The battle between Lu Bu and Li Qiang lasted for two hours, until the war horses were tired, and the two stopped and returned to their respective camps.

Everyone feels that this is the pinnacle battle of the world; Li Qiang fought with them before, and they were training them, and only then did they discover the real gap between them and Li Qiang.

Hu Zhen, who was standing on the wall, was dissatisfied with Lu Bu at the beginning, feeling that he should not let Dian Wei go; When he saw the battle between Lu Bu and Li Qiang, he was stunned, and after he came to his senses, he shouted lucky, if he went up, he would give Li Qiang a share of the battle exploits.

The name of Lu Bu, with this battle, spread all over the world.

Hu Zhen and other officers no longer underestimate Lu Bu, and their attitude has become more respectful; and quickly reported the local situation to Dong Zhuo.

He arrived in Luoyang and met Gao Shun.

Gao Shun lived in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion at this time; Luoyang is in a depression, there are only soldiers, there are no people and merchants, and it is convenient to live in Zuixian Pavilion.

Fu Wannai is the emperor's son-in-law, and the current auxiliary general, but he has no military power; At present, he still has not seen through the future trend of the Han Dynasty, and he is very loyal to the imperial court, so he sent the concubine Fushou into the palace and was named a nobleman.

As long as the high-ranking officials have to sit, he doesn't care about Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the imperial court.

Fu Wan proposed to Gao Shun that he must not attack to the south, otherwise it will endanger the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, which is a great crime of disrespect.

Gao Shun knew that he couldn't be the master, just Dong Zhuo's microphone, and strongly proposed that he could not attack south, but Guangchengguan must be handed over to the emperor's son-in-law Feng Yong, and the imperial court appointed Feng Yong, the Taishou of Hanoi County, as the lieutenant of Sili.

Fu Wan felt that there was nothing wrong with serving as the lieutenant of Sili as Feng Yong, so he agreed to report Gao Shun's opinion to the imperial court; Later, he inspected Luoyang and felt that Gao Shun took good care of the palace and Luoyang, and there was no contrabone, so he returned to Xiangyang City with confidence.

Even if the emperor is not in Luoyang, Luoyang City is still the capital in the minds of the people of the world, and it is of great significance for Gao Shun to successfully occupy Luo.

Li Ru summarized the information of all parties and felt that Gao Shun had no intention of going south, so he persuaded Dong Zhuo to meet Gao Shun's requirements and withdraw Hu Zhen to Luyang City to station, and the two sides maintained peace, otherwise there would be a war, which would be extremely unfavorable to the imperial court, and move the imperial court south as soon as possible.

Dong Zhuo felt that Gao Shun had always been gaining inches, and now that the northern region had been occupied by Gao Shun, he was still unsatisfied, his appetite was too big, and he would never be satisfied; However, the situation is stronger than people, and he has no better way to do it, so he has to adopt Li Ru's suggestion.

Li Ru also knew that Gao Shun was greedy and cunning, Dong Zhuo and he were not Gao Shun's opponents, defeat was only an inevitable thing, and it would be a day to drag it out.

Later, he ordered the marquis to be ambushed and reached an agreement with Gao Shun; Both sides had a very tacit understanding, and neither mentioned the matter of continuing to pay taxes to the imperial court.

The imperial court moved Hanoi County Taishou Feng Yong as the lieutenant of Sili and stationed in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo ordered Hu Zhen to garrison Luyang City to defend against Gaoshun's forces.

Lu Bu led his army south, hoping to pacify Jingnan as soon as possible, which was exactly what he wanted; However, Wang Yun and the others were very disappointed, and their plans were about to change again.

With Feng Yong stationed in Luoyang, Gao Shun was very relieved, and before returning to Jizhou, Gao Shun ordered Wu Anguo to garrison Guangcheng Pass; The Koji people were stationed at the three passes of Yique, Otani, and Yuyuan.

Chu Yan was stationed in Mengjin and Xiaopingjin; Zang Ba was stationed at Hangu Pass; Zhang Liao and Yin Li were stationed in the West Garden.

The 10,000 cavalry of the headquarters led by Feng Yong and the senior cavalry and infantry released from the Gao Shun system, as well as the junior cavalry and infantry, were stationed in the northern military camp.

Xu Chu led the original 1,200 trap camp to garrison Luoyang, and his main duty was to guard the safety of the palace.

Dian Wei led the newly released 1,200 trap camp back to Jizhou; Li Qiang led his headquarters back to Jizhou.

