Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 289 Mianchi
Chapter 280 Nine

"According to what you said, Dong Zhuo didn't want to defend Luoyang, but wanted to escape?" Sun Jian came to his own conclusion, but he was taken aback by his conclusion.

"My subordinates thought that was exactly the case. I heard that Dong Zhuo was defeated in Zhongmou, losing troops and losing generals. Thinking about coming to Luoyang, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he wanted to escape." Cheng Pu said excitedly.

"But this must be just our guess. It would be bad if Dong Zhuo didn't want to escape. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, the current strength of the army is not something we can shake." Sun Jian said hesitantly.

"This subordinate has already made up his mind. There is a small town called Yongning in the south of Luoyang. Our army will not guard against a surprise attack on Yongning. When Dong Zhuo sees our army killing us, he will definitely think that our army is approaching. If Dong Zhuo wants to escape, he will definitely die by then. If we escape, we will take the opportunity to march into Luoyang, and we will definitely take Luoyang in one fell swoop." Cheng Pu said.

"Well, this is good, but it doesn't do much good for our army." Huang Gai, who had been silent at the side, said suddenly: "At present, our 40 army is advancing in two ways, and Dong Zhuo's 20 army can't stop it. Living in Yuan Shao, he probably wouldn't use tens of thousands of troops to block the army of the princes. Therefore, his subordinates thought that the purpose of Dong Zhuo's transfer of Li Jue and Guo Si this time was to protect himself and to transport Luoyang's treasures. Artifacts. Therefore, our army should not attack Yongan, which is located in the south of Luoyang, but should attack Mianchi in the west of Luoyang. Although Dong Zhuo has a large number of troops, but time is tight, and Dong Zhuo has a lot of wealth with him. If we can attack If we succeed in Mianchi, we can stop Dong Zhuo's way, and our army will gain incalculable wealth." Huang Gai said, with bursts of green light in his eyes, obviously because of the possible wealth from Luoyang revel.

"I don't agree. It's too risky to do so. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, his strength is still not something we can shake. If we occupy Mianchi and cut off the passage for Dong Zhuo to escape in detail, then Dong Zhuo will definitely fight us for his life. We You won't get any benefits." Cheng Pu quickly objected that Huang Gai's idea was too risky.

"Stop arguing, you all make sense, so we will divide our forces into two groups. Cheng Pu, you will lead 2000 troops to Yong'an and take charge of attacking Yong'an. Huang Gai and I will lead the rest of the troops to Mianchi. If Dong Zhuo really If you want to escape, you will definitely panic when you see the movement from Yong'an. By then, we will intercept and kill halfway in Mianchi, but we will get a lot of money. The accumulation of the big man for hundreds of years will not fall Dong Zhuo's hands." Sun Jian finally made up his mind, although Cheng Pu's plan could make Sun Jian invincible, but facing the wealth accumulated by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, Sun Jian still had to be tempted. It is said that the accumulation of the royal family and the ten permanent servants over the years must be quite a lot. As long as he can get a part of it, Sun Jian believes that it will be a considerable income for him.

"The general insists on going, and my subordinates have nothing to say. I just hope that my lord will only intercept Dong Zhuo's belongings halfway. We really don't want to take the lead in occupying Mianchi and cut off Dong Zhuo's escape route to the west." Seeing that Sun Jian had made up his mind, Cheng Pu reminded again.

"Haha, I know you are afraid that I will cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat and cause Dong Zhuo and me to fight to the death, but don't worry about this, I have my own measure." Sun Jian waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he knew.

Early the next morning, when the sun began to shine on the earth, there were already many people standing outside Yong'an City. These people were all dressed as countrymen. With a broken bowl.From a rough look, they all came to Yong'an City to discuss life.However, these people looked up at the Yong'an City Tower from time to time.One of these people was a thick and tall man carrying a shoulder pole. Two bundles of firewood were firmly tied on the shoulder pole. His straw hat must have been pressed down to cover most of his face. general.

A group of soldiers guarding the city on the tower glanced at these people outside the city and started chatting carelessly.According to the previous rules, it was time to open the city gate, but right now the princes were fighting with Dong Zhuo, so the time to open the city gate was delayed a lot, saying that it was to prevent spies from sneaking into the city.

"Grandma, why are there so many people outside the city today?"

"These days are full of chaos, and life is not easy. Naturally, more people come out to ask for a living. Look at the number of beggars today."

"How much oil and water can this Yong'an have, they come here to ask for a living, it's better to go directly to Luoyang in a few steps."

"That's what you said wrong. Today's Luoyang is no better than our Yong'an."

"I also heard that the properties of many gentlemen were seized in Luoyang. It's a pity that we are not Xiliang soldiers, so we can't reach Luoyang. Otherwise, we can get a lot of money this time."

"Stop talking nonsense, open the city gate." At this moment, an officer came over and shouted to the soldiers.

