Guo Ming and Cao Hong marched slowly because they had traveled to almost every county in Yanzhou, because they had to give the farmers fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides, as well as some harvesters.

Fertilizers and pesticides can speed up crop ripening and increase grain yields, and harvesters can allow farmers to harvest crops quickly before locust infestations.

As for the insecticides, they should be able to temporarily ward off the locusts.

Just when Cao Hong and Guo Ming were out of Yanzhou, the Tanma newspaper in front reported that the Son of Heaven had returned to Luoyang after a series of turmoil, and Cao Hong also began to sincerely admire Guo Ming's judgment.

And according to the Tanmalai report, Yuan Shu's Chang Nu had already arrived in Luoyang first, but he was ordered by Yuan Shu to go to defend Luoyang.

"Xiao Ming, we have to hurry up now, Yuan Shu's subordinates have arrived."

Guo Ming looked at Cao Hong's anxious appearance, and explained: "Don't worry, even if Chang Nu wants to take away the Son of Heaven, Dong Cheng and Han Xian will not agree."

Guo Ming also asked people to raise the banner to welcome the Son of Heaven, and soon the news reached the ears of Emperor Han Xian and the ministers in the Yang An Palace.

Han Xian stood up and said: "Cao Cao sent someone to greet His Majesty, named King Tribute Qin, but in fact, he harbored Dong Zhuo's dissenting intentions and held His Majesty hostage to order the princes of the world. ”

Dong Cheng also stood up at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, what Han Xian said is not unreasonable. In the past, His Majesty fell into the hands of Li Guo and the two rebels, but the princes from all walks of life sat and watched the wall. ”

"But now, first Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu to come to comfort the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu also sent people to guard the Jingshi, and even Cao Cao, who was farthest away from us, sent people to greet him, and his purpose is self-evident."

After listening to the words of several ministers, Emperor Han Xian also felt helpless, because he was a marionette at the moment, and he was subject to others anytime and anywhere, as for how things develop, let him go.

At this moment, in Luoyang City, only Dong Cheng and Han Xian have military power, and the army sent by Yuan Shu to Chang Nu has been attributed to Dong Cheng, but the prestige of Chang Nu in the army is not low, and Dong Cheng cannot achieve military power.

Han Xian asked Emperor Han Xian to send Dong Cheng to fight Guo Ming and the two, to Emperor Han Xian's surprise, Dong Cheng accepted it happily.

The three of them have their own calculations, and Han Xian wants to use this to weaken Dong Cheng's strength, and then he will be the master of the imperial court.

Dong Cheng wanted to increase his prestige by fighting Cao Hong and Guo Ming, while repelling them, so that his power could be further consolidated, and in this way, Chang Nu would die, so as to take over his army to strengthen his own strength.

As for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he hoped that these two powerful ministers who made him uncomfortable would compete with each other on weekdays, and finally make a profit for himself and regain control of the imperial court.

Soon, Guo Ming and Cao Hong led the army to meet the armies of Dong Cheng and Chang Nu not far away.

Dong Cheng was the first to speak: "Where did you come from, the rebels and thieves, who dare to come here to disturb the Son of Heaven!" What rebellious things do you want to do? ”

Looking at Dong Cheng's upright appearance, Guo Ming felt very funny, and said lightly: "We are here to welcome the Son of Heaven and pay tribute to the Son of Heaven." ”

"Hahahaha, do you think I'll believe it? Are you here just to follow Dong Zhuo's story and want to hijack the Son of Heaven for your own use? Dong Cheng said with a disdainful face.

"Since you are loyal to the Son of Heaven, why are you here to prevent us from meeting the Son of Heaven, because you also have the intention of usurping? Or is it the heart of monopoly power, following the story of Yi Yin Huoguang? ”

Although Cao Hong didn't understand what Guo Ming and Dong Cheng were saying. But looking at Dong Chengqi's flushed face, he understood that it should be Mr. Guo Ming who was better.

With a wave of Dong Cheng's big hand, the army behind him began to charge, and Cao Hong was also very puzzled: "Why didn't this guy start charging first?" ”

"Dong Cheng's old boy is very smart, if he dares to fight us, isn't that just looking for death?"

After that, Guo Ming also began to order the battle, and pulled Cao Hong, who wanted to charge, Cao Hong asked a little puzzled: "Sir, what are you doing here, why don't you let me go to the battle, I have long been eager to try." ”

"Don't worry, General Cao Hong, you take a closer look at the opponent's military formation, the front charge formation is loose, and the rear formation is strictly guarded, and you don't need to play in person at all, and this is also Dong Cheng's intention, the purpose is to let these people die, so as to weaken Chang Nu."

"What does that mean, sir?"

"Let the general help Dong Cheng this guy, General Cao Hong, you go and kill that guy Chang Nu."

"Huh? Since Mr. knows Dong Cheng's purpose, why should we help him? Cao Hong asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because I want to see a really good show?"

Although Cao Hong was puzzled, he still did as Guo Ming instructed, and Cao Hong rushed directly into the opponent's military formation, as if entering a no-man's land.

Seeing Cao Hong attacking the Chinese army, everyone resisted Cao Hong who rushed towards him, but Cao Hong suddenly reined in his horse's head, bent his bow and took an arrow, and an arrow pierced Chang Nu's neck.

When Dong Chengjun saw this scene, he scattered and fled, and Cao Honggang wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Guo Ming.

"Sir! The enemy army is scattered, and we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we can decide in a battle and rob the Son of Heaven! ”

"No, General Cao Hong, if we rashly pursue at this time, we must have fallen into Dong Cheng's ambush, and now release the news, just say that we are marching rapidly, there is not enough food and grass, and we will withdraw in a few days."

Although Cao Hong didn't know why, he still did what Guo Ming said.

"General Cao Hong, within ten days, Dong Cheng will definitely invite us into the city, and when the time comes, the Son of Heaven will definitely be in our pocket!"

Although Cao Hong didn't know why, he knew and believed that Guo Ming was right.

As for Dong Cheng, he did set up an ambush on the retreating road, for fear that after the defeat, the Cao army would come to pursue them, so he would just get away with it.

But now Dong Cheng is saying with a handful of snot and tears: "General Changnu, you have to hold on, the doctor said, you can hold on." ”

Chang Nu looked at Dong Cheng, who was pretending to be at the moment, got up with the last strength and grabbed Dong Cheng's collar, looked at him with resentment, and then swallowed his breath.

Dong Cheng was taken aback just now, but after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth always couldn't help but rise, and he couldn't shed a single tear at all.

As for the army under Chang Nu, after Dong Cheng performed an affectionate crying scene, he was naturally taken under Dong Cheng's command, and his purpose was achieved.
