The Kwantung and Kwanti camps fought in the area of Hangu Pass, and in order to divide Luoyang's property and compete for the Son of Heaven, tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 100,000 people were killed and wounded.

Dong Zhuo has been driven to Hangu Pass by Lian Po and Shi Wansui, two fierce generals, and was welcomed into the pass by Niu Fu, who was stationed in Hangu Pass in advance, and Li Wei, who led the Flying Bear Army to withdraw.

Although Hangu Pass is not as good as Tiger Pass, it is also a steep and majestic pass, and it cannot be taken without ten times the number of troops.

Dong Zhuo took the Son of Heaven to cross Hangu Pass and go to Chang'an. The other lords of Dong Zhuo's camp also entered the customs one after another, and each returned to his own territory.

Although they lost part of the population, they still robbed millions of people from Luoyang City, which they used to fill Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places, as well as obtain a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

Seeing that they could not capture Dong Zhuo alive and save the Son of Heaven, many princes camped under Hangu Pass and peeped into Chang'an.

Luoyang was burned down, Chang'an has not been burned down, Chang'an is now the largest city in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Chang'an as a base, plus some of the population migrated from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's forces can also develop very well in Chang'an.

The Kwantung princes suffered a lot of losses in this series of battles in pursuit of Dong Zhuo, but they were not without gains, first of all, the gains of military merit, and secondly, gold and silver treasures.

Dong Zhuo's camp robbed millions of people, and the Kwantung princes captured a number of war horses and plundered the residents of Luoyang.

Rise and fall, and in the end, the people who die the most.

After such a great war, the population of the Luoyang Basin was drastically reduced, and it took a lot of time and energy to rebuild Luoyang City, not many princes were willing to occupy this place, and few people considered using the scorched Luoyang as a base to expand their power. Without people, no matter how rich the land is, it will not help.

When Chutian's infantry came to the vicinity of Hangu Pass, the battle to pursue Dong Zhuo was over. After all, the speed of the archers was still too slow.

Chu Tian was helpless about this, he couldn't equip every soldier with a war horse, so the entire Langya Kingdom would need 5-60,000 war horses.

"The Son of Heaven was taken away by Dong Zhuo after all."

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is still coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes, and the other lords are hopeless. Dong Zhuo still has a large number of soldiers and horses that have not been used, taking Chang'an as the city, and then trying his best to expand around, entering the Central Plains, retreating can dominate one side, and become the emperor of the soil. ”

"I think that if Dong Zhuo wants to try his best to expand in Guanzhong, the lords of Guanzhong and Liangzhou may join forces to stop Dong Zhuo's expansion. Their support for Dong Zhuo does not mean that they are willing to be Dong Zhuo's dog. They have no ambitions, and they will not be so keen to come to Luoyang to rob the population. ”

"Are we going to conquer Hangu Pass, march to Tongguan, and then capture Chang'an?"

"Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the fact that Tongguan is far away from Chenliu County and close to Chang'an, our supply line is too long, which is not conducive to long-term combat."

The Inhuman princes were considering whether to continue to hunt down Dong Zhuo, but the final conclusion was to give up this absurd idea.

They came to crusade against Dong Zhuo, in addition to obtaining military exploits and rewards, they also had a very important purpose - to curb the rapid development momentum of Dong Zhuo's forces and prevent Dong Zhuo from sweeping Heluo and winning the world.

This is the same reason as Chu Tian, Cao Cao and others to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army cannot be allowed to become bigger, but should be strangled before it becomes bigger.

Dong Zhuo's forces have lost their troops, and the lords of Guanzhong and Liangzhou are ready to move, and it is difficult for Dong Zhuo to become the number one prince in the Eastern Han Dynasty again.

When the Kwantung princes achieved their goals, they naturally would not consider continuing to attack Dong Zhuo.

"No, we should make a big show and make a gesture of marching to Chang'an!"

Unexpectedly, Chu Tian did not retreat but advanced, and proposed to continue to pursue and kill Dong Zhuo at the meeting of the Inhuman princes.

Zhao Long, the lord of Wei County in Jizhou, said: "Chu Zimou, we have achieved our goal, there is no need to continue to march. Do you know how many troops it takes to attack Hangu Pass, Tongguan Pass, and Chang'an? The army of 100,000 dead and wounded could not take Chang'an. It is also becoming more and more difficult to replenish food. We, the players, know that it is impractical to support the Han family, and everyone is just competing for the Son of Heaven. It is not worth exchanging an army of 100,000 for a nominal Son of Heaven. ”

Chu Tian groaned: "I just proposed to march into Chang'an with great fanfare, but I didn't really attack Chang'an." ”

"You mean that we put pressure on Dong Zhuo to make him take the initiative to sue for peace with us?"

"Exactly."

