Chapter 157 The military situation is urgent, hurry up! Hurry up and invite Kede out of the customs!
Xu Huang was on horseback and led a troop of troops forward.
The troops and horses he led were in good order and looked more formal than many official official troops and horses.
Even though his identity is Baibo thief.
There is nothing good to say about becoming a Baibo thief.
After all, his home is in Yangxian County, Hedong Province, where everyone in his family lives.
Moreover, he himself was famous in the county for his bravery and some battle strategies.
Yang Feng, a well-known powerful and wealthy man in the county, personally hosted a banquet for him and invited him to join the Baibo bandits.
And at the beginning, it was explained that Yang County is not the only one who joins the Baibo bandits, there are also many wealthy and powerful families in other counties in Hedong, and they will also join the Baibo bandits.
Joining the Baibo Thieves is not really about becoming a Baibo Thief, it is just to use the name of the Baibo Thieves to unite to protect themselves.
Because the imperial court was becoming more and more chaotic, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were increasing, and all kinds of clever excuses were made, which made people very annoying, and many people were made unable to live because of this.
Moreover, this also has the advantage of pushing Mrs. Guo, a serious yellow turban thief, to the front to take charge of things.
When the time comes, things are really going wrong. It would be easier to push Mrs. Guo out.
As a local and not a wealthy person, Xu Huang had no other option but to agree to such an invitation.
After all, his home is here in Yang County, with young and old at home, and his reputation is well known. Under such circumstances, it would be okay for him not to accept the invitation.
After becoming a Baibo thief, Xu Huang quickly became a good general under Yang Feng by virtue of the reputation he accumulated in his daily life and his excellent skills.
Yang Fengduo relied on Xu Huang.
At this time, it was only two days since Xu You entered Dongjun and met Mrs. Guo, Yang Feng and others.
At this time, when Niu Fu and others were evacuating, a certain degree of water release was carried out. There were no Baibo thieves who really led the troops to fight to the death. At this time, they made a big move again, moving all the way to the southeast of Luoyang.
It is conceivable that Yang Feng, Han Xian and others accepted the suggestions and conditions given by Xu You and prepared to send troops to defeat the great Han Zhongliang Dong Fangbo who was entrenched in Luoyang.
Put pressure on Thief Dong.
Even though Xu Huang had experienced many battles in these days and gained some power and experience, he still had no confidence in Dong Zhuo's defeat.
Not only did he have no confidence, but people like Yang Feng and Han Xian also had no confidence.
After all, Dong Zhuo's troops are too powerful!
However, they still led their soldiers and horses to dispatch at this time.
Because the counselor who came from Yuan Shao said that he and others did not need to really defeat Dong Zhuo. They only needed to knock out some of Dong Zhuo's troops and pretend to attack Dong Zhuo with all their strength, and join the rest of the people who attacked Dong Zhuo.
Together, it would be good to put pressure on Dong Zhuo.
After a period of time like this, Dong Zhuo will lead his troops and leave Luoyang...
Regarding these matters, although Xu Huang also had some ideas of his own, his current status was not enough, and his ideas were not very mature and complete, so he followed the orders passed down by Yang Feng and others and quickly headed to the southeast of Dongjun.
The edge moves there.
The target is Zhang Jibu, who led his troops all the way to Luoyang after covering Niu Fu and others' departure!
…
When Zhang Jide was followed by a large number of Baibo thieves, his men were crossing the Yellow River here!
Even before crossing the river, he had already arranged a lot of troops and horses to line up near the ferry to prepare for a possible surprise attack.
However, when he suddenly heard such news, his face couldn't help but darken.
He quickly ordered those who were crossing the river to hurry up and cross the river.
Those who have not crossed the river will make further preparations based on the original preparations to block the white wave bandits who come to attack!
Not long after his order was issued, a large number of Baibo thieves appeared within his sight.
After seeing the number and menacing appearance of these white wave thieves, Zhang Ji's expression became even more gloomy...
"Uncle, don't be alarmed! Watch my nephew lead the troops and charge for a while to scare the thieves!"
Zhang Xiu, who had seemed disappointed before because he could not defeat the Baibo thieves or kill the people of the Wei clan in Hedong, jumped out at this time and strode to Zhang Ji to ask for orders to attack the thieves.
As a result, Zhang Ji ordered his own soldiers to tie up Zhang Xiu unexpectedly and hurriedly crossed the river.
