In the fourth year, the most shocking thing in the world was that Liu Xie, the Han Xian Emperor who had disappeared for four years, came back to be his emperor. Lu Bu strongly suspected that Liu Xie came back just to change his reign name: he followed in the first year of Chuping Wang Yue left, and when he came back, he immediately changed the reign name to the first year of Xingping!
A landless Luoyang would naturally not attract the attention of the princes, but it would be different if there was Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty...
Yuan Shao of Jizhou was ready to make a move, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou felt that Cao Mengde could help the world again. The most creative people are Li Jue and Guo Si who occupy Yongzhou. First of all, they are the closest to Luoyang. Secondly, Luoyang is basically undefended. Once Luoyang is captured, can they become the next Dong Zhuo?
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie returned to Luoyang, but it was not that he did nothing:
He named Lu Bu, the Marquis of the Pojun Army, as the Great General to Protect the Country. He was placed above the Three Divisions and led You and merged the two states;
Granted Yuan Shao the title of Jizhou Mu;
Kong Rong was added as Qingzhou Mu;
Cao Cao was granted the title of Yanzhou Mu;
Liu Biao was granted the title of Jingzhou Mu;
Granted Yuan Shu the title of Yangzhou Mu;
...
As long as it is an established fact, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie will recognize it. In addition, Liu Xie also recognized the existence of Yongzhou, but it is worth pondering that among the fourteen states in the world, only Yongzhou has neither a governor nor a state pastor.
Although Li Jue and Guo Si's military group were headed by Li Jue and Guo Si was the deputy, there were also former generals from Dong Zhuo's tribe, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who had considerable real power in the military. Li Jue is the strongest because he still has the foundation of the original Flying Bear Army. Three thousand Flying Bear Army can fight 30,000. And Jia Xu is now working under Li Jue. As Li Jue's most valued top advisor, there is no doubt that Jia Xu has a high level of cultivation in the sea. On the night of Li Ru's death, Jia Xu went to Guanhai overnight. Because the eyes of the world were on Lu Bu, the Marquis of Pojun, few people knew what Jia Xu had done.
What did Jia Xu do?
Jia Xu really wanted to kill Lu Bu, otherwise Li Jue and Guo Si would not have been able to gather all their troops so quickly and launch a fierce attack on the Bingzhou army overnight. The only thing that makes Jia Xu feel regretful is that Lu Buqiang went too far and defeated 10,000 flying bears with 300 men trapped in the formation;
When Lu Bu withdrew and left the empty city of Luoyang, it was Jia Xu who suggested that Li Jue should not act rashly and occupy the land of Sizhou and Liangzhou to establish Yongzhou, and make Chang'an the seat of Yongzhou.
Now Li Jue and Guo Si came to listen to Jia Xu's opinion again. In fact, Jia Xu also had a headache. The little emperor was clearly setting a trap for Li Jue and Guo Si. Now they had only two choices: First, in the name of protecting the emperor, they sent troops to Luoyang and once again brought Luoyang under the iron heel of the Xiliang army. The benefits are obvious. As high as Dong Zhuo climbed, Li Jue and Guo Si could climb as high. The disadvantages are also obvious. No matter how badly the Prime Minister fell, Li Jue and Guo Si would fall badly. Secondly, they should stand still and observe the general trend of the world. During this period, they could also try to contact Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Jizhou Yuan Shao. , Yanzhou Cao Cao. If Jia Xu's calculations were correct, even without the appearance of the Little Emperor, Lu Bu's next target choice would have been the Xiliang Army, his old enemy. Now with the support of the little emperor's righteousness, this process has been accelerated.
Jia Xu gave two strategies. The first was to contact the princes, and the second was to go straight to Luoyang.
When the two strategies were given, Jia Xu knew that the sacrifice of Li Jue and Guo was over, because it was difficult to describe what the Xiliang army had done in the past four years. When there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, they internally digested the food that was supposed to help the people; when there was a severe drought across the country this year, and because the army did not have enough food, Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou did not listen to Jia Xu's words and allowed the army to plunder the people of Chang'an.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie chose this year to return because he saw millions of people in Guanzhong starved to death and fled. At this time, the emperor needed to rule the world and let the emperor of Han exert his mighty virtue at home again. The two lackeys of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, were the first steps Emperor Xian of Han used to establish his authority. This time, Liu Xie will die in Luoyang!
