Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this. The anger in his heart was like a bucket of cold water being poured on his head. All his temper and anger were washed away.

The pottery merchant raised his head, looked at the roof of Sun Jian's commander's tent, and said as if talking to himself: "Luoyang City was burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo. Going in now, to put it bluntly, is just picking up the leftover things, but it is not a pleasant thing to say.

, after four generations and three princes, how can you be so embarrassed? After much deliberation, I can only find a fat and thin person who is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom to explore the way first. "

Sun Jian was silent for a while, then looked up at the potter with a resentful look, and said hoarsely: "Sun, I look wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, fat and thin... do you think I am an animal?"

Tao Shang shook his head and denied: "I didn't say that. Tao just wanted to express that Sun Fujun has been used as a sword and spear by Yuan Shu, and you still don't know it? You killed the Jingzhou governor and the Nanyang governor, and all the princes expressed their disapproval.

You have long been afraid, but you are good at using troops, so when they conquered Dong Zhuo, they had to use you to charge into the battle! Now that Dong Zhuo has escaped, the princes have no intention of continuing to pursue them. Soon, it will be time to annex each other and fight against each other... Mr. Sun Fu is full of misdeeds.

, I wonder if I will fall into the spotlight?”

Tao Shang's words finally touched a tight chord in Sun Jian's heart!

This string is like a thorn. Ever since he lost Yuan Shu's trust in Yingchuan, it has pierced Sun Jian's heart deeply and has become a pain point that he still has unresolved.

After cooperating with Yuan Shu back then, Sun Jian relied on his fierce power to offend people everywhere without fear of anything... Later, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had sown many evil consequences.

Through what happened at Kong Niao in Yangzhai last time, Sun Jian also saw that Yuan Shu was just using him, and he never knew when he would turn against him. Now in this land of the Central Plains, looking around, he couldn't find a single ally...

…

Not a single ally to be found...

etc……

Sun Jian suddenly raised his head and saw Tao Shang looking at him with a smile. Like a living Bodhisattva who saves all living beings, he stretched out his receptive hands and showed a warm embrace to Sun Jian...

"Follow us to chase Dong Zhuo. No matter whether we win or not, we will win the reputation of the world's scholars! By then, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Liu Bei and I, together with Sun Fujun, will win the reputation of the world's scholars.

, he is a representative of the faction that supports the Han Dynasty! To put it bluntly, even if we are not in the same camp, people in the world will put us in the same camp!"

Sun Jian took a deep breath, passed the last words of Tao Shang, and finally made up his mind!

He reached out and slowly pulled out the sword from the table, and ordered Huang Gai word by word.

"Public prosecution...order troops!"

…

…

"Dong dong dong dong!"

On the main road leading to the west of Luoyang, all five armies of soldiers and horses were gathered together, with swords and guns standing everywhere, and drums and noises blaring.

All the soldiers and horses of the five families are here, including:

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin has fifteen thousand soldiers and horses.

Xuzhou pottery merchant Mi Fang led ten thousand troops.

Cao Cao, the commander of the heroic cavalry, led an army of five thousand...Although Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, did not go out on the expedition himself, he sent his subordinate Wei Zi to follow Cao Cao in pursuit and assisted him in dispatching five thousand troops.

Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, led 25,000 troops.

Liu Bei, under Gongsun Zan's command, had three hundred troops.

Soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered here, waiting to pursue Dong Zhuo to the west.

"Go!" Cao Cao pulled out his sword and issued an order to Xiahou Dun beside him.

Xiahou Dun raised the spear in his hand, and the messenger behind him immediately raised the flag in his hand.

The sound of horns was followed by the blowing of the flag, and an army of more than 60,000 people, led by the cavalry of each army, rushed forward along the road!

The generals headed by them, including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, a relative of Cao Cao's clan, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Bao Xin's brother Bao Zhong and eight forward generals led the troops forward bravely.

Tao Shang and several other princes were sitting in the central army. Seeing this forward lineup, they couldn't help but secretly squeaked. Although the number of troops on their side was not as good as Dong Zhuo's, the forwards were all outstanding men who would become famous and powerful in the future... No.

Strong generals are the stuff of handsome men, but now they are not well-known, so they cannot be reused in front of the coalition of princes.

It is not until this small group is formed that they can truly have room to perform.

