Three Kingdoms: Start With 3,000 Qin Cavalry To Revive The Qin Dynasty

Luoyang, the residence of Dong Xiangguo.

"The eighteen princes, claiming to have an army of five hundred thousand, also said that they would capture our family alive. It turns out that it was nothing more than that. A single Hua Xiong beat you until you were unable to fight back."

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing after receiving the battle report that Hua Xiong had defeated Sun Jian's front army, and Sun Jian had lost his helmet and armor and almost lost his life.

"The eighteen princes may seem to be powerful and powerful in numbers, but in fact they have different hearts and minds, and they all have their own agendas, and all of them dislike each other."

"Now that Sun Jian has been defeated, no one is willing to take the lead and do their best to deal with us. 17

"Master Xiangguo only needs to seize the opportunity, and he will be able to defeat them one by one and completely destroy the coalition forces.

Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and Dong Zhuo's top military advisor Li Ru analyzed the situation at the scene.

According to the current situation, even if the Xiliang Army does not fight against the Eighteenth Route Princes, as long as Hua Xiong can hold Sishui Pass and delay the coalition forces in front of the pass for several months, the coalition forces can be in chaos without a fight.

If the Xiliang army seizes this gap and rushes out, they will definitely be able to defeat the coalition forces of the eighteen princes.

"General Hua Xiong is worthy of being our fourth general. He defeated Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, with one attack.

"Send the order and grant General Hua Xiong the title of General Polu and Marquis of Ping."

Faced with such a great joy, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and naturally he was not stingy with rewards. He was ready to give Hua Xiong an official position and a title, so as to encourage the Xiliang soldiers to work better for him.

As soon as the words of the reward were spoken, soldiers hurriedly rushed in: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, an urgent military report came from the front line of Sishui Pass. General Hua Xiong was beheaded.

"Wha...what, our Hua Xiong was killed."

After seeing the emergency report, Dong Zhuo's face quickly darkened, and he threw away the bamboo slips in anger.

"This is incredible. We just received the news that General Hua Xiong defeated Sun Jian and killed Sun Jian's general Shen Mao. Today we received the news that General Hua Xiong was killed in battle.

Li Ru picked up the letter on the ground and frowned after reading it.

"It's that damn Ying Xi who actually sent someone to kill our Hua Xiong."

"In vain of our family's trust, he was promoted from a small county magistrate to Bingzhou Shepherd. I didn't expect that this beast would repay his favor and go against our family."

Dong Zhuo became even more furious when he saw the battle report saying that Hua Xiong was killed by Ying Xi's men.

The reason why he promoted Ying Xi was because he wanted to use Ying Xi to deal with those Guandong princes.

According to the previous battle report, Ying Xi sent troops to capture Shangdang, Hanoi and other places. Dong Zhuo was still a little excited and planned to reward his lackadaisical.

When he turned around, he received the news that Ying Xi was colluding with the princes of Guandong to deal with him.

General Hua Xiong died in battle, the morale of our army dropped, and Sishui Pass may not be able to hold on for much longer. "

"Once Sishui Pass falls into the hands of the Guandong princes, the only barrier left in Luoyang is Hulao Pass.

"If Hulao Pass is captured by the coalition forces of the princes again, the distance from it to Luoyang will be flat and the coalition forces will be able to take Luoyang directly. Therefore, Hulao Pass must not be occupied by the rebels again and needs to be mobilized.

Soldiers defend. "

"Our family naturally understands the importance of Hulao Pass and decided to personally lead the army and sit in Hulao Pass."

Although Dong Zhuo has been extravagant and licentious these days, he is not incompetent in military affairs.

Of course he knows. The importance of Hulao Pass to yourself.

Once Hulao Pass is breached, the rebels will be able to fight all the way to Luoyang. By then, Dong Zhuo's dream will be completely in vain.

Instead of waiting for the coalition forces of the princes to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative to fight at Hulao Pass.

"With the Prime Minister personally taking action, we will definitely be able to boost morale, and our Xiliang soldiers will be able to fight the enemy bravely and repel the coalition forces of the Western princes."

"Master Xiangguo is going on this expedition, why not take Lu Bu with him. Lu Bu is among the people and the red rabbit is among the horses. If Lu Bu helps, he will be more invincible and quickly deal with the rebels." Li Ru then suggested.

Apart from taking Ding Yuan's head as a meeting gift, Lu Bu has not made any achievements since joining Dong Zhuo. It is time for him to show his strength as the best general in the world.

In addition, Lu Bu still had 50,000 troops in his hands, which were the troops of Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou.

This army is not Dong Zhuo's legitimate son, but only obeys orders from Lu Bu. If they don't take the opportunity to weaken them, they will definitely be troublesome in the future.

