Chapter 216 What a gibberish(1/2)
Chapter 216: How can you be so chaotic?
"What else can I do? Of course I will kill back to Luoyang~~ the city massacre! Avenge the Lord's Commodore!!!"
Before Li Ru could answer, a shrill roar suddenly rang outside the tent.
At the moment when the figure flashed, Dong Zhuo's personal captain and the commander of the three thousand tiger cavalry Dong Wan had already rushed into the tent with murderous intent, and behind him were more than a dozen Liangzhou generals, all of whom were promoted from ordinary soldiers when Dong Zhuo was appointed as the General of the Qiang Guardian General, and he was loyal to Dong Zhuo.
Li Ru felt awe-inspiringly and suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Although Li Ru is in a high position as a military advisor and is always respected by the soldiers of Liangzhou, it is for Dong Zhuo's sake. The soldiers of Liangzhou respect Li Ru actually respects Dong Zhuo, which has nothing to do with Li Ru's reputation and ability. Li Ru suddenly realized that without Dong Zhuo's existence, he would not even be able to make an ordinary Liangzhou army obey orders.
Li Ru had no doubt at all. If he stood up to oppose the attack on Luoyang at this time, Dong Wan and these murderous generals would immediately kill him.
This is an iron fact, because it involves a problem with a military system.
Although Li Ru is powerful, his identity is a military advisor. The responsibility of the military advisor is not to command the entire army but to assist the commander. Now that the commander Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Ru's responsibility of assisting the commander is completed. Generals at all levels below will no longer buy Li Ru's account. Now Li Ru's words are basically no different from farting.
Dong Wan was just a small personal captain, and he dared to shout in front of Li Ru and not take Li Ru seriously at all, which was enough to explain all the problems. At this moment, Dong Wan had already begun to mobilize the army to attack Luoyang City, as if he was in the forefront of the army.
Deep down, Li Ru opposed the attack on Luoyang.
Not to mention the solid city of Luoyang, it is still difficult to say whether it can be broken. If Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others dare to launch a mutiny, they must be prepared. How can they not have a backup plan? Li Ru was very worried that Wang Yun and others had already contacted the 18th Kanto warlords outside Hulao Pass, and Zhang Liao, the defender of Hulao Pass, was Lu Bu's confidant general.
Thinking of this, Li Ru shivered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
At this urgent moment, the wisest way for the Liangzhou ministries should be to return to Guanzhong quickly, and take advantage of the fact that the butcher Ma was not yet stable, and drove him out of the pass with his absolute military advantage, Liang land, and then welcome Prince Huang from Longxi (Li Ru didn't know that Dong Huang had been captured) to inherit the lord's great cause.
Only in this way can the once prosperous Liangzhou Legion not eventually die out because of no place to settle down, nor will it fall into disintegration due to internal strife. Moreover, with thousands of fertile land in Guanzhong, hundreds of thousands of brave Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou, within a few years, the Liangzhou Legion that has become stronger can swing its swords eastward to compete with the Guandong Army again.
However, Li Ru could only think about it this way.
Because Dong Wan is just Dong Zhuo's personal captain, not a general in the army.
Li Ru didn't even want to talk to Dong Wan about these reasons, because this illiterate man only knew how to avenge Dong Zhuo, and told him that these reasons were just playing the piano against a cow! Li Ru was helpless because he could not stop Dong Wan from becoming the leader of more than 20,000 Liangzhou army, and even more so could not stop the suicide of this elite Liangzhou army.
At this time, the attack on Luoyang is different from suicide?
In less than a moment, Dong Wan's dispatch was decided. Twenty thousand troops rose up and rushed to Luoyang in a mighty manner. Seeing more than 20,000 elite troops in Liangzhou gradually disappeared into the flying smoke and dust, Li Ru couldn't help but sigh, looked around and found that there were only a dozen of his more than a hundred personal soldiers left, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?" A personal soldier came up and asked, "Are we going to attack Luoyang too?"
"Attack Luoyang? That can only be a death!" Li Ru shook his head coldly, then recruited the remaining dozen personal soldiers and ordered, "You are going separately and immediately report the news of the Luoyang mutiny and the lord's murder to Guo Si, Li Kuai, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, and Zhao Cen. These generals are all long-time generals in the army. They should be able to see the current situation clearly. Of the eight out of ten, they will lead their troops to Hangu Pass."
The personal soldier asked, "Where is the military advisor?"
Li Rudao: "This military advisor must first rush to Hangu Pass to help General Fan Chou kill Gao Shun, a stumbling block! Gao Shun is the number one general under the butcher's command. He is very good at using troops and is very difficult to deal with. If he does not try to get rid of this stumbling block, tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops will have no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and will suffer a tragic disaster."
