Chapter 403: The Second Discussion of the Board of Directors
The sixth year of Chuping was destined to be an eventful year, especially after Luo Yang, the king of Hanzhong County, issued a corrective edict to the world, which shocked the world! In this edict, Luo Yang once again called on the heroes of the world to fight against the national traitor Dong Zhuo.
, and listed Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, and Sun Jian, the governor of Yangzhou, as Dong Zhuo's comrades, and called on the heroes of the world to fight against him together!
After Luo Yang's corrective edict was just issued, first of all, the current Jizhou governor Gongsun Zan responded and issued a statement to attack Dong Zhuo's comrade Cao Cao! Gongsun Zan's statement was not just talk, and soon Gongsun Zan put it into practice.
His actions proved that what he said was true. Twenty thousand white-horse Yi Cong and fifty thousand armored troops were stationed at the junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou, and they were about to launch an attack on Yanzhou at any time!
Immediately afterwards, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, also responded to Luo Yang's edict and sent nearly 30,000 elite Danyang troops directly to the border of Xuzhou and Yangzhou. Although Tao Qian's troops were much inferior to Gongsun Zan's army,
But in order to control Yangzhou and Yuzhou, Sun Jian was already stretched thin in terms of military strength. These 30,000 Danyang soldiers were already a great pressure for Sun Jian!
In addition to these two parties, other small princes such as Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang also responded one after another and sent troops to Luoyang to participate in the alliance! As a result, Luoyang's reputation soared to the top again, and it was unparalleled for a while!
"Hahahaha!" After listening to the sergeant's report, Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh up to the sky. The laughter kept echoing in the meeting hall, and then he said to his subordinates: "I want to see, Cao Cao and Sun Jian, these two
What should a guy do!”
Huang Zhong and other generals also had smiles on their faces. Previously, in order to attack Cao Cao, Luo Yang brought a Hanzhong Commandery Prince to himself. In fact, Luoyang had never been called the Commandery Prince before, but based on Luo Yang's reputation at the time
, I'm afraid it's still a little short of being able to directly claim the title of king, so Luo Yang simply took the title of a county king. In short, he gave himself a title first, and since he married the eldest princess, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.
The status is implicitly to be higher than other princes!
At that time, Luo Yang took charge of the Hanzhong County King. In fact, he just wanted to go to Yanzhou to make his name more famous. However, he did not expect that he could play such a role now, which was an unexpected surprise! Although it was Cao Cao's first time to challenge Dong Alliance.
The initiator, Sun Jian, was also a participant in the alliance against Dong for the first time, but this time they colluded with the national thief Dong Zhuo, and the three parties joined forces to deal with Luo Yang, a relative of the emperor! Luo Yang had caught their tail!
Luo Yang used this as an excuse to ask Qin Mi to send envoys to Jizhou and Xuzhou to persuade Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian to send troops to contain Cao Cao and Sun Jian. This way, Luo Yang could ensure that when dealing with Dong Zhuo, he did not have to worry about those behind him.
Trouble! This way, although it lacks the strong support of Gongsun Zan, it is more reliable. After all, the opponent is Cao Cao, the traitor. If there is no restraint, it is difficult for Bao Yang to attack Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao will not repeat his old tricks and attack
Luo Yang's rear! Guo Jia yesterday based everything on the fact that Cao Cao cherished his reputation. But based on what Cao Cao did in history, he seemed to be a person who cherished his reputation. Such a gamble would be too risky!
Moreover, Luo Yang had other thoughts when doing this. If the attack on Dong Zhuo fails this time, there is nothing to say. But if he wins, how will the huge territory under Dong Zhuo's jurisdiction be divided up? What if Gongsun Zan and Luo Yang attack together?
Dong Zhuo worked hard here, so should Gongsun Zan have a share of this cake? But now it is different. Gongsun Zan went to deal with Cao Cao, and Tao Qian went to deal with Sun Jian. The most they could do was beat Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
How could Luo Yang pay attention to the idea of other minor players participating in the alliance? By then, Luo Yang would be able to monopolize all Dong Zhuo's power!
Thinking of this, Luo Yang just smiled from ear to ear. Of course, all this must be based on Luo Yang's ability to successfully defeat Dong Zhuo! For this, Luo Yang is not completely confident, but at least it is not as good as before.
So hesitant, no matter what, let’s fight first!
After Zhou Cang, who was sitting below, listened to Luo Yang's words, he burst out laughing and shouted: "My lord! This time we fight against Dong Zhuo, no matter what, the last general must be the vanguard! Please help the last general, lord!"
"Go!" Seeing that Zhou Cang had taken the lead, the other generals immediately stopped. Zhang Liao stood up and said to Zhou Cang: "General Zhou! This is not possible! The one who attacked Yanzhou before
At that time, you will be the vanguard! No matter what, it will be my turn this time! My lord! The last general is willing to lead three thousand swords and light cavalry and serve as the vanguard!"
