Chapter 10 won the 61st section of the Central Plains in early March, Luoyang. As time passed, the deadline set by Li Hong was getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in Luoyang became more and more tense.

The twelve gates of Luoyang City were crowded with people, and the people were carrying all kinds of materials into the city, and grain, ordnance, wood, and stones were piled up on the spacious avenue like a hill.

Within five miles of the periphery of the city, more than 100,000 people are building urn cities, digging moats, and laying horse rejecting deer barricades, busy day and night.

Ordinary people in other areas outside Luoyang, under the organization and command of officials at all levels, also began to demolish their houses.

From Luoyang to Yique Pass, Dagu Pass, and then to Guangcheng Pass, Luyang area hundreds of miles long on the road, the flow of people and vehicles from south to north, extremely busy.

When night comes, the torches moving on the gallop road converge into a vast and beautiful galaxy. Yuan Wei, Feng Ji, Judge and others performed their duties, or took Peng's subordinates to deal with government affairs all night in the palace, or took their guards to inspect back and forth at the city and river passes, and everyone worked together to forge Luoyang into a fortress that would never fall in the shortest possible time.

In early March, Han Qiong and Zhao Rui, the guards of Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, told Yuan Shao that the warships of the Northern Xinjiang Army had begun to assemble in the area of Heyang City on the opposite bank, and the attack might be about to begin.

Yuan Shao urgently summoned Yuan Wei, Feng Ji and others to discuss the matter. At present, the families of the wealthy and officials at all levels in the city have basically been evacuated.

The constant tide of retreat caused panic for a time, and many people began to flee with their families, but they were all blocked at the pass.

Under the pacification and deception of the government officials at all levels, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled who were concentrated in Shanglinyuan, other men, women and children were recruited as civil husbands to demolish houses and strengthen the city defenses everywhere.

As a result, the speed of construction of Luoyang City's defense facilities and the manufacturing of defense equipment were greatly accelerated. Because the evacuees carried a large amount of family belongings, the carriages and horses gathered and galloped, which brought certain difficulties to Jingzhou and Yuzhou to the north to transport grain, grass and baggage.

Feng Ji was responsible for organizing the evacuation of personnel from Luoyang, and he had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. For this reason, he was sharply criticized by Xun Chen, Chen Lin and others.

There are words of suffering in every discipline. These gate lords have land and mansions in Luoyang and have a large amount of grain. Because Yuan Shao could not hold Luoyang, their land could not be cultivated, the house was damaged, and the grain in the treasury could not be transported away and had to be sold to Yuan Shao cheaply.

Yuan Shao picked up a big bargain and secretly had fun. The losses of the gate valve tycoons are amazing, and of course they have to take away what they can take away, and Yuan Shao is not too much, and he has more or less opened the door of convenience in transportation.

In addition, the property of Yuan Shao and Yuan Wei, the magnates of the Yuan valve, is also very amazing, and the carriages transporting the property are lined up in a long line, in order to quickly withdraw the property of the Yuan valve from Luoyang, of course, the gallop must be given to them for their own use first.

Feng Ji was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he was angry. Yuan Shao knew it in his heart and came forward to play a round. said that he immediately wrote to Liu Biao, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and others, asking them to stick to the front line in Luyang until July no matter what.

Then he took out Yuan Tan's letter and changed the subject. Guo Jia's strategy eased everyone's panic and anxiety a little.

If Cao Cao and Sun Quan can keep their promise and launch an attack on Yanzhou on the eastern battlefield early next year, plus Liu Bei will launch an attack on Guanzhong on the western battlefield, then it is very likely that the coalition forces will defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army, which has been exhausted under Luoyang City, and form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.

Once the situation of confrontation between the north and the south is formed and the war falls into a stalemate, the unfavorable situation in Luoyang will certainly be reversed.

"We can't pin all our hopes of victory on someone else." Yuan Shao said,

"Now that Sheji has reached the critical point of life and death, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others must fight to the death for the sake of the Han Dynasty or for their own survival. But whether they can succeed or not depends on whether we can hold Luoyang in the end, so ......" Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I have decided to stay in Luoyang and personally lead the army to fight Li Hong to the death." Judge, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Chen Lin, Wang Xiu, Wang Qiu and others were immediately shocked.

