Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

But it was said that Gao Lan and Xu You were leading five thousand elites on a rapid march towards Luoyang City, and they could even see the top of the city from a distance.

"Luoyang, Beijing, Gao is finally here." Gao Lan said excitedly, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Ziyuan's (Xu You) joke, this is Gao's first time in the capital. After the Yuan family came to power, you and I must be too. Meritorious ministers should enjoy the wealth of this capital."

Xu You didn't say anything, just rode forward on his horse, his eyes fixed on the city in the distance.

"Why are you silent, sir?" Gao Lan asked curiously, "Actually, this mission is extremely easy for you and me. Yuan Benchu ​​has already cooperated with the Yuan family in the city to seize the city. You and I just need to lead the troops in to stabilize the situation. ”

"I hope the capture of the city goes smoothly." Xu You sighed.

Xu You was also a bold man. In history, he once planned a rebellion with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, to overthrow the rule of Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and even tried to win over Cao Cao, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, he failed.

Now that he was following the Yuan family's rebellion, he felt both nervous and excited. He was finally going to personally participate in the ruin of this decadent dynasty.

What will happen after the Yuan family's rebellion is successful? He can't think about that now. He only thinks about overthrowing the rule of the imperial court.

But he didn't know that the current emperor was no longer the spiritual emperor, but had been completely replaced by a substitute.

"Will there be any surprises here?" Gao Lan asked puzzledly, "With the strength of the Yuan family and Yuan Situ's plan, plus the fact that the emperor is not in the court now, wars are raging around the capital, and the garrison in the capital is weak, no matter what There is no chance of failure in any way.”

"On the battlefield, you should never be careless." Xu You said, raising his finger to the city that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Look, why are there neither sergeants nor flags on the city?"

"This..." Gao Lan couldn't explain the reason, but judging from his own experience, it is impossible for a country's capital to be so quiet. "Perhaps the Yuan family wants to keep a low profile and doesn't want to be too ostentatious for the time being."

"On the contrary." Xu You said, "The more you want to keep a low profile, the more normal the arrangement must be. And this abnormal behavior now only means that there may be an accident in the Yuan family's capture of the city."

"Ah? It can't be such a coincidence," Gao Lan said dubiously, "Then what should we do?"

"Be prepared to retreat at any time. Once you find something is wrong, don't dwell on it or wonder why. Just retreat immediately!" Xu You said solemnly.

He has experienced rebellion once, so he is well aware of the dangers involved, and when he sees something is not going well, he rubs the soles of his feet with oil.

Soon the army arrived at the city. The city gates were closed, the suspension bridge was high, and there was still no one on top of the city.

Gao Lan and Xu You looked at each other, and both of them felt something was wrong.

"Send someone to call the door!" Xu You said in a deep voice.

Gao Lan immediately sent a soldier forward to the moat and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, we are the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy."

Suddenly a gong sounded on the city wall, followed by flags and flags, and a dense crowd of sergeants stood behind the parapet. The leading young general was looking down sternly, and it was Gao Shun, the captain of the camp.

brush!brush!brush!
An archer appeared at the crenel, his arrows already strung pointing directly at the men and horses below the city.

Xu You was surprised. There were no special markings on the armor of these sergeants. They were obviously not the troops brought by Yuan Shao from Hangu Pass, and he did not recognize the general at the head of the city.

"Where is this captain?" Gao Lan shouted unwillingly.

"You'll see him soon!" Gao Shun's voice was cold, then he waved his hand and said, "Let go!"

Suddenly, arrows rained down from the top of the city. The soldiers in front suddenly fell into pieces like cutting leeks.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Xu You shouted loudly.

"Quickly retreat!" Gao Lan also roared angrily.

There was a loud golden sound in Yuan's army, and the troops collapsed downwards like a tide.

Although most people did not know what the real purpose of this military operation was, everyone now knew that the operation failed, and they rushed back.

"The Yuan family is finished!" Gao Lan shouted loudly as he galloped his horse, "Mr. Ziyuan, what should we do?"

"Escape from here first and then make plans." Xu You said breathlessly.

They did not know that the Yuan family was being beheaded collectively, and they did not want to think about what would happen to the Yuan family after their rebellion failed. They just wanted to escape from Luoyang City and find a safe place to stay.

Gao Lan looked back at the capital city that he had dreamed of entering. It seemed that this time it would be difficult to do so. He didn't know when he would have to wait until he came back next time.

They had just escaped about five miles along the road when they heard the sound of a gong and a group of men and horses came out from the front on the right. They were not many in number, about 1,500, but they were all vigorous and vigorous.

In particular, the leading general, carrying a large sword in his hand, rushed forward with excitement on his back and a strong back, shouting, it was Xu Chu.

Xu You was surprised at first, but when he saw that the other party only had a few people, he felt relieved and said loudly: "They are few, so rush over!"

"Rush over, I'll hold off for a while!" Gao Lan said, raising his gun and facing Xu Chu. Yuan Jun had no organized formation at this moment, and everyone just wanted to escape in a swarm.

At this time, a drum sound was heard in the front left, and more than a thousand people were killed. It was Huang Zhong and Guo Jia who arrived with their troops. They blocked the way and rushed forward.

