At that time, when Ma Chao went to borrow troops, although everyone didn't know why Ma Chao came to Luoyang again, they didn't pay much attention to him. After all, if you come, you will come, and they are also princes of one party, and after knowing that he was here to borrow troops to help Cao Cao, it was too late for everyone to hide from him, let alone say anything to him.

And Zhang Yang is Ma Chao's friend, so Ma Chao didn't say a word, he didn't say a word, so he lent him his 2,000 cavalry. And Zhang Miao is also worried about his friend Cao Cao, at this time he is worried that there is no good way, isn't this Ma Chao coming. He didn't say anything, so he borrowed Ma Chao's only 3,000 cavalry. After the end, Ma Chao also pulled Liu Bei and Tai Shici over, and he didn't know about others, but at least Liu Bei and Ma Chao knew about it, as long as he talked to him, Liu Bei would not refuse to help Cao Cao.

As a result, sure enough, Liu Bei readily agreed, in Liu Bei's thoughts, Ma Mengqi can find himself, that is, he can afford himself, he knows that he can make a move, and he also knows that he and Ziyi have good skills and can help him. That's all, Liu Bei thinks it's enough. It's okay now, after all, they have fought against Lu Bu before, so the others don't underestimate themselves so much now. But they were still different from Ma Chao and Cao Cao, so Liu Bei agreed to go without saying a word.

In fact, Liu Bei originally wanted to go with Cao Cao, but after all, he came with his friend Gongsun Zhan, and he didn't have any people, so he gave up going with Cao Cao. This time Ma Chao came to invite him, and he knew that the opportunity had come again, and it happened to be a one-time visit.

Then he told Gongsun Chan to help Cao Cao, and borrowed 3,000 cavalry from Gongsun Chan. Although Zhang Yang, Zhang Miao, and Gongsun Zan did not follow Cao Cao to chase Dong Zhuo, but at this time, when it came to helping, they were not ambiguous. And Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 cavalry, Ma Chao knows it very clearly, it is a famous white horse righteous servant. And so it was. Ma Chao, Liu Bei and Tai Shici chased after them from Ruoyang with 8,000 cavalry.

Don't look at Xu Rong's tens of thousands of soldiers, but these infantry of his are not opponents of other cavalry, so he also knew that Lu Dao was now impossible, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

"That's it today, we'll fight again tomorrow! The whole army retreats! ”

To say that Xu Rong is indeed worthy of being a general, his people are decisive on the battlefield, and at a glance, he knows that his side is already at a disadvantage, so he immediately ordered to retreat, which is not wrong at all. Know the way. If it is a little later, the loss of troops will only increase.

Ma Chao and they didn't chase them, and he also knew that it was already good to be able to force Xu Rong back and relieve Cao Cao from the siege, and it would definitely not be someone who would suffer if he chased him down.

After Cao Cao saw a few people. First thanked him, "Thank you Meng Qi, Xuande and Ziyi Zhuang!" But for now, I would like to ask for your help. Lu Fengxian is not far away! ”

A few people listened. There was also Lu Bu, as a result, he hurriedly led his troops to the direction of Lu Bu, and at a glance, wasn't it, the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren were fighting hard with Lu Bu, and Cao Ren was injured like that.

Ma Chao didn't go to the war. And Liu Bei and Tai Shici took the lead. Lu Bu saw that the sword maker had actually come again, and the other party's men and horses had come too much, so he estimated that he was not an opponent. Then retreat quickly. Lu Buxin said, it's not that I'm afraid of you today, but that you are outnumbered, and you are really at a disadvantage, so it is not appropriate to fight for a long time.

Lu Bu said to the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren: "I will let you go today, your reinforcements will come in time, let him fight again in the future!" ”

After that, he pierced Cao Ren with a halberd, and Cao Ren hurriedly turned his horse in a flash, and Lu Bu took the reins and shouted at the iron horsemen of Bingzhou: "Withdraw!" ”

So the iron cavalry of Bingzhou followed Lu Bu's order, no one dared to fight in love, and retreated as soon as he slipped away.

Cao Cao didn't say that he was going to pursue Dong Zhuo now, and he also knew that this matter was over. He could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Let's go back too!" ”

Ma Chao and the others also knew that it was not easy for him and others to say anything at this time, so they also led their troops to follow Cao Cao and returned to Luoyang.

When the people who were still in Luoyang saw Cao Cao and a few people coming back with troops, and then looked at Cao Cao's disgraced appearance, they all knew that this must have been ambushed. Maybe if Ma Chao and the others didn't help, Cao Cao might really be more than lucky.

