A Weird Theater That Started In London
Chapter 309
"The emperor died, the young emperor was young, and after the chaos in the north and South palaces, the people in the court and at home were in panic. My Marquis went south to Luoyang at the invitation of Taifu yuan Luo..."
"Willing to die for the general!"
More than ten thousand soldiers echoed in unison.
After handing over the jurisdiction of Xiliang County soldiers to huangfusong, Dong Zhuo left only the flying bear army, and most of these people are Hu people and Hu Hua Han people, who are tough and loyal.
Because of this, Dong Zhuo is now full of confidence: even if Luoyang is entrenched, he doesn''t say he can suppress the emperor. It''s no problem to retreat.
Yuan min''s commitment to Dong min helped Dong Zhuo eliminate his worries——
Scholars symbolize great righteousness, especially yuan Kai, who is now a young suspect and a eunuch in politics. He was invited to Beijing to kill thieves, which is beyond reproach in etiquette and law.
"Ziqing, I''m afraid I don''t know who to turn to unless you show me the way."
Dong Zhuo slapped Duke with the palm of a Pufan and became more and more satisfied with his son-in-law.
At first, his plan was to directly lead troops to Beijing in the name of killing eunuchs after the death of the emperor.
Duke suggested that it would be better to form an alliance with Runan yuan.
First of all, the other party has a certain force in Luoyang. The two troops and horses are combined in one place, which can directly give the situation. Secondly, Yuan''s reputation is the first in the world, and there are countless scholars standing behind him.
For border general Dong Zhuo, this kind of political solidarity is far more important than the former.
"My son-in-law didn''t dare to take credit for it. It''s heaven''s favor for his father-in-law." Duke smiled and said, "Yuan Shao''s party worked hard and finally slaughtered all the temple people in the palace at great risk..."
Speaking of this, Li Ru, the chief strategist of the Xiliang army, took over: "the best thing is that he Jin and he Miao died one after another. Without their relatives and the support of the scholar group, we are going to Luoyang to reach out and pick peaches."
Snipe and clam fight, fishermen benefit.
This time, Dong Zhuo really felt that fate was in me. This trip should be smooth, as long as he took the flying bear army on his way.
When he arrived in Luoyang, he quickly incorporated the capital garrison, and finally followed the example of Yihuo, established Duke Dong as emperor, and commanded the affairs of the court in the name of his uncle.
It can be said that Tianhe is not taking the blame. Dong Zhuo once dared not imagine the situation in the court. If his brother Dong min had not seen it with his own eyes and said it himself, he would even think there was fraud.
"Father in law, hurry on your way. Listen to the Taifu. Ding, the governor of Bingzhou, was ordered by the Empress Dowager to be among the kings of diligence!"
"Ding Jianyang? It''s just an assassin. It happens to be under the jurisdiction of my state animal husbandry."
Having said that, Dong Zhuo was indeed very vigilant. He pulled out his waist sword and shouted, "the army is pulling out!"
"You must arrive in Anyi within an hour, cross the Yellow River at Shenshi and camp in Mianchi!"
"Promise!"
Ding Yuan stationed troops in Hanoi. It''s not far from here. If you let the other party arrive in the capital first, recruit all troops and horses, and then guard according to the customs, things will be in trouble.
We must set out before the wolf riding in Bingzhou and demolish the bridges and ferries along the road!
At this point, Dong Zhuo couldn''t help clamping his horse''s belly. Then, the sound of dragon singing rang through the wilderness.
On one side, Duke rode a bloody BMW and looked at his side with envy:
Lv Bu in man, red rabbit in horse.
As a horse, it can leave a strong mark in history. The hissing wind red rabbit horse really sells very well.
It was up and down, red as charcoal, without half a miscellaneous hair; From beginning to end, it grows ten feet; From hoof to neck, eight feet high; Shouting and roaring, like flying into the sea.
"If you can abduct Lv Bu, what can''t be done in the world?"
With a whisper, Duke couldn''t help holding the reins and watching, his mood was particularly excited: trapped in Xiliang for a year, he could finally meet the princes in the world.
However, Dong Zhuo and his party did not know that their marching route was as expected by Xun Yu.
Thousands of miles away, Hangu pass.
Two peaks towering beside the river, a battlefield in Hangu since ancient times.
It is close to the plateau in the west, juejian River in the East, Qinling Mountains in the South and the Yellow River in the north. If someone wants to reach Luoyang from the north as fast as possible, Hangu pass is an impassable barrier.
Millions of corpses, bleeding and floating.
This is what Jia Yi, a great Confucian of the former Han Dynasty, said. It describes the Warring States period. With the power of one country, Qiang Qin blocked the attack of the five states of Shandong and greatly damaged its vitality.
Of course, the number of large and small wars that have taken place in Hangu pass is too many to be separated from the land.
At this moment, he stood alone at the head of the city and looked north. He didn''t know what he was thinking.
