As soon as Sun Jian arrived, the army led by Zuo Aoran also arrived. So Zuo Aoran commanded the army to put out the fire together with Sun Jian. It didn't take long to put out the fire. Cao Cao also led the army. Naturally, he also participated in putting out the fire.
among the team.
Shortly after Cao Cao led his troops away, Xu You explained the stakes to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao understood the situation and hurriedly led his troops to chase Cao Cao. If he wanted to enter Luoyang before Cao Cao, he would have to catch up with Cao Cao in the end! But he didn't.
Thinking of it, they were still one step behind Cao Cao, not to mention the other princes. Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, had already set out, so they couldn't be idle! Troops from all over the country followed him and rushed to Luoyang City.
When Yuan Shao and other princes arrived, they saw that the fire in Luoyang City had been basically extinguished by the armies of Sun Jian, Zuo Aoran, and Cao Cao. However, Yuan Shao believed that there was no way to garrison troops in the city, so he ordered all the princes to stay outside the city.
Troops and horses were stationed on the wasteland.
Yuan Shao had just set up the Chinese army's tent, and his buttocks were not yet warm. Cao Cao came to see Yuan Shao and said to him: "Now the traitor Dong is heading west to Chang'an. We are taking advantage of the opportunity to pursue him, but the leader of the alliance is standing still. I don't know what is going on."
Why?"
Yuan Shao glanced at the crowd and said, "All the armies are exhausted. Moreover, Li Ru is treacherous and Lu Bu is brave. We must be prepared for the enemy's ambush!"
Cao Cao said angrily: "Dong's thieves burned down the palace, kidnapped hundreds of emperor's officials, the whole country was shaken, and all the people turned against Dong. This is the time when Dong Zhuo was destroyed. It only takes one battle to bring peace to the world and bring peace to the world. Not to mention that we have a large army."
Hundreds of thousands, why worry about an ambush by the other side? How could the princes be so suspicious and not attack, allowing the Dong thieves to escape to Chang'an and then harm the people of that area?!"
All the princes turned a deaf ear to Cao Cao's words, going in with one ear and out with the other. However, they praised Yuan Shao's words: "The alliance leader's concerns are very reasonable, we must not act lightly!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious and said: "You people are really not worthy of me working with you!"
The princes and Yuan Shao all looked angry when they heard Cao Cao's words, but they all held back. Cao Cao snorted angrily and walked away, then led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses from his army to pursue Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Li Dian.
Dong Zhuo's army was defeated.
Let's talk about Dong Zhuo again. Dong Zhuo took the emperor Liu Xie and hundreds of officials and retreated westward from Chang'an. When he passed Xingyang, the prefect Xu Rong came out of the city to greet him. Li Ru was observing the terrain all the way, and here he came up with a plan, so he offered Dong Zhuo advice.
"The Grand Master has recently abandoned Luoyang. In order to prevent the pursuit of troops, he can order Wen Hou to lead the army to break up the rear, and then order General Xu Rong to lead the army to ambush beside the mountain dock outside Xingyang City. If there are soldiers chasing after him, he can let them go and wait for me.
Defeat the pursuers, and then General Xu intercepts and kills them, which will definitely defeat the pursuers and deter those who come after them from pursuing them." Dong Zhuo immediately agreed and ordered Lu Bu to retreat, while Xu Rong ambushed the troops beside the mountain dock, and he took the troops with him.
The large group of people fled towards Chang'an.
Looking back, we are talking about Zuo Aoran. Zuo Aoran ordered Xing Lie, Murong Ping led his troops and horses to station outside the east gate of Luoyang, Zhangtai, Diao Linxiang led his troops to station outside the west gate of Luoyang, Yang Ming, Li Bao
The troops and horses of the headquarters were stationed in the south of Luoyang City. Zhang Rong and Ma Sheng were stationed in the north of Luoyang City. Tian Feng, Cui Yan and Cui Lin drafted the Anmin Gang and Chubang Anmin, Gao Ping, Gao Huai, Dianjie and Ouyang Lie.
, Liu Quan, Zhu Ci and others maintain law and order in Luoyang City, and anyone who causes trouble will be killed without mercy!
After all the orders were issued, Zuo Aoran said goodbye to Sun Jian, saying that there was no need for Zuo Aoran in the city, and he went to discuss the next step with other princes, while Sun Jian continued to stay in Luoyang City to fight off some remaining areas.
