The world is weak and human feelings are evil
The rain sends the evening flowers falling easily
The morning breeze is dry, the tears are lingering
I want to write my heart's thoughts and speak alone on the slanting railing
Shen Ying led the troops to escort the Emperor and safely sent him back to the palace at dawn. After Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the others reorganized Luoyang, the city calmed down. After an inventory check, everyone realized that Empress Dowager He and Consort Tang had disappeared, and the Imperial Jade Seal had also disappeared. The losses in the palace were heavy, and countless people in Luoyang died in the chaos. Shen Ying stationed his troops at the south gate and then went into the palace to pay his respects to the emperor. During the morning court session, Shen Ying met him outside the palace. Wang Yun and others are familiar with people. In the court meeting that followed, Shen Ying took the lead and received the reward promised by the Young Emperor. The Marquis of Huainan, the General of the Eastern Expedition, the Governor of Shouchun, and all the other officials watched Shen Ying with envy. At this moment, a report came from outside the palace. The governor of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo, was leading an army outside the city to call for battle. He said that if they did not open the gates, they would attack the city. The ministers were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound. Shen Ying immediately reported,"Your Majesty, I'm willing to leave the city for a talk to calm the unrest of the Western Liang army. However, please go up to the city tower so that the army outside the city can see it. This way, they won't dare to attack the city openly. Otherwise, they will be rebelling.”
Cao Cao also said,"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Shen's words are reasonable."”The Young Empress could only say,"Yes!"”"I'll take my leave first and make my preparations," Shen Ying said.”Shen Ying went out of the palace gate and went straight to the south gate. When Shen Ying returned to the south gate, he immediately ordered the messenger to gather the entire army. He also changed into his armor. Shen Xin, Shen Hua, and Shen Dian's three teams had also returned and reported that everything had been carried out successfully according to plan. Shen Yu had already led his team back. Shen Ying said happily,"Go to Chen Hui and Dong Zhuo."”Shen Ying led his generals to the south gate drill ground. Seeing that the troops had already gathered, he immediately shouted from the platform,"Today is the first official battle since our Black Eagle Cavalry was founded. Today, you must show your courage and stab your bayonet into the enemy's heart.”After hearing Shen Ying's words, the 10,000 Black Eagle Cavalry raised their curved sabers high above their heads and shouted,""Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
Shen Ying saw that the morale of the troops was high and immediately gave the order,"Zhao Yun's 3,000 troops will be deployed on the right wing, Zhang He's 3,000 troops will be deployed on the left wing, and the rest of the generals will follow our central troops.”Shen Ying shouted,""Let's go. The ten thousand cavalry quickly split into three squads and galloped out of the city.”When Dong Zhuo's army outside the city saw the city gate open and the cavalry of Luoyang pouring out, they retreated three miles before they could hold their ground. Shen Ying led the four generals Xu Huang, Gao Lan, Ling Cao, and Zhao Yu behind him. They stopped in front of Dong Zhuo's army and Shen Ying shouted. Provincial Governor Dong's reply the last time shook the entire army. Hundreds of thousands of people seemed to have heard this shout.
After a while, more than ten riders rushed out of Dong Zhuo's army. One of them was a fat man with an ugly face. When Dong Zhuo was still a stone's throw away from him, Shen Ying spoke first,"Dong Zhuo, you led your troops to besiege the capital. Are you trying to rebel?”Shen Ying put on the hat of rebellion. Dong Zhuo hurriedly stopped his horse and shouted," Who are you? How dare you say that I'm rebelling? I'm here to protect you."”Shen Ying replied," I am the Marquis of Huainan, the General of the Eastern Expedition, and the Governor of Shouchun, Shen Ying. I am here to question His Majesty. Why don't you kneel down and receive His Majesty's orders?"”When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was shocked. When did the Marquis of Huainan appear? However, Dong Zhuo had the support of his army and said,"I request to lead the army into the city to protect His Majesty. How can I believe your empty words?”
"Dong Zhuo, how dare you defy the imperial edict? Are you really going to rebel? Can you see if His Majesty is fine on the city gate tower?" Shen Ying shouted.”Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard that. He saw the Young Empress standing tall on the city gate tower and couldn't help but panic. Shen Ying immediately shouted,"Why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty? Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"”Dong Zhuojun hurriedly knelt down and shouted,"Long live my Emperor! Long live my Emperor! Dong Zhuo saw his army kneel down, so he naturally knelt down obediently.”Shen Ying saw that Dong Zhuo's morale had been dealt a blow, so he immediately shouted,"All of you, get up! Retreat 50 miles and set up camp. Lord Dong, follow me to the capital to meet the emperor!”When Dong Zhuo heard that he had to meet the emperor alone, wasn't this asking for his life? He immediately discussed with his son-in-law, Li Ru. When Shen Ying saw them talking, he immediately shouted,"Dong Zhuo, are you going to defy the imperial edict again? Don't you know that defying the imperial edict will implicate your entire family?”Dong Zhuo made up his mind and said to Li Ru,""Let's charge over. As long as we kill this Shen Ying who appeared out of nowhere, we will have the final say in Luoyang.”Li Ru raised his head and looked at Shen Ying's army of 10,000 men, while he had 200,000 men. There was nothing wrong with taking a gamble, so he nodded. Shen Ying wanted to force Dong Zhuo to make a move so that he could take the initiative.