Yuan Wei, Yuan Zhong, Feng Ji and others were dumbfounded, although they had the heart to advise, but when they saw Yuan Shao's resolute expression and the excitement of others, they couldn't speak if they wanted to.

"My lord, where is Xianfu (Yuan Shang)?" Feng Ji asked in a low voice,

"Does Xianfu also stay in Luoyang?" Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and nodded slowly,

"This battle was won, Xianfu made great achievements, and was supported by the generals in the army, so it is natural to inherit the Yuan family business." Feng Ji hesitated for a moment, approached Yuan Shao and persuaded,

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, adults can't help but think about it."

"What if?" Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically,

"In case Luoyang is lost, how long can the Yuan family support it? Li Hong usurped the world, and the Yuan family still has a place to live? Even if I send Xianfu out, but now Xiansi (Yuan Tan) is in Yuzhou, Xianyi (Yuan Xi) is in Nanyang, each has an army, how can Xianfu have a place? Yuan Shao stretched out his hand to pat Feng Ji and sighed softly,

"In life, I am struggling all the time, so am I, so are you, and so is Xianfu. If he wins, he will get everything, and if he loses, he will lose everything. So be it. "In March, Yizhou, Guanghan County, Fucheng (now Mianyang).

Liu Bei and Pang Yi joined forces in one place, and rushed north from Jiangzhou (now Chongqing) to Dianjiang (now Hechuan), and the army rested for a while, and after the grain and grass were ready, they immediately went north along Fushui, connecting Deyang and Guanghan, and approached Fucheng.

Fucheng has always been the throat of Shu Road, its north is Jianmen Pass, there are three ancient plank roads of Golden Bull, Rice Warehouse, Yangba (later called Lychee Road) and cross Ba Mountain and enter Hanzhong.

There is a Yinping trail in the west of it, which can lead to Longxi. To the south of it is the lower Gangneung of Fushui Kelianba County. Two hundred miles to the south is Chengdu.

After taking Fucheng, Shu County has no danger to defend, although Chengdu still has Lutou Pass and Baima Pass before, but because it is located in the plain, it has been unable to stop the army that has been discharged.

At this time, Deng Xian, the defender of Fucheng, had already received the news and was ready to fight, while Liu Bei's army was full of pain.

The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were very unaccustomed to the climate of Bashu, and the severe cold at the time made the attrition very serious.

After the army arrived in Ba County, the transportation of grain and grass was taken care of by the people of Ba County. However, because of the difficult and dangerous road, and the small number of people recruited by Ba County, the transportation of grain and grass was extremely difficult, and the army had to stop several times to wait for the baggage camp.

Liu Bei and his soldiers were originally full of confidence in the capture of Chengdu, but after a two-month long journey, the morale of the army was greatly damaged, and the morale of the army had begun to weaken, and they felt that Chengdu was getting farther and farther away from them.

After the Western Expeditionary Army staggered to Fucheng, Liu Bei categorically decided to set up camp to rest and postpone the attack. Although Pang Yi urged again and again, Liu Bei just didn't agree.

During the rest of the army, Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to carefully inspect the terrain. Faced with the dangerous terrain of Fucheng, Liu Bei and others were very depressed and at a loss.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong are from Youzhou, Sun Qian is from Qingzhou, and Zhu Zhu and Cao Bao are from Xuzhou.

Fortunately, Kuai Liang had the foresight to let Gan Ning, Yi Yuan, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others follow the Che Cavalry General Camp and give Liu Bei advice.

Gan Ning and Pang Yi had the same opinion, believing that the most important thing to attack from the inland water to the north was speed, and to surprise the enemy, once the enemy was allowed to increase his troops to garrison Fucheng, the difficulty of the attack would be greatly increased.

But now the transport ships of the Western Expeditionary Army are still slowly moving against the current on the water, and the people of Ba County are still slowly carrying the supplies on the ships to the camp with flat poles.

