A few days later, Dong Zhuo saw that Luoyang had been emptied, so he ordered the soldiers to set a fire, and then led the army to Chang'an.

The officials and people who went to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo, as long as they fell behind, they would be beaten by the accompanying soldiers, and in desperation, they could only move forward desperately.

Because Dong Zhuo allowed the soldiers to plunder the people, there were many people who had no food in the hands of the accompanying people, and countless people died of starvation along the way.

Dong Zhuo suppressed it several times, and saw that his soldiers suffered many casualties, so he took Li Ru's words and asked people to distribute thin porridge to leave a way for the people to live.

When the accompanying people saw that there was a way to live, they were not desperate, they only hoped that they would be able to survive when they arrived in Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people of Luoyang, and the corpses of the people along the way were not buried, allowing wild beasts to gnaw.

Cao Cao, who was outside the Tiger Prison Pass, heard the overwhelming crying from the pass, and there was a fire in the direction of Luoyang, and knew that something big had happened, but unfortunately he didn't know what was going on, so he ordered the spies to inquire and went to Li Huiyi's camp by himself.

Li Huiyi heard that Cao Cao was coming, and hurried out of the camp to greet him. "Brother Meng De is here today, but for the sound of crying and shouting in the gate?"

Cao Cao saw that Li Huiyi knew his intentions, and hurriedly asked: "Presumably Huiyi already knows the situation in the Guannei, hurry up and talk to Brother Wei." ”

Li Huiyi glanced around, and then led Cao Cao into the tent. "This is not the place to speak, Mende, please come to the tent and speak."

Cao Cao sat down in the tent with Li Huiyi, and asked impatiently: "Huiyi said quickly, presumably something big must have happened in the pass." ”

Li Huiyi said sadly: "Huiyi also learned the news today, that Dong Zhuo actually moved the capital to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and asked the soldiers to accompany the people of the city, and set fire to set fire to Luoyang, the ancient capital of a hundred years. ”

After Li Huiyi finished speaking, he left tears, and the more he cried, the more sad he became.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was also sad, touched the tears in the corners of his eyes and said: "Huiyi is not sad, we should report this matter to Yuan Shao as soon as possible, and let him send troops as soon as possible." ”

Li Huiyi nodded, and as soon as the two of them came out of the tent, they met Yuan Shao's soldiers who came to give orders, so they hurried to Yuan Shao's camp with him.

"Master Yuan, now that Dong Zhuo has committed public anger, as long as we attack each other to the death, we will definitely be able to win the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and the others who walked into the tent while talking, and said, "The leader of this alliance has already had this intention, so he will wait for the two to arrive." ”

Li Huiyi opened his mouth and said: "In this case, Huiyi ordered to trap the camp and shoot cavalry, suppress the defenders of Guanshang, and wait for the infantry to attack with all their lives, Yuan Alliance Master, do you think it is feasible?"

Yuan Shao glanced at the princes and ordered: "Okay, Liaodong Hou leads the camp to cavalry, and the rest of the princes will lead the troops with the leader of the alliance to attack the fortifications, if there is no former, everyone can kill them!" ”

"Obey the orders of the alliance leader! If you don't break the tiger prison, you will not withdraw from the army! Seeing this, the princes received orders one after another, and turned around to lead the troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.

I don't know if the princes were angered by Dong Zhuo's retrograde, this time, they all charged forward, not afraid of life and death.

Seeing that the Allied forces had completely changed, the Tiger Prison guards hurriedly ordered the soldiers to defend hard, and the two sides fought hard for a day, and the Tiger Prison guards thought that the Allies would retreat.

Thinking that the allies lit a fire outside the pass, and then kept riding and firing rockets, the allies took advantage of the fire to attack and did not retreat, and they looked like they would not give up if they did not take the tiger prison pass.

The generals had no choice but to gather together to discuss, and finally unanimously decided to leave 3,000 soldiers to defend it, and the rest of the people led the troops to retreat and report the matter to Dong Zhuoyu.

The Allied army attacked the dead for a day and a night, paying tens of thousands of soldiers' lives, and finally captured the Tiger Prison Pass when the sun rose.

Yuan Shao's face was covered with blood at this time, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he still forcibly summoned everyone to discuss.

Yuan Shao looked at the princes who were also tired, and said: "You have all attacked day and night, and you are already tired, it is better to rest for a day and lead the troops to Luoyang, what do you think?"

