Take the department store back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46
Hulao Pass has already been planted with the flags of the eighteen princes.

But the coalition soldiers did not have much joy.

This is just an empty pass city, and the black smoke column floating in the air in the far distance is shocking.

The imperial capital is still burning.

The princes were also in a bad mood. They led the main force and started marching towards Luoyang without staying for a while.

Hulao Pass is not too far from Luoyang, about 20 kilometers away.

the next day.

All the coalition troops gathered in Luoyang.

Luoyang has been burning for two days and cannot be rescued.

On the contrary, the ministries of the coalition forces had some disputes over the competition for a good garrison position.

Most of the princes are heroes who came out of Luoyang, and they were very angry when facing the devastated and burned old city.

Yuan Jun's tent.

Yuan Shao is receiving his spies.

"Do you have any news about my father?" Although Yuan Shao was expressionless, the trembling of his body betrayed his current mood.

The secret agent knelt on the ground with a shameful look on his face, "The subordinates are incompetent. They didn't find the old man and the others. It's just...just found out who Dong Zhuo sent Fan Chou to kill the whole clan."

"And then!" Yuan Shao stood up in a daze.

The spy hurriedly said: "Then Fan Chou and his family all disappeared, and the family mansion was also burned, so there is no trace of it."

People have been sent to kill them, but they all disappeared.

Yuan Shao was confused, but somewhat hopeful, judging by the news, there was a possibility that he was not dead yet.

After half an hour.

The meeting of the Eighteenth Route princes began in the big tent of the Chinese Army.

The princes from all walks of life had different expressions, and no one took the initiative to speak.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. At this time, he had already developed a heart of not being a subject. He felt that something must have happened to Yuan Tan's disappearance.

Could it be that Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tan to secretly march to attack Dong Zhuo?
If the rescue is successful, Yuan Shao will be the number one hero in the world, and the hearts and minds of the people will be overwhelming.

The Han Emperor was young and ignorant, Yuan Shao must be in charge of the court, and the Yuan family's aspirations will lead to success for thousands of years.

At the same time, Cao Cao also saw that the princes from all walks of life had signs of cede land and become kings.

If you are fighting with the princes from all walks of life, it is extremely important to gather the hearts of the world's heroes for your own use.

And if you want to conquer the hearts of heroes, you must have a huge reputation.

Therefore, Cao Cao believed that Yuan Shao was seeking this prestige, so it must be false news that Yuan Tan was ill.

At this moment he has fallen behind, but it is not too late to remedy the situation.

Want a piece of the action.

Cao Cao made up his mind not to let Yuan Shao enjoy it all alone, so he got up and looked at everyone, saying: "Everyone, now Dong Zhuo is fleeing in fear of us, and he is still doing such unconscionable things in the imperial capital. Humans and gods are all angry, and heaven will not tolerate it. Cao thinks that he should take advantage of the victory and pursue , who would like to go together?"

It was also impassioned in the end.

"I would like to go together!" Sun Jian immediately stood up and supported the proposal.

However, unexpectedly, no second person stood up and responded.

Cao Cao's face became more gloomy, and he looked at the hall, "Leader?"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, stroked his beard, and said, "Meng De has the same heart and empathy. But there are more things to consider."

Speaking of this, he said to everyone: "Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an this time, which is really unexpected. Now the food and grass are not available, and the soldiers are very tired after running for nearly a hundred miles. Therefore, we need to think long-term in pursuit of Dong Zhuo. What do you think? ?”

Yuan Shao didn't agree, he thought that his family members were still in Dong Zhuo's hands, and if he pursued him, he would be threatened instead.

At that time, when the army entered, the family members died, which was unfilial.If you don't join the army, you will be disloyal and lose your reputation.

The only way is not to chase from the beginning to the end, and slowly think about how to save people.

Cao Cao's heart was full of anger, he thought Yuan Shao was deliberately shirking.

In his view, this is the best time to pursue the enemy.On the other hand, Yuan Shao didn't want other people to participate, so that he could enjoy the meritorious service alone.

