Two voices sounded in the military tent at the same time, one full of surprise, the other full of consternation. The one who made the surprised voice was none other than Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the leader of the Guandong Princes Alliance. He had just received the military information sent from Sishui Pass.
, Luo Yang led his troops to attack Sishui Pass and achieved a complete victory. Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong also died tragically at the hands of Luo Yang's generals!
Although Luo Yang is not a direct descendant of Yuan Shao, this is the first victory of the Allied Forces after all, and it is such a big victory! As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao is of course embarrassed and has no memory of how he fought against Luo Yang.
worries.
But that voice full of astonishment came from Yuan Shu, who was sitting on Yuan Shao's right hand. He looked at the scout who had just reported the military situation with disbelief, and almost jumped up and pinched his neck to ask whether it was true or not. As early as
A few days ago, the army he and Han Fu sent to seize power returned in defeat. His general Yu She and Han Fu's general Pan Feng were all killed by Hua Xiong's sword. Yuan Shu, however, did not feel sad and died miserably.
Yu She, who was under Hua Xiong's sword, was gloating and waiting to see Luo Yang's good show. Unexpectedly, the good show did not come, but the news of Luo Yang's victory came. How could Yuan Shu be reconciled? Except for Yuan Shu
In addition, there were many other princes who also sent troops and horses, but their expressions were not very good.
Naturally, Yuan Shu and the princes' little moves could not be hidden from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. When they heard that Yuan Shu and others' troops returned defeated, they were really worried. Hua Xiong is so brave, Luo Yang
Maybe they were really going to lose to Hua Xiong. But I never thought that Luo Yang actually won. Not only did he win, but he also won a big victory! This boosted the morale of the Allies a lot! Besides, Luo Yang was none other than them.
All the same, they are all captains from the Xiyuan Army. To put it more seriously, they are one of their own!
Cao Cao smiled and stroked his palms and said: "I knew Zi Hui was extraordinary! Taking Sishui Pass this time has greatly defeated the Dong thief's arrogance! The momentum of our allies has also increased! Then our army can take advantage of it.
With this momentum, we can directly attack Luoyang, eliminate the Dong thieves, and help the Han Dynasty!"
"Well said!" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are old partners. The two sang and harmonized, which smoothed the awkward atmosphere among the princes. Yuan Shao cheered, stood up directly, and said to everyone in the military tent:
"Send the order, the whole army is on its way! Continue to march towards Sishui Pass!"
At this time, the Allied forces had already left Chenliu and marched to Zhongmou. If they continued at the previous speed, it would take at least three days to reach the Sishui Pass. However, with Yuan Shao's order, the entire army had just been set up.
There is no need for any of the tents in the camp, and we will speed up the process directly towards Sishui Pass.
But before the army had walked out for half a day, another fast horse arrived from the front. However, it was stopped by Yuan Shao's guards from a distance, but the sergeant on horseback looked very anxious and did not care.
Ignoring the guards blocking the way, he bravely rushed towards Yuan Shao and others who were walking at the forefront of the army. While rushing back, he shouted: "Leader! Urgent report from the front! Urgent report from the front!"
However, those guards would not let him go just because of the sergeant's words. Those behind him were all important people. If something went wrong, it wouldn't be a big deal to kill them! On the contrary, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were behind.
People couldn't help but frowned. They had just received the good news from Bishui Pass. How could there be another urgent news? Doubts turned out to be doubts. Since it was an urgent news, it must be a very important matter. Yuan Shao immediately
He waved his hand and shouted: "Let him come over!"
With Yuan Shao's words, the guards dared to let him go. Of course, they had to take off the soldier's weapon first. When the soldier rushed to Yuan Shao and others, he knelt down with a plop.
He took out a kit from his arms, raised it above his head, and shouted loudly: "Alliance leader! The military situation at Sishui Pass is urgent!"
Yuan Shao was riding on horseback, so naturally he couldn't pick up the brocade bag. He waved to the soldiers behind him, who took the brocade bag to him. He opened the brocade bag, took out the brocade silk inside, and looked carefully.
Look, Yuan Shao's hands suddenly trembled, his face turned livid, and he almost couldn't even grab the brocade silk.
Cao Cao, who was next to Yuan Shao, saw this and immediately knew that something was wrong. He hurriedly asked: "Leader, what happened?"
"Tie Dong! I, Yuan Benchu, am at odds with you!" Yuan Shao stared at Luoyang to the west and cursed fiercely: "Zihui received a military message from Luoyang yesterday! Thief Dong, thief Dong actually dared to attack me, Yuan
Let’s take action! More than two hundred people in my uncle’s family were killed!”
"What!" Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Shu, who was behind Yuan Shao, immediately screamed. Except for the brothers of the Yuan family, the other princes also looked shocked. It should be noted that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are the most powerful people in the world.
A first-class family, even Han clan clan members must show courtesy to the Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu openly opposed Dong Zhuo, they were not worried about their uncle Yuan Wei's family who was far away in Luoyang City, but they had no plans to do so.
