Back to the Three Kingdoms

Just when Chen Lang was ready to fight the Xiliang army in the city of Chang'an, an urgent report came from Luoyang saying that Cao Cao had put down Yuzhou and was gathering the army to Xuchang.

Jia Xu said: "Although Xuchang is the capital of Cao Cao, Xuchang is not very far from Baoshui Pass and Hulao Pass. It is only separated from the three counties of Xingyang, Zhongmou, and Changshe. People have to suspect that Cao Cao's move may be It is intended for Luoyang! At this time, for Cao Cao, it was the fighter to seize Luoyang!"

Chen Lang frowned and said, "I am also worried about this. Cao Cao is not only treacherous, but also very decisive. He will never let it go as long as he sees an opportunity. Now Cao Cao has two big states, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and he supports soldiers. Over 500,000, there are Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, etc. under his command, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, etc. as counsellors, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and the talent is prosperous! Now there is no threat around him, and he can concentrate on taking advantage of me. During the fierce battle between the army and the Xiliang army, Luoyang raided Luoyang. If such a situation occurs, Luoyang's current strength will simply be irresistible."

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The lord is absolutely right!" Then he clasped his fists and said: "Lord, the situation today is very unfavorable for us. If Luoyang is in danger and our army is trapped in Chang'an, we can turn the tide of the war. It will be very difficult! The lord must abandon Chang'an promptly and return to Luoyang as soon as possible to avoid a sharp turnaround in the situation!"

Chen Lang frowned and said, "Abandon Chang'an?"

Upon seeing this, Jia Xu clasped his fist and said: "The lord has the world in mind, and there is no need to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. Today, we abandon Chang'an in order to seize the whole world in the future!"

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, and said, "Then give up."

Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, then he showed admiration, clasped his fist and said, "Here is the subordinate to send the order."

The order to evacuate Chang'an was quickly communicated. The infantry was responsible for protecting the large amount of food and grass and retreating to Hangu Pass. At the same time, Zhao Yun led his subordinates to swim to the west of Chang'an to monitor and suppress the enemy to ensure that the army could be able to do so. Retreat smoothly.

Chen Lang came out of the general’s mansion. Jia Xu and all the fangs were already waiting at the door. When they saw Chen Lang, they clasped their fists and said: "General (Master)." Chen Lang turned on his horse, and his group ran straight to the east gate. . However, as soon as I arrived at the east gate, I saw hundreds of people crowding at the gate of the city with the help of the elderly, the young, and their families, blocking the entire gate. Chen Lang and his party had to stop.

At this moment, some people in the crowd suddenly pointed at Chen Lang and shouted: "It's General Yingyang!" The people who were crowding at the gate of the city and wanted to leave the city looked over and saw Chen Lang, and then they didn't know. Who was the first to bow down and shout: "General!" The people knelt down in succession, and they all yelled: "General!" Then everyone pleaded loudly: "General, please take us away." Come on! Please take us away!" The scene was noisy.

Chen Lang and the others couldn't help being moved when they saw this scene. Jia Xu smiled and said; "Since the people voluntarily follow the lord to return to Luoyang, the lord will satisfy their wishes." Faced with such a situation, Chen Lang couldn't leave them, and said loudly, "Guys, since you are willing Follow me back to Luoyang, then follow me.” When the people heard this, they couldn't help cheering. The huge cheers shook the entire city gate, and many people cried with joy. Chen Lang waited for the people to be quieter, and then said loudly: "Everyone line up, don't mess up, and obey the command of the officers and soldiers. The enemy has been blocked by General Zhao Yun. If you can't make it, don't worry." The people have one after another. Promise loudly.

Chen Lang called Zhang Liao to send someone to direct the people to evacuate.

At the same time, Guo Bang led Xiliang's 300,000 warriors to meet Dong Zhuo in Fufeng. After a brief meeting between the two parties, Dong Zhuo immediately led all the soldiers and horses, and more than 400,000 troops came to Chang'an aggressively.

Zhao Yun received the report from the scout and immediately divided his troops into two groups. He led nearly 40,000 warriors on the north bank of the Weishui River and fought fierce battle with Dong Zhuo's army. Due to the huge difference in military strength, Zhao Yun fought and retreated. Counterattack, see the enemy brigade come up, immediately leave the battle. The two sides chased each other for a whole day, and the sound of fierce fighting continued for dozens of miles. Zhao Yun's army retreated through the Weishui River.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu led his iron cavalry to catch up. However, when Lu Bu led his army halfway across the Weishui River, Zhao Yun, who had already crossed the river, suddenly led his army to fight back. All of a sudden, the horses galloped and the tigers roared! The part of Lu Bu's army that had crossed the Weihe rushed to fight, but could not resist the momentum of the opponent's tiger going down the mountain, and was immediately overwhelmed by the wolf-like iron cavalry! Lu Bu caught Zhao Yun's battle among thousands of troops, but the officers and soldiers under his command were killed by tigers and iron cavalry, and their corpses were scattered and fled! Seeing that something was wrong, Lü Bu quickly led his troops to retreat, and Zhao Yun led his troops to chase and kill him for a while before retreating!

auzw.com Lü Bu was shocked and couldn't help turning into anger. After all the follow-up troops under his command had crossed the river, he chased Zhao Yun. However, after not chasing far enough, Dong Zhuo's messenger suddenly rushed up and said anxiously: "Wen Hou, Taishi ordered you to stop advancing immediately and retreat to the shore of the Weishui River to stand by!"

