Wei Tong hurriedly replied: "Second brother, that's the case, Senior Brother Tonghe was ordered to come to help in the war, and then Ziqiu knew about it and came together, when passing by Zhao Guo, he met a group of horse thieves, they wanted to rob the three of us, second brother, you know, although Ziqiu's kung fu is a little worse, but more than a dozen people can't get close, and Senior Brother Tonghe killed all sides, and directly beat more than 200 horse thieves to the point that they all knelt on the ground and became prisoners, I don't hear that we came south to find the second brother, and they also want to follow, So we selected some young ones, and the senior brother said that the young people had done few bad things and could still be saved. ”

Wei Xuan saw his brother's expression and knew that through these two years, he had successfully changed from a rice fan to a cloud fan.

However, he happened to lack cavalry, so he naturally grouped them together with the newly obtained war horses, and then selected cavalry from the whole army and handed them over to Zhao Yun to command.

Next, naturally, the whole army had a dinner to welcome Zhao Yun's arrival.

The next three days were the days of the general competition of the whole army, Zhao Yun lived up to expectations, the horse combat power was superior to Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Huang Zhong, and the foot battle was slightly inferior to Dian Wei, plus he had followed Wei Xuan to discuss before???????????????? After passing the White Wave Army and killing the hero Wang Yue in front of the battle, no one has an opinion on being a captain of the Guardian Army. Pity Weitong, first challenged Dian Wei without knowing the truth, and naturally lost very badly, and then went to challenge Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, naturally he still lost, seeing that the tun chief couldn't be a man, Weitong's eyes were red, and in the end it may be Guan Hai and Zhou Cang who released the water, and reluctantly fought with Guan Hai for 30 rounds, and fought with Zhou Cang for 50 rounds. Confident, Weitong finally realized that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, and there are so many martial arts in the second brother's military camp alone that surpass him, so the Kwantung Eighteenth Route Coalition Army, as well as Dong Zhuo's imperial army, so it is normal for Wei Xuan to let him be the tun chief and military marquis. In the end, Weitong also accepted Wei Xuan's request, passed the art of war assessment, and became a military marquis under Zhao Yun.

With the arrival of Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, plus the collection of Kong Ling's deserters and the newly recruited soldiers in Yingchuan during this time, in addition to the county soldiers and the Tuntian soldiers in the hands of Deng Dang, there are 20,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, nearly half of which are recruits, and the training task is naturally very heavy.

Wei Xuan reorganized the entire army, including 5,000 men in the front and left and right battalions, 5,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry in the middle army, and 4,000 of the 8,000 men in the rest of the rear army were auxiliaries, 500 engineers and 500 medical soldiers. Huang Zhong joined the front battalion, Tai Shici joined the left battalion as a military commander, and Guan Hai as a military marquis.

The first to go to Yangcheng were the two thousand auxiliaries of Zhang Liaobu and Wei Yun of the rear army.

Just when Wei Xuan was in full swing to prepare for the war, a major event also happened in Sour Zao, almost at the same time that Dong Zhuo returned to Huaxiong with his war horse, Dong Zhuo's generals Xu Rong and Lu Bu led 20,000 cavalry to challenge and threaten to avenge Huaxiong. Han Fu's Hebei star Pan Feng was killed by Xu Rong in five rounds, and then Gongsun Zhan, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Sun Jian and others fought in a wheel battle with Lu Bu, no one was able to go to 20 rounds under Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan and Xiahou Yuan were also injured, but fortunately, the people next to him stopped Lu Bu in time to not be beheaded.

Subsequently, the coalition army hung up the exemption card, and Xu Rong led the troops to attack Tao Qian and Liu Dai's camp at night, and the coalition army suffered heavy losses, and Lu Bu and Xu Rong* returned to the army in triumph. The coalition sour jujube battlefield has been closed since then.

Just when the news of Xu Rong and Lu Bu's victory in front of them reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital to Chang'an despite the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty's public invitation!

