The people I sent were very timely. Originally, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen had already planned to surrender to the coalition of princes. Now that they knew that I was willing to take them in, and that the time had come for them to show off, they immediately raised the "D" flag to show that they were already
Bingzhou Mu Dingye people. As for the people sent by the princes, tell them the truth directly and let them go back home.
Although Zhang Haogu and Cao Cao were well aware of this incident, other princes were surprised. They had already known that Dong Zhuo had escaped, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to enter Luoyang to gain benefits, but now they were caught first. How could they do it?
Not depressed. Under the leadership of Yuan Shao, various princes urged Zhang Haogu to hold a meeting to discuss.
"Everyone, we were fighting to death at Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, and Ding Ye'er was actually taking advantage of us behind our backs. No matter what, we have to say this. Prime Minister, as long as you say a word, we will definitely take back Luoyang.
Then welcome back the Holy One." Yuan Shao spoke.
"Yes, yes, why should he, Ding Ye, be popular and drink spicy food? We should give him a long-term job." Yuan Shu agreed.
"Everyone, Ding Ye is indeed a kid. But you should know that this kid has a man named Lu Bu. When Dong Zhuo faced Lu Bu, he did not dare to call Hua Xiong to fight. How did Hua Xiong behave in the two places of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass?
Everyone has seen it too." Sun Jian said in a cold voice, "
At present, Sun Jian is single-minded. He just wants to defeat the national traitor Dong Zhuo as soon as possible and welcome back the Holy Emperor. If you want to fight Ding Ye to death, that is your business. I have already defeated Zu Mao and do not want to defeat other generals. Everyone, wait a moment, I will
Go contact Ding Ye and prepare to use the road to attack Dong Zhuo."
"Borrow the road! Haha, borrow the road!" Yuan Shao laughed, "Yes, we borrow the road. What do you think? Should we borrow the road?"
Sun Jian stood up and was about to leave, when he heard Yuan Shao's laughter, he couldn't help but cursed an idiot in his heart, and said coldly again, "Some people want to play with fire, go ahead, but I won't play anyway. Everyone, take your leave.
Already."
Looking at Sun Jian's leaving figure, Yuan Shao stopped other princes who were about to speak, and said with his hands: "Sun Wentai is dedicated to the country, which is admirable. Everyone, we should follow Sun Wentai's example and immediately ask Ding Ye for help. By the way, Prime Minister
, what do you think?"
Zhang Haogu secretly laughed in his heart. The current situation had already been planned by him. With Zhang Fei and Jia Xu here, and even Ding Ye personally presiding over it, he was afraid that the sixteen princes would not be able to succeed. The total strength of the sixteen princes was probably too small.
It cannot keep up with Sizhou's current military strength. Whoever dares to act rashly will not know how the word "death" will be written by then. But this is the time for him to gain fame, and he has to say something.
"I agree with what Sun Wentai said. The Holy One is covered in dust right now. We can't wait here. Of course, we must contact Ding Ye immediately and travel by starry night to try to kill Dong Zhuo as soon as possible and welcome the Holy One back." Here Zhang Haogu struck a blow.
Sloppy eyes.
In fact, from a common sense, who is most anxious to eliminate Dong Zhuo is of course Ding Ye. Ding Yuan's great revenge has not been avenged, so Ding Ye cannot sit still. At the same time, Ding Ye is sitting on the soldiers of the two states of Bingzhou and Sizhou, so he should be the vanguard when attacking Dong Zhuo.
But Zhang is good at these two aspects.
They didn't mention it at all, just borrowing the road. This was also because Sun Jian was anxious and first proposed borrowing the road, so Zhang Haogu borrowed it. In this way, after Zhang Haogu Yi Zhengciyan's words, Ding Ye's responsibility was passed off.
Clean, as if Dong Zhuo had never
He has no grudge against him, and the person who was robbed is not his own emperor. From now on, Ding Ye has become a local snake in Sizhou. Anyone who wants to take advantage of Ding Ye will be lucky if he wins, but if he loses, Zhang
Haogu definitely has a reason to add insult to injury.
However, Yuan Shao didn't know the inside story at all. Now, no matter how you listen to Zhang Haogu's words, it seems that you are following what he said. So Yuan Shao immediately agreed: "Prime Minister is wise, we will contact Ding Ye immediately and use the opportunity to pursue Dong Zhuo."
At this time, I had just surrendered Hua Xiong and one of his troops in Luoyang, and I was in a good mood. First I heard the news that Sun Jian's messenger had arrived. I looked at Jia Xu, who smiled and said: "The loyal ministers who serve the country have arrived."
Sun Jian's messenger came in, and as soon as he explained his intention, I immediately agreed. I sent someone to go with the messenger to pass the order and let Sun Jian's army go to pursue Dong Zhuo.
