Chapter 579: One Step Away
"Stop—whose army are you? What is the intention? Suddenly, a large group of men and horses galloped out from Luoyang City, this military horse surrounded Liu Xie, Yang Feng and others, looking at the bright swords and guns Liu Xie trembled, at this time Yang Feng could only stand up and question the incoming army, because he did not see the familiar Lu character banner. However, looking at this murderous soldier and horse, some of them looked like Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Yang Feng also raised his throat when he asked.
"Dare to ask if the Son of Heaven can be in the army? The last general is Xiahou Yuan under General Cao of Yanzhou, waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven here! "The leader is Xiahou Yuan, accompanied by Cao Cao's newly formed elite tiger and leopard horse, the commander of the tiger and leopard ride is planned to be Cao Hong, but the Son of Heaven must be safe, Cao Hong's temper is a little short-tempered, and the hundred officials who follow the Son of Heaven on the side look down on them very much even if they are poor and sour, in order to avoid unpleasantness, Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan to wait halfway. Why didn't Cao Cao show up? There are a lot of wealthy businessmen in Luoyang City, Cao Cao took this opportunity to loot Lu Bu's belongings, and what disappointed him was that when the city was broken, Zang Ba escorted Diao Chan away, which was a very regrettable thing for Cao Cao, and they all said that Diao Chan was as beautiful as a fairy, and Cao Cao was also very sorry.
"Yanzhou Cao Mengde's people? Isn't Luoyang City garrisoned by Wen Hou Lu Bu? Where is Lu Fengxian? No matter what slander the world has against Lu Bu, in the hearts of these courtiers, Lu Bu is a hero who endured humiliation and abandoned the secret surrender to kill Dong Zhuo, and as for Cao Cao, who was just a eunuch, he was somewhat disgusted in his heart.
"General Lu is drinking with General Yuan Shao in Hedong County at the moment, and he doesn't have time to come and pick him up! My lord learned that the Son of Heaven came to Luoyang in the starry night, and the last general asked the Son of Heaven to move to the city. Xiahou Yuan was already unhappy when he heard Yang Feng say this, but he still couldn't help but signal the soldiers to urge the frame into the city. They have seen Lu Bu's bravery, Cao Cao often talks about Lu Bu's bravery, and this time he attacked Lu Bu's station, and he was extremely happy in his heart. Unexpectedly, the people around the down-and-out emperor only recognized Lu Bu, as if Cao Cao was stinky shit, and he didn't bother to explain to them nonsense, as long as the Son of Heaven fell into his hands, he must protect it, and there must be no more accidents.
Now Xiahou Yuan's words made Yang Feng understand that Lu Bu was not in Luoyang, so now they have Cao Cao blocking the road in front of them, and Li Yu and Guo Ci's pursuers behind them, according to the current situation, Cao Cao is at least under the banner of rescue. As for whether Xu Huang can hold Hangu Pass, Yang Feng is also up and down in his heart-
"Boom-" Suddenly feeling the earthquake, Xiahou Yuan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly urged the tiger and leopard rider to escort the Son of Heaven into Luoyang City, and he turned around and waited with a thousand tiger and leopard riders.
When the banner arrived, Xiahou Yuan saw that it was Lu Bu's banner most clearly, and saw Wen Hou Lu Bu galloping on a red rabbit horse, a distance of a hundred steps away from Xiahou Yuan, but Lu Bu's eyes were full of murderous aura. This time, his base camp was attacked by Cao Cao, which suddenly left Lu Bu with no place to live, but fortunately, Hedong County has been captured by Lu Bu, as for Wang Kuang's family, he has been sent to the west by Lu Bu, and Zang Ba safely protected Diao Chan, Lu Bu did not punish Zang Ba heavily, leaving Chen Gong to garrison Hedong County, and he took 5,000 cavalry to take advantage of Cao Cao's unstable foothold to recapture Luoyang City again.
"Where is Cao Mengde? Let him come out and talk to me-" Lu Bu has been entrenched in Luoyang for the past few years, and he has asked Cao Cao to pick up all the ready-made. However, this time Lu Bu is not here to fight, if Cao Cao doesn't know each other, then he can only let him try his Fang Tian painting halberd.
