The war between Dong Zhuojun and the coalition forces was spread through unknown channels. Both the process and the results were as if a nuclear weapon with an equivalent of 100,000 tons had been dropped in the public opinion circles of the Han Dynasty - this was no longer a stone's throw.
Thousand-layer waves are no longer a problem, but they directly overturn the entire lake to the sky.
The two mythical beasts, the green dragon and the white tiger, join forces to act cute (fog). Dong Zhuo draws out his sword and kills the thunder in the sky and renames his favorite sword "Leiqie" (fog). Fan Chou wins the favor of the white tiger and is possessed by him, like a divine soldier descending from the sky and piercing through it.
Enemy position, cut down both sides of the flag
, seizing three weapons, stabbing and slashing more than 50 famous allied generals with spears and swords. Later generations even wrote a poem praising: "The blood stains the soldiers' robes and their armor is red. Who dares to compete with him in Hulao! In ancient times, he rushed into battle to support the Ming Dynasty.
There is Jincheng Fanxuansui." (Heavy fog)
As for the result, there are different opinions. Anyway, they all exaggerate one's own achievements and make various belittlings of the things promoted by the enemy. If you just listen to one side's words, I'm afraid you will think that one side will destroy the other's as a result.
A brilliant victory was achieved.
For Dong Zhuo's army, the whole division attacked and retreated, and also took the flag of Yuan Shao's army and the flag of Baima Yicong. Although they were forced to retreat due to the enemy's pressure on both wings, the expected tactical purpose had been achieved.
Moreover, he left such a deep impression on the princes that the enemy did not dare to pursue him at all, and he entered Luoyang City in great glory.
The coalition forces are not without anything worth bragging about. At least Dong Zhuo's army, although fierce, eventually withdrew under the pressure of the coalition forces. The towering revolving door pass has now turned into rubble, and only the city gate can be seen.
The base is still in good condition.
Moreover, the coalition forces also have an important weapon, which is the ability to control national public opinion. After all, most scholars in the world are on the side of the coalition forces, so they are naturally more willing to spread news that is beneficial to the coalition forces, even in the city of Luoyang. As a result, Dong Zhuojun
The First World War not only made the coalition forces fully understand the gap between the two sides, but also made more people think that Dong Zhuo's army could only survive and become waning.
If Wang Yun, a strong man who could be called a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in his forbearance, hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, maybe Dong Zhuo would have caused another wave of bloodshed in Luoyang. But this time, what was unexpected was that Dong Zhuo did not stop the spread of the news that was not good for him.
This has also become important evidence that some people are ready to take action, but in the eyes of interested people, this is another conspiracy prepared by Dong Zhuo or Li Ru.
As for which one is true and which one is false, only Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in Luoyang City know it well.
However, although such quarrels still disturb the situation, it is certain that the only defensive shield that Dong Zhuo's side can rely on after losing the Xuanmen Pass is the strong city of Luoyang. And if Luoyang is captured by the coalition forces,
Surrounded by everyone, even if Dong Zhuo could break through, the losses would probably be huge.
Now it's time for Dong Zhuo to make a decision again - should he defend Luoyang or make a strategic retreat?
Regarding this issue, even Dong Zhuo, who has absolute influence in the Xiliang Army, is not so easy to make a decision. After all, the political significance of Luoyang City is too great, and the political demands of the Xiliang Army are so important. It can even be said that once Luoyang withdraws
I'm afraid that the Xiliang Army will probably never come back here again in their lifetime. The Xiliang Army, which has retreated to a corner, is likely to return to the era that was forgotten by the scholars of the Central Plains. Even if the Xiliang Army
The army can still occupy Chang'an, the former political center of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, Dong Zhuo has a lot of troubles on his side, and there are also a lot on the Allied Forces side. For example, right now...
"My lord, Tao Gongzu decided to leave the coalition and return to Xuzhou because Cao Mengde forced him to use force on the battlefield."
Xu You walked quickly to Yuan Shao and reported to Yuan Shao some news that made everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Really? This old fox is trying to please both sides. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo has promised him enough benefits this time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to endure Meng De's actions at that time, let alone now that our power is superior."
After several days of recuperation, Yuan Shao has returned to his former glory. After all, he grew up as a lowly bastard (illegitimate son?), and even Yuan Shu often teased him as a "house slave". It is conceivable that he suffered a lot.
It was painful, so even if he couldn't accept the bad result for a while, he was worthy of being a hero of his generation after all, and he was not completely decadent because of it.
Yuan Shao's performance was also praised by many scholars, especially Han Fu's men. After all, their lord was not as tough as Yuan Shao. His legs and feet often trembled when he walked. If he wasn't careful, he might even fall in the toilet.
Get into the pit.
Of course, the more this happens, the more Yuan Shao supports Han Fu. On the one hand, it is a comradeship with the same destiny, and on the other hand... Well, in fact, everyone on earth knows that Buddha once said: It cannot be said, it cannot be said
Say~
"What my lord said is true. Dong Zhuo issued an imperial edict and granted Tao Qian the title of 'Move to General Andong, Mu of Xuzhou, and title of Marquis of Liyang.' It's really a big deal. But you are worried about another thing..."
"Are you trying to say that there are other people in our coalition behind this incident?"
