Chapter two hundred and forty first against the sky
The west wind is strong and the withered grass is yellow everywhere.
Compared with the original Battle of Hulao Pass in history, the time in this world is more than one or two months earlier.
Similarly, compared to the Battle of Hulao Pass in history, the scale of the Battle of Hulao Pass in this world is more than one and a half times larger.
Ling Tian, Lu Bu, and Sun Jian did not split up their troops, but brought all their troops to Hulao Pass and Luoyang. Whether they defend or not is of no significance to Ling Tian and the others.
Different from history.
At Dong Zhuo's time, Luoyang had to be defended no matter what, because neither Dong Zhuo nor the eighteen princes were sure of victory, but for Ling Tian and the others, it didn't matter what happened in Luoyang. What really made them strong was themselves.
The three of them and the three teams unite together and have every chance to completely annihilate the eighteen princes.
All we need to do is kill them all and kill all the eighteen princes. By then, there will naturally be nothing to defend. This is precisely why the best defense is to attack.
Ling Tian, Lu Bu, and Sun Jian stood proudly at the top of the city. Surrounding them were Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci, and other first-rate generals, as well as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Wei Xu, and other first-rate generals.
Apart from the powerful generals, at this time, Cao Cao was in charge of mobilizing grain and fodder and providing logistical support.
As for those who assisted Cao Cao, they were Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Xi Zhong and other top advisers. Well, Xi Zhong was named Zhicai. With Ling Tian and the other three in front, even top advisers like Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai were now
It can only be used as a military register.
"How about choosing one side and killing them directly..."
Standing at Hulao Gate, Ling Tian looked at Lu Bu and Sun Jian and spoke slowly.
Ling Tian essentially didn't want to play this game, even though he had said before that he wanted Nie Xiaoqian to consider becoming the emperor.
However, in this world, from the beginning, and even now, Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian only wanted to live a stable life.
Fighting with iron horses, high ambitions, drinking in the rivers and lakes... Ling Tian has experienced too many wonderful lives. For Ling Tian now, what he really wants is peace.
Therefore, if possible, he would not mind giving up his power. As for sharing power equally with Lu Bu and Sun Jian, there would be no problem.
As for Lu Bu and Sun Jian, these two people also didn't have much idea of power. Even though Lu Bu was forced to become a warlord in his original trajectory, he never really took the initiative to become a warlord.
Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and even Wang Yun, if any one of them treated him more sincerely, Lu Bu would be willing to become a general.
As for Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, the biggest stain in their original trajectory was that they secretly hid the Jade Seal, but in fact, it was really not Sun Wentai's fault. At that time, the emperor was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, and the eighteen princes were already playing tricks. Sun Wentai could give him the Jade Seal with his hands.
who.
You know, when Dong Zhuo was attacked, the one who fought hardest at the beginning was not Cao Cao, but Sun Jian.
However, after many fights, when they entered Luoyang, all the descendants of Master Kong gave up their loyalty to the emperor. What else could Sun Wentai do? Cao Mengde might still have some loyalty to the Han, or he might be a little unwilling, so he rushed out to play.
As soon as he committed suicide, he was defeated by Lu Bu and took the few remaining soldiers, patted their butts and left.
Therefore, to be honest, at this moment, as long as they have a reputation, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, and even Cao Cao have not only betrayed the Han Dynasty.
The key point is that Ling Tian himself has no rights, so Lu Bu, Sun Jian and Cao Cao will naturally not have any bad intentions towards Ling Tian. This also makes the cooperation between the four of them very tacit at this moment.
Of course, we can't say cooperation. At this moment, the four of them are indeed working for the Han Dynasty. However, Liu Xie is indeed too young and too ignorant, so the four of them can only discuss and arrange the national affairs of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, when it comes to fighting, Ling Tian plus Lu Bu and Sun Jian are already invincible. Most of the time, he still relies on Cao Mengde for state affairs. However, Cao Mengde is also a newbie now, so state affairs are convenient. To be honest, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's influence
Now that half of the world has rebelled, I am afraid that Cao Mengde will also capsize.
At this time, on Yuan Shao's side, in the military camp, a group of princes gathered together and were smiling happily.
"Luoyang has really made arrangements..."
Yuan Shao looked at a man standing in the middle and smiled and said.
Four generations and three princes, how many emperors have been killed, the Yuan family's background in Luoyang is beyond Ling Tian's imagination, of course, maybe Ling Tian doesn't care.
