Chapter 283: Swinging to Luo

Chapter 283: Commanding the troops to Luo

There is an old saying in later generations, "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang". Nowadays, compared with the Central Plains, the former is still a wild land, while Beimang Mountain is already a world-famous burial place. Emperor Guangwu of the Five Emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty was originally

The mausoleum, the Gongling Mausoleum of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the Xianling Mausoleum of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, the Huailing Mausoleum of Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty, and the Wen Mausoleum of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who died just two years ago are all located here. There are countless princes, princes, and ministers, and there are hundreds of them with names and surnames.

Above, these tombs were all dug up by Lu Bu.

After hearing this, Xun Yu turned pale and angrily said: "Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, the national thieves are no different from the red eyebrows." At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the red eyebrow army invaded Chang'an, greedy for the prosperity of the capital, and military discipline was lax, and even went so far as to burn palaces and cities, and looted the emperor.

The mausoleum and even the city walls were all empty, with bones covering the fields. They were eventually destroyed by Emperor Guangwu and lost in the long river of history.

Xun Yu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and spoke to Gai Jun: "Dong Zhuo, although Lv Bu gained a small benefit from this move, it will eliminate himself from the world. From ancient times to the present, there is no one who can't be destroyed like this.

The general can quickly raise the banner, cross the river, kill the national traitors, and then restore the tombs and repair the ancestral temple, so that all the people in the country will return home..."

Gai Jun's heart was pounding...

Historically, Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo and worshiped the emperors. He won the hearts of the people in one fell swoop and won the reputation of loyalty and martyrdom. This made up for the evil deeds of killing Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang. Although he died soon, he still benefited Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce.

When Gai Jun was a boy, he shot a tiger to save his father. He was a filial piety and was known for his bravery. He also offered a plan to destroy locusts. He was also known for his wisdom and benevolence. He was not afraid of the power and escorted Cai Yong to Shuo Fang. He was brave and righteous. He was entrusted by his friends to help the corpse return home and show his trust.

His moral level is perfect, and there is not a single flaw. When he reaches adulthood, he has conquered the world and made countless military exploits. Everyone from all over the world is grateful for his gratitude, but there are regrets. For example, he had a dispute with the late Liangzhou governor and his boss Geng Bi, and he could not escape.

The evaluation of "the following is against the superior". When Dong Zhuo entered the capital and led his troops to intimidate, the reputation was mixed. Later, Geng Zhi, the general who saved the Liao Dynasty, died, suppressed the Guo family in Jinyang, sent troops to Jizhou, etc...

The people in Hanoi avoided Bingzhou not because they wanted to seek refuge with Gai Jun. Yuan Shao was the one worthy of seeking refuge. This was the case with Hanoi celebrities Zhang Dao, Zhu Han, Liu Xun and others. The people in Hanoi went to Bingzhou because of its strong military force, and no one dared to do so.

If you commit crimes, there will be peace. Yang Jun, the crowned young scholar, saw that Gai Jun had the heart to balance the local scholars in Bingzhou, and Hanoi people could quickly occupy a place, so he recommended people to become officials. Gai Jun served as envoys to Zhang Fan and Zhang Cheng brothers

Going out to help is half forced.

There may be causes for all of this.

Hedong and Hanoi are rich and prosperous, and the nine counties of Bingzhou are not as good as each other. Gai Jun appointed Zang Hong, who presided over the Jujube Alliance, as the governor of Hedong. He even now wants to use his boss Bo Yangjun as the chief minister of Hanoi to preside over county affairs instead of placing cronies.

He just wanted to use the two of them to capture the hearts of the people.

Entering the imperial capital to defend the country will undoubtedly be of great help to his reputation. Moreover, it will also be profitable. Not to mention the status of the capital Luoyang in the hearts of the people in the world and the hundreds of thousands of people in Henan. People in the Han Dynasty believed in death.

After the soul is immortal, it will continue to live in another world, that is, "death is like life". Therefore, from the emperor to the common people, it is popular to bury them richly. Some even sell their houses and land to build tombs. The tombs of emperors, princes and ministers are full

Such as eating utensils, food and wine, birds, beasts, fish and insects, musical instruments and weapons, these are of little use to living people. What living people value more is playing with pearls, jade, money and property...