The army was seriously short of food, grass and ordnance, and the losses of the immediate attack were too great for the Western Expeditionary Army to bear.

Liu Bei insisted that the army rest and recuperate, and on the one hand, he ordered Sun Qian and Zhu Zhu to urge the people to speed up the transportation, and on the other hand, he ordered Jian Yong, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to command the craftsmen to rush to make siege equipment and prepare for the siege battle.

At this moment, Liu Pan and Zhao Wei's army had successfully advanced along the outer waters, conquered Nan'an City (now Leshan) in Qianwei County, and fought fiercely with Liu Zhang's army in the area of Wuyang City (now Pengshan).

They are still more than 100 miles away from Chengdu. In mid-March, Hanoi County, Ha Duong Daying. Hu Wei Zhonglang General Sima Yi, Huya Zhonglang General Wei Yan, Dangkou Zhonglang General Fu Hu, Hanoi Taishou Zheng Yan and other more than a dozen civil and military officials gathered in the Chinese army's big tent for military discussion.

Sima Yi stood in front of the map and explained the attack strategy to the generals of the various departments.

"Mengjin is the north gate of Luoyang, and it has always been an important military place on the periphery of Luoyang. Broke through Mengjin and attacked Luoyang City fifty miles south, so ......" Sima Yi faced the generals and frowned slightly,

"We took the lead in breaking through Luoyang's outer defenses, and it is a matter of course that our troops are coming to Luoyang City, on the contrary, if we fail to do this, it will be a shame for our two battalions of Huwei and Huya."

"The general believes that Mengjin and Xiaopingjin are very close to Luoyang, and Yuan Shao has a heavy army here, and he asks us to launch a feint attack immediately to firmly contain the enemy army and help the main force of the army break through from Hangu Pass in the west of Luoyang and Hujiao Pass in the east." Wei Yan sat behind the desk and looked at the generals in the tent,

"Do you understand what I mean? We are a feint, a pinning down of troops, and an auxiliary battlefield, and in the eyes of the general, it is impossible for us to capture Mengjin and enter Luoyang. ”

"Our troops are seriously insufficient, and the more fierce we attack, the more rebels will be in the Mengjin area, so if we want to conquer Mengjin, it is not just too difficult......" He Yi looked at Sima Yi and Wei Yan, his face showing dissatisfaction.

The two young adults and young men are not only tall and mighty, but also valued by the generals, and at this moment they are on the battlefield in Hanoi, and it is understandable that they are eager to make meritorious contributions, but they cannot ignore the reality and take the lives of the soldiers as a child's play.

He Yi is very old in the Yellow Turban Army, he surrendered on the Central Plains battlefield with Sima Yi and Wei Yan to the Hanoi battlefield, and he was relatively tame at the beginning, but he will not be able to do it after a long time.

This time, the general ordered Ji Ling, Lu Mian, Liu Pi and others to form a new army, and he wrote to the general three times and twice, clamoring to go to the Yingchuan battlefield to follow Ji Ling, but the general politely refused.

The general said that most of the soldiers on the battlefield in Hanoi were from Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, and that a veteran like you was needed, and when the time was ripe, I would transfer you to General Ji Ling.

The general did not agree with him leaving Hanoi, but the two young commanders on the battlefield in Hanoi, how uncomfortable he looked, had a very uncomfortable life.

He Yi turned his head to look around, and saw that the generals of all the departments showed appreciation in their eyes, obviously supporting their statements, and they were even more courageous,

"The purpose of the general to let us take the lead in attacking Luoyang is to disrupt Yuan Shao's troop deployment as much as possible, so as to create an opportunity for the main army to break through the periphery of Luoyang. This is what our 20,000-strong army can do, and there is nothing wrong with the orders of the great general. What the two adults said just now is considered to be disobeying the general's order? Wei Yanleng

"Snort", just wanted to refute, Sima Yi waved his hand to stop him,

"Lord He, if I take Meng Jin at a cost of less than three thousand people, will it be considered as disobeying the order of the general?" He Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with all the generals around him, all of whom were mocking.

