and Cao Cao's direction of march, but the left and right flanks of our army and the rear should also be specially sent scouts to guard. Go ahead! ”

"No!" Wu Ping responded.

"This time there is no vanguard, the whole army acts in unison, and an hour later the whole army sets off to hunt down Dong Zhuo." Fu Lin said.

"No!" The crowd responded.

An hour later, Fu Lin's soldiers and horses also set off to leave Luoyang, and at this point, only Yuan Shao's own soldiers and horses were left in Luoyang.

Just when Yuan Shao was thinking about how to deprive Sun Jian of the jade seal of the country, Cao Cao led 5,000 men and horses from the headquarters to chase Dong Zhuo in the starry night, in fact, Cao Cao seemed to be chasing and killing the traitors for the Han Dynasty, but in fact, Cao Cao wanted to capture Liu Xie in his hands and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. This is also the reason why Liu Xie later said that Cao Cao's name was Han Xiangshi and he was a Han thief.

But Cao Cao didn't expect that Li Ru had long expected that Cao Cao would lead his troops to chase after him, Li Ru asked Lu Bu to stay behind, and as a result, Cao Cao let Lu Bu kill the big defeat, if it wasn't for his generals to protect Cao Cao, Cao Cao would have died in this chaotic army. In the end, Cao Cao could only lead the remnants of the defeated army and return to Hanoi with more than 500 people.

Let's say that Fu Lin led his subordinates to chase Dong Zhuo quickly, and at this time, Fu Lin also received a return from the scout, saying that Cao Cao had been defeated. And Dong Zhuo's army stretched for more than 200 miles, including the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, hundreds of officials and hundreds of thousands of people, as well as Dong Zhuo's more than 200,000 Xiliang troops. Naturally, there are also a lot of gold jewelry that Dong Zhuo snatched.

Fu Lin asked the soldiers and horses to catch up, and even asked the scouts to report back once in half an hour, and Fu Lin's soldiers and horses chased for another day and night, because the soldiers and horses were too tired, Fu Lin had to let his subordinates find a favorable terrain and set up camp first.

The straight-line distance from Luoyang to Chang'an is 800 miles, and the road in the Eastern Han Dynasty is extremely inconvenient, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of miles.

Three days later, when Fu Lin was resting in a small mountain village, Tanma reported that he had found traces of Dong Zhuoxi's Liangjun. So Fu Lin asked the scout to report to him.

In a courtyard where Fu Lin was temporarily resting, a dusty scout said: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates have chased more than two hundred miles and finally found the trace of the Xiliang Army, but from the footprints, it seems that it is a little messy, and there are deep rut marks. Judging by the subordinates, these vehicles must be Dong Zhuo's vehicles transporting treasures, please decide? ”

Fu Lin listened carefully, although there was a trace of Dong Zhuoxi's Liangjun, but from the results of the scout's report, there was no effective information, so Fu Lin said: "Very good, you can rest for a while and then explore." ”

"No!" The scout replied. After the scout left, Fu Lin was thinking carefully, how to reap the benefits in Dong Zhuo's hands?

"My lord! There is also a scout return, saying that there is an important lead return. Zhao Yu said.

"Let him come in and talk back." Fu Lin said.

After a while, I saw a scout walk in, and the person who came was also tired, and he didn't even breathe.

Fu Lin said: "Give him a glass of water." "No!" A guard answered.

Boom! Boom! Yes!

"Thank you, my lord! The subordinates chased out more than 200 miles and found the traces of the Xiliang Army, but they did not find a human figure, so the subordinates chased for more than 100 miles privately, and finally found the traces of the Xiliang Army. Only some people and the Xiliang army that escorted the people and jewels were backward, and it seemed that they were not the elite of the Xiliang army from the perspective of military discipline. The subordinates thought that this might be that Lu Bu had already defeated Cao Cao once, and they must have thought that the allies would not dare to chase after them anymore, and now that the allies have been disbanded, Dong Zhuo has nothing to fear, so the subordinates think that we have a chance. The scout took another sip and said: "The subordinates bypassed these pressed Xiliang troops again, and found a deserted village in front of the Xiliang army, the terrain of the deserted village is suitable for ambush, there are only two exits in the front and rear, please decide?" ”

"How many men do they have? How long will it take us to catch up with them? Fu Lin asked.

