Chapter 234 Luo Yang's Battle Begins Seven

The night was dark and the starry sky was shining. In the barracks at the back of the mountain, Mu Jing and Xi Zhicai fell asleep carelessly. They lit up a stove, warmed up tea and drank each other, discussed the current situation, and waited for Huang Zhong's return. They needed to know about Liangzhou Army news.

"We want to enter Luoyang City, and Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Liangzhou Army, probably thinks so too!" Mu Jing said suddenly.

"Otherwise, what do you think he's here for!"

Xi Zhicai said with a sneer: "He, Dong Zhuo, definitely didn't come here for a king-killing official!"

He Jin killed the king, and the world will not be tolerated. As long as Dong Zhuo is not stupid, he will never follow him to risk the world's disgrace. Therefore, Dong Zhuo led the army to Beijing at this time, it must be a good opportunity, and he wants to take a step forward.

"The imperial court can't tolerate us, the father and son of the Mu family, and I'm afraid it may not be able to accommodate him, Dong Zhuo?" Mu Jing said with a sneer while playing with the teacup in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"That's even more impossible!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "Master Grand Tutor now has the position of Grand Tutor at any rate, with a salary of ten thousand stones, which is comparable to that of Sangong, and he has the decree of King Qin, and the banner of the Prince's Association. He still cannot convince the court officials, but Dong Zhuo, A barbarian, led by tigers and wolves from Xiliang, how can those ministers in the capital respond to him!"

"Is it possible for us to be in the same situation..." Mu Jing didn't finish his sentence, but Xi Zhicai already knew what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, if you seek skin from a tiger, you will lose nothing!"

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, and his voice was faint.

"If you don't make progress, if you don't break the deadlock, the tens of thousands of troops under my father's command will be dragged down. This is Luoyang. If you don't take charge of the government, how can you raise a large army? I can't help but hope that the ministers of the court will be kind and give alms!"

The cost of raising tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is huge. In the past, Mushan sat firmly in Nanyang to cope with it. Now Nanyang still has food and grass coming. Among the seven battalions of the Violent Bear Army, the Yangshan battalion led by Liu Jin went back and forth to Nanyang to collect Nanyang on his behalf. The prefect, who supervises the transportation of grain and grass, can ensure that Mushan can now stabilize its foundation in Luoyang.

However, Nanyang is more than a thousand miles away from Luoyang. If there is any accident in Nanyang, then their tens of thousands of troops will lose their logistical support, and they will be defeated if they fail to attack.

"But Master Taifu may not be able to suppress the Liangzhou army. In the future, if he enters Luoyang, the world will be turned upside down!" Xi Zhicai was still worried,

"Isn't the current imperial court turned upside down? The city is in chaos. In a short period of time, no one can clean up. In the chaotic situation, isn't there still Luoyang City to deal with?" Mu Jing sneered: "It's better than People from the imperial court are watching in the city, but our people are fighting to death outside the city!"

"Uniting Xiliang, I don't agree, but if this is the only way, it can only be like this. After all... Mr. Tai Tuo is a minister of a foreign vassal. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Luoyang. As for the future, it depends on the situation." The Taifu is in power!"

Mu Shan is now the Grand Tutor, if he enters Luoyang, he will have the power to govern, comparable to the position of the Sangong, how to deal with the court is in it.

"Huo Yu, go and call Tan Zong!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu quickly brought Tan Zong along.

"Meet the prince!" Tan Zong bowed after entering.

"Tan Zong, what's the current situation in Luoyang?" Mu Jing asked.

"Luo Yang?"

Tan Zong thought for a while, and said: "My son, Luoyang is closed, and news is difficult to get in and out, but we can still inquire about one or two. This is because there is not much news. The court ranks Sangong as the rank, and the Bingzhou army has not completely entered the capital. Some of them were stationed on the Beimang Mountain, and in the city were still the soldiers and horses of the Southern Army and Zhijinwu, and of course there was the Huben Army, and Huben Zhonglang captured Yuan Shu's many rebellious soldiers in the city, and this Tiger Ben has some fighting power!"

"Hu Ben?" Mu Jing sneered: "It has already been broken up by a certain family in Beimang, so there is nothing to worry about!"

"Then only the Southern Army is left!"

"South Army?"

Mu Jing thought for a while: "I remember that in addition to the imperial guards, the southern army also had the imperial forest. Although the imperial forest was defeated, the main general is still there. You send people into the city, be careful, and look for the imperial general!"

"The Lord General of the Royal Forest?"

Hearing this, Tan Zong's expression was shocked, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinates should go immediately!"

"You're really thinking too far!" Xi Zhicai looked at Mujing with vivid eyes. He didn't think Mujing's wisdom was so strong. But sometimes his eyes are very unique, he can see farther than himself, which is not as good as his own.

"Just plan ahead!" Mu Jing said: "There is a battlefield outside Luoyang City, and there is also a battlefield in Luoyang City. It's not like you haven't experienced it before, and you were once an official in the court!"

