Chapter 663 Chang'an's Two Deadliest Vulnerabilities
After some transfer, Da Ya took the five hundred female guards to Shan County first. In addition to the veteran Dong San, he also had his son Dong Ning and daughter-in-law Dong Bai. San Ya was acting as the General's Office to handle various affairs in Luoyang.
There are 30,000 elite cavalry in Luoyang, and they can follow Daya to Shan County at any time, but she refused. If people want to rest assured that they have indeed focused their strategic focus on Chang'an, they need to make the movements big. The four cavalry camps in front, back, left and right are heading to Tongguan with Sun Niu's troops, so there will be nearly 40,000 infantry and cavalry, which is enough to alarm all the princes.
After the military discussion, Da Ya did not hesitate much and took her son and daughter-in-law to Shaanxi County. Dong You found Liu Sheng...
"What--"
"Let us be the prefect of Chenliu County?"
Liu Sheng exclaimed in surprise, thinking that his ears were wrong, but his heart was beating wildly.
"Old-Liu-"
Dong You pressed Liu Sheng heavily and sighed bitterly.
"In the death of the Grand Master, the Three Auxiliary of Chang'an will definitely be in chaos. Our army must go to Guanzhong to stabilize the situation. But Lao Liu, you also know that if our main force leaves Luoyang, the princes of all walks of life will still cause trouble!"
"It is unknown whether Yuan Shu, Tao Qian will join forces to attack Liang State, Yingchuan County. Even if it attacks, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji are all brave generals, and they should be able to stop Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, not to mention that Nanyang County is also on the east side of Runan County. When the situation is critical, our army can also invite General Gao Shu to enter Runan County."
Although Liu Sheng was timid, he had been a Lintao Captain after all, and could distinguish the authenticity of Dong You's words and nodded repeatedly.
"Not bad, even if they join forces, they may not be able to beat us. If they anger the tiger... they angered the lord. Once the lord stabilizes Chang'an, they will cause trouble for them again, wouldn't it be bad?"
Dong You smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Liu Sheng's name changing so quickly.
"There is little possibility that Tao Qian and Yuan Shu will join forces to attack. Lao Liu, you have also heard that the millions of Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou have invaded Yanzhou. Yanzhou is difficult to protect itself. I don't think there is the strength to turn back and attack Chenliu County, but Yuan Shao of Jizhou defeated Gongsun Zan!"
Liu Sheng nodded quickly and said, "Yuan Shao's dog thieves are the most abominable. Once our main force goes to Chang'an, he will definitely attack Hanoi!"
Dong You sighed, "Sister Da Ya is so worried, so he transferred Zhang Yi to Hanoi as the prefect. Lao Liu, you know our Han soldiers' skills. If you really compare your skills, those generals under the princes may not be able to beat Zhang Yi."
Liu Sheng hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Old Liu dares to lead the army order. Those unknown guys are definitely not Zhang Yi's opponent!"
Dong You nodded silently. He knew that the serious Han soldiers could not be despised by looking at their low positions. After the war came, even if it was just a Quhou, it might reach the level of the battalion general in a very short time.
After saying the words clearly, Liu Sheng agreed without thinking, and rushed to Chenliu County that day.
There are 10,000 former Qinghe Army in Chenliu County, and 10,000 soldiers from the Eighth Battalions of Xiyuan in Hanoi County. There is no need to send soldiers separately in the two counties, just dispatch generals.
Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, and his status was much more stable. He could indeed draw some troops to attack Hanoi. It seems that Hanoi County lacks troops and is somewhat dangerous, but he can gain the support of Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, and also gain the flanking restraint of the Black Mountain Army. This will make Yuan Shao extremely difficult.
But no matter what, it is still appropriate to send a suitable commander.
Daya's purpose was not Jizhou, but Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Liu Sheng was timid. With him as the prefect of Chenliu County, Cao Cao had no worries anymore, and this was also a situation that Dong Hu was willing to see.
Luoyang dispatched troops and generals. After receiving the transfer order, Sun Niu, who was stationed in Guancheng, took all his troops to the west without hesitation. When he was in Yingchuan County, Liang State learned that the Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and the two counties were in chaos. However, after Dong Hu and Daya's handwritten letter were sent in, the two counties quickly calmed down again.
