193 Defense

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

In the quiet of the night, the lights in the Hehuan Hall were bright, and outside the gate of the hall was a group of tiger armor soldiers wearing iron armor and holding halberds, they stood straight at the door of the main hall, looking so mighty.

"Ahh

A heart-rending woman's scream came from the Hehuan Hall.

When the tiger warriors outside the temple gate heard these voices, everyone's hearts felt extremely frightened, for a long time, they had been guarding the entrance of this main hall, watching many women being carried in, but in the morning, they were indeed carrying out corpses. Rao is that they are used to this kind of scene, and they can't help but feel inexplicable fear in their hearts for the people they want to protect.

After a long time, there was no movement in the Hehuan Hall, and everything returned to the tranquility of the night.

At this time, a person wearing an official uniform walked in from outside the hall in a panic, his face was slightly dark, his face was gloomy, and his mustache was slightly upturned. As soon as he entered the main hall, he walked straight to the emperor's throne where the man was sitting, only bowed slightly, and immediately shouted: "Taishi, there is news in the eastern part of the country, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao gathered many princes, and the total strength was as many as 400,000 in Chenliu, and they marched in three ways, and the state assassinated Shi Dingyuan, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and Shangdang Taishou Zhangyang, and the three routes of soldiers and horses were combined into one, forming the Northern Route Army, and the troops were in the Yewang; Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Kong Yi, the assassin of Yuzhou, formed the Southern Route Army, and the troops were stationed in Yingchuan; The rest of the roads are unified to form the middle route army, starting from Chenliu, at this time there is no movement in the north and south two roads for the time being, only the middle route army to Changsha Taishou Sun Jian as the vanguard, has left Chenliu, is coming to Xingyang. ”

The man sitting on the emperor's throne was none other than Dong Zhuo, who was already in control of the entire situation in Luoyang. As soon as Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he immediately pulled the kidnapped Huangfu Song down from his high position, tore off the human skin he was wearing, and in order to make the Qianghu he had gathered follow him with all his heart, he drove the soldiers to rape and plunder around Luoyang, and often set up wine ponds and meat forests in the imperial palace, often entertained hundreds of military officials of the DPRK and Chinese, and forced hundreds of officials to drink wine soaked in human heads at banquets.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's body was slightly fatter than before, he stroked his big belly with both hands, glanced at the mustache beside him, and said slowly: "What Kanto heroes?" Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Ding Yuan and other generations are all characters who do not enter the stream, I don't put them in my eyes at all, although there are many soldiers and horses, but they are all rabble, as long as I ride out of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, let him have a million people, it is not to be afraid. But...... Sun Jian is a character, how many soldiers and horses did he bring? ”

That eight-character Hu Nai is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, surnamed Li Mingru, Dong Zhuo was able to enter Beijing smoothly, and he contributed a lot of advice behind the scenes. Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, he immediately said, "It's just five thousand people." ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Sun Jian is a fierce tiger, I witnessed his bravery in the battle of Jicheng back then, if I can subdue him and use him for my use, I will definitely be able to give those rabble in the Kanto region a dismount, do you have any way?" ”

Li Ru thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "I heard that Sun Jian has a word, named Sun Ce, and now he is only eleven or twelve years old, but he has infinite strength, isn't there another ** under the knees of the Taishi?" If he can form a family with Sun Jian, and then promise to be a high-ranking official and pay homage to the prime minister, then won't Sun Jian become the right and left hand of the Taishi? ”

"Well, this matter is very important, where has Sun Jian gone now?"

"It's less than fifty miles away from Bishui Pass."

"Li Ru, you go to Sun Jian's barracks in person, and you must get this done."

"No!"

"In addition, can there be a high-flying figure in the Kwantung Coalition Army?"

