To the southwest of Xincheng County, a cavalry appeared, and they were less than twenty miles away from Xincheng, camping in a mountain forest and resting.

"Hao Meng, don't you have any news from Cao Xing?"

Lu Bu stood under the trees, looking at the sky in the distance.

It's been a day since we crossed Luoshui.

But he didn't dare to venture.

Although the pursuit of the herdsman is a beating of the water dog, this is a mad dog, and it may be bitten back.

For the soldiers and horses of the Mu clan, Lu Bu can be regarded as knowing the roots.

Whether it was the Violent Bear Army or the Jingping Army, he didn't dare to underestimate it.

"Still investigating!"

Hao Meng replied.

"It's almost evening, give the order to go down and bury the pot to cook!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "After eating, rest on the spot, maintain the physical strength of people and horses, I want to maintain an absolute combat state at any time!" ”

"No!"

The generals commanded.

Smoke billows from the groves......

Soon it was nightfall.

In the light of night, wooden railings were erected around the woods to prevent braziers, and from time to time patrols passed by, carefully guarding the surrounding environment.

In the middle of the night, the sound of horses' hooves startled Lu Bu.

"Where are the horses' hooves?"

Lu Bu's thunderous voice shook the inside and outside of the camp.

"Report to the general, it's Captain Cao Xing who is back!"

Outside the tent, a soldier reported.

"It's just right to come back!"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he put on a robe, and walked out directly: "Let him come to see me immediately." ”

"No!"

Soon Cao Xuan came, panting for breath.

"General, I just sent back the news, two days ago, under the rout of the new city of the Kwantung coalition army, there were heavy casualties, and it was almost wiped out!" In the tent, there were several palm lamps, the light was like day, Cao Xing went straight in, bowed his head, faced Lu Bu, and gave his hand to report.

"This is defeated?"

Lu Bu sat in his position, listened to Cao Xing's report, smiled coldly, and said with some contempt: "Sure enough, it is a group of rabble, which is useless, and it is not even delayed Fortunately, I didn't count on them, otherwise I'm afraid we would have been defeated!" ”

Immediately after, his eyes pupiled and shot a cold light: "What is the situation of the herdsman?" ”

"I released the scouts dozens of miles away in the southeast, southeast and southwest directions, and finally found their traces in Luhun County, they rested in Luhun County, but it is estimated that it will not be long before they will go directly south!"

"Are you sure of the troops?"

"I'm not sure for the time being, but their flag number is very certain, and they don't hide the military flag!"

"Speak quickly!"

"The Violent Bear Army and the Southern Army, the Violent Bear Army used the battle flag of the Flame Violent Bear, and the Southern Army, which used to be the Yellow Turban, many soldiers had the habit of wearing yellow silk, and they used the banner of the Yellow Sky God used by the Yellow Turban Army in the past!"

"What about Jing Pingjun?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice.

He was most worried about the Jingping Army, the Jingping Army's achievements were shocking to the world, whether it was breaking Hanoi or defeating the Youzhou Army, the reputation of the Jingping Army was rising.

"I didn't find Jing Pingjun!"

Cao Xuan shook his head.

"Cao Xing, if you are Mu Longtu, when you flee here, will you leave your lineage?" Lu Bu was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.

"No!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing thought about it and shook his head: "No matter how safe it is, it is none other than the lineage under his command, not only because of combat effectiveness, but also because of trust. ”

"That's right!"

Lu Bu said gloomily: "The Violent Bear Army and the Southern Army are a disguise, the Jingping Army has already gone south, with the combat effectiveness of the Jingping Army, plus the leadership of Huang Hansheng, few people in the south can stop it, and it is very possible to break out of Guanzhong!" ”

Cao Xing saw Lu Bu's fighting heart, he pondered for a while, leaned directly up, and said in a low voice: "General, in fact, the pastoral army is clearly going to fight against the water, whoever rushes up, who will have to bear their counterattack, according to the news I inquired about, this time the Kwantung coalition army dispatched the most elite Jiangdong army and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, but they all suffered a big loss, it can be seen that the herdsman army still has combat effectiveness, although we were ordered to pursue, but once we leaned up, we will also be attacked by their fierce counterattack, and the gains will outweigh the losses!" ”

"What do you mean, I'm not chasing?" Lu Bu frowned.

"No, it's just that you don't need to chase so hard!"

Cao Xing suggested: "We don't need to fight with them! ”

"It's naturally not necessary to fight with him!"

Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and he was making wishful thinking: "But the pursuit must be pursued, and at any cost, the scouts must be allowed to bite them, and they must not be allowed to escape from our sight!" ”

Although there is no deep hatred, even the death of Mushan has nothing to do with the wolf ride in Bingzhou, after all, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo were still in Chenliu at the beginning, and this hatred can be counted on Dong Zhuo's head, but it may not be counted on his head.

But now he needs merit to gain a foothold in the Xiliang Army, and this battle still has to be fought.

"Got it!"

Cao Xing nodded.

"Where are Niu Fu's soldiers and horses?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.

