As soon as Wuguan was broken on the 25th, Jia Xu did not guard Wuguan, but only distributed supplies in Guanzhong. Every soldier received the supplies and immediately set off to the west. Within two days, all the supplies in Guanzhong were distributed.
At this time, the Liang people's forward had already crossed Shang County and headed straight for Shangluo.
No one could have predicted how quickly Wuguan defeated the city. However, Shang County was more than a hundred miles away from Wuguan, and Shangluo was another hundred miles away from Wuguan. They did not even receive military reports of Wuguan's destruction, so naturally they did not
As a precaution, unexpectedly, I woke up one night and went up to the city for inspection. I suddenly found that a large number of Liang people had appeared below the city and were surrounded by them.
The soldiers in the two counties were unavailable. In addition, during the war the previous year, a large number of people in the two counties moved to Henan with Guan Yu, which made it impossible for them to recruit civilians. Guo Si, as the vanguard, did not hesitate and launched an attack at dawn.
They had their own ladders and jumped in from a place without fire. No one in the city could resist. As a result, neither county could hold on for an hour, and both were quickly attacked by the Liang people.
As a result, on the night of June 30th, Guo Bang passed through Lantian Valley and Zhongling Mountain and arrived at the east bank of Ba River. Looking back at the vast land under the moonlit night, the valleys on both sides of the road surged behind him like waterfalls, while the stars in the sky
It flows to the northwest like the vast sea. Between the sky and the earth, the Liang people's team spreads for nearly a hundred miles. The sound of horse hooves and golden iron is like an endless river. The apes in the mountain forest are alarmed and continue to cry in the wilderness.
But Liang Ren's heart was unusually calm. Because the world ahead suddenly opened up, they had entered Guanzhong, and between Bashui and Lishui, Lantian City was still unconscious.
But they are not defenseless. On the contrary, Lantian City is now brightly lit, and the new Lantian Commander Xu Yi is nervously preparing for war. However, those preparing for war are not the cold soldiers in the distance, but the mutinous refugees in the city.
It turns out that although Zhang Hao, the previous Lantian magistrate, was appointed by Dong Zhuo, he was also considered to be caring and simple, and was well loved by the local people. However, since Wang Yun came to power, he had eliminated the third auxiliary officials, and Zhang Hao was also regarded as a member of Dong Zhuo's party.
When he was dismissed and imprisoned, Dahong and Han Rong interceded on his behalf, saying that he was quite popular among the people and it would be unfavorable to kill him. However, Wang Yun wrote back and said: It is already a serious crime to accept Dong Zhuo's orders, but to show kindness to Dong Zhuo is an even greater crime.
The first class actually rejected it directly for this ridiculous reason and sent his disciple Xu Yi to serve as the Lantian Order.
Xu Yi knew that he had a heavy responsibility and that if he was not careful, he might cause a civil uprising. However, he unexpectedly encountered an unsolvable problem as soon as he came to the county.
Zhang Hao recruited some refugees in February and reclaimed wasteland in the south of the city. He made an agreement with the refugees that the county government would distribute spring seeds and grains. The autumn harvest income would be for the public and six people. However, after Zhang Hao was dismissed, the grain from the county treasury was also transferred.
The refugees had nothing to eat these days, so they besieged the county government and asked for an explanation. How could Xu Yi get the rice grains that he had moved away? He could only delay it again and again. When he was desperate, he used the small money issued by Dong Zhuo to cope with it.
The incident was over. As a result, the refugees were so angry that they mutinied and besieged the county government office. Xu Yi had to lead the county soldiers in the city to suppress them.
The refugees used tree trunks as trunks and were not wearing armor. Although they were large in number, they were no match for the county soldiers. After the leaders were hacked to death, the remaining refugees lost their organization and were quickly beaten to death by the county soldiers.
They retreated and were about to die in the city. At this time, several refugees who saw that the situation was not good fled eastward. They happened to meet Guo Si's troops who were resting in Ba River. Guo Si stopped them and learned that Lantian was here.
There was great chaos at that time, and I was overjoyed. I immediately led the crowd to continue the rapid march towards Lantian City, using the refugees as my guide.
