However, he has not yet made a final decision, and he has to see the reactions of all parties after the news of his defeat of Dong Zhuo spreads before he can make the most appropriate decision.

Xi Zhicai saw that Wei Xuan was indifferent to his persuasion and fell into contemplation, he had a plan, but if Wei Xuan didn't make a decision one day, he had to continue to make new plans for Wei Xuan.

At this time, Guo Jia also spoke: "Second brother, it's time to go, this place is still at least two days away from Luoyang." It is better to arrive in Luoyang as early as possible and spread the word to the world one day earlier. ”

Wei Xuan nodded: "Order the whole army to set off, tell everyone to cheer up, and strive to go to Luoyang for dinner tomorrow!" In addition, Wei Yun's rear army was ordered to move to Yanshi and divide the troops to occupy two passes. ”

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo evacuated Yique Pass overnight, and there were also subordinates Dong Zhuo who entered Luoyang to hold on, but after learning that Wei Xuan was following, the whole army directly abandoned this idea and went straight to Hangu Pass.

Even so, Dong Zhuo's Hou Jun was still caught up and fought by Wei Zheng and Huang Zhong in the middle of the night, and the result was naturally that Dong Zhuo lost very badly, which strengthened his determination to return to Chang'an directly.

???????????????? After receiving the news, Hu Zhen of Taigu also quietly left the next day, and Sun Jian followed all the way, arriving in Luoyang one day later than Wei Xuan. Lu Bu of the Yan Division directly abandoned the infantry and rushed all the way to Hangu Pass. Although Zhang Liao and the others were ordered to pursue, the thousands of prisoners could not be ignored.

After this decisive battle before Yique Pass, although Wei Xuan comprehensively defeated Dong Zhuo, his own losses were not small, fortunately, Wei Xuan had more military doctors with the army, as long as he did not hurt his internal organs, he could basically survive. Even so, Wei Xuan's entire army, not counting Xu Huang and Yang Fengbu, lost nearly 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 infantry, captured more than 3,000 Xiliang soldiers, and more than 1,000 state soldiers. Wei Xuan directly allocated all the Xiliang soldiers to Xu Rong for him to select, and handed over the state soldiers to Zhang Liao, and Wei Xuan, who had been eliminated, did not give up preparing to use them as Tuntian.

Wei Xuan defeated Lu Bu first and then broke Dong Zhuo, and the news that Dong Zhuo abandoned Henan and fled back to Chang'an soon spread, and it was really a shock to the world, especially the princes of the Eighteen Roads who had sour jujube oaths had mixed reactions.

Hebei Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao's hand was connected to a handwritten letter from Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan not only described in detail the process of leading his troops to defeat Dong Zhuode, but also poured bitter water in the letter, Yuan Shao of course didn't have the heart to look at Wei Xuan's other Luo Li nonsense, but the news of defeating Dong Zhuo was too shocking, Yuan Shao never dreamed that Wei Xuan could really defeat Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, but the facts were in front of him, as the leader of the Eighteenth Route Alliance Army and one of the successors of the Yuan clan in Runan, he immediately convened his generals and strategists to discuss countermeasures.

Yuan Shao asked Wei Xuan's handwritten letter to be read by the people below and said: "Tell everyone a good news, Wei Zhongdao led his troops to defeat Dong Zhuo at Yique Pass, and then Xu Huang occupied Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an. It is a big step forward to discuss the great cause of Dong, which is really exciting. ”

Although Yuan Shao said that it was good news, but the kind of insincerity was insincere, and everyone present could see it, especially those who were close to Yuan Shao, and they knew that they voted for the alliance leader at the beginning, if Wei Xuan voted for himself like him Yuan Shao, then the alliance leader was Wei Xuan's. Next, Wei Xuan was in the sour jujube, in the Yuyuan Pass, and in the Yique Pass, almost winning the battle, like standing out from the crowd. And he Yuan Shao has been standing still in Hebei but was attacked by Dong Zhuo's troops, resulting in the annihilation of Wang Kuang's entire army, and even the subordinate officials of the Taishou Mansion in Hanoi were served by others, and the comparison between the two can be seen.

