Cut a large group of generals of the coalition army, but it's not over yet, and dragged two difficult guys, this is the most important thing, Cao Ying and Liu Biao are not idle people, although Liu Biao's attack is not strong, but the defense is good, once he returns to Jingzhou, it will be a big trouble in the future.

Cao Mengde needless to say, as long as this guy gives him a little chance, he will definitely make a comeback, if he doesn't suffocate him with a stick this time, he will definitely come back in the future and bite back, which will definitely make you uneasy, what's more, if Cao Ying turns light into darkness and hides behind his back to make a yin move, this will be even more difficult.

So the next aftermath is the focus, whether you can kill these two guys will be very critical, and at the same time there is another thing that must be done, that is, to occupy the division again, that is, to regain control of Luoyang, although Luoyang is destroyed, but you can't give up.

Luoyang as the capital, symbolic significance, the defeat of the Kwantung coalition army, regain control of Luoyang, it means that the Kwantung princes' plot is broken, this is a great opportunity to show the imperial power, of course, the current imperial power is basically controlled by Mongo, showing the emperor's prestige, that is, highlighting the status of Mongo.

There is also a more important point, Luoyang, as a turning point from Guanzhong to Kanto, is of great strategic significance, and it is very good to regain control of the Tiger Pass, that is, to occupy the bridgehead, and use it as a hub to move to Kanto, posing a threat to Kanto, because Meng Ge will soon take action against Kanto.

On the second day after the execution of the Kwantung princes, Meng Ge immediately launched a round-up of Cao Ying and Liu Biao, and set up roadblocks on various roads, which was the first measure, and the key area was the road to Kwantung, and further investigated the war zone and tried to find them.

However, Meng Ge was not very satisfied, Cao Ying and the others did not know where to hide, and they could not find any traces, so he needed a more effective method.

Meng Ge thought for a while in the big tent, and felt that if it continued like this, it would definitely not work, and Cao Ying must be found as soon as possible, a day and a night have passed, no one knows where they have fled, and what are the consequences of letting them escape, Meng Ge is very clear.

Thinking of the consequences, Meng Ge couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and went to Guo Jia's big tent.

Walking through the snow and bypassing a few big tents, Meng Ge came to the destination of this trip, and said to Xiahoulan: "Go, ask if the military advisor is there?" ”

"Yes!" Xiahou Lan answered, and was just about to go over to ask the guards, but the guards took the initiative to come up, arched his hand and said: "I have seen the general, the military advisor has ordered, if the general comes, you can go in directly!" ”

"It seems that Bonghyo expected it!" Meng Ge smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal the guards to leave, and then walked to the big tent, at this time Guo Jia was reviewing the official documents, because he was too focused, he didn't even notice Meng Ge's arrival.

"Ahem, ahem!" Meng Ge coughed a few times deliberately, and Guo Jia, who was focused on his work, reacted.

"I've seen the lord! I focused on reviewing the official document just now, but it was rude! Guo Jia hurriedly got up to salute.

Meng Ge didn't care, took advantage of the situation to help Guo Jia, and said straightforwardly: "It's okay, I'm here today, mainly to tell you something!" You already know! ”

Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "The lord came here this time to exterminate the remnants, but with all due respect, they can no longer pose a threat, so why rush for a while!" We should start from the general direction, first occupy Luoyang, and then launch an operation against the Kanto, this is the most important thing, these things need to be done by the lord himself, the lord wants to leave at this time, it is really not suitable! ”

It is reasonable that Meng Ge should not leave, but Meng Ge does not want to see Cao Ying rise again, so he will come here.

Without waiting for Guo Jia to finish speaking, Meng Ge said: "I understand, there are many things waiting for me to preside over here, but I think I must go this time and hand over the pursuit of Cao Ying and others to the Poison Dragon Camp, although it is the best way, but I prefer to go in person, I am afraid that something will happen to them, so I will have to work hard here!" ”

"Huh!" Guo Jia was speechless, he wanted to say no, but he couldn't say it when it came to the end.