Well, Li Jue contacted Ma Teng and Han Sui to discuss dealing with Lu Bu together. As a result, before Lu Bu came, Ma Teng and Han Sui's army of thieves was assembled first...
Obviously, Li Jue adopted the best strategy first and contacted the princes to fight against Lu Bu. However, the princes wanted the lives of Li Jue and Guo Si more than Lu Bu. After learning that Ma Teng and Han Sui had sent troops, Li Jue made up his mind completely: "For the present plan, the only solution is Luoyang!"
Guo Si also agreed with this decision. To this day, he still cannot forget the happy days when he followed the Prime Minister in Luoyang: "I also have the same intention!"
Chang'an couldn't stay any longer. The food provided to relieve the victims in Chang'an City was almost eaten up by the Xiliang army. As for what the people eat, Li Jue and Guo Si don't care. However, if Luoyang is to be taken back, Chang'an cannot be lost just like that. There must be capable people to stay in Chang'an. The soldiers under Li Jue were so hungry that they were about to eat people, and Guo Si was no exception, so it was impossible for Li Jue and Guo Si to stay. In the end, Fan Chou was retained and 30,000 Xiliang troops guarded Chang'an. Because of the relationship between Fan Chou and Han Sui from the same hometown, Li Jue deliberately kept his nephew Li Li in the army and killed Fan Chou immediately if anything happened.
A mighty 130,000 Xiliang army marched to Luoyang, claiming to be 230,000. For a time, Luoyang was in danger!
The little emperor has grown a lot. It seems that he has been more than just Wang Yue's teacher in the past four years. Liu Xie appointed Lu Bu as the general who protects the country, leading You and merging two states. And the attitude is very ambiguous. It seems that as long as Lu Bu captures Yongzhou and takes over the three states, it is not impossible. Is this a good thing? If this is not good, nothing good will happen in the world.
But if Lu Bu really did this, he would first have to fight with Xiliang and face the consequences of losing troops and generals. Secondly, Lu Bu would lead the three states on his own. Even if the princes were to shrink back, they would be unable to bear it.
However, the little emperor underestimated Lu Bu too much. From the beginning, his opponent was not a certain prince, but the entire world. The so-called Xiliang Army is just a knife used by Lu Bu to train the wolf riders.
230,000 Bingzhou troops, 3,000 in formation, 100,000 wolf cavalry, and 130,000 elite soldiers.
Among them, Zhang Liao took away 30,000 wolf cavalry and trained his troops in Xianbei and Wuhuan in the east. Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and Cheng Lian led 10,000 elite soldiers to control the border between Youzhou and Jizhou;
Among them, Gao Shun's 40,000 wolf riders and 100,000 elite soldiers guarded Bingzhou in case of any eventuality;
Among them, the eight generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng each led 10,000 wolf cavalry to surround Chang'an;
Lu Bu's order is very simple. Zhang Liao, train your troops well, and Gao Shun, guard your home well. As for Youzhou, just lose it. Lu Bu sent 30,000 troops to show that he didn't care. In other words, Lu Bu was "seduce" Yuan Shao: I only have 30,000 people here. Why don't you come? Come and fight. !
Whether to seduce or not is Lu Bu's problem, and whether he takes the bait or not is Yuan Shao's problem. At this time, Lu Bu had already rushed to the imperial capital Luoyang with three thousand troops...
...
Lu Bu is here, Po Jun is here in person!
Regarding this matter, Jia Xu was too lazy to communicate with Li Jue and Guo Si. With Jia Xu's sea-viewing cultivation, Jia Xu could detect Po Jun's high-speed movement almost all the time unless Lu Bu took the initiative to cut off contact with Po Jun. According to this speed, Lu Bu arrived in Luoyang half a day earlier than Li Jue and Guo Si.
Jia Xu has a very abnormal mentality. When he saw Lu Bu for the first time, he thought how could there be such a domineering person in the world: I really want to kill him, I really want to kill him!
