Chapter 258

In June of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Ye, shepherd of Liangzhou, welcomed Liu Bian, the deposed emperor, in Jixian County, made Liu Bian the emperor, and refuted Dong Zhuo's crime of abolishing Li.

Liu Ye also invited Fazhen, a respected and respected scholar, to join forces with Yang Fu, Xun You and other well-known scholars in Liangzhou to jointly write a letter calling for Dong Dong.

"Dong Zhuo, a traitor, committed a heinous crime. He stole the order of heaven and deposed the emperor. The prince Liu Bian, the empress dowager, and Zhuo abolished him today, Muye, Liangzhou. Follow it quickly!"

Liu Ye ordered Pang De to lead the army to carry these silk papers with him, and shoot arrows into each city every time he arrived, forming a powerful political offensive.

As the saying goes, a teacher is famous, even if it is as powerful as the United States, it said "it has weapons of mass destruction" in the crusade against Iraq. Although it has not been found afterwards, there must always be a fig leaf.

And this paper against Dong Zhuo is not just a fig leaf, especially in conjunction with Liu Ye's offensive, it will become a sharp weapon against Dong Zhuo.

There are a total of 34,000 elite soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, which are divided into three parts. Because of the ban, Zhang Jai and Ma Teng are the three commanders respectively. In order to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Ye quickly made changes.

Pang De led 5,000 iron cavalry east to Sanfu, and Liu Ye ordered Zhang Jai to immediately lead 8,000 troops to Jixian County. At the same time, he divided two 4,000 troops from the Imperial Army to Wuwei County and handed them over to Ma Teng as commander.

In this way, the number of elite soldiers stationed in Liangzhou reached 10,000. Cooperating with the troops stationed in the fields, if any foreign enemies invaded, they could resist for a period of time until the Liangzhou army and horses came back to help.

And Liu Ye took Pang De as the vanguard, led two generals Zhang Jai and Yu Jin, and commanded an army of 19,000, and went east with great fanfare. And Xun You was hired as a military teacher to sacrifice wine and accompany the army as a military counselor.

"Hahaha, Gongda, Thief Dong really didn't have time to send out his troops, and our soldiers captured Feng Yi County without bloodshed."

Sitting in the palace city of Feng Yi County, Liu Ye laughed loudly.

Xun You on the side smiled slightly: "Liangzhou is close to Yongzhou, and it is easy for our army to obtain the three assistants. Now we only need to see Dong Zhuo's reaction speed and Captain Pang's marching speed."

Because Pang De attacked several counties in one go, Liu Ye has made him a school lieutenant.

Zhang Jaw on the side frowned: "Mr. Gongda, when do you think Bandit Dong will send troops?"

Yu Jin also looked at Xun You, the military wisdom of the Huangmen servant in the palace had already convinced them, veteran generals in the army.

Xun You said solemnly: "The dissemination of the Dong Xiwen spreads much faster than our army's marching speed. After the Dong thief sees the Dong Xiwen, he will definitely send troops immediately. Maybe he is already on the way now."

After the second general Yu Jin and Zhang Jaw heard it, he was worried for a while. After all, the difference in military strength was too great. There were only more than 20,000 troops in Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo had more than 100,000 troops. Even the Northern Army and Lu Bu Army Unable to move, Dong Zhuo mustered 50,000 troops, which was not easy to deal with.

The iron cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command are not miscellaneous troops like the Yellow Turban Bandits, but like the Liangzhou soldiers, they are all elites who have experienced bloody battles.

Xun You saw the worries of Zhang Jaw and Yu Jin, and he couldn't help but comfort him: "It's okay, as long as Captain Pang is fast enough to take Tongguan in one fell swoop, then our army will have grasped the gates of Yongliang and Liangzhou, and retreated." You can protect the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou yourself, and you can sweep Sizhou if you enter, Tongguan is naturally dangerous, and one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men can't open it."

Liu Ye didn't change his face: "It doesn't matter, if Dong Zhuo sends troops to invade Chang'an, our army will defeat Dong Zhuo in an upright manner, and enshrine the emperor in Chang'an."

Seeing Liu Ye's expression remained unchanged, Zhang Jaw felt admiration in his heart, and suddenly his heart burst out with courage.

"What my lord said is that our army has been invincible since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so why are you afraid of him?"

Yu Jin also nodded, but still said: "Dong Zei has many soldiers, but our army has few soldiers. More than 20,000 people are the elite, and we should avoid wastage as much as possible."

The failure of the Battle of Chibi caused Cao Cao to lose a large number of elites, so that Sun Quan's attack on Hefei could only be handed over to Zhang Liao, which failed to stop Liu Bei's expansion in Jingzhou.

"Well, order the army to rest in Fengyi County for one night, and send troops tomorrow to attack Chang'an!"

After Liu Ye led his army to rest for a night in Fengyi County, he recharged his batteries and left the stronghold with 19,000 troops, marching towards Chang'an City.

At the same time, Luoyang.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister?"

Hearing the cry, Dong Zhuo opened his eyelids quite dissatisfied. Yesterday he just played with one of Emperor Ling's concubine all night, and he was so tired, who dares to disturb him without long eyes?

"Prime Minister, Dr. Li wants to see you."

Hearing the waiter's cautious voice, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to sit up sideways, wearing a white inner suit, and grabbed a brocade robe casually.

"Let Wenyou in."

"Here."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Li Ru walked in anxiously holding a piece of tissue paper.

"Father-in-law, Liu Ye has sent troops!" Li Ru said loudly.

"What?" Dong Zhuo was taken aback.

"This is Liu Ye's call to crusade against you, father-in-law, please take a look." Li Ru handed over the tissue paper in his hand, Dong Zhuo hurriedly took it, and after a rough reading, he immediately cursed.

"Good boy, after kidnapping King Hongnong and the Queen Mother, you dare to send troops to provoke Yu Zhenxiang. You are looking for death."

Li Ru was worried and said: "If Liu Ye doesn't send troops, this paper will be nothing more than a scrap of paper, but if Liu Ye's army goes east to Sanfu, I'm afraid Yongzhou will be shaken."

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Then what are you waiting for? Immediately mobilize troops to go out and order Li Jue to lead the Feixiong army, Guo Si to assist!"

Li Ru sighed: "Father-in-law, Li Zhiran and Guo Si took away the Feixiong Army, how can our army suppress Lu Fengxian and the Northern Army? Besides, the roads in Yongliang and Liangzhou are flat, and the cavalry is advancing rapidly. When Li Jue and Guo Si arrive at Tongguan, Liu Ye and Changan The city has been taken down."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, sat on the couch, and said unwillingly, "Then what should I do?"

Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, subdued Lu Bu and defeated Ding Yuan, and abolished the emperor in one go. It was very fun at first, but now the mobilization of troops and horses seems to be in a quagmire, and he can't help being impatient.

Li Rudao: "Isn't Niu Zhonglang's troops stationed in Anyi? Let Niu Zhonglang lead the troops to help Chang'an immediately, stabilize the situation first, and then order the two generals Li and Guo to lead the troops west to defeat Liu Ye. The army may be able to take advantage of the situation and attack Liangzhou in one go, advance to attack the Central Plains, and retreat to protect Yongliang."

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ruzhi's words, he was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, write a letter to Niu Fu quickly, asking him to lead troops to help Chang'an immediately. If he doesn't come to Chang'an within three days, the truth will be skinned!"

"Yes, my son-in-law is ready."