Hangu Pass.
Fan Chou was patrolling the pass accompanied by Zhang Xiu and Cui Lie. Standing on the majestic wall, looking out, he saw that the valley was silent, the mountain road was scattered, and there was no trace of Ma Yuejun.
Fan Chou summoned the small school responsible for guarding the enemy building and asked, "Does the enemy have any abnormal movements in the past few days?"
"Nothing is abnormal." The little school responded, "I didn't even see a ghost."
"Is that so? There was nothing strange about it for several days!" Fan Chou frowned and meditated for a moment, his eyes turned to Zhang Xiu beside him, and the other generals Cui Lie said, "Did Gao Shun know that there is no hope of seizing the pass, and he has really withdrawn his troops back to Guanzhong? Two generals, does our army need to send an elite soldier to conduct a tentative pursuit?"
"Gao Shun is the number one general under the command of Ma Butcher Ma, with a prominent reputation. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a famous scholar, and it should not be underestimated." Cui Lie advised, "Besides, the military orders given to the general are only to stand firm and wait for assistance. The last general thinks that he should not attack rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary damage."
"Well, what General Cui Lie said is very reasonable." Fan Choushen said with sincerity, "Send the order to strengthen the guards' guards, beware of enemy attacks, and make a decision after the lord personally leads the army to arrive."
At this time, Fan Chou didn't know that there had been a tremendous change in Luoyang City hundreds of miles away, and the Liangzhou warlord Dong Zhuo had been killed.
Fifty miles west of Hangu Pass.
On a nameless hill, Gao Shun was observing the terrain under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers. Standing on the mountain bag and looking down, the straight official road passed through the valley, with high mountains and ridges on both sides, clouds and mist, and the terrain was extremely dangerous. If a strong pass could be built in the valley, he might not lose to Hangu Pass in the east.
"It's here!" Gao Shun waved his hand and said to the commander behind him, "The whole army will go to the village in the valley, first establish a wooden village, then drill stones and build a wall, and build a checkpoint here. Since it is impossible to capture Hangu Pass, the general will build another Hangu Pass in this dangerous place, which will still be able to keep Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops out of the pass."
"Affect the order."
The messenger agreed to take the order and left.
Liangzhou, Wuwei County.
Ma Yue entered the army's tent, Jia Xu, Fang Yue, and Xu Huang joined forces, clasped their fists and bowed to Ma Yue, "Xu (the last general) sees the lord."
"Hurry and don't give me a gift." Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Wenhe, Yuanshang (Fang Yue's character, Siling doesn't look like a character). Gongming, you are here. Wang Yuan's Western Region Huqi is really not a good match. If you want to come a few days later, you can only collect the body of this general."
"The Lord is so serious." Jia Xu smiled indifferently and said, "What's the point of asking for just tens of thousands of Hu cavalry?"
"No, the Hu cavalry in the Western Regions is indeed different." Ma Yue's expression suddenly became serious and he said in a narrow voice, "If it were not for the strong support of Wuwei Prefect Fu Xie and the surrounding counties, with the three thousand Wuhuan wolf cavalry in my general's hands, I would not be able to withstand the fast horses of Hu cavalry in the Western Regions."
"What happened?" Jia Xu said in a silence, "When did the Huqi of the Western Regions become more powerful?"
Does Jia Xu have this question? Looking at the Han Dynasty, all the 36 countries in the Western Regions were all powerlessly beaten by the Xiongnu and the Xianbei, so he had to rely on the Han army to resist the Xiongnu. In the eyes of the Han people, the Hu cavalry of the 36 countries in the Western Regions could only be considered a third-rate army.
"The real power is not the Hu cavalry, but the Hu cavalry's Western Regions war horses!" Ma Yue hit the case with his palms, his eyes showing greed, and said excitedly, "What a good horse! It's much stronger than the Huns and Xianbei's short horses. The war horses on the Shandan Army Horse Farm are much worse than those on the Western Regions horses."
Ju Tu couldn't help but interrupt: "Although the endurance of the Western Regions horses is not as good as that of the Huns' hordes, the weight and sprint speed are much stronger than that of the Huns' hordes. Every time we chase, these Western Region Hu cavalry can always catch up with us. If we weren't afraid of the brothers' riding and shooting skills, we would probably have given these three thousand wolf cavalry to Wuwei long ago."
