Volume 1 Chapter 459 Under the City of Luoyang (II)
Luoyang
An earth-shattering thunder shook the earth, and the entire city and the entire majestic palace were drowned in a rain curtain like a hemp curtain.
The clouds were pressed black and heavy, and the thunder was one after another, illuminating the whole heaven and earth white, and after the lightning, it was dark and no one could be seen.
Jiang Chen stood in the rain, looked up at the city, and sighed: "I don't want us, it's really incredible that we can really reach the outside of Luoyang City." ”
Liu Biao was moved at this time, looked at the majestic city, and said: "Since Dong Thief is so weak, we have 30,000 soldiers at this time, why don't we station on the spot and wait for Liu Yuanjun's army to gather, pull out this city in one fell swoop, and restore our Han Sheji?"
Liu Biao said very emotionally, his two eyebrows were twisted together, and he looked at Jiang Chen with blazing eyes, and although Jiang Chen listened attentively, he did not speak, until Liu Biao finished speaking, he said to Liu Biao: "Lord Liu, although we are popular with the people, the righteous army has gathered, and 30,000 soldiers have been gathered in one day, and the people are still countless. ”
"But we know very well that now we are only strong in the outside, and our 1,000 people have expanded to 30,000, and it is difficult to even barely maintain command, at this time, as long as Dong Thief sends another 1,000 horsemen, our 30,000 people will collapse immediately."
"What the general said is that now the thunderstorm is great, and because of this relationship, the dragon qi is overwhelming, and the art of looking at qi is confused, so we have to survive. Diao Chan was on the side and said: "We entered Luo, just to deceive the thieves for a while, and to startle the birds, but also to win the time for the people to leave, but now, it is the time to transfer immediately." ”
"But the cicada still wants to enter Beijing, and if you contact the dark line, you won't follow. ”
Liu Biao listened, looked at the vast rain and fog, and after a long time, he sighed helplessly and said, "It's just the two of you, it's a pity." ”
"Withdraw" Seeing the ink-stained night, Jiang Chen said lightly.
Luoyang City Tower
The group watched the pouring rain outside.
"Have you investigated the situation outside?" Dong Zhuo asked with a gloomy face as he looked at the continuous rain.
"Taishi, it has been investigated, it seems that someone is raising a flag, and there are rebels below, with about 30,000 to 50,000 people" Li Ru said, and explained the situation in detail.
Dong Zhuo listened, got up and paced a few steps, and asked again, "Are you sure?"
"Although I am sure, I can't be sure, if the righteous army sends 3,000 horsemen to break it, I'm afraid it's a trap, and it will be a big mistake......" Li Ru didn't dare to guarantee at this time, and said.
Dong Zhuo listened, frowned, looked outside, and asked the Taoist: "Do you say that the army down there is a rebellion, or a chaotic people?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden thunderstorm, which shook the earth, and several people's hearts were palpitating, and they fell silent for a while, only the sound of rain and thunder continued, and this person hesitated and said: "Now the luck is confused, and it is a thunderstorm, it is really difficult to distinguish." ”
Dong Zhuo was about to speak, when there was a voice in the distance, and a guard ran over, his face was pale, he knelt on the city wall and said, "Taishi...... Ray ......"
Dong Zhuo's face was blue and white, and he said gloomily: "What's the matter, is the sky falling?"
"Taishifu...... It was struck by lightning and burned up."
When everyone heard this, they were so shocked that they stood up together, and when they looked around with Dong Zhuo, they saw that not far away, the voices of the Taishi Mansion were churning, and there were faint intermittent shouts.
Everyone was cold, this was a bad omen
"Needless to say. Dong Zhuo turned around slowly: "Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable at night, early tomorrow morning, this Taishi will personally lead the army to see where this city is sacred."
"Yes" everyone didn't plan for a while, they just responded.
Li Ru also responded, but he was inexplicable, he felt empty in his heart, and he was lost for a while, he wanted to say something, looked at the night in the distance, and swallowed the words again.
The next day, the wind of midsummer will cease, and the wind and rain will be dull.
The sun is high in the sky, Luoyang from the inner city of the two palaces to the north and south lanes, and then to the east and west outside the city of Guocheng, gradually crowded with the people of relocation, in the face of the bright swords and guns, everyone is obedient and silent, and the heavy footsteps are full of depression.
Everything calmed down, and only the fire was unwilling to burn in the hearts of the people.
"This kind of smell ......" Gao Shun led the five hundred camps, guarding the Kaiyang Gate in the southeast of the city, and saw the tens of thousands of horsemen below threatening hundreds of thousands of people out of the city, and was silent for a while.
As far as the eye can see from the city, the suburbs are already dark.
The people who left the city in the early stage merged into the people of the suburbs, forming a huge wave of people moving westward, moving around the wilderness like ants.
The hot sunlight shone on the suburbs of Fangyuan for 200 miles, and there were too many people going to Chang'an, which could no longer be accommodated by the official road.
In fact, they dragged each other to fill the wilderness, and there were chaotic soldiers everywhere to fight and fight, and chaos began to appear...... In the eyes of the discerning person, this is the most crazy after the rear.
"Evil, ......" the general whispered and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but he could expect the end of most of these hastily migrated people.
"This is quite restrained, once it falls into the night, it will be more serious, the sergeants collude to do evil, causing the conflict to accumulate to the point that it is unbearable, and finally turn into a big chaos, what is the difference between this and the battalion roar?"
