Let's turn around and talk about the protagonist (Shu Dan) Zuo Aoran. Zuo Aoran wanted to borrow the route to Hanoi from Yuan Shao, send his army through Sishui Pass and stationed in Luoyang, so as to leave Tongguan and attack the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si who occupied Chang'an.
Now that Zuo Aoran has Liu Bian in his hands, he no longer has to worry about Liu Xie's life and death!
Originally, Yuan Shao had agreed to Zuo Aoran's borrowing, in order to show his goodwill to Zuo Aoran, so that the two families could avoid a military confrontation. However, Xu You, a counselor under Yuan Shao, told Yuan Shao that Zuo Aoran's method
It was a plan to use the road to attack Guo, and it was very likely that he would take the opportunity to reoccupy Hanoi. Yuan Shaonai was famous for his scheming, and after repeated concerns, he replied to Zuo Aoran and said that Zuo Aoran could only bring a small number of troops.
Entering Hanoi and not staying there, the number of troops and horses is limited to three thousand, and the time limit is fifteen days.
After hearing this, Zuo Aoran became angry and immediately wanted to send troops to attack Hanoi to teach Yuan Shao, who was ignorant of current affairs, a lesson. Fortunately, Tian Feng, Chen Deng and Jushuo persuaded him, so Zuo Aoran did not send troops.
In Hanoi, Zuo Aoran finally had no other choice but to lead the Red Scarf Army across Hanoi and enter Sishui Pass.
Zuo Aoran only brought two scribes with him on this trip, namely the two brothers Chen Yu and Chen Cong. The generals also only brought He Yi, He Man, Wenpin, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, Ju Hu and Shamo.
Ke, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zu Lang, Guan Cheng, Tan Xiong, Li Yi, Lu Yu, Han Juzi, and the young outsider Niu Gang, this Niu Gang is completely a trainee.
As soon as Zuo Aoran arrived at Sishui Pass, Zhu Ci of the general town of Sishui Pass and Cui Lin, the military advisor and deputy chief of the town, naturally went out to greet him in person. Zuo Aoran originally wanted to stay in Sishui Pass for some time and then return.
Went to Hulao Pass for a while, then took a look at Luoyang, and finally sent his army out of Tongguan to attack Chang'an. However, Zuo Aoran learned one thing, and it was this incident that made Zuo Aoran lose this
Waiting for Yazhi to rush to Luoyang in a hurry, it was also because of this incident that Zuo Aoran went crazy for the second time!
Yang Biao's counterintuitive plan led to a big fight between Li Jue and Guo Si. This was what Zuo Aoran wanted to see, but what happened later made Zuo Aoran very angry. Yang Feng helped Xian Emperor Liu Xie because he did not conceal his decision to surrender to the commander.
, prompting Liu Xie to take the opportunity to escape from the control of the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si. However, neither Tongguan guard Cheliji nor Li Wenhou who joined the army seized the opportunity to send troops. Instead, Cao Cao reaped the benefits. Not only did Liu Xie return to Cao Cao, but also
A group of ministers were also welcomed into Xuchang by Cao Cao!
These are all secondary. The main thing is that Zuo Aoran was unable to depose and establish Liu Xie, so he dismounted Liu Xie and assisted Liu Bian in ascending the throne. The more important thing is Cao Cao. Historically, Cao Cao took the path of a traitor after he deposed the emperor to order the princes.
, In this way, Cao Cao will be on the opposite side of Zuo Aoran invisibly, and there will be a life-and-death fight between the two heroes!
Luoyang is named because it is located on the north bank of the ancient Luo River. The Heluo area centered on Luoyang is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. Here is the first dynasty, the "Xia" dynasty, and three generations of "Xia, Shang and Zhou".
”, is the hometown of “Hetu Luoshu”, has 105 emperors who visited Jiuzhou, is the spiritual hometown of the Chinese nation, and is the “earliest China”.
Luoyang borders Zhengzhou to the east, Sanmenxia to the west, borders Jiaozuo across the Yellow River to the north, and is connected to Pingding Mountain and Nanyang to the south. It is about 179 kilometers long from east to west and 168 kilometers wide from north to south. The terrain of Luoyang is high in the west and low in the east. The mountains, rivers and hills are intertwined within the territory, and the terrain is complex.
