And at this moment, Dong Zhuo is in Qian County!

Qian County, almost the core location of Yuzhou, is also Cao Cao's hometown.

Cao Cao snatched this place and hid the thoughts that outsiders didn't know.

Dong Zhuo took a leisurely walk at this time, inspecting this small county seat.

Seeing the simple and usual small county town with his own eyes, Dong Zhuo's old face was surprised, and he said, "Cao Cao is here, he didn't do anything?" ”

This county seat was taken by Niu Fu, and when he heard his father-in-law's question, he said in a loud voice: "Father-in-law, I inquired, and said that Cao Cao was sympathetic to the township and did not do anything." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded with a smile and said: "Cao Cao is also a good talent, if he can be used by me, he will be prosperous and rich, and the old man will be reluctant!" ”

"That's what my father-in-law said." The cow of the dwarf winter melon is full of smiles and flowers. He captured the important place of Qian County, not to mention the money and food, and many beauties, and most importantly, this is a great credit!

After taking Qian County, Dong Zhuo was so excited that he couldn't do it, he put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "It's not in vain that the old man has been planning for a year, and finally won Yuzhou without much effort!" ”

Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are now seizing the states and counties of Yuzhou, and it can be expected that at most half a month, Yuzhou will basically fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

Niu Fu nodded in agreement, already imagining a better life in the future.

I have been trapped in Peiguo for all these years, although I have lived well, I have always felt uncomfortable.

Now the world is big, and the field of vision is suddenly wider.

"Dong Gong!"

Suddenly, a fast horse came to report, fell behind Dong Zhuo, and said urgently: "Cao Cao's general Le Jin suddenly led his troops to surround Xiangxian. ”

"What!"

Everyone's faces changed in disbelief.

Dong Zhuolian walked a few steps, stared at him, and said, "Cao Cao, can you see clearly?" ”

The herald knelt on one knee and said, "See clearly." It was Cao Cao's general Le Jin, who had been shouting at the city gate and demanding that Xiangxian surrender. ”

Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy in an instant, and he couldn't figure it out, how could Lejin suddenly run to Xiangxian!

Niu Fu's eyes widened and said, "Is it only that Lejin?" Can you see anyone else? Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren? ”

The herald was stunned for a moment and said, "I only saw Le Jin, but I didn't see Cao Cao." ”

Dong Zhuo's left hand behind his back held the saber at his waist, and his eyes flashed with a vicious light.

At this moment, it was a good time for him to take Yuzhou, but Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xiangxian and poke at his lair!

Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't speak, Niu Fu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, our family members are all in Xiangxian, and Xiangxian can't afford to lose!" ”

Similar to Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo also used all his strength to send troops this time, almost all the soldiers and horses were brought out, and only more than 1,000 old and weak women and children were left in Xiangxian County.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were red, and he was about to speak, when Jia Xu spoke.

"No!"

Jia Xu categorically vetoed it and said, "Dong Gong, Cao Cao's move is to ruin Dong Zhuo's plan." At this time, there is no need to manage Xiangxian County, continue to capture Yuzhou County, I expect that the besieging of Xiangxian will not be too many, and it will not last too long, at most three or five days, and it will be pulled into Yanzhou. ”

"Must be saved!"

Niu Fu, who has always been obedient to Jia Xu's words, retorted loudly and said: "Xiangxian is a matter of the army's heart, once Xiangxian is lost, the soldiers and horses in various places will suddenly be in chaos, and Xiangxian can't lose!" ”

Jia Xu opened his mouth to speak, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "What Niu Fu said is good. I immediately led the troops to Xiangxian, Wenhe, except for Yingchuan, other states and counties, the old man wants! ”

Jia Xu silently calculated for a moment, although he returned at this time, the plan was frustrated, but it would not affect the overall situation, so he said; "Xia Guan understands."

Dong Zhuo saw that Jia Xu did not object, so he immediately ordered troops to rescue Xiangxian.

Xiangxian has a lot of Dong Zhuo's hearts and minds, Jia Xu is alone, he has no worries, he Dong Zhuo is not!

Jia Xu watched Dong Zhuo out of the city, looked up at the sun, and frowned subconsciously.

But after a glance, I don't know when the clothes were stained with blood, and I immediately frowned, what I thought of just now was completely shocked.

Out of Qian County, Dong Zhuo hurried day and night, non-stop.

I don't know if it's too hot or too anxious, Dong Zhuo's face is dripping with cold sweat, and he can't wipe it clean.

In recent years, Dong Zhuo has been pampered and has gained a lot of weight than before.

He sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at Xiangxian, and said, "Niu Fu, how long is it left?" ”

Niu Fu rode a horse, hotter than Dong Zhuo, and said, "Father-in-law, it's almost time to get to Feiting." ”

"Spread the word, speed up the march." Dong Zhuo was impatient. He has so many good things in Xiang County, if he is robbed by Cao Cao, he will die of distress.

Niu Fu was tired enough and didn't want to speed up, but he still responded.