The defeated army was immediately rushed to pieces, covering the mountains and fields.

Just as the house was leaking and it rained continuously, behind Yuan Jun, the drums and horns were also beating. Gao Shun led his troops to fight out of the city. Three groups of troops blocked Yuan Jun in the middle.

"General Gao Lan, retreat quickly!" When Xu You saw that the situation was over, he shouted hurriedly. Regardless of whether Gao Lan could hear him or not, he leaned on his horse and rushed towards the empty space where there were few people.

After all, there were only a few officers and soldiers, so it was not possible to encircle them. There were quite a few gaps, but these gaps were often where the defeated troops concentrated their escape, and would soon become the pursuit targets of the officers and soldiers.

Under the protection of several soldiers, Xu You rushed forward. When there was a crowd of Yuan troops in front of him, he immediately slashed them with his sword.

In this case, life is more important than anything else.

However, after Gao Langgang fought with Xu Chu for two rounds, he felt that he was no match for the general in front of him.

Hearing Xu You's shout again, he hurriedly fired a false shot, turned his horse and fled.

Seeing that his martial arts skills were sparse, Xu Chu paid no attention to him and just led his sergeants to harvest and kill the defeated army.

Gao Lan looked up and saw that the soldiers and horses under his command were like headless flies, scurrying around, being chased and killed by the officers and soldiers like sheep. He knew that if this continued, most of them would probably die, and they might not be able to. Can escape.

"Gao Lan is here, everyone is gathering around me! Gao Lan is here, everyone is gathering around me!"

Gao Lan shouted loudly as he rushed out, and several soldiers took the lead to follow him. The other defeated troops who could not find a clue immediately seemed to have a backbone in their hearts, and they all gathered around Gao Lan.

"Du Chengben will kill you! Kill!" Gao Lan pointed his big gun forward and shouted loudly, leading Yuan Jun to charge forward, followed by five or six hundred people.

Amidst the shouts of killing, Gao Lan vaguely seemed to hear the sound of a bowstring. He raised his head and looked to the side, only to see a sharp arrow coming towards him. The sharp arrow pierced the air and made a sharp whistle, which was terrifying.

It's too late to hide anymore.

puff! An arrow to the throat.

Gao Lan covered his neck and saw a military general a few feet away with a look of disdain on his face, gently inserting his long bow back into the hanging bag.

Gao Lan's mind went blank, his body tilted, and he fell off his horse with a plop.

The last memory in my mind was that when I leaned over, I seemed to see the capital in the distance again, and I would never have the chance to enjoy the wealth there again in this life.

Huang Zhong put away his golden back bow and sneered: "Stupid!"

Then he pointed his sword forward and commanded his army to kill.

Guo Jia stood on a mound and looked down at the battlefield. Under the combined attack of the three armies of Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, the battle was no longer suspenseful. He has already begun to plan where His Majesty should exert his efforts next.

The Yuan family forces surrounding Luoyang in Kyoto have been destroyed, and only Yuan Shu is still alive in Yangzhou. However, judging from his performance in assisting Jingzhou, it is difficult to achieve great results. After Xi Zhi pacified Jingzhou, he could turn around and attack Yuan Shu.

The Yanzhou rebellion in the east was slowly calming down after Gongsun Zan led his troops into Yanzhou. Bao Xin was just entangled with some remnants of the Yellow Turbans and Taishan bandits, and was vulnerable to the battle-hardened frontier troops.

His Majesty has already begun to test Liu Yan in the southwest. How to handle it next depends on his choice, so don’t rush to take action yet.

The most critical thing at present is the war in Hedong.

Hedong is close to the capital Luoyang, so the war there directly affects the safety of the capital. Currently, Hedong involves a chief minister, a chief minister, and Zhu Jun, the chief minister, is still tied up in Hanoi.

Three of the five major departments of the Han Dynasty were restrained in the Hedong and Hanoi areas, which seriously affected the normal development of government affairs. Therefore, if the world is to be stable, the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi must first be completely stabilized.

This is Guo Jia's plan, and this is exactly what happened. Now Hedong and Hanoi are at a critical moment.

Dong Zhuo can be regarded as a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and he struggled all winter long. However, Huangfu Song attacked from south to north from Hongnong, and Gai Xun attacked from east to west from Hanoi. Under the flanking attack, he was already on the verge of collapse.

Dong Zhuo didn't have much foundation in Hedong. The number of soldiers became smaller and smaller as he fought more and more, and he could only rely on looting to maintain his money and food. The once famous Xiliang Flying Bear Army was reduced by him to almost the same number as the Baibo Army, and everyone had no food to eat. Clothes do not hide the body.

Coupled with the low combat quality of the sergeants who were forcibly recruited on the spot, the overall military strength was lowered.

As far as the officers and soldiers were concerned, they had the right time, place and people. Guan Yu and Yang Feng under Huangfu Song and Xu Huang under Gai Xun were all from Hedong and were very familiar with the geography here, so Dong Zhuo retreated steadily. .

Just when the officers and soldiers were in sight of capturing the thieves, something big happened. (End of chapter)
