Chapter 772 [Entering the Battle]

Li Ru was even more shocked when he saw this rather dramatic scene, seeing that Dong Zhuo's love for Ma Chao had surpassed everyone else, and his heart was like being pressed by a huge stone, making him almost breathless. He is a smart person, and he also knows his father-in-law's personality very well, and at this time, Ma Tengjia was suddenly named Liangzhou Mu and Zhenxi General, which was to establish a lone show in his sphere of influence, and he also knew the purpose of doing so.

Li Ru took a step forward, hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Taishi, please think twice, Liangzhou is the foundation of Taishi, in case it ......"

"Li Ru, don't you even listen to my orders?" Dong Zhuo knows very well what his son-in-law is, he is flattering to him on the surface, but he is very treacherous and cunning in his heart, far higher than him many times, and many of the evil deeds he has done are Li Ru's ideas.

Li Ru hurriedly said: "My subordinates don't dare to ......"

"I have made up my mind, now I am in the capital, and Liangzhou is far away, it is time to find someone to guard Liangzhou for me, although Ma Teng's ancestral home is in Maoling on the right side of Fufeng, but he was born in Longxi, since he was a child, he has lived in Qianghu, I know the complex situation in Liangzhou, there are such people sitting in Liangzhou, my heart can also be a little peaceful."

Li Ru said: "Taishi, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou have all followed Taishi for a long time, why are they ......?"

"You don't need to say it anymore, this matter is settled, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou are my confidants, so naturally they want to stay by my side and listen to it. And you, you have to stay by my side all the time, and I have to discuss many things with you. Dong Zhuo said in a loud voice, "In addition, Han Sui, I appoint you as General Anxi, and your reputation in Liangzhou is resounding." It is enough to convince those wealthy families and squires in Liangzhou, and you will be the assassin of Liangzhou, Ma Teng will be the main one, and you will be the deputy to guard Liangzhou together. ”

Ma Teng and Han Sui were both overjoyed, and neither of them thought about why Dong Zhuo did this. After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, they hugged their fists together and said, "Thank you for the favor." ”

Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo had sealed Han Sui again, and his unstable heart just now finally settled down, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Taishi is worthy of being a Taishi, using Ma Teng to separate powers, I am afraid that the power will fall into my hands, but I am afraid that Ma Teng will dominate Liangzhou, and enable Han Sui to divide power again, such power techniques." It's too clever......"

After Dong Zhuo finished his order, he immediately said to Lu Bu: "Feng Xian, you immediately lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters as the vanguard, and Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou as the rear, attack the camp of the coalition army, and be sure to capture another meritorious ......."

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Taishi, my subordinates think that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time. Lin Nan's new defeat will inevitably lead to some precautions in the coalition army. If our army attacks rashly, I am afraid that we will lose our troops. It's better to stick to this pass, no matter how strong the coalition army is, it will not be able to break through the natural danger of this tiger prison pass. ”

Lu Bu didn't want to send troops, seeing that the day was coming, he didn't want to be an enemy of the coalition army anymore, so he immediately said: "Taishi." Master Li is reasonable, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others in the coalition army are by no means general, not to mention the large number of people, although Lin Nan is defeated, it is not enough to dampen his spirit. The princes of the coalition are intrigued. If it takes a long time, it will inevitably cause disputes, so it is better to wait for time, wait for the coalition forces to mess up, and then the Taishi will send troops to attack again, and it will be easy. ”

Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Su and others also echoed the voice, saying that they could not send troops.

Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu's analysis was the head of the Dao, and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others were also unanimous, so he said: "Okay, that's it, wait for time, in order to deal with the rebellion of the coalition forces." ”

After Lu Bu came back from Dong Zhuo's official residence, he did not return to his official residence, but went straight to the barracks.

In the barracks, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others surrounded Zhang Yang to welcome Lu Bu, and after everyone connected Lu Bu to the barracks, they sat down in priority and priority.

