Dong Zhuo's side naturally couldn't hide Xu Ji's fire in Luoyang, and Xu Ji immediately guessed Dong Zhuo's actions, so he and Sun Jian rushed to Luoyang with their headquarters. At this time, the guards of Bishui Pass naturally knew that at this time, since the top boss had given up Bishui Pass, he naturally did not need to continue to resist, and Bishui Pass, which had no reinforcements, was like a lonely city, and the princes were enough to conquer Bishui Pass even if they exchanged their lives, so Dong Zhuo's general Zhao Cen also simply chose to surrender.

The princes were able to enter the pass, and it was not until this time that Yuan Shao learned that a few days ago, a group of people had broken through the Bishui Pass at night, Dong Zhuo, the soldiers who surrendered, may not know who these people were, but Yuan Shao knew in an instant, these must be Xu Ji who broke away from the princes' army and Sun Jian, who was defeated by Huaxiong before. Yuan Shao was a little hesitant when he heard the news, although attacking Luoyang at this time was the best choice than Dong Zhuo's battle, but it was equivalent to saving Xu Ji and Sun Jian, and more importantly, Xu Ji seized the opportunity to win the princes Xu Ji is definitely the most prestigious person among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, after all, he was the first person to "break" the Bishui Pass, but Yuan Shao was obviously not willing to let Xu Ji get such benefits, so Yuan Shao naturally ordered to be stationed in Bishui Pass in a hurry.

However, Cao Cao came to the door that night, although Yuan Shao knew Cao Cao's purpose, but Yuan Shao couldn't explain the reason why he did this, so when Cao Cao said: "Now Dong thief goes west, it is the time to take advantage of the situation to pursue." Why did he stand still in the first place? Yuan Shao was silent for a long time and then replied indifferently: "The princes explained that the soldiers under their command were tired after repeated battles, and it was probably useless to reluctantly enter again. Cao Cao's face changed instantly when he heard this, and then he pointed at Yuan Shao and asked, "Isn't it still caring about Wen Lie's affairs now?" Now Dong thieves burn the palace. robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shaken. I don't know where to go. At the time of the survival of this Han crisis, the world was decided by a war. Is selfishness the first priority? Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao had spoken to such an extent, so he naturally couldn't still look calm, and replied categorically: "Meng Dexiu has to say in vain, Yuan Shao is definitely not selfish, you can summon the princes to discuss it together and see what the result is!" ”

Of course, Cao Cao would not refuse when he heard this, and after Yuan Shao summoned the princes, Cao Cao asked again: "Now that Dong Zhuo has taken the Son of Heaven hostage and fled to Chang'an in a hurry, it is when we are waiting to pursue the victory, why are the princes suspicious and not entering?" But to Cao Cao's surprise, the princes present were unanimously silent, and then they all shirked for various reasons, but the core meaning was that they were unwilling to continue the pursuit. Cao Cao was already hopeless in his heart. Whether this was Yuan Shao's arrangement in advance or the various princes had their own selfish intentions, it was absolutely impossible for them to lead their troops to pursue, so Cao Cao had to coldly drop a sentence: "The erection is not enough and the plan!" "Left alone.

Looking at Dong Zhuo's back, the princes in the tent fell silent, indeed they may not be able to afford Cao Cao's background, and they may not all agree with Cao Cao's actions and behavior, but in the face of Cao Cao's attitude, they are naturally a little ashamed. However, even so, they still didn't have any intention of corresponding Cao Cao. And after completely getting out of the big tent, Cao Cao finally gave up on these princes in the tent, and now Dong Zhuo fled in a hurry, and these princes who usually strategized did not even have the courage to try, which inevitably made Cao Cao begin to wonder what was wrong with the big man.

But even so, Cao Cao decided to pursue, although he was alone. And Cao Cao didn't plan to stay in Bishui Pass for a long time at all, so he led his troops to pull out the camp overnight and pursued Dong Zhuo's official road to avoid trouble in Chang'an. But Cao Cao didn't know what kind of trouble awaited him at this time.

