Chapter 36: Dissolution of the Alliance

After a short time, Cao Cao gathered some of the routs and came back, he suffered heavy losses this time, 10,000 horses now seem to be less than a thousand, and the rest are estimated to have been killed or captured by Lu Bu, but fortunately, the Xiahou brothers under his command and several brothers of the Cao clan are safe and sound, and they have come back to report, which is also a great luck in misfortune.

"Huh? Xuantong, who is this woman? At this time, Cao Cao, who had settled his mind, noticed that there was a masked woman wearing a light veil next to Lu An, although he couldn't see his face, his Miaoman's posture still made Cao Cao, an old pervert, feel moved.

"My sweetheart!" Seeing this, Lu An immediately frowned, ignoring the embarrassed expression under Diao Chan's veil, and said coldly.

"It turned out to be Xuantong's sweetheart, and he was really a talented man and a woman!" Cao Cao noticed that Lu An's face was not good, and knew that he might have lost some of his temper just now, so he smiled wryly.

"Lord Cao, since there is nothing to do, then it is better for us to retreat quickly, otherwise Lu Bu will chase after him with a large number of cavalry, and it will be troublesome!" Seeing Cao Cao's interest, Lu An didn't pursue it, looked at the direction of Lu Bu's retreat, and spoke.

"What Xuantong said is very true, let's hurry up!" When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately remembered the terrifying moment just now, and hurriedly echoed.

System Prompt: The host is completely out of battle, and after the training of blood and fire, the 3258 sword and shield soldiers under your command are promoted to elite sword and shield soldiers! “

System prompt: The host automatically gives up killing Dong Zhuo, the main quest 3 - Hero's Road is canceled, the main quest 3 - The Prince's Road is opened, please quickly obtain the military and political power of a place (at least one county). ”

"Hmm!" Just as a few people were quickly leading the army away, Lu An paused slightly, it seemed that he had given up killing Dong Zhuo, and the task of this heroic road was directly canceled, and he could only be a prince if he couldn't become a hero, so the question was, who should he go to to the official, Kong Rong? It's a bit of nonsense, he's a Taishou himself. It is the best way to find Dong Zhuo, the emperor is there for him, and asking for a Taishou official is a matter of his words, but he just shot him blind in one eye, he can't wait to cut himself with a thousand knives, where will he be an official? Thinking about it, Lu An didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't bother to care about these things, there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, let's go back first!

After about two days of marching, they returned to Luoyang, and Yuan Shao had already received the news, personally brought all the princes to greet him, from this point of view, Yuan Shao did have its leniency, from Cao Cao's appearance of only a bunch of remnants left, he knew that Cao Cao was defeated and returned, but he never mentioned this matter outside, only said that the banquet helped them catch the wind, which was enough to give them face. Although Cao Cao was depressed, Yuan Shao's face could not be denied, so he had to forcibly participate in this so-called reception banquet with a smile.

"Why don't you see Brother Wentai, as well as Brother Gongshan (Liu Dai) and Brother Yuan Wei (Qiao Mao)?" In the middle of the wine, Cao Cao saw that there were three less princes of the Eighteenth Road, and suddenly asked a little strangely.

"Hey! Don't mention it! As soon as Cao Cao mentioned it, the faces of all the princes were a little unpleasant.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao asked.

"Sun Jian picked up the heirloom jade seal in Luoyang, and now he has swallowed it and rushed to Jiangdong! But Liu Dai and Qiao Mao had a conflict, last night Liu Dai led the army to attack Qiao Mao's barracks and killed him, maybe he was afraid that we would blame him, so he ran away overnight! Yuan Shao's face was very bad. No matter which of these things was, it made his face blank as the leader of the alliance.

"This!" When Cao Cao heard this, he was also quite speechless, this Dong Zhuo had just retreated, and there was such a big infighting on his side, it seems that this alliance army really can't make a big deal, himself

"Forget it, don't mention this, Meng De, you went to pursue Dong Zhuo this time, do you have any gains?" Yuan Shao didn't want to mention this, but asked Cao Cao instead. Although he knew that Cao Cao was defeated, he was not very clear about the details after all, and he was afraid that Cao Cao's face was not good for him outside, but now it doesn't matter in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"I'm ashamed to say that Xuantong and I went to the fork in Xingyang Road, Xuantong wanted to take the official road, but I didn't listen to him, took the trail on the left, we divided our troops, but in the end I was ambushed by Dong thieves, fortunately Xuantong helped, and escaped with my life!" Although Cao Cao was angry that these princes refused to pursue with him, it was not good to show it at this reception banquet, so he had to be very depressed.

"Then, Xuantong, have you ever chased Dong Zhuo?" When the princes heard this, they glanced at Lu An again.

"Hmmm! Not only did he catch him, but he almost killed him, but he was stopped by someone! Lu An nodded.

"Who's holding you back?"

"Cai Yong, Cai Zhonglang!" Lu An looked at the questioning expressions of the princes, and his tone did not fluctuate at all.

"Well, it won't! Cai Zhonglang is the most well-known Confucian in the world, famous all over the world, although he is now under the control of Dong Thief, but he will not take refuge in Dong Thief! Among the princes, except for Cao Cao, who was indifferent when he heard Lu An tell what happened on the way, everyone else had some incredible words.

