A few days later, Lin Sen led the soldiers to make many detours and finally returned to Luoyang City, and found that Yuan Shao and other princes were stationed in Luoyang City, continuing to set up banquets and drinking, among which there were also Chen Dao, Ermao, Li Damu and Zhang Leigong also returned, he often checked his merit value, looking at the rapid growth of his merits, he knew that Li Damu and Zhang Leigong had killed the enemy army, but they didn't know how the loss was?

Yuan Shao saw Lin Sen returning with his army, so he came out to greet him: "Why did General Lin Sen come back, could it be that Hangu Pass was broken by Dong thieves?" ”

Although he knew that Yuan Shao and the others would definitely not attack Dong Zhuo to help him, but now that he saw that Yuan Shao and other princes had really done so, and now they were feasting in the camp, they were still very angry, and said expressionlessly: "Dong Zhuo personally led millions of soldiers and horses to attack Hangu Pass, and I was defeated, so I withdrew from the pass and came back after a long detour. ”

Yuan Shao was still pretending to sigh, and shouted: "It's a pity! Pity! Although General Lin is defeated, he is still glorious! General Lin, please enter the camp, and we will celebrate General Lin's achievements! Lin Sen led the army into the camp with Yuan Shao and others, and arranged for soldiers to be stationed in Chen Dao's camp, Lin Sen came to the big tent, and found that there were still a lot of people, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were also there, but they didn't see Liu Bei's three brothers, so they must have left first.

Seeing Lin Sen enter the big tent, all the princes got up to greet Lin Sen, and Lin Sen returned the salute one by one and came to Sun Jian's side and said, "I didn't expect General Wentai to be there!" ”

Sun Jian replied: "Alas! After I defeated Dong Zhuo's army, I entered through the Xuanyang Gate in Luoyang, and completely repelled the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan after a fierce battle. ”

"I see! Alas! If Yuan Benchu had been able to lead the army to rush to my aid earlier, I would not have been defeated, Dong Zhuo would not have occupied Hangu Pass, opened the way to move west, and the Son of Heaven would not have been abducted to Chang'an, what a pity, even more hateful! After speaking, he drank sullen wine with Sun Jian.

While the princes were feasting, Cao Cao also returned, looking decadent and his armor damaged. Yuan Shao smiled when he saw Cao Cao returning: "Meng Deban has returned to the court, how is the situation?" Let's go home in a big victory, have you saved the holy car? ”

At this time, these words were like a needle prick, and Cao Cao saw that the princes were still drinking and having fun, and he was angry for a moment: "I didn't win, and I returned with a big defeat, I led the troops to chase and kill Dong Zhuo in the starry night, but Dong Zhuo had already captured Hangu Pass, and more than half of the cavalry casualties were killed. ”

Yuan Shao pretended to be encouraged: "Brother Meng De pursued and killed alone, bravely crowned the three armies, although he was defeated, he was still glorious." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Really? I also have a heart-wrenching sentence to say at this time, don't conspire with each other! With that, he dropped his glass.

Yuan Shu said bitterly on the side: "What does Meng De mean by this? Chasing and killing Dong Zhuo is your own meaning, why are you chasing and killing Dong Zhuo, it is because you are greedy for merit and go deep alone, you want to rob the Son of Heaven alone, but I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to capture Hangu Pass, so he returned defeated. ”

Cao Cao turned around and shouted: "That's right, I'm a little rash, but Dong Zhuo will become an arrogant soldier after defeating me, at this time, if the princes' army can gallop to the aid of the starry night to attack Hangu Pass with me, I will definitely be able to kill Dong Zhuo and rob the holy car, but unfortunately I have been unable to forge ahead after the defeat, but what are you all doing, drinking and having fun every day." After this defeat, I, Cao, have no power to suppress the thief, so I just say goodbye. ”

Yuan Shao got up and wanted to stay, Cao Cao didn't look back and walked out of the big tent directly, Lin Sen saw that Cao Cao was gone, so he also got up to salute the princes and walked out of the big tent, and heard Cao Cao reciting poems.

