Chapter 63: Lu Bu defeated

Lu Bu was already struggling to resist Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's fierce attack. Suddenly seeing Liu Bei rushing out of the military village again, he couldn't help but became timid. He quickly avoided Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, reined in his horse, and ran away on a red rabbit horse.

Seeing this scene, Sun Jian immediately swept his army and attacked. The soldiers and horses that Lü Bu had brought had been flustered when he saw Lü Bu's defeat and fled. At this time, they saw the enemy rushing into the military village like a sea tide and swept over them. In panic, they turned around and fled before they even joined the battle. The loss of the coalition forces was hunted down to Hulao Pass.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had just ascended the city gate, and he couldn't help but start to panic when he didn't want to see Lu Bu and his army escaped.

Zhou Yu saw that Dong Zhuo was shutting down and immediately said to Sun Jian; "Uncle, Dong Zhuo is shutting down, so the army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city pass!" Sun Jian glanced at the city pass, and she saw the fat Dong Zhuo standing under the canopy. The panicked appearance immediately sent the troops to take advantage of the situation to storm the city. The coalition forces had just defeated Lu Bu and their morale was high. Everyone went forward courageously and stormed the city defense like a stormy sea. A tragic offensive and defensive battle began immediately! The coalition forces are like a rainbow, but Dong Zhuojun is very struggling to resist because of the turmoil of Lu Bu's just defeated army! After a great battle lasted until the evening, Dong Zhuojun barely withstood the onslaught of the coalition forces! The coalition retreated temporarily.

The morale of Dong Zhuo's army at Chengguan was low. Dong Zhuo called the crowd for discussion. Dong Zhuo said in a panic: "The enemy is so crowded and powerful, and Fengxian has been defeated again. What should we do?" Everyone looked restless, and even Lu Bu was not as arrogant as before.

Li Rudao: "Taishi, the princes of the East are numerous and powerful, and the Luoyang area relies on the lair of the princes of the East but is far away from our base area. If this battle continues, I am afraid that Luoyang will be lost sooner or later!"

Dong Zhuo was very worried, and said, "What should I do?"

Li Rudao: "The Taishi doesn't need to worry, but there is a plan below." Seeing that Li Ru has a plan, Dong Zhuo hurriedly said, "Say it!"

Li Rudao: "Since the Luoyang area is unfavorable to us, why don't we abandon the Luoyang area and retreat to Chang'an? We burned Luoyang, and the princes will see no profit, and they will surely disperse. The Taishi regroups in Chang'an, come on Japan will march into the east again to defeat all the princes and avenge!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and laughed: "This strategy is good, this strategy is good! Just do it!"

Li Ru said: "The people move, the army retreats, and there is still a lot of gold and silver treasures, food and grass to move to Chang'an. It will take some time. Chen Lang must still be kept at Bangshui Pass, while Fan Si will continue to guard Hulao Pass. etc. After everything has been moved to Chang'an, the soldiers at Liangguan will be ordered to retreat." Dong Zhuo nodded, and hurried back to Luoyang overnight with Lu Bu and the main force of the army.

Chen Lang received the news that Dong Zhuojun was defeated at Baoshuiguan and that Dong Zhuo rushed back to Luoyang overnight. He couldn't help feeling that history seemed to be going on the original trajectory again, and couldn't help feeling anxious. Chen Lang doesn't care who wins and who loses, he only cares whether Luoyang, the unique metropolis in the world in this era, can be preserved.

Chen Lang found Dong Yuan and said: "I just got the news that the Taishi army was defeated at Hulaoguan, and the Taishi has returned to Luoyang to move the capital to Chang'an." Dong Yuan frowned and said: "I didn't expect Daddy to have Lu Bu unexpectedly. Will also be defeated!"

Chen Lang said: "Although Lv Bu is brave and invincible, there are also tens of thousands of warriors among the princes. Moreover, although Lv Bu is brave, he lacks resourcefulness and it is not surprising that he is defeated." Then he said, "I have something to think about. I want you to do it." Dong Yuan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, what's the matter?"

Chen Lang gave a careful account, and then handed a memorial to Dong Yuan. Dong Yuan took the memorial and suddenly hugged Chen Lang's neck and kissed his lips, giggled, turned around, and left. Chen Lang was stunned, touched Yuxiang's lingering lips, couldn't help but smile, but then became annoyed again.

After Dong Zhuo left, Sun Jian urged the army to continue to attack Hulao Pass. Fan Si tried his best to resist. The situation was very bad. At the time of Boshuiguan, Yuan Shao and others also tried desperately to attack, but Chen Lang suddenly went out of the city to counterattack and frustrated his spirit, the attack was paused.

As soon as Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, he summoned all the civil and military officials of the court to announce the move of the capital. Many ministers of civil and military affairs objected, and were beheaded by Lu Bu. They were terrified and did not dare to speak out to dissuade them.

Dong Yuan led dozens of female guards back to Luoyang. Instead of seeing her father Dong Zhuo, she first came to Jia Xu's residence. Jia Xu heard that Miss Dong Yuan was coming, and hurried out to welcome her.

Dong Yuan said: "Mr. You don't need to be polite, Brother Ying asked me to come to you." Jia Xu's heart moved, and he quickly invited Dong Yuan to the hall. The two of them sat down as the guest of honor, and the maid offered tea and stepped back.

