Chapter 67 Deadlock
Just when the Taoist merchant rescued Wang Yun and others, the five troops of the pursuit army had defeated several troops led by the Xiliang generals under Dong Zhuo! Even the Central Army General Xu Rong himself was blinded by Sun Ce in one eye, ruining half of his cheek and being temporarily detained by the Taoist merchant.
The troops of the Five Routes of Alliance won a great victory. Cao Cao originally wanted to rescue the chariots of court officials who were thrown on the battlefield by the Western Liang army, but he did not expect that at this moment, a Xiliang army with about 40,000 people rushed to the Bian River, and the big flag in the middle of his troops was embroidered with the word "Dong".
Dong Zhuo actually led his troops to come in person!
Fortunately, due to the long front line of the migrant population, Dong Zhuo only brought some troops, while the main force of the Xiliang Army and the Northern Army in Luoyang City were not present.
Even so, just Dong Zhuo’s 40,000 elite troops are enough to fight Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others now.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo's troops arrived, Cao Cao and others did not dare to neglect them. They did not care about the chariots of the officials and ministers on the battlefield. They could only quickly arrange the troops and horses, facing Dong Zhuo's army from afar, and both sides were ready to fight.
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Bao Xin and others thought that Dong Zhuo would launch an attack, but what they didn't expect was that Dong Zhuo's troops did not move.
Dong Zhuo was also hesitant at this moment. Because his main force had not arrived and the two sides were almost evenly matched, he did not dare to rush to attack. He could only put the display of troops and horses in a manner. Both sides used the battlefield as a medium to throw dozens of chariots of nobles from the court in the field of confrontation between the two sides. No one was in a hurry to take action first. He was so eager to look at each other in a long distance.
When the pottery merchants arrived, they were like this.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo's 40,000 elite troops were waiting for the game, Xu Chu and Mi Fang did not dare to neglect them, and hurriedly merged the Xuzhou army and the other four coalition forces to display one place.
On the Xiliang Army, when Dong Zhuo saw the other party coming to Xuzhou's reinforcements, he turned around and asked Li Rudao who was following him: "Didn't you say that the coalition forces of the princes have their own thoughts and will not chase them? What's going on!"
Li Ru stroked his beard and his expression was quite embarrassed.
"The Prime Minister forgives his crimes, and he underestimated these Guandong princes... I didn't expect that the coalition forces would actually send troops to chase him. Alas, I miscalculated! Miscalculated!"
Dong Zhuo snorted heavily: "It doesn't matter if you are a miscalculation. I have caused nearly 30% of the court officials to be in Chang'an! I turned back to Chang'an, but these court officials were transported to Chang'an in three directions. Otherwise, if all the coalition forces were robbed, the court would only have a bare emperor left, and even a decent court officials could not be picked out. How could I command the world?"
Li Ru hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry about the prime minister. Look, aren't the court officials still there? I'll find an opportunity to take it back!"
Dong Zhuo was so cruel that he couldn't jump up and slap Li Ru.
"What you said is easy! Our people are staring here, and the princes' soldiers are also staring at each other! The strength of the two sides is similar. If you really want to start a fight later, who knows whether you can grab it? Most of my soldiers are escorting millions of migrant people! The main force will not be able to get in the scene for a while. If the soldiers of other princes come, what will you ask me to fight with them!...You lead the troops up and grab them?!"
Facing the furious Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was not helpless to smile... This matter is really unsolvable.
While Dong Zhuo was calculating with Li Ru, the Tao merchant who had arranged his own military formation also led Wang Yun's car to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had a deep friendship with Wang Yun in Luoyang, and had secretly plotted against Dong Zhuo. He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he met.
"Wang Situ, it's you, you... are you fine?" Cao Cao was excited for a moment and stuttered a little when he spoke.
Wang Yun reluctantly supported himself to get off the car, and had no time to reminisce about Cao Cao. He said, "Meng De, what is the situation between the field? Do you have a way to save dozens of officials in this field?"
Cao Cao smiled helplessly and said, "Wang Situ, I had a chance just now... But, Dong Zhuo has already led his troops to come here. Not to mention saving all the officials, if the old thief's troops arrived, it is still a matter of whether the five princes can be safe... Today, these officials will be difficult to save."
When Wang Yun heard this, his whole body trembled slightly, and his tone of pleading in his tone of words: "Meng De! No! These are the pillars of my great man. Now I have finally had hope of having a life, so how can they get caught in the hands of the thief again? If they were taken to Chang'an by the barbarians of Xiliang, it would be better to die... Then Dong Zhe has the troops to support him, don't you? Where is Benchu? Where is Yuan Benchu? Where is Yuan Benchu??"
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao showed a lonely expression on his face, and he shook his head and said, "Yuan Benchu, and Yuan Gaolu... will not come! Wang Situ, this time he pursues Dong Zhuo, the people who can come... are already in front of you!"
Wang Yun was stunned at first when he heard this, but soon he felt the meaning of Cao Cao's words. However, seeing the old man angrily hitting his right palm with his left fist, tears seemed to flow out of his eyes, which made him look even older, and said angrily: "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu... He is not a son of man!"
Seeing the old man crying, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling sad. He wanted to comfort Wang Yun, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what words to comfort him. In the end, thousands of words turned into a sigh, shaking his head and silenced.
Tao Shang was standing aside, looking at Wang Yun who was crying and crying, and felt quite sympathetic. Seeing his former friends and colleagues being sandwiched between them by soldiers like wolves and tigers, Wang Yun's pain can be imagined.
"Mr. Tao..."
A gentle sound suddenly sounded, and the pottery turned around and looked at it, but Diao Chan leaned out of the car and nodded at the pottery.
The Tao merchant quietly walked around, then pointed at himself and raised his eyebrows to inquire.
Diao Chan's cheeks were slightly red, and she gently lit her forehead.
The pottery walked up to the cart and said in confusion: "Miss, what's the matter?"
Diao Chan seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then she still asked Tao Shang softly: "Young Master Tao...you...do you have any way to save those court officials?"
Tanshu: “…………”
I really don’t understand why Diao Chan asked herself.
Everyone here seems to be older than him, and he is just a young man in his twenties. Cao Cao and others can't do it. How can he get the ability to save those court officials from Dong Zhuo's mouth?
Beautiful women may be very useful to ordinary people, but the pottery thinks he is a principled person. He can do what a beautiful woman asks for him, but what is the score?
It is not the style of a pottery to be swollen and fat.
"Miss Diao Chan, I think you are asking the wrong person for this matter." Tao Shang smiled friendly and refused.