After Zhou Cang and Zhang Liao got up, the generals stopped working and stood up to ask for orders. Luo Yang shook his head, waved his hands to everyone, and said: "Generals, please stop fighting! This time we attack Dong Zhuo.
None of you can even think of being a pioneer!"
"Ah?" Hearing what Luo Yang said, all the generals were dumbfounded and turned to look at Luo Yang. None of them can be a vanguard? Is Luo Yang going to be a vanguard general this time for fun? This, this is too ridiculous
Come on!
Seeing everyone's eyes, Luo Yang laughed, pointed at the generals, and said with a smile: "You guys! Don't forget, there are nearly 100,000 Xiliang troops at Hangu Pass now! Our company has 50,000 people
Even if we send them all, they still won’t be able to shake Hangu Pass! We have saved these soldiers and horses with great difficulty, and I would not be willing to use them to die!"
However, Zhang Liao was worthy of being called a wise general. His eyes lit up immediately and he guessed: "What the lord wants to say is that he wants Zhang Yang and others to be the vanguard?"
"Hahahaha! Not bad! Not bad!" After Zhang Liao said what he was thinking, Luo Yang burst into laughter and said: "Otherwise, why do you think I want to drag them along in a good manner? Just to let them help us act as a shield.
! Let’s sharpen the strength of the Xiliang army first!”
After listening to Luo Yang's words, everyone was speechless. This was the first time they discovered that their lord was so insidious! But, they like such insidiousness! Zhou Cang, who had just said that he must be a pioneer, immediately laughed and said
: "My lord, this is a good move! Hehe! I saw Zhang Yang's group of people showing off their power on the street yesterday. They really think of themselves as some kind of characters! It's best to let them be the vanguard! Wait for them and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang
The army will fight a few battles to see if they can continue to be so majestic!"
After Luo Yang's edict was issued, Zhang Yang and other small princes who dominated the four directions responded one after another. Those who were close had already arrived in Luoyang City. As these people and horses were close together, it was inevitable that they would bump into each other. For this reason, Luo Yang also
Many officials were specially transferred from Jingzhou and Yizhou to help with management. Luo Yang also specially told his subordinates not to let them conflict with these people. At least before the alliance began, the relationship must not be stalemate.
!
After listening to Zhou Cang's words, the young general Li Yan was a little worried and said: "My lord, Zhang Yang and others are not fools. Could it be that they would willingly let their soldiers and horses die?"
"Haha! Zhengfang! You don't understand this!" This time there was no need for Luo Yang to answer. Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled. Li Yan has been serving as a general under Huang Zhong in the past few years, and Huang Zhong also values this very much.
He was a rising star in the army, and Li Yan and Huang Xu had a good relationship, so Huang Zhong also called Li Yan by his first cousin, "Don't Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang and others know how much they have? This Dong Zhuo is
Who is this person? How can they be able to deal with it? They responded so quickly to the lord's edict this time, simply because they wanted to risk their own soldiers and horses to death! The reason was to challenge Dong this time.
In the battle, gain fame! Once the soldiers die, they can continue to recruit more! With fame, they have no problem recruiting as many soldiers as they want!"
Li Yan obviously had no experience in this area and was very surprised by Huang Zhong's words. However, the generals who followed Luo Yang in the first alliance to discuss Dong had a deep understanding of it. Zhou Cang also rarely said seriously: "Huang
The general is right! I remember that when I was in Chenliu, those who participated in the alliance tried their best to recruit new soldiers. Those new soldiers had just been recruited and had no combat effectiveness at all! If there was a war with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army,
The only way for them is to die! Those princes have not considered the lives of these people at all, they just want to use the lives of those new soldiers in exchange for reputation!"
"Okay! Okay! Don't think about these things anymore!" Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed, Luo Yang also waved his hand, changed the topic, turned to Guo Jia and asked: "Fengxiao! Write to Zhizhi
Have the letters from Cai and Demo been delivered? Have they replied?"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "This is what I was just about to say! The two secret letters from the lord have been sent to Zhicai and Master Cheng respectively, and their replies have just been sent!" After that, Guo Jia
He took out two kits from his sleeves and handed them directly to Luo Yang.
The seal of the kit was sealed with fire paint. This was a secret letter written by Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu to Luo Yang. Even if Guo Jia gained Luo Yang's trust, he would not dare to do such an unethical thing. Luo Yang
He couldn't wait to take the brocade bag, pinched the fire paint directly, took out the secret message from the brocade bag, looked at it carefully, and finally smiled and said: "Okay! Okay! Zhicai and Demou have already acted according to my instructions.
!This time I will let the old thief Dong Zhuo taste our power!"
Regarding Luo Yang's arrangement, no one here knew about it, not even Guo Jia, who was most trusted by Luo Yang. This is not to say that Luo Yang did not trust them, but that the attack on Dong Zhuo this time was of great importance, and Luo Yang's arrangement was very important.
Secrets must not be allowed to be known to others! However, the generals were also very sensible, and when they saw Luo Yang refusing to talk, they did not bother to ask. Immediately, Luo Yang slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "The order is down! Prepare for the day! Let's open the forum.
