"The remaining 70% followed the lord and continued to pursue Dong Zhuo in the direction of Chaoge."

"Seventy percent of the troops will go after Dong Zhuo?" Liu Zhaoqing frowned.

"Is she crazy? Dong Zhuo's remaining troops are not powerless."

"The lord also understands the risks, but she feels that this opportunity cannot be missed..." Cao Ren said.

There was no point in Liu Zhaoqing saying anything at this time. He immediately asked Yuan Shao's troops who had come to support to stay and help Cao Ren eliminate the remaining Dong Zhuo troops here.

Afterwards, he led his troops to continue chasing in the direction of Chaoge.

Not long after, Liu Zhaoqing heard a loud shout, followed by the roar of tigers and leopards coming from afar.

He immediately realized that this should be the sound of Cao Cao's generals releasing Tianci, which means that Cao Cao was not far ahead.

Leading the troops, Liu Zhaoqing sped up. After crossing a stream, Liu Zhaoqing saw a flash of swords and sabers in the dense forest in the distance.

Cao Cao's troops are fighting with the remnants of Dong Zhuo, and it seems that Cao Cao's army is still at a disadvantage.

The purpose of Liu Zhaoqing and Cao Cao's troops was to quickly provide support to Hebei, so they were basically composed of cavalry.

The cavalry itself could not demonstrate a very high combat capability in the forest. Compared with the remaining remnants of Dong Zhuo, most of them were infantry, and their number was more than twice that of Cao Cao's troops.

As the situation changed, it was no surprise that Cao Cao was led into the dense forest and then suppressed.

But as Cao Ren said, if Cao Cao had not pursued them in this way, most of Dong Zhuo's remnants would probably have retreated to Luoyang.

And just as Liu Zhaoqing understood Cao Cao, Cao Cao also understood Liu Zhaoqing and knew that he would definitely come to support in time, so he dared to divide his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Although he understood Liu Zhaoqing, he himself was not calm enough. Accidental casualties could occur in every second of close combat.

He couldn't guarantee that Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others wouldn't encounter any accidents in the next second.

So Liu Zhaoqing immediately ordered his men to speed up again and join the battlefield as soon as possible.

A large number of cavalrymen rushed into the dense forest and then attacked Dong Zhuo's army, which was very easy to identify because they were wearing silver-white armor.

After the more than 10,000 people led by Liu Zhaoqing entered the dense forest one after another, the situation immediately became one-sided.

During this period, Liu Zhaoqing also saw Xun Yu. She was riding on a horse, holding a white jade brush in her hand, fighting more than 20 enemies, with Gao Shun holding a sword on her left and right.

Xun Yu looked a little weak. He must have used up a lot of his divine strength in order to keep Dong Zhuo's army, otherwise he would not have seemed so overwhelmed when facing these soldiers.

Liu Zhaoqing held the sword, pulled the reins, and led a few cavalrymen to rush towards Xun Yu.

After killing two enemies with one sword, he came to her side.

"Zhaoqing." Xun Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Zhaoqing.

"Is Wenruo okay?" Liu Zhaoqing asked hurriedly.

"I'm fine. General Gao is helping me. No one can get close to me." Xun Yu said immediately after shaking his head.

"Zhao Qing, go and support Cao Cao. Cao Cao should be fighting against Dong Zhuo's generals!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing immediately asked several cavalrymen around him to protect Xun Yu and Gao Shun. Then he pulled the reins to turn the horses and headed in the direction Xun Yu pointed.

Under the cover of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, Liu Zhaoqing soon saw Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan being besieged by dozens of people.

The mounts of the two men had been killed. Although thanks to their strength as heroes, the enemies around them did not dare to come forward and they could hold on for a while, but they were dragged here and could not break out at all.

"Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, your lord is dead. If you surrender quickly, I will spare your lives!" One of Dong Zhuo's generals said to the two men.

"That's just dog talk." Xiahou Dun snorted coldly, and swept the two people who were coming towards him directly into the sky with his spear in hand.

The next second, she raised her head and looked not far away.

The shaking of the ground caused by the running horses startled everyone here, and then a figure holding an ancient long sword jumped up and came into everyone's sight.

Xiahou Yuan showed excitement: "He's here!"

"Who is coming?"