"What the lord said is true."

Almost all the eighteen princes stood up and said in unison.

Seeing this, Cao Cao almost spit fire from his mouth.Thinking to you and a group of incompetent and less intelligent people, Yuan Benchu ​​had sent his son to ambush Dong Zhuo long ago!
But the ideas of the princes are surprisingly unanimous. They are not willing to leave their respective territories too far. In that case, it will give others a chance to seize their status.

Moreover, without the main threat of Dong Zhuo, the minds of the princes have changed.

There are dozens of ups and downs in the officialdom of these princes, and it is impossible for them to have no contradictions in the process of climbing up.

Sun Jian snorted coldly, and looked at everyone with disdain, "In that case, Sun Jian bids farewell."

"Why did General Sun leave?" Yuan Shao got up and asked in surprise.

Sun Jian said coldly: "Our army is almost completely lost, what's the use of staying here? Farewell!"

"Don't leave Wentai!" Cao Cao also failed to keep Sun Jian, and when he turned around, he was already furious and said:

"Dong thief burned the palace, robbed the emperor, and escorted millions of people... His reputation was lost, and the army under his command was scattered because of the people under his control. It was a concerted effort, and the world was settled in one battle. Why don't you doubt it? Enter?"

All the princes said one after another: "Meng Degong, don't move lightly."

"Yuan Benchu, leader, what do you say?" Cao said coldly.

Yuan Shao pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "Meng De, since everyone thinks so, we need to think long term."

"..." Cao Cao.

At this moment, he has made up his mind that he must not allow Yuan Benchu ​​to accomplish such an earth-shattering event.

"Shuzi is insufficient and conspiracy!"

After Cao Cao walked out of the big tent, he immediately shouted: "Where are Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan? Gather the troops and follow me to hunt down Dong thief!"

"..." Princes from all walks of life.

"..." Yuan Shao.

…………

Dong Zhuo is on his way to Hangu Pass with Shengjia and other civil and military officials under his arm.

The car was driving very slowly due to the muddy road.

After dark, had to camp in the wilderness.

Although Dong Zhuo was seated in the warm and comfortable tent, he felt uneasy and immediately sent someone to summon Li Ru, the military advisor.

"Wen You, now my soldiers and horses are scattered everywhere to take care of property and people, if the enemy comes to chase me, what should I do?"

Li Ru twirled his mustache, "Grand Master, if most of the enemy marches, how can they escape our army's eyes and ears."

"Looking at the current situation, there will be no such situation that most of the enemy will come to chase us. But we still need to beware of someone sneaking up on our army. The subordinates think that we should leave some soldiers behind. If anyone dares to come and chase us, they will be given a blow." Let the heroes know how powerful the prime minister is, and they will rest easy."

Dong Zhuo was deeply convinced, and said: "In that case, let my son, Marquis Wen, lead his troops and horses to the rear."

The voice just fell.

A guard came in and presented a letter with both hands, "Reporting to the grand master, a messenger came outside, saying that it was a letter from the troops of the recruiting captain Zhang Liao of the Taiwei's office."

Dong Zhuo took it over and looked at it, then handed it to Li Ru, "What do you think of this matter?"

Li Ru took it over and looked at it quickly, and said with eyes rolling: "This Zhang Liao should be the former governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan. Later, General He Jin dispatched officers from various states to Beijing in order to strengthen the army in the capital. This person is also one of them." one."

"Then he was sent to the north by He Jin to recruit soldiers..."

As Dong Zhuo's military adviser, Li Ru seemed to have done a lot of homework, and now he showed an extraordinary memory.

Then he said: "Zhang Liao's vote is a manifestation of the grand master's popularity, and he cannot refuse. But he was not a member of the grand master's direct line before, so he needs to be cautious when using it. It is better to be under the command of Marquis Wen for the time being, and leave the queen together. Watch what he sees Because, the ability is high or low...it will not be too late to make an appointment."

Dong Zhuo nodded.
