Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 47 Fire Luoyang, Wuling Army pursues
Lü Bu was also defeated for a while. Although the Xiliang army was very powerful, Dong Zhuo was still a little worried about his own life!He found his son-in-law Li Rudao: "The thieves in the Guandong group are very powerful. Does my son-in-law have a good plan to repel the enemy?"

"Father-in-law, Marquis Wen has just been defeated for a while. At this time, the soldiers have no fighting spirit and cannot fight!" Li Ru said.

"Except for Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, Luoyang has no other dangerous defensive positions! Why don't you give up Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, and avoid it for the time being? Wipe out the princes!"

After thinking about it, Li Ru said again.The princes of the Kanto region are working together at this time, and it is really difficult to deal with it.

Wu Shun gained a lot from this battle, and he was very happy all day long.Knowing that Dong Zhuo would abandon Luoyang, Wu Shun was ready to pursue Dong Zhuo.Of course he won't be the first to pursue.Dong Zhuo moved the capital to set up an ambush to block the pursuers, and the first one to pursue will definitely fail!
Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, ordered the princes from all walks of life to harass Hulao Pass day and night. Dong Zhuo was so annoyed that he finally decided to move the capital!

Sun Jian lost a lot of soldiers because he lost a battle when he was a vanguard.Although some deserters were caught later to replenish the number of soldiers, the shortage of soldiers still troubled Sun Jian.

Wu Shun saw that Sun Jian was very pleasing to the eye, so he sent a prisoner there to let him replenish his strength.Sun Jian was naturally very grateful, and he almost broke his heart.Of course, it is not easy to become a prince. Wu Shun just wanted to make Sun Jian stronger.These are in the coalition forces, and the two of them can have more say together.These days, if you don't have the strength, you have to be obedient.Then Liu Bei is a negative teaching material, using his identity as a Han family clan member to deceive and abduct everywhere, and put on a look of compassion.But if he has no soldiers or strength, if he goes to Yuan Shu, he will be despised and even kicked out of the tent!
Wu Shun was thinking about something, when suddenly a soldier came to report: "My lord, the direction of Luoyang is full of flames. Leader Yuan sent someone to invite my lord to discuss important matters!"

"It's finally started, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, don't let me down!"

Wu Shun said something thoughtlessly, then got up and went to Yuan Shao's camp.

"My lords, today Luoyang is full of flames. There must have been a great commotion. I will immediately enter the army, break through the two passes of Hulao and Sishui, and go to Luoyang to rescue him!" Yuan Shao said impassionedly.

"it is good."

"As it should be!"

"Advance immediately!"

"..."

The princes from all walks of life responded one after another.When Sun Jian attacked Sishui Pass, he broke through without much effort.It turned out that Zhao Cen, the general of the Xiliang Army, saw Luoyang's anger, and knew that Dong Zhuo must have given up on him.Although I am a small person, I still have some resentment in my heart after being abandoned like this.So in order to survive, he offered Sishui Pass to Sun Jian.

After Sun Jian entered the customs, he found that Luoyang was empty at this time, so he led his troops straight to the palace, and at the same time sent people to put out the fire.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao led the allied forces of the princes to attack Hulao Pass. Because there was no strong guard, Hulao Pass could not withstand the pace of the allied forces and was successfully breached.Yuan Shao also led people straight to the palace to participate in the fire fighting!
"At the beginning, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and robbed the emperor. Civil and military officials and many ordinary people must have been slow. Why didn't they send troops to pursue them, but instead stationed here to rest?"

Cao Cao was very depressed when he saw that the allied forces of the princes had stopped and stationed, and there was no sign of pursuing them. Is this how the princes came to attack Dong Zhuo?Even though there were organisms chasing Dong Zhuo, they camped here!
Cao Cao called on all the princes to attack Dong Zhuo together, but only Wu Shun agreed, and the rest of the princes said that the soldiers were tired and it was not appropriate to fight again!
Cao Cao was so angry that he cursed: "Shuzi is not enough to plan!" After greeting Wu Shun, he took Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan and other generals and more than [-] troops from his headquarters to chase in the direction of Chang'an.

Wu Shun is also in the army, obviously he is not in a hurry to pursue.It was a long time after Cao Cao left that Wu Shun set off slowly with the Wuling Army.

Knowing that he would be pursued by the princes, Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo should leave Lv Bu in ambush to prevent the enemy from pursuing, and then sent Xu Rong, the prefect of Xingyang.
Ambush in secret, and after Lu Bu defeated the pursuers, he sent troops to cover up and kill them, completely breaking the princes' desire to pursue.

