Chapter 45: Pursuit of Dong Zhuo (3)
& Thanks to the mediocre self-disturbing 123xx tip!
Outside the Luoyang City Gate, the black-clothed and black-armored Cao Jun got out of the way and handed over the two-hundred-year-old imperial capital Luoyang behind him to Sun Jianwei, who was also an allied army.
After Sun Jian led the army into Luoyang City to set up defenses, Cao Cao thought about it and said loudly: "Zhao Yun, Chen Gong!" β
& (subordinate>
Looking at the two people who came out, Cao Cao said to the two of them: "Zilong, Gongtai, you and the other two, lead six thousand infantry to the Tiger Prison Pass, where to take, garrison and standby!" β
& Duke, if 6,000 soldiers are sent to the Tiger Prison Pass, there will only be 4,000 iron cavalry > left under the command of the lord
Zhao Yun's later words did not come out, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was very worried that after Cao Cao's division of troops this time, his troops would be greatly reduced, which might have some bad effects on the pursuit of Dong Zhuo.
Regarding Zhao Yun's worries, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Don't worry, to pursue Dong Zhuo, four thousand iron cavalry is enough, and six thousand infantry are here, but it will slow down the speed, and the gains outweigh the losses. β
When Cao Cao came to the back, he said to Zhao Yun and Chen Gong very strictly, and when the two saw Cao Cao being so solemn, they didn't refute it, and responded.
On the road, when chasing Dong Zhuo in the direction of Chang'an, Cao Ren suddenly asked Cao Cao in a loud voice on the war horse: "Lord, why did you give Luoyang to Sun Jian, but you wanted to chase and kill Dong Zhuo?" β
In response to Cao Ren's question, Cao Cao said with a smile while galloping on his horse: "Do you say that it is important to be a ruin, or is it important to be a son of heaven." β
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Cao Ren immediately said without thinking: "Of course it's the Son of Heaven." β
After Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren, he seemed to say to him, and said to Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind him: "Luoyang is already a ruin, useless things, the Son of Heaven is the treasure of the treasure, if we can rob the holy car, it is definitely the head of the Han court, from now on, all the princes will be impressed with us, and the court will at least entitle me as the Xiliang Thorn History or the Taishou of Jizhou, so that we can lay a great cause." β
This is the whole reason why Cao Cao can't wait to give up Luoyang, this time chasing Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao set himself three goals, upper, middle and lower, on, of course, it is to rob the holy car, there is no need to wait until the future Li Dao Guo Yan troubles Chang'an, when Emperor Han Xian escapes from Chang'an, and then welcome Xu Du.
If it is achieved, when the princes compete for hegemony and compete for the world, he Cao Cao can coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes to beg for the sake of the holy decree at the beginning, and occupy the righteous position from the beginning.
In the case, then it is the amazing wealth that Dong Zhuo got after sacking the entire imperial capital Luoyang, and this wealth, even if he did not get the Son of Heaven in the end, was enough for Cao Cao's initial development and enough for him to widen the gap with other princes.
If you can't succeed in robbing the Son of Heaven and seizing the wealth, then there is only one way left to defeat Dong Zhuo, if you can defeat Dong Zhuo, even if you fail to achieve the two goals of Shangzhong, but you can also talk about comfort on top of fame.
Of course, in Cao Cao's mind, as long as God is not specifically working against him, it is not easy to say, and there is still a great chance that it will be achieved.
If the upper or middle is completed, especially the middle, then how to avoid the eyes and plots of the princes from all walks of life, the Tiger Prison Pass has become the most important place, which is why Cao Cao asked Zhao Yun and Chen Gong to go to the Tiger Prison Pass with 6,000 infantry to garrison.
Not to mention what Cao Cao thought in his heart, just after Cao Cao's words came out, not only Cao Ren and other generals, but even Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with admiration and said: "The lord can endure what ordinary people can't bear and give up the imperial capital Luoyang, he is really a wise lord." β
Cao Cao smiled casually, without any fluctuations, after all, his family knew his own affairs, Cao Cao from later generations, Luoyang's status in his heart was really not as important as in the hearts of people in this era.
This can also be regarded as a benefit of Cao Cao from later generations, that is, often things that can make people lose their minds in this era, such as the imperial capital Luoyang, the jade seal of the country, etc., have no way to make Cao Cao lose his mind.
After entering Luoyang first and gaining the first credit for entering Luoyang, Luoyang's status in his mind is not much left, or it is completely gone, after all, Luoyang is already a ruin, what is the point of such a city occupied.
After admiring and admiring Cao Cao for being able to give up Luoyang so rationally, Cao Ren's face was stern, and he couldn't hide his worry and said: "Lord, we are chasing and killing alone on this trip, although Dong Zhuo is defeated, his defeated army in Xiliang is still no less than tens of thousands." β
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren, although he felt some emotion in his heart, at this time, Cao Ren was not a general who would command the army in the future, and he could stop the siege of Guan Yu's army with only a few thousand soldiers, but Cao Cao's face did not show the slightest smile: "The army is not outnumbered, and the army that flees is not afraid of it." β
Cao Ren can become a famous general in the future, and he himself has the foundation of a general, so as soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Cao Ren understood something a little, but Cao Ren, who still had a layer of worry in his heart, continued to ask: "But Lu Bu is by Dong Zhuo's side, this person is extremely brave." β
After Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at Cao Ren, he said: "Although Lu Bu is brave, but I also have you, Dian Wei, and Zhongkang, three tiger generals, not to mention, Lu Bu is brave, but he is a horseman, and he will definitely not become a climate. β
After Cao Cao's voice fell, Guo Jia on the side said: "Lord, although Dong Zhuo is also the end of the strong crossbow, but there is Li Ru beside him, and he must not be underestimated. β
During the war, it is absolutely important to have a strategist, for example, at this time, not to mention that Cao Cao originally knew that Dong Zhuo would set up an ambush, even if he didn't know, with Guo Jia's words, as long as he was not a mediocre lord who was stubborn and couldn't listen, it would be absolutely impossible to be ambushed.
If Cao Cao, who was above history, was like himself, he had recruited Guo Jia early, and it would not have been possible for him to be defeated in an ambush in the process of pursuing Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao thought to himself.
& Since filial piety knows the enemy's plan, I don't know how to solve it? Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Guo Jia on the side, after thinking for a moment, smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, then you only need to be like thisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