Dong Zhuo rushed to Xiangxian with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Not long after leaving, Dong Zhuo lifted the curtain again and said, "Is there any battle report in Xiangxian?" ”

Niu Fu touched the sweat on his neck and said, "It was still an hour ago, the official army besieged but did not attack, and there were signs of withdrawing. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded reassuringly and said, "Wen He's good material." That Lejin didn't bring much grain and grass, and once he attacked the city, he might not be able to get out, which was a deliberate attempt to ruin my plan. ”

Niu Fu didn't care what he wanted, he just wanted to go back to his courtyard immediately and see his family and gold and silver treasures.

It was almost evening, Dong Zhuo lifted the curtain, looked out, and said, "Haven't you arrived at Feiting yet?" ”

Niu Fu almost stuck out his tongue and said breathlessly: "Father-in-law, there is still half an hour to come." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help it, he wanted to be respectful, endured it and endured it, and said, "The whole army rests for half an hour." ”

Niu Fu was overjoyed, jumped off the horse, grabbed the water, and kept pouring it on his head and clothes.

The weather is approaching August, and it can really heat people to death.

The army stopped, and the soldiers hurried all the way, and now they were paralyzed on the ground, huddled together in twos and threes, scrambling to drink water, and then their mouths were open, and the others did not want to move, and their eyes were almost open.

Dong Zhuo was comfortable and walked back, ready to enjoy the coolness of the charcoal ice in the carriage.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, from the woods and canyons on both sides of the road, countless officers and soldiers were killed, shouting and killing were shocking, and the footsteps shook the ground, rushing towards Dong Zhuo like a wolf and a tiger.

Le Jin looked at Dong Zhuo from afar, waved the big knife in his hand a few times, was extremely excited, took the lead, and rushed over.

Dong Zhuo's feet slipped, he turned back in horror, and when he saw Cao Cao's banner, he was immediately shocked, and said urgently: "Niu Fu, hurry, block them!" ”

Niu Fu tied the belt of his trousers and shouted, "Meet the enemy!" Meet the enemy! ”

Dong Jun's soldiers got up in terror, and they were already in a mess, unable to effectively organize the defense.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about anything else, grabbed a horse, and fled.

He has been in battle for a long time, and he does not know that there is no power to resist in this situation, so he can only flee as soon as possible.

Niu Fu was a little stupid, hurriedly gathered the soldiers, and met Le Jin.

Le Jin was blocked by Niu Fu and rushed to kill, only Dong Zhuo in his eyes.

He only brought 3,000 people, such a godsend, how could he miss it!

But Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were too many and scattered, making it impossible for him to move smoothly.

With all his might, Le Jin split Niu Fu, and shouted with his soldiers and horses: "Kill Dong Zhuo!" ”

The soldiers behind him shouted, some of them covered up Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and some of them followed Le Jin to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo only took a small number of soldiers with him and fled in a hurry.

When he turned back and saw the dust not far away, he was frightened, and kept beating his horse and galloping.

One chase and one catch, all at full speed.

One wants to run for his life, the other wants to kill.

Overhead, the sun was blazing, the light was dazzling, the dust was flying on the official road, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

Dong Zhuo saw Le Jin catching up, and angrily hit the horse, and at the same time shouted at the guards beside him: "Stop him!" ”

The guards turned their horses' heads when they heard the sound, and more than twenty people greeted Lejin.

Le Jin was like an arrow from the string, swinging a knife and slashing, rushing all the way through more than 20 people, although he was stopped, but seeing that Dong Zhuo was alone, he hit the horse harder.

"Dong Zhuo, suffer death!"

Le Jin put away his long knife, took an arrow and drew his bow, and shot at Dong Zhuo one arrow at a time.

Dong Zhuo looked back, his expression was frightened and gloomy, and he hit the horse harder.

Le Jin shot a few arrows, but when he saw that he didn't hit, he hit his horse again and chased after him.

Dong Zhuo ran wildly all the way, and there was actually a bamboo forest.

Obviously unable to get rid of it, Dong Zhuo rushed into the forest, tried his best to control it, got off the horse, hit the horse hard, and let the horse run forward.

He went into the bamboo forest, but found that the bamboo forest was not big, and there was a lake behind the forest, so he couldn't hide, listening to the sound of Lejin's hooves getting closer and closer, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and quietly walked into the water.

Just after he entered the water, the sound of Lejin's horse's hooves seemed to explode in his ears, accompanied by Lejin's loud drink.

"Dong Zhuo, old thief, suffer death!"

Listening to Le Jin's murderous words, Dong Zhuo's fat body squatted, and the whole person sank into the water.

Le Jin passed through the bamboo forest, and it didn't take long for him to look at the empty war horse, his expression was shocked, he turned around, shuttled back and forth, and stayed in the bamboo forest.

Le Jin looked cold, stared for a while, jumped off the horse, carried a knife, and walked in cautiously.

There are really not many bamboo forests, and it takes only a dozen steps to see everything clearly.

Le Jin didn't find Dong Zhuo, he was anxious and angry, walked quickly through the lake, and chased forward.

Dong Zhuo hid in the grass by the lake, and his ears clearly heard the footsteps of Le Jin.

