Chapter 232: Dong Zhuo fled westward

Cao Cao let everyone digest the bombshell news.

The news is too big, and everyone hasn't fully adapted to it at the moment.

After a while, Yuan Shaocai said: "Meng De, this source is accurate, it is not the news that Xiliang deliberately released. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the body to be carried up.

"It's really Li Ru."

This Yuan Shao has also seen Li Ru, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao did not leave immediately, and met Li Ru a few times.

Everyone was in an uproar, Li Ru died at this moment, which was too helpful to Dong Daye.

Yuan Shao became excited, walked back and forth a few steps, and then said, "How did he die?" ”

Cao Cao was also excited, didn't think about it so much, and blurted out: "Zhang Ming sent someone to kill, Li Ru and Fan Chou are dead, and Fan Chou's body was not brought back." ”

The atmosphere inside the tent was cold.

The faces of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the other princes immediately froze.

Zhang Ming killed.

How could it be Zhang Ming's killing.

This Yuan Shao was very complicated in his heart.

At this point, no one could laugh.

After a while, Yuan Shao sat back in his seat and said, "Since Li Ru is dead, then we will break through the Tiger Prison Pass in a few days." ”

"Alliance leader, you should attack at this time." Cao Cao didn't understand at all, why did Yuan Shao suddenly decide not to fight.

"Meng De, now that Li Ru is dead, the blow to Xiliang is huge, we should slow down the attack at this time, and soon they will retreat, saving us the lives of many soldiers." Yuan Shao said.

"Reasonable."

"What the Alliance Leader said is very true."

“+1”

Everyone immediately echoed Yuan Shao and settled the matter.

This Cao Cao was completely confused.

What's going on.

Everyone has decided, what can Cao Cao do.

When Cao Cao went back, he realized that Yuan Shao was afraid that Zhang Ming had taken the credit for breaking through the Tiger Prison.

At this time, the onslaught and the breakthrough of the Tiger Prison Pass were the biggest credit to Zhang Ming's, and a group of them only had hard work.

Drag it out for a few days, and then attack again, and then the credit can be brushed off, and there is nothing to do with Zhang Ming.

This Yuan Shao was really experienced in political struggle.

Everyone also understands that this is to make Zhang Ming have no credit.

Cao Cao was sad and angry, and he fought against Dong well, there were so many struggles in it.

Cao Cao had no choice but to go back and wait.

"Hey, this alliance has no original intention." At this time, Cao Cao was still bent on reviving the Han family.

Zhang Ming was also quite surprised, why didn't they storm the Tiger Prison?

However, after Xi Zhicai's explanation, Zhang Ming understood that this group of ancients was fighting.

Then let them fight, and Zhang Ming continued to arrange his affairs.

Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is going crazy.

He stepped up his efforts to scrape and sent out troops to rob many of the tombs.

Li Ru's death stimulated Dong Zhuo a lot, as if he knew that there was no hope of fighting back.

If this man has no hope, it is the most terrible thing, and he can do anything.

Dong Zhuo is about to run, and his run must be hell on earth.

Zhang Ming stayed for three days, and he came out to hang around for the past three days.

One night three days later, Zhang Ming quietly disappeared with someone.

Some of the people in his barracks also disappeared.

It's just that there are no outsiders in his barracks, and half of them are missing, and no one will find out.

From the outside, everything is normal, but inside there are a lot of people missing.

After Zhang Ming left, he appeared outside Luoyang City this time.

He hid in a place more than ten miles outside Luoyang City.

"Lord, Luoyang City has been blocked for several days, and the Xiliang Army has been coming out to dig the surrounding mausoleums, as long as there is a little status, the mausoleums have been dug up."

"Even the tomb of the former emperor Liu Hong was dug up."

The intelligence officer reported the situation to Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming felt very normal.

"Dong Zhuo, this is the last madness before running away, let's prepare on the way west."

If you want to flee west to Chang'an, the road is still long, and it takes more than ten or twenty days to walk, and some places start.

In the evening, Zhang Ming and they left.

Finally, after three days of searching, Zhang Ming and the others found the army that had been ambushed a long time ago.

"Big brother."

Guan Yu saw Zhang Ming.

"Five thousand troops, ambush here, it's convenient."

It is more than thirty miles away from the main road, and hiding so far is afraid of being discovered by the Xiliang army that comes and goes.

"Big brother, it's not easy to get grain and grass, and we can only last for about six days if we bring it ourselves."

"Six days should be about the same, I have people use hot air balloons to deliver food to you day and night, it should last two more days, and it will be about the same by then."

Dong Zhuo has been preparing for a few days, and he should be about to leave Luoyang.

Sure enough, Zhang Ming and the others waited for three days, and Dong Zhuo was about to run away.

Dong Zhuo ordered the first army to fight westward.

After that, he personally led tens of thousands of troops with him.

At the same time, after he set off, he recalled Lu Bu.

However, Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass are still defended, and they will not act until all the people in Luoyang are withdrawn.

It took another three days for the soldiers and civilians inside to retreat.

Large processions, millions of people, slowly moving westward.

At this time, Xu Rong was ordered to break off.

Originally, Xu Rong was about to die, but fortunately, Zhang Ming's medicine was delivered in time and saved Xu Rong's life.

After another two days, Dong Zhuo ordered a fire to burn Luoyang City and everything around it.

When the fire broke out, Sun Jian broke through the Bishui Pass, and he hurriedly marched to Luoyang, and then sent someone to summon Yuan Shao.

Sun Jian hurried in the starry night.

On the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, when the defenders learned that the Bishui Pass had been broken, they also immediately retreated, not daring to delay a little.

Sun Jian rushed outside Luoyang City overnight, but when he saw it, the entire Luoyang City was burning, and his army couldn't enter at all, so he could only wait outside.

At this time, Zhang Ming was ambushing on the road to the west.

When Dong Zhuo's carriage passed, Zhang Ming said to Guan Yu: "I will take Zilong to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and I will do it in a few days, and you will ambush Dong Zhuo when you find an opportunity. ”

The cars were loaded with the wealth collected from Luoyang, and there were thousands of cars in total.

It's a pity that so many good things are given to Dong Zhuo.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei told Zhang Ming to be careful, and they prepared to ambush Dong Zhuo's army.

In other words, the princes of Kwantung also rushed to Luoyang.

When everyone arrived, this Luoyang City couldn't enter at all.

Yuan Shao immediately decided to send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.

The army pursued Dong Zhuo, and after a day of pursuit, he was ambushed by Xu Rong, and everyone was killed.

Although the allies were powerful, Xu Rong was very good, and he defeated the allied army.

After breaking through Luoyang, the allies had no intention of fighting again and did not continue the pursuit.

Cao Cao was in a hurry and went to the allied camp to find everyone.

"Originally, the highway, my lords, now that Dong Zhuo has left the city, it is a good time for us to pursue." Cao Cao painstakingly persuaded.

Yuan Shao said: "Our allies have been fighting hard for more than a year, and the soldiers are really tired, so they should rest and recuperate before marching." ”