The scout thought for a moment and said, "There are about 50,000 people, 500 carts of jewelry, and about 10,000 soldiers and horses escorted. These people may be left behind, although they are not all of Dong Zhuo's treasures, but the number is also considerable! Fast horses can catch up in a day and night, and they can catch up on foot for two days. The distance from us is about 300 miles. ”

"Okay, come and reward two gold, go down! Take a break. Revisit. Fu Lin said.

"No! Thank you, Lord! The scout responded.

"Qiankun, go and invite the commanders and military divisions of each battalion to come." Fu Lin said.

"No!" Zhao Yu responded.

After a while, "Lord! What is the purpose of summoning us to come? The crowd said.

"I just received a report from the scouts, and I have already discovered the soldiers and horses behind the Xiliang army. Happily, this army is the one who fell behind in Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army. There weren't a lot of people either, so I decided to hit them. Do you have any proposals? Fu Lin asked.

"My lord! Move fast to prevent the enemy from coming back. It is best to have usable terrain. Xi Zhicai thought about it and said.

"Excellent! Is there anything else to say? Fu Lin asked again.

The others didn't have any opinions, and after a while, Guo Jia said: "Sometimes the strategy needs to be decided on the spot, let the subordinates go with you!" The concession army met us in the rear. ”

"Well, the people will obey the order! The Qinglong Battalion, the Vermilion Bird Battalion, and the County Barracks met us in the rear at a normal marching speed, with Liao Hua as the main one, Zhong Degong and the Opera Army Division as the deputies, and everyone else had to obey the orders of the three and there should be no mistakes. The Guards Battalion, the White Horse Battalion, and the Scout Battalion followed me in rapid pursuit. The cavalry set out an hour later, and the infantry rested here for the night, and there was no mistake in immediately pulling out the camp tomorrow morning. Bong Hyo acts with me. Fu Lin ordered.

"No!" The crowd responded. "Brother Lin, what about me?" Cheng Ying pouted and said with disgust.

"Ying'er also stayed with your brother." Fu Lin said, looking at what Cheng Ying was going to say, Fu Lin then said: "It's decided." Cheng Ying pouted and didn't say anything more.

An hour later, all of Fu Lin's cavalry, more than 1,200 horsemen, set off after being fully equipped. Fu Lin and the others hurried to catch up.

**

Hangu Pass, the place where Fu Lin once fought with Zhang Chun and others. Now Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army has come to Hangu Pass.

There are all kinds of things to do, and there are people who rest and eat. However, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang also have them in the west of Hangu Pass, and there are also in the east of Hangu Pass. In short, it is sparse and stretches for hundreds of miles!

More than 150 miles east of Hangu Pass, there is a Xiliang army escorting, Dong Zhuo snatched the gold, silver and jewelry from Luoyang, as well as the people from Luoyang, are slowly marching. This mixed army of soldiers and horses has fallen behind for three or four hundred miles. It was Zhang Ji who was in charge of the escort, of course, this was Dong Zhuo's order, Dong Zhuo agreed with Li Ru's opinion to let Lu Bu break off, but after Lu Bu killed Cao Cao's pursuers, he rushed forward privately and gave up this backward Xiliang army. Zhang Ji also had a move, so he asked one of his subordinates to replace him in the future, and Zhang Ji left 5,000 old and weak remnants to the general, and Zhang Ji himself rushed forward privately.

Four hours later, Fu Lin's soldiers and horses chased out one hundred and fifty miles in one go, and all the soldiers and horses were exhausted, so Zhao Yu said, "The lord should rest for a while!" If all the soldiers and horses are exhausted, there will be no strength for a battle. ”

"Good! Tell the whole army to rest in a roadside hideout! Fu Lin said.

"The lord has an order, and the whole army should rest in a hidden place on the side of the road!" Zhao Yu shouted.
