Chapter 56 Chang'an City is old and pale

The city is a small palace. Its wall is 15 meters high and the thickness is five meters. It is said that when the wall was built at that time, Dong Zhuo personally tested the hardness of the wall and stabbed the wall with black iron halberd. As a result, it was pierced into a depth of half a meter. Dong Zhuo was still not satisfied with such a hard level. He asked that the hardness of the wall should be reached: use The black iron halberd can only pierce into the depth of four fingers.

The palaces in the imperial city are all made of stone without a single piece of wood. The palace is built in this way to prevent fires.

Such a small palace was the one who hated Dong Zhuo in those years, and the indignant people could not hurt him, whether it was burned by fire or with an axe.

"Oh, is that right?" Tai Shici seemed to hear Diao Chan's intention from Ma Yunqi's chatter: Could it be that Diao Chan wants to use these two places as a place for practice? Tai Shici stared at Diao Chan affectionately.

For Tai Shici's reaction, Diao Chan smiled approvingly at Tai Shi Ci. At the same time, he gently opened his lips and said softly to Tai Shi Ci, "Tai Shi, at this time, the plague in Luoyang City should have been almost dispersed by the traditional Chinese medicine saints such as Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing... It is said that the emerging religion - Buddhism, there is also a Taoist monk leading a disciple Luoyang. The Buddhist secret method is used to expel the plague near the city. In this way, Luoyang City is much safer at this time. After this winter, many people will return to their hometown at the beginning of next spring..."

After listening to Diao Chan's words, Tai Shi Ci smiled and whispered to Diao Chan and Ma Yunqi, "Well, let's choose the nearest journey to Luoyang City first!"

Then, Tai Shici pointed to the huge map and designated the nearest journey to Luoyang City to Sulman, Liu Kang and others, and gave them an order to set off.

After that, under the light of the morning sun, a team of more than 2,000 soldiers escorted 40 trucks and hundreds of horses on the journey.

In the morning, a new day begins. However, Yuan Shao, who woke up from a coma, was in a poor state, and his mood was depressed and dark, which was in sharp contrast to the fresh air and charming sunshine outside the window.

Changshi Jushou is reporting the military situation to Yuan Shao, who is lying flat **: "... Muhou, according to the latest battle report ahead: Gongsun Zan led the Youzhou army to the Luohe Stone Bridge... According to the war report, the Youzhou army has lost nearly 10,000 soldiers..."

When he spoke, his expression was extremely excited, as if the Yizhou Army had won an important victory. In fact, Ju Shu's expression was all disguised, and his heart was extremely depressed. But in order to take care of Yuan Shao's mood, he can only pick up good things and ignore bad things as much as possible.

However, although Yuan Shao was in a very bad mood, his mind was very clear. He asked Ju Shu in a low voice, "Ju Shu, how many troops have we lost since last night? What is the situation of the Luohe Stone Bridge? ..."

When Ju Shu heard Yuan Shao's question, his previous gloomy expression suddenly faded. He looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Ju Shu Chang Shi!" Yuan Shao suddenly sat up and roared harshly.

Ju Shu was suddenly roared by Yuan Shao and trembled all over. Under Yuan Shao's sharp eyes, Ju Shu stammared and said, "I returned to Muhou... From last night to... At this time, we have lost at least 30,000 soldiers..."

Ju Shu said this, Yuan Shao's face was still the previous tension. Ju Shu tried his best to think of the right wording: it can not only properly explain the facts, but also without infuriating Yuan Shao.

"Muhou, from the siege battle to the pursuit of the Youzhou army, the soldiers on our side are basically the soldiers of Yizhou's rich families..." Ju Shu was bold and looked at Yuan Shao without blinking.

At this time, when Yuan Shao heard this, his nervous face began to ease: "Ju Shu Changshi, what about the situation of the Luohe Stone Bridge?"

Yuan Shao's normal questioning was like a knife poking into Ju Shu's heart. Ju Shu clearly felt a pain in his heart. He opened his mouth to say, but there was only movement and no sound.

Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shu's appearance of wanting to talk and stopping. The feeling of being hung in his appetite suddenly made him angry. He slapped Ju Shu's old face and roared at the same time, "Ju Shu's long history, bastard, how can you talk to your mother-in-law today... If you have something to say and fart quickly!"

Ju Shu was slapped by Yuan Shao and was immediately stunned on the spot: Before that, Yuan Shao, who came from a noble background, was extremely courteous and respectful to people. He was a virtuous sergeant and not humble to anyone. As we all know, after Yuan Shao became an adult, there was only one out of his words and deeds in public, that was, he drew a knife with the traitor Dong Zhuo in the face of the emperor. At that time, Yuan Shao became a landmark figure in the world against Dong Zhuo and a hero in the minds of the people.

Ju Shu didn't expect that Yuan Shao dared to slap himself in front of the bodyguard. He was angry, sad and afraid in his heart.

Ju Shu raised his hand and touched the cheek beaten by Yuan Shao. He calmly said to Yuan Shao and said, "Muhou, there is no need to be impatient. Rong Bei's report step by step: Luohe Stone Bridge has been lost before Gongsun Zan arrived. General Yan Liang, who guarded Luohe Stone Bridge, was defeated by Taishi Ci and Ma Yunqi, and General Yan Liang was killed with one arrow. He penetrated his left chest and was hit hard on the head. Fortunately, General Yan Liang's heart was born to the right. General Yan Liang was seriously injured and was in a coma, but there was no worry about his life... Report to the Muhou that the Luohe Stone Bridge was lost!"