Liu Miao led his family to follow Gao Shun's order and hurried to Luoyang.

Gao Shun assigned him a piece of junior infantry to guard and renovate the royal mausoleum; The second son and the youngest son assisted Liu Xuan, and the eldest son Liu Ji served as the captain of the city gate under Feng Yong, Gao Shun promised Liu Xuan, after the restoration of the cemetery, he was appointed as the doctor of Dongguan and was responsible for sorting out the Dongguan collection.

Liu Miao gladly accepted Gao Shun's arrangement, repairing the cemetery is to maintain the dignity of the Han Dynasty, Liu Miao as a royal family, has unshirkable responsibilities and obligations, sorting out the Dongguan collection of books is a noble task for him.

Gao Shun was not ready to move the people to fill the Sili area for the time being, and it was idle for the time being, and Hongnong County and Henan Yin became a huge racecourse, enough for the local garrison cavalry to gallop.

Gao Shun did not stay in the palace or stay in Luoyang, and won the support and goodwill of the people of the world.

At this time, Cao Cao was both excited and lost in his heart; Excited that Gao Shun occupied Luoyang intact and preserved the dignity of the Han Dynasty; Dong Zhuo was forced, a corner of peace, and the defeat was decided; Fortunately, he took refuge in Gaoshun's forces in advance, but what was lost was that he completely lost the opportunity to chase the Central Plains; What disappointed him even more was that Gao Shun stopped at Guangcheng Pass and did not let the army continue to move south, so that he could not guess Gao Shun's intentions.

He was not the only one who saw this, but the military advisor Chen Gong also realized it, so Chen Gong suggested: "My lord, the palace suggests that you should send protons to Yecheng, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with the high monarch and marquis." ”

Cao Cao asked, "Who is it appropriate for?" "Taking the initiative to send protons is a different concept from being forced by Yuan Shao to take his family as hostages, and now that the overall situation of the world has been decided, Cao Cao has no resistance.

"It has to be the firstborn."

Cao Cao thought to himself that in the current situation, even if Dong Zhuo knew that he was befriending Gao Shun's forces, he would not do anything to him, so he agreed with Chen Gong's opinion and sent his eldest son Cao Ang to Yecheng as a hostage.

Chen Gong also suggested: "My lord, in order to gain the attention of the prince and the marquis, the palace suggests sending people to Yecheng together, and there will be opportunities to make contributions." ”

"Who is the right one to send?"

Chen Gong said: "Yuan Rang and Zixiao are the most suitable. ”

The Xiahou family and the Cao family were originally one, and they must advance and retreat together, in order not to cause disagreement, it was most appropriate to send Cao Ren and Xiahou Xuan, both of them were in their prime, and Cao Cao believed that with their ability, they would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Gaoshun forces.

So Cao Cao agreed to Chen Gong's suggestion to do the work of his wife first, and then convened a meeting of family members to announce his decision.

Madame Ding reluctantly agreed to Cao Cao's decision and sent Cao Ang to Yecheng; Cao Ang was not dissatisfied with this, and even had a little excitement in his heart.

And other family members, such as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun and others, also wanted to go to Yecheng, but Yingchuan County also needed to be defended, so it was not good to go against Cao Cao's decision.

The people of this era have a particularly deep affection for the family, which is incomprehensible to later generations, and the starting point of all decisions must be for the interests of the family, and personal interests must be completely in line with the interests of the family, and the interests of the family must be the most important.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun's excitement is beyond words, they know that Yecheng masters are gathered, and hot-blooded men want to go to Yecheng to weigh their strength, whether they are mules or horses, and they will be able to get results quickly when they arrive in Yecheng, so that they can find their own positions.

Gao Shun was very happy with the arrival of the three and gave him a warm reception, and then ordered Cao Ren to go to Yongzhou as the Sima of the other department to assist Cheng Wu in the war against the aliens; Xiahoudun served as Sima of other departments and went to Xulin in Xuzhou to serve; Cao Ang was a military commander and served under Ma Gui in Yecheng.

However, only Cao Ren was the cavalry general, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ang were both in charge of the infantry.

Gao Shun equipped Cao Ren with a piece of high-ranking infantry; Cao Ren was very happy and very satisfied with the cavalry of this song, and then set off for Yongzhou.

Cao Cao received a letter from Cao Ang and was very satisfied with Gao Shun's arrangement.