Lu Bu sat at the top of the seat, looked around at the people present, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhi, tomorrow is the most critical moment, are you ready?" ”

Uncle Zhi is the word of Shangdang Taishou Zhangyang, Zhang Yang is a native of Yunzhong in Bingzhou, known for his bravery, and was appointed as Sima of the other department by Ding Yuan, who was later recommended as Shangdang Taishou because of his military merits, and Ding Yuan and Lu Bu are all New Year's friends. When he heard Lu Bu's words, he nodded and said slowly: "Fengxian, I heard Wen Yuan say that Dong Zhuo is looking for you today, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Lu Budao: "Let me send troops to attack the coalition army, and then I was persuaded by Li Ru and me, there will be no movement in the next two days, as long as we endure for another day and night, we can do it tomorrow night." ”

Zhang Yang said with a righteous face: "Great, in this way, Ding Yuanjun will not die in vain, and we can finally avenge Ding Yuanjun." ”

Lu Bu let out an "um", turned his face to Gao Shun and asked, "How is it, have Ma Teng and Han Sui's military camps been investigated clearly?" ”

Gao Shun nodded and said: "Lord Qiyu, it has been investigated clearly, most of the soldiers and horses brought by Ma Teng and Han Sui this time are cavalry, and Qianghu is the main force, there are few Han people, although the camp is stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass, there is no defense, and the soldiers are also very slack, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is controlled, they will not hinder our plan." ”

Lu Bu smiled, and immediately said: "Okay, then we will proceed according to the original plan, Zhang Liao, you take Cheng Lian and Hao Meng to be responsible for opening the gate for the coalition forces, Gao Shun, you take Cao Xing, Xue Lan, and Li Feng to block the West Gate, don't let anyone go." Uncle Zhi, you took Hou Cheng, Song Xian and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to set fire everywhere in the pass, and I took Wei Xu and five hundred cavalry to kill Dong Zhuo. Is it all clear? ”

"No!"

Gao Shun's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and immediately said: "Lord, if the West Gate is blocked, the tens of thousands of Dong Zhuojun in the pass will not be able to escape, and then there will inevitably be a battle of trapped beasts, in the eyes of subordinates, it is better to open the West Gate and let it go, there are nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses stationed behind the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as there is chaos in the pass, the soldiers and horses outside will inevitably attack, and our army will fall into a bitter battle at that time." But once the west gate is opened, the soldiers and horses in the pass will rush out directly in order to flee for their lives, and the enemy troops outside will not be able to enter, which will be beneficial to our army. ”

Zhang Liao also hurriedly said: "Lord, Brother Gao is reasonable, and I deeply agree. As long as the coalition forces are killed and killed, the 80,000 soldiers and horses outside the Tiger Prison Pass will also be in chaos, and when the time comes, they will be able to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and they will definitely be able to achieve a big victory. ”

Lu Bu said: "Okay. Then so be it, Gao Shun led people to ambush at the West Gate, and just cover up and kill along the way. Now the rest is a matter of time, I hope Lin Nan's injuries are not serious, and the coalition side is also properly prepared. ”

After the discussion, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others. Lu Bu hurried out of the barracks, and then returned to the official residence, waiting for the time to come.

At the same time, in the camp of the coalition army, the princes from all walks of life gathered together, and the news of Lin Nan's injury also spread, and Hua Xiong's death has also spread, for the people of the coalition army, some are happy and some are worried, except for Liu Yu, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao, the rest of the people have a gloating attitude.

"Call you here today. You must know that, right? Yuan Shao was still domineering, and he said loudly.

Everyone nodded, and then someone began to talk about it, saying that Lu Bu and Lin Nan's plan was clever. What's more, someone opened his mouth and said that he had seen the doorway from the beginning, and this kind of brazen words would naturally be criticized, and the big tent began to be noisy.

"Don't make a noise!" Yuan Shao stood up immediately. Said angrily, "It's all for the alliance." Why hurt the harmony for a little thing? It doesn't matter if you know, or if you don't know, anyway, now that everyone already knows, let's ask General Lin to explain to you in detail how to act. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, stopped talking, and focused all their eyes on Lin Nan's body.

Lin Nan's face was wrapped in bandages. With only two eyes and two lips exposed, no one knows what the injury is under the bandages. He slowly stood up, stretched out his hand backwards, and Jia Xu behind him handed him a large scroll.

