Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 43 Cao Cao smiled crookedly
  After crossing Hangu Pass, Cao Cao was surprised to find that there were completely two worlds outside the pass and inside the pass.

It was calm outside Hangu Pass, as if the world was peaceful, but inside the pass it was completely chaotic.

In the counties around Chang'an, Xiliang soldiers could be seen burning, killing, looting, and even setting fire to the city from time to time.

This is not over yet. After one wave of Xiliang soldiers destroyed it, another wave of Xiliang soldiers rushed out to strangle the rebels.

In line with the principle of having an advantage and not taking advantage of the bastard, Cao Jun was cheating all the way. Not only did he make up for the baggage he had previously stationed outside Hangu Pass, but he also made a lot of money.

Windfall.

Just then, Cao Jun swallowed up another small group of troops and was collecting the spoils of war.

In ancient times, productivity was low, and weapons and armor were a top priority. With these trophies, Cao Cao could raise an army in an instant.

On the contrary, if there are no weapons and armor, even if you recruit soldiers, they will just be peasants without weapons.

Among the princes, Dong Zhuo was undoubtedly the richest, and the equipment of the Xiliang soldiers was also the best.

At this time, there was a flying horse coming from the front.

Report! ~
  The scout stopped in front of Cao Cao's carriage and quickly dismounted.

"Lord, a large cavalry force has been spotted ahead."

Xiliang Cavalry!

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, he really did whatever he was afraid of.

Among Cao Cao's 30,000 troops, there were only 5,000 cavalry, and the remaining 25,000 were infantry. Encountering a large group of cavalry on the plains was simply a nightmare.

Run, can't run. Cao Cao can't leave all his infantry and run away.

Fighting would be too much of a loss. As we all know, the Xiliang Flying Bear Cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and is definitely the overlord among the cavalry. And many of the five thousand cavalry in Cao's army have never seen blood.
  A discerning eye can tell which of the new recruits are better and worse at a glance.

"Have you seen the number of enemy troops clearly?"

The scout paid his respects again: "A rough estimate of the Wuyangyang area is about ten thousand."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and ordered to Cao Ren beside him: "Line up! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"promise!"

Before Cao Ren could turn his horse around, he saw another flying horse running towards Cao Cao's carriage.

The man was not a scout. He was eight feet tall and handsome. He was carrying a nine-foot spear.

Xiahou Dun, named Yuan Rang.

One of Cao Cao's favorite generals, and also synonymous with the fierce generals in Cao's army. But that was already before Zhang Wu surrendered to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Dun did not dismount, but only clasped his fists at Cao Cao on horseback: "My lord, Li Jue has arrived in front of the front army to ask for an audience."

"Li Jue, it's actually Li Jue! This guy is Dong Zhuo's confidant. Why does he want to see me?"

"He didn't tell the general, he only said that he wanted to meet the lord."

"Don't worry, my lord," Guo Jia picked up the wine gourd on his waist beside the carriage and wanted to take a few sips, but found that the gourd only had fresh water instead of fine wine, and laughed awkwardly:
  "The Xiliang army has done many unjust things. If Dong Zhuo dies, the old army will be as frightened as a lost dog. My lord, please go and have a look. Maybe there will be some surprises."

"Although Dong Zhuo is dead, there are still 400,000 people in his old army. Is it possible that Li Jue can still vote for me?"

"My lord, you will know once you find out."

Cao Cao followed Xiahou Dun to the front of the army formation with suspicion, and found a group of cavalry behind Li Jue lined up, holding their horses and sheathing their swords, with no intention of charging. Cao Cao was
  Be determined.

Even if a fight broke out at this distance, the cavalry would not be able to charge forward. Cao Cao was not afraid at all and even believed Guo Jia's words.

"General Zhiran asked to see me, Cao, by name. I don't know if I can give you any advice." Because he was not sure whether the other party came to seek refuge with him, Cao Cao still spoke in a very serious tone.
  Polite.

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Li Jue and his generals got off their horses and knelt down on one knee: "I have seen your lord." This move made Cao Cao a little confused. Even if they wanted to come to seek refuge with him, there was no need to come up. Call yourself lord, the normal process shouldn't be like this

Son.

"Hey, how can you call someone Cao your lord?"

