But it was said that Chang'an was lost, so Lu Bu took advantage of Chang'an's initial defeat and the situation was chaotic. He led dozens of cavalry across the long street and fled south. Along the way, he collected the defeated soldiers and the rest of the Liao army. He got 800 soldiers and went straight into Weiyang Palace.
.
He did not want to enter the palace to protect the emperor and be a loyal minister. He was born in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, where Han and Hu people lived together. He was quite involved in the unruly style of the Hu people and did not have much thought of loyalty to the emperor. The reason why he entered the Weiyang Palace was for the purpose of serving the emperor.
War horses in the Chiyu Horse Garden.
A few days ago, he sent his general Hao Meng to garrison 300 soldiers in the Royal Horse Garden to guard the war horses, in order to be able to escape on horseback as soon as possible after Chang'an broke through. After all, no matter how fast two tui are,
, after all, it is not as good as four tui.
The 800 people under Lu Bu's command come from a variety of sources. They include the Bingzhou tribe who have followed him for several years, the Imperial Guards in the palace, and Dong Jun's old tribe... They have different origins, but they are not a mob. Without exception, they are all Han.
There is no reason why the elite among the elite cannot ride a horse. There are thousands of fine horses in the imperial horse garden. Lu Bu ordered his soldiers to go out of the south gate of Weiyang Palace and go straight to the Xi'an gate of Chang'an.
The Art of War says: The besieging division must be surrounded. The rebels attack Chang'an mainly from the north, west, and east directions, while the southern offensive is slightly weaker. Correspondingly, the number of defenders in the south of the city is also the smallest. When the defenders heard about Chang'an
The city was broken and dispersed. Compared with other directions that were still in the stage of war, the southern rebels were the fastest to rush into Chang'an City.
Seeing the rebels pouring in from Xi'an, Lu Bu was not surprised but happy. He didn't know how to open the city gate and break out, but the rebels did him a big favor. As long as he defeated the enemy in front of him, he could
Escaped successfully.
Lu Bu cheered up, waved his big halberd, and charged forward with his horse.
The rebels crowded in one after another and squeezed in along the city gate. They were all excited, their faces were red and their veins were bulging, and they were laughing and cursing wantonly, especially the generals affiliated with Dong Jun, Niu Fu, and Dong Yue had previously said that they would not break Chang'an and act as they pleased
.Not to mention the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty, which contained countless treasures. Just grabbing one of the official residences would be enough for hundreds of people to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.
The rebel soldiers seemed to see countless gold and silver treasures waving to them...
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…” The low and sad horn horn sound suddenly sounded, like a hurricane, quickly sweeping across the empty and lonely long street, and then, the roar of galloping horses came from far to near, and the whole earth was shaken.
Then trembled.
The rebels froze on the spot, staring stupidly at the roaring black armored cavalry. From their point of view, since Chang'an was broken, the Han army defending the city had no two choices, either to kneel down and surrender, and let them be slaughtered.
Either hide in the palace and defend until they die in battle. However, what did they see? It turned out to be a black armored cavalry charging straight towards them. The rebel soldiers were only thinking about how to kill people and loot, fearing that they would fall behind and rush towards them.
He was in a hurry and was extremely rambling and disorganized. He was not genuine at all. Faced with the ruthless impact of the cavalry, it can be imagined.
"Kill -" Lu Bu spurred his horse into gallop, and drew out his halberd like thunder. There was a series of harsh sounds of broken weapons and muffled sounds of broken bones. Four or five people vomited blood at the same time and flew out upside down. Lu Bu pulled the reins with his hands, and with his feet
Kicking the horse's belly, Red Rabbit is very human and understands the situation. It leaps into the air with all four hooves and leaps into the sky. Lu Bu uses the momentum to swing the halberd, and the four heads fly into the sky together, with blood flowing like a waterfall.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The horn sound became more and more urgent, and the Han army's cavalry was like a big iron spine, rushing into the rebels, slashing at the rebels with swords and stabbings, falling like rain, killing like crazy.
"Quick...quick...don't be entangled...don't be entangled..." Lu Bu shouted loudly and rushed to the forefront, leading the Han army's cavalry to charge all the way. The rebels retreated to both sides like cracks, unable to stop them at all.
The Han cavalry arrived at the Xi'an gate and encountered trouble. After all, the city gate was so big, and there were countless rebels inside and out. It was not easy to break through.
At this time, Lu Bu's role as an invincible general was revealed. He put his halberd on the side of the saddle, held a three hundred kilogram strong bow in his hand, and attached a wolf tooth arrow. A rebel at the gate of the city
The generals fell down in response.