"He didn't take refuge in Dong Zhuo, but said that I don't have enough soldiers and horses, I only have 5,000 armor soldiers, and they are all foot soldiers, just because Dong Zhuo's army was defenseless, and the formation was scattered before rushing to kill him, he could have killed Dong Zhuo, but Cai Zhonglang said, I only have these soldiers and horses, even if I kill Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that I will not be able to save the Son of Heaven, but it will make the Xiliang army a chaotic army, and it will harm the lives of the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty when it is played, I think what he said is reasonable, so I retreated and only shot Dong Zhuo in one eye!" Lu An said. Anyway, these things will come out in two days, and he has nothing to hide.

"This, I'm waiting to lose the fighter!" When the princes heard this, they immediately made a heartache one by one, and Yuan Shao slammed the table even more angrily, he knew that it was so simple, even if these princes didn't go, he would go himself! With his own prestige, he can also bring and encourage a few princes to go together, and if he welcomes back the Son of Heaven at that time, he is afraid that the prestige of his famous Yuan clan in this world will reach a peak in history, then he Yuan Shao will not fly to the sky.

Lu An just looked at these princes calmly, some of them may be performing, and some of them may sincerely regret it, but one thing that can be confirmed is that they are unreliable, otherwise, wherever they just feel that the pursuit is too dangerous, they will all stop.

When these princes hung their heads and paused their chests for a while, Yuan Shao finally took the lead in speaking: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless for me to regret it, at this moment, let's talk about the business to Meng De!" ”

"What?" When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes habitually and asked.

"In the past few days of your pursuit, we have discussed it, our alliance has been maintained for several months, although it has not welcomed back Your Majesty, but it has also forced Dong Zhuo back to Guanzhong, and the princes have not returned to their own territory for a long time, and there has been no one to govern the place for a long time, I am afraid that there will be chaos, so everyone wants to temporarily retreat and disband the alliance army!" Yuan opened his mouth, but finally said it.

"This, Your Majesty is still in Dong Zhuo's hands, how can we retreat!" Cao Cao said angrily.

"At this time, the fighter plane has been lost, we are afraid that we will not be able to take Dong Zhuo for a while, it is better to withdraw the troops first to cultivate!"

"Youzhou Hu'er committed the frontier again a few days ago, but I'm in a hurry to go back and kill Hu!"

"Yes! Keep it useful, and when we are strong, it's not too late to kill back! ”

"That makes sense!"

At this time, without Yuan Shao taking the lead, these princes opened their mouths one after another, and it seemed that they had already wanted to retreat for a long time.

"Alright! Now that everyone has made up their minds, then feel free! Farewell, everyone! Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Cao Cao took a deep breath and put his tone very flat, but after all, he was still angry, and he left the camp directly.

In this scene, Lu An has no room to intervene, although he has made a lot of achievements, but he is only a military general and has no territory of his own, so at this time, he can only stand behind Kong Rong and be a bystander.

In fact, from the current point of view, in the future, the most famous troubled hero Cao Cao is still the most loyal to the Han family among all the princes here, whether he decided to chase Dong Zhuo alone, or from all kinds of performances, it can be said that he is an out-and-out loyal minister, but I am afraid that he was finally disappointed in the Han Dynasty to the extreme, and felt that there were no like-minded people in the world, so he finally became a careerist! But even so, throughout his life, he did not seek to usurp the throne, but only made a king of Wei. Watching Cao Cao leave in a negative mood, Lu Anxin thought complicatedly. It seems that looking at a person cannot only be one-sided, with the change of time and environment, people's mentality will also change.

And when the princes were discussing the dissolution of the alliance, Lu Bu also led the Xiliang cavalry that had previously ambushed Cao Cao to catch up with Dong Zhuo's army, and after handing over the military power, Lu Bu came to see Dong Zhuo, but when he saw Dong Zhuo's tragic situation, Lu Bu was subconsciously a little stunned, how could Dong Zhuo be blind in one eye, as if he had also suffered some injuries, and he was lying on a bed humming at the moment, while Li Ru was standing aside to serve.

"Greetings to the Father!" Somehow, seeing Dong Zhuo's miserable appearance, Lu Bu laughed a little in his heart, but his face was silent. "Fengxian, what do you think of my treatment of you?" Seeing Lu Bu coming, Dong Zhuo finally sat up from the Hu bed and said very calmly.

"You fat pig, you don't give Uncle Ben any military power, you guard against Uncle Ben every day, and you dare to ask me such things!" Lu Bu took a sip in his heart, but said very respectfully: "The father-in-law is naturally very good to the child. ”

After so many years outside, Lu Bu has also learned well, and sometimes, not only can he not tell the truth, but he also has to pretend, and the more hypocritical he is, the better.

"I'm very good to you, the red rabbit horse gave you, the reward has never been broken, and I accepted you as a righteous son, which can be described as a grace!" Dong Zhuo seemed to be answering Lu Bu, and seemed to be talking to himself, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his face, and suddenly scolded Lu Bu: "But how did you bastard treat your true appearance?" In vain, I am so kind to you, but you see something different, and you don't think about reciprocating, but eat inside and out! ”
