Chapter 514: Ye Chen Returns, Aiming for Treasure
After separating from Cao Cao, Ye Chen quickly went back to chasing Dong Zhuo.
"Second brother, what are we going to do this time?" When he arrived at the boat, Tai Shici asked Ye Chen.
"Looking for Xiliang's loopholes and focusing on attacking their key points can only force Dong Zhuo to compromise, and it won't do us any good if he doesn't compromise." Ye Chen looked at the turbulent river and said with a sigh.
Ye Chen knew very well that even if he annihilated all the Xiliang army, he would not be able to obtain an inch of land, and a soldier would not mean anything to Liaodong, so he could only let Dong Zhuo compromise and exchange conditions with him.
A fleet of boats, moving quickly in the Yellow River, soldiers taking turns to rest, day and night, very fast.
Two days later, Ye Chen had already caught up with the rear of Dong Zhuo's army.
Although Dong Zhuo was not disturbed by Ye Chen's attack in the past few days, he was injured before and rested for a day, and then Liu Xie was attacked by Ye Chen not long after, and although he saved his life in the end, he was seriously injured.
Liu Xie's injuries were extremely serious, the arrow passed through his chest, and he almost lost his life, in this case, he couldn't rush at all, once he was forced to hurry, then Liu Xie couldn't survive at all.
Let Liu Xie rest for two days and barely hurry, but he couldn't walk ten miles in a day, Liu Xie couldn't be bumpy, how to hurry, so Dong Zhuo's army had to stop.
"Damn, damn it, we must return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and go and call Li Ru quickly." Dong Zhuo became a one-eyed dragon, with a short temper, and he stayed in this wilderness all day long, and he was very unhappy for a long time.
"Taishi." After a while, Li Ru, who was waiting on the side, came to Dong Zhuo.
"Is there any way, I want the army to leave as soon as possible and return to Chang'an as soon as possible." Ten miles a day, Dong Zhuo is definitely going crazy, and Dong Zhuo also understands that millions of people are on the road for a day, and their consumption is amazing, even if he grabs more things in Luoyang City, he can't withstand consumption.
"Taishi, that Ye Chen insists on going against us, it is nothing more than greed, the merchant is like this, we can give him some benefits and let him evacuate, as long as Ye Chen leaves, we will not have any threat, and we will be able to return to Chang'an soon." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo touched his injured and blind right eye, and suddenly said angrily: "Don't think, unless I die, I will definitely not bow my head to Ye Chen." ”
Blind in his right eye, and almost died here, and was forced into a desperate situation by Ye Chen, Dong Zhuo's anger can be imagined.
"Taishi is angry, now he has been on the road for a few days, the consumption is huge, those people can reach Chang'an, it is better to throw it to Ye Chen, let him worry, then he will definitely have no time to pursue us, we can reach Chang'an with peace of mind." Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's anger did not subside, he glared at Li Ru, and the frightened Li Ru hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Haha, I, Dong Zhuo, have never been afraid of anyone in my life, when Emperor Han Ling was alive, I didn't listen to the tune or the announcement, what can he do with me, even if he sends more than 100,000 troops to guard against me, now Ye Chen, a yellow-mouthed child, wants me to compromise. Let me tell you, even if I, Dong Zhuo, kill all the people, I will definitely not leave it to Ye Chen. ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed wildly and said.
Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's words, and felt bitter in his heart, in this case, unless he really killed millions of people, he would march dozens of miles a day, when would he be able to reach Chang'an.
Originally, it was not easy for Ye Chen to leave, and they could take a breath, but Liu Xie was seriously injured, and they couldn't be fast.
Liu Xie's role is very large, with him, Dong Zhuo can unite the entire force, if Liu Xie dies, then Dong Zhuo's power still exists and is still strong, but it will also face a strong crisis.
"What do you say? The allies caught up, and Ye Chen responded to the allies to the east? "Li Ru just came out of Dong Zhuo's, Xu Rong sent someone to deliver the news, this news is bad news, or very bad news.
After receiving the scout's confirmation, Li Ru became irritable.
"Damn." Li Ru scolded and said, "Immediately order the whole army to be on alert to prevent Ye Chen's sneak attack." ”
Since this news was two days ago, Li Ru knew that the scout was blocked by millions of people along the road, and the speed could not be fast, but Ye Chen was not, he could travel day and night by water, and there was no one to stop him, and the speed would not be much slower than the scout.
The allies pursued them, Li Ru had already expected it, so he sent Xu Rong to break off, but in his judgment, as long as Xu Rong attacked the allies and inflicted heavy losses on them, then the allies would naturally retreat, and they would not be threatened.
But now it is different, with Ye Chen's response, the first attack did not completely annihilate them, and the allies would become their tails, threatening them at any time.
Li Ru is anxious, the current situation is too bad.
And Ye Chen, who he was most worried about, had now begun to act.
"Lord, the spies have found out about the grain transportation team of the Xiliang Army, are we going to attack?" Today, it was Xu Huang's turn to be on duty and report the situation to Ye Chen.
After listening to Ye Chenyi, he knew that food was the foundation of the army, and without food, everything would be suspended.
"No, you can't attack their grain and grass." After thinking about it, Ye Chen gave up the idea of attacking their grain and grass again.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Ye Chen said: "The grain and grass that attacked Xiliang can certainly put them in a desperate situation, but the first to be unlucky must be these millions of people, Dong Zhuo will not leave them a single grain, and these millions of people can only starve to death in the end." ”
When a few people heard this, they felt that Ye Chen's consideration was reasonable, and the lives of millions of people really couldn't be ignored.
"Second brother, this grain and grass is definitely the weakest link in the army, and the others are not enough to be fatal, attacking Dong Zhuo or other important members is unlikely now, and the Xiliang Army must be very strictly guarded." Zhao Yun said.
Several generals nodded yes.
"The treasure that attacked them, the treasure is also a big team, the target is obvious, and it is easy to attack." After thinking about it, there is only one treasure team that can attack, and the attack on the others will either not succeed or will not have much impact on Xiliang.
"My lord, last time we attacked their treasure team and obtained a lot of money, now they have strengthened their vigilance, and if they want to sneak attack again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I know it's difficult to attack them, but the entire team only has these treasures that are valuable, and attacking other valuable parts either can't succeed or can't do it." ”
The whole team is nothing more valuable than grain and grass, treasures and important figures in the Xiliang army.
Several people listened to Ye Chen's analysis, but they had no other objections and decided to attack the treasure again.
Soon, Ye Chen sent a scout team to find the team escorting treasures in the Xiliang Army.