The messenger here had just left, and another messenger reporting to the princes had arrived. I looked at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The weasel is coming."
I immediately sent a messenger to come in. The messenger expressed the desire of the princes headed by Prime Minister Zhang Haogu to pursue Dong Zhuo through the road. I immediately agreed, and then sent someone to follow the messenger to the pass and told the princes to let the army pass. Then I looked towards
Jia Xu. Jia Xu smiled again and said: "The Prime Minister is telling everyone that Sizhou belongs to Ding Mu, and no one can take Sizhou away from Ding Mu."
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, he heard another report that the Prime Minister's messenger had arrived. After welcoming the messenger in, the messenger only said one sentence: "The Prime Minister has an order, and everything is decided by Ding Mu. Ding Mu, please listen more."
The opinion of the military advisor." I nodded and said "I know."
After the messenger left, I smiled and said to Jia Xu and Zhang Fei: "The Prime Minister wants the two military advisors to find a way to take action, but he is afraid of losing my face. So the two military advisors can give full play to their power. Military Advisor Jia is responsible for dealing with the princes, and Military Advisor Zhang leads an eagle."
Guard military division, go to meet Sun Jian, you can only save people, don't rush in."
Zhang Fei laughed: "Ding Mu still doesn't trust me, Lao Zhang. I only do it for others to see. Don't worry, I understand."
Next, it is no longer my performance time. I plan to stay next to Jia Xu and watch the peep show. I have already agreed with Jia Xu that I am just here to watch, not to give ideas. He will take all the ideas.
Jia Xu is also very satisfied with my decision.
Walking outside Luoyang City, there were only a few sparse people, and it felt like it was very vast outside the city. And in the vast distance, there was the place where the army of the princes was about to come. Jia Xu had arranged everything, and now I am just following him around here.
.This time it’s mainly about words and no fighting is needed, so these few people are enough.
Soon, Sun Jian's army of one million people rolled in from afar. As they passed by us, Jia Xu began to introduce himself to his family. Sun Jian did not let the army stop, but he just slowed down a little and exchanged a few words while riding on his horse. And Jia Xu
Xu Que told him a very important sentence. Once he couldn't win, he would retreat and we would have someone to take care of him. Although Sun Jian still didn't stop, he seemed to let his horse pause for a moment, but he immediately rushed to catch up.
His army has gone.
After about ten minutes, the army of the princes also came over. The one running at the front was Yuan Shao. Of course, when he passed by us, Jia Xu also reported his name. Unlike Sun Jian, Jia Xu
After announcing his name, Yuan Shao stopped.
"General Jia has worked so hard to welcome my army into the city?" Yuan Shao asked happily.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "General Sun Wentai has begun to pursue Dong Zhuo. Could it be that General Yuan is with General Sun?"
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "I heard that the Dong thieves left Luoyang and that the two million troops of Bingzhou Mu were not enough to maintain order in Luoyang. Today we specially brought 30 million troops to help maintain public order in Luoyang. I think Ding Mu will be very happy to come. Dong Zhuoxian
This disease is a mustard disease, and with Sun Wentai here, success will be immediate. We will wait for Sun Wentai's triumphant return in Luoyang."
But Jia Xu laughed loudly: "General Yuan's news is delayed. Today, Ding Mu has stationed tens of millions of troops in Luoyang City. Although Luoyang is big, it can only support tens of millions of troops. Ding Mu manages the army strictly and does not harm the people at all, just like in other places.
It is difficult for soldiers and horses to
It's under control. Therefore, Ding Mu has deployed another 50 million troops outside Luoyang City to maintain public order outside the city. Ding Mu has an order, Luoyang is the imperial capital, and any intruders who lead troops without authorization will be shot to death. General Yuan also asked for help outside the city.
Set up camp before the end makes things difficult."
Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and laughed: "I am a member of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third Duke. I have always been loyal to the country. It is my duty to maintain the security of Luoyang. I want to enter Luoyang, who dares to stop me? The population of Bingzhou is small, with five million people.
It’s not easy to build an army, so how can we talk about an army of 60 million? You can deceive others, but you can’t deceive me. Forget it, I will just wait here for Ding Mu to come up with an army of 60 million, and I, Yuan Shao, will be stationed outside the city.
."
Jia Xu chuckled and said, "It's easy to talk about. But there is one thing. Ding Mu stipulated that the troops stationed outside Luoyang City must prepare their own military supplies. Anyone who disturbs the people will be killed without mercy. Otherwise, this one will be stationed today, and that one will be stationed tomorrow.
If we come to garrison troops, how can Luoyang have the dignity of an imperial capital?"
