Chapter 450: Xiangguo, Please Xiema

Of course, that's the case, but it's not so easy to carry out a thousand-mile attack.

First of all, it is necessary to have generals who are better than those in the border counties, and the other is to select soldiers who have a certain foundation and can be qualified for this task.

And then these soldiers will be screened out, and those with night blindness will also be screened out.

Due to the lack of food in the ancients, the body lacked more nutrients, so many people had all kinds of problems all over their bodies.

Night blindness is one of the most important ones.

Therefore, if you want to implement the tactics of rushing, if you don't have enough troops, the right general will not be able to achieve it at all.

Of course, Liu Jian's current conditions are very consistent and can be implemented.

Now Liu Jian's soldiers are many generals, as well as iron tools and horses, and his soldiers include Youzhou people and Wuhuan people who have just been annexed, and there will even be Xianbei people who will submit to the Han Dynasty in the future.

It can be regarded as everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

Time is not waiting, Liu Jian ordered at that time to let Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, two fierce generals who have been fighting with the Wuhuan people and foreign countries for a long time, be screened among the armies!

Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong also knew that time was pressing, and with their understanding of the soldiers of the three armies, they quickly selected a group of sharp soldiers from among them!

These sharp soldiers are the most elite and strong soldiers in the Youzhou army.

At the same time, Liu Jian also equipped these soldiers with the most majestic war horses in the north, the most sophisticated weapons, and the strongest armor!

Of course, these war horses are also equipped with high-bridge saddles and horseshoes made by the Hebei Manufacturing Bureau.

Subsequently, under the support of a group of soldiers, Liu Jian personally commanded this army, and led the four fierce generals Zhang, Huang, Yan, and Wen to attack day and night, and went straight to Luoyang City.

He wants to break the exclusive myth of Dong Zhuo's monopoly of "three hundred miles of day and night".

……

……

In winter, snow has begun to fall on this side of Luoyang, and the lively street market on weekdays has become deserted at the moment.

Most people no longer go out in this cold winter, and those who have accumulated enough food in the autumn season will nest at home to keep warm in winter, but those who unfortunately do not have enough food will face the harshest time of the year.

If they are lucky, they may survive this winter, otherwise they will have to sacrifice their entire lives to the snowy winter.

Lu Zhi stood in the east of Luoyang City, looking at the white horizon in the distance.

On the horizon, which was covered with frost and snow into a snow-white sky, a row of black dots had appeared at this moment, and it was dense enough to see it really.

The wind is bleak, and the earth is reckless.

A snowflake fell from the sky and landed on Lu Zhi's face, turning into a piece of coldness.

Lu Zhi tightened the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and the cold texture came from his fingertips, making him clear.

At the end of the wilderness, the black lines were squirming bigger and bigger, and the outlines of the other party were gradually becoming clearer.

Is it finally coming?

Lu Zhi's face was calm, he looked up at the sky, looked at the snow, and silently muttered in his mouth: "Under the whole world, you can march thousands of miles, and there is only ......one person who arrives at this distance."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi instructed the person next to him: "Open the city gate and put down the drawbridge." ”

Beside Lu Zhi, there was a young man standing, and he was extremely surprised when he heard Lu Zhi's words.

"Fujun, although he came by surprise, although there are few soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, the city is strong and the grain is sufficient, so it is not impossible to defend it."

The young man who spoke was Zhang Ji, a native of Feng Yi Gaoling.

Zhang was born in the Han family, his family was wealthy, and he was a good person, and in the past few years, he served as a subordinate official in Feng Yi County, and later was repeatedly promoted and was promoted by the county as filial piety.

However, in the year when Zhang Ji was promoted to filial piety, it was just in time for Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an, so he did not join the Lang Office, but just lived at home.

After Lu Zhi served as the Taishou of Luoyang, he conquered Zhang Ji.

Zhang is a noble person, if others recruit him, he may not arrive, but in the face of the conquest of Lu Zhi, a famous Confucian in China, Zhang Ji did not refuse.

He is a smart man, he knows that in this troubled world, if he wants to be a person, he also needs to increase his prestige and reputation, although Lu Zhi is not the person who can make him stand out, but with Lu Zhi's prestige, if he can do a few things under his feather, he will definitely be able to increase his prestige.

