Chapter 1330 During the Battle of Luoyang

Luoyang City.

The glory of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the past 200 years was basically reflected in this majestic imperial capital. Unfortunately, a handful of flowers in Mujing directly burned this glory.

What was left was nothing but ruins.

So many years have passed.

Luoyang is still the same kind of ruins after the fire, but the population is gradually recovering, but compared with the previous imperial capital, there is a difference of [-] miles, even compared to the prosperity of a small county, it is far from enough.

You must know that the ruin of Luoyang City was not only because of Mujing's fire. Dong Zhuo was also involved in it. exposed in the wild.

Without a population, even if this is the former imperial capital, it will be difficult to restore prosperity.

But also because of this reason, in recent years, there have been few wars around Luoyang, and the people have begun to work hard to rebuild their homes.

Unexpectedly, just after a few days of peace and happiness, war once again befalls this city.

In the past, Yuan Shao's Yuan Jun came in, and then Yuan Jun withdrew, and Mu Jun moved in. In fact, many people in Guanzhong agree with Mu Jun. After all, they watched Mu Jun grow up back then, and they didn't have a lot of disgust for Mu Jun. .

But the Mujun came and brought war again.

Cao Jun besieged the city.

The battle in Luoyang City started gradually.

…………

In Luoyang City, many parts of the former imperial palace site were cleaned, and then tents were erected one by one, and a military camp headquarters was erected.

In the spacious tent.

Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, and Huang Shao stood side by side, all eyes fixed on the huge sand table in front of them, on which colorful flags were planted.

In terms of power, the most powerful is Xi Zhicai, then Zhang Liao, and then Huang Shao.

Huang Shao is the chief general of the first army, General Zhonglang.

But Zhang Liao is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

As for Xi Zhicai, as a member of the Zhaoming Pavilion, he has the power to directly mobilize all troops, including the Zhaoming First Army, so his power is naturally the greatest.

But in this battle.

The main general is Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was under the command of Mu Jing, and went north to preside over the occupation. He has the power to command all armies, and even has the right to kill first and then play.

In addition to Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai, Huang Shao and other chief generals, there are also many battalion-level generals below, such as Lei Hu from the Zhanhu Battalion, Pang Xi from the Cavalry Battalion... more than a dozen generals are watching the entire sand table.

"Cao's army is only attacking tentatively today. In two days, I think Cao's army will definitely attack Luoyang!"

Xi Zhicai spoke in a low voice, breaking the silence.

"Two days?"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "I didn't think that there are two days, at most one more day, Cao Jun is not so patient!"

"Xiahouyuan dare?"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes.

"Why don't you dare!" Zhang Liao calmly responded to Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai's ability is very strong, but sometimes, there will be some personality problems. He suddenly understood why Mujing deliberately put himself in the north.

It's not that Mujing doesn't believe in Xi Zhicai.

But Mu Jing already knows Xi Zhicai very well, not only knows Xi Zhicai's ability, but also clearly knows Xi Zhicai's shortcomings.

That's why I let myself go north to act as the chief general and command the army.

To be honest, Xi Zhicai is really not suitable to be the chief general. It is better for him to be a military adviser in peace. His character flaws will make him a target on the battlefield.

"Participate in politics!" Zhang Liao responded with Xi Zhicai's inquiring eyes, and said: "Xia Houyuan himself is a battle-tested general, maybe not as fierce as Xiahou Dun, but he is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He only needs to use temptation. Just understand that our troops are insufficient, if we don’t attack at this time, when to attack, as the saying goes, the opportunity is the most important thing on the battlefield!”

"Is he not afraid that we will ambush him?"

From the standpoint of Xi Zhicai, he believes that it takes at least one or two more days of probing before he can confirm the attack, at least he will not fall into the trap.

"afraid!"

Huang Shao answered Xi Zhicai's words: "All the generals are afraid, but fear is a kind of strength. Even if Xia Houyuan is afraid, he will attack whenever he has the opportunity!"

"Understood!"

Xi Zhicai was silent for a while, and suddenly understood, perhaps the gap between the general and the military adviser lies here, a little bit of your decisiveness can influence the direction of the entire war.

"Our lack of troops is an irreparable shortcoming!"

Zhang Liao's eyes were gloomy.

At present, there are only two battle battalions in the city, and the strength of the troops is small. If there is a real fight, I don't know how much it will suffer.

Although five combat battalions were mobilized.