"Master Sima, what is your plan?"

"The time has not yet come." Sima Yi smiled calmly, pointed to the generals and said,

"When I take Mengjin, enter Luoyang, and help you all make contributions, how should you thank me?" The generals were skeptical, but they did not speak.

He Yi slapped his palm on the desk and shouted: "If the two adults can take the lead in conquering Luoyang, I will follow the two adults and fight to the death from now on, even if I don't hesitate to do it." ”

"Good ......" Sima Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile,

"Patience, gentlemen, I will give you a great surprise. Now you continue to listen to me...... "The Yellow River in the Mengjin section is about 120 li, and the larger ferries are Mengjin, Pingyinjin, Yebanjin, Weisujin, Kipshijin, Pingpingjin and Fupingjin.

Among them, when Xiaopingjin was in the Yellow Turban Incident in the first year of Zhongping, the general He Jin set up a pass in Duting, because the pass was close to the Yellow River, it was impossible to fight.

At present, the rebels' forces are mainly concentrated in the areas of Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and Fupingjin, and the defensive forces of the other four ferries are weak, so we attacked this time with a feint of one force to attack Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and Fupingjin, and attacked Pingyinjin, Yebanjin, Weisujin and Kipshijin with the main force, crossed the river first and set up camp at the foot of Bishan Mountain, and made every effort to rebuild the Heyang Bridge.

The Ha Duong Bridge was burned down by the rebels as early as when we captured Hanoi, and without the bridge, the speed of transporting grain and grass would be seriously affected.

The reason why we took the lead in storming Luoyang and rebuilding the Heyang Bridge was one of the purposes. Wei Yan then gave a detailed explanation of the attack direction of each department,

"Your Excellency, return to the camp immediately and get ready, and attack in three days."

"I won't leave everyone to eat today." Sima Yi smiled,

"After defeating Meng Jin, you invite me and Lord Wei to dinner." In mid-March, Mengjin. At the beginning of the morning sun, the majestic Yellow River is bathed in golden sunlight, the turbid water sets off layers of waves in the faint mist, and the refreshing and slightly cool river breeze gently blows through the pass, quietly submerging into the mountains and mountains.

The big silk on the tower of the city danced wildly in the wind, and the colorful battle flags stretched their vigorous posture in the sun.

The guard on duty held his spear, closed his eyes slightly, and looked boredly at the river in the distance.

An open sail suddenly burst out of the fog. The guard blinked his eyes, and a chill swept through his body.

More black sails poured out, and a tall building boat appeared on the river, riding the wind and waves.

The face of the guard on duty of the "Northern Xinjiang Army ......" changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in a low voice.

"The Northern Frontier Army is coming......" more guards on duty let out a frightened cry.

"Drumming...... Drumming ......" the guard suddenly woke up, and ran along the city wall at a rapid pace, waving his hands incessantly, and shouting hoarsely,

"Drumming...... The Northern Frontier Army is coming......"

"Knock knock knock ......" The war drums sounded, and the low and frightened drums rang out to the four fields, and the entire mountain was awakened at this moment.

When the drum sounded, Han Qiong was sitting in the house leisurely enjoying her breakfast, a bottle of wine, and a plate of mutton.

In the later stages of the Jizhou War, he was defeated in Huaicheng and fled back in embarrassment with Guo Tu and others. Guo Tu was driven to Chang'an, while he was demoted and driven to Baguan for retirement.

Han Qiong was the backbone of the Jizhou forces, and after Yuan Shao deprived him of his military power under the pretext, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others also fell one after another.

In just one year, the coalition forces were defeated again in the Central Plains, the entire territory of Yanzhou and Hanoi was lost, and the Northern Xinjiang Army approached Luoyang City.

Originally, Han Qiong thought that she, like Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, would not be able to escape the fate of a tragic death. Think about Chun Yuqiong, how many years have the relationship with Yuan Shao, and they haven't been killed.