When Li Ru nodded, Shen Ying knew that Dong Zhuo had the intention to silence him, but he didn't panic. Dong Zhuo waved his hand and retreated to the center of the army. Then, his cavalry charged forward. Seeing this, Shen Ying shouted that the emperor had arrived. This time, his voice was even louder than before. The word 'emperor' was still very important at that time. When the Western Liang soldiers heard Shen Ying shouting that the emperor had arrived, their entire formation collapsed. Their morale also dropped a little. Some soldiers even jumped off their horses. Just as Shen Ying finished shouting, he waved his spear and shouted,"The entire army attacked, and the Black Eagle Cavalry charged over.”He was shouting to kill! Kill! The ten thousand Black Eagle Cavalry formed a sharp formation in three squads and charged straight at Dong Zhuo's central army. The morale of Dong Zhuo's army was greatly boosted. Seeing that Shen Ying's cavalry was all equipped with scimitars and moved as fast as lightning, the left and right wing troops panicked. They thought that they had encountered Xiongnu cavalry.
The Western Liang troops were famous for being afraid of the Xiongnu cavalry. As long as they saw the Xiongnu's scimitars and the speed of the cavalry, they would panic. In a battle with the Xiongnu, it was often ten to one before they could fight. (Just watch the TV series of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. As one of the greatest emperors in the past thousands of years, the Xiongnu cavalry was still a headache.）
Shen Ying's Black Eagle Cavalry used the formation technique of the Xiongnu cavalry, which was why the Western Liang soldiers scattered the moment they saw Shen Ying's troops. Shen Ying led the 10,000 Black Eagle Cavalry to chase after Dong Zhuo's central army, while Shen Ying and the Iron Guards charged at the front of the troops. Seeing the Western Liang troops retreat, the Black Eagle Cavalry shouted with great morale,"Kill! Kill!" Western Liang's cavalry was known as iron cavalry in the Great Han Dynasty, but when they encountered Xiongnu cavalry, they could only be called shrimp cavalry. Under the pursuit of the Shen Ying Cavalry, the Middle Corps quickly scattered and fled. The speed and ruthlessness of the Shen Ying Cavalry determined the victory of this battle, but it was not a complete victory. After all, there was a limit to the number of soldiers. It was impossible to scare the enemy and wipe them out. After chasing for ten miles, Shen Ying led the army back to kill, cleaning up the scattered soldiers of Western Liang along the way. Zhao Yun's right wing and Zhang He's left wing worked together, fighting valiantly and tacitly, contributing greatly to this battle.
After killing for a day, Shen Ying returned to Luoyang City and counted the results of the battle. He had killed more than ten thousand people and injured countless enemies. He had injured a hundred people, but none of them had died. During the meeting, Shen Ying said,"" We didn't win this battle. The reason I won was because the Western Liang soldiers suddenly wanted to retreat. We won't have such an opportunity again in the future battles, so we have to be mentally prepared for future casualties.”When the generals heard Shen Ying's words, they all felt that Dong Zhuo's retreat upon seeing his troops was just like what Shen Ying had said, a fluke.
On the day of the battle or after Dong Zhuo's army retreated 500,000 miles, Dong Zhuo scolded his generals in the tent for a while and then ordered them to leave. Then, he discussed with Li Ru about the reason for this failure. To be honest, Dong Zhuo was quite good at fighting. In order to ease Dong Zhuo's mood, Li Ru analyzed and said,"I don't know how this Shen Ying managed to train a troop of Xiongnu cavalry, but the reason why we lost was because of our fear of the Xiongnu soldiers, not because our combat strength was too weak. As long as we tell the soldiers about the enemy's deception, we still have a chance to defeat them.”"Then tomorrow you'll tell the generals to explain the matter to their soldiers. Then we'll go and fight again the day after tomorrow." Dong Zhuo said.”Report! The governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, has led an army of 60,000 to set up camp north of Luoyang, 60 li from us. When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru heard this, they were both shocked. Li Ru immediately said,"My lord, this Ding Yuan is extremely loyal to the Imperial Court. This time, we should go and meet him first. As long as we can subdue Ding Yuan, we will be even more confident in Luoyang.”
"Then we'll take him out first tomorrow," Dong Zhuo said."We'll let the Xi Liang men show off."”"No, I think tonight is the best opportunity to attack the camp. This way, we can catch him off guard. Then, we'll do this, and so on."”"Good!" Dong Zhuo said. It's indeed a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone. This way, we can completely solve these hidden dangers.
At this moment, Shen Ying from Luoyang City had also received Ding Yuan and arrived outside Luoyang City. After hearing this, Shen Ying happily said to Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and the others,"Generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun should have arrived as well. This is very beneficial for us. We will pay them a visit after the morning court session tomorrow. It would be best if we can persuade Provincial Governor Ding to garrison Luoyang.”Zhao Yun said,"My lord, with the character of General Zhang and General Gao, it should not be difficult to persuade them to enter the city to fight against the enemy together. However, I'm afraid that Governor Ding will not listen to us."”Zhang He said,"My lord, can you ask His Majesty for an imperial edict at tomorrow's morning court? Wouldn't it be fine if you personally go and recruit Governor Ding?"”Shen Ying said," That's a good idea. I'll go to Lord Wang's residence tonight to discuss it. When the time comes, as long as the officials in the court keep persuading him, His Majesty will definitely agree."”Shen Ying was only thinking about recruiting Ding Yuan into the city, but he forgot about Dong Zhuojun, which caused some good situations to reach a stalemate.