Here are buried powerful figures from the Eastern Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. Even if Gai Jun makes the most conservative estimate, the value of the buried objects will not be less than the two-year tax revenue of the Han Dynasty. The annual tax revenue of the Han Dynasty is about six billion yuan.

That’s more than 10 billion in two years.

Gaining fame and fortune, such good things are not easy to come by. Gai Jun looked at Jia Xu and asked, "What do Wen He think?"

Jia Xu looked at his face and knew that he had made up his mind, so he said: "What Xun Sima said is reasonable. We should send troops to Luo."

Gai Jun asked again: "When will we send out troops?"

"The sooner, the better." Although Xun Yu and Jia Xu said the same thing, their thoughts were completely different. The former focused on the country and built his reputation first, but the latter knew the details of Bingzhou and knew that Gai Jun was in urgent need of Zhuling's money to relieve his difficulties.

Gai Jun nodded, and then ordered the coachman to drive all night long. The carriage was pulled by several horses. If he spared no effort in horse power, he could run faster than the horse. By the afternoon of the next day, he had traveled hundreds of miles and arrived in Huai County, where the governor of Hanoi was.

"General..." After receiving the news, General Huang Zhong, the lieutenant general of the Dian Army, came out of the city to greet him.

Gai Jun got out of the carriage, suppressed his physical discomfort, and asked impatiently: "Is the army ready?" Nearly 30,000 people left Yecheng with him, and all 7,000 cavalry arrived in Huai County, but the infantry left.

It was very slow, especially when Gongsun Zan surrendered tens of thousands of troops. He felt that the way forward was bleak and morale was low. He could not walk dozens of miles a day. There are still many people who have not yet entered Hanoi. Therefore, Gai Jun planned to use Hanoi's troops as a

Before this battle, the striker...

"Twenty thousand soldiers are ready to go, just waiting for the general's order." Huang Zhong answered with clasped fists. Gaijun's Hanoi side originally had 10,000 infantry and cavalry. Not long ago, Huang Zhong was ordered to annex Mengjin's Jizhou to engage in Zhao Fu. Cheng Huan had tens of thousands of elite troops.

Halberds, crossbowmen, and thousands of Hanoi soldiers were guarding the place, but they were of no use.

It was obvious that Huang Zhong had included the Jizhou soldiers. Gai Jun couldn't help but wonder: "Can the newly surrendered Zhao soldiers be used? Don't want to be defeated in front of the formation, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss..."

Huang Zhong said calmly: "When the soldiers heard about Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's rebellion, they were all indignant, and they all wanted to fight to get rid of the thieves."

Since Huang Zhong was so confident, Gai Jun let him go. After some discussions with Jia Xu and Xun Yu, they decided on a strategy and adopted night attack tactics. The troops were divided into two groups. The attack on Pingjin, a small town, was in vain and the purpose was to involve others.

Keep your troops in check and move out of Henan to Yangjin. Once you capture Pingyin Ferry on the south bank, immediately go south, go straight to Gucheng and the two counties of Henan, cut off the connection between Luoyang (Lü Bu) and Hangu Pass (Dong Zhuo), and look for opportunities to encircle and annihilate Lü Bu.

department.

Late at night, Hu Feng led 3,000 people and set out from Mengjin on hundreds of boats.

Xiao* Pingjin is not only an important Yellow River crossing in the north of Luoyang, but also an important place for protecting the capital.

In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans broke out. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was greatly frightened, fearing that the moth thieves would invade Luoyang. He appointed Henan Yin Hejin as the general, and stationed the left and right Yulin troops and the five colonels in Duting Pavilion to control Kyoto;

He stationed himself at Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dugu, Fuyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin around Luoyang to protect the capital.

Xiao* Pingjin is one of the eight passes of Luoyang. It has always gathered heavy troops. Later, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Guandong rose up, Yuan Shao, and Gai Jun invaded Hanoi one after another. Dong Zhuo paid more attention to this place, and the number of permanent troops was once as high as tens of thousands. Now Dong Zhuo has withdrawn from Luoyang.

Yang, and entered Hangu Pass in Hongnong County in the west. There were still 4,000 people stationed in Xiaopingjin.