Lu Bu had no intention of giving up. He fired several arrows in succession, targeting high-ranking rebel generals wearing fish-scale armor. The fish-scale armor was different from the iron armor worn by Han soldiers. The iron armor only had
There are more than a hundred pieces of armor, while fish scale armor is made up of hundreds of large and small iron scales. It is best at defending sharp weapons such as bows, arrows, and spears. However, Lu Bu is a magic shooter, specializing in picking out eye sockets, cheeks, and other sharp weapons.
When targeting the throat, there are no missed hits and no false starts.
Lu Bu shot and killed several rebel generals among the lightning and flints, and successfully caused the enemy to launch a coup. He put his bow in his bag, held the halberd again, and galloped to the city gate. The halberd flew up and down, drawing bloodthirsty arcs.
The thread, like the scythe of death, harvested the lives of the rebel soldiers.
Lü Bu's display of great power clearly inspired the Han army. Originally, the soldiers could not help but feel pessimistic when they saw the enemy in large numbers, but now they stopped thinking about it and followed Lü Bu, marching forward without hesitation, risking their lives and fighting with all their might.
Several rebel generals outside the city looked at each other. The other party definitely didn't want to fight with them to the death. Judging from the situation, they wanted to break out. One side seeks profit and the other side wants to live. There is no conflict of interest between the two sides, so why fight for life and death here?
It was completely unnecessary. Several people quickly reached a consensus and ordered the soldiers to clear a road and let the other party leave.
Lü Bu broke out of the siege and fled to the former site of Bowang Garden, which was the place where Emperor Shizong and the crown prince used to welcome guests. It is located five miles south of Chang'an. Lü Bu took a breather here and finally took a look at the "boiling" Chang'an.
He gritted his teeth and continued to flee south until he reached Xiashe, which was more than ten miles away. When he saw no rebel pursuers, he stopped to rest.
The number of people who stood out with Lu Bu this time totaled more than 550 people and nearly a thousand horses. It is no exaggeration to say that if another person was in command, he would never have been able to suffer such small casualties. Based on this alone, Lu Bu is enough to be proud of himself.
.
Lu Bu trusted the horse and looked sad. He was in a bad mood now, very bad. Just now, he watched helplessly as his general Song Xian fell off his horse and died. In addition, Li Feng was also missing. Outside Jinyang City, Lu Bu
Attacking the 100,000 Hu formation with a hundred cavalry was the battle that made him famous. Song Xian and Xue Lan were among the surviving warriors and the best among them. The two sides had a life-and-death friendship far beyond ordinary people. Their deaths had a profound impact on Lu Bu.
It's a big blow.
"General..." Zhang Liao rode up from behind, his young and handsome face full of exhaustion.
Lu Bu turned his head and said softly, "Yeah."
Zhang Liao was born in northern Xinjiang. He has the unique straightforwardness of border people. He doesn't like to hide his worries. He always talks about one thing and another. I just heard him say loudly: "Is the general really going to defect to Yuan Guangdu?"
"Wen Yuan is fine, why are you bringing this up again?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, looking displeased.
"In my opinion, it is better to surrender to Yuan Gugliu than to Gai Hussar." Zhang Liao said bluntly. Zhang Liao's relationship with Lu Bu is just like Guan Yu and Liu Bei in history. It is not a pure monarch-minister relationship, so Zhang Liao does not look at Lu Bu's face.
When Lu Bu heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Don't Wen Yuan know that there is a bad relationship between me and Gai Ying?"
Zhang Liao disapproved and said: "The general's discord with Gai Huqi is not for personal grudges, but for official business. Now that the rebels have gained power, Chang'an has fallen, the emperor is in danger, and Yuan Qiao has only a few soldiers. Even if we help him break through Wuguan,
What can he do? On the contrary, Gai Huqi led an army of more than 100,000 people to Beijing, which was less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an. He was the best choice to save the country."
Lu Bu sneered and said: "If I throw myself into Heshuo, I will be abandoned, but Wenyuan will be reused."
Lu Bu obviously had something in his words. Zhang Liao was so angry that his face turned red and he wanted to persuade him again. Lu Bu felt impatient and waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind. Wen Yuanwu persuades..."
"..."
--------------------------
When Lu Bu invaded Chang'an, almost all the men in Chang'an fell into the hands of the rebels, including Situ Wang Yun, Sili Colonel Huang Wan, Chengmen Colonel Zhong Ji, Guard Cui Lie, Yueqi Colonel Wang Qi, and Imperial Servant Lu Kui.
Dahong, Zhou Huan and others led their troops, routed their troops, and retreated to the streets of Chang'an, where they launched fierce street battles.
The rebels have been attacking Chang'an for many days. They have gone through hard work and accumulated a lot of grievances. Now that they have entered Chang'an, their eyes are scarlet and they kill everyone they meet. The people of Chang'an who had stayed away from the incident were inevitably affected and had to resist bravely. The war is about to turn around.