"It's a pity that as an official, I let someone get rid of my butt without getting any heat!" Xi Zhicai snorted coldly, full of resentment.

"Ha ha!"

Mu Jing smiled awkwardly, thinking that Mang Mountain, the Tibetan soldier, was Mu Jing's biggest secret, and Xi Zhicai saw through it, so he was always worried, so he was imprisoned for several days, and Xi Zhicai, an official with a salary of six hundred stones, lost his So gone.

The two of them drank tea until dawn, and Huang Zhong didn't return until it was almost dawn.

"My son, General Huang Zhong is back!" Huo Shao reported outside the camp.

"Please!"

Mujing's spirit was shaken, his eyes burst into a bright light, and he said in a deep voice.

"Meet the prince!" Huang Zhong walked in, stepping in, bowing and saluting.

"Don't be too polite!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "Sit down and have a sip of tea, and then tell me about the situation!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong nodded, sat down on his knees, sipped a cup of hot tea, and said, "Your Majesty, I followed the scouts of the Liangzhou Army all the way to the west, and found Liangzhou in Gucheng City, which is less than eighty miles west of Xiyang Pavilion. The main force of the state army!"

"See it with your own eyes?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Yes!" Huang Zhong nodded: "I also sneaked into it and observed it!"

"Gucheng?" Mu Jing patted his head: "Look at my elm head, why can't I think that the Liangzhou army can be stationed outside the city or in the city. Although the city is easy to be exposed, it is not easy to be discovered by scouts. If you appease Good people in the city, you can calm down, we have sent so many scouts these days, but we didn't expect him to be right under our noses!"

"How many troops are there?"

"No less than [-], or even more. It's not very clear under the night, and there are many masters in the camp, so I dare not observe deeply!"

"It's a hard bone!"

Xi Zhicai frowned.

"No matter how hard it is, it's still a rock, we have to chew it off!" Mu Jing slapped the table and said coldly.

……

……

The next day.

Mu Jing slept relatively late, so he woke up relatively late, and only got up from the camp after three poles in the sun.

"My lord, there are guests in the lord's camp!" Mu Jing was eating lunch, and Huo Yu rushed to report.

"guest?"

Mu Jing frowned: "A court envoy?"

"no!"

Huo Yu shook his head, leaned closer, and whispered, "Visitor from Xiliang!"

"Xi Liang?"

Mu Jing's pupils changed slightly: "No way, I just thought about it, they already have this plan?"

He settled the lunch in twos and twos, and then called Xi Zhicai.

"Where are you going?" Xi Zhicai fell asleep only at dawn, and was still a little confused at this time.

"Main operation!"

"What?"

"Look at what the Xiliang people said!"

"People are coming from Xiliang? They are really fast!" Xi Zhicai suddenly came to his senses.

"You already knew Xiliang would come?" Mu Jing turned around and glanced at Xi Zhicai.

"You think so, and I believe there are people in Xiliang who think so too. After all, Dong Zhuo has been able to get it to this day. It is impossible for him to have first-class counselors under his command. As long as he has a unique vision, how can he not think of this!" Zhicai's analysis. .

……

After the two entered the tent of the main camp of the Violent Bear Army, they found that there were already many people standing in the battalion. Among the two armies of Violent Bear Nanyang, generals and generals had gathered together. Mu Shan was at the top, Huang Shao and Jiang Lu lined up Sit down, and the rest of the generals stand in line.

And a scribe stood proudly in the center.

This scribe was wearing a gray Confucian robe, in his early thirties, with a beard on his chin. He looked a little thin, but there was a trace of elegance on his body. He was a scholar, but his eyes met. There is a gloomy light, which makes people a little unhappy.

The gray-robed scribe stood among them, talking eloquently. He was arguing with Jiang Lu, the adviser next to Mushan, and had a slight upper hand, saying that Jiang Lu should panic.

"Brother Huzi, who is this?"

Mu Jing went up and asked Lei Hu.

"What's the name of the envoy representing the Liangzhou army..." Lei Hu thought for a while and said, "Li Ru, call him Li Ru!"

"Li Ru?"

Not only Mu Jing's pupils, but even his face changed color slightly.

Is it the ruthless man in history who has been stinking for thousands of years, single-handedly supported the great demon king Dong Zhuo to the peak of the power ministers of the Han Dynasty, and even poisoned the young emperor with his own hands, and then burned Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital, to ruins with a torch?

Mujing involuntarily sucked in a breath of air.

He didn't expect to see this ruthless man under such circumstances.

"Is he very powerful?" Xi Zhicai saw Mu Jing's expression changed, and immediately squinted his eyes quietly, looking at the gray-robed scribe carefully, and said.

"Not to be underestimated!"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "According to the information I got, this person is the number one military adviser in Dong Zhuo's camp. Dong Zhuo had his advice when he entered the Guanping Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Dong Zhuo also had his advice in the battle of Xiliang. His participation, his contribution to advance and retreat, allowed Dong Zhuo to have the military power he has today!"