"Well, we will listen to you. Lu Bu will lead the Bingzhou army to go out with us. Niu Fu will lead an army of 50,000 to garrison in Luoyang. If there is any abnormality among the officials, they can be killed first and then reported."

"Our family had to kill these thieves Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Ying Xi this time to get rid of the bad breath in our hearts."

Dong Zhuo was furious and issued a series of orders.

He knew very well that the civil and military officials in Luoyang City appeared to be surrendered to him, but in fact, there were countless people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

No matter how you kill these people. It is impossible to kill them all, as long as you lead the army to leave Luoyang. These people will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Niu Fu and 50,000 troops were left behind just to frighten Buchen.

"Lord Xiangguo, on this expedition, why not bring Yuan Wei and the Yuan family members who stayed in Luoyang with us."

"If Sishui Pass is not secured and the allied forces of the princes attack Hulao Pass, the Yuan family and Yuan Wei can still be used to threaten Yuan Shao and others so that they do not dare to act rashly."

Li Ru made another suggestion.

Although the Guandong princes have an eighteenth coalition, among them, the Yijia family is the most powerful.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yi all came from the Yuan family, and there were many princes who were disciples of the Yuan family.

As long as Yuan Wei and the children of the Yuan family are controlled, Yuan Shao's people can be made to use rat weapons, not to mention letting the allied forces of the princes retreat.

If Yuan Wei is left in Luoyang, relying on his influence as the fourth generation and the third prince, if he resorts to some conspiracies and tricks, even if Niu Fu has an army of 50,000, he may not be able to deal with it.

"In that case, let's take all of Yuan Wei's family with us."

"If those guys Yuan Shao retreat obediently, our family will feel better. We can't leave that old guy alone."

"If not, in front of the two armies, our family will sacrifice the head of that old guy Yuan Wei to the flag.

Dong Zhuo laughed.

For him, he doesn't care at all about the four generations and three princes.

If he really offends him, even if he wants to kill the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, it will only be a matter of words.

*******

Luoyang, Lu Bu's mansion.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo sent an order to lead the army to Hulao Pass tomorrow to resist the princes of Guandong. My lord, please lead the army and go out together." Hou Cheng hurriedly came to report.

"Is my foster father going to fight in person so soon?"

"Go down immediately and rectify your troops."

"My lord, do you want to take the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with you to this battle?" Cheng Lian asked with his hand raised.

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has been famous for a long time. They are the most powerful cavalry combat force under Lu Bu, not even inferior to the most elite Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo.

Most of its members are frontier troops stationed in the Bingzhou area. They have fought against Xianbei, Xiongnu and other soldiers for many years. They can be said to be veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles.

Although it only has 3,000 troops, it is still capable of fighting even if it faces an enemy force ten times its own.

"The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is my Lu Bu's last trump card. Unless absolutely necessary, it must not be used."

"If we lose this elite, my position, Lu Bu, in the entire Xiliang Army will be affected."

"This expedition is to deal with the rats in Guandong. Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and Cao Xing will lead an army of 40,000 to accompany them. Cheng Lian, Gao Shun and others will stay in Luoyang with Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry."

Although Lu Bu worshiped Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father, he had no father-son affection at all and was only involved in interests.

Lu Bu is not stupid. The most elite Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in his hands must not become Dong Zhuo's cannon fodder against the princes of Guandong.

"You will go down and arrange it immediately."

"promise!"

Zhang Liao and others surrendered and went down to mobilize their troops.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu led his 40,000 Bingzhou army, and after reuniting with the 100,000 Xiliang troops led by Dong Zhuo, they rushed to Hulao Pass together.

"Lord Xiangguo, it seems to me that Lu Bu is clumsy and may have ulterior motives."

Where Li Ru looked, he saw a majestic Lu Bu with a red rabbit horse on his crotch and a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand. He couldn't help but remind him.

"Wenyou, why did you say that?"

"Lü Bu did not bring his most elite Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with him on this expedition. Could it be that he had some ulterior motive?"

As far as he was concerned, Lu Bu could sell and kill even his adoptive father Ding Yuan at will, and he was just a capricious villain who was unjust for profit.

He could kill his adoptive father Ding Yuan for a mere red rabbit horse and a little money.

Will his current adoptive father Dong Zhuo be killed in the future because of a horse, a person or other interests?

"Wen You, you are too worried. Fengxian is the adopted son of our family. He is loyal to our family. He must not sow discord in the future." Dong Zhuo said confidently.

In his opinion, he has such an adopted son who is the best in the world, so there is nothing to worry about.

And he believed that Lu Bu was a smart man who knew the price of betrayal.

During this expedition, Lu Bu combined his 50,000 troops with the state army. Bringing 40,000 yuan was enough to show Dong Zhuo's loyalty to him.