Li Jue clasped his fists and said, "Before Chang'an executed Dong, I was recruited by General Zhang Wu. I am willing to lead my lord's horse to the ground and charge into the formation. I also ask your lord not to abandon Li as a fool."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, got off his horse and helped Li Jue up: "How dare I despise my general who is as powerful as a tiger. But since Dong Zhuo is dead, why don't you stay in Chang'an City?"

Assist Zi Qian to stabilize the situation. "

"My lord Rong Zhen, after gathering the Fei Xiong army, Sishui Pavilion was waiting for the general to collect the remaining Xiliang army, and he led 20,000 Fei Xiong to guard Chang'an and wait for the lord, the general

During the march, I saw a large flag with the word "Cao" in it. I knew that my lord was coming, so I came to pay my respects. "

At that moment, Li Jue explained in detail how Zhang Wu broke through three thousand flying bear troops with one man and one horse, broke open the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a big gun, killed Dong Zhuo, and deceived the emperor.

Cao Cao's eyes shone when he heard this, and he praised him for his "courage".

On the other hand, Xiahou Dun, who was following Cao Cao, didn't look convinced, and his fists clenched.

"Zi Qian is not only the most brave general in the world, but also the most blessed general in the world. I am lucky to have him, I am lucky to have him!"

Cao Cao's old face was almost crooked with a smile. He had already begun to think about whether to betroth his four-year-old daughter to Zhang Wu. It would be half a son-in-law, otherwise Cao Cao

I really don’t know what to reward him with. Anyway, that boy was as famous for his lechery as he was for his bravery. During the war, he even brought women with him. Even Yuan Shu, the dandy, was
  Don't dare to play like this.

Killing Dong Zhuo, holding the emperor hostage, and capturing the flying bears. Completing any one of these three things is a huge reward, but that kid has been out for two months and finished them all.

The reason why the Xiliang army was able to occupy Luoyang and look down upon the princes of the world was because of the strength of its iron cavalry.

Cao Cao knew very well that now that he had recruited 30,000 flying bears, he would soon become the next Dong Zhuo and become the largest prince in the world.

Cao Cao further believed that he was not Dong Zhuo and would not ruin his great future, and with Zhang Wu's allegiance, he was only stronger than Dong Zhuo.

After all, Zhang Wu Fourteen will be able to defeat Lu Bu. In ten years, will there be anyone in the world who can be the opponent of that monster?
  Zhang Wu, who was in Chang'an, didn't know that Cao Cao and Li Jue had already joined forces and rushed towards Chang'an.

Now he is extremely busy.

First, Lu Bu gathered some Xiliang soldiers and evacuated Chang'an.

Later, Guo Si incorporated Niu Fu's troops and built a high-walled stronghold in Xiwu to peek into Chang'an.

There was also the Baibo thief Yang Feng, who gathered some of the remaining troops and served the emperor under the guise of loyalty.

Zhang Wu could understand Lu Bu's running away. After all, Lu Bu had the fewest remnant troops to control, and because he was the one who betrayed Dong Zhuo, he was hostile to many of Dong Zhuo's old troops.

Chang'an will definitely not be able to tolerate him.

Guo Si devoured Xiwu's wealth and Zhang Wu could bear it for the time being. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue surrendered to the enemy again. He became the oldest general in the Xiliang army and received twenty

Wanxi Liangjia soldiers, it doesn't matter if they go crazy for the time being, but he doesn't have the guts to really attack Chang'an anyway.

What disgusted Zhang Wu the most was that Yang Feng. You said that you, a Baibo thief, had just been recruited, and you jumped out to act like a loyal minister and filial son. But the emperor and his ministers only ate this
  Set, you have three to five hundred people, and I have one or two thousand domestic slaves to deliver them to Yang Feng's military camp. They want money for money, and equipment for equipment. At this moment, Yang Fengshao said that he had mastered it.
  An army of no less than 50,000 people.

Yang Feng was like a toad lying on his feet. Zhang Wu was greedy for Guo Bin's wealth and wanted to send troops, but he was also afraid that Yang Feng would occupy Chang'an and kidnap the emperor. Don't bite
  He is really annoying.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wu had no way to kill him directly. The key was that there was no excuse.

There was already a chaotic war in Chang'an because of the demand for Dong. At that time, the chaotic war could be said to be due to righteousness. Now, if Yang Feng is killed, it will not be tolerated in name. If

When the war breaks out again, Bai Xin in Chang'an can drown Zhang Wu with a mouthful of foam.
