As soon as Yuan Shao's idea of not fighting came out, it immediately aroused the "resonance" of many princes. Ma Fu smiled slightly and said to the princes: "If you don't want to pursue, then Ma will go with Brother Meng De and Sun Taishou!" Say goodbye. ”

With that, the groom pretended to be angry and walked out of the tent, and Cao Ying and Sun Quan followed.

Seeing this, Ma Teng hurriedly rushed to the outside of the tent and said to the horseman: "Don't be reckless!" Dong thief is not a general, don't underestimate the enemy just because he won a few games before! ”

Ma Fu said with a smile: "There is a sense of proportion, and the Hou Ye can go back to Wuwei and the Qiang Hu Rebellion first." ”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Ma Teng shook his hand and said: "You are now full-fledged, and you don't need to say anything more, you can ask for more blessings!" ”

After that, Ma Teng returned to the camp, and Cao Ying said to the horseman: "I didn't expect Master Hou to 'care' about Ma Taishou so much!" ”

Ma Fu knew that he had something to say, and said with a smile: "Ma has always been his subordinate, and he is the master of his beloved son, it is normal for him to care so much about Ma." Don't talk about it, I don't know what the two of them have for chasing Dong Thief? ”

Sun Jian said with a smile: "If you chase it with a light horse, you will definitely win!" ”

Ma Fu said: "In this case, if our soldiers are divided into three routes, Ma will attack from the south road, Brother Meng De will attack from the middle road, and Sun Taishou will pursue from the north road, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

Cao Ying said: "It's so good, but before pursuing, shouldn't we go into Luoyang first and find out?" ”

As soon as Cao Ying finished speaking, the other princes also paid their accounts one after another, and Yuan Shao said to them: "After discussing with the princes of all walks of life, we decided to enter Luoyang first, the leader of this alliance heard that Dong thief drove 100,000 civilians west to Chang'an, and the marching speed must be extremely slow, and it is not too late for the three of us to enter Luoyang first, and then go to pursue!" ”

Hearing him say this, the groom and the others had no choice but to agree.

The princes of the Eighteenth Road led the army to Luoyang, one of the eight passes, outside the revolving gate, and the guards of the revolving gate knew that it was difficult to resist, so they honestly offered the pass, and Zhao Cen, the guard of the Bishui Pass, saw that Dong Zhuo had led the army to leave, and the surname Suo took the initiative to sacrifice the Bishui Pass.

After the princes from all walks of life entered Luoyang City, they saw black smoke billowing out, piles of corpses, broken walls, and miserable. Yuan Shao saw that there was still fire in the city, and quickly ordered his army to go to extinguish the fire.

Finally extinguished the fire in the city, Yuan Shao heard that the imperial tomb was dug up, he hurriedly sent someone to bury the royal bones seriously, and then on the foundation of the temple, hurriedly built three thatched houses, and asked the princes to set up the holy gods, and slaughtered the Taigao (the Taigao is the highest level of sacrifice in ancient times, and the cattle, sheep and pigs are called Taigao) sacrifice.

After the sacrifice, the princes of all walks of life chose an open place to set up camp, while Ma Fu, Sun Quan and Cao Ying went to chase Dong Zhuo's army in three ways.

After Ma Fu led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to Huangchi, he fought with Yun Ying and Diao Chan, and then passed through the Lu clan, passed near Chang'an, and hurried to the direction of Xiliang.

Seeing him marching in such a hurry, Yun Ying had already roughly guessed what he was going to do, so he said to him: "Now that most of the troops under your command have surrendered, and they have not really collected them, it is not advisable to march in a hurry, in case they rebel, you will be helpless!" ”

The groom felt that he had a point, and slowed down the march.

It is said that when Cao Ying chased to the area of Xingyang, he fell for Li Ru's plan and returned defeated, while Sun Quan chased to Dayang, and found that Cao Ying's army was defeated, and the horseman was nowhere to be found, and he did not dare to go straight in, so he had to lead his troops back to Luoyang.

