Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

Chapter 61 Re-entering Luoyang

Zheng Yu led Zou Fang, Zou Yuan, and Eighteen Golden Spear Guards to the south of Dongyuan City on horseback.Seeing the banners waving in front, Lu Bu's army was retreating southward in an orderly manner.There were fewer and fewer people, and soon they disappeared.

"Xiao Yun, what should we do, chase or not?"

Cao Cao stood on the hillock, looked at the dust rising from the south, rubbed his hands, opened his eyes wide, and looked excited.This time, they successfully achieved their goal, but facing such an opportunity, Cao Cao wanted to steal the opportunity to take advantage of it.I thought to myself that the opposite side is Lu Bu's army, if they can really defeat it, or capture most of the enemy for their use, then use this as a basis to conquer the world, why not worry about it?

Cao Cao's mind was crooked, but Zheng Yu poured cold water on him.

"The opponent's battles are very methodical. When retreating, they cover alternately and are orderly. It is impossible to steal an opportunity. If so, they may lose a lot of money. Cao Gong must be mentally prepared." Zheng Yu said with a smile.For him, the goal is achieved, everything is fine, and the rest is none of his business.

Cao Cao rubbed his hands again, and said embarrassingly, "Forget it, it's just talking."

Standing by the side, Liu Bei asked Zheng Yu earnestly, "Xiaoyun, what should we do next?" In his heart, he regarded Zheng Yu as the backbone, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him were also staring at the tiger. Look at Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu laughed and said, "Ask Mr. Cao. He is the leader of the coalition army. Maybe he can compete with Yuan Shao outside Hulao Pass? It's fine to bicker. Or maybe Dong Zhuo will use this to retreat, so Mr. Cao can take us with him." Entering Luoyang City swaggeringly?"

Hearing Luoyang City, Cao Cao glared and said excitedly: "Yes, Luoyang, let's enter Luoyang City!"

Lu Bu's army retreated to the bank of the Yellow River, and there was no movement, as if waiting to see.

Cao Cao left a small number of troops to monitor this area, while the main force marched towards Hanoi County.

Zheng Yu asked Tai Shici, Zhang Jai, and Ma Sheng to return to Changshan with the main force, and he personally led Zou Fang, Zou Yuan, and Zhao Yun with a thousand cavalry to follow Cao Cao eastward, preparing to go to Luoyang to chat with the Kanto princes. Just show your head and get some credit.

Zheng Da's Eighteen Golden Spear Guards and Zhao Yong's personal troops accompanied him.

Zheng Yu was riding an oolong horse, and beside him was Zou Yuan and Zou Fang in military uniform. The two women were more beautiful than Hua, making him feel like he was in the middle of flowers. At this moment, he really wanted to scream proudly.

When they arrived at the bank of the Yellow River in Hanoi County, they received news that Lu Bu's army crossed the Yellow River south and returned to Hangu Pass to garrison.However, Sun Jian's troops had occupied Luoyang, and Yuan Shao's army had crossed Hulao Pass and was marching towards Luoyang.Cao Cao hurriedly asked the troops to speed up the march, and he wanted to go to Luoyang to get some credit.

After crossing the Yellow River, he arrived outside Luoyang in a few days.

At this time, Luoyang was under the control of Sun Jian, and Sun Jian's troops were at the gate of the city.

Hearing that Cao Liu and Zheng Yu were coming together, Sun Jian hastily went out to greet him personally, greeted Cao Cao and Liu Bei, then dragged Zheng Yu aside and said: "After Bo Fu returned home, he told me about his sworn brotherhood with Xiao Yun in Qingzhou. , After I told my family, everyone was very happy, and besides, I have agreed to betroth Shang Xiang to you, and I can come to Jiangdong to marry you in a few years."

Zheng Yu was overjoyed immediately, and thought to himself: This foster father will be called father-in-law from now on. He wanted to ask about Xiao Qiao, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, and Sun Jian didn't mention a word, so Zheng Yu had no choice but to ask about Xiao Qiao. Buried these words in my stomach for the future.

Then, Sun Jian led Zheng Yu and others into Luoyang City.

Soon, news came that Yuan Shao and other Kwantung princes arrived in Luoyang soon, and Sun Quan went to meet them.

Cao Cao took Zheng Yu's hand and said to him: "Let's also go to see Yuan Benchu, hmph, does he have the face to enter Luoyang at this time?" After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and followed Sun Jian with Zheng Yu and Liu Bei. Greeted outside the east gate.

Zheng Yu took a few steps forward and talked to Sun Jian: "Father, it is said that Dong Zhuo has gathered [-] soldiers, and he may prepare to go east to Hangu Pass to fight against Dong's army. At this time, should Yuan Benchu ​​lead the Guandong princes to fight? Drinking and having fun outside Hulao Pass all day is nothing more than trying to get a good reputation, but it is to preserve strength."

Seeing what Zheng Yu said, Sun Jian couldn't help "humming", and said in a deep voice: "He also hopes that other people will fight Dong Zhuo to the death and life, so that both sides will suffer. Such a fox is really cunning."

Zheng Yu, who came from later generations, understands the truth of this even more.

