Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 195 Retreat to Chang'an

Li Ru said again: "Teacher, don't be in a hurry. In my opinion, we still sent Marquis Wen to lead Bingzhou wolf riders out of the pass for a few days to fight, but we secretly sent the army back to Luoyang. On the one hand, our army is short of money and food, and Luoyang is rich. There are so many households, we can confiscate their homes and lose their property for treason, and we will surely get a large amount of gold and silver treasures as military resources; on the other hand, Chang'an's personnel are withered, and there are thousands of miles of fertile fields without people to cultivate. The Taishi can order the army to drive away the people of Luoyang In this way, our army can learn from the Qin State in the past, reject the Kwantung heroes based on the solidity of the Wei letter, and take the opportunity to recuperate and try to make a comeback.”

Dong Zhuo was moved by Li Ru's words, he seemed to have seen the scene of him sweeping Liuhe like the first emperor, and he was overjoyed immediately, and he was full of praise for Li Ru's strategy.

In this way, Lu Bu also had the opportunity to continue to compete with the princes of the coalition army, and he did not object.As for the other generals, they have long been willing to retreat and be war-weary, and there is no reason not to refuse.

That night, Lv Bu returned to his barracks, summoned Gao Shun and the eight generals, and told them all about Dong Zhuo ordering him to stay at Hulao Pass, while he himself led the army to retreat secretly, search Luoyang, and retreat to Chang'an.

As soon as Zhang Liao heard it, his face changed immediately, and he said in a panic, "Wen Hou, this must be Li Ru's plan to kill with a knife. They Xiliang people have always had a grudge against us Bingzhou soldiers. This must be to make us Fighting the princes will waste your strength. Otherwise, after retreating to Chang'an, relying on Wenhou Wuyong to win the hearts of the three armies, Li Ru is guarding against us."

"Wen Yuan, Li Ru is my adoptive father's son-in-law. I still have some relationship with him. You shouldn't hurt me like this. I'm afraid you are overthinking." Lu Bu didn't take it seriously, thinking that Li Ru invited him because he saw him asking for a battle. He stayed as he wished.

"Hey!" Zhang Liao let out a long sigh. Seeing that Lu Bu didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to say more.

The next day, Dong Zhuo secretly led the Xiliang army back to Luoyang, leaving only Lu Bu and his Wolf Cavalry to guard Hulao Pass.

Before leaving, Li Ru warned again: "Marquis Wen only needs to stay there for five days before he can lead his army back. During this period, we need to be more prepared, and the fact that Hulao Pass is empty must not be discovered by the coalition forces."

Lu Bu patted his chest and responded, "Don't worry, Wenyou, with me, Lu Bu, let alone five days, even five months in May, there will be no problem."

Mengjin.

"Your Highness, Hulaoguan has handed over." Han Tuozhou walked in and reported to Liu Xie.

"How is it? How is the battle going?" Liu Xie was very excited. After waiting for so long, he finally got some news.

"Neither side has any reservations. All the soldiers of the army have been thrown into it. The battle lasted for a day, and it was hard to tell the winner. It was not until dark that the troops were withdrawn. Blood flowed into rivers, corpses piled up into mountains, and crows flew in groups. The battle was very tragic. During the chaotic battle, Sun Ce single-handedly killed Hua Xiong to avenge Zu Mao, and Zhao Yun led Bai Ma Yicong against Fei Xiong's army, and rushed to kill the enemy general Hu Che'er. The two became famous because of this, and Sun Ce's reputation as the little overlord spread all over the world. The courage of Zhao Yun also made the entire Xiliang army terrified."

"What's Dong Zhuo's reaction now?" Liu Xie asked again, he was not surprised by the record of the two.

"In the past few days, Lu Bu led his troops out of the pass to fight, and the coalition forces mostly sent generals to besiege, and did not give Lu Bu any chance. Both sides won and lost each other, but neither of them broke out in the same tragic battle as before."

