Chapter 93: The Pursuit (4000 Words)

Then the army continued to the west to follow Cao Cao's traces, and about two hours later, Wang Jun and others saw the returning Cao army who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor.

"Phew."

With a pull on the reins, Wang Jun stopped steadily in front of Cao Cao's array, looked at the dejected Cao Cao and asked, "Brother Cao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cao Cao raised his head with a depressed expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Wang, are you here?" ”

Wang Jun didn't know that Cao Cao was ambushed by Xu Rong at this time, but he still pretended to know nothing, and said, "Brother Cao, you were beaten by Dong thieves?" ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "At night, we caught up with the tail of the Xiliang army, and we were just about to raid them, but we were ambushed by Xu Rong and Lu Bu of the Xiliang army, and our army was defeated in an ambush. ”

"I see." Wang Jun knew this in his heart, nodded and said, "Brother Cao, I am determined to continue to try to chase after you, you are willing to go with me." ”

"Forget it, I won't go, I hope Brother Wang will pay attention to safety." Cao Cao heard that there was some change in his heart, but when he thought that his army was not far from collapse, he still forgot it.

Turning around, he waved his hand and shouted, "The army gets out of the way and let Brother Wang's army pass." ”

At the sound of an order, Cao Cao's troops helped each other to walk to both sides of the official road, regardless of their physical exhaustion.

Wang Jun clasped his fists at Cao Cao to show his gratitude, and then the army continued to chase after him.

After chasing for another hour, I finally saw the figure of the Xiliang soldiers, and saw them free and scattered, in a mess, I am afraid that no one will catch up behind me.

Wang Jun pulled out the Heavenly Emperor Sword and pointed at the Xiliang soldiers, shouting, "Kill me." ”

The speed of the horses that sat down in an instant suddenly increased again, and Xu Huang took the lead in rushing into the crowd with a big axe, and the axe in his hand really died when he touched it, and he died next to it.

At this time, Xu Rong, the general who was being carried by the guards in front, heard the movement behind him, and despite his injuries, he still struggled to sit up and command the troops, disperse the people, and defend on the spot.

Wang Jun immediately noticed the Xiliang soldiers who were waiting for him, and turned around and shouted at Gao Shun: "Gao Shun broke through the enemy's position and captured the enemy general alive." ”

"Nuo" Gao Shun responded loudly and shouted: "Trap the camp and dismount, line up." ”

Soon the 800 trap camp turned over and dismounted, took up arms and lined up. Gao Shun was in the center, pointed his long sword, and shouted: "Trap the camp and attack." ”

Because of the trapped camp that has enjoyed countless resources but has never had a chance to go into battle, it has long been accused by other troops, so there is a fire in his heart, and now Wang Jun finally sent them, and shouted at the top of his throat, saying: "The will to fall into the battle, there is death and no life." ”

Looking at the high-morale trapped camp, Gao Shun's heart was full of pride, but there was no change on his face, he still looked calm, and said: "Trapped in the camp, release the arrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the camp took out their crossbow machines, tilted upwards slightly, and fired arrows at the formation of the Xiliang soldiers, and the rain of arrows flew into the sky with a bang,

Xu Rong, who was lying on the stretcher, gasped heavily, covered the wound on his chest, gave a weak order, and saw the rain of arrows falling from the sky and said: "The sword and shield soldiers erect shields, and the archers release arrows and return fire." ”

After the first order was issued, Xu Rong could no longer hold on to his injuries, and his eyes were completely dark.

Gao Shun looked at the rain of arrows released by the Xiliang soldiers, and a sneer hung on his mouth, not to mention that the cultivation of the camp is the "Iron Elephant Gong" itself is a body protection skill, and it has the effect of being invulnerable, that is, the Mingguang armor on their bodies is also heavy armor, although they are not afraid of the arrow rain of the Xiliang soldiers, there is no need to be innocently injured, after all, the eyes and ears are still weak now, and he said calmly: "Abandon the crossbow and erect the shield." ”

In an instant, all the soldiers in the trapped camp discarded their crossbow machines, raised their large shields, and the shields the size of half a man immediately turned the city into a shield wall.

