Chapter 1097: The Battle of Tongguan II

Hongnong.

Outside the city to the north, a full twenty miles, on the bank of the Yellow River, on a plain, horses' hooves move back and forth, tents are set up one by one, one by one military villages are connected, noisy sounds, all accents are heard.

The Youzhou Army, the Cao Army, the Jiangdong Army, the three armies have already met, and the main princes' armies of the four routes, at present, only the Yuan's Jizhou Army is still lingering in Hangu Pass.

The commanders of the three armies will also meet at this time.

"Brother Wentai, I said goodbye to the past, I didn't expect to return to Guanzhong today!" A desk, three people sit opposite each other, Cao Cao is the lord, he wears a robe, kneels on the first place, raises a wine cup and invites the deceased.

"I never thought about it!"

Sun Jian smiled faintly and bitterly, the wine cup in his hand, trembling slightly, indicating that his mood was not very stable, and he said quietly: "In the past, we united the heroes of the world and crusaded against the national thief Mushan, that battle changed the pattern of the world, I never thought that today we would gather again and fight against the ministers who are not ministers!" ”

"If the big man doesn't fall for a day, we will always meet again!"

Sitting on the right is Liu Bei, whose identity has been revealed.

Liu Bei is also a hero, what should be hidden will be hidden, since it is exposed, it will be open, and he will meet with the two heroes generously.

"Will the big man fall?"

Sun Jian glanced at Liu Bei.

Hearing his name, he may have seen Liu Bei, but he has no impression, in the past, Liu Bei participated in the alliance, but he was just regarded as a pawn behind Gongsun Zhan.

It's just that in just a few years, Gongsun Chan died in battle, and Liu Bei ate all the troops of Gongsun Chan in one bite, and from Liu Yu's hands, he got Youzhou, which is now based, which can be regarded as a prince.

There is another key point, it is rumored that Liu Bei is the royal family of the Liu family, once he confirms this identity, he will take an orthodox name, and even if his strength is stronger than him, he will be afraid of him by three points.

"Brother Xuande, if it weren't for Yuan Highway rebelling and becoming the emperor, at this moment, I should be drinking and chatting in Qingzhou!"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at this Liu Bei: "I once thought that the Youzhou army would participate in the war, but I really never thought that you still have the courage to come here, and you would rather risk the world than come to the battlefield in person, I really admire it!" ”

Before Yuan Shu became emperor, the Cao army and the Youzhou army were secretly allied, the purpose was Jizhou, the target was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was powerful, whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, a single force may not be his opponent.

Together, one can consolidate Youzhou, the other can take Qingzhou in chaos, and both parties will benefit.

However, because Yuan Shu became the emperor, the situation in the world changed greatly.

The princes of all walks of life had no choice but to send troops to fight.

Then the emperor Fu Song entered the pass, took out the holy decree, declared Dong Zhuo a thief, and begged the princes of the world to send troops to Qin Wang, and the situation came to this point step by step.

But what still surprised Cao Cao was that Liu Bei actually dared to go south.

If he is in Youzhou, he can still hold Youzhou, but if he goes south in person, he will give Jizhou a big opportunity, as long as Yuan Shao gets this news, he will definitely not give up a great opportunity.

"Brother Meng De has a good reputation!"

Liu Bei said very modestly: "Bei is just doing what he should do, as a child of the Han family, but he can't share his worries for His Majesty, this is a crime, even if he is thousands of miles away, how can he not come!" ”

The three of them will be teachers, it is a pure coincidence, but they have their own thoughts, that is, they have their own ghosts, but so far today, they can be regarded as honest and relative.

Because their goals are the same.

Defeating Dong Zhuo is their goal.

"The princes of the world, can still remember the Han court, I don't know if there is still geometry?" Cao Cao drank the wine from the wine cup in one gulp, and couldn't help but spit out a heart, the current situation, the more he walked, the more confused he became.

"It's just a matter of not helping yourself!"

Sun Jian let out a long sigh and said faintly.

"I only hope that our strength can be exchanged for one Lang Lang in the world!" Liu Bei looked at the two of them, and he felt inexplicably in his heart.

Xiaoxiong is also a human being, and he also has emotions.

Speaking of which, they are all traitors to the Han family.

