The banquet to discuss the abolition of Li Li was completely ruined by Ding Yuan. As for Li Ru's words of "discussing it someday", everyone turned a deaf ear. After all, Dong Zhuo failed to succeed in the venue and atmosphere carefully prepared by Dong Zhuo.
Is it possible that the proposal to change the emperor in front of the emperor and the queen mother will succeed? Maybe it will give some ministers a chance to show their loyalty.
But even so, no one could guess how things would develop, because Dong Zhuo couldn't even go to court the next day, but had to go outside Luoyang City...
Why? Because someone actually challenged Dong Zhuo's troops stationed outside the city.
Perhaps it was because Dong Zhuo's weak performance yesterday made Ding Yuan feel that the opponent was really a paper tiger, or perhaps Ding Yuan had a perfect strategy to fight against Dong Zhuo. In short, early the next morning after the banquet, Ding Yuan led many people to
The 20,000-strong army, cobbled together from somewhere, shouted loudly in front of Dong Zhuo's camp, laughing and cursing loudly, mocking Dong Zhuo for being as timid as a mouse.
This was really a provocation that Dong Zhuo couldn't bear.
If Ding Yuan had scolded Dong Zhuo for being vulgar, barbaric, even murderous, inhumane, and an evil ghost, Dong Zhuo might not only not be angry, but would also loudly praise Ding Yuan for what he said, and what he said was very appropriate. But Dong Zhuo couldn't stand others insulting him.
It's a coward.
And what Dong Zhuo couldn't bear the most was that the person who insulted him for being cowardly was Ding Yuan, who was as timid as a mouse in his eyes. When did the coward Ding Yuan become qualified to pin the label of coward on his head?
If the terrain is complex or unfamiliar, Dong Zhuo will also consider whether the opponent has an ambush waiting for him. But now the battlefield is on the outskirts of Luoyang, in a flat area, and the most important thing is this
Whoever retreats in the battle and loses will almost lose the opportunity to dominate Luoyang. Obviously, Ding Yuan has no chance of faking defeat.
Since you want to fight, then I will give you a chance to fight!
In anger, Dong Zhuo ignored Li Ru's objections, summoned all the generals around him, and led all his soldiers to fight together.
When the two armies faced off, Ding Yuan's side had about 20,000 troops, while Dong Zhuo's side was still twice as strong as Ding Yuan's side after deducting the troops used to maintain stability in Luoyang City and monitor those families. Not to mention the generals who commanded Dong Zhuo's army.
They are all men who are accustomed to fighting, but Ding Yuan's side should be in an embarrassing situation with no one available, because Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army has long since disappeared.
However, Dong Zhuo's army, which had such an advantage, did not dare to attack aggressively, because there was a general standing in the open space between the two armies. This man tied his hair with a kudzu scarf, wore a linen gown, and wore a pair of
Hemp rope straw sandals. If it weren't for the azure jade belt tied around his waist, just looking at this outfit, someone might mistakenly think that he was a Luoyang beggar who accidentally broke into the formation of the two armies.
However, this outfit coupled with the giant sword in his hand, which was obviously wider and longer than the ridge of ordinary swords, and the look of contempt for all living things, everyone unconsciously felt that this person was not an ordinary person, but a human being.
The illusion of banishing the sword fairy.
The man stood quietly in the formation of the two armies, neither riding a horse nor choosing to ride in a chariot. However, because he was intimidated by his abyss-like momentum, no one dared to step forward for a while. Apparently, even with the strength of the troops
Far superior to the opponent, but the numerical advantage due to this man's momentum could not bring even a slight sense of security to the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army.
"The country is in misfortune, and eunuchs have taken power, causing the people to suffer. You have no merit, so how dare you talk about abolishing the establishment and want to disrupt the court!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have lost all courage, Ding Yuan immediately seized the opportunity to launch a psychological battle. However, unless someone has a strong sense of justice or someone who has been favored by relevant personnel, no one will care about who is in charge of abolishing the establishment.
That emperor. Therefore, Ding Yuan's rhetoric of righteousness is completely useless to the majority of ordinary soldiers.
On the contrary, Dong Zhuo not only increased the daily military pay and treatment of his soldiers, but also often gave them some extra income. Therefore, before the army collapsed, the soldiers were more willing to work for commanders like Dong Zhuo.
After discovering this, Dong Zhuo immediately planned to treat the other person the same way as he did, but obviously someone could see it more clearly than him, so Dong Zhuo, who had not been able to utter any words of solicitation, had been standing there.
The man in the two armies' formation moved.
Just like yesterday when Dong Zhuo tried to draw out his sword but failed to pull out even a single ounce of it, today before Dong Zhuo could say a word, the man rushed to a place not far from Dong Zhuo like a ghost, and even the red horse was afraid
Not that fast.
In the end, it was only Li Ru, a weak scholar, who shouted "defend the lord", which set the tone of the battle.
Although Ding Yuan over there always likes to say careless things, he is not a fool who doesn't understand anything. When he saw the chaos over Dong Zhuojun's side, he knew that the opportunity was rare and immediately ordered the entire army to cover up and kill him.
Try to expand this chaos.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo also fled desperately under the cover of Li Ru, and behind them was the swordsman who made them panic and flee, chasing them like a leisurely stroll, and the 11th route did not even need four hooves.
The guy is slow.