Xu Yikankan led the crowd to expel the refugees from the city. He vaguely saw another group of people coming in the direction of their escape. He thought they were Shangluo Mountain bandits who the refugees had colluded with, and laughed at the refugees directly at the county soldiers: "I
I felt a little guilty at first, thinking that it was the incompetence of the county government that allowed these rogues to make trouble, but now they have no regard for the benevolence of the county government and have colluded with the bandits again and again. They really deserve to be killed! Wait until the bandits come, don't do it.
Keep it and receive five baht according to your head after the war!"
When the county soldiers heard that the reward was not a small sum, they immediately became excited and immediately chased the refugees eastward. However, where they expected, they bumped into the most elite Liangzhou horses in the world! The Liang people in front of them almost met each other and killed them.
The county soldiers leaving the city were divided into two sections. Guo Si from the rear commanded the two troops to launch a battle line, and the fleeing refugees were connected together. The cicadas chirping and frogs croaking in the midsummer were all interrupted by a night owl-like cry in the dark night.
The sound of killing was drowned out, and when the prey in the net were exhausted, the Liang people opened their bows and shot at will in the dark night. At dawn, the refugees who led the way found Xu Yi's body from the pile of corpses.
, the battle came to an end, and the remaining defenders in the city did not dare to fight, and fled directly to Chang'an from the north gate.
On June 30, the Liang people occupied Lantian, less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
When Chang'an got the news, the whole court was in panic. Situ Wang Yun hurriedly asked Lu Bu, the Fenwu general who was dispatched from Yiwu, for advice. Lu Bu was quite helpless. He had persuaded Wang Yun many times before that he should conspire with him in military and state affairs.
, especially the appointment and removal of personnel in Jingzhao. He also had many suggestions for the appointment and removal of Zhang Hao and Yang Ru, but Wang Yun could not listen to them. Now that the big mistake had been made, he was still needed to take care of the funeral arrangements.
After thinking for a while, Lu Bu decided to send a letter to Yizhou and Bingzhou again, asking them to send aid to Chang'an. The envoys sent to Yizhou were Liu Fan and Liu Zhang, sons of Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou. Liu Fan spent a year in prison.
Yu, who had never been dealt with by Dong Zhuo, now happened to be on good terms with Liu Yan. The emissary sent to Bingzhou was Jin Xiang, who was originally from Taixue and a disciple of Chen Chong. Before leaving, Lu Bu
He specifically told Jin Xiang that even if he could not send troops, he must let Ting Jian hold off the enemies in Hedong of Shangjun. However, Jin Xiang soon suffered the same fate as Zhong Yao, which was not what Lu Bu could have expected.
After sending the envoy, Lu Bu bid farewell to Wang Yun and personally led the army to Duling. Duling is the tomb of Emperor Zhongzong Xiaoxuan. It is located between Lantian and Chang'an. Its city is located in Hongguyuan, with a high terrain, and the entire original direction runs from northwest to southeast.
It rises like a staircase and is clearly divided into three steps, with steep slopes connecting each level. It is located in the middle of the city, overlooking Chang'an City, and is surrounded by Chan River and Liao River to the east and west. It is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The place is also a scenic spot for climbing high and looking far away. Therefore, Li Bai, a later generation, wrote in a poem: "Climb to the Du Tomb in the south and look between the Five Tombs in the north. The autumn water is bright and the sun is setting, and the light is extinguishing the distant mountains."

This is the time when the scenery is most beautiful, with a blazing sun in the blue sky, and endless green forests on both sides of the official road, like clouds and mist, turning the bright flames of the sun into green, as if the wind is also green.
The water is also green, and wisps of pure jade smoke linger in the hazy valley in the distance, where is Lantian.
Lu Bu was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Lantian City could not be seen here, but it was less than fifty miles away from Lantian. Liangren could arrive in one day. He looked at the foothills to the east of the city, and his chest was filled with the sound of gold and iron. He put
Gao Shun and Song Xian called over and asked them to lead four thousand people to camp in the mountains. In response, they sent Zhang Liao and others to repair the camp in front of the city, while he and Du Ling ordered Dou Xiu to inquire about the enemy's situation.<
/p>
"It's been three days since Liangren arrived, and they still haven't made any move?"
"The scouts who came back yesterday said that there are still people coming from Liang from the southwest, probably from Wuguan. The rebels are so elusive. They are obviously marching hard, regardless of fatigue. They have been marching so fast these days, and they must be marching now.