The whole city was filled with deafening shouts of killing and wailing everywhere, corpses covered the road, and blood flowed across the streets.
During the Battle of Hun, Sili Colonel Huang Wan and Yueqi Colonel Wang Xin fought hard and died. Their heads were cut off by the rebels and hung on their waists. They were left behind to ask for merit. Dahong Zhou Huan was pierced by thousands of arrows.
, and there were so many arrows in the face that it was almost impossible to distinguish them. The great Confucian Youfufeng, who was as famous as Ma Rixi and Shi Sunrui, and the imperial servant Lu Kui suffered several wounds, fled home, and shot him with fire, which was extremely tragic.
The rebels gathered more and more, and their methods became more and more bloody. In order to drive out the resisters, they set fires wildly. Situ Wang Yun, Chengmen Colonel Zhongji, Guard Cui Lie and others gradually lost support and withdrew into Weiyang Palace.
, prepare to make the final resistance.
North of Chang'an City, Hengmen.
Han Sui was riding on a Liangzhou horse that was all white and without a single streak of color. This horse was presented to him by the Baima Qiang from the Hehuang area at the beginning of this year. The Baima Qiang, as the name suggests, takes the white horse as their totem. They believe that the white horse is
, is a sacred symbol. Offering a white horse to Han Sui means that they are willing to respect Han Sui as their master and will never give up on him.
In fact, in Liangzhou, Han Sui was more popular with the Qiang and Hu people than the Han people. In fact, the Qiang and Hu people's requirements were very simple. As long as the crafty officials and cunning officials among the Han people did not bully and abuse them at will, they would prefer to live in peace.
Live a peaceful life instead of rebelling. After all, once the war starts, both sides will suffer, and it will be no good to anyone. If you treat it sincerely, they will be willing to repay you with their lives. Han Sui grew up in Huang
Zhong, knew the truth very well, and he knew very well that compared to the fickle Han people, the loyalty of the Qiang and Hu people was stronger. Over the past few years, he had repeatedly shown favors and won the hearts of the Qiang and Hu people.
Han Sui rode his horse into Hengmen, surrounded by dozens of Liangzhou civil and military officials. The military officials were headed by Yang Qiu, followed by Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Qu Sheng, Jiang Shi, Yan Xing and others. The civil servants were headed by Yan Zhong, a famous scholar from Hanyang.
Next, Han Sui became his sworn brother, Li Xiangru, a famous scholar from Jincheng, a famous scholar from Hanyang Kingdom, Huang Yan, a famous scholar from Longxi, and Cheng Gongying, a rising star from Jincheng.
There was another person with a thin figure, simple appearance, and a fluttering white beard, showing his unearthly appearance. Judging from his age, he was in his eighties. This person was none other than the world-renowned Jingzhao scholar Zhao Qi and Zhao Yiqing.
.
At the beginning of the Zhongping Dynasty, Gai Jun defeated the general Dong Zhuo and the general Zhou Shen, and Yu Youfeng defeated Han Sui and Bian Zhang, killing and capturing tens of thousands of people, forcing the arrogant Liangzhou rebels to retreat all the way back to Jincheng.
The situation was excellent. At that time, Zhao Qi was the chariot general Zhang Wen, and General He Jin appointed him as the governor of Dunhuang. Zhao Qi was loyal to state affairs, regardless of his age, and traveled thousands of miles to take office in Dunhuang. Later, when Han Sui became the third assistant, he
Zhao Qi Chijie led a total of 30,000 troops from the four counties of Hexi (Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang) and Lu Shuihu to sneak attack Jincheng and defeat them in a battle. However, when Han Sui returned with his army, the two armies faced each other, and Lu Shuihu
A sudden mutiny broke out, and under attack from both inside and outside, the entire Hexi army was wiped out, and Zhao Qi also became a prisoner of Han Sui's subordinates.
Zhao Qi had a strong character. No matter what methods Han Sui used, and even said that he would be the leader, he would not surrender. The second half of Zhao Qi's life was a tragedy. First, he had a conflict with Tang Xuan, Tang Heng's brother.
, so that his whole family was killed, Zhao Qi had no choice but to flee in all directions. He traveled all over the Kanto region and made a living by selling cakes. He hid in a wall for several years. After finally waiting until the Tang brothers died, Lingdi Chu encountered the disaster of the party.
, has been imprisoned for more than ten years. Therefore, the pain of imprisonment is really nothing to him.
However, regardless of whether Zhao Qi was willing or not, Han Sui decided to take him with him the moment he planned to send his troops to Beijing. Zhao Qi's reputation was too great, and he dared not say he was the best in the country, but in Kansai, he considered himself second.
