Chapter 289 Mianchi
Chapter 289
"If you say so, Dong Zhuo doesn't want to guard Luoyang, but wants to escape?" Sun Jian came to his own conclusion, but he was also shocked by his conclusion.
"My subordinates thought it was the case. I heard that Dong Zhuo was defeated in Zhongmou and lost his soldiers. He couldn't keep it when he came to Luoyang, so he wanted to escape. Cheng Pu said excitedly.
"But this must be just our guess. If Dong Zhuo doesn't want to escape, it's not good. Although Dong Zhuo is defeated, the existing troops are not what we can shake." Sun Jian said hesitantly.
"This subordinate has an idea. There is a small town called Yongning in the south of Luoyang. Our army is unpreventing to attack Yongning. At that time, Dong Zhuo will think that our army is approaching when he sees our army. If Dong Zhuo wants to escape, he will definitely escape. We will take the opportunity to enter Luoyang and take Luoyang in one fell swoop. Cheng Pu said.
"Well, it's good, but it's not much good for our army." At this time, Huang Gai, who had not spoken at all the side, suddenly said, "At present, our 400,000 troops are divided into two ways. Dong Zhuo's 200,000 troops still can't stop Yuan Shao, and he will certainly not use tens of thousands of soldiers to stop the army of princes. Therefore, they thought that the purpose of Dong Zhuo's transfer of Li Wei and Guo Yan this time was to protect himself, and to carry Luoyang's treasures. Therefore, our army should not march into Yong'an, which is located in the south of Luoyang, but should attack Mianchi in the west of Luoyang. Although Dong Zhuo has many soldiers and horses, under the tight time, Dong Zhuo has a large number of goods with him. If we can attack Mianchi, we can intercept Dong Zhuo's way. At that time, the harvest of our army will be countless goods. As Huang Gai said, there was bursts of green light in his eyes, and he was obviously intoxicated by Luoyang's wealth that might get it.
"I don't agree. It's too risky. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, his strength is still not what we can shake. If we occupy Mianchi and cut off the detailed escape channel of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will definitely fight with us, and we will not get any benefits. Thinking that Huang Gai's idea was too risky, Cheng Pu quickly objected.
"Don't quarrel. Even what you said makes sense. In this way, we will act in two ways. Cheng Pu, you take 2,000 people to Yong'an and be responsible for attacking Yong'an. Huang Gai and I led the rest of the people to Mianchi. If Dong Zhuo really wants to escape, he will be panicked when he sees the movement on Yong'an's side. At that time, we will intercept and kill halfway in Mianchi, but we can just get a lot of money. The accumulation of hundreds of years of big men can't all fall into Dong Zhuo's hands. Sun Jian finally made up his mind. Although Cheng Pu's plan can make Sun Jian invincible, in the face of the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian also had to be moved. Among other things, the accumulation of the royal family and ten permanent servants over the years must not be small. As long as he can get a part of it, Sun Jianxiang Xin is a lot of income for me.
"The general insists on going, and his subordinates have nothing to say. They just hope that the lord is just intercepting Dong Zhuo's wealth halfway. It's really not to take the lead in occupying Mianchi and breaking the route of Dong Zhuo's escape." Seeing that Sun Jian had made up his mind, Cheng Pu reminded him again.
"Haha, I know you're afraid that I will break Dong Zhuo's retreat, which will lead Dong Zhuo and me to fight, but don't worry about this, I'm in moderation." Sun Jian waved his hand carelessly to show that he knew.
The next morning, when the sun began to shine on the earth, the outside of Yong'an City was full of people. These people were dressed as countrymen. Some people picked up firewood, some people caught their own egg-laying hen, and many beggars held a broken bowl in their hands. At a rough look, they all come to Yong'an City to make a living. However, these people look at the Yong'an Tower from time to time. One of these thick men carried a pair of poles. The two bundles of firewood on the pole was solid. The straw hat must have been pressed down to block most of his face. This man was none other than Cheng Pu, who was sent by Sun Jian to attack Yong'an City.
A group of soldiers guarding the city on the tower looked at these people outside the city and began to chat carelessly. According to the previous rules, it is now time to open the gate, but at present, the princes and soldiers are fighting with Dong Zhuo, and the time to open the gate has also been postponed a lot, saying that it is to prevent detectives from sneaking into the city.
"Grandma, why are there so many people out of the city today?"
"These days, the soldiers are in chaos, and life is not easy. Naturally, there are more people coming out to ask for a living. You see, there are really many beggars today."
"How much oil and water can Yong'an have? It's better for them to go directly to Luoyang in a few steps when they come here to make a living."
"You're wrong. Today's Luoyang is not better than our Yong'an."
"I also heard that the property of many old men in Luoyang has been sealed up. Unfortunately, we are not Xiliang soldiers. We can't get to Luoyang, otherwise we can get a lot of money this time."
"Stop talking nonsense and open the gate." At this time, an officer came over and shouted at the soldiers.