Without waiting for Guo Jia to object, Meng Ge immediately said: "The main thing at the moment is mainly two points, the first is to deal with the problem of the prisoners, escort them back to Luoyang, and then occupy Luoyang, and at the same time let Ma Chao and Zhang Liao lead the troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, which will be presided over by Xu Rong and Jia Xu, and Luoyang will be handed over to Fengxiao!" ”

In a few words, Meng Ge arranged things, Guo Jia wanted to say something else, but he couldn't do it, so he had to say: "Since the lord has made up his mind, then do it, but the lord must give a time limit, and when the deadline is reached, whether he can chase it or not, the lord must be in Luoyang!" ”

Meng Ge naturally agreed with the proposal of the deadline, and immediately said: "Of course, half a month, if there is no harvest within half a month, I will go to Luoyang!" ”

Half a month is not a long time, and when calculating, it is just right, Guo Jia thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

Soon the matter was decided, Meng Ge did not delay, immediately said goodbye to Guo Jia, left the camp with the pro-military camp, and went to meet Dian Wei, at this time Dian Wei was looking for clues everywhere, the approximate location is fifty miles southeast of Caoyang, but that place is located in the middle of nowhere, it is a deep mountain and old forest, and it is not easy along the way.

It wasn't until the evening that Mungo found Dian Wei, but the situation was not optimistic, and there was still no news from the coalition army, which was not good news for Mungo.

Now that the sky is getting dark, we must stop moving, the temperature at night is even lower, even the poisonous dragon camp can't ignore it, not to mention that the jungle terrain is complicated, Cao Ying and the others are not mediocre, if they are plotted, it will not be good.

Under the flickering lights, Mongo's brows furrowed, and Dian Wei was stating the situation.

"General, the current situation is like this, according to the Tanma report arranged by our army, the coalition forces did not flee in large numbers, and there were no large numbers of people and horses passing through the mountains, but what cannot be confirmed is whether Cao Ying and others will put on makeup and hide in remote mountain villages! It's not easy to find them, and we're looking ......"

Looking at the circles on the map and listening carefully to Dian Wei's narration, Meng Ge asked suspiciously, "Wait, Dian Wei, how do you think that the enemy has not left here!" ”

Mungo pointed to the circle on the map, which he didn't quite understand, according to Dian Wei's account, it was obvious that the enemy was not far from the battlefield, the enemy was not far from the entire war zone, but hid in this large war zone, but the place was too large, and the terrain was complicated, it was difficult to conduct a large-scale investigation.

So the question is, why is Dian Wei so sure that Cao Ying has not left this place, this is the most perplexing point of Meng Ge, although the detection ability of the Poison Dragon Battalion is very strong, it is impossible to check all of them in a short time.

Soon Dian Wei had an answer: "This, general, have you forgotten, we have arranged our eyes behind the enemy, there are many of our people distributed in this vast area, so this area is under our attention, even if it is a small group of people, it can't escape our eyes, of course, it is only the main road, if they go over the mountains, then it is another matter, but at this time, even we can't go over the mountains, the enemy army is even more impossible, and the biggest possibility is to hide." ”

"Hidden!" Mungo was slightly stunned, for this conclusion, Mungo was a little incredible.

"Of course, there is also a possibility that the enemy will choose to cross the Yellow River in the north, but there is no crossing in this area, and the enemy cannot cross, so there is no need to consider this......"

"Wait, the Yellow River in the north, they should be in the north, not the south!" Mungo stood up instantly, Dian Wei ignored a point, but now Mungo remembered.

Dian Wei frowned, and said puzzledly: "General, could it be mistaken, there is no ferry in this area, how can the enemy go to the north, and we have also found traces of enemy troops in the south, so I will lock this area later, but it is difficult to find for a while!" ”

It stands to reason that this is true, but who Cao Ying is, of course, it is impossible to be easily detected, Meng Ge said helplessly: "Wrong, all wrong, Cao Mengde is good, you were also deceived by him!" ”

"What's going on, General?" Xiahoulan also didn't quite understand why Meng Ge concluded that the enemy army was in the north and not in the south, and it was easier to slip through the south than to the south, and the Yellow River in the north was dangerous, and it was impossible to reach the other side without a ferry.

Meng Ge said quietly: "It's very simple, Cao Mengde and Liu Biao, taking advantage of your fixed idea, the north is indeed impassable, there are no boats, and the banks are too steep, but crossing the river is not their goal, their goal is to use the river channel, bypass our line of sight, and go downstream, understand?" ”

Dian Wei suddenly realized, according to the map show, Cao Ying really could not cross the Yellow River, but if he drifted down the Yellow River, this is possible, although there is no ferry upstream, but there are shoals downstream, you can re-land in the shallows, and then go to the Tiger Prison Pass, this method is indeed feasible.

