However, after Dong Zhuo's order arrived in Yangcheng, the situation was not so smooth.

The reason is that Li Yu and other Dong Zhuo's henchmen and generals are in the body, because they have all offended Cao Ju, lest they not be tolerated by Cao Ju.

Li Yu, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were almost the earliest people to follow Dong Zhuo, but when it came to the ability to command troops, they were too far behind Hu Zhen.

When Dong Zhuo was there, with Hu Zhen as the commander, and the four of them as generals, it was nothing, and Li Yu and the four of them did not dare to disobey Hu Zhen's orders. However, Dong Zhuo is about to die, and the situation is naturally very different, and Hu Zhen can't suppress these four people.

Li Yu's four people's thinking is the same, after Dong Zhuo's death, they can lead the crowd to go to anyone, but they can't go to Cao Ju.

However, Hu Zhen didn't think so, he was a handsome talent, he knew how powerful Cao Ju was, and he knew that Cao Ju was the master, and the world was so big, there were not many people who dared to take in Dong Zhuo's old department, but Cao Ju had the strongest ability.

Li Yu and others clamored that they could not defect to Cao Ju, but Hu Zhen did not express his opinion, and Li Yu and others discussed which side of the princes they should defect to, but Hu Zhen did not express his opinion.

The three states in the south of the Yangtze River and Youzhou are all relatives of the Liu family, and it is absolutely impossible to accept them.

The Kwantung princes, who have been begging Dong, of course can't accept them.

Thinking about it, there is only one Xuzhou Tao Qian, he once accepted the surrender of the Yellow Turban thieves, and it is said that he should be able to accept their defection, after all, there are so many Xiliang cavalry.

In addition, there are only Liangzhou Han Sui and Ma Teng, but if you want to go to Xiliang, or enter from Yongzhou, or enter from Bingzhou, the owners of these two places don't seem to allow it.

After a day of deliberation, Li Yu and the four of them were at a loss, if Tao Qian accepted them, they might face the attack of the princes' alliance, and if Tao Qian rejected them, they really had no way out.

After Hu Zhen went back, he couldn't sleep over and over, he was different from Li Yusi, he was still relatively clean, there was no great evil in the house, and there was no conflict between him and Cao Ju, as long as he sincerely defected to Cao Ju, with his talent, he would inevitably be reused by Cao Ju, so Hu Zhen did not plan to follow Li Yu and the four of them to throw indiscriminately.

This army has a total of 50,000, 4,000 losses in defending the city, and 46,000 people, and the ones who can really be controlled by Hu Zhen are only 6,000 men and horses, and the remaining 40,000 people are in the hands of Li Yu's four generals.

After some thought, Hu Zhen decided to leave overnight and went west to Cao Ju.

Fortunately, Hu Zhen had already made a wise move, the city gate of the four cities, because the east gate was the most attacked, Hu Zhen ordered Li Yu and Guo Yan to lead the troops to hold on, the south gate was held by Fan Chou, the north gate was held by Zhang Ji, and the west gate was held by his headquarters.

Liu Bei was anxious to capture Yangcheng, so he attacked the east gate, and assisted in the south gate and the north gate, only the west gate was not attacked by Liu Bei's army, this is Xin Bi's strategy, the siege of three is missing one, I don't want to be cheap Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen led his troops to leave at night, but did not alarm the four generals of Li Yu, until the next morning, some soldiers accidentally found that the West Gate was empty, and hurriedly reported to the four generals Li Yu, and they knew that Hu Zhen had left without them.

Li Yu was furious and said, "I didn't expect Hu Zhen to go west to Cao Ju, it's really hateful." ”

Among the four generals, only Fan Chou and Cao Ju did not have any major conflicts, and after hearing this, he thought about it and said: "Hu Zhen is not necessarily a bad thing to go, but it is also good to find a way back for us." ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Fan Chou smiled slightly and said: "When it comes today, who doesn't know that we are the henchmen of the Taishi and dares to take us in, except for Cao Ju, maybe only Tao Xuzhou." If that Tao Xuzhou takes us in, if not, the world is so big, we can only go west to Cao Juye. ”

In fact, several of them know this truth, but Li Yu and the three of them don't want to say it.

Seeing this, Fan Chou continued: "Cao Ju is determined to be in the world, Corporal Lixian, respect talents, although the four of us have a gap with them, but that is a personal grudge, and Cao Ju has the ambition to swallow the world, and he will be able to tolerate our past grievances." ”

Guo Yan thought for a while and said: "Yesterday, when we were discussing, we were quite disrespectful to Cao Ju in our words. ”

Fan Chou laughed and said: "Hu Zhen has been friends with us for many years, and he is a wise general under the command of Taishi, and he is tied with Xu Rong. Yesterday's discussion, Hu Zhen did not say a word, which shows that he has decided to go west to Cao, and he knows that we only have this way. Therefore, when Hu Zhen joined Cao Ju, he would not talk about our disrespect, but would say more good things for us. ”

Hearing Fan Chou say this, Li Yu and the three of them were slightly relieved, no longer worried about whether Tao Qian would reject them, and even they still had some hope that Tao Qian would refuse them.

With the gradual withdrawal of the Tiger Prison Pass army, the Tiger Prison Pass was even more crumbling, and the news reached Yangcheng, which could not help but make Li Yusi General shocked, once the Tiger Pass was broken by Yuan Shao's army, Yangcheng would become a lonely city, how could they still have a way to live.

At this time, Li Yu and the four couldn't help but regret it, knowing that they should go west with Hu Zhen and go west.

Li Yu and the four of them didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately gave up Yangcheng and headed for the Tiger Prison Pass in the northwest.

Just when the fourth general Li Yu led the army to pass through the Tiger Pass, the Tiger Pass was lost, and the defeated troops in the pass also retreated, and together with their 40,000 troops, there were 100,000 people, and they went west together.

When Li Rong's army arrived, Xu Rong's army also retreated, and together with Cao Ren, the three-way army was one way, and they went west together and retreated into Hangu Pass.

Cao Ren conveyed Cao Ju's solicitation intentions, especially to Li Yu and others, the past has passed, and as long as Li Yu and others can strictly restrain their subordinates in the future, Cao Ju will inevitably reuse them, which can't help but make Li Yu and the four generals feel at ease.

The vigorous battle against Dong finally came to an end, Dong Zhuo died, and the body fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, who ordered someone to hang it up and light the sky lantern, which was three days and three nights.

Dong Zhuo's family left in Chang'an City was also killed by Yuan Shao, who led the army into the city, and even the three-year-old child was not spared. Dong Bai was the only one, because with Cao Ju to the west, he escaped this catastrophe.

The reason why Dong Bai hid from Dong Zhuo and followed Cao Ju to the west was because she fell in love with Cao Ju.

Xiliang woman, dare to love and hate, Dong Bai fell in love with Cao Ju, not only ran to Cao Ju's mansion every day, but also chased after Cao Ju alone after learning that Cao Ju had evacuated Luoyang.

Later, Cao Ju felt sorry for Dong Bai's affection, and pity him for destroying all of them, and more importantly, in order to appease Dong Zhuo's old department, he married Dong Bai and entered the door.
