Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19
As the sun sets, the day fades and the night falls, the sky is dotted with stars, and a round of bright moon hangs high in the sky. The soft moonlight shines on this world, guiding travelers in the dark to the direction of light.

"Brother Meng De, do you really intend to chase after Dong thief at night?" Under the soft moonlight, Li Song asked as he looked at his gear ready to attack Cao Cao's army at night.

"Meng De! Dong Thief is very treacherous and cunning. I'm afraid it's not good for you to go deep alone! It's not too late to make a decision on this matter until all the princes gather in Luoyang." Sun Jian who heard the news hurriedly persuaded him.

"Now that Dong Zhuo has hijacked the emperor and moved the capital, the world is shocked. It is a good time to send troops to eliminate Dong Zhuo. The princes from all walks of life are attacking Dong Zhuo in name, but in fact they just want to take this opportunity to develop and strengthen themselves."

"The princes from all walks of life seem to be powerful, but they are afraid of Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army and dare not pursue them. When they come, I am afraid it will be too late." Cao Cao said.

"Brother Cao! Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army has many generals and is brave and good at fighting. If you lead the army alone, you will undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg." Li Song said.

"Don't worry, brother! I won't fight him head-on. As long as Cheng Gao is captured, Dong Zhuo will be wiped out!" Cao Cao said confidently.

You may not have this chance. You were beaten by Xu Rong's guys in Bianshui, Xingyang, and you suffered heavy casualties. If it wasn't for Cao Hong, you might have to confess to being there. Bliss is really ignorance!

I just don't know if you will still be so confident when the time comes, thinking that Cao Cao was full of hope in history, but hit a wall in Bianshui in Xingyang, and you can't help grinning.

"Brother! I don't know why you are laughing?" Cao Cao looked at Li Song without saying a word, and asked with an inexplicable smile.

"I just heard that Dong Zhuo can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers. I was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing. Brother Cao and all the adults should not be offended by the impoliteness!" Li Song, who came back to his senses, hurriedly found an excuse to prevaricate.

"It turns out that Li Taishou is also a lover!" Bao Tao said after taking the words, everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and smiling, and the haze in their hearts dissipated a lot.

"It's getting late, I still have to chase Dong Zhuo, so I'm leaving!" Cao Cao got on his horse and said goodbye, Bao Xin, Cao Hong and others also got on their horses one after another.

"Meng De, be careful all the way!" Sun Jian cupped his hands.

"Brother Cao! How about I go with you?" Li Song asked.

"Don't bother my brother, I'd better clean up Luoyang with brother Wentai, wait for me to welcome the emperor back, so that the emperor can have a place to stay in the future." Cao Cao looked at Li Song's erratic eyes, naturally Knowing what he was thinking, she pushed the boat along the way and let him stay.

"So, I'm here to congratulate Brother Cao for the victory!" Li Song heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands.

"Farewell!" Cao Cao and others whipped their horses and chased and killed Dong Zhuo's troops all night long.

"Prefect Sun, let's go back too!" Li Song said to Sun Jian who was beside him, looking at the troops going away.

"Well! It's getting late, so let's go back together!" Sun Jian said, and the group walked back to the camp without saying a word.

Sun Jian and the others who returned to the camp were worried and didn't want to sleep. Compared with the worried Sun Jian and the others, Li Song slept until dawn.

In the middle of the night, Dong Zhuo's chariot arrived in Xingyang, and Xu Rong, the general of Zhonglang, came to pick him up. Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to lead his troops to block the advance of the coalition forces. Dong Zhuo did not stop in Xingyang, but continued westward.

The next morning, Li Song, who woke up naturally from sleep, stretched his arms, got up, and dressed neatly with the help of his soldiers.well!This outfit is really troublesome, if you really can't wear it by yourself, now you finally understand that dignitaries need a large number of servants, not just for pleasure.

"My lord! Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, is gathering troops!" Li Song, who was dressed, suddenly heard a soldier coming to report.

"Oh! Do you know why he gathered troops?" Li Song asked.

"This, my subordinates don't know!"

What does Sun Jian want to do when he gathers his troops neatly?Could it be that he really got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo?He is planning to go back to Jiangdong.

Li Song thought of a possibility. In history, Sun Jian hurried back to Jiangdong after getting the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and died in the hands of Liu Biao when he passed Jingzhou.

Whether it is true or not, you will know if you go and see, Li Song thought of this, and said to the soldier: "Go, go and see what Sun Jian is going to do."

"No!" The soldiers were ordered to follow Li Song to find Sun Jian.

When Li Song saw Sun Jian in Sun Jian's camp, he seated himself as guest and host, and asked directly, "Prefect Sun, what are you planning to do by gathering troops suddenly?"

"Hey! Let me tell you the truth, Prefect Li. When we first formed the alliance, our original intention was to eliminate Dong Zhuo. But look at the present, the princes from all walks of life have completely forgotten their original intentions for their own selfish desires. It's so disappointing."

"Recently, my battle wounds have frequently occurred. My Jiangdong disciples suffered heavy casualties and were unable to fight any more. I wanted to go back to Jiangdong to recuperate from my wounds, so I assembled the troops. Please forgive me for the abruptness." Sun Jian said.

This time, he hurried back because of the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom he found in a ruin last night. This was also the main reason why he hurried back to Jiangdong, not because of any recurrence of old injuries.

"So that's it! Then I won't bother Sun Jian, so I'll leave now! May Sun Jian have a smooth journey!" Li Song got up and said goodbye. He returned to Jiangdong on the grounds of a recurrence of an old injury.

"Prefect Li, go slowly! I'm injured, so I can't see you off!" Sun Jian also got up and cupped his hands.

"Prefect Sun, before leaving, I have a word to say goodbye to!" Li Song said.

"Prefect Li just say it, I, Sun Jian, will listen to you!" Sun Jian said.

"Some things look beautiful, but they may bring disasters to themselves. That's all I can say! Farewell!" Li Song said, and left directly. It's a pity that a generation of heroes will perish.

Li Song returned to the camp, and soon Sun Jian led Jiangdong's disciples towards Jiangdong, "Yuanqing, go and let everyone pack up and prepare for retreat." Li Song called Pei Yuanqing and ordered.

"No!" Pei Yuanqing responded, and then asked: "Master! When are we leaving?"

"After the coalition forces entered Luoyang and Cao Cao was defeated at Bianshui in Xingyang, we got up and went back to Bingzhou, let's go!" Li Song said.

Although Pei Yuanqing was full of doubts and didn't understand why he was so sure that the coalition army would come and Cao Cao would be defeated, he finally suppressed his curiosity and did as Li Song said.

In the evening, the allied forces arrived late, and soon, it was reported that Cao Cao was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong in Bianshui, Xingyang.

At dawn the next day, Li Song took his soldiers back to Bingzhou. Since then, the alliance has embarked on the road of disintegration.
