Chapter 6: Success in the Thirteenth Section of the Day, September of the second year of Xingping of the Han Kingdom (195 AD). In order to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, Dong Cheng quietly took the Son of Heaven camp to the theater ten miles away from Xinfeng City in the middle of the night.

Zhang Ji led his troops to ambush the Hongmen Pavilion five miles outside the city, preparing to attack from behind Yuan Shao. Wang Fang, Huang Fuhong, Yang Feng and others led their troops to garrison in the city, preparing to meet Yuan Shao from the front.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Yuan Shao to attack Xinfeng City. Yuan Shao arrived as promised. The scout flew to report to Zhang Ji that Yuan Shao's army was approaching Xinfeng City.

"How many people came?" Zhang Ji asked nervously,

"Can you see the battle flags of Jingzhou Kuai Yue and Xiliang Ma Teng?"

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army is overwhelming, stretching for ten miles, and there are at least 50,000 troops." The scout cried out in alarm,

"Although we didn't see the battle flags of Jingzhou Kuai Yue and Xiliang Ma Teng, we saw the battle flags of Yuan Wei, Zhu Ling, Gao Gan, and Gao Rou. My lord, Yuan Shao's reinforcements have arrived. Zhang Ji's scalp was numb, and he asked sharply, "Have you seen it clearly?" If you delay a military plane, you will be killed. ”

"My lord, it's true." Zhang Ji was flustered, turned around a few times with his back hand, and resolutely ordered,

"Withdraw, withdraw to the opera pavilion, and rush to Tongguan with the Son of Heaven battalion."

"Urgently tell Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong, Yuan Shao's strength is strong, we can't compete, please retreat to Tongguan quickly." Zhang Ji ran away with his men and horses.

In Xinfeng City, Wang Fang, Huang Fuhong, Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others were also arguing fiercely.

Yuan Shao's reinforcements came so quickly, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai resolutely demanded to give up the attack strategy, first retreat to Tongguan to preserve their strength, and then plan later.

Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong were stubborn and insisted on attacking according to the original plan.

"Recently, we have been in contact with Kuai Yue and Duan Xuan, and we haven't heard that Yuan Shao's reinforcements have entered the customs." Huang Fuhong calmly analyzed,

This must be Yuan Shao's suspicious plan. He has more than 100,000 people, and it is entirely possible to find some strong men from these people, put on leather armor, take weapons, and pretend to be tens of thousands of reinforcements. Let's not fall for his tricks. ”

"Brother Jianshou, if we deceive Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao can't deceive us?" Yang Feng scoffed,

"Duan Xuan and Ma Teng are both forgetful people who see profit and forget righteousness, whoever gives them money will take refuge in whomever they want, this kind of person is not trustworthy. There is also Kuai Yue, he and Yuan Shao are basically the same dog, and he can't wait to kill us. In my opinion, although these people are not Yuan Shao's reinforcements, they are by no means Yuan Shao's suspicious tactics, they must be Kuai Yue, Duan Xuan, and Ma Teng's army. Yuan Shao has a plan and wants to put us to death. We can't beat them, so let's get out of here. When the dispute was over, Zhang Ji's urgent report arrived, and he withdrew first.

As soon as Zhang Ji retreated, no one attacked from behind Yuan Shao, and the battle had already been lost before it was fought.

Wang Fang and Huangfu Hong were so angry that they scolded. Yang Feng, Han Xian and others no longer entangled with them, and each took their soldiers and horses and hurried out of the city.

Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong had no choice but to withdraw. Looking at the fluttering on the castle tower

The word "Han" is big, and Huangfuhong smiles sadly,

"Do I have a chance to come back?" Yuan Shao took Xinfeng City without much effort, and drove the Son of Heaven and the Guanzhong army to Tongguan.

Yuan Shao felt a little incredible, and Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others also found it unbelievable. Just use tens of thousands of people to pretend to be reinforcements and scare the rebels away?

