I have a role in the heavens

With an order, the whole army moved into action. Everyone was thinking about Hulao Pass and rushed towards the mighty pass. At this time, the pass was empty and had been moved cleanly, leaving nothing useful. Yuan Shao looked at this pass. In the empty Xiongguan, there was a cold light in the eyes, as cold as ice, and he said with hatred.

"Okay, okay! Dong Zhuo secretly tricked Chen Cang into playing tricks on us. It's absolutely abominable!"

During this period, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses fought several battles with the coalition forces, each time with a desperate attitude. Unexpectedly, it was a trick to confuse the coalition forces. He secretly infiltrated Chencang and evacuated the city of Luoyang. I have to say that he did a great job indeed. Li Ru's plan was so thorough that even the counselors around Yuan Shao did not notice anything strange.

In the entire coalition camp, only one person was aware of it, and that was Wei Zhongdao. However, he had long since given up hope on the big man. He understood the principle of neither breaking nor establishing, so he watched with cold eyes and did not alert the princes.

Hundreds of thousands of coalition troops rushed towards Luoyang City, chasing all the way, but saw no sign of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses. However, in just half a day, they arrived in front of Luoyang City, the most powerful city in the world. They looked at the roaring flames and the light of the fire. The entire sky turned red, shocking everyone.

Flames shot into the sky, and black smoke covered the ground. For two to three hundred miles, there were no chickens, dogs or humans. Sun Jian reacted quickly and quickly ordered his troops to put out the fire. The princes followed closely and stopped chasing Dong Zhuo's troops.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was dissatisfied. Luoyang City was in ruins. The emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still in Dong Zhuo's hands. How could he stop here? He had to meet Yuan Shao and asked sternly.

"Now that Dong Zhuo has moved his capital to Chang'an, there are so many people and horses that his speed will inevitably slow down. We can take advantage of the situation to pursue him. Why did you stand still and stop here at the beginning?"

Yuan Shao had a troubled expression on his face, looking at the burning Luoyang City, with the same light flashing in his eyes. It was ambition, desire, and a rebellious heart, so he shied away.

"Mengde, it's not that I don't want to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo. It's because our troops are trapped and unable to fight anymore. If we rush to pursue him rashly, I'm afraid it will be harmful rather than beneficial!"

Cao Cao looked around, and the princes from all walks of life avoided his gaze. He was disappointed in his heart. There was persistence in his eyes and he said with hatred.

"Dong's thieves burned the palace, robbed the emperor, and shook the sea. He didn't know where he was going. This is the time when heaven is destroyed. One battle will bring peace to the world. Why do you have doubts and not advance?"

All the princes said not to move lightly. Cao Cao was furious, his face turned red, he swung his sleeves and turned away.

"There is no way to make a fool of yourself!"

Cao Cao personally organized his troops, which numbered more than ten thousand, and led Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals chased Dong Zhuo's troops and horses at starry night, hoping to rescue the emperor and the Manchu civil and military ministers.

Wei Zhongdao looked at Cao Cao who was leaving alone, with a complicated expression in his eyes. He sighed, lowered his head and leaned into Wang Kuang's ear, and whispered softly.

"Prefect Wang, Zhongdao has an unkind request, please fulfill it!"

Wang Kuang looked at Cao Cao's leaving figure with admiration. He was weak, with only three thousand soldiers and horses, and they were all new recruits who had not received strict training. After half a day of rushing, he was exhausted and unable to fight anymore. , so rejecting Cao Cao was not his original intention.

"Zhongdao, please speak!"

Wei Zhongdao glanced at Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses. They were all tired and unable to fight, but after all, he was worried about Cao Cao, so he still spoke.

"I also ask Governor Wang to lend me three thousand troops and horses to rescue Cao Mengde!"

Wang Kuang was surprised when he heard this and asked with some confusion.

"Why did Zhongdao say this? Didn't Cao Mengde just leave?"

Wei Zhongdao looked to the west, looking at the murderous atmosphere between the sky and the earth, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he replied.

"When Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, he would inevitably leave a general behind to stop the pursuers. Xu Rong, the general of Xiliang, was a good general and extremely resourceful. He was the only one to stop the pursuers. Cao Mengde was already blinded by anger. He will definitely fall into Xu Rong’s ambush, and if he doesn’t save him, he will most likely be defeated and die!”

Wang Kuang suddenly understood and without hesitation lent 3,000 troops and horses to Wei Zhongdao, and also lent his general Fang Yue to help Wei Zhongdao control the troops.

Wei Zhongdao acted decisively, slightly adjusted the formation of his troops, and his spiritual power broke through the air, activating the essence of heaven and earth, blessing the entire team, and chased Cao Cao.

"kill!"

"Don't be chaotic, gather towards the center, block the Xiliang cavalry for me, don't let him rush into the central army!"

There were loud shouts, and Xia Houyuan commanded the troops and horses to resist the siege of Xiliang cavalry and infantry with all his strength. His body was covered with blood, and he kept slashing with the sword in his hand, killing the enemy soldiers one by one. While looking around, he looked at the The enemy troops coming in like a tide had extremely gloomy expressions on their faces.

Zhao Yun was guarding Cao Cao, with the silver gentian spear in his hand blooming brilliantly. The endless shadow of the spear pierced the enemy's chest, and blood spattered everywhere. There was already a hill piled up in front of him, all of which were corpses. The blood had already dyed the ground red. .

Cao Cao had a look of remorse on his face, and his eyes were full of distress when he looked at the bloody battles of the soldiers. He was impulsive and lost his cool. He was ambushed by Xu Rong and was surrounded by 3,000 Xiliang cavalry and 20,000 infantry. They were trapped in a desperate situation, suffered heavy losses, and the generals were injured one after another, but they still fought to the death.

The soldiers and horses of Xiliang are the most powerful soldiers in the world. They followed Dong Zhuo to fight against the Xianbei and Qiang tribes, which caused the foreign tribes to flee. They were more elite than the soldiers and horses under Cao Cao. Every wave of Xiliang cavalry charges would take away hundreds of people. The lives of Cao Cao's soldiers were indestructible, making the situation for Cao Cao and others even more dangerous.

Cao Cao looked around and saw his generals fighting desperately, just to fight for a chance of survival for himself, with a sad look on his face. He hated the princes all over the world for watching with cold eyes. He had countless calculations in his mind and completely forgot about the Han Dynasty, otherwise Even if Xu Rong blocks the attack, they will definitely be able to stop Dong Zhuo's army, defeat them in one battle, and calm down the turmoil.

"Brother! You retreat first, and we will stop the Xiliang cavalry for you!"

Cao Hong was the most greedy person, he loved treasures, he was greedy for life, and he was afraid of death, but he was loyal to Cao Cao. He gave the horse he was sitting on to Cao Cao, pushed it up forcefully, and looked at the things that were about to rush towards him with a tragic face. Liang Tieqi told Zhao Yun, who was guarding Cao Cao at the side.

"Zilong, you have great martial arts and astonishing cultivation. The world can be without us, but it can't be without eldest brother. Please be sure to escort eldest brother out. We can't thank you enough again!"

After saying that, Cao Hong bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yun. Before Zhao Yun could react, he rushed towards the Xiliang cavalry, looking crazy, tragic and determined.

"Zi Lian! Come back!"

Cao Cao reached out to save Cao Hong, but it was indeed a step too late. He watched Cao Hong being overwhelmed by the cavalry and fell into the crowd, fighting desperately.

The cloud energy shrouded these three thousand cavalry, which was enough to suppress the internal energy of the generals. Even top-notch generals would lose their fighting power when faced with them, making it difficult to withstand their sharp edge.