When you have an excellent reputation, you don't have to worry about not having a good future.

In this era, it was a common thing for younger scholars to be sold at a high price.

Listening to Zhang Ji's words, Lu Zhi sighed lightly and said, "He? Who is he? ”

Zhang Ji pointed to the Xiliang soldiers who were stepping on the snow in the distance with a little doubt, and said in a deep voice: "He is Dong Zhuo, a widow from Liangzhou, and he ......."

"Although he is from Liangzhou, he is also the minister of the dynasty, holding the edict of the Son of Heaven, and now he is coming from the capital, if I close the door and block it...... Why? ”

Zhang Ji sighed lightly, he knew that what Lu Zhi said was right.

For a person like Lu Zhi who is loyal to the royal family of the Han Dynasty and does not want to be a warlord on one side, he really can't close his door.

After all, Dong Zhuo represents the imperial court.

The people of the imperial court came to Luoyang, and if Lu Zhi did not receive it, he would become a rebel against the Han family of the imperial court.

From Lu Zhi's point of view, he must not do this.

From Zhang Ji's point of view, he didn't want Lu Zhi to do that either.

After all, this young man came to Lu Zhi to brush up his prestige.

"The king, even if it is so, but he is just erecting the flag of the country, without prior notice, and now his soldiers and horses have suddenly arrived, after all, he is against the constitution of the court, and the prince of the palace is too guarded, and it is also his duty to communicate with him before greeting, and he is willing to be a messenger and go to meet the country on behalf of the king."

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and pondered Zhang Ji's words, and the secret way made sense.

After all, Lu is the head of this Luoyang, and he is here to guard on the order of the Son of Heaven, and your court doesn't even say hello in advance, and sends troops when he says to send troops...... How do I know if you are a soldier of the court or a rebel? It makes sense to send someone to ask for clarification.

Although Lu Zhi is a loyal minister, he is not a fool.

On the premise of not violating the great loyalty and righteousness, there are some things that Lu Zhi is not afraid of offending people!

"In that case, then there is Lau Derong to go quickly!"

"Whoa!"

……

……

Zhang Ji received Lu Zhi's order, and immediately took two attendants, and Pegasus came out of Luoyang City.

The Xiliang army saw that three fast horsemen with envoy flags were coming from the opposite side, and the front army immediately stopped.

When the front army rests on its horse, the rear army can immediately follow the frequency of the front army and stand still.

"Who's coming?"

The soldiers in the front of the Xiliang Army shouted at Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji and the other three rested their horses about ten arrows away from the Xiliang cavalry.

The guards beside Zhang Ji shouted: "Long history of Luoyang, take the order of Lu Fujun, and pay homage to Xiangguo!" ”

The news quickly reached Fan Chou, who came to the end of the cavalry team and asked Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo is more than sixty years old, but at this moment, he is wearing heavy armor, a sword at his waist, a lion pocket, and a red robe, and he still looks majestic and dignified, with the appearance of a general.

But after all, he is also old, and he led the cavalry to gallop from Chang'an to Liu Jian's camp day and night, and temporarily rerouted to Luoyang halfway, which can be said to be a trend that tired his bones and wanted to fall apart.

In the past two days, Dong Zhuo has continued to sigh in his heart that he is really not as good as he was back then.

It's just that he is old, but he has no heirs who can be trusted, which really makes Dong Zhuo's heart feel sad.

Lao Xiangguo adjusted his mind and said, "Let the long history of Luoyang come to see the old man!" ”

After a while, I saw Zhang Ji under the leadership of a group of soldiers of the Xiliang Army come to Dong Zhuo.

"The last official Zhang Ji, meet Xiangguo!"

Dong Zhuo grimaced and said: "The old man galloped thousands of miles to come, Lu Zi didn't open the city to greet the old man, but instead closed the gate of Luoyang City, and sent you here again, wanting to rebel?" ”

In the face of Dong Zhuo's stern questioning, Zhang Ji was not afraid, but said very calmly: "Why did Xiangguo say this? Duke Lu was ordered by the Son of Heaven to sit in Luoyang and become a barrier to the imperial court. ”

"The land of Luoyang is the first barrier of Chang'an in the east, and it is also the place where the world's wealthy businessmen gather! In such an important place, if the country wants to send troops and horses to garrison, or to pass by, there must be an explicit instruction from Shangshutai! Is that what is appropriate? ”

Dong Zhuo leaned forward.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "The old man's soldiers and horses are here, do you also need the imperial court's explicit instructions?" ”

Zhang Jilang said: "Naturally! ”

"Hmph, look for death!"