"Hey! That guy, don't hurt my lord!"
The opponent's slightly leisurely attitude obviously angered the bloody men in Dong Zhuo's army. Four generals, Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, rushed out together to attack the man who had been hanging behind Dong Zhuo and never let go.
The guy who never comes close.
"You can be considered a veteran in the army..." The man who was probably the Sword Immortal held his hand on the hilt of the sword.
"You have also gone through many back and forth between life and death..." The man gently pulled out the overly large sword. As the sword was unsheathed, a crisp sword sound could be clearly heard, like a sword.
They were cheering and jumping for joy, which made people's hearts tremble.
"But you guys now..." Facing the menacing four people, the giant sword in the man's hand seemed extremely heavy, but in the man's hand it seemed as light as a feather. As the man's footsteps moved, it actually formed a field of light.
screen.
"I've forgotten that feeling a long time ago!" As the man roared, four mosaic-like objects sprayed with ketchup flew out as if they were free of charge. However, the four mosaics were recovered after being forcefully poured by their soldiers.
Judging from the fact that rice porridge is made from rice, although the four of them looked miserable, the man did not kill them.
The commander fled, and the main generals were killed instantly. Faced with such a god-like figure, even Dong Zhuo's most relied-upon bodyguards did not dare to fight head-on with him, let alone ordinary soldiers, and they would not fight for Dong Zhuo.
Die.
Therefore, under Ding Yuan's advantage, Dong Zhuo's army suffered a major defeat even though it had far more troops than its opponents.
Seeing the defeat of Dong Zhuo's army, the man who decided the direction of the battlefield did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he returned to Ding Yuan, which made Ding Yuan, who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to kill Dong Zhuo, very angry. But he also knew that he was not angry now.
time, and since we can defeat Dong Zhuo today, can't we do the same thing tomorrow, especially since the opponent's military morale has begun to be unstable?
This gave Dong Zhuojun a rare moment of respite.
"This Wang Shichang, after so many years, I thought he had long since given up his pursuit of martial arts when he was seeking an official position in the capital. Who would have thought that this guy would be even more powerful than before after not seeing him for so many years? It's so irritating that he is so popular."
"Don't be upset, sir. The origins of both Wang Shichang and those soldiers have been investigated clearly, so it is not difficult to defeat Na Dingyuan. However, there are many connections behind this incident, and Ru is afraid that his whole body will be affected if he is involved.
.”
"It doesn't matter, as long as Wang Shichang doesn't cause trouble for me anymore, I will look at those miscellaneous guys like chickens and dogs."
"It's actually very simple to prevent Wang Shichang from causing trouble to you. Hasn't he always wanted to get an official position in Luoyang? Then you can just give it to him. Although this Wang Shichang was introduced to Ding Jianyang by the prince's master,
him and that
Li Shushi's relationship is extraordinary. Moreover, Ru happened to find out that Ding Jianyang seemed to want Lu Fengxian to return to his service. No, maybe with Ding Jianyang's temper, his appetite might be bigger."
"Then why did Li Shushi use this method and let me make this fool of myself."
"I'm afraid he just wants to warn us. After all, he looted a lot of books in Dongguan. He is probably afraid that we will use this as an excuse."
"Then it's up to you to handle this matter. Ding Jianyang's twenty thousand people are probably the last hope for those weaklings. Humph!"
So, that night, Ding Yuan found that the general Wang Yue, whom he relied on, was nowhere to be seen.
Most of all, Wang Yue's disappearance made Ding Yuan worried about the subsequent battle, but the last letter that arrived dispelled his doubts. It was from Song Xian, Wei Xu and others who were in Dong Zhuo's formation.
In response to the letter, they expressed their willingness to counterattack Dong Zhuo's army the next day and help the old master Ding Yuan eliminate Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop and achieve great success.
Although Ding Yuan was pleased with the rebellious remarks of these old minions and thought it was a good opportunity, he did not have a good impression of Song Xian and others, because the letters and messengers he had previously contacted them with were like mud.
Now, during the day Dong Zhuo
After a small defeat just now, these few people are willing to submit to their side. This kind of wallflowers are just using them to deal with Dong Zhuo. As for Dong Zhuo's death, depending on the size of their achievements, they can just give it to a small official. I still have to do this.
There are a group of people who need care.
Yes, just as Dong Zhuo thought, Ding Yuan's army was actually a miscellaneous army composed of private soldiers from various Luoyang families and some county soldiers from the Henan area. In terms of strength, let alone Dong Zhuo's personal guards, it was even more powerful than Dong Zhuo's.
Those troops originally from the Northern Army
There is a big gap between them. However, there are many outstanding children of aristocratic families hidden in such a miscellaneous army. They are the ones that Ding Yuan and the aristocratic family group behind Ding Yuan rely on to win. Of course, there are convenient and labor-saving methods for Ding.
I don't mind using it either.
However, after less than a day, he might not think so anymore.
"Sir, Song Xian and Wei Xu have brought Ding Jianyang's head, but those guys are still celebrating for being able to defeat you twice."
"This way, no one will object to our plan."
"My son-in-law would like to congratulate you for getting one step closer to your goal."
In the night sky, there were waves of chilling laughter...
ps: We have always felt that the Ding Yuan in history was a figure similar to Dong Cheng, so unknowingly, poor Ding Yuan became even more useless than before.