However, fate is sometimes so strange, it is precisely because Chun Yuqiong died that the veteran generals in the army were almost swept away, and Han Qiong, who was indifferent by nature, saved his life, and was also entrusted with the important task by Yuan Shao, who was responsible for guarding the north gate of Luoyang as the general of Pingbei.

Han Qiong's ambition was gone, he sat on the edge of the Yellow River and said to his subordinates, I fought side by side with Li Hong twice more than ten years ago, once in Jizhou to fight Zhang Niujiao, and once in the north to conquer Zhang Chun, and I was invincible.

More than ten years have passed, and he is still invincible. Today, no one can beat him. When I die, bury me on a mountain.

The scenery here is good, you can see both the Yellow River and Luoyang. I was content. Not long after, Han Qiong learned that the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the opposite side was Sima Yi, a stinky boy, and his ambition was suddenly stimulated.

He was very angry, he felt that Li Hong looked down on himself too much, no matter how incompetent I, Han Qiong, I wouldn't be able to beat a brat with undried breasts, right?

Beat. I don't believe I can't beat him. After Han Qiong heard the sound of the drum, she was not surprised, she just frowned slightly, and then took a sip of wine leisurely.

The lieutenant, military Sima, Changshi and others in the pass rushed in in a hurry,

"My lord, the Northern Frontier Army has attacked."

"I know." Han Qiong slowly chewed a piece of mutton in her mouth and waved her hand at them gently,

"What to do, what to do."

"My lord, why don't you go up to the castle tower to have a look?"

"I'll wait until I'm done eating, take a nap, and then I'll check it out." Han Qiong shook her head and said helplessly,

"People are old, and they always can't sleep at night, so they can't help it." In March, Luoyang. Han Qiong and Zhao Rui urgently reported to Yuan Shao that the Hanoi Northern Frontier Army, under the command of Sima Yi and Wei Yan, crossed the river to attack, and quickly captured the four ferries of Pingyinjin, Yebanjin, Weisujin and Kipshijin, and established a camp in Yeluojin and erected a bridge.

At present, the Northern Xinjiang Army's attacks on Mengjin and Xiaopingjin are gradually slowing down, and the main forces are devoted to protecting and erecting the bridge.

Han Qiong said in the letter that there must be a reason for Sima Yi to erect the bridge with great fanfare, and the main direction of attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army is very likely to be Mengjin and Xiaopingjin.

After a little discussion with Feng Ji, Xianbei and others, Yuan Shao believed that it was very likely that the Northern Xinjiang Army would take the north of Luoyang as the main direction of attack, because Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass were too dangerous, and it would be difficult to break through by force, and the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Yingchuan battlefield could not get rid of the siege from Luoyang, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou, and was unable to attack the three passes of Dagu, Yique, and Yuyuan in the short term.

In this case, it is possible that Li Hong will use the Yingchuan battlefield to drag his own reinforcements, and use Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass to drag his main force, and then secretly transfer the army to Hanoi and launch a strong attack from the direction of Hanoi.

Yuan Shao decided to let Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Kuai Yue, Wen Ping, Zhu Ling and others immediately launch an active attack on the Yingchuan battlefield, try their best to recapture Yangzhai City, drag the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Yingchuan battlefield, and delay the time for the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack Luoyang.

At the same time, Yuan Shao ordered Xin Ping to rush to the Henan battlefield, Wang Xiu to rush to the Guanxi battlefield, and Xun Chen to rush to the Yingchuan battlefield to deal with the upcoming all-out attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (201 AD), April. In early April, Yuzhou, Yingchuan. Coalition attacks began one after another.

Zhu Ling and He Qian led the army out of Yuyuan Pass and stormed Yangcheng. Yuan Xi and Wen Ping led the army out of Luyang and advanced to the front line of the Rushui River.

Yuan Tan led his army to attack Linying and advanced along the Yingshui River River to attack and advance. The destination of the three armies is Yangzhai City.

General Yan Liang of the left and General Wen Chou of Wuwei are in Yangzhai City at this moment. After Shi Zhoushan, the head of General Zuo's mansion, sorted out the urgent reports of various ministries, he reported the battle situation in detail to the two adults.