Xiaohuotou, however, Zuo Aoran did not go to discuss countermeasures with other princes, but led Jiang Yiqu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Chu, Zuo Chun, Gao Lan, He Yi, He Man, Liu Hu, Zhang Xu, Wang Xiong, etc.
The general, together with the Red Scarf Army, the Hammer Battalion, the Search Battalion, and the Sentinel Battalion, totaling 8,000 troops, marched westward.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I would like to state that Zuo Aoran is not going to chase the fleeing Dong Zhuojun. He will not bring so few people to pursue Dong Zhuojun! Zuo Aoran is a modern person and has modern historical knowledge. He knows
Cao Cao will be defeated, and will be defeated by another general who has been buried in history-Xu Rong!
Alas! It’s better not to misunderstand! Zuo Aoran is not going to rescue Cao Cao. On the contrary, Zuo Aoran is leading his troops to eliminate the future great disaster - Cao Cao! Zuo Aoran still faces Cao Cao, the future threat.
He was very scrupulous, so Zuo Aoran wanted to get rid of Cao Cao at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After success, Zuo Aoran could also shift the responsibility to Dong Zhuo! This is also the reason why Zuo Aoran did not pursue Dong Zhuo.
one!
Let's talk about this generation of traitors who were in extreme danger. Cao Cao was filled with anger and led his troops to chase Dong Zhuo. Along the way, Cao Cao was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent! Cao Cao just ordered the entire army to advance quickly, just to find Dong Zhuo.
In fact, in terms of the number of troops, Cao Cao only had more than 10,000 troops. How could he compete with Dong Zhuo's 200,000 troops? However, Cao Cao expected that Dong Zhuo's army was now eager to flee to Chang'an, and not long ago
Having just been defeated by Zuo Aoran, the army must have no fighting spirit.
Let's say that Cao Cao led his army to pursue him all night. By daybreak, he had already passed Hongnong. He vaguely saw troops in front of him guarding the chariot. When Cao Cao saw it, he was overjoyed and said: "In front of you is the emperor's chariot. You all go forward with all your strength to welcome back the emperor."
, after such great achievements, everyone will reward you generously, and all the lands will make you a marquis!!"
In fact, Cao Cao himself was not very sure whether the emperor's chariot appeared in front of him, but after a night of rapid march, the army was exhausted. Now he could only falsely claim that it was the emperor's chariot in front of him, in order to stimulate the potential morale of the army!
When Cao Cao shouted this, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Li Dian behind them all shouted together, and then each led a team of troops to rush over. Cao Cao saw this and was not to be outdone, and rushed forward with Cao Hong who was protecting him.
go.
Lu Bu followed Dong Zhuo's military order, led his elite troops behind, and slowly headed westward. Soon, Lu Bu discovered that the dust was flying in the rear and the sound of horse hooves was loud. It turned out that Cao Cao was leading the troops in pursuit. Lu Bu laughed loudly and said to his subordinates: "Sure enough, there is no Li Ru.
As that bastard expected, someone who is not afraid of death is really coming after him, come on! Sons! Form up with me to face the enemy!"
When Cao Cao had just crossed the border of Xingyang and was chasing a carriage he falsely claimed to be driven by the emperor, he suddenly heard a burst of drums and a whistle of men and horses suddenly rushed out. Cao Cao's army was in chaos. Although Cao Cao was panicked in his heart, he was deliberately
Pretending to be calm, he ordered the soldiers not to panic.
Cao Cao calmed down and watched attentively, and saw one person rushing out first. This person was wearing a purple gold crown with a three-pronged hair, a Xichuan red brocade hundred-flower robe, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and an exquisite lion belt around his waist.
Holding a halberd that fixes the sky, he sat down on a peerless horse that was as red as red charcoal. Oh! Who is this person if he is not Lu Bu?
Lu Bu laughed loudly and said: "As Li Ru expected, there are indeed people in the coalition who come to die! Haha!"
Cao Cao recognized the person who was coming, stepped forward on his horse and cursed: "Three-nature traitor! You have committed evil by helping Zhou, and together with the national thief Dong Zhuo, you have robbed the emperor and moved the people away. Let's see where you are going to escape this time?!"