And down the river in this way, the enemy can not only bypass the field of vision, the speed is not too slow, it is a little faster than coming over the mountains and mountains, but this road is more dangerous, because this generation has no ferries and boats, the only thing they can use is rafts, using rafts to drift, once it is not properly controlled, it is a dead end if it hits the reef.

The clues left in the south are just misleading Dian Wei, and Cao Ying and Liu Biao should have played a game.

Thinking of this possible surname, Dian Wei immediately said, "General, what should I do then?" It may be too late! ”

"Well, it may be too late!" Meng Ge was a little helpless, this has passed day and night, Cao Ying has long been unknown, and now it is too late to chase after him.

Xiahou Lan said: "General, why don't we ride our horses downstream immediately and block their way!" At the same time managed to organize a naval army to block the Yellow River! ”

After being silent for a while, Meng Ge said: "This is a must, make two preparations, we still have to intercept from the rear, Dian Wei, send someone to investigate the north, I think there should be traces left!" ”

"Yes, I'll send someone to investigate right away!" Dian Wei immediately responded, if this enemy escaped, his responsibility would be great, in this case, the coalition army could still run, Dian Wei couldn't sit still anyway.

However, this move was reckless, and it was difficult to investigate at night, and Mungo immediately shouted: "Come back, tomorrow, forget it at night!" Nothing can be found at all! ”

Xiahoulan just wanted to leave, but the night march, coupled with the heavy snow blocking the road, this is indeed not suitable, Xiahoulan hesitated: "Then, general, did you order the cavalry to set off immediately and rush downstream?" ”

Meng Ge thought about it, but still said, "Let's wait for tomorrow!" ”

This decision is a bit helpless, who makes this climate so bad, many things can't be done, such as night marching, which is very dangerous, even in flat areas, when the snow is falling, the road is not so easy to walk.

After much discussion, Meng Ge still decided not to set off for the time being, and Cao Ying and the others got another chance to breathe.

In the early morning of the second day, after two days of heavy snowfall, it finally stopped, and just after dawn, Mungo and the others set off without stopping, and the herald rode his horse at a gallop, and he was going to order the cavalry battalion of Liancheng to leave immediately, while Mungo and the others went straight to the north.

Although the Yellow River is in the north, it is possible to reach the banks of the Yellow River only by passing through the mountains and forests, and in the afternoon, Meng Ge and Dian Wei and others finally reached the shore.

As soon as he arrived in the northeast of Caoyang, Dian Wei couldn't wait to say: "General, I'll go find clues first!" ”

"Well, go ahead, be careful, don't let the enemy plot! There is also heavy snow that will cover the tracks, and if you encounter a cave, search it, and then see if there are any trees that have been cut down, and there are ashes that have been burned, these are all clues! Mungo cautiously admonished.

Before Meng Ge finished speaking, Dian Wei disappeared, he couldn't wait, the north was indeed neglected, so Dian Wei wanted to make up for his mistakes and catch Cao Ying and the others.

Looking at the vast land, Xia Houlan said helplessly: "General, take a rest, this place is so big, you may not be able to find it tomorrow!" ”

Mungo said helplessly: "Yes! This Cao Mengde is really ruthless enough, he actually chose this more difficult road, if he drifts to the north, it will be a sky high for birds to fly! I'm underestimating him! ”

Counting the ability to escape for his life, Cao Ying did not tolerate Liu Bei at all, when he was under Dong Zhuo's hands, this guy escaped once, and he also said the famous saying, that time was also a thousand-mile escape, and the last time in Luoyang, this guy was ambushed by Xu Rong and Meng Ge, and he also escaped that time.

Today, Cao Ying had to flee again, and chose a more dangerous path, different from Liu Bei's ability to escape, Cao Ying escaped cleanly every time, and would never leave his wife and children behind, his escape ability should be higher than Liu Bei's, but Liu Bei's habit of escaping.

At this time, in the prisoner camp, Xi Zhicai was thinking about something, and he didn't seem to be aware of the rope on his body, what he was most worried about was whether Cao Ying could escape, and if he escaped, he would have no regrets.

At this moment, the guard walked in with a meal and said with a smile: "Sir, let's eat!" Presumably the gentleman is hungry too! ”

Xi Zhicai blinked his eyes vigorously, he wanted to say something, his face was frightened, but he couldn't say anything with a cloth in his mouth.

Seeing this, the guards who had been guarding Xi Zhicai raised their right hands and knocked them the back of Xi Zhicai's neck, Xi Zhicai's eyes were dark, and he fainted to the ground again......