Dangdangdang, a series of long arrows and shields collided, like the sound of a hurried piano. Because Xu Rongjun ambushed Cao Cao's army in the night, a large number of arrows were not replenished, and there were no two salvos, and the archers were completely out of arrows.

Step by step, he slowly walked towards the Xiliang soldiers, and the trapped camp soon approached the Xiliang soldiers' camp, Gao Shun shouted: "Changge stab, sharp knife formation." ”

With Gao Shun's words, a long Changge with a long handle stabbed out from the gap in the shield, and a long knife with silver light was pulled out, and the sudden Changge tore apart the formation of the Xiliang soldiers, trapped the camp and killed the Xiliang soldiers, and turned in a circle to kill the Xiliang soldiers.

Because Xu Rong couldn't hold on to his injuries and fell asleep in advance, the Xiliang soldiers without Xu Rong's command were in chaos, some wanted to fight back, some wanted to retreat, and some wanted to escape.

As soon as Gao Shun saw the chaos of the Xiliang soldiers, he immediately ordered to speed up the progress and completely defeated the Xiliang soldiers, most of the Xiliang soldiers were old fritters, and when they saw the defeat of the soldiers, they turned around and ran, and there was a burst of slashing and killing in the way.

Several guards carrying Xu Rong threw the stretcher to the side of the road when they saw that the situation was not good, and the girl ran away.

Seeing this, Gao Shun immediately ordered the pursuit, and soon found Xu Rong lying on the side of the road still breathing, and immediately sent someone to report to Wang Jun, while he guarded Xu Rong.

Wang Jun saw that there were no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses here, and the whole thing was in a mess, and Dili shouted murderously: "Everyone squats on the ground with their heads in their hands, abandons their weapons and surrenders, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately shouted: "Squat on the ground with your head in your hands, abandon your weapons and surrender, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”

Then all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Squat on the ground with your head in your hands, abandon your weapons and surrender, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”

The people of Luoyang knew that they couldn't beat these Xiliang soldiers, for fear that they would be killed by these wolf-like soldiers as Xiliang soldiers, and when they heard Wang Jun's words, they instantly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Some children who were still ignorant and crying were forcibly pulled down by their parents to squat down, and then whispered to comfort the children in their arms. Some honest people secretly prayed in their hearts that Wang Jun would not be a cruel and violent general like Dong Zhuo, as long as he could let the family survive.

With a bang, as the first Xiliang soldier threw away the blade in his hand, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and the Xiliang soldiers surrendered one after another, and finally surrendered in batches.

Wang Jun nodded with satisfaction, looked at more than 100,000 people, more than 2,000 Xiliang prisoners, and said, "Collect the wounded soldiers, collect the people, and take care of the prisoners." ”

Then a team of guards walked out, conveyed Wang Jun's order, and at the same time gathered the people and hunted down the traitors.

"Lord, we have found the enemy commander, he is seriously injured, not far from death, I don't know if we want to save him?" Wang Tao walked over quickly, bowed down and asked.

"Help, feed him to take the Rejuvenation Pill, this person is also a great talent, not to be missed." Wang Jun said categorically.

"My subordinates understand." Wang Tao saluted, turned around and ran towards Xu Rong's position.

At this time, Lu Bu, who was in the front, heard a report from Tanmalai, saying that Xu Rong's troops were raided by Wang Junjun's army, and he was afraid that the credit of last night would be insufficient, so in order to save his position in Dong Zhuo's heart as soon as possible, he decided to bring troops to help Xu Rong.

But when he arrived near the battlefield and saw that it was Xu Huang's banner, he didn't dare to mention the rescue of Xu Rong, so he turned around and ran away with the wolf of Bingzhou, completely abandoning Xu Rong.

