When Cai Xiao saw someone ascending to the top of the city, he didn't know where he got the courage. He picked up a spear and stabbed Hu Che'er. These children of wealthy families also had to practice literature and martial arts since they were young. Cai Xiao also
After serving as a captain in the Xiangyang Army for a few days, he was also able to show off his skills and embroider his legs a few times. Unfortunately, these boys were used to having fun and rarely worked hard in this area. The spear he thrust out was full of flaws in Hu Che'er's eyes.
Hu Che'er sneered secretly, dodged slightly, and knocked the back of the knife. Cai Xiao couldn't hold the spear in his hand and flew into the air. Hu Che took a step forward and slashed with the knife. Cai Xiao rolled on the spot in panic.
, there was already a knife on his left shoulder, and he was bleeding profusely.
Seeing that the county magistrate was injured, more than a dozen garrison soldiers around him waved their swords and guns desperately to block Cai Xiao. Cai Xiao rolled and crawled to the side, looking very embarrassed. When he looked up again, the dozen or so soldiers
Most of the soldiers had been cut down by Hu Che'er, who was rushing towards him with murderous intent. Cai Xiao knew that he would definitely die today, but he was unwilling to be captured like this. He had already been looked down upon by Wang Yan back then, and he didn't want to spend the rest of his life
Even if he dies, he will die like a hero.
Hu Che'er knew that Cai Xiao must be the leader in this county, so he chopped down two more soldiers in front of him, and pushed towards Cai Xiao step by step. However, he saw that Cai Xiao was covered in blood, with a ferocious face, and was attacking him with his bare hands.
I rushed towards him, but I was shocked by his actions and was stunned for a moment.
At the moment when Hu Che'er was stunned, he heard a "whoosh" sound piercing the air, and an arrow shot out like lightning, hitting Hu Che'er's throat. The arrow was so powerful that it actually hit Hu Che'er's throat.
The body was carried straight back, bumped against the battlements, and fell down the city. This famous warrior who had harmed Dian Wei in history died without even having time to hum.
I saw a white-robed general at the bottom of the city. He slowly lowered his strong bow and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill!" Thousands of horses galloped forward and rushed towards Zhang Ji's army who was attacking the city. Before anyone arrived, the arrows were fired.
When they arrived, they had already shot down a large number of the soldiers attacking the city, and the army under the city was immediately in chaos.
Zhang Ji saw Hu Che'er ascending to the top of the city from behind and chopped down the defenders on the top of the city. He felt relaxed and was feeling proud of himself. Suddenly he saw Hu Che'er leaning back and jumping from the top of the city.
He fell down, and his brains burst out all over the ground. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers attacking the city retreated like a tide. No matter how hard the officers drank, they couldn't stop it. There was a huge smoke and dust on both sides of the county town, and the two groups of cavalry separated.
Lu rushed over to fight, but he didn't know how many troops the opponent had.
Zhang Xiu saw the opportunity quickly and shouted: "No! The enemy's reinforcements are coming, uncle, retreat quickly!"
Zhang Ji also knew that nothing could be done today, so he turned his horse's head and shouted: "Retreat!"
Following his order, more than 100,000 troops turned around and left in a chaotic manner. His subordinates were all infantry. How could they outrun the four-legged horses? Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry were divided into two groups and had already charged into Zhang Ji's army.
In the middle, the knights on horseback abandoned their bows and arrows, brandished sharp sabers, and cut down everyone they encountered.
Zhang Ji's subordinates were originally composed of the old Luoyang army with lax military discipline and untrained new recruits. When had they ever seen such a battle, they abandoned their helmets and armor, fled, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties. At this time,
.
, but it did not stop them from shouting and cheering on the top of the city. The drums were beating loudly and the killing sound was loud. Zhang Ji's soldiers only hated their parents for having two legs, and they had no choice but to kneel down and surrender.
