Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Replacement of Shaodi

That envoy was a white-robed army under Chen Qingzhi, and after saluting Qin Bin and the others, he said bluntly, “Lord, General Chen took advantage of the night to attack Tongguan two days ago, and after a battle, the Chang’an defender Dong Min came to attack, General Chen led his troops to annihilate him, and at noon yesterday, taking advantage of the emptiness of Chang’an City, he captured Chang’an City in one fell swoop, and now General Chen is deploying defense in Chang’an City, because of the lack of troops, I hope Jun will quickly send reinforcements.” ”

“Hiss~”

After listening to the report of the Ling Envoy, Qin Bin and the others couldn’t help but gasp.

Lu Zhi didn’t believe it, and Tongguan didn’t say anything.

That Chang’an City is the old capital, although after the Guangwu Emperor moved the capital to Luoyang, the status of Chang’an City declined, and the city defense was abandoned, but the foundation that served as the capital of the Great Han for more than 200 years is still there, how can Chen Qingzhi’s thousands of people fall in a short time?

Lu Zhi asked the envoy carefully with suspicion, and after listening to the envoy of the order, he also had to believe it.

According to the envoy, the situation in Tongguan was similar to that of Hangu Pass, both of which were in disrepair, and because Chang’an was close to Tongguan and could support Tongguan at any time, the garrison of Tongguan was weaker.

Chen Qingzhi took advantage of this and attacked Tongguan by surprise, and fought a battle.

Then it was discovered that this battle was fought too quickly, and the Tongguan defenders lost 1,200 dead and captured more than 700, and the Tongguan defenders did not escape a single person.

Chen Qingzhi also interrogated the troops, and learned that before the war, the general of Tongguan sent people to Chang’an to ask for reinforcements, and the reinforcements were already on the way.

Chen Qingzhi also ordered his subordinates to still carry the banner of the garrison of Yuantong Pass, and he led his troops to ambush in the city, and after Dong Min led his troops into the city, he made a big drum and trumpet, ambushed the troops in all directions, and annihilated more than 10,000 troops led by Dong Min in one fell swoop, and Dong Min was wounded and captured.

Then Chen Qingzhi learned through the surrender that Dong Min had taken most of the army out of Chang’an City at this time, and at this time Chang’an City was empty, and the defenders were less than 5,000.

Knowing this, Chen Qingzhi immediately gathered the pawns, and in addition to the 2,000 pawns who remained in Tongguan, he took the pawns and the white-robed army totaling 6,000 people, set out overnight, rushed to attack Chang’an City, and took advantage of Chang’an to stay unprepared, and captured Chang’an City in one fell swoop.

At this point, Chen Qingzhi led less than 3,000 people, and after connecting the two cities, the number of troops did not decrease, but after the troops were collected, the strength of the troops suddenly increased to tens of thousands, and the ordnance and grain and grass equipment obtained were even more difficult to count.

After listening to the envoy’s narration, Lu Zhi and the others were amazed at Chen Qingzhi’s impromptu response and the style of a general, especially Meng Hun and Wang Anshi from later generations, and they wanted to see this white-robed general who has been passed down through the ages immediately.

After letting the envoy who had been rushing for days go down to receive the reward and rest, Qin Bin spoke up and said, “Since Ziyun gave us such a surprise, the plan has changed. ”

Lu Zhi and others should be.

According to the original plan, Qin Bin planned to wait for Chen Qingzhi to successfully capture Tongguan, then Qin Bin would personally go to Tongguan and plan Chang’an City.

Now you can skip straight to the next plan.

Qin Bin paused for a moment and then said, “Puyu, this king has appointed you as the captain of the royal palace, and the military affairs of Hangu Guan are handed over to you. King Ben left 3,000 soldiers, 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, and two years of ordnance and food for you, you only need to ensure that Hangu Pass does not fall. ”

Meng Huan replied, “The last general will take orders, and he will ensure that the Gugu Pass is not lost.” ”

Qin Bin looked at Wang Anshi again, “Jiefu, this king has appointed you as the royal palace Xiangguo, and the political affairs under this king are taken over by you, and your main task is to collect the displaced people, open up land and build cities, and when necessary, send troops to Puyu.” ”

Wang Anshi replied, “Your subordinates take orders.” ”

Qin Bin continued, “Master Lu will temporarily succumb to the post of Lieutenant Commander of Hongnong Wang Lang and follow me to Chang’an.” ”

Lu Zhi surrendered his hand, “The old minister takes orders.” ”

After arranging it, Qin Bin shared another drink with everyone, and then hastily ended the banquet, and each of them prepared to go….