With this vanguard lineup, even if Dong Zhuo sends Lu Bu, it will be in vain... Just beating Lu Bu is even a bit too easy. Tao Shang personally thinks that Lu Bu plus can be brutally killed.

The cavalry front army led by eight vanguard generals has disappeared, and the various branches of the Chinese army led by five Chinese army commanders have also begun to move forward one after another.

The potter had never ridden so fast before. After running for a while, he felt that the skin on the inside of his thighs was being worn out. Moreover, after running in the splits for such a long time, he felt that his legs were about to cramp.

But there is nothing we can do about it. We are now in the pursuit stage. Every inch of time is worth every inch of money. Pursuing the enemy is all about racing against time. Otherwise, they would not put their elite cavalry in the front to deal with the enemy first.

Able to catch up with enemies at the fastest speed in the shortest possible time, entangle them, and wait for subsequent support.

Therefore, even if Tao Shang protested and asked to dismount his horse and shake his legs for a while, the other princes would probably not pay attention to him... With Sun Jian's dog temper, they might even come up and kick him.

I don’t know how long I ran, but finally a scout from the front came back to report.

"Repay...!"

Cao Cao reined in his horse, stopped, looked at the scout with bright eyes and said, "Speak!"

The scouts gathered together and said: "Report! We have seen the people at the rear of the Luoyang relocation team in the front. There are about tens of thousands of people, and there are more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry! The vanguard cavalry has already started a confrontation with the enemy!"

Cao Cao nodded and turned to look at Sun Jian.

Sun Jian knew what Cao Cao meant, nodded knowingly, and then ordered: "Order the vanguard army to break through the enemy's formation quickly. There is no need to entangle with the enemy troops too much. The thousands of Xiliang troops are not worth mentioning. We and other central troops will gather together to annihilate them in a while."

"

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, the scout turned around and accelerated towards the front.

Liu Bei looked at the direction in which the scouts disappeared, with an unusually serious look on his face, and said: "It seems that we will soon catch up with Dong Zhuo's migration team. Although the enemy forces are scattered, we must not be careless! We still need to be more careful.

superior!"

Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with Liu Bei's opinion, and then urged the troops to go on their way.

Bao Xin and the pottery merchant advanced side by side. While driving his horse, he turned to the pottery merchant and asked: "Master Tao, this time we send out troops, the troops are divided into two groups. The vanguard cavalry in the front is one group, and we lead the infantry with crossbows.

In one team, Dong Zhuo's army has 200,000 people scattered among the migrating people for more than a hundred miles. In your opinion, what are the chances of winning with such a strategy?"

To a potter, this sounds more or less sophisticated.

Bao Xin meant to give him some pointers.

But in this situation, his legs were tired and painful from the intensification of bumps, and the pottery merchant was really not in the mood to discuss these things... he just wanted to deal with it briefly.

While holding the horse's belly tightly with his legs, the potter raised the whip in his hand, pointed it into the distance, and shouted: "This time, we use loyal and righteous troops to pursue the tyrannical people, and use the king's division to fight against the unjust army. Since ancient times, evil spirits have

If we don't suppress the enemy, even though we and King Qin's army are outnumbered and defeated, we will definitely be able to return with a great victory, rescue the emperor, and return to Luoyang... Moreover, with all the generals using their troops like gods, how can we defeat the likes of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu?

?”

After saying that, he pointed his riding whip forward and said loudly: "The whole army goes west, follow the princes to kill the thieves!"

Behind Tao Shang, Sun Jian's lips curled up involuntarily.

"Boy..." Sun Jian called out to the potter.

"What's the matter?" The pottery merchant turned around.

Raising his finger and pointing in another direction, Sun Jian said gloomily: "The west is over there."

"oh!"

The potter smiled and expressed his gratitude, and pointed in the direction designated by Sun Jian: "The whole army goes west, follow the princes to kill the thieves!"

Seeing the pottery merchant's perfunctory look, Bao Xin wished he could reach out and slap him twice.

At this time, I suddenly heard Cao Cao in front shouting: "Everyone, look ahead!"

Everyone looked up and saw that a long team could be seen walking slowly on the official road in front of them. Under the sunlight, the team pulled out long lines of figures on the ground.

There were about 100,000 people who had fallen behind the relocation team, supporting the old and the young. They were being scolded and beaten from time to time by a group of Xiliang soldiers armed with swords, guns and weapons. They were carrying luggage and pushing wheeled carts, following step by step.
