Chapter 42: Secession
"Lu Bu is actually defeated!"
"No, he was too careless, he didn't expect that the other party was a soul refining master, and the shot was a lore spell, and he was caught off guard, so he was defeated! If Lu Bu was more cautious, maybe it would be the opponent who lost!"
"Great, Lu Bu is defeated, and we are also saved!"
Wang Gai and several scholars couldn't help but smile when they saw the scene of Lu Bu's defeat, and two of them almost cheered. They looked at the Liangzhou soldiers with resentful eyes, and the excitement of being about to get out was in their chests.
In the distance, Lu Bu retreated with his soldiers and horses, Zhang Liao suddenly saw those gorgeous carriages on the road, couldn't help but come to Lu Bu's side, and said softly: "General, the people and gold and silver are enough, but those children of the Luoyang family can't be let go!
When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, it all relied on a surprise, and Lu Bu suppressed it with strong strength, including the Yuan family of Runan, they thought that although Dong Zhuo's strength was strong, as long as they worked hard, they could defeat him in the court.
At that time, the prestige of the Han royal family was still there, and all the children of the family were just thinking about solving the problem through court means, but they didn't expect that Dong Zhuo felt that he couldn't play with them, so he flipped the table. Let Lu Bu suddenly make a move and defeat all the families.
If these families are given time and opportunity, each family can pull up a large army. It's a pity that they failed before they could make a move, Lu Bu thought of the background of these families, and his face sank slightly.
"Gao Shun, you go and take people to take away all the children of these princesses' families! As for the people and gold and silver, don't bring them!" Lu Bu immediately gave an order.
Gao Shun respectfully accepted the order, and then took the trap camp, like catching a chicken cub, and brought out all the children of the family, Wang Gai and these people thought that they could get out of Dong Zhuo's hands, but they didn't expect to encounter this situation, they couldn't bear it one by one, and scolded, and then the arrested Liangzhou soldiers slapped them twice.
There was a sharp pain on the face, and some people even lost their teeth after being beaten, and they reacted. I was extremely depressed.
......
"Lord, Lu Bu has taken all the children of those families away, should we take action to rescue them?" asked Xi Zhicai in a low voice.
Gao Cheng waved his hand and said: "No, we marched all the way to catch up, and fought with Lu Bu for a while, it is already the end of the crossbow, and the soldiers have lost too much, and they can no longer fight hard!"
What he said is also true, just now he took the lead to defeat Lu Bu, but his own true yuan was rapidly consumed, and his subordinates also lost thousands. This is not the time to fight again.
Xi Zhicai sighed slightly when he heard this, it was worth the trip to save hundreds of thousands of people, and it can only be said that those children of the family were unlucky.
After LĂź Bu withdrew, hundreds of thousands of people were left unattended and immediately became chaotic, and some of them took the opportunity to snatch the goods on the carriage and then fled for their lives in the wilderness on both sides.
"Uncle Zhi, you go and lead people to maintain order, and those who dare to make trouble will be killed! Zhou Cang, you go and bring people to take the gold and silver away!" Gao Cheng kept giving orders.
Dong Zhuo has gone away with millions of people and countless gold and silver, and Lu Bu, a peerless fierce general, is pressing behind, and no matter how much he pursues and kills, he can't get more cheap, so he can only accept it when he sees it.
After saving hundreds of thousands of people, a majestic force of fate was absorbed by Gao Cheng, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, after going north to the alliance, after several consecutive battles, and the power of fate obtained today, his fate points have broken three million.
Next, Gao Cheng sat in the center, and Chen Dao, Zhou Tai, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao led people to bring hundreds of thousands of people back to Luoyang and join Lu Dai.
At this time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other princes had already led a large army to Luoyang, and these princes were all stunned on the spot when they saw the city that had been burned to the open ground.
No one thought that the imperial capital that had dominated the Central Plains for hundreds of years would be destroyed like this, and the villages and forts around Luoyang were also swept away by Dong Zhuo's army, leaving them with no food.
There was no food and grass, and the army of the princes suddenly showed signs of collapse. At this time, there were rumors that Sun Jian found the heirloom jade seal in Luoyang, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went to ask them, and finally broke up with Sun Jian.
Gao Cheng set up camp in Luoyang, simply placed hundreds of thousands of people in the camp, and sent people to clean Luoyang, as the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, even if it was burned, there should be some useful things left.
He had the heart to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but Sun Jian was like an ant on a hot pot, and when the news of the jade seal of the country was leaked, he became the target of public criticism. After Sun Jian fell out with the Yuan brothers, he gritted his teeth and no longer thought about going west to Chang'an, and directly led his army south and left the army of princes.
"Okay! With Sun Jian taking the lead in breaking up, we can also go!" Gao Cheng was waiting for at this time. This time he went north to meet the alliance, he did not have any losses, but got tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of civilians and more than a dozen carts of gold and silver. The most valuable thing is to gain fame.
At this time, Gao Cheng's reputation has spread all over the Han world, and those families and forces have already taken Gao Cheng into their eyes. Think of him as an investment alternative.
However, Gao Cheng saved hundreds of thousands of people, and it was not so easy to go south to Lujiang. After discussing with Xi Zhicai and Chen Jiao, he could only select 100,000 healthy men and women from them, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of people still had a large amount of gold and silver, all of which were handed over to Han Fu and exchanged for a large amount of grain and grass from him.
Gao Cheng sighed in his heart that if hundreds of thousands of people were brought back to Lujiang, they would definitely be able to create a lot of value in the future, but from Luoyang to Lujiang, they traveled thousands of miles all the way, and there was not enough grain and grass to get off. He could only selectively select 100,000 people. This is already the limit.
On this day, Gao Cheng was sending people to cross the Yellow River and hand over to Pan Feng, who was escorting grain and grass, and Xi Zhicai suddenly came on horseback and brought the latest news.
"Lord, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, sent someone to kill Qiao Mao, and now the army of the princes is about to disperse! In addition, the Son ......of Heaven sent an edict to seal Sun Jian as the assassin of Yangzhou and the lord as the assassin of Xuzhou."
Xi Zhicai's expression was solemn, and he said urgently: "This is Dong Zhuo's provocative plan, preparing to let Sun Jian, Tao Qian and us have a conflict! Now that Sun Jian has left Luoyang and headed south, my lord, we must set off immediately to prevent Sun Jian from entering Yangzhou!"
Gao Cheng's expression was grim, and he appointed himself as the assassin of Xuzhou and Sun Jian as the assassin of Yangzhou? The original timeline has changed! Dong Zhuo appointed Sun Jian as the assassin of Yangzhou, and this Jiangdong tiger may not necessarily go to Jingzhou as he used to be.