On the other side, Xu Ji and Sun Jian were already close to Luoyang City at this time. They almost watched Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang City, and Sun Jian wanted to pursue, but Luoyang was the imperial capital, and Xu Ji also said that Dong Zhuo must have an ambush. Sun Jian had no choice but to press his anger and choose to rescue Luoyang first, although this was a drop in the bucket, but at that moment, Xu Ji couldn't sit back and watch the historic imperial capital be burned by Dong Zhuo. And once he chooses to rescue Luoyang, he will inevitably give up the pursuit of Dong Zhuo. Sun Jian was very unwilling, but Xu Ji's words made Sun Jian recognize the situation: "Brother." Now you and I have less than 10,000 soldiers in our hands, and the generals are even more stretched. Once Dong Zhuo is ambushed, you and I are both fierce and unlucky. ”

Sun Jian is not stupid, his purpose is just to seek more combat merits, but after all, he still has to have his life to get it, and once he is buried, there is naturally no way to talk about these things, so Sun Jian still made a decision quickly. However, even if Xu Ji and Sun Jian tried their best to extinguish the fire in Luoyang, it still had little effect, Dong Zhuo didn't just set a fire, the whole of Luoyang was already drowned in the fire, and the only thing Xu Ji could do was to bring out some of the classics in the royal family's collection, and the once prosperous Luoyang also completely disappeared in Dong Zhuo's fire.

On the other side, Dong Zhuo has arrived in Xingyang all the way, and Xingyang Taishou is Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, when Xu Rong has been stationed in Xingyang with 10,000 soldiers, Xu Rong learned that Dong Zhuo came to greet him, at this time Li Ru has also caught up with Dong Zhuo at this time with Dong Zhuo, after seeing Xu Rong, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "The Zhangren are now abandoning Luoyang, Confucianism is expected to have a chasing soldier behind, in order to prevent the pursuers from blocking the Zhangren's major event, you can teach Xu Rong to ambush the army outside the city of Xingyang, next to the mountain dock, if there are soldiers chasing, let it go, I personally led people to attack it, After the Confucian generals defeated the pursuing troops, they then ordered Xu Rong to wave his army to intercept and cover the killing. If it is compared, it can make those who come after it dare not chase back. Dong Zhuo thought so deeply that he ordered Xu Rong to act according to Li Ru's plan, but Dong Zhuo was not worried about leaving Li Ru to fight with the princes, so he turned to Lu Bushuai to break off the elite army, and wait for the pursuing army to defeat him.

It has been decided that Dong Zhuo will no longer stay in Xingyang for a long time, and immediately set off and went straight to Chang'an, Lu Bu led the headquarters to ride off, and at this time Cao Cao had already passed Luoyang, because he saw that the fire in Luoyang was pressing, Cao Cao simply did not go but chased Dong Zhuo directly, so he missed the opportunity to meet Xu Ji. Cao Cao was anxious in his heart, so he naturally hurried and hurried, and Lu Bu deliberately slowed down his pace, so on the second day, Cao Cao caught up with the iron cavalry behind Lu Bu's palace, and when he saw Cao Cao coming, Lu Bu was also Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Sure enough, as Li Ru expected, you wait and see how I kill the general!" Cao Cao saw Lu Bu riding out of the horse and shouting: "Traitor! Robbing the Son of Heaven. Where will the displaced people go? ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu smiled contemptuously and said, "Betrayal coward." What a lie! As he spoke, the dismissal was approaching, and Cao Cao knew that he was by no means Lu Bu's opponent. immediately turned his horse back, and behind Cao Cao, Xiahou saw that Lu Bu was coming fiercely, so he jumped on his horse with a spear and took Lu Bu directly. The two of them didn't count, Cao Cao heard the sound of a trumpet, but it was Li Dao who led an army and killed from Cao Cao's left flank, Cao Cao was suddenly a little surprised, and immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead his troops to meet the enemy. But before Cao Cao could relax and hear the shouting of killing on the right, Guo Yan also led the army to kill. Cao Cao saw that the situation was no longer right, but for a while he could not escape, so he had to order Cao Ren to go to resist the enemy.

And the three-way military horses under Lu Bu are all overwhelming. On the front, Xiahoudun has already fallen behind. Although he can save his life for a while, he only has the power to defend. Cao Cao saw that Xiahoudun could not resist the enemy Lü Bu, so he urgently ordered the soldiers to sing gold, and Xiahoudun immediately flew back to the battle when he heard this. Most of Cao Cao's soldiers were recruits, where could they withstand the impact of these veterans under Lu Bu's command who were crawling in the sea of knives and fans, and Cao Cao's troops were all defeated, and all the soldiers scattered and fled. At this time, Cao Cao could also see that the situation was already one-sided, and no matter how much grass it was, it could no longer make up for the gap in strength between the two sides. So Cao Cao immediately turned his horse and retreated to Xingyang.