Dong Yuan asked: "When I entered the city, I saw a lot of cavalry robbing Luoyang big households. Is Dad really leaving Luoyang for Chang'an?"

Jia Xu nodded and frowned, "Not only that. The Taishi is also going to drive all the people to Chang'an, and then burn Luoyang City."

auzw.com Dong Yuan hurriedly said: "My eldest brother asked me to ask my husband to dissuade my father from destroying Luoyang." Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "General Yingyang is too worthy of me! I have already seen this. I tried it, but Taishi doesn't listen to me at all." She raised her head to look at Dong Yuan and said: "The young lady should understand the character of Taishi. Once Taishi decides, no one can change it! Whoever tries There is only a dead end to change! In fact, several people have already been beheaded and ransacked by the Taishi for trying to dissuade the Taishi! The Taishi has decided to abandon Luoyang and move to Chang'an, and no one can change this now."

Dong Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Sir, since it can't be changed, can you persuade Dad not to move the people of Luoyang and not to return to Chang'an?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, and asked instead: "Is this what General Yingyang meant?"

Dong Yuan nodded, and handed the memorial that Chen Lang had given her to Jia Xu, and said, "This is the memorial that the eldest brother wants to give to Daddy. Please take a look at it."

Jia Xu quickly got up and walked to Dong Yuan, taking the memorial with both hands. Open it, read it again, with a thoughtful look on his face, and nodded: "If you say this, you may be able to change the mind of the Taishi, but it is not easy to say what the result will be!" Looking at Dong Yuan, he clasped her fist and said, "I will. Do as General Yingyang hopes, but there is no hope for this, because the Taishi is afraid that he will not risk that the wealthy Luoyang may fall into the hands of the princes of the East! Please go back and tell General Yingyang, Ruo The Taishi’s mind cannot be changed, so please don’t fall in love with the stack and retreat in time to go to Chang'an."

Dong Yuan nodded, stood up, clasped her fists and said, "Farewell." Jia Xu bowed in return. Dong Yuan went in a hurry.

Dong Yuan hurried back to Bangshuiguan and told Chen Lang what Jia Xu had said. Chen Lang frowned, only hoping that Dong Zhuo could be persuaded to change his mind.

Dong Yuan said: "Mr. Jia Xu also said that if his father's mind cannot be changed, he must not fall in love with the eldest brother, and he must evacuate from Bangshuiguan to Chang'an in time."

Chen Lang's heart moved, feeling that Jia Xu seemed to have something in his words.

Later that day, a personal soldier led a servant of the wind and dust rushed in, clasped his fist and said, "General, the messenger of the Great Master is here." Chen Lang's heart moved, and he stood up, greeted him, and bowed his fist. : "Gong Taishi." The messenger took out a small wooden box and handed it to Chen Lang with both hands. Chen Lang took the wooden box, picked up the mud seal, opened the wooden box, and took out the letter from the Taishi. In fact, the so-called Taishi letters were basically done by Li Ru. Dong Zhuo was illiterate, so where would he write any letters?

Chen Lang unfolded the letter paper and read it again, and said joyfully: "Great!" Then he said to the messenger: "Please report to the Taishi for me, I will not let the Taishi down!" The messenger clasped his fists and promised.

Dong Yuan asked curiously: "What did Daddy say?"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "The Taishi accepted my request. Although the Taishi still planned to move the capital, it dispelled the idea of ​​relocating the people and ruining Luoyang. It made me take full responsibility for the defense of Luoyang, and all the officers and soldiers of the former Yulin Army were transferred to my subordinates. To help defend Luoyang."

Dong Yuan was overjoyed, and then worried again.

The messenger said to Dong Yuan: "The Taishi still needs to tell the young lady, so that she will return to Luoyang immediately and go to Chang'an with the Taishi."

Dong Yuan said unhappily, "I don't want to go to Chang'an! Go back and tell daddy that I will guard Luoyang with my eldest brother!" The messenger responded and went down.

Chen Lang said, "Actually, you should go to Chang'an with Taishi."

Dong Yuan asked annoyedly: "Don't you like me being with me?"

Chen Lang smiled bitterly: "This is not a question of whether you like it or not... Doesn't your stay here worry Taishi?"

Dong Yuan said in an angry manner: "I have to stay here for whatever I say, unless you kill me!"

Chen Lang rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "How am I willing!" Dong Yuan was overjoyed, hugged Chen Lang's arm, and kissed his cheek. Chen Lang felt that Dong Yuan's enthusiasm was stronger than those of Western women.

A day later, Yuan Shaojun under Baoshuiguan re-launched an offensive. Although the offensive was fierce, it was obviously no longer the previous vigor. However, even so, it still brought great pressure to Chen Lang and the others. After all, the huge number of troops lay in There. As the war was in full swing, a scout on a fast horse flew into Bangshuiguan from the back door of Baoshuiguan. He brought a very bad news to Chen Lang that Hulao Pass was lost! Fan Si has led the defeated soldiers and fled to the northwest! Sun Jian and other princes of the Nine Roads have passed through the Hulao Pass and headed towards Luoyang City to kill! When Chen Lang suddenly heard the news, he couldn't help being taken aback. He originally thought that Fan Si would still be able to resist for at least three or four more days. With this time, he could make some arrangements to fight with the coalition forces, but he didn't expect him. It was so quickly defeated!