Chu Tian not only wanted to beat Dong Zhuo into fear, but also continued to put pressure on Dong Zhuo to canonize his group of princes in the name of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"You want to ask Dong Zhuo for the location of Xuzhou Mu?!"

The lord of Lujiang County, Tong Que, couldn't help but move.

Those who are qualified to sit in the same tent as Chu Tian and discuss are a group of lords who have survived until now, and their IQ is very high, and they can easily guess Chu Tian's intentions.

"If Dong Zhuo is willing to give me the position of Xuzhou Mu, it is naturally the best, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it. I will eliminate Tao Qian and then go to Xuzhou Mu. At that time, Dong Zhuo still does not agree, I will levy the Xuzhou army, call on all the princes, and attack Chang'an. ”

Hearing Chu Tian's threat to Dong Zhuo, the lords present muttered that Dong Zhuo was too unlucky to meet a lord who specifically targeted him.

They didn't know that Chu Tian had also saved Dong Zhuo in a sense, but Dong Zhuo canonized Tao Qian as the pastor of Xuzhou, so that Chu Tian would not come anywhere.

Xuzhou Mu is the position he covets.

In the era of separation, each prince was either a taishou or a state pastor, and the taishou and the state pastor merged with each other, the states were unified, and finally there was a crusade between the states.

The Warring States period in Dongying District is also somewhat similar, first village battles, and then joint battles of thousands and 10,000 people.

Chutian wanted to replace Tao Qian as the rightful Xuzhou pastor.

The title of Xuzhou Mu sounds much more majestic than Langyaxiang.

"Dong Zhuo shouldn't easily give the position of the state pastor of the alien lord, after all, the state pastor is already a feudal official, holding the soldiers and horses of a state."

"If Dong Zhuo really gives the position of state pastor, how can I have to have a state pastor to retire."

"It seems that it is not bad to be a Yangzhou pastor."

A group of alien princes were instigated by Chu Tian, and they all stirred up Dong Zhuo's thoughts.

Dong Zhuo controls the imperial court and has the Son of Heaven, and the official positions he appoints are official positions. This is the effect brought by the Son of Heaven. Having the Son of Heaven can also attract a group of old stubborn generals loyal to the Han family to go to Chang'an.

They can put pressure on Dong Zhuo through the alliance and ask Dong Zhuo to give them an official position, and the Inhuman Lord will also have a chance to become a state pastor!

"We sent someone to contact Dong Zhuo and explain the terms of negotiation, as long as he can come up with an official position that meets our expectations, then we will withdraw our troops and end the crusade against Dong Zhuo. If not, capture Hangu Pass and shock Chang'an. ”

The various Yiren princes discussed and decided to ask Dong Zhuo for the positions of the state pastor and general, and sent several envoys to Chang'an to bargain with Dong Zhuo.

They have a feud with Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo will definitely make certain compromises in order to resolve the current crisis.

Don't push Dong Zhuo into a corner.

In the final analysis, Dong Zhuo still lacks the ambition to chase the Central Plains, he is in a corner of peace, he stays in Chang'an, and he will soon lose his ambition in the Jiuchi Meat Forest, coupled with the lords of Central and Liangzhou coveting Dong Zhuo's territory, Dong Zhuo's forces are no longer afraid.

"Not only that, but we also have to list our subordinates as generals!"

Chu Tian even opened his mouth, which made the princes who were Chu Tian's allies tremble.

Chu Tian was not satisfied with being the pastor of Xuzhou, and even his subordinates had to be listed as generals......

Before the troubled times, Zhonglang generals and captains were already very high official positions, but with Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo coming in chaos, now generals and captains are everywhere, and if they don't have the title of a general, they seem to be embarrassed to go out.

Chu Tian didn't care about fighting for the title of general for his subordinates. But in "Lord", the official general position has a slight bonus to the army. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

The subordinates on the upper table are generals, and they can also increase the loyalty of their subordinates.

After many princes figured it out, since they had already cheekily asked Dong Zhuo to make himself the state pastor, what if Dong Zhuo made a group of generals under his command by the way?

It's a bit too much to ask, but it's just a bargaining chip. Even if Dong Zhuo did not fully meet the expectations of the Kwantung princes, it was not necessarily unacceptable.

Chu Tian made a list for his subordinates, and the generals were Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Zhou Yafu, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan......

Even Sun Kang, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other obscure Taishan thieves, Chu Tian also asked them to be named generals or captains.

By the way, I have to add ordinary heroes such as Liu Sandao and Sun Liuwan......

Chu Tian cheekily asked Dong Zhuo for an official.

As the saying goes, if one person gains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, it is not a problem to have a group of generals and captains under the command of a state herd, right? Otherwise, how to support thousands of good generals and bring millions of armor in the future?

"How come there are dozens of ...... in your list?"

The other Inhuman princes found that Chu Tian's surface was densely packed, and out of caution, they only had a few people on the table as generals and captains.

