"Something big?" Luo Yang immediately got excited. He immediately thought that this matter must be related to the late arrival of Liu Pi and Gong Du, and immediately asked: "What big thing is it?"
Gong Du's face darkened and he said, "We encountered Dong Zhuo's army again at Shouyang Mountain!"
"What!" Luo Yang almost jumped up, Dong Zhuo? Isn't Dong Zhuo Fufeng? Why did he come to Shouyang Mountain? Now Luo Yang was completely panicked. According to historical records, Dong Zhuo should have waited until the death of Emperor Han.
Later, when the prince Bian ascended the throne, He Jin and the Shi Changshi were fighting. In order to eliminate the Shi Changshi, he ordered all the princes to enter the pass and then came! And now the Han Emperor is not dead yet, why did Dong Zhuo come to the head?
Yangshan is here? It’s not that far away from Luoyang! Luoyang quickly stood up, stepped forward to grab Gongdu, and asked, "Did you read that right? Is it really Dong Zhuo's army?"
"That's right!" Gong Du said through gritted teeth. Liu Pi on the side was also full of hatred. Obviously, the two of them still remembered the hatred of the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army prisoners who were killed by Dong Zhuo outside Nanyang City.
Gong Du said bitterly: "What we saw at that time was really that the leading general was the man named Niu Fu who was with Dong Zhuo back then! Fortunately, we reacted quickly and pulled all the troops up the mountain early.
That’s why we didn’t run into Dong Zhuo’s army!”
Since Gong Du said so, it must be that Dong Zhuo is not wrong! Luo Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the confusion in his heart, nodded, and continued to ask: "Then have you seen clearly, Dong Zhuo?
The size of the army?"
"See clearly!" Gong Du nodded immediately and replied: "Dong Zhuo has a lot of soldiers and horses. After a rough calculation by his subordinates, there are at least 50,000 people! And compared to the army around Dong Zhuo back then, it is definitely not
Inferior!"
What Gong Du was talking about was the Xiliang army beside Dong Zhuo that Luo Yang saw with him back then, a Xiliang army of more than 50,000 people! Luo Yang couldn't help but take a breath. Over the years, he had often paid attention to Dong Zhuo's news in Luoyang.
, knowing that since he followed Huang Pusong to attack the kingdom last year, he had stationed troops in Fufeng with his troops. Huang Pusong and the court had sent people to ask him for military power, but Dong Zhuo refused to give it. Now it is
Fifty thousand Xiliang troops were gathered together and rushed to Shouyang Mountain. This shows that Dong Zhuo did not have good intentions!
"What's next?" Luo Yang thought for a moment and then continued to ask, "If we just encountered Dong Zhuo's army, it wouldn't have been delayed for so long, right? What on earth did you do to delay it for so long?
?”
Hearing Luo Yang ask this question, Gong Du showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and looked at Liu Pi. Unfortunately, Liu Pi had just been silenced by Luo Yang, so he could only nod helplessly, while Gong Du
Gritting his teeth, he clasped his fists at Luo Yang and said, "My lord, please forgive me! When my subordinates saw Dong Zhuo, they really couldn't hold it back, so they decided to attack Dong Zhuo's army without permission, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo!"
Luo Yang sighed. In fact, after hearing Gong Du talk about their encounter with Dong Zhuo, Luo Yang guessed that Liu Pi and Gong Du must have gone to sneak attack Dong Zhuo. With the temperament of these two people and their hatred for Dong Zhuo,
At that time, it was only to avenge Dong Zhuo that he was willing to join Luo Yang's tent. Now that he saw Dong Zhuo and had troops at hand, how could he remain indifferent?
At this moment, Liu Pi didn't care about the gag order Luo Yang had just given him. He even clasped his fists and said, "Master! This matter was not decided by Gong Du, but by his subordinates! Gong Du also dissuaded his subordinates with words at that time.
Your Majesty, it’s just that my subordinate was blinded by hatred and didn’t listen! If the Lord wants to punish, he should punish his subordinate!”
Liu Pi's words surprised Luo Yang. From Liu Pi's words, Luo Yang could tell that Liu Pi was not lying. He originally thought that Liu Pi was calmer and smarter than Gong Du, so Luo Yang made the commander-in-chief of the army.
I left it to Liu Pi. Unexpectedly, it was Liu Pi who lost his temper first, but Gong Du was able to remain calm.
Glancing at Gong Du, who was about to take responsibility for himself, Luo Yang immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay! Stop talking! I said I won't punish you, so I will never talk back! Besides, I
I don’t think there is anything wrong with your choice! Dong Zhuo is our enemy. We have already decided this from outside Nanyang City! You encountered the enemy and sent troops to meet the enemy. What is wrong with this? I am concerned about you now
Whose responsibility is it? What I care about is the outcome of your battle! Okay! Liu Pi! Let me do it this time!"
Hearing what Luo Yang said, both Liu Pi and Gong couldn't help but be startled. They had agreed with Luo Yang back then that all matters of revenge would be subject to Luo Yang. Now they went to attack Dong Zhuo without authorization and delayed their arrival.
time in Luoyang, which in itself was a violation of their agreement with Luo Yang. They were already prepared to be punished, but they didn't expect Luo Yang to answer like this. The two looked at each other and both showed a wry smile.
