Three hundred and fortieth three chapters move the whole body
Dong Zhuo believed that those books were worth a lot of money, so he naturally would not let the soldiers destroy them. Instead, he sent soldiers and horses to guard them carefully, and sent people to deliver messages at high speed, inviting Liu Xiang to negotiate.
Cai Yong also wrote in longhand, and then he dived into the pile of books. With the Doctor of the Five Classics, the Collector, and the Secretary and Supervisor, he worked hard to organize the books, mainly packing them into boxes and preparing them for transportation.
He firmly believes that anyone with any conscience will do their best to save these books.
Liu Xiang received the letter the next day.
He knew that Luoyang had a large collection of books, which had been collected during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although a lot of them were destroyed during Wang Mang's new dynasty, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu moved the capital, he still pulled out more than two thousand carts of books in Chang'an.
, shipped to Luoyang.
Guangwu even paid more attention to the collection and arrangement of books than the Western Han Dynasty, built many places for collecting books, and even set up secretaries to supervise and manage them.
By the time of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, after three generations of emperors and a hundred years of hard work, the collection of books had more than tripled.
From Emperor He of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he had been collecting, sorting, and revising books.
The eleven emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty all attached great importance to books. Unfortunately, they were all destroyed when the Han Dynasty was presented to the emperor.
Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and his soldiers used the silk books to make screens, curtains, umbrella covers, leather pouches, wooden slips and bamboo slips and burned them. Wang Yun picked them up among the ashes and transported seventy carts to Chang'an, but there was chaos and destruction along the way.
Most of it.
Wang Yun hates Liangzhou soldiers. Is this one of the reasons?
Now, there was a chance to save the situation, and Liu Xiang set out that day.
Those books are wisdom, treasures, and the basis for the Han people to be stronger than the barbarians and barbarians.
Even if he has to pay some price, he still has to work hard.
Not for fame or profit, he wants to go.
Even if it's a fight with Dong Zhuo.
Before leaving, I sent a letter to Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Liu Hong of Zhuoxian Academy, telling them about the books in Luoyang, and asking them to take the students south to prepare for receiving and sorting them out.
Zhao Yun was ordered to assemble 20,000 Jizhou troops, prepare 8,000 carts, and then pass through Taihangxing and go to Tianjingguan to wait for orders.
Cui Yi was ordered to command the Chinese army and be on standby in Ye County.
Transferred Xu Huang to lead the right army to Tianjingguan to be on guard.
He transferred Zhang He to lead the Bingzhou Army with 10,000 troops and marched south to Tianjing Pass.
The Tianjingguan garrison was ordered to divide its troops and go south to prepare for the response.
Ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Cang to be more vigilant and defend the Yellow River defense line.
Liu Xiang led 500 knights and 3,000 knights, one person and three horses, and the light cavalry rushed through Chaoge and walked through Huai County. They galloped 580 miles for three days and nights. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, they arrived at the Mengjin Ferry and crossed the Yellow River.
Horse resting on the north shore.
The Yellow River has not yet been unsealed, but he does not want to go south. If he goes further south, he will directly slap Dong Zhuo in the face. This time he is here to threaten people, not to fight desperately. He must pay attention to his propriety.
Crossing the river here, sixty miles to the south is Luoyang.
The messenger has been sent, waiting for Dong Zhuo's reaction.
At the same time, the Tianjingguan garrison has divided its troops into 8,000 troops and headed south to Yewang County, ready to provide supplies at any time.
Zhang He's 10,000 troops have passed through Changzi County and will reach Tianjing Pass in two days.
Xu Huang's troops have rushed to the vicinity of Heishan and are preparing to enter Taihangxing. They will be able to reinforce Tianjing Pass within three days.
Zhao Yun was still gathering vehicles to load the baggage. He wanted to transport supplies to Tianjingguan and then free up the carts to transport books.
Cui Yi ordered Hu Qiying's four thousand cavalry to move to Chaoge, ready to go south to support them at any time.
The Anping Army mobilized frequently, but Luoyang didn't respond at all, but the Kwantung Allied Forces were surprised.
Some people are scared, some people are happy.
Especially Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, was shocked three times in one day. Tens of thousands of horses rushed past his city.
The earth trembled like thunder, and no one under his command dared to tell what happened in the city.
Of course, he did not dare to order a battle out of the city.
The coalition forces of Suanzao were in a quarrel. Qiao Mao clamored to lead troops to march north. Most of Yanzhou East County was occupied. He was leading the troops outside at the time and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Now the coalition forces of hundreds of thousands are just in time to take revenge.
But others disagreed. How could the first battle against Dong be fought against an unrelated person? Dong Zhuo was powerful enough, and then he provoked a powerful Liu Xiang. Was he crazy?
Cao Cao was full of disdain. Cheng Gao's position was so important, but he gave up casually because he was afraid of death. Such a cowardly guy still dared to clamor to go north. If you have the ability, go by yourself!
He interrupted the quarrel among several people and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, listen to me. Our armies have been in alliance for some time. Hundreds of thousands of troops have been stationed here, and the food and grass consumption is huge. When we march west to Xingyang, we will seize Aocang."
