Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 423 The battle between the courtiers of the Han family hurts, it hurts too much!

Xingyang County.

Under Liu Qing's feet, he stepped on a huge map of Luoyang's surroundings, and the place he stepped on was exactly Xingyang on the map.

There are also wooden signs on it, representing the movement of soldiers and horses from all sides.

"Report-"

"Han Sui's army has arrived in Yanshi County, and there are about ten thousand soldiers and horses."

When a new military report came, Ban Ming stepped forward and moved Han Sui's card from Gucheng to Yanshi.

Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "My lord, Yuan Shu's Ji Ling is stationed in the Gou Clan, while Zhu Jun's troops are stationed along the river in Ping County. The defense line has just been formed, but Sun Jian's army still hasn't moved. I don't know what Yuan Shu's plan is."

"Of course it's because Sun Jian fought for a long time, so he needs to take a good rest." Liu Qing said, but there was a question mark in his heart.

Sun Jian was the first to invade Luoyang. This point, the world line has come to an end, but whether he will have an adventure in Luoyang is hard to say.

What if there is?

It stands to reason that Yuan Shu should go all out when Dong Zhuo's troops are suppressing the situation, and Sun Jian, who is an important combat force, should not be indifferent.

However, there was no news of Sun Jian entering the army in several military newspapers.

"Perhaps Yuan Shu is hiding something behind, it's not sure!" Guo Jia said, he stepped up to the Hulao Pass City, and continued: "My lord, Dong Jun has arrived in Gong County, passed Fuxi Mountain, and then headed west. It is the hinterland of Luoyang, there is no more danger, and it is especially beneficial for the cavalry of the Xiliang Army!"

"Is Feng Xiao more optimistic about the Xiliang Army?" Liu Qing asked.

Guo Jia shook his head, "My lord is just joking, I'm only optimistic about my lord!"

Zhang Liao said: "Military Master, the Xiliang Army may not be invincible. In Dingtao, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army has already been defeated once, and Dong Zhuo also damaged General Yang Ding. In addition to the previous defeat of Niu Fu, I think Dong Zhuo Although the momentum is great, it is too early to draw conclusions.”

"What Wen Yuan said is true, my lord, we have to prepare for Dong Zhuo's disastrous defeat. How can this Luoyang be occupied by people from the Yuan family!" Zhao Yun also said.

Obviously, at the level of a general, whether he is on Dong Zhuo's side or not will not be said, but he is definitely against Yuan.

However, Liu Qing and Guo Jia were different. Now that Sili was right in front of him, Liu Qing might take action at any time as the situation developed, and the existence of the Xiliang Army was incompatible with this land.

Dong Zhuo might indulge them, but Liu Qing definitely wouldn't.

"What Feng Xiao, Wen Yuan and Zi Long said are all reasonable, but what this king is more worried about is still the people of Henan Yin. If war breaks out, more people will inevitably flee to the east, and Xingyang must pass through. If they really want to escape, they will be led to Hanoi, Jun Yi, colleagues who maintain food and grass must also ensure that the roads to Hanoi are smooth, especially the ferry.”

"My lord, don't worry, the new boats built in Bohai have already entered the river, and this lot of grain and grass are transported by big boats."

"Oh? I haven't seen it. It seems that I have to find time to see the new ship." Liu Qing laughed.

Guo Jia followed with a smile, then restrained himself, and gave Liu Qing a serious look.

"Feng Xiao has something to say bluntly, all of these are my confidants and beloved generals!"

"My lord, the Son of Heaven has been in Wen County for a while, what should I do?" Guo Jia asked.

After Yang Feng led Liu Xie across the river, he stationed in the nearest Wen County.

"Let's wait and see what happens. Compared with Liu Xie, what this king is most concerned about now is what Sun Jian thinks."

……

Luo Yang, on the mansion of General Hussars.

Yuan Shu was dressed in a gray brocade robe, solemn and majestic, looking expectantly at Sun Jian who was the guest.

"Wentai, I don't know when General Cheng Pu will arrive? Isn't the new city already occupied?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Returning to Duke Yuan, although Xincheng is occupied, there are still many remnants of Dong's army in the surrounding area. The front line of Xincheng is related to the Nanyang supply line, and there is no room for carelessness. Therefore, I ordered him to search carefully for the remnants."

"Look at you, the big battle is imminent, and the most urgent thing is to deal with Dong Zhuo, not some remnants of soldiers. Hurry him up and order him to come back early!" Yuan Shu said.

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Duke Yuan, it was agreed at the beginning that when Sun captured Luoyang, Duke Yuan would borrow troops from Mr. Sun to attack Changsha. Now that Duke Yuan is in Luoyang, Duke Yuan should fulfill the agreement. "

"But you see, Luoyang has not been defended yet. After Dong Zhuo is dealt with, I will definitely give you soldiers and horses, and let you go south to attack Changsha!"

