The Three Kingdoms

There was a glint of light in Li Ru's eyes, and he bowed and said, "Why don't you lead your troops back to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an, in response to the nursery rhyme. The nursery rhyme in the market recently said: There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east. The deer walks in Chang'an, there is nothing difficult. I think this saying "the first Han in the west" refers to the fact that Gaozu was prosperous in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on the twelve emperors; "the Han in the east" refers to the fact that Guangwu was prosperous in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Today, it is also said that there are [-] emperors. The fate of the heavens will return. Xiangguo will move back to Chang'an, so that there will be no danger."

The so-called nursery rhyme was just planned by Li Ru early on. He was not optimistic about this battle at the beginning, and the early layout was a good way for Dong Zhuo.

Chang'an is now the best retreat for the Xiliang army. It used to be the capital. Moving the emperor here is the best choice, without losing the coercion of the emperor, keeping the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty in your hands, and on the one hand, you can temporarily avoid the edge and show weakness Withdraw the troops and withdraw from the sight of the Kwantung Allied Army.Second, you can rely on Xiliang, control Guanzhong, and sit back and watch the chaos in the world.

"It's not what you said, but I really don't know." Dong Zhuo looked overjoyed, but after thinking about it, he said worriedly: "However, the hundreds of thousands of allied troops in the Kanto region are my confidant's serious troubles. If we don't get rid of them for a day, A certain family has trouble sleeping and eating!"

"Don't worry, my lord, Confucianism has a plan, and we can disperse the Kanto Alliance!" Li Ru's eyes were deep, his wisdom pearl was in his hand, and he said respectfully: "Confucianism has three strategies, which can make the eighteen princes of the Kanto region suspicious of each other, disintegrate and leave on their own. !"

"This statement is serious, Wen You come and tell me!"

Dong Zhuo looked happy, and hurriedly said.

[Text Chapter 14 Burning City]

Hulao Pass, the most powerful pass in the world, Xiliang's elite soldiers couldn't defend it, and the Kwantung Allied Forces couldn't attack, so the forces of both sides were deadlocked at this pass, and no one could do anything to the other.

After discussing with the princes of the Kanto, they decided to divide their troops.

Zhang Yang, the prefect of the above-mentioned party, was the main force, joined forces with Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. A total of four princes headed north, bypassing Shangdang, and went straight to Hanoi to attack Luoyang, the capital.

Along the way, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, joined forces with Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, and Kong Rong, the minister of Beihai. The four-way army, nearly [-], continued to attack Sishuiguan.

The remaining ten princes, led by the leader Yuan Shaobo's navy and Gongsun Zan's Beiping army, continued to attack the Hulao Pass, attracting the main force of the Xiliang army, and providing cover for the troops on the left and right wings.

……

Three days later, the army of the South Route, led by the Jiangdong Army, and the Army of the Fourth Route had gathered less than five miles away from Sishui Pass, and camped in Anzhai.

Returning to the Sishui pass again, the tiger Sun Jian couldn't help feeling a little bit, this time he calmed down and did not rush to attack the fortifications, but waited quietly for news from inside the pass.

For five consecutive days, Sun Jian's Jiangdong army did not attack Sishui Pass. Under the pass, they showed off their power and trained back and forth, but they never had the intention of attacking the pass.

Sun Jian obeyed Sun Quan's wishes and kept calm, but some people began to lose their temper. At noon one day, Bao Xin, Kong Rong, and Ma Teng came together and broke into the big tent of the Jiangdong camp.

"Wu Chenghou, what is your intention? Why don't you attack?" Bao Xin was already furious when he killed his younger brother at Sishui Pass. If the Jiangdong army hadn't stayed still, his troops would have already begun to attack the city. .

"Wu Chenghou, all the soldiers and horses in the Sishui Pass are now in the Tiger Prison, and the pass must be empty. Why do we wait and wait?" Ma Teng and Kong Rong were also a little puzzled.

"A certain family has a certain plan!"

Sun Jian sat cross-legged in front of the desk, raised his brows, stared at the three of them, and replied forcefully, "Since the lord has entrusted the full power of the South Army to a certain family, it is natural that a certain family is in charge. You will return first, within five days. A certain family can take this pass!"

According to Sun Jian, the three of them felt a little helpless, so they had no choice but to leave in frustration and return to their respective camps.

"Zhongmou, do you really think that the Xiliang defender in Sishuiguan will surrender to me?" After watching the three leave, Sun Jian heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. , Cheng Pu and the two came to him.

