The three hundred and fortieth chapter is on an equal footing with the emperor
More than a hundred transport ships, carrying tens of thousands of soldiers, sailed to the south bank with the cover of the morning light.
At this moment, there were only more than a thousand imperial guards stationed at the Pingjin Ferry on the south bank.
The sudden appearance of a large number of Qi troops immediately caused the Ferry Royal Guard to panic. Before they could react, the ships had rushed into the Ferry, and thousands of iron cavalrymen had already surging onto the shore.
Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Wen Chou led the White Horse Yilu, the Tiger Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry, and they were unstoppable and rushed into the ferry.
In an instant, more than a thousand imperial guards were killed, and the blood flowed into a river.
Yuan Fang took the ferry head with almost no effort and planted his "Qi" flag on the land on the south bank.
"Master, most of the Imperial Guards in the Ferry Head were killed, and only more than a hundred people escaped. I guess they ran to Luoyang. I am afraid that the emperor will guard Luoyang with warnings. There are nearly five thousand Imperial Guards in the city."
Zhao Yun rode his horse and said worriedly.
Yuan Fang smiled and pointed the halberd at Luoyang, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have made arrangements long ago, so the emperor can't defend Luoyang."
After saying that, Yuan Fang did not hesitate and immediately led more than 10,000 cavalry toward Luoyang, twenty miles away.
When the sky was bright, the defeated Imperial Guards brought back the news that a large number of Qi troops landed in Pingjin back to Luoyang City.
The whole city was in panic in a blink of an eye.
The frightened Liu Xie realized that he had been trapped in Yuan Fang's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
In panic, Liu Xie sent someone to ask Dong Cheng for help, and ordered the remaining five thousand imperial guards to hurry up to the city to guard the city, and then sent someone to find Sima Yi, hoping to find countermeasures.
In the hall south of Luoyang City, Sima Yi, who was slumped in a wheelchair, was staring at the map on his knees and outlining a plan in his chest.
"Cao Cao and Sun Ce and Yuan Shao are both old enemies, so they will definitely attack north with all their might. As for Ma Teng, Guanzhong. This person is the leader of the Xiliang army. He needs a big victory to establish his authority. I believe he will do his best to siege three sides. Yuan Fang. I see how you can resist my strategy of joining the country this time..."
"Zhongda. Big things are not good. Big things are not good." Sima Lang broke in in a panic, interrupting Sima Yi's thoughts.
"What makes my brother so panic?" Sima Yi was indifferent.
Sima Lang wiped the sweat from his head and stuttered: "It was Yuan Fang. Yuan Fang's boy suddenly led the cavalry to appear in Hanoi and crossed the Yellow River. He had already attacked Pingjin Dui and was coming towards Luoyang."
Thunder fell.
The map covered by her knees slipped down, and Sima Yi was shocked instinctively wanted to jump up. He supported his hands, but then he realized that his lower body was paralyzed.
"That Yuan thief actually attacked Pingjindu?" Sima Yi said furiously.
"Yes, we have been trapped in his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Dong Cheng's army is still in Yanshi, so it is impossible to save it. Zhongda, the emperor is sending someone to find you. What should we do?" Sima Lang was already panicked and his voice was trembling.
"Damn it, this Yuan thief actually exceeded my plan..."
Sima Yi gritted his teeth secretly, hated for a while, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's time to abandon the emperor and evacuate Luoyang. Brother, please go and order Wang Yue to summon the remaining troops to protect our Sima family from Luoyang."
...
The iron cavalry rolls, and the dust covers the sky.
In the afternoon, Yuan Fang personally unified the ten thousand cavalry and rushed to the city of Luoyang.
Following Dong Zhuo's Iron Cavalry in Xiliang, the imperial capital once again ushered in an unprecedented Iron Cavalry Legion.
The sound of horse hooves that collapsed that day actually shook the towering Luoyang. At this moment, everyone in the city felt fear.
On the top of the city, the remaining five thousand imperial guards had already climbed to the city and were ready to face the enemy in panic.
Yuan Fang stood at the city, for the first time in his life, and saw the charm of Luoyang.
Although this emperor was burned by Dong Zhuo back then, the city wall was still there. The huge city wall was several feet taller than Yecheng, so majestic.
Zhuge Liang was stationed at the city of Ma, looking up at the towering city wall, and couldn't help but breathe: "Master, the Luoyang city wall is too high. We are afraid that it will be difficult for us to break through just ten thousand cavalry."
"If you can break the attack without attack, you will see the truth after a while." Yuan Fang was calm and did not feel afraid at all.
More than 10,000 cavalry galloped around Luoyang, surrounding him without attacking.
An hour later, something that surprised Zhuge Liang and other generals suddenly happened.
The north gate of Luoyang, the originally closed huge city gate, was slowly opened
Immediately afterwards, nearly a thousand imperial guards walked out of the city gate in full view of the public, placed their weapons in the moat, lined up outside the city gate, as if they were surrendered.
"What's going on? Could it be that the emperor is making some tricks?" Zhuge Liang said in surprise.
Yuan Fang raised a smile on his lips, as if the changes in front of him were all within his expectations.
In his sight, several cavalrymen left the city, rushed to the front of Yuan Fang's horse.
The visitors were court officials such as Dong Zhao and Zhong Yao who were loyal to Yuan Fang.
"Duke, I have instigated the North Gate Guards, and the gate of Luoyang has been opened. Please lead your army into the city." Dong Zhao bowed and smiled.
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, looked at Yuan Fang suddenly and said in surprise: "No wonder Master is sure to win. It turns out that he had a great move in Luoyang."
