Chapter 439: Pursuit
The name of the thief spreads to the world.
As the son of a thief, Mu Jing, a thief of the Mu family, no matter where he goes, there should be someone shouting and killing him, if there is not much place that can accommodate Mu Jing's foothold today.
Of course, the land of the world is not without a place to settle down.
At the beginning, Mu Jing chose to merge with the state, and the state is a frontier land, in the Central Plains, it is also far away, as long as he has enough soldiers and horses, this is a place to settle down.
But in Bingzhou, he would inevitably face the war between the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and there was no time to recuperate.
Even if the Central Plains is in chaos, he has no chance to get out, and can only spend his strength bit by bit on the war against the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and Youzhou and Hebei will not let him go, and when the army is approaching, it will be defeated.
What he needed was a place to recuperate.
So this choice, Mu Jing gave up.
Since he can't go to Bingzhou, he still has a place to try, that is, to break through from Hanoi, go north to Montenegro, rely on the identity of the saint Zhang Ning, and Zhang Yan to seize power, control the entire Taiping Road and the Yellow Turban Army, and take the road of Taizu in later generations, guerrilla warfare, establish a base area, and encroach on Hebei step by step.
But if they want to break through to the north and go north, it is too dangerous, and they may not be able to kill Hanoi alone.
Once dragged in Hanoi, his more than 100,000 soldiers and horses will be consumed alive.
So he also gave up on this choice.
In the end, he decided to go south.
There are two reasons for going south, the first is that he doesn't want to give up Nanyang, Nanyang has always been the place where the Mu clan rises, the Violent Bear Army, the Yellow Turban Army, most of the soldiers are from Nanyang, and they have too many congenital conditions in Nanyang.
Second, Hanzhong is the best place to recuperate, and there is a sword pavilion with Bashu, and the Qinling Mountains are a pavilion with Guanzhong.
This is the perfect place to recuperate.
Of course, it is not so easy to enter Guanzhong, and now Guanzhong is not ownerless, whether it is Liu Yan of Yizhou Mu or Zhang Lu of Hanzhong Taishou, they will be his enemies.
"Zhang Lu?" On the ship, Mu Jing was dressed in battle armor, hunting in a cloak, standing in the wind, hunting with a light in his eyes, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes: "If I go to Hanzhong, I must not leave you!" ”
Liu Yan can talk.
All he wants is the land of Bashu.
But Zhang Lu may not be able to stay.
But it's useless to want to escape more, whether you can get out of the pass is the most important, he took a deep breath and asked calmly: "The Yimin Pass they raided, I'm afraid the news has spread, we have to speed up!" ”
"Will they let us go south so smoothly?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"No one wants me to live!"
Mu Jing said calmly: "Whether it's the Kwantung Coalition Army or the Western Liang Army, they will all send troops, so naturally it is impossible for us to go south so smoothly, but I am now worried about the Western Liang Army more than the Kwantung Coalition Army?" ”
If the Xiliang army learns that he is going south to Guanzhong, they will definitely pursue desperately, they have already regarded Guanzhong as a bowl of meat and a plate of food, how can they allow Mujing to be defiled, even if they are desperate, they will chase after them.
But the Kwantung coalition ......
If history were to be concerned, they would have stopped there.
"Why?"
Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Do you know why I burned down Luoyang City?" Mu Jing said: "Two reasons, first, to cover our breakthrough, and second, to burn their loyalty, but they lost their loyalty to the Han Dynasty, they will not waste time on me, they will ......"
"They will return to their own territory, fight for power, increase their strength, wait for opportunities, and plot the world!"
Xi Zhicai continued Mu Jing's words, he was extremely smart and smart, how could he not think of this, but he was unwilling to face it, he sighed helplessly: "Your fire has really burned down the four hundred years of the Han family!" ”
"The four hundred years of the Han family were not burned by me, but corrupted by the descendants of their Liu family!"
When Mu Jing heard this, he said coldly: "The Liu family has been in charge of the country for four hundred years, and it is deeply rooted, who can help them, if it weren't for their descendants not fighting and making the people of the world unhappy, then there would be no Yellow Turban Uprising, let alone the wealthy families of the family want to move!" ”
The topic of the Han dynasty is too heavy, for Xi Zhicai, he is a person who reads the books of sages after all, even if he knows that Mu Jing is right, but he doesn't want to scold the kings of the generations.
So after he was silent, he changed the topic: "What the lord has been worried about all along, should Chang'an send troops?" ”
"Hongnong has Xiliang Ma Teng, and Yang Biao unites, there will be soldiers and horses to intercept us, Chang'an is related to the Chinese army, Huangfu Song, this old guy is foolish and loyal, he will not disobey the will of the Son of Heaven, as long as the Xiliang Army makes a holy decree in the name of the Son of Heaven on the Ninety-Five, the Guanzhong Army will inevitably send troops!"
