After saying Li Ru's plan, Dong Zhuo led the army back to Luoyang, and Li Ru, Guo Yan and others said that they would offer the emperor's way, "The ministers saw the defeat of Luoyang, and it was difficult to be the Beijing division, so I specially asked Your Majesty to move Chang'an, Chang'an is rich, and it should be the Beijing division!" ”

"No!" Taichang Qing Chongfu, Tai Servant Lu Kui, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, City Gate Captain Cui Lie, and Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Qi all spoke out and persuaded, "Your Majesty, this is a thief's plan, Your Majesty must not follow it!" ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was resentful in his heart, beheaded the five people, and said, "Your Majesty! Please also move the shelves! ”

Emperor Xian was angry and frightened, seeing that all the officials in the court were showing fear, he was afraid to speak, and his heart was painful. Because he was afraid that the Kwantung army would arrive, he waved his army straight into the inner palace, Dong Zhuo immediately took Emperor Xian and hundreds of officials hostage, and ran to Chang'an overnight.

Li Ru looked at the defeated Luoyang and said, "In this way, Luoyang can no longer stay with the Kwantung Coalition Army!" Dong Zhuo obeyed, set fire to the city, and the people fled.

The raging fire burned for three days, as if to burn the cruel and rotten Han Dynasty clean, before it was slowly extinguished, and when the Kwantung coalition army arrived in Luoyang, their faces changed.

Looking at Luoyang again, the city is in ruins, there are countless corpses on the road, faintly emitting a little meat fragrance, the city is scorching, even the wind blowing is hot!

Let's say that Sun Jian flew to Luoyang, looking at the flames in the distance, black smoke covering the ground, two or three hundred miles, there were no chickens and dogs, and the princes each stationed military horses on the wasteland. Cao Cao came to see Yuan Shao and said, "Now that Dong is defeated, he coerced the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to go to Chang'an, and he can take advantage of the situation to pursue him; Why not move at the beginning? ”

Yuan Shao became the master of the alliance, and he was very proud in his heart, and when he heard Cao Cao's words, his face suddenly sank, and he said, "The soldiers are tired, and it is useless to advance." ”

Cao Cao said angrily, "The remnants of the Dong thieves burned the palace and robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shaken. I don't know where to go: when this day dies, the world is decided by a war. Why don't you doubt? ”

The princes looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and they all said that they should not be moved lightly.

Cao was furious and said: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!" Then he led more than 10,000 troops. Led Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, and the starry night to catch Dong Zhuo.

Besides, Dong Zhuo rushed all the way to Chang'an and went to Xingyang, where Xingyang Taishou personally went out of the city to greet him, and held a banquet to worship Dong Zhuo.

During the banquet, Li Su offered a plan and said: "Prime Minister." We will abandon Luoyang, the Kwantung Army will definitely have someone to chase, presumably there will only be a few soldiers and horses, when a short time can be called Xu Taishou to send ambush troops to the mountain dock outside Xingyang City, if there are chasing soldiers to chase, you can let go, we will send elite soldiers respectively after the prime minister, to defeat it, Xu Taishou can intercept and kill it all, so that the rest of the pursuers do not dare to attack. ”

This ploy came out. Dong Zhuo immediately appreciated that someone could relieve his worries, then he could rest assured and happy, and immediately ordered Lu Bu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan to lead an army to be deployed at the rear of the team, Lu Bu was the rear middle army, Li Dao was the rear left army, Guo Yan was the rear right army, and Xu Rong was a total of four armies.

This arrangement can be described as a precision arming, one is to prevent the pursuing army from bypassing a certain road and the rear army from catching up with Dong Zhuo, and the other is the deployment that seems to be flanking from the front and rear. Once the battle starts, an encirclement will be formed, and the pursuing troops of the Kwantung Alliance will not return.

After Dong Zhuo was on the road after a while of delicious food and drink in Xingyang, he couldn't wait to rush to Chang'an, after all, although there were heavy guards here. But there is still the threat of the chasing soldiers of the tiger and wolf division behind him, even if there are beautiful women and delicacies here, Dong Zhuo still feels that his heart is not solid enough, and after abandoning Luoyang, Chang'an is his safe place.

In the early morning of the next day, not long after Dong Zhuo raised his troops and left, Lu Bu broke off with his elite soldiers. On the silent official road behind him, from far to near, there were gradually bursts of dense horses' hooves and footsteps, just as Li Su expected, the pursuit of the princes and allies.

I saw Cao Cao wearing golden armor, wearing a golden helmet, hanging a red robe, looking so imposing, taking the lead, Xiahou brothers Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and many other fierce generals in the world followed closely behind him, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were also neatly distributed behind his generals.

After a quick journey, I walked into a woodland, with deep branches and lush leaves on both sides, and in this dark moonlight, the wind was like a swaying person, which seemed to make people feel a chill.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of him, blocking the footsteps of Cao Cao and the others, Cao Cao was suddenly shocked, and was just about to open his mouth to shout, how to wait for the black shadow on the opposite side to take the lead in speaking, "Sure enough, as Li Su expected, you and other horsemen also dare to lead troops to chase Xiangguo." The voice was strong and powerful, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Since the two soldiers met, their respective torches were also lit one after another, Cao Jun saw the enemy general clearly by the light of the moonlight and the light of the torches, and it was the flying general Lu Bu.

