Chapter 382
Luoyang.

When Li Xiang got the news that Dong Zhuo sent an army eastward, he still did what he had to do, as if he wasn't worried about it.

In fact, Li Xiang did not have too many worries.When all the princes withdrew from Luoyang one after another, Li Xiang had already dispatched troops from Bingzhou and Hanoi.

At that time, when the 2 troops in Bingzhou and the [-] troops in Hanoi arrive, plus the remaining [-] cavalry left by Li Xiang after the casualties in the Battle of Dong, relying on the defense of the fortified city, plus With famous generals like Bai Qi and Yue Fei around, Dong Zhuo would definitely not be able to threaten him.

After all, Dong Zhuo suffered quite a lot in the battle against Dong.Except for the troops guarding Xiliang and guarding Chang'an, it would be great if the others could send [-] people to attack him.

Moreover, although Li Xiang said that he had successfully captured Luoyang and even the entire Henan Yin, there were still many messy things waiting to be resolved.

First of all, because of Dong Zhuo, Luoyang is now almost an empty city, which has caused the population of Henan Yin to almost drop to the lowest level. Migrating the population here and re-developing people's livelihood is the top priority at the moment.

Even, in order to get things in Luoyang on the right track, Li Xiang transferred Wang Meng and Xun Yu, two political figures from Bingzhou.

Besides these, Li Xiang has other problems to solve.

The focus of occupying Luoyang is not only Luoyang itself, but also the eight Luoyang passes around Luoyang.Only with Luoyang Baguan in hand can we advance, attack, retreat and defend.If only Luoyang is occupied, but there are no Luoyang Eight Passes, then the enemy can attack at any time.

Now, among the eight passes in Luoyang, Li Xiang has already mastered seven passes while the other princes were not paying attention during the campaign for Dong, and there is still one pass in Hangu that is no longer in Li Xiang's hands.

Among them, Xuanyuanguan was in charge of Yuan Shu when the princes divided their troops during the campaign against Dong.After moving the capital to Chang'an, this checkpoint naturally fell into Yuan Shu's hands.

However, now Yuan Shu only has one Runan County, and he can't even control Yuzhouli completely, let alone meddle in Sili.Therefore, after paying some price, Xuanyuan Pass fell into Li Xiang's hands.

In fact, it is not a big price, it is only 5000 war horses. Although it is very precious to other princes, it is the same to Li Xiang.After seizing the land of Hetao, Li Xiang has no shortage of things like war horses.

Needless to say, Hangu Pass is a guarantee for Dong Zhuo to live in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo will never let it go lightly.But currently, for Hangu Pass, Li Xiang already has his own plan, as long as Dong Zhuo is beaten back, he can start to implement it.

Even if it fails, Li Xiang will not be able to get Hangu Pass smoothly, but it will be enough to cause a turmoil inside Dong Zhuo.

……

After several days, reinforcements from Bingzhou and Hanoi finally arrived, and it was time for Li Xiang to face Dong Zhuo's army.

"Qin Qiong and Yuchi respectfully listen to the order!"

"The end is here."

"With Qin Qiong as the leader and Yu Chigong as the deputy, lead [-] troops to defend Luoyang!" Li Xiang ordered.

When Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong heard this, their excitement immediately plummeted. They thought they were going to fight, but instead they started guarding the house.However, since Li Xiang had given orders, the two of them could only obey them.

"The last general takes orders."

"The rest of the generals will follow this general and lead [-] troops to meet Dong Zhuo's army for a while!"

"promise!"

Except for the [-] troops guarding Luoyang and the [-] Dawan guarding other key points, the remaining [-] Bingzhou troops marched in the direction of Hangu Pass.

Moreover, this time it wasn't just Li Xiang's family facing Dong Zhuo alone, sending [-] troops was enough.

After Wang Meng's arrival, after Wang Meng's reminder, Li Xiang realized that Dong Zhuo's sending troops out of Hangu threatened not only Li Xiang's family.Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hongnong and Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hedong, next to Luoyang, could not escape either.

These two people didn't know that Dong Zhuodong's departure from Hangu Pass was only for the purpose of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.When the news of Dong Zhuo's merger came, the two of them were taken aback. They thought Dong Zhuo was crazy.

Therefore, after Li Xiang sent counselors to persuade them, the two had no choice but to fight against Dong Zhuo together with Li Xiang.

As for Li Xiang, although he looked down on the strength of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang, with the two of them joining, the casualties of these soldiers under his command could be reduced.On the other hand, using Dong Zhuo to consume the strength of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang will also be beneficial for Li Xiang to conquer these two places later.

How could others be allowed to sleep soundly on the couch, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang's territories were also in Sili, for these two places, Li Xiang was bound to win.It's just that Dong Zhuo has just passed away, and he still has to face Dong Zhuo's threat for the time being, otherwise, Li Xiang would have already planned to start cleaning up these two people.

"Brother Zhisheng, Brother Gongjie, I haven't seen you for only a month, I really miss you little brother!" As soon as they met, Li Xiang greeted the two big boys cordially.

Hearing Li Xiang's voice, the faces of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang turned dark.

After this period of inquiring, they already knew that Dong Zhuo, the hungry wolf, was attracted by the Bingzhou Army's attack on Liangzhou.But they couldn't help it. They all thought that Dong Zhuo was serious. They couldn't wait until Dong Zhuo's army arrived and surrendered directly. Then, how could they have any face?

What's more, with the combination of the three princes, even if they can't defeat Dong Zhuo, they are more than enough to protect themselves.

"Brother Zifeng, be polite!" Although Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang were dying in the face of Li Xiang, a troublemaker, they couldn't lose their etiquette on the surface.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhisheng, Brother Gongjie, this time Thief Dong was overthinking his own strength. He had just fled to Chang'an in a hurry, and he wanted to go east again. He really didn't know what to do at the time." Li Xiang looked at Wang Kuang and Wang Kuang, who had black lines on their faces. Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang laughed together.

"Brother Zifeng is right. In this battle, there will be brother Zifeng, and our soldiers will be handed over to brother Zifeng!" The two said with a hint of helplessness.

Although Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang hated Li Xiang very much now, with Dong Zhuo hanging over their heads, they could only hand over their soldiers to Li Xiang for the time being.

They also had to admit that they were still far from being able to compare with Li Xiang in this aspect of commanding troops.This time, in order to protect himself from Dong Zhuo's soldiers, there are some things that he can only accept even if he doesn't want to.
