Lu Bu listened to the earth-shattering shout, and was a little surprised in his heart, the emperor was a minor doll in his eyes, but at this time he had such a strong ambition, worthy of the blood and blood of Emperor Gao, Lu Bu even had the idea of disarming and surrendering and returning to the imperial court, but it was quickly dispelled, he has now been defined as a rebel, isn't surrender equivalent to death, and even if the emperor surrenders him now, he will not trust him, sooner or later he will definitely die in addition to him, it is better to fight, capture Luoyang, and then hold the Son of Heaven in his own hands.

It's just that the current strength is insufficient, and there is only one way for 50,000 people to take Luoyang, but at present, the effect of the surprise attack has been lost, and there is not even a minimum siege ladder, and the climbing skills of the soldiers are like nonsense, so they can only wait, wait for two days, and wait for Chen Gong to arrive, and then capture Luoyang.

This is obviously not the result that Dong Cheng and Dong Zhao want, Dong Cheng, who is the ruler of the country, is the single-minded Fubao Emperor Liu Xie, he helped the emperor to reorganize the imperial court, all Lu Bu and his party were arrested and imprisoned, in fact, there are few people, Lu Bu's camp is mostly military generals, and most of them are still players, reappoint court officials, Dong Cheng was also crowned as the Great Sima, given the marquis, and was above the three dukes.

Dong Zhaoke didn't think so, the fundamental reason why he did all this was to welcome Cao Cao into the imperial court, and now that Lu Bubing was in the city, he naturally gave him the best reason, and naturally he couldn't tell the emperor about this matter, and the key was to move the big Sima Dong Cheng first.

"Lord Dong, although Lin and Cao are still a family, their trend will not be united for a long time. Although General Cao is weaker now, he is really a hero in the world, and you should be interested in befriending him. Besides, now that there is an opportunity, we should help him contact the court and recommend him; If this can be successful, it will always be a deep affection. ”

Dong Zhao's words moved Dong Cheng's heart. Dong Zhao saw the change in his expression, and hurriedly took out the letter written in the name of Cao Cao in advance and handed it to Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng opened the letter and said: "I have long been famous for the general and admire your righteousness, so I put my heart into my heart and see each other sincerely." Now, General, you will save the Son of Heaven from his hardships. Return to the old capital, assist the Son of Heaven, no one in the present generation can compare with you, how good! Nowadays, the Central Plains is disturbed by a group of murderers, the four seas are not peaceful, and the court of the Son of Heaven is supreme and heavy, and our responsibility lies in maintaining and assisting; It is necessary to rely on the wise men to re-establish the dynastic order, which is not something that can be established by one person alone. The henchman and the limbs depend on each other and support each other. Indispensable. General, you should be the main force in the capital, and I will be the reinforcement from the outside. Now I have military rations, you have an army, and we are able to help each other, live and die together, and share weal and bene. ”

These words really dispelled the doubts in Dong Cheng's heart, and he nodded frequently. said: "General Cao is really a righteous man." ”

Dong Zhao was overjoyed to see this and continued: "My lord. Lü Bu led his troops to besiege the city, only because his soldiers and horses were not all assembled, he would temporarily retreat, once his soldiers and horses were assembled, Luoyang was in danger, and only Lin Sen in Hanoi and Cao Mengde in Wuguan could compete with it. Lin Sen was trapped in the Yellow River, and it was difficult to support, and only General Cao in the direction of Wuguan could support him in a short time, so General Cao was a hero that the imperial court could rely on. ”

Dong Cheng said: "Okay. I will enter the palace to play the Son of Heaven, and I will ask you to go on a trip, and ask Cao Mengde to break through the Wuguan as soon as possible and lead the troops to King Qin. ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order."

Dong Zhao secretly rejoiced in his heart, and could not show it openly, and then followed Dong Cheng into the palace to see the driver, after the two met the emperor, the emperor Liu Xie naturally agreed, and crowned Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong, inheriting his father's title of Marquis of Feiting, Dong Zhao returned home to prepare a little, and quietly went out of Luoyang, with the edict and went straight to Wuguan.

As soon as he walked out of Luoyang fifty miles away, Dong Zhao met the Cao Zi banner, Dong Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Dare to ask if the front is Cao Gong's army?" ”

Cao Hong and Xu Huang led the army to come here for a few days, just about to rest for a while, and then sneak attack Luoyang, but they didn't expect to meet someone here, which made them a little discouraged, Cao Hongle immediately stepped forward and replied: "It will be Cao Hong, the pioneer under Cao Gong's account, who are you?" ”

"It turned out to be General Cao Zilian, great! Below is Dong Zhao, the court's councilor, who came to visit Cao Gong, but I don't know where Cao Gong is. ”

Cao Hong was just about to answer, but Xu Huang stepped forward to stop him and shouted: "My family Cao Cheng led a million male soldiers to Luoyang, Lord Dong, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Could it be that Cao Gong has already captured Wuguan? Don't deceive me, I have something important to see Gong Cao. ”

Cao Hong saw that Dong Zhao did look like he had something important, so he invited Dong Zhao to come closer, and whispered: "My family Cao Gong has indeed captured Wuguan, and is leading the army to Luoyang, and it will be soon, Lord Dong, what is the matter with you, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"It would be nice if that was the case." Dong Zhao continued: "Now that the imperial court power has been taken back by the great Sima Dong Cheng and the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yang has been killed, and Lu Bu has learned that he has led the army back from Hanoi and besieged Luoyang. ”

"Oh, that's the case, that's good, Ben will lead the army to defeat Lu Fengxian."

