Chapter 41: Chaos (4)
After Yan Bin escorted the Shao Emperor and King Chenliu back to the Luoyang Palace, he refused all social engagements and immediately returned to the military camp outside the city. He also sent people to send two military orders back to Youzhou, and one to Taishi Ci, who temporarily commanded Zhao Yun's troops, asked him to lead 4,000 light cavalry to Luoyang day and night to meet him; one to Gan Ning, the commander of Youzhou Navy, asked him to lead 15 warships upstream from the Yellow River to ambush the Yellow River crossroads near Guandu to meet him. After sending the sender away, Yan Bin summoned Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, Wang Yue and Xu Shu for a meeting. "Everyone has seen the situation in the past two days, let's express their opinions and opinions."
"Third brother, Dong Zhuo is indeed a jackal. When he came to Luoyang, you may have really hit it. The fate of the Han Dynasty is about to come to an end."
Zhang Fei shouted, "Third brother, since Dong Zhuo is a bad thief, why don't we beat him? With our strength, we can pull them out by the roots."
Yan Bin smiled bitterly and said, "You think I don't want it, but there is no legitimate reason and no order from the court. If I kill an official of the same level as me without authorization, if it causes chaos in the world, then I will be the culprit? I can't afford this responsibility and I dare not take it."
Xu Shu said: "Lord, we can actually go back to Youzhou now."
Yan Bin thought for a while and shook his head: "I have waited until now. I won't try my best for the last time. I'm afraid I will regret it in the future."
Xu Shu nodded: "Yes, if you don't do your best, you will always be unwilling to give up. At present, we can completely suppress Dong Zhuo, but I don't know how much of his follow-up troops are? Although the lord has ordered two generals, Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, to lead troops, I don't know if they can compete with Dong Zhuo. So I suggest that we always be prepared to leave. And the lord should also notify your mentors to evacuate Luoyang."
Yan Bin nodded and asked Zhou Yu to go home first to inform Zhou Yi to prepare his bags. If the situation deteriorates, he could leave immediately. In the next few days, Yan Bin went to the teacher's house one by one to ask them to prepare. Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Zhang Wen, and Ma Rizhe agreed with Yan Bin's view and began to prepare for leaving if the situation in Luoyang deteriorates. However, Cui Yan and Wang Yun were unwilling to leave. It took them a long time to understand Yan Bin.
What they think. Cui Yan is an official fan, so he doesn't want to leave the center of power of the great man. Yan Bin was secretly funny. At that time, he would not even have his life to see how you become an official. However, he was looking for death himself, and Yan Bin had no choice but to go with him. Wang Yun's reason was that the more dangerous the country was, the more people needed to stand up, so he must not leave at such a critical moment. Yan Bin thought it was okay, if you left, no one would have used a series of plans in the future.
A few days later, the Bingzhou troops led by Ding Yuan also arrived in Luoyang. This time, Ding Yuan brought 5,000 people, 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry. Dong Zhuo saw that his troops were the weakest among the three major princes, and began to feel panic. At this time, his adviser Li Ru gave him an idea. He secretly pulled the army out of the barracks at night and returned to the barracks with great fanfare during the day. This gave people the illusion that new people would arrive every day. The people in Luoyang City slowly became awe of Dong Zhuo, who had a "large" number. Although Dong Zhuo stationed outside the city, he brought a large number of cavalry into the city every day and ran around the streets, and the people were in a panic. Moreover, many of Dong Zhuo's subordinates were barbaric.
The Qiang people often hunt outside Luoyang City. They also slaughtered the people outside Luoyang City, cutting their heads off and hanging them on their necks, claiming that they were the result of the bandit suppression. In fact, there may be bandits in the suburbs of the Han capital? The officials and civilians in Luoyang City were frightened. The bloody heads, the speeding horses, and the wielding swords made them seriously stimulating. Many officials also began to flatter Dong Zhuo and seek a way out for themselves. Yan Bin was angry. The practice of wanton massacre of the people completely touched Yan Bin's moral bottom line in his bones. So although Yan Bin was a little hesitant about whether to kill Dong Zhuo, he was not very polite to those Western Liang soldiers.
On that day, the scout sent by Yan Bin reported another song of Xiliang cavalry. Yan Bin quickly ordered 1,000 cavalry out of the camp to chase. In a small village 50 miles away from Luoyang City, Yan Bin's cavalry finally caught up with the Xiliang cavalry. The entire village was filled with the bodies of the killed people. Some of the Xiliang soldiers were busy searching for property, some were raping women, and some were making fun of killing people. Seeing the miserable scene in front of him, Yan Bin, whose eyes began to turn red, shouted loudly: "Kill all these beasts." Another massacre began, but the murdered were the murderers just now. After the 500 Xiliang cavalry were killed, Yan Bin thought to himself that the revenge had also formed, so he might as well kill Fatty Dong. Back at his camp, he pulled out all 2,500 people and rushed to the camp of Xiliang cavalry.