Guanzhong is so easy to get his hands on?

"Chase after it, see what tricks Zhang Ji and Wang Fang are playing?" Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Tan to pursue with a thousand iron cavalry.

Huang Fuhong personally led the army to break off. Yuan Tan didn't dare to chase too close, so he had to follow all the way to Zheng County.

Huangfuhong and the camp of the Son of Heaven rendezvous, and the army hurried into Huayin County, Kansai. Huang Fuhong volunteered to stay and garrison Huayin, and Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and others immediately escorted the Son of Heaven into Tongguan.

Guanzhong has been completely lost at this point. Yuan Shao then led his army to Zhengcheng. The sudden victory made everyone excited.

Now what everyone is discussing is not how to kill the rebel and save the Son of Heaven, but how to take advantage of the victory to win Kansai.

Yuan Shao believed that the main reason was the lack of food, and the Guanzhong armies had lost their combat effectiveness, so they had to withdraw to Tongguan and resist stubbornly according to the dangerous pass of Gaoguan.

"After the Guanzhong armies withdrew to Tongguan and entered Guanxi, the Northern Xinjiang Army, proceeding from its own interests, would definitely shake hands with them and make peace, and give them assistance in terms of food, grass and troops, in order to hold Guanxi and wait for an opportunity to counterattack." Yuan Shao said triumphantly,

"This method is still correct, but it is difficult for Northern Xinjiang to protect itself, and even if you want to help them, it is very limited."

"The general always wants to recapture the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Ji and these people now only have the Son of Heaven as a shield, and they will not give up until they die. The contradictions between the two sides will become more and more intensified along with the food tension and the attack between the east and the west, and will eventually break out. Feng Ji said with a smile,

"When the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Guanzhong armies fought, that is, when we occupied Guanxi." Then he arched his hand at Yuan Shao and complimented happily,

"The lower official is here, first congratulate the lord, and the hegemony will be completed." Yuan Shao's heart was overjoyed, he tried his best to suppress his emotions, said a few words humbly, and then asked: "Now there is a very difficult question, what should the Son of Heaven do?" Zhang Ji and other rebels held the Son of Heaven hostage to Guanxi, dragging the Northern Xinjiang Army and us to a battlefield, which was actually equivalent to sending the Son of Heaven to the hands of the general Li Hong again. If the Son of Heaven is rescued by Li Hong back to Hedong, how will we respond? Tian Feng, Juan Pei, and Guo Tu looked at each other, their faces gloomy.

Yuan Shao occupied Guanzhong, and the meaning behind these words was very obvious.

"If the Son of Heaven is rescued by Li Hong, the fate of the Son of Heaven can be imagined, and Li Hong will immediately become Dong Zhuo's second. That's a good thing for us. Geng Bao smiled,

"Your Excellency can be like the crusade against Dong Zhuo five years ago, and the alliance of various states and counties will crusade against Li Hong."

"Five years ago, the strength of adults was weak, and the states and counties were also few soldiers. And Dong Zhuo has the power of the Son of Heaven, with 100,000 soldiers. Because of this, everyone looked forward to the future, and later there was the ravages of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the final defeat of Dong Dong. ”

"And now? Now, once the adults conquer Kansai and unite Guanzhong, Kansai and Kanto, they will succeed in hegemony and increase their strength sharply. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Wei of Yuzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and Tian Kai of Qingzhou are loyal allies of adults, and Liu Bei of Xuzhou and Yuan Shu of Yangzhou can also win over under the banner of King Li Qin. In this way, the strength of adults can be imagined. On the contrary, after Li Hong held the Son of Heaven hostage, he not only lost the support of some states and counties, but also suffered a great loss of strength because Hebei suffered a rare flood in a century, and it was difficult to turn around in the short term. Under this long and long term, the adults can completely dominate the world and gather soldiers and horses from various states and counties to attack Li Hong, and the world can be determined. There was a sudden silence in the tent.