At this time, Yuan Shu had also arrived. When he heard what Jia Xu said, he was furious: "Damn it, Ding Ye is no better than Bingzhou Xiaodi Zhoumu, but he has such a big tone. I've made me angry, so I'll kill you first, Sijiqi."
."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shu suddenly got a big slap in the face. I stood in front of his horse with a cold face: "The fourth generation and the third prince are bullshit, I'm pissed off, first use your brother's two million soldiers.
Sacrifice the flag.”
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both shocked. You must know that Yuan Shu was riding a horse, and I was far away from them. The two of them didn't see my movements at all. Not only had I slapped Yuan Shu, but I also stood on his horse without knowing it.
Before. Judging from this strength alone, I'm afraid I can definitely kill both of them and escape intact.
Yuan Shao pointed at me and asked in surprise: "Who are you, Wang Yue?"
I sneered and said, "Don't worry about who I am. As long as you two brothers know that if you cross the border even half a step, you will be killed without mercy."
The Yuan brothers stopped talking. At this moment, if their lives were in danger if they were not careful, how could they think of entering Luoyang. Soon, except for Sun Jian, the soldiers and horses of the other eighteen princes arrived one after another. The two brothers Yuan Shao took advantage of this
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quietly retreated to Zhang Haogu's side and reported to various princes what was ahead.
Zhang Hao kept a straight face and said nothing, and he didn't know who he was angry with. The other princes were all talking, and each ordered the most elite generals and guards to escort them, and came to the front collectively. This time Yuan
The brothers did not dare to take the lead and pushed Cao Cao to take the lead. Cao Cao refused, so they pushed Liu Dai to take the lead.
At this time, I also retreated to Jia Xu. First of all, I apologized to Jia Xu, and I shouldn't have acted without authorization. Jia Xu said that it didn't matter, and it was good to let the other party know that he was a little bit powerful. In fact, the few people he brought with him were elite, and they were enough to protect him.
He and I returned to our army, but he didn't expect that my strength was higher than the others.
Just listen to Liu Dai say: "The world belongs to the Liu family. I am Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, a relative of the royal family. Today I am leading a large army to maintain the security of the imperial capital. Please do it for your convenience."
Jia Xu said coldly: "If you want to stay in Yanzhou, stay in Yanzhou. If you want to fight Dong Zhuo, go and fight him. What are you talking about? The general only knows the emperor's orders, not the clan."
Liu Dai laughed angrily: "So, Ding Mu really thinks he has an army of 60 million. I'll give you an hour to attract the 60 million army, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Jia Xu then smiled and said: "What Yanzhou Mu said is true. The troops will arrive in less than an hour."
As soon as Jia Xu raised his hand, a plume of thick smoke rose into the sky. Next, the rumble of horse hooves was heard. Millions of cavalry emerged from the east and south of the city in neat formations, and the sound of horse hooves trampled through the mountains and rivers.
After a while, the general from the east of the city arrived on horseback: "Military advisor, Zhang San, the commander of the cavalry in the east of the city, is here to report."
Immediately afterwards, the generals from the south of the city also arrived: "Military advisor, Li Si, the commander of the cavalry in the south of the city, is here to report."
Jia Xu nodded: "Very good, be on full alert. Anyone who dares to cross the thunder pool will be destroyed immediately."
At first, Liu Dai and others' expressions changed greatly. But then, a smile appeared on Liu Dai's face: "Bingzhou is the birthplace of cavalry, so it is not surprising that they can provide two million cavalry. Could it be that Ding Mu wants to use this
Do you want some cavalry to scare off our army?"
Jia Xu snorted coldly: "Yanzhou Mu is really unwilling to give up. Well, let me show you the main force of our army."
He raised his hand again, and another plume of smoke rose into the sky. The rumble of horse hooves sounded again. But among the horses' hooves, there was a louder sound, which was the uniform footsteps of five million infantrymen from the east and south.
.This is the strength of the "Gudao City", and it is now being used by Jia Xu. The infantry array covers the sky and the earth. The key is that the array moves neatly
They are unified, and have a shocking power that can swallow up the heaven and the earth. Compared with the troops brought by the princes, one is connected with the same spirit, and the other is with different intentions. Naturally, which one is better and which one is worse can be distinguished at once. Only
With these tens of millions of infantry, plus the previous two million cavalry, if Zhang Haogu's 12 million troops were removed, I am afraid that we would still be able to draw a tie with the princes.
But as the infantry array suddenly stopped, the thunderous marching sound suddenly stopped. The rolling sound of horse hooves began to become more intense. Jia Xu arranged it just right. When the infantry reached the end of the field, the cavalry was almost there.
