The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 114 Sudden Arrival in Luoyang
"Dong Zhuo must retreat, and this is the time when the army has captured Hulao Pass."

Dong Zhuo naturally didn't know that when he left Hulao Pass, Wei Tao was speaking to the princes of the road.

"Now that Lv Bu has been defeated, Dong Zhuo's army regards Lv Bu as the god of war. Once Lv Bu is defeated, his army's morale will be lost, and he will not dare to fight again. That old thief Dong Zhuo is the most cunning. How could he stay in a dangerous place? He will definitely return to Luoyang. If we are here Shi Jinjun will be able to break through the Hulao pass and capture Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, please don't hesitate, the leader and everyone!"

Besides Wei Tao, who else dared to be so sure that Dong Zhuo would retreat?Although they heard Wei Tao's convincing words, few people agreed in the end.

Obviously, within a short period of time, the Kwantung Allied Forces were already satisfied with their current achievements, especially Yuan Shao, who was even more reluctant to refuse, which made people suspect that they did not want to enter Luoyang at all.

In fact, Wei Tao understood that there was news these days that Yuan Shao would send several people to Youzhou every day.

Although he didn't know what those people were talking about when they went to Youzhou, Wei Tao knew from the history of later generations that Yuan Shao was probably playing with the idea of ​​supporting Liu Yu as emperor.

The greatest contribution is the contribution of support, and if Liu Yu wants to become the emperor, then the support of the military power is indispensable.

There are not many soldiers under Liu Yu's command, so naturally he can only rely on Yuan Shao.

It's a pity, obviously, Yuan Shao's idea is not so easy to achieve, at least as far as Wei Tao knows, Liu Yu is not a person with too many ambitions, and he is very loyal to the big man, so he will never agree to Yuan Shao's idea.

"My lord's words are not unreasonable, but my lord should know what the people who come here are thinking."

It was not until he returned to his camp that Zhou Yu asked.

"Everything is based on stability. If Dong Zhuo really retreats to Luoyang on his own, then the Hulao Pass will be destroyed by itself. It only takes a few days to besieged and he can drive straight into Luoyang. Why waste his troops? As for Dong Zhuo, who harmed Luoyang and the government. ...Haha...I'm afraid even Cao Mengde doesn't think so!"

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao could only smile wryly. Although the words were not pleasant, they were true.

If Cao Cao was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who followed the rules, he might still be worried, but Wei Tao knew that Cao Cao might be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but he was definitely not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. That is, there will be great chaos first and then great rule.

Is it unusual for a capable minister to rule the world and a hero in troubled times?

"I want to enter Luoyang."

After being silent for a while, Wei Tao just said.

"Although Luoyang has a strong city, it is not enough to respond to the Kwantung Allied Forces. What's more, there have long been rumors in Luoyang that there is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It is not difficult to walk into Chang'an. I am afraid it is Prepare for this."

"Brother, do you mean that Dong Zhuohui abandoned Luoyang and moved to Chang'an?"

Zhou Yu also knew what he heard, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but praise him.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo's subordinates are also capable people, so the method of advancing is retreating. Now the coalition forces seem to be in harmony, once they enter Luoyang, I'm afraid... if they split up and attack at that time, Dong Zhuo may not have the opportunity to make big things. However, Now that the Hulao Pass is at hand, it is extremely difficult to be like Luoyang, and why did my brother come to Luoyang?"

Zhou Yu also understood that even if Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, it would not have much impact on Wei Tao.

And even though Dong Zhuo was defeated now, his strength has not been damaged at all. Now going to Luoyang, he feels like he has thrown himself into a trap.

Wei Tao smiled slightly, naturally it was impossible to say that Dong Zhuo would burn, kill and loot in Luoyang.

Although with Dong Zhuo's temperament, once he decides to move the capital to Chang'an, it will definitely be the case.

In fact, this time Wei Tao really didn't have any good intentions.

"If Dong Zhuo abandons Luoyang, the guards at Hulao Pass will definitely surrender. Dong Zhuo's army is moving very fast, but it is not fast when it is loaded with food and supplies. If they can attack them, won't they get a lot of food and grass? Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty , the abundance of food and grass, needless to say.”

Wei Tao smiled slightly but said.

"If you enter Luoyang and the coalition forces fall apart, then the supply of food and grass is the most important thing. The brothers of the Yuan family have righteousness and command the food and grass. Once they fall apart, won't they be controlled by others? At this time, there is no rush to transport food and grass. We should seize Dong Jun's food and grass. also."

Zhou Yu is indeed the kind of foolish, loyal and stubborn person. He didn't react too much to Wei Tao's statement, but silently nodded in agreement with Wei Tao's statement.

"Hulao Xiongguan is in front, blocking the way, but although the pass is high, there are no trails in the mountain? If my brother visits Orion all over the place, he should be able to pass through. Naturally, hundreds of elite men are not enough to seize all their belongings, but to capture me It's enough for the army."

Zhou Yu is indeed a resourceful man, and he gave Wei Tao the answer in just a moment.

"My younger brother is my arm."

With Zhou Yu planning for it, Wei Tao also felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately nodded with a smile.

