Chapter 185: Wooing Liu Guanzhang
"A group of rat-eyed guys" Yuan Shao looked at the many generals under his tent with disdain, and thought: "You fight slowly, it's best not to send troops, so as not to snatch the jade seal of the country with me." "There was a big defeat at Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo lost his troops and his strength was greatly reduced, even if he didn't need the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, Yuan Shao still had the confidence to break through Luoyang and defeat Dong Zhuo.
After some quarrels among the princes, they finally agreed that only Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian were willing to send troops to fight, which was unparalleled in history...... In fact, there are still some differences, originally only Cao Cao and Sun Jian were willing to send troops, but Xiao Qiuyu used the jade seal of the country as a bait to guide Yuan Shao to take the bait.
Yuan Shao commanded a large number of soldiers and horses, and the momentum was huge: Cao Cao had more than 30 generals, including eight unparalleled generals; And Sun Jian's troops are particularly strong in combat.
The three of them work together, and it is not difficult to break through Luoyang. The development of this world is different from the original, although Lu Bu was defeated in the original book, the soldiers and horses still guarded the Tiger Pass, blocking wave after wave of attacks of the combined army, until Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Zhao Cen, the general of the Western Liang Army, surrendered the city.
And in this world, in the battle of Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuo is almost exhausted; As a result, Xiao Qiuyu and Cao Cao took the lead in occupying the Tiger Prison Pass, cutting off the retreat of the Xiliang army, forming a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs, and almost all the 300,000 enemy troops of the princes' coalition army were annihilated.
After that, the troops brought by Dong Zhuo to Luoyang were almost exhausted, and their strength had been greatly drained...... Dong Zhuo, who still retained his strength in the original book, repelled Cao Cao, who pursued him, but this time, in the face of the elite soldiers and strong generals of the princes of the Three Roads, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to resist.
Xiao Qiuyu came to the side of Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gong of Beiping, and said, "Since Your Excellency is unwilling to send troops, can you borrow one of the generals in your army to use it?"
"This...... I'm afraid it's not proper, my soldiers and horses have been with me for a long time, and they are all arrogant by nature, and they are only willing to obey my orders.
Gongsun Zhan's meaning is nothing more than that if you want to command my generals, you don't have that qualification yet! Xiao Qiuyu said bluntly: "I want to borrow Liu Xuande from the Yellow Turban Army, I don't know if it's possible?
At this time, Liu Bei had no reputation at all, and he didn't have much strength himself, but his two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were two super fierce generals, and the two could even defeat Lu Bu together.
In this "True. In the world of Warriors of the Three Kingdoms, a super fierce general like Guan Zhang is not a difficult task, and with their help, it will be much easier to defeat Dong Zhuo next!
Gongsun Chan muttered, "Xuande is my old friend, and if it is not my subordinate, it is difficult for me to make the decision, but if he himself is willing, I will naturally not stop him.
Liu Bei, who was behind Gongsun Zhan, said, "I am willing to attack Luoyang with General Pan Feng, eradicate the traitor Dong Zhuo, and purge the court!"
Liu Bei was born noble but had a low status, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he chose to devote himself to the battle against the Yellow Turban Army, but at that time, the government was dark, and Liu Bei made a great contribution to eliminating Zhang Jiao, but he was only promoted to a county order.
Even so, Liu Bei did not stop, after Dong Zhuo wreaked havoc with the imperial court, he learned that his former friend Gongsun Zan ordered troops and horses to conquer Dong Zhuo, and immediately responded to the call to join him and die on the battlefield.
Now that Xiao Qiuyu plans to send troops to Luoyang with Yuan Shao to eliminate Dong Zhuo, he hopes that he will help him.
Liu Bei is naturally willing to continue to fight, gallop on the battlefield, and make contributions. Seeing that Liu Bei was willing to participate in the war, Xiao Qiuyu was very happy, and he praised: "I have heard for a long time that Liu Xuande broke the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army, and when I saw it today, Xuande Gong is really a powerful and heroic man.
Eh, aren't these beautiful hair public relations feathers? Sure enough, he is extraordinary, and he will definitely be able to worship the marquis one day......" Xiao Qiuyu slapped Liu Guan and Zhang Yitong wildly, which moved the three of them deeply...... Liu Bei used to be just an insignificant county magistrate, and he had to resign because he offended the post governor, and the three brothers are still insignificant ordinary people.
Now that the prestige of the Yulin Zhonglang is like the sun, Pan Feng is so important and respectful of them, so that these three people quickly burst into tears!
Since ancient times, there is a cloud: women are those who please themselves, and those who are confidants die. Although Xiao Qiuyu's respect did not make the three of them willing to repay each other with death, it also made them decide that they must do their best to assist this General Pan in the future!
…… The Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo is one of the best elite troops in the world today, but unfortunately it was almost completely wiped out in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and Dong Zhuo only fled back to Luoyang with thousands of iron horsemen.
The local soldiers and horses in Luoyang were originally under the command of the emperor's uncle, the general He Jin, and after He Jin was killed by the eunuch conspiracy, his subordinates fought bloody battles in the palace in order to avenge him...... Later, Dong Zhuo commanded the Xiliang army to enter Luoyang City and control the political situation in Luoyang...... Because the supreme commander He Jin was killed, the second commander Yuan Shao was expelled from Luoyang by Dong Zhuo.
The leaderless Luoyang Legion was afraid of the forces in Dong Zhuo's hands, and most of them chose to take refuge in Dong Zhuo. And a small number of officers who refused to attach themselves to Dong Zhuo were either dismissed or beheaded.
During Dong Zhuo's heyday, although these generals hated him very much, they were afraid of his might, and none of them dared to have two hearts, and even during the battle of Tiger Pass, Dong Zhuo sent most of the Luoyang soldiers and horses in addition to the army under his command.
Now these troops have almost been completely annihilated, which has led to a huge change in the balance of strength within Luoyang...... In the current Luoyang City, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 people left in Dong Zhuo's descendant Xiliang Army, and there are still more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang.
The only ones who are still loyal to Dong Zhuo are those generals who were born in the Xiliang Army, and many of the big officers of the Luoyang Army have begun to move...... Although they are still obedient to Dong Zhuo and the puppet emperor on the surface, and no one dares to openly jump out against Dong Zhuo, they have begun to meet with each other in private to discuss many conspiracies.
As for the soldiers at the bottom, they will only blindly obey the command of the leader, and they will do what the officers tell them to do, and do not expect a group of people who have joined the army to fill their stomachs with high self-consciousness and judgment.
Now that Dong Zhuo is already a little difficult to ride a tiger, the reason why he is in a hurry to move the capital to Chang'an is to a large extent to regather the troops left behind in Xiliang to his side, so as to ensure that his power is not affected.
Otherwise, if he continues to stay in Luoyang, even if the combined army does not fight, he may collapse due to mutiny.
…… At the same time, a court meeting was held again in Luoyang City. Although Dong Zhuo has taken power, he is still only the prime minister in name, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty still participates in politics, and Dong Zhuo himself controls the political situation next to him.