On February 17, the Eastern Han Dynasty moved to Chang'an, and on March 5, Liu Xie entered the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. Dong Zhuo stayed in Bigui Yuan, Luoyang, to fight against the Kwantung coalition army. Due to the forced relocation of the capital, Dong Zhuo used the army to drive out the residents of Luoyang, resulting in the death of a large number of people, and the collection of books in Lantai (the library of the Eastern Han Dynasty government) was also lost on the way. He set fire to palaces, government offices, and private houses in Luoyang, took the opportunity to loot property, and instructed Lu Bu to dig up the tombs of emperors and ministers to obtain treasures.

The whole Luoyang area can be described as crying and shaking the sky, of course, there are also lucky, that is, those who have cooperated with the Changlong Trading Bank and believed in Wei Xuan's intelligence at the end of last year successively transferred part of their property to Hedong and even Yingchuan and Nanyang to avoid huge losses.

When the news of Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital reached Yangzhai, Wei Xuan was not shocked, after all, Dong Zhuo was a human being, not a god, and he collected 40,000 people from Huangfu Song and Gai Xun, and there were only 100,000 people under his command, and half of them were foot soldiers. It is necessary to face more than 200,000 coalition troops in the four aspects of Mengjin, Suozao, Yangzhai and Luyang. It is also necessary to leave manpower to guard the Guanzhong to defend against the Qiang people. Although Dong Zhuo's subordinates have an advantage in terms of combat effectiveness, it is still the same ???????????????? The rebellious coalition forces controlled most of the soldiers and horses and economy of Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou, and the supply of grain and grass and the replenishment of soldiers and horses were continuous.

Dong Zhuo only controlled half of Sili and Liangzhou, and although Hedong stated that he would not participate in the war, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, who could cross the Yellow River and go south at any time to cut off the connection between Luoyang and the audience. The Yizhou Mu to the south also did not openly support Dong Zhuo's court. In order to be safe and leave a way back for himself, Dong Zhuo decided to stay in Luoyang to defend against the coalition forces, and first moved the imperial court to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the Kwantung coalition army was dumbfounded again, and the slogan shouted by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others was to reach Luoyang to restore the throne. As a result, Dong Zhuo first murdered Liu Wei, which made the Kwantung coalition army break off a thought, and now move the imperial court to Chang'an, and the Kwantung coalition army wants to see the emperor and fight to Chang'an, and there are many more passes along the way. The supply line alone stretched for more than a thousand miles.

Dong Zhuo's move caught the coalition forces off guard, and no one dared to move the previously agreed idea to advance. Only Cao Cao in the middle couldn't wait, he felt that Dong Zhuo wanted to run, and he had to seize the opportunity to leave Dong Zhuo behind, otherwise when Dong Zhuo fled back to Chang'an, there would be no way for the coalition army to fight a protracted war with such a long supply line. Under the leadership of Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others, the sour jujube coalition army went out of the sour jujube through Xingyang and tried to occupy Chenggao County, in fact, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and Zhang Miao brothers marched into the army, and others such as Tao Qian and Liu Dai were still watching the excitement.

There are actually more than 30,000 people in the four roads, but they are facing the elite of Xiliang. Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong to lead the army to meet the battle, Xu Rong could let Cao Cao and others move casually on the unexpected plain of Xingyang, but they must not let out the Tiger Prison Pass, once they arrived in Chenggao, the Tiger Prison Pass was broken, and the coalition army could drive straight into Luoyang.

So Xu Rong went out again and defeated the sour jujube coalition army next to the Bianshui in Xingyang. Bao Xin's younger brother and Zhang Miao's subordinate Wei Zi and others were killed in battle, Cao Cao himself was in a desperate situation, almost killed in battle, and when Cao Hong gave way to the horse, he fled to Bianshui and found a small boat, and the two were able to escape. Cao Cao's own subordinates were almost completely lost.

For this reason, he also left a good story of Cao Hong, that is, the world can be without Hong, but not without a king. Really illustrates the crisis in the form of that time.

