Forced by the strength of the Xiliang army, the Kwantung princes kept silent about the siege, but the small means were endless, during which there were several rebellions in the city of Luoyang, because the scale was too small, it was quickly wiped out by the Xiliang army that heard the news.

Yuan Peng's arrow persuasion letter still has a certain influence, and there is no shortage of ambitious people in Luoyang City, and they also want to introduce the princes into the Guannai and achieve a lot of fame, and the heroes do not ask where they come from.

"Wen You, our army intends to withdraw from Luoyang." Jia Rong plans to have a complete showdown with Li Ru.

Li Ru is definitely not a person who is willing to retire to the mountains and forests, but he cannot become a qualified lord, because of his character.

It seemed that Jia Rong had expected this to happen, Li Ru nodded and said: "Luoyang is a place of right and wrong, you can't stay for a long time, does the general want to go back to Liangzhou?" Li Ru was amazed at Jia Rong's decisiveness in making a decision, Luoyang is a prosperous place, just like Xianyang of the Great Qin Empire, with a supreme position, and it is not something that ordinary people can do easily.

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Wen You, is there something I don't know whether to talk about or not?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Recently, Li Ru has been busy rectifying military affairs, investigating the assassination of Dong Zhuo in many ways, but based on all aspects of intelligence, there is no clue at all, this assassination has been planned for a long time, and the means are skillful, and even after the successful assassination, the traces left behind make it difficult for people to capture useful information.

"I want Wen You to come to Xiliang Army to help me!" Jia Rong stared at Li Ru with burning eyes and said.

Li Ru did not directly refuse, and looked at Jia Rong carefully, as if he wanted to find out something from Jia Rong's gaze.

"Dong Gong has the grace of knowing me, and the one who is a confidant dies, and the ambition is far away"

"The tree is dead, the person is alive, why should Wen You be so brainless, with Wen You's talent, there will be a place in the Xiliang Army, as expected, the world is bound to be in chaos, with the military strength of the Xiliang Army and Wen You's strategy, sweeping the world is just around the corner, and then the Xiliang Army will achieve the cause of the king, and Wen You's name will go down in history." Jia Rong interrupted Li Ru's words and said.

Li Ru's eyes were firmly fixed on Jia Rong, as if attracted by his words, it is undeniable that Jia Rong's words are indeed very attractive, sweeping the world, famous in history, which is not the dream of countless heroes and heroes, Xiliang Army can easily do it, Li Ru has full confidence in his own strategy, as long as he is a virtuous lord, he can have his own position in the army.

"Zhiyuan, why are you doing this?" Dong Zhuo still has a lot of influence in Li Ru's heart.

"Good birds choose trees to perch, loyal ministers choose the lord and do things, not only the monarch chooses the minister, the minister also chooses the king, Wenyou don't rush to refuse, think about it carefully."

"The king chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the king?" Li Ru muttered softly, his eyes became deeper and deeper, all he knew was "the death of a soldier as a confidant", how could there be any minister who still chooses the king, but if you think about it carefully, this is the case.

"Zhiyuan, but please rest assured, our army will fully cooperate with the evacuation of Luoyang."

Looking at the back of Li Ru's departure, the corners of Jia Rong's mouth showed a subtle smile, Fang Cai's words must have set off a storm in Li Ru's heart, the preferential treatment measures of the Xiliang Army towards soldiers and generals do not need to be told by Jia Rong, as the second-in-command in the Dong Army, if you don't even understand these, can you still call it a talent.

Three days later, under the compulsion of the Xiliang army, the hundred officials evacuated from Luoyang, the grain and grass continued for dozens of miles, and the treasures in the palace were swept away by the Xiliang army.

To Jia Rong's surprise, the jade seal in the palace was gone, no matter how he searched for it, he was never found, Jia Rong smiled bitterly, under his influence, many things still haven't changed, but a jade seal, Jia Rong doesn't care so much.

The jade seal was the true destiny in ancient times, symbolizing the Son of Heaven, otherwise Yuan Shu would not be in a hurry to claim the emperor after getting the jade seal, and the jade seal represents the emperor's destiny.

The Xiliang army rummaged through the palace and did not find the jade seal, so Jia Rong had to give up.

Just evacuated from Luoyang, the coalition forces that had been waiting outside the city for a long time moved into Luoyang with the help of the families in the city.

Standing in the majestic palace, Yuan Shao was arrogant, this feeling was probably only Xiang Yu back then could understand, but the situation in the palace was not optimistic, it was a mess, the palace maids and eunuchs were mostly driven away by Jia Rong, and the allies paid a lot of hardships, and what they got was nothing more than an empty palace and a city full of poor people.

"Luoyang has suffered a lot from the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo, and our army should send an edict to calm the people, pursue and suppress the Xiliang Army, and welcome the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang." Cao Cao Yue said.

When Jia Rong left, he just looted the treasures in the palace, these buildings still exist, and the palace maids took away a few, like the palace maids, such consumables, if you don't take them away, try not to, after going to Chang'an, Jia Rong also thought about laying off a group of eunuchs and concubines in the palace, Jia Rong led the Han Emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, and there were a few princes from all walks of life in the Central Plains who bought it, and the consumption of the palace was actually a tax payment from all over the country.