Zhang Liao hurried back to Luoyang alone, and the remaining three main battle battalions were still on their way. It would take at least a few days before they could enter Luoyang.

Therefore, in Luoyang City, there are only two battle battalions, Zhanhu and Cavalry.

The two combat battalions, combined, are less than [-] troops.

Insufficient troops will expose many, many shortcomings. If the enemy breaks through, they will definitely be overwhelmed and Luo Yang will be broken.

"Now I am Zhaoming's First Army. One battalion of the main force is at Hangu Pass, and the third battalion main force is at Tongguan. If necessary, I can mobilize the main force to go north!"

Huang Shao gritted his teeth, and after a while, he said, "This is the only situation that can make up for our lack of troops!"

"No!"

Xi Zhicai objected: "This time is different from the last time. Last time we could rely on the influence of our troops to scare Xia Houyuan away, but this time, Xiahouyuan's Cao army will definitely not withdraw. If we fight to the death, we will suffer. It even caused Zhaoming's First Army to be unable to complete the rectification of the army from the Privy Council's military order within the stipulated time!"

"There is another troublesome thing!"

Looking at the undulating terrain on the sand table, Zhang Liao's eyes sank, and then became a little gloomy: "Zhang Boluan will join the Ma family's Xiliang army, with a main force of nearly [-], from Hedong all the way into Henan. , it is probably less than a hundred miles away from the Xiyang Pavilion on the east of Luoyang to our east!"

"Our scouts don't seem to have discovered where their troops are. How did General Wen Yuan know?"

Xi Zhicai gasped when he heard this.

The Xiliang army of the Ma family, the main general is Ma Xiu, who has already taken refuge in Cao Cao, and is willing to fight for Cao Cao.

Zhang Boluan, Zhang Xiu.

Liu Bei, who Zhang Xiu took refuge in, has been growing stronger since he took refuge in Liu Bei for the exam. Most of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Bingzhou were handed over to him.

He is the chief general of Youzhou in Bingzhou, and is also responsible for the task of supporting Guanzhong. He has somewhat high expectations for Luoyang City.

"Although scouts in the army come and go like the wind, the range they can inquire about is not very large. You still need to strengthen your intelligence relationship with Jingwu Division!" Zhang Liao said softly.

He knew that many generals in the army were actually reluctant to interact with Jing Wusi because they were too sensitive and thought Jing Wusi's existence was too dirty.

After all, Jing Wusi, who killed even his own people, was unwilling to get close to many people.

"Jing Wusi?"

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and immediately patted his head, feeling that he was a bit stupid, and he didn't know how to mobilize Jing Wusi's power. In fact, in the final analysis, it was because of the scholar's emotions in his bones that he was still unable to do anything. Jing Wusi, who can see that bright people don't do secret things, but do secret things.

"Is there any other news?"

Huang Shao took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

"That's all the news for now!"

Zhang Liao said: "We not only have to deal with Cao's attack, but also the pressure from the east. Once the two sides join forces and encircle Luoyang, we will have a big problem!"

With their current strength, they have great hope of being able to stop Cao Jun, but it is very difficult to gain a foothold between Cao Jun and Youzhou Army.

"Xi to participate in politics, do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Liao looked at Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai is a quick-witted person. Although he is not good at commanding battles, he is full of tricks and is definitely the top strategist.

"The situation in Luoyang is becoming more and more complicated and treacherous. This is only a part of what is revealed at present. In addition, there are many people who can't see us sitting in Luoyang!"

Xi Zhicai began to analyze: "For example, Yuan Jun from Hebei who led us into Luoyang, now the main force of Yuan Jun is stationed in Chaoge, Hanoi, not far from Luoyang. Once the main force goes south while we are fighting with Cao Jun, we will suffer a lot. !"

"After much deliberation, there are not many ways to break the situation!"

"I can think of two!"

"Listen and see if there is any hope!"

Xi Zhicai paused for a moment, then continued: "First, we once again gave up on Luoyang and sent Luoyang out as a bait. The main force can jump out of Luoyang City and deal with them slowly. Luo Yang can be regained!"

Mo Dao, Asuka, Heavy Armor.

The main force of the three battalions.

Once they join the battle, Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai and others are not afraid of anyone with the strength of their troops.

But now, the most important thing is that it will take at least three or four days for the main force of the reinforcements to arrive at Luoyang City.

But Luoyang City couldn't last long at all.

"No!"

