That night, the scouts sent to Luoyang returned, bringing the news that Dong Zhuo had divided his troops to guard the royal garden and mausoleum.

Xu Chu and Cao Cao conspired in military affairs, and the tent Chinese and martial arts gathered.

Xin Bi said angrily: "Dong thief has acted perversely, and it has come to this!" ”

Cao Chun, who was beside Cao Cao, asked for battle and said: "Dong Thief's behavior is outrageous, pure please fight as a vanguard, and I am willing to lead a light horse to attack Luoyang tomorrow!" ”

Cao Cao thought about it and agreed to Cao Chunzhi's request.

Xi Zhong stopped him loudly: "Don't do this! ”

Everyone looked at Xi Zhong, and they all had questions on their faces.

Xi Zhong talked eloquently, "Dong thieves are guarding the mausoleum, which is obviously chaotic, and from the intelligence from the front, it can be seen that the number of soldiers guarding is not large, and it should be just to cover the retreat of the army." The morale of the Dong army has been declining since the Luoyang fire, and today, our army is on the side with a big victory, and the morale of the Dong army is so low that it can't be low. According to the following opinion, immediately order troops to gallop to Luoyang! ”

Xi Zhicai's words are very reasonable, and at this time, a quick attack can also have a surprise effect. And not only that, but after what he said, he reminded Xu Chu and Cao Cao of one thing - Sun Jian is in Yique Pass, and he may lead troops into Luo at any time. If they fall behind Sun Jian, their previous efforts will be in vain.

Cao Cao suddenly said: "Fortunately, there was a reminder from the drama king, and I almost missed a big event!" ”

Xu Chu trusted Xi Zhong very much, so he suggested: "If so, when the herald orders the three armies to eat quickly, wait for dinner, take a short rest, and immediately set off to the north, be sure to rush to the outside of Luoyang City before dawn." ”

Dagu Pass is only more than 50 miles away from Luoyang, Xu Chu and Cao Cao have a large number of men and horses, and it is a night trip, so it is obviously unrealistic for the whole army to arrive before dawn. So the two main generals summed up for a while, each leaving most of the men and horses behind to slow down, and they personally led the elite and rushed to Luoyang in the starry night.

As soon as the military ordered, Fei Liang, who managed logistics, and other Chinese officials of Xu Caojun immediately slaughtered chickens and sheep, and prepared a 'sumptuous' dinner for the soldiers. Although it is said to kill chickens and slaughter sheep, but when the expedition is outside, such a large number of tens of thousands of people, it is obviously unrealistic to ask everyone to eat meat, although the meat cannot be eaten, but the broth can no one get a bowl, and the vegetables and cakes are enough.

For ordinary soldiers, being able to drink broth is a precious thing, and many people can't remember the last time they tasted meat.

After the three armies finished their meals and rested for an hour, the army officially began.

Cao Cao's department, Cao Cao personally took the three generals Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, and Shi Lian to lead 3,000 elites first, among which Cao Chun was ordered to lead 500 horsemen to open the way and find out the way ahead.

Xu Chu also went into battle in person, with Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Le Jin and many other tiger generals following Cao Cao.

When it was almost dawn, Cao Chun was the first to arrive at the south gate of Luoyang, and sent scouts to reply: There was no Dong army at the south gate.

At this time, Liu Bei took Jian Yong to ask to see Xu Chu.

Knowing that Liu Bei asked to see him, Xu Chu knew that he must have come to ask for battle. Liu Bei's troops were recruited by himself in Liang County, and the source of soldiers was not good, coupled with the lack of training, although Liu Bei himself was outstanding, and he was 'very caring' for these soldiers, so that they were willing to charge for him, but because of various factors, Xu Chu did not let him have too many opportunities to show his face. finally waited to arrive at the mission of Otani to help Cao Cao, but was defeated by Lu Bu.

Liu Bei is so cunning, he thinks that the battle of Luoyang is likely to be the last battle against Dong this time, no matter what, he wants to behave, so he came to Xu Chu to ask for a vanguard.

Xu Chu was a little difficult to decide.