Zhao Yun led his troops to cover up the killings until they reached the gate of Wuguan City before gathering their troops and horses. They set up a camp in front of the pass and faced Dong Zhuo's army in Wuguan Pass. Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew had already escaped to the pass, and the men and horses were counted.
Less than 50,000. However, most of the siege equipment in the Jingzhou army had been transported to the Sanguan front line. Zhao Yun had not received an order to attack Wuguan, so he could not order a strong attack. He just scolded and challenged in front of the pass. Zhang Ji had already
He was so exhausted that he still dared to go out to meet the enemy. However, Zhang Xiu was young and vigorous. He wanted to go down to the pass to compete with Zhao Yun several times, but was stopped by Zhang Ji.
In this battle, a total of more than 30,000 people were beheaded and 60,000 prisoners were taken. Most of the captured soldiers were young and strong civilians who had just been recruited by Dong Zhuo. Many of them were sent before they even knew how to use their weapons.
How could such an army be undefeated on the battlefield? However, the military and civilian losses in Champion County were also very heavy. There were tens of thousands of casualties. Even the county magistrate Cai Xiao was seriously injured and fell into a coma. If Zhao Yun had not arrived in time, Champion County would have been destroyed.
Lost.
Naturally, the fact that Zhang Ji and Lu Bu led their troops to leave Chang'an City could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Wang Yun and others. Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, Yang Qi and others gathered at Wang Yun's house to discuss countermeasures, and Yang Feng, the old military academy captain in Luoyang,
Also on the list.
Wang Yun looked at everyone and said: "The armies in Chang'an City have been mobilized one after another. It is obvious that the war in Sanguan is tense. According to the latest news I got, even Dong Zhuo's personal bodyguard Feixiong Army was dispatched this time. And I heard that Lu Bu and Zhang Ji were both mobilized.
After leaving Wuguan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to escort the emperor back to Luoyang, what do you think?"
Dong Cheng and others' eyes never left Yang Feng, and they were hesitant to speak.
Yang Feng said with a smile: "My lords, please don't worry about Yang. Yang has decided to advance and retreat with you all without any second thoughts. Please rest assured."
Wang Yun also said with a smile: "General Yang is loyal to the emperor. Don't have any doubts. Otherwise, how could Wang dare to let General Yang sit here for such an important matter? The 50,000 Luoyang troops who stayed in Chang'an City are all with General Yang."
Under our control, the person guarding Hangu Pass is General Yang's old subordinate Song Guosong. With General Yang's help, what do you have to worry about?"
In order to bribe Yang Feng, Wang Yun spent a lot of money. First, there was a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet every five days to win over his feelings. Then a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were sent to Yang Feng's house, and even the set he bought in exchange for Diao Chan.
The exquisite white porcelain was also given away, as well as the five or six beautiful singers raised in the palace. These were not enough. Finally, Wang Yun promised that if the matter was successful, he would recommend Yang Feng to the position of three princes in the court, and then let Yang
Feng made up his mind to rebel against Dong Zhuo.
Although Dong Cheng believed Yang Feng, he still hesitated and said: "Luoyang is now under Cao Cao's control. Cao Cao..."
Wang Yun didn't wait for him to finish his words, waved his hand and said: "Master Dong, you are worried too much. When Cao Mengde was in Luoyang, he conspired with me to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Things were not harmonious, so he fled. I have concealed this matter for many years. Today,
I tell you to dispel your doubts that Mengde is also loyal to the emperor."
Yang Feng was fascinated by his official position. He stood up and said impassionedly: "Yang has 50,000 troops under his command. Together with the garrison at Hangu Pass, it is a large force. Even if Cao Cao has any conspiracy, he is not afraid of it."
For the sake of the royal family and the livelihood of the people of the world, these armies are willing to be shared by all of you. Dong Zhuo's war in Sanguan will not last for many days, and Liu Xin has not yet exerted all his strength. If Sanguan fails, not only will you, your lords,
Your future is not guaranteed, and even the position of the emperor is not guaranteed. Do you gentlemen have anything to hesitate about?"