After he took the scroll. Then he walked to the place where the map was hung, summoned two soldiers, and whispered, "Hang it." ”

The soldier stretched out the scroll and hung it there, revealing a huge floor plan.

Lin Nan turned around, faced the princes, and said loudly: "Everyone, please see, this is the distribution map of the Dong army that Lu Bu sent back from the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Everyone got up to see and gathered around, but they saw that the layout of the tiger prison was very simple, with five camps scattered around, and four camps on all sides guarded the camp in the middle.

Lin Nan then explained: "These five camps are all the troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the rest of the 80,000 troops are still stationed behind the Tiger Prison Pass. The four camps on these four sides are all Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, and the one in the middle is Lu Bu's camp, from the distribution of troops, it is not difficult to see that this is Dong Zhuo's desire to clamp down on Lu Bu. However, this also brought convenience to Lu Bu, as long as the four camps were attacked at the same time, and the four camps were in chaos, there would be chaos in the Tiger Prison Pass, so that they could not take care of each other and disperse out of the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

"What about Dong Zhuo? Where is the old thief Dong? Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.

Lin Nan pointed his hand, stopped at a place with a small square in the middle of the two camps, and said loudly: "Here, this is the official residence where Dong Zhuo lives. ”

Gongsun Zhan's arm was wrapped in bandages, and he glanced at the dots of cinnabar around the small square, and asked, "What's the matter with the red dots?" ”

Lin Nandao: "This is the Flying Bear Army, the most elite unit under Dong Zhuo's account, it has always been under the command of Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, these red dots are the Flying Bear Army scattered near Dong Zhuo's residence, and one red dot represents a hundred people." ”

Gongsun Chan took a closer look and couldn't help but be shocked: "There are twenty red dots on it, representing two thousand people?" ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Dong Zhuo's mansion is extremely heavily guarded, so naturally it is impossible to approach, so if you want to kill Dong Zhuo, you must first break through the two thousand Flying Bear Army." ”

Yuan Shao frowned at this time, held his chin, and said thoughtfully: "The Flying Bear Army is the elite of Dong thieves, at the beginning, Li Dao and Guo Yan only used the 3,000 Flying Bear Army as the front, and they were able to break through the 20,000 soldiers of our Northern Army, and they drove straight in, which is indeed extraordinary. As far as I know, the Flying Bear Army is the elite of Liangzhou selected by Dong Thief and trained by them, and it is considered the strongest army in the Western Liang Army. ”

Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others all had a trace of worry on their faces, and they all sighed.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "It's just two thousand people, why bother? As long as I ride the tiger and leopard as the front, once I gallop into the tiger prison, I will definitely be able to kill Dong Zhuo, you don't have to worry too much, I will be the pioneer. ”

Lin Nan smiled and ignored these things, anyway, he didn't plan to use his own soldiers to contribute, at most he showed his face when he opened the city gate, and left the rest to the rest of the princes to do, and his soldiers and horses lost more than a thousand people. These fearless sacrifices can no longer be made.

"Tomorrow night, the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass will be opened, and at that time, please lead your subordinates to rush into the Tiger Prison Pass together and kill Dong Zhuo, as long as you are full of energy. If you drive straight in, you can pursue Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo will definitely not dare to stay in Luoyang, even if you can't kill Dong Zhuo at that time, you can take advantage of the situation to take Luoyang. Lin Nan arched his hand and said, "As long as we defeat Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers here in one fell swoop, Liu Biao and Kong Yi in the south will also attack Xuanyuan Pass, and Yuan Deputy Alliance Leader and others in the Wuguan area will also take advantage of the situation." When the time comes. Everyone worked together, attacked Sanfu together, and smashed Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo could be pacified. ”

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, a trace of disdain appeared on their faces, and when they heard Lin Nan's impassioned words, they were thinking about their own affairs in their hearts. They all seem to be laughing at Lin Nan's naivety.

