Chapter 343 Under the City

Forced by the strength of the Xiliang Army, the Kanto princes kept silent about the siege of the city, but small means emerged one after another. During this period, there were several rebellions in the city of Luyang. Because the scale was too small, they were soon wiped out by the Xiliang army who heard the news.

Yuan Qian's arrow branch persuasion to surrender has a certain influence. There are many ambitious people in Luyang City. They also want to introduce the princes into the customs and achieve a lot of fame. Heroes don't ask where they come from.

"Wenyou, our army intends to withdraw from Luoyang." Jia Rong intends to have a thorough showdown with Li Ru.

Li Ru is definitely not a person who is willing to retreat from the mountains and forests, but he can't become a qualified lord because of his personality.

It seems that Jia Rong had already expected this. Li Ru nodded and said, "Ruoyang is a place of right and wrong. You can't stay for a long time. Does the general want to go back to Liangzhou?" Li Ru was surprised by Jia Rong's decisive decision. Luoyang is a prosperous place, just like Xianyang of the Qin Empire. It has a supreme position and can't be easily cut off.

Jia Rong said with a smile, "Wenyou, I don't know whether to talk about something or not?"

"But it doesn't matter!" Recently, Li Ru has been busy rectifying military affairs and investigating the assassination of Dong Zhuo, but based on all kinds of information, there is no clue at all. The assassination has been planned for a long time and the means are skillful. Even the traces left after the successful assassination make it difficult to capture useful information.

"I want Wen You to come to Xiliang Army to help me!" Jia Rong stared at Li Ru with burning eyes and said.

Li Ru did not refuse directly. He looked closely at Jia Rong and seemed to want to find something from Jia Rong's eyes.

"Dong Gong Dong is grateful to me, and the scholar dies for his confidant, and Zhiyuan does not want to..."

"The tree is moved to death, and people are moved to live. Why does Wen You have to be so crazy? With the talent of Wen You, you will definitely have a seat in the Xiliang army. As expected, the world is bound to be in chaos. With the military strength of the Xiliang Army and the strategy of Wen You, you can sweep the world. At that time, the Xiliang Army will achieve the business of the king, and Wen You will be famous in history." Jia Rong interrupted Li Ru and said.

Li Ru's eyes stared at Jia Rong, as if he was attracted by his words. It was undeniable that Jia Rong's words were indeed very attractive. They swept the world and became famous in history. Which one was not the dream of by countless heroes? Xi Liangjun could easily do it. Li Ru had full faith in his own strategy. Heart, as long as you are a wise master, you can have your own position in the army.

"Zhiyuan, what's wrong with you?" Dong Zhuo still has a great influence in Li Ru's heart.

"Good birds choose trees to live, loyal ministers choose masters and things. Not only do you choose ministers, but I also choose you. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Think about it carefully."

"You choose a minister, I choose a king?" Li Ru muttered softly, and his eyes became deeper and deeper. All he knew was that "a scholar died for his confidant". How could he choose a king? But if you think about it carefully, it was like this.

"Zhiyuan, but please don't worry, our army will fully cooperate with the withdrawal of Luoyang."

Looking at Li Ru's departure, Jia Rong's imperceptible smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. The words just now set off a stormy wave in Li Ru's heart. The Xiliang Army's preferential treatment for soldiers and generals do not need to be told by Jia Rong. As the second-in-command of Dong Jun, if he doesn't even know these, can it be called a talent?

Three days later, under the compulsion of the Xiliang Army, hundreds of officials withdrew from Luoyang, and the grain and grass lasted for dozens of miles. The treasures in the palace were swept away by the Xiliang Army. These things left to the Kanto princes would only increase their strength. The things in the imperial mausoleum had long been secretly searched by Jia Xu. Clean.

To Jia Rong's surprise, the jade seal in the palace disappeared. No matter how he looked for it, there was no trace. Jia Rong smiled bitterly. Under his own influence, many things still did not change, but Jia Rong didn't care so much about a jade seal.

The jade seal was the place of true life in ancient times, symbolizing the son of heaven. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would not be in a hurry to claim the emperor after getting the jade seal. The jade seal represents the imperial order.

The Xiliang army turned over the palace but could not find the jade seal, so Jia Rong had to give up.

Just evacuated from Luoyang, the allied forces that had been waiting outside the city for a long time moved into Luyang with the help of the family in the city.

Standing in the towering palace, Yuan Shao suddenly felt heroic. This feeling could only be experienced by Xiang Yu in those years. However, the situation in the palace was not optimistic. It was a mess. Most of the palace eunuchs were driven away by Jia Rong. The Allies worked hard and got nothing but an empty palace and a poor people.

"Ryoyang has been deeply harmed by the Xiliang army and Dong Zhuo. Our army should give an edict to calm the people, pursue the Xiliang army, and welcome the emperor back to Luoyang." Cao Cao said more and more.

When Jia Rong was about to leave, he just searched the treasures in the palace. These buildings still existed, and the maids of honor took away a few of them. Like the consumables like maids of honor, they should try not to take them away. After going to Chang'an, Jia Rong also wanted to lay off a group of eunuchs and concubines in the palace. Jia Rong led the Han Emperor to move the capital to Chang'an. How many princes can buy it? The consumption of the palace is actually a tax in various places.