After a long time, Yuan Shao asked again,

"If the Son of Heaven is unfortunately killed......"

"That day will be decided immediately." Geng Bao immediately continued,

"Luoyang is in our hands, and you can gather the officials of various prefectures and counties to agree on the rebuilding of the imperial system as soon as possible. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and if Li Hong refused to respect him, he would be rebellious, and everyone in the world could punish him. If Li Hong is respected, he can let him guard the desert, wait for the opportunity to cut his military power, and eradicate his power, so that the society can be quickly revitalized. Yuan Shao smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Yuan Shaoshu told Kuai Yue, Duan Xuan, and Ma Teng, detailing the future development of the situation, and asked the three of them to think of the Han Dynasty, abandon their prejudices, and lead the army to Zhengcheng to rendezvous, attack Tongguan together, punish rebellion, and save the Son of Heaven.

Duan Xuan immediately led the army to Zhengcheng to rendezvous. Ma Teng hesitated for a long time. The generals are now unable to protect themselves, and even if the generals of Guanzhong retreat to Kansai, it will be difficult for them to make a comeback.

Ma Teng immediately reorganized the army and horses, and also rushed to Zhengcheng. Kuai Yue was extremely angry at Yuan Shao's unauthorized attack on Xinfeng, which caused the Son of Heaven to be held hostage by rebellion to Kansai.

The army is now rushing to Zheng County, saving the Son of Heaven is fake, helping Yuan Shao to fight Guanxi is true, he is unwilling to go. Kuai Yue urgently wrote to Liu Biao and demanded the withdrawal of troops.

In Kuai Yue's view, the Son of Heaven took refuge in Kansai, which was a self-extinct way. According to the development of the situation, the Son of Heaven was either snatched by Li Hong and taken hostage to Hebei, or was killed by rebellion.

Even if Yuan Shao really saved the Son of Heaven, the emperor of the Son of Heaven would not be able to do it, and sooner or later he would die. Kuai Yue was completely desperate, and without waiting for Liu Biao to reply, he led the army south to Wuguan.

In early September, Zhu Ling led his army to Guanzhong. In mid-September, the brothers Gao Gan and Gao Rou arrived in Zhengcheng with soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shao gathered another 50,000 troops and launched an attack on Huayin City. October of the second year of Xingping of the Great Han Kingdom (195 AD).

At the beginning of October, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Yuan Wei, Chun Yuqiong, Tao Sheng, and Han Hao gathered 30,000 troops to conquer Hangu Pass.

Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi, Yushi, and Huaxiong led the Northern Xinjiang Army to retreat to Xin'an and Mianchi to stubbornly resist the front. At the beginning of October, Yuan Shao conquered Huayin, and the army stormed Tongguan, Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, and Huangfu Hong defended the pass, and the battle was very fierce.

On October, Hedong, Kabanjin. The Son of Heaven sent the camp urgently, begging for the support of Xu Rong, the general of Zhengxi, and Lu Yi, the general of Zuo.

Xu Rong and Koji Yi were anxious to write to Handan, it was a matter of the safety of the Son of Heaven and the survival of Guanxi, and the two did not dare to make decisions without permission, but the general Li Hong did not give an answer for a long time.

Yang Hua, the captain of the building boat, rushed into the big tent out of breath,

"Tell the two lords that the ship is ready, and the soldiers can board the ship."

"What boat? What are you urging? Koji Yi's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly,

"The general has not had any orders so far, waiting." Xu Rong sat behind the desk and waved at him, motioning for him to sit down and rest for a while.

"What's going on in the direction of Fenglingdu?"

"There are a lot of people on the other side, and if there is a boat, there must be people fleeing to the east of the river." Yang Hua looked at Lu Yi in fear and cautiously sat down beside Xu Rong.

"Did you warn the coastal boat owners? If anyone dares to release the boat to the other side without permission, I will kill you first. Lu Yi pointed at Yang Hua and shouted.

