Chapter 192 Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao who are fighting for Luoyang(1/2)
"The plot of the crusade against Dong Zhuo actually happened in advance..."
Chu Tian was leading people to inspect the farmland, but he learned that the plot to attack Dong Zhuo had happened in advance, and he couldn't help but trembled. Is the Three Heroes Battle against Lu Bu coming?
He had never met Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty actually died. He suppressed the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and shed his blood for the Han court. Even before the reward came, the Han court was gone...
Because the lords of Liangzhou and Guanzhong supported Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's reputation was at its peak, triggering the conditions for attacking Dong Zhuo in advance.
The worst person may have been the early death of Han Ling Emperor.
There are still five months of preparation time before the official crusade against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's forces and the heroes of Guandong can calmly make arrangements.
The crusade against Dong Zhuo in December may determine the direction of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Either Dong Zhuo will defeat the heroes of the Kanto region and unify the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the heroes of the Kanto region will stop Dong Zhuo and lead to the era of separatist rule.
As a "vassal", Chu Tian naturally did not want Dong Zhuo to win, because he himself was one of the heroes of Guandong.
Dong Zhuo won a great victory and marched eastward. No princes could resist the Xiliang army.
Chutian's Langya Kingdom could not stop Dong Zhuo's cavalry charge.
Chu Tian also thought that Dong Zhuo's plot took place in the fifth year of the Lord Calendar, so he had less time to prepare now.
"Five months of preparation time, what needs to be done?"
Chu Tian fell into deep thought.
Currently, there is only one foreign lord from Guandong in the Eastern Han Dynasty who is qualified to participate in the war as a prince, and that is Chu Tian, the Prime Minister of Langya State.
However, the deadline for determining the various Kanto princes is December, and other foreign lords still have the opportunity to obtain the official positions of governor and prime minister.
The Kwantung Allied Forces will be composed of NPC princes and alien princes. The princes can send more troops and gain more military exploits at the same time.
But even as a prince, Chu Tian could fish in troubled waters.
If Dong Zhuo's power is too strong, he must suppress Dong Zhuo. On the contrary, if Dong Zhuo is not a threat, he can also secretly please Dong Zhuo and gain benefits from it.
"There has been a coup in Luoyang City! The Ten Changshi ordered the expulsion of all players in Luoyang!"
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao led his troops to attack the palace!"
Chu Tian learned an important piece of information. He was even more shocked than when he learned that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had died prematurely. Because of the player's intervention, General He Jin was not dead. The Sili Colonel Yuan Shao took the initiative to lead troops to attack the palace under the instigation of the player.
!
"It's a mess, it's a complete mess..."
Chutian had a headache, and he couldn't judge the trend of Donghan District.
After finally suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, chaos reigned in Luoyang.
In Luoyang City, ten regular servants were killed by Yuan Shao's soldiers, and the palace was filled with blood!
Two fierce generals came to see Yuan Shao carrying the heads of the ten permanent servants.
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you two have made extraordinary achievements, and you will definitely be rewarded by the court in the future."
Yuan Shao obtained the support of strangers in Luoyang and obtained two fierce generals, and then he made up his mind to risk the disapproval of the world to attack the palace and control Luoyang.
General He Jin and Lieutenant General Yuan Shu discovered Yuan Shao's actions too late. Yuan Shao had already killed ten of his attendants, set the palace gates on fire, and held the emperor and the queen mother hostage.
"What a madman!"
When Yuan Shu and some of the strangers who supported Yuan Shu heard the news, they were shocked by the madness of Yuan Shao and the players who supported Yuan Shao.
But Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were wearing the same trousers at this time, so he had no choice but to support the eldest prince Liu Bian as emperor with Yuan Shao and He Jin.
In Youfufeng in the Guanzhong area, where Dong Zhuo garrisoned troops, the number of foreigners who supported Dong Zhuo was no less than the number of foreigners who supported Yuan Shao, and they were mainly the lords of Xiliang and Guanzhong.
