Dong Zhuo ordered his generals Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead the army first, and drove the people of Luoyang to Chang'an together, with a number of millions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to prevent the people from escaping or resisting, Li Wei divided the people into more than 1,000 teams, each team of people was guarded by more than 100 cavalry, and the young and strong people were connected with ropes to prevent accidents.

Dong Zhuo's generals connived at the sergeants and women to take away food; The sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth. The slightest carelessness in the course of the walk was whipped by the sergeants, and those who moved slowly and resisted were killed by the three thousand iron horsemen who followed them at any time, and along the way, countless people died in the ravines.

Before Dong Zhuo left, he wanted to send troops to set fire to the houses of the residents and the palaces of the temples in the city, and thousands of houses and palaces were scorched. He also sent Lu Bu to lead the army to excavate the tombs of the emperor and his concubines and take their gold treasures, and those soldiers took the opportunity to dig up the tombs of officials and people to plunder treasures.

After looting Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered the whole army to load thousands of carts of gold, beads, satin, and goods, kidnap Emperor Xian, and go to Chang'an.

Emperor Xian saw the people dragging their families and displacement, and his heart was painful, Xu Yu'e persuaded: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo is powerful, don't let him see the abnormality, for the sake of today's plan, you can only be patient for the time being." If Dong Zhuo usurped the throne in anger, the gains outweighed the losses! ”

Emperor Xian nodded and said in a low voice: "I look forward to my brother-in-law leading the army west as soon as possible to get rid of Dong Thief." ”

Xu Yu'e said: "The emperor can rest assured, General Jiang will definitely come to protect the emperor and help Sheji." ”

After Dong Zhuo's whole line retreated westward, the city of Luoyang was full of fireworks, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, a mess, and the Songhe Tower was also burned down at this time, but fortunately, Zhen Yan learned the news in time and withdrew in advance, and the eyeline of the Luoyang intelligence station left with the officials and people who moved west.

Jiang Sheng originally wanted to send someone to rescue Emperor Xian and Cai Yong's family, but Emperor Xian and the court officials left under the escort of Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers, so they had no chance at all. Jiang Sheng knew that history was not so easy to change, so he had to give up.

At this time, he had confirmed that there were not many soldiers in Bishui Pass, so he went to persuade the princes to send troops one by one, Bao Xin, Cao Cao and other eleven princes decided to send troops, Yuan Shao saw that the people who sent troops accounted for the majority, so he ordered to storm Bishui Pass.

Zhao Cen ordered the archers to take turns shooting the besieging allies until they had shot all the arrows in the Bishui Pass.

More than ten attacks by the Allied forces were repulsed, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed and wounded under the crossbow arrows.

Jiang Sheng thought that Dong Zhuo had gone west, and this Zhao Cen would definitely go west, and now whether Bishui Pass can be captured is strategically meaningless, and there is no need to storm it, so he went to persuade the princes, and the princes asked Jiang Sheng rhetorically: "Attacking is also what you requested, and not attacking is also what you requested, are you the leader of the alliance, or is Yuan Shao the leader of the alliance?" ”

Jiang Sheng was speechless, so he had to rest in his own formation.

In the early morning of the second day, the princes led their troops to storm the Bishui Pass, but when they saw that the Bishui Pass was empty, they stepped on the ladder to the pass and opened the city gate, only to find that Zhao Cen's army had already withdrawn.

The Bishui Pass has been broken, and there is no danger to defend in the east, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads all want to go to Luoyang to make a windfall, and they have already led their troops to rush to Luoyang.

When they arrived in Luoyang, except for Jiang Sheng's preparations, the other princes were dumbfounded, Luoyang was originally an abandoned city, with no one within a radius of dozens of miles, only ruins that had not yet burned out.

Sun Jian hurriedly organized the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and the princes and armies all set up camps in the open space outside the city and no longer marched.

After the armies set up camp, Yuan Shao beat the drum and gathered the generals, except for Sun Jian who led the army to extinguish the fire, the rest of the princes had been accounted for.

Jiang Sheng said: "Now that the Dong thief has coerced the people to the west, the march is slow, the command is not effective, we can take advantage of the situation to pursue, why does the original brother not move?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "The soldiers are tired, and I am afraid that rash pursuit will do more harm than good." ”

Cao Cao persuaded: "Dong thieves burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea shook, it is the time when the sky is about to die Dong Zhuo, and our army can determine the world in a war." Why are you suspicious and not marching? ”

Everyone said that although Dong Zhuo moved west, he was protected by more than 100,000 Xiliang troops and did not dare to move lightly.

Cao Cao said angrily: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy! I led my army to the west and did my best for the imperial court. ”

Jiang Sheng chased him out and shouted, "Brother Meng De stay!" ”

Cao Cao saw that Jiang Sheng was also going to move his army westward, so he agreed with Jiang Sheng on a plan to send troops, each led his own army to pursue, and then rendezvous at Hangu Pass.

Cao Cao was anxious, so he led Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals to lead the army to chase Dong Zhuojun in the starry night, but after Jiang Sheng returned to the main formation, he ordered the whole army to rest all night and set off tomorrow.

Cao Jun took advantage of the moonlight to advance lightly, and in the early hours of the morning, he caught up with Lu Bu's army, who was in charge of the broken rear, and Lu Bu smiled: "Sure enough, it is not as expected by Li Ru!" So they lined up to meet Cao's army.

Cao Cao scolded: "Traitor! What do you want to do when you kidnap the emperor and exile the people? ”

Lu Bu shouted: "You coward, you betray the Lord, you dare to speak falsely! Today is your time of death! As he spoke, he waved his halberd to attack Cao Cao.

Xiahoudun jumped on his horse with a spear, blocked in front of Cao Cao, and fought with Na Lu Bu, at this time, Fan Chou and Guo Yan went straight to Cao's army from both wings to kill.

Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to wave their troops to fight, but the disparity in forces was too great, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan fought and retreated, and it was difficult to resist the enemy's offensive.

Lu Bu was brave and unparalleled, that Xiahoudun's combat power was still too weak after all, and he pulled his horse and fled after holding on for less than ten rounds, Lu Bu roared and waved his army to surround and kill.

Cao Cao's troops were weak, and he hurriedly led the army to retreat, and Lu Bu's army pursued and killed until dawn, and then turned west. Cao Jun threw away his armor and luckily escaped the pursuit of Lu Bu's army and retreated to a barren mountain.

Just about to take a breath, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses were killed in the mountains and forests, led by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, Cao Jun was frightened, in the face of Xu Rong's sudden attack, there was no fighting spirit, Xu Rongjun saw that Cao Cao had few soldiers, shouted excitedly, and covered up the kill.

Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Li Dian, Le Jin and others each led hundreds of people to resist by different routes, but in the face of Xu Rong's tens of thousands of elite cavalry, it was of no avail, and the soldiers soon died under the swords. Cao Cao was frightened and fled, Xu Rong opened his bow and took an arrow, and an arrow hit Cao Cao's thigh.

Cao Cao was in pain, fell off his horse, and hurriedly ran on foot, but was caught by the ambush soldiers lurking behind the mountain, at this time Cao Hong urged the horse to come, turned over and dismounted, waved the knife left and right to slash, cut the ambush that captured Cao Cao, and then helped Cao Cao to get on the horse.

Cao Cao said: "Today the sky will kill me, the virtuous brother should go quickly, don't worry about me!" ”

Cao Hong said: "Lord, get on the horse, I'll leave on foot." ”

"If you walk, the thieves will soon catch up, and I will ride away, what will you do?"

"There can be no Cao Hong in the world, but you can't live without you!" (To be continued.) )
