Chapter Twenty-Six: Pursuing Dong Zhuo
"Hmph, originally, even you have changed!" Cao Cao immediately snorted coldly.
Accused by Cao Cao in person, Yuan Shao's face changed, his face seemed to be a little ashamed, and after all, he let out a long breath and said: "Anyway, you have to go by yourself, I can secondment some soldiers and horses to you, I don't plan to go." ”
The decline of the Han Dynasty has been irreversible, who can not change. Mengde, it's time for you to wake up from the dream of the Zhongxing Dahan.
"No need, I'll bring my own people!" Cao Cao snorted angrily and prepared to walk away.
"Lord Cao, slow down!" At this moment, there was a cry in the crowd.
"What's the matter with General Lu?" Cao Cao turned around and saw that it was Lu An, his face looked a little better, no matter how unhappy he was, he Cao would not be angry with a general under the princes, especially this general is still a famous brave general in the world.
"Lord Cao is loyal and patriotic, and is willing to hunt down and kill Dong Thief alone, my family Kong Taishou admires it very much, so let me follow Lord Cao to go together!" Lu An smiled at him and said.
"Huh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was surprised, and turned his eyes to look at Kong Rong, who was a little unclear, but he had an epiphany in his heart, and hurriedly showed a smile, and thanked him: "Then, Cao Mou will thank Master Kong for his kindness!" Kong Taishou is a literati, but at this time, among the princes in the world, only Lord Kong is willing to help Cao to hunt down and kill Dong thief, this loyal and patriotic heart, Cao admires! ”
Although I don't know why Lu An is willing to help him without being granted by Kong Rong, Cao Cao can't take care of it so much at this time, and it is good to get more help.
"This!" Kong Rong didn't know what was going on at this time, and glared at Lu An fiercely at the moment, but since Lu An had said it, and Cao Cao had also made a statement, then he couldn't change his mouth now, otherwise this reputation would be finished, thinking of this, Kong Rong had to forcibly show a smile: "What Lord Cao said, everyone is just to crusade against Dong Thief and welcome back His Majesty, but I don't have many soldiers and horses, and the siege of the city some time ago was damaged. Therefore, I can only send 5,000 troops and horses to let Xuantong lead the team to help Lord Cao. ”
If you want to do favors, you have to do it to the end, and since you want to pursue it, sending Lu An alone will inevitably seem too petty and make people laugh, so Kong Rong gritted his teeth and forcibly transferred five thousand from his already small number of troops, so that no matter whether he succeeds or not, he Kong Rong can be regarded as doing his best.
"Thank you, Master Kong!" Cao Cao thanked him again, and got the help of five thousand soldiers and horses, Cao Cao finally had a trace of confidence in his heart, although it was too far behind Dong Zhuo's army, but it was better than nothing, not to mention that these five thousand soldiers and horses were still led by fierce generals like Lu Xuantong, and it was believed that it was a lot of combat effectiveness.
"Xuantong, you go and get five thousand foot soldiers to follow Master Cao and set off!" Kong Rong walked up to Lu An, patted him on the shoulder, and pretended to be an atmospheric way. But then he whispered to Lu An's side and whispered: "Dong thief is not easy to get along with, remember to protect your own safety, and I will settle accounts with you when I come back!"
When Lu An heard this, he showed a wry smile, and decided to pursue Dong Zhuo without saying hello to Kong Rong, of course, not because he was really loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but his main mission three was still hanging on it, seeing that Dong Zhuo was about to withdraw to Chang'an, this time it can be said to be the last chance, so you have to try your luck if you say anything, it is better than staying here and having no chance at all. Fortunately, Kong Rong admired him very much, not only did not refuse, but allocated 5,000 soldiers and horses to help him, this kind of kindness, to be honest, Lu An was really moved.
took Kong Rong's talisman to lead 5,000 soldiers, and Lu An set off with Cao Cao's 10,000 soldiers and horses. It is worth mentioning that Cao Cao's 10,000 soldiers and horses were also foot soldiers, and 15,000 infantry pursued Dong Zhuo, who had more than 100,000 iron cavalry, which made these princes watch them leave like fools.
"Xuantong, why are you willing to follow me to pursue Dong Zhuo without getting Kong Taishou's order?" Along the way, Cao Cao asked with some curiosity.
"Dong Zhuo is violent, brutal as a businessman, and risking the world is not to destroy the national capital, I want to kill him, it's as simple as that!" Lu An put away his smile when he heard this, and said coldly.
"Xuantong is really a righteous man!" When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately in awe.
"Then dare to ask Lord Cao? With the wisdom of Lord Cao, we should know that we are going, it is like an egg hitting a stone, and it is extremely dangerous. But he still insists on pursuing it, why is this? Lu An asked rhetorically.
"Xuantong is a righteous man, but I Cao someone also thinks that he has a loyal and patriotic heart, these princes since they entered Luoyang, they immediately do not want to forge ahead, I Cao Mengde just want to make the righteous people in the world wake up through my own actions, although Dong thief is strong and strong, but it is not that no one dares to go against it, I Cao Cao is one!" Cao Cao's righteous and righteous way.
"It's strange to believe you! You're not trying to make a name for yourself yet! Lu An pursed his lips in his heart, but there was a look of admiration on his face: "Lord Cao's patriotic heart is very respectful!" ”
"Each other, each other!" The two brothers glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.
On the Luoyang side, just after Cao Cao and Lu An left, Sun Jian also returned to the team at this time and returned to the allied army, but when he returned, he immediately packed up his soldiers and horses, said goodbye to the other princes, and prepared to return to Jiangdong.
"Wentai? Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Among the princes, Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others, who had a slightly better relationship with Sun Jian, asked.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, it's not that I, Sun Jian, want to leave at this time, it's really that there is a rebellion in Changsha, and I urgently need to go back to defend it, so I have to rush back to Jiangdong as soon as possible, and I ask you for forgiveness!" Sun Jian clenched his fists and explained.
"Oh, since it's such a hundred thousand urgent things, then Wentai will go!" When the princes heard this, they couldn't say anything, so they had to say goodbye to him one by one.
"Hmph, Wentai, you want to rush back to Jiangdong in the starry night, is it really because of what you said?" At this moment, Yuan Benchu, the leader of the alliance who was sitting at the top, snorted coldly.
"Why did the Alliance Leader say that?" Sun Jian felt a pimple in his heart, but he asked quietly.
"Your men and horses were the first to enter Luoyang City, but I heard that you fished out a rare treasure from the Luoyang Palace, why don't you take it out for everyone to see?" Yuan Shao's fingers tapped on the table and said unhurriedly.
"Discovered!" Sun Jian was shocked in his heart, but his face was even calmer: "Where did the alliance leader get the news, he led his troops to extinguish the fire in the next time he entered Luoyang, and he never got any rare treasures!" ”