"Good!" Among the heroes, Sun Jian suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound was like rolling thunder. His expression was excited, "That's right, if you don't defeat Dong Thief, you will not give up!" ”

Cao Cao was extremely calm at this time, he understood the current situation very well, and only wanted to drive Dong Zhuo to take Luoyang. But he didn't like to attack Sanfu with soldiers and horses. In the eyes of others, he Cao Cao is rich and wealthy, with plenty of soldiers and enough food, but in fact, he Cao Cao is a person with internal and external troubles. The food is consumed day by day, and the princes around him have their own ghosts, he can't use his own army to fight, as long as he conquers the Tiger Pass, he will be the first to occupy Aocang, and then talk about food and clothing, as for other things, they are all trivial.

Liu Yu didn't speak, and when he heard Lin Nan's words, only Sun Jian responded, and he was very unhappy, so he stood up and said loudly: "You have been in the alliance for loyalty and righteousness for more than a month, and in this short period of time, you are all like brothers and sisters, fight against Dong thief together, and eliminate all evil, if you don't kill Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will make a comeback in the future, so please weigh it, do you still want to throw your majesty to the evil wolf?" ”

Everyone was silent, secretly scolding Liu Yu for being pedantic, the word loyalty was just a disguise, everyone was just here to join in the fun.

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, as Lin Ziyu said, we should start preparing now, and each of us will lead the soldiers and horses to wait outside the Tiger Prison Pass, tomorrow, it will be the time for us to kill Dong Thief, please be sure to eliminate the evil." ”

Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then dispersed, and Lin Nan also left the big tent with Jia Xu.

"Ziyu, it doesn't matter what your injuries are, right?" Sun Jian took Cheng Pu to catch up from behind, and hurriedly said enthusiastically.

Lin Nan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, thank you Brother Wentai for your concern." ”

The two walked out of the gate side by side, talking and laughing, and then said goodbye to each other, and each returned to the camp to prepare......

The duel between the coalition forces and Dong Zhuo is coming to an end, and neither side has lost too many troops in the short duel, and there has not even been a large-scale major battle. Dong Zhuo took a defensive position with the Tiger Pass, which was to drag this war on indefinitely, and for him, he was to drag down the coalition army. Thousands of miles of red land in Kanto, disasters for many years, coupled with frequent outbreaks of the Yellow Turban remnants, directly led to the lack of food in Kanto. In contrast, Dong Zhuo is in the tiger prison, with his back to Ao Cang, and he has many soldiers and enough food, so he does have too much advantage.

In the past two days, the inside and outside of the Tiger Prison Pass were calm, and another day was spent in the sunrise and sunset, and when night fell, a bright fire rose in the Tiger Prison Pass, dispelling the darkness of the night and bringing the light out. The coalition forces outside the Tiger Prison Pass were in full swing of preparations, and the army of more than 100,000 people quietly sailed to the Tiger Prison Pass, ambushed in the dense forest outside the Pass, and waited for the changes in the Tiger Prison Pass.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo, who was not aware of the approaching war, was still enjoying himself in time in the official residence, and the beauties brought out from Luoyang filled his official residence, and naked women came and went in the official residence, and the turbulent scene naturally became a beautiful scenery in the official residence, which made the soldiers guarding near Dong Zhuo's official residence feast their eyes.

In the hall of the official residence, the lights are bright, the sound of beauty is endless, the ** women keep carrying wine and meat to the hall, and there are still more than a dozen women wrapped in tulle dancing in the center of the hall.

Dong Zhuo was lying on the couch, holding two beauties in his arms, surrounded by several plump women, serving wine, serving vegetables, beating legs, pinching back, all of them were conscientiously serving this fat man who was also full of **, and his face was still smiling forcefully.

"Taishi drinks...... Taishi eats vegetables...... "The beauty will serve Dong Zhuo obediently." From time to time, he made a snort to tempt, which made Dong Zhuo happy.

On the side of the couch, several women with plump breasts are squeezing milk from the **, and several young girls are holding bowls below, not daring to slack off at all. When a bowl of milk was full, it was hurriedly brought to the couch. knelt on the ground and raised the bowl of milk in his hand, and shouted softly: "Master Taishi, please use it!" ”

The special person took the bowl of milk, poured it into the wine bowl, mixed it, and sent it to Dong Zhuo's mouth, with a bright smile on his face, and said angrily: "Taishi eats milk wine......"