No one dared to recognize the number one. Even Ma Rixi, the Taiwei who was the leader of the three princes in the dynasty, would obediently bow to him as a junior when he saw him.
Han Sui entered Chang'an City, dismounted from his horse, lightly stamped the ground with his right foot, feeling the weight of the capital's earth, took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, and said silently in his heart: "Brother, brother... look
Have you arrived? Enter the capital with your sword in hand, kill the emperor, and help the Han Dynasty. This was the ideal of you and me back then. Today, I, Han Wen, have finally reached our agreement! Facts have proved that when I killed you and killed the leaders of the Liangzhou army,
It was not a wrong decision..."
"Brother, do you know that the matter of killing you has been tormenting me for several years, making me unable to eat and sleep at night. Now, if this matter can no longer shake my heart, let all these grievances and hatreds go.
All disappeared..."
Han Sui stood on the long street, his back slightly thin, but at this moment, in the eyes of Liangzhou Civil and Military Affairs, he was extremely tall, like a giant, who needed to be looked up to.
Zhao Qi was not Han Sui's subordinate, so he did not have the same emotion as Liangzhou Civil and Military. He stared at Chang'an where blood flowed into the river, and he felt filled with grief and anger. His chest exploded for a few seconds, and his fingers trembled as he pointed to the purgatory distance, angrily scolding Han Sui.
: "Han Wenyue, you never admit that you are a traitor to the Han Dynasty, and you always consider yourself loyal and good, but look, look what you have done?! Do you want to destroy Chang'an and the country?
?!"
Zhao Qi's roar echoed over the long street, and there was deathly silence around him.
Han Sui slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Qi, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhao is a well-known scholar, and his knowledge is unparalleled in the world. He has the benevolence of a gentleman. If there is peace and prosperity, he will definitely be a model for a generation of famous ministers..." said
At this point, Han Sui shook his head slightly and continued: "However, Duke Zhao is not a savior. Now the world is in trouble, clouds are everywhere, the court is declining, and benevolence is useless. What we need now is grace and prestige!"
How can you plan for a big event without bleeding blood?".
Zhao Qi angrily shouted: "False, fallacy..."
"..." Han Sui frowned slightly. If he wanted to uphold state affairs, he would inevitably encounter opposition from countless people, both covert and covert. Dong Zhuo was a lesson learned from the past, and reducing resistance and killing was the fastest way, but it couldn't
After killing them all, it was time to borrow Zhao Qi's reputation and prestige.
Han Sui did not want to make the relationship with Zhao Qi too tense, so he said softly: "Chang'an is newly broken, the soldiers have been working hard for a long time, and they are in urgent need of relief. We must not force them to surrender at this moment, otherwise there will be a risk of mutiny. However, what Duke Zhao said is true.
The truth is, too much killing will harm the peace of the world and the people. Once Weiyang is defeated and the emperor is rescued, I will order the army to withdraw from Chang'an..."
Zhao Qi sighed secretly, Han Sui had finished speaking, and if he cursed a few more words, what would be the use?
Han Sui remounted his horse and headed south. The further he walked, the tighter his frown became. There were signs of chaos along the way. His soldiers were completely crazy and turned a blind eye to him. This was not a good idea.
If this phenomenon is not stopped, it may lead to disaster.
Han Sui drove his horse to the north of Weiyang Palace, and saw his general Zhang Heng leading thousands of soldiers to besiege the palace gates. The morale was even worse than when he attacked the gates of Chang'an City. It's no wonder that the palace was so crowded.
Although most of the world's wealth was taken away by Dong Zhuo, the remainder is still considerable. As long as you grab even half of it, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
Han Sui stood on his horse and watched the palace gates in the middle of the battle, his thoughts divergent...
When he entered the capital this time, he raised 80,000 troops, which can be said to be an overwhelming force, including 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. In addition, Fan Chong was seriously injured, and 10,000 of his men were temporarily under his control. In the battle of Xiliu, Han was captured.
There are more than 15,000 elite troops. Added together, the total strength of the three is more than 100,000. In recent days, Chang'an has been attacked fiercely, and the losses have been very small. However, there are still more than 80,000 capable warriors. But these more than 80,000
Among the people, Fan Chou and the Han army captured no less than 20,000 people. They were all Dong soldiers. Since Han Sui had swallowed them, there was no possibility of spitting them out. Therefore, we need to be extra vigilant about Dong Yue and Niu Fu's tricks to capture people.
Pull away.
Han Suifang thought of Dong Zhuo's generals, and the Liangzhou generals headed by Dong Yue and Niu Fu rushed over. When the two sides met, they both fell silent in a tacit understanding and looked at each other quietly. Before Chang'an was broken, both sides had the same purpose.
, the cooperation was quite smooth, and there were no other evil thoughts. However, once Chang'an fell, the mentality inevitably changed.
