Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439 Pursuit
The name of the shepherd is passed down to the world.

The Mu family is a thief, and the whole world will punish him. As the son of the Mu family, Mu Jing, the little thief of the Mu family, no matter where he goes, there should be people shouting at him. Now there is no place in the world where Mu Jing can stand. Running out.

Of course, the land of the world is not without a place to settle down.

At the beginning, Mujing chose Bingzhou, which is a frontier place. In the Central Plains, it can be regarded as far away from the frontier. As long as he has enough soldiers and horses, this is a place where he can settle down.

But in Bingzhou, he was bound to face the war between the Huns and Xianbei, and he didn't have any time to recuperate.

Even if the Central Plains is in chaos, he has no chance to get out, and can only use up his strength bit by bit on the war against the Huns and Xianbei, and Youzhou Hebei will not let him go. There is no doubt that the soldiers will be defeated.

What he needs is a place to recuperate.

So this choice, Mujing gave up.

Since Bingzhou can't go, he still has another place to try, and that is to break out from Hanoi, go north to Montenegro, rely on the identity of the saint Zhang Ning, seize power with Zhang Yan, control the entire Taiping Road and the Yellow Turban Army, and leave the later Taizu The roads, guerrilla warfare, and the establishment of base areas, gradually eroding Hebei.

But it's too dangerous to break through the encirclement and go north. It's just Hanoi, and they may not be able to kill them.

Once dragged in Hanoi, his more than [-] soldiers and horses will be consumed alive.

So he also gave up this option.

Finally he decided to go south.

There are two reasons for going south. First, he doesn't want to give up Nanyang. Nanyang has always been the place where the Mu family rose up. Most of the soldiers from the Violent Bear Army and the Yellow Turban Army came from Nanyang. They have too many innate conditions in Nanyang.

Second, Hanzhong is the best place to recuperate and live. There is a natural danger of Jiange with Bashu, and there is a pavilion with Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong.

This is the best place to rest and recuperate.

Of course, it is not so easy to enter Guanzhong. Now Guanzhong is not without a master. Whether it is Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, or Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, he will be his enemy.

"Zhang Lu?" On the boat, Mu Jing was dressed in battle armor, cloaked and stood facing the wind, his eyes flickered, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes: "If I go to Hanzhong, I will definitely not keep you!"

Liu Yan can talk.

All he wanted was the land of Bashu.

But Zhang Lu might not be able to stay.

But it’s useless to think about escaping too much. The most important thing is whether you can get out of the pass. He took a deep breath and asked calmly: “I’m afraid news of their raid on Yimin Pass has spread. Footsteps will do!"

"Will they let us go south so smoothly?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"No one expects me to live!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "Whether it's the Kwantung Allied Army or the Xiliang Army, they will send troops. Naturally, it's impossible for us to go south so smoothly. But now I'm more worried about the Xiliang Army than the Kwantung Allied Army?"

If the Xiliang army knew that he was going south to Guanzhong, they would definitely pursue him desperately. They had already regarded Guanzhong as the meat in the bowl, the food on the plate, how could they allow Mujing to tarnish him, even if they tried their best, they would pursue him.

But the Kwantung Allied Forces...

According to history, they may stop here.

"why?"

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Do you know why I burned Luoyang City?" Mu Jing said: "Two reasons, first, to cover our breakout, and second, to burn their loyalty, but they lost their loyalty to the Han Dynasty, so they Won't waste time on me, they'll..."

"They will return to their own territory, fight for power, increase their strength, wait for opportunities, and plot the world!"

Xi Zhicai continued what Mu Jing said. He is extremely intelligent and has a quick mind. How could he not have thought of this, but he was unwilling to face it and go away. Burn down the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty!"

"The 400-year history of the Han Dynasty was not destroyed by me, but by their descendants of the Liu family!"

Mu Jing heard the words and said coldly: "The Liu family has been in charge of the country for 400 years, and the roots are deep-rooted. Who can do anything to win them, if they don't live up to their descendants and make the people of the world miserable, then there will be no Yellow Turban Uprising, let alone let them go. Aristocratic families are eager to move!"

The topic of the Han Dynasty is too heavy, for Xi Zhicai, he is a person who reads the books of sages after all, even though he knows what Mu Jing said is right, but he doesn't want to scold the kings of generations.

So after he was silent, he changed the subject: "What my lord has been worried about is that Chang'an will send troops?"

"Hongnong has Xiliang Ma Teng, and if he joins forces with Yang Biao, there will be soldiers and horses to intercept us. Chang'an is related to the Chinese army. Huangfusong is an old fellow who is stupid and loyal. He will not disobey the emperor's wishes. If the decree is issued in the name of the Son of Heaven, the Guanzhong Army will definitely send troops!"

