Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    These dead people were either the enemy's soldiers or his own soldiers. The constant pressure of this situation made Wenhan gradually numb.  But numbness does not mean that Wenhan is not heartbroken.  But Wenhan understood a truth. If he wanted to end this situation, the only way was for the world to be stable and the troubled times to end.  Otherwise, tens of thousands of people would still die in the flames of war every day in this world.

    However, nowadays, the world is still far away from peace and the end of the troubled times seems to be far away.

    After Wenhan captured Tongguan, he seized every minute and every second to prepare for a more intense and even tragic war in the future.  Dong Zhuo knew that Tongguan was lost, so he would definitely send a large army to attack. The number of soldiers and horses in this army must be enough to make Wen Han frightened.  Moreover, Wen Han cut off the retreat, and the offensive of these soldiers and horses was absolutely crazy and violent.

    In order to defend Tongguan, buy time for the righteous army to break through Luoyang, and prevent Dong Zhuo from moving the capital.  Wenhan tried every means to prepare.  He ordered his soldiers to cut down the surrounding trees, and then smashed the rocks around the mountains to collect large stones.  There are many arrows hidden in Tongguan, more than 100,000 of them.  Although Wenhan knew that this quantity was far from enough, he couldn't complain at the moment, so he had to try his best to collect defensive objects such as rolling logs and large rocks to make up for it.

    At the same time, while the soldiers were smashing rocks to get rocks, Wenhan made a shocking discovery that made him excited and excited.  Many soldiers actually smashed out sulfur mines!  !

    Sulfur is a low-toxic and dangerous chemical, but its steam and the sulfur dioxide produced after burning sulfur are highly toxic to the human body!

    And it can also be absorbed through the human body¡¯s nasal cavity and skin.  When excess sulfur enters the human intestine, most of it will be rapidly oxidized into non-toxic sulfur compounds and then excreted from the body through the kidneys and intestines.  However, free hydrogen sulfide that has not been oxidized will have a toxic effect on the body. Once too much sulfur is inhaled, dizziness, fatigue, and vomiting will occur.

    Wenhan held two pieces of sulfur ore in his hands, with a complicated expression in his eyes, filled with joy and unbearable. But when he saw the soldiers around him and thought of the hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people who would die if Dong Zhuo succeeded in moving the capital, he finally made up his mind.  determined.  Let these soldiers collect these sulfur ores in large quantities.

    While Wenhan was preparing nervously and orderly, on the other side, Dong Zhuo had already asked the first wave of hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people to leave Luoyang and rush to Chang'an.  Dong Zhuo has made preparations for moving the capital, and wants to move all the people of Luoyang within the next three days. Finally, he takes Emperor Xian of Han and all the officials of the court to leave.

    In Luoyang, in the pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

    "Wen You, have you collected all the cultural relics and jewelry that can be taken away from Luoyang?"

    Dong Zhuo was playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand. He was surrounded by green and golden jade and gold objects. These were all treasures he had snatched from the Luoyang Palace.

    "My lord, I have patrolled the palace several times, and I have asked people to take away all the treasures that can be taken away. Unfortunately, there are still many bulky treasures that are difficult to take away. I had to give the thieves an advantage.  ¡±

    "Hmph. Taking advantage of them? Don't worry, Wen You, they won't get a single line of work in Luoyang City. After three days, all the people in Luoyang will move away. I will have people set fire to burn Luoyang to the ground! They tried their best, and finally  It¡¯s just a dead city with no people and nothing!¡±

    Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly flashed with a sinister light, and Li Ru was frightened as he listened, secretly thinking that if Dong Zhuo really set fire to Luoyang, then he would definitely be spurned by future generations and become a sinner with infamy for thousands of years!

    ¡°My lord, is it okay to burn down Luoyang?!

    Li Ru swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva and opened his mouth to dissuade Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly, his eyes bursting with hatred, and said in a vicious voice.

    "This matter is not negotiable!! These thieves have forced the Prime Minister's country to move its capital. The Prime Minister's country wants to eat its flesh and drink its blood. How can we leave these treasures to them! No one can even dream of getting what the Prime Minister's country cannot get!  !