The two counties calmed down on the surface, but the prefect Xu Rong personally led 10,000 troops to Yan County, Hu Zhen and Zhang Xiu stationed troops in Wuyang, and 20,000 Yingchuan troops threatened Runan County. At the same time, Dong Yue led 5,000 troops to be stationed in Dang County, and the tiger looked at Pei State; Fan Chou led 5,000 troops to be stationed in Yan County, threatening Chen State.
The two generals under him threatened Pei, Chen and prefect Cai Yong respectively, and had to bring more than ten students into Pei and explained to Pei King Liu Yao and Pei Prime Minister Yuan Zhong that he had no idea of going to war.
After Liu Sheng entered Chenliu County, he hurriedly ordered his son Liu Qi to enter Chen State from Fugou County and explained to Liu Chong, the prince of Chen State who claimed to assist the Han general, and Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen State. However, Liu Chong, the prime minister of Chen, directly detained Liu Qi. After the news was sent back to Chenliu County, Liu Sheng was almost angry. Of course, this is also a story later...
Dong Zhuo died, not only Chenliu, Yingchuan, Nanyang County and the surrounding counties and countries were in a state of fluctuation. After learning the exact news, the whole world began to fluctuate, and everyone focused on Luoyang, which was mobilizing troops on a large scale, and Chang'an, which was fighting fiercely.
Li Jue and Guo Si joined forces to attack Chang'an for several days, but failed for several days. The two suddenly ran westward. The news came into Wang Yun and Lu Bu's ears. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"The thief ran away in fear."
Wang Yun felt a little regretful that he didn't listen to Chen Gong's advice. When he saw the thief running away, he also showed a smile on his face. At this moment, Chen Gong suddenly stepped out and clasped his fists.
"Mr. Situ, please send envoys to surrender Li Jue and Guo Si immediately. The officials were worried that they did not really escape, but went to grab the food stored in Ji County..."
"What--"
Wang Yun was frightened and looked at Chen Gong with disbelief.
"You mean... those thieves were secretly hijacked by Dong thief?"
Chen Gong said worriedly: "If Li Jue and Guo Si escape, where can they run? If they really flee to Liangzhou, it would be better to flee to Luoyang."
"General Lu broke through the dock, and although he killed all the remnants of Dong's thief, how could we transport millions of stones of grain into Chang'an in a short time?"
Wang Yun was afraid. Dong Zhuo plundered a lot of grain. Although some grain was stored in Taicang, in order to control the soldiers, Dong Zhuo did not have much grain in Taicang, and most of the grain was stored in Yuwu and Mei County.
If it was the situation during the Three Kingdoms, when Dong Zhuo died, Niu Fu stationed troops in Shan County, Dong Yue stationed troops in Mianchi, Li Jue and Guo Si stationed troops in Luoyang, while Xu Rong, Duan Wei, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Li Meng, Yang Ding and others stationed troops in Huayin, Zheng County, Xinfeng and other places west of Tongguan. All the troops followed Chang'an to Luoyang to defend against the princes of Guandong.
If Wang Yun wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, it was actually not difficult. The difficulty was how to avoid the situation in Guanzhong from getting out of control, and to prevent Dong Zhuo and Liangzhou generals from attacking.
According to the faction of Dong Zhuo's military and horses in later generations, Dong Zhuo was divided into Liangzhou and Bingzhou. In fact, the Bingzhou military and horses were nothing among Dong Zhuo's many soldiers. When Ding Yuan entered Luoyang, there were only three or five thousand people. After Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, the soldiers below were asked to choose to follow him or return home on their own.
The soldiers brought out by Ding Yuan and Lu Bu from Bingzhou would naturally not return home so easily. One was a long journey, and the other ran from Bingzhou to Hanoi, and then followed into Luoyang. Most of the people who followed this long distance were loyal, and they were bastards like a one-person feeding and not hungry. The soldiers of Hanoi were different. Hanoi and Luoyang were only separated by the Yellow River. After the death of Ding Yuan, the prefect of Hanoi, the soldiers of Hanoi would leave one by one, and they would go to seven or eight. It would be great if the remaining "Bingzhou Army" could have one or two thousand. How could it be taken out and called a single branch in Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops?
If Dong Hu had not appeared in this world, Dong Zhuo's troops were quite mixed, including the Meiyang Han soldiers, the Luoyang soldiers, and the surrendered Hedong County Baibo Yellow Turban Army, and finally the so-called Bingzhou Army.
