Chapter 397
Luoyang, the capital of the Twelve Emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an with a nursery rhyme: "There is a Han in the west, a Han in the east, and the deer walks into Chang'an, and it will be easy to move to Chang'an". However, Luoyang is the old capital after all, and Dong Zhuo did not You may give up lightly, and you will not be able to explain to the officials.

So Dong Zhuo appointed Dong Yue as Zhonglang general, and Song Guo, Li Meng and others assisted in defending the city.

At the beginning of Dong Yue's control of Luoyang, he was like the emperor of a land. All civil and military officials, nobles and rich people were all forced to move to the capital by Dong Zhuo. In Luoyang city, except for the military family, there were hungry people who could not walk.

Dong Yue was full of promises, but soon he tasted the bitterness of being alone. First, Dong Min was defeated, and then Dong Huang was defeated. The whereabouts of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were unknown. In the hands of Lu Chengjun, how can he, a reckless man, resist Lu Chengjun?
Dong Yue was about to write to Dong Zhuo, requesting to withdraw to Chang'an.

Before the courier left, Guo Si's courier who asked to flank Liu Bei had arrived.

Lu Chengjun is already in Gucheng, how can I go back to Chang'an safely?

Dong Yue was in a dilemma, and news of Xu Rong's retreat without a fight also came. Dong Yue was completely frightened and restless.

Liu Dai and others are stationed in Suanzao, Kong Zhou is stationed in Yingchuan, Zhu Jun is in Zhongmou, and Yuan Shu is in Luyang. In this Henan province, only Luoyang is still in Dong Zhuo's hands. Dong Yue became the turtle in the urn.

"Captain Xu can't stand it anymore?"

To tell the truth, Xu Rong faced hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou troops alone, and Dong Yue really had no idea. Once tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops came west, even if they defeated the Lucheng army, Zhu Jun's soldiers would not sit idly by.

With Luoyang's [-]-odd troops against the [-]-odd troops in the Kwantung, Dong Yue is really incapable of doing so.

"General Zhonglang is at ease. The captain has a plan. He is going to ambush Cao Cao in Bianshui to frighten the princes of the Guandong."

"well!"

Dong Yue applauded loudly after hearing Xu Rong's idea.

While Dong Yue sent Guo Si's envoy back, he said that the reinforcements would arrive soon, and hoped that Captain Guo would persevere.

While sending Xu Rong's envoy back, let him tell Xu Rong that Luoyang is as stable as Mount Tai, and Xu Rong can do whatever he wants.

Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Kwantung were shocked in the First World War, so Dong Yue's name must have been heard all over the country. Xu Rong hadn't won yet, and Dong Yue shamelessly took the credit for himself.

Dong Yue also ordered the soldiers around Luoyang to move closer to Luoyang. Once Xu Rong frightened the princes of the Guandong, he, as the chief general, would first destroy all the princes' armies to show his martial arts.

Zhu Jun of Zhongmu, the three generals of Zhonglang who destroyed the Yellow Turban, should not be underestimated.

As for Liu Bei's Lucheng Army, Dong Min and Dong Huang were his lessons learned, so Dong Yue set his sights on the Kong Zhou Department stationed in Yangcheng.

Dong Yuexue was ambitious, but he didn't expect that he was someone else's lunch. Feng Ji had targeted him long ago, and sent a general to sneak into Luoyang city secretly while the soldiers from various counties were going to Luoyang, and surrounded Luoyang overnight. .

If Dong Yue hadn't ordered the Xiliang army to cheer up, Wen Chou might have succeeded in stealing the city, but it's a pity that the Xiliang army was too elite, so Wen Chou left hundreds of corpses and retreated.

Fengji unfurled Yuan Shao's banner to besiege Luoyang. At noon, the surviving officers and troops around Luoyang and those who had fled into the mountains came to vote one after another.

At the same time, Yanshi, Goushi and other counties sent people to Fengji Office to inquire about the news, and Yuan Shao was welcome to take over several counties. If it weren't for the Xiliang Army still occupying the eight passes around Luoyang, the entire Henan county would be destroyed with Fengji's arrival. Change flag.

