Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 376 Pursuit
"Report to the lord, there is news from Huguan Pass that Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang and moved the emperor to Chang'an, so the guards at Hulao Pass have abandoned the pass and fled today!"

Hearing such shocking news suddenly, everyone was surprised and delighted!
The joy is that Dong Zhuo moved his capital, and all the defenders of Hulao Pass fled.After breaking the Hulao pass, they can drive straight into Luoyang, and their great cause of crusade against Dong Zhuo is finally about to succeed.

I was so surprised that Dong Zhuo dared to burn the palace, rob the people, and move the capital to Chang'an. What's the point of having a ruined Luoyang?
Besides, although the Chang'an area in Guanzhong is dilapidated and decayed, it is as strong as a small letter, which is even more impregnable than Hulao Pass. When will everyone be able to invade Chang'an and kill the bandits Dong?
"Now that Dong Zhuo has retreated to Chang'an, Hulao Pass is already in the pocket of our coalition forces. We should first capture Hulao Pass in one fell swoop, march into Luoyang, and then talk about other things." Yuan Shao was in the first place. After a brief shock, he immediately It was the reaction, and then he opened his mouth and said loudly.

Everyone promised.

Sure enough, Hulao Pass, which is controlled by one husband and cannot be opened by ten thousand husbands, because Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, Fu Jian and others left immediately after guarding it for five days. Now Hulao Pass has become an empty pass. Nearly a thousand soldiers were left here as abandoned sons.

They didn't even struggle a bit. Seeing the strength of the coalition forces, nearly a thousand guards at Hulao Pass offered to surrender.

Opening the thick gate of Hulao Pass, all the princes led their troops into the pass.

After entering the pass, standing at the head of Hulao Pass, all the princes looked good, full of joy of victory.The soldiers under the tents of the princes from all walks of life broke out in earth-shattering cheers!

Since then, Hulao Pass, known as the most powerful pass in the world, was finally broken by the coalition forces of the princes.

After the capture of Hulao Pass, the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, ordered to reward the three armies and feast the princes.

In the main hall of Hulaoguan, more than a dozen of the princes of the 22 routes still staying here gathered together.The princes talked and laughed happily with each other, telling various jokes to each other.

However, Cao Mengde got up suddenly and broke the harmonious atmosphere.

"Wait a minute, everyone. Although the Hulao pass has been broken, the old thief Dong Zhuo has escaped with his army, and his strength is still there. When he escapes to Chang'an, he will definitely regain his strength." Cao Cao stepped forward and said loudly.

"Before the guards at Hulao Pass fled in a hurry, they must have panicked, and the lineup must be scattered. In addition, he still has a lot of soldiers, so the marching speed must not be fast. I also ask the leader to order, and hope to lead a light cavalry to chase after Dong. A gang of thieves."

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and said with a wry smile: "Meng De, forget it...the soldiers are tired, and it may be useless to advance."

After breaking the Hulao pass, there is no obstacle to marching into Luoyang.What's more, Dong Zhuo had already fled to Chang'an. With Wei Han's strength and Dong Zhuo's strength still alive, it was almost impossible for the coalition forces to take Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao really didn't want to make more troubles.With the current achievements, as long as they are well publicized, it is enough to make the world think that the allied forces of the princes have defeated Dong Zhuo.

What's more, so many major events have happened in this period of time, which has made Yuan Shao tireless, and now Yuan Shao is eager to end this discussion.

"Forget it!" After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Cao Cao was furious, pointing at Yuan Shao and scolding: "In the battle of Hulaoguan, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 20 generals died in the battle, and your Yuan family counted. Don’t you want to avenge the bloody enmity of ten people? Let’s forget about these national enmity and family enmity, Yuan Benchu, you have let me down too much.”

If others dared to say something to Yuan Shao and made him unable to step down in public, Yuan Shao would have been angry long ago.But in the end the other party was his good friend, Yuan Shao forcibly endured it, but turned his face to the side, no longer willing to talk to Cao Cao.

"Forget it!" Seeing Yuan Shao like this, Cao Cao secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that Yuan Shao could not count on this matter.

And starting today, a crack began to appear in the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

"Which general is willing to go with me, Cao Cao, to pursue Dong's gang?" Cao Mengde asked, looking around at the princes.

"Meng De, the old man can send a light cavalry to help!" Liu Yu, who was a member of the Han clan, supported him first.

On the other hand, although Kong Rong and Liu Bei looked intently in their eyes, they were all infantry, so they couldn't help Cao Mengde at all.

The rest of the princes and others bowed their heads and remained silent. Most of them came to attack Hulao Pass to spread their fame in front of the world. Now that Hulao Pass has been broken, Dong Zhuo has also fled in a hurry. No one wants to waste themselves any more. Now that Cao Cao is willing to stand out, why not let him test the vigor of the Xiliang army first.

As for people like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin, it is enough to join the alliance against Dong, capture Luoyang, and brush up their reputation by the way.If they really defeated Dong Zhuo, rescued Emperor Xian and allowed Emperor Xian to rule in person, it would definitely not be in line with their interests.

"Huh!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes, although the princes from all walks of life have many soldiers and generals, it is a pity that everyone thinks of themselves in their hearts, and there are indeed very few who can really think of serving the big man!
……

"It's not too late. I don't think it's better for us to mobilize our troops now and chase down the rebels of Dong Zhuo's party." Outside the tent, Cao Cao said urgently to the two brothers Tian Yu and Tian Zaibiao sent by Liu Yu.

Speaking of which, Liu Yu's support for Cao Cao this time is really not small. Among the two generals sent to command the army, Tian Yu is a talented general and a wise general, while Tian Zaibiao has undeserved courage .The two brothers cooperate with each other, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can easily deal with.

Tian Yu nodded, and ordered Tian Zaibiao to point out five thousand Youzhou Jingqi to follow them.As one of the three frontier states in the north of the Han Dynasty, Youzhou's army's combat effectiveness is absolutely guaranteed.Especially the Youzhou fine cavalry, whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to the Xiliang iron cavalry and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

Seeing Tian Yu nodding his head, Cao Cao also sent Cao Ning to fly away with his soldier talisman and lead the soldiers stationed not far away.

……

Even though Cao Cao pursued them non-stop, he didn't see a trace of the Xiliang army. On the contrary, he saw many corpses of ordinary people along the way.When Cao Cao led the soldiers under his command, he chased them at full speed for nearly an hour, but apart from seeing the corpses of the common people all over the ground, he didn't see a single Xiliang army, which also made Cao Cao very anxious.If you wait for this army to withdraw from Hangu Pass, there will be no chance of injuring Dong Zhuo in the end.

After a short march, when Cao Cao brought his soldiers to Rongyang, not only Cao Cao, but also his soldiers couldn't help feeling sleepy and tired.