Dong Zhuo laughed happily, drank a large bowl of fresh breast milk with one mouth, and at the same time hugged a plump beauty beside him. On the two peaks on the chest of that beautiful woman is a lick. At the same time, another beauty sat on his waist, twisting her plump buttocks, while the rest of the beauties hurriedly withdrew at this time, the music also stopped, the dance also stopped, and the lively hall just now suddenly disappeared, leaving only Dong Zhuo and the two beauties to have fun. Followed by. The moans of two beautiful women and the low roar of an old man were heard in the hall.

It didn't take long. The quiet night suddenly became even more noisy, with the neighing of horses everywhere and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves. A general in full armor walked straight into the hall and saw Dong Zhuo and the two beauties chatting without saying a word. rushed forward quickly, pulled all the two women away, hugged his fists and said, "Taishi, Lu Bu has rebelled and has been killed in front of the mansion." Now the Flying Bear Army is struggling to resist, please come with me! ”

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, and the upturned place suddenly softened, and he hurriedly stood up from the couch and exclaimed, "What did you say?" Lu Bu rebelled? ”

The general's appearance is somewhat similar to Dong Zhuo, and he is much younger than Dong Zhuo, and his resolute face is Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min. He didn't have time to explain too much, and shouted at the two beauties: "Hurry up and dress the Taishi." ”

The two beauties didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly picked up Dong Zhuo's clothes from the couch and covered Dong Zhuo's body.

At this time, a group of cavalry came in from outside the hall, all of them were dressed in iron armor, and at the same time brought two high-quality Xiliang horses, and shouted in unison: "Master Taishi, please get on the horse!" ”

Dong Min grabbed Dong Zhuo, took Dong Zhuo out of the hall, took advantage of the situation to help the obese Dong Zhuo onto the horse, and then turned over on the horse himself, shouting at the people behind him: "Go to the back door, quick!" ”

Dong Zhuo was very annoyed, thinking that he used the red rabbit horse to buy Lu Bu, how could Lu Bu still rebel, the high-ranking officials and gold and silver treasures were all given to him, he didn't believe that a person like Lu Bu who was greedy for money would rebel against him. But he didn't doubt his younger brother, and when he gritted his teeth with hatred, he said angrily: "Damn Lu Fengxian, I will never spare him......"

Out of the back door of the official residence, there were already hundreds of flying bear troops waiting at the back door, and the mansion was surrounded by fire, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt paste, illuminating the entire Tiger Prison Pass as if it were day, not because of the lights, but because of the fire, there were fires everywhere in the Tiger Prison Pass.

Dong Zhuo, escorted by Dong Min and the Flying Bear Army, quickly left the mansion and headed towards the west gate. As soon as I walked to the straight avenue, I saw that there were chaotic Xiliang soldiers everywhere, many of them were burned by the fire, shouting in pain in the sea of fire, and there were still some Xiliang cavalry scurrying around, not knowing what to do.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Dong Min opened the way first, escorted Dong Zhuo towards the West Gate, and encountered the Xiliang cavalry blocking the way along the way, no matter who it was, they were all killed.

At this time, the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass has been opened, Zhang Liao took the soldiers to control the entire city gate, and the coalition army that had been waiting outside the pass also galloped over, Cao Cao took Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and other generals to lead five thousand tigers and leopards to ride the first to rush over, taking advantage of the momentum into the Tiger Prison Pass.

The pass was already a sea of fire, the four main camps were all on fire, most of the Xiliang soldiers who were still sleeping in the camp were burned to death, and the rest all fled to the west gate. While setting fire to the state everywhere, Lu Bu's soldiers also gathered in the area of the treasury, completely occupied the treasury, and guarded this place under the protection of Zhang Yang and others, waiting for the arrival of the Kwantung coalition army.

Lu Bu led the cavalry to break through the defense line of the Flying Bear Army with Wei Xu, and quickly rushed into the official residence, except for the panicked ** woman in a courtyard, Dong Zhuo's figure had already disappeared. He grabbed a beautiful woman at random, and asked loudly, "Where is Dong Zhuo's old thief?" ”

The beauty panicked, and pointed to the back door. The whole person squatted on the ground, covering the key parts of his body.