Hulao Pass is sparsely populated, not to mention that it is a big war at this time, but after careful inspection, one or two hunters can still be found.

After detailed questioning, it turns out that there is indeed a small path through Hulao Pass, but the path is narrow and difficult to pass through.

But Wei Tao had already prepared for this, and immediately ordered Orion to lead the way and cross the border.

Needless to say, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and dozens of elite Wei Tao soldiers were lost. Even so, it took two days to walk through it.

This is because the defense of Hulao Pass has been relaxed, otherwise, as long as a team of soldiers is sent, Wei Tao and his party of hundreds of people will all become shackles.

At the same time, I have to say that Hulao Xiongguan is a dangerous place. If Dong Zhuo didn't feel comfortable and didn't want to take the risk of sending Lv Bu, it would be difficult to get off just because of this Xiongguan without a year or so of attack.

"Be careful to hide your whereabouts and go straight to Luoyang."

Wei Tao had already made up his mind, and immediately ordered the more than [-] soldiers who came with him to rush to Luoyang with him.

Not to mention walking day and night all the way, but Wei Tao has seen soldiers looting people's things from time to time along the way, and if they are a little negligent, they will draw their swords at each other.

Seeing this, Wei Tao understood even more that Dong Zhuo might have decided to move the capital to Chang'an and plunder the rich households in Luoyang, even the people around Luoyang would not be spared.

"Although this kind of behavior can make a fortune for a while, the people of Luoyang will hate it to the bone. How can they return in the future? Moreover, with such a move, it may be even more difficult to fight for world hegemony in the future. Dong Zhuo was really dazzled by the success for a while. , so short-sighted."

Seeing the scene all the way, and the closer to Luoyang, the more so, Wei Tao couldn't help but secretly lamented Dong Zhuo's ignorance in his heart.

"General, there!"

At this moment, a guard hurriedly shouted.

At this time, Luoyang City is only a few miles away, and the location of Luoyang City can also be vaguely seen. Wei Tao looked up and was immediately taken aback.

I saw that where Luoyang City was located, a piece of fire was rising into the sky, even if it was several miles away, it could still be seen.

"really……"

Wei Tao said silently for a while, this big Han emperor would not be able to avoid this after all.

However, Wei Tao was already prepared in his heart, and this trip was not to prevent Luoyang from being burned, but to seek the wealth that Dong Zhuo had seized from Luoyang.

It is naturally impossible to capture all of them, but it should not be difficult to intercept some of them.

"Come with me!"

With an order, Wei Tao led hundreds of soldiers and headed straight towards Luoyang without hiding their whereabouts.

When we arrived in Luoyang, we saw countless large and small convoys desperately driving towards Chang'an, surrounded by soldiers from Xiliang.

"How dare Dong Zhuo do this? Chen Liu and Wei Tao are here, and the coalition forces have arrived. If you don't surrender quickly, when will you wait?"

Wei Tao yelled loudly, and immediately led someone to kill him.

"The tiger prison is broken? Did you surrender to the coalition forces?"

Hu Zhen, the general under Dong Zhuo's command, was in charge at the end. He was urging the supervisor to transport the grain and the gold and silver he had seized. When he suddenly saw Wei Tao's arrival, he was so shocked that he couldn't react for a while.

But Wei Tao doesn't care so much, if the opponent sees through his suspicious strategy, then his plan to rob Dong Zhuo's property will fail, so he rushed to see Hu Zhen immediately.

"die!"

Hu Zhen's martial arts was originally between the second and third rate, and it was even more unbearable when he was shocked. However, after Wei Tao fought with Lu Bu, he found that Lu Bu's halberd technique was faintly similar to his own, and he understood more.

Caught off guard, this Hu Zhen was even more unbearable, Wei Tao shot down with a halberd, Hu Zhen was so stupid that he didn't know how to hide, he was cut by Wei Tao with a halberd, and immediately took his life.

"Dong Zhuo has already been defeated, and the coalition forces are approaching. If you don't surrender quickly, when will you wait?"

After Wei Tao stabbed Hu Zhen to death with his halberd, he didn't hesitate much, he just shouted loudly with his long halberd.

"Anyone who refuses to surrender will be shot to death!"

"promise!"

The more than 300 soldiers are all the elite among the elite, and when they respond, there is a faint image of thousands of troops and horses, which makes people intimidated.

The truly elite Xiliang soldiers were naturally guarding Dong Zhuo's side. These Xiliang soldiers who fell at the end were a group that was not taken seriously. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

"If you don't surrender, kill!"

Wei Tao didn't bother to pay attention to so much, as soon as he finished his sentence, he swept out with a halberd, and immediately punished one person. Seeing Wei Tao's movement, all his subordinates naturally began to kill Xiliang soldiers.

"Surrender! I surrender!"

As soon as Xiliang soldiers surrendered, others also surrendered one after another. A large amount of supplies fell into Wei Tao's hands, including a large amount of food and grass, as well as a lot of gold, silver and jewels. Down a tenth.

"Ziyu, good! Good! You really lived up to my expectations and came to rescue him, but the other reinforcements came here? Quick! Quick! Come with me to rescue His Majesty!"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, and Wei Tao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It turned out to be Wang Yun.