But no one is born willing to betray, the situation has come to this day, and the heroes are already dead, such as Huangfu Song, he is a hero of the Han family, dedicated to the Han, loyal and courageous, the world can learn from it, but after all, he is dead.

In this troubled world, loyalty is the most useless thing, no matter what the emotions in their hearts are, whether loyal or treacherous, and ambitious, the first thing they have to do is to survive in the troubled times.

………………

The three of them clinked glasses, drank three rounds, and began to discuss the battle.

"Today, Dong thief retreats to Huayin, looking at the trend, I am afraid that he intends to prepare to retreat to Jingzhao, if it is Jingzhao, there is still room for it, but if Dong thief coerces the emperor and retreats to Xiliang, how can we be good?"

Sun Jian was the first to ask this question.

They chased after them, and what they were most afraid of was not the Xiliang army, they wished that the Xiliang army would fight with them, so that they could defeat Dong Zhuo head-on and regain the sovereignty of Guanzhong.

I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo should not fight, and when the time comes, another emperor will go west, and it will be a big problem.

You must know that the first emperor has only one son left, if it is a prosperous era, after the heir, he can still inherit from the clan and become the emperor, but in this troubled world, the people of the world have their own plans, it is unorthodox and difficult to determine the world.

In other words, if you want the emperor to be recognized by the world, you can only be today's son, and no one else.

"It's not the worst possible outcome!"

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "If Dong Zhuo jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed the king, then what should we do?" ”

"I have all the worries of you!"

Cao Cao said calmly: "But the matter has come to this, we can only take one step at a time, Dong thief wants to be punished, Your Majesty wants to save, it is nothing more than the speed of the soldiers, as long as we are fast enough, he Dong Zhuo, can't escape from Guanzhong!" ”

Then, the corners of his mouth raised a slight inadvertent arc, and said: "Besides, don't forget, the two of you don't forget, what the Dong thief committed is the anger of the public, and the holy will of the emperor has made him the target of the public, not only for the sake of the court, but also for one person, or because of official duties, or personal enmity, he will not let go of the Dong thief!" ”

"When the dynasty is a rank of the marquis, the marquis of the Ming Dynasty is Mujing!"

Sun Jian lightly spit out a name.

Mu Jing is a name that many people don't want to say, he is a thief, then he has an official face, and then he continues to become a big thief of the country, and then, he once again asked the court to endorse and whitewash him, and became a first-class prince recognized by the court.

The key point is that he is young.

The name of the young male lord is well deserved.

Now sitting on one side, holding a strong soldier, and making extraordinary achievements, countless people feel a little ashamed in front of him.

"The herdsmen defending the Western Front may be beneficial to us or harmful to us!" Liu Bei said in a low voice: "Don't forget, Dong Zhuo is his enemy, and so are we, but I can't say who he will help!" ”

He said this, naturally he has his own purpose, now even if he and Mu Jing have initially reached a cooperation, but they have to hide, they can't give anyone something to know, even if one day, the East Window incident happens, he will deny it.

"We don't know who the shepherd will help, but I know something!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists, his eyes lit up, and said, "At present, he is not an enemy!" “

The pastoral army is also the army of the princes of King Qin.

On the plus side, he is an ally.

"Brother Meng De trusts this person?" Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao and asked.

"If you want to talk about trust, Brother Wentai trusts him even more, otherwise why would Brother Wentai form an alliance with him and send troops to fight against the Dong thief in Jingzhou?" Cao Cao smiled coldly, looked at Sun Jian's eyes, and became fierce.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Jian has lost his uprightness over the years, and he has learned fifty or sixty percent with a thick heart, and he resolutely denies the connection with Mu Jing: "Brother Meng De misunderstood, it is definitely not an alliance, but a coincidence, I sent troops to Jingzhou, but to punish Dong and the thief in the same party, for the Han family, for Your Majesty, this heart remains the same, heaven and earth can be learned!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't feel half surprised, how could Sun Jian recognize it and form an alliance with the Mu family, don't look at the Minghou Mansion is now temporarily recognized by the princes of the world, maybe if Dong Zhuo is annihilated, the next one will find a reason to deal with him directly.

After all, the princes of the world have all participated in the war against Mu, and speaking of which, they are all enemies of the Mu clan.
