Sun Jian sent more than 30,000 troops, but only Huang Gai was brought by his generals, and the other two generals, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, remained in the county seat of Pingxian County, respectively responsible for guarding the city and continuing to use ships to mobilize troops. Due to the folding of Zu Mao some time ago, the number of generals in Sun Jian's hands is not too sufficient.

At this time, Sun Jian didn't know that Dong Zhuo was busy moving the capital, and the scouts he sent out only touched the vicinity of the county seat of Pingxian County, and reported that there were a large number of Dong Zhuo's troops stationed and active in the area of Luoyang Imperial City and Yanshi County! It's just that Dong Zhuo is mobilizing the people and going straight to Luoyang, I don't know why.

Therefore, Sun Jian led his troops out of Pingxian County this time, the main purpose was to explore Dong Zhuo's reality and reality, if Dong Zhuo was well defended in both directions of Luoyang and Yanshi, Sun Jian could only continue to wait for the arrival of follow-up troops before acting.

At the same time, Sun Jian was also thinking about whether to go to Heyin County to join Yang Rui, the deputy alliance leader, if he couldn't open the situation all the way, and then plot against Dong Zhuo. Sun Jian only has one concern, Yang Rui, as a "stranger", left a somewhat strong impression on Sun Jian, and he almost took the position of Yuan Shao's alliance leader at the beginning!

Not to mention that Sun Jian had some doubts about Yang Ruicun, but his tentative dispatch this time brought great panic to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's troops had originally discovered the activities of the anti-Dong Alliance camp in the Beibi Mountain area, and at this time they once again noticed that Sun Jian was leading his troops to arrive, Dong Zhuo immediately thought that Sun Jian was about to attack with a large army, and hurriedly left Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, Wang Fang and other generals to garrison the Luoyang Imperial City, and he himself quickly left Luoyang and fled to Hangu Pass.

The so-called grass and trees are probably like this, and the anti-Dong alliance camp that appeared in the Beibi Mountain area is actually Yang Rui's subordinates. was regarded by Dong Zhuo as Sun Jian's pioneer. In this way, the 10 advanced level drawings agreed upon by Yang Rui and Li Ru will naturally not be available for the time being.

For Dong Zhuo's reaction. Of course, Li Ru also raised doubts, and guessed that the troops that appeared in the Beibi Mountains were likely to be Yang Rui's troops, and Sun Jian's troops and horses all the way might not be able to capture the Luoyang Imperial City overnight, and even at the beginning, Li Ru also built Dong Zhuo and tried to counterattack the county seat of Pingxian County.

However, Dong Zhuo completely denied Li Ru this time, which shows the depth of his fear of Sun Jian! Dong Zhuo's scruples about Sun Jian have actually been around for a long time, as early as when they were crusading against the Xiliang rebels, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian had worked together. At that time, due to Dong Zhuo's arrogance and some disobedience to military orders, Sun Jian had several times to build Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was quite afraid of Sun Jian from this time on.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo is also quite familiar with Sun Jian's strong strength, and has always caused a lot of pressure on Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo's fear of Sun Jian can be said to be long-lasting, which led to Dong Zhuo's current reaction.

Dong Zhuo led Li Ru and other troops to evacuate the Luoyang Imperial City, and the generals Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, Wang Fang and other generals who stayed in Luoyang were also not high, and as soon as Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, Hu Zhen and other generals gathered almost all the troops near the Luoyang Imperial City into the city. Prepare to defend Luoyang and wait for the retreat of the troops in the northern Tiger Pass, Gongxian County, and Yanshi County. They also retreated to Hangu Pass together.

At present, there will be Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, etc., and there are also generals such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Li Meng, and Li Su stationed in Yanshi County and Gongxian County.

The task assigned by Dong Zhuo when he left did make Hu Zhen and others strictly defend the Luoyang Imperial City, and they could retreat to Hangu Pass after withdrawing with the other three defenders one by one, so Hu Zhen and the others' approach was not wrong. And after Hu Zhen reorganized the army, Dong Zhuo's troops in Luoyang City still exceeded 200,000 people, and it should not be too difficult to hold the Luoyang Imperial City for a few days.

However, the problem is in the mentality of these guards, Hu Zhen and others have been following Dong Zhuo for a long time, and their understanding of Sun Jian is not far from Dong Zhuo, and they are also full of fear of Sun Jian's toughness, and they are already a little timid before the real war!