Yuan Fang smiled and praised: "Gongren, you can defeat Luoyang's first contribution. You have done a good job.
Dong Zhao, this chess piece that Yuan Fang buried beside the emperor for many years, finally played a final role at the most critical moment.
"The emperor may not be able to wait. Duke, please enter the city." Dong Zhao said with a mysterious voice.
Yuan Fang laughed wildly, and rode his horse like the wind, running towards Luoyang with its mighty momentum.
Behind him, more than 10,000 cavalry moved and followed Yuan Fang straight into the capital.
Outside the city gate, the imperial guards who were instigated by Yuan Fang's power were all intimidated by Yuan Fang's power, and they knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
The Qi army entered the city in large numbers, and Yuan Fang ordered Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other generals to lead troops to control the four gates, arsenals and other key points. Any imperial guard who dared to resist would be killed without mercy.
Yuan Fangzhe personally led thousands of troops and horses to kill him directly to the palace where the emperor lived.
The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard was already very weak. Now Dong Zhao instigated the rebellion and opened the northern gate to welcome Yuan Fang into the city. The news spread, which caused the fighting spirit of the Imperial Guard to collapse.
Yuan Fang had almost no decent resistance when he passed by. He had iron hooves opened the gate of the palace and headed straight towards the Golden Palace.
When the Qi army entered the city, the palace was in panic and chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs fled everywhere, for fear of being killed by the chaotic army.
Yuan Fang strictly restrained his subordinates and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The Golden Palace was empty, except for a few of the most loyal eunuchs, the rest of the people fled.
Liu Xie sat on the dragon seat, describing fear and grief, but helpless.
"How could this happen? Everything I have worked hard to manage is gone in a blink of an eye by Yuan Fang's traitor? Oh my god, why don't you protect me, but protect the traitor..."
When Liu Xie was whistling to the sky and scolding the unfairness of the sky, a bolt from the blue shattered his grief and anger.
The huge palace gate was shattered from the outside by a huge force and shattered.
Liu Xie was startled and subconsciously fell backwards.
When he trembled and opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a young general wearing silver armor and a silver robe holding a Fangtian painting halberd in his forehand, standing in front of the destroyed palace gate like a god of war.
The power of self-importance without anger seemed to fill the hall in an instant, and the complete chillingness surrounded Liu Xie and his servants.
Yuan Fang stood in front of the door so proudly, his eagle's eyes were like blades, shooting directly at the great Han emperor on the dragon throne.
Then, he carried the Fang Tian Painted Spear on his back, and slowly walked into the hall with iron armor.
Behind him, more than a hundred armored warriors walked neatly and followed him into the hall. The "clang" footsteps made the entire hall buzz.
Yuan Fang was just before Liu Xie watched nervously, slowly entered the hall, stepped onto the advanced level, and stopped before Liu Xie's three steps.
Just sitting on the same side, standing calmly in front of Liu Xie.
"My Duke Qi Yuan Fang, I have met Your Majesty."
Yuan Fang called himself a "member", but neither bowed nor bowed, and just faced Liu Xie with a cold look on his face.
"He...he is Yuan Fang?"
The shocked and angry Liu Xie looked at Yuan Fang with an incredible look.
The Yuan Fang he heard of has always existed like a legend. Today, I saw it with my own eyes, but I didn’t expect that Yuan Fang was still so young.
At this age, he could become the overlord of the six states and kill all the heroes such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei. What kind of excellence is he?
Liu Xie, who was surprised, suddenly woke up, suppressed his shock and anger, and said sternly to Yuan Fang: "Duke of Qi, I have not summoned you to Beijing, but you have brought troops into Luoyang. You dare to lead troops straight to the Golden Palace. What do you want to do?"
Faced with the emperor's righteous questioning, Yuan Fang said coldly: "What do I want to do? The manifesto has already made it clear. Naturally, I want to clear the king's side and kill Dong Cheng, the treacherous minister around His Majesty."
"Why do you say that Mr. Dong is a treacherous minister?" Liu Xie asked back with a glaring look.
Yuan Fang took a step forward and said sternly: "Just relying on his instructions to Zhong Ji, he gave him the imperial wine in the name of poisoning and plotting to kill me!"
The sound of a bell-like sound made Liu Xie shock.
After suppressing the panic in his heart, Liu Xie said seriously: "Even so, I should deal with Dong Cheng. It's not your turn like an outsider to intervene."
"It has been several months since Zhongji poisoned it. I saw that Dong Cheng was still in a high position and was free from justice, but I did not see His Majesty punish him. From this we can see that His Majesty was determined to be favoritism and wanted to protect Dong Cheng. Since His Majesty was favoritism and abused the law, I had to bring troops into the capital and come to seek justice for me in person!"
Yuan Fang was angry in his heart and directly criticized Liu Xie for being favored, which was already a public challenge to Liu Xie's majesty.
Liu Xie was extremely angry and stood up, pointing at Yuan Fang and said, "Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang, don't be arrogant. Mr. Dong has already been summoned by me. At this moment, he must be on the way back to the army. When his army arrives, you will be finished. I advise you to take care of yourself. It's better to lead your troops out of Luoyang as soon as possible, otherwise you will regret it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a personal soldier hurried in and bowed and shouted: "Report to the Lord, General Wen has received good news. He has successfully ambushed Dong Cheng west of Yanshi, severely damaged the enemy's army, and captured the enemy's leader Dong Cheng alive."
A thunder broke through the Golden Palace.
