Chapter 45 Chasing Dong Zhuo
Who would have known that this damned Yang Ming was killed yesterday, and today Sun Jian and the others came to kill him. It was too fast, and it blinded Mr. Dong and the bear!
He thought to himself, isn't this Yang Ming very powerful? He snatched away all my troops of one hundred thousand men. Why is he so vulnerable now? How did this happen? Why couldn't he stop his seventy thousand soldiers for even one day?
Could it be that I cut off their food and grass, made all their soldiers so hungry that they were as weak as chickens, unable to fight, and then were killed by the coalition of princes?
It’s broken! It’s broken! Oh my, I’ve suffered a big loss now. As the saying goes, you have to give up two taels of chaff to catch a sparrow. I’m really stingy. If I give Yang Ming some food, he can hold off for a few more days.
We won't let Sun Jian's traitor be so arrogant now, he's almost beating us to the doorstep!
He quickly sent an order to Li Jue, asking him to take his 30,000 cavalry infantry to abandon Hulao Pass and come to Luoyang City to escort him back to Chang'an.
There are still more than 10,000 defeated troops at Sishui Pass. In addition, there are 30,000 cavalry and infantry led by Niu Fu at Hangu Pass heading west to Chang'an, and 50,000 new soldiers led by Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo still has more than 100,000 troops under his command.
Be at peace.
He calmed down and immediately ordered to kill all the more than 60 members of Yuan Wei's family and hang their bodies on the top of Luoyang City for public display! I just want everyone in the world to know that I will kill anyone who dares to make things difficult for me.
The whole family!
The little thief Yuan Shao is now leading the troops to deal with him. What he can do is to kill his uncle Yuan Kai's family first to show this boy that rebellion will lead to the destruction of all nine tribes!
The city of Luoyang was now desolate, and Lu Bu himself was ruthless. Under his orders, these new soldiers acted like wolves and tigers, forcing the entire city to move to Chang'an.
While driving people away, he also prevented the fire. Anyone who dared not leave would be burned to death. The panicked officials and people of Luoyang saw Lu Bu's lack of humanity and rushed out of their homes and rushed to Chang'an.
Old man Cai Yong, with tears streaming down his face, was walking forward in a carriage, followed by his daughter Cai Yan and several carriages belonging to his family servants, mingling with the rioters, heading straight for Chang'an.
"Oh my god! What kind of world is this! So many people are living well in Luoyang City, why do they have to go to Chang'an at just one order! Why doesn't this Dong Xiangguo discuss things with us veterans!" Cai Yong
I was so angry that I burst into tears.
He also saw the fire in Luoyang behind him. Dong Xiangguo was committing evil! So many beautiful houses in Luoyang City and the Han Dynasty Palace that had been passed down for hundreds of years were burned down like this. What a pity!
After all, Cai Yong was the commander-in-chief of the court, and no soldiers dared to disrespect them, so he calmly drove a few carriages on the road, which was much better than others!
Pedestrians on the road were walking on foot under the scorching sun. If anyone dared to walk slowly, fierce Xiliang soldiers would come and give them a whip. All they could hear were cries of pain and curses.
"Miss, where are we going? Why do I see the people are crying!" Xiao Qing sat in the carriage and stretched out her head to look around from time to time.
"Going to Chang'an, eh..." Cai Yan said with a pale face. She had lost a lot of weight in the past few months.
"Oh, miss, I see you are unhappy. Are you missing our big brother Yang Ming again?" Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you still want me to screw you?" Cai Yan's face brightened when he heard Yang Ming's name.
"Hmph! If you screw me, I won't tell you the news about Brother Yang Ming that I learned from the coachman!" Xiao Qingmei stared and threatened.
"you!"
Cai Yan's face turned cold, then turned red again. After a while, she grabbed Xiao Qing's arm with her little hands and twisted it hard.
"Ah, miss! Hahaha! I said it's not okay!" Xiaoqing laughed.
"Uncle Coachman said, Brother Yang Ming is amazing. The Huaxia City he built has more people living in it than Luoyang City. Where everyone can have enough to eat, they are not as pitiful as us Luoyang City people!
"Xiao Qing slowly told Cai Yan about Yang Ming.
Xiaoqing said, people in Luoyang are saying that it seems that City Lord Yang Ming fought two battles with Dong Xiangguo and won both, and also arrested countless Xiliang soldiers and civilians. Dong Xiangguo didn't seem to be angry at all. Not only was he promoted to City Lord Yang
He was an official and gave him countless money and food. Many people came to see him, and thousands of carts entered Huaxia City.
"Miss, don't you think it's strange? I know that Brother Yang loves to extort people's money, but how could he let Dong Xiangguo give him so much money and food? I heard that Dong Xiangguo raided the entire city of Luoyang for this. Is he afraid of Yang?
Big brother?" Xiaoqing wondered.
"Nonsense, does Brother Yang have three heads and six arms? Is there anything to be afraid of?" Cai Yan said.
She thought to herself, this Yang Ming seems to have never calmed down. Now the people in Luoyang City are talking about him. How strange!
"Why do I feel that this Dong Xiangguo is so mean! Brother Yang beat him and robbed his people, but he gave Brother Yang money and food instead, right, miss! This is not the same as when we robbed those robbers!"
"Haha, you girl, you are the only one who likes to make random guesses!" Cai Yan said with a smile.