However, after Sun Jian led the crowd to approach the vicinity of Luoyang, he found that the place he passed through was already uninhabited, not only did not have any Dong Zhuo's troops haunted, but even the NPC civilians were not seen, all the villages, towns and cities were empty, and all kinds of materials had disappeared out of thin air.

Thinking of the return of the scout soldiers before, this situation made Sun Jian immediately think of a possibility, so Sun Jian urged the men and horses to gallop towards the Luoyang Imperial City, after more than an hour of rapid marching, the Luoyang Imperial City has been far away into the eyes of Sun Jian and others, and this way galloping, Sun Jian and his subordinates did not encounter the slightest resistance, and even the passing places still did not see a trace of people!

This undoubtedly made Sun Jian more sure of his thoughts, so he immediately led the army to go straight to the north gate of the Luoyang Imperial City-Gumen. According to Sun Jian's judgment, it is likely that the same people in the Luoyang Imperial City have already gone to the empty building at this time!

However, when the subordinates rushed to the bottom of the valley gate, Sun Jian's subordinates' footsteps were stopped by a rain of arrows on the city wall, which immediately overturned Sun Jian's previous judgment. However, Sun Jian was not too surprised, and after frowning and thinking about it slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Next, Sun Jian seemed to be still very sure, and ordered people to set fire to smoke forty or fifty miles outside the valley gate, and then led his troops to the direction of the upper east gate and the east gate on the east side of Luoyang City, but these two city gates were still tightly guarded and heavily armed!

After discovering this situation, the expression on Sun Jian's face seemed to be more determined, and he ordered all the soldiers to still set fire to smoke within the view of the two city gates, so as to charm the guards in the city, while he himself still led most of the soldiers to detour towards the south gate of the Luoyang Imperial City.

Moreover, during the march, Sun Jian only sent two or three thousand men to approach the city of Luoyang, while the rest of the troops marched sixty or seventy miles away. Although the walls of the Luoyang Imperial City were extremely high, the distance that could be seen was only thirty or forty miles, so most of Sun Jian's troops could not be discovered by the guards in the city.

"Humph! Dong Zhuo dared to deceive me? How can I hide it from my grandson! ”

Sun Jian arrived near the Kaiyang Gate in the south of Luoyang City, and found that Dong Zhuo had also deployed a lot of troops at the city gate here, which was slightly beyond Sun Jian's expectations. But he only thought about it for a moment. and prepared to gather the people. Storm the open yang gate!

"General, let's observe one or two more times, and wait for the other party's reaction before it's too late." At this time, Huang Gai, who came with Sun Jian, said a word.

Huang Gai is a general who followed Sun Jian to the south and the north, and his relationship with Sun Jian is naturally different, which can be seen from the way he speaks. It was precisely for this reason that Sun Jian also gave enough respect to Huang Gai's advice, and immediately retreated two or three thousand troops around him for ten miles, waiting for the reaction in the city.

"Report! Kaiyangmen found Sun Jian's banner! ”

In the South Palace of Luoyang City, the messengers did not know how many times they rushed to report information. In the past two hours, the messengers have successively reported the situation in the three directions of Gumen, Shangdongmen, and Dongdongmen, all claiming to have discovered the banners of Sun Jian's majority of troops and Sun Jian himself!

"Which one is Sun Wentai playing?" Hu Zhen said as if talking to herself.

After learning of Sun Jian's previous actions, at this time, Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, and Wang Fang, the three generals of Dong Zhuo's camp guarding the city, had all gathered in the Nangong Imperial Study, ready to discuss a countermeasure, so as not to catch Sun Jian off guard.

"Sun Jian has only been in Henan Yin for two or three days, and he can't mobilize enough manpower, and now the North Gate, East Gate, and South Gate have appeared Sun Jian's general flag, which must be a suspicious tactic, and now why don't we take advantage of the other party's unstable foothold. How about going out of the city to fight for a few battles first, so as to consume Sun Jian's strength?

He, Sun Jian, also didn't have three heads and six arms. Now there is no shortage of troops in my city, and under the many soldiers, it is expected that Sun Jian will not be able to defeat him! Why hesitate? If you are worried about what is missing, the two of you will be stationed in the city, and I will lead my troops out of the city to kill for a while! ”

Wang Fang saw that Hu Zhen was undecided, and immediately spoke out to ask for war.

