"How many remnants are there in Beibi Mountain?"
"The specific number of troops is not very clear at present, but what we can know is that the people who commanded the troops are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who turned their backs on He Jin from the Sunset Pavilion in the past, fled into the northeast, and went straight to the north, so they have saved a lot of strength!"
"Is that them?"
The sun is setting, the remnant sun is shining, Mu Jing stands on a hill, his tall body is shrouded in the light of the sunset, his figure looks a little gloomy, his eyes look at the Beibi Mountains in front of him, and his pupils are faint: "In the battle that day, I'm afraid they have few troops left!" β
The battle of Sunset Pavilion was so tragic that the soldiers and horses under He Jin were almost wiped out, and those who could escape were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who saw the situation unfavorable and quickly withdrew.
"No!"
Jiang Lu said in a deep voice: "If it is only the elite soldiers of Xiyuan, there are indeed not many left, but in addition, they later took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to rescue the southern army from the battlefield and collect the strength of the southern army. β
"The Southern Army?"
When Mu Jing heard this, his pupils changed slightly.
In the city of Luoyang, if you don't count the soldiers and horses of the Xiyuan system established by the later emperor Liu Hong, then only the northern and southern armies defend Kyoto, and the elite of the northern army has always had a small reputation to the outside world, but the southern army, including the combat effectiveness, is not bad.
At the beginning, Mu Jing was chased by the Southern Army and was almost cornered.
Unexpectedly, this army of soldiers and horses was actually taken advantage of by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to take advantage of the chaos.
These two people are indeed the future heroes of the troubled times, even if they have not yet made a fortune, they also have great luck and courage, and they can stir up the overall situation of the world, which makes Mu Jing feel murderous.
That faint murderous aura rose up, instantly covering the entire chest, making both eyes red.
"Where are they now?" Mu Jing asked.
"It should be in this area!"
Jiang Lu opened a map, circled a range, and said: "There are so many things that the scouts can hear, but eight or nine are not far from ten, and they can't go there!" β
"What do you mean, father?"
"Both of them have the support of the imperial court behind them, and they can still be wooed!"
"What if you can't win it over?"
"Expulsion!"
"Eviction?"
"Hmm!"
Jiang Lu nodded and said: "In today's situation, things that can be solved with peace will never go to war, unless it is a last resort, Luoyang needs peace, and the lord who is in charge of the government has become the lord, they can be chaotic, the lord can't be chaotic, this is a test of the lord's ability to control, once the lord can't control the government, he will naturally encounter their backlash!" β
"So my father is sitting in the position of the Taifu, but he is restraining his hands and feet?" Mu Jing licked his lips, after all, he still has some experience in this political matter, even if he has seen countless battles, he still can't understand the profound meaning of seeking government in his position.
"Ancient and modern, it's like this!"
Jiang Lu said: "Fight the world immediately, rule the world under the horse, if the lord wants to go further, he must hold greater power, and he has to encroach on the country of this big man step by step, he needs to tie up his hands and feet!" β
"What if I want to forcibly eat this group of soldiers?" Mu Jing was a little unwilling.
"Why is the son so persistent?" Jiang Lu didn't understand, and asked rhetorically: "The remnants of the army can't shake the status of the lord at all, if it is turbulent, it will make the people of the court think that the lord is aggressive, which is not good for the reputation of the lord!" β
"I just don't want to let them go!"
Mu Jing said: "If I can cut off their heads, I won't choose to just hurt them!" β
"Think twice!" Jiang Lu bowed his head and asked.
"Reach out to them first, depending on the situation!"
Mu Jing sighed, now no one will understand his jealousy of the two, and he can't talk about it.

β¦β¦
The night is gloomy, enveloping the north, and the huge north mountain range is like a supreme dragon quietly coiling up under the starry sky, and the outline is looming, and the momentum is magnificent.
In the mountains, a remnant of the army was encamped.
This remnant army is mainly the original elite soldiers of the West Garden.
On the day of the Battle of the Sunset Pavilion, He Jin was defeated, and the two fled in the northeast direction, forcibly killing a bloody road, but let them break through.
After Ding Yuan led his troops to attack the Mushan army, he was ambushed by the Xiliang army, and the state army, the southern army, and the tiger army were defeated continuously, of which the southern army was the mainstay, and the Huangfu company led the army to abandon the position, broke through, and almost couldn't kill, and finally Cao Cao and Yuan Shu saved it.
However, although Huangfu Company broke through, he was too seriously injured in the battle and died in less than three days, and the remnants of the Southern Army left behind were cheap Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who ate away at the Southern Army and quickly recovered a lot of strength.
However, the next changes in the situation put them in a dilemma, so they could only hide in the northern mountains and wait for news.
"Everything that can be found in this mountain has been found, although the soldiers are hunting, but the necessary goods such as salt are very lacking, and they can't last much time!"
"I know, but what can I do now?"
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stood in front of a bonfire, burning the fire, discussing their situation and future in a low voice.
"Have you contacted Luoyang?" Cao Cao broke the firewood and threw it into the fire.
"The people of the Yuan clan are quite resentful of the fact that I sent troops to help He Jin that day, and now they have not replied to my request for help!"
Yuan Shao shook his head: "Even if they can take care of us, I'm afraid that this time I will be exiled by the family, a family, there can be no two heirs, this is an iron rule, and it is also the way of survival of the wealthy family!" β
After fighting with Yuan Shu for many years, he just wanted to prove his ability and let everyone in the Yuan family see that he was better than Yuan Shu and could become the head of the Yuan family, but now he was defeated here, and when he thought of years of hard work and was about to be burned, he was a little unwilling, and his heart seemed to be burning with a fire.
"I can't get much better than you, my father is weak, in today's court, the little shadow left by my grandfather has long since disappeared, and I have become He Jin's fellow party again, so naturally everyone shouts and beats!"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, now they have become real difficult brothers.
"Who would have thought that this Yang situation is changing, I thought that even if He Jin was defeated, there would be room for it, but he killed a Mushan!" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "This person can turn things upside down in the chaos, all the parties killed are defeated, and even Ding Yuan was forced to commit suicide and die, monopolizing the power of the dynasty, but he has some ability, but I don't know how long he can stabilize this dynasty!" β
The family has a wide range of connections, the most well-informed, Yuan Shao is still the son of the Yuan family, all parties will give face, even if they are trapped in this northern place, there is news coming back all the time, and he knows everything about Luoyang.
"Then it's up to him!" Cao Cao was not too optimistic about this, he said in a deep voice: "The new emperor ascended the throne, his position is unstable, the princes of all parties are faintly moving, Yizhou Mu and Youzhou Mu are clans, and they hold the military and political power of Yizhou and Youzhou, if you don't agree, launch the army of King Qin, maybe this Taiping situation will not be stable for long!" β
"Report!"
A soldier came up, it was Cao Cao's henchman, Cao Ren, his younger brother.
"Zixiao, what's the matter?"
"Lord, in the southeast, ten miles away from us, we found the soldiers' and horses' camp, which is slowly advancing in the direction of our army!"
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other when they heard this.
"It won't be the Xiliang Army, they are busy standing firm now and provoking us, but it is unwise!"
"It can only be the soldiers and horses of Mushan!"
"He has already supported the crown prince to ascend the throne, which means that he can free his hands, so he is ready to clean us up!"
"Inevitably, this Luoyang City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you are not in power, you can't set up camp and garrison troops, he is in power for the first time, how can he tolerate our remnants lying on the side!"
The two of them stood up, their eyes looking at the southeast direction, and their expressions became a little cold.
