In the early morning of the fifth day of March, Deng Zhi returned to Luoyang City.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo has transported all the people we need to Hangu Pass."

"Zilong, Wenyuan, Zhongkang, and Dianwei, four of you, lead the five thousand Xuanjia army, and go pick them up with me, while Xu Ding and Xu Rong stay to defend Luoyang."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo led five thousand cavalry and escorted Li Ru to outside Hangu Pass.

Standing on the city wall, Li Meng and Duan Yan, the guards of Hangu Pass, looked at the army outside the city with expressions of disdain on their faces.

There were only 5000 people, and when the fight started, Cao Shuo's troops would definitely not be able to stop them. Taking the opportunity to kill these 500 people was simply a piece of cake.

"Xu Chu, go and shout out, let them release a batch first!"

"promise!"

Xu Chu rode his horse to Hangu Pass and went down fifty steps alone, and shouted loudly: "The jade seal has been given to you, let a group of people go out first!"

Li Meng said disdainfully: "Release our Taiwei, and we will release him again!"

Xu Chu said: "If you don't let them go, we won't let them go either. Let's see who loses the most!"

After Xu Chu finished speaking, he turned around and went back. Li Meng and Duan Yan looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

If they let him go, what should he do if the other party doesn't let Li Ru go, His Majesty specifically explained that Li Ru must be brought back.

Seeing that the other party wanted to play tricks, Cao Shuo took a meaningful look at Li Ru and said, "Wen You, why don't you join me, we'll go back straight away."

Li Ru shook his head with a depressed face. He would not seek refuge with Cao Shuo unless he had to. His wife and children are all in Chang'an. With Dong Zhuo's violent temper, if he took refuge in Cao Shuo, he would definitely not let his family go. Even her own daughter.

"Wei Hou, otherwise, release both sides at the same time!"

Li Ru did not expect that one day he would become a prisoner and offer advice to the other party to save himself.

"That's fine, Xu Chu, make another trip and tell them that both sides will release the hostages at the same time within a limit of two miles!"

"promise!"

Xu Chu ran to Guanxia and told the other party the steps of the transaction, and Li Meng and Duan Yan readily agreed.

Li Meng and Duan Wei led [-] troops out of Hangu Pass, and [-] officials and their families were escorted to the front of the battle.

Cao Shuo ordered: "We must spare no effort to stop the opponent's army later."

"promise!"

Li Ru gave Cao Shuo a contemptuous look. This guy must have told him in private how slowly he would walk.

"Dangdangdang!"

Three gongs sounded, and Li Ru started to run towards Li Meng frantically. He was not afraid that Cao Shuo would attack him, but he was afraid that Li Meng would attack all officials. This would only make Cao Shuo easier.

"Xu Chu, add some drama to them!"

Cao Shuo smiled wickedly, everything had been ordered in advance, Xu Chu understood, and shouted: "Master Li Ru, don't be caught and taken prisoner by them, you are a powerless literati. "

"Convex(艹盘艹)!"

Li Ru was terrified, Xu Chu's words not only reminded him, but also reminded these officials.

Zhu Jun, Huangfusong, and Fuwan were overjoyed when they heard Xu Chu's voice. If they caught Li Ru at this time, they would be able to return to Cao Shuo intact.

Wang Yun said: "What are you waiting for, how fast can he run as a literati!"

Then Zhu Jun, Huangfusong, and Fu Wan led a few quick-legged disciples to meet Li Ru quickly.

Damn Cao Shuo, he's playing dirty tricks!
Li Ru looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, and felt extremely flustered. If he was arrested again, he might not be able to come back.

"kill!"

Seeing that Li Ru was in danger, Li Meng and Duan Yan quickly commanded the [-] troops behind them to rush over. Hundreds of officials were closer to them than Cao Shuo. As long as they could kill Li Ru before he was captured, this group of people would be alone. Can't survive.

Li Ru shouted: "Go back quickly, go back quickly!"

But his voice was nothing compared to the roar of a hundred thousand troops running wildly. Li Meng and Duan Yan only saw Li Ru waving his arms, but couldn't hear what he said at all.

Li Meng said in horror: "General Duan, Master Li seems to be in rescue, let's speed up!"

And Cao Shuo's five thousand cavalry only hesitated for a while, then rushed over.

"Xu Chu and Dian Wei lead [-] cavalry to detour behind the opponent to see if they can sneak attack Hangu Pass."

"promise!"

"Zilong led a thousand cavalry to save people later!"

"promise!"

Although Cao Shuo wanted to kill these people, he still had to put on a show.

"Wenyuan, Wen'er and I joined their army!"

"promise!"

"kill!"

Li Meng and Duan Yan were the first to kill the officials, while Cao Shuo's red rabbit horse was faster than Lu Wen's black horse, and they also rushed to the officials.

"Give me death!"

Li Meng and Duan Yan led the soldiers to kill mercilessly. At this time, Li Ru finally waited for his own reinforcements in an emergency.

"Hurry up, tell the two generals to return to Hangu Pass, these people can't be killed, can't be killed!"

The soldiers around Li Ru looked confused, why couldn't they kill them?

How dare they disobey His Majesty's orders.

Li Ru kept roaring, but no one listened to him.

"Master Taiwei, hurry back to Hangu Pass!"

A soldier led a horse and asked Li Ru to ride it.

Li Ru sullenly ran towards Hangu Pass, protected by hundreds of guards.

"Help me..."

"Help me..."

Among the chaotic army, Cao Shuo saw several soldiers chasing a dozen unarmed women.

"Wen'er, stop them!"