In Hangu pass in early spring, the feeling of cool invasion is still very obvious.
Under the battlements, more than a thousand guards were around the campfire to bake the fire. Firewood crackled. Occasionally, a small team of soldiers marched past.
As it is a military forbidden area, it is very quiet around, as quiet as at night in the countryside.
Therefore, Lu Li couldn''t help sighing. This calm won''t last long. At the latest in the evening, Dong Zhuo''s Xiliang army will cross the Yellow River to guanxia.
As for Ding Gong.
Lu Li had a strong premonition that he could not count on it, so he asked Xun Yu to make a divination:
No.
No bandits are bad for a gentleman''s integrity. They come from big to small.
If heaven and earth do not intersect, no, a gentleman should overcome difficulties with thrift and virtue, and should not be honored with wealth.
"The gap between heaven and earth can''t communicate, and everything can''t flow smoothly. Is this the divinatory image of divination? When a gentleman views this divinatory image, he should think about living in seclusion and not being an official when the country''s political affairs are not blocked, advocate frugality to avoid disasters, and don''t be proud of wealth."
This is Xun Yu''s explanation of divinatory symbols. It is obvious that it is a sign of great evil.
Unfortunately, neither Lu Li nor Zhao Yun is a coward. How can they hide?
Without any hesitation, he went directly to the palace to show his strength. After receiving the Yi decree from the empress dowager, he immediately went to Hangu pass to seize power.
First, he beheaded the dissident guard Du Wei and deterred 800 guards. Then he spread the Yi decree throughout the army. Xu Yi made great profits and applied for great righteousness, and finally stabilized his morale.
Then Zhao Yun led another secret edict to Mianchi and Xin''an counties——
For fear of revealing the news, Yuan''s party was on guard. Only Lu Zhi and the Empress Dowager knew about going out of Beijing, not to mention the soldiers.
Therefore, Zhao Yun needs to go to these two counties to recruit soldiers. In order to ensure that there are no accidents and too much time delay, he specially asked min Gong to write an official document——
This gentleman is a county in central Henan Province.
His official documents, together with the Empress Dowager''s order, can easily recruit soldiers and obtain military grain.
"War is imminent, always."
Somehow, Lu Li thought of the scene when he suppressed Baibo yellow scarf last year.
Just then, Xun Yu boarded the Guan building and heard Lu Li''s self-talk. He smiled and said, "I''d like to hear it in detail."
"This time last year..."
When Lu Li narrated the past, Zhao Yun had taken out grain and ordnance from the county government and loaded the car. The local guards also accepted the order to leave the barracks and gather at the gate.
In this way, 600 well-trained County soldiers escorted grain trucks and ordnance trucks to Hangu pass.
Mianchi is only 15 li away from Hangu pass. People push horses and pull them. It took about two minutes to enter the pass smoothly.
With the advance of the strange army, the originally comfortable guards changed their colors one after another, put down the dice and stopped cheering.
"Does anyone really want to break through?"
"Nonsense, the Empress Dowager''s orders have come down. How can there be false!"
Seeing this, Lu Li shook his head and walked slowly down the building. He didn''t speak. Xun Yu, who followed a little later, was also silent.
Without any intense expression, Lu Li felt his state of mind was very stable: in case of major events, he must calm down first.
After a year of training, he is no longer Wu xiaamun. For example, he must be worried about war, but he doesn''t pay much attention to it——
How strong is the Xiliang army?
It''s all here. There''s gotta be a fight.
Moreover, the war is not all about disadvantage.
Timing, geography and people.
Let''s not talk about the first one for the time being. Among the latter two, those who occupy Hangu pass in advance undoubtedly have a favorable geographical location, while the harmony between people is five to five.
The garrison of the Han Dynasty is waiting for work with ease, and the flying bear army is as powerful as a rainbow.
In this way, the disadvantage is not obvious, but Lu Li still has another worry in his heart. He has not dared to think: will Lv Bu, the flying General of the three heroes of Bingzhou, decide to invest under Dong Zhuo because of historical inertia.
After all, we have been in touch for a long time. Maybe something unknown has happened.
"Wu Meng is engaged in publicity and will arrive in the evening at the latest."
"Xia Hou brothers and Cao brothers are far away in Qiao County, peiguo. They will probably come to meet in the morning."
At this moment, Lu Li is silently thinking about how much support he can give.
First of all, there must be no soldiers to supplement. Jian Shuo and Lu Zhi need to ensure that Luoyang will not have trouble. Secondly, Bingzhou wolf riding this trip will not be so smooth. Dong Zhuo will certainly find a way to make trouble.
At present, the worst situation is to integrate more than 1000 guards to block the flying bear army all night with himself, Zhao Yun and the upcoming publicity.
At that time, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun and other generals should have arrived, and so should Ding Gong. As long as the internal and external attack is formed, all problems will be solved.
"Lieutenant, there are still 200 rolling logs and 600000 kg boulders in the arsenal. Can you ask someone to go out of the city to collect some gold juice?"