Mountainous areas account for 45.51%, hills 40.73%, and plains account for 13.8%. They are surrounded by Yushan Mountain, Mangshan Mountain, Qingyao Mountain, Jingzi Mountain, Zhoushan Mountain, Yingshan Mountain, Longmen Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, Wan'an Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, Daimei Mountain, and Songshan Mountain.
Waiting for more than ten mountain ranges.
Luoyang is densely covered with rivers and canals, belonging to the three major water systems of the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and Yangtze River. More than 10 rivers such as the Yellow River, Luohe, Yihe, Qinghe, Cihe, Tieluanhe, Jianhe, and Xianhe meander among them. There are "four sides"
It is known as "surrounded by mountains and six rivers flowing together, eight cities and towns, and thoroughfares for ten provinces".
Because Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing it. It is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the west, the Qinchuan River in Guanzhong when it comes out of Han Valley, Songyue Mountain in the east, Taihang in the north and the danger of the Yellow River, and Funiu in the south, surrounded by the mountains and rivers. Therefore, "Rivers and Mountains Gong"
Dai, the situation is the best in the world."
Zuo Aoran has never entered the city of Luoyang since he left Luoyang after the princes attacked Dong Zhuo. Now that Zuo Aoran once again saw Luoyang, the capital of kings and emperors of all generations, he was filled with emotion!
Fortunately, this ancient city was not burned down by the great devil Dong Zhuo. It was repaired by craftsmen led by Wang Chang, Hu Chi'er, Li Meng, Cui Yong, Wang Fang, Zhang Zi and others. This ancient capital is not only more majestic, but also unusually beautiful.
So majestic!
When Zuo Aoran came to Luoyang, Wang Chang, Hu Chi'er, Li Meng, Cui Yong, Wang Fang, Zhang Zi and others naturally went out of the city to greet them. Zuo Aoran was not polite to them, and briefly learned about the situation in Luoyang. It turns out that today's
Luoyang is different from the past. Not only has the city wall been raised, but there is also an urn city inside the city, and a city wall has been built outside the city. It can be said that it has three floors inside and three floors outside. Not only that, Wang Chang also advocates admitting refugees.
, selected the best from them to join the army, and the rest of the people were allowed to live and survive in Luoyang City or outside the city. Wang Chang's move greatly improved Zuo Aoran's reputation, adding 80,000 new soldiers to Luoyang, and 10,000 new villages and towns.
Nowadays, Luoyang is not only not in depression, but also prospering.
Zuo Aoran knew that today's Luoyang was only managed by these people, and he was very happy. He verbally rewarded several people. After a day's rest, he mobilized a hundred thousand troops from Luoyang's New Fourth Army and led the army to
When they marched to Hangu Pass, Zuo Aoran took Wang Chang, Li Meng, and Wang Fang with him, fearing that the army would not be able to be managed smoothly by himself, and Hu Chier temporarily took over Wang Chang's post.
Yan Rou, the guard general of Yougu Pass, heard that his lord and his army had arrived, and hurriedly went out of the pass ten miles to greet him. Now that Emperor Xian Liu Xie was no longer in Chang'an, Zuo Aoran was not in a hurry to attack Chang'an. The army rested at Yougu Pass for a few days, and then returned to Chang'an again.
Heading towards Tongguan, there were more than ten Dazhai under the banner of the Zuo Family Army on the way, and they were all built like fortresses.
Zuo Aoran asked someone to inquire carefully and found out that there were 80,000 Zuo family troops between Yougu Pass and Tongguan. They built 13 strongholds in total, divided between Shen Dan, Chang Diao, Zeng Xuan, Su Yong and Chen Taiwu.
There are six Dazhais on the side near Yougu Pass, and six Dazhais on the side near Tongguan. The Dazhai in the middle is where the five people usually discuss military aircraft and live.
These five people must have been transferred later. Originally, the army here was only 50,000. However, in order to accumulate strength, the Yougu Pass and Tongguan Offices sent some troops to these five people from time to time. Over time, 30,000 were sent.
The army.
Chang'an is also an ancient city with high and strong walls, making it difficult to capture. Zuo Aoran didn't know how many troops Li and Guo had. To be on the safe side, Zuo Aoran also recruited Shen Dan, Chang Diao, and Zeng Xuan.
Su Yong and Chen Tai mobilized an army of 50,000, and Zuo Aoran immediately led an army of 150,000 and set off.