, along the way, they were still uneasy in their hearts, but now, all their worries were in vain.
As for Luo Yang's question, Liu Pi also replied with a wry smile: "Speaking of this result, I still have to apologize to my lord! We have embarrassed you, lord!"
When Liu Pi said his last words, Luo Yang knew that the battle must be lost, but this was also what Luo Yang expected. If Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was so easy to fight, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo wouldn't be able to make such a big breakthrough later.
Luo Yang was concerned about how Liu Pi and Gong Du were defeated and how much they lost. However, there was no need for Luo Yang to ask. Liu Pi also said consciously: "At that time, after we decided to attack Dong Zhuo in a sneak attack, we were not in a hurry.
Let's take action! Shouyang Mountain is not a good ambush location, so we followed Dong Zhuo's army carefully all the way, looking for the right time to take action! Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's army did not continue eastward after passing Shouyang Mountain.
Instead, we changed our direction and headed north. Later, we sent a few careful sergeants to sneak into Dong Zhuo's army and found out the purpose of Dong Zhuo's army's trip, which was to go to Hedong!"
"Hedong?" Luo Yang couldn't help but frown. Even though he stopped Liu Pi first, he quickly walked to the bookshelf next to him, pulled out a scroll, and spread it out directly on the table. It was a copy.
The map marked Yongzhou, Yanzhou and Bingzhou. Luo Yang stretched out his finger to search slowly on the map, but first found the Shouyang Mountain that Liu Pi and Gong Du mentioned just now, and then moved directly up.
Discovered the Hedong County that Liu Pi was referring to!
"This Hedong County is not simple! It can be said to be the junction of Bingzhou, Yongzhou and Yanzhou, and it can also be said to be the gateway to Bingzhou and Yongzhou from the Central Plains! The most important thing is that this Hedong County is so close to Luoyang! To start from Hedong
The county has rushed to Luoyang. If you hurry up, it will only take seven days! Dong Zhuo brought his army here, and it turns out that the people who came here are evil!" Luo Yang carefully observed the location of Hedong County, but sighed and sighed.
Luo Yang's words made Liu Pi and Gong both curious. When they walked in front of Luo Yang, they both lowered their heads and looked at the map. Sure enough, the location of Hedong County was just as Luo Yang said, it was very subtle! Luo Yang
He sighed with emotion. Just by looking at the map, Luo Yang guessed Dong Zhuo's intention of garrisoning in Hedong, but he couldn't do anything about Dong Zhuo. He raised his head and Luo Yang continued to say to Liu Pi: "Then what's next, you
How did you deal with it?"
Only then did Liu Pi remember that he seemed to have not finished his answer to Luo Yang, so he immediately continued: "Then Hedong County is not far from Shouyang Mountain. After my subordinates learned the news at that time, Dong Zhuo's army was also not far from Hedong County.
There were only two days to go! With no other choice, my subordinates made hasty preparations and decided to launch a night attack on Dong Zhuo's army!"
Luo Yang nodded. Although Liu Pi said that he sent troops in a hurry, Luo Yang was very satisfied with Liu Pi's decision to hold back temporarily and wait for the opportunity from the beginning. The hasty preparations that Liu Pi just mentioned were probably just
These are just words of humility. I believe Liu Pi would not have blindly taken action if he had not seen a good opportunity.
Liu Pi continued to describe the situation at that time: "That night, Gong Du and I divided our troops. I first led a small group of people and sneaked around to the north of Dong Zhuo during the night to launch an attack. After attracting Dong Zhuo's men, Gong Du
Then I led the army to attack Dong Zhuo's army from the rear! After the appointed time, I led my troops, horses, and torches to launch a sneak attack on Dong Zhuo's military camp! Of course, the main thing was to throw the torch into Dong Zhuo's military camp and light it up.
Tent. Although Dong Zhuo's army was suddenly attacked by me, there was not much confusion, and they did not rush out of the military camp as I had imagined before. Instead, they fired arrows at us directly at the entrance of the military camp!"
Gong Du on the side continued: "At that time, as agreed, I led the army to attack Dong Zhuo's camp after seeing the fire in Dong Zhuo's camp. Unexpectedly, it was not as easy as imagined. Although Dong Zhuo's army
He was surprised by our appearance, but he did not lose his position. On the contrary, he quickly organized a favorable counterattack! Liu Pi and I fought for a while and immediately felt that the battle was unwinnable, so we immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops.
!Fortunately, Dong Zhuo’s army did not pursue us!”
Luo Yang's brows couldn't help but frown. To be honest, when Liu Pi talked about their previous strategy, Luo Yang secretly cheered. This shows that both Liu Pi and Gong were not dazzled by hatred. But what happened next?
Liu Pi's description made Luo Yang think. According to Liu Pi, Dong Zhuo's army was able to remain calm in the face of danger. This proved that Dong Zhuo's generals were extraordinary! Thinking of this, two things popped up in Luo Yang's mind.