This is the reason why Gai Jun, Xun Yu and Jia Xu did not choose it as their main attack.

Excavation of the tombs of emperors and ministers is, after all, a very disgraceful thing. Dong Jun of Pingjin was extremely wary of the troops building troops on the north bank. Although he did not mention it during the day, he also sent many red horses to explore the ship at night. Hu Feng's troops were captured halfway through the crossing.

Discover.

Hu Feng was not in a hurry and ordered the boat to speed up.

Sergeant Dong was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard that Gai's army was attacking at night, and he was in panic.

Xiao*Pingjin Guanduwei is Dong Yi, a son of the Dong Zhuo clan. He has been with Dong Zhuo for more than ten years. He has neither made any great achievements nor made any big mistakes. Generally speaking, a mediocre person is better than

Loyal enough to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Yi was awakened from his dream and learned that Gai's army was attacking. He frowned slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to retreat to Guanzhong after staying for a few more days. He originally thought that there would be no chance of a conflict with Gai's army...

Dong Yi did not panic. Crossing the river was already a strenuous task, and it was still nighttime. He expected that the other party would only have a few thousand men. He had four thousand elite soldiers under his command, so there was nothing to be afraid of. He immediately dispatched his personal guards who had experienced battles on the battlefield.

At the front, he stayed in the main camp to collect soldiers and sent them to the front line in batches. During the break, he sent quick horses to notify Pingyin and Luoyang.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow..."

In the dark night, rockets soared into the sky with roaring sounds, like shooting stars, shining beautifully.

"Whoops..." A stray arrow flew past the side of Hu Feng's pocket, and then there was a muffled sound. One of the guards fell to the deck. Fortunately, his armor was complete and his life was not in danger. Hu Feng ordered his men to kill him.

He was carried into the ship for treatment, and his eyes turned back to the battlefield again.

The speed of Dong Jun's reaction was beyond his expectation. Fortunately, he was just bluffing, otherwise how many people would have died if he chewed this bone...

Dong Yi, the junior captain of Pingjin Pass, was mediocre in talent, while Wang Fang, the commander of Pingyindu, had a reputation for bravery and was one of Dong Zhuo's most generals. What is puzzling is that the two men performed completely opposite in the face of a night attack, and Dong Yi handled it appropriately.

, but Wang Fang was bullied by Gai's army ship and came within a few dozen feet before he could react. Gai's character made Dong Yi cautious, while Wang Fang's recklessness, recklessness, and alcoholism led to this disaster.

This battle is already destined to end before it even begins.

"咻...咻...咻..." Gai's warship quickly rushed to the ferry. Countless long arrows flew out from the ship. The sky was dark and it was difficult to see clearly. Dong Jun's officers and men were swept to the ground like puppets.

.

After three rounds of arrows, Huang Zhong jumped off the deck first and fell into the river. He raised his halberd and shouted. Sergeant Gai was excited and jumped into the river one after another. After Huang Zhong, he waded into the water and climbed to the ferry. The soldiers on both sides waved their swords and swords and started a fierce fight.

kill.

The number of Dong's soldiers on the shore was small, scattered and out of scale, and they were likely to collapse in a moment.

The king made a big mistake, and he was filled with regrets, which aroused his bravery. He said to his troops: "It is my fault that we are in such a dangerous situation. Now that the enemy is approaching, I have no courage to retreat. I can only risk my life and fight, and it will be done naturally."

Everything is fine. If it doesn't work out, it will just be a dead ear. It can be regarded as repaying the Taishi's kindness for more than ten years. What do you think?"

"I am willing to fight to the death." Hundreds of people shouted in unison, impassioned and looking forward to death.

"Good brother" Wang Fang was not equipped with a shield. He held a long knife in both hands and led everyone to the ferry.

Dong's army's defense line was already in dilapidated condition and was in disarray. Dong's soldiers all wanted to retreat, but when they saw reinforcements arriving, they froze and hesitated.

The king did not stop, passed through the scattered soldiers, and rushed into the army. He slashed left and right with his swords. Every time he took a step forward, one or two people would fall to the ground. He rushed out more than ten steps and was killed by him.