Starting from the Sunset Pavilion to the south, although they are all from the south of the Luoyang territory, but to the west of the detour, you must cross the Rushui, the distance can be more than half of the distance, the Xiliang army is divided into two roads, he is all the way, Niu Fu all the way.

"Report to the general, General Niu Fu led his troops and horses south along the western front, from Yiyang, which went straight to Hongnong, and now he should join forces with Ma Teng!"

One of the lieutenants stood up and replied.

This is Hou Cheng.

Under Lu Bu, Gao Shun was the leader, leading an army alone, and the anti-merge state flying cavalry led by him personally was Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, and Hou Cheng.

"Yiyang?"

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes: "They chose a good battlefield, among the herdsmen, there must be troops coming ashore from Yiyang, and then going south, but whether it is Mulongtu or not, it is difficult to say, if Huang Hansheng is tricky, I'm afraid Mulongtu will escape!" ”

"General, I heard from Lord Xiangguo before, Lord Xiangguo has mobilized the Guanzhong Army, from Chang'an to Shangluo, and then directly to Wuguan, I'm afraid they want to leave, but they can't get out!" Hao Meng said that the Lord Xiangguo he was talking about is naturally today's Xiangguo, Dong Zhuo.

"It's not that easy!"

Lu Bu's eyes flickered slightly, and in his mind sounded the unique young man in Luoyang City, he had seen it a few times, it was a very peculiar young man, no matter the Nanyang Sword King beside him, just talking about himself, it made Lu Bu have a pressure from the soul: "If he can easily block Mu Longtu, then he is not worthy of making his father-in-law sleep!" ”

He stood up and continued: "You guys go to rest first, recuperate, and as soon as the morning dawns, we will continue to move south and approach the herdsman formation as soon as possible!" ”

"No!"

The generals commanded.

……

……

Bears Ears Mountains, a canyon.

"Zhicai, is there any news coming back in the past two days?"

Outside the tent door, Mu Jing was dressed in a strong suit, holding a dragon lance in his hand, dancing tigers and tigers, and his moves were wide open and closed, quite fierce in the battlefield.

The more he uses this coiled dragon lance in his hand, the more he uses it, the more comfortable it becomes, but his skill is still too low, the skill of his arms is insufficient, if he forcibly uses the coiled dragon lance to fight, he can maintain less than three minutes of combat effectiveness at most.

"Lord, two days ago, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were defeated by Hu Zhao!"

Xi Zhicai stood next to him and reported in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it!"

When Mu Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to collect his work, handed over the Panlong lance to the two soldiers of the Divine Guard Army not far in front of him, and then took a towel from the hand of Zhang Ning, who was dressed in battle armor and was awe-inspiring, to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Although there are only dozens of generals in the Taiping Divine Guard, but the comprehensive combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and now the work of the pro-guard battalion has been completely replaced, Huo Shao does not know if he cried to death, but Zhang Ning followed Mu Jing every step of the way, whether it was food or drinking water, he had tried, carefully, the guard work was in place, and there was really nothing to do with him.

"This battle was very exciting!"

Xi Zhicai told Mu Jing in detail about the experience of this battle: "I only knew that Mr. Kong Ming's talent was extraordinary, in order to make a fortune in the world, but now I know that Mr. Kong Ming's martial arts strategy is even the same as Wen Tao's, from the layout at the beginning, to the step-by-step cooperation in the back, seamless, I can't do it!" ”

"It's not just Mr. Kong Ming's arm, Jiang Lu's cooperation is also good, the most important thing is that the two of them are marching together for the first time, there is such a tacit understanding, this is a rare thing!"

Mu Jing said with a smile.

"Lord, after this battle, I'm afraid the Kwantung coalition forces won't dare to chase after it anymore!"

"I've never been afraid of the Kwantung Coalition!"

Mu Jing said coldly: "Once Sun Jian and Cao Cao are defeated, the last bit of people's hearts in the Kwantung Alliance will be gone, not only will they not dare to chase, but I am afraid they will not stay in Guanzhong!" ”

"Then the Xiliang Army is left!"

Xi Zhicai squinted: "How determined will Dong Zhuo be?" ”

How much determination means how much force is deployed.

"Dong Zhongying was born in a war-torn place, he has been able to crisscross Xiliang for so long and achieve his current status, he will definitely understand a truth, a truth of survival!" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly, this was a sarcastic smile.

"What's the truth?"

"Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again!"

The corners of Mu Jing's mouth were lined up, with a smile of evil spirit, and he said word by word: "So he will fight with all his strength, and he will cut me down and eradicate the roots, so that he can sleep at ease!" ”

"In this way, we are afraid that we will be under a lot of pressure!"

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.

They are in a hurry to leave Guanzhong now, if they are forced by the Xiliang army, the bloody battle in Guanzhong will inevitably outweigh the losses.

"Before we leave Guanzhong, we always have to fight!"

Mu Jing clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with this firm determination, and said coldly: "The hatred of killing my father, I don't share the sky, I have nothing to do when I am in Luoyang, I can endure it, but now, as long as they dare to chase after me, I dare to fight with them, if I don't fight with them, I am unwilling after all!" ”