Sun Jian is a military general who was defeated at Sishui Pass, so he naturally wanted to regain the honor of the Jiangdong Army from Sishui Pass. If Sun Quan hadn't said something, how could he suppress the fighting spirit in his heart and not attack the pass for a long time.

Sun Quan once said that the guards in the pass will surrender themselves within ten days.

"Father, don't panic!"

Sun Quan smiled slightly and said: "I believe what Quan said. After thinking about it for the past two days, Quan should be running out of time. In less than five days, the master of this pass will surrender himself."

"Why is Second Young Master so determined?"

Cheng Pu asked with a calm expression.

"This general is nothing more than an abandoned son. If he doesn't surrender, how can he find a way out?" Sun Quan said with a sneer. In this era, he is also a little familiar with the way of speaking in this era, which is polite.

"Abandoned son?" Sun Jian Cheng Pu's expression was shocked.

"Dong Zhuo has already mobilized elite soldiers and returned to Luoyang. The next step is to abandon Luoyang. Emperor Chi went west to Chang'an, and the elite soldiers at Sishui Pass have already been mobilized, so the rest will become abandoned sons." Sun Quan analyzed. road.

"I see!"

Sun Jian and Cheng Pu suddenly realized.

……

Three days later, without Sun Quan's words, Wang Fang, the guard of Sishui Pass, received the news that Dong Zhuo had taken the emperor to the west, and without thinking about it, he directly led [-] troops to sacrifice Sishui Pass and surrender to Sun Jian.

"Hahaha... Zhongmou, it really is as you expected!"

Without spending a single soldier, he confiscated [-] soldiers and horses, including [-] cavalry, which was enough to make up for the vitality of the Jiangdong Army's last defeat. Sun Jian was overjoyed and laughed very satisfied.

"Second son is indeed talented and intelligent, with unparalleled strategies. It is expected that the enemy is thousands of miles away, and this Wang Fang really surrendered to our Jiangdong army."

The major generals of the Jiangdong Army and the young Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan's little face with admiration and conviction.

"The guard is called Wang Fang? This is Wang Fang, which way is sacred?" Sun Quan was at a loss at this time. He happened to remember this period of history, so he was sure that the guard would surrender, but in his memory Isn't Zhao Cen the leader of Sishui Pass?

"Damn! I remembered that Zhao Cen was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei, and now it's Wang Fang."

Sun Quan immediately wiped off his cold sweat, secretly rejoicing in his heart: "Fortunately, the soup was changed but not the medicine, if Zhao Cen becomes Wang Fang, and this Wang Fang does not surrender, I will be embarrassed.

Where does he have any strategy, what is the enemy thousands of miles away, at most he remembers some history.

……

A day later, the coalition army came to report quickly that the army had broken through the Hulao pass, and ordered Sun Jian's army to attack Luoyang first.This time, Sun Jian didn't hesitate at all, and readily agreed. He assembled Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, united with the other three princes, and the army immediately set off for Luoyang, the capital.

"Father, look, what is that?"

During the march, the young Sun Ce was wearing armor, with a black-tailed BMW under his crotch, and his voice suddenly yelled.

"What a big fire, is that Luo Yang?"

"Burning Luo Yang?"

"Dong thief is rampant, dare to do so!"

The army was marching on the official road, and everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked from a distance, and all of them suddenly looked gloomy, especially the few big princes, their faces were ashen, they looked over, and only saw the direction of Luoyang, The flames soared into the sky like sunset clouds covering the sky, and the ground was covered with thick smoke.

Such a scene can be seen hundreds of miles away. It is conceivable that Luoyang's big fire is burning so badly, which means that Luoyang will be burned.

"Dong Zhuo still burned Luo Yang!" Sun Quan was young and not good at riding a horse, so Zhu Zhi always let him ride a horse with him. I can't think of such a cruel method, this should be Li Ru's handwriting, a move to disintegrate my Kwantung Allied Army!"

This fire not only burned Luoyang City, but also the entire Kwantung Allied Army.

Although he, Sun Quan, knew this fact early on, seeing such a fire with his own eyes was still incomparably shocking, and Li Ru's ruthlessness also made him shudder.

"Li Ru, Li Ru, you'd better not fall into my hands, or... Huh!" Sun Quan's eyes flashed coldly, and he snorted coldly.

"The army immediately abandons its luggage and advances quickly!"

Sun Jian's face was ashen. He didn't believe Sun Quan's words at first, thinking that no matter how cruel Dong Zhuo was, he would not have the courage to burn down the capital of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