Zhang Miao, who was good friends with Cao Cao, came over and said a few words to Cao Cao, and then Zhang Yang and Gongsun Zan also came over, Cao Cao hurriedly saluted a few people and said: "Thank you for your help today, or the consequences will be difficult to say!" ”

Zhang Yang and Gongsun Zan also said a few polite words to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao came to the crowd at this time and said to them: "Hehe, Cao Zhidao has a lot of jokes that everyone wants to see Cao, and it is indeed for everyone to see." But Cao today wants to say to you that when you were righteous and made an edict, you came to the alliance, and I thought that you could unite as one and fight Dong Zhuo together. It's a pity that I never thought that first Sun Wentai was killed in Yangcheng Mountain, and then today everyone stood still, watching Dong Zhongying move the capital to Chang'an, but they were all indifferent. I am very disappointed, I am very disappointed! As the so-called 'Tao is different, not conspiring with each other', Cao today is more able to understand why Sun Wentai led the troops to leave, everyone, Cao has now resigned, I hope you are all good at doing it yourself! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao left with the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, and then there was a report from Tanma, saying that Cao Cao had left Luoyang with his troops.

Cao Cao's words made everyone speechless. They really didn't know what they should say, and after Cao Cao left, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, said to everyone: "Everyone, I don't know what plans you have now? ”

Ma Chao said: "Alliance leader, Chao must rush back to Bishui Pass first, and then after a few days of rest, he will lead the troops back to Liangzhou!" ”

Yuan Shao nodded, "It's okay, Meng Qi will go back first!" ”

Everyone knows that there is no benefit to Luoyang now, no one wants to occupy this place, if you occupy it, not only will it be no good, but you have to throw benefits into it, harming your own interests. And the people closest to Luoyang didn't have that mind, let alone a long distance. So as soon as everyone saw that Ma Chao was leaving, several other people also spoke, saying that they would also leave after the rest of their army.

Of course, Yuan Shao wouldn't want to keep others, so he said: "Okay, since everyone has their own plans, Shao won't say much!" In fact, Shao also thinks the same, let's meet again in the future! ”

Ma Chao said in his heart when he heard this, the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance is only once in this life, and there will never be a second time to gather so many people.

And Ma Chao was the second to leave Luoyang after Cao Cao, but before leaving, he deliberately returned to his mansion and quietly took away the heirloom jade seal. This thing is really useless to him now, but it can't be used in the future, so Ma Chao decided to take it with him.

Then Ma Chao returned to Bishui Pass, when he returned to Bishui Pass, Cao Cao had not left Bishui Pass, not that Cao Cao deliberately waited for Ma Chao, but after all, he returned to Bishui Pass with the remnants of the army, so the speed was not much faster than Ma Chao who went to the mansion to take away the jade seal of the country and then came back.

After all, he saw it, so Ma Chao deliberately sent Cao Cao out of Bishui Pass, and Cao Cao said to Ma Chao before leaving: "Meng Qi, do you say that the Han has really reached such a situation?" ”

Ma Chao didn't say anything first, just shook his head slowly, and then said: "Brother Meng De, I remember that when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he was the first emperor, and he called himself Qin I. He wants his children and grandchildren to be like this for all generations, from one generation to ten thousand generations, but what is the final result......

Ma Chao didn't say much about this, because he knew that Cao Cao had understood what he meant, and Cao Cao smiled bitterly after hearing this, and also shook his head, "Alas! Meng Qi, I'm leaving, take care! ”

"Brother Meng De, take care!"

Cao Cao led the troops back, and Ma Chao looked at his back and said to himself: "'The capable minister who rules the world, the traitor of the troubled times', it's a pity, now you and I are born in troubled times, Brother Meng De, you are destined to become a traitor!" ”

On the second day, Gongsun Zhan returned to Beiping through Bishui, but he deliberately said goodbye to Ma Chao, of course, Liu Bei and Tai Shici, who also returned to the plain together.

Ma Chao also personally sent them out of Bishui Pass, "Brother Bo Jue, Brother Xuande, Ziyi, take care of the three of you all the way!" ”

"Meng Qi (brother) take care! Farewell! The three of them said to Ma Chao, and then led the troops away.

Ma Chaoxin said that Sun Wentai is now dying early, and his eldest son Sun Ce is not too old now, and Sun Quan is even more of a child. As for Cao Cao, he is transforming into a traitorous male, only Liu Bei, that is the real hero, not a thing in the pool! It's just that there is no time, no time. So now that they have a bigger advantage than them, they have to make good use of it, or they will really waste such a great opportunity.

After that, Zhang Yang also came to say goodbye to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao and him briefly said a few words, and then Zhang Yang said to him: "Meng Qi, don't forget what you promised, if you have the opportunity to go back to Bingzhou to see!" ”

Ma Chao smiled, "Uncle Zhi, you still remember this, you earned me in the first place!" ”

"Hahaha!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, let's send it here, you don't have to send it far, Meng Qi take care!"

"Little brother sends Uncle Zhi to him!"

After sending Zhang Yang away, there was nothing he valued, so Ma Chao also returned to Liangzhou with his troops, and the princes' alliance was completely dispersed. (To be continued......)
