Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 233 Dong Zhuo's Escape to the West

Cao Cao let everyone digest the heavy news.

This news is too big, and everyone has not fully adapted to it at the moment.

After a long while, Yuan Shao said, "Meng De, the source of this news is accurate. Could it be that Xiliang deliberately released the news."

Cao Cao waved his hand and asked someone to carry the body up.

"It really is Li Ru."

This Yuan Shao also met Li Ru. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Yuan Shao did not leave immediately and met Li Ru several times.

Everyone was in an uproar, Li Ru died at this moment, which was very helpful in seeking Dong Daye.

Yuan Shao became excited, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "How did he die?"

Cao Cao was also excited, without thinking too much, blurted out: "Zhang Ming sent people to kill, Li Ru and Fan Chou died, and Fan Chou's body was not brought back."

The atmosphere inside the big tent was extremely cold.

The faces of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and other princes froze immediately.

Zhang Ming killed him.

How could it be Zhang Ming who killed him?

This Yuan Shao was very complicated.

At this time, everyone couldn't laugh.

After a while, Yuan Shao sat back in his seat and said, "Since Li Ru is dead, we will break through Hulao Pass in a few days."

"Leader, it's time to attack fiercely." Cao Cao didn't understand why Yuan Shao suddenly decided not to fight.

"Meng De, now that Li Ru is dead, the blow to Xiliang is huge. We should slow down the attack at this time, and they will retreat soon, saving us the lives of many soldiers." Yuan Shao said.

"rational."

"What the lord said is true."

"+1"

Everyone immediately agreed with Yuan Shao and settled the matter.

Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded.

What's the situation.

Everyone has decided what Cao Cao can do.

When Cao Cao returned, he realized that Yuan Shao was afraid that Zhang Ming would take the credit for breaking Hulao Pass.

At this time, the fierce attack and the breakthrough of the Hulao pass, the greatest credit is Zhang Ming, and the group of them can only work hard.

If it drags on for a few days, and then attacks again, the credit will be wiped out, and Zhang Ming will have nothing to do.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao has rich experience in political struggles.

Everyone also understood that Zhang Ming didn't deserve any credit.

Cao Cao was sad and indignant, and he fought hard against Dong, but there were so many struggles in it.

Cao Cao had no choice but to go back and wait.

"Hey, this allied army has lost its original intention." At this time, Cao Cao was still focused on revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Ming was also quite surprised, why didn't they storm Hulao Pass?
But after Xi Zhicai's explanation, Zhang Ming understood that these ancient people were fighting.

Then let them fight, and Zhang Ming continued to arrange his affairs.

Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is going crazy.

He stepped up his efforts, and the army sent out to steal many tombs.

Li Ru's death greatly stimulated Dong Zhuo, as if he knew that there was no hope of fighting back.

If this person has no hope, that is the most terrifying thing, and he can do anything.

Dong Zhuo was about to run away, and his run must be a hell on earth.

Zhang Ming stayed for three days, and during these three days he came out to wander around.

One night three days later, Zhang Ming quietly disappeared with someone.

Some of the people in his barracks also disappeared.

It's just that there are no outsiders in his barracks, and if half of the people are missing, no one will notice.

From the outside, everything is normal, but there are many people missing inside.

After Zhang Ming left, he appeared outside Luoyang this time.

He hid in a place more than ten miles outside Luoyang City.

"My lord, Luoyang City has been sealed off for several days. The Xiliang army has been digging up the surrounding tombs. All the tombs with a little status have been dug up."

"Even the tomb of the first emperor Liu Hong was dug up."

The intelligence personnel reported the situation to Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming felt that it was very normal.

"Dong Zhuo is the last madness before running away. We will prepare on the way west."

To escape to Chang'an in the west, the road is still long, and it will take more than ten or twenty days to walk, and there are places to start.

At night, Zhang Ming and the others left.

Finally, after three days of searching, Zhang Ming and the others found the army that had been ambushing for a long time.

"Big brother."

Guan Yu met Zhang Ming.

"It's convenient for five thousand troops to ambush here."

This place is more than 30 miles away from the main road, hiding so far away is afraid of being discovered by the Xiliang army coming and going.

"Brother, it's not easy to get food and grass. We bring it ourselves, and it can only last about six days."

"Six days should be about the same. I will send you food by hot air balloon day and night. It should be able to last for two more days, and it will be about the same time."

Dong Zhuo has been preparing for a few days and should be leaving Luoyang soon.

Sure enough, after Zhang Ming and the others waited for three days, Dong Zhuo was about to run away.

Dong Zhuo first ordered his army to advance westward.

After that, he personally led tens of thousands of troops to accompany him.

At the same time, after he left, he recalled Lu Bu.

But Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass are still guarded, and they will not act until all the people in Luoyang have been withdrawn.

It took another three days before the soldiers and civilians inside were able to retreat.

The large procession, millions of people, was moving slowly westward.

At this time, Xu Rong was ordered to cut off the queen.

Originally, Xu Rong was about to die, but fortunately Zhang Ming's medicine was delivered in time, which saved Xu Rong's life.

Two days later, Dong Zhuo ordered to set fire to Luoyang City and everything around it.

When the fire broke out, Sun Jian broke through the Sishui Pass. He hurriedly marched to Luoyang, and then sent someone to send a message to Yuan Shao.

Sun Jian hurried on the starry night.

On Hulao Pass, when the defenders learned that Sishui Pass had been breached, they retreated immediately without any delay.

Sun Jian rushed to the outside of Luoyang City overnight, but he saw that the entire Luoyang City was burning, and his army could not enter at all, so he could only wait outside.

At this time, Zhang Ming was ambushing on the road to the west.

When Dong Zhuo's carriage passed by, Zhang Ming said to Guan Yu: "I will take Zilong to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and I will do it in a few days. And you will ambush Dong Zhuo when you find a chance. One thing to remember, these chariots and horses can be robbed if they can be robbed."

The carts and horses are loaded with wealth collected from Luoyang, and there are thousands of carts in total.

It's a pity that so many good things are given to Dong Zhuo.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei tell Zhang Ming to be careful while they prepare to ambush Dong Zhuo's army.

In other words, the princes of the Guandong also rushed to Luoyang.

When everyone arrived, Luoyang City could not be entered at all.

Yuan Shao immediately decided to send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.

The army pursued Dong Zhuo, and after a day of pursuit, they were ambushed by Xu Rong and all were killed and scattered.

Although the allied army was powerful, Xu Rong was so good that he abruptly defeated the allied army.

After Luoyang was broken, the allied forces had no intention of fighting again and did not continue to pursue.

Cao Cao was in a hurry and went to the allied army camp to find everyone.

"At the beginning, Gonglu, my lords, now that Dong Zhuo has left the city, it is a good time for us to pursue." Cao Cao tried hard to persuade.

Yuan Shao said, "Our allied army has fought hard for more than a year. The soldiers are really tired. They should take a rest before marching."
