Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 703 Expectation and despair

   As if agreed, the cloud of war seemed to follow the pace of winter, and quickly covered the entire land of China in the Han Dynasty.

  After the strange silence of the second year of Chuping, at the beginning of the third year of Chuping, there were small flames of war everywhere, and they were still expanding.

  Fang Yue, the well-known general in Hanoi, led the soldiers of Hanoi County, and went west to face the Yu Du Department of the Black Mountain Army.

Yudu, Suigu, and Bairao are the three major departments of the Black Mountain Army that extend like a fork to the south. Yudu is west of Hanoi, Suigu is in the south of Jizhou, and Bairao is pointing directly at Dongjun. There were many echoes, which once caused the surrounding counties a headache.

But the Bai Rao Department seemed to go too far in vain this time, and was trapped by Cao Cao's strategy to lure the enemy into a deep place, and was instantly crippled. A fork stretched out by the army broke the middle prong.

  But even if Bai Rao was defeated, Yu Du and Sui Gu were still extremely tyrannical, and it was precisely because of this that Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to return to the army to fight the Black Mountain Army, lest his own Jizhou lair be emptied out.

  Similarly, for Wang Kuang in Hanoi, he naturally received Yuan Shao's order to attack the Ministry of Poisons who is infesting in Hanoi.

  Fang Yue is from Hanoi, and his character is Wuji. He was seven feet and eight inches tall, but he was born with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary heroic spirit. At that time, there were often some bandits in Hanoi who guarded Taihang Mountain, which was rugged and changeable.

   Later Wang Kuang served as the prefect, so he enlisted Fang Yue to serve, and he was promoted from a military officer to a partial general, which can be regarded as a kind of favor.

  Since Fang Yue led the army, he has always fought against Yu Duduo, and he can be regarded as an old enemy.

  But it is precisely because he has been in charge of defending the Black Mountain Army, so the last time Wang Kuang was ordered by Yuan Shao to lead troops to station in Xiaopingjin, Fang Yue also failed to participate, and Han Hao, another general in Hanoi, led the army...

   Then Wang Kuang and Han Haojing were defeated by Dong Zhuo's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo didn't want to lead the army too far, so he retreated after winning, and Fang Yue couldn't help much.

   "Send the order, the scouts will go forward for thirty miles!" Fang Yue ordered.

  Fang Yue has a deep understanding of the cunning of poison.

Due to the numerous mountains and hills in Hanoi and the complex terrain, Yu Du never engaged in large-scale confrontation with Fang Yue. , but was also escaped by Yu Po, and Fang Yue had to be careful not to be ambushed by Yu Po.

  Fang Yue has longing, but has to face the helplessness in front of her.

  Fang Yue in Hanoi is just Fang Yue in Hanoi. Who would know when he left the land of Hanoi?

  Fang Yue couldn't help but look to the west, there was a young man who had gained fame in the past two years, and now his reputation has spread all over Hanoi...

  When will I be as famous as her?

  Maybe today, maybe this time!

   Now that I got the news, Yu Du came out of Montenegro again and came all the way to Hanoi. Fang Yue hoped that it would be determined by the first battle, and the Ministry of Poisons would be cleaned up thoroughly, and then...

  ×××××××××××××××××

  Across a big river, Zhu Jun on the other side of the river also had a headache and helplessness, but more of it was disappointment after anticipation, even despair...

   Li Jue and Guo Si led an army to attack, not far from Luoyang City.

  Although Luoyang City has been repaired one after another by Zhu Jun, it looks a little bit better, but the fire that covered the sky and the sun did cause too much damage to Luoyang City.

  Not to mention the wooden houses in the city, even the gate towers on the city wall were burnt down and collapsed, becoming a ruin and basically useless. The thick gates with copper nails and rivets inside the city gates were also completely damaged. Although a new one has been temporarily rebuilt, no matter from which aspect, it is completely different from the original gates of Luoyang City. do not.

  Although Li Jue and Guo Si led the army to attack Zhu Jun under Niu Fu's order, they did not act vigorously and resolutely. In addition, when winter came and the road was blocked by wind and snow, Li Jue and Guo Si stopped and stopped.

  However, no matter how long the road is, no matter how slow the footsteps are, there will always be a day to finish the journey. The coalition forces of Li Jue and Guo Si are less than 80 miles away from Luoyang, and they will be at the city in two days at most.

what to do?

  Zhu Jun stood on the head of Luoyang City, silent.

  The wind in early spring was still relatively cold, blowing Zhu Jun's cloak wildly.

Zhu Jun is very thin, and it seems that he has a physique that does not make him fat. Even if he became an important post in the court, he has never seen him gain weight. He has always had a thin body, and now he has gray hair. beard, looks even older.

   Zhu Jun doesn't have many troops.

Before he escaped from Luoyang alone, he originally wanted to go to Jingzhou, but then he heard that Dong Zhuo had withdrawn to Chang'an on the way and burned Luoyang to the ground. After two thousand soldiers, they returned to the uninhabited Luoyang City...

  On that day, Zhu Jun, who had never shed tears in his life since he could remember, knelt down in the mess of Luoyang Beigong and wept loudly, crying like a child who lost his parents.

  Bringing the recruits, Zhu Jun adjusted the former majesty of the Han Dynasty bit by bit, as if he wanted to collect and sort out the glory of the Han Dynasty from the ashes.

  Zhu Jun wrote a letter in his own hand and sent it to the surrounding governors and prefects, especially the two members of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, hoping that they could come to Luoyang and rebuild Luoyang City.

   Zhu Jun's expectation day by day is only disappointment day by day.

   Jizhou and Yuzhou, which are all within easy reach, seem to be surrounded by natural moats, only their voices are heard, but no one is seen.

   It was the other states and counties that sent some soldiers, horses, money and food, so that Zhu Jun could support Luoyang City. The state that sent the most soldiers, horses, food and grass is actually Xuzhou...

  Tao Qian sent 3,000 troops over, Liu Biao 800, Liu Dai 500, and some scattered counties ranging from one to two hundred.

   Zhu Jun didn't know whether he should continue to cry or laugh.

  If Luoyang City is intact, not to mention that Li Jue and Guo Bang only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if it is doubled, Zhu Jun will have the confidence to defend the city and fight against it, but now...

Zhu Jun looked around again, once again looked at the little appearance of Luoyang City that had just been sorted out, raised his old hand, patted the once extremely hot bricks and stones of the city, and sighed long With a sound, he said: "...an order, the whole army...withdraw...Luoyang..."

   Zhu Jun came from a humble family, while Lu Zhi and Huangfusong came from noble families...

   So after Lu Zhi contradicts Dong Zhuo, he can go back to his hometown...

   Huangfusong expressed his confession, so Dong Zhuo raised it high and gently lowered it...

   Only Zhu Jun could only escape from Luoyang, but he was the first one to return to Luoyang...

   With the remains of the prosperity of the past, Zhu Jun must be feeling desolate in his heart at this time...
