At this moment, Xu Rong's heart was full of anger.

Originally, after Xu Rong defected to Dong Zhuo, he always wanted to win his recognition through his performance on the battlefield. However, he found that his idea was wrong, even if he fought the battlefield and achieved the record of defeating the Kwantung Coalition Army, he was still not recognized, and was even thrown into the most dangerous southern front battlefield at once.

Therefore, Xu Rong woke up, because he was not from Xiliang, and it was impossible for him to be recognized by Dong Zhuo in his life.

And these people who are with him are in much the same situation as him. Song Xian was a native of Bingzhou, who was originally Ding Yuan's subordinate, and later transferred to his command. And although Zhou Bi is from Xiliang, because of the Yuan family, he is no longer trusted by Dong Zhuo.

Xu Rong looked at Song Xian, Zhou Yu and the generals standing around, waved his hand and said, "You take a team of men and horses to loot in the direction of Luoyang, and the momentum should be bigger." ”

"General, Sun Jian has already killed ......," Zhang Cheng, the commander of Yique, said in a panic, "The general is not guarding the pass?" ”

Xu Rong glanced contemptuously at the slowly approaching enemy army and sneered: "If Sun Jian dares to use 10,000 people to attack the pass where my 8,000 people are stationed, then he is an idiot and he is killing himself." ”

"Beat the drums, use some strength, and eat fresh vegetables at night."

………………

Sun Jian was stationed on the hill, overlooking the majestic Yique Pass, feeling a little desolate and helpless.

In the face of such a dangerous pass, his 10,000-strong army had no possibility of flying over at all.

You can't beat it, and Sun Jian doesn't want to fight anymore.

was pitted by Yuan Shu once in the Tiger Prison Pass before, although the lost troops were replenished later, but after coming to the southern battlefield, because of the request of his teacher Zhu Jun, he attacked Yangren, Guangcheng and other passes and cities in the past period of time. The troops were greatly damaged, and there were only more than 10,000 soldiers left who could go into battle.

Sun Jian asked, "Where has Yuan Highway's army arrived?" ”

"It's the Yangren." Zhu Zhi replied, "Ji Ling, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo each led two thousand men and horses to follow us, but the speed was very slow. ”

Sun Jian frowned and asked in surprise, "What about himself?" Where is Yuan Highway himself? ”

Sun Jian already felt a little bad. Yuan Shu can pit himself once, and I'm afraid he will pit himself a second time.

"He's back to Wancheng." Zhu Zhi said angrily, "Yuan Highway is really a bit ...... Taifu Yuan Kui, his eldest brother Yuan Ji, and dozens of members of his Yuan family were all killed by Dong Zhuo, he was not in a hurry to take revenge, but he was anxious to inherit the head of the family. I really don't understand, who does he wear mourning clothes to show every day? ”

Sun Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't complain about him, he can't help it." Yuan Shao was already famous all over the world. This time, he not only led the army to discuss Dong, but also undertook the world. As the leader of the alliance of princes, his prestige has reached the extreme. Although Yuan Shao is a concubine, he has been succeeded to Yuan Feng's brother Yuan Chengzi, who is considered the eldest grandson of Changmen. It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with inheriting the head of the family. Therefore, at this time, Yuan Highway must strive to get the support of the Yuan Valve clan and the Yuan Valve forces in various places no matter what, otherwise it will be difficult for him to sit in the position of the head of the family. If he is not the head of the Yuan valve's family. Even if he is the first to enter Luoyang, his credit will be attributed to Yuan Shao. The head of the house is the head of the house. No matter how capable the other brothers are, they can't compare with the head of the family.

Zhu Zhi sighed: "The power of the Yuan valve is amazing. At this time, if there is no family master, it is indeed very harmful to Dong Daye, but I think this family master. No matter how it turns, Yuan Shu can't take his turn. His reputation is so bad that it can't be compared with Yuan Shao at all. ”

Sun Jian said worriedly: "The problem is here. If Yuan Shu could not inherit the head of the family, their brothers would make trouble with each other. Then they will also be divided within the Yuan valve, and the matter of courting Dong will be very dangerous, and it is very likely to give up halfway. ”

Zhu Zhi smiled. As if he remembered something, he whispered to Sun Jian: "I heard that Yuan Shu invited many people to Wancheng this time to discuss the inheritance of the family head, and I hope he can get his wish." It's just that as soon as Yuan Shu left, the matter of attacking Luoyang ......"

"You immediately send a message to Ji Ling and ask him to lead the army to Dagu Pass as quickly as possible. As long as our three men and horses launch an attack on the three passes of Yique, Dagu, and Yuyuan at the same time, Luoyang Wuqiuyi's army will definitely rush to support. Sun Jian waved the horsewhip in his hand, arrogant, "In this way, Luoyang can go down." ”

………………

On April, Henan Yin, Daguguan.

Daguguan is located in the valley between Songshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain, fifty miles away from Luoyang. This valley is thirty miles long, the valley ravines are vertical and horizontal, the stream is murmuring, the peaks are cut up, the shrubs are thick, and the east and west sides of the pass have the dangerous terrain such as Niuxin Mountain, Niuzui Mountain, Laoyangpo, Crooked Mouth Mountain, Dafeng Mountain. This pass is the first pass in the south direction of Luoyang, and it is an important gateway to defend Kyoto.

After Ji Ling led the army to the valley between Songshan and Longmen Mountain, he stopped.

