Lu Zhi and Cao Cao were relieved at this time, and at this time Lu Zhi said: "At the beginning, you and other coalition forces said that the three dukes sent letters to all states and counties, stating Dong Zhuo's evil deeds, and hoping that all localities would raise troops. However, Dong Zhuo is the respect of Xiangguo, and the crusade against Xiangguo with the Three Public Orders is to commit the following crimes, which directly damage the majesty of the court, and I think it has become a mistake. Today, I asked the king of Donglai for the king's order, counted Dong Zhuo's crimes, and asked him to resign from the position of Xiangguo, reappointed as the pastor of Liangzhou, went out of the town of Xiliang, and presided over the pacification of the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion. This is the right way. ”

Yuan Shao and others were overjoyed, the previous coalition army was just a letter from the three princes, but now there is the king of Donglai King's order, and the name is justified. Yuan Shao immediately bowed and said: "This is very good, but please ask Duke Lu to ask the king to give his order and tell the world, so that Dong Zhuo will completely lose the hearts of the people in the world." ”

Cao Cao said: "I'm afraid that Dong Zhuozhan will love power and refuse to resign." ”

Lu Zhi shouted proudly: "I and Tianming led the troops to the west, broke into Gao, and according to Aocang, forced Dong Zhuo to resign himself." ”

Under the discussion between Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao and others, the alliance finally decided to change its course and changed to the slogan of driving Dong Zhuo from Beijing on the orders of King Donglai, which greatly eased the hostility with Dong Zhuo.

And the reason why Yuan Shao agreed was that he was afraid that the two raids of the Xiliang army in Hanoi and Yingchuan would make him afraid, and he had some scruples, so he retreated to the next best, hoping to persuade Dong Zhuo to retire with the threat of momentum and food.

It's just that Lu Zhi still thinks too beautifully, Yuan Shao has his own plans in his heart, once Dong Zhuo leaves Beijing, he will take advantage of the situation to enter Beijing to govern, and chase him hard. If you don't leave Beijing, you will justifiably disobey the jurisdiction of the court and divide one side to seize the world. And Dong Zhuo is not stupid, the cruelty of the political struggle is whether he can go up or down, as long as he leaves the Beijing Division, what awaits him is the end of death and annihilation. Therefore, Lu Zhizhi's idea was destined to fail.

After that, there is a grand new formal covenant, which rekindles the covenant vows and calls the world. In the confession, he no longer shouted at Dong Zhuo to kill, but only persuaded him to leave Beijing. and sent an envoy to Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, to give Dong Zhuo ten days to think about it.

Yuan Shao also promoted Lu Zhi to the post of military advisor of the coalition army, and praised He Bai as General Zhaode. He Bai is Dong Zhuo's recommender and should be the vanguard officer of the coalition army. If Dong Zhuo refused to leave Beijing, he would send troops to advance to Xingyang, Bishui Pass, Tiger Prison Pass, and Chenggao, and capture Aocang, forcing Dong Zhuo's army to retreat without food until Dong Zhuo quit himself.

He Bai did not shirk, the purpose of this battle was originally to make the reputation of the army. Through the victory of Dong Zhuojun in the battle, his reputation has become a celebrity who is not inferior to Yuan Shao, and is admired by the world. As for Dong Zhuo's decision, it is not something he can control.

However, the envoy hurried up, and returned in only five days, which not only brought Dong Zhuo's determination to fight the allies to the death, but also brought the news that Dong Zhuo forced 220,000 households and more than one million people in Henan Yin, including the emperor, palace people, and hundreds of officials in Luoyang City to move the capital to Chang'an.

In the end, there was the news that nearly 100 members of the Yuan clan led by Taifu Yuan Kui were all arrested, and Dong Zhuo even ordered Yuan Shao to surrender within five days after receiving the letter, otherwise what awaited him was the consequence of Yuan Kui and other Yuan clans being executed.

The heroes were shocked, and they couldn't believe that Dong Zhuo would move the capital to break the persecution of the Guanqi army. Lu Zhi was even more sad, crying that the people of Henan had been displaced because of the fact that they had died. He Bai hurriedly persuaded that Dong Zhuo's trip had nothing to do with Lu Zhi, but a decision that had been made before Lu Zhi's arrival, otherwise it would not have been so fast, Lu Zhi was a little calm, but his own spirit was decaying.

Yuan Shao hesitated when he heard the news, thinking that his uncle Yuan Kui was Dong Zhuo's master and benefactor. Thinking that Dong Zhuo was just a deterrent, he would never dare to kill Yuan Kui. I didn't want to pass five days, but the Xiliang army sent the head of Taikui Yuan Kui to close it in Bishui. This completely shocked Lu Zhi, who had good intentions, and didn't want the rumored tyrannical Dong Zhuo to be so cruel and ruthless, even the benefactor said that he would kill him, so who would he care?