As soon as he got off the building and came to the battlements, a school captain in fish scale armor knelt in front of Lu Li.
He was in his thirties, tall and tall, with high cheekbones on his cheeks, giving people a sense of meanness. However, the most eye-catching thing is the beautiful beard. It is repaired very neatly. It is shiny in the sun. At a glance, you can see that you have made great efforts to maintain it at ordinary times.
"Zhang Jing?" Lu Li wondered.
Hearing the speech, the captain surnamed Zhang quickly smiled and said, "Sir, you have a good memory."
"The gold juice... If you don''t collect it, I''m afraid it''s too late." Lu Li ordered, "well, take someone to push the crossbow up the city building and ask the craftsman to check the catapult."
"Promise!"
Seeing the figure of this man leaving, Xun Yu shook his head. There was no need to worry that this guy would betray the festival at the critical moment. He was a standard eunuch——
Nephew Zhang rang.
As the saying goes, a man who has the virtue of chicken and dog ascends to heaven. As the first of the ten regular attendants, Zhang rang is developed. How can he forget his people? You know, for eunuchs who have no fertility, family affection is particularly rare. Therefore, as long as the people are not paralyzed, sick and ambitious, Zhang rang has arranged official positions for them all.
Zhang Jing is a naughty scoundrel. He has no ability. He has directly become a 500 stone customs guard Deputy lieutenant. Usually, he only needs to do one thing well: find trouble with the former customs guard captain and make him unhappy.
However, as Lu Li was instructed to take over the post of Duwei and brought Zhang rang''s handwritten letter, Zhang Jing directly changed himself: appeasing soldiers and counting arsenals
After all, both prosperity and loss.
"Brother, all the 600 well-trained County soldiers came." Zhao Yun said with an arch hand.
"Are there cavalry?"
"Yes."
Perhaps because of his talent, Zhao Yun is best at leading cavalry, while there are only 100 cavalry soldiers in Hangu pass. The number is too small to play a big role. Therefore, Lu Li will care whether there are cavalry among the recruited soldiers.
"Mianchi and Xin''an counties have official horses, and they have raised 300 riding soldiers and 300 walking soldiers."
"How about the quality?"
Zhao Yun thought a little and said, "it''s OK."
Listening to him, Lu Li immediately understood the subtext: it can be used, but don''t hold too much hope.
"Report to general, a martial artist who claims to be publicity asks for an audience."
"Please!"
Without much to say, Lu Li went down side by side with Zhao Yun to meet him.
This man was also born in the Binzhou army. Later, because the emperor recruited heroes from all over the world to serve as Jian Shuo''s general, he was sent to Luoyang by Ding Gong, and Jian Shuo asked him to temporarily take charge of the army. Fortunately, Zhang Liao gave Lu Li an extra card before leaving.
"General Lu, General Zhao, I''ve heard a lot about you. I''ll see you today." Zhang Yang hugged boxing.
Lu Li quickly returned the salute and said with a smile: "when the general''s name was shocked in Binzhou, Meng Ming was only a piece of cloth. When you can''t praise him, please!"
"Please!" Zhao Yun said politely.
Before entering Beijing, Zhang Yang was once engaged in Bingzhou Wumeng. He can take Wumeng as the official name. Naturally, he is not a yong general. In addition, Ding Gong and Zhang Liao talk about it from time to time, so he will be entrusted with an important task.
When Lu Li looked at it carefully, he found that Zhang Yang really looked the same as his name. His facial features were very personalized and quite publicized. He looked better than ordinary martial artists. He was dark with red luster, and his eyes were particularly bright.
In this way, the four boarded the city tower together, chatting about how to defend the city and overlooking the north.
In the evening, the earth shook.
More than a thousand heavy cavalry dressed neatly and marching in line appeared in sight.
The guards of Hangu pass, who had been prepared for a long time, all wore armour, pressed their swords and silently stared at the front. In their view, the cavalry in front of them was very terrible. When they walked, a strong air came to their faces.
"At the order of marquis Dong and at the invitation of grand Fu Yuan Kai, we are king Qin in Beijing!"
"Open the gate quickly!"
The young general with the team rode alone to the pass. Seeing that he had shouted several times without response, he immediately became vigilant.
Unfortunately, it''s still late.
Zhang Yang bent his bow and arrow, narrowed his eyes and said, "I''m waiting!"
An arrow left the string without any suspense, and the young general fell to the ground.
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
The silent Hangu pass suddenly erupted into bursts of shouts and publicized the small test ox knife, which greatly boosted the morale.
When the news came back to the military accounts of Xiliang, the civil and military forces were silent for a long time.
Dong Zhuo broke out and scolded: "eunuchs are really not good things, but unexpectedly, scholars full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are worse than them. What''s the purpose of going back?"
After scolding for a while, Dong zhuochang breathed a sigh, looked back, and fixed his eyes on the faces of his three sons-in-law.
