Xiliang Iron Cavalry

() The princes in the hall heard the words and restrained Cao's comparison, "Cao's thinking of this, how could Jia Rong, who is more sophisticated than a thief, not think of this Yidian.

Seeing that the princes in the palace were discussing a lot, and no one dared to speak up to fight, Cao Cao left the palace with a sigh, and after bidding farewell to Yuan Shao, he led his troops back.

Yuan Shaoyu wanted to stop Cao Cao, but was persuaded by Yuan Pang on the side. No one would be in a good mood after being defeated. If he tried to persuade Cao Cao at this time, he might vent Cao Cao's anger on Yuan Shao, bijing Yuan Shao He is the nominal leader of the coalition forces.

After Cao Cao returned to the camp, he sighed and said: "The Xiliang army is really full of talents. After one Dong Zhuo fell, another Jia Rong stood up. As expected, the Xiliang army must be the biggest enemy of all the princes. Pity this group of soldiers." It's ridiculous that people are still cheating in the palace."

Cao Ren said: "My lord, why do you need others to destroy Ziji's prestige? Forgive Jia Rong, but he is only a small martial artist, and he won a few battles with good luck."

Cao Cao scolded: "Don't be rude, don't fight Jia Rong, you'll never know how terrible he is." Rong is gradually going away, and the theory of disobedience in the mouths of Confucian scholars is not the philosophy that Jia Rong has always pursued. Jincheng's management and open-mindedness towards foreigners can make the world look sideways.

"Let all the generals prepare to retreat!" Cao Cao restrained his thoughts and sighed.

Cao Ren clasped his fists and promised, although he did not intend to retreat after the victory of the coalition forces.

Jia Rong led the Xiliang army slowly westward all the way, and when they reached the Hangu Pass, a group of generals led by Xu Shu had long since come to greet them.

After condolences to Xu Shu and the generals guarding the pass, Li Shun and [-] infantry were left to guard Hangu Pass, and Jia Rong and his party left for Chang'an.

Looking at the devastated Chang'an Palace, Jia Rong couldn't help feeling that the fire of the White-Browed Army destroyed the hard work of many generations of emperors.

The Xiliang army will not make big moves in a short period of time. Before the civil strife among the Kanto princes, they should not be made aware of Ziji's ambitions. It means that the capital of the Han Dynasty has become Chang'an, not Luoyang, and what the princes occupy is just an old city abandoned by the royal family.

"Report, lord, Lord Mu Liu of Yanzhou and Lord Qiao are fighting." A soldier covered in blood appeared in front of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was shocked, and ordered a thousand troops to reconcile. As the leader of the coalition, he naturally didn't want his troops to make trouble.

When Yuan Shao led his army to the Qiaomao army, the battle was almost over, the ground was in chaos, black smoke was still rising from several places, many tents were set ablaze, and groups of soldiers were carrying food and grass.

"Leader, Master Qiaoqiao has been killed."

Yuan Shao's face turned livid, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai is a true Han family clan, with great prestige in the court and the opposition, there are about 3 soldiers and horses under his command, while Qiao Mao has only a few thousand under his command .

With such a bad start, I am afraid that the coalition forces will be in chaos in a short period of time, and the words "collapse without fighting" will appear in Yuan Shao's mind.

Seeing groups of soldiers escorting food and supplies to Liu Dai's army, Yuan Shao couldn't help being furious: "Order the princes to go to the palace to discuss matters."

To put it bluntly, the palace is just one empty house after another. Choosing to discuss military affairs here can give Yuan Shao a kind of floating ganjiao. The entire court hall is mine, but Yuan Shao dare not touch the gold-encrusted throne at the top. .

"Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai attacked Qiao Taishou's army for no reason, and now Qiao Mao died. I hope Master Liu can explain to everyone present." Yuan Shao asked all the princes while standing on the Weizhi where the general was facing.

"Qiaomao is dead?" Many princes heard the news and whispered among themselves, looking at the feuding princes in the past, their eyes were dissatisfied with vigilance. There were things Shime didn't dare to do, but when he looked back at the two or three generals standing alone behind him, his hairs immediately stood on end.

Liu Dai glanced at the princes in the palace, and snorted coldly: "Our army is short of food, and we borrowed food from Qiao Mao's army. Qiao Mao not only refused to borrow food, but also humiliated each other. Dai was so angry that he swung his army to kill Mao's army." In terms of identity, He is a clan member of the Han family, whoever the princes in front of him dare to touch him, even Yuan Shao can't act rashly.

"Borrow food from Qiao Mao's army? Insult?" These are just Liu Dai's excuses. Anyway, Qiao Mao will not stand up and argue.

barge.

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Dai with gloomy eyes, and never gave orders for punishment. According to the previous agreement, he attacked his allies without authorization, but he would suffer the most severe punishment, but Yuan Shao did not dare to order. With a certain prestige, this order means that Yuan Shao and the members of the royal family are going to confront each other, and Liu Dai is not the only family member of the Han family in the world.

After returning to the barracks, the princes from all walks of life stepped up their guards one after another. Soldiers patrolling in the army came and went. When the princes went out, there were often hundreds of soldiers guarding them.