The city had already told Cao Cao the news of Lu Bu's arrival, and Cao Cao was also afraid that something would happen to Xiahou Yuan and hurriedly took Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu out of the city. ”
"Cao Mengde - let me ask you, why did you attack my station? Do you want to go to war with me? Today I give you two choices, one is to quit Luoyang City and put down all my things, including the Son of Heaven; The second is a duel-" Before coming, Chen Gong also thought about the importance of the Son of Heaven, and he instructed Lu Bu to recapture the Son of Heaven. Slowly, many princes will come to their senses, and it depends on who is fast-
"Haha-Wen Hou said this, I am in trouble with the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao, as a minister of the Han Dynasty, is duty-bound, and the edict of the Son of Heaven must be received earlier than Cao, right? At that time, Wen Hou didn't think about saving the Son of Heaven? Just now, Cao Mou has asked the Son of Heaven to move to Xuchang, as for Luoyang City, Tiger Prison Pass, and Bishui Pass, Cao Mou will return Wen Hou in full, but if Wen Hou wants to force Cao by force, Cao is not a vegetarian! At this time, the Son of Heaven was drinking broth in the city, and I wonder if Wen Hou would enter the city to meet him? Cao Cao's eyes were slightly dark, and he secretly scolded Lu Bu in his heart, he wanted to eat meat from Lao Tzu's mouth and was not afraid of breaking his teeth, he really thought that he was still the same Cao Mengde before.
"Good, good, good - Cao Mengde really hasn't seen his ability for a few days, let Lu see how you can dare to call me out!" After speaking, Lu Bu was about to make a move, but the sound of horses' hooves behind him made him stop moving.
Cao Cao also saw the dust behind Lu Bu, and when he came to the front, he saw people waving the military flag of the Han Dynasty and Xu Huang's banner, but their armor was in tatters as if they had gone through a hard battle. Seeing Cao Cao and them guarding the city gate, Xu Huang opened his mouth and said: "Xu Huang of a certain Hedong family, dare to ask you if the Son of Heaven is in the city?" ”
"It turned out to be General Xu Huang - the Son of Heaven and General Yang Feng are in the city! A certain Cao Mengde - "Cao Cao heard Yang Feng talk about Xu Huang, but he didn't invite Xu Huang into the city, because he saw that the dust was still very thick not far behind Xu Huang, and it seemed that there were chasing soldiers who came and had to want to repel the pursuers."
"General Cao has admired his name for a long time - there are Xiliang chasing soldiers behind the last general, and please help me retreat from the enemy first!" Hearing that Cao Cao was guarding the city gate, Xu Huang immediately ordered the remaining 3,000 remnants of the army to change formation to meet the pursuers.
In any case, Lu Bu's army was also on one side, Cao Cao was perfect for the combination of vertical and horizontal play, he promised Lu Bu to give him all the money, and asked the Son of Heaven to give him an official and a knight, after repelling the pursuers, all the cities occupied by Cao Cao were returned to Lu Bu, and he also gave him a Chenliu County. Lu Bu's people forgot their righteousness when they saw profit, and sure enough, they turned their weapons to meet Xiliang's pursuers.
It was Xiliang's five thousand iron cavalry who came to pursue, this time it was Li Yu and Guo Yan's cronies who led the troops, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Sima Du were all left behind, Xu Huang's rebellion had to make them wary, but what they didn't expect was that Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Cao Cao all met outside the city unexpectedly, and it was such a coincidence that the Xiliang army could not catch up with the Son of Heaven.
Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others saw that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry urged the horses to fight, the five thousand Iron Cavalry was powerful but could not stand the general like a wolf and a tiger, the general of the Xiliang Army who led the army died, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who lost its command fled like a scattered dog, and you led people to chase out of the five miles to cover up and kill for a while and then withdrew, with this cooperation, the relationship between the three parties finally eased a lot.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty finally escaped, they thought that Lu Bu would protect them, where did they know that one of Cao Cao's cities was sold, Zhou Yu is now the Emperor of Han Xian or fell into the hands of Cao Cao, this time Cao Cao's development will be even more rapid.