Yuan Shao even cried to the ground, if he had a public grudge with Dong Zhuo before, but now it has added to the family feud. After that, Yuan Shao's party was even more murderous and shouted that they wanted to fight Dong Zhuo endlessly, and asked He Bai to attack immediately, and after their princes packed up their troops and horses, they followed closely.

So on the second day, He Bai was ready to set off with his army. Lu Zhi felt unwell because of the blow, so he could not make the trip, and handed over all the Donglai troops to He Bai's command. At this point, He Bai already has an army of 30,000 people, and if you add 30,000 people, it will reach 60,000.

In the face of the surging 60,000 horses, He Bai had no passion in his heart, and some were just panicked. In terms of personal ability, it would be good to be able to lead an army of 10,000 people to attack and fight, but now he is in command of 60,000 horses. It is too much of a responsibility not only to ensure the victory of the battle, but also to ensure the safe return of the soldiers and civilians. In the face of the legendary brave and blood-devouring Xiliang Qiang soldiers, is there a chance of victory?

He Bai thought about it, he didn't seem to be too confident, for the sake of safety, he still kept 30,000 people in sour dates temporarily, asked Lu Zhi to manage it on his behalf, and went out with the allied army, and he only led 30,000 troops first. The Donglai County soldiers were all changed to baggage troops, and all the main combat matters would be handed over to the Northern Navy. The princes who saw them off were very puzzled when they heard this, and their brother-in-law Gongsun Zhan, who had already felt that he had a good relationship, asked softly.

"Tianming, why don't you take the people on the expedition? You must know that there will be a water and a tiger prison Xiongguan here, and there will be a strong city into Gao, and the people will be a good tool for attacking the city with negative soil and consuming the enemy's materials to defend the city. Even if there is too much loss of soldiers, you can also choose a strong one from them. ”

He Bai was very speechless when he heard this, and regarded the people as tools, cutting and resurrecting, this is the reason why Gongsun Chan was defeated. He Bai could only bow his hand and say: "Thank you brother for the point, it's just that I am the vanguard, and I should be the main elite, and there are too many people, which is not good." ”

Gongsun Chan saw that He Bai rejected his own opinion, and he didn't want to say anything. After all, the relationship between the two was not good at the beginning, and it has just improved, and it can't be said too much. So he said: "Tianming is still too sincere, and he even raised the army of the county to ask for Dong." You see, Yuan Ben only let others take advantage of his own fire, but he himself sat on an army of 30,000 in Hanoi and watched, where did he look like the leader of the alliance. The day is gone, you can do what you can, don't be careless, don't let my sister be widowed. ”

"Yes, brother's advice, I must take it to heart." He Baiyu was slandered in his heart, glanced at Yuan Shao, who was bringing filial piety to Yuan Kui, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "It's just that Dong Zhuo has no grudge against his brother, but I don't know why my brother also came to join the alliance?" ”

Gongsun Zhan spread his hands and said with a pout: "It's not that I was confused by Liu Gongshan, my wife is the daughter of the Liu family, and she is a cousin with Yuan Shaozhi's stepsister, so I was invited to come." ”

He Bai was stunned, he didn't want Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao to have this relationship, then he was Gongsun Zhan's brother-in-law, and he could be regarded as having a relationship with Yuan Shao. It's a small world. In later generations, it was said that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was actually a family fighting, which was not bad.

He Bai then bid farewell to the princes and officially led the troops to set off. Out of the sour jujube, to Yuanwu, the county magistrate and officials of Yuanwu had already fled, only the Qiang cavalry of the Dong army scouts plundered in the countryside, and at this time they all surrounded He Bai's army. When He Bai heard the report, he couldn't help but be furious, this Dong Jun was so bold that he actually came to the left of the 100,000 coalition army of sour dates. I just want to probe information and cover the battlefield, but when facing the army, I can't.

He Bai immediately sent the usual light cavalry and martial arts to fight blood horses, and this time the three thousand He private soldiers who came to the aid led by the Fu Punishment Center, in addition to the two thousand foot soldiers, there were five hundred martial arts and blood horsemen and five hundred white horse righteous cavalry, which were led by Yu Hua and Du Lei respectively. Now General Yu Huasan has other important things to do, and has taken 1,500 people with him. So the cavalry was handed over to Du Lei to command, and accompanied the Chinese army to the left.

Now that they heard the order, the martial blood horsemen who had not fought for more than a year immediately roared out and scattered in all directions. With the passage of time, the sound of killing in Yu Lu was endless, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rampant in the northwest and the martial arts blood cavalry from Youhe fought skirmishes again and again, although the scale was small, but the tragic state was not inferior to the great battle of 10,000 people. When He Bai's army arrived at Juan County in front of Bishui Pass, it finally came to an end.

