After a night of rout, Tongguan changed hands.

It stands to reason that at this time, the princes' coalition army should rest, grasp Tongguan, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after recuperating and recuperating, they will chase and fight the Xiliang army fiercely and kill the Xiliang army.

But they didn't.

But regardless of the prestige, he directly began to chase and fight, and even ignored Tongguan, captured Tongguan, and gave up Tongguan, charging again and again, like a tiger and a wolf, and has been chasing for hundreds of miles.

Their purpose is already obvious.

The Xiliang army was defeated.

The court is in the Son of Heaven, whoever can grasp the Son of Heaven will be the next court minister.

But now no one in the Son of Heaven dares to believe it, he wants to get rid of the Xiliang army, and he doesn't want to be controlled by the princes of all parties, this is his best opportunity.

The Son of Heaven is not without fighting, if it was just before, thousands of Imperial Forest Army plus the soldiers and horses of Zhijinwu would not be able to stop it, but the 10,000 Guanzhong young and strong people allocated to them by the Xiliang Army before gave them the ability to protect themselves.

The Son of Heaven led a hundred officials, escorted by his soldiers and horses, from the west, all the way to the west, more than a hundred miles west, and camped on a mountain.

By this time, the coalition forces were already at the foot of the mountain.

The Jiangdong Army, the Jizhou Army, the left and right wings, and the troops were under the mountain, but they did not directly start the attack.

"They are so desperate that they really take me seriously?"

The light of the morning sun shone brightly, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, stood on the mountain, looking at the army under the mountain, his expression became more and more gloomy.

"Your Majesty, in your eyes, the Taishi is a powerful minister of the court, but they may not be good people, Your Majesty really thinks that they are here for Your Majesty!"

Jia Xu tied his hands, but stood calmly behind Liu Xie.

"Shut up!"

Liu Xie became more and more violent, and he snorted coldly.

Then he didn't look at Jia Xu, his eyes stared at Wang Yun, although he didn't believe in people, but he still relied on Wang Yun a little, at this time he wanted to see Wang Yun's thoughts: "Wang Situ, should I be like this?" ”

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven!"

Wang Yun thought for a while: "Now that the Dong thief has been removed, Your Majesty can try the thoughts of the people under the mountain, write a letter, and order them to go up the mountain alone, face the saint, if they come, they are loyal ministers, if they dare not come, then there must be different intentions!" ”

"That's great!"

Liu Xie nodded, and then personally wrote a letter for people to put down the mountain.

……………………

"Is it really the Son of Heaven on the mountain?"

Ju Yi's eyes lit up hunting, he looked at the mountain, and a touch of murderous intent suddenly condensed.

He can know the mind of his master.

For the coercion of the Son of Heaven, the lord of his own family hopes that there is no Son of Heaven in the world, and when the time comes, Jizhou can find a random son of the Liu family, ascend the throne, seize the power of the world, and send troops to crusade against the princes of the world.

"It should be the Son of Heaven!"

The left and right generals replied: "We still recognize the dragon flag of the imperial court!" ”

"Jiangdong Army and Cao Jun, how did they behave?"

"The Jiangdong Army has stopped, as for the Cao Army, it is still behind, and it will take half a day to catch up!"

"Try to attack and see how they react!" Ju Yi said.

"No!"

…………

"Demao, you said that if I get the Son of Heaven back to Jiangdong, will it be useful?" Sun Jian asked Cheng Pu, a confidant general.

"Lord, I'm afraid I can't help us now!"

Cheng Pu said: "Cao Jun and Jizhou Jun are looking down, even if we hold the Son of Heaven in our hands, we may not be able to get out of the pass!" ”

"Having said that, but ......"

Sun Jian thought for a while: "I still want to give it a try!" ”

"Lord, there is one more thing, don't you feel that this battle is too smooth?" Cheng Pu opened his mouth and said: "The benefits of Tongguan, we all can see it, even if the Xiliang Army was broken because of the young and strong things in Guanzhong, but Dong Zhuo has never appeared, where did he go?" “

"Could it be that it was in the previous time, going north, Liu Bei's Youzhou army, didn't they pursue some soldiers and horses and fled north?"