Lu Bu glanced around at the beauties present, and immediately said to Wei Xu behind him: "These are all sluts who are willing to give Dong Zhuo as slaves, and they will be used for Dong Zhuo's lewd pleasure all day long, all of them will be executed, and no one will be left!" ”

Wei continued to "promise". With his subordinates, he went on a killing spree in the official residence, killing women when they saw them, and some of them were lustful, so they pulled the women into the room and raped them, and after they were done, they killed them again, and the things they did were almost the same as Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Lu Bu didn't have that much spare time to stay here, and after he handed over the official residence to Wei Xu, he chased out from the back door with two hundred cavalry. As for how Wei Xu will deal with those women, it is none of his business.

Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was fast, and he soon left his subordinates in the chaos, clashes back and forth among the panicked Xiliang soldiers, and killed wherever he went, never leaving a single living mouth. And his eyes also showed an incomparably fierce light, and unconsciously, he followed the fleeing rebel army to the West Gate. Met Gao Shun.

"Where's Dong Zhuo?" LΓΌ Bule stopped the horse and stopped in front of Gao Shun. Shouted asked.

Gao Shun said: "There was a group of flying bear troops rushing out before, but there was no trace of Dong Zhuo among them. ”

"Suffered!" Lu Bu shouted, "It must be out of the city in disguise, why don't you chase it?" ”

Gao Shun said with a straight face: "There are many Xiliang soldiers outside the city, and our army's reinforcements have not arrived, so it is useless to chase them." Instead, they will be surrounded by enemies. ”

Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun was good at using soldiers and was loyal to himself, so he didn't say anything, and saw that things in the city were almost over, so he said to Gao Shun: "Get on the horse." Follow me and pursue Dong Zhuo, at this time Dong Zhuo is defeated, and he will inevitably retreat to Luoyang, and our army must reach Luoyang before the rest of the coalition army. ”

Gao Shun said "promise", and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to get on their horses and follow Lu Bu out of the city.

However, it was said that outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the soldiers and horses of Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Yang Feng were all stationed together, and only Guo Yan and Xu Rong's soldiers and horses were stationed in the pass, and after Xu Rong's death, the soldiers and horses were dispatched by Guo Yan, and 30,000 soldiers in the city plus 2,000 flying bear troops guarded Dong Zhuo. But no one could have imagined that Lu Bu suddenly turned against the water, almost 30,000 soldiers and state soldiers launched an attack on the four camps in the city almost at the same time, and set fire to the camps, Guo Yan was a guest at Li Ru's place, survived, knowing that someone was in trouble, the unanimous idea of the two people was to retreat, so when Gao Shun and the West Gate guards were fighting, they took advantage of the chaos and fled.

When the fire inside the gate was raised, the soldiers and horses outside the city did not care, because the city was always brightly lit, and sometimes accompanied by cheers and celebrations. In addition, the soldiers drank alcohol every day, most of them were drunk, and they didn't care about the affairs of the Guannei until Guo Yan and Li Ru came out of the Guannei with people, and then they knew that Lu Bu was in turmoil.

Li Ru immediately used Dong Zhuo's military talisman to control the situation, and he immediately made reasonable arrangements in the face of danger, ordering Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Yang Feng and other soldiers and horses to retreat, and he himself waited outside the pass with Guo Yan and Yang Feng to meet Dong Zhuo. After Dong Min escorted Dong Zhuo out of the city, Li Ru, Guo Yan, and Yang Feng took soldiers and horses to protect Dong Zhuo's retreat, and those who stayed outside were empty villages.

Lu Bu chased Gao Shun and others out of the West Gate, and when they came to the gate, they saw that the army had already gone to the empty building, and all that was left was an empty village. He didn't even think about it, so he took Gao Shun and the others to continue to chase after him.

As soon as Lu Bu chased out on the front foot, Cao Cao drove out with his subordinates and tigers and leopards, and saw the empty camp outside the west gate, and the ground was in a mess, as if he had fled in a hurry. Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Dong thief must have been defeated by Lu Bu, we must not fall behind, chase out with me, there is still a way to go to Aocang, we must rush over as much as possible, in case Lu Bu is also going to Aocang, it will be bad!" ”

The generals said "Nuo", and Bainian followed Cao Cao to chase out.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the coalition army entered the city one after another through the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, passed through the streets and alleys of the city, and arrived at the open space outside the west gate.