They then followed suit and added the same heroes.

In this way, this group of princes presented the table to Hangu Pass, and as long as Dong Zhuo agreed to the conditions, they could withdraw their troops.

Niu Fu and Li Wei, who were guarding Hangu Pass, were willing to withdraw when they learned that the Yiren princes in the eastern part of the country were willing to withdraw their troops if they wanted to be crowned, so they were stunned for a moment, and then ordered the Xiliang cavalry to hurry up for 800 miles and send them to Chang'an.

In Li Dao's view, if it can be canonized in name only, it is quite cost-effective to make this group of fierce and vicious Kwantung princes withdraw their troops.

Li Dao was already extremely scared of Chu Tian's group of crazy people.

Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, who guarded the Tiger Prison with him, are nowhere to be found, and now he is alive alone!

Therefore, Li Dao believed that Chutian was a disaster star. If it weren't for the fact that his Flying Bear Army fled extremely quickly, he might have disappeared like Xu Rong and Hua Xiong.

A madman is already terrible, but there is a group of madmen under Hangu Pass.

Neither Lü Bu's Bingzhou Legion nor Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Legion could stop the onslaught of a group of madmen.

"Dong Zhuo shouldn't completely agree, and he doesn't want a bunch of powerful state pastors to appear, and he will make a fuss about his official position......"

After Chu Tianren presented the title to the Emperor of Han, he knew that Dong Zhuo would not easily give him the official position of Xuzhou Mu, Xuzhou Mu in his early twenties, which was simply incredible.

However, Dong Zhuo did not give him Xuzhou Mu, and he would definitely use other official positions to satisfy Chutian's appetite.

Even if Dong Zhuo didn't give him the official position of Xuzhou Mu, he could eliminate Tao Qian, and Dong Zhuo would have to canonize him as Xuzhou Mu, because at that time he had already confirmed the position of Xuzhou Mu.

After Chu Tian and the Yiren princes discussed the matter of asking Dong Zhuo for an official position, he summoned the cavalry generals who pursued Dong Zhuo, Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan, Li Guang and others, each recorded their battle exploits, and returned to Langya to receive another reward.

If Dong Zhuo approves it, it can actually be regarded as a reward given to his generals by Chu Tian, because the official position is what Chu Tian wants.

The four cavalry generals captured Huaxiong and a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry for Chutian, and made great achievements. This time they came to chase and kill Dong Zhuo, and they seemed to have made another gain.

Xue Rengui reported: "The last general captured 421 Xiliang cavalry and 792 war horses. ”

Zhao Yun said: "I captured 213 Xiliang cavalry and 412 war horses. ”

Chu Tian nodded approvingly.

Zhao Yun's battle results were less than Xue Rengui's, and the reason was very simple, because Zhao Yun was not Chu Tian's subordinates, and his allocated troops were less than Xue Rengui's.

Chutian looked at Hua Mulan, and Hua Mulan came out and replied: "My subordinates captured 125 Xiliang cavalry and 213 war horses. ”

When Chu Tian heard this result, he was a little dissatisfied.

There are not many cavalry led by Mulan this time, and there is only such a small amount of trophies.

It stands to reason that Mulan shouldn't be lazy.

Hua Mulan said again: "However, the last general rescued a group of officials from the imperial court. Because of the competition with the Xiliang soldiers for hundreds of officials, there was no spare strength to capture the war horses. ”

Hundred officials?!

Chu Tian was slightly surprised, the Son of Heaven did not get it, and falling into the hands of Dong Zhuo was not a profit or a loss for Chu Tian. The person who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes was Dong Zhuo, not a strong Inhuman prince, and it was still within the scope of Chu Tian's acceptance.

The credit for rescuing hundreds of officials is only less than the credit for rescuing the Son of Heaven, and it can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Chu Tian glanced at his battle exploits. In the battles of Xingyang, Tiger Prison, and the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, there were a total of 70,000 military exploits, of which 10,000 military exploits came from some of the officials who were rescued.

"Bring them to me."

If you can't get the Son of Heaven and get a group of officials, you can enhance the influence of the territory, after all, many courtiers are well-known figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The fourth generation and third duke of Yuan Shao's family brought great influence to Yuan Shao.

Soon, Hua Mulan used a Tang knife to invite a group of rescued officials to enter Chutian's camp, the number of people was about twenty or thirty, and many people seemed to be frightened by the war.

One of them had gray hair, but he had a calm and fearless breath, unlike most civil officials.

"Lord Lu."

Chu Tian was deeply surprised by this person's appearance here.

This is none other than his former boss on the battlefield in Guangzong County, Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhong Lang, Liu Bei's teacher.

He turned out to be among the hundreds of officials who were captured by Dong Zhuo.

Lu Zhi was also a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Tian: "I didn't expect to see each other again." ”