Therefore, it is said: "Emperor Han was controlled by Dong Zhuo. This Han court is equivalent to Dong's court. He is coercing the emperor to order the princes. But it is perverted, and no one will obey the Han court order. Therefore, we will only discuss Dong. It is meaningless to continue fighting until this point. Since then, the Han Dynasty has lost its deer, and the princes of the world will pursue it. It is the right way to maintain strength and participate in the struggle for hegemony. Once the father-in-law is done, you can quickly return to Jiangdong and lay down a piece of land. !"

Sun Jian sighed, and said helplessly, "Han's heart has been lost, there is nothing to do!"

While talking, a group of people came from a distance, mighty and mighty, it was Yuan Benchu ​​who had arrived.

Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Zheng Yu all just stood at the gate of the city and did not step forward.

Sun Jian turned his head and whispered to Zheng Yu: "It's a courtesy for us to come here to welcome you. After all, he is the chief ally of the eighteenth princes' alliance to seek Dong Dong, but Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't deserve our respect for him."

Sun Jian took half a step back, but Cao Cao took the initiative to meet him, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, and said loudly: "Your Excellency Yuan is welcome to occupy Luoyang City. The matter of begging Dong has now achieved a great victory. In the future, I will invite Yuan Benchu ​​to lead the Kwantung princes." Attack Hangu Pass, rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, help the Han Dynasty, and save the people from the fire and water!"

Cao Cao's words made Yuan Shao blush, so he had the cheek to salute with everyone, greeted each other a few words, and returned to the city.

The eighteen princes gathered together to discuss Dong Daye.

Cao Cao said unceremoniously: "Yuan Benchu's general leader led the eighteen princes to recharge their batteries outside Hulao Pass. This time they must be strong and strong. Dong Zhuo's troops were repulsed by Sun Polu and us. At this time, they have returned. Guanzhong, next we will ask Yuan Benchu ​​to take the Guandong princes who have already recharged their energy to capture Hangu Pass, march westward to Chang'an, and rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty."

Sun Jian also said: "When we captured Luoyang, we fought with the enemy and suffered heavy casualties. In the next battle, we really need to rely on the efforts of the Guandong princes. Otherwise, leading the army just to look west from Hulao Pass will make the world ridicule. "Sun Jian has a straight temper. To Yuan Shao and other Kwantung princes, these words are a bit rude.

Cao Cao went on to say: "Earlier, Zheng Xiaoyun went deep into the Guanzhong alone, first beheaded Dong Zhuo's general Zhang Ji, and then fought Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu at Niutouling, wiped out all the cavalry he brought, and Niu Fu fled alone. Xiaoyun led his troops on the west bank of the Yellow River After defeating Xu Rong's [-] soldiers, Xu Rong fled back to Chang'an with hundreds of people. Then, Xiaoyun, Cao, and Liu Shijun formed a joint army against Dong Zhuo. First, they killed Hua Xiong. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought against Dong Zhuo's number one general, Lv Bu. ..."

Cao Cao proudly discussed "Cao, Zheng and Liu" for the combat achievements of the Dong Lianjun, and said everything.

"We fought against Lv Bu and Hua Xiong's army in Hedong County, annihilating more than ten thousand enemies, and finally forced Lv Bu to retreat to Hangu Pass with the remnants of the defeated army. The next step is to see Yuan Benchu, the leader of the alliance and the princes of the Kwantung, really discuss Dong." Cao Cao said Not only ridiculed, but also merciless.

Yuan Benchu ​​blushed and glared at Cao Cao, feeling extremely dissatisfied.

But the Kwantung princes did not even meet Dong Zhuo's hair in this battle against Dong, so they couldn't help feeling guilty, but they still gritted their teeth and said: "Although my Kwantung [-]th Route Army did not directly fight Dong Zhuo's army, we have stationed troops outside the pass to contain the enemy. Dong Zhuo has an army of tens of thousands, this is a great contribution! Cao Mengde is going to be ridiculed."

Seeing that this guy was still talking about merit, Zheng Yu couldn't help feeling angry.

He said coldly: "My lord, Yuan Benchu, when Xiao Yun sent his envoy to see you, he wanted to take part in the battle against Dong under his command. Although Xiao Yun is just a small Shanggu prefect, he also understands the righteousness, knows Dong Zhuo's disorderly power, and coerces Dong Zhuo. If the Emperor Xian and the ministers of the court do not kill them, but let them "hold the emperor to order the princes", the world will be in chaos, and the Han Dynasty will be wiped out. At the beginning, the master was the general leader of the Dong army, and he only restrained Dong Zhuo's army It is not enough, you must lead your army to Hangu Pass and fight Dong Zhuo decisively."

When Zheng Yu spoke, his attitude was sincere, his expression was serious, there was no sneer on his face, and his words were reasonable, which immediately won the approval of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.Yuan Shao and the other princes of the Guandong quickly lowered their heads, but they were thinking in their hearts that this time they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Furthermore, they saw that Cao Aman could defeat Dong, fight Lu Bu, and kill Hua Xiong, so they were eager to try.The princes from all walks of life soon reached an agreement that Yuan Shao would command troops to advance westward and attack Hangu Pass.
