Chapter 14: The Burning of the City
Tiger Pass, the world's first Xiongguan, the Xiliang elite soldiers could not hold it, the Kwantung coalition army could not attack, and the forces of both sides were stalemate in this pass, and no one could help anyone.
After the princes of the Kanto region deliberated, they decided to divide their troops to the left and right.
All the way, the party was too shou Zhang Yang, united with Hanoi too shou Wang Kuang, Shanyang too shou Yuan Yi, and Dongjun too shou Qiao Mao, a total of four princes, went north, bypassed Shangdang, went straight into Hanoi, and attacked Kyoto Luoyang.
All the way, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian was the mainstay, combined with Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Jibei Xiang Baoxin, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, and the four-way army, nearly 100,000, continued to attack Bishui Pass.
The remaining princes of the Ten Routes, led by the alliance leader Yuan Shaobo's navy and Gongsun Zhan's Beiping army, continued to attack the Tiger Pass, attracting the main force of the Xiliang Army to cover the left and right flanks.
……
Three days later, led by the Jiangdong Army, the Fourth Route Army had gathered in a place less than five miles outside the Bishui Pass and camped in Anzhai.
Returning to the Bishui Pass again, the tiger Sun Jian couldn't help but feel a little, this time he was calm, not in a hurry, but waiting for the news in the pass.
For five consecutive days, Sun Jian's Jiangdong army did not attack Bishui Pass, and under the pass, they showed off their might and trained back and forth, but they never had the intention of tackling key problems.
Sun Jian obeyed Sun Quan's will and calmed down, but some people began to lose their breath, and at noon one day, Bao Xin, Kong Rong, and Ma Teng came together, broke into the big tent of Jiangdong Yingzhai, looked bad, and questioned Sun Jian.
"Wuchenghou, what do you mean, why don't you attack?" Bao Xin had already been furious when he broke his brother at Bishui Pass, and if it weren't for the Jiangdong army not moving, his soldiers and horses would have already begun to attack the city.
"Wucheng Hou, now the soldiers and horses on the Bishui Pass are all in the Tiger Prison, and the pass must be empty, why should we wait and wait?" Ma Teng and Kong Rong were also a little puzzled.
"A certain family naturally has a certain calculation!"
Sun Jian sat in front of the desk, raised his eyebrows, stared at the three of them, and replied strongly, "Since the alliance leader handed over the full strength of the South Road army to a certain family, there is naturally a certain family in charge, so you can go back first, and within five days, a certain family can take this pass!" ”
Sun Jian's words, the three of them were a little helpless, so they had to go out in defeat and return to their camps.
"Zhongmou, do you really think that the Xiliang guards in Bishui Pass will surrender to me?" After watching the three of them leave, Sun Jian breathed a long sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly found Sun Quan and Cheng Pu.
Sun Jian is a military general, defeated by Bishui Pass, naturally wants to regain the honor of the Jiangdong Army from Bishui Pass, if it were not for Sun Quan's words, how could he suppress the fighting spirit in his heart and not tackle the problem for a long time.
Sun Quan once said that the guards in the Guannai would surrender themselves within ten days.
"Father, don't panic!"
Sun Quan smiled slightly, and said: "I believe in Quan's words, Quan has thought about it in the past two days, and there should not be much time, and within five days, the lord of this pass will surrender by himself." ”
"Why is the second son so sure?"
Cheng Pu asked with a calm expression.
"This will now be nothing more than an abandoned son, if you surrender, how can you find a way out." Sun Quan said with a sneer, when he came to this era, he was also a little familiar with the way of speaking in this era.
"Abandoned son?" Sun Jian Chengpu's expression was suddenly shocked.
"Dong Zhuo has already transferred elite soldiers and strong generals, returned to Luoyang, the next step is to give up Luoyang, take the emperor west to Chang'an, and the elite soldiers have been transferred to Bishui Guan, so the rest have become outcasts." Sun Quan's analysis of the Tao.
"I see!"
Sun Jian Chengpu suddenly realized.
……
Three days later, as expected, without Sun Quan's words, after receiving the news that Dong Zhuo had taken the Son of Heaven hostage to the west, Wang Fang, the guard of Bishui Pass, directly led 8,000 troops without thinking about it, sacrificed Bishui Pass, and surrendered to Sun Jian.
"Hahaha...... Zhongmou, as you expected! ”
Without spending a single soldier, 8,000 soldiers and horses were collected, including 1,000 cavalry, which was enough to make up for the vitality of the Jiangdong Army's last defeat, Sun Jian was overjoyed and laughed with satisfaction.
"The second prince is really talented and intelligent, and his strategy is unparalleled, and the enemy is thousands of miles away, this king has really surrendered to my Jiangdong army."
Several fierce generals of the Jiangdong Army and the young Sun Ce suddenly looked at Sun Quan's little face with admiration and convincing.