"There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers.

In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang.

The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly.

Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs fight each other.

The title of Huainan brother is engraved in the north.

The armor is full of lice, and all surnames die.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. ”

"Good poetry, good poetry!" A few steps to catch up with Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De wait for me." ”

Cao Cao stopped: "What did General Lin call me for?" ”

"Alas! I feel the same way as Brother Meng De below, Yuan Ben's original name was to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but it was really for his own personal gain, but it's a pity, I just don't know where Brother Meng De wants to go from now on? ”

"What General Lin said is extremely true, but unfortunately now the Han family is declining, the traitors steal their lives, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and I have just been defeated, and now I am unable to get rid of the thieves and help the Han, I want to recruit troops in the Huainan area, don't try to save the country."

Lin Sen knew that princes like Cao Cao could not be subdued by themselves, so he said, "Alas! In this case, I will lead the army back to Jizhou, wait for the opportunity, and then think of a good strategy to get rid of the thieves and help the Han. In the future, if Brother Meng De needs to go down, please also inform me that it is necessary to go to the soup and fight the fire in the next place, and if Meng De is not stationed in a place, he can also come to me, and I should entrust Brother Meng De to be the county guard. ”

Cao Cao thanked him with a salute, and then the two went back to the camp separately. Although he couldn't subdue Cao Cao, Lin Sen also wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Cao Cao as much as possible, but he didn't know if this historical hero would maintain this friendly relationship.

Lin Sen returned to his camp and learned about the situation of the war, Ermao, Li Damu and Zhang Leigong can be said to be very smooth, the enemy army in Hedong County has no opponent at all, they swept all the way, and destroyed the stations of many guilds in a row, and destroyed countless stations of scattered players, and also captured a lot of ordnance and materials.

Before Lin Sen left, he told them not to hurt the people of Pingming, and they also complied, did not kill innocent people, nor did they bring them all back, but just let them go in the same place, which Ermao grasped very well.

"Alas! Who is this general? ”

Lin Sen saw that there was one of the people present that he didn't know and hadn't seen before, and he felt strange, so he asked!

Chen Zhi said: "Tell the lord, this general is Xu Rong, the general under the command of Dong Zhuo, who was sent by Dong Zhuo to lead the army to stop our march, and finally missed and was captured by the last general, and has now decided to serve the lord!" ”

Xu Rong, whatever you want, how can the characters who can defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian be mediocre, they must have the strength to lead an army to march and fight!

"Good! Can you abandon the darkness and turn to the light at this time, and you can be regarded as a righteous person, I now worship you as a righteous general, and it is good to obey orders and serve under my account? ”

Xu Rong immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you for your lordship's past suspicions, and you will not be able to repay your lord's grace in the end!" ”

After continuing to listen to the battle situation of several people, I learned the reason why Liu Bei's three brothers left, most of the guilds and players who took refuge in him did not say goodbye and left him, and those who did not leave also lost a lot when attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, and his strength plummeted, and he had no right to speak among the allies.

Originally, all the princes looked down on his status and status, and now there is no one to bird him, and he has captured the Tiger Prison Pass, he advocates a rapid march to Luoyang, the Tiger Prison Pass, and Dong Zhuo decisive battle, but no one listens to him, the princes all know that Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital to Chang'an, no one is willing to go up to fight with Dong Zhuo at this time, and lose soldiers and horses in vain, Yuan Shao is the same, the original oath of revenge has slowly dissipated with the advancement of time!

Liu Bei has the false title of deputy alliance leader, but in fact, he is soft-spoken, and he does not have the strength to fight with Dong Zhuo, so he simply doesn't care about anything, and takes his headquarters soldiers and horses and those players who really rely on him to turn back to Youzhou, and once again defect to his eldest brother Gongsun Zhan's account, and he has no courage to fight with Dong Zhuo!