Yuan Yi heard Yuan Shao's words, nodded and said: "Yes, Yuan Meng's words are reasonable, when he just came to the road, he saw that the soldiers were already standing and sleeping, which shows that he has no energy. ”

When the princes heard Yuan Yi's words, they echoed one after another, and suddenly Cao Cao said loudly: "No! At this time, the morale is high, as long as the reward is tempted, the soldiers will definitely burst out of their potential, and then with the power of victory, lead the troops to hunt down and kill Dong Thief, and they will be able to welcome back His Majesty in one fell swoop. ”

Li Huiyi agreed: "Meng De's words are reasonable, we should pursue as soon as possible, and only need to leave a few soldiers to go to Luoyang to extinguish the fire, instead of missing the opportunity!" ”

Yuan Shao heard the words of the two and objected: "The leader of this alliance thinks that when Dong Thief learns that the tiger prison is broken, he will definitely leave the elite soldiers behind, and our soldiers are already at the end of the crossbow, and I am afraid that it will be a defeat at the first touch, and the losses will be heavy!" ”

"Yes! Reasonable, reasonable. ”

"That's right! The alliance leader has a point. ”

Yuan Shao looked at the whispering princes with a smile on his face.

Yuan Shu had already seen that Cao Cao and Li Huiyi were unhappy, and when he saw that the princes were all opposed, he fell into the well and said: "Yes, you two want to catch up and die, and lead the troops as soon as possible, why bother to pull me and wait together." ”

Cao Cao begged bitterly: "Zhugong listens to Meng De's words, the Dong thief is holding hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang, and it takes a lot of soldiers to guard, Meng De guesses that the soldiers will not exceed 20,000 after the break, and we have more than 100,000 people, can't we win, this is a godsend, please send troops!" ”

Li Huiyi saw that Cao Cao bowed to the princes, and the princes sitting there did not react, so he sneered and said: "Why do Meng De ask these villains, the two of us will lead the troops forward, and we can also welcome back Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao looked at the princes one by one, and when he saw that they didn't dare to look directly at him, he sneered at the time: "Okay! Good! Good! If this trip is to destroy the Dong thief and welcome back His Majesty, Meng De will not be held accountable, if he returns after a big defeat, you will be Meng De's enemy, and you will meet on the battlefield in the future, don't blame Meng De for being ruthless! ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned his head and left the tent, and Li Huiyi followed closely behind him. "Alas! Why did Meng De have to set up so many strong enemies for himself. ”

Cao Cao saw that Li Huiyi cared about him, and said comfortingly: "There are some people in this tent, even if they come ten times more, what is Meng De afraid of, there are only a few people in this world who can fight with me Cao Cao, but there are only a few people, Huiyi is not worried." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was so arrogant, Li Huiyi actually had the idea of following in his heart, and after that, he relieved himself and said: "Meng De can have such pride, so that Huiyi is too worried. ”

When Cao Cao heard Li Huiyi's words, he turned his head and stared at Li Huiyi and said, "Don't Huiyi want to know, who those people are?"

Li Huiyi had never seen Cao Cao like this, so he panicked in his heart, avoided his eyes and asked casually: "Who are the several people Meng De said?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao saw Li Huiyi avoiding his eyes, laughed and said: "If this battle does not welcome back Your Majesty, the world will definitely fall into the division of the heroes, and the northern states will definitely fall into the hands of Huiyi, Sun Jian may be able to defend Jing and Yang, and the rest will not be worried, they will be destroyed by my Cao Cao." ”

Li Huiyi was shocked by Cao Cao's words, and he couldn't see the situation clearly as a traverser, but Cao Cao's authorities saw it even more thoroughly, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Cao Cao saw that Li Huiyi didn't speak, thinking that he didn't believe in himself, so he said: "The world is about to be in chaos, Huiyi will wait and see." ”

Li Huiyi was in a self-entanglement at this time, and was awakened by Cao Cao's words, quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked: "Then if you and my brothers meet on the battlefield in the future, will Meng De be merciful?"

Cao Cao said without looking back: "When we meet on the battlefield, there is only the enemy, how can there be brotherhood, but Meng De will help take care of his wife and children, and will never let him be bullied." ”

Li Huiyi had already walked to the gate of his camp at this time, and when he saw Cao Cao walking towards Cao Ying's camp in front, he shouted: "Brother for one day, brother for life, if we meet in the future, Huiyi is fortunate to win, and I will ask Meng De to settle down beside him." ”

Cao Cao heard the voice behind him, and his footsteps did not stop, but the tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled, and slowly slid down his face.

Cao Cao wiped away his tears, as if he were speaking to himself. "Good brother, I'm afraid that you and I won't be able to call the shots in the future."
