Chapter 533: Pursuit
When I returned to the palace, I immediately saw Lianhua reading a book here, it seemed that she was waiting for her to return here, Li Xing saw that Lianhua was reading so attentively, she couldn't help but tease her thoughts, and quietly came behind Lianhua, and then gently sighed in her ear.
"Who!" After noticing it, Lianhua immediately turned around and hit Li Xing with her elbow, Li Xing blocked Lianhua's elbow, and then picked up Lianhua and said to her: "I didn't expect that I just came back, and I saw a little beauty, are you waiting for me here?" ”
was picked up by Li Xing, Lianhua was shocked at first, and then judged that it was Li Xing through feeling, and then turned his head and glared at Li Xing, and then hammered Li Xing's chest with his fist before saying: "You are really, almost scared me to death, people are waiting for you here, but you tease me like this!" ”
Li Xing looked at the girl in his arms with a light and angry appearance, and his heart was also full of pity, so he nodded lightly on Lianhua's white and tender cheeks, and then smiled: "It's all your fault, because I can see Lianhua's so cute appearance, I will be like this!" ”
Listening to the strong words that came out of Li Xing's mouth, Lianhua's heart was even more happy, and she put her arms around Li Xing's neck, showing a sweet smile, and said coquettishly: "It's good that you like it, dear, what's going on with that heirloom jade seal?" ”
"You'll find out later, it's definitely a good thing!" Li Xing sold a pass first, and said with a smile to Lianhua, and then no matter how Lianhua asked, he refused to say a word, and the two of them returned to the camp together, and it didn't take long to hear the spies report that the coalition army had come to Luoyang.
Li Xing once again invited everyone to pursue Lu Bu and the Xiliang Army, because according to the information Li Xing obtained, although Lu Bu mastered more than half of the Xiliang Army, there were still many people who disobeyed him, and without Dong Zhuo's suppression, the Xiliang Army could be said to be a plate of scattered sand, and it was a good time to attack and destroy them.
However, obviously, because in the eyes of the princes here, the current Xiliang Army has fallen apart and cannot pose a threat to them, the soil emperors, without the pain, most of these people have no intention of continuing to crusade against the Xiliang Army and Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu held Emperor Xian hostage, Emperor Xian was taken away, and now everyone has a reason not to obey the emperor's orders, so they have rejected Li Xing's request to pursue together.
To say that Li Xing wants to go to the pursuit, it doesn't mean that he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, Li Xing is just brushing up his reputation and establishing an image of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, you know, now the imperial court can no longer control the situation in the world, but there is still a lot of appeal for talents from all sides, Li Xing is so hoping to recruit some talents, after all, although he has cultivated a lot of military generals over the years, there is no talented general, and most of the talents cultivated can only be said to be third-rate. As the backbone of the army and the governance of the localities, it is okay, but it is still insufficient to entrust them with important tasks.
In the end, only Cao Cao, who initiated the alliance, and Li Xing himself, were willing to pursue the Xiliang army, Cao Cao's purpose this time was very simple, that is, to welcome back the emperor, and Li Xing's purpose was the wealth of Luoyang.
When the Xiliang army left Luoyang, it forced the various families to relocate, and also took away a large amount of property in these families and the palace, Li Xing was in Luoyang for a day, the army searched for a lot of Xiliang army has not taken away or those families have hidden property, and even after the princes of the coalition army came, they have repeatedly obtained, these properties can be used to recruit troops and buy horses, and it will be the princes to compete for hegemony soon.
This time to pursue, as the vanguard, in addition to the cavalry of Li Xing's headquarters, there are also 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry collected in Bishui Pass some time ago, these Xiliang iron cavalry are all elite, even if the equipment is not as good as the cavalry of Li Xing's headquarters, the combat power is not different, Li Xing incorporated five thousand of them into his own headquarters cavalry, and the other five thousand were handed over to Hua Xiong to lead.
Hua Xiong was persuaded by Li Xing to surrender soon after he was captured by Zhidai in Bishui Pass, but he was unwilling to go against Dong Zhuo, so when attacking Tiger Pass, Hua Xiong did not appear, but stayed in the camp with the Xiliang cavalry. It was only after receiving the news that Li Xing had brought Dong Zhuo's death that Hua Xiong agreed to follow Li Xing's order to pursue the Xiliang army.
To say that Hua Xiong's prestige in the Xiliang Army is indeed not low, before Lu Bu joined, Hua Xiong was the first general of the Xiliang Army, it is precisely because of Hua Xiong's cooperation that Li Xing's incorporation of the Xiliang Army will be completed so quickly, this time to pursue the Xiliang Army, Li Xing believes that he can not only get a lot of money to enrich the logistics, but also can incorporate some Xiliang elite soldiers, in this way, he has a great advantage in the early stage of the princes' struggle for hegemony.
Here, Li Xing led the army to pursue, and at the same time sent a large number of outposts to guard against a sneak attack, but along the way, he kept up with the retreating team of the Xiliang army, and he didn't see any ambush Xiliang army, which made Li Xing feel a little puzzled: "What's going on?" According to history, when Cao Cao was pursuing, he encountered Lu Bu's ambush? ”
But soon, Li Xing reacted, in history, Dong Zhuo was still there, and the ambush plan was proposed by Li Ru, but now Dong Zhuo has been killed, Li Ru was also killed by Diao Chan, and suddenly there was a lack of Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army was panicked, so that everyone only cared about running away, and no one raised it to guard against the pursuit, plus this team of people, not to mention the many ministers and their families, as well as a large amount of property, are all factors that will slow down the marching team, plus Li Xing shot out the Zhidai, The cavalry led by Xianzi and Hua Xiong was extremely fast, so they easily chased after them along the way.
Seeing the long queue, Zhidai directly ordered a raid, which soon caused a large-scale chaos in the Xiliang Army, and the soldiers and people of the Xiliang Army fled in all directions, but in this way, in order to appease the people, these Xiliang troops were captured back, and the scattered property was collected, and a lot of energy was spent, but Lu Bu, who got the news, led the army to speed up and escape, and only a small part of the ministers and their families were rescued, as well as a large number of people, and there were nearly 20,000 prisoners of the Xiliang Army.
Cao Cao followed behind Li Xing's infantry army, and also got a lot of goods, after the two families returned with a full load, Li Xing no longer paid attention to the princes who were still in Luoyang and looted, and set off directly to return to his own territory first, but what Li Xing didn't expect was that Zhidai actually brought back a woman to Li Xing.