, thinking it is for military use, otherwise the situation will be over when the military rations run out."
"Just let Jizhou provide us with military rations." Qiao Mao responded loudly, turning around and looking around, hoping to get support from his allies.
Others are disdainful. They just said they would attack Jizhou, and now they want others to provide military rations. Why? They are used to being bossy, and no one takes them seriously anymore, right?
Liu Dai and Yuan Yi were all very disgusted with Qiao Mao. He only boasted and did not care about human affairs. He also had an arrogant attitude and his eyes were higher than his head. It was really annoying.
Cao Cao choked Qiao Mao and said: "Go by yourself, whether it's fighting or asking for food, you go tell Liu Yicheng and see if he will kill you!"
Qiao Mao's face turned red and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Zhang Miao smoothed things over and eased the atmosphere: "Now that the alliance leader Yuan Benchu has not arrived, it is not good to send troops without authorization. Meng De is calm and calm, Yuan Wei is temporarily calm, we will form an alliance to fight against the thieves, and we must not damage the peace. Let's discuss first whether Liu Yicheng will send troops
What’s your intention in going south?”
"Obviously he is going for Dong Zhuo, otherwise Wang Gongjie would have died a long time ago. We should take the opportunity to march westward, attack Xingyang, and seize Aocang." Cao Cao really felt that this was a good opportunity. With Liu Xiang involving Dong Zhuo's attention, he should act decisively.
He led his troops to march westward, why should he hesitate? It would be best to recapture Cheng Gao, who was easily given up by Qiao Mao.
Unfortunately, only Bao Xin supported him, and the others were unwilling to send troops.
As for that idiot who wants to go north, you can ignore it.
There was a lively quarrel over the jujube side, but the army never moved. Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, stationed troops at Yingchuan with peace of mind, keeping an eye on the movement of the jujube coalition. He did not dare to send troops alone, as he was afraid of being destroyed if he could not do it.
Yuan Shu of Nanyang wanted to make some noise, so that the world could see how Yuan Shao, a bastard who was a slave girl, could compare with him, the legitimate son of the Yuan family. Are all the scholars in Guandong blind? How could they choose Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance?
No one else has arrived, but I directly raised an army. Are you all blind?
The sad thing is that his current situation is not good. Dong Zhuo is in the north and Liu Biao is in the south, so he can't move.
Yuan Shu was angry and aggrieved, and spent the whole night drunk to drown his sorrows.
At this time, Dong Zhuo was also worried. He was sitting in the main hall, sulking, depressed, heartbroken, and wanted to hit someone.
Originally, I was happily waiting for Liu Xiang's reply, hoping to gain some benefits. However, I waited until Qingqi rushed forward and marched to the Yellow River.
The Kwantung Allied Forces were enough to give him a headache. Now, Liu Xiang is sending troops.
It’s difficult.
The people in Liangzhou who were sitting at the bottom had dealt with Liu Xiang a lot. They had been rescued and beaten down. They were in a complicated mood for a while and didn't want to speak.
Dong Zhuo once again picked up Liu Xiang's letter and read it, which was as brief as ever.
"I'm here to negotiate."
When I invited him to negotiate, I was filled with joy. Now, people are coming, and they are coming with soldiers, and they are coming too fast.
I can't be happy at all.
This is not for negotiation, this is a threat!
"Hahaha, what a Liu Yicheng, he is as strong as ever, it is not easy to make him bow down." This only aroused the pride in Dong Zhuo's chest, the courageous and heroic spirit that was overwhelmed by wealth and power.
"Come here, prepare a car, I'm going to the Yellow River to meet friends!"
"The prime minister's status is very important, how can he act lightly? Just send an envoy." Liu Ai advised him. Luoyang was preparing to move the capital and was in chaos. Dong Zhuo was needed to deter him.
"Why bother the Prime Minister? I will lead the troops to kill the little Liu Xiang." Lu Bu stood up and asked for orders. He wanted to avenge the humiliation of the two previous defeats. Now that his military strength has increased tenfold, the time for revenge has come.
Dong Zhuo glanced at him and felt that Lu Bu was very strong in martial arts, but his brain was not very good.
Just you?
Forget it!
"Fengxian's bravery is commendable. The rebels in Guandong are rampant. You can lead your troops eastward and station in Xingyang to wait for an opportunity to wipe out the main force of the jujube thieves." Dong Zhuo thought it would be better to let him go farther away. He didn't want to follow him.
Liu Xiang went to war.
"The general will obey the order!"
Lu Bu was a little regretful, but he accepted the order happily. He didn't think the Kwantung Allied Forces were very powerful, and he didn't want to leave Luoyang. Luoyang was so prosperous and close to Bingzhou, so his soldiers would not be too homesick, and it would be convenient for them to counterattack and take revenge.
It happened to take the opportunity to wipe out the rebels in the Kanto region and give up the idea of moving the capital to the prime minister.
He hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion, led a total of 20,000 soldiers from Bingzhou that he had brought from Ding Yuan, and Dong Zhuo's additional soldiers from Bingzhou, and headed straight for Xingyang.
Dong Zhuo did not waste any time, and despite all objections, the carriage arrived at the south bank of the Yellow River.