Zhang Ji glanced at Zhang Xiu, who was tied up, gagged, and struggling. He pulled out his sword expressionlessly, came to the front, and personally commanded the troops to fight against the Baibo thieves...
A big battle broke out here soon, with blood spilled and heads rolling...
One day later, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang received an urgent military message overnight. It was said that Zhang Ji's troops were retreating from Hedong and were crossing the Yellow River when they encountered a sudden attack by a large number of Baibo thieves.
Captain Zhang Ji led his men to resist desperately, but they were outnumbered and many soldiers died in the battle.
The number of soldiers who fell into the Yellow River and drowned was no less than five hundred!
During the first battle, Captain Zhang Ji was wounded. If the soldiers and horses had not crossed the river first, he would have defended on the spot and resisted desperately.
Moreover, the three thousand soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo initially sent to support Zhang Ji and others arrived at the most critical moment and immediately went into battle to help resist the Baibo bandit offensive and stabilize the position. I am afraid that now Mengjin is crossing the south bank.
It has also been captured by the Baibo thieves!
Now, the situation is not optimistic either.
The Baibo thieves, who had not dared to fight with them in the past, now charged at them desperately, hoping to seize the ferry and attack Luoyang.
They are also desperately resisting...
The purpose of sending people here at this time is to request the Prime Minister for emergency support. Otherwise, the Mengjin Ferry would not be able to be saved!
After Dong Zhuo received such urgent military information, he could not sit still and immediately began to take action.
The Mengjin Ferry must be defended. If it cannot be defended, the white thieves from the north who suddenly go crazy will be able to drive straight in and fight all the way to Luoyang City.
It was at this time that another urgent military message was sent.
It is said that Sun Jian and Sun Wentai were reorganizing their troops. On the surface, they attacked Dagu Pass, which is south of Luoyang and belongs to the south gate of Luoyang. In fact, the key target of the attack was Guangcheng Pass, which was indeed more remote!
Previously, after noticing Sun Jian's move to lead his troops to the south of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had already mobilized troops and horses to reinforce the passes south of Luoyang.
Although Dong Zhuo has many troops and horses, they are not enough because they are scattered among so many parties. Therefore, there are more and less supports.
Among them, Dagu Pass, as the gateway to the south of Luoyang, is the focus of reinforcements.
Sun Jian's various performances before seemed to regard Dagong Pass as the main target of the attack.
In the end, Sun Jian unexpectedly attacked Guangcheng Pass, which was a side pass...
Under such circumstances, Guangchengguan suddenly became anxious...
Judging from the situation reported by the urgent messenger, by this time, Guangcheng Pass would have been completely lost!
Guangcheng Pass is only ninety miles away from Luoyang City.
After passing Guangcheng Pass, there is no obstacle to going to Luoyang.
Suddenly, the north and south sides of Luoyang were in emergency at the same time!
This made Dong Zhuo, who had always been very confident in his military power, particularly surprised and anxious.
However, after so many years of fighting, he still has military qualities.
"Immediately send an order for General Xu Zhonglang to lead the troops and horses out of Luoyang as quickly as possible to stop Sun Jian!
We must not let Sun Jian come to Luoyang City!"
"Send the order to Fengxian, and ask Fengxian to lead his troops and horses, quickly leave the north gate, and rush to Mengjin Ferry to protect Mengjin Ferry!"
After thinking quickly, Dong Zhuo immediately issued an order and used the two trump cards left in Luoyang directly.
After receiving the order, the person who delivered the order galloped all the way to the stable. After riding on the horse, he whipped the horse several times and ran out.
Li Ru, who came in a hurry, already knew what happened and how his father-in-law responded.
At this time, Li Ru looked very anxious.
Because for a moment, what happened was a little fast and a little violent, making people feel like they couldn't react.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
After pacing back and forth in the room for a long time, Li Ru finally figured out some things.
"Father-in-law, it's too dangerous to stay in Luoyang like this!
The remaining troops and horses are less than four thousand!
Moreover, there are not even a thousand elite troops.
Once there is any disturbance, problems can easily arise in Luoyang.
If there is a problem here in Luoyang, it will really be a big problem!"
Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo eagerly.
Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this and said: "I know that there are too few soldiers and horses left in Luoyang.
But no matter what, I can't sit back and watch these people lead their troops to break through the defense line and attack Luoyang City!