I am definitely very tired, and I need to take some time to rest before I can make any plans again."
Lu Bu thought for a moment and agreed with Dou Xiu's judgment. The Liang people were resting and recuperating. They would not launch an offensive in the next few days. They still had some time to hold on. However, the enemy was currently strong. Waiting for the enemy in the city would easily hurt the morale of the army. Considering the small town of Lantian
, cannot accommodate tens of thousands of troops, and some Liang people must be camping and resting outside the city. Lu Bu is determined to try to lightly attack Lantian at night to boost the morale of the army.
That night, he ordered three thousand troops and quickly rushed south along the dense forest between Hongguyuan and Lishan Mountain. For the cavalry, the fifty-mile mountain road only lasted two hours, but Lu Bu had not yet left the forest, but after passing by
When we were at a mountain col, there was a sudden noise in front of us, and then some arrows were fired with the night wind. It turned out that the Liang people had been prepared for a long time, and actually set up camp and hidden sentry in the forest, and the night attack suddenly came to nothing. But
Lu Bu wanted to pull out the fortress and retreat, but soon the Liang people from the wilderness arrived, so he had to leave dozens of corpses and quickly retreat to Du Ling.
The first battle was unfavorable, so Lu Bu gave up the idea of attacking the camp, and instead worked with Zhang Liao to reorganize the defenses and clear the trees outside the city in preparation for the Liang people to attack. After four days of this, Lu Bu concluded that the Liang people had completed their preparations, and a fierce battle began.
When it was inevitable, Liang Ren finally took action.
But to Lu Bu's expectation, the Liang troops were heading northeast, not towards Du Ling in the northwest. This time, it was Li Jue who led the charge. He led eight thousand vanguards and led the mountains and Li along the tomb.
The trail between the mountains goes straight to Zheng County!
The troops in Zheng County were empty, and Li Jue defeated them in a moment. Then the Liang people crossed the Weishui River and arrived at the north bank. Without stopping, the 70,000-strong army successively attacked Xiagui, Lianshao, Chongquan, Wannian, and finally came to Jin. They attacked Jin in half a day.
Next.
At this time, Lu Bu was able to lead his troops to Gaoling. Faced with the corrupt situation in Feng Yi County, Lu Bu felt desperate. He did not expect that with such an advantage, the Liang people did not attack Chang'an first, but instead gave up their way back.
Coming to join forces with Xu Rong and other tribes, acting like this and trapping yourself between Bingzhou and Xijing is a desperate move. If you can't succeed at once, you don't know how many people will be dead in the wilderness in Guanzhong.
This strategy naturally came from Jia Xu's hand. After entering Wuguan, Jia Xu analyzed Li Jue and Guo Si and said: "The success or failure of this war lies not in Xijing, but in Bingzhou. The key to the dispute between Qin and Qin lies with Jin. If Liu is not defeated,
Chen, even if we have Chang'an, it will be nothing but dung!" So he decided to abandon the retreat and join up with Xu Rong, Niu Fu and others first. This was actually what he had conceived earlier.
Now, as soon as Jia Xu entered Linjin, he sent envoys to Shangjun and Hedong to contact Niu Fu, Xu Rong, and Zhang Ji. He had already contacted them before meeting Duan Xuan, and this meeting was a matter of course. By July
On the tenth day of the lunar month, all the remaining generals of Dong Zhuo, except Duan Zhen, gathered in Linjin. They discussed for a day, and on the eleventh day they unfurled flags and put up cloths, claiming that there were traitors in the country, stealing power for political affairs, and deceiving the emperor.
, killed loyal ministers indiscriminately, so he raised troops to serve the king, and Qing Jun sided with him until Wang Yun was killed!
All the Liang people withdrew from the defense area, and all the land east of Hedong and Shangjun were abandoned. They originally relied on Dong Zhuo, such as the Dugu tribe, and the remnants of the Baibo army also followed suit. Then Xu Rong pushed stones to block the mountain road, and Niu Fu burned the transport ships after crossing the river. By July
Twenty-three, all the Liang people's army gathered in the area of more than a hundred miles west of the river, south of the Luo River, and north of the Wei River. The number of people was about 150,000, and they were all soldiers who had been fighting for many years.
.
Banners are flying to the sky, and armor is shining brightly. Since the founding of our country, there has never been such a grand military appearance.