Mu Jing analyzed and said: "There are chasing soldiers in the back, there is interception in front, I can only divide the soldiers into three ways to distract their attention, I have deduced the route of each road with you many times, and we are also in charge of the preparations that can be made, and in the end, I can not kill the land in this pass, I have no bottom in my heart, I can only say that I will do my best and obey the destiny of heaven!" ”
"God won't fail us!"
Xi Zhicai smiled indifferently, and he suddenly asked: "What about the Kwantung Coalition Army, is it possible that they are so willing?" ”
"Willing is definitely unwilling, and there are always people who send troops to pursue us!"
Mu Jing shrugged: "There are countless ambitious people in the Han Dynasty, but there are also many loyal ministers who are loyal to the Han family, and there are not a few who want to make a name for themselves with my Mu Jing's head!" ”
"It seems that although we have killed Ruoyang City at a small price, we have only entered a large encirclement from a small encirclement!" Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up like a sword, and he said coldly: "Next, I still have to fight to the death!" ”
……
……
Midday.
Outside the Upper East Gate, the camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
"This fire has been burning for almost two days!"
Yuan Shao stood on top of the gate, staring at the firelight of this Luoyang City, and the firelight was still vigorous: "There has been no news, so the Mu army has not broken through, and Mu Longtu should be dead!" ”
"Zhang Yang and Liu Bei have both replied to the news, no trace of the Mu clan's soldiers and horses has been found in the north, and it is impossible for them to escape unless they go to heaven and earth!"
Cao Cao was still suspicious, but his suspicion gradually drowned in this fact.
He couldn't think of any way for the Mu army, who was trapped in the sea of fire, to leave Luoyang.
"Report!"
At this time, a soldier came from the south.
He walked up and knelt down: "Report to the alliance leader, this is a secret letter from Sun Jian, the general of Wucheng Hou, to the alliance leader!" ”
"Pick it up!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand.
A guard standing on his right went up, picked up the letter, handed it to him, he opened it and looked at it, his pupils changed color, and his face turned pale all of a sudden: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Cao Cao stepped forward, looked at it twice, and his face changed drastically: "How could I not have imagined that Luoshui River, Luoshui River can get out of Luoyang, damn it, we all let Mu Longtu play tricks, he has already escaped from under our noses!" ”
This is not Jiangdong, there are many rivers in Jiangdong, and the rivers are transparent in all directions, so the waterway will also be a place where people are strictly guarded.
But in the Central Plains, here in Luoyang City, there is basically no water army, so many people will subconsciously ignore the waterway, they put all their eyes on the city gates, but they never thought that the Mujing army would leave from the Luoshui River.
"Gather all the princes in my tent at once!"
Yuan Shao ordered to summon all the princes to discuss the military advisor.
Soon the princes had already arrived, and they sat down on the left and right.
Yuan Shao said the matter, and then looked solemn and said: "Everyone, we have been fooled, the little herdsman has not broken through from the southeast and northwest directions at all, he has already led the army to escape from Luoyang City from the Luoshui River!" ”
"Luoshui River?"
"How is that possible?"
"Where did they get so many ships?"
The princes spoke.
"Alliance leader, it's useless to say anything else now, please give the alliance leader an order to immediately wave your troops to pursue!" Cao Cao stood up, knelt down on one knee, and gave up his hand to propose.
"Swing in pursuit?"
At this time, the coalition army was already able to work together at the beginning, and King Qin appeased the princes of Sheji, and as soon as Luoyang was burned, their thoughts became more and more these days.
Just yesterday, the Xuzhou army, under the leadership of Tao Qian, had broken away from the coalition army and returned to Xuzhou on the grounds that there were too many casualties and needed to rest.
There are not a few princes who want to leave.
Including the alliance leader Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao had discussed with the strategists all night last night, and the final result was that Han Fu had to return to Hebei earlier before he had a chance to capture Hebei.
So the topic of Cao Cao made them look at each other all of a sudden.
"Mengde!"
Yuan Shao pretended to make a gesture and said: "The news has not yet been confirmed, you can't rush to send troops, and our coalition army has been fighting with the herdsmen for several months, and the casualties are heavy, it is not appropriate to do so. ”
Cao Cao glanced around, and his heart suddenly became cold.
Mu Longtu's fire was really ruthless.
The battle of Yongqiu, no matter how tragic it was, did not knock these princes down, but this fire burned out all their ambitions.
A military discussion broke up unhappily.
After Cao Cao returned to the camp, he pondered for a while, and then made up his mind, directly summoned the generals, and said: "The coalition army has been scattered, and it cannot be relied on, but the posture of the tiger and the wolf can be herded by the dragon, although it is young, it will become a big disaster in the future, I will never allow this fang to live in the world, and the generals will follow me to chase the enemy, but I am willing!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Most of them here are Cao Cao's township party disciples, who are absolutely loyal to Cao Cao and are willing to follow.
In the afternoon of the same day, Cao Cao directly led his troops south.
