Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 199 Enrage the princes

"Lao Dian, you are here to protect Mr. Qiao and wait for us to come back. Let's lead the army to chase for a while and see if we can save some people." In fact, Liu Xie's real purpose is to catch up with Dong Zhuo and grab Dong Zhuo's gold and silver treasures. .It is said in the Romance that Dong Zhuo confiscated rich households in Luoyang, searched the imperial palace, and robbed the imperial tomb. The gold, silver and jewels he obtained contained thousands of carts.

Liu Xie felt that even though the Romance was exaggerated, Dong Zhuo had no chance to steal the imperial tomb now, but there are still hundreds of vehicles. If he can take advantage of the chaos and grab dozens of vehicles, it will be enough to support the military development of Yanzhou for a long time. up.

"Report, Your Highness, we received an urgent report. Lu Bu had given up guarding the Hulao Pass a few days ago, and now he has led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to retreat to Luoyang." At this moment, a scout rushed to report.

"How many people are there now?" Liu Xie asked with a tense face.

"Counting the trapped camp and Li Ru's troops, there are a total of [-] people."

"Lv Bu is here, but Li Ru is actually behind him. The two will get back together again. It's going to be really difficult." Liu Xie had a headache. With a lineup of strong generals and six thousand Bingzhou Wolf Riders, no matter how many strong generals he has under his command, it won't work.

"Forget it, anyway, they can't go fast with gold, silver, money and food. Now that Lu Bu is here, the coalition army must be coming soon. We'll see if there is a chance to make a fortune at that time."

"Get on the horse, let's go back to Luoyang on a narrow path, and we'll meet up with the princes before we make plans." Now, if we fight with Lu Bu, we can't say whether we can win, but we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Liu Xie's [-] cavalry may all be lost here. It's too big, and it doesn't meet Liu Xie's original intention, otherwise he wouldn't have tried everything possible to escape the chaotic war at Hulao Pass.

"Here." At present, 3000 people guarded Qiao Xuan's family and retreated back to Luoyang from the trail.And Lu Bu and the others were also worried that the cavalry of the princes would catch up at any time, so they did not stay in Luoyang for a long time, but chose to continue westward, trying to catch up with Dong Zhuo's army.

In this way, the two armies avoided it so unbelievably and perfectly.

After Liu Xie returned to Luoyang, he immediately ordered the soldiers under his command to enter the city to kill Xiaoxiao who took advantage of the situation and some Xiliang Sanqi Youyong who were greedy for property and had not yet left. Just a little bit of power.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the army of the princes arrived belatedly.

After the "capture" of Hulao Pass, many princes became a little proud of their credit, and even thought that Dong Zhuo was already vulnerable, completely forgetting the inextricably fierce battle with Xiliang's army.Procrastinating all the way, it was a full day late for Lu Bu to arrive in Luoyang.Because of the fear of an ambush, they didn't even dare to dispatch the chasing cavalry.

When they came to the gate of Luoyang City, they found that the Liu character flag had been replaced on the city wall, and the order in the city was not as chaotic as imagined.Yuan Shu couldn't help but asked, "Who did this, to arrive at Luoyang before our army?"

Cao Cao couldn't help snorting when he heard this, and didn't want to talk to him.Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed, but he was his younger brother after all, and it was not easy for the princes to see his jokes, so he explained aloud: "The one who dared to fight Dong thief, and was able to rush to Luoyang before us, should be Chen who defeated Xu Rong in Mengjin." stay king."

As if to confirm his words, the gate of Luoyang opened, and Liu Xie came out with several generals under his command. Looking at the princes, he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "You guys came early enough, but Gu Ke met you at noon yesterday. Lu Bu, you guys are far enough behind."

Liu Xie deliberately angered the princes in this way. After all, once Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, the alliance would be declared broken. He is now letting the princes think that he is still a little prince who is determined to revive the Han Dynasty and does not follow the general trend of the world, so they will not doubt him. Other ambitions, so belittle him.And in this way, he can also win the hearts of the Han people all over the world and the loyalty of those loyal officials who are still loyal to the Han Dynasty, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.This is also the inspiration he got from Cao Cao's move to lead his army to pursue Dong Zhuo knowing that he would be defeated in the Romance.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, everyone's expressions became extremely complicated, even Yuan Shao's expression was a little unsightly, and Yuan Shu said with a green face: "Your Highness is guarding Mengjin, so naturally he doesn't know how fierce the battle at Hulao Pass is." , I have suffered heavy losses, so why not take a few days of rest."

"Oh, do you think Mengjin is a safe place? Then why didn't anyone in the camp except Gu, Gongsun Taishou and General Sun petition to go to Mengjin to resist Xu Rong's five thousand Xiliang cavalry? If you have How dare you not lead [-] infantry to fight against [-] Xiliang iron cavalry?" In fact, Xue Li defeated Xu Rong with only [-] infantry, but in order to conceal his strength, Liu Xie told Zhao Yun that it was [-] infantry. It was only with three thousand white horses and Yi Cong that he narrowly won.Zhao Yun is loyal, he agreed to come down and Liu Xie naturally doesn't have to worry about talking about it.

Yuan Shu was immediately speechless by Liu Xie's words, and he didn't dare to speak angrily to Liu Xie, so he threw up his sleeves and retreated to his army angrily.

"Dong Zhuo left not long ago, so we may not be able to catch up. It's already dark today, so I won't care about it. Tomorrow it will be dawn, and those who are willing to lead the army in pursuit with me, sign up now, so that I won't disturb your dreams tomorrow by asking one by one. .”

"This..." All the princes hesitated. They thought they could take a good rest even if they went to Luoyang, the imperial capital, to win Dong Zhuo. Who knew that King Chen Liu was so aggressive that he wanted them to continue chasing Dong Zhuo.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Dong Zhuo may not be so easy to chase.

"Sun Jian is willing to go!"

"Gongsun Zan, together with His Royal Highness Bai Ma Yi Cong, fight against bandits!"

"If you stick to what you want, how dare Cao Cao speak?"

Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, and Cao Cao stepped forward and said loudly.The three of them have their own plans, and I'm afraid not all of them really want to hunt down Dong Zhuo.

"Okay! The lonely man, thank you for your righteous deeds! As for the leader Yuan, you should take the princes to guard Luoyang well. It is an important place in the capital, so there is nothing to lose." Liu Xie stopped and didn't anger the princes too much, now , It can be regarded as giving them a step down.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Yuan Shao will definitely guard Luoyang well, and I will definitely not teach Xiaoxiao to take advantage of it!" Yuan Shao understood, and quickly said with a smile on his face.

At that moment, Liu Xie gave an order, and three thousand Yanzhou elite cavalry under his command left Luoyang and set up camp not far outside the city.Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao also separated their armies from the armies of the princes and set up camp next to Liu Xie to prepare for departure early tomorrow morning.

When Yuan Shao saw Liu Xie giving up Luoyang, he was not polite. He ordered the army to station outside the city, led his soldiers and princes into Luoyang, and celebrated grandly that night. He also politely invited Liu Xie and a few people, but All four refused and did not enter the city.