But before the cavalry arrived at the end of the field, they had to perform a separate performance. This time, the princes once again saw five million cavalry coming from the east and south. In other words, so far, Luoyang City has indeed dispatched more than 20 million cavalry.
army, and its
More than half of them are cavalry. And judging from the posture of the cavalry, they are a division capable of hundreds of battles. On this plain terrain, once a war breaks out, the coalition of princes will definitely be crushed to pieces by the Luoyang army. And judging from the posture, these troops are just coming from the east.
face and south
Come here, there are probably similar arrangements in the west and north. It seems that Luoyang City has 60 million elite troops, which is not groundless. Even if there are no other troops, just relying on more than 20 million troops, the coalition of princes will be overwhelmed.
Walk.
The reason why Liu Dai was so aggressive before was that he was sure that Bingzhou would not be able to send too many troops. But now, with the facts before his eyes, he could no longer be aggressive. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu even shouted that they were lucky. If they really wanted to force themselves in the beginning,
, I'm afraid it has been eaten by now.
So at this time, all the princes' eyes were turned to Zhang Haogu. Only he, the Prime Minister and General of the Tang Dynasty, could deal with this embarrassing situation.
When Zhang Haogu saw that everyone was looking at him, he suddenly cursed loudly: "Why are you arguing with me? Since we are here to pursue Dong Jun and borrow a way, of course we have to do as we please. The master asked us to stay outside
Camping, just camping outside, how can you save face? Before the Holy One was rescued, all of us had no face. Looking at you, you are still here to save the Holy One, and you are all here to praise yourself. You guys
So capable, Holy
Why haven't you been rescued yet? Just give it all to me. As a general, I, Zhang Haogu, issued an order. All armies were camped outside the city. They were not allowed to disturb the people. Military supplies were at their own risk. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed. Oh,
By the way, those who are recuperating in Luoyang in the short term and don’t have military supplies can come to me. Especially those members of the royal family and the fourth and third princes, please listen to me. This is a battlefield, not an officialdom, and there are mountains of military orders. Don’t blame me for not telling you.
you."
As soon as Zhang Haogu said this, the princes fell silent. You must know that the process of Zhang Haogu, the prime minister and general of the Tang Dynasty, came to power is very strange. Since the system deprived Zhang Haogu of his territory except Liangzhou, the affairs of the Xiongnu will naturally be the same.
Ignored by the system. So in other words, Zhang Haogu achieved his current status just by pacifying the Liangzhou Rebellion. Many people are very unconvinced by this. But if they are not convinced, people are not convinced.
Where is the status of the family, the life and death of people like you are controlled at this moment. If you are not convinced, you can only bury it in your stomach. The military orders that should be obeyed should still be obeyed. Some princes are even very happy. Fortunately,
With Ding Ye, a thorn in the side, occupying Bingzhou and Sizhou, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Liangzhou and the Guandong princes. Otherwise, facing such a tough opponent, I really don't know if I have any room to survive.
Seeing that all the princes fell silent, Zhang Haogu's voice softened a little: "Everyone, everyone has worked hard to come together to defeat Dong Zhuo. This is all the credit of Meng De and Benchu. As long as everyone can abide by the military orders, we will still be able to defeat Dong Zhuo."
We are of the same mind, I, Zhang Haogu, still respect you all very much in my heart. That’s settled today’s matter. By the way, you guys, come with me, I want to see why you, Ding Mu, are so arrogant.
"
The last few words were meant for us people from Luoyang. Because Zhang Haogu had already seen me and didn't tell me anything, he just took this opportunity to discuss the next strategy with us.
We naturally understood and followed Zhang Haogu to his army. As soon as we entered the big tent, the three of us laughed. Today's performance was really wonderful. In this way, we not only defeated the princes' conspiracy to attack Guo on a false road, but also defeated Guo Guo.
I truly captured Sizhou and further established my position in Luoyang. When there was no emperor, the prime minister, Zhang Haogu, had the final say in everything.
Next, everyone agreed that since the princes had nothing to gain, they must go home and grab the territory. In this way, the pattern we tried to form before was officially formed. However, Jia Xu believed that we had just captured Sizhou.
It has not yet been digested, and Sizhou cannot send troops for the time being. So the next leading roles are Cao Cao and Fan Lihua. If there is a change in Yanzhou, Cao Cao will intervene, and Jizhou and You
If there is a change in the state, Fan Lihua and Xue Dingshan will intervene. The principle of whether Sizhou goes to war depends on whether Bingzhou takes action against Yuan Shao. This time Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have offended us together, and he will definitely be on guard. As long as I
After we touched Yuan Shu, he immediately became honest, and it was not easy for us to touch him. Yuan Shu was full of misdeeds and could be moved at any time. But Yuan Shao had no serious evil deeds. Unless he did bad things, there was no chance to eradicate him.