As Ju Tu finished speaking, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded outside the tent, like a shocking wave rolling from the sky. The next moment, the endless sound of horns sounded in the horse's camp. The soldiers of the county and state (Wuwei County Governors) who were resting in the camp quickly ran out, and came to the back of the camp with a gun with a gun.
The Wuhuan cavalry wolf hidden in the camp also boarded the horse urgently and prepared to attack.
The horses were surrounded by Jia Xu, Fang Yue, Xu Huang, Ju Tu, and dozens of Han army corpses and Wuhuan centurions. The Western Region wolf cavalry rolling in front had already rushed outside the camp. However, in the smoke and dust covering the sky, countless majestic horses were galloping back and forth in the open space in front of the camp.
Suddenly, a snow-white horse ran out of the Hu cavalry formation and galloped back and forth in front of the formation.
The Hu girl on the horse was holding a silver spear in her hand and a silver lion-headed ghost-faced helmet on her head. She couldn't see her facial features clearly. Her skin was as white as jade and had an attractive color. Her delicate white robe and soft armor showed off her hot body, which contrasted with the horse under her crotch, making her look natural.
"What a great horse." Ma Yue stared at the Hu girl who was galloping back and forth, and sighed, "It must be very good to ride on it."
"Um~~" Jia Xu nodded repeatedly, a hint of ambiguity flashed leisurely in his eyes, and then praised, "The frost is as bright as the snow, and the bee-waist is as bright as jade, and the bee-waist is still looking at her buttocks. It turns out that she is a superb horse, and the lord has good eyesight."
"Uh, this~~"
Ma Yue was speechless and felt very embarrassed.
Luoyang was already in chaos at this time.
Wang Yun is okay to play with power, but he seems to be unable to plan the overall situation. Wang Yun not only overestimated the ability of Yin Mingong of Henan, but mistakenly thought that the three thousand Henan soldiers under Mingong could shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Chang'an, but also ignored the deep-rooted forces of Dong Zhuo and his confidants Yang Biao, Zhou Huan and others in Luoyang City.
At this point, Wang Yun is more than a little different from Ma Butcher.
When eight hundred bandits swept across the Central Plains, whenever a city was captured, they would kill all the private slaves of the wealthy families in the city, and then patrol the entire city with iron-blooded skills. Those who go to the streets without following the orders were killed. Although this was cruel and cold-blooded, it completely eliminated the possibility of disaster in the courtyard wall!
Later, the butcher Ma turned into a general of the Han Dynasty, and the eight hundred bandits also became the Han Dynasty's official army, but this "fine tradition" has been preserved. Not long ago, Gao Shun succeeded in a surprise attack on Chang'an, and used the same iron-blooded skills to clean up the slave forces of the gentry clans in Chang'an City.
Later, Gao Shun led the main force of the light cavalry to attack Hangu Pass, leaving only 800 elite troops stationed in Chang'an, and it was as safe as Mount Tai.
When Lu Bu led 300 soldiers to confiscate the Grand Tutor's Mansion of Dong Zhuo and regain Diao Chan as he wished, the news that Dong Zhuo was killed, Yang Biao, Zhou Huan and others were captured in the palace also spread in Luoyang City. Yang Biao, Zhou Huan and other Dong Zhuo's confidant soldiers and generals were moved when they heard the news. In less than an hour, thousands of people gathered. A large number of idle gangsters took advantage of the situation and gradually gathered into a riot army of more than 2,000 people, and actually rushed to the palace.
Along the way, gangsters joined in. By the time the rioters reached the main gate of the Forbidden Palace, more than 5,000 people had gathered.
When the Young Emperor was abolished and Emperor Xian of Han was established, in order to firmly control the Forbidden Palace in his hands, Dong Zhuo had already reduced the Jinwu Guards who guarded the Forbidden Palace from the initial 3,000 people to 300 people. Even the remaining 300 Jinwu Guards were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. It was okay to fill the storefront, but they were really vulnerable to the battlefield.
The three hundred Jinwu Guards that were gathered together quickly were quickly killed by the rioters. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Yun, Liu Hong, Cai Yong, Lu Yu and others closed the palace gate and ordered people to summon Lu Bu to guard the forbidden palace. However, Lu Bu also had only three hundred soldiers under his command, and his personal bravery could not change the huge gap in military strength.
Moreover, this is a group of chaotic troops, not a well-organized regular army at all.
If it is a regular army, Lu Bu can also use his killing of the enemy's leader to damage the enemy's spirit in the future and achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting. However, this group of rioters has no real commander at all. Instead, a group of mobs gathered together for the same purpose (of course, it was to kill into the palace to grab royal treasures).
As a last resort, Wang Yun had to urgently order Henan Yin Mingong to lead Henan soldiers to protect the emperor.
