"Is there anything Zhiyuan needs from me, an old man, even if I say so clearly? Besides, I just go to the mansion often to see Yan'er.
Jia Rong felt a warm current flowing slowly through his heart. In Luoyang, a place full of intrigues and intrigues, it was not easy to find a true concern, even though the old man would sometimes oppose him.
Under Jia Rong's order, all the soldiers at Hulao Pass, Mengjing Pass and Pingjing Pass withdrew to Luoyang City.
Without Jia Rong's persuasion, after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Zang Ba immediately led his men to join the Xiliang Army. None of Zang Ba's soldiers raised any objections. They were left in Hulao Pass. To put it bluntly, they were abandoned in the
There, I was lucky enough to come back, and naturally I remembered how good Jia Rong was in the past. Although this man also had some shortcomings, these shortcomings seemed to have turned into advantages after joining the Xiliang Army. No soldier would dislike the general who was too good to them.
Dong Zhuo's funeral was very grand. This all-powerful figure in the Han Dynasty completely disappeared in the long river of history. Perhaps a few years later, future generations will think of Dong Zhuo with just a few simple comments in history books. Looking at the entire history, we can
How many people can leave a few words in the history books? How many brave and powerful people are trying to occupy a place in it? There are many amazing and beautiful people among them.

General Qu of the Xiliang Army and generals of the Dong Army all participated in Dong Zhuo's funeral. Looking at the figures of officials from the DPRK and Central Government in the procession, Jia Rong secretly smiled and said, "It seems that Dong Zhuo was not so unpopular in the DPRK."
After Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Rong rose up and replaced Dong Zhuo's position in the court. He became more than ten thousand people in one day, brought a sword to the court, and refused to worship the Han Emperor.
Half a month later, all the armies of the eighteen princes gathered outside Luoyang City. Excluding the soldiers stationed at the checkpoints along the way and the soldiers who died during the siege, the coalition forces totaled more than 100,000 people. Their banners covered the sky and the sun and stretched for dozens of miles.
All the city gates in Luoyang were tightly closed, and there were countless more soldiers patrolling the streets than before.
The Dong Army and the Xiliang Army merged, and after an inspection of the entire army, the generals at the grassroots level of the army were finalized. All the corps commanders and commanders were people with abilities beyond ordinary soldiers. The selection process was open to allow the soldiers to feel the existence of fairness.
Seeing their former subordinates become their superiors, many soldiers remembered Jia Rong's words on the high platform, "The capable ones go up, the weak ones go down!"
In the army, the strong are respected. There was no trouble in the selection of the Xiliang Army. Under the leadership of the generals of each department, enthusiastic training was carried out in an orderly manner. Under the talent selection system of the Xiliang Army, few people were willing to be a
Soldiers who did nothing in the past were not unwilling to fight for it, but it was the system that kept them there.
The coalition forces gathered outside the city did not panic the soldiers in the city. After experiencing the Battle of Hulao Pass, the generals and soldiers were full of confidence in Jia Rong. With more than 10,000 people, they could stop the coalition's attack of 80,000 people, let alone now.
Already.
The princes are approaching Luoyang, and there are many restless people in the court. The strength of these aristocratic families gathered together cannot be underestimated. The scholar rebellion has not been completed for three years. The officials of the aristocratic families are not simple scholars. They are scholars with private soldiers.
, as soon as the allied forces of the princes arrived outside Luoyang City, the aristocratic family organized a night attack on the city gate, but it was resisted by the brave Xiliang army. Afterwards, all the aristocratic families who were identified were killed without any mercy.
The food and fodder in Luoyang City was enough for the city's defenders for a year, so Jia Rong was not in a hurry and slowly consumed it with the princes until all the princes were exhausted.
The princes adopted the method of surrounding three and missing one. They surrounded three walls of Luoyang, leaving only one side free. This strategy was very appropriate.
"Lord, even if Luoyang has high walls and thick walls and is surrounded by allied forces, it is just an isolated city. As the saying goes, a gentleman will not put himself in danger. If the princes insist on destroying our army and cutting off our retreat, it will be in danger." Jia Xu whispered.
Advise.
Jia Rong was shocked when he heard this. No wonder Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Three Kingdoms, would flee with the emperor when he saw the coalition forces coming. It turned out to be the reason. The coalition forces had just gathered outside Luoyang City and were busy celebrating their victory and singing and singing every night. They didn't want to attack the city at all.
I heard that Jia Rong is in the city, but no one is willing to come forward.
The only concern in Luoyang City is Cai Yan. His relationship with Cai Yan is like an engagement in the future world, with only the last step to get married.
"Wen He, in your opinion, hurry up and prepare everything. Remember, this matter must be done quietly," Jia Rong warned.
Jia Xu looked directly at Jia Rong and said slowly: "I wonder what my lord's plans are after withdrawing from Luoyang?"
"What does Wen He mean by this?"
"If my lord is willing to revive the Han Dynasty and assist the current emperor, his name will surely go down in history and he will achieve unparalleled fame."
"What if?"
The great master http:://
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Otherwise, our army will occupy the land in Guanzhong and wait for the opportunity. My lord's prestige in Liangzhou is unparalleled. The army is everywhere, but the people are still waiting for it with food and wine. We can stick to the land in Guanzhong and we can enter."
If we take Liangzhou and merge it with Yizhou, if the princes come to attack us, we only need to hold on to Hangu Pass, and the princes in the world will not be able to advance. This is the cause of kings and dominators."
Jia Rong thought for a long time and said slowly: "Wen He? I don't know how to treat the current emperor in this way?"
