Chapter 7, hunt down Dong Zhuo
After only a few glasses of wine, Zhao Yun returned to his team, and the night was getting deeper, looking at the towering Tiger Prison Pass, Zhao Yun was secretly anxious in his heart.
Not surprisingly, Dong Zhuo would secretly retreat to Luoyang tonight, and he should have reported to Gongsun Zan and others in time, but when he looked back, the entire allied camp was drinking and laughing, shouting five and six one by one, and he was so drunk that he couldn't count on it at all.
What's more, based on Zhao Yun's words, it is difficult for people to believe that Dong Zhuo will retire tonight.
"General Zilong, what are you thinking?"
Wu Anguo walked over, and saw that Zhao Yun had left the table early, and Wu Anguo also left the banquet.
"Wu Anguo, you see that tonight on the side of our allies, there is a lot of jubilation, so lively, but if you look at the Tiger Prison Pass again, there is no sound at all, I always feel a little strange."
"Strange?? Zilong, you think too much, Lu Bu has just lost the battle, Dong Zhuo is menacing, but he has suffered a defeat, how can he be happy, I think they must be afraid of us, this will pick up their tails and shrink their necks, it is normal, I am afraid that they will never dare to go out of the city to fight again! ”
Zhao Yun shook his head, "Dong Zhuo has always been cunning and cunning, I'm afraid that things are not so simple, maybe, they will take the initiative to withdraw their troops." ”
"Voluntarily withdrawing troops? How is this possible! ”
Wu Anguo was stunned for a moment, and then his head shook like a rattle, "Zilong, why do you say this, you must know that the Tiger Prison Pass is a big barrier to defend the divine capital Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo is too late to defend it desperately, how can he lead the troops to retreat?" In that case, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up the Tiger Prison Pass and Luoyang to us? ”
Zhao Yun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, some things were difficult to explain clearly.
said that Dong Zhuo gave up the Tiger Prison, no one believed it, and said that Dong Zhuo would burn Luoyang, and the designation was even more appalling.
Zhao Yun simply changed the topic, but he was worried in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops to attack the Tiger Pass.
Suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind, Zhao Yun hurriedly turned around and went to Gongsun Zhan's camp, after seeing Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan's face was already drunk and red, shaking his head, and his mouth kept squirting choking wine.
Zhao Yun came to the front of Gongsun Zan in a few steps, saluted first, and then said, "Lord, our side has won the battle and won the battle, and we have not sent anyone to inform General Sun Jian that the last general is willing to ask for an order to go to Bishui Pass, so that the soldiers and soldiers over there will be uplifted and morale boosted." ”
"Oh? It makes sense, it's just that the night is dark, and I'm afraid that the road is not easy to walk, so you have to be more careful! ”
Zhao Yun nodded, turned around and walked out of the tent, and after a short time, Zhao Yun left the Tiger Prison Pass with his battalion of cavalry.
On the way, Zhao Yun ordered people to light torches, speed up the road, and wait until they arrived at Bishui Pass, the sky was already bright, after seeing Sun Jian, Zhao Yun said the situation, Sun Jian nodded, and didn't think much about it, after breakfast, Sun Jian continued to lead the troops to attack the city, only to find that the garrison in the city was very empty, it turned out that the sky was not yet dawn, Li Dao Guo Yan led the troops to withdraw.
Sun Jian was overjoyed, and successfully led his troops to capture Bishui Pass, and then drove all the way to Luoyang.
Zhao Yun sent someone to tell Gongsun Zhan, and he led his troops to Luoyang with Sun Jian.
There is still more than half of the distance from Luoyang, and everyone saw the raging fire rising in the sky, Sun Jian was taken aback, "It's not good, it's the direction where Luoyang City is located." ”
Sun Jian was anxious, and hurriedly urged the soldiers to rush to Luoyang, and the marching speed was doubled at once.
When everyone came to Luoyang City, the scene in front of them made everyone stunned and couldn't say anything.
The flames rolled and rose to the sky, like countless fire dragons hovering and roaring in the sky, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of fire, rubble everywhere, collapsed houses everywhere, black smoke billowed out, heat waves were rising, scorching waves of air were rolling around, and the whole earth was hot and hot.
Sun Jian hurriedly ordered to hurry up and enter the city to put out the fire, but it was not easy to extinguish such a big fire.
The people rushed into the city and put out the fire everywhere, but the effect was very limited, not so much that the fire was finally extinguished by them, but that the fire burned for a day and a night, and there was nothing left to burn, and the fire naturally weakened.
Zhao Yun and the others smoked the smoke and fire, just like crawling out of the coal pile, because they knew in advance that there was a jade seal in an abandoned dry well in the palace, Zhao Yun paid great attention to it, and brought people into the imperial city early in the morning, and the hard work paid off, and finally found the dead body of a palace maid from a dry well, and turned out a yellow and shining golden box from her.
After opening it and taking a quick look, Zhao Yun hurriedly put it into his arms, surrounded by his heart, before he intended to separate from Sun Jian's team, naturally he didn't have to worry about leaking secrets.
Not long after, other princes also arrived with people, much earlier than in the original book, because as soon as Sun Jian took Bishui Pass, Zhao Yun sent someone to inform Yuan Shao and others.
Although the city was burned to ruins, the Kwantung princes still led people to rush into the city, searching for gold and silver treasures in the name of fighting fires.
After the fire was completely extinguished, they were still looking for treasures in the ruins, as long as they found valuable treasures, they immediately robbed them wildly, from the princes to the soldiers.
Cao Cao was very disappointed by this, and hurriedly proposed, "Since the fire has been extinguished, there is no need to continue to delay here, and we must quickly catch up with Dong Zhuo." ”
After Yuan Shao heard this, he smiled and said, "Meng De, the men and horses have been fighting hard for several days, and the soldiers have worked very hard, I want to rest here for a few days, and then discuss when I have enough spirits." ”
The other princes also chimed in, "The alliance leader is reasonable, and it should be so!" ”
First, everyone wants to preserve their strength, and secondly, they are all afraid of Dong Zhuo, no one dares to chase Dong Zhuo rashly, lest they fall into an ambush and have no return, and third, they still want to continue to hunt for treasures in the city, such a big Luoyang City, even if it is burned out, there are still too many valuable treasures to count.
Cao Cao's angry nose was smoking, "A group of shafts, it's hard to make a plan!" ”
Cao Cao flicked his sleeves, so he had to hurriedly chase after him with his own soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zan looked for a long time, but he didn't see Zhao Yun, so he hurriedly asked Sun Jian to ask.
Sun Jian replied, "I don't know, he was with me before to lead people to fight fires in the city." ”
In fact, Zhao Yun also went to chase Dong Zhuo, and before Gongsun Zhan arrived in Luoyang, he led people to chase him.
Otherwise, Gongsun Zhan would definitely not agree to lead his troops to chase Dong Zhuo, so Zhao Yun simply came to cut first and then play.
Urging the horse all the way to the Rongyang realm, Zhao Yun deliberately bypassed the Bianshui River, he knew that there was Xu Rong's ambush here.
Whether it is Xu Rong or Lu Bu, it is not the goal of Zhao Yun's trip.
His team only had two thousand people, not only had a small target, but also had very flexible mobility, easily bypassing Xu Rong and continuing to chase forward, Zhao Yun was very cautious, and sent scouts to explore the way from time to time.
