163: Soldiers approaching the city, what to do!

Besides, Liu He's army traveled through the starry night, and finally in the early morning of the third day, they felt that they were camping in a small village ten kilometers away from the city wall outside Luoyang.

It is said to be a village, but after knowing that the three passes were lost one after another, Dong Zhuo sent his henchmen to lead the army to clear all the villages around Luoyang.

The villagers were all arrested, their food was taken away, and even their houses were burnt down.

The place where Liu He and others were stationed had long since become ruins.

At ten noon, Liu He waited for Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's messengers, saying that the other two armies had also arrived at the designated positions, and they were only waiting for the command of the leader of the alliance.

Liu He did not delay any longer, and immediately gathered the generals and began the military discussion.

It is a pity that Dong Zhuo has been strictly guarding the inner and outer city since he went to Luo.

The coalition forces could not get any latest information about Luoyang, and the surrounding area was completely cleared away. Even a villager who was familiar with Luoyang could not be found. Everything could only rely on inference and guesswork.

This situation made Han Fu, Cao Cao and others very uneasy.

The most taboo in war is to open your eyes and be blind!

Liu He had nothing to do about it. Although he had the courage to rely on the system, he didn't have superpowers and couldn't see the situation in the city with his clairvoyant eyes.

At this time, Xun You took the initiative to ask for an interview, saying that 05 people in Luoyang City escaped at night and waited for the arrival of the coalition forces in the mountains early, bringing the latest information in the city.

Of course Liu He was overjoyed and immediately ordered Xun You to bring people over.

The person who came was named Yang You, who claimed to be a servant of Situ Yang Biao's house. He learned that the coalition army was attacking Luoyang in a big way, and was ordered by Yang Biao to find an opportunity to escape from the city and report the news to the coalition army.

Liu He and others knew about Yang Biao, but they didn't know if there was really a servant named Yang You in Yang Biao's house.

But since Xun You brought the person here, it means that the person's identity is no problem.

Liu He couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on in Luoyang City, tell me quickly! 35

"Yes." Yang You knelt down and kowtowed, and said in shock, "Just two days ago, Dong Zhuo suddenly ordered to cleanse the rebels in the city. After arresting a lot of people, the city was full of blood, and the villain finally found an opportunity to buy it. The guard at the city gate slipped out quietly in the middle of the night.

Purge rebellion, at this time?

Liu He looked at Cao Cao subconsciously and found that Cao Cao was also confused.

"Under the pressure of the army, Dong Zhuo still has the mind to cleanse, isn't he afraid of unrest?" Han Fu asked before Liu He, relying on his official position, "What is going on?35

Yang You was clearly prepared, and answered Han Fu's questions fluently: "I heard that Hu Zhen from Hulao Pass came back, and told Dong Zhuo that the reason why Hulao Pass fell was because after Lu Bu was captured, Lu Bu's former subordinate refused to accept Hu Zhen. When the situation was critical, he took the opportunity to create chaos, which led to the capture of Hulao Pass."5

"It was also said that Lu Bu had long been dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo. After he was arrested, his subordinates were very dissatisfied because Dong Zhuo did not go to rescue him.

"Dong Zhuo was furious and started a clean-up of Lu Bu's old department, but all Lu Bu's cronies, or people related to them, were arrested and killed, and hundreds of people died overnight!"

Hundreds may not sound like much, but in the circle of "military generals", that would be a terrifying number.

As soon as Liu He heard it, four words suddenly appeared in his mind - borrowing the title to play!

To say that Lu Bu himself chose to betray after being arrested, Dong Zhuo probably would not doubt it. After all, Lu Bu had a criminal record, and he was simply tempted by him to kill his last "foster father" Ding Yuan.

But it should be said that in the absence of exact instructions from Lü Bu, his old minions would conspire to rebel against Dong Zhuo.

Just because the general was arrested and Dong Zhuo was unwilling to send troops to rescue him?

This is a little too absurd!

Rescue is not so simple, not to mention that the coalition forces are now in an absolutely favorable situation.

Even if Dong Zhuo is not in a situation where he cannot protect himself, he is not leisurely enough to save a adopted son who was defeated and captured alive!

What's more, this information came from a defeated general who lost Hulao Pass and fled back in embarrassment!

If it was just because of Hu Zhen's words, when Dong Zhuo was attacked by the army, he would purge himself regardless of the hidden danger of instability in the army.

If he was so stupid, he wouldn't have been able to control Luoyang with three thousand troops!

"This is killing people with a knife." Cao Cao said suddenly, "It is well known that Dong Zhuo is afraid of Lu Bu, and this incident is just an excuse for him."

"After the cleaning, we can push Hu Zhen out as a scapegoat to vent the anger of the frightened soldiers!"

Xun You nodded slowly: "Depending on Dong Zhuo's brutal temper, he did such a thing."

Obviously, everyone has the same idea.

Liu He still felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it.

The instability in Luoyang City is definitely good news for the coalition forces.

"And what's the situation with the guards?"

Yang You hurriedly said: "Lord Situ has already found out, the Xiliang troops in the city are either sent to guard the ministers in the court, or patrol around the city. 35

"The one in charge of defending the city is the 30,000 Imperial Army under His Majesty's command, and the 80,000 infantry that Dong Zhuo forcibly recruited. The defender is Hu Zhen, who will have full authority to arrange the city's defense."5

"The people in the city, Ding Zhuang, were also caught up against the city wall. No weapons were issued, and they were likely to be used as human shields!"

"And those servants in the palace were also forced to come out by Hu Zhen using the excuse of insufficient defending troops, and they were all rushed to the city wall."

Not even the servants?

Is Hu Zhen crazy?

Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

Liu He thought for a while, and then asked with anticipation: "You came out specially, do you have a map of the city defense of Luoyang?"

Yang You shook his head: "The thieves are really closely guarded, and the little ones don't dare to bring other things on their bodies. However, the guards are arranged, and my master has made the little people remember them in his mind early, so he can draw them.

"Okay!" Liu He waved his hand to call for his own soldiers, "Arrange a tent for this strong man, prepare ink and brush, and let the strong man rest well after the painting is done.

After Yang You completed his mission, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to go down with a thousand thanks.

Halfway through, I suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Little one almost forgot one thing, my Situ has something to bring to the prince!"

"Situ said that Dong Zhuo was insane. When he was in the imperial court two days ago, he actually proposed to let His Majesty go on the expedition in person. He wants His Majesty to go to the city wall to supervise the battle and boost morale!"

"What?!" Cao Cao's face changed greatly, he rushed down in three steps and grabbed Yang You's collar, "How dare Dong Thief do this!?

Yang You was out of breath, and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, but Situ and the other adults argue that Dong Zhuo does not dare to be too presumptuous... But Situ said that if the war situation is not favorable for him, Dong Zhuo is very likely to force it, please Sir, be prepared!

How to guard against this!

Liu He suddenly had one head and two big.