The tense situation in Luoyang started because Liu Dai led the army to attack Qiaomao. The princes from all walks of life who usually look down on each other began to have some small frictions. Since Yuan Shao was willing to be a deaf and dumb, many princes even condoned their subordinates Looting the common people and merchants in the city.

After a bad start, a few vassals began to ask Yuan Shao to resign and leave. Luoyang City has meiyou emperor meiyou hundred officials, which is different from an empty city meiyoushime. Yuan Shao rewarded various vassals, but bijing was not appointed by the emperor himself and lacked authority. xing.

"Leader, there has been news of a rebellion in Changsha recently, and I want to lead the army back." Sun Jian lowered his posture.

Since the loss of soldiers outside Hulao Pass and the loss of generals, Sun Jian's influence in the princes' army has become even lower, and this Jiangdong tiger has gradually faded out of the princes' vision.

"I already know about this matter." Yuan Shao replied without thinking, such a thing is not a rare thing in the coalition army.

"Sun Jian, you have an evil intention to hide the imperial jade seal." Yuan Shu accused in front of the princes.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and passing on the jade seal of the country is of great significance. Of course, the jade seal is usually in the hands of the emperor. It is rumored that whoever gets the jade seal can win the world and become the true son of heaven. The shock to the princes can be imagined.

"Yuan Gonglu should stop talking nonsense. When the Xiliang army retreated, they searched everything inside and outside the palace. The jade seal was naturally taken away by the Holy Majesty, so how could it stay in the palace?" Sun Jian argued hard, such a shihou However, Sun Jian would never admit whether the Chuanguo Yuxi was on Ziji's body or not.

The discord between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian was not a secret among the coalition forces. Many princes thought that this was Yuan Shu taking the opportunity to suppress Sun Jian, and did not really take the matter of Yuxi to heart.

Although Sun Jian lost his troops and generals in the battle of Hulao, the background is still there, and there are still princes who are willing to make friends.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "You salvaged the jade seal from the well in the palace, and there are many soldiers beside you."

Sun Jian's complexion changed slightly, and he retorted: "In front of all the generals, Sun Jian swears that if I really hide the jade seal privately, I will shoot random arrows through my heart and die."

The ancients took their oaths seriously, and Sun Jian said it very solemnly. Except for Yuan Shu, all the princes believed that Yuan Shu was deliberately making things difficult for Sun Jian, and they all dissuaded him.

Yuan Shu pointed at Sun Jian's nose and scolded the traitors.

With a cold snort, Sun Jian left the palace, gathered his troops and horses, and headed for Changsha overnight.

After leaving Luoyang, Sun Jian thought to himself that he was lucky.

After leaving Sun Jian, Liu Dai and others, Luoyang has calmed down from the initial hustle and bustle. Yuan Shao, the nominal leader, felt that staying in Luoyang was meaningless, so he led the soldiers to leave Luoyang and go to Hanoi County. When it comes to truth, Yuan Shao This alliance leader is the most pitiful one. When he raised his troops, he was just the prefect of Bohai, with a low official position.

Liu Biao, shepherd of Jingzhou, is an upright clan member of the Han Dynasty. When the [-]th princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao was busy rectifying Jingzhou, so he joined in. After receiving the letter from Yuan Shu, he immediately ordered Kuaiyue and Cai Mao to lead [-] troops to intercept Sun Jian , Yuxi is related to the fate of the great man, so it should not be underestimated.

Sun Jian patted his horse and walked out of the battle formation. Pointing at Kuai Yue with his whip, he asked, "Why did Kuai Yidu lead his troops to block our army's way?"

Kuai Yue sneered and said, "As a Han minister, you have hidden the jade seal privately. This is a heinous crime. You should hand over the jade seal and let you have a way out." The news completely offended the tiger.

Sun Jian said angrily, "Zhu Zi, stop talking nonsense."

A general from Sun Jian's army flashed out, slapped his horse and rushed out, dancing with a long spear like a tiger, it was Huang Gai.

Cai Mao rode his horse and came with guns. Both of them used long guns, and the shadows of the guns intertwined during the battle, which made people dazzled.

Huang Gai saw the right time and stabbed Cai Mao in the arm with a spear. The spear in Cai Mao's hand fell to the ground.

No matter how brave Sun Jian is, he only owns one county, while Liu Biao is a shepherd in Jingzhou, with [-] men in armor, ruling the fertile fields for thousands of miles, and the soldiers are strong and the people are attached.

Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and led his troops to fight for a while, opened the gap in Kuaiyue's army, and led the troops away.

There was only the sound of drums in the valley. It turned out that it was Liu Biao who led the army and surrounded Sun Jian with Kuai Yue.

Sun Jian pointed at Liu Biao with his saber and said, "You and I are from neighboring counties, why should you trust a letter from Yuan Shu? If you let me go today, he will reward you handsomely."

Liu Biao scolded angrily: "The jade seal is related to the fate of the great man. If you hand over the jade seal, I will definitely spare your life. If not, don't blame our army for being ruthless." It is about the jade seal, and Liu Biao dare not slack off in the slightest. It is better to kill the wrong than to let it go.
