Ma Chao stabbed Dong Huang to death with one shot, and more than a dozen pro-soldiers beside him were suddenly anxious, you must know that Dong Zhuo's eldest brother died early, this Dong Huang has always been raised by Dong Zhuo, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew is no different from that of father and son.

"Damn it, you killed us!"
The leader of the pro-soldiers shouted loudly, and rushed directly towards Ma Chao with a knife.
Ma Chao sneered disdainfully: "I don't think I can do anything, a group of people who only know how to bully the good, let me Ma Meng get up today and send you back to the West!" β
The tiger-headed spear in his hand flew, like a dragon going out to sea, and it didn't take long to solve all the dozen or so ruffians.
After solving these lewd thieves and ruffians, Ma Chao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saw that Li Qingzhao was still in a coma at the moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Girl, girl, wake up, these lewd thieves have been solved by me!" β
Li Qingzhao was awakened by Ma Chao's shout, opened his eyes worriedly, touched his hands down, suddenly realized his embarrassment, and couldn't help screaming.
Ma Chao found out that Li Qingzhao was now wearing only half a skirt and a belly pocket because of Dong Huang's tearing just now, and he was busy untying his cloak and wrapping it around Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao hurriedly tied his cloak and covered his whole body, before he calmed down and said to Ma Chao timidly: "May I ask the general's name?" β
Ma Chao hurriedly replied: "A certain family is the hussar general, the general Ma Chao Ma Mengqi under the command of the Jizhou Mu Gao Changgao, I was ordered to pursue the Dong thief, just now I saw that the bushes were overwhelmed by a large area, there should be a carriage once drove by, I was curious, I thought that there was a minister who hid here in a panic, so I came to check." β
Li Qingzhao suddenly said happily: "This is great, in fact, Li Lingyue, the wife of the tall general, is still my distant cousin, but because my father has passed away, it is inconvenient for me to go out as a woman, so I rarely have contact on weekdays." β
Ma Chao immediately rejoiced: "Since you are a distant relative of the lord, then I will take you to see the lord!" β
Li Qingzhao thought for a long time but shook his head and said: "General Meng Qi, forgive me, the little girl's fiancΓ© Zhao Mingcheng is still ahead, let's let the little woman go to him!" β
Ma Chao waved his hand again and again and said: "Miss Li is slow, if it weren't for my Ma Chao's intention to stop it, my lord is leading tens of thousands of cavalry to chase the Xiliang army at the moment, I'm afraid that he is already fighting at this moment, you are a weak woman who is unarmed, and there is a lot of inconvenience in the chaos of soldiers and horses, it is better to follow me to see the lord and return to Jizhou to reunite with Mrs. Lingyue, and wait until the situation is stable, and then let the lord send you to find your fiancΓ©!" β
Li Qingzhao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

At the same time as Ma Chao's hero saved the United States, the cavalry of the Jizhou Army led by Gao Chang pursued and killed all the way after defeating Li Yu's rear army, and finally caught up with Dong Zhuo's main force of the Xiliang Army.
How could the Xiliang Army, which had not formed a military formation at all and was in disarray, be able to withstand the high morale of the Jizhou Army. The impact of 20,000 war horsemen like a landslide and tsunami swept away the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in the Chinese army.
Dong Zhuo sat in the emperor's luan car and scolded angrily: "Bastard Li Yu, the old man should really cut you with a thousand knives." β
However, the matter has come to this point, Dong Zhuo knows that it will be useless to scold Li Yu again, not to mention that Li Yu is dead, he thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Come on, pass on our family's orders, throw away all the grain, grass, baggage, and treasures that are temporarily useless, and the whole army will advance lightly to protect Your Majesty Luan and drive quickly to Hangu Pass, as for those princes and ministers and flat-headed pariahs, let them ask for more blessings, and if they can escape back to Hangu Pass, they will be considered lucky, and those who can't escape can only be counted as unlucky."
With Dong Zhuo's order, tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers threw away all their baggage, fled lightly, and even lost their armor, mixing in the crowd and pretending to be the lives of ordinary people.
Gao Chang saw the behavior of the Xiliang army, and immediately ordered: "Order the army to chase after the poor, confiscate the grain, grass, baggage, treasures and weapons they left behind, and appease the people!" β
Gao Chang reined in his war horse and looked into the distance, and the big fat figure in the middle of Tianzi Luan's car could still be faintly seen, but the day before yesterday, Gao Chang received a secret report from the secret guard - Li Shi's militia entered Liangzhou. If Dong Zhuo is killed at this moment, it will only be Li Shimin who is cheaper. Therefore, although Dong Zhuo's most elite 100,000 Xiliang warriors have been sent to Guanzhong at this moment, and the tens of thousands of guards around him have low combat strength, it is not impossible to kill Dong Zhuo, but Gao Chang still decided to let Dong Zhuo go and let him go back to Guanzhong to give Li Shimin a headache.
However, although Dong Zhuo ran away, the wealth he looted in Luoyang was cheaper than Gao Chang, which was the wealth accumulated in the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years!
γγγγγγγγγγγγγ
At night, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Guo Jia and others had already finished counting the loot, Guo Jia smiled and said to Gao Chang: "Lord, this time our army has won a complete victory, and the wealth looted by Dong Zhuo's old thief in Luoyang is all cheap. β
Gao Chang smiled faintly: "Fengxiao, it seems that I have gained a lot from being able to make you like this!" β
Fang Xuanling said on the side: "Lord, isn't it quite rich? This time, we seized 2,350,000 taels of gold, 13,290,000 taels of silver, 43,500,000 copper coins, 5,290,000 stones of grain and grass, 27,000 war horses, 400,000 pairs of armor, 110,000 bows and crossbows, 2,700,000 arrows, and countless spears, knives, and shields. β
Gao Chang was also taken aback, "There are so many!" β
Liu Bowen said in a deep voice: "The wealthy family of Luoyang searched everywhere for the people's fat and ointment, but they didn't expect that they didn't even save their lives in the end, and all the family wealth was given to Dong Zhuo. β
After listening to Liu Bowen's words, Gao Chang suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What about the people?" β
Guo Jia hurriedly replied: "My lord, this time Dong Zhuo fled in the wilderness, but there are still many people who were carried back to Guanzhong by the Xiliang army, and now there are still 782,000 people here, but Luoyang was burned to ashes, and they are afraid that they will be homeless." β
Gao Chang groaned, "Hebei is chaotic, and many fertile fields are still ownerless and abandoned for a long time; And Meng Tian led his troops on an expedition outside the Saiwai to urgently need the population. So go and tell the people that if they are willing to go outside the Saiwai, the government will reward them with fifty acres of fertile land and two oxen for ploughing; If you want to go to Youzhou and merge with the state, the government will reward 30 acres of fertile land and a cow; For those who go to Jizhou, the government rewards 20 acres of fertile land, ploughs a cow, and all the road expenses are subsidized by the government. As for those who want to go elsewhere, each person will be given ten taels of silver and two stones of grain. β
Several strategists said: "The Lord is benevolent and righteous, we will receive the order!" β