"Oh, what a pity. Brother Yang robbed Dong Xiangguo of so much money and food. The two of us are considered the main members of the male and female evil forces, but it is such a pity that we were not present! There are thousands of cars, how much does that cost?" Xiao Qing
Regretfully.
"Haha, you damn girl, you still remember that you are a robber, haha!" Cai Yan said with a smile.
"Miss, we went to Chang'an this time. It will be difficult to see Brother Yang again in the future!"
"Well."
Cai Yan felt a pain in his heart and secretly blamed Yang Ming. Even if my father didn't let you enter my house, you are so powerful in martial arts that you can easily climb over the wall. Why don't you take a look at me?
Such a cruel person! Does he not have himself in his heart? Thinking of this, the corners of her eyes became moist.
"It would be great if you married Brother Yang, miss! Actually...it's all Master Cai's fault. I heard that Brother Yang came to find you, but Master Cai kicked him out!" Xiao Qing also had eyes open at this time.
red.
"Really? Why didn't I know! When did it happen?" Cai Yan asked anxiously, with tears rolling down his face.
"Master Cai told us not to let you know what happened a month ago!" Xiao Qing also cried.
"Well!"
Cai Yan felt miserable in his heart. It seemed that he and Yang Ming were destined to have no connection. If he went to Chang'an, he might never see him again in his life.
Seeing the carriage getting further and further away from Luoyang City, Cai Yan felt more and more sad, and her sobs slowly turned into tears, and she and Xiao Qing cried together!
Watching the carriage and people passing through the tall Hangu Pass, the two daughters Cai Yan and Xiaoqing felt despair in their hearts.
***
Just when Dong Lao Xiong was worried about whether Yang Ming's Chinese army would starve to death, Yang Ming's army had already arrived at Hulao Pass.
There was no one on the high wall, and there were many birds circling over Xiongguan. The interior of the pass was completely silent, with not a single sound of people or horses neighing.
What's going on? Is this kid Li Jue trying to trick me into planning an empty city? No matter what the hell your plan is, I have to rush to rescue Cai Yan. I can't care about so much anymore, so I'll attack the city in one go!
"Lord, there seems to be no one inside!" Huang Zhong stepped forward to hold Yang Ming and said softly.
"Huh? Send a few people over to take a look!" Yang Ming ordered.
Huang Zhong took the order and called a few clever soldiers to investigate. He closed the door ajar and opened it with a push. It was deserted inside and there was no one there!
"No! The generals have all fled with Thief Dong! Huang Zhong leads your army division to stay and guard Hulao Pass for me!" Yang Ming ordered.
"Yes! Lord, don't worry, as long as I am here, Hulao Pass will be impregnable!" Huang Zhong shouted loudly.
"Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Cao Xing, come with me and take three days of dry food to chase Dong's army!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yun and the three generals replied in unison.
"Xu Rong, I order you to lead our army division and slowly pursue us to Hangu Pass!"
"Yes!" Xu Rong responded loudly.
"Wang Yue Gao Shun, I order you to lead your troops to escort the prisoners and supplies to Huaxia City, and obey General Xu Huang to guard Huaxia City!"
"Follow your orders"
Yang Ming led three cavalry divisions, and after preparing dry food and water bags, the army set off and headed straight for Hangu Pass.
They threw away the infantry and moved much faster. They kept running non-stop along the way, with thousands of horses galloping and sending up smoke and dust all over the sky. It looked very spectacular!
As we get closer and closer to Luoyang, we can slowly see the raging fire burning half of the sky red. We can still vaguely hear the miserable voices mixed with the fire. The entire city of Luoyang is shrouded in black smoke and flames, like a ghost town!
"Thief Dong! I will kill you if I catch you!"
Yang Ming looked at the miserable scene in the distance and suddenly felt a deep hatred for Dong Zhuo!
In the past, I only knew that Luoyang was burned to ashes by the fire and didn't take it seriously. But now that I saw the tragedy of the scene with my own eyes, Yang Ming's body started to tremble. Only now did he realize what a heinous crime Dong Zhuo had committed!
"Traitor, so cruel and inhumane!" Zhao Yun was also furious at the side.
"Let's go! Let's catch up with this old thief quickly!" Yang Ming ordered.
These cavalrymen took a short rest and continued on their way. The closer they got to Luoyang City, the stronger the burning smell became. The Chinese troops covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and galloped forward.
In the evening, Yang Ming and others finally saw a large group of Xiliang soldiers driving away refugees, walking slowly on the road, and suddenly led the team to pounce on them!
These Xiliang soldiers had long seen a large group of cavalry coming with yellow smoke. Although there were many of them, they were too scattered. They were killed by the Chinese cavalry and fled in all directions.
Although Zhao Yun and the others were exhausted after traveling for a day, these Xiliang soldiers were not relaxed either. They had driven hundreds of thousands of refugees here in one day and were exhausted.
When they drew their bows and arrows and slashed with their swords, they found that they could not hurt these heavily armored cavalry at all. Instead, they were called out one by one with powerful crossbows, and soon they suffered heavy casualties.
These soldiers were originally new recruits. They had only been recruited and trained by Lu Bu for a few months. Facing Yang Ming's heavy cavalry who were armed to the teeth, they were defeated in a single charge.
Yang Ming waved his big gun and rushed forward. He shot one by one and slapped him back and forth. He was also killing happily. Although he didn't have any special tricks, he was more powerful than anyone else. He couldn't kill anyone with his big gun.
Will!