There were more than twenty of them. However, he wielded two swords and only attacked but not defended. In just a short time, he was hit by several swords and spears. Even though he was wearing double armor, he could not survive. His whole body was dripping with blood, like a fierce ghost. All Wang Fang's troops were killed.

The crazy attack suppressed Gai Jun's indomitable momentum.

"Huh?..." Huang Zhong thought that the overall situation was decided, so he retreated to the rear to catch his breath, not wanting to cause any accidents. Looking through the dim light of the fire, he saw a majestic Dong general rushing towards and killing his own soldiers.

Treated like a child.

"Wang Fang?..." It seems that such a brave person must not be an unknown person, and the identity of the other party is not difficult to guess.

Huang Zhong tightened his hand on a pair of eighty-pound halberds, crushed the ground with the soles of his feet, and leaped ten feet away. He was running like a fierce horse, with a strong wind blowing from his body, roaring towards him, and swung his halberd to sweep away a man who didn't know whether to live or die in front of him.

Sergeant Dong's soldiers stabbed Wang Fang's head like thunder, and shouted: "Wang Fang, the dog thief, shall die——"

Wang Fang began to follow Dong Zhuo to conquer the four directions when he was a teenager. Now it has been more than 20 years. Regardless of whether he fights on foot or on horseback, his fighting experience will only be more than that of Huang Zhong, not less. Wang Fang roared angrily and raised his sword with his right hand.

He chopped it into a twig of the halberd to block the momentum of the halberd, and forced Huang Zhong to grow the halberd. He rushed forward with a lunge and slashed at Huang Zhong's face with the knife in his left hand.

Huang Zhong quickly pulled out the light-concentrating sword from his waist with his left hand, and swung it upwards. There was a loud "clang" sound, and a string of sparks burst out from between the two blades. Huang Zhong failed to use his full strength in his haste, so he suffered a slight loss and stepped back.

Two steps forward, facing Wang Fang's pressing attack, with a calm look on his face, he took a halberd with his right hand, dragged it back, and slashed at Wang Fang's back.

Wang Fang felt the wind behind his head and did not care about pursuing Huang Zhong. He hurriedly bent down to avoid the big halberd.

Huang Zhong regained his disadvantage with one move, and the big halberd stabbed him directly.

Wang Fang looked helpless as he looked at the halberd that was reaching his chest like lightning. He knew that the opponent wanted to force him back, so as to distance himself and take advantage of the halberd's length, but he had no choice but to follow the opponent's wishes. From this, you can guess

It turns out that Huang Zhong's martial arts skills are definitely above him. However, in a battlefield fight, the person with higher martial arts skills may not win. There are too many factors that affect the outcome.

When Bu Qu saw Wang Fang, he jumped back, as if he had suffered a loss from his weapon. He immediately threw out the long thorn in his hand. Wang Fang was about to abandon the sword and pick up the thorn, but Huang Zhong fought to kill the two of them. The euphorbia came again, and when the halberd flew away, the halberd flew away.

The branch hooked Wang Fang's left shoulder, and a bloody light suddenly appeared.

Wang Fang was involuntarily dragged forward by the halberd. He was so angry that he swung the knife with his right arm and beheaded him.

Huang Zhong blocked it with concentrated light, pulled back the big halberd, and struck Wang Fang's left calf.

Wang Fang knelt down on his left knee and rolled sideways to avoid Huang Zhong's vertical slash. At this time, the victory was decided and there was no need to fight anymore. However, Wang Fang had a death wish and no intention of retreating, so he raised his blade and killed two people.

Sergeant Gai, who was trying to take advantage, limped and howled and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

"Kill -" Huang Zhong shouted loudly, and it exploded in the void like a muffled thunder. He swung his halberd horizontally, and among the lightning and flint, three heads flew into the sky with the blood rapidly rising. Among them, the one with the most ferocious face was the one with the most ferocious face.

Wang Fang.

The leader of Dong's army died. Except for a few troops who were not afraid of death, the rest dispersed. Gai's soldiers chased and slashed and killed them. When thousands of Dong's troops arrived at the ferry, they saw that their own side was weak and heard that their leader, Wang Fang, had been killed.

