Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 229
Outside Hulao Pass, in the camp of the allied forces of the princes.

Yuan Shao looked at the secret letter in his hand and frowned. This secret letter was sent quietly by Lu Bu. It told everyone that Dong Zhuo was going to move the capital to Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo had secretly poisoned Hongnong King Liu Bian. Guan retreated to Chang'an.

"Everyone is saying whether this news is reliable or not? What should we do?" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice after showing the secret letter to everyone.

"Leader, I don't think it is possible for Lu Bu to lie to us. He must have had a conflict with Dong Zhuo and wants to use our hands to get rid of Dong Zhuo!" Ma Teng said in a deep voice.

"Now that Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass are about to be captured, shall we pursue Dong Zhuo? Or attack Luoyang!" Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, asked with a frown.

"You don't have to ask. Dong Zhuo must be going after Dong Zhuo. This traitor not only caused chaos in the court, but also slaughtered our relatives in Luoyang. Isn't it just to attack Dong Zhuo? How can we let such traitors escape!" Cao Cao said to the crowd with a stern face.

"That's right, I agree with Brother Meng De's words. Now our primary goal is to rescue the emperor and all the officials first, and we must not let the emperor fall into the hands of the devil Dong Zhuo again!" Liu Bei said with a serious face.

"Hmph, is it possible to let Luoyang fall into the hands of Mr. Lu Bu? What virtue and ability does he have? Dare to occupy Luoyang, the imperial capital!" Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, objected categorically.

……

Looking at the people who were arguing endlessly, Yuan Shao frowned even tighter. He is now the most powerful and most prestigious, and he can't help but want to occupy Luoyang, but Dong Zhuo is his father-killing enemy, and the other party not only took away the emperor and all the officials , and even brought a large amount of wealth looted in Luoyang, which made Yuan Shao extremely jealous.

"Why don't we do this? Let's divide our troops into two groups. Everyone can choose for themselves. Who will pursue Dong Zhuo? Who will attack Luoyang?" Yuan Shao said after thinking for a while, looking at the crowd.

"Xuande is willing to go after Dong Zhuo!" Liu Bei immediately cupped his hands.

After he is a relative of the emperor, how can he just watch the emperor and all the officials being plundered by Dong Zhuo, so he can only choose to pursue Dong Zhuo, and more importantly, he is short of money and food, and his foundation is too weak, so he is also incomparable. Dong Zhuo is jealous of the huge wealth he plundered, as long as he can intercept a little bit, it is enough for him to use it to develop his own power!

"I, Cao Mengde, am willing to go after Dong Zhuo and that traitor!" Cao Cao cupped his hands to Yuan Shao.

"I, Gongsun Zan, am also willing to go after Dong Zhuo!" Gongsun Zan followed up.

"I would too!"

……

Everyone expressed their willingness to pursue Dong Zhuo, vowing to take back the emperor and remove Dong Zhuo's head.

After Yuan Shao made some statistics, he found that most of the princes were willing to pursue Dong Zhuo, but only a few wanted to attack Luoyang.

In fact, this is normal. These princes are not stupid. The city wall of Luoyang is extremely tall and the defense is extremely strong. With the city walls of Luoyang in place, Lu Bu was almost invincible. How could they ask for trouble?

But Dong Zhuo was different, whether it was rescuing the emperor or seizing the huge wealth that Dong Zhuo plundered, it was a good deal, so almost all these princes chose to pursue Dong Zhuo.

I don't know who leaked the news. The defenders of Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass knew that Dong Zhuo was about to retreat to Chang'an. The checkpoint was finally quickly won.

The army of the princes immediately pursued Dong Zhuo according to the route map provided by Lu Bu. Because Dong Zhuo carried too much wealth, although under Li Ru's suggestion, there were almost ambushes arranged along the way, but under the fierce pursuit of the coalition of princes, Dong Zhuo's main force was still intercepted.

Faced with the temptation of huge wealth, the two sides fought a fierce battle on a plain. Due to low morale, Dong Zhuo's army finally failed due to being outnumbered. Dong Zhuo fled in embarrassment with the emperor and all the officials. About half of it was also lost, and its military strength was even more damaged by more than 20.