"Duan Xuan thinks that we are focused on defending the city, let him Sun Jian make trouble, if we are unmoved, how brave and resourceful Sun Jian is, wouldn't there be no place for bravery?

Therefore, if we don't stick to the city here, just wait for the arrival of a few soldiers and horses such as Tiger Prison, Gongxian, and Yanshi, and then retreat to the west of Hangu Pass. ”

Duan Xuan also spoke, but he did not agree with Wang Fang's strategy of going out of the city to fight, and thought that it was best to defend the city and wait for help.

"What General Wang and General Duan said is reasonable, and my judgment coincides with General Wang.

Although Sun Jian has many suspicious soldiers, he thinks that his troops are not all in place, so we might as well go out of the city to fight, consume the opponent's strength at the same time, and also kill Sun Jian's prestige. Otherwise, if we really wait until Sun Jian's troops arrive, there will be no chance for us to fight again.

Moreover, we can't wait for the soldiers of Tiger Prison, Gongxian, and Yanshi alone, it will take four or five days for the arrival of these soldiers and horses, and if the Kwantung heroes follow at that time, it is uncertain whether the soldiers and horses will have time to converge, so Hu Zhen secretly thinks that it is better for us to leave our own back roads."

Hu Zhen has already made her position clear in her words, and she also thinks that she can't sit still. Moreover, he thinks that several city gates are in a situation at the same time, and it is true that the soldiers and horses in the east and north of the city are true, and there have been soldiers and horses in the north of the mountain a day or two ago, and they should not all be withdrawn at this time.

Only in the south of the city should be a small number of suspicious soldiers set up by Sun Jian, although there is no movement outside the West Gate and Guangyang Gate, it is either a plan to open the net, or it is a heavy ambush! So Hu Zhen and Wang ordered to mobilize 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses to go out of Kaiyangmen to fight Sun Jian's troops.

After Hu Zhen and Wang Fang left the city, Sun Jian's troops, who were ten miles away, retreated again and again, seemingly preparing to avoid the battle, and their reaction really responded to the previous two people's thoughts, so the two waved their troops to follow closely behind, preparing to kill a big fight.

However, after only chasing thirty or forty miles, he heard a sudden rush of drums in front of him, and Sun Jian's more than 20,000 troops who were bypassing suddenly flashed out and met Hu Zhen and Wang Fang's troops. Hu Zhen and Wang Fang knew that there was an ambush, but when they saw that the terrain ahead was flat and the other party only had 20,000 or 30,000 people, they did not retreat, but prepared to take advantage of the momentum to fight Sun Jian's troops head-on.

As soon as the battle was engaged, Hu Zhen and Wang Fang already regretted it, Sun Jian's side seemed to have few people, but all of them were high-level special troops, and after the soldiers on their side met the other side, they were stunned that four or five people could not help one person, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly became unfavorable to Hu Zhen's side.

From this, Hu Zhen and Wang Fang also guessed that there was likely to be a general in the opponent's army array, who blessed his subordinates with auxiliary skills, otherwise even if Sun Jian's troops were all high-level special troops, and their own soldiers were assisted by the skills of two generals, there would not be such a big gap with the strength of the opponent's soldiers.

"Kill! Who dares to fight me?! ”

At this time, Sun Jian's subordinates had already rushed out of the future, and Hu Zhen and Wang Fang recognized each other, it was Sun Jian's general - Huang Gai! Although Hu Zhen and Wang Fang are timid, if they retreat at this time, they will ruin their morale, and they will definitely lose in the melee!

So after Hu Zhen and Wang Fang glanced at each other, they pounced on Huang Gai together, and they barely took Huang Gai's attack, but they couldn't take any advantage.

"Will there be less to bully my Sun Jian? Let's fight alone! ”

At this time, Sun Jian's tiger roar generally rushed out of the middle of the people, and Hu Zhen and Wang Fang were so frightened that their faces changed sharply

However, it was said that Yang Rui first saw the smoke outside several city gates in Luoyang in Juling Villa, and he didn't know what was going on, so he quickly followed Sun Jian's troops with the Daofeng Flying Carpet, and had been following behind him to investigate the situation.