"There may not be too many people killed directly, I am afraid that I will die in the chaos and trample in the ravines...... Even if you have martial arts, it is dangerous in the crowd of people who run around. ”
"I'm in such a hurry, I heard it was yesterday. ”
"Yesterday, someone held the banner of Liu Da'er, gathered tens of thousands of people overnight, walked around Luoyang, frightened some people thought that Liu Da'er was coming, and after checking in the morning, they realized that the road was just a temporary gathering of people, and they had gone hundreds of miles away at night. ”
This made the deployment chaotic, General Xu led people over, and the Taishi was furious, beheaded several generals and colonels, and ordered to move immediately. ”
"Must have run away......"
All kinds of chaos made Luoyang like hell, and there were few teams in the Xiliang Army that had always maintained military discipline, and some soldiers couldn't help but look back at the commander.
Gao Shun clenched the sword in his hand, was silent in the face of these gazes, and just scolded: "What nonsense, be careful of military discipline"
After saying nothing, he felt uncomfortable: "What have you been doing in the past few years?" Xu Huang led the troops out of Lu, and whether he was willing to come back or not, I was afraid that he couldn't say ......."
In the distance, a group of urging foot riders gradually spread to the southern outskirts of the city...... Soon another cavalry army broke and rushed back to the city gates, shouting that they had found the enemy.
"Go to the Taishi's Mansion and report it. "The city gate official casually perfunctory, Luoyang is in chaos, these military affairs are all managed from above, where is their turn to care.
Southern suburbs Zhuangzi
Xu Huang looked up, and faced with just an empty village, even the servants and peasants were all dismissed, and there was not even a shadow.
The scouts who searched were a little apprehensive when they reported it, looking for good news and saying, "The grain in the granary has not been taken away."
"Shipwreck"
Xu Huang spit out the word, and couldn't help but admire a little: "The enemy is lightly armed and simple, very decisive, now Luoyang City is a crater right now, and it's okay for the army to be forced, once the Taishi personally marches eastward, the rear may be completely eroded......"
The generals were shocked and instinctively disagreed, but they were silent when they looked at the chaotic migration teams around them, spread like ants all over this field and wasteland, and looked at the endless beacon fire and wolf smoke in the east.
"Gyeonggi is so messy, it's hard to guard......" Many people expressed their grievances, but they forgot that these chaos was caused by their own hands, and it was only after the foreign enemy was forced to show the consequences of the backlash.
Xu Huang stopped talking, his eyes swept around, and he hurriedly led the troops out, only then did he have time to observe these subordinates, Xu Huang squinted his eyes and thought about it......
Which of these people can be trusted?
Which ones can be fought for, and which ones do you want to follow Dong Zhuo completely?
At this time, there were several princes who had secretly contacted him, although he did not agree immediately, it was because he knew that the Dao immediately turned back to the water was of little value, which was more valuable than defecting in front of the battle?
At present, 10,000 troops are finally brought out, and the number of troops is not much, but it is a lot less, whether it is Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Jian, at least he can be a general, or he is too guarded, it is better than continuing to stay on the sunken ship of Dong Zhuo.
"The Lord has been in the second year, so let's finish it. Xu Huang thought about it and ordered: "The enemy situation is unknown, but it may be to go west to converge, report to the Taishi Mansion, and please stay in Luoyang."
This cavalry scout rushed into Luoyang City from the southern suburbs, and at this time, the congestion of people on the street undoubtedly made the traditional letter mode extremely difficult, until he ran into a Taiping Taoist magician on the way, and the scout sent the urgent news of the enemy's westward escape into the Taishi's mansion......
The sun was almost noon, and when Zhu Jun's civil and military ministers were relieved from the dull meeting of the Taishi Mansion, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the chaos on the street, he frowned, and one by one he could only let the carriage move in the crowd.
It seems to be a coincidence, at a street intersection, it was suddenly congested by a group of people, and Wang Situ's car was seen driving from behind
"Lord Situ asked General Zhu to drive over and explain. "One of the servants handed you a sticker.
Zhu Jun glanced at this person and saw that he had good martial arts, and his heart was full of light: "It is rumored that Lord Wang's mansion was attacked two years ago, if it weren't for Liu Bei's desperate rescue, the family would be unlucky, so he raised many masters? ”
I disdain and disdain in my heart, but I heard that Wang Yun's daughters eloped with Liu Bei, and they could also use this to get rid of suspicion in front of Dong Zhuo, this kind of black and white literati ability still makes martial artists jealous, Zhu Jun didn't dare to slack off, thought about it, and said: "Pull over the car, I'll go to see Master Situ"
"Yes"
When he got closer, Zhu Jun went over, and a small guy greeted him and invited him in.
The inside is very large, there is a window in the middle, and there is a small table, it is more than enough for a few people to sit, Zhu Jun was stunned, remembering that this model was created by Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, although it was hostile a few years ago, it was all the rage in Luoyang, it is said that even the Taishi is no exception, and secretly thought: "This old thief can enjoy it." ”
But he didn't dare to slack off, and saluted: "Meet Lord Situ"
"Please, please. ”
On the occasion of greetings, Zhu Jun noticed that there was a cloak man sitting in the corner of the carriage, and he couldn't hide his slender posture, so that people could know that Lu Dao was a beauty at a glance, and with an indistinguishable spell atmosphere, he couldn't help but guess that he was beautiful and able to guard, and he scolded in his heart: "There is still this woman in the car to serve, this old man will really enjoy happiness"