These last few sentences really hit the mark. Who among the current officials doesn’t want to be a high-ranking official, especially Fu Wan, who only got to where he is today by virtue of his daughter marrying Liu Xie. If Liu Xie’s throne
If it is lost, then he is nothing.
Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces had relaxed, Wang Yun continued: "General Song of Hangu Pass has already agreed, and Mengde has also promised to send troops to respond. Now everything is ready, and all that is needed is the emperor's approval, and this matter will be handed over to
How about Fu Guozhang take care of it?"
What Fu Wan was most worried about was that his son-in-law would be overthrown from the throne, but he never considered that his son-in-law had always been just a puppet. What he was most worried about now was that Liu Xin invaded Chang'an, and when Wang Yun asked him to persuade
Liu Xie, of course, promised repeatedly.
After listening to Fu Wan's words, Liu Xie hesitated for a long time, took out a piece of paper from under the desk, handed it to Fu Wan, and said: "Abbott, this is the newspaper that the servants tried their best to get, and it contains Liu Xin's denunciation of me.
.Although Liu Xin said harshly, he also agreed. As long as I voluntarily give up the throne, he will ensure that my life is safe and my descendants will be prosperous. I have also thought about it. Instead of letting others manipulate me like this, it is better to be an idle prince. Let's
Wait here in Chang'an City. If Dong Zhuo wins, I will still be the puppet emperor. If Liu Xin wins, I will give him the throne. He is my uncle, and I will never kill everyone."
Fu Wan was shocked and turned pale, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are so confused! Since ancient times, there have been no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. If the emperor falls into the hands of other princes, he will not be able to regain his power, and he will eventually be able to turn around.
If the leeway falls into Liu Xin’s hands, I’m afraid he will die without a complete body!”
Liu Xie was already a little tempted when he saw Liu Xin's message, but after Fu's call, he hesitated again, and Queen Fu was by his side and couldn't stop crying, so he finally nodded and said
: "Everything depends on the father of the country."
When Cao Cao received a letter from Wang Yun in Puyang about escorting Liu Xie to Luoyang, he quickly summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss it. He was already keenly aware that this was a golden opportunity.
Xun Yu is now Cao Cao's number one adviser. He has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. Due to Dong Zhuo's chaos, Xun Yu first defected to Yuan Shao. Later, he saw that Yuan Shao was too strict at home and too taboo to achieve great things, so he wanted to switch to another party. Originally, Liu Xin also had a relationship with him.
After a chance encounter, Jingzhou was also a place he had considered to stay, but he heard that Liu Xin had issued an announcement not to recognize Liu Xie's status as emperor. Xun Yu was a smart man, and he could tell at a glance that Liu Xin had the ambition to usurp the throne.
Liu Xin's image in his eyes also plummeted, and he was reduced from a pillar of talent to a traitor to the Han Dynasty. At this time, Cao Cao regrouped in Dongjun and ordered people to come to invite him. Xun Yu and Cao Cao also had many contacts in Luoyang.
They got along very well and knew that Cao Cao was also a man of great talent and strategy, so he happily went.
When he heard that Cao Cao was going to welcome back Liu Xie, Xun Yu was in no mood to be excited. He leaned over and said, "My lord, this matter cannot be delayed, for fear that other princes will take advantage of it. We should order Luoyang to repair and clean the palace to welcome the emperor."
The counselor Mao Jie was also very excited. He raised his hands and said: "The Lord can serve the emperor and not be a minister. He cultivates and cultivates to accumulate military resources. Why worry about not succeeding in hegemony?"
The person at the bottom of the steps laughed loudly and said: "Xian Xiao, this is a very good thing to say, but why bother to accumulate military resources? If God doesn't take it, how can we wait for it?"
