Chapter 500: Catching Up
"Bonghyo, so many refugees, what should I do? It will take at least three days to place them. At this time, Ye Chen was a little helpless, the pit that Li Ru dug for him was not small.
Guo Jia frowned, he didn't come up with any way.
Several people fell into deep thought, if the refugees of about 100,000 people were to be resettled, then it would be too late, and Dong Zhuo would definitely have run away.
"Well, it's hard to do two things at the same time on our own." Zhao Yun on the side patted the side of the boat and said.
"Yes, but we can't do it with our strength, but now there are still several people in the Luoyang area," Ye Chen clapped his hands happily and shouted.
Seeing that Ye Chen was so excited, several generals must have thought of a good way, so they all looked at Ye Chen and waited for his next step.
"Now that Sun Jian is outside the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as he tells him that Dong Zhuo has escaped, he will definitely be able to quickly capture the Tiger Prison Pass, and when the time comes, please ask him to send some people to settle these homeless people. From Sun Jian getting the news to breaking through the Tiger Prison, I expect that it will take two days at most. Ye Chen glanced at a few people, paused and said: "And we only need to leave a few days' rations, and then throw all the food on the ship to them, which can not only reduce our weight and increase our speed, but these people should not be a problem to last for a day or two with these foods." ”
Ye Chen's ship did not have a lot of food, the fleet had two supply ships, and the soldiers would each bring two days' rations, but there were too many displaced people, there were about 100,000 people, and their food was only enough for them for more than a day.
However, two days is enough, Ye Chen is very confident that Sun Jian can break through the Tiger Prison Pass within two days, and then these people can be relieved, temporarily resettled, and when the war is over, Ye Chen will come back to bring them back to Liaodong.
"Lord, good idea, I think two days is enough." Guan Yu said with some excitement, he had long wanted to hunt down Dong Zhuo.
"Okay, Fengxiao, you go and arrange other things, leave five hundred soldiers for you, and the rest will follow me to hunt down Dong Zhuo. In addition, let the rear prepare immediately. ”
After Ye Chen gave the order, soon, Guo Jia moved to the logistics ship, and then the fleet began to set off.
Meng Jindu, at this time, rebuilt a military camp, but this time it was built very roughly, just a simple military camp.
"Report to the general, the Liaodong fleet has appeared." When Ye Chen approached Meng Jin, some soldiers hurriedly went to report to the generals guarding Meng Jindu.
The general guarding Mengjindu was not a famous general, but an ordinary general in the Xiliang army, who received the report of the soldiers, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately assembled 10,000 guards.
"My lord, Meng Jindu has 10,000 enemy troops, and it has been prepared at this time." The reconnaissance ship in front quickly fed back the information to Ye Chen.
"Ignore them and go straight through Mengjindu." Ye Chen's goal was Dong Zhuo, although he knew that it was almost impossible to catch up with Dong Zhuo, but the people behind him and the baggage march were very slow, and it was very easy to catch up.
The fleet drove the speed to the fastest, and after arriving at Mengjin, Dong Zhuojun's generals were very nervous, because it was here that Niu Fu was killed.
"Hey, General, how did they get there?" The vice general looked strange, Ye Chen and their fleet didn't even stop at Mengjindu for half a moment.
The general breathed a sigh of relief, because he didn't want to face the murderous Liaodong army, and now who didn't know the prestige of the Liaodong army.
"Catastrophe through the ages." Ye Chen saw that Luoyang was already on fire, and the billowing smoke had reached the sky, Dong Zhuo, a mad guy, really set fire to Luoyang.
"Second brother, I really can't wait to rush to the front immediately and cut Dong Zhuo." Tai Shi Ci watched the smoke rise, clenched his fists, and said viciously.
On the road to the west of Luoyang, there were teams stretching for dozens of miles at this time, and these teams carried simple bags on their backs and advanced with difficulty under the drive of soldiers.
There are slow ones, who are pushed by the soldiers, which is still good, and some soldiers are impatient and directly draw their knives and cut people.
Walking all the way, it was only a day out of Luoyang, and I don't know how many corpses were left on the side of the road.
What is a human tragedy, a million people march, and it is possible that someone will fall down due to physical exhaustion, or be slow at all times, and be cut down directly.
In particular, some old and young people were in poor health and could not march for a long time, and the soldiers of Xiliang, who had always had a bad temper, were now driven back to their hometown by the Kwantung princes, and they were angry in their hearts, so they sprinkled their anger on these people.
Some were unconvinced, some were slow, and some were not pleasing to the eye, so they directly pulled out their knives and cut them.
Tragedies are constantly happening, Dong Zhuo is just looking for fun in front of him, and in his luxury car, Dong Zhuo's crazy laughter and the sound of girls screaming are often heard.
However, although Dong Zhuo was domineering, no one dared to say anything, and not far behind him was Emperor Liu Xie, but his treatment was only a simple carriage, and there was not even anyone to serve.
Liu Xie, the emperor, is completely in name only.
It was getting dark, and neither the soldiers nor the people had the strength to go any further, so they rested on the side of the road.
"Lord, we've been catching up for a day, and it's estimated that we're about to catch up." On the boat, Ye Chen and the others didn't know where Dong Zhuo and the others had gone, because although Dong Zhuo and them were also walking in the direction of the Yellow River along the way, some places were far away from the Yellow River.
"We don't need to rest at all when we take a boat, we can travel day and night, and if we can't catch up today, we will definitely be able to catch up tomorrow." Ye Chen is not in a hurry, Luoyang is still far away from Chang'an, and according to the speed of the people and baggage, it will not be possible to arrive at all in half a month.
When night came, Ye Chen sent a small boat to quietly dock, allowing the soldiers to disperse to the front to reconnoitre, while the fleet continued to move along the river.
"Second brother, the spies have come to report, Dong Zhuo's team has been found ahead." In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun was on duty, received the news, and reported it to Ye Chen as soon as possible.
A million people march dozens of miles a day, and it is impossible to hide their whereabouts.
"Okay, let the scouts scout clearly, we'll go ashore in an hour and launch a surprise attack at ten o'clock in the morning." After having the news, Ye Chen was very happy, and immediately stood up and said loudly.
The order was quickly passed down, and the soldiers of the ships were also preparing.
In a relatively large open space, dozens of ships from Liaodong began to quietly dock.
Dong Zhuo doesn't care about things at all now, he only cares about pleasure.
And Li Ru always thought that his arrangement was foolproof, Ye Chen wanted to chase after him, and that would be a few days later, and after a few days, as long as he got rid of the allied forces, then even if Ye Chen chased after him, it would only cause them a lot of trouble, and it was just a big deal to send an army to deal with him.
As everyone knows, Ye Chen has quietly followed, and Meng Jindu's guards did not send anyone to send back the news, he thought that all this was in Li Ru's plan.