The coalition forces have never been united, even when they had a common goal with Dong Zhuo. Now Dong Zhuo has retreated to Luoyang, and if Dong Zhuo is not stupid, his time in Luoyang has also entered a countdown, and the princes have begun a new round of overt and covert fighting.
It's really not a strange thing. No, maybe the princes' lack of action would surprise Yuan Shao.
"Gao Dao and Sun Wentai seem to be having a heated fight during this period. Although Gao Dao's move can really be called 'seeking skin from a tiger', Sun Wentai's ability really makes people have to be on guard. And I accidentally discovered that Gongsun Zan's soldiers seemed to be packing their bags, too.
I'm just afraid..."
"After a while, I wrote a letter in my own hand, and Ziyuan went to Jingzhou on my behalf to find out about Liu Jingsheng. Nanyang is a good place, and the dignified Jingzhou shepherd can't order the governor to rule. This is really unreasonable. It's unreasonable."
"What about Gongsun Bogui?"
"It doesn't matter, let people go to Youzhou to put some spices between Liu Bo'an and Gongsun Bogui, as well as those Wuwan and Xianbei people who have received our benefits. Let Gongze keep an eye on this matter. Don't go too far. Just make it a little bit.
Just make some remarks."
"Yes..." Although Yuan Shao's foundation is still in the initial stage, there are still some signs of internal struggles. The more obvious ones are the competition between outsiders led by Xu You, Feng Ji and Guo Tu and the local forces in Jizhou like Tian Feng.
, but because even Yuan Shao himself has not yet fully gained a foothold, this kind of struggle is not obvious yet.
Xu You and Guo Tu are also a couple. Although they are both foreigners, Xu You looks like he wants to become the leader of the foreign party because he has known Yuan Shao for a long time. However, Guo Tu, who is from Yingchuan, is not a kind person either, so
There is also a lot of sordidness between the two of them.
Sure enough, as Xu You said, a few days later Gongsun Zan also led his remaining troops back north under the pretext of "something happened in the north." Although Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan's behavior in his heart, he couldn't force him to stay, and instead held a banquet to honor it.
Okay, they talked and laughed even more during the banquet to win the favor of the other party. The communicative skills of the children of the aristocratic family were undoubtedly revealed.
Another reason why Yuan Shao was so happy was that Liu Bei stayed.
After a series of battles, the friendship between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei was obviously higher, and compared to the stinky warrior Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, who was indifferent to mood and anger and studied under Lu Zhi, could barely be regarded as a scholar, was more interested in Yuan Shao.
appetite
, What's more, Yuan Shao believes that Liu Bei's own ability to command troops is no less than that of Gongsun Zan, and his general Zhang Fei is even more brave. Gao Lan and Jiang Qi who he brought with him are no match for him, which further strengthens Liu Bei's trust in Yuan Shao's heart.
weight.
You, Yuan Shu, have Sun Jian, but I, Yuan Shao, also have Liu Bei and Cao Cao as my wings. It’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.
Well, the three ancestors of the Three Kingdoms have now been completely divided up by the two Yuan Dynasties, which is really gratifying and congratulatory.
Gongsun Zan's departure obviously would not be the end. Soon, another large-scale turmoil occurred in the coalition forces.
"My lord, there is news from Yuan Shu that Dong Zhuo seems to have sent troops to invade Nanyang."
Because Xu You went south to Jingzhou and Guo Tu went north to Youzhou, this time the person reporting on the work was replaced by Feng Ji, who was equally ambitious.
"What's going on? Could it be that Dong Zhuohuo passed through Yique Pass and went south? What's going on with those sentinels and agents? Such an important situation will be missed! Who is responsible for this matter!"
Yuan Shao was very angry, yes, very angry. Although Nanyang was the territory of his mortal enemy Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao finally spent a huge price to force Dong Zhuo back to Luoyang. Once he was allowed to go south and escape,
, then Dong Zhuo, who controlled Nanyang and Hanoi, the two wings of Luoyang, was basically unable to shake him. Even if he was willing to separate one side, he would only be defeated in the end.
"This..." Although I really wanted to take the opportunity to frame him, I gave up this idea after thinking about it for a while. "This news was provided by the Mianshui Man living in the northwest of Nanyang. I think the Dong thief must have gone east to fight.
Pass and enter Nanyang."
"Is there any movement in Luoyang?"
"The Dong thieves seem to be planning something. Recently, small groups of Dong troops often plunder the villages around Luoyang, kill the men, and carry back the wealth, women and children in large carts. Although Dong Jun is brutal, there are occasional lawbreakers after entering Luoyang.
, such a large-scale operation is unheard of, and Ji thought there must be more to it than just exposing his true nature."
"Then why do you think Dong Zhuo did this?" Seeing Feng Ji's expression, Yuan Shao knew that the other party had a conspiracy. "I thought..."
That night, Yuan Shao and Feng Ji Bingzhuye talked for a long time...
Not long after, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and Kong Ni had to lead their troops to leave because of Zhang Ji and Ma Teng's invasion of Nanyang. Among them, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian rushed to the battlefield of Nanyang, while Kong Ni arrived at Yingchuan to prevent Dong Zhuo from sending troops south.
Attacked from both sides with Zhang Ji's troops.
As a result, the number of people in the lively coalition fighting against Dong suddenly dropped by more than half in less than a month.
