When the princes in the palace heard this, they restrained Cao Cao's funny smile, looked at Cao Cao's gaze with a trace of awe, and said in a few words.

However, this also determined that the princes would not pursue the Xiliang army, Cao Cao could think of this, how could Jia Rong, who was better than a thief, not think of this.

Seeing that the princes in the palace were talking a lot, but no one dared to speak out in response, Cao Cao sighed and left the palace, and after bidding farewell to Yuan Shao, he led the troops back.

Yuan Shao wanted to stop Cao Cao, but was persuaded by Yuan Peng on the side, no one will be in a good mood after defeat, if he tries to persuade at this time, I am afraid that Cao Cao's anger will be vented on Yuan Shao's head, after all, Yuan Shao is the nominal leader of the coalition.

After Cao Cao returned to the camp, he sighed: "There are really many talents in the Xiliang army, there is a Dong Zhuo who has fallen, and another Jia Rong has stood up, as expected, the Xiliang army must be the biggest enemy of all the princes, but this group of people is still in the palace to deceive me, ridiculous, ridiculous." ”

Cao Ren said: "Why should the lord have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige, forgive Jia Rong is just a small martial artist, and he has won a few battles with good luck." ”

Cao Cao scolded: "Don't be rude, don't fight with Jia Rong, you will never understand how terrible he is." Cao Cao thought of assassinating Dong Zhuo at the beginning, but somehow Jia Rong learned about it, and then let himself go, so he must have offended Dong Zhuo, even if he was able to defeat the Xiliang Army this time, I am afraid that Cao Cao will also let Jia Rong go, failure is expected, and if he wins, he will be regarded as returning Jia Rong's favor that day.

Cao Cao suddenly found that Jia Rong, who made a great rebellion in Caifukou, was gradually moving away, and the disobedience in the mouth of Confucianism was not the concept that Jia Rong had always pursued, the management of Jincheng, and the open-mindedness to treat foreign races, which can make the world look sideways.

"Let all the generals prepare for the retreat!" Cao Cao gathered his thoughts and sighed.

Cao Ren clenched his fists and promised, although he did not understand that Weishenme would have to withdraw after the great victory of the coalition forces.

Jia Rong led the Xiliang Army all the way to the west slowly, and when they reached the Hangu Pass, Xu Shu led a group of generals to greet them.

After condolences to Xu Shu and the generals guarding the pass, leaving Li Shun and 3,000 infantry to guard Hangu Pass, Jia Rong and his party went to Chang'an.

Looking at the devastated Chang'an Palace, Jia Rong couldn't help but sigh that the fire of the Baimei Army had destroyed the efforts of many generations of emperors.

The Western Liang Army will not make a big move in a short period of time, and before the Kwantung princes have no civil strife, they will not be aware of their ambitions, but Chang'an, including the three auxiliary lands, will definitely be in their hands, and the Han Emperor is in Chang'an, which means that the capital division of the Han Dynasty has become Chang'an, not Luoyang, and the princes occupy nothing more than an old city abandoned by the imperial family.

The people of Chang'an don't have too many words for the Xiliang Army who live in them, in the troubled times, the people have long been accustomed to this, as long as they can see the sun tomorrow, they can't be hungry, it is the biggest dream of the people of Pingtou.

"Report, alliance leader, Lord Yanzhou Mu Liu and Lord Qiao have fought." A soldier appeared in front of Yuan Shao covered in blood.

Yuan Shao was shocked, and ordered a thousand soldiers and horses to go to reconcile, as the leader of the coalition army, he naturally did not want his men and horses to be awkward, and most of his prestige came from the strong momentum of the coalition army.

By the time Yuan Shao led his army to the Qiaomao army, the battle was nearing its end, and there was a mess everywhere, black smoke was still emitting in a few places, many camp tents were set on fire, and groups of soldiers were carrying grain and grass.

"Alliance leader, Lord Qiaoqiao has been killed."

Yuan Shao's face turned pale, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai is an out-and-out Han clan relative, with great prestige in the court and the opposition, with about 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there are only thousands of people under Qiao Mao.

With such a no-haode beginning, I am afraid that the coalition forces will be in chaos in a short period of time, and the word "collapse without a fight" suddenly appeared in Yuan Shao's mind.

Watching the teams of soldiers escorting grain and grass supplies to Liu Daijun, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be furious: "Order the princes to go to the palace to discuss matters. ”

To put it bluntly, the palace is one empty house after another, choosing to discuss military affairs here can make Yuan Shao have a feeling of floating, the entire court is owned by me, but the gold-inlaid throne at the top, Yuan Shao did not dare to touch it.

"Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai attacked Qiao Taishou's army for no reason, and now Qiao Mao is dead, I hope Lord Liu can explain it to everyone present." Yuan Shao stood in the position of the general and looked at all the princes and asked.

"Qiao Mao is dead?" Many princes heard the news and talked about it, looking at the princes who were not in harmony in the past, and their eyes were dissatisfied with the look of vigilance, in broad daylight, Liu Dai dared to do this, what else did he dare not do behind him, and looked back at the two or three generals in the army who were alone behind him, and suddenly felt his hairs stand up.

Liu Dai glanced at the princes in the palace, and snorted coldly: "Our army has little food, so I borrowed food from the Qiao Mao army, and Qiao Mao not only did not borrow it, but also insulted each other, Dai was angry, and waved the army to kill the Mao army." "In terms of identity, he is a relative of the Han family, and whoever dares to touch the princes in front of him can't act rashly, even Yuan Shao.

"Borrowing food from Qiao Maojun? Insulting? These are just Liu Dai's excuses, anyway, Qiao Mao will not stand up and argue.

