Chapter Seventy-Seven: Blood in the Palace
Dong Zhuo's departure from Beijing is by no means good news for the Kwantung princes, just a Lu Bu, the wolf of the coalition army killed is unbearable, and he retreats in the barracks and closes the camp gate, not daring to fight, and now there is another Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's bravery is naturally not as good as Lu Bu, but when it comes to influence, it has a greater impact on the princes, with Dong Zhuo personally leading an army of 300,000 troops, coupled with Lu Bu's courage to crown the world, how can this tiger prison be broken, how can it be broken?
When he learned that Dong Zhuo was going to personally raise troops to sit in the Tiger Prison Pass, the frightened princes who had been killed by Lu Bu were even more panicked, and even a few princes built a few ways to temporarily withdraw their troops, re-accumulate troops and horses, and make a comeback in the future.
As the initiator of this alliance, Cao Cao naturally did not want to see the powerful alliance of princes disappear like this, and in that way, these princes would become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
What made Cao Cao even more puzzled was Yuan Shao's reaction, originally if the princes retreated, the biggest loss should be Yuan Shao, not only the blow of the forces, but also the blow of prestige, but Yuan Shao's reaction was a little intriguing, and there was not too much anxiety, but he was calm and relaxed, and he did not say that he would fight or retreat, but just ordered the princes to guard the camp and hang up their own free battle cards, and within three days, they would see the difference.
Will you see it in three days?
To be a prince, naturally it is impossible to be a fool, looking at Yuan Shao's calm and confident look, who doesn't know that the alliance leader must have an unknown hole card in his hand, although he is a little curious, but no one asks much, just as Yuan Shao said, see you after three days, three days, they can afford to wait, and they will return to the camp at the moment, and they will not go out of the door.
"In Luoyang. Something big is going to happen, and I'm going to Luoyang. In Li Xuan's barracks, he waved off the guards, leaving a group of henchmen and generals and the two daughters of Huang Rong and Zhao Min to express their decision.
"My lord, no!" Xu Huang frowned and said, "Luoyang now." It is the land of tigers and wolves, why bother to take risks in person, if there is a send, Huang is willing to go to Luoyang on behalf of the lord! ”
"The cloud can also go on behalf of the lord." Zhao Yun hugged his fists.
"Don't get excited." Li Xuan waved his hand and frowned: "What will happen in Luoyang, I can't know for the time being, but I have a premonition that something big will happen in Luoyang, and there is something in Luoyang that I must pick up in person." No one can do it for you, as for Zilong and Gongming, after I leave, the army still needs the two of you to be in charge, and during my absence, if there is a major matter, you two can discuss and solve it, if there is something that cannot be solved. You can ask Sister Rong and Min'er. ”
"Then the Lord is ......in danger," Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.
"It is enough to have Junming and Xiongxin go with me, Luoyang is not a tiger's den in Longtan. There are only three of us, unless Dong Zhuo personally leads an army of 300,000 to encircle and suppress us, it will not be able to trap us. Li Xuan smiled and patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said.
"The two generals can rest assured, Dian Wei will have a breath of air, and no one will want to hurt half a hair of the lord." Dian Wei suddenly got up and said loudly.
Dian Wei's bravery. Everyone still understands that unless Lu Bu is there in person, there are really not many people in the world who can kill people in front of Dian Wei. What's more, Li Xuan is not powerless, and Shan Xiongxin's words are enough to fight Lu Bu.
is still worried about Li Xuan's safety, but since Li Xuan has made up his mind, it is not easy to persuade him again, so he bowed down to receive the order at the moment, but Zhao Yun sent the black slave and the black snake to Li Xuan's side, although the two are not the fierce generals of the world, but they have their own strengths, and at the critical moment, they may be able to come in handy.
The moon bends and shines on Jiuzhou, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.
When the princes' coalition army was in panic, and the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass were excited because of the news of Dong Zhuo's imminent arrival, there was an undercurrent in Luoyang.
Since the princes gathered in sour dates, Luoyang City has implemented a curfew, but this curfew is not complete, as for the reason...... In any era, there will be a privileged class, which seems to have become an eternal iron law, even if Dong Zhuo suppresses it by force now, but within the tolerable range, there are still some privileged classes in Luoyang City, who are not bound by these laws.
In Yuan Kui's house, a group of people had gathered at this moment, all with solemn faces.
Yuan Kui, with Yuan Zhong's support, slowly walked out of the back hall, looked at the wave of people in the hall, and nodded slightly.
"Duke Yuan, now that Dong thief has left Beijing, Luoyang's troops are empty, I have been waiting for months, and finally waited for this God-given opportunity, the princes of Kwantung are still fighting bloodily, we should also take action!" In the crowd, a young scribe stepped forward, bowed his hand respectfully to Yuan Kui, and said in a deep voice.