Lin Nan took Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Jia Xu and three thousand cavalry into the city after Cao Cao, and as soon as he entered the city, he met Zhang Liao, inquired about the situation, and rushed in behind Cao Cao's troops. At this time, he was the first to gallop outside the West Gate after Cao Cao, and when he saw the empty camp outside the city, he asked the soldiers to stop temporarily.

After Zhao Yun saw it, he said, "My lord." As soon as the tiger prison is broken, Dong Zhuo will inevitably be defeated and retreated. Ao Cang is an important place for the Beijing division to accumulate grain and grass, if our army goes to copy Ao Cang now, Dong Zhuo will definitely not stay in Luoyang. Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in front of us were already one step ahead of us, although they were also heading in the direction of Luoyang, but it was difficult to guarantee that he would not fight Ao Cang's idea. We should attack Ao Cang now, and don't let Cao Cao get cheap. ”

"Yes, with grain and grass, pull it back to Youzhou, which can be used to recruit troops and buy horses." Tai Shi Ci said excitedly.

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "No! Don't go to Aocang, go straight to Luoyang! ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "Military Division, there are still hundreds of miles to Luoyang, although Dong Zhuo was defeated, the army was not damaged. He will inevitably set up defenses on the road to Luoyang......"

"That's not right! Aocang is the grain storage area of the entire Gyeonggi, Dong Zhuo will not be so stupid as not to even want this place, judging from the retreat of this military camp, although it is a mess, but it is retreating on its own. I guess that Dong Zhuo will inevitably defend Aocang with heavy troops and fortify the place leading to Aocang, so as to provide convenient conditions for transporting grain out of Aocang, and it is useless for our army to go. It's better to go straight to Luoyang and give Dong Zhuo no respite. If he can't enter Luoyang City, then our army can be stationed in Luoyang. Jia Xu argued.

Zhao Yun retorted: "But Dong Zhuo will definitely carry out layers of defense on the road to Luoyang......

"Lu Bu has already led more than 10,000 cavalry to chase over, our army only needs to follow him, wherever there is a defense, Lu Bu will naturally break through, and when Lu Bu's army is tired. Our army can then give support, break through Dong Zhuo's defensive line, and then approach Luoyang in one fell swoop. Jia Xu said impassionedly.

Zhao Yun wanted to refute, but was stopped by Lin Nan, and hurriedly said, "Don't fight." The military advisor is reasonable, besides, my original plan was to go to Luoyang, and I asked each of you to bring enough dry food for three days, just for this matter, you all ...... with me."

"Ziyu! Ziyu! Sun Jian rushed over from behind with a cavalry and directly interrupted Lin Nan's words.

Lin Nan saw that Sun Jian was also coming over, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Wentai, you came so fast?" ”

Sun Jian said with a smile: "Ziyu, Dong Zhuo is newly defeated and demoralized, now is the time for our brothers to make meritorious contributions, I am willing to pursue Dong Zhuo with you and go straight to Luoyang!" ”

Lin Nan's eyes rolled for a moment, he thought for a moment in his heart, and then said: "Okay, then let's join forces together, pursue Dong Zhuo together, and go straight to Luoyang." ”

Lin Nan and Sun Jian joined forces, a total of 4,000 cavalry, and pursued along the official road to the west.

On the way, Lin Nan was not surprised by Sun Jian's arrival, because Sun Jian entered the city behind his troops. However, seeing that Sun Jian's subordinates were also tied to a small bag near the saddle, which was filled with bulging bags, and even the water bags were each prepared with three, which made him feel a little surprised, and his eyes looked at Sun Jian from time to time, and he also had a trace of admiration for Sun Jian's foresight.