Kill him, immediately turn around and run away.

Wang Fang's bravery bought valuable time for Dong's soldiers, but it was his death that made Dong's soldiers have no fighting spirit. In the end, their efforts were in vain...

Huang Zhong captured the ferry and immediately led his troops to attack Dong Jun's camp.

Gai Jun, who was in Yangjin on the north bank of the river, was overjoyed when he heard that Huang Zhong had captured Pingyin Ferry. He immediately organized a fleet to send the first batch of more than a thousand cavalry across the river. This cavalry force was Shehu Camp, Luodiao Camp, and Gai Jun's headquarters.

Among the men and horses, only the Second Battalion directly participated in the battle. When Pound arrived on the opposite side, he immediately went south non-stop, running more than fifty miles overnight, and entered Gucheng County.

Gai Jun had an agreement with Dong Zhuo last year that the capital could be moved, but the Yin people of Henan were not allowed to be forcibly moved. Dong Zhuo appeared to compromise, but he played a trick and moved hundreds of thousands of people from Luoyang City, picking up Gucheng and two counties in Henan along the way.

What was even more outrageous was setting a fire and burning the two county towns to ashes...

At this time, there was no cockcrow in Gucheng for hundreds of miles, and the people were all alone.

Before Pang De had time to realize that Dong Zhuo was responsible for the disaster, he encountered a convoy of dozens of large vehicles. Pang De narrowed his eyes slightly. Most of them were filled with tomb belongings. He quietly made a gesture, and the soldiers of the second battalion

They rode up on horseback, surrounded the convoy, and pitted the world's elite against the scattered cavalry civilians. There was no suspense about the outcome. Those who surrounded the rear also hunted down all the fish that slipped through the net.

Pound dismounted and walked to a large cart. He opened it and almost blinded his eyes. Everything he saw was filled with golden gold. Even though Pound was strong-willed and mentally prepared, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. What's more,

Other soldiers.

Pound closed the hood of the car and checked the other cars. They all contained gold, treasures, and money of immeasurable value. He said to the officers and soldiers around him with a serious face: "For this great achievement, the general will never miss our share."

, don’t let your mind wander.”

The soldiers looked eager and struggling, but they were not saints. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Pound was debating whether he should transport it away immediately or stay here, when he suddenly heard that someone was hiding gold.

Bao Chu, who was in charge of Shehuying, looked embarrassed. The gold thief was one of his subordinates.

Pang De looked at the gold thief expressionlessly, and the murderous aura around him seemed to be substantial.

This man's name was Cheng Zhao. He was tall and majestic, with a lion's nose and a tiger's forehead. He was the third auxiliary of Zuo Feng Yi. In the second year of Zhongping, that is, Gai Jun established the Shehu and Luodiao second battalions.

In order to suppress the rebellion in Western Xinjiang, he stationed himself in the territory of Zuo Fengyi. Due to the heavy casualties of soldiers during the Yellow Turban era, Gai Yin added 600 Han Qiang good horsemen and archers to Zuo Fengyi. Cheng Zhao joined in at that time. His men fought bravely.

, made many military exploits, and gradually climbed from an ordinary soldier to the position of commander of the village, and was awarded the rank of military marquis, which was worth six hundred stones.

Not long ago, in the battle with Gongsun Zan, one of the three military lords (with the rank of Sima) in Shehu Camp died in the battle. Pound also intended to recommend him as a military lord, but he never expected that this boy would be so promising as to steal gold.

"You can do it, you..." Pang De laughed angrily, and slapped his face with a whip. While lashing him, he cursed: "I told you not to move, but you still move and treat me as a fart, right?"

Both Bao Chu and Cheng Zhao, who were standing aside and covering their faces and howling, breathed a sigh of relief. Since Pang De's whipping meant that he would not kill people with a knife, his life was saved...

Pound would have been angry and killed him directly, but he couldn't bear to let him attack Cheng Zhao. This guy is a good material. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be able to climb to the position of general in the future. He died for such a trivial matter.

What a pity.

Pound beat Cheng Zhao until his skin was torn, and then he calmed down, put away his whip, and walked away with a cold grunt.

"Zhonglang, another convoy is coming..."