.........

Originally, Wang Jun was still going to take the captives, and the people returned to Luoyang to settle first, but they didn't expect the night to come too quickly, so they could only be stationed on the spot.

Later, as soon as he wanted to take these people to Luoyang, he didn't know what was going on, so he simply sent the people prisoners to Bingzhou, and sent Huang Zhong to build temporary bridges on both sides of the Yellow River through Tianwang, prepare ships, and pick up the people and prisoners.

Wang Jun remembered that he had not bathed for a few days and was covered in dust, so he took out the traveler's tent and put it up, and took a hot bath.

After taking a shower, Wang Jun sat on the sofa drinking tea, Cheng Yu and a few people sat and chatted on the sofas on both sides, the fireplace on the wall was lit, the brazier was raised, and the tent was as bright as day.

Wang Tao, who was standing guard outside the tent, walked in, bowed down and said, "Lord, there is an old man outside with a girl holding a burnt piano, and two personal maids have come to see the lord. The old man claimed to be Cai Yong, and he didn't know if the lord wanted to see him. ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect it to be the great Confucian Cai Yong, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Cai Yong is the great Confucian of the world, the leader of Wenlin, you can't see it." ”

Wang Jun nodded, not to mention Cai Yong's identity as a great Confucian in the world, Cai Yan, a tragic and talented woman of a single generation, is worth seeing, if Wang Yun and others, then where will they come from and where will they die, anyway, those people are not on the same road as him, and said: "Please." ”

After a while, Wang Tao walked in with Cai Yong and Cai Yan, Wang Jun took the lead and saluted slightly, and said, "Cai Zhonglang." ”

"Cai Zhonglang."

Cai Yong's father and daughter looked at the interior decoration, and were shocked in their hearts, the tent that didn't look big was so big inside, and the decoration was gorgeous, and they couldn't help but dislike Wang Jun, and looked down on him a little, thinking that he and Dong Zhuo were generally cruel and unkind, and liked luxury.

The Han etiquette system is rigorous and meticulous, as long as they are not rude, the two must salute when they meet, because they don't like Wang Jun in their hearts, Cai Yong replied with a flat salute: "The old man Cai Yong has seen everyone. ”

Cai Yan saluted and said, "Zhao Ji has seen the pastor of Bingzhou, and I have seen you. ”

Wang Jun saw that the two of them were thinking and didn't say much, made a gesture of please, and said, "Gong Cai, please take a seat." ”

Cheng Yu and the others hurriedly got out of the way and let Cai Yong's father and daughter sit down and rest.

Wang Jun made another cup of tea for the two of them and said, "Cai Gong, please use it." ”

After a pause, he asked with some curiosity: "Cai Gong shouldn't have entered Chang'an with Dong Zhuo, how could he be here?" ”

Cai Yan glanced at Cai Yong next to him with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "My father refused to part with the collection of books at home, so he stayed at the back of the team. ”

Wang Jun didn't look abnormal on the surface, nodded calmly, but in his heart he praised those Xiliang soldiers, and said secretly in his heart: "This group of bastards finally did a good thing at first sight, and kept Cai Yong's father and daughter for me." ”

But he asked, "I don't know what Cai Gong is going to do next?" ”

Although Cai Yong was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's atrocities, Dong Zhuo didn't say much about him after all, so he said without hesitation: "Of course, I will return to Chang'an and serve Your Majesty, and I hope that the governor will send someone to Chang'an." ”

Wang Jun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, Chang'an is now a bottomless whirlpool, and he doesn't know how many people will be crushed to death, how many people can't escape, they have already left the whirlpool and are in a safe area, this old man is so uninteresting that he has to crash into it.

Shaking his head, he refused: "I won't agree to this matter of Cai Gong, after all, it is a hostile relationship with Dong Zhuonai, if my soldiers and horses enter Chang'an, will they still be alive?"

