Chapter 157: Falling apart
Cao Cao and Mu Yi separated and rushed all the way east to Luoyang.
Looking at the blue sky, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, and suddenly got bigger: "Hahaha......"
Cao Hong, who was beside him, asked puzzledly, "Why is the lord laughing?" Now that our corporal has suffered heavy casualties, is the lord not discouraged at all? ”
Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "Hahaha...... Water has no normality, soldiers are impermanent, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how could a certain Cao Cao collapse because of a failure? Hehehe, although this time it was defeated, it was also an opportunity. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by this? Xiahoudun asked with a puzzled expression.
"Dong Zhuo moved west, looted the population and wealth of Luoyang City, and at the same time excavated the imperial tomb and killed innocents indiscriminately, which was already a matter of anger and resentment, and there was no need to worry about Dong Zhuo's disadvantage in the future. At this time, the princes of the eighteen towns are also having their own ghosts, and after this incident, the chaos in the world has appeared, so the next is our opportunity, quickly summon urgent people, and immediately recruit troops and horses after returning in order to make a comeback! ”
……
Luoyang, the eighteen towns of the princes of the company camp.
At this time, the alliance of princes had already been fighting among themselves, and they were all guarding the ruined Luoyang City one by one.
Liu Dai was short of food in the army, and found Qiao Mao in desperation.
After seeing Qiao Mao, Liu Dai did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point to borrow grain.
"There is enough grain and grass in Mrs. Qiao's army, and a certain soldier has run out of cooking today, so I have come to borrow 10,000 stones of grain and grass from Mrs. Qiao!"
In fact, Liu Dai's borrowing of grain is fake, and his plot against Qiao Mao is real, and coming here today is just an excuse he made!
Qiao Mao didn't know what Liu Dai's idea was, so he immediately refused: "Liu Taishou said that he was joking, and now he still wants to find someone to borrow grain and grass?" How can there be grain and grass lent to you? ”
Liu Dai said with a cold smile on his face: "Qiao Taishou, we are a coalition army, you obviously have food in the army but don't lend it to so-and-so, aren't you afraid of causing a mutiny in the army?" ”
"Liu Dai! Do you lack food and have a relationship with something? Even if you want grain and grass, you should go to the grain and grass official Yuan Highway, don't say that there is no so, even if you have it, you will not be given it! "Qiao Mao is also a little angry, you are not a soldier under Lao Tzu, why did you give you food and grass? Yuan Shu has a lot of cool grass in his hands, why don't you go to him and ask for it?
Who knew that Qiao Mao's words had just come out, and Liu Dai, who was standing opposite him, pulled out the saber at his waist without saying a word, and stabbed it into Qiao Mao's chest.
Qiao Mao never thought that Liu Dai would kill him, and was suddenly stabbed by Liu Dai with a sword, and he died without even screaming.
After killing Qiao Mao, Liu Dai immediately sent a signal, and the soldiers who had already prepared rushed directly into Qiao Mao's barracks.
There is no difference between a soldier without a main general and a group of stragglers, and Liu Dai took down all Qiao Mao's soldiers without much effort.
After incorporating Qiao Mao's soldiers, Liu Dai had no intention of staying in Luoyang, and returned to Yunzhou directly with his soldiers and horses.
After the incident of Qiao Mao's killing, the princes of the eighteen towns also collapsed, and the princes of all walks of life went their separate ways in just two days.
Even if they don't disband, there is no way, now the alliance has long ceased to exist, if they stay here and can't be swallowed up by others, it is better to hurry back to their own nest and recruit more soldiers and horses while others have not yet developed.
……
Two days later, Mu Yi's army finally caught up with Dong Zhuo's broken team. There were several clashes between the scouts on both sides, each with casualties.
Zhang Ji led his men and horses to drive nearly a million people forward, and since these people were all on foot, and there were some old and weak women and children, the speed of the march was quite slow.
Zhang Ji followed Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, and because Dong Zhuo was inclined to the government and the opposition, Zhang Ji also took his family over.
Originally, he thought he was happy, but who knew that Dong Zhuo would move the capital in such a hurry. In desperation, he could only go to Chang'an with his family and mouth.
In fact, when he left Luoyang, Zhang Ji was worried all the way, for fear that the princes of the Eighteen Towns would chase after him.
But since Xingyang, Zhang Ji has let go of his hanging heart. Xingyang Taishou Xu Rong is Dong Zhuo's hand, and he will definitely be able to stop the pursuers.
However, without waiting for him to relax, two days after leaving Xingyang, waiting for a hurried report, Mu Yi led the army to chase after him, and the distance between the two sides was less than twenty miles.
Hearing this news, Zhang Ji was scared a lot. Mu Yi's fierce generals are enough to fight against Lu Bu, and the soldiers are even more elite, so how can this be good if they are chasing after them at this time?
"How many people are coming? Who is the leader of the troops? How did they get through Xingyang? ”
Zhang Ji asked several questions in a row.
"General Huiyu, Xu Rong, the Taishou of Xingyang, surrendered to Muyi with the soldiers of the whole city, and there were more than 50,000 chasing soldiers in total, the leader was Zhao Yun, and the vanguard was 5,000 well-equipped cavalry."
"Zhao Yun?" Zhang Ji's brows furrowed tightly.
Now Zhang Jishu is responsible for escorting the people, if he fights with Mu Yi, it will not be good if these people turn against each other!
At that moment, Zhang Ji did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Order the three armies, line up to meet the enemy!" ”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he stepped forward to stop him: "Uncle can't!" We are responsible for escorting the people, if there is a fight, so many people may cause huge trouble, my uncle will lead the people first, and the child is responsible for blocking the army of Mu Yi......"
Before the words fell, Zhang Ji shook his head and raised his hand to interrupt: "No!" Now there is a huge difference between us and Mu Yi, if we divide the troops, we will be broken one by one, not to mention how many miles can we go out in a day with so many people? ”
"How's that to be?"
"Huh...... It doesn't matter, there are so many people here, forgive him Mu Yi and don't dare to charge directly, we just need to be like this and this......"
Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded vigorously: "Uncle is smart, if Mu Yi dares to charge, then his reputation will be stinky!" Son, let's go down and make arrangements! ”
……
At this time, Mu Yi was sitting in a carriage and walking slowly, when he saw a ride coming from the dust!
When the person arrived in front of Mu Yi's carriage, he turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Qiqi, General Zhao has caught up with Zhang Ji, and he is confronting Zhang Ji at this time!" ”
"Confrontation? Let's talk about it in detail, how far is the distance between the two sides now, and what is the situation in front of the general's formation? ”
"Back to the lord's words, at this time the distance between the two sides is less than fifteen miles, originally General Zhao was going to catch up with Zhang Ji and launch an attack, who knew that Zhang Ji actually let the people form a human wall, the cavalry could not attack, the archers could not shoot, so the two sides were in a state of confrontation!"
After hearing this, Mu Yi's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he said coldly: "Despicable...... The three armies were ordered to speed up the march, Huang Zhongtai Shi Ci led the cavalry first, and Gao Shun, Zhou Zhong, and Xu Rong led the infantry forward! ”
"......"
Everyone agreed, and the sound of horses' hooves "rumbled", and the cavalry of the brigade galloped forward, and for a time the official road was dusty, and the earth trembled violently under the trampling of horses' hooves.