Then the winch above the tower began to rotate slowly, and then with a squeak, the gate of Yong'an finally opened from the inside.
"Listen, in order to prevent spies from sneaking into the city, everyone who enters the city has to pay ten beads." At the moment when the gate opened, a team of dozens of people rushed out, and the leading officers shouted at the crowd outside the city.
This man's name is Wang Er, who is the gatekeeper of Yong'an City. Today, he saw that there were suddenly many new faces outside the city, so he thought that these people had escaped from Luoyang. Anyway, the story of Dong Zhuo's big search in Luoyang has spread to Yong'an. Wang Er naturally doesn't mind making some money by the way.
"Ha ha, military master, this is a small toll. I'll treat you to tea." After listening to Wang Er's words, Cheng Pu was worried about how to sneak into the city.
"Yo, I can't see that there is some money." Seeing that Cheng Pu was the first to pay the money, Wang Er was shocked, but then his face changed and said, "Did you steal the money from my sister-in-law's third cousin's nephew's family? Come on, take it down and take it back and ask about it.
Seeing that Cheng Pu came to pay the money first, Wang Er's face suddenly changed and shouted, and then the soldiers behind him made Cheng Pu strong and stretched out his hand to press Cheng Pu to the ground.
In fact, Wang Er can't be blamed. Although there are many people coming today, it seems that only Cheng Pu's dress and money are closer, so Wang Er can only rush to Cheng Pu if he wants money.
"Looking for death." Seeing that a group of soldiers were going to fight against him, Cheng Puton flew up and kicked the king in front of him to the ground, and then pulled out a sharp sword from the firewood he picked.
With a "plop", Cheng Pu's sword had plunged into Wang Er's heart, and then the beggars squatted on the edge of the gate, as well as the people in all kinds of clothes, pulled out their knives from somewhere and shouted at the soldiers guarding the city.
"Quickly, close the gate." Seeing the scene under the city, the soldiers on the tower shouted quickly and wanted to rush down to close the gate, but it was obviously too late.
After Cheng Pu killed Wang Er with one knife, he immediately dodged and rushed into the gate and killed the tower.
As the battle at the gate began, neatly dressed soldiers rushed out of the hidden place not far away and rushed towards the gate. Before long, the whole Yong'an City was knocked down by Cheng Pu. After that, a big flag was hung by Cheng Pu, and a straight "Sun" on the flag fluttered in the wind.
"What are you talking about? Sun Jian attacked Yong'an?" Hearing that the soldiers reported the loss of Yong'an, Dong Zhuo was shocked. When he heard that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses appeared nearby two days ago, Dong Zhuo did not pay attention to it. He must be that Hu Prison Pass and Wancheng were still in Dong Zhuo's hands. Dong Zhuo believed that even if Sun Jian came, he could not make any big waves. But now, Dong Zhuo felt that I still underestimated Sun Jian.
"Is there any news from Wancheng?" Hearing that Sun Jian had occupied Yong'an, Li Ru was also surprised.
"Two days ago, I received news from Wancheng that Yuan Shu had not made a large-scale attack on the city." Niu Fu thought for a moment and answered.
"I can't control so much now. If I pass on the order, I will start to move the capital of Chang'an today. I will take away every commoner in Luoyang City, and I will never leave it to the Yuan brothers." Dong Zhuo said viciously.
So, the Xiliang soldiers rushed into the people's homes and drove them to Chang'an. All the property, food and grass in the family were looted. The Luoyang people, who originally had countless glory of the big man, left their hometown in this way and staggered to the west with their families.
Dong Zhuo's new move also quickly reached the ears of Sun Jian outside Mianchi City.
"General Dong Zhuo is cruel. In this way, the foundation of the Han in Luoyang will be destroyed." Huang Gai said angrily.
"Hum, if Dong Zhuo is not so greedy, I really dare not think about Mianchi, but since Dong Zhuo wants to take the whole Luoyang away, it also brings us an opportunity." Sun Jian said with shrinking eyebrows.
"Does the general mean to attack Mianchi?" Huang Gai asked excitedly.
"In the past, I didn't dare to attack Mianchi easily. I felt that Dong Zhuo's power was huge and our army was invincible. But now Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses not only have a lot of weight, but also a large number of people. In this way, there must be not many soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo can use to participate in the war, which gives us the opportunity to take advantage of it." Sun Jian said with a smile.
"The general is right. If Dong Zhuo doesn't want to be dragged down by our army, he will leave some heavy things behind." Huang Gai was a little excited at the thought of sharing the hundreds of years of accumulation from Dong Zhuo.
So Sun Jian quietly came to the outside of Mianchi City with his soldiers and horses.
"Listen to the people on the tower. General Niu Fu has an order. The things in the car behind will be stored in the pond for the night today. Open the gate quickly." Outside Mianchi City, a team of people wearing the costumes of Xiliang soldiers dragged more than a dozen carts and shouted to the officers and soldiers at the head of Mianchi City.