Mu Jing analyzed and said: "There are chasing troops in the back, and interceptions in front. I can only divide the troops into three groups to distract them. I have deduced the route of each route many times with you. We can make the decisions if we can prepare. , I don’t know if I can get out of this pass in the end, I can only talk about human affairs and obey the destiny!”

"God will not fail us!"

Xi Zhicai smiled lightly, and suddenly asked: "What about the Kwantung Allied Forces, could it be that they are so willing?"

"Willing is definitely not reconciled, and there will always be people who send troops to chase us!"

Mu Jing shrugged: "There are countless ambitious people in the Han Dynasty, but there are also many loyal ministers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and there are not a few who want to make a name for themselves with my head, Mu Jing!"

"It seems that although we killed Luoyang City at a small price, we have only entered a large encirclement from a small encirclement!" Xi Zhicai's eyes were like swords, and he said coldly: "Next, we still have to Fight to the death!"

……

……

noon.

Outside the upper east gate, the camp of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

"This fire has been burning for almost two days!"

Yuan Shao stood on the gate, staring at the flames of Luoyang City, the flames were still intense: "There has been no news, so the Mu Clan's army did not break through, and Mu Longtu should be dead!"

"Both Zhang Yang and Liu Bei have responded to the news. There is no trace of any Mu clan soldiers and horses in the north. Unless they go to the sky and enter the earth, they will not be able to escape!"

Cao Cao still had doubts, but his doubts were gradually submerged in this fact.

He couldn't think of any way for the Mu clan's army trapped in the sea of ​​flames to escape Luoyang by flying into the sky.

"Report!"

At this time, a soldier came from the south on horseback.

He came up, bowed his head and knelt down: "Report to the leader, this is a secret letter from General Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, to the leader!"

"Bring it up!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand.

A guard standing on his right went up, brought up the letter, and handed it to him. When he opened it, his pupils changed color, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"what happened?"

Cao Cao stepped forward, took a look, and his complexion changed drastically: "I never imagined that Luoshuihe, Luoshuihe can get out of Luoyang against Luoshuihe, damn it, we all let Mulongtu play tricks, he has already slipped from our noses The bottom has escaped!"

This is not Jiangdong. There are many rivers in Jiangdong, and the rivers flow in all directions, so the waterways will also be places where people are strictly guarded.

But in the Central Plains, in Luoyang City, basically there is no navy, so many people will subconsciously ignore the waterways. They put all their eyes on the gates of each city, but never thought that the Mujing army Leave from Luoshui River.

"Immediately summon all the princes to my camp!"

Yuan Shao ordered to call all the princes to discuss the military division.

Soon the princes came one by one, and sat down on the left and right.

Yuan Shao talked about the matter, and then said with a solemn expression, "Everyone, we were fooled. The little shepherd did not break out from the southeast and northwest directions at all. He has already led his army out of Luoyang City from the Luoshui River!"

"Luoshui River?"

"how is this possible?"

"Where did they get so many ships?"

All the princes made their voices.

"Leader, it's useless to talk about other things now, please order the leader, and immediately send troops to pursue!" Cao Cao stood up, knelt down on one knee, and cupped his hands.

"Walk in pursuit?"

At this time, the coalition forces were no longer able to work together as before, Qin Wang appeases the princes of Sheji, once Luoyang was burned, their thoughts became more and more these days.

Just yesterday, under the leadership of Tao Qian, the Xuzhou army had already left the coalition army and returned to Xuzhou on the grounds that they had suffered too many casualties and needed to rest.

There are not a few princes who want to leave.

Including the leader Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao discussed with his counselors all night last night, and the final result was that Han Fu had to return to Hebei earlier before he had a chance to seize Hebei.

So the topic of Cao Cao made them get a glimpse of each other.

"Munde!"

Yuan Shao put on a gesture and said: "The news has not been confirmed yet, so don't rush to send troops. Moreover, since our coalition forces have been fighting with the herdsmen for several months, the casualties are too heavy. It is really unsuitable. In the battle of Luoyang, tens of thousands of sons were burned, and now they are chasing Go on, there is not enough food and grass, why not wait first!"

Cao Cao looked around, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

Mu Longtu's fire was really ruthless.

The battle of Yongqiu was so tragic that these princes were not knocked down, but this fire burned out all their ambitions.

A military discussion broke up unhappy.

After Cao Cao returned to the camp, he pondered for a long time before making up his mind. He summoned all the generals directly and said, "The coalition forces have lost their minds and cannot be relied on. However, the posture of herding dragons and tigers and wolves, even though they are young, will cause serious trouble in the future. We I will never allow this beast to leave the world, and all the generals will follow me to pursue the enemy, if you are willing!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

Most of them are soldiers from Cao Cao's township party. They are absolutely loyal to Cao Cao and are willing to follow.

In the afternoon of that day, Cao Cao led his troops directly to the south.