When Cao Cao retreated to the foot of a barren mountain, the time was already about the second watch. Cao Cao looked up and saw that the moon was as bright as day, but Cao Cao didn't have the slightest interest in appreciating it at this time, he looked back at the people around him. There are less than 100 people. Hastily wiped a long sigh and called the little colonel next to him to order him to gather the remnants, while Cao Cao himself led people to set up camp first, and guessed that he had just rested for a while. When he was already preparing to bury the pot and make rice, Cao Cao suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps around him. Then there was the sound of shouting and killing that shook the sky.

Cao Cao secretly complained in his heart, although he was worried, he didn't expect that Dong Zhuo not only had arrangements after the break, but also intercepted and killed his ambush. At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and ask. But apparently this is not the time for Cao Cao to be sentimental. At this moment, Xu Rong ambushed all his troops. Cao Cao had no choice but to hurriedly get on his horse and run away, but unexpectedly, Xu Rong had been paying attention to him for a long time, and when Cao Cao rode his horse, Xu Rong chased straight after him. And Cao Cao didn't dare to fight in front of the enemy general, so he turned around and left.

Xu Rong saw that there were chaos around him and it was difficult for him to catch up, so he immediately picked up a carved bow and arrow, and shot Cao Cao in the shoulder. Cao Cao didn't care about the pain and stopping the bleeding, so he stiffly lowered his body and fled with arrows, and Cao Cao suddenly fell out of the air when he stepped over the hillside. It turned out that two sergeants were lying in the grass, and when they saw Cao Cao riding their horses, they were able to fire two shots in the grass, and Cao Cao's war horse was shot before they had time to turn.

Cao Cao turned over and fell off his horse, when he was wounded by an arrow and did not dare to move, so he was captured by the second pawn. Just when Cao Cao was desperate, he saw a general-like man flying on a horse, and immediately slashed two foot soldiers to death, and after killing two foot soldiers, he hurriedly dismounted and rescued Cao Cao. Cao Cao was already a little confused, and he took a desperate breath to look at it, but it turned out to be Cao Hong. Cao Cao then smiled bitterly: "Zilian, I see that I am afraid that I will die here today, Zilian can go and leave me alone!" Hearing this, Cao Hong said categorically: "Mengde, get on the horse!" Zilian followed on foot!. Cao Cao frowned when he heard this: "General Encore has no horses?" If the thieves catch up, what will you do? ”

After Cao Hong heard Cao Cao's words, he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "Meng De doesn't know, there is no Cao Hong in the world, but there is no Meng De." Zilian is easy to bury here, and it is also Zilian's luck to be able to change the lord and get rid of it! Cao Cao said with emotion when he heard this: "If I can survive today, it will be a meritorious achievement." ”

So Cao Cao turned over and got on his horse, and Cao Hong took off his armor and dragged his sword on foot to follow Cao Cao's horse. After walking to more than four watches, I saw a big river in front of me, blocking the way, and the shouting behind was getting closer. Cao Cao smiled helplessly and said to Cao Hong: "My life has come to this, and I can't be resurrected!" Cao Hong was still unwilling to give up, and immediately helped Cao Cao dismount, took off Cao Cao's armor, and carried Cao Cao across the water. When Cao Hong arrived on the other side with Cao Cao on his back, the pursuers had already arrived, and seeing that Cao Cao was already on the other side, he released arrows across the water. Cao Cao and Cao Hong didn't dare to stay for a long time, and fled quickly with muddy water.

Along the way, Cao Hong kept Cao Cao forward, until he was more than dawn, and walked more than 30 miles, and saw a mound, at this time Cao Cao was already quite tired, so he and Cao Hong went to the hill to rest temporarily. Suddenly, at the beginning of the shout, a group of people and horses were rushing towards the mound where Cao Cao was, and Cao Cao took a closer look and realized that it was Xu Rong. There was another panic in my heart. And the reason why Xu Rong did this again was because after Xu Rong learned that Cao Cao waded across the river, he crossed the river from the upper reaches to search and pursue him along the way. Cao Cao was panicking in his heart, and the arrow wound on his shoulder made Cao Cao a little vain. It was when the house leak happened to rain overnight, and I saw another group of people coming behind Xu Rong. But Cao Cao seemed to see hope, and the clothes of the men and horses here were obviously different from those of Xu Rong's corporals.