Then the winch on the tower began to rotate slowly, and with a creak, the gate of Yong'an was finally opened from the inside.

"Listen, in order to prevent spies from sneaking into the city, everyone who enters the city must pay ten pearls." The moment the city gate opened, a team of dozens of people rushed out, and the leading officer rushed out. The people outside the city shouted loudly.

This person's name is Wang Ernai, the gatekeeper of Yong'an City. Today, seeing many new faces outside the city, he thinks that these people escaped from Luoyang.Anyway, Dong Zhuo's extensive search in Luoyang has already spread to Yong'an, so Wang Er naturally doesn't mind making some money by the way.

"Hehe, Mr. Jun, this is a small toll. Please drink some tea to Mr. Jun." Hearing what Wang Er said, Cheng Pu's heart skipped a beat.

"Hehe, I don't see that there is some money." Seeing that Cheng Pu was the first to pay the money, Wang Er was startled at first, but then his face changed: "It's about the money from my sister-in-law's third cousin's nephew's house." Was it stolen by you? Someone, take it back for me and ask about it.”

Seeing that Cheng Pu came over to pay the money first, Wang Er's expression changed and he shouted loudly, and then the soldiers behind him stretched out their hands to push Cheng Pu to the ground in order to make him stronger.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Wang Er. Although there are many people here today, it seems that only Cheng Pu's dress is close to the money, so Wang Er can only go to Cheng Pu if he wants to change money.

"Looking for death." Seeing that a group of soldiers were about to attack him, Cheng Pu kicked Wang Er in front of him to the ground, and then pulled out a sharp sword from the firewood he picked.

With a "thud" Cheng Pu's saber pierced into Wang Er's heart, and then the beggars squatting on the edge of the city gate, as well as the common people in all kinds of clothes pulled out their sabers from nowhere, screaming and rushing. To the soldiers guarding the city.

"Quickly, close the city gate." Seeing the scene below the city, the soldiers on the tower shouted hurriedly, wanting to rush down and close the city gate, but it was obviously too late.

After Cheng Pu killed Wang Er with a single knife, he immediately rushed into the city gate and headed towards the top of the tower.

As the battle started at the gate of the city, well-dressed soldiers also rushed out from a hidden place not far away, rushing towards the gate of the city.Not long after, the entire Yong'an City was beaten down by Cheng Pu.Afterwards, a large flag was hung up by Cheng Pu, and a tall and straight character "Sun" on the flag fluttered in the wind.

"What did you say, Sun Jian captured Yong'an?" Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard the soldiers report the fall of Yong'an. Two days ago, when he heard that Sun Jian's soldiers appeared nearby, Dong Zhuo didn't pay attention to it. Wancheng is still in the hands of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo believes that even if Sun Jian comes, there will be no big waves. But now it seems that Dong Zhuo feels that he still underestimated Sun Jian.

"Is there any news from Wancheng?" Hearing that Sun Jian had occupied Yong'an, Li Ru hurriedly asked in confusion.

"Two days ago, I received news from Wancheng that Yuan Shu did not plan to attack the city on a large scale." Niu Fu replied after thinking for a while.

"Now I can't control that much anymore. If the order continues, the capital will be moved to Chang'an today. I will take away every plant and tree in Luoyang City, and I will never leave it to the Yuan brothers." Dong Zhuo said viciously.

So Xiliang soldiers rushed into the homes of the people and drove them to Chang'an. All the property, food and grass in the home were looted. He staggered towards the west.

Dong Zhuo's new move quickly reached the ears of Sun Jian outside Mianchi City.

"General Dong Zhuo is cruel, so the foundation of the great man in Luoyang will be completely destroyed." Huang Gai said a little angrily.

"Hmph, if Dong Zhuo wasn't so greedy, I wouldn't have dared to take Mianchi's idea, but since Dong Zhuo wanted to take away the whole of Luoyang, it also brought us a chance." Sun Jian said with a wink of eyebrows.

"The general means to attack Mianchi?" Huang Gai asked excitedly.

"In the past, I didn't dare to attack Mianchi lightly because I felt that Dong Zhuo was so powerful that our army was invincible, but now Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses not only carry a lot of luggage, but also engulf a large number of people. In this way, Dong Zhuo can use There must not be many soldiers and horses participating in the battle, but it gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it." Sun Jian said with a chuckle.

"The general is right. If Dong Zhuo doesn't want to be held back by our army, he might have to leave some luggage behind." Huang Gai was a little excited at the thought of being able to share the hundreds of years of accumulation of the big man from Dong Zhuo.

So Sun Jian quietly came outside Mianchi City with his soldiers and horses.

"Listen, people on the tower. General Niu Fu has an order. The things in the car behind will be stored in Mianchi for the night today. Open the city gate quickly." Outside Mianchi city, a group of people dressed as Xiliang soldiers dragged More than a dozen carts shouted to the officers and soldiers above Mianchi City.