"At present, General Wu Xiong is leading a group of men and horses to block the enemy in Yangcheng on the northern line. General Xu Huang led a group of men and horses to block the enemy in the area of the Rushui River on the western front. General Zhang Xiu led a group of men and horses to block the enemy in the areas of Yingyang, Yingyin, and Xuchang on the southern front. Judging from the battle reports of various departments, Yuan Tan's southern road attack was the most violent. ”

"What about the direction of the Rushui River? How many enemies are there on the opposite side of Xu Huang? Yan Liang looked at the map on the desk with his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"About 40,000 people, twice the number of General Xu Huang." Zhou Shan is a little melancholy,

Yuan Tan appeared, Liu Bei's men and horses were not far away, and the army stationed in Xuchang could not move for the time being, so as not to be attacked by Liu Bei. General Zhang Xiu on the southern front said that he was a little overstretched because of the lack of troops. ”

"As long as he holds the three cities of Yingyang, Yingyin, and Xuchang, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei will not be able to break through the southern front." Wen Chou touched the short beard under his chin and said thoughtfully,

"Where will Liu Bei's army appear?"

"If both the southern and northern fronts are the rebels' containment forces, then Liu Bei's army may appear on the battlefield on the western front." Yan Liang knocked the table and said coldly,

"Tell Gongming (Xu Huang), ask him to pay attention to the south of the battlefield, especially in the area of Kunyang and Wuyang, and send more scouts, so as not to let Liu Bei hit the flank."

"If Liu Bei joins the battlefield on the Western Front, the rebel army will have at least more than 50,000 troops." Wen Chou was anxious, and kept turning his right thumb,

"We still have 40,000 people in our hands, and Xu Huang's army is only 60,000 people, which is comparable to the number of troops......

"The general is also worried that we will go north to attack Luoyang Pass." Yan Liang shook his head helplessly,

"I wish he had sent me another 20,000 horses. Now we can lure the rebels across the Rushui River, but we do not have more than twice as many troops to encircle and annihilate them. It seems that the difficulty of beating Luyang exceeded our expectations. ”

"If Luyang doesn't fight, Yuan Shao's support will not be cut off, and it will be even more difficult for our main force to defeat Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass." Zhou Shan pointed to Lu Yang on the map and said,

"We must think of a way to separate the enemy on the battlefield on the Western Front as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to conquer Luyang."

"Separated?" Yan Liang was talking to himself as he dragged down the map on the desk. The three passes of Otani, Ique, and Hirosei, are marked very prominently on the map.

Zhou Shan looked at Yan Liang suspiciously,

"Your Excellency wants to go to the pass?"

"Looks like you can't fight if you don't fight." Yan Liang sneered,

"Send a team of men and horses along the Rushui River to kill Guangcheng Pass, and first cut off the gallop between Luoyang and Nanyang. The Chidao was intercepted, and Yuan Xi must go to the rescue, so that part of the forces on the battlefield on the Western Front will be divided. ”

"But the enemy still has too many troops." Wen Chou shook his head and said,

"We still can't move. The general repeatedly warned us that the cost of conquering Luyang should not be too great, 60,000 against 30,000 will not work, at least 60,000 against 20,000, or 60,000 against 10,000. Yan Liang was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where is Zifeng (Jiang Wu)'s iron horse now?" Are you still staying? ”

"The Henan battlefield has not yet started the war, and Zifeng's army must still be moving." Wen Chou smiled,

"What? You're going to ask the general for help? Yan Liang nodded,

"I can only ask for help."

"You want to attack Wancheng?" Wen Chou asked in surprise.

"There is a rebel emperor in Wancheng." Yan Liang's hand drew a line along the map,

"Let Zifeng take two thousand iron horsemen to cross the Rushui River, go south from Kunyang, Yexian, and Gamble, and kill Wancheng directly." The murderous aura on Yan Liang's face suddenly appeared,

"Hmph, if they don't come back to help, they will let Zifeng burn and loot in the area of Wancheng, and frequently attack the galloping road leading to Luyang in Wancheng, forcing them to divide their troops to help." Wen Chou and Zhou Shan looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Zishan, if you sneak attack Wancheng, the rebels on the battlefield on the Western Front will retreat on all fronts, and Luyang is impregnable, how can we fight?"