Even if they convinced Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, if they did not receive the support of some Liangzhou generals, Wang Yun and Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, they would be purely seeking death. In fact, they did convince some Liangzhou generals, such as Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Duan Wei and others.
Xu Rong was not from Liangzhou. Dong Mao and his wife Li mentioned Xu Rong. If he had not obtained many military merits, the generals from Liangzhou would not have excluded him together. This is true. After the Battle of Xingyang and Liangdong, he was transferred back to Chang'an. The subsequent Battle of Mengjin was Dong Zhuo vs. Wang Kuang, the Battle of Yangren was Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong vs. Sun Jian, the Battle of Zhongmu was Niu Fu, and Li Jue and Guo Si vs. Zhu Yan.
It was caused by Lu Bu that Hu Zhen was thrown in Chang'an. If Lu Bu had not repeatedly provided false military information, Hu Zhen would not have been defeated in the battle of the Yayang people, and Hua Xiong would not have been killed by Sun Jian. He was the main general. Even if Lu Bu plotted against him, he would have to bear the responsibility for defeat. Dong Zhuo also threw him into Tongguan.
Lu Bu Yin envisioned Hu Zhen, resulting in the defeat of the Yang people and Hua Xiong died in battle. Until then, until Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu did not appear on the battlefield.
Duan Wei was Duan Yi's cousin, and he was not Dong Zhuo's person. He stayed in Luoyang court with the Grand Marshal Duan Yi. However, after Duan Yi died in prison, Duan Wei was also in trouble. It was not until Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang that he became the General of the Central Army. However, Duan Yi's reputation was too great, and Dong Zhuo was also worried that Duan Yi would become the leader of the Liangzhou Group with Duan Yi's reputation, so he threw him in Huayin County and ignored him.
These people were suppressed for one reason or another, so naturally some generals were required to restrict them, such as Fan Chou, Yang Ding and others, who also stayed in Tongguan.
If Wang Yun wants to kill Dong Zhuo, he must convince some generals of Liangzhou. It is absolutely not enough to just rely on Lu Bu. His actions in the battle of Yangren made Liangzhou extremely disgusted and disliked. If he killed Dong Zhuo, how could he make Liangzhou generals bow their heads?
Lu Bu was nothing at all. He was just a tool character. The surrender of Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Duan Wei, Fan Chou and Yang Ding was the key. Once they surrendered, it meant that they had closed Tongguan and completely blocked Niu Fu, stationed in Shan County, Dong Yue, stationed in Mianchi County, and Li Jue and Guo Si, stationed in Luoyang, outside Tongguan.
Tongguan cannot enter, and the east, north, and south of Luoyang are all enemies. Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Jue and Guo Si are like being trapped in a cage, just like when Dong Zhuo was not moved to the capital. This is also the reason why the Liangzhou group was so panicked and at a loss after Dong Zhuo's death, and it is also the main reason why Wang Yun and Lu Bu dared to kill Dong Zhuo.
If he could not obtain the support of some Liangzhou generals, with Lu Bu alone, Wang Yun was purely seeking death, and he would not even have a chance to survive. He also put Emperor Liu Xie and all the ministers, and put the entire Han Dynasty on the world in the most dangerous situation.
After Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong, Duan Wei, Hu Zhen and others surrendered to the court, and Tongguan was closed, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Jue and Guo Si became wild beasts trapped by the Chang'an court and the princes of Guandong. The generals of the Liangzhou army were afraid and distrustful because of their fear.
Niu Fu killed Dong Yue, Hu Chier killed Niu Fu, and countless soldiers fled. At this time, Jia Xu persuaded Li Jue and Guo Si to counterattack Chang'an. The two went west from Luoyang and gathered Dong Yue and Niu Fu's troops along the way. When the two arrived at Tongguan, they had already gathered 100,000 troops.
Duan Wei, who was stationed in Tongguan, was scared and let go of Tongguan. The Tongguan that could have blocked Li Jue and Guo Si and the others' fall. The most important east gate in Chang'an was opened, and Li Jue and Guo Si and the others entered Guanzhong since then.
Tongguan is still there, Li Jue and Guo Si cannot enter Guanzhong, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Yang Ding and others will not rebel at the time of the battle, Xu Rong will not die in front of the battle, Xu Rong will die in battle, Li Jue and Guo Si will basically gather Dong Zhuo's original elite troops, and Lu Bu has no capital to fight with the two...