"Only Lu Bu? This Dong Zhuo is probably trying to sneak away like Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass. Luoyang will be in great trouble." Liu Xie knew right away that Dong Zhuo must have withdrawn to Luoyang secretly.

"Old Dian Zhongkang, go and invite the two gentlemen and the generals to discuss matters."

"Here."

When Guo Jia and the others arrived, Liu Xie asked Han Kanzhou to tell them the latest battle report.Said: "Dong Zhuo must have led his army back to Luoyang, preparing to collect wealth and retreat to Chang'an. According to Wei Han's rule, he would sit back and watch the fighting among the heroes in Guandong. With the brutality of the Xiliang army, Luoyang will surely fall into chaos. Now, all the generals will lead with me The cavalry rushed to Luoyang, looking for opportunities to fight. The two military advisors and the two generals Li Dian and Yu Jin led the infantry to follow behind. They did not intend to win a big victory, but mainly to preserve their strength."

"Here!" All the generals generously accepted their orders.

At that moment, Liu Xie personally led five generals Li Cunxiao, Xue Li, Su Lie, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, led three thousand cavalry, and rushed to Luoyang in the starry night.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already led his troops back to Luoyang. He summoned the surviving veterans of the Han Dynasty and said, "Now that the thieves are powerful, you have to retreat to the old capital to avoid the edge. You are all veterans of the Han Dynasty. You should pack up and go Our family is still in the old capital."

Situ Yang Biao said: "Guanzhong is dilapidated and scattered. Now donate the ancestral temple and abandon the Huangling Mausoleum for no reason, fearing that the people will be disturbed. It is easy to move the world, but difficult to secure it. Please think twice!"

Dong Zhuo was so angry that he waved his big hand to tear his face apart and said angrily: "Even our family dares to interfere with the queen mother, and even the young emperor dares to kill. Do you really think that our family is negotiating with you? If I hadn't seen these few things of yours Old life is still useful, our family has long been facing each other with swords and axes, and chopped off your heads to make peace. Don't be too long-winded, what our family says is Gangchang!"

The officials were too frightened to say anything, and they all agreed to go home and order their families to pack their luggage and go west together.

Dong Zhuo personally led an army to open the way, and ordered Li Su to lead five thousand cavalry, and ransacked all the wealthy households in Luoyang, confiscating their properties, and getting countless money and food.He also ordered the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si to lead the troops to drive all the people in Luoyang to Chang'an. When the people refused to follow, Li Jue ordered the people to form a team and the inter-army team to drag each other into custody, causing countless people to die in the ravine.Li Jue and Guo Si connived at the soldiers to rob food, rape women, and the crying of the people shook the heavens and the earth.The two thought that the people were walking too slowly, so they sent [-] troops behind to supervise them, holding white knives, but whoever neglected them would kill them all the way.It is true that there are bones on the road, and there are many mourners.

By the time Liu Xie led the cavalry to Luoyang, the former imperial capital had become desolate, with ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and countless corpses. It was Liu Xie who was determined to be a ruthless hero in troubled times. Can't help but feel uncomfortable.

"The people of Xiliang are really worse than animals, and they don't even want to let innocent people go." Liu Xie said angrily.

"Your Highness, Dong Zhuo has already led the army out of the west gate of Luoyang half a day ago. Now that Luoyang is empty, we can drive straight in and kill the remnants."

"Not good!" Liu Xie's face changed drastically when he heard the words. If Dong Zhuo left like this, I'm afraid Li Ru would burn the city with fire, how many people would be burned to death, and whether there was still time for his jade seal to be found. unknown.After all, once the fire started, it might not be able to stop for ten and a half months. At that time, the princes should catch up, and it would be even more difficult for him to get the jade seal without anyone knowing.

"Quick, let's speed up and rush to the palace!"

　I went to the hospital yesterday because of a headache, there are only two shifts, sorry.
