Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Cao Cao can lead troops from Yanzhou to the Lantian area, which means that there are already people in the Xiliang army who have an affair with Cao Cao. This person is still in the army. If Dong Zhuo wants to raise an army, he will not do it easily.
Cao Cao noticed it, but it is still difficult to catch them all, not to mention Cao Cao's outstanding military ability, which Dong Zhuo can't deal with!" Liu Lin shook his head when he heard this and said: "What a pity, this Cao Mengde has become more mature now.
He will be a powerful enemy I am waiting for in the future!"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Not only that, there are also Sun Ce and Liu Bei!" Liu Lin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "How are they two now?" Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Sun Ce is already here.
Yuan Shu borrowed 10,000 troops and went to Jiangdong. As for the outcome of the war, it is still unclear. However, Liu Bei took advantage of Yuan Shao's opportunity to attack the Jizhou bandits and made many military exploits. He has become Yuan Shao's right-hand man, and he is not the same as Yuan Shao.
The same thing is that this person is very good at sneaking into the camp and winning over people's hearts at every turn, which makes the military officials in Jizhou highly praise him!" Upon hearing this, Liu Lin frowned and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, Liu Bei should get rid of him as soon as possible.
To avoid future troubles!”
Although Guo Jia didn't know why Liu Lin was so taboo about Liu Bei, he was still willing to eliminate all future resistance. He cupped his fists and said, "Leave this matter to me!" Liu Lin nodded and said:
"Well, but this matter is not urgent. Let's wait until the matter in Xijing is resolved!" Guo Jia nodded. At this time, Liu Lin remembered Liu Yu's last words. If he wants to ascend to the throne, the legitimate son of the late emperor in front of him is
His eyes flashed with excitement, and he said to Guo Jia in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, I have decided!" When Guo Jia heard this, his expression changed, and he turned to be overjoyed, and bowed and said: "Subordinate
It must be done properly!" Liu Lin glanced at Guo Jia and nodded.
Qingni Pass is a hundred miles southeast of Lantian. After Cao Cao quietly arrived at the foot of Chang'an from Yanzhou, he stationed himself at Qingni Pass and sent his younger brother Cao Ren to see Wang Yun until the matter in Xijing was decided.
After that, he took the opportunity to capture Xijing.
"The reason why I came to Lantian quietly this time is thanks to General Zhu. Please report to General Zhu after your return. I, Cao Mengde, will definitely go to Hongnong to meet the general in person after this matter is settled!" Qingni Pass at Qingni Pass
In a large tent, Cao Cao raised his hands and said to an envoy. The envoy bowed and said: "General Cao's wishes will be brought to the general. However, General Cao, I think you should withdraw quickly."
Zhang Ji's army must be on the way at Qingni Pass. I hope the general will take care of himself!" The envoy clasped his fists and left quickly.
Watching the envoy go away, Cao Cao sighed in his heart, glanced at Cheng Yu beside him and said, "Zhongde, why is my luck with Cao Cao always so bad?" Cheng Yu glanced at the lonely Cao Cao and bowed.
Shen said: "Ming Gong's fault is not luck, but timing. Now it seems that the timing is not coming!" Cao Cao nodded and said solemnly: "Zhongde, pass the order, the army will quickly assemble and return the way it came from!"
When Cheng Yu heard this, he quickly took the order and left!
As soon as Cheng Yu left, he said to the guards beside him: "Go and ask General Zhang to come over!" After a while, a young general in armor came in, clasped his fists in front of Cao Cao and said, "Zhang Kai has met my lord!"
Cao Cao nodded, glanced at the capable generals who had recently defeated the Yellow Turbans and said: "Now that our army's march has been leaked, the Dong thieves have sent a hundred thousand troops to encircle and suppress us. The army is about to set off and return to Yanzhou, but Zixiao
In Xijing, I hope you will select fifty people from the army to go and respond!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Kai quickly clasped his fists and said, "No!" Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Kai and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, what I want to see is
It's the lively Zixiao, do you understand?" Zhang Kai's heart skipped a beat. He understood what Cao Cao meant. If Cao Ren didn't come back alive, he wouldn't have to come back. He was slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't show it.
He cupped his fists and said: "Lord, don't worry, even if I, Zhang Kai, lose my life, I will definitely protect General Cao's safety!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Go, after the matter is completed, I will never treat you badly!
"Zhang Kai clasped his fists and retreated.
Cao Cao stared at Zhang Kai's back closely, and a feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart. He saw a great opportunity right in front of him, but he couldn't. Alas, Cao Cao walked out of the tent. The gathering outside had been completed. Xiahou Dun walked up to him and bowed.
"Lord, let's go!" Cao Cao looked back and sighed helplessly. He came to Chang'an but couldn't win. This feeling was really uncomfortable. He mounted his horse and whipped his whip fiercely.
Go to the Lu family!
As soon as Cao Cao's army set off, Zhang Ji led an army of 100,000 people to Lantian County. After learning that Cao Cao's army had withdrawn, Zhang Ji ordered his nephew Zhang Xiu to lead an army of 50,000 people to catch up, while he was sent by Dong Zhuo to
Dong Zhuo ordered him to go to Hongnong County to capture Zhu Jun. This time Cao Cao was able to arrive quietly only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an. If this had nothing to do with Zhu Jun, Zhang Ji wouldn't believe it at all. Since Dong Zhuo gave him an opportunity to make a decision this time,
With the power, he can take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Zhu Jun and capture Hongnong County!
All the troops led by Zhang Xiu were elites from Xiliang. Although Cao Cao's army was also elite, it fled all the way east, and its morale was damaged. Zhang Xiu caught up with him before they reached Lu's family. The two armies then set up a battle formation.
There was a pursuit battle, but Cao Cao was well prepared and Zhang Xiu did not take any advantage. Both sides lost thousands of men and horses, so they retreated their troops. Zhang Xiu knew how powerful Cao Cao was, so he stopped pursuing and instead attacked Hong.
Nongjun marched. When Cao Cao learned the news, he immediately sent to Hongnong to inform Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun immediately withdrew his troops and headed for Zhongmu County.
Chang'an, Xijing, was now enveloped in a bloody storm. Because the news was revealed, Dong Zhuo launched an advance attack the day before the dynasty, letting his nephew Dong Heng lead the Xiliang soldiers to quickly control Xijing, and at the same time sent Fan Chou to attack Xijing.
, Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals surrounded Lu Bu's troops with heavy troops. Lu Bu was captured after all his efforts, while Situ Wang Yun, Shangshu Huang Wan, and Pu Shetu Sun Rui were quickly controlled. This time Dong Zhuo arrested officials on a large scale in Xijing.
All the officials who were close to Wang Yun were arrested, and their clansmen were also implicated. The Emperor Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He were suspected of killing ministers without authorization, so Dong Zhuo sent his confidant Li Su to put them under house arrest in the palace, and no one was allowed to visit them!
For a time, the mentality of the entire Xijing people changed, and everyone was in danger. Xijing, which had gradually become prosperous, began to become depressed again.