Zhang Liao reacted very quickly, and quickly objected, saying: "Take part in politics. In the past, we could have done this, but we gave up Luoyang. Now that we have Luoyang back again, we have to give up one more time. I'm afraid." In the future, there is no way to stay in Guanzhong!"

Once people's hearts are scattered, no one can rebel and gather together.

Luoyang city is very important to the generals of the Mu army in the hearts of the common people. Back then, Mu Jing was forced to burn down Luoyang, which also caused a lot of bad luck.

"What General Zhang said is true!"

Huang Shao thought for a while, but he thought Zhang Liao was right. He could not get impatient in this battle and had to fight slowly. Now that he finally got this thing back, it would be a bit unbearable to split it up.

"Since this is the case, there is only the second move!"

Xi Zhicai actually expected that they would not use the first method, so he had already prepared the second set of arguments.

"Fight to the death!"

Xi Zhicai spit out two words lightly.

As soon as these two words are uttered, it seems that there are waves of gold and iron horses, and the courage to kill and cut decisively.

"Fight to the death?"

Zhang Liao squinted, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "It's that simple?"

"Move a person to live, move a tree to die!"

Xi Zhicai smiled, and said: "Since we don't want to move, we can only stare at this place like a tree. There is only one battle to the death. Of course, the battle to the death also pays attention to strategy!"

Zhang Liao pondered for a long time, looked at Xi Zhicai's face, looked at Huang Shao, looked at Lei Hu and Pang Xi's, and finally his eyes fell on Pang Xi.

"Captain Pang, do you have an idea?"

Zhang Liao's voice was very deep, like the wind and drizzle, and Pang Xi was slightly startled. He reacted quickly, raised his head, and looked at Zhang Liao. He saw Zhang Liao's determination.

Only bite the bullet, stood up, and started to say: "General, just fighting to the death is not enough. The general thinks that if we want to fight, we must fight to the death, then we should not defend!"

"Shouldn't guard?"

His words made everyone present feel a little enlightened.

"Attack?"

Zhang Liao's gaze became hotter and hotter.

Human thinking has blind spots.

They only thought that their own troops were too small, so they could only passively defend, and had no way to further develop, so they had very little contact with this aspect of information.

"attack?"

Huang Shao was also gasped by the direction.

Swish swish! ! !
Pairs of eyes fell on Pang Xi.

After joining the Minghou Mansion for so many years, he has always been conscientious, but rarely shows off.

This time it was unexpected.

"If you want to attack, how do you plan to attack?"

Zhang Liao waved his hand to keep everyone silent, and looked at Pang Xi. In the past, he underestimated Pang Xi too much. Pang Xi didn't show mountains or waters, but he was a top general in terms of experience and ability.

"Night attack!"

Pang Xi thought about it, and whoever called said: "It is imperative for Cao's army to attack the city. We must preemptively attack the camp and directly enter the camp. The momentum will become more and more violent. As long as this battle is agreed, Xia Houyuan will definitely retreat temporarily." , so that we can usher in a chance to breathe!"

"well said!"

Zhang Liao clapped the case and applauded.

He always felt that some emotions were wrong, and the feelings were here, and some couldn't figure it out, but Song Shan reminded him with a word.

"This plan is good!"

Xi Zhicai also had to look at Pang Xi with admiration.

"Lei Hu, Pang Xi!"

Zhang Liao is a decisive person. At this time, since he was about to move, he would not be affected by any thoughts, and he quickly began to mobilize troops.

"exist!"

………………

The night was dark and the wind was cold and bleak.

Outside Luoyang City.

The big camps are connected one after another, the lights are shining, and the sound of the night watchman's footsteps is very neat, back and forth, and the silhouettes of the queues are much deeper.

Xia Houyuan had just arranged for the attack on Luoyang City, and he would attack Luoyang City early tomorrow morning, at least to find out the details of the Mu army.

In Guanzhong, this piece of fat does not belong to Mu Jun, nor will Mu Jun be allowed to swallow it in one gulp.

"General, the military report from Yanjin!"

At this time, the guard called out in a low voice.

"Send it in!"

Xia Houyuan didn't feel sleepy at first, and he couldn't talk about recharging his energy. At his level, he could fight for more than four or five days without sleep for a day or two.

In the battle report, there is not much information, but it is Cao Cao's instructions that make him step up the pressure on Chaoge.

But if you want to move Chaoge, you must win Luo Yang.
