Chapter 349: Cao Cao enters Luoyang at night

Cao Cao's general commanded the 100,000 former army of the forbidden march day and night, after two days and one night of forced march, finally arrived at a place fifty miles away from Luoyang, the army stopped, the soldiers were already very tired, rest for a night, recover their strength, and go to the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

"Wen Ze, Zhong Kang, I finally looked forward to you, please come in." Cao Hong and Xu Huang finally looked forward to the reinforcements, looked behind Yu Ban and Xu Chu, and hurriedly gave a military salute: "Lord, you are here too." ”

Yes, with Dong Zhao's strategy, Cao Cao and Dong Zhao rushed to Luoyang with Yu Ban's army, Xu Chu naturally followed Cao Cao as Cao Cao's personal guard, and there was almost no rest along the way except for meal time, and he was really tired, after setting up the camp, Cao Cao and Yu Ban and Xu Chu rushed more than 20 ways to Cao Hong and Xu Huang's camp.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, go get some hot food, Wen Ze and Zhong Kang and I haven't eaten yet." ”

Xu Huang hurriedly said, "Oh oh, come on, go and prepare a banquet." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, wine, meat, just prepare some hot food, and tell me about the form of Luoyang in a while." While speaking, everyone entered the big tent of the Chinese army.

It didn't take long for the wine and meat to be served, Cao Cao Sanren hadn't eaten a good meal in the past few days, and the aroma of wine and meat instantly aroused the roundworms in the stomachs of the three of them, all three of them were military generals, and they were really hungry, and they immediately feasted when they saw the wine and meat.

After two or three large pieces of meat and a few glasses of wine, he felt a lot more comfortable, and Cao Cao asked, "Tell me, how is it at the moment." ”

Cao Hong said: "Big brother, we fought with Lu Bu twice. They all returned in defeat, and they heard the rumors. LΓΌ Bu's army increased to 200,000, but the morale of the army was not high. I heard that it seems to be caused by a lack of food, and today I attacked Luoyang for a day without falling. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Who will lead the army to defend Luoyang?" ”

"Lord Dong Cheng, the Grand Sima of the Imperial Court."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "This time, Wen Ze brought 100,000 front troops, and the army is also on the way to come, tomorrow the three of you will lead the army to fight and fight with Lu Bu, if you can't win, you must also delay as much time as possible until the rear army arrives." ”

Cao Cao said again: "Zhongkang." Tonight, you escort me into Luoyang. ”

"Your lord, it's dangerous." Cao Hong and the three said at the same time.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "I must do the trip to Luoyang, this is related to the future plan, rest assured, with Zhongkang protecting me, what else can I do." Remember, be sure to delay until the rear army arrives. ”

After eating, Cao Cao and the three returned, and then Cao Cao took Dong Zhao with him. Under the escort of Xu Chu and dozens of guards, he went to Luoyang, but he didn't dare to go from the south gate, and deliberately went around to the west gate, where Dong Zhao was there. Entering Luoyang is not a problem, but this matter has to be carried out quietly, and they still have a lot of things to do when they enter Luoyang.

Enter the city of Luoyang. Everyone came to Dong Zhao's house and rested for a while. Under Dong Zhao's guidance, the dozens of guards he brought left the Dong Mansion. They scattered and went to the homes of officers of the rank of lieutenant and above in the city, and enclosed a letter.

Cao Cao intended to pull these officers, but he couldn't be too blatant, it might arouse the suspicion of Dong Cheng and the emperor, once that happened, each of these officers was sent a large sum of gold and silver jewelry, the military generals lacked political wisdom, so much gold and silver jewelry would definitely move them, plus a sincere letter, most of these people would be on his side.

After dawn, Cao Cao came to Dong Cheng's mansion with a lot of money under the recommendation of Dong Zhao, Dong Cheng had never seen Cao Cao as a cow auxiliary in the past, Dong Zhao recommended: "Lord Dong, the lower official is back, General Cao Mengde also returned with the lower official this time, this is General Cao Mengde; General Cao, this is the Great Sima Dong Chengdong. ”

Cao Cao immediately saluted and said, "Xiaguan Cao Cao pays a visit to Lord Dong." ”

"General Meng De, this official has been looking forward to you for several days, please take a seat."