"The one who's going to take your life." Liu Zhaoqing in the air said calmly.

"Ah?! It's Liu Zhaoqing! Hurry..."

Before Dong Zhuo's general could finish his words, his neck was cut off by a sharp sword.

The remaining soldiers were quickly killed by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others who followed.

"Thank you, Marquis Changping, for your help." Xiahou Dun bowed to Liu Zhaoqing.

"Where is your sister?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"My Lord... I don't know either, but I think he is chasing Dong Zhuo."

"..."

Now is not the time to complain. Although Liu Zhaoqing didn't know why Cao Cao was so obsessed with Dong Zhuo that he didn't even care about his own safety.

But obviously he had to keep going to find Cao Cao quickly.

Cao Ren, Xiahou sisters and three other generals around Cao Cao were left here, so it is very likely that Cao Cao did not have many followers.

Don't let any accidents happen.

Liu Zhaoqing also discovered that blindly searching in the dense forest was very inefficient, so he asked Zhang Liao to step on the branches to climb up the tree and find Cao Cao's position from a high vantage point.

After swiftly and agilely leaping onto the branch of a big tree, Zhang Liao glanced at the battlefield below and immediately found Cao Cao.

"Three feet to the southwest!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing led the team towards the target direction again, and this time Liu Zhaoqing finally saw Cao Cao killing the enemy.

Unlike Cao Ren and the Xiahou sisters, Cao Cao and Cao Chun beside him were killing enemies indiscriminately. When Liu Zhaoqing came to her, he found that her body was covered in blood.

"Mengde!"

"Zhao Qing, come with me to kill the enemy!" Cao Cao said as he raised the sword in his hand and killed another enemy soldier, his face full of joy.

"Why are you alone here inspecting the troops?" After forcing the surrounding enemy troops to retreat, Liu Zhaoqing reached out and pulled Cao Cao up to sit behind his horse and asked.

"The rest of the troops, led by Cao Chun, are attacking Dong Zhuo's army in an expanded circular formation. Although there are some remnants, they can ensure that Dong Zhuo's army will not counterattack and encircle us." Cao Cao smiled and said, "So Wen Ruo and others are naturally safe."

"It's too dangerous." Liu Zhaoqing frowned.

"No, I knew you were coming, so there was no danger or surprise."

Cao Cao smiled and continued, "We can talk about the rest later. I still have a lot to discuss with you. Let's continue chasing Dong Zhuo."

"She's just ahead."

Liu Zhaoqing took Cao Cao, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao and headed in the direction he pointed.

Soon Liu Zhaoqing saw a large number of Dong Zhuo's troops being chased by Cao Cao's troops in front of the dense forest.

Due to the chaotic situation and the fact that they were in a dense forest, Liu Zhaoqing couldn't see where Dong Zhuo was for a while.

"Rush in quickly." said Cao Cao.

Liu Zhaoqing signaled Zhao Yun to follow him, and Zhang Liao led his troops to help Cao Chun break through Dong Zhuo's remnants. Then he carried Cao Cao and rushed into the enemy army with Zhao Yun.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't even need to make a move, because Cao Cao behind her was very skilled in swordsmanship, and any enemy soldiers who got close to Liu Zhaoqing and her horse were killed by her sword.

"Where is Dong Zhuo?!" Cao Cao shouted.

"There!" Zhao Yun, who had very sharp eyesight, found and beat Dong Zhuo in the chaos.

She pointed forward: "The one riding the white wolf is over there!"

"Good!" Cao Cao's expression brightened.

There was no need for her to say more, Liu Zhaoqing whispered: "Hold on to me!"

After he finished speaking, a hazy golden light emanated from his hands. He flicked the reins, and the faint golden light entered the horse's body.

Although there was only a trace of the power of the Human Book, the spiritual energy of the origin of heaven and earth that only the top spiritual beast could possess was like a super-strong shot of adrenaline that only existed in fantasy and could resurrect the dead. It directly caused the horse under him to suddenly increase its physical fitness in a very short period of time.

Although it can only last for a few breaths, it is enough.

The ordinary warhorse seemed to have transformed into a spiritual horse comparable to Red Hare. The enemy troops in front were knocked into a tree by the horse before they could react.