I, Dong Zhuo, cannot afford to lose this person!!"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Ru to speak, Dong Zhuo continued: "I will immediately send people to Sishui Pass, ask Kede to leave his general flag, lead some soldiers and horses, quietly return from Sishui Pass, and rush to Meng Jin's aid urgently."
Cross!
After Kede arrived at Mengjin Ferry, he immediately asked Fengxian to leave some troops there to assist Kede in attacking the Baibo bandits, and then quickly returned with his troops to strengthen the defense of Luoyang City.
At Sishui Pass, Kede had already displayed his majesty, which made the people in Guandong feel frightened. They left Kede's flag there and let Kede quietly lead his troops away. Those in Guandong would not know and would not dare to
act rashly.
Moreover, later on, even if those people knew the true situation of the matter, as long as Hua Xiong and others who stayed at Sishui Pass could not escape. Relying on a world-famous pass like Sishui Pass, those people wanted to be within the calculation of time.
, it was impossible to conquer Sishui Pass.
After such a long period of time, I can basically get things done..."
In terms of military affairs, Li Ru was not as good as Dong Zhuo. He was not good at the specific operation of mobilizing troops and horses.
What he is better at is planning some things.
At this time, he heard his father-in-law speak out about the follow-up military arrangements. After some thought, he felt that his father-in-law's idea was acceptable, so he didn't say much and just nodded.
"Wen You, you need to think more about how you can solve this situation and liberate us from this predicament."
After arranging people to quickly go to Sishui to convey the order to Liu Cheng, Dong Zhuo spoke to Li Ru like this.
It was obvious that he already felt uncomfortable with the situation in front of him.
Facing such a group of people who couldn't beat him, he was forced to feel like he couldn't resist with both sides blocked.
This feeling is not good at all!
Li Ru heard what his father-in-law said, nodded and said nothing.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo didn't say anything to urge him.
Because he knows that this is a very big matter and it is not easy to come up with a way to deal with it.
Of course, another reason is that he knows his son-in-law very well and knows that he is a very thoughtful person, but he just lacks some quick wit.
Many things require a lot of thinking before you can come up with a solution...
…
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has thought of a way to deal with it!"
The next morning, Li Ru, whose eyes were bloodshot and had two big dark circles, hurried all the way to Dong Zhuo's place.
It is obvious that Li Ru, who has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, did not sleep all night after receiving the task from his father-in-law.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately backed away and asked Li Ru how to do it.
After Li Ru took a breath, he slowly spit out a few words: "Move the capital, go to Chang'an!"
Even for a being like Dong Zhuo, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch after hearing what Li Ru said suddenly.
Li Ru didn't wait for Dong Zhuo to ask questions before he continued to explain.
"Luoyang is in a very good location, at the junction of the west and the heart of the Central Plains, which is conducive to controlling the whole country.
But once a war happens in a place like this, it will easily become a place of four battles, and those who own Luoyang will be besieged from all sides.
Now is the best testimony.
As soon as we leave Luoyang, this situation will collapse.
Moreover, with his father-in-law standing here, Yuan Shao and others can easily find a common target and work together to attack his father-in-law.
After his father-in-law led his troops to flee to Chang'an, Yuan Shao and others lost their common goal. According to their virtue, internal strife was inevitable.
My father-in-law let them fight for a while. After the internal strife is over, if we send troops all the way east from Chang'an to attack these people, they will definitely be overwhelming...
After my father-in-law's troops arrived in Chang'an, the threat from Xiliang was defeated by itself.
According to the virtues Han Sui has shown in the past, as long as a large number of your soldiers and horses gather in Chang'an, father-in-law, this guy will immediately shrink to the deepest part of Liangzhou and dare not show his head..."
After some analysis, Li Ru told Dong Zhuo many advantages of leaving Luoyang and going to Chang'an.
After Dong Zhuo heard this and thought about it carefully, he felt his heart skip a beat.
After thinking back and forth like this for a long time, Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "This method of yours is indeed a good one. It can break the current predicament immediately and leave a back-up for subsequent counterattacks.
However, there is no rush to implement this matter now. It will not be too late to move after Sun Jian and the Baibo bandits have been defeated.
Lest the rest of the world think that I, Dong Zhuo, moved the capital because I couldn't defeat these thieves..."
…
Liu Cheng led 5,000 troops and horses, and headed quickly towards the direction of Mengjindu...