Finally, Ju Shu suddenly said. When Yuan Shao heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. He raised his finger and looked at Ju Shu. A burst of rapid breathing made him speechless. Then, Yuan Shao fell heavily on the pillow.

The military doctor beside him hurried forward to carry out the treatment. After Yuan Shao woke up, his expression was extremely decadent, as if he had been tortured by the disease. He said weakly to Ju Shu, "Ju Shu's long history, pass on the order of the owner of the alliance: First, order Liu Bei and Lv Bu to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible. Second, the Yizhou army will return to Yizhou on a day..."

After Yuan Shao gave the order, he closed his eyes, and a line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Yuan Shao's mood can be felt by Ju Shu: although on the surface, the allied forces got what they wanted, defeated the Xiliang Legion, and successfully captured Chang'an City, none of Yuan Shao's secret plans have been realized. What's the result? The brothers turned against each other and openly broke up. At the critical moment, Yuan Shu gave up his defense area and stabbed Yuan Shao behind his back. Although Leng Zi attacked the Allies, Gongsun Zan's side responded freely and saved half of his military strength to get rid of Yuan Shao's side's encirclement and interception, while Yuan Shao's side suffered heavy losses: not to mention tens of thousands of losses, he would be a fierce general under his command. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also seriously injured by Tai Shici and Zhao Yun. From then on, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had a deep blood feud.

Nowadays, Yuan Shao's side does not dare to stay in Chang'an City. Yuan Shao is also afraid that the Xiliang Legion will suddenly return to Chang'an City when it learns the actual situation of the anti-allied forces. Yuan Shao's morale is so low that can he resist the hatred-filled revenge attack of the Xiliang Legion? ... Therefore, Yuan Shao gave Changshi Ju an order for the army to retreat.

Liu Bei received Yuan Shao's order from the main army of the alliance. He reluctantly said goodbye to Emperor Xian and led the army back to the base area. Lv Bu received Yuan Shao's order from the main ally and didn't think so: because he hadn't had enough fun, he still had to harm Chang'an City. Lv Bu himself did not want to leave Chang'an City, and his tough and savage soldiers did not agree to leave Chang'an City.

It was not until Yuan Shao led a large army to leave Chang'an City that Captain Zhang Liao and Zang Ba urged Lv Bu to return to Xuzhou. At first, Lv Bu was unwilling to leave the hometown of wealth and gentleness, but under the reminder of Zhang Liao and Zang Ba: in case the Xiliang Legion counterattacked, and our iron cavalry was not good at city defense; in case Ma Teng's side colluded with the remnant forces of the Xiliang Legion, and if Yuan Shao's side also participated in it, he was as brave as Lv Bu and could not resist... At present The situation does not allow Lv Bu to lose his troops.

In the end, Lv Bu made up his mind to lead his generals to leave Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is a piece of fat meat for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Lv Bu, Liu Bei and other large and small forces, but it is not inevitable. For the Xiliang Legion, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not return to Liangzhou, which is all over the desert Gobi. They will reoccupy Chang'an City, even if they are involved in danger.

So, when Lv Bu's side finally left Chang'an City, Chang'an City fell into a dead silence, as if a generation of famous prostitutes had changed from old age to old age, from a doorlike city to a door. Only the thirsty wolf cubs such as the Xiliang Legion were eager to enter the room and become the master between the beds...

Let's talk about Gongsun Zong's side. After Zhao Yun broke off, he responded to the joint pursuit of Zhang Ao and Gao Lan, the fierce generals of Yizhou. Gongsun Zan led to break through the obstacles of Yizhou's army layer by layer. After a bloody battle, Gongsun Zan finally came to the Luohe Stone Bridge after losing nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Gongsun Zang saw from afar that the Luohe Stone Bridge was controlled by Baima Yicong. This made Gongsun Zan's heart hanging in his throat finally fall back, and all his worries and fears disappeared in an instant. If the Luohe Stone Bridge is not controlled by Baima Yi, then Gongsun Zan's side will be hit in a tragic situation: more than 10,000 tired soldiers against 100,000 soldiers, and the result is clear. Maybe Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun will be killed on the spot.

Gongsun Zan relied on the Luohe Stone Bridge to command the remaining army to set up a position. As a result, the Youzhou Army in the movement gradually turned to static, and the battalion was arranged in the open space in front of the Luohe Stone Bridge. Of course, except for Baima Yicong, the rest of the battalions are short of major generals.

After the break, Zhao Yunjing stood behind Gongsun Zan, and tens of thousands of Yizhou troops, under the leadership of Zhang Jian and Gao Lan, seemed to be like a wave.

When Zhang Ao and Gao Lan saw that the Luohe Stone Bridge had been controlled by Gongsun Zan, his companion Yan Liang was nowhere to be found. The two of them knew that the 20,000 soldiers led by Yan Liang were the soldiers of the Yan clan, the best equipped and most powerful army in the Yizhou Army. And they can't see Yan Liang himself and Yan's soldiers at this time. What does this situation mean? It shows that Yan Liang was defeated and lost control of the Luohe Stone Bridge.

What kind of enemy can defeat Yan Liang, who has 20,000 elite cavalry? Lu Bu? Liu Bei? These two strong men are in Chang'an City at this time. Who the hell is it? ... The more Zhang jaws and Gao Lan thought about it, the more confused and frightened they became. In the end, the two of them were scared by the invisible enemy and lost their fighting spirit. In the face of the enemy with only 10,000, they did not dare to launch an attack.

What if they launch an attack? Gongsun Zun's side can calmly withdraw his troops across the bridge. To occupy the bridge, it only takes thousands of people to resist the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers, because the space of the stone bridge is limited, which is the "land advantage" of the art of war, which is occupied by Gongsun Zan.