Dong Zhuo's army escorted the people of Luoyang to Chang'an. On the way, the Xiliang army's military discipline was lax, and the soldiers committed countless crimes. As long as they walked slowly, they would be beaten, kicked, or whipped.Many people died like this!There are also some soldiers who insult their wives and daughters, and draw their swords at each other at the slightest resistance.The people's money and food were all robbed. At this time, they were starving, cold, and abused. The cries...the screams...the scolding...the whipping...weaved together into a miserable scene like hell.Many people fell down on the way to Chang'an.

On the way Cao Cao pursued, he saw corpses discarded all the way on both sides of the road.Hatred for Dong Zhuo is like the water of the Yellow River.Immediately ordered to speed up, must catch up with Xiliang army, kill him!
Cao Jun was burying his head in pursuit, when he suddenly saw Lu Bu leading his troops waiting in front of him!General Xiahou Dun of the Cao Army swung his sword and took Lu Bu straight.Suddenly Guo Si led troops to attack from the left side of Cao Jun. Cao Cao hurriedly asked Xia Houyuan to lead troops to fight. After a while, Li Jue led troops to attack from Cao Jun's right side. Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to lead troops to kill Li Jue.

Lv Bu fought Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun was defeated, Pegasus fled, Lv Bu led the Xiliang iron cavalry to cover up and kill.Cao Jun was defeated, and Cao Cao led the remnant soldiers to flee to Xingyang...

In the valley near Xingyang, Xu Rong waited for a long time. When he saw Cao Cao's remnant soldiers coming, they all went out in ambush.The remnant soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and fled away.

Cao Cao, who was fleeing, was shot in the shoulder by Xu Rong with an arrow, and rolled off his horse. Without his horse, he would surely die in this chaotic battlefield!
"My lord, get on your horse!" It turned out that it was Cao Hong, a son of the Cao family, who came.Give up the horse to Cao Cao.

"Then what do you do?" Cao Cao was moved in his heart, but he also knew that without the horse, Cao Hong's life was uncertain!

"There can be no Cao Hong in this world, but you, Meng De, can't live without you. I need to run away. Don't worry, Meng De will do it!"

Cao Cao didn't talk too much, just got on his horse and ran away.Cao Hong took off his heavy armor, dragged his sword and followed Cao Cao!

"Then why Wuling Wushun hasn't arrived yet? Even if the Baihuying is heavy infantry, they should have arrived. Could it be that I chased too quickly and the Wuling army didn't keep up?" Cao Cao thought to himself.

While running, Cao Cao saw a big river lying ahead.The road ahead is cut off.

"Is this God's death for me!" Cao Cao was distressed, Xu Rong was chasing after him, and there was no way ahead, what should he do.Most of the northerners are landlubbers, and entering the water is tantamount to suicide.

"Meng De get off the horse, I'll carry you across the river!"

Cao Hong helped the injured Cao Cao off his horse, then took off his clothes, and swam across the river with Cao Cao on his back!When the pursuers reached the river bank, they saw Cao Cao in the middle of the river and shot arrows, but unfortunately they were out of reach.

Estimating that Cao Cao had already retreated, Wu Shun ordered to speed up.Lian Lu's corpse had filled Wu Shun's heart with hostility.Dong Zhuo really is not as good as a pig or a dog. Wouldn't his conscience hurt if he killed innocent people like this?
In order to chase Cao Cao, Xu Rong, the prefect of Xingyang, was preparing to find a shallow place to cross the river.Suddenly a group of men and horses came, Xu Rongjun was caught off guard and was defeated by Wu Shun.Wu Shun, who had no room to vent his anger, personally led the charge and stabbed Xu Rong to death with one shot, killing and wounding countless enemy soldiers.After leaving behind the guards to guard the soldiers, Wu Shun pursued Dong Zhuo again!

Lü Bu drove Cao Cao away, and the other princes did not dare to pursue him, so they chased Dong Zhuo's chariot with horses.

It didn't take long for Wu Shun to catch up with the Luoyang people's team. After fighting and defeating the guarding Xiliang army, Wu Shun couldn't bear to see the naked and skinny people, so he ordered the soldiers to cook porridge and distribute it to the people to eat. .Another big fire was raised to keep the people warm. All the rescued people were grateful to Wu Shun!

After confiscating the weapons of about 1 soldiers from Xiliang, Wu Shun left Guan Hai to lead the White Tiger Camp to guard, and he led [-] horses to pursue them.The people's team has already caught up, Dong Zhuo should not be far away!