In addition, Wei Xuan is originally from the Hedong Wang family, his father is Taishi, he studied under the Confucian Zheng Xuan, and his father-in-law is Cai Yong, and Wei Xuan, who is only twenty-two years old in personal fame, is about to surpass him Yuan Shao. Thinking of this, it would be strange if Yuan Shao could still plan Jizhou with peace of mind.

Guo Tu wiped his face and saw that Yuan Shao's words were insincere, and he didn't beat around the bush and stood up and said: "Duke Ming, defeating Dong Zhuo is good news for Wei Xuan, but it is not Duke Ming's. ”

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart Of course I know, the problem is that the surface article must be done. However, Guo Tu is a famous person in Yingchuan, and he wants to plan that Jizhou needs famous people from all over the world, so he asked with a pleasant face: "Gongzhi, how do you say this?" ”

Guo Tu paused and said: "Ming Gong, the people of the world don't know that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are eager to return to their hearts, and they have long had no intention of fighting, Wei Xuan just picked up a big bargain with the help of geographical advantages, and only thinks that he Wei Xuan is loyal to the royal family, and Hu Xia is brave, so the world's celebrities and heroes will take refuge in him one after another." He took a break in Luoyang???????????????? The whole army must be greatly boosted, and the brainless Sun Jian and the stubborn Cao Meng will definitely be willing to attach the cocktail. The army went to Chang'an, if the scholars of the Chang'an court were willing to respond to Wei Neiying when they got the news, and if the Qiang people of Liangzhou were coming to make trouble, then Dong Zhuo would definitely not be able to stop Wei Xuan.

Ming Gong, if Wei Xuan can really welcome the return of the Son of Heaven to the east, under the people's hearts, Ming Gong's reputation will definitely not be shrunk by Wei Xuan, and the Bohai Korean Festival will not tolerate Ming Gong! ”

The smile on Yuan Shao's face disappeared completely, Guo Tu pointed out the consequences of letting Wei Xuan go, he glanced at the people who were doing it, and looked at Guo Tu very solemnly: "Gongzhi, what should you do according to your plan?" ”

Guo Tu said without thinking: "Wei Xuan's true face must be exposed as soon as possible, he will definitely suffer heavy losses in this battle with Dong Zhuo, if Ming Gong can expose his true face in time, he will definitely not be able to get troops and food and grass supplements, and he will not pose a threat to the lord." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and did not interrupt Guo Tu, Guo Tu also said very hard and generously: "Wei Xuanli has made this great achievement, Ming Gong can be listed as the captain of Si Li, leading Henan Yin, and cousin Sun Jian is the ruling Jinwu to let the two tigers fight." ”

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu with a little puzzlement, didn't he say that he wanted to attack Wei Xuan as soon as possible, how could he be named the captain of Si Li, the captain of Si Li is not something that ordinary people can do, isn't he telling the world that he also admires Wei Xuan? Didn't you encourage everyone to go to Luoyang to join Wei Xuan and then follow him to Chang'an?

Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao's expression and knew that he didn't guess his intentions, so he continued: "Henan has long been plagued by Dong Zhuo, Wei Xuan himself also said that the white bones are exposed in the wilderness and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, Ming Gong said that he is the captain of Si Li, whether he accepts it or not, Ming Gong can be listed again for the two of them to be around Yingchuan Taishou and Changsha Taishou. ”

Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, and then began to hesitate again. Guo Tu's move can be described as extremely ruthless, on the surface, it seems that Yuan Shao is commending Wei Xuan's merits, but Henan is in ruins, how does Wei Xuan raise soldiers? Moreover, with the loss of Yingchuan and Changsha, Wei Xuan and Sun Jian will soon run out of grain and grass when they are crowded together, not to mention hitting Chang'an, I am afraid that they will not be able to support the heroes and celebrities who are to be taken refuge. So Wei Xuan must be unwilling to accept this move, so what should he do? can only accept it when it is good, retreat and return to Yingchuan, then the situation will return to before the crusade against Dong Zhuo. And many heroes and celebrities will definitely be disappointed in Wei Xuan! So this trick was tried, Wei Xuan and Sun Jian must hate Yuan Shao from now on.