    Hum hum!  !  I would like to see how frightened Luoyang City looked when these thieves saw it after the fire!  "

    Li Ru closed his eyes in grief. He was willing to poison the Han Emperor and the Queen Mother He for Dong Zhuo, because it would be beneficial to Dong Zhuo's overall situation.  But burning Luoyang would not only bring Dong Zhuo great notoriety, but also arouse the anger of the people in the world.  It can be said that it does a lot of harm to Dong Zhuo but no benefit at all.

    However, Dong Zhuo is now consumed by hatred and cannot listen to his advice.

    "Report~! Report~!!!"

    Not long after Dong Zhuo's crazy roar fell, a panicked and urgent voice came from outside the pavilion.  Dong Zhuo frowned, and then he saw the guards of his mansion running out of the pavilion door with a very embarrassed Liangzhou soldier with disheveled armor, covered in blood.

    "How unbecoming is it that there is such a panic in the Prime Minister's Mansion! What is going on? Report it quickly!!"

    ?When the Liangzhou soldier, who was covered in blood, heard Dong Zhuo's violent shouts, his face was full of horror and fear, but he knew that if he concealed it and did not report it, when the matter was exposed, not only himself, but also his Liangzhou family members would suffer.  There is no escape from death!

    "Prime Minister~ Lord Prime Minister! Three days ago, Tongguan was attacked. Two generals, Wang Fang and Li Meng, were killed. Tongguan and Tongguan were lost!!"

    In Dong Zhuo's mind, there was a bang, as if a huge thunder suddenly struck down.

    Dong Zhuo first looked horrified, then disbelieving, and then burst into violent rage.

    "What!! Say it again!!! What happened to Tongguan!!!"

    Dong Zhuo's hysterical roar shook the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the Liangzhou troops patrolling outside could clearly feel Dong Zhuo's endless anger.

    ¡°Die, lose, lose!!¡±

    The soldier was so frightened that his tongue was tied and he wanted to put his head on the ground.

    With a swish sound, Dong Zhuo pulled out the sword from his waist, as if an angry bull wanted to kill the soldier.

    "My lord, wait a minute!! This soldier cannot be killed!! We don't know yet!!!!"

    " Halfway through Li Ru's words, he opened his eyes and saw a pool of blood flying out, followed by a head rolling to the ground.

    Dong Zhuo's fat body was shaking violently, but he still couldn't forgive his hatred, and he slashed at the soldier's corpse again. Blood and flesh spattered suddenly, and the sound of the blade made Li Ru's heart palpitate.

    ¡°Damn it!!! Damn it!!!!¡±

    After Dong Zhuo chopped the corpse into pieces, he rushed out in a few steps and stepped on the head of the human body, trampling it violently.

    An anger that seemed to be able to burn the sky spread out from the Prime Minister's Mansion in an instant, and soon enveloped the entire Luoyang City.  The people of Luoyang who had not yet moved out, including all the officials in the court, who heard Dong Zhuo's roar, could not help but tremble with fear, fearing that Dong Zhuo would go on a killing spree again!

    "Tongguan is lost!!! How can the prime minister move his capital? How can he move his capital!!!"

    Dong Zhuo picked up two more pieces of jade and smashed them to the ground. There were pieces of jade and gold in the pavilion. Countless priceless treasures were smashed to pieces by Dong Zhuo.

    Dong Zhuo has been mad for half an hour, but his anger has not weakened a little.  It can be seen that the loss of Tongguan was a serious blow to him.

    "My father-in-law! My father-in-law!!! There must be no chaos at this time! No chaos!! Now Jiguan has not been conquered by Yuan Shao, and although Cao Cao has captured Hulao Pass, there is still Marquis Wen leading 30,000 Liangzhou sons in Luoyang  Fight with them hundreds of miles away, so we still have time to take back Tongguan!"

    Listening to Li Ru's roar, Dong Zhuo stopped suddenly. His evil eyes were blood red, like an irrational demon looking at Li Ru.