Sun Jian knew in his heart that Yuan Shu was trying to delay, and he still wanted to continue to use him to fight for him.

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and planned to have a showdown.

"Yuan Gong, when I was conquering Niu Fu, although I didn't catch the emperor, I did catch something belonging to the emperor. Yuan Gong may as well guess, what is it?"

Yuan Shao's eyes were still bright, the most important thing for an official and general, of course, is the seal, and what is the emperor's thing, Yuan Shu guessed without thinking that it was the jade seal.

"Is it Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

Sun Jian smiled and said nothing.

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian's smug look, which was exactly the same as when someone introduced his son, which meant that Yuan Shu was right.

"Is it really this thing?"

Sun Jian nodded.

"Where is this thing?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, this matter is confidential and safe. No one else knows except Mr. Yuan and me." Sun Jian automatically omitted some of his confidants.

"Wentai is really too. Now that he has discovered the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, how can he keep it alone? It should be returned to the court!"

"Oh." Sun Jian said indifferently, and continued: "Then I will hand it over to Wang Situ tomorrow."

"No, no, no!" Yuan Shu stopped immediately, "I didn't mean that, Wentai, you said you wanted to capture Changsha?"

Sun Jian cupped his hands and said solemnly: "As the prefect of Changsha personally appointed by the late emperor, I personally quelled the Changsha rebellion. Now the counties are occupied by others. I always look forward to the day when Changsha will be retaken!"

"Okay! It's the ambition of a man to be faithful to his duty, and I will fully support it!" Yuan Shu changed his attitude.

Sun Jian was overjoyed.

"However..." Yuan Shu turned around again, "Capturing Changsha is not something that will happen overnight, it should be a perfect strategy, and all the military resources, food and grass need to be prepared, don't they?"

What Yuan Shu said was not without reason, so Sun Jian could only nod his head.

"Wentai, look at this. I have all the things I need to conquer Changsha. However, during my preparations, Wentai will block Dong Zhuo for me. If Dong Zhuo can't stop me, then why not?" What do you think about capturing Changsha?"

Sun Jian didn't expect Yuan Shu to go around in circles and still wanted to keep him, but what he said was indeed reasonable. If Yuan Shu's material support could be increased, then the odds of winning back Changsha would increase a little bit.

After a little weighing, Sun Jian had no choice but to agree.

"Duke Yuan, it's a deal!"

"It's natural!" Yuan Shu said, and immediately showed an expectant expression: "Where's the thing?"

……

"Report-"

"Sun Jian has entered Yanshi!"

In Gong County Mansion, Dong Zhuo received the military report, and Liu Qing was not the only one who cared about Sun Jian the most. After the battle with Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo was very afraid of Sun Jian, and the movements of Sun Jian's army became the object of his special investigation.

Now that Yuan Shu's army has assembled in Yanshi, if Dong Zhuo's army wants to take a step forward to Luoyang, he must take down this city.

"Sun Jian has appeared, tell me, how should we fight this battle?" Although Dong Zhuo told everyone, his eyes remained on Li Ru.

Li Ru replied: "My lord, Yuan Jun wants to gain a foothold in Yanshi. This is a big taboo for military strategists. My lord does not need to attack the city by force. You only need to send a large army to surround it, and then the army will go to Luoyang and come out of Gong County. , a map of Pingchuan, a mere Yanshi city, will definitely not have any impact on the Lord's army."

"Is it really as the military adviser said?" Dong Zhuo asked curiously, according to the soldiers and horses, it is a big taboo to attack after crossing the city, Dong Zhuo still has this kind of common sense in the art of war.

"Don't worry, my lord. If the soldiers and horses are small or close together, they will naturally not be able to attack from across the city. However, my lord's army is vastly superior in number, mainly composed of cavalry, and is good at attacking. Besides, Luo Yang really doesn't want to live here. Even if you attack Luoyang Yang, it can’t be regarded as a lone army going deep.”

As soon as Li Ru explained, Dong Zhuo was relieved.

"Okay! If that's the case, let's go to war!" Dong Zhuo began to order his generals.

"Hua Xiong! With you as the vanguard, go to Yanshi first to challenge. Yuan Jun's idiots will not dare to fight, let's frustrate their spirit first!"

A mighty general came out and said, "The last general obeys the order!"

"Dong Min, you lead the army of the headquarters and surround Yanshi for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Follow the order, brother!"

"Niu Fu, you and Guo Bang will lead our troops and march south to prevent the enemies of the Gou clan from sneaking up on us."

Niu Fu also responded, but his voice was obviously much weaker. It can be seen that Luo Yang's defeat dealt a great blow to Niu Fu.

"The rest of the generals, follow our Chinese army! This battle has been a success in one fell swoop. If we don't take back Luoyang and Hangu, we will starve!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Tian Jing reminded: "My lord, you should sit in the rear. How can it be the general's turn to charge forward!"