Thinking about it, Dong Zhuo was so bold, risking the disapproval of the world and daring to attack the Yuan family! Isn't he afraid that all the old officials of the Yuan family in the world will rise up against him?
"Hateful thief Dong! If I don't cut you into pieces, it's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Yuan Shudang pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it several times, as if Dong Zhuo was in front of him. Then he
He turned to look at Yuan Shao again and shouted: "Brother! My uncle's family has suffered a tragic misfortune! We brothers have received great kindness from our uncle, how can we not avenge him!"
"Hmph!" Yuan Shao also snorted coldly, with murderous intent on his face, and shouted: "This is natural! Dong Zhuo dares to attack our Yuan family! When we get to Luoyang, we will kill all his family members. Ling Chi has already sacrificed his uncle.
A family in heaven!"
When Cao Cao heard what Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu said, he couldn't help but frowned. The alliance between various princes was for national affairs. How could he listen to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and use this alliance to seek personal revenge? But then
Thinking about it, although the purposes are different, the result is to get rid of Dong Zhuo, so it doesn't matter. Besides, nearly half of the various princes are former officials of the Yuan family. This idea is okay if Cao Cao thinks about it in his heart, but if he says it out loud
, I’m afraid I’m going to offend a lot of people!
However, Yuan Shao quickly realized that he had lost his composure, coughed slightly, and then said to Cao Cao and the princes behind him: "Masters! Thief Dong's evil deeds don't stop there! Thief Dong knew that Luo Zihui broke through.
After arriving at Sishui Pass, they actually took the emperor hostage and personally led the army to Hulao Pass! He announced to the world that we are all treasonous ministers, and the emperor personally came to conquer us!"
"How audacious!" This news once again shocked all the princes. Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peking, shouted angrily: "The Dong thief dared to hold the emperor hostage! It's so heartbreaking!" Gongsun Zan today is not like when he first arrived in Chenliu, with a head on his head.
As a student of Lu Zhi, his voice among the princes became more and more important.
Sun Jian also sneered with a gloomy face: "We are a treasonous minister? Then what is he? Is this Dong thief so blind that all the heroes in the world are blind? He actually wants to put the crime on our heads! It's simply like this
dream!"
However, there were calm people among the crowd. Kong Mindang, the governor of Yuzhou, said with worry on his face: "Although this is the case, the Dong thief has kidnapped the emperor and made us an enemy. How can we lead troops to attack the emperor?"
"
Kong Min's words also made everyone calm down, and they finally remembered the connection. I am afraid that this is also the purpose of Dong Zhuo taking the Han Emperor to Hulao Pass, which is to restrain the hands and feet of the allies. But Cao Cao thought about it.
After a moment, he said: "This is not a problem! Justice is in the heart! We are raising troops to rescue him! Dong thief kidnapped the emperor and left the palace, and we are just making a fuss about this matter! We are sending troops to attack to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
If we save the Emperor, who in the world will say that we are at fault?"
"That's right!" Yuan Shao nodded. At this moment, he hated Dong Zhuo to death. It should be noted that Yuan Wei is now the head of the Yuan family, and he has always been particularly fond of Yuan Shao. Before Yuan Shao left Luoyang, Yuan Wei had been alone
I told Yuan Shao that the next head of the Yuan family will most likely fall on Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao is the eldest brother, he is a commoner after all. In terms of competitiveness for the head of the family, he is not as competitive as Yuan Shu. Originally,
With Yuan Wei's support, Yuan Shao is much more certain of success, but now that Yuan Wei has died at the hands of Dong Zhuo, the advantage Yuan Shao just gained is gone. When he thinks of this, Yuan Shao feels filled with hatred.
, Dang even shouted: "It's useless to talk more! I will march in the army quickly to cut off the Dong thieves and rescue the emperor!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao immediately shouted to the sergeant who came to report the news: "You should return to Sishui Pass immediately and tell your family! Let him mobilize all his troops and go to Hulao Pass immediately! I will meet him at Hulao Pass!"
"
Sishui Pass is not the only way to Hulao Pass. It can be said that Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass guard the north and south sides of the only way to Luoyang City. Although they do not block the road to Luoyang
, but as long as these two passes are guarded by soldiers and horses, they must be taken down first before they can go straight to Luoyang! Yuan Shao's original plan was to go to Bishui Pass first, meet up with Luoyang's army, and then go to Hulao together.
But now that Yuan Shao is eager for revenge, he doesn't have that much time to go to Sishui Pass, so he simply lets Luo Yang go to Hulao Pass by himself, while Yuan Shao rushes directly to Hulao Pass to seek revenge against Dong Zhuo!
After hearing this, the sergeant clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and shouted: "Young man, take the order!" After saying that, he turned around and retreated. Cao Cao and others did not have any objections to Yuan Shao's arrangement. After all, the emperor is now in Dong Zhuo.
If the emperor can be rescued at Hulao Pass, then the Allied Forces' goal will be achieved this time! Immediately, the army immediately changed its direction and headed directly towards Hulao Pass!
