When Lu Bu led the Northern Army to Junyi, the resistance in the city had been suppressed by Huaxiong. After all, it was just an ordinary small county. After the Xiliang Army entered the city, it did not kill heavily. Nowadays, the soldiers were in chaos. It is actually not important to the people who are loyal and treacherous. As long as they cannot survive, it is not so easy to incite.

The main thing is to suppress the gentry in the city. These people are people in the county who truly possess real power and resources. When Lu Bu asked for food, he could only ask these people for food. If you discuss it, it is probably difficult to discuss it. It would be better to just take the food out and I won’t touch you.

These gentry were not stupid either. At this time, it would be a blessing to be able to save their lives when the Xiliang army came in. Therefore, after the initial tentative resistance was suppressed by Huaxiong, these gentry Junyi retreated back to their homes and sent people to contact them, willing to exchange food for their lives.

Hua Xiong naturally couldn't make the decision. Until Lu Bu came in, he was satisfied with this result. Now he was exhausted and had fewer people. Before returning to Luoyang, he had to die less. The food and grass that could avoid confrontations and survive was naturally the best.

"Can a small county get so much food?" Hua Xiong was surprised to see the truckload of food and food pulled out. The Central Plains are really rich. If it is to be in Xiliang, a county may not be able to collect so much food at once.

"Tell the soldiers that they should eat and drink enough today, exchange food and grass for some pigs and sheep for food, and then the people bring three days of dry food and set off tomorrow morning." Lu Bu did not express his opinion on this, which is also one of the reasons why he did not make things difficult for the people. In a county town, the food of ordinary people may not be as much as that of these rich households.

"Here!" Hua Xiong agreed and continued to urge the wealthy families to pay the food.

"General, this is a map of this area." Gao Shun found a surrounding map from a wealthy family and came to Lu Bu.

Yesterday I was exhausted and pursued by pursuers. I ran nearly two hundred miles a day. Now I have to go back, but I don’t have a plan or charter.

Lu Bu took the map and expanded it to look carefully.

Although Junyi belongs to Chenliu, it is located in the border area of ​​Chenliu. Fifty miles west is Zhongmu. Zhongmu is already within the control of the coalition forces. Lu Bu chose Junyi but did not choose Zhongmu and was also worried that he would meet the main force of the coalition forces in Zhongmu. Now others are trapped and have few troops. If he really encounters a city with the main force of the coalition forces, he may not be able to capture it.

Last night, Lu Bu and his men had already reached the verge of collapse. At that time, they were looking for a temporary habitat, so Junyi was naturally more suitable than Zhongmu.

Now that Jun Yi has been easily taken down, Lu Bu has more time to think about it. What should he do next?

Of course, I have to go back, but how to go back? I came two hundred miles away, but no matter whether Hulao Pass was lost or not, I obviously could not go to Hulao Pass anymore.

"Now we are going back to Luoyang, there are two ways to choose from." Lu Bu asked someone to recruit Hua Xiong. Now in this army, only Gao Shun and Hua Xiong can discuss it. It is related to everyone's lifeline, so naturally we cannot leave Hua Xiong. After gestured on the map, Lu Bu pondered: "One is to cross the river by Fengqiu, detour through Henoi, cross the river directly from Henoi to Mengjin, and go to Luoyang by Mengjin, and go to Kaifeng to enter Songshan. There are Arc deputies, Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass and Yique Pass to enter Heluo. You two think, where should we go?"

It is very close to Hanoi, almost straight. If it goes well, you can return to Luoyang in two days. If you walk on Songshan and go around for a long time, it will take as long as four or five days to arrive. This is based on the fact that the coalition forces will not send troops to intercept them.

"At the end, the general thought it was time to go to Kaifeng." Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "One is that the river has thawed now, and it is difficult to cross the river; and moreover, the Hanoi was destroyed by the Taishi last year, so the coalition forces must be on guard. Moreover, there are several places where coalition troops are stationed along the way. Instead, they go to Songshan, which seems far away, but the coalition forces along the way are lax. Moreover, the main forces of the coalition forces are mostly stationed in Xingyang and Hulao, so they notice the movements of our army. We have few soldiers and are mainly cavalry, so we can easily get rid of them."

After getting rid of the pursuers of the coalition, the few people are now Lu Bu's advantage, fast action and small goals. Even if the coalition wants to chase them, unless the army is transferred to set up a net of heaven and earth, it will be difficult for a small number of enemy troops to surround them. Instead, they go to Hanoi and accidentally attract the attention of the main force of the coalition forces, they may be surrounded and blocked. There is a place where the coalition forces are stationed.

Lu Bu nodded, Gao Shun's thoughts were similar to his, and he looked up and looked at Hua Xiong.

"..." Hua Xiong glanced at Lu Bu in a daze, then realized: "This is the same as the general. It is probably not enough to just walk this way and only carry three daily food and grass."

"There are cities on the road, so just borrow some food and grass from the wealthy families along the way." Lu Bu was not worried about this. Not to mention the city, any fort built by a gentry was enough to raise some food and grass for the soldiers.

"What the general said makes sense." Hua Xiong thought about it, if he could starve to death if he was in this wealthy Central Plains and had strong soldiers in his hands, then they would not have to mess up.

...

In Luoyang, Li Su had returned to Luoyang and killed Hu Zhen and reported to Dong Zhuo that the matter of Hua Xiong was informed.

"Hu Zhen misled the matter! He was a general of me!" Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard Li Su say that the battle at Hulao Pass was in trouble. He slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Come here, immediately order Xu Rong to rush to Chenggao and capture Hu Zhen. If he dares to resist and kill him on the spot, Xu Rong will take over Chenggao and be sure to defend it!"

Dong Zhuo had no hope of whether Hu Zhen could defend Chenggao. He also climbed from the bottom to his current position step by step. Hu Zhen used this to harm his chief general. If the soldiers under his command could work together, there would be a ghost. He wanted to defeat the coalition forces before leaving, so that the coalition forces understood that he was not retreating to Guanzhong because he was afraid of the coalition forces.

Unexpectedly, before the main force set out, the general he had finally captured was killed by Hu Zhen. Even though Hu Zhen was a direct descendant of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo regretted that Hu Zhen would be the deputy general of Lu Bu. He wanted to use Hu Zhen to give Lu Bu some restrictions. After all, Lu Bu's loyalty now remains to be verified, but Dong Zhuo did not think about harming Lu Bu, otherwise why would he have spent so much effort to attract him?

Hu Zhen is not good at fighting, and he is very cruel to his own people. If Hu Zhen is here at this time, Dong Zhuo would definitely chop him up with one knife to relieve his hatred!

However, before Xu Rong could order his troops out of the city, the news of the loss of Hulao Pass was transmitted back to Luoyang.

"Bad!" Dong Zhuo cursed angrily and shouted fiercely: "I ordered Xu Rong to continue leaving the city. This time I will lead the army to fight alone!"