Lu Bu was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. Hearing such an order, he asked angrily: "Why did the Taishi give such an order? I'm going to catch that Zhao Yun!"

The messenger said: "I just received an urgent report from Fufeng. An eagle-yang army cavalry raided Fufeng, and Fufeng fell. The Taishi has already ordered General Niu Fu to return to help. In order to prevent losses, the Taishi ordered All ministries have suspended their advances!" Lu Bu felt very depressed.

It turned out that Zhao Yun had divided the troops into two groups and ordered the other to make a surprise attack on Fufeng. This trick really worked.

Pei Yuanshao led nearly ten thousand war cavalry in a surprise attack on Fufeng, and the defenders with limited Fufeng were unprepared and rushed in by the Ying Yang army. After the Yingyang army broke into Fufeng, it burned Dong Zhuojun's grain and grass, and immediately evacuated. When Niu Fu led his army to Fufeng, Ying Yang's army was gone, only a piece of grain that had been burned to ruins.

After Pei Yuanshao burned the grain and grass, he immediately crossed the Weishui and retreated eastward along the Weishui. A day later, they reunited with Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was very happy to learn that Pei Yuanshao had successfully raided Fufeng and burned the grain and grass, and praised him well. At this moment, Chen Lang’s messenger arrived, saw Zhao Yun, and reported: "Enlighten General, the general has asked me to come to inform the general that all the horse supplies and the people have safely retreated to Hangu Pass, and the general is immediately Retreat." Zhao Yun immediately sent the troops to retreat eastward.

In the evening, the world was dim, and Lu Bu led the troops and horses to enter Chang'an City first. However, after entering the city, I found that the entire city was quiet, as if there was no one, it was like a ghost town! Lu Bu was very confused.

Soon after, Dong Zhuojun from various quarters rushed to Chang'an City one after another, and everyone was very surprised by the sight of Chang'an City.

Xu Rong rushed to Dong Zhuo and reported with a fist: "Taishi, there are only a few old people left in the entire Chang'an City, and the others are gone!"

Dong Zhuo scolded angrily: "Chen Lang must have taken everyone away! Damn it!"

Dong Zhuo could think of this immediately. It was not Dong Zhuo's magical calculations, but the heroes of this era understand a simple truth, that is, population is the most important resource. Historically, Dong Zhuo drove millions of people west, and Liu Bei led the people of Jingzhou to flee. In fact, the essence was to control this most important resource so that it would not fall into the hands of the enemy. In this era, in this troubled time, where there is a population, there are soldiers, and where there is a population, there is power. However, under the background of Zun Liu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Dong Zhuo led the people to the west and became abusers. In fact, it is reasonable to say that Dong Zhuo would not do that. It is not that Dong Zhuo is actually kind, but because he has to rely on it. Those people fought for him and produced food. How could Dong Zhuo allow soldiers to abuse and kill the people along the way? The people of Jingzhou would not be persecuted by Cao Cao at all, but Liu Bei was taken away but said to be to save the people. The contrast between the front and back is so great, it is really impressive!

Pulling away, get back to business.

Hearing Xu Rong's report, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the troops to advance eastward to pursue the enemy. Li Ru immediately persuaded him; "Taishi, I am afraid that the enemy has already retreated to the Kanto area at this moment, and it is too late to pursue it. Moreover, the grain and grass that our army hoarded in Fufeng has been burned, and now the grain and grass are in short supply, even if it can catch up with the enemy, I am afraid that it will not It will take the slightest advantage! The top priority is to solve the problem of food and grass!"

Dong Zhuo was depressed and said: "If this is the case, let the ministries stop pursuing them and raise grain on the spot." Li Ru bowed and praised: "Teacher is wise!"

Chen Lang retreated to Hangu Pass, and Zhang Liao led his troops and horses to guard Hangu Pass, while Chen Lang himself led the army to **** the people and the seized grain and grass to Luoyang.

It is said that after Cao Cao successfully calmed down Yuzhou, he learned that Chen Lang was still leading the main force to detain Chang'an, and the battle with Dong Zhuo was far from over, so he immediately wanted to attack Chang'an. Under Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao concentrated his army in Xuchang, preparing to divide his troops to break through Baoshui Pass and Hulao Pass to enter Luoyang. But just as the arrow was on the string and ready to be launched, the work in Luoyang suddenly sent information that Chen Lang had given up Chang'an and led the main force back to Luoyang! In shock, Cao Cao had to stop his plan to raid Luoyang.

When Cao Cao and Guo Jiaxun Yu returned to the study, Cao Cao said depressedly: "The cooked duck has flew!" Standing in front of Cao Cao, Guo Jia was a thin, thin, eyebrow, and somewhat sickly young man. Yu is graceful and generous in a Confucian robe. These two were the two counselors that Cao Cao relied on most. Guo Jia is good at making battlefield decisions and making wonders, while Xun Yu is better at handling internal affairs. The cooperation between the two is perfect.