In the face of this peerless fierce general, who can be called the first in the world, Cao Cao not only did not have a trace of cowardice, but drove his horse forward, pointed at Lu Bu with a horse whip and shouted: "Traitor, you help the abuse, rob the Son of Heaven, exile the people, see where you are fleeing, don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly, when will you wait?" ”

Originally, Cao Cao's general insult was to slander the morale of the other party and give himself a measure to raise the morale of a righteous teacher, but Lu Bu was not an idle person, and he didn't look at Cao Cao's army at all, and scolded back: "You coward who betrays the lord, what qualifications do you have to speak wild here, without the Kwantung Coalition Army as your left and right arms, in my Lu Bu's eyes, it is just a mustard." ”

Xiahoudun was suddenly furious, and led his own soldiers and horses to shoot out with guns, and directly took Lu Bu, thinking that Xiahoudun was also a fierce general, although it was far from Lu Bu, but he was still able to insist on walking through several rounds under his men safely.

Cao Cao has always been caring, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass have always been reluctant to send their own fierce generals to fight, for fear that there will be three long and two short, these fierce generals are their only bargaining chips, and they cannot be lost. Although Xiahoudun knew that Lu Bu was brave, as a general, he thought that he was strong in force and had long wanted to compete with him, but before the two had too many opportunities to fight, he only heard a shout from not far away, and then countless fires broke out, and everyone was shocked.

It turned out that Li Dao led his soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress from the left, and in the face of this ambush of soldiers and horses, Cao Cao was suddenly a little flustered, and hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead his troops to meet the enemy. When Xiahou Yuan and Na Li Daogang were engaged together, another shout sounded from the right, and Guo Yan led another team of men and horses to outflank him, although Cao Cao was greatly panicked in his heart, he still calmly ordered Cao Ren to meet the enemy.

Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan three rounds of soldiers and horses, morale greatly increased, unstoppable, the more brave the more they fought, Xiahoudun and Lu Bu gradually couldn't resist, and they were worried about the safety of Cao Cao and others, and they were flustered and had no intention of fighting, so they left Lu Bu and rode back.

That Lu Bu was in a hurry to kill, and when he saw the duck in his mouth flying, he immediately led his elite iron cavalry to kill him, and Sergeant Cao Cao lost the ability to resist in the face of the killing god Lu Bu, and he collapsed in an instant, and the defeat was already decided.

Cao Cao hurriedly tried to gather the remaining men and horses, and retreated in the direction of Xingyang under the cover of Li Dian, Le Jin and several other loyal people.

It is better to get rid of the entanglement of the pursuers all the way to escape, the sergeants and horses are all exhausted, for the sake of safety, Cao Cao ordered to run for a mile or two to the foot of a mountain to rest, after a night of running, everyone felt a little hungry, and was preparing to burn a fire to cook.

Suddenly, there were shouts around, it was that Xu Rong led the troops to wait for a long time, Cao Cao hurriedly rode his horse and fled, but he didn't know where to flee, but he was bumping into that Xu Rong, and his outfit happened to expose Cao Cao's identity, Cao Cao was so frightened that he turned around and fled, but was shot in the arm by Xu Rong with an arrow.

In order to escape, Cao Cao didn't care about the pain at all, and he didn't have time to break the arrow, so he hurriedly fled with the whole arrow, and just ran to a hillside by several soldiers who had already been ambushed and shot at the horse at the same time, the horse neighed in pain and fell to the ground, Cao Cao also turned over and fell off the horse, and was captured by the soldiers.

Suddenly, a flying horse came, and the knife fell to kill those soldiers, and rescued Cao Cao, Cao Cao hurriedly looked over, it turned out to be his own brother Cao Hong, Cao Cao suddenly sighed in his heart: "I must die here, virtuous brother, you can fight a bloody way with your bravery, and escape." ”

Ignoring Cao Cao's dissuasion, Cao Hong took the war horse and handed the reins of the horse to Cao Cao, knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord, get on the horse quickly, Cao Hong is willing to accompany him on foot." ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly helped him up and said: "The thieves are coming, the general can't be without horses?" ”

How do you know that Cao Hong handed over the horse to Cao Cao with an iron heart and said: "Lord, there is no Cao Hong today, but you can't do without Cao Gong, get on the horse quickly, Cao Hong is willing to protect each other with death and protect the lord to kill a bloody road." ”

Cao Cao wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it, turned over and got on the horse, Cao Hong took off the armor on his body in order to unload the weight on his body, and ran all the way to follow Cao Cao's footsteps with the blade in his hand, and ran for an hour, only to see a big river in front of him blocking the way, and the shouts of the pursuers behind would also be approaching, and it was impossible to find other roads.

Seeing this, Cao Hong hurriedly took off all the robes and armor on his upper body, regardless of the cold and freezing, and waded on foot with Cao Cao on his back.

Cao Hong supported Cao Cao along the waterfront and walked all the way for dozens of miles, both of them were exhausted, plus Cao Cao and Cao Hong's injuries, Cao Hong all the way to protect Cao Cao, shirtless and wad, had already collapsed and weakened, if it were not for the last breath, he would have fainted to the ground, and the two walked to a dirt hill to rest.

Cao Cao looked at the newborn rising sun, and couldn't help but feel that it was good to be alive, and he finally escaped, but unfortunately, before Cao Cao really put his mind at ease, there was a sudden fierce killing cry nearby, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a large group of fierce men and horses rushing towards him.

It turned out that Xu Rong led the troops to cross the river from the upper reaches to chase over, Cao Cao and Cao Hong had no chance of resistance, they could only support each other to find a way to escape, but how could the two legs run through the four legs, and they were about to be caught up, and suddenly another killing cry sounded, but it was the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Tang who led more than ten cavalry to come, Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Cao and Cao Hong were about to be captured, and said in a hurry: "Xu Rong Xiao'er, Hugh hurt my lord, and have the courage to fight with me Xiahou Xuan."
