Chapter 184: The Coalition Army of Civil Strife
As early as the Qin period, the feudal system had been abolished, and they were the princes of the Eighteen Routes, but in fact, they were only the governors of the ruling side.
If it weren't for the suppression of the Yellow Turban uprising, a party leader like them would never have been able to control the military power.
In this way, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the palace rebellion, the local administrators turned into warlords on one side, but even so, they were still nominally loyal to the Han as courtiers, and no one dared to really regard themselves as a prince.
Although everyone knows each other, no one can really admit that they are warlords...... Since Yuan Shao came up with this kind of words to suppress people, Han Fu naturally had nothing to say, but he was so squeezed by Yuan Shao that he couldn't get off the stage at all...... Seeing Han Fu's dilemma, Yuan Shao simply gave a step and said, "After breaking through Luoyang and capturing Dong Zhuo, we will all be promoted for our meritorious service in saving King Qin, and then Han Taishou will naturally be able to be a supreme minister above the court, so why care about the changes in Jizhou's military system?
…… That's it, now let General Pan lead the army to fight, and after the rebellion of Dong Zhuo is pacified, let General Pan return to your command, what do you think?
Han Fu knew in his heart that Yuan Shao's words were purely farting...... Because Yuan Shao's reputation and power are not known to be much greater than Han Fu, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, although Pan Feng is only temporarily commanding his soldiers and horses, but once he joins Yuan Shao's command, I am afraid that he will never plan to come back in the future.
It's just that since Yuan Shao gave this step, Han Fu had no choice but to go down the slope, he said: "The alliance leader is serious, and we are also eager to break through Luoyang as soon as possible and eradicate Dong Zhuo, this matter is all up to the alliance leader's orders."
After this incident was over, Yuan Shao continued to order: "Come, take Guo Yan out and behead him, and hang his head outside the gate.
"Yuan Gong, Yuan Gong spare my life, I am willing to surrender to you, lead the army to fight for you, please let me live.
Guo Yan, who had been thrown out of the tent by the soldiers, wailed and prayed. Tian Feng, a strategist under Yuan Shao's account, stood up to intercede for Guo Yan, and said: "Lord, Guo Yan is the champion of the three armies, and he is also good at military strategy, he is one of the five major generals of the Xiliang Army, if he can be subdued, it will become a big help for us, why don't you spare his life and let him make meritorious contributions?"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "This person is Dong Zhuo's confidant, helping the traitor Dong Zhuo to commit many things that hurt reason, and the crime cannot be punished!"
Even if I am willing to spare his life, the people of the Han Dynasty will not spare him!" At the beginning, Dong Zhuo ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead five hundred sword and axe men to Yuan Kui's mansion to destroy him, although the culprit was Dong Zhuo, but Li Dao and Guo Yan were obviously also accomplices, and they were deeply hated by Yuan Shao.
At this moment, Guo Yan fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and it was naturally impossible for him to let Guo Yan go. Halfway through the banquet, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "By the way, Admiral Pan, I have heard the sergeants mention that the reason why you were able to break through the Tiger Prison Pass was because you dug a tunnel leading directly into the Tiger Prison Pass...... I'm curious how you managed to dig through the tunnels, and I wonder if you can bring the sergeants here so I can see them.
After the two troops met in the city, they exchanged and chatted with each other, which spread the news to Cao Jun's side, and after there were many rumors, it spread to Cao Cao's ears.
The secret of the electric Cayenne naturally cannot be exposed, so Xiao Qiuyu had already prepared the words, and he immediately said, "That is a strange unit under my command, good at digging the ground and turning over the soil, but the actual combat level is average; After digging the tunnel, they took the lead in attacking the city, only to be surrounded by dozens of times the enemy's army, and all of them died on the battlefield.
"Dead in battle? Isn't there a single survivor?" Cao Cao clearly didn't believe his excuses. Xiao Qiuyu continued: "Cao Gong, think about it, the moment the tunnel is dug through, the enemy will definitely do everything possible to block the tunnel, the terrain there is narrow, and only one person can pass side by side at a time.
If the enemy blocks the tunnel, no matter how many soldiers and horses I have, I will not be able to kill them...... So I gave them the order to rush into the city as soon as the tunnels were dug through, and to guard the entrances to the tunnels until the army continued to rush through the tunnels.
"This excavation team is only more than 100 people, facing nearly 10,000 enemy soldiers, they fought desperately to resist the enemy army that came like a tide, and won the great victory of this war with blood and life, they are real warriors!
In the handling of this matter, Xiao Qiuyu did not leak, even if Cao Cao still had some doubts, there was nothing more...... And he was just curious, for Pan Feng, now he is still mainly making friends, since he intends to cover it up, Cao Cao will not ask more.
A few hours after the end of the Battle of Tiger Pass, all the princes were reorganizing their armies...... Although they almost wiped out the invading Xiliang army before, their own casualties were also very heavy, and the troops also needed to be reorganized, and the captured enemy troops also needed to slowly reform them.
After that, Cao Cao asked for orders several times and hoped to continue to send troops to attack Luoyang, but he was refused. These princes gathered together in the name of righteousness, but they each had their own ghosts, and each of them wanted to preserve their strength, let others fight with Dong Zhuo, and then go to pick up the bargain themselves.
For example, Xiao Qiuyu served Han Fu, the Taishou of Jizhou, who obviously had more than 50,000 horses under his command, but this battle only brought 16,000 people, and he was unwilling to fully contribute.
In the script of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Tiger Prison Pass could not be captured for a long time, and the hearts of the coalition troops were scattered, until finally Dong Zhuo had burned down Luoyang, and Zhao Cen, the defender of the Tiger Prison Pass, saw that the general trend had gone, so he surrendered.
At this time, there was already mutual suspicion within the combined army, and Liu Dai, the Taishou of Yanzhou, borrowed grain from Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, but Qiao Mao found an excuse and refused to give it.
So Liu Dai simply waved his army directly to attack Qiao Jun and killed Qiao Mao directly, which caused the combined army to completely tear its face and finally disperse.
Under the circumstances at that time, only Sun Jian and Cao Cao sent troops alone to attack Luoyang, but unfortunately Cao Cao was ambushed and returned defeated; And Sun Jian found the heirloom jade seal in Luoyang, and immediately withdrew his troops and returned.
After that, Dong Zhuo successfully withdrew to Chang'an, and finally died under Wang Yun's divisive scheme. Xiao Qiuyu knew very well that in order to complete the task released by Liu Xie, he had to kill Dong Zhuo with his own hands, since this was the case, he couldn't be robbed of his head by Lu Bu!
Therefore, he must defeat them before Dong Zhuo moves the capital to Chang'an, otherwise once they go to Chang'an, it will be too late to succeed.
This time, because of Xiao Qiuyu's operation, the army took the lead in breaking through the Tiger Prison Pass, Xiao Qiuyu decided to urge Yuan Shao to send troops to Luoyang as soon as possible, and the longer it dragged on, the more unstable the alliance became.