Yang Hua was startled, hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't worry, my lord, there have always been warships patrolling the river, and no one can escape, but ......"

"But what?" Koji Yi asked with a frown.

"But there must be a boat on the other side, if the Son of Heaven or the minister of the DPRK and China come by boat, we will ......" Koji Yi was startled and turned his head to look at Xu Rong.

Xu Rong shook his hand,

"It's very unlikely at the moment. If Tongguan is conquered by Yuan Shao, and the rebels fight separately, the Son of Heaven will be in danger. Then he pulled Yang Hua to sit down and asked with a smile,

"Have you done what I entrusted you?"

"That's it." Yang Hua hurriedly took out a silk silk from his arms and handed it to Xu Rong,

"When my people sent ordnance to Tongguan, they met Lord Huangfu."

"Not bad, not bad......" Xu Rong happily patted Yang Hua's shoulder,

"If you can save the Son of Heaven, you have made a great contribution."

"Do you still believe in Huangfu Jianshou? This kid has deceived us so hard, if it weren't for him, why would the Son of Heaven be in a desperate situation? Koji said angrily.

"Yuntian ......" Xu Rong's face sank,

"Don't worry, believe that we can save the Son of Heaven." Lu Bufei rushed into the big tent,

"The general has come to order? Shall we go now? Xu Rong smiled and handed the silk silk in his hand to Lu Bu,

"Feng Xian, you first read the letter of Lord Huangfu, and then listen to me."

"Lord Huangfu has changed his mind." Lu Bu hurriedly read the letter and said in surprise,

He promised to save the Son of Heaven first. This Jianshou brother finally figured it out. ”

"He didn't figure it out, he was beaten by Yuan Shao to understand. This bastard, when he gets to Hedong, I'll settle accounts with him. Koji scolded hatefully.

Xu Rong spread out the map, pointed to Kansai and said: "The reason why the general has not replied for a long time is probably not the matter of the Son of Heaven, but the matter of Kansai. Judging from the current situation, although we can hold Kansai for the time being, Yuan Shao will not give up, he will do everything possible to attack continuously and non-stop, so the general will probably give up Kansai. ”

"Give up Kansai?" Lu Bu said in surprise,

"If you give up Kansai, Hedong will become a battlefield, which is very unfavorable to northern Xinjiang."

"But if we want to hold Kansai, the price we pay will be even greater." Koji Yi sighed helplessly,

"Yuan Shao is flanked back and forth, Kansai is a slaughterhouse, a bottomless pit, and it will drag us down."

"There must be many people in the Hebei provinces who are unwilling to give up Guanxi, so the general has only one way to make up for the loss of giving up Guanxi." Xu Rong said slowly,

"That is to save the Son of Heaven, save the Son of Heaven at any cost."

"So, your lord wants to send me to Kansai to protect the Son of Heaven first?" Lu Bu asked.

"Yes, Zhang Ji and the others are definitely unwilling to give up the Son of Heaven, so if we want to rescue the Son of Heaven, we can only kill it before the Tongguan Pass is broken." Xu Rong said,

"After we killed the Peach Forest Fortress, the situation was very chaotic, whether the Son of Heaven can save it depends on you and Jianshou."

"During the last Chang'an War, you and the Son of Heaven agreed that the time for defection was dusk, but because Yuan Shao withdrew his troops in advance, the situation of the battle changed immediately, and you just had no chance to defect if you wanted to. Therefore, the Son of Heaven will not doubt you, and he will trust you as he did in the past. Koji explained,

"You and Wen Yuan took a hundred soldiers to protect the Son of Heaven. Whether the Son of Heaven can be saved, and whether the Han can prosper, depends on the general's sword. Lu Bu's blood was full of blood, and he roared loudly: "As long as Lu Bu is here, he should ensure that the Son of Heaven is safe and sound." "Jump to