However, when the allied forces of the princes robbed the wealth, internal strife occurred, which resulted in the failure to pursue Dong Zhuo in time, so that the best time was missed, and Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an. After returning to the Liangzhou base camp, the princes were no longer able to attack Chang'an. Natural danger!
On the contrary, Cao Cao and Liu Bei led the army to continue the pursuit, but they were ambushed by Li Ru and defeated by Dong Zhuo's most elite "Flying Bear Army", causing Cao Cao and Liu Bei to suffer heavy losses.
……

Under the city of Luoyang, Yuan Shao led the allied forces of the feudal lords to look at the tall city wall of Luoyang and the heavily guarded defenders.

After the allied forces of the princes succeeded in chasing Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others could not break through the natural danger of Chang'an, so they persuaded these princes to attack Luoyang, hoping to take Luoyang, and then find a member of the royal family to be the puppet emperor.

"Lu Bu, now we are going to re-establish the imperial court in Luoyang and establish a new emperor. What do you mean by closing the city gate?" Yuan Shao looked at Lu Bu and shouted loudly.

"Yuan Benchu, I didn't expect you to be so shameless, and want to establish a new emperor and re-establish the court. I have provided you with such a clear route, but you still haven't intercepted the emperor and all the officials! Now you still have the face in my eyes! It's so presumptuous here, it's easy to bully me, Lu Bu!" Lu Bu stared at Yuan Shao and cursed loudly.

"Lu Bu, this Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, how can you allow you to occupy it without permission!" Jinbei Minister Bao Xin said loudly.

"Lu Bu, since you are so ignorant of good and evil, don't blame us for being rude!" Yuan Shao said angrily with a sullen face.

"Hmph, this Luoyang City is already owned by this Marquis! You leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!" Lu Bu said coldly, he managed to prevent Dong Zhuo from burning Luoyang, how could he easily give Luoyang to Yuan Shao and others people?
"Brother, why are you talking so much with this guy! Let's attack the city directly!" Yuan Shu said dissatisfiedly to Yuan Shao.

"Okay, let's attack from the four city gates together." Yuan Shao said to the many princes.

Then Yuan Shao arranged for the princes to attack the city. Facing the siege attack of the princes' allied forces, Lu Bu couldn't help showing a sneer. Jia Xu had expected that the princes would come back to compete for Luoyang, and had already made Lu Bu ready for it.

For the allied forces of the princes, Lu Bu really didn't take it seriously. With the size and strength of Luoyang City, coupled with the defense of nearly a million troops, Lu Bu was confident enough to defend Luoyang!
The allied forces of the princes lost a lot when chasing Dong Zhuo, but they still had more than 200 million troops. Under the leadership of Yuan Shao, they began to launch a fierce attack on Luoyang City.

As the capital of the empire, Luoyang has a particularly rich reserve of various materials, especially kerosene, bows and arrows, crossbows and other materials. The coalition forces of the princes attacked for more than ten days, losing tens of thousands of troops every day, but they still did not shake Luoyang city at all.

On the contrary, Lu Bu rushed out with tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry at every turn. He was unstoppable and unstoppable. After defeating several generals of the coalition army with his strong strength, the morale of the coalition forces of the princes fell to the extreme for a while. .

In the end, the three brothers Liu Bei came forward and fought a battle with Lu Bu.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have seen Lv Bu make a move, and their strength has now reached the peak of the Wuqi Chaoyuan Realm, especially Guan Yu, whose cultivation base has reached the edge of breaking through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The strength gap with Lu Bu is still very large.

Only in order to be famous in the world, in order for Guan Yu to break through the realm under the oppression of Lu Bu, the three Liu Bei brothers took the risk and joined forces to fight against Lu Bu.

The three of them were struggling under Lu Bu's fierce attack, and the surrounding heroes were all sweating for the three of them. Cao Cao's eyes were shining and he stared at Guan Yu closely, wishing to win him over.

Under Lu Bu's oppression, Guan Yu finally made a strong breakthrough to the sixth level of martial arts, and then started a fierce battle with Lu Bu.