And Xu Rong naturally discovered this, but he didn't know who the person behind him was, so he shouted: "Who are you, that young man?" Don't you see that the adults are doing something? "The boy, yes, is just a teenager, which is why Cao Cao has hope.

Xu Ji came, and in order to pursue speed, he first brought Chen Zhi's cavalry, which was a more elite unit that had never been revealed in front of people in Xiyuan back then. At this moment, Xu Rong didn't take the young man in front of him to heart at all. But Cao Cao actually really wanted to remind Xu Rong that the young man in front of him might be more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuodu. However, Cao Cao didn't have time to do this, Xu Ji turned a blind eye to Xu Rong's questioning, he reined in his horse and looked at Cao Cao and said, "How is Meng Deshang?" ”

Cao Cao endured the pain of arrow sores and reluctantly smiled: "It's not much at this time, but Wen Lie is probably only able to collect the body for me if he is half a minute late." Xu Ji saw that Cao Cao could still tease, and knew that although Cao Cao was embarrassed, he did not lose his momentum, so he nodded. But Xu Rong is very hot, and anyone who is ignored will not be happy, not to mention that the kid in front of him is still a young man who has never reached the crown, so Xu Rong shouted loudly: "Vertical son, what is the reason why the adults ask you but don't answer?" Hearing this, Xu Ji finally turned his head to look at Xu Rong. Then he smiled contemptuously and said: "I don't know what the etiquette is, but in terms of seniority, I am the brother-in-law of the current emperor, even your master has to be like a dog when he sees me, let alone your eagle dog?" ”

When Xu Rong heard this, a sharp flash suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "I never thought that there would be unexpected joy today." Not only did he capture Cao Cao, who was hated by the prime minister, but he also took a horse that escaped from Luoyang, which was really lucky. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji just smiled indifferently and said, "Who gave you the confidence to win?" Eagle dogs should have the consciousness of being eagle dogs, even if you are the master, I have never lost. Do you think you are stronger than your master? Xu Ji's words were actually a bit round, but Xu Rong understood what he heard. Although he didn't look down on the young man in front of him, being able to escape from Luoyang and still appear here today is enough to show that this person is not simple. Therefore, although Xu Rong was unscrupulous, the fear in his heart had reached a very high level.

At this moment, Xu Rong made a move, he did not rush to deal with Cao Cao, who already had no ability to resist, but waved his hand to signal his corporal to line up against Xu Ji. Of course, this doesn't seem too smart to Xu Ji, but it is undeniable that this is an extremely safe way to deal with it, because he is prepared, and he can respond no matter how he acts, which is the manifestation of Xu Rong's jealousy of Xu Ji. And the reason why Xu Ji dared to appear so flamboyantly was of course not without support, just after Xu Rong finished arranging, there was a neat trampling sound from afar, and the scene that this sound reflected in Xu Rong's sight made him feel cold and afraid, it was a small number of soldiers, but under the bright heavy armor of the newborn morning sun and the sharp blades with cold light in the hands of these soldiers, Xu Rong felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

What's more, their steps are neat, and even these hundreds of people have only one sound at every step, this is almost not an army that should be in the world, Xu Rong is already a little weak-hearted, although he is known as a famous general in Xiliang, but such a strange existence in front of him is still something he has never seen before. But no matter what Xu Rong thought, these heavily armored soldiers approached the battlefield step by step, and at this moment, these soldiers suddenly shouted: "The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!" Win! Win! ”

Xu Rong's face changed, this is not only a feared army, they are also fanatical madmen, and a person who doesn't even want his own life is very dangerous, but what Xu Rong is facing in front of him is not so simple. At this time, when Xu Rong was a little difficult to decide, two more people came from upstream, and Cao Cao was overjoyed to see it, it turned out to be Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan.

When the two of them led dozens of horses to fly, they saw Xu Rong in front of Cao Hong, but Cao Cao leaned to the side and did not move, and even shouted: "Xu Rong did not hurt my master!" ”

Xu Rong looked around and knew that it would be difficult to achieve anything today, so he wanted to retreat, but Xu Ji was not such a person to provoke, once he fell in love with something, no matter what, he had to leave something. So when Xu Rong was about to go downstream, Xu Ji turned around and said to Chen Zhi: "Chase, I don't want to live, you can decide the rest!" ”

I could hear that Xu Ji was really angry. (To be continued......)
