When Hao Meng and Cao Cao set off with 5,000 Cao's cavalry, it was already twilight, and Sun Jianbu, who had already set off, was two or three hours apart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Hao Meng also thought that with the speed of cavalry, if he hurried overnight, although he might not necessarily arrive near Luoyang at dawn, it should not be difficult to catch up with Sun Jianbu.

However, by the time Hao Meng and Cao Cao caught up with Sun Jianbu, it was already after dawn the next day, and the sun had begun to get up.

At this time, Sun Jian's Jiangdong soldiers and horses had already set up camp fifty or sixty miles away from Luoyang.

Overnight, the cavalry led by Hao Meng and them only galloped about one hundred and fifty miles intermittently; However, Sun Jian's Jiangdong soldiers and horses only took two or three more hours to complete the journey of one hundred and fifty miles.

You must know that Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army is mostly an infantry army, and they are all recruits who have just been replenished for a short time!

If it was when the army was defeated, and the infantry army fled for one or two hundred miles overnight, Hao Meng could understand it somewhat.

However, in the past and present wars, such a thing as running more than 100 miles in one night is generally not done by leading generals.

In order to prevent night attacks, and to preserve the physical strength and morale of the soldiers, when the army marches, it is generally set out around sunrise, and it is necessary to camp and rest before sunset.

Moreover, during the march, it is necessary to stop from time to time to rest and eat to ensure sufficient physical strength.

In this way, the speed of the infantry army's march was mostly between 50 and 80 miles per day.

Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army was able to run one hundred and fifty miles away in one night, plus half a day, which amazed both Hao Meng and Cao Cao.

After entering Sun Jian's camp, Cao Cao still sighed in his heart, he deserved to be cheated by Sun Jian!

There is a son who is about to become the first in the world, and now he has the ability to govern the army like this, when the princes of the other day are competing, do you Sun Jian want the other princes to play?

Of course, Cao Cao and Hao Meng caught up with Sun Jian's Jiangdong army, and they didn't want to discuss with Sun Jian how to let the infantry army march 150 miles overnight.

The reason why Cao Cao wanted to catch up with Sun Jian's pace was mainly because he was worried about the 5,000 Jiangdong cavalry.

Everyone knows that although most of Sun Jian's Jiangdong cavalry are foot soldiers on horseback, most of their war horses are captured Xiliang war horses!

Cao Cao and Hao Meng combined to grab food, their own 5,000 cavalry was too thin, plus Sun Jian's 5,000 Jiangdong cavalry, they were almost able to complete the plan.

……

"Brother Meng De is here, but he's here to support?"

After welcoming Cao Cao and Hao Meng into the camp, Sun Jian asked anxiously.

Since the middle of the night last night, the closer he got to Luoyang, the more Sun Jian felt that something was wrong.

It's not that Sun Jian feels that he has been pitted by Yuan Shao, but in the night sky, the red light that reflects the sky in the northwest direction makes Sun Jian feel that there may be something wrong in Luoyang City.

Only if there is a large fire near Luoyang, it is possible that half the sky will glow red.

Therefore, after dawn, Sun Jian set up camp fifty or sixty miles away from Luoyang. First, let the soldiers rest and rest, and secondly, wait and see what happened to Luoyang City.

When he first saw Cao Cao and Hao Meng, Sun Jian was still a little surprised, worried that after the allies transferred him Sun Jian, they would take the lead in Luoyang City.

Otherwise, the firelight and billowing smoke in Luoyang City must not have been burned by Dong Zhuo himself, right?!

If the allies want to kill from the Tiger Prison Pass to Luoyang City overnight, it is impossible for the infantry army to do it, but Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant is definitely not too easy.

"No, Yuan Shao and they are still drinking and having fun in the Tiger Prison, how can they send reinforcements?" Cao Cao took a breath and replied, and dug a pit for Yuan Shao as well.

Sun Jian's action, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's westward move, he would definitely hit his head on the iron plate. Even if he fails to hit the iron plate now, Sun Jian will not be able to gain anything.

Subduing an imperial capital that had been burned by Dong Zhuo was definitely not a great achievement.

In this way, Cao Cao's seemingly casual words now will make Sun Jian turn the spearhead to Yuan Shao and them in the future.

Oh, Lao Tzu is working hard in the front, but you guys are having fun in the back, causing Dong Zhuo to burn the imperial capital and run away, and also let Sun Jian get the great credit chicken flying eggs!

Seeing Sun Nut Ran's eyebrows raised, as if he was about to have a seizure, Cao Cao waved his hand, and did not talk to Sun Jian, and asked, "General Sun, does you know what happened in Luoyang City?" ”

Seeing the sky-high smoke and fire in the direction of Luoyang, Cao Cao naturally knew that Dong Zhuo really destroyed the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, as Hao Meng said!

However, now that the tiger's mouth plan is important, there is no time for Cao Cao to be sad.

"Our army has just arrived here to set up camp, and I don't know what happened in Luoyang City."

"Isn't it our allies who have entered Luoyang City?"

Sun Jian asked rhetorically.

"I knew that Luoyang City at this time was burned by Dong Zhuo. And Dong Zhuo's house, but coerced the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and fled to Chang'an! Cao Cao replied with great certainty.

Without waiting for Sun Jian to ask, how did he Cao Cao know so clearly, Cao Cao continued: "General Sun, now there is a great merit, placed in front of you and me, can the general dare to give it a try?" ”

"What credit?" Sun Nuran asked.

Since Dong Zhuo continued to travel west, the cooked duck that Sun Jian was about to get flew away, and he desperately needed another source of credit.

Besides, as the princes who participated in the Dong Alliance, who would think that the credit was too little?

"We can divide into two ways."

"Concentrate all the cavalry all the way and chase Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo rushed west, with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, he must not have gone far at this time, saving the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials is the credit of saving King Qin. ”

"Gather all the infantry troops all the way, drive into Luoyang City, save the dead and help the wounded, and save the losses of the palace and treasury by the way."

Cao Cao's suggestion at this time, no matter how Sun Jian chooses, on the surface, is in line with the actual situation. But Cao Cao will definitely let Sun Jian willingly hand over the cavalry and drive into Luoyang City with the infantry army.

Cao Cao continued: "At the beginning of the alliance that day, the princes of our Eighteen Roads agreed that whoever enters Luoyang City first will ask the Son of Heaven to make him the general of the imperial court!" ”

The position of a great general, coupled with the treasures of the imperial palace and treasury in Luoyang City, Cao Cao did not believe that Sun Jian would not be moved.

Although, after analyzing with Hao Meng, Cao Cao already knew that Luoyang City at this time was not only a ruin, but also that there were definitely not many materials left.

Even if there are so many things missing, how many will be left under the fire of the city?

In this way, after Sun Jian drove into Luoyang with the infantry army, he would not gain anything except to save the dead and help the wounded.

As for the position of the general of the imperial court, he also coaxed a muscular guy like Sun Jian. For heroes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the imperial court does not give the post of general, we just rely on our strength!