What's more, if you don't take charge of the army, and if you don't take power, even if you enter Chang'an, it's not that you can only watch Dong Zhuo bully the emperor, and you can't do anything, it's better to be out of sight. ”

Cai Yong was furious when he heard this, and asked: "You are deeply favored by the emperor, if today's son is covered with dust, you don't think about rescue, let you send me to Chang'an, and push back and forth, you really are not a son of man." ”

Unexpectedly, this old man was so interesting, Wang Jun laughed out loud and asked, "Gong Cai said that I am deeply favored by the emperor, I don't know what kind of favor I have received?" ”

"Your position as the Taishou of Hexi was sealed by the first emperor, and the state pastor was canonized by His Majesty, and you are not deeply favored by the emperor." Cai Yong said angrily.

Wang Jun sneered: "Gong Cai doesn't know, Hexi Taishou was bought by me for 35 million dollars, and it was just an ordinary transaction with the first emperor, how can I be favored?" And the state pastor is Dong Zhuo's bargaining chip to make good friends with me, and take care of Liu Xie's! ”

Cai Yong was choked suddenly, he couldn't imagine that Wang Jun's official position had so much inside information.

Wang Jun knew that Cai Yong's name was Zhonglang, and he was actually a scholar, so he didn't know what was inside, and said: "For your safety, and the safety of Miss Zhaoji, it's better for you to go back to teach and educate people, Chang'an City is not a place where honest people like you can stay, and besides, there will be civil strife in Chang'an City soon, so it's better for you to find a place to hide." ”

Cai Yan secretly tugged at Cai Yong's sleeve and asked crisply: "I don't know how Bingzhou is going to arrange our father and daughter?" ”

Wang Jun also has a headache, when you suddenly arrived, I really didn't think about it, and suddenly remembered the identity of Cai Yong's Confucian, who could become the dean of Bingzhou Academy, and said with a straight face: "Cai Gong still goes back to Bingzhou with me, the Central Plains is a place of right and wrong for you, Wang Tao arranged two big tents for Cai Gong's father and daughter to live." ”

"Please, two." Wang Tao made a gesture of invitation and sent the two away.

Cai Yan could see that Wang Jun was not going to let their father and daughter go, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves and said, "I'm tired of being a state pastor." ”

As he spoke, he helped Cai Yong and prepared to leave.

Wang Jun suddenly remembered that there were many men in the camp, which was inconvenient for Cai Yan, so it was better to let them rest in the guest room, pointed to the direction of the guest room, and said: "Wang Tao doesn't need to prepare the camp tent, send Cai Gong and Cai Yan girl to the guest room to rest." ”

"No."

Waiting for Cai Yong and the others to disappear, Cheng Yu looked at Wang Jun with a wry smile and said, "Lord, I originally suggested that you entertain Cai Gong well, but I didn't let you detain them!" ”

Wang Jun looked at him and said, "I didn't entertain them well, let them live in the traveler's tent." ”

Cheng Yu saw that Wang Jun was a scoundrel, sorted out his mood, and asked, "Lord, I don't know how you plan to arrange Cai Gong?" ”

Wang Jun took a sip of the teacup and said slowly: "I decided to press Cai Yong in the position of the dean of Bingzhou Academy, what do you think?" ”

Cheng Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said with a happy face: "The lord has a good idea, this can not only enhance the popularity of Bingzhou Academy, but also attract some literati to come." ”

Wang Jun was a little hesitant, but when he heard this, he immediately decided, and said with a hint of firmness on his face: "Whether Cai Yong wants to bring him to Bingzhou or not, with this living signboard, I think some talents will also vote for me." ”

Cheng Yu saw that Wang Jun's attention had been decided, and said: "I hope that the lord will not snub Cai Gong, after all, we still need Cai Gong's prestige." ”

Wang Jun nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't deliberately make trouble, I won't snub him." ”
