I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 90 Escape from Luoyang
Xi Zhicai said thoughtfully: "According to the master's previous plan, the main mission of our army is to take down Hanoi County and wait for an opportunity to attack Luoyang. Right now the Yellow River is gradually thawing, and the ice is not firm. Tens of thousands of troops may not be able to cross the river." .We still collect ships first to prepare for the army to cross the Yellow River, and at the same time send a message to the lord Feige and wait for the next arrangement."

When Lu Bu heard it, he felt very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "According to the military advisor, I will send a letter to my lord immediately."

"Military Master, there is one more thing. Did my lord say how to arrange for the former Bingzhou Army who surrendered, as well as the two brave generals Cheng Lian and Song Xian." Lu Bu asked with some expectation.

Xi Zhicai naturally understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "My lord, Xiongcai is very talented. He is very comparable to others. He has already arranged everything and told me before coming. When they are anyway, all these soldiers will be handed over to Fengxian. Only the elite are left behind. The other two brave generals will also belong to your subordinates, and they will be at your command."

"My lord has already penetrated into my heart and trusted me so much. Bu Ding is so terrified, and he will not hesitate." Lu Bu was indeed very moved. He trusted a general like himself without suspicion at all. He was indeed a rare wise master.

…………

Dong Zhuo has been busy transporting Luoyang's wealth, and his soldiers also took advantage of the fire to loot, burning, killing and looting everywhere, almost treating Luoyang as his "paradise".

Naturally, the emperor's officials were also on the migration list. Many ministers were forced to go on the road by the butcher's knife, and the Xiliang army did not give special treatment along the way.Not to mention the plain-headed ordinary people, there are even more mourners, and some Dong Zhuojun took the opportunity to rob, rape and plunder all kinds of crimes.

Although the soldiers under his command are extremely busy, Dong Zhuo is not in a good mood right now.

Li Shimin acted quickly and decisively, and wiped out Duan Yan and Niu Fu's army without letting anyone go, but Dong Zhuo still judged through some clues that the two armies might be more or less dangerous, and finally, under the investigation of the secret disc, he finally confirmed it. own guesses.

The two armies were wiped out, and his son-in-law Niu Fu died in the rebellion.

This made Dong Zhuo extremely uneasy, and he couldn't care less about being sad, so he quickly invited his brains over to ask about countermeasures.

"Wenhe, Wenyou, what's the plan now?" Dong Zhuo was indeed a little confused. He didn't expect Li Shimin's army to be so strong. In addition to the [-] troops outside the pass, there were so many troops to attack Hanoi and Hedong County. This made him unbelievable.

Originally, these two armies were dedicated to containing and defending Chang'an and Luoyang, but now they have fallen into the sand.

Moreover, his Qiang and Hu friends seemed not enough friends at all, and did not play a role in containing Li Shimin at all.

The two counselors also felt that the situation was a little passive. The two armies of Li Shimin were like two sharp swords hanging over their heads, and they might be chopped down at any time. What's more terrible was the defense of Hedong and Hanoi counties. Yao and Niufu have nearly [-] troops, and now they are stretched and Guanzhong is also very empty.

Right now, I'm afraid we can only rely on the natural barrier of the Yellow River to block it for a while, and when the Yellow River is completely thawed, the natural barrier will be completely gone.

Jia Xu frowned and said, "My lord, we can only quickly retreat to Guanzhong. Otherwise, when the Yellow River is unsealed, once the Bingzhou army takes Tongguan and Huayin, our army will die."

Li Ru added helplessly: "My lord, what Mr. Wen He said is reasonable. I'm afraid we can only speed up our retreat right now, and we must guard against being chased by the Kwantung coalition forces. Fortunately, the emperor has transferred us to Chang'an. As long as the emperor is in hand, the Kwantung coalition forces will Don't dare to act rashly, I will still have a chance to come back."

It turned out that when Dong Zhuo learned that the Kwantung Allied Forces were coming to attack, Dong Zhuo first arranged for elite soldiers to "escort" the emperor and other members of the royal family to withdraw to Chang'an, and they have arrived now.

Although Dong Zhuo didn't know what it meant to "take the emperor to order the princes", he also knew that the emperor's rare goods could live in them, and they were of great use.

Dong Zhuo also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to accept it as soon as it was good, and stopped robbing the rich and relocating the people.

Soon, Dong Zhuo made a decision and ordered: "Wen You, I will leave Hulaoguan and Luoyang to you, and please stay here to cover my retreat." Dong Zhuo said very solemnly, and seemed to trust Li Ru very much.

Li Ru immediately replied: "My lord, don't worry, Ru will live up to the entrustment of the grand master, he is so heartbroken, it is his duty." Li Ru has completely fallen for Dong Zhuo since he poisoned the young emperor Liu Bian. If you want to say who Dong Zhuo trusts the most now, Li Ru Definitely on top.

Moreover, Li Ru can only rely on Dong Zhuo, the world is so big, I am afraid that there is no room for him, and if he falls into the hands of other princes, he will only die.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly assembled his army, preparing to retreat to the pass overnight, and all the troops remaining at Hulao Pass were also preparing to withdraw, leaving less than 3000 people at the head of the city to support the scene.

…………

Li Shimin, who was in Suanzao, soon received the letter from Zhang Yun and Lu Bu, knowing that the army under his command had completed half of the strategic goal, and the next step was to plot Guanzhong and Luoyang.

"In this case, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo is not far away from escaping, and it's time to act." Li Shimin also thought to himself.

It's just that he couldn't make up his mind for a while about sending troops to the pass and capturing Luoyang, so he was also thinking about it.

Moreover, it is the beginning of March in the cold spring, and what makes him regret is that the news from Zhang Yun and Lu Bu said that the Yellow River has begun to thaw, and the ice of the Yellow River is not strong enough to support tens of thousands of troops. It takes time, and ships can't move at all in ice.

They are all collecting boats and waiting for the Yellow River to completely thaw before they can cross the Yellow River.

In this way, Li Shimin was a little helpless, and his plan to cross the Yellow River to attack Guannei and Luoyang might not be able to be carried out, so he sighed secretly, "It seems that Dong Zhuo's life should not be lost."

…………

During the month when the coalition forces were stationed in Suanzao, great internal changes also took place.

Ever since the coalition forces gathered before Hulao Pass for the first time and withdrew to Suanzao camp after just a glance, the princes from all walks of life had no intention of making a move at all, and even Li Shimin held the attitude of watching the fire from the other side.

Cao Cao was very disappointed, so he dispatched troops by himself, rounded up Zhang Miao's five thousand elite soldiers, and a total of ten thousand troops marched towards Xingyang. Injured by Liu Ya, fortunately his cousin Cao Hong rescued him and survived.

After returning from the defeat, I saw all the princes from all walks of life "singing karaoke and having a party" in the camp. It was very lively, and there was no aggressive intention at all.

Not only was he extremely disappointed with these heroes of the world, but he also felt that Li Shimin had a vain name, was not worth mentioning, and was not considered a hero.

He also robbed Li Shimin and said: "I heard that Li Zhoumu is a talented unicorn, and I also heard that you defeated the Xianbei and conquered the Huns. I thought you were at least a great hero, but you just have a false name."

Li Shimin and his subordinates were very angry, and they were about to teach this madman a lesson, but Li Shimin looked indifferent, and motioned everyone not to act rashly.