They were immediately shocked when they learned that Yuan Shao had staged a coup in Luoyang, and immediately came to urge Dong Zhuo to enter the capital.
"Imprison the cavalry general Zhang Wen, and send a cavalry force to capture Tongguan and Hangu Pass quickly, otherwise Tongguan and Hangu Pass will be captured by Yuan Shao, and there will be endless troubles!"
"We should make a truce with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and invite them to lead the Xiliang Army to march eastward and hunt in Guandong!"
The foreign military advisors who supported Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to assert their own strategy.
Dong Zhuo's ambitions were inflated by the instigation of some foreign lords who were afraid of chaos in the world. He looked at Li Ru, who was the chief adviser, and Jia Xu, who was highly recommended by the foreign lords: "What do you think of the two military advisors?"
Jia Xu remained silent until Li Ru, who had a higher status, spoke.
Li Ru stroked the goat's beard and said: "If my lord wants to achieve hegemony, he might as well march forward quickly and take the emperor with him to command the princes, as the stranger said."
Jia Xu was forced to express his attitude: "Yuan Shao attacked the palace and offended the etiquette. We can declare Yuan Shao's crime, send his troops eastward, occupy Heluo and Guanzhong, and go eastward to fight for the world."
The generals who had gathered under Dong Zhuo's command in advance also asked for battle.
Following a general, they can be a captain or a lieutenant at most, but if their general becomes a prince or emperor, they can become a general or a prince.
"Li Jue, you lead the Flying Bear Army to capture Tongguan and drive directly to Hangu Pass."
Dong Zhuo sent Li Jue.
"Here!"
"Niu Fu, you and Hua Xiong go and kill the cavalry general and annex the five schools of the Northern Army."
"Here!"
Various generals under Dong Zhuo quickly dispatched troops. He already had in his hands the elite soldiers used by the imperial court to quell the rebellion in Xiliang. In addition, Dong Zhuo had recruited soldiers in Youfufeng and Wuwei counties according to Yiren's suggestions during this period, and his strength had reached
of considerable size.
Chariot and Cavalry General Zhang Wen learned from strangers that Dong Zhuo was going to kill him. He didn't believe it at first, until Niu Fu and Hua Xiong led the cavalry to march straight into the barracks. He actually abandoned the fifth school of the Northern Army and other Han troops and fled overnight.
The last elite Five Schools of the Northern Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty were leaderless, surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and were incorporated into Dong Zhuo's establishment. Dong Zhuo was still nominally a general of the imperial court. Under the premise that the overall situation was not yet clear, the chaotic Five Schools of the Northern Army were annexed by Dong Zhuo.
"Yuan Shao attacked the palace and kidnapped the young emperor. This general will go to the capital to support the king and Qingjun!"
Under the advice of the foreign disciples and Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo made a name for himself, issued a crusade against Yuan Shao, and began to march towards Tongguan and Hangu Pass.
Dong Zhuo is stationed in Youfufeng, not far from Chang'an, and his troops are very fast. Let's see who can seize the two great passes of Tongguan and Hangu Pass faster!
Throughout Guanzhong, the great lords of Xiliang supported Dong Zhuo's entry into Guanzhong, and Dong Zhuo became very powerful for a time!
The foreign lords are equivalent to the local tycoons. With their support, Dong Zhuo is at the height of his power and his army is huge!
Li Jue's flying bear army marched 150 miles a day and captured Tongguan!
Longxi County, now transformed into Longxi powerful lords, supported Ma Teng, occupied Longxi, and basically controlled the entire Longxi County. As rebels, these Longxi powerful lords secretly interacted with Dong Zhuo, who was sent by the imperial court to crusade.
"Of course we must support Dong Zhuo's visit to Beijing."
Xu Fengnian, the great lord who served as the leader among the powerful men in Longxi and ousted Ma Teng, received a document from Dong Zhuo inviting him to enter Heluo and fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.
