Chapter 83 Cao Mengde Ma Yueluoshui

The matter of closure of the rear is actually a tiring job. Because Dong Zhuo is now retreating with the advantage, the possibility of the coalition forces pursuing is very small. In theory, it should be pursued, but in fact, who dares to chase the princes who have seen Lu Bu's cavalry level?

The person responsible for the culprit is actually to sweep the tail, and to take away the things left in Luoyang City, and burn them away if they cannot be taken away. Well, putting a torch before leaving to burn the ancient capital is the order accepted by Lu Bu and Xu Rong, and this order is the main one.

After realizing that Dong Zhuo withdrew, the coalition forces acted as expected and did not see it. Until now, everyone actually didn't want to fight, including Lu Bu, who is known for his war, whose wound on his chest had just scabbed. The breakout outside Hulao Pass consumed too much of his spirit and energy. Although he agreed to Xu Rong to ask for his order to "cut the rear", it was actually just a formality to bring his friendship with Xu Rong closer.

But some people want to make this complicated.

"I first thought that I should pursue you at this time. No matter whether it can be achieved or not, it is also an attitude we have shown to the people of the world. If it can be severely damaged, it will be the best. Even if it cannot, we will be worthy of this alliance to challenge Dong." Cao Cao looked at the princes in the tent and chatted loudly, and suddenly felt that he was out of place with these people, so he came to Yuan Shao and whispered.

Most of the time to chase, they will lose, but if they don’t chase, the feeling that this alliance will give people is not that Dong Zhuo was repelled by them, but that Dong Zhuo lost a bone, and then a group of them rushed forward with a scream. The scene made Cao Cao unacceptable. If so, it would be better to give it a try. Even if they lose, it would be the decent face of the princes.

Moreover, Cao Cao calculated that in this pursuit, each family would be able to do some troops. Even if they were defeated, everyone would not suffer much loss, but they could all gain reputation. Compared with the reputation they gained, the amount of troops lost is actually nothing.

But Cao Cao thought so, and others may not be willing to continue to bear this loss.

"In this battle, there were tens of thousands of people who died in Lu Bu alone. All the Dukes were exhausted and had no intention of fighting again. What should I do about this matter in the future?" Yuan Shao shook his head. In fact, the gap between the two sides was very obvious. Compared with the bravery and good at fighting in the Western Liang army, there were few coalition forces that could compete except for the Baima Yicong and Sun Jian's Changsha army brought by Gongsun Zan. If there weren't few soldiers in Xiliang, it would not be certain whether the coalition forces could resist until now. In Yuan Shao's view, pursuing such a thing is simply asking for trouble, and there is no need to do so.

What explanation do people in the world want? They are all about to take down Luoyang, which is not the best explanation? Why do you still have to do these thankless things?

"What the leader said is right. Meng De, even though he knew he would be defeated, why should the soldiers die for no reason? This is unkind!" Kong Rong frowned.

"How can war be judged by benevolence and righteousness?" Cao Cao looked at everyone and explained, "At this time, Dong Zhuo retreated, holding the emperor in his hand, and innately occupying the great righteousness, we are already at a disadvantage in the great righteousness. If we do not pursue it, we will express our attitude. In the future, Dong Zhuo will order you with the emperor's edict. Should you accept it or not? If you accept it, wouldn't it be an injustice to tell the people of the world that our alliance is vowed to fight Dong? If we do not accept it, what name will we refuse to accept it?"

Although I can't beat you, this is my attitude. I don't recognize you in name, so if you send me an imperial edict and don't see you, even if you send troops directly, you can fight again, and it's not a good thing.

But even if you don’t even beat him, you will be too much to say, which can be understood as a shaking hand and making peace with each other, or it can be understood as reaching a certain consensus. However, as long as the emperor is still in Dong Zhuo’s hands, Dong Zhuo will have reason to ask the princes to do things in the name of the emperor. If you are not respectful, it will be a common challenge for the whole world to fight against it, or it can be called using the emperor to command the princes. The gap between them is quite large.

"Meng De's words are too alarmist." Tao Qian smiled and said, "Now Dong Zhuo retired to Guanzhong, he is showing weakness. How can he still have the face to do this? This statement cannot be said again!"

The rest of the people also persuaded Cao Cao not to be too excited. Anyway, it is impossible to send troops again. What if Dong Zhuo is unhappy and comes back to fight them in a decisive battle?

Even Lu Bu couldn't stand it.

"Wait..." Cao Cao looked at these people and he understood. No one saw the overall situation, or he didn't care if he saw it. He waved his sleeves and threw Tao Qian away from the side, and snorted angrily: "I am not good at making a plan!"

After saying that, he just shook his sleeves and left. This pursuit still had to be pursued, even if it was just a pretentious look.

At that moment, we ordered all the troops to send troops out of the city and headed straight to Hangu Pass. The best situation is that Dong Zhuo's army has left. It is enough to seize some of the falling weapons, and the battle flag is enough. However, it is mostly unrealistic. Cao Cao estimated that the other side would leave behind the troops, so he did not go too fast. He always paid attention to the places where there might be ambushing troops around him.

However, the ambush did not appear, and the soldiers who were cut off from behind saw it.

One was Lu Bu and the other Xu Rong. The two men Cao Cao didn't want to see were not ambushed, and they just wandered around Luoyang in a swagger. When they saw Cao Cao's pursuit, Lu Bu and Xu Rong were both surprised.

"Lord, there's really someone here!" Dian Wei rode out on a horse to take a walk with Lu Bu because of his leg injury. He was a little happy when he saw the pursuers. Where did the Guandong princes have the courage to chase them? The mobs who had never won a fight had the courage to chase a strong army that abused them from beginning to end. Are these people's brains broken?

"Kill!" Cao Cao shouted, turned his horse's head and ran away. The soldiers around him were unclear, so he rushed towards Lu Bu after he got the order.

Before Lu Bu and Xu Rong took action, the two men and horses were just a simple cross-blocking kill, and they defeated the army. Because Lu Bu was injured in his chest, he was just wandering outside the formation. However, he saw that the tent had just begun to fight and the enemy general ran away first. This operation really made Lu Bu feel a little stunned.

"Fighting~" With Dian Wei, the broken troops were commanded by Gao Shun, and Lu Bu and Dian Wei only brought their personal guards to chase Cao Cao in the direction where he left.

Cao Cao, who was running away, looked back in his busy schedule. He had seen Lu Bu's bright armor and the red rabbit Cao Cao several times. In an instant, he felt his hands and feet were cold and his scalp was numb. He sat down with a BMW with no chance.

The convenience was blocked by Luoshui. Cao Cao felt a sense of despair in his heart, but he did not stop at all, but kept wiggling the whip.

In front of Lu Bu, there was almost no safe distance in the place where he could see. In Lu Bu's shocked gaze, Cao Cao rode his horse and ran away for a while, and then rode his horse directly over Luoshui and left.

Lu Bu and Dian Wei came to the shore of Luoshui, looking at the Luoshui, which was five or six feet wide, and then looking at the other party's back as they walked away, Dian Wei said in amazement: "Lord, can your red rabbit do this?"

"Not easy~" Lu Bu stared at the other party's horse for a long time until the other party disappeared. He had a wound on his chest. Once the bow was drawn, the wound that had not been completely scabbed would collapse immediately, so he could only look at it. Otherwise, he would have shot the general and killed the general. This horse was a good horse at first glance, which would be a pity for the other party to ride.
