Rumors gradually began to circulate in the pass, some said that Li Dao was going to lead a large army to capture Luoyang, some said that Yuan Shaoxing's soldiers from Jizhou came to crusade against Wang Qing, and even Luo Gan had already led a large army to attack the revolving gate pass.

All kinds of rumors are saying that there is a purpose, that is, to tell you that Wang Qing is going to be finished.

At this time, Wang Qing had already sent people to Cao Ying, but Cao Cao did not meet the envoy, but Cheng Yu and Xiahou met the envoy.

"I wonder why General Zhendong is not in the camp?" The messenger wondered.

Xiahoudun said casually: "Oh, my lord is going to ......"

"Ahem, cough~" Cheng Yu coughed and interrupted Xiahoudun's words: "My master is just resting, if you have anything, you can tell us directly, we can call the shots." ”

Cheng Yu behaved deliberately, as if he wanted to cover up something, so the envoy was very curious, but he didn't want to ask forcibly.

The envoy directly followed Wang Qing's explanation: "My general said that as long as Cao Gong is willing to retire, he can write to the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven will crown Cao Gong as General Wei." In the future, if Cao Gong wants to conquer Luo Gan, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, etc., my chariot and cavalry generals will all support it, and the Son of Heaven will specially issue an order to allow Cao Gong to conquer. If Duke Cao insists on attacking Yique Pass, then my general will have to stick to it to the end. If it really comes to that point, Cao Gong will be a rebel and a thief who plots to rebel. I hope that the two of them can inform Cao Gong later and withdraw as soon as possible. ”

Xiahou was stunned, and when he was about to say something, Cheng Yu secretly stopped him, and said to the envoy with a smile: "Okay, good, the envoy can report back to the general of the chariot cavalry, and my lord's guild will retire." ”

"That's it, that's it, just let the Son of Heaven make me the lord and general of my family, and it will make us troublesome to use our troops." Xiahoudun said impatiently.

The envoy was secretly unhappy in his heart, Wang Qing controlled the government, and he was also the general of the chariot cavalry, and there was a hussar general in front, and then he was the general, how could you Cao Cao want him to override the lord at once.

"Haha~ This General Wei is already tied with my general Che Cai, both of them are at the level of the Three Princes, which is enough. I'll go back to the general of the chariot cavalry, and you should pack up your things earlier and prepare to withdraw your troops. The messenger said with a haha.

"As long as the holy decree is given, our army will retreat immediately without delay." Cheng Yu said very solemnly.

"That's good!" The envoy turned around and went out, secretly observed the layout of the one-ear Cao camp, found a lot of problems, and immediately quickly returned to the pass.

And all this is under Cheng Yu's gaze.

"General, I didn't see Cao Cao, his advisers and generals said that as soon as the holy decree arrived, they would immediately retreat. However, according to my observation, there do not seem to be many soldiers and horses in Cao's camp, and many camps are empty. The envoy reported to Wang Qing.

"Isn't Cao Cao in the camp?" Ma Xun said curiously.

"Hey~ Cao Cao is not in the camp, according to the report from the spies, Cao Ren quietly led a military horse to the east. And this Cao Cao's adviser and confidant agreed so happily, could it be that Cao Ying outside the gate was bluffing? In delaying time and confusing us, Cao Cao has actually led the main army to quietly attack other places? Wang Qingyi analyzed, and he was also taken aback.

Hu Cai shouted: "This Cao Cao is really cunning, he must be attacking other passes." General, we sent troops to destroy the remnants of the Cao army, and we are sending scouts to find out the whereabouts of the Cao army, so we should prepare early. ”

Ma Xun remembered some messages in the pass, and said a little anxiously: "General, there are rumors that Yuan Shao, Li Dao, and Luo Gan have all raised troops to seize the emperor. I don't know if it's true or not, in case Luoyang is besieged on all sides, these soldiers and horses in our hands will be difficult to resist. It is best to repel Cao's army as soon as possible, so that there is a mobilization of troops and horses. ”

"Yes, yes, let's talk about the Cao camp outside the gate first, and we will return to Luoyang City."

"Send troops and destroy Cao's battalion."

Whether it is Ma Xian, Ma Jin, or Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le, they all advocate going out of the customs to attack and destroy the remnants of Cao Ying.

In fact, they also concealed Cao Cao's intention to win them over, after all, this would arouse Wang Qing's suspicions.

Wang Qing hesitated, what if it was Cao Cao's trick?

There are risks in the battle out of the customs, and it is not a good thing to stay in the customs, it takes time and requires soldiers and horses.

In fact, sometimes the two armies face each other, unless the intelligence is very poor, otherwise many times the advisors under the princes or the monarch himself can also think of some problems, and can think that this may be a trap for the other party.

But sometimes judgment determines how good a person really is, whether he can really distinguish the true intentions of the other party, and make the most suitable choice for himself.

That's why you know yourself and know that your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and when you are a commander, you must know your own strength, and you must find out the situation of the other party.

Of course, if it is a conspiracy, it will make you know that it is a fire pit, and you have to jump. If the conspiracy is not seen through, and it only goes up with one foot, it will be over, and you will lose all the games if you are not careful.

All the generals were waiting for Wang Qing to make a decision, and there was a meteor from Luoyang to report from Malay.

"Report ...... Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao claimed to have led 100,000 troops to Luoyang, and now he has entered Henan and came straight to Luoyang. Tong Changzhi asked you to quickly write and solve Cao Cao, and lead the troops back to Luoyang to resist Yuan Shao. ”

Wang Qing was shocked, there was Cao Cao in the south, Yuan Shao in the north, two ways to attack, the abdomen and back were attacked, how is this good! It's good if he can block one, two together, and you can't finish the game.

The generals under him were even more in an uproar, they still left messages before, but now they have become a reality, and there are already two ways to confirm, what about the two other ways? Will Li Dao and Luo Gan let go of this opportunity?

General Hu Caisan ignored Cao Cao's solicitation before, because their Bai Bo Army controlled the imperial court, which was much better than Cao Cao, and naturally they would not defect to Cao Cao before they were defeated by Cao Cao.

But now, Li Le and the others feel that it is time to find a way out for themselves.

Wang Qingyi gritted his teeth and waved his big hand: "Since this is the case, then Bo has a fight, tomorrow you will lead the army to destroy Cao Ying, and then follow me back to Luoyang City, hold on, and go down to prepare." ”

"No!"

……

In Luoyang City, Dong Cheng has been paying attention to Cao Cao's movements, and when he saw that Wang Qing led his troops to deal with Cao Cao, he wanted to take the opportunity to do it. Then Wang Qing was not there, Tong Guan was still there, and Li Jian under Wang Qing led soldiers and horses to guard the security of the palace and the entire Luoyang City, and he couldn't do it easily.

Dong Cheng then also wanted to make a statement to the Son of Heaven, and ordered Wang Qing to let Cao Cao enter Luoyang, but unfortunately it was also destroyed by Tong Guan.

Tong Guan is still very good at dealing with the emperor, which makes Liu Xie very happy and relies on him.

However, Dong Cheng was also unwilling, on the one hand, he strengthened his ties with other ministers, and on the other hand, he recruited more family disciples and secretly expanded his manpower.

In the palace, Tong Guan looked for the emperor.