"The general said that we don't necessarily have to capture Luyang, as long as we cut off the gallop road to Luoyang. When Luoyang loses support, our main army breaks through the eight passes, and we will be able to occupy Guangcheng, Dagu and other passes and completely surround Luoyang. Yan Liang's hand swiped back and forth on the map twice,

"Our main target is Yingchuan. Hold Yingchuan, and after the army conquers Luoyang, it can take advantage of the victory to go south and pacify the world. ”

"However, we did not achieve our goal of annihilating the enemy. By the time the main force of the army went north to attack Luoyang, Yingchuan was short of troops, and the battle would be difficult to fight. Zhou Shan persuaded,

"Let's think of something else. A long-distance attack is too dangerous, and if we fail to succeed, we will miss the time to destroy the enemy. Yan Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then resolutely said, "It's decided." Urgently tell the general, please call the tune wind to lead the iron cavalry to help. ”

"Please Lord Zheng Bao come to me for a while, feint to attack Guangcheng Pass, and hand over the matter of cutting off the gallop in the area of Huoyang Mountain. He's an old bandit, and he should be familiar with this kind of thing. "In April, Guanzhong, Chang'an.

In February, Xian Yufu, the general of the right chariot cavalry, Hua Xiong, He Feng and others returned to Chang'an. Soon, the ministers such as Taiwei Xun You, Taifu Kong Rong, and Dong Zhao, the master craftsman, rushed to Guanzhong with a group of Peng subordinates and craftsmen, and began to plan for the reconstruction of Chang'an City.

In the past, the scale of Chang'an City was very large, with a radius of more than 50 li, including Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Jianzhang Palace, Mingguang Palace, North Palace, Mingtang, Biyong and other palace groups, which realized the words of Prime Minister Xiao He

"Nothing is magnificent." After Wang Mang usurped the throne, he ordered the demolition of more than 10 buildings such as Jianzhang, Chengguang, Baoyang, Datai, and Chu Yuanguan in the Hanshang Forest Garden, and used the obtained materials to build the Nine Temples of the New Dynasty in the south of the city, but these buildings were wiped out with a fire from the Red Mei Army.

After Emperor Guangwu was rebuilt, he rebuilt the high temple, eleven tombs of the first emperors and Weiyang Palace, but because Chang'an was not the capital, the scale of reconstruction was not very large, however, they still could not escape the curse of fate, and were burned by Li Dao, Guo Yan and other rebels.

After Xun You, Xu Rong, Kong Rong, Dong Zhao and others carefully surveyed Chang'an City, they decided to rebuild Weiyang Palace on the site of Longshouyuan, and first moved the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to Chang'an.

As for the reconstruction time of other buildings, it is necessary to gradually formulate a restoration strategy according to the financial situation of the imperial court, and take your time.

At the beginning of March, when the snow began to melt, the envoy who had been ordered to go to Hanzhong to appease returned, and he brought Xu Rong very bad news, Zhang Lu refused to be appeased, and deliberately proclaimed himself the king of Hanning.

"King?" Xu Rong was taken aback. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are bold, but they are only self-proclaimed knights

"Gong" is just that, this leader of the Five Doumi Sect dares to call himself

"King", can't help but let people

"Bow down". The envoy said that Zhang Lu's believers dug up a piece of jade from somewhere, and there were words on this piece of jade, which meant that Zhang Lu was a god in the sky, and he led the believers to create a peaceful and peaceful world together, and he was the king of this world.

During the New Year, messengers from the Nanyang court also arrived in Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu and them also mentioned the matter. Yuan Shao was forced by the situation, and it was possible to force the Son of Heaven in Nanyang to agree to worship Zhang Lu as the king of Hanning.

While discussing countermeasures with Xun You and others, Xu Rong hurriedly played the imperial court. At this time, bad news came from the western Xinjiang.