Although Min Gong is average in ability, he is still good at training. These three thousand Henan soldiers are not only well-trained, but also well-equipped. There are actually five hundred archers. The most important reason why Wang Yun dared to launch a mutiny and took advantage of the situation was certainly the most important reason, but another reason was that Min Gong's three thousand Henan soldiers were giving him courage.
After receiving Wang Yun's urgent order, Min Gong left half of the troops to guard the Nine Gate, and he led the other half of the troops to the Forbidden Palace. After a fierce battle, the five thousand chaotic troops were soon defeated by the well-trained Henan soldiers.
But at this time, the 20,000 Liangzhou troops stationed in Dongxiao had already reached the city of Luoyang. What's even more terrible is that Min Gong only defeated the chaos army. The defeated chaos army did not stop, but divided it into dozens of different sizes, and began to burn, kill and loot the city in a more crazier way.
The Henan soldiers guarding Luoyang were already short of troops, and they had to divide their troops to resist guarding the Nine Gate. They also had to be wary of the riots launching sneak attacks from the city. They lost one by one, and the East Gate of Luoyang was soon lost. When the heavy East Gate of Luoyang opened, 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry rushed forward, and the real disaster came.
The Liangzhou army with more than 20,000 cavalry came with grudges. They had only one crazy idea in their minds, that is, kill and kill again, and then kill Luoyang, and no chickens and dogs left behind!!! When the city gate was broken, whether it was a rioter or a defender, whether it was an innocent civilian or a mob, whether it was a man, woman, old or young, or a soldier, or a human or a livestock, as long as they could walk, they would breathe and kill them all!
The Liangzhou army, who had been red-eyed, not only killed people and robbed things, but also began to set fire to the whole city frantically. The twelve generations of emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who had been operating the prosperous Eastern Capital for more than 200 years, were immediately destroyed! The initiator of this catastrophe, Wang Yun, Wang Yun, and colleagues of Cai Yong, Liu Hong, and Lu Yu, were huddled in the forbidden palace and were in panic all day long.
The main gate of the Forbidden Palace has been destroyed, and Dong Wan's three thousand tiger and wolf cavalry are launching endless fierce attacks one after another. The fewer and fewer living Henan soldiers are getting worse and fewer. Even the unparalleled Lu Bu has been slightly injured by arrows. If reinforcements have not arrived, it is only a matter of time before the Forbidden Palace is captured.
Deyang Palace.
Emperor Xian of Han, who was only eight years old, was accompanied by eunuchs. Although he was a child today, he was actually just a child. In his young and pale mind, he still had no concept of family and country responsibilities. Queen Mother He and his concubines hugged in a corner of the Golden Palace and cried.
Wang Yun, Liu Hong and other ministers stood up in the hall with their eyes, their eyes were ashamed. The situation has evolved to this point, which is completely beyond the expectations of Wang Yun and others. Wang Yun was usually conceited with his own wisdom, but at this time he was helpless and had no choice. The only thing left in his heart was to hope that the 18th Kanto Army could quickly reach Luoyang and end the catastrophe.
However, can the 18th Kwantung Army really reach Luoyang in time?
"Dongdongdongdongdong~~"
Heavy and rapid footsteps sounded, and a figure outside the hall flashed, and Lu Bu's majestic figure had already entered. The eyes of Emperor Xian of Han and the ministers instantly gathered on Lu Bu, but seeing that Lu Bu's face was covered with blood and his battle robe was covered with bright red blood. There were his own, but more were from Liangzhou soldiers.
There were two wolf teeth sticking to Lu Bu's shoulder blades, and the feathers at the tail were trembling slightly.
Lu Bu's chest was fluctuating violently. The ability to squeeze Lu Bu, who was the bravest army, into this is enough to show how fierce the Liangzhou soldiers attacked the Forbidden Palace.
"bite!"
Lu Bu beat Fang Tian's painting halberd heavily to the Golden Palace, looked up to meet the dull eyes of Wang Yun and others, and shouted quickly: "The Liangzhou army's offensive is fierce, and Lord Min Gong's Henan soldiers will soon be unable to support it. The military situation is urgent. You can quickly protect the emperor and follow the last general to break through the encirclement."
"Where is the Kwantung Army?" Wang Yun's eyes flashed with a last glimmer of hope, "Is there no news about the Kwantung Army?"
Lu Bu shook his head sadly and said, "No."
"Alas~~" Wang Yun sighed long and smiled bitterly, "Now there are Liangzhou bandits everywhere in Luoyang City, where should we break through?"
To be continued...