The next day, Qin Bin took Qin Shubao, Lu Zhi, Wang Anshi, as well as one hundred Xuanjia horses, fifteen hundred white-robed troops, and two thousand light horses, traveled lightly and set out in the direction of Tongguan.

Not long after Qin Bin left Hangu Pass, Li Wei gathered Fan Chou’s people, put aside his prejudices, and after discussing with Lü Bu, he felt that it was not a way to return to Luoyang to restore his life, so he decided to try to storm Hangu Pass.

After another day, Lü Bu and Li Wei regrouped their army and led more than 30,000 people to Hangu Pass again.

Soon Lü Bu and Li Wei discovered that the banner of King Hongnong had been changed from King Hongnong’s banner to the ‘Meng’ banner at Hangu Pass.

Lü Bu and Li Wei were puzzled, but after some exchanges, they both decided that King Hongnong should not be in Hangu Guanzhong, and the general of Guanzhong was replaced by an unknown general surnamed Meng.

Lü Bu and Li Wei felt that this might be an opportunity, and if they could recapture Hangu Pass, reopen the main road between the two capitals, and want to return to Luoyang to restore their lives, Dong Zhuo would not blame him too much.

The second general did not do much calculation, and directly gave way to the siege equipment, wanting to take Hangu Pass with a bang.

With a few days of all-out repairs, Hangu Pass was not dilapidated at this time, and with sufficient armed forces and abundant food and grass in the city, it could be said that the soldiers were full of food.

In Meng Heng’s view, the Hangu Pass was unbreakable at this time.

The truth was just as Meng Jue judged, Lü Bu and Li Bu attacked for several days, and after leaving thousands of corpses in front of the Hangu Pass, they did not even climb the city head once.

Lü Bu and Li Wei were even more depressed at this time, not to mention that the strong crossbows in Guancheng were extremely terrifying, and their own crossbowmen were completely unable to suppress each other.

It is the general surnamed Meng, and the strategy of defending the city can be described as dripping water.

On the trebuchet, dozens of trebuchets were fired in unison in the city, smashing their own simple trebuchets.

The heavy infantry cooperated with the collision and the strong charge of the well railing, and the rolling wood, stone, and gold juice fell one after another on the city wall, and with the strong bow and crossbow suppression, the heavy infantry was killed and injured as soon as it approached the city wall, and it was impossible to organize an offensive to the city.

I wanted to engage in night ~ attacks, but the garrison on the city wall rotated day and night, and was heavily guarded, and I couldn’t find an opportunity at all.

Even coercion and inducement, Lü Bu and they have tried, but it is a pity that the defender surnamed Meng, who is as stable as Mount Tai, on the city wall does not pay attention to their envoy at all.

In the end, Lü Bu and the others still wanted to detour the path, but they just found two trails that could only pass through one or two horses, and before they had time to act, the probe reported that there were garrisons on the top of the two trails, and it was more difficult to capture those two trails than to capture the Hangu Pass, because the location of the trail was too precipitous, and only dozens of soldiers needed to guard the main road to block the attack of thousands of troops.

After a few days, Lü Bu and Li Wei also understood why King Hongnong would use this unknown guard general surnamed Meng, who was a stubborn stone, a stubborn stone that they could not smash or move.

After knowing the strength of this general surnamed Meng, Lü Bu discussed with Li Wei, Zhang Liao and others a little more, and finally came to the conclusion that without reinforcements, with the current strength and armed forces, it was impossible to take Hangu Pass.

With this conclusion, Lü Bu and the others could only reluctantly quit.

However, at this time, Lü Bu and others received an urgent report from Luoyang, saying that the combined army of more than ten princes of Sour Zao officially swore an oath and sent troops to Luoyang, and at this time, Zhongmu was in a hurry, and Dong Zhuo wanted Lü Bu and his headquarters to return to Luoyang, while Li Wei continued to pursue and kill King Hongnong.

After Lü Bu received the order to call back, he was relieved, quickly packed up his weapons and belongings, and happily left the Hangu Pass boundary with his own soldiers and horses.

Only a bitter look was left for Li Wei.

After Lü Bu left, Li Wei saw that his troops were only more than 10,000 left, and he also knew that it was impossible to capture Hangu Pass, so he first returned to Hongnong County to garrison, and then sent an envoy to report the battle of Hangu Pass to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang
