The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1157 Wu People's Ambition

During this period of time, due to the affairs of Luoyang, Liu Yin couldn't get away at all, but this does not mean that he ignored the defense of Luoyang's periphery. After withdrawing from Luoyang, Liu Yin withdrew his field troops to the north of Luoyang. They were placed in Xiaopingjin Pass, Mengjin Pass and Hulao Pass respectively, and among these three points, Hulao Pass is the most important.

When it comes to Hulao Pass, people who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms can be said to be well-known and well-known.Hulao Pass, also known as Sishui Pass, is located in Sishui Town, more than [-] miles northwest of Xingyang. King Mu of Zhou kept tigers here, so it was named Hulao Pass.Here, the Qin Dynasty established the pass, the Han Dynasty established the county, and all dynasties of all dynasties took Hulao Pass as an important pass and defended it.Hulaoguan is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and ridges are criss-crossed, forming a natural danger.There is a situation where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. It has become a battleground for military strategists of all dynasties.

The reason why Hulaoguan is famous is because there was a big drama of "Three Greats Fighting Lu Bu" here, but those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that this is just a fiction made by Luo Guanzhong. Although Lu Bu once guarded Hulao Guan, but Liu Bei has never participated in any battle against Dong, so naturally there is no such thing as the Three Kingdoms War against Lu Bu.

But all the people didn’t seem to disagree because this is a fictional history. On the contrary, they were keen to chase after this legend, talked about it, and passed it on for thousands of years. , as everyone knows.

In fact, this legend is fictitious, but Hulaoguan Xiongguan is not blown out. There was a fierce battle here, that is, the battle of Chenggao between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought in Xingyang and fought for the mouth of Chenggao. They fought seventy times and fought forty. At first, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu formed a confrontation in Xingyang. Liu Bang was in a weak position and was trapped in Xingyang City. General Ji Xin had to pretend to be himself and pretended to surrender, while he fled into Chenggao City, and crossed Hebei from Chenggao to practice martial arts.After seizing Han Xin's military power, he crossed the river to capture Chenggao, and used the method of aggressive generals to provoke Xiang Yu's general Cao Jiu to fight out of the city, thus capturing Chenggao City, and has been occupying Chenggao City to fight with Xiang Yu ever since.Cheng Gao's gains and losses became a turning point in the Chu-Han War, and Liu Bang finally forced Xiang Yu Wujiang to commit suicide.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the feudal lords challenged Dong and garrisoned Suanzao, Hulao Pass became an important pass for Dong Zhuo to reject the eighteen princes. Cao Cao wanted to attack Hulao Pass, but was defeated by Xu Rong in Bianshui, Xingyang.Although the role of Hulao Pass is not as exaggerated as in Romance, it has always been an insurmountable barrier in front of Dong Lianjun. It was not until Sun Jian broke through from the south road and occupied Luoyang that Hulao Pass lost its defensive value.

This time when the Han army entered Luoyang, Hulao Pass served as a barrier outside Luoyang. Liu Yin naturally attached great importance to it. The deputy governor of the Chinese Army Corps and former general Huang Chongqin led the three armies of Yong'an, Wudang and Yang'an to station here. Prevent the remnant Jin forces in Kanto from counterattacking Luoyang.

The terrain of Hulao Pass is dangerous, but from Hulao Pass to the east, it is a flat plain. After the Wu army's four-way troops gathered in Chen County, they rushed westward and pointed directly at Hulao Pass.

Lu Kang attached great importance to the battle of Luoyang this time, and believed that only by taking advantage of the opportunity of the domestic turmoil in Shu could the Wu army have a chance of winning. doubled.

With the full support of the Three Kings of Kanto this time, Lu Kang is even more confident. Although there is a deep sense of vigilance and suspicion between Wu Guo and the Three Kings of Kanto, their interests are not important in fighting Shu. They are unanimous. We are all smart people who understand the truth. When the Shu Kingdom occupies Luoyang and the army is overwhelming, if they don't unite and fight against the enemy, they will only end up being defeated by the Shu army one by one.

Therefore, Lu Kang and the three Kwantung kings spared no effort in sending troops this time. Lu Kang led more than [-] troops in Yiyang. Do your best, do your best.

The three kings of Kanto sent 5 troops each. Although [-] is not many, it is the largest mobile force that the three places can mobilize except for the garrison. Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Malone all believed that the battle of Luoyang would be a big one. It's their last chance. If they succeed, they can conquer Luoyang and drive the Shu army out of the area south of the Yellow River.If it fails, then everything will fall apart and completely collapse.

Under the pressure of victory means survival and defeat means death, the three kings of Kanto obviously did not dare to hide their selfishness. Anyway, Wu Guo came to take the lead this time.

Lu Kang had been ill for a long time, his face was pale, and his body was weak. The generals around him did not recommend Lu Kang to ride a horse, but to take a carriage instead. Unwell, insist on riding a horse.

After crossing the Huaihe River, Lu Kang set foot on the Central Plains for the first time. This was also the first time in history that an army of Soochow Wu set foot on the Central Plains. When Sun Jian challenged Dong, it was not yet the power of Wu, but all Wu people , but they all regard Sun Jian as a role model.When Sun Jian moved to the Central Plains, he held high the banner of begging Dong. When the princes from all walks of life were flinching, he was brave and invincible. He was the first to enter Luoyang. memorial.

For a long time, the state of Wu has settled in the southeast corner, but from the moment the great emperor Sun Quan ascended the throne, the Wu people have never been peaceful, and have repeatedly used troops against Cao Wei, dreaming that one day they can realize the glory of Sun Jian and once again rule Luoyang.

However, times have changed. The reason why Sun Jian was able to attack Luoyang back then was because the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces challenged Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was afraid and gave up Luoyang and moved his capital to Chang'an. Under the background, Sun Jian was able to successfully occupy Luoyang. Luoyang at that time , had already been removed by Dong Zhuoqiang, the palace ministers and common people, and burned, leaving only a pile of ruins.

However, Sun Jian still found a treasure from Luoyang, that is, the Chuanguo Yuxi, which is also the reason why the Sun family always believed in being ordered by heaven when they proclaimed themselves emperor.

It's a pity that Sun Jian's repeated Northern Expeditions all came back in vain, and he couldn't even cross the Huaihe River, let alone invade the Central Plains and occupy Luoyang.

But today, Lu Kang crossed the Huaihe River for the first time and entered the land of the Central Plains. When the dry wind blew on his face, although Lu Kang obviously did not adapt to the climate of the Central Plains, the joy in his heart still made him feel happy. He is extremely excited, he has made history, but he is still one step away from his dream.
