Luoyang and the Tiger Prison Pass are only fifty miles apart, and the smoke from the Luoyang fire can be seen in the Tiger Prison Pass.

After some investigation, the princes' alliance army learned that Dong Zhuo had returned to Luoyang overnight, and should have burned Luoyang, intending to flee west.

Shocked by the princes, they hurriedly broke through the Tiger Prison Pass, which was only guarded by thousands of old and weak soldiers, and killed Luoyang.

As soon as hundreds of thousands of troops arrived in Luoyang, they saw that Luoyang was not only on fire, but also completely populated, and Dong Zhuo even hijacked hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang, leaving them with only an empty city ruins.

The princes were dumbfounded and hurriedly put out the fire, but although the fire was extinguished, the city was still full of black smoke, and it was difficult to garrison troops, so the princes' coalition forces had to choose to camp in the wasteland outside the city.

Then the princes gathered to take counsel.

Cao Cao first asked, "Alliance leader, if you don't pursue Dong Zhuo at this moment, when will you stay?" ”

At this time, Liu Yu, who claims to be a 'clan member of the Han family', of course can't be silent, he also hurriedly got up and said: "Dong thief burned the palace and robbed the Son of Heaven and hundreds of thousands of people, which is a great crime. The survival of this society is critical, and it must not stand still, and should immediately send troops to pursue! ”

"The people have spoken very much." Cao Cao nodded, Liu Yu's words were exactly what he wanted to say, and he immediately said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, quickly order the troops." The Dong thief was taken in the situation of the princes of the Nineteenth Road such as us, like water, the tiger prison was two battles, the Dong thief army was defeated, the soldiers had no fighting heart, and the morale of our coalition army was like a rainbow, at this time, a battle must kill Dong Zhuo, and the opportunity must not be missed. ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao and Liu Yu, of course he refused to listen to Cao Cao and Liu Yu, Dong Zhuo was defeated one after another, but the elite main force was not lost, there were still 200,000 troops, in this case, Dong Zhuo continued to fight, that is, he could win, and the coalition army must have suffered heavy casualties, and then it may not be able to win, in short, the gains outweigh the losses, anyway, it can 'recover' Luoyang, which is enough to Yang He is the power of the alliance leader, he does not want to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo's army, so it is better for Dong Zhuo's army to escape back to Guanzhong.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shao said: "The princes, soldiers and horses are already tired, and it is useless to enter the army at this time." ”

"Yes, it is useless to march at this time, and you should not move lightly." The other princes of the Sixteenth Route also thought the same as Yuan Shao, wishing that Dong Zhuo would lead the army to escape to Guanzhong, so that the Central Plains would be their world, how could they be willing to chase and kill Dong Zhuo and fight with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang elite.

Hearing the words of the princes, Cao Cao and Liu Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's anger.

Whether Cao Cao is really angry or not, Liu Yu doesn't know, but Liu Yu knows that his anger is completely faked, anyway, he is definitely not angry, but as a 'Han clan relative', he always has to show that he is not.

Therefore, Liu Yu took a step ahead of Cao Cao, shook his robe angrily, turned to leave, walked to the tent door, and turned around and angrily reprimanded the princes: "You wait for the erector, it is not enough to conspire!" ”

After the reprimand, Liu Yu really left. In fact, not to mention how cool Liu Yu scolded in his heart at the moment, and secretly said that he really had the momentum of a 'big guy' just now.

Cao Cao followed Liu Yu and also threw off his robe and left.

After Liu Yu and Cao Cao returned to their respective camps, they both gathered their troops and horses and went to hunt down Dong Zhuo.

went to chase and kill Dong Zhuo, although Liu Yu also went, but he was a little slower than Cao Cao, and only let Cao Cao's army rush ahead.

Cao Cao deeply felt that Liu Yu's words in the camp to angrily denounce Yuan Shao and the princes coincided with him, and he only felt that Liu Yu and himself cherished each other, and for a while, he didn't realize the big pit that Liu Yu dug for him.

Cao Cao led the army in front, Liu Yu led the army ten miles behind, and the two armies pursued and killed Dong Zhuo Xiliang's army before and after.

On Dong Zhuo's side, with Li Ru as a strategist, of course he would prevent the princes' coalition forces from chasing and killing, so when he went to Xingyang, he ordered Lu Bu to set up an ambush and break the army.

Let's say that Cao Cao led the army violently, and Cao Cao's heart was surging, I saw him chasing while proudly saying to the generals such as Le Jin around him: "If we can rob the holy car this time, it will definitely be the first credit of the Han court, and from then on, the princes of all towns will be impressed with us, and the court will at least entitle me as the history of the Xiliang Thorn, or the history of the Yuzhou Thorn, so that I can lay a great cause." ”

"The lord is smart, but the lord, we only brought less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and although Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army was defeated, there were still nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses." Le Jin first complimented, and then questioned.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue, not in the outnumbered soldiers, the army that flees is not afraid of it." Besides, Liu Yu and Liu Shimin also led the army behind us, these three brothers together are several times more heroic than Lu Bu, so this pursuit, our army will win. ”

Cao Cao was conceited, and he overestimated himself, and underestimated Dong Zhuoxiliang's army, which had Li Ru's plan.

When he chased to Xingyang, Cao Cao encountered Lu Bu and tens of thousands of elite Western Liang army interceptions.

Lu Bu pointed at Cao Cao and laughed: "Hahahaha, as Li Ru expected, the princes really have chasing soldiers." Cao Cao, you are a coward who betrays the master, how dare you come to chase and kill! ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "Dong Zhuo rebelled against the thief, robbed the Son of Heaven, exiled the people, burned Luoyang, brought disaster to the country and the people, and was full of evil, damn it!" How dare I not hunt down! I, Cao Cao, not only want to hunt him down, but also behead him personally to thank the world! ”

"Humph! Hugh has to say wildly, accept your life! "Lu Bu Pegasus killed Cao Cao.

Xiahoudun jumped on the horse with a spear and resisted Lu Bu: "Lu Bu, I, Xiahoudun, am here to fight you!" ”

The two fought for less than ten rounds, and on the left, Li Dao suddenly led the elite of Wan Xiliang to kill.

"Xiahou Yuan, you lead your troops to resist!" Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead some troops and horses to resist Li Dao.

At this time, on the right, Guo Yan also led tens of thousands of Xiliang elites to kill.

Cao Cao was shocked, he didn't know that he had encountered an ambush, and hurriedly said loudly: "Cao Ren, you lead your troops to block the right." ”

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren each led some troops and horses to resist the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Tens of thousands of troops fought fiercely.

Cao Cao's army was ambushed and attacked from three sides, and the soldiers were panicked and their morale was not high. The Xiliang army was conveniently the side of the ambush, killing Cao Cao's army and retreating, and with Lu Bu, the invincible god of war, the morale became more and more vigorous.

Xiahoudun was not Lu Bu's opponent, and he was defeated in only thirty or forty rounds, and he was in danger, so he had to fly and flee.

"Kill!" After Lu Bu killed and fled Xiahoudun, he led the elite of Xiliang under his command to rush back and forth in front of Cao Cao's army, as if entering a no-man's land, and instantly defeated the already demoralized and extremely chaotic Cao Cao army.

The defeat was like a mountain, and Cao Cao ordered a breakthrough in horror.

"Cao Cao, leave and stay alive!" How could Lu Bu allow Cao Cao to escape, chase and kill Cao Cao, and kill Cao Cao so that Cao Cao has no way to enter the sky and no door, and several times if it were not for the desperate rescue of the generals Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, etc., Cao Cao was assassinated by Lu Bu's halberd.