And when Cao Cao returned to the sour jujube in embarrassment, he found that other people such as Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Tao Qian, and Yuan Yi were invited to banquets and exchanges day and day, singing and dancing night and night, and they didn't take the crusade against Dong Zhuo to heart at all, so angry that Cao Cao scolded the erector for not enough and conspiracy.

For this reason, Cao Cao wrote a letter to Wei Xuan, explaining in detail the situation of his battle with Xu Rong, and at the end said that the sour jujube princes were unreliable and could not be counted on to defeat Dong Zhuo. informed him that he decided to go back to his hometown and Yangzhou and other places for the time being to continue recruiting troops, and asked Wei Xuan to insist on waiting until he returned. Cao Cao said this, which means that he gave up the command of the Sour Zao Middle Route Army, but in fact, he couldn't command it originally.

Receiving the news of Cao Cao's defeat, the generals under Wei Xuan's command, who were originally about to move, also hesitated, and Kong Ling seemed to be fighting chicken blood and wished that Wei Xuan would enter the army as soon as possible. What he thought was that Wei Xuan was annihilated by Dong Zhuoda's entire army, and then he came to clean up the Yingchuan mess.

Of course, Wei Xuan would march into the army, not only that, but he also sent scouts to inform Sun Jian as soon as possible, there were two roads in the north, Yuan Shao did not move, Cao Cao's army was defeated, and the south naturally could not move. It was only by the time his envoy found Sun Jian that Sun Jian had already set out from Luyang and arrived at Dong Zhuojun, the commander of Liang County, to start fighting. It's too late to retreat.

Sun Jian was also shocked to learn the news of Cao Cao's defeat, and then heard that the sour jujube coalition army could not shrink, and Hebei had not moved, and now Wei Xuan sent a messenger to explain that Wei Xuan did not plan to attack. He could only send an envoy to Yuan Shu for help.

As a result, Yuan Shu not only did not send additional reinforcements, but also stopped the supply of grain and grass on the grounds that he was afraid that Dong Zhuojun would cut off the grain route. Sun Jian was defeated by the combined forces of Hu Zhen and Niu Fu by the Rushui River, and suffered heavy losses.

He told Wei Xuan that Sun Jian had broken out of the encirclement, gathered his troops and horses and was ready to come to Yingchuan to join Wei Xuan, and hoped that Wei Xuan would allow him to lead his troops to garrison Jiaxian, and he would send people back to Jingzhou to bring out all the people who stayed in Xiangyang.

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly, these eighteen companies were either as immobile as turtles one by one, or Cao Cao and Sun Jian were eager to march, causing the originally agreed four-way march to become an attempt all the way.

What Wei Xuan couldn't understand the most was that Yuan Shu actually watched Sun Jian defeat for his own interests, so that an obstacle to his future control of Jingzhou was eliminated.

The original agreement of marching troops at the same time on the four roads was completely disrupted because of Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, and now Yuan Shao in Hebei has not moved, and Wei Xuan naturally does not dare to send troops all the way. However, he needed to leave someone to watch Dong Zhuo in Yangcheng, and the training of recruits would take time, so he planned to at least wait until Sun Jian's follow-up men arrived in Yingchuan before launching an attack on Dong Zhuo.

Soon, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses left in Jingzhou finally got rid of Yuan Shu and entered Yingchuan.

When Sun Jian arrived in Yangzhai, Wei Xuan allocated 50,000 stone of grain and grass to him according to the promise he made in the first letter to Sun Jian, and agreed to give him 50,000 yuan after the end of Xia Shou, and once again launched an attack on Dong Zhuo in two ways.

Sun Jian has no objection to this, there are many recruits in his team, and it will take a while to master the team.

Of course, what really calmed down Sun Jian was not only the previous fiasco, but also Wei Xuan's statement about Dong Zhuojun's morale, that is, although Dong Zhuo used looted spicy money and beauties to boost morale, this situation will not last with the migration of the imperial court, the Xiliang soldiers are far away from their hometowns, and now the imperial court is moving westward, dragging it down will definitely cause Dong Zhuojun's soldiers to return!
