Next is the Xiliang area, there is a bandit nest. The quality of soldiers is too low, which really makes the people of Luoyang suffer.
While Yu Yi was hesitating, Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of something, turned his horse's head, looked towards Luoyang, and ordered: "We cannot take advantage of the eighteen princes. We must burn out the existing residential houses in a fire, especially
Burn all the ancestral temples and palaces!"
So the north and south palaces became a sea of fire, and the Changle palace became a scorched earth. Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu to the Mangshan north of Luoyang to dig out the coffins of the ancestors and concubines, and plundered all the treasures they buried with. Some soldiers also took advantage of the opportunity to rob the tombs and dig.
The grave and the mountains are in chaos.
Dong Zhuo loaded the stolen things onto the carriage, with a total of thousands of transport carriages, kidnapped the emperor, concubines and others, and headed towards Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo's general Zhao Cen, when he saw Dong Zhuo leading the army towards Chang'an, he presented Sishui Pass to the eighteen princes. As the vanguard, Sun Jian quickly drove the troops in, and Liu Bei and the other two killed each other.
After entering Hulao Pass, other princes also led their soldiers into it.
Sun Jian marched rapidly towards Luoyang. He saw fires soaring into the sky from a long distance, and a thick stream of black smoke rose upwards towards the sky. A deserted situation was formed in the surrounding two or three hundred miles. Sun Jian hurriedly sent soldiers.
Go to Luoyang to put out the fire, and at the same time, let the princes garrison troops on the wasteland first, and do not enter Luoyang.
After Cao Cao learned about the situation, he thought it was a very good opportunity, so he came to find the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, and said, "Now that Dong thief fled to the west, we can use the superior forces of the princes to pursue the victory, but you still do not move. What is this?
?”
Yuan Shao replied: "After several rounds of attacks, the princes' soldiers were quite tired, and it would be no benefit to march again."
Cao Cao defended: "The Dong thief burned the Han Dynasty palace and kidnapped the emperor and concubines, which shocked the world. I don't know where to join him. This is God's going to destroy him. If there is no battle at this time, the world will be
You will miss the opportunity. Are you still wondering whether to enter?"
The princes and Yuan Shao had the same idea and said: "The Dong thief moved the capital to Chang'an, and he must be prepared. If he sent troops rashly, he would inevitably be ambushed. Why don't you go there easily?"
Cao Cao was furious and said, "I am not good at making plans!"
So he led tens of thousands of people in the headquarters, as well as generals Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and others to chase Dong Zhuo in person.
After Liu Bei and the other two entered Luoyang City, their first reaction was to look for Yu Yi's whereabouts. In the ruins, Liu Bei found Yu Yi's flying knife and thought he had been buried in the sea of fire, so he burst into tears.
Guan Yu advised from the side: "Why should you be so sad? Yu Yi's personal belongings alone are not enough to judge that he is dead."
Zhang Fei also advised him, "The fourth brother, Ai Ren, has his own appearance. I'm afraid he has been taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhe, and we should continue to inquire about the news."
By the way, Dong Zhuo brought the Xiliang troops to the territory of Xingyang in a mighty manner, and the prefect Xu Rong came out to greet him in person.
Li Ru considered that there might be pursuers, so he said: "Prime Minister Dong abandoned Luoyang. In order to prevent pursuers, he could send Xu Rong to lead an army to hide beside the dock outside the city. If any pursuers arrive, he can release him.
Go over and wait until they arrive at my place before intercepting and killing, so if there are any pursuers behind them, they will not dare to come."
Dong Zhuo adopted this suggestion and sent Lu Bu to take a team of elite troops to contain the rear of the troops.
Lu Bu was rushing to his destination, and met Cao Cao's troops on the way. Lu Bu was very happy and said, "It's true that it's not as Li Ru expected!"
Lu Bu set up the soldiers to welcome Cao Cao's arrival.
When Cao Cao saw Lu Bu, he cursed: "Rebel! Hijacking the emperor and causing trouble to the people, where do you want to run?"
Lu Bu cursed: "You, a coward who is betrayed, are you so respectful to you, and you dare to talk nonsense here!"
Xiahou Dun leaped his spear and rushed directly towards Lu Bu. The two fought for less than a few rounds, and suddenly there was a shout of killing from the left. It was Li Jue who led his army to kill him. Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to welcome the enemy.
There was a rude shouting and killing on the right. Guo Si led some soldiers out, and Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to fight.
All three ambushers were extremely brave and unstoppable. Xiahou Dun could not resist the enemy Lu Bu, so he could only return to the formation. Lu Bu led the iron cavalry to cover up the killing. Cao Cao's army was defeated and could only retreat to Xingyang and leave. When he reached the foot of a barren mountain, he had already been
It was the second day of the day, and the moon was lit up very brightly, making it look like daytime, so the remaining soldiers gathered together and prepared to rest, bury the pot and cook. Before he started to move, suddenly shouted to kill him from all sides. Xu
Rong had been ambushing here for a long time and pulled out all the ambushers.
Cao Cao was in a panic and took the road to his horse. He happened to meet Xu Rong. He quickly turned his horse's head and continued running. Xu Rong took out a crossbow and shot Cao Cao in the shoulder with an arrow. Cao Cao's ninja suffered severe pain.
I fled in a hurry and came to a hillside.
There were two soldiers lying in the weeds here. When they saw Cao Cao's war horse coming, they stretched out two spears in the dark and stabbed Cao Cao's war horse. Cao Cao had to turn over and fall off the horse and was captured alive by two unknown soldiers.
Suddenly, a man rushed over on a horse, swung his sword to kill the two infantrymen, and dismounted to rescue Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw that general, it was Cao Hong. Cao Cao sighed: "I'm going to die in this place, don't you
Don't worry about me, leave quickly."
Cao Hong said: "My lord, please get on the horse, I'll walk."
Cao Cao firmly disagreed and said, "If you encounter a thief and you walk on the ground, what should you do to deal with it?"
Cao Hong advised: "There can be no more than me, Cao Hong, but you cannot be without you, lord!"
Cao Cao sighed: "If I can survive this time, it will be your credit!"
Cao Cao got on the horse, Cao Hong took off his coat, dragged his sword and walked in behind the horse. At about the fourth update, he saw a big river appearing in front of him, blocking his way.
Behind it was the sound of chasing soldiers shouting and killing. Cao Cao looked at the sky and sighed: "It seems that the sky is going to destroy me, so you can run away quickly."
Cao Hong hurried forward and helped Cao Cao get off his horse, took off his armor, and swam across the river with Cao Cao on his back, and finally swam to the other side.
After the two arrived on the other side, the pursuers arrived immediately and shot arrows on the other side through the water. Cao Cao was covered in water and continued to move forward with the help of Cao Hong.
At dawn, the two walked for more than 30 miles together and took a rest near the Tugang. Suddenly, they heard shouts around them, and a group of people rushed over. Cao Cao looked at it and it was the enemy general Xu Rong crossing the river from the upper stream.
Come and catch up.
Cao Cao was panicked for a moment, and suddenly Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led dozens of cavalry to fly over and shouted: "Xu Rong, don't hurt our lord!"