However, Ling Tian didn't care, but Yuan Shao would not use this knowledge. At this time, Luoyang was secretly controlled by Yuan Shao's people without Ling Tian and others even thinking about it. All it took was Yuan Shao's thought, and Luoyang immediately changed hands.
.
In fact, this is the real test of war in this era.
In a war, everyone does not have their own unique plans, and no one can use all his strength to fight hard.
"When the war reaches a critical moment, Luoyang will take action immediately. I want Ling Tian, Lu Bu, and Sun Jian to die without burial..."
Yuan Shao spoke coldly. After saying this, Yuan Shao looked at the other princes.
"The three people from Lingtian held the Emperor hostage. They were really bold and reckless and deserved death. This time we worked together to rescue the Emperor. In the future, we should be even more dedicated to guarding the Emperor..."
Upright words came out of Yuan Shao's mouth. Following these words, the eyes of the princes below lit up one after another.
What does it mean to wholeheartedly protect one side for the emperor? It means to promise the people here. After taking the emperor, they will be the ones who hold the emperor hostage. By then, the respective territories promised by Yuan Shao can become an eternal reality.
To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao's words were almost as good as the overlord's ability to enfeoff the princes at the end of the Qin Dynasty. However, at this time, Yuan Shao's method was also the most able to arouse the fighting spirit of the princes in front of him.
These princes are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. Why do they come here? Are they really loyal to the Han Dynasty? That is a joke.
Most of these people are sons of aristocratic families, but their families may not be very big, and they themselves are normally just chess pieces pushed out by their families. Now, it seems that they have the possibility of becoming chess players from chess pieces.
No one will refuse this.
The most important thing is that when Yuan Shao came up with the condition that everyone can become the master of the vassal states, even if some aristocratic families did not want the Han Dynasty to be destroyed, they had no choice.
Someone else has become the master of a vassal state, but you are still a family in someone else's vassal state, and you have conflicts with others. What will be waiting for you, as long as you are not crazy, you can probably imagine it.
"For the emperor..."
A prince shouted in a deep voice.
Everyone looked over and saw Liu Bei, who claimed to be the Empress of Zhongshan Prince Jing.
"For the emperor..."
Liu Bei glanced at Liu Bei calmly with disdain, and then everyone shouted loudly.
Most people here look down on Liu Bei, King Jing of Zhongshan, not to mention that Liu Bei’s so-called King Jing of Zhongshan has not yet succeeded. Even if it is true, it doesn’t matter. The Han Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such thing as every royal child is raised by the country.
Things that are happening.
There are limits to the royal family's fiefdoms. The imperial family's favor decree during Emperor Wu's period destined the royal family to gradually disappear. It's okay for a royal family with few heirs to pass it on to several generations.
But a royal family like King Jing of Zhongshan, which reproduces faster than pigs, will basically be nothing after three generations. Except for the surname Liu, no trace of the royal family can be found in those descendants.
"Brother..."
Behind Liu Bei, Zhang Fei sensitively noticed the looks in the eyes of the princes and immediately gritted his teeth and spoke.
Meng Zhang Fei is not really reckless. He is also born into a wealthy family and is still wary of the many princes here.
Of course, if Liu suffers from those humiliations, Zhang Fei will still take action. With his strength and great self-confidence, no one can be his opponent here.
"It's important to rescue His Majesty..."
Liu Bei spoke calmly.
At this time, Liu Bei still had a faint smile on his face, and it seemed that the mocking looks of the princes had not affected him at all.
"boom……"
At this moment, suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and ripples began to appear in the wine glasses in front of all the princes, as if some terrifying existence was approaching.
"Cavalry is cavalry, prepare for war, prepare for war..."
Next to Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, who had also seen the attitude of many princes towards Liu Bei and wanted to comfort Liu Bei, roared fiercely.
Among all the princes here, Gongsun Zan was the most sensitive to cavalry. At this time, he was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that this was a sign that a large number of cavalry were charging.
Ling Tian and Lu Bu were both heroes from the North, and their subordinates were basically all cavalry. Moreover, these two were born bold, or in other words, born brave.
Thousands of people dared to attack the rear area where there were over a million foreigners. Thousands of people dared to drive over a million foreign women, children and children to disrupt hundreds of thousands of foreign cavalry, and then charge directly.
