After shouting a few times, Zhang Hao was also tired, so he returned to the formation. Of course, he knew in his heart that he couldn't make Dong Zhuo surrender with his own roar.

The purpose of this is just to prevent Dong Zhuo from escaping, and to burn Luoyang as in history, so as to protect this thousand-year-old capital and the people in the city.

Of course, it would be best if the magnates in the city could secretly contact them and open the city gates to let them into the city.

Not long after Zhang Hao returned to the barracks, a messenger from Dong Zhuo put down a hanging basket from the city and went directly to Zhang Hao's barracks.

"Pingbei General Zhang Hao received the edict." After seeing Zhang Hao, the envoy took out an edict as soon as possible.

But all the people in the camp still sat in their seats, and without saying a word, looked at the messenger in silence.

The messenger was a little furious in his heart when he was watched, and asked weakly, "What do you mean by this, why don't you kneel down and receive the edict?" ”

"Now that the Son of Heaven is in the hands of Dong Thief, what kind of edict will there be, you better say it quickly, what does the traitor Dong Zhuo ask you to say?" Zhang Hao said heavily.

"Speak quickly!" The others also shouted.

The messenger trembled with fear, these people have no reverence at all, no matter what, this is also the edict of the Son of Heaven, how can they be treated like this.

But there is no way, people are under the eaves, and they can only bow their heads when they should bow their heads. "The emperor's edict said: Pingbei General Zhang Hao broke through Wuhuan, protected the territory and the people, and contributed to the country. The first emperor did not have a reward at the time, but now he makes up for it, and seals Zhang Hao as the general of the left, changes to Xiangpinghou, and increases the number of households in the city by 5,000......"

After that, the envoy also promoted the official titles of Cao Cao and Bao Xin in the camp. Then he said with a smile: "You have been added to the knighthood, congratulations, congratulations." ”

Zhang Hao sneered: "What's the matter, isn't Dong Zhuomo scared and wants to bribe us with his official position?" ”

"General Zhang is really good at laughing." The envoy smiled unnaturally, "I have said that this is the will of the Son of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with the Taiwei." ”

"Huh? I've been abolishing the post of Tai Lieutenant for a long time, who are you talking about? ”

The corners of the envoy's mouth twitched, thinking that he couldn't argue with Zhang Hao about a problem, otherwise it would become more and more troublesome.

When Zhang Hao hadn't said this question, he continued: "This time I came to see General Zhang, in addition to announcing the decree to you, I also brought good news. ”

In the end, he was just an errand runner, and Zhang Hao didn't continue to embarrass him. "Oh, tell me, what's the good news?"

The envoy smiled: "When General Zhang leveled the Yellow Turban, he was also a subordinate of the Taiwei for a period of time, and the Taiwei knew that the general was a hero who was not born in the world today.

As expected, the general was only thirty years old and was already on the pastoral side, under the third duke. I have come to propose marriage to the general.

Taiwei has a daughter, named Dong Wan, sixteen years old, beautiful as a flower, a general, just a good match. ”

Zhang Hao was really shocked by this good news, Dong Zhuo actually wanted to recruit himself as a son-in-law!

But after the shock, he also knew that Dong Zhuo still wanted to marry Sun Jian in history. He forced him to this point, and it was not surprising that he came up with this trick.

"Hahaha~" Zhang Hao laughed, and the others also laughed. They were also amused by Dong Zhuo's dog jumping off the wall.

After laughing enough, Zhang Hao stopped and looked at the messenger: "Don't Dong Zhuo know that I have been married for many years, and he wants his daughter to be a concubine?" ”

"Of course I know, but with the current identity of the general, I happen to be a good match with the captain, how can a woman from a small family be worthy? It is better to take a break to marry the daughter of the captain. ”

"Dong Zhuo is thinking of a good idea, hahaha~" Zhang Hao laughed at everyone again, "He was defeated by Ding Yuan before, so he recruited Lu Bu as his son." Now that he is defeated by the coalition forces, he wants to recruit me as a son-in-law. ”

The others were also amused by Zhang Hao, only the envoy's expression stiffened, and said: "If the general agrees, then the general and the captain will be a family, and the general will have whatever he wants in the future, isn't it beautiful?"

And since it's a family, isn't it just for outsiders to see a joke when they meet each other, it's better to be with the captain, or ......"

"Speaking of which, he just wants me to retire, doesn't he?"

"The general is really heroic, I didn't say you guessed it, hehehe."

The expression on Zhang Hao's face became colder and colder: "Dong Zhuo thinks that everyone in the world is like him, greedy for power and wealth, and has no loyalty, righteousness and shame?" ”

He stood up, drew his sword, and slowly walked over to the messenger.

When the envoy saw this posture, he was already trembling, but now the task was not completed. He can't go yet. Keep repeating the sentence "I am the messenger of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Hao doesn't dare to do anything to himself" in his heart to comfort himself.

"By what you just said, you deserve death!" Zhang Hao said, and suddenly stabbed his raised hand.

Everyone was taken aback by this move and stood up to stop it. After all, this is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, even if he is ordered by Dong Zhuo, he still represents the Son of Heaven. If you kill him, you will provoke the condemnation of the world.

It was just that it seemed to be a false alarm, and they all saw it, and there was no blood on the messenger's chest.

