After Cao Cao led his troops to the south gate, he immediately entered the city with his four family generals, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and as for his troops, he ordered them to rest on the spot.

At the same time, Sun Jian, who heard the sound of horses' hooves, also rushed towards the city gate with Huang Gai.

After Cao Cao and Sun Jian met in the city, Cao Cao immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Wentai, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Brother Meng De said it was funny!"

After a few more pleasantries, Cao Cao asked: "Brother Wentai, have you also received a letter of help from Lord Jingzhao Yin Gai?" ”

"Could it be that Brother Meng De is too?"

"Truly! I raised troops from Chen Liu, and hurried all the way to Luoyang to prepare to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but the situation in Luoyang seems to be a little wrong! ”

"Brother Meng De is right, this Luoyang is really not right."

"Oh? What does Brother Wentai mean by this, but do you know the reason? ”

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment before replying: "Brother Meng De, it's really not a secret, the Xiliang Army has already left Luoyang City with the Son of Heaven in tow. ”

"What? When did this happen? If the Son of Heaven enters Chang'an, then the allies will not want to save the Son of Heaven again. ”

"According to the words of the remaining people in the city, the Xiliang army has been gone for almost ten days."

"The Xiliang army coerced the Son of Heaven and the courtiers to rush to Chang'an, their marching speed must not be fast, more than ten days, we can still catch up, as long as the Xiliang army does not pass Hangu Pass, we still have a chance."

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Sun Jian hurriedly continued: "Brother Mengde, do you want to pursue?" ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he asked very suspiciously: "Isn't Brother Wentai planning to pursue?" ”

"Brother Meng De, there are about 10,000 soldiers and horses in my department, I don't know how many soldiers and horses you have in your department?"

"The total number of our troops is about 8,000."

"Brother Meng De, you and I have less than 20,000 troops, what can we do to rescue the Son of Heaven? The strength of the Xiliang army is 40,000 or 50,000, and we are alone in the pursuit of the army, if there are no reinforcements, I advise Brother Meng De to return to the fiefdom and then slowly figure it out! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao also understood what Sun Jian meant.

"Brother Wentai, I understand your thoughts, but as a Hanchen, how can I not save the Son of Heaven when he sees death?"

"Brother Meng De, it's not that I don't save it, it's that we can't save the Son of Heaven at all, and if we go after it, we will throw ourselves into the net."

Seeing that he really couldn't convince Sun Jian, Cao Cao had no choice but to say: "Since Brother Wentai has made up his mind, then let's say goodbye!" After speaking, Cao Cao left Luoyang City with his generals.

Seeing Cao Cao leaving, Huang Gai, who was beside Sun Jian, immediately asked Sun Jian: "Lord, don't we really rescue the Son of Heaven with General Cao?" ”

"Public! After the Son of Heaven enters Chang'an, the world will be an era of heroes, if we are here to lose troops is familiar with unwise, to clean up the mess of Luoyang City, we will return to Jiangdong to develop. Huang Gai didn't say anything more after listening to Sun Jian's sincere words.

A few more days passed.

The generals under Sun Jian's command finally cleaned up the corpses in Luoyang City.

Then, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu gathered outside the Luoyang Palace with Sun Jian.

Then, Sun Jian led the generals into the palace to check.

Because Li Ru did not destroy the palace when he left, the palace in Luoyang basically remained the same.

After Sun Jian and the others inspected and did not find anything abnormal, he led his troops to leave the palace.

When Sun Jian's troops left Luoyang City, Sun Jian looked back and stared, and then led his troops back.

At the same time, Cao Cao pursued for several days overnight, and he finally caught up with Li Ru's army in the middle of the road.

Besides, when Li Ru learned that Cao Cao led his troops to chase and kill, he immediately ordered Xu Rong to stay behind and block the attack.

After receiving the order, Xu Rong immediately stayed with 10,000 elites, while Li Ru continued to walk towards Hangu Pass with the Son of Heaven.

Back to Xu Rong's side.