"Meng De, the matter of Anmin will be issued later, but for the matter of chasing down the Xiliang army, I don't know which general is willing to go?" Yuan Shao suddenly felt that it was a wise thing for Jia Rong to take away the hundred officials and the emperor, so that there was no need to be afraid of many things, not only Dong Zhuo hated those great Confucians, but Yuan Shao was also uncomfortable, but this kind of court was a little weird in Yuan Shao's opinion, just like a child playing at home, no one would recognize your legal identity.

The princes in the palace talked a lot, and no one dared to step forward, the Xiliang army was not a soft persimmon, and thousands of cavalry were enough to beat the pursuing coalition army to the ground.

For a long time, no one dared to step forward to answer, Cao Cao said angrily: "Eat the monarch and don't know the worries of the king, the Son of Heaven is in exile, is my generation just cowering in Luoyang to covet comfort, you don't go, I'll take someone myself, hum." ”

Cao Cao's words are not unreasonable, it is said that the Son of Heaven is in exile, and the most important thing for the division of King Qin is to recover the Son of Heaven and make the world stable, but no one dares to answer, on the one hand, it is due to the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army, on the other hand, the selfishness of the princes is making trouble, Luoyang is attacked, but who will give the position that the princes want.

"Alas, Meng De is still like this, Yuan Taishou, you take someone to pick up Meng De." Growing up with Cao Cao since childhood, Yuan Shao still has a certain affection for Cao Cao.

"Now that Luoyang is in the hands of the coalition army, it should be an edict to the world, attack the Xiliang army, and take back the Son of Heaven." Yuan Shao said in a loud voice.

Which of the princes in the palace is not a smooth-tempered person, naturally understands what Yuan Shao means, although Yuan Shao's words are righteous and awe-inspiring, but how much real emotion can there be.

"The alliance leader has made great contributions, and we are willing to be sent by the alliance leader." Bao Xin leaned over and bowed.

The princes in the palace sneered secretly, Luoyang has been captured, what alliance leader is not the alliance master, the Son of Heaven is not there, the world is bound to be in chaos, the princes in the palace will inevitably face each other, how can there be an alliance leader, who just has common interests.

Seeing that only Bao Xin echoed, Yuan Shao's face was a little ugly.

The palace was swept by the Xiliang army, a mess, Sun Jian volunteered to clean the palace, a group of princes did not suspect him, divided troops to guard all parts of Luoyang, among which there were many princes who were not strictly restrained, and the soldiers under his command bullied the people in the city at will.

As early as when Dong Zhuo was in charge, the big families and wealthy merchants in Luoyang City were basically looted, and all these materials were taken away by the Xiliang Army, and even the imperial tomb was swept away.

Let's say that the Xiliang army walked all the way west to Xingyang, and the defenders had already gone out of the city to greet them.

Li Ru said: "Our army retreated in a hurry, and the princes will have chasing soldiers to arrive, so if you ambush the soldiers and horses in the mountain dock outside the city, kill the pursuers by surprise, so that the princes will not look down on our army and talk about the war lightly." ”

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Wen You's words are very much in my heart, what do you think of Wen He?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "In a certain opinion, when the ambush is followed by the ambush, there is no shortage of strategists in the coalition army. ”

What a character Li Ru is, he immediately understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words, and his eyes when he looked at Jia Xu also contained a trace of awe, how could he not have found such a person in the Xiliang Army in the past, for some reason, there was a sense of oppression in his heart, if he took refuge in the Xiliang Army, the person in front of him must be a strong competitor, thinking of this person serving as the left army division in the Xiliang Army, he couldn't help but be relieved.

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Wen Youwen's words are reasonable. ”

"Feng Xian Zilong, you two each take two thousand cavalry to ambush, encounter the princes chasing soldiers, Feng Xian will kill for a while, if the coalition army is defeated, Feng Xian will withdraw his troops and return, Zilong is still in ambush."

"No!" The two clenched their fists and left, ordering their troops and horses to prepare for an ambush.

Zhao Yun is thoughtful and will always constantly figure out Jia Rong's orders, while Lu Bu is an out-and-out war-oriented figure, as long as there is a battle to fight, he can make his blood boil.

The news that Cao Cao will chase Jia Rong is bright in his heart, not only that, but he also knows that only one chasing army is coming, of course, it is better not to point out this kind of thing, otherwise it will be too demonic.

Cao Cao angrily led the departure from Luoyang and led more than 10,000 men and horses to chase after the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army carried a lot of grain and grass, and the marching speed was naturally extremely slow, but fortunately, the counties along the way were the men and horses placed by the Xiliang army, and there were no obstacles along the way.

After Cao Cao led more than 10,000 men and horses to take over Xingyang, he immediately led the soldiers out of the city to pursue, and went to the mountain dock where Lu Bu was ambushed.

Defeated by the Western Liang army, Cao Cao gathered the remnants of his army and headed towards Luoyang.

Yuan Shao learned that Cao Cao's pursuit of the Xiliang army was defeated, and he personally went out of the city to greet him, and he was relieved.

In the palace of Luoyang, Cao Cao looked at the expressions of the princes from all walks of life, and sneered: "It is not a pity that our army is defeated, but it is a pity that the army missed a good opportunity. ”