"Although Dong Thief has left Beijing, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang that are controlled by Dong Thief's cronies. Jun Rong never thought that once we waited for an incident, the first thing we would have to face was the counterattack of these tens of thousands of Xiliang elites, even if we met His Majesty, how could we compete with the tiger and wolf army under Dong Zhuo? In the end, it will end up with no bones left. The one who spoke was the current Jinwu Hu Wuban, looked at the young scribe and said: "Although we are all Luoyang clans, and there are some private soldiers in the family, but even if we add up, I am afraid that they are not invincible to the thieves, and self-protection is still insufficient. ”
The private soldiers of the major families in Luoyang combined, in terms of number alone, are not under the current Luoyang defenders, but what kind of troops are the Luoyang defenders? Whether it is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry or the former Xiyuan New Army, they are the elite of the world, especially a group of soldiers who gathered in a hurry?
"Don't worry, the old man will introduce one person for the princes, or you can relieve the worries in your hearts!" Yuan Kui coughed lightly and interrupted everyone's conversation, as the head of the Three Princes, he had experienced that the Three Emperors had always stood in the court, and faintly, he was already the head of the scholars, and now as soon as he spoke, the others immediately closed their mouths and looked at the Three Dynasties and Three Princes respectfully.
"Gongwei, come in." Yuan Kui said softly towards the door.
As Yuan Kui's words fell, I saw a military general walking in outside the door, eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and a broad face.
"General Gongwei!" In the crowd, many people soon recognized the identity of the person who came, Hu Wuban looked at the general in disbelief, and said in surprise: "You are not ......"
As one of the three famous generals of the late Han Dynasty alongside Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun is different from the other two who are as famous as himself, and he can have today's achievements, all by virtue of his own knife and shot on the battlefield.
No one expected that Yuan Kui would be able to invite this person.
Don't look at Zhu Jun is only one person now, but the eighth school of Xiyuan, almost all of them are from his command, when he swept away the rebels, like Lu Zhi, he was scrupled by the emperor, recalled to Luoyang, and was idle at home, and then Luoyang was in turmoil, Zhu Jun wanted to come forward to prevent Dong Zhuo's family from dominating the situation, but was secretly stopped by Yuan Kui, even if Dong Zhuo wanted to conquer Zhu Jun, with the help of Yuan Kui, secretly made the illusion of leaving Luoyang.
Zhu Jun arched his hand towards everyone and said, "Don't worry, all of them are under our control." ”
Yuan Kui sneered: "Dong Thief thinks that if the new army is incorporated into the Xiliang Army, he can completely annex the new army, but he did not know that the emperor secretly left a hand when he established the Xiyuan New Army, and Gongwei also left a tiger talisman in his hand, which can also mobilize the Xiyuan New Army, and now half of the Luoyang defenders have secretly surrendered to us, and only wait for an order, they can gather soldiers and horses, go straight to the palace gate, and occupy the palace!" ”
Da Honglu Han Rong stroked his palms and smiled: "Yes, as long as His Majesty is in the hands of us, the morale of the thief army is bound to plummet, Dong Thief is trapped in the tiger prison, the head and tail are difficult to take care of, and the day of destruction is not far away. ”
At that moment, Zhu Jun immediately summoned the new army of Xiyuan, which was secretly in contact, and the new army of Xiyuan, which was pinned on by Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty in the past, finally became a sharp weapon for the family to seize political chips.
The new army of Xiyuan, together with the people gathered by the major families, had 30,000 horses and horses slaughtering towards the palace with great vigour.
Zhu Jun straddled a jade Linglong, took the lead, and rushed into the imperial city, but in the imperial city, there was silence, and there was no half of the guards.
"Everyone, be careful, I am afraid of fraud!" Zhu Jun looked at the empty imperial city vigilantly, not only did he not guard, but even the palace eunuchs who were supposed to be on duty in the palaces were not, and in the silent imperial city, there was a strange aura that made Zhu Jun uneasy.
"General Gongwei is too careful, the area here is vast and the vision is clear, even if there is an ambush for Dong Thief, it is impossible to be here!" Shi Sun Rui said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be suspicious, it is only right to go to meet the emperor as soon as possible!" ”
Zhu Jun glanced at Shi Sun Rui and frowned, even if Dong Zhuo took it lightly, this is the palace, how can there be no defense at all? He can be sure that there must be a murderous motive hidden in this palace, but at this moment he is ready to send arrows, so he commands the troops and horses to move forward at the moment.
As if confirming Zhu Jun's thoughts, the idea had just risen, and a piercing sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded in the flat ground, and many people were a little unable to react, but Zhu Jun's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "It's a city-breaking crossbow, lie down!" ”
She has experienced countless battles in her life, and she is very clear about this voice, but these things, shouldn't they be on the city wall? Why is it here!?
Without waiting for Zhu Jun's mind to turn, a row of dense and thick crossbow arrows had already swept side by side from the army, not everyone had Zhu Jun's alertness, let alone Zhu Jun's experience, although they got Zhu Jun's warning, most of them were still in a state of confusion.
A row of crossbow arrows, in the case of a group of scholars caught off guard, like an invisible plough from the army gathered by the clan, and even a few unlucky warriors did not have time to react, they were pierced through the body by the giant arrow, the stump was broken, and fell to the ground, and the imperial city, which was silent a moment ago, turned into a Shura hell in an instant.