Tian Jing spoke with a high EQ, because Dong Zhuo is too heavy now, and it is okay to ride a horse for a while, but it is very dangerous to run, not to mention that he may be attacked by the enemy at any time.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "I can ride in a chariot!"

Tian Jing also had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

……

In the first ten days of May, the rain gradually increased. This is undoubtedly a great thing for the often dry man, but it is not so perfect for the two sides in the battle.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo has surrounded Yanshi, but the front has not stopped, but continues to move towards Luoyang." Guo Jiahui reported.

"Isn't it a taboo for military strategists to march across the city?"

"A mere ten miles away, how can we attack by crossing the city? If you are a fast horse, you can reach the city of Luoyang in half a day. It seems that Dong Zhuo wants to trap the army of Yanshi, and then go straight to Huanglong and attack Luoyang. If successful, there will be a difference in attack and defense! Moreover, the north and the south each have soldiers and horses to support them to prevent interference. Those who come up with such a plan cannot be said to be bold and careful!"

"Feng Xiao thinks, who came up with the idea? Dong Zhuo's side is nothing but those people."

"It should be Li Ru and Li Wenyou. If Jia Wenhe offers advice, it should be safer." Guo Jia commented.

"What kind of safe method?"

"Look, my lord, Yuan's army is on the defensive, focusing first on the city. Ping County is the most important place to defend. It is too close to Luoyang, so there is no room for maneuver. This is the key point. If Jia Wenhe uses troops, he will definitely not let go of such flaws. But Li Ru's offensive is simple and straightforward, he is confident that he can win, so he disdains it." Guo Jia explained.

"Can you see this too?" Liu Qing looked at the sign on the map. According to the intelligence, that's all the information displayed. Liu Qing didn't think too much about it. Who knew that Guo Jia could see who Dong Zhuo's plan was. of.

I have to say that this trick requires a professional counterpart, there are so many tricks in it.

"In Feng Xiao's opinion, who is more confident in this battle?"

Guo Jia suddenly looked at the sky, although he was inside the house, he pointed to the sky and said: "Although Sun Jian and Han Sui are brave, but the large-scale Xiliang Army can occupy a great advantage in a large-scale melee. It can be seen that the Qiangliang rebels attacked the city of Chang'an several times before, but if the weather is not good, if the rain continues, the roads and battlefields are muddy, and the cavalry cannot be used, the Xiliang army will be greatly reduced."

Liu Qing has a deep understanding of this point. He has been fighting outside all year round. Liu Qing has also experienced marching in the rain, and even experienced training in the rain. The muddy pits are extremely hidden dangers for the cavalry.

"So it looks like Dong Zhuo is going to end up at the end of the road?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on whether Dong Zhuo can hold his breath and retreat bravely..."

Before the words were finished, a soldier rushed over in the rain, "report—"

"My lord, there is an urgent report on the battlefield. Sun Jian suddenly killed Yanshi in the rain and attacked the camp of Dong Zhuo's vanguard Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was beheaded!"

"Hua Xiong died just like that?" Liu Qing subconsciously replied?
"My lord, do you recognize Hua Xiong?" Guo Jia looked at Liu Qing curiously.

Slaying Huaxiong with warm wine is one of the top ten famous scenes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although Huaxiong was originally beheaded by Sun Jian in history, the general who can make a name is naturally a person with ability. Liu Qing originally thought that maybe he could Meet this mighty general under Dong Zhuo's tent.

"It's just something I've heard. I heard that he is the top general under Dong Zhuo's command."

Guo Jia joked: "My lord's expression, why do you look a little distressed?"

Liu Qing hehe, if he didn't die, maybe at the end of the road, he would vote for himself with Dong Zhuo?

The Xiliang army can't control it, and Liu Qing is still very interested in the generals from Liangzhou.

Those who come from Liangzhou are barbarians. This is a stereotype and it is not advisable. Huangfusong and Fu Xie are not all from Liangzhou.

"Can this king not be heartbroken, the servants of the Han family, fighting outside Luoyang, you are so painful, it hurts too much!"

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, intending to cooperate with the lord.

"Then why don't you stop this fight, my lord, I'm afraid tens of thousands of soldiers will be buried in the mud! Your Majesty can't bear it!" Guo Jia said.

Liu Qing raised his brows, hearing Guo Jia's strange words, gave Guo Jia a serious look with malicious intentions.

"Feng Xiao, have you heard an old saying?"

Guo Jia asked curiously, "Master, what are you talking about?"

"The sun always comes after the storm, how can you see a rainbow if you don't experience the wind and rain?"

Guo Jia has obviously never heard of it. What is a rainbow?However, I understand the truth behind the sunshine after the storm.

"My lord, what is the rainbow?"