Seeing the return of Cao Ying and Sun Quan, Yuan Shao immediately entertained them with good wine and meat. Cao Ying's army was defeated, his heart was depressed, and after drinking a few more cups, he said to the princes from all walks of life: "If the princes from all walks of life are willing to work together, according to Tongguan, Zhen Sanfu, then Dong Thief will never come out!" ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Brother Meng De's words are wrong, now that Dong Thief is going to Chang'an, it is difficult to have a chance to rise again, we just need to choose a good opportunity to send a fierce general to eliminate it, we don't have to make such a big move!" ”

When Cao Ying heard him say this, he suddenly became angry, and without saying much, he got up and walked out of the camp directly, and went to Yangzhou with his army.

And Yuan Shao's failure to take the initiative to attack at this time was definitely not because he was afraid of Dong Thief's strength, but to be precise, he should be afraid of the strength of Ma Teng and Ma Fu. When Ma Fu, Cao Ying and Sun Quan sent troops to attack Dong Thief, he always sent people to secretly follow the three-way army. When he learned from the spies that the horseman did not lead the army to pursue Dong Jun, but went directly to Xiliang, he was still very puzzled at first, but then after thinking about it carefully, he figured it out, the horseman had already left a way back for himself, and he was going to grab the territory.

Once the horseman becomes bigger in Xiliang, he and Ma Teng can destroy the Dong thief, and the division will be left alone, which is definitely a very dangerous existence, keeping the Dong thief, Yuan Shao thinks that to a certain extent, it can contain the horseman's eastward advance, which is still very beneficial for him to vigorously develop his own power in the Central Plains.

And after Ma Teng learned that Ma Fu went straight to Xiliang, he suddenly felt that the big thing was not good, and he didn't inform Yuan Shao, and directly led the army to Xiliang in a hurry.

After Sun Jian saw that Cao Ying and the horseman left, the princes from all walks of life had no fighting spirit at all, and they didn't want to stay longer, so they led the princes' army back to Jiangdong.

However, after Ma Fu, Sun Jian, and Cao Ying all left, a rumor spread among the princes from all walks of life. It is said that Dong Thief was in a hurry and forgot to take away the jade seal of the country, and this jade seal was picked up by one of the three people who entered Luoyang first, Ma Fu, Sun Quan and Cao Ying.

The princes from all walks of life generally believed that the surname that the horseman picked up might be the largest, otherwise he would have been the nemesis of Dong thieves and would have rushed back to Xiliang in such a hurry. And they did not rule out the suspicion of Cao Ying and Sun Jian. After all, among the princes, the three of them walked in the most hurry.

Although they knew that the three of them were very likely to get the jade seal, the princes from all walks of life were helpless for the time being, and no one was willing to show that they were very interested in their jade seal in front of the princes, after all, it was very likely to lead to death!

Seeing that the princes from all walks of life were scattered one after another, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang suggested that Gongsun Zhan also withdraw their camps and return to the garrison. Gongsun Zhan also felt that Yuan Shao had no ability, and if he followed him, he would not have anything to say, so he pulled out the village and went north. After traveling to the plains, Gongsun Zan ordered Liu Bei to be the prime minister of the plains, and he went back to his own garrison to raise soldiers.

When Liu Dai, the Taishou of Gunzhou, asked Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, to receive the grain, but Qiao Mao was not a fool, and refused, Liu Dai was furious, and suddenly led the army into Qiao Mao's camp, Qiao Mao was unprepared and was directly killed by Liu Dai, and all the troops under his command surrendered.

Yuan Shao saw that the princes from all walks of life were scattered one after another, and he had the idea of setting up a new lord, but this was not something that could be done in a while, and now that Luoyang City was completely in ruins, he didn't want to stay longer, so he took his army back to Guandong......