Dong Yue couldn't bear the pressure, so he hurriedly sent troops to ask Xu Rong for help. Only Xu Rong in Henan County had spare troops, and he was the only one who dared to rescue Dong Yue without fear of life and death.

Xu Rong from Xingyang received Luoyang's worry-free situation before dark, and Luoyang was in crisis after dawn. If there were two consecutive waves of envoys, if he didn't know Song Guo himself, he might have withdrawn Song Guo immediately and cut him down.

"Lieutenant Xu, General Feng Ji and Wen Chou of Yuan Shao led an army of tens of thousands to attack the city. Counties and counties around Luoyang fell upon hearing the news. The situation in Luoyang is at stake! I hope the captain will send troops to rescue the city quickly."

Song Guo begged bitterly, Xu Rong is an outsider after all, and Dong Yue is a member of Dong Zhuo's clan. If he sees death and refuses to save him, how can Dong Zhuo be difficult to explain?

But if he retreats, Cao Cao will be invincible all the way west, which will inevitably cause the gentry in Yanzhou to attack him. At that time, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to save Luoyang City.

It would be better to defeat Cao Cao first to deter the princes of the Guandong, and then send troops to Luoyang to defeat Fengji, Wen Chou and others.

Xu Rong immediately told Song Guo what he thought, and said: "It's not that Song Sima can't be rescued, but that Cao Cao is in a hurry. If you don't defeat him, the princes of the Guandong may come from the west. Please inform General Dong Zhonglang, and I will do it within two days. Lead the army to help, please Zhonglang will hold out for two days."

"Here!"

Song Guo was not an illiterate soldier. After being explained by Xu Rong, he immediately understood Xu Rong's meaning and did not procrastinate. He immediately rode back to Chang'an.

The news that Luoyang was in danger and that Xu Rong withdrew overnight to Luoyang quickly spread inside and outside Xingyang, and then Xu Rong led his soldiers into battle lightly and abandoned all their belongings.

Seeing this, Xingyang Commander hurriedly sent someone to contact Cao Cao and surrendered with the city.

"My lord, is there any fraud in this matter?"

Wei Zi, who followed Cao Cao to fight, saw the envoy of Xingyang admonished him.

Cao Cao shook his head: "Wei Sima doesn't know something. This emissary is a member of Zheng Tai and Zheng Gongye's clan. Zheng Gongye is a famous person in the world. How could his clan vote for Dong Bandit?"

"Here!"

Cao Cao persuaded Wei Zi to march into Xingyang overnight. The four gates of Xingyang city were opened, and the order of Xingyang went out to surrender in person. Cao Cao was overjoyed. He accepted the surrender of Xingyang order but did not surrender.

Xu Rong's troops are all cavalry, and he is an infantry soldier. If Xu Rong does not drive all night, he may not be able to catch up with Xu Rong. down.

"Brother Meng De, this is not good! The soldiers are all tired all night, and they are rushing all night, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be lost, and if they catch up, they will not be able to fight anymore!"

Weitz persuaded again.

Cao Cao said: "The law of war says: Bing is expensive and fast, but also unexpected. Xu Rong must have never imagined that a certain party will march overnight, and his army has no fighting spirit. Coupled with a surprise attack, it will definitely be defeated in one battle."

Xu Rong really didn't expect that Cao Cao would march overnight, so Xu Rong made food in the third watch and counterattacked Xingyang in the fifth watch, just in time for an encounter with Cao Cao.

Xu Rong's troops were all elite cavalry and were full of energy and food, while Cao Cao's army was all recruits, and they had traveled for several nights, hungry, and their fate was self-evident.

Cao Cao's army collapsed at the first touch, Cao Cao's troops were dispersed, and Wei Zi died in battle. Cao Cao escaped his life by crossing the Bian River under the cover of his brother Cao Hong. Build a more elite cavalry than the Xiliang iron cavalry."

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry took shape under the stimulation of Xiliang iron cavalry.

A classmate got married and went to help after get off work at four o'clock yesterday, and didn't get home until six o'clock this afternoon.
