, and they secretly complained in their hearts.
In this, there are no real power figures in Luoyang...... But they understand that after tonight, Luoyang will have a makeover.
Do you bow to Liu Chuang, or choose neutrality?
In fact, they stayed here tonight, and even if they were able to get out tomorrow, people outside would think that they had surrendered to Liu Chuang.
There are smart people, so they learned from Meng Guang to get up and stepped forward to toast Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang did not refuse to come, drinking heavily while talking cordially with everyone, but the apprehension in these people's hearts gradually faded.
The shouting of killing gradually stopped.
Liu Chuang estimated the time, and it should have been almost ugly at this time.
The two-hour banquet also made Liu Chuangxun a little drunk...... He stood up and said loudly, "Princess, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go out for a walk with me...... Hehe, after tonight, Luoyang will besiege the center of the world, and it needs the help of all the princes.
In September of the ninth year of Jian'an, Sima Shi started an incident in Luoyang.
Liu Chuang went to Luoyang to appease him, which also made the local heroes in Luoyang quickly stabilize and accept Liu Chuang's arrival.
On the second day after Liu Chuang took Luoyang, Zhao Yun led his troops to conquer Huangchi. The Cao army of Hangu Pass suddenly fell into a situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs. Zhang Qing, the general of Hangu Guard, apologized for the word, and was originally Yuan Shao's general. Later, although Lu Kuang surrendered to Cao Cao, because of the merit of pacifying Zhang Sheng's rebellion, he worshiped the rebellious lieutenant and stationed in Hangu. Originally, when Zhao Yun's troops arrived at Huangchi, Zhang Qing also planned to lead his troops to attack against Zhao Yun.
Unexpectedly, Sima Fang made an incident in Luoyang, which made Zhang Qing panic.
On the second day of the occupation of Luoyang, Liu Chuang personally led the army to Hangu Pass. At the same time, Zhao Yun waved his troops eastward, which also made Zhang Qing even more panicked. Sending troops from Luoyang to Hangu was only a day and night. However, after Zhang Qing received the news that Liu Chuang's troops had passed Gucheng, he quickly made up his mind and sent people to the Han army camp to ask Liu Chuang for surrender. was able to occupy Hangu Pass without blood, and Liu Chuang was naturally willing. After kindly appeasing Zhang Qing, Liu Chuang entered Hangu and joined Zhao Yun on the fourth day.
The loss of Hangu also indicates that Guanzhong is completely isolated.
After Xu Shu broke through Huaili, he did not immediately attack Chang'an, but attacked Maoling with Wei Yan and defeated Cao's army......
At this point, there is only one lonely city in Chang'an left in Guanzhong, although Cao Ren is both civil and military, but in the face of such a situation, he is also extremely desperate.
He sent someone to deliver a letter to Xu Du, and at the same time ordered to strengthen the defense of Chang'an.
Cao Ren also knew that the decisive battle between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao was about to begin, and Guanzhong would no longer be the focus. If Cao Cao can win the battle of Cao Liu, the danger in Guanzhong will naturally be alleviated; But if Cao Cao is defeated...... In Cao Ren's heart, he has already made a loyal choice.
The changes in Luoyang not only affected Guanzhong, but also caused Heluo to fall into panic.
The accident in Luoyang, which is the hinterland of Heluo, can be said to have caused the entire Yuzhou to fall into panic.
As the gateway to Heluo, Tiger Prison Pass was originally set up to defend Heluo. But now, Luoyang has fallen into the hands of the Han army, and the tiger prison has become critical.
Xiahou immediately summoned Cao Peng with a solemn expression.
"Youxue, Chuang'er seized Luoyang, and continued to hold on to the tiger prison, it no longer makes much sense.
I want you to immediately lead your troops to evacuate, garrison Jingxian, and block the thief army. I will continue to stay in the Tiger Prison and fight for your chance......"
"Uncle ......"
Cao Peng was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to refuse.
Who knows, Xiahou waved his hand, looked at Cao Peng and said: "You are in Jingxian, if you can stick to it for a day, the lord will have a little more arrangement and control." At this time, you and my uncle and nephew don't need to continue to shirk. I lost Hanoi, and I am already an unforgivable sin. Today, he will defend the tiger prison in order to win the opportunity for the lord. You are brave and resourceful, a hundred times better than me, and you should share the worries of the Lord and make contributions. ”
Cao Peng's mouth opened, and he wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he was really speechless.
He could see that Xiahou had made up his mind.
Don't look at Xiahou's usual obedience to him, but at a critical time, except for Cao Cao, I am afraid that no one can make him change his mind.
Jingxian is also the last barrier of Guandu.
Cao Peng took a deep breath, no longer shirked, and bowed down and said, "Since my uncle has made up his mind, Peng will no longer persuade him."
It's just that I also ask my uncle to keep in mind that the dead Xiahou has nothing to do to make up for the great cause of the lord, and only Xiahou Yuanrang can help the lord achieve great things. ”
When Xia Hou heard this, he laughed.
"Since ancient times, there has only been survival, and who wants to die?
Don't worry, I have my own opinions. If I can't do anything, I'll quit...... Now Liu Chuang is not in the Tiger Prison, and it is not an easy task for Gao Shun to win against me alone. I will try my best to delay for you here, and I hope you will prepare as soon as possible in Jingxian. ”
Cao Peng heard this and bowed down to receive the order.
That night, he took Guo Yi and left the Tiger Prison and went straight to Jingxian.
Xiahou continued to sit in the Tiger Prison Pass, resisting the onslaught of the Han army while keeping an eye on the situation in Luoyang.
On the eighth day of the fall of Luoyang, Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun joined forces and raised 10,000 troops from Luoyang. Although the defenders of Gongxian tried their best to resist, under the fierce offensive of the Han army, it is estimated that they could not hold out for too long.
At the same time, Cao Peng had already made arrangements in Jingxian County and sent someone to invite Xiahou to go.
Once the Han army captured Gongxian, it could reach the revolving gate pass. At that time, the Tiger Prison was about to suffer from the enemy, but it was not what Xiahou wanted. After much thought, Xiahou decided to evacuate the Tiger Prison the next day and go to Jingxian to join Cao Peng. It's just that Xiahou didn't expect that after he made up his mind to retreat, the Han army's offensive outside the Tiger Prison Pass suddenly became fierce.
From noon, the Han army carried out a ** attack on the Tiger Pass.
Xiahou tried his best to resist and held out until after dark, when the Han army stopped the offensive.
If it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will not take more than three days, and there is no need for Liu Chuang to lead his troops to capture the revolving gate pass, and the tiger prison pass will be breached...... Xiahou decided to evacuate the tiger prison as much as possible.
When he returned to the tent of the Chinese army, he immediately began to arrange for the evacuation.
There are still 8,000 male soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass, and they are all strong soldiers who have experienced the baptism of the Battle of the Tiger Prison, so Xiahou will naturally not be willing to give it up lightly.
It's just that it is not a simple matter to take away all these 8,000 male soldiers.
He dispatched his troops and ordered his troops and horses to withdraw at night.
But at this time, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering loud noise from outside the big tent.
The sound was like the sky falling apart, and Xia Hou could still feel the trembling of the ground as he sat in the big tent...... His face changed drastically, and he hurriedly rushed out of the big tent.
But when he saw the direction of the tiger prison closing the city gate, thick smoke was billowing and the flames were soaring into the sky.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?"
"General Qiyu, it's not a good thing...... The thief army, the thief army has blown down the city wall and is attacking! ”