The envoy looked at the sword under his armpit dumbfounded, just now he really thought he was going to die, but fortunately Zhang Hao deliberately deviated a little, otherwise he would have died on the spot if he stabbed into the heart.

However, the coolness from the lower half of his body made him feel that it was better to die like this.

Zhang Hao said: "You worked for the traitor Dong Zhuo, and humiliated my wife, it was a capital crime, I will spare your life because you are the messenger of the Son of Heaven, go back and tell Dong Zhuo, let him wash his neck and wait, I will personally take his head, get out!" ”

The messenger trembled and was about to say goodbye, so that he could leave the place where he had lost face as soon as possible.

At this time, the scout who was patrolling outside the city came back and reported: "General, the Xiliang army in the city escaped from the West Gate just a quarter of an hour ago!" ”

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

The faces of Bao Xin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others showed joy, which didn't mean that they and others could enter Luoyang without blood.

Zhang Hao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei became solemn.

Cao Cao asked, "Is only the Xiliang army running away?" ”

"There are also a lot of richly decorated carriages, and the Xiliang Army is the guardian of these carriages."

Zhang Hao and Cao Cao suddenly shouted in unison: "It's not good, the Son of Heaven has been robbed!" ”

The others looked at the two of them in disbelief with their mouths wide open, and no one paid any attention to the messenger even when he fled.

"Now Dong Zhuo hasn't run far yet, let's chase after it!" Zhang Hao said.

Cao Cao nodded: "I'll go with Mingde." ”

Liu Bei also wanted to be together, but was rejected by Zhang Hao: "Meng De and I led 10,000 cavalry to chase, and Xuande and Yuncheng led the remaining 2,000 men and horses into the city to maintain order." ”

Liu Bei was a little disappointed, this was a good opportunity to make a great contribution, and he said unwillingly: "Then let my second brother Yun Chang go with me, and I can have a helper." ”

"Okay."

……

A quarter of an hour may be completely impossible for the cavalry to catch up, but when the Xiliang army fled, they also brought the Son of Heaven and the minister, which became a burden to them.

It didn't take long for Zhang Hao to catch up with them.

Looking at Zhang Hao, who was getting closer and closer, Dong Zhuo was anxious, knowing that he had sent these people away last night.

It's a pity that I patronized and sent those belongings away last night, but I didn't expect this.

"Niu Fu, you lead your subordinates to stop it." Dong Zhuo shouted.

As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu can be said to be loyal to Dong Zhuo, and at such a critical moment, he still led his subordinates and turned around and rushed towards Zhang Hao without hesitation.

The two sides immediately fought together, and because of Niu Fu's desperate blocking, Zhang Hao had to stop and defeat him first.

Niu Fu is also a top-ranked fierce general under Dong Zhuo's command, and he is perfect with a big axe, slashing left and right in the formation, no matter which soldier he is, he can't withstand his axe.

Cao Cao sighed: "I didn't expect that under Dong Zhuo's command, in addition to Lu Bu, there are such fierce generals. ”

Suddenly, he saw a person with a long knife rushing over on the side, it was Guan Yu under Liu Bei's command. This usually taciturn and arrogant man made a very good impression on Cao Cao.

Previously, he had also heard about the deeds of the Four Heroes fighting Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison, but at that time he was on the other side and did not have the opportunity to see Guan Yu's martial arts, so now he happened to see it.

When Niu Fu saw Guan Yu coming, he didn't slack off, and immediately greeted him.

He wielded the big axe, and after he had enough momentum, he slashed towards Guan Yu's head. I only heard the sound of dang.

Niu Fu watched in shock as he struck with all his strength, but was easily blocked by Guan Yu, feeling the sharp pain coming from the tiger's mouth.

It looks like he's got a tricky opponent.

For the enemy, Guan Yu will not show mercy. After he blocked Ushisuke's attack, he immediately counterattacked, raising his long knife and slashing at Usuke's neck.

Niu Fu hurriedly blocked, and the power from his hand almost split him off the horse.

After the blow, Guan Yu launched a more fierce attack, and Niu Fu could only struggle to support it.

Cao Cao's eyes were full of light when he looked at Guan Yu, and he thought: Such a fierce general should be used by me.

Ten rounds later, Ushisuke's axe was slashed out, and his eyes widened as he watched a white glow get closer and closer to him. The head flew out, and the body fell from the horse.

As soon as Niu Fu died, the remaining Xiliang army immediately gave up resistance and surrendered to Zhang Hao. Leaving Tai Shici to collect the prisoners, Zhang Hao continued to chase after him.

The battle just now dragged on for a long time, and Zhang Hao chased all the way to Gucheng without finding the wake of the Xiliang army.

By the time they saw the Xiliang Army, half of their team had already entered Hangu Pass.

Zhang Hao chased until the pass, and when he saw that the team had completely entered the city pass and the city gate was closed, he yelled unwillingly, "Damn!" ”

A large wave of arrows rained down on the city, and Zhang Hao had to lead his army out of range.

"Zhang Hao, you've been sent away, please go back, hahaha~" Dong Zhuo stood on the top of the city and laughed, it was rare for him to be so happy.

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth, but he was helpless. At this point, the matter is irreparable, and it is impossible to capture Hangu Pass with these cavalry.

"Retreat!"