There were more than forty Longxi lords in the lobby. They joined forces to control Longxi County, swept away the original Longxi nobles, and replaced them. As long as they are willing, they can form tens of thousands of Longxi cavalry. Therefore, Dong Zhuo must win over this group to become powerful
lords, especially Xu Fengnian, the powerful leader of Longxi.
"Aren't you worried that Dong Zhuo will grow bigger and completely control the entire Liangzhou, Guanzhong and Heluo? If Dong Zhuo devotes himself to rectifying Liangzhou, our position in Longxi County will not be guaranteed."
"As Dong Zhuo's power takes shape, our Longxi County will be annexed."
The powerful people in Longxi raised their concerns.
Xu Fengnian looked around at the powerful people present: "I said support, but I didn't say how to support it. Support Dong Zhuo and the Guandong princes to consume each other's strength in the Heluo area. We go to Guanzhong, Heluo plunders the population, enriches Longxi with money and grain, and then secretly annexes Liangzhou
, peeking into Chang'an, killing three birds with one stone. From now on, we Longxi nobles will be the masters of Liangzhou, and I will share the world with you."
"The master of Liangzhou?"
The powerful men of Longxi have hot eyes. When they are emperors and princes of a land, one person is inferior to ten thousand people!
Another rebel group in Xiliang, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu, had an internal fight. The player supported Han Sui, who was a Han, and killed Beigong Boyu, a Qiang, and annexed his tribe, becoming the leader of Liangzhou except Ma Teng.
The second prince.
Unlike Ma Teng, who was deprived of power by Longxi's powerful forces, Han Sui held the power of this rebel army. Its forces were in Jincheng County and Wuwei County, and he also received Dong Zhuo's invitation.
The great lords of Hanyang County, Beidi County, and Anding County also gradually learned that Dong Zhuo had begun to enter Beijing, and immediately recruited troops and horses, ready to take action.
They supported Dong Zhuo and only wanted to benefit from it.
"General Dong Zhuo of Polu attacked the general of chariots and cavalry with the intention of rebelling. The young emperor summoned the troops from all over the world to eliminate him!"
Yuan Shao, who controlled Luoyang, learned that Dong Zhuo's troops were rushing to attack Chang'an and Tongguan. Although there were strangers who had greeted him in advance, Yuan Shao still panicked.
Dong Zhuo has far more battlefield experience than Yuan Shao. In addition, the Liangzhou and Guanzhong troops are fierce, making it very difficult to hold on to Luoyang.
"Immediately send a team of light cavalry to occupy Hangu Pass day and night! Dong Zhuo is marching very quickly and has arrived in Chang'an!"
The foreign military advisor's prediction of Dong Zhuo's advancing speed was wrong. It was expected that the difficulty of capturing Tongguan would be limited, so he could only defend Hangu Pass.
A cavalry force of 10,000 people left Luoyang and headed straight for Hangu Pass under the leadership of Yan Liang.
A conflict broke out between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao in advance, and the two sides started a tug-of-war in Chang'an and Luoyang. Dong Zhuo rushed to Chang'an, using the high-end barracks in Chang'an to recruit troops frantically, and recruited elite Xiliang cavalry for himself. Yuan Shao used the barracks in Luoyang to compete with each other.
Dong Zhuo used Zhonghe Liangzhou as his backer, and Yuan Shao's territory was relatively small, so he had to send Yuan Shu to the Nanyang area to recruit troops. He also asked his former younger brother Cao Cao and Zhao Long, the strange lord of Wei County, to send reinforcements to temporarily block Dong Zhuo's march to Beijing.
General He Jin found that the situation was out of control. He fought for power with Shi Changshi, but was ignored by his subordinates Yuan Shao and Yiren. The Yuan family found out that it was too late when Yuan Shao launched an attack, so they had to fully support Yuan Shao and use the influence of the Yuan family to
Yuan Shao appeased all officials.
Players in Heluo are not optimistic about the general He Jin, and almost all support Yuan Shao to stop Dong Zhuo in order to protect the prosperous Luoyang City and their own territory and property.
"The crusade against Dong Zhuo has not even started yet, but Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo started fighting. I have never seen such a scene..."
