Chapter 7: Cao Cao chases Dong Zhuo
For the prosperity of Luoyang, Lu Bu is deeply impressed, the palace in the city is magnificent, just the height of the city has reached ten zhang, which is the height of the Han Dynasty except for Chang'an, other cities can not be compared.
The two-hundred-year-old capital city of Luoyang, with a population of more than one million, was burned by Dong Zhuo's fire, and how many people died because of this, although there were fluctuations in his heart, he suppressed it well for Lu Bu, and after fusing with Lu Bu's soul, he found that he didn't pay so much attention to the death of ordinary people, perhaps because he had experienced too many bloody scenes.
After a night of travel, the closer you get to Luoyang City, the higher the temperature in the air.
On the way, Lu Bu received an order from Dong Zhuo to lead a large army to escort the supplies in the rear.
Dong Zhuo looted in Luoyang City, but he got too much gold, silver and jewelry, and not only that, but even the imperial tomb was plagued by Dong Zhuo's order Li Dao.
Looting so much wealth is precisely for Dong Zhuo to continue to make waves after returning to Chang'an.
"General, my subordinates have a word, please retreat." Jia Xuce immediately stepped forward and whispered.
Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu in surprise when he heard this, since the last time he forced Jia Xu to say where he was going next, Jia Xu had remained silent.
Jia Xu's heart is not bitter, following Dong Zhuo's army, although he was scolded by the Kwantung princes, he was still a courtier of the court, so Lu Bu was brought to the army, but Lu Bu wanted to get out of Dong Zhuo's control, this is an extremely risky thing, and if he is not careful, his life will be in danger.
Jia Xu wanted to escape, but Hao Meng, the general next to Lu Bu, was directly responsible for his safety, which extinguished Jia Xu's desire to escape.
From Lu Bu's previous words, Jia Xu could feel that Lu Bu would definitely take him away, if Lu Bu was in danger, he might die in front of Lu Bu first, Lu Bu was an outlaw, and there was no need for him to put his life into it because of the battle of will.
After Lu Buping retreated, Jia Xu said in a low voice: "This is the opportunity for Wen Hou. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bu asked.
"Xiangguo ordered Wen Hou to be responsible for the escort of the rear materials, showing that Xiang Guo was not wary of Wen Hou, and how valuable these materials were, although they were only a small part of them, if they were obtained, it would be enough for Wen Hou to gain a foothold in Xuzhou." Jia Xu's voice became lower and lower.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, escorting supplies is indeed a great opportunity.
"Wen He's words are reasonable, if there is such a thing in the future, Wen He should mention it more, and it will also make Ben plan in advance." Lu Bu said lightly.
"Wen Hou, don't worry." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu couldn't see Jia Xu's thoughts, if he wanted to make such a character use it for himself, he had to make him feel the danger, so that Jia Xu would make suggestions from it, and this incident is a good proof.
Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, not only looted materials, but also took away the people in Luoyang City, on the way there were sergeants and soldiers to take care of them, and when they encountered the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not move forward, the soldiers in the army would give them a sharp knife.
The surrounding areas of Chang'an are no longer as prosperous as before, and bringing the people to it will be more beneficial to Dong Zhuo's development, and besides, the homes of these people have been burned, even if they stay in Luoyang, what can they do.
On the second day after taking over the supplies, Lu Bu received news of Dong Zhuo's summons.
At this time, Dong Zhuo summoned him, which inevitably made Lu Bu suspicious in his heart, and after asking Jia Xu, he went to the Chinese army.
At this time, the army marched to the border of Xingyang, and Xingyang Taishou was Xu Rong, a general under Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong was not only good at leading troops, but also quite capable in governing the place, and was a rare talent under Dong Zhuo's account.
After Dong Zhuo saw that the important generals in the army had gathered, he nodded to Li Ru.
Li Ru understood, and said slowly: "Xiangguo gave up Luoyang, I thought that the princes of Kwantung would have a large army to pursue them, and Xiangguo could order a large army to ambush the mountain dock outside the city, if there were princes chasing troops coming, they could be let go, and Xiangguo would defeat them here, and then intercept and cover them, which would inevitably make the princes panic and dare not pursue easily." ”
When the generals in the army heard this, they praised one after another, and Dong Zhuo also showed a satisfied smile.
"Xu Rong, Li Dao, and Guo Yan respectively led 5,000 elite soldiers, responsible for defeating the pursuing soldiers, Feng Xian led the troops and horses of the headquarters behind, and when the chasing soldiers failed, they took the opportunity to cover up and kill." Dong Zhuo ordered.
"Whoa." The four of them said in unison.
Dong Zhuo set his eyes on Lu Budao: "Feng Xian is brave, he will definitely be able to kill the generals and capture the flag, and the matter of materials in the army must not be slackened." ”
"The last will understand." Lu Bu hugged his fists.
And said that after Dong Zhuo gave up Luoyang, the defenders of the checkpoints around Luoyang were transferred to ninety percent, Dong Zhuo's general Zhao Cen, seeing that the general trend had gone, opened the gate and offered the Bishui Pass, after Sun Jian drove the troops to seize the pass, he went straight to Luoyang, and the army outside the Tiger Prison Pass also entered the pass.
Cao Cao saw that the princes were stationed outside the city, he was anxious, and persuaded the princes to pursue Dong Zhuo, but the princes shirked, and even the alliance leader Yuan Shao also had such an attitude, Cao Cao was angry, and led more than 10,000 troops in his headquarters, leading Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin, and chased Dong Zhuo in the starry night.
Dong Zhuozhi's army has a lot of grain, grass, baggage and people, and the speed of movement is naturally slow.
Cao Cao led the army all the way over, and when he saw the corpses of many people on the way, he sighed.
Just after the pursuit to Xingyang, Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw the team in front of him, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go out and rush over.
At this moment, the rumbling war drums suddenly sounded, and Li Dao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill from the left.
Cao Cao was in a hurry, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be prepared when the army retreated, and hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to meet the enemy.
The war drums on the right sounded again, but it was Guo Yan who led 5,000 elite soldiers to kill, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to meet the enemy, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were unstoppable.
It was originally the pursuing party, but at this time it fell into the ambush of the enemy, and the panic of the generals in the army can be imagined, Li Dao and Guo Yan led the elite Flying Bear Army, rushing into Cao Cao's army, such as entering a no-man's land, and Cao Cao's army was in chaos for a while.
Cao Cao was about to retreat, and the sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the rear, Xu Rong ambushed his troops, and the officers and men in the army had no will to fight, and they were in chaos.
After ordering his soldiers to block for a while, Cao Cao led his troops to Xingyang.
After escaping from the pursuit of Xu Rong's army, Cao Cao's expression was no longer full of confidence before, the elite of the army under Dong Zhuo's command was far from being comparable to the army of the princes, and what was even more terrifying was that under Dong Zhuo's account, there were wise and resourceful people.
Walked to the foot of a barren mountain, about two watches, at this time the moon was as bright as day, Cao Cao gathered the army, was about to bury the pot to make rice, only to hear the shouts of killing around again.
The first person, more than nine feet long, neighing red rabbit horse under him, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, majestic, is Lu Bu who is ambushed here.