Sun Jian and Lin Nan rushed to the front side by side, and when they saw Lin Nan's gaze glancing near his saddle from time to time, they grinned, and laughed: "Ziyu, when it was not dark today, I was going to discuss something with you, but I saw that your subordinates had prepared enough dry food and water for three days, and I guessed that you were ready to go straight to Luoyang." Therefore, as soon as I returned, I gathered the only thousand cavalry I had, and told them to prepare food and water, and prepare to go with you, so that they could take care of them on the way. ”

"Oh." Lin Nan knows Sun Jian's character, and he also knows Sun Jian's personality, since he said so, he will not be wrong, Rao is so, Sun Jian can know what he wants to do at a glance, and this vision is definitely not what ordinary people can have. He only replied lightly, and did not give much of a reply, from the time he agreed to join forces with Sun Jian to pursue together, he didn't care very much.

Sun Jian saw that Lin Nan was looking ahead, and he didn't seem to care, so he stopped talking, turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Jia Xu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and the four thousand cavalry behind him, and he still had a trace of worry in his heart. When he turned around, he whispered to Lin Nan: "Ziyu, Dong Zhuoshang has an army of nearly 100,000, even if he is defeated and retreated from the Tiger Prison Pass, his strength is still there, and the coalition forces have not yet caught up, will it be dangerous for us to pursue rashly like this?" ”

"Hehe, Sun Wentai, who is known as the Tiger of Jingnan, is also starting to be afraid?" Lin Nan said with a slight sarcasm.

Sun Jian didn't care very much, since he saw the coalition army, his 5,000 elites brought out from Changsha had killed more than 1,800 people, and since Lin Nan woke up his foolish loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he began to avoid war as much as possible in order to preserve his strength. Because, from the beginning of this war against Dong Zhuo to the present, only Lu Bu, Lin Nan and his troops have been damaged, while the other departments are intact, which is a great injustice to him. He smiled and said slowly: "When the tiger also takes a nap, anyone will have a scared side, my personal life and death have nothing to do with it, but there are four thousand brothers behind us, if we are leading them to a point of no return, then I would rather not go to Luoyang." ”

Lin Nan saw that Sun Jian was very considerate of his subordinates, so he said: "Brother Wentai, although rest assured, this trip to Luoyang will definitely be safe and sound, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are already in front of us, although there are only 15,000 cavalry, but I believe that Cao Cao's infantry will soon catch up." With Lu Bu and Cao Cao in front, we just need to follow slowly behind. ”

Sun Jian was a little relieved now, as long as he didn't let his soldiers and horses be damaged again, he would feel a little happy, smiled at Lin Nan, and said: "Then continue to chase, after arriving in Luoyang, you will be able to rescue Your Majesty." ”

When Lin Nan heard the words "Majesty", his heart suddenly shook, and he immediately thought: "Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, such a thing can't fall into the hands of others." ”

Lin Nan and Sun Jian pursued together for twenty or thirty miles, and everywhere they passed along the way, they could see corpses all over the mountains, with Dong Zhuojun's Xiliang soldiers being the majority, but they could also see the corpses of a few Bingzhou soldiers. Judging from the number of corpses, it is obvious that the Xiliang soldiers are deployed every ten miles, although they have been intercepted layer by layer, but the troops are too scattered, but it is easy to be broken through, and most of the people left are infantry, and in the face of pure cavalry, they can only wait for death.

After chasing for twenty or thirty miles, more and more corpses were seen, and Lin Nan and Sun Jian also reduced the speed of the pursuit, if they chased too fast, they were likely to come into contact with the Bingzhou soldiers, and if they really fought, they didn't help, and they didn't help.

After jogging forward for a few miles, the group stopped at a fork in the road, one facing northwest, one due west, and one road facing southwest.

"Ziyu, the northwest goes straight to Aocang, the southwest goes straight to Xuanyuan Pass, and the west goes straight to Luoyang. Aocang is the whole Sili's grain land, the reason why Dong thief can guard the tiger prison, its root is in Aocang, and Luoyang is far away, there are still hundreds of miles away, in my opinion, it is better to go straight to Aocang, once Aocang is occupied, Dong Zhuo just doesn't want to withdraw from Luoyang. What do you think? Sun Jian observed the surrounding situation and hurriedly said.

Lin Nandao: "Go to Luoyang, since Aocang is a heavy land for grain, how can Dong Zhuo give it up?" Luoyang is just a city, for Dong Zhuo, if he loses Luoyang, he can retreat to Sanfu, but if he loses Aocang, his Xiliang army will drink the northwest wind? (To be continued......)