After sitting down, Dong Cheng asked anxiously: "Meng De, how many soldiers will you bring this time?" ”

"There are 100,000 elite soldiers in Yanzhou."

Dong Cheng "sighed" in his heart, there are only 100,000 people, and Lu Bu is known as the world's number one fierce general, I am afraid it is difficult to be an opponent.

Seeing this, Cao Cao said: "Lord Dong, rest assured, these 100,000 people are the elite soldiers I carefully selected from Yanzhou, and they will definitely be able to defeat Na Lu Fengxian and protect the safety of the Beijing Division." ”

"Okay, well, everything depends on Mengde."

After chatting, everyone came to the city wall, waiting for Lu Bu's army to attack, now there is Xu Chu, even if Lu Bu personally participates in the siege, it is enough to fight for a while, and Lu Bu may not have the strength to attack the city, and there are 120,000 soldiers and horses outside the city.

Lu Bu's subordinates Cao Xing fled back in a circle, so that Lu Bu's army increased to more than 230,000, and the generals have returned, and finally someone is available, and he now looks down on the vanguard of Cao Xing, thinking that Cao Hong and Xu Huang are also incompetent, and they don't need to go out in person, Cao Xing and they can be defeated with 20,000 or 30,000 wolf horses, and he personally commands the army to attack Luoyang.

Yesterday has been a day, today there is no need to fight to surrender, the emperor Liu Xie in Dong Cheng, Cao Cao and others also came to the city wall once, for a time the crowd was excited, three shouts long live, the siege officially began.

After fighting for less than an hour, Lu Bu listened to the report, the vanguard of the Cao army had increased its troops, and there were more than 100,000 people, and Cao Xing and several people had been defeated and retreated.

"Cao Jun has increased his troops? It's still hundreds of thousands, when did it come, why is there no news at all. "More than 100,000 enemy troops, Lu Bu thought to himself: It seems that he has to personally lead his troops to meet the battle.

"Wolf Rider Assemble."

Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry to meet the battle, and saw that Lu Bu led tens of thousands of wolf horses to come, Cao Hong and several people knew that they should be defeated, but they could not be defeated so quickly, the defeat was obvious, Yu Ban was famous for his good governance of the army, and the actual commander of this battle was him Yu Ban, assisted by Cao Hong and Xu Huang.

It was not that they were defeated and retreated as soon as they came up, but that they first met the wolf rider, and then they were defeated and retreated according to the matter, unhurriedly, and slowly retreated, and the three of them were divided into three sides, organizing and commanding, so that the wolf rider could not attack in.

Although he is not his opponent, but the wolf rider cannot effectively kill and injure the enemy, he himself also attacked the enemy for two days, but whenever he opened the gap and killed it, there were countless enemy troops who came to besiege him, and the gap was quickly re-arranged, and the wolf rider who rushed in with him was quickly besieged and died.

Lu Bu thought that today would end without a problem, according to Chen Gong, he couldn't take Luoyang today, and he would have to retreat west to Hangu Chang'an tomorrow, but there was still a place left, and it was still a prince.

But who knew that at noon, the Cao army suddenly showed chaos, and Lu Bu instantly became energetic, and hurriedly led the army to strengthen the attack, and personally went into battle to enter the Cao army's formation again.

With the fierce attack of the wolf horse, Cao's army naturally retreated faster, and in less than half an hour, Cao Hong's panicked leader retreated and withdrew to the camp in the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

Lu Buzhi came back proudly, very happy, he finally defeated the Cao army, or severely damaged the Cao army, killed twenty or thirty thousand people, and finally could concentrate on attacking the city, Lu Bu and Cao Xing went into battle in person.

When Dong Cheng saw Lu Bu personally killing, he instantly panicked, was at a loss, and complained to Cao Cao: "Mengde, don't you say that your soldiers and horses can protect the Jingshi?" How did Lu Bu kill him, do you want to talk about what to do, what to do? ”

Cao Cao's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said: "Zhongkang, you go up, command the defenders to kill Lu Bu back, and you must not let Lu Bu attack you." ”

"The last general commands." ……