Sun Jian said: "This battle is obvious to everyone, how tragic we fought, even if the Xiliang Army has any conspiracy, are they still willing to bury so many soldiers and horses?" ”

"No matter what, now the lord should be on guard, defend against the Xiliang Army, the Son of Heaven, the Cao Army, and the Jizhou Army, all of them must be guarded against, after all, this battle has reached this point, and anyone will become an enemy!"

"Somebody has a number in his heart!" Sun Jian nodded.

…………………………

Less than thirty miles away from the Son of Heaven, a group of soldiers and horses camped.

"Lord, why don't you keep chasing after it?"

Xiahou was in the city with the coalition army once, followed by the Son of Heaven withdrew, the generals pursued, he also followed the most urgently, it was the vanguard of the Cao army, and suddenly he was withdrawn, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, and ran to ask Cao Cao.

"Bonghyo!"

Cao Cao said lightly.

"General Xiahou, didn't you feel that the battle last night was a little too smooth?" Guo Jia bowed his hand, and then said in a low voice: "This Tongguan, you have also seen, with this strength of the heavy pass, how can the combat effectiveness of the main force in Yixi Liang be easily broken!" ”

"Isn't that because of their civil strife!"

"Perhaps!"

Guo Jia said: "This can be said, but the Son of Heaven can escape, but it can't be said, the Son of Heaven was originally held hostage by Dong thieves, and after the defeat of the Xiliang army, he still has the strength to rush out, which is an unspeakable doubt in itself!" ”

"I don't understand!"

Xiahoudun shook his head.

"If you don't understand, go aside!" Cao Cao couldn't help but smash Xiahoudun with a book: "This fool, I don't understand it, and I still question what military orders!" ”

"Lord, I'm not questioning, I'm just unwilling!"

Xiahoudun said: "If the Jiangdong Army and the Jizhou Army hold the Son of Heaven in their hands, won't we suffer!" ”

"It's not that simple!"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a sharp essence, and said: "The most important thing is that we didn't see Dong Zhuo's head, who can say that the Xiliang army was defeated, and it was not determined that Dong Zhuo was killed in battle, and the Xiliang army was defeated, but the chess piece of the Son of Heaven was thrown out, nine times out of ten, it was a bait!" ”

This was not the case with the war.

Attacking Tongguan and taking Tongguan, their advantage was exhausted, but because of the Son of Heaven, they let go of the hard-won Tongguan all of a sudden, and they seemed to have fought this battle in vain, and pursued the Son of Heaven one by one.

But what about Xiliang?

Yes, the Western Liang Army was indeed defeated in the Battle of Tongguan.

But who saw Dong Zhuo.

Who is sure that the main force of Xiliang has been moved.

All these mysteries made Guo Jia feel uneasy in his heart.

"Summons the whole army, assemble, we are ready to retreat to Tongguan!"

Cao Cao looked at the topographic map on the desk, and when he heard Guo Jia's words, his heart suddenly burst out, and he couldn't even take care of the Son of Heaven, so he ordered directly.

"No!"

The generals commanded.

………………………………

Across the river.

Liu Bei also received the news, but he did not act rashly, but continued to wait for the news very quietly.

"My lord, why don't we cross the river at once?"

Zhao Yun asked Liu Bei: "Once the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of other princes, won't it be able to hold us hostage!" ”

"Something is wrong!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "If Dong Zhuo was beheaded, his head would have been hung under the Guancheng of Tongguan a long time ago, but now, it's just that the Xiliang Army has lost Tongguan, but it can't be said that the Xiliang Army has been defeated!" ”

"Before adding it, the Xiliang Army suddenly lured us north, there must be a plot!"

"Easily cross the river, fear of ambush!"

Liu Bei had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he couldn't solve them at this time, so he didn't dare to move troops.

"Lord, could it be that Dong Zhuo was in the army that went north before, he abandoned the Xiliang army, borrowed Hedong alone, and fled back to Xiliang!"

"Impossible, even if Dong Zhongying is an enemy, I will say it, he is not such a person."

Liu Bei stood up, thought for a while, and said: "At this time, the number of troops is too small to work, so immediately send someone to order Guan Yu, and order Guan Yu to immediately lead the army south, and there is no need to continue to hide!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun received the military order, and then asked the most elite cavalry under his command to send an order to send a message to the north for 800 miles.