"Report, lord." Du Lei frowned deeply, and said with a heartache: "Our army's martial arts and bloody cavalry have fought dozens of times with the Western Liangqiang cavalry, and a total of two hundred and seventeen levels of the Western Liangqiang cavalry have been killed. One hundred and forty-three of our horsemen were killed and forty-eight wounded. The Western Liangqiang cavalry scouts within a hundred miles have been basically cleared. ”

"Hiss......" He Bai gasped, the previously invincible martial arts blood rider actually only defeated the Xiliangqiang rider, this result could surprise He Bai.

"Why did our martial arts and bloody cavalry suffer heavy casualties?"

Du Lei bowed his hand and said: "Back to the lord, the main thing is the problem of horses, the war horses ridden by Xiliangqiang are more explosive and powerful, and in the short-distance pursuit, they can often catch up with our blood horses." The Western Liangqiang cavalry is good at spear halberds, and in close combat, our blood cavalry often falls behind. As a result, the effects of long-range combat are negated by melee combat, which is why there are heavy casualties. ”

He Bai nodded solemnly, the Martial Blood Cavalry was good at holding back the enemy with cavalry and shooting; And the Western Liangqiang cavalry is not weak, and is better at assault melee combat. The Xiliang horse is better than the Wuhuan horse in the charge, so it has such an effect.

He Bai muttered: "I hope that the Xiliang army can be intimidated by our army and no longer peep into the left and near of our army." Has the enemy situation been discovered? ”

Du Lei said: "Back to the lord, there are about 15,000 troops in Bishui Pass in the west of our army, and the guards will be Hua Xiong, the captain of the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, and the deputy will be Li Su, the captain of the cavalry, and Zhao Cen, the captain of the cavalry. Xingyang City in the southwest has a thousand soldiers, and the defender will be a military Sima of the Xiliang Army. ”

He Bai secretly said that Bishui Guanzhong is the same as said in the book, except that there is one less Hu Zhen and no 50,000 troops. It's just that I don't know if this Huaxiong still dares to fight heads-up? If you dare, take the opportunity to kill him.

Du Lei squeaked and said: "Lord, it seems that before our army, there was an army that came to seize the pass, but it was unexpectedly broken by the newly arrived Huaxiong army, and even the main general was beheaded. One after another, the defeated soldiers fled to us. ”

He Bai was stunned and asked, "But Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin?" ”

Du Lei said: "The lord saw it clearly, and listened to the words of the defeated soldier that it was Bao Zhong, the commander of the soldiers of Jibei County. ”

He Bai was speechless after hearing this, and he didn't know what Bao Xin thought, when no one was in the vanguard, he didn't send troops. Sun Jian became the vanguard, but he sent troops to fight for merit. And now that he is the vanguard, he still sent troops. Not only did he lose his brothers and many soldiers in vain, but he also caused the morale of the coalition army to plummet. Why bother? So he ordered to send troops to collect the defeated soldiers in Jibei and hand them over to Zhang Liao of the rear army to manage.

Early in the morning of the second day, He Bai led Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Fu Xing, Chun Yuqiong and other generals, and the leading soldiers of each department, Sima, under the command of Du Lei and 500 white horse righteous servants, to go to Bishui Pass together, wanting to personally explore the defense and enemy situation of Bishui Pass, so as to distribute the key matters of each general.

After traveling dozens of miles, it took more than half of the time to arrive at the bottom of the Bishui Pass. He Bai ordered Bai Ma Yi to answer from six miles away from the pause, and went away from Wangshui Pass with dozens of horses.

The geographical location of this world is slightly different from that of later generations, for example, the sour dates of later generations were in the north of the Yellow River, but now they are in the south of the Yellow River. This may be a matter of diversion of the Yellow River, but Bishui Pass was originally the same place as Hugao Pass, but the historical name is different.

However, in this world, Bishui Pass is an independent pass, it is twenty miles northwest of Xingyang County, facing the Yellow River, Jishui and chasm in the north, and the mountains in the south, which is a key pass to Luoyang. In the southeast of Xingyang, there is also a road that can lead to Luoyang, but forty miles southwest of Xingyang, there is Xiongguan Tiger Pass to block it.

That is to say, Bishui Pass is more than ten miles northeast of Tiger Prison Pass, and each has a road leading to Luoyang, which is blocked by two passes, and Xingyang is in front of the two passes, as a protrusion towering in front of the world. It's just that Xingyang City is small, and it is far less valued than the two levels of Bishui and Tiger Prison.

Like all Xiongguan, Bishui Pass is mostly built in narrow places. In addition to blocking traffic and guarding, the purpose of building a pass is to attract a large number of enemy troops, so the pass usually cannot be built in a very narrow place, otherwise others will turn around and leave, there is no desire to tackle the key problems, and the goal of attracting enemy troops cannot be achieved.