Seeing that his sincere words were just sowing discord in Dong Zhuo's eyes, Li Ru's enthusiasm turned into a helpless sigh.

He only felt that Lu Bu was just a villain who was greedy for profit and could not be truly trusted.

However, his lord had complete trust in Lu Bu, which made Li Ru start to worry.

Neither Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo nor Li Ru thought that there was a group of people outside Luoyang City, silently watching them leave.

Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's army leaving Luoyang City and letting their guard down, this group of people sneaked into Luoyang quietly.

Their purpose was very clear. Most of them went straight to the Luoyang Palace, while a small number stayed at the north gate of Luoyang for support.

The front line of Sishui Pass.

The allied forces of the princes took advantage of the fact that Hua Xiong was killed and the Xiliang army was distracted, and launched a fierce attack towards Sishui Pass.

On this day, after a day of fighting, both sides had to choose to temporarily withdraw after the coalition forces failed to attack the key point at the cost of thousands of people.

"." Those princes outside the pass, like mad dogs, launched several attacks on our Sishui Pass. If we continue with such a brutal offensive and defensive battle, Sishui Pass will be insecure in a few days. Wang Fang said with a worried look.

After the offensive and defensive battles in the past few days, the Xiliang Army suffered heavy casualties, even several times. They were all broken through to the pass by the coalition forces.

It is only a matter of time before the pass is lost.

This also made Wang Fang, Yang Ding and others who were guarding the city worried.

"Don't worry too much, there is news from Luoyang that the Prime Minister has personally led an army of over 100,000 people out of Luoyang.

"As long as we hold on for a few more days and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, we will be able to defeat the unparalleled strength of the princes by coordinating our efforts internally and externally.

Seeing that morale was low, Dong Huang gave everyone a shot in the arm.

"It will take several days for Sir Xiangguo's reinforcements to arrive, and I don't know if we can hold on until that time.

Yang Ding was a little unsure when he spoke.

Obviously, he is not optimistic about this battle.

"Whether you can keep it or not,

We must grit our teeth and hold on. If we abandon the pass before the reinforcements of the Prime Minister arrive, I don’t need to say more about the consequences.

"Second order, the officers and men of the three armies are in strict formation. If anyone escapes before the battle, they will be killed without mercy."

Dong Huang gritted his teeth and issued a strict order.

Yuan Shao was particularly attentive to the attack on Sishui Pass.

As the leader of the alliance, he urged the princes from all walks of life to send more troops and horses to attack the passes day and night.

Most of the soldiers who attacked the pass were from the coalition forces of other princes, and Yuan Shao didn't feel sorry for them at all.

He even hoped that these coalition forces of princes could defeat Dong Zhuo's army and both sides would suffer losses, so that he could profit from it (Nuo Hao Zhao).

Compared with the various princes who worked hard but did not work hard and were passive and slow in their work, they made profits but did not work hard and did not work hard. They set up camp twenty miles away from Sishui Pass and watched the attack and defense of Sishui Pass.

war.

Under the overwhelming military strength of various princes and fierce attacks day and night, the defense line of Sishui Pass was finally chewed down by the coalition forces of the princes.

Seeing that the situation was over, Dong Huang did not dare to stay at Sishui Pass and chose to retreat tactically.

When Hua Xiong died, Dong Huang fled. Wang Fang, Yang Ding and others, not even intending to die to serve the country, tore off their feet one by one and fled in the direction of Hulao Pass.

The remaining Xiliang troops who had no time to escape were massacred by the coalition forces when the coalition of princes invaded Sishui Pass.

Yuan Shao rode a horse and entered the Sishui Pass with great swagger.

Then he went to the pass in person, tore down the Xiliang army's flag, threw it to the foot of the pass, and replaced it with the coalition flag.

After several days of hard siege battle, we finally captured this pass.

Of course, what made Yuan Shao even more happy was that the battle lasted for about four or five days, and the coalition forces of the princes lost a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses. On the other hand, Yuan Shao's men "died less than a thousand."

It not only captured Sishui Pass, but also indirectly consumed the strength of the coalition forces of the princes.

Yuan Shaozheng was very proud of his feat of killing two birds with one stone.

You all have made great achievements in taking Sishui Pass this time. The leader of this alliance decided to rest here for three days, and then go straight to Hulao Pass in one go. "

In this attack, all the princes suffered losses of varying sizes, and the soldiers were exhausted. No one had any doubts about Yuan Shao's order to repair.

In the end, Yuan Shao held a banquet for the princes at Sishui Pass. Many allied soldiers were also rewarded with fine wines and delicacies, and enjoyed it endlessly.

Even Yuan Shu, who was beaten by Sun Jian and was recovering from his injuries in the rear, was escorted by a group of generals and came to Sishui Pass to celebrate. .