On the other side, a single man charged and killed 50,000 of the most elite foreign cavalry. Less than 2,000 people dared to confront an army of 200,000 people.
With these two people here, I should have thought that this war cannot be judged with ordinary thinking.
Gongsun Zan's eyes were full of annoyance. He quickly stood up and ran outside. In the tent, many princes were stunned for a moment, and then they also rushed outside.
Being able to sit here may have seemed a bit stupid in the later stages of history, but it depends on who the opponent is. In fact, everyone here is an elite of this era.
Among the eighteen princes, the largest led more than one hundred thousand troops, while the smallest ones had tens of thousands of troops at worst. The number of people gathered together was over one million. Plus the heavy troops, the number of people in the endless military camps outside Hulao Pass was
Millions.
If you were an ordinary general, let alone charging into the formation, you might not even be able to tell the direction after entering the formation.
However, at this time, Ling Tian and Lu Bu had already led a cavalry charge separately, in two directions, in two straight lines. These two fierce men did not think about tactics at all, but just stood straight like that.
pierced through.
Behind the two men, far away, Sun Jian strode forward with an elite infantry force.
The infantry phalanx is not as violent as the cavalry, but it is more stable in momentum. Every step it takes makes the earth tremble, and the densely packed infantry formations are neatly arranged and march together, looking like a steel monster in front.
OK.
However, Sun Jian, who was walking at the front, looked at Ling Tian and Lu Bu who had opened two straight passages in the distance, and his eyes turned green.
"LZ must also train a cavalry, Da Rong, De Mou, Gong Fu. Believe it or not, sooner or later I will let you charge with the cavalry like this..."
With green eyes, Sun Jian spoke fiercely towards Zu Mao, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai who were following him.
In ancient times, no general disliked cavalry.
At this time, with the crazy charge of Ling Tian and Lu Bu, the coalition of princes at the forefront was completely in chaos. First tens of thousands of people collapsed, then hundreds of thousands, and finally, the entire army formation completely collapsed.
Ling Tian and Lu Bu seemed to be charging straight to kill, but these two people were not mortals. Not to mention Ling Tian, who had the best mental strength in the world, so he naturally knew how to kill in the most advantageous way.
As for Lu Bu, apart from not being a time traveler, this guy has never had a system. He is really cheating on cavalry combat alone. His wolf-like intuition means that he doesn't need to worry about the art of war at all. He only needs to follow the tactics.
Just rush intuitively.
In fact, abilities like Lu Bu's can basically be called superpowers, or in Chinese terms, talents. Just in the history of China, people with such talents, such as Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing, are all among them.
He can be said to be invincible as long as he lives.
"Are they, are they crazy? They killed them directly from the beginning..."
In the thicket of defeated soldiers, Yuan Shao looked at the defeated soldiers with dull eyes, and he felt dumbfounded.
He was still playing some conspiracy, thinking that during the confrontation, a Luoyang chaos would break the morale of Ling Tian and other troops. Who would have thought that others had no intention of engaging in a long war with him. When he came up, it would be Wang Zha, either you die or I die.
, by chance, he wiped out the coalition forces on his side so easily.
The collapse of millions of people, what kind of scene it is, is definitely difficult for outsiders to know. In the plains, hills, mountains, and outside Hulao Pass, the people who originally gathered have completely dispersed. If someone looks down from mid-air at this time, they can see it.
Come, the ground is densely packed with people running wildly.
In this scene, Ling Tian and Lu Bu did not pursue the kill rate, but just kept driving them away.
In fact, the casualties caused by such driving were greater than their killing.
Perhaps God couldn't bear this sight, so the sky gradually became gloomy, dense dark clouds began to gather, strong winds swept through, and then, large raindrops began to fall.
Between the sky and the earth, there were dense thunder and lightning, and the outside of Hulao Pass seemed to have turned into a desperate situation on earth in an instant.
Ling Tian and Lu Bu had already retreated to Hulao Pass when the color of heaven and earth changed.
At this time, in the mountains far away from Hulao Pass, a man in Taoist robes suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Luoyang, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Heaven is wrathful..."
Four low words came out of his mouth.
When he uttered these four words, a man who was also deep in the mountains, looked quite free and easy, looked towards the direction of Luoyang.
"Interesting, interesting... the red dragon was beheaded, and still dragging the body alive is really... unbelievable..."
