RNP Chapter 213
Chapter 213
Luoyang, the former imperial capital, is now in ruins. Everywhere are broken rubble, barren mounds and weeds.
When Dong Zhuo evacuated, a fire burned down many buildings in the city. At the same time, the Western Liang soldiers robbed all the people, families, and officials inside and outside the city who did not want to go to Chang'an, and killed most of them.
Therefore, when the princes were fighting for world domination, no one paid attention to Luoyang. Without the people, it is pointless to occupy a dead city, because there is no soldier or pawn here!
After Liu Jun's army left Yique Pass, he was stationed outside Luoyang City, and at the same time began to repair the palace and the buildings in the city.
When Dongling Guan Cao Zhen got Liu Jun to send someone to repair the Luoyang Palace, he was a little puzzled. You know, there are eight passes around Luoyang, and only by guarding the eight levels can you defend Luoyang. Now that Liu Jun has only occupied an Yique Pass, even if Luoyang is rebuilt, can it be held?
If you want to defend the palace
, you must have more than 50,000 troops, although Jingzhou has it, but they are all in Luoyang, does Liu Jun still want to dominate the world?"
Cao Zhen hurriedly took the letter, opened it, and frowned.
It turned out that Cao Xiu wanted him and Zhang Hao to send troops at the same time and launch a surprise attack on Liu Jun outside Luoyang City. Liu Jun only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but most of them were repairing palaces and stationed in the city, and there were only 3,000 in the military camp outside the city. According to Cao Xiu's ideas, they attacked in three ways, which could quickly defeat Liu Jun, and by the time Wei Yan of Yique Pass realized that they had withdrawn their troops.
However, Cao Zhen quickly vetoed Cao Xiu's idea, such a simple question, Liu
Jun could not think of it? Even if Liu Jun could not think of it, there were Pang Tong and Fa Zheng by his side, these two people defeated Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan back then, how could they not think of it?
"This must be Liu Jun's plan!" When Cao Zhen thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and immediately wrote a letter, asking people to quickly send it to Cao Xiu, and at the same time sent dozens of scouts to inquire about the news of the Han army.
Sure enough, there was not much time, the scout returned, and the Han army had already killed Dongling Pass. At the same time, there were two teams of soldiers and horses, respectively killing Tiger Pass and Xianshui Pass.
In the large camp outside Luoyang City, Liu Jun, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Deng Ai and others were discussing the account.
Cao Zhen thought correctly, the strength of the Han army here is not 10,000, but 20,000.
"Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Zhang Hao are secretly not moving in the pass, it seems that it is not so easy to break the pass!" Fa Zheng's face was full of sadness.
"The three of them are veterans who have been in the battlefield for a long time, and ordinary schemes will be discovered, and it seems that only strong attacks can be made!" Attacking such a dangerous pass is obviously not the best way.
"If we want to attack, which level should we take first?" asked Liu Jun.
Although Wei Yan sent Xiang Pet, Fu Wei, Niu Jin and three others, each leading 5,000 soldiers and horses, to Hujiao Pass, Xianshui Pass, and Dongling Pass respectively, everyone knew that 5,000 soldiers and horses, even in the field, might not be able to win the other side, and if they wanted to conquer the pass, it was simply impossible.
"Master, in the opinion of our subordinates, we should make a fuss in Tiger Prison. Zhang Hao was a famous general, and although Cao Zhen was young, he was very resourceful. In contrast, Cao Xiu, despite his martial arts, has a reckless personality, and we may have an opportunity!"
"What Shi Yuan said is reasonable, we should first besiege the Tiger Pass with a large army, and the lord should personally command the army. Stay until the enemy is in turmoil, and then adapt!" Fa Zheng agreed with Pang Tong.
Deng Ai also agreed, "The end will be in Luoyang, according to the movements of the Cao army, and then look for fighters!"
Deng Ai led the rest of the Feitian Battalion and continued to station outside Luoyang City.
Before the Tiger Prison Pass, Xiang Pet led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and was already stationed here. When Liu Jun's army arrived, a full army of 20,000 people was more than ten miles in the company camp in front of Guanqian, and the momentum was huge.
At that time, the eighteen-way princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and an army of more than 100,000 attacked Tiger Pass, but still did not break through. In the end, Dong Zhuo planned to move the capital to Chang'an, and voluntarily abandoned the Tiger Prison Pass, and the coalition forces entered Luoyang. This is enough to see that the tiger prison is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, the purpose of this Luoyang Eight Passes, built at that time, was to defend Luoyang, so for Guandong, it was indeed easy to guard and difficult. But for the soldiers and horses from Luoyang City, it is not extremely difficult. Therefore, Cao Xiu, who was closed, did not dare to be careless when he saw the 20,000 army.
The next day, the Han army dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the neat queue arrived in front of the pass, and thunderbolt cars were placed under the pass.
When Cao Xiu saw the thunderbolt of the Han army, he was not much surprised. For the thunderbolt, he is naturally familiar with it. However, compared with theirs, the Han army's is significantly smaller.
Liu Jun, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and the other three, under the protection of five hundred guards, also came to Guanqian.
Liu Jian pointed the long sword in his hand and shouted.
"Cao Xiu Pifu, are you guilty?" Cao
Xiu was a little stunned by Liu Jun's question.
"You... Liu Jun Xiao'er, you led the army to invade my territory for no reason, and you dare to say that I am guilty, it is simply the pinnacle of black and white, and strong words are taken away from reason!" "
Cao Xiu, since the founding of the state of Gaozu, my great Han has had an iron law, and foreign surnames cannot be crowned kings. But your Cao family, after the eunuchs, dared to claim the throne? If you repent, sacrifice your guilt, and confess your sins, you can still be left with your life. If not, when our army breaks through Yecheng, we will destroy Er and the other three tribes!" "
Ha..." After Cao Xiu listened to Liu Jun's words, he burst into a maniacal laugh, "The ants still want to shake the big tree, and they don't measure their strength! I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the army of the King of Wei will go south, and there will be no place for death to be buried!" "
Order, attack immediately!" Liu Jun also knew that Cao Xiu could not persuade him to surrender, he said that this was just to take the name of righteousness, so he stopped talking nonsense.
"No!" passed
the order down, waved the flag in his hand, and more than twenty thunderbolts fired stones at the same time.
Stones in the sky flew to the point with whistling and thunderclap.
"Ah..." Many Cao soldiers could not dodge, were smashed to death, smashed and injured, and screamed one after another.
"Quick... Fast...... Raise the shield... Plank..." Cao Xiu was shocked, the power of the thunderbolt car, he naturally knew. But I didn't expect that the Han army's thunderbolt car was not as big as theirs, but the power was stronger than theirs, and much stronger.