    "But time is already tight, and the war situation is ever-changing. Cao Cao may arrive at Luoyang City at any time! How much time do we have to recapture Tongguan!!"

    "Five days, if we can recapture Tongguan within five days, we can still have time to move the capital. We can only take away half of the people in Luoyang, and let the others fend for themselves!"

    ¡°Recapture Tongguan in five days!!?¡±

    Dong Zhuo narrowed his blood-red evil eyes and tensed his body. All the fat in his body seemed to be shrinking.

    "Is this possible?! Tongguan Pass is no less dangerous than Hulao Pass, the most dangerous pass in the world!"

    "Lord, although I don't know where the news about our intention to move the capital was leaked. But if my guess is right, the number of troops attacking Tongguan will not be many. At most, it will be about 10,000 people. If we send 50,000  The army, give them a military order before setting off, and let them fight to the death. Five days will be enough to defeat them! "

    Dong Zhuo exhaled several hot breaths, his eyes flashing, and finally gathered his thoughts, and asked Li Ru coldly with a dark face.

    "So, who does Wenyou think is worthy of this important task?"

    "Li Jike, the captain of the Sili school, deserves a great responsibility!"

    "Li Ji? His talent is mediocre. Didn't Wen Youru always think less of him?"

    "Li Ji is indeed mediocre, but the Prime Minister has forgotten that his army commanders Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe are ten times more intelligent than me!"

    "Oh. If it weren't for Wen You's reminder, the Prime Minister would have almost looked at this person. To think that Jia Xu is so highly praised by Wen You, his talent must be quite high. Okay, just follow Wen You's words, Wen You, you can go down right now  Pass the command to the Prime Minister, and send Li to lead 50,000 troops from now on. All those who send out troops must issue military orders. If they cannot capture Tongguan within five days, they will all come to see you!"

    "Confucianism, take the order!"

    Li Ru bowed his hands and bowed to Dong Zhuo.After receiving the order, he turned around and left quickly.

    It was night, and there was a surge of people and horses in Luoyang. Soldiers and horses with cold expressions rushed out from the gate of Luoyang.  These Liangzhou soldiers all have military orders, as if they have made a contract with the God of Death. The result of the battle within five days is related to their lives.  Therefore, these soldiers and horses were all running as fast as they could, rushing towards the Tongguan area in a swarm.

    Under the leadership of Li Cui, the 50,000 Liangzhou army marched straight to Tongguan without stopping, with few breaks.  Two days later, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain in Tongguan.

    Li urged his troops to go down to the stronghold, allowing the army to rest and recharge their batteries in preparation for tonight's battle.

    In Jia Xu¡¯s tent.

    Li Cui and Jia Xu were sitting opposite each other. Li Cui's expression was as tense and anxious as if his brows were burning, which was in sharp contrast to the calm Jia Xu opposite him, whose face was calm and unmoved.

    "Wen He, now that we all have military orders, we must take Tongguan. Otherwise, we will lose our heads. Please stop hiding your clumsiness and make some suggestions for me to capture Tongguan!"

    "The terrain of Tongguan is steep, but this army and horses were able to capture Tongguan by surprise. I think this leading general has a good strategy. But now that our army is pressing down on the pass, I think there are not many soldiers and horses, and this leading general is also  They are not ignorant people, so they will never attack rashly, they will only stay at the pass.

    So, there is nothing I can do.  General Li, now we have an army of 50,000, and all the officers and men have military orders. How can it be unreasonable to fight with our backs against the enemy?

    Although General Li will lead the attack, I will observe the battle from the sidelines. If there is a plan, I will naturally take action.  "

    Hearing that Jia Xu was willing to take action, Li Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and his originally uneasy heart calmed down.

    "Seriously!?"

    "It's a matter of my life. If I don't take action, will I die?"

    Jia Xu had an expression of indifference as a matter of course. Li Jie nodded heavily and bowed to Jia Xu with great respect.

    "In this case, I would like to thank Wenhe here first."

    But Jia Xu didn¡¯t respond and closed his eyes to rest.  Li Jiu was also lifeless, stood up, left Jia Xu's tent, and began to prepare for the night battle.