He closed his breath tightly, his eyes were wide open, regardless of sourness, staring at the surface of the lake, until the sound of Lejin's footsteps was far away, and after waiting for a while, Dong Zhuo cautiously popped his head out and showed his eyes.

After making sure that there was no one, he rushed out of the water and gasped for air.

His old face was flushed, his head was full of water and grass, and he was dressed in a gorgeous dress clinging to his clothes, very embarrassed.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about this, moved ashore, and fled on foot from another road in the direction of Feiting.

Le Jin chased and lost Dong Zhuo, and he was resentful, so he could only collect his troops and go to join Guo Jia.

Early the next morning, Lejin joined Guo Jia, passed through the state of Chen, and retreated to Yingchuan County.

Guo Jia drank strong tea, in a good mood, glanced at Le Jin's still guilty and self-reproachful expression, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't care, I didn't expect to kill Dong Zhuo, otherwise I would have gone personally." ”

Guo Jia really didn't think about it like this, he just wanted to ambush once, avenge Cao Cao, and give Jia Xu a color.

Who would have expected that Dong Zhuo would really run out of Qian County and personally lead troops to rescue Xiang County.

Hit the right and missed the opportunity, providence.

Le Jin's face was slightly better, and he said: "Military advisor, the last general heard that the general went to Zhang Gongna and was detained by Zhang Gong?" ”

Guo Jia's smile disappeared and nodded silently.

After Cao Cao's defeat, the governor took the initiative to go to Xu County to meet Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen didn't say a word, and put Cao Cao under house arrest in Xu County.

Le Jin was taken aback and said, "Really? Strategist, the general will be fine, right? ”

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "Except for Your Majesty, no one dares to do anything to the general." In addition, Le Duwei almost captured Dong Zhuo alive, and the merits and demerits are offset, so there should be no hindrance. ”

When Le Jin heard this, he breathed a big sigh of relief, and his demeanor smiled.

Guo Jia took a sip of tea, rode a horse, and swayed, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Cao Cao's defeat this time was actually not a bad thing for Cao Cao himself.

Although the government and the opposition will not give up holding Cao Cao responsible, Cao Cao's defeat and loss of troops will also reassure the court and will not put Cao Cao to death.

On the contrary, because of the fall of Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo's occupation of Yuzhou, Cao Cao may be 'reused'!

However, the current situation is not a good thing for the imperial court. ’

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of condensation.

Dong Zhuo occupied Yuzhou, Yuan Shaoyangzhou, Sun Jian was still fighting with Lü Bu for Xuzhou, and Jingzhou was in the hands of Liu Biao, Jiaozhi fell into the hands of Shixie, and Yizhou Mu was Liu Yan, and Liangzhou was occupied by Sanqiang.

The current situation has become a division of the world between the princes and the Han Dynasty!

The imperial court, will it send troops to conscript?

The troops are dispatched, and the little vitality that has been recovered after several years of hard work will be emptied in an instant, and under the internal and external troubles, the situation will be more dangerous than before Zhongping!

'Your Majesty in the palace, how will he choose?' ’

Guo Jia tasted the bitter strong tea and thought silently in his heart.

Thinking about the same problem as Guo Jia, there is also Jia Xu.

Jia Xu, who was in Qian County, soon learned the news of Dong Zhuo's ambush.

Sitting at the head of the city, he drank tea slowly, and whispered to himself: "I thought of it before. ”

He actually thought that Dong Zhuo was in danger before, but he was delayed by that little blood stain.

"Guo Fengxiao?"

Jia Xu looked to the north, as if he could see Guo Jia.

This Guo Jia is obviously not a loser, it stands to reason that Guo Jia should have gone north to rescue Cao Cao, but he killed a horse pistol and almost killed Dong Zhuo!

This is a difficult and dangerous opponent!

Jia Xu drank tea leisurely, thinking about the situation in Jiangdong, and thought about the 'overall situation' like Guo Jia.

This bureau is really big, so big that it covers the entire Han Dynasty, and even includes the surrounding Yi tribes!

Jia Xu thought carefully for a long time, but still shook his head and said, "The Han family will die after four hundred years." ”

From beginning to end, he deduced almost all possibilities, and he couldn't find the possibility that the Han Dynasty could continue to live.

In recent decades, the Han Dynasty has exhausted the national capital, and the hearts of the people in the world have 'left the Han Dynasty', looking forward to changing the dynasty, the emergence of a new co-owner, and rebuilding China!

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were just thinking, but the real problem smashed in the sky over Luoyang and fell inside and outside the imperial city.

For Cao Cao's sudden attack and defeat, everyone was unexpected.

In particular, the Great Sima Mansion successively gave orders to the garrisons of Hanzhong, Sili, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places, ordering them to be ready for battle.

And Shangshutai also held an urgent meeting, and after discussing a rough discussion, Xun Yu, the prime minister of Shangshutai, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, and Sima Jun, the governor of Shangshutai, all entered the Chongde Palace.

In addition, there are Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, and Da Sima Liu Yu.