Fan Chou on the side directly pulled out the sword at his waist and put it on Zhang Ji's neck.

Zhang Ji looked at Dong Zhuo without fear: "If it is as Xiangguo intended, then the last official may ask Xiangguo, today Xiangguo led the troops to Luoyang, I don't respect the process of the imperial court, wantonly open the city and invite Xiangguo's soldiers and horses to enter the city, and the generals under the command of Xiangguo will lead the troops to come, can I wait to open the city?" ”

"The captain under Xiangguo is here, can I wait to open the city?"

"As soon as this precedent is opened, as long as someone in the name of Xiangguo comes with soldiers and horses in the future, do we all need to open the city?"

"If Xiang Guo thinks that it is appropriate to act like this, then the official will return to Luoyang and ask Lu Gong to go out of the city and ask Xiang Guo to ask for his guilt!"

"Then the last official should kill himself before the war horse of Xiangguo!"

Fan Chou gritted his teeth on the side and said, "You still dare to speak wildly? Look for death! ”

Then raise your sword and slash at it.

"Wait!" Dong Zhuo slowly raised his hand to block Fan Chou's move.

Then, I saw Dong Zhuo looking at Fan Chou below with a smile, and said loudly: "It's really a madman, but it's also a real talent, the old man likes it!" ”

"You're right, this time, it's the old man who has acted arrogantly, but there is an emergency, and the old man has to do this!"

"The old man asked you to go back and apologize to Gong Lu, and tell Gong Lu that you will not be an example! This kind of thing will definitely be put an end to in the future, how about it? ”

Zhang Ji waved at Dong Zhuo and said, "Don't dare to be, the last official will go back and ask Duke Lu to open the city gate." ”

Lu Zhi was originally going to open the city gate, but when Zhang Ji watched, he opened the city gate like this, and maybe it would be true in the future, but now that Dong Zhuo admitted his mistake in person and promised not to make an example, then even if Lu Zhi let Dong Zhuo enter Luoyang, it would not be considered a dereliction of duty.

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Zhang Changshi is loyal and courageous...... In the coming day, you will return to Chang'an with the old man, and the old man should entrust you with a heavy responsibility, but it is better than you are the history of the head of the first district in Luoyang, how about it? ”

With Zhang Ji's high-ranking status, he naturally disdains Dong Zhuo's solicitation.

"Lu Gong has the grace of knowing Zhang, and he can't bear to abandon it, and I ask Xiangguo to forgive me."

Dong Zhuoren is old and refined, so he can naturally see that Zhang Ji is clearly perfunctory with this statement.

His face was unusually displeased.

Fan Chou on the side said: "Shaft, Xiangguo kindly recruited you and wanted to promote you, but you don't know how to lift, I don't know who is the real hero in this world!" ”

Zhang Ji narrowed his eyes and asked, "Dare to ask the general, how is Xiangguo heroic?" ”

"Hmph, take a look, my family Xiangguo came from Chang'an to Luoyang, and it took less than four days for a thousand miles of land, just with this one tactic, who can match it in the whole world?"

When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

Thousands of miles away, four days of galloping, is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The old man is riding a horse all over the world, no one has been able to make the old man rest his horse for decades, this method of galloping day and night, no one can do it except the old man!" ”

"It's Liu Deran, in terms of his current position, he wants to come to Luoyang when he gets the news, and it will take two days to arrive at the earliest, understand?"

"Hahaha~~ When it comes to the speed of using soldiers, who in the world can compare to the old man?"

Just when Dong Zhuo was laughing wildly, he suddenly remembered the earth-shaking sound of stepping on a horse in the distance.

Then, I heard a roar from time to time:

"Please Xiangguo rest the horse!"

"Please Xiangguo rest the horse!"

“……”

Dong Zhuo's wild laughter came to an abrupt end.