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Dai with gloomy eyes, and never ordered punishment, according to the previous agreement, he attacked his allies without authorization, but he had to suffer the most severe punishment, but Yuan Shao did not dare to order, Liu Dai is a relative of the Han family, and he has a certain prestige among the princes.

After returning to the barracks, the princes from all walks of life have strengthened their vigilance, and the soldiers patrolling the army come and go, and when the princes travel, they are often guarded by hundreds of soldiers.

The tension in Luoyang unfolded because Liu Dai led the army to attack Qiaomao, and the princes from all walks of life, who looked down on each other on weekdays, began to have some small frictions, since Yuan Shao was willing to be a deaf and dumb man, many princes even connived at his subordinates to loot the people and merchants in the city.

With the beginning of not haode, a small number of princes began to ask Yuan Shao to resign and leave, there is no emperor in Luoyang City, there is no difference between an empty city, Yuan Shao has rewarded all the princes, but after all, it is not the emperor himself who appointed the edict, and lacks authority.

"Alliance leader, recently there has been news of a rebel rebellion in Changsha, and I want to lead the army back." Sun Jian lowered his posture very low.

Since the loss of troops outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Sun Jian's influence in the princes' army has become even lower, and this Jiangdong tiger has gradually faded out of the vision of the princes.

"I already know about it." Yuan Shao replied without thinking, such a thing is not uncommon in the coalition army.

"Sun Jian, you have bad intentions, and you actually secretly hide the jade seal of the country." Yuan Shu accused in front of the princes.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, the jade seal has an incomparably significant significance, of course, the jade seal is in the hands of the emperor on weekdays, it is rumored that those who get the jade seal can get the world, become the true son of heaven, when the princes get the jade seal in the hands of Sun Jian, the shock to the princes can be imagined.

"Yuan Highway is going to talk nonsense, when the Xiliang army retreats, it will be cleaned inside and outside the palace, and the jade seal will naturally be taken away by the saint, how can it stay in the palace." Sun Jian argued with reason, at such a time, no matter whether the jade seal of the country was on his body or not, Sun Jian would not admit it.

The feud between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian is not a secret in the coalition army, and many princes think that Yuan Shu is taking the opportunity to suppress Sun Jian, and they don't really take the matter of the jade seal to heart.

Although Sun Jian lost his troops in the first battle of the Tiger Prison, the background is still there, and there are still princes who are willing to make friends.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "You found the jade seal in the well in the palace, and there are a lot of soldiers beside you." ”

Sun Jian's face changed slightly, and he retorted: "In front of the generals, Sun Jian swears that if I really hide the jade seal, I will die with an arrow piercing my heart." ”

The ancients made a heavy oath, and Sun Jian said it very solemnly, except for Yuan Shu, all the princes thought that Yuan Shu was deliberately making things difficult for Sun Jian, and they dissuaded him one after another.

Yuan Shu pointed at Sun Jian's nose and scolded the rebels.

Sun Jian snorted coldly, left the palace, ordered his soldiers and horses, and headed for Changsha overnight.

After leaving Luoyang, Sun Jian secretly said that he was lucky.

After Sun Jian, Liu Dai and others, Luoyang was cleaned up from the initial liveliness, Yuan Shao, the nominal alliance leader, felt that it was meaningless to stay in Luoyang, and led the soldiers to leave Luoyang and go to Hanoi County, really, Yuan Shao, the alliance leader, was the most pitiful, when the army was raised, it was just Bohai Taishou, the official position was low, after the princes were separated, there was not even a place to go, Bohai was just a small county, how could it feed tens of thousands of troops.

Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is a serious 800 Han clan relatives, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao was busy rectifying Jingzhou, so he did not participate, after getting the letter from Yuan Shu, he immediately ordered Kuai Yue Cai Mao to lead 10,000 troops to intercept Sun Jian, the jade seal is related to the fate of the Han Dynasty, not to be underestimated.

Sun Jian patted his horse and walked out of the battle formation, pointed at Kuai Yue with his horse whip and asked, "Why did Kuai Yidu lead the soldiers and horses to block the way of our army?" ”

Kuai Yue sneered: "As a Han Chen, you actually hide the jade seal, this is a heinous crime, you should hand over the jade seal, and let Er wait for a way out." "Sun Jian is quite famous in the Jingzhou area, Kuai Yue doesn't want to completely offend this tiger because of a false news.

Sun Jian said angrily: "Shaft, don't talk nonsense. ”

Sun Jian's army flashed a general, slapped the horse and killed, and the tiger and tiger who danced with a spear were Huang Gai.

Cai Mao came with a spear, and the two of them both used spears, and the guns and shadows were staggered in the battle, which was dazzling.

Huang Gai saw the opportunity and stabbed Cai Mao in the arm with a shot, the spear in Cai Mao's hand fell to the ground, and he rushed back to the formation, but Huang Gai did not pursue, and Le Ma stood in place.

No matter how brave Sun Jian is, he only owns one county, while Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, with 100,000 soldiers with armor, ruling thousands of miles of fertile fields, and strengthening the army and the people.

Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to kill for a while, opened the gap in the Kuai Yue army, and led the troops away.

I only heard the sound of drums behind the valley, and it turned out that Liu Biao led the army to arrive, and surrounded Sun Jian in the middle with Kuai Yuecheng.

Sun Jian pointed a knife at Liu Biao and said: "You and I are neighboring counties, why should you believe a letter from Yuan Shu'er, if you let me go today, he will have a good reward in the future." ”

Liu Biao angrily reprimanded: "The jade seal is related to the fate of the Han Dynasty, if you hand over the jade seal, I will definitely spare your life, if not, don't blame our army for being ruthless." "It's about Yuxi, Liu Biao doesn't dare to slack off, a big thing like this would rather kill a mistake than let it go.