"The guard will be called Wang Fang? This is the king's side, which way is sacred? Sun Quan was confused at this time, he just remembered this period of history, so he was sure that Shou would surrender, but in his memory, wasn't the main general of Bishui Pass Zhao Cen?
"Damn! I remembered that Zhao Cen was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear, and now he has changed this king. ”
Sun Quan immediately wiped his cold sweat, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, if Zhao Cen becomes the king, and this king's side does not fall, I will be embarrassed."
Where he has any strategy, what is the enemy, at most he remembers some history.
……
A day later, the coalition army reported that the army had broken through the Tiger Pass, and ordered Sun Jian's army to be the vanguard and attack Luoyang first. This time, Sun Jian did not have the slightest push, and readily agreed, ordered the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, united with the other three princes, and the army immediately set off and rushed to Luoyang, Kyoto.
"Father, look, what is that?"
During the march, the young Sun Ce was wearing armor, with a black horse under his crotch, and his voice suddenly shouted.
"What a big fire, is that the sun?"
"Burning the sun?"
"Dong thief is rampant, dare to be like this!"
The army was marching on the official road, everyone suddenly raised their heads, looked from afar, and suddenly their expressions became gloomy, especially the princes, who were even more pale, they looked at the past, only saw the direction of the sun, like the sunset covering the sky, the fire rose to the sky, and the smoke covered the ground.
Hundreds of miles away, you can see the realm of Rusi, you can imagine how bad this fire in Luoyang burns, this is the meaning of burning Luoyang.
"Dong Zhuo still burned Luoyang!" Sun Quan is young, and he is not good at riding horses, so he has been letting Zhu Zhi ride a horse with him, he looked up, his eyes were a little regretful, a touch of essence crossed, and said in a low voice: "Dong Zhuo can't think of such a murderous method, this should be Li Ru's handwriting, in order to disintegrate my Kwantung Alliance Army!" ”
This fire burned not only Luoyang City, but also the entire Kwantung Alliance Army.
Although he, Sun Quan, knew this fact a long time ago, but such a fire made him see it with his own eyes, and it was still extremely shocking Li Ru's ruthlessness also made him shudder.
"Li Ru, Li Ru, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise...... Hum! Sun Quan's eyes lit up coldly, and he snorted coldly.
"The army immediately abandons its baggage and moves forward quickly!"
Sun Jian's face was pale, he originally didn't believe Sun Quan's words, thinking that Dong Zhuo didn't have the courage to burn the centuries-old Kyoto of the Han Dynasty even if he was cruel.
Now looking at the raging flames rising into the sky, he had to believe that Sun Quan was right, and Dong Zhuo was already mad.
Sun Jian's army was the first of all the princes' armies to arrive in Luoyang, but when Sun Jian's army arrived in Luoyang City, it was a huge city in flames in front of everyone.
"Newspaper - Lord, there are no Dong thieves and soldiers in the city, eighty percent of the houses are burning, and the two palaces are gone."
"Report - Lord, Dong thief has taken the Son of Heaven and millions of people of Luoyang hostage and gone west!"
A few Jiangdong scouts came to report, and Sun Jian's face suddenly became frosty, and bursts of anger were constantly burning in his eyes.
"Jiangdong Erlang obeyed the order, and the army immediately entered the city to put out the fire!"
Sun Jian took a deep breath. did not pursue Dong Zhuo, commanded the army, and began to fight the fire against this Han capital.
This fire burned so vigorously that the 100,000-strong army could not extinguish its fire, and it burned for three days and three nights, turning this majestic capital into an empty ruined city, and also burning the 400-year-old Han Dynasty.
During this time, the coalition forces of the princes behind also arrived one after another.
……
The Jiangdong army was the first to enter the city, and after extinguishing the fire in the city, and finally extinguishing the embers in the palace, they stationed troops in the city and set up a military tent on the foundation of the Jianzhang Palace.
In the evening, Sun Jian, who had not slept for several days, looked a little tired, wearing a brocade cloak, like a pole, standing at the door of the tent, staring at the sky with a pair of tiger eyes, his eyes were a little low, and he said faintly: "Dong Zhuo's fire, is it burning in Luoyang or the Han Dynasty!" ”
Luoyang City, Dahan Kyoto, this is the symbol of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of years of thinking of the Han people, Luoyang is in, Dahan is in, when this symbol is gone, people's hearts will be chaotic.
His Sun Jian's heart was also in turmoil.
"Father, of course, he burned not only Luoyang, but the concerns of the entire Kwantung princes, without Luoyang, the Han Dynasty will have no orthodoxy, Qin will lose its deer, and the world will chase it together! Han lost the sun, and the heroes rose together. ”
Sun Quan came to Sun Jian's side in a gorgeous little brocade robe, and said in a deep voice.
"Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it together!"
When Sun Jian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a touch of ambition swirled in his tiger eyes: "Han lost the sun...... Together. ”