Yuan Shao hesitated naturally because he was worried that a smart person would see through his plan and affect his reputation, and he was worried that Wei Xuan would break with him.

Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, Guo Tu continued: "Ming Gong, the world is the most important, and personal relations are secondary. Dong Zhuojun's heart is disheartened, if Wei Xuan and Sun Jian are allowed to get respite and rest, there is a great chance to break through Chang'an. If Wei Xuan summoned Ming Gong to Luoyang or even Chang'an in the name of rewarding the Kwantung Coalition Army, how could Ming Gong deal with himself? ”

Yuan Shao was stunned: "This ......"

Although Yuan Shao is only the nominal leader of the alliance, he is still the leader of the alliance in the end, and when Wei Xuan takes control of the government, it is logical to recall him, the leader of the alliance. Although Wei Xuan is not Dong Zhuo, Wei Xuan, who comes from a famous family, will definitely not be a political novice, even if he himself is Pei Ye and Wei Su, he will remind him. That Wang Yun, Cai Yong and Zhong Xuan are also his Wei Xuan???????????????? In-law. The people of his Yuan family in the court were all wiped out, and one thing was eliminated, and coupled with the discord between himself and today, Yuan Shao felt that it would be better for him not to avoid Dong Zhuo in power when the time came.

Yuan Shao was still a little hesitant: "In this way, Zhongdao will definitely hold a grudge against me, will it fall to the highway?" ”

Guo Tu laughed: "Ming Gong, until now you still underestimate Wei Xuan, he will neither defect to Ming Gong nor Yuan Highway, he has great ambitions, Tu knew it from when he was a thief captain." Ming Gong, Wei Xuan can grow to such a point in two years, the former Taishou of Yingchuan is Pei Ye, Wei Su has also done the history of Yuzhou Assassination, and Cai Yong and Wang Yun of Chang'an Imperial Court Li are his fathers-in-law! Ming Gong must not be underestimated. ”

Yuan Shao sat there and pondered for a long time, and finally said to everyone: "Then according to the public rules, I will immediately go to the court." ”

At the same time, Nanyang Wancheng, Yuan Shu's post-general's mansion, the same scene is being staged, Sun Jian is out of Yuan Shu's control and defected to Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan also greatly lost Yuan Shu's face in the sour date that day, and now that these two people have won a big victory, he is really restless. His advisor Yang Hong gave Yuan Shu the same strategy.

】

Soon Wei Xuan, who was in Luoyang, got the news, looking at the information sent back by Jinyi Wei, his face was pale, he handed the note to Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai frowned after reading it, it turned out that Yuan Shao planned to go to the table to watch Wei Xuan as the captain of Si Li, and cousin Sun Jian as the ruling Jinwu, and at the same time express Xu You as the Taishou of Yingchuan, and express Chun Yuqiong as the Taishou of Changsha. And Chun Yuqiong had already led 5,000 infantry across the Yellow River to prepare to go south.

Jia Xu hurriedly glanced at the note and handed it to Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng scolded after reading the note: "Yuan Benchu was the third prince of the world, and his uncle and clansmen were killed by Dong Zhuo, he didn't want to repay such a family ugliness, but he wanted to stop Zhong Dao from going to Chang'an to rescue the Son of Heaven, a good trick to draw salary, hateful, hateful!" ”

Before he finished speaking, the note in the second chapter arrived again, it turned out that Yuan Shushang was the captain of the school, Sun Jian was the commander of Jinwu, and at the same time, Yang Hong was the Taishou of Yingchuan, and Ji Ling was the Taishou of Changsha.

After reading this, Wei Zheng was already angry, so he simply sat down and didn't speak.