"The terrain here is complex, and it is very easy to get ambushed. As long as the Xiliang army ambushes troops on the mountains on the east and west, we will be severely defeated. Chen Lan pointed to the deep valley and said with a weak heart, "This has always been the main battlefield for attacking Kanto, and there are many losers in the middle of the ambush. In my opinion, we should garrison outside the valley, so it's safer. ”

Ji Ling was in his thirties, with a sturdy physique, and his tall body looked very powerful against the background of black armor. He is a native of Runan, Yuan Feng's protégé, once under the Taiwei Mansion, and was later recommended by Yuan Feng to Yuzhou Liang State as the captain. He has always had a good relationship with Yuan Shu, this time Yuan Shu raised troops to fight Dong, and when he recruited troops in Yuzhou and other places, he brought 3,000 people to help.

Ji Ling hesitated for a long time.

The scouts who entered the valley to probe the military reported that everything was normal in the valley.

Before Yuan Shu left, he repeatedly told himself to obey Sun Jian's dispatch, but Sun Jian gave him very incomprehensible orders, did he have to obey them?

Sun Jian ordered himself to approach Dagu Pass quickly and quickly attacked. This order is very funny, Sun Jian let himself lead 6,000 men and horses to attack Dagu Pass, isn't he bent on burying his own army?

After Zhang Zhi's death, Yuan Shu temporarily took Nanyang County and received 20,000 county soldiers from Nanyang, plus the army he had pulled up before, and the size of the army immediately expanded to 100,000. Even if he later sent 10,000 horses to him in order to compensate Sun Jian, there were still 90,000 troops.

But casually and meaninglessly burying 6,000 men and horses under the Otani Pass, who would want to? I am unwilling, and Yuan Shu is even more unwilling.

Sun Jian swore in the letter that he would definitely be able to take Luoyang this time, but Ji Ling just couldn't understand, why did he take Luoyang? Even if Zhu Jun picks him up in Luoyang, there are still Dong Zhuo's 70,000 troops in Luoyang and Henan Yin, and Niu Fu's 30,000 troops in Hangu Pass.

As for the hussar general Li Yi and the prime minister of Hejian Gongsun Zhan, Ji Ling didn't count them at all. These two people are still garrisoning armed demonstrations in the Yingyin and Yangzhai areas, and they have no intention of coming to participate in the war.

Ji Ling was at a loss.

If you don't listen to Sun Jian, you are bound to fall out with Sun Jian. It's very bad for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is now having a headache about inheriting the head of the family, if he can lead his troops to occupy Luoyang, then there is a chance that this head of the family will be Yuan Shu's.

Since the outbreak of the Great War on the battlefield south of Gyeonggi, the situation has changed immediately, and Yuan Shu's prestige has suddenly increased several times. This time, the reason why many children of the Yuan Valve clan in Runan, Yingchuan and Nanyang were willing to go to Wancheng to discuss with Yuan Shu about inheriting the head of the family. A large part of this is because Yuan Shu not only attacked Luoyang, but also won several battles. On the contrary, Yuan Shao's side not only lost the battle, but even the alliance was about to dissolve.

Can't capture Luoyang? If Yuan Shu can't take Luoyang. Then he needs Sun Jian's support even more. The relationship between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu is extraordinary, as can be seen from the fact that he killed two court officials in a row all the way north and was pitted by Yuan Shu once in the Tiger Prison Pass, and still did not turn his face with Yuan Shu.

He believed in Yuan Shu, ignored the law, and killed two big officials, shocking the north and south of the country. Yuan Shu pitted his 10,000 troops, but he still didn't turn his face with Yuan Shu. With this relationship, Sun Jian will definitely support Yuan Shu to inherit the head of the family.

The second is Sun Jian's strength. Sun Jian's strength is very strong, which is a great help to Yuan Shu to inherit the head of the family. Among Sun Jian's 10,000 troops, some of them were fierce generals who had followed him since Wu County, and all of them participated in the Nanyang Battle in the first year of Zhongping to pacify the Yellow Turban Army. And many people followed Sun Jian to kill the Wancheng Tower; There are also some of Zhu Jun's old subordinates, after Zhu Jun no longer commanded the army, these people continued to follow Zhu Jun, and when Sun Jian went to Changsha to quell the rebellion, Zhu Jun let them go south with Sun Jian; The rest were the people of Changsha County, including the rebels who surrendered to Sun Jian. Most of Sun Jian's 10,000 men and horses were battle-hardened soldiers, and their strength far exceeded Yuan Shu's 20,000 troops. With Sun Jian's help, even if he uses a knife to slash, he can snatch the position of the head of the family.

Thinking of this, Ji Ling didn't hesitate anymore, and waved his hand resolutely: "Order, the army will enter the valley and approach the Dagu Pass." ”

………………

On April, Luoyang.

Li Ru has had a very hard time these days.

The plundering of the armies of Xu Rong, Song Xian, and Zhou Yu in the county near Luoyang had already angered Zhu Jun, and he ran to Li Ru's camp three times and twice to lose his temper. Now that some of the displaced people have returned to their hometowns and are rapidly carrying out spring ploughing under the organization of local governments, the people of Henan and Gucheng have robbed and killed Xu Rong's army for a while, and they have fled in all directions. The people didn't dare to go back to their homes and didn't dare to plant their land, so they ran to Luoyang City one after another, kneeling outside the gate of the house and beating their chests and feet, crying and crying.

Li Ru was very angry, he was not angry with Xu Rong and the others, but hated Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun asked for a lot of grain seeds from Qiao Mao and Zhang Miao. Li Ru wanted to borrow a little from Zhu Jun, but Zhu Jun refused to give it. Xu Rong and they robbed like this, and Zhu Jun was in a hurry, he saw Li Ru gloating, so he threatened Li Ru and said, if you don't solve Xu Rong and them, I will tell the hussar general what Xu Rong and they did in Luoyang and ask him to come forward. Li Ruqi is angry, do you think Li Yi can deal with Xu Rong and them, but I can't do it? (To be continued.) )