After Xu Rong led his troops to stay, he immediately called his deputy general Shen Tong and said to him: "Vice General Shen, you lead five thousand elites to the woods not far in front to ambush them, and when I lead the Cao army to arrive, you will kill and attack the Cao army." ”

"The last general obeys!"

After that, Xu Rong immediately led his troops back, while Shen Tong led his troops to ambush in the woods.

After Xu Rong's troops traveled a distance, Cao Cao also led Cao's army to appear.

Seeing Cao Cao appear, Xu Rong immediately shouted: "Cao Mengde, the Son of Heaven moved the capital to Chang'an, what do you want to lead your troops to arrive?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao did not answer, but directly led his troops to rush over, because he was not idle and elegant at all, as long as he was one step late, the Son of Heaven would never be able to save him.

When Xu Rong saw Cao Cao directly leading his troops to kill, he immediately thought to himself: 'Cao Cao is so anxious, just invite you into the urn.' Thinking about it, Xu Rong led his troops forward to fight with Cao Jun.

The two armies fought fiercely for a while, and Xu Rong began to lead the army to evacuate by selling his flaws.

Seeing that Xu Rong's troops were so vulnerable, Cao Cao, who was worried about the Son of Heaven, didn't see that this was Xu Rong's deception, and as a result, Cao Cao led his troops to chase after him.

After Xu Rong confirmed Cao Jun's location while running, he sped up a little and rushed to the woods where Shen Tong was ambushed.

After Cao Cao chased into the woods unsuspectingly, Shen Tong, who had already been in ambush, suddenly led his troops to attack Cao's army from the flank.

The soldiers of the Cao army were caught off guard, and their military hearts were shaken.

At this time, Xu Rong led his troops to kill him again.

Seeing that he was under siege, Cao Cao woke up like a dream.

Immediately after, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered a breakthrough.

Seeing that Cao Cao wanted to run, Xu Rong immediately commanded the soldiers to gather around and prepare to capture Cao Cao alive.

When Cao Cao saw that the surrounding Xiliang soldiers were forming a circle, he immediately guessed Xu Rong's thoughts.

In order to survive, Cao Cao had to dismount and follow the soldiers to rush and kill.

Because Xu Rong suddenly lost Cao Cao's figure, Cao Cao really followed the soldiers to fight his way out of the encirclement.

After Xu Rong completely eliminated the Cao soldiers in the encirclement and did not find Cao Cao's figure, he immediately led his troops in pursuit.

Since Cao Cao had no mount, he didn't have to go far before he heard the sound of horses' hooves following him.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Could it be that the sky is going to kill me Cao Cao?" ”

At this moment, Cao Hong arrived on horseback.

When he saw Cao Cao, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Lord, it's too late for the last general to save the driver!" ”

Suddenly hearing Cao Hong's voice, Cao Cao suddenly burst into tears.

Then, Cao Cao asked Cao Hong, "Zilian, why are you here?" ”

"Lord, after I was killed by the Xiliang Army, I looked around for the traces of the lord, and I immediately looked for your voice when I heard your voice just now."

"I'm sorry for you, I can see through the treacherous plan of the Xiliang army with a little calmer, and now there is no possibility of rescuing the Son of Heaven after this defeat, you and I will quickly withdraw our troops and return."

At this moment, Cao Cao and Cao Hong both heard the dense sound of horses' hooves not far away.

Cao Hong then said to Cao Cao: "Lord, the Xiliang army is catching up, you quickly get on my horse and flee for your life, and I will stay and lure them away." ”

"No, how can Zilian Wuma attract the Xiliang army."

"Lord, the last general has his own way, you quickly get on the horse and leave."

"No, I brought Zilian here, and I have the responsibility to let you go back alive."

"Lord, there is no me Cao Hong in the world, you can't do without the lord! If the lord dies here, who will help the Han family? ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao stopped being hypocritical and got on the horse directly.

At this time, Cao Hong immediately slapped the horse and let Cao Cao flee for his life, while he turned back to attract the attention of the Xiliang army.