There are countless allusions about Uncle Liu Huang, one of which is how Cao Cao dealt with Liu Bei who took refuge in him at that time in history, and Xu Chu remembers it very clearly. Some of the strategists said that Cao Cao should kill Liu Bei, and some said that Cao Cao should not be killed, but he was put under house arrest, but in the end Cao Cao did not accept it. Probably because Cao Cao believed that he could 'influence' Liu Bei with his charm, he not only put his heart to Liu Bei, but also gave Liu Bei the opportunity to lead the troops. Liu Bei led his troops and immediately betrayed Cao Cao and occupied Xuzhou.

Just imagine, with Cao Cao's personality charm, Liu Bei can't give in, how can he Xu Chu let Liu Bei assist with all his heart?

But the key is that Liu Bei is a 'scourge', but he came from afar to vote, and Corporal Xu Chu Lixian accepted him, and if he accepted him, he didn't need it, isn't it no different from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others? He may also be criticized for being small-minded.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

Xu Chu smiled slightly, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande is eager to fight, I know, but your soldiers are not elite enough, and the number is not large, it is better to do this, I will temporarily transfer you to Dian Wei to listen to it, how about it?" ”

Dian Wei's tribe is elite, and his people are loyal to Xu Chu, and they will be the vanguard of this battle, Liu Bei knows it well. Therefore, Liu Bei had nothing to refuse, and was ordered to retire.

After retreating, Jian Yong saw that there was no one around, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, Xu Hou seems to be unwilling to let you make meritorious contributions." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Liu Bei hurriedly looked around, saw that no one was on his side, his heart was a little wider, and he said to Jian Yong: "Xu Hou rebelled for the country, a loyal and brave man, how could he be a mere Liu Bei?" ”

This is Liu Bei's authorities.

According to what he thought, there was nothing wrong with him, he Liu Bei was not famous in the world, Gongsun Zhan was his classmate, which gave him the opportunity to lead the army, and in Hanoi, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, didn't even have time to see him, let alone reuse it. Now that he is under Xu Chu's account, he is also leading a team, with his status and fame, Xu Chu will be afraid of him? Impossible!

Jian Yong could see that Xu Chu was a little wary, and it was because of the bystanders. He is a person who is good at observing words and feelings, from the first time he saw Xu Chu, he felt that Xu Chu's eyes on Liu Bei were a little wrong, and then Xu Chu's arrangement of Liu Bei was faintly suspected of avoiding the important and trivial, so he speculated that Xu Chu was obstructing Liu Bei to make meritorious contributions.

It is not very accurate to say that it is an obstruction, they are originally a 'guest army', and they are going to act based on Xu Chu's face, so since Liu Bei doesn't think that Xu Chu has these careful thoughts, Jian Yong doesn't bother to mention it again.

A ray of sunshine in the early morning sprinkled from the sky, and Xu Chu finally arrived outside Luoyang City after Cao Cao.

Compared with the glory he saw when he came to Luoyang, the fall of Luoyang at this time made people feel compassionate. is a good end to a god capital, because Dong Zhuo's atrocities have become a ruin, and anyone who sees it will sigh.

At this time, Cao Cao sent scouts to deliver a message: Before the sky was bright, the general of Xiaoguo should lead his troops to attack Dong's army.

Xu Chu had no objection, and ordered Lejin and Dian Wei to combine with Cao Cao's subordinates with three thousand elite infantry soldiers and attack Dong Zhuo's stronghold.

Just when Xu Chu finished scheduling, there was a drum sound in the distance ahead, and Xu Chu scolded with a smile: "What a Cao Mengde, he actually rushed to make meritorious service." ”

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Shi Jian and other troops have already started a war with Dong Jun.

Xu Chu found Cao Cao and climbed with him to watch the battle.

In the morning light, it can be seen from afar that the forest where the Dong army is stationed is luxuriant, the stream is like a belt, and the hills are undulating, and between the mountains and rivers, there are cold and cold flashes from time to time, but it is the Dong army that only wants to hinder the march of Xu Chu and Cao Cao in this battle, so the crossbow is strong and the spear is sharp, and he wants to hold on for a long time.

Flying dust, breathtaking war drums, and looming flags juxtaposed in this picturesque landscape, Xu Chu and Cao Cao watched the battle while ordering the troops to be ready to respond at any time.