Li Ru hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Taishi, Gao Fei is now a member of the coalition army and is in the camp of the coalition army. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, an incomparably fierce light appeared in his eyes, slapped the dragon chair fiercely, and yelled at Li Ru: "You quickly write a letter to Gao Fei in my name, and ask him to come with all the soldiers and horses to take refuge, otherwise, he and none of his clans of the Feiyu Army will want to live!" Compared with Sun Jian, Gao Fei is both wise and brave, and he is the person I am really worried about, if he appears in the camp of the coalition army, it will be very unfavorable to our army. Gao Fei was born in Liangzhou, and he knew Qianghu's combat methods very well, and if he was there, it would be a great threat to our army. ”

Li Ru let out a "promise", bowed down and asked, "What else does the Taishi command?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Let Zhang Ji and Fan Chou lead 50,000 troops to garrison Chenggao, in case the soldiers and horses of the Northern Route Army are merged, you take Li Dao, Guo Yan and 50,000 soldiers and horses to arrive at Bishui Pass first, and reinforce Xu Rong and Hu Zhen." When Ma Teng and Han Sui arrive from Chang'an with soldiers and horses, I will personally lead the army to reinforce you. ”

Li Ru said: "Taishi, don't you send troops to support Xuanyuan Pass to resist the Southern Route Army?" ”

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Liu Biao has no ambitions, a thief who guards himself, and it is enough for Niu Fu to be stationed at Xuanyuan Pass, and he will definitely not advance his troops." Okay, you go quickly, solve the matter of Sun Jian and Gao Fei first, and save the other things for later. ”

Li Ru turned around and left, just took two steps, and turned back and said: "Taishi, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Route Army are all brave men, and Taishi should be more careful." ”

"Ding Jianyang's generation is not worried, even though his soldiers and horses are very brave, but Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are not vegetarians, with him here, I can sit back and relax."

Li Ru wanted to say something, but as soon as he saw Dong Zhuo's face showing displeasure, he immediately "promised", turned around and walked out of the hall quickly, he only felt that there were two cold eyes on his back staring at him very uncomfortable. When he walked out of the Hehuan Palace, he let go of his heart, let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly in his heart: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, following someone like Dong Zhuo, I must be careful in everything." I hope that this time I can dismantle the Kwantung Coalition Army, and then I will soon be able to become a founding hero. Dong Zhuo has no son, a hundred years later, isn't this throne mine? ”

With his own wishful thinking, Li Ru went out of the palace, ordered the soldiers and horses, and took Li Dao, Guo Yan and 50,000 horse infantry troops to quickly go to Bishui Pass.

At the same time, Chen Liu, more than 200,000 coalition troops had already set off one after another the day after Sun Jian left, and now there were less than 100,000 left in Chen Liucheng.

Chen stayed in the mansion, and Yuan Shao, Liu Yu, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Han Fu, Gao Fei, and Zhang Miao gathered together.

Cao Cao took the lead and said: "Although our army is now divided into three routes, but the South Route Army and the North Route Army are relatively weak, Dong Thief is powerful, Xiliang Soldier is even more brave in the world, our army has more infantry, Dong Thief has more cavalry, although the coalition army has 400,000 people, but whether it can defeat Dong Thief in one fell swoop, it is also unknown." Although Liu Biao and Kong Yi were stationed in Yingchuan, there were Niu Fu guarding Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Yique Pass in front of them, and there was still Yishui barrier, so it was very difficult to break through the three passes and one water to enter Luoyang. Therefore, please Yuan Highway lead his troops to Nanyang, attack Wuguan, and after breaking through Wuguan, you can enter Sanfu in one fell swoop, disturb the rear of Dong thief, and then guard Tongguan and cut off the road for Dong thief to return to the west. I don't know what the highway thinks? ”

Yuan Shu stroked his mustache, his fair face showed a treacherous smile, and asked: "Meng De's arrangement is really good, but may I ask Meng De, I went to Sanfu to fight, and I only have 20,000 soldiers and horses under my command. Aren't you putting me in danger? If you want to go, I won't go! ”