Dong Zhao was not at ease and asked, "How many soldiers did the general bring?" There are 50,000 Lu Bu's vanguard army, and reinforcements have arrived one after another, if the general can not be the enemy, he can go south of Luoyang to the village, and Luoyang to form an echoing trend. ”

Cao Hong laughed and said, "What is the fear of a mere Lu Fengxian, I would have wanted to fight with him a long time ago." ”

Then he turned to the captain in front of the tent behind him and said, "You lead someone to escort Lord Dong to the lord's office." ”

The vanguard of the Cao army continued to rest and eat, and after eating and drinking, they went to the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, and Cao Hong first sent dozens of sentinels to the eastern suburbs to investigate and investigate.

If you ask Cao Cao, did he really capture Wuguan? The answer is true, after the news of the great change in Luoyang, the people in Lin Sen's camp were very excited, on the other hand, Cao Xing's people who were guarding the Imperial Wuguan were suddenly in chaos, and the army was impetuous, and the army led by a few of them was only 100,000 soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's headquarters, and some of the others were the armies of some guilds, and some were composed of scattered players.

After getting the news, some scattered players either left at the time, or went offline, and in the middle of the night, one of the two guilds also quietly led the army to leave, so the strength of Cao Xing's side was greatly damaged, and there were only more than 200,000 people left, and at this time, the willingness to withdraw from the army was rampant in the army, this is not to say that the commander of the army shouted a few words loudly, and it was enough to kill a few timid people, and another point was that their backup food and grass were broken, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to hold on for a long time.

Cao Cao will definitely not let go of such an excellent opportunity, after dawn, immediately launched a fierce attack on Wuguan, launched an attack in the early morning, before noon, Wuguan was captured, Lu Bu will Wei Xu, Song Xian was killed, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng led the army to flee, more than 200,000 people were sharply reduced to 50,000, fled to Xiaopingjin.

After occupying Wuguan, Cao Cao did not do the slightest stop, the army immediately marched to Luoyang, in front of the forbidden army of 100,000 one step ahead, Cao Cao's army then set off, and carried the equipment, grain and grass, Wuguan is wide and straight from Luoyang, which is conducive to marching, and can be killed under Luoyang City in about three days.

Cao Hong and Xu Huang are both famous generals in history, important ministers in the early stage of Cao Wei, but now if they are still invincible against Lu Bu, not to mention that Lu Bu is still led by elite wolf horses, the two of them are only infantry, and the troops are killed by Lu Buke.

Before the battle, Cao Hong and Xu Huang both worked together and never fought Lu Bu, Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to enter the army, Cao Hong and Xu Huang were defeated and lost, 50,000 forwards died more than 20,000, Cao Hong and Xu Huang hurriedly fled back to the south of Luoyang, set up camp with their backs against a mound, and waited for the rear army to come.

Besides, Dong Zhao finally met Cao Cao, and after reading the edict, the two sat together, and Cao Cao asked, "Now that I am here, what strategy should I take?" ”

Dong Zhao said: "The general rebelled against the soldiers, killed the rioters, entered Beijing to worship the Son of Heaven, and assisted the royal family, which is comparable to the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period." However, the generals below have different hearts and may not be willing to obey you. Now that you are staying here to fight the Son of Heaven, the situation is not in your favor, and you can only transfer the Holy Driver to Xu County. Of course, the imperial court had just returned to the old capital after the exile, and no matter near or far, they were looking forward to settling down one morning. Now the migration of the holy car again does not satisfy everyone. To do something extraordinary, you have to have measures that go beyond the norm, and I hope that the general will plan how to do it with more advantages and fewer disadvantages. ”

Cao Cao said: "This is exactly what I intended. But the defenders of Luoyang are 100,000 people, and the commander is Lord Dong Cheng, the national abbot, I heard that his team is excellent, can he not become a hidden danger to me? ”

Dong Zhao said: "Lü Feng's first soldiers besieged Luoyang, and Dong Cheng lacked protection and assistance, so he would return to Shun alone. The affairs of Zhendong and Feiting were all determined by Dong Cheng, and I heard that he wrote a letter ordering his soldiers to restrain him, which is enough to see his integrity. Messengers should be sent from time to time to thank him for his kindness, so as to calm his mind. It was said that 'Lu Bu is powerful, the capital lacks grain and grass, and it is difficult to defend it for a long time, so I want to temporarily move the holy car to Luyang, which is closer to Xu County, and it is easier to transport it in disguise, so there will be no worries about a serious shortage of food, and there will be sufficient Yanzhou troops to protect it'. Dong Chengren lacks thought, he will definitely not doubt us, and when the envoys of the two sides have exchanges, it will be enough to determine the strategy. Where can Dong Cheng become a hidden danger! ”

Cao Cao said, "Okay. At this point, Dong Zhao became his advisor. The army continued to march rapidly towards Luoyang, and Lu Bu was mobilizing troops, and he also had to race against time to rush to Luoyang as soon as possible, defeat Lu Bu, and prepare for the relocation of the Son of Heaven......