"This is easy, bring the Holy Emperor to the Western Capital, and hundreds of officials will inevitably follow. Just one imperial edict can cause chaos among the princes in the world. Who doesn't want to be recognized by the imperial court? There are so many ambitious people in the world.
.”
"Holding the emperor to order the princes?" Jia Rong asked.
Jia Xu clapped his hands and praised: "What my lord said is very true. The emperor is in our hands, which means that we have mastered the great righteousness. The emperor is where the great righteousness lies. There are so many restless people in the world, and there are endless people who want to please the lord."
Jia Rong's eyes flashed with excitement, "Wen He will handle this matter."
"No!" Jia Xu bowed and accepted the order.
"It is said that there is a lot of money and jewelry in the imperial mausoleum of the Han Dynasty. I wonder if my lord is interested?" Jia Xu said.
Jia Rong thought for a long time and nodded: "Well, the Xiliang army is expanding again, and it will be a huge consumption of food, grass and weapons." Putting the treasure down will only be buried.
Jia Xu bowed and accepted the promise. In his heart, the most beneficial to the Xiliang army was the first choice. Choosing Jia Rong also meant that some righteousness had to be abandoned. As a top strategist, Jia Xu had such an awareness.
The influence of the imperial family in the world is great, but in the minds of ordinary merchant families, what can really dominate the world is military power.
Among the allied forces of the princes, the princes from all walks of life gathered in the central army's tent and looked at Yuan Shao at the head with burning eyes.
"With your concerted efforts, the coalition forces arrived in the capital. According to reports from spies, Dong Zhuo was assassinated a few days ago. There is only the Xiliang Army in the city. I wonder if you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?" Yuan Shao said excitedly as he glanced at the princes in the tent.
.
"In my opinion, it is best for the coalition forces not to act rashly. Jia Rong was able to guard Hulao Pass with more than 10,000 people, which shows his ability. Moreover, Luoyang City has high walls and thick walls. It is not a day's work to capture the capital.
Things can only be done slowly." Yuan Shu stroked his beard under his chin, looking like a wise man.
Yuan Shu spoke, and the princes who were sympathetic to Yuan Shu all echoed his words.
These words were told by Yuan Shu's counselors, so they were displayed in front of the princes.
"General Yuan's words are wrong. There are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, but our coalition army has a hundred thousand people. The general's words are just to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige." Bao Xin retorted.
Yuan Shu immediately lowered his expression, pointed at Bao Xin and said, "In that case, let's all watch how Captain Bao attacks the Xiliang army in the city."
The princes in the tent were talking a lot, and Yuan Shao didn't look very good. Yuan Shu's words were clearly aimed at attacking Bao Zhong, and Bao Zhong had always been his follower. If Yuan Shu was allowed to do this, who else would be willing to follow him.
"Don't talk nonsense on the highway." Yuan Shao sounded slightly angry.
"General Bao's words are reasonable. We will discuss this matter again. Luoyang City has high walls and thick walls, and there are elite Xiliang troops in the city. We should take measures to deal with it slowly." Yuan Shao consoled him.
Cao Cao said to the crowd: "Alliance leader, Cao Cao has a plan to destroy the Xiliang army."
Yuan Shao said happily: "Mengde has said it clearly." If he, the leader of the alliance, is thinking about who he cares about most, it is not the Han emperor or the Han Dynasty, but the brave and capable Xiliang army.
The great master http:://
"The one the Xiliang army relies on is Luoyang. Under the siege of a hundred thousand coalition troops, Luoyang has become an isolated city. The leader only needs to send a large army to heavily siege Luoyang and block its retreat. After the Xiliang army runs out of food, it will surely
Perish."
Before Yuan Shao could respond, a person in the tent retorted: "General Cao's words are worthy of punishment. Little do we know that the Holy Emperor is still in Luoyang City and heavily besieging Luoyang. If the Xiliang army is defeated, the Holy Emperor will be in danger and the country of Han Dynasty will be in danger."
The princes in the tent listened to Cao Cao's theory of destroying the Xiliang Army and then heard the rebuttal. After thinking about it, they couldn't help but gasp. According to Cao Cao's approach, the Xiliang Army would be destroyed, but the royal family would also be destroyed. At the same time,
Also buried were the aristocratic families in the city. These generals were closely related to the aristocratic families in the city and would not allow the Xiliang army to act recklessly in the city.
Except for Cao Cao, all the princes in the tent voted against it.
Yuan Shao's expression kept changing: "The attack on the Xiliang army will not be accomplished in one day. You will think about it after you return to the camp."
"Alliance leader, I have a plan for my lowly position." Yuan Pang, the governor of the North, said: "All the Allied forces need to attack the city is an opportunity. There are twelve gates in Luoyang City. As the saying goes, one gate will be opened if it is dense and sparse.
, Luoyang City was declared broken."
"Write many words of persuasion to surrender on the cloth, tie them to arrows and shoot them into the city. Those who help the Allied troops enter the city will be promised huge profits. Within a few days, the news will spread throughout Luoyang City."
Yuan Shao said happily: "Leave this matter to General Yuan. If Luoyang can be conquered, General Yuan will take the lead."
Yuan Pang bowed and agreed, with excitement on his face. Yuan Pang felt very good about being able to show off in front of all the princes.
After hearing Yuan Pang's words, the princes in the tent looked at him with admiration. Such a strategy could be regarded as a good strategy for attacking the city.
Yuan Pang took a proud look at the princes in the tent and walked back to his original position.