In less than three breaths, the horse, like a plow in the field, broke through countless "human-shaped soil" and came in front of Dong Zhuo riding the white wolf.

Liu Zhaoqing held a long sword and stabbed towards Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo retreated quickly and ran towards the side of the dense forest.

She ran towards the north, not the south.

You know, the Yellow River is in the south, and Luoyang is in the south. Even if you don't cross the river, you should flee to Bingzhou in the west.

Is it because of panic?

Liu Zhaoqing had no time to think about it. If he hesitated any longer, Dong Zhuo would slip away right under his nose.

Zhao Yun, who rode fast, went to intercept him, and Liu Zhaoqing followed closely behind. After exiting the dense forest, Liu Zhaoqing finally caught up with Dong Zhuo on a hillside.

The sword collided with the long sword in Dong Zhuo's hand, and the opponent and the white wolf under him retreated more than ten feet away in an instant.

When they met again, Cao Cao's sword directly made Dong Zhuo crash into the vine-covered stone, and he fell to the ground from the white wolf.

Cao Cao frowned instantly.

At this time, Zhao Yun came from the side, with a stern look in his eyes, and raised his spear to stab Dong Zhuo.

Just as he was about to stab Dong Zhuo, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly said, "Zilong, stop!"

Zhao Yun's spear stopped just two inches away from Dong Zhuo's forehead.

Liu Zhaoqing rode a horse to Dong Zhuo, and he and Cao Cao got off their horses and looked at her.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "You... are not Dong Zhuo."

The injured "Dong Zhuo" covered his chest and coughed twice, then reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His figure also changed, from purple eyes to black pupils, and his height also increased a lot.

"You are... Jia Xu?" Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised.

"The defeated general Jia Xu greets Marquis Changping and Captain Cao." Jia Xu propped himself up and bowed to Liu Zhaoqing and Cao Cao.

"How could you pretend to be Dong Zhuo?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"I mean, if it wasn't for me, you'd be dead by now."

Although Liu Zhaoqing had never met Jia Xu, he knew her appearance through intelligence and knew that her personality was still the type that would protect herself in troubled times.

How could such a Jia Xu be Dong Zhuo's substitute?

Jia Xu looked helpless: "I have the gift of imitation and the order from the Prime Minister. The knife is on my neck, how dare I disobey."

"Where is Dong Zhuo?" asked Cao Cao.

"Even the defeated general doesn't know." Jia Xu shook his head: "I only know that she listened to Li Ru's advice and abandoned most of her troops to provide cover."

Cao Cao said nothing, then he said: "Lend me Zhao Qing's horse."

After saying that, she mounted her horse and turned back to look for Dong Zhuo. Zhang Liao had already caught up with her from behind, and Liu Zhaoqing immediately asked Zhao Yun to take some soldiers and horses to follow Cao Cao.

"I wonder how Marquis Changping will deal with the defeated generals." Jia Xu asked Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing was looking at the injured Jia Xu and the horse not far away that had lost its transformation and turned back into an ordinary horse, and he looked thoughtful.

This look also made Jia Xu reveal a hint of worry. She originally thought that Liu Zhaoqing would immediately help her up happily.

After all, a great ruler like Liu Zhaoqing must be a person who loves talents. But on second thought, as Dong Zhuo's adviser, Liu Zhaoqing also has good reasons to dislike him.

For a moment, Liu Zhaoqing's performance made Jia Xu unsure of what he was thinking.

And this is exactly what Liu Zhaoqing wants.

Although Jia Xu in front of him is not very old, he is shrewd and calculating in every way. If he wants to serve him wholeheartedly, he must be completely controlled.

"I didn't expect that Jia Wenhe, who has always been cautious and self-protective, has become a consumable for others to protect themselves this time." Liu Zhaoqing smiled.

"Wenhe, how do you think I will deal with you?"

While Jia Xu was hesitating and about to answer, Liu Zhaoqing waved his hand.

"Tie her up, and we'll go find Cao Cao, and then go to Yecheng."

Liu Zhaoqing's followers obeyed the order and went straight forward to tie up Jia Xu.

Jia Xu did not struggle and was quite cooperative. After all, she knew that her fate was now in the hands of Liu Zhaoqing, and in her current injured state, it was impossible for her to escape under his nose.