"Meng De, the matter of Anmin will be issued later, but I don't know which general is willing to go to the pursuit of the Xiliang Army?" Yuan Shao suddenly felt how wise it was for Jia Rong to take away the officials and the emperor. In this way, there is no need to be afraid of many things. Not only does Dong Zhuo hate those great scholars, but Yuan Shao is also not used to it, but such a court is a little strange in Yuan Shao's eyes, just like a child playing at home, and no one will admit your cooperation. Legal identity.

The princes in the palace talked a lot, and no one dared to come forward. The Xiliang army was not a soft persimmon. Thousands of cavalry attacked at one time, which was enough to beat the pursuing coalition forces.

No one dared to answer for a long time. Cao Cao Cao said angrily, "I don't know the king's worries. The emperor is in exile. Are we shrinking in Luyang for comfort? If you don't go, I'll take people there by myself, hum."

After saying that, Cao Cao waved his sleeves and left behind the princes who looked at each other. Cao Cao's words were reasonable. It is said that the emperor was in exile. The most important thing for the master of the king of Qin was to recover the emperor and make the world stable, but no princes dared to answer. On the one hand, it was attributed to the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army, and on the other hand, it was the privacy of the princes. The heart is strange. Luyang has attacked, but who will give the position they want in the hearts of the princes? In the months of war, the princes have been exhausted.

"Alas, Meng De is still the same, Yuan Taishou, you take someone to pick up Meng De." Growing up with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao still has a certain affection for Cao Cao.

"Now Luoyang is in the hands of the coalition forces, when the imperial edict is to the world, attack the Xiliang army, and take back the emperor." Yuan Shao said loudly.

Which of the princes in the palace is not a smooth person. Naturally, they understand what Yuan Shao means. Although Yuan Shao's words are awe-inspiring, how many real emotions can there be.

"The leader of the alliance has made great contributions, and we are willing to be sent by the alliance leader." Bao Xin leaned over and bowed.

The princes in the palace sneered secretly. Luoyang has been captured, and there is no alliance leader. If the emperor is not here, the world is bound to be in chaos. It is inevitable that the princes in the palace are facing each other. There is no alliance leader. At the beginning, there was just a common interest.

Seeing that only Bao Xin echoed, Yuan Shao's face was a little ugly.

Under the sweep of the Xiliang army, the palace was in a mess. Sun Jian volunteered to clean the palace. A group of princes did not doubt that he was there. They divided their troops to guard all parts of Luyang. Among them, there were unconstrained princes, and their soldiers bullied the people in the city at will.

As early as when Dong Zhuo was in charge, the large households and rich merchants in Luyang City were basically looted, and all these supplies were taken away by the Xiliang Army, and even the imperial mausoleum was swept away. It can be said that there are only magnificent palaces in Luoyang City except for the poor people.

Let's say that the Xiliang army walked all the way west to Xingyang, and the defenders had already gone out of the city to welcome them.

Li Ru said, "Our army retreats in a hurry, and the princes must have pursuers. It's better to ambuve the soldiers and horses outside the city, kill the pursuers unprepared, so that the princes don't look down on our army and talk lightly about the war."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Wen You's words are very serious. What do you think of Wen He?"

Jia Xu brushed his beard and said, "In a certain opinion, when you ambush the troops after the ambush, there are many strategic men in the coalition."

Li Ru immediately understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words. The eyes of Jia Xu also contained a trace of awe. Why did he not find such a figure in the Xiliang Army in the past? Somehow, there was a sense of oppression in his heart. If he defected to the Xiliang Army, the person in front of him must be a powerful competitor. Thinking of this person in the Xiliang Army I can't help but feel relieved to hold the position of Zuo Junshi.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Wen Youwen's words are reasonable."

"Feng Xian Zilong, you two take 2,000 cavalry to ambush each. When you meet the princes chasing soldiers, Feng Xian kills for a while. If the allied forces are defeated and Feng Xian retreats back, Zilong will still ambush."

"No!" The two left with fists, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and prepared for the ambush.

Zhao Yun is thoughtful and always thinks about Jia Rong's orders, while Lv Bu is a true war figure. As long as there is a war to fight, it can make his blood boil.

The news that Cao Cao will catch up with Jia Rong's heart is bright. Not only that, but he also knows that only one pursuer will come. Of course, it is better not to know this kind of thing, otherwise it will be too evil.

Cao Cao angrily led him away from Luyang and led more than 10,000 people to catch up with the Xiliang Army.

The Xiliang Army carried a lot of grain and fodder, and the marching speed was naturally extremely slow. Fortunately, the counties along the way were the people and horses of the Xiliang Army, and there were no obstacles along the way.

After Cao Cao led more than 10,000 people and horses to take over Xingyang, he immediately led the soldiers out of the city to pursue him and went to the mountain dock that Lv Bu was ambush. With a trumpet, Lv Bu led 2,000 iron horses to kill, and the killed Cao army threw away their helmets and abandoned their armor. If it hadn't been for Xiahou Dun Cao Ren and others to protect Cao Cao, I'm afraid Jia Rong would meet Cao again.

was defeated by the Xiliang army, and Cao Cao collected the remnants of the army and went to Luyang.

When Yuan Shao learned that Cao Cao was defeated in the pursuit of the Xiliang army, he personally went out of the city to greet him. He was comforted.

In Luoyang Palace, Cao Cao looked at the expressions of the princes and sneered, "It's not a pity that our army was defeated. Unfortunately, the army missed a good opportunity. If there is another army after our army's defeat, we will definitely win a big victory."
