Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 920 The Bloody Luoyang Again
Chapter 918: Bloody Luoyang Again
The Kwantung Allied Forces had already lost 21 troops. After paying such a huge price, they only captured four major passes, not even the old capital Luoyang.

And if you want to attack Chang'an and rescue the Han Emperor, you must also break through Luoyang, Yewang, Yiyang and other strong cities, and you must also break through Hangu Pass, the eternal pass, before you can enter Guanzhong and enter Chang'an.

But according to this trend of casualties, even if all the coalition forces are wiped out, they may not be able to attack Hangu Pass, let alone Chang'an City.

From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to take Sizhou from Dong Zhuo, and the price is simply unbearable for Qin Hao.

If it was only relying on the strength of the Qin and Jin armies, even if Sizhou could be captured, Qin Hao would definitely suffer a severe injury, and in the end would add wedding dresses to others in vain.

For Qin Hao, it is the least expensive way to form a coalition of princes and use the power of all the princes to seize Sizhou.

After Yang Su's 33 troops withdrew, Luoyang's troops also reached [-], but it was obviously unrealistic to try to counter the [-] coalition forces based on this.

So immediately after, Li Shimin ordered another [-] troops to be transferred back from Mengjin Pass.

After the Hulao was breached, although Yique Pass, the southern gate, lost its value of continuing to defend, Meng Jin, the northern gate, still had a heavy responsibility.

The other princes do not border on the Liang army, even if Sizhou is captured, it is still an enclave, and it is impossible to occupy it for a long time.

The princes sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo only for righteousness and fame, but Qin's father and son were different.

Qin Wenwen and Qin Hao, one is in the north and the other is in the south. Once Sizhou is captured, they can connect Bingzhou and Jingbei, and they also came here specifically to seize Sizhou.

Mengjin pass can stop the threat from Qinwen in the north, but once Mengjin pass is lost, Qinwen can continuously send troops to the south, which will not help the Liang army to add fuel to the fire, so Li Shimin did not send Yang Lin The [-] troops in the army were all transferred back.

However, because of the shortage of troops in Luoyang, Li Shimin had to withdraw most of Mengjin's troops, but he also kept Yang Lin, a general.

If the Jin army came to attack, although Meng Jin's 2 troops were not many, they could play a role of [-] in Yang Lin's hands, which was enough for Li Shimin to send reinforcements for a month.

Although Li Shimin has no reinforcements to send for the time being, he has already asked Dong Zhuo for reinforcements, and I believe he will get a response soon.

Now there are only 13 troops left in the entire Sizhou. Li Shimin placed 12 in Mengjin, and [-] in Luoyang, obviously planning to defend Luoyang to the death.

As the former capital of the great Han, Luoyang is naturally one of the strongest cities in the world....

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because Xiang Yu broke Mengjin and forced the court to abandon Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, Qin Wen had to abandon Hulao Pass and defend Luoyang.

Qin Wen originally wanted to rely on Luoyang to consume the troops of the Yellow Turban, but because Zhu Yuanzhang offered a plan to attack the cities of Sizhou, Luoyang was in an uncomfortable situation as an isolated city, and the court made a stupid decision to abandon Luoyang.

Although Qin Wen was unwilling to give up the fortified city of Luoyang, it was difficult to disobey the imperial decree, but Yang Ye's father, Yang Gun, would rather die than evacuate at all times. Instead, he led [-] lone troops to guard the old capital of Luoyang.

Yang Dagon's 70-strong army blocked Zhang Jiao's [-]-strong army for a full ten days of fierce attack, which shows how strong Luoyang is.

Now there are still 33 coalition forces. It is not impossible for Li Shimin to defend Luoyang with an army of 12.

Facing nearly three times as many enemies and relying on a fortified city, it is actually not difficult to defend from the perspective of low offensive and defensive levels.

But you must know that guarding the city is not guarding the gate.

There are no residents in the checkpoint, and in addition to the common people, there are families in the city, and the families have their own soldiers, and these are external forces that are difficult for the guard to control, which also adds some surprises to the guard.

Of course, most aristocratic families will not easily participate in the battle of princes, because failure means the extinction of the clan.

This price is too high. If there is no absolute certainty, the family will never dare to participate in the struggle of the princes.

In order to carry out the New Deal, Dong Zhuo violated the interests of the family, so he was disgusted and spurned by the family in the world. The reason why Dong Zhuo became famous was that the family played the biggest role in it.

Dong Zhuo's methods can be described as cruel when dealing with rebels against his own family. At present, countless people from the family have been massacred in Guanzhong.

It was precisely by virtue of this bloody method of using violence to control violence that Dong Zhuo completely deterred all the families under his command. Even if the 36 princes joined forces to crusade, the territory under his command was still not in chaos.

No matter how much the aristocratic family loathes and spurns Dong Zhuo, they still dare not make the slightest change, at least on the surface, they dare not.

However, in the confrontation with the Kwantung Allied Forces, if Dong Zhuo was defeated, the first person to make trouble would be the aristocratic family in his territory.

Naturally, the Luoyang family was also dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo and him. In the past, Dong Zhuo was so powerful that the Luoyang family did not dare to resist. Now that the Kwantung coalition forces are leading the Luoyang city, what are you afraid of?

The family of the world has been relocated three times so far. The first time was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the second time was the Han-Ming War, and the third time was the Ming Dynasty War.

No matter which migration wave, the destination of the migration of the aristocratic family is the line from Luoyang to Guanzhong.

During the second wave of migration, most of the local families in Luoyang had moved to Guanzhong, and the families that had not moved to Chang'an basically died under the purge of the Yellow Turbans.

Therefore, there are basically only two families in Luoyang City:

One is that he was reluctant to part with his ancestral business, or could not compete with other families, so he turned back from Guanzhong and resettled in Luoyang;

The second is to migrate from the Central Plains to settle down in order to avoid the war in the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty.

No matter which one it is, after several years of cultivation, the strength of the aristocratic family has been restored to a certain extent, and Luoyang Chang'an, where the aristocratic family is concentrated, is no exception.

If the aristocratic families are divided by region and a list is made according to the strength of their strength, the strength of the Luoyang aristocratic family is definitely second only to the region of the Chang'an aristocratic family.

If this force can be concentrated, it will be a dangerous force capable of shaking Dong Zhuo's rule. Qin Nongyu, who was sent to Luoyang by Qin Hao, wants to gather this force so that he can help Qin Hao capture Luoyang. Fortress.

When Qin Hao was blocked from Hulao Pass, no matter how intimidating Nongyu was, many families still dared not participate, but when Qin Hao led the army to Luoyang, these families all came to him by coincidence.

Of course, it's not that Qin Hao is liked by the family, but that Dong Zhuo is really hated by the family. Almost all the families hate him to the bone.
