Chapter 73: Pursuit and Rescue

Passing on the jade seal of the country, Li Ming didn't plan to keep it for anyone. The key is that this thing is still a hot potato, which can only be hidden, and cannot be taken out openly, otherwise others will let you return it to the court, and if you don't give it to it, you will be taken advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Besides, Dong Zhuo's current state has no way to stop Liu Ting's expansion. Once Liu Ting rescued Liu Xie, would he allow an emperor who was legally illegal to remain in power? Don't forget, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has more inheritance rights than Liu Xie in the order, Liu Wei has already hung up, so why shouldn't he be the emperor?

All this is the result of Li Ming, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and constantly repeating it. The final conclusion is that the jade seal of the country will continue to 'disappear'.

"Mengde is already one step ahead?" Early the next morning, when Li Ming was only beginning to gather his troops, he learned that Cao Cao had set out for the pursuit first.

"My lord is worried about His Majesty's safety, and I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up early this morning and asked my brothers to assemble early, and I have set off to pursue most of the hours ago!" The soldier in charge of staying behind to report immediately replied.

"It is said that His Majesty's troops should have left Luoyang earlier, even if Meng De pursues, there is no way to chase His Majesty back, why is he in such a hurry?" Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head, could it be that at this time, Cao Cao still had unrealistic illusions about the big man?

Then he turned around and asked, "How long will it take for our men to assemble?" ”

Xu Huang and Zhang Mo walked up and replied: "The people and horses can be assembled at any time, but now the Huotou Army is burying the pot and cooking, and there is still a quarter of an hour to eat......

Speaking of Li Ming's pot, it used to start less than about eleven o'clock, and everyone wouldn't eat. Eat a meal around eleven to twelve o'clock, and then eat a meal at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, that's how everyone eats these days. Since Li Ming's crossing, he has eaten one meal at six or seven o'clock in the morning, called 'breakfast', and twelve o'clock and five o'clock are the other two meals respectively.

Considering the high-intensity training of the soldiers, this arrangement is not wrong, or now that Cao Cao has been gone for more than half an hour, and he is still waiting for dinner, Li Ming only feels a little embarrassed.

"What's for breakfast?" Li Ming thought for a while and asked.

"Steamed buns and pickles!" Zhang Mo replied.

"Wait for a quarter of an hour, and then let the sons and daughters set off with steamed buns, two for each person, and the march can be slowed down a little, but at an even speed. Xu Huang led the cavalry to open the way in front, I want to know Cao Cao's situation! Li Ming thought for a while and commanded.

Seriously, he really didn't pay much attention to the pursuit. After all, Dong Zhuo has received a lot of benefits, and if the matter with Dong Cheng can be successful, then he will also become his father-in-law, so he only needs to follow up with Cao Cao, and if he can catch up, he will help play the side drum, and if he can't catch up, he will come back.

A quarter of an hour later, a large number of steamed buns began to come down from the steaming drawer, and the soldiers had two of them, and they didn't care about taking the pickles, so they began to assemble and march directly under the commander's drinking order.

Steamed buns are popular, at least the coalition forces, especially Han Fu and Yuan Shao, have planned to promote wheat cultivation in Hebei, and wheat may gradually replace corn in the future. After all, steamed buns can make the most grain with the least amount of flour, and if you really have to count it, I don't know how much food you can save.

Fish floss is also a good thing, with a little oil and water, and can also be eaten as a pickle. It's rare and convenient to preserve, but the production method is kept secret by Li Ming, and if the princes want to make some as dry food, they can only buy it from the Huiji Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they can only do it themselves.

The large army advanced for an hour, but after a while, there were scouts sent out by Xu Huang, who hurriedly came back and reported: "Report to the lord, Cao Cao was ambushed by Xu Rong twenty miles away, and five thousand soldiers were trapped. Lu Bu was also in ambush, and had already killed Wei Hong through a surprise attack before, if it weren't for Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan confronting at the same time, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have been killed. ”

"How is Cao Cao's current situation?" Li Ming immediately asked with concern when he heard this.

"Cao Cao's mount was killed, but our men arrived in time to save him. Now he's heading this way. Xu Duwei wanted to know, are we going to deal with Xu Rongbu? The scout hurried in.

"Help Cao Cao's troops retreat, as long as Xu Rong's troops don't take the initiative to attack us, then don't fight with them!" Li Ming thought about it and hurriedly gave an order.

The scout received the order and immediately sent his horse back to report the news, as for the soldiers behind Li Ming, the generals had already ordered to start guarding.

Didn't Cao Cao go back to Chen Liu directly after the alliance to be the assassin of Yanzhou? Li Ming couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart, not to mention anything else, he vaguely remembered that Cao Cao should have occupied Chenliu County, after all, at the beginning of the game, his power was in Chenliu.

I don't know that history is sometimes trouble, and Li Ming only knows now that Cao Cao suffered this blow, and his troops were naturally greatly reduced. Five thousand soldiers, I don't know how many are left, Cao Cao can be regarded as directly from a prince to a lonely person.

Or, recruit Cao Cao? Such a thought flashed in Li Ming's brain, and then he shook his head and threw out this unrealistic idea. Cao Cao remained loyal to the Great Han, which meant that he would never share his mind, especially if he knew who he really was.

Besides, he is a hero-like character himself, so naturally he will not send people under the fence. As the founder of the dignified Cao Wei and the real grandfather, Li Ming didn't think that even if he suffered such a catastrophe, he would collapse.

After most of the hour, the army came to an open field, where it was rare to have a wide view, but not far from the side was Luoshui, the water was so turbulent that as long as you were not a fool, you would not think of crossing the river directly; On the other side, there are mountains and forests, which are very confusing.

At this moment, on this open land, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were fighting with Lu Bu. The three of them worked together, but they could barely withstand Lu Bu's attack.

In fact, what really made them most dissatisfied was that Lu Bu would occasionally use the Tiangang Thirty-six Road Axe Method, sometimes he would use the Black Python Marksmanship, the Green Dragon Slash or the Force Splitting Huashan, and even the Sword Wind or other marksmanship would be used, but he would not use their martial arts for a long time.

After seeing Lu Bu's learning ability, they naturally understood that the other party didn't look down on their martial arts at all.

Since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, the three of them only feel that they are underestimated by Lu Bu at the moment, and they attack more violently, but Lu Bu is at ease, and from time to time with the help of Chisu's speed advantage, he keeps wandering among the three, and the halberd suddenly kills, forcing someone to have to go back to defense, and the other two have to go to the rescue.

"Hahaha, that's what the three of you can do!" Lu Bu was really easy to be proud, seeing the three of them like this, he laughed out loud and teased mercilessly.

"Lu Bu, how about counting me in?" Li Ming suddenly struck out and killed Lu Bu directly.

"Lord, we're here to help you!" Zhang Mo, Dian Jie and Xu Chu also followed for the first time.
