Cao Cao's entanglement made Cai Yan, who was originally a little afraid of Cao Cao, who was full of evil spirits, relax in his heart, got up and smiled, and said generously: "Wen Ji has seen General Cao, and has heard the name of General Cao for a long time. ”

Cai Yan's words are equivalent to helping Cao Cao give the names or generations of the two of them, that is, Cao Cao, his father and her, each according to their own way.

has experienced great changes, but he is still so agile and reacts so quickly, and it is not in vain that Cai Yan is famous as a talented woman in later generations, Cao Cao's heart flashed this thought.

Cao Cao, who was more and more appreciative of Cai Yan, softened his expression a little at this time, and asked with a fist: "Miss Cai, I don't know if Lingzun Cai is the same as Wang Situ?" ”

On Cai Yan's beautiful appearance, a trace of sadness flashed and said: "Don't hide it from General Cao, my father was also taken away by Xiliang's soldiers, and now I don't know where I am." ”

Seeing the sad appearance of the two girls, Cao Cao thought about it, no matter what, the two girls, one of them knew him, and the other of her father was his old friend, he Cao Cao, no matter what, he couldn't just abandon them and the wilderness, so he said: "Miss Cai, Miss Diao Chan, the matter has come to this, this wilderness, plus those Xiliang soldiers who are temporarily hiding, according to Cao's opinion, it is better to follow our army temporarily, and after returning to Luoyang, I am talking about others." ”

Cai Yan and Diao Chan, who heard this, glanced at each other, and finally Cai Yan said: "In this way, thank you General Cao, and I hope I won't drag General Cao down." ”

The girl said it. Cao Cao shook his hand and signaled the two girls not to worry about it.

After joining Cai Yan and Diao Chan halfway, Cao Cao allocated another 300 iron cavalry guards, plus the 500 iron cavalry who were originally guarding Guo Jia's side, the number of Cao Jun iron cavalry was only 2,500, at this time, except for those who died in battle, those who guarded, and those who escorted the people and vehicles, there were less than 1,000 left who could fight.

But fortunately, the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, at this time, has come to an end, and the final pursuit is just a show, after all, he Cao Cao really does not have such a loyal man as he faces, so he will not be stupid enough to use cavalry to attack Dong Zhuo's heavily guarded Hangu Pass.

Due to the drag of the people and vehicles, this time the marching speed of the Cao army dropped significantly, and after nearly ten days, it arrived at Hangu Pass, at this time Dong Zhuo had already taken the Son of Heaven hostage into Chang'an, and at the same time transferred his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead the newly recruited army of Guanzhong and Xiliang plus the old Xiliang army of 50,000, a total of 100,000 troops to guard Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is sinister and majestic, during the Warring States Period, hundreds of thousands of allied troops of the Six Nations, most of the time they stop in front of Hangu Pass, which shows that the Hangu Pass established by the mountain is so steep and majestic.

Such a steep and majestic Hangu Pass, not to mention that Cao Cao took all the cavalry this time, even if it was replaced by infantry, there was little chance of being able to attack it, not to mention, Cao Cao's mind was not here for a long time.

Therefore, after Cao Cao led the army here, after pretending to attack, he immediately withdrew and returned, and the Xiliang soldiers on the pass, seeing this, all breathed a sigh of relief, after all, among the 100,000 Xiliang soldiers, most of them were chased and killed by the Cao army all the way, at this time, seeing that the Cao army finally retreated, how could it not be relieved, as for the pursuit, it is better to forget it.

The soldiers of Xiliang were scared by Cao Cao and did not dare to pursue, as for why the main general Niu Fu did not pursue, in fact, there are deeper considerations, not to mention that Cao Cao fought Dong Zhuo all the way to Chang'an, which originally made Niu Fu have some psychological shadows, even if not, he Niu Fu, although he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but more of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, a subordinate defeated the person who fled to Chang'an with his main male wolf bèi, Niu Fu believes that with his understanding of Dong Zhuo, if it is really done, maybe not only will it be useless, Instead, it can be life-threatening.

On the one hand, as long as An An holds the Hangu Pass and does not let the Cao army break through, there will be merit to be gained, on the other hand, it is not only necessary to go out of the pass to pursue the Cao army, defeated, it is definitely a dead end, and if it wins, it may not have merit, but it is more dangerous.

Therefore, although there was some heartache, the huge wealth of that car was taken away by Cao Jun, but Niu Fu did not have the courage to gamble on this one, using his life as a bargaining chip.

The Xiliang army had no idea of pursuing from top to bottom, which made Cao Cao's retreat easy and comfortable, which made Cao Cao, who was still secretly vigilant in his heart, relax a little, but as long as he didn't reach Luoyang, Cao Cao didn't dare to relax too much.

In this way, Cao Cao, who had been vigilant all the way, finally relaxed after coming to a short distance from Luoyang and looking at the city wall of Luoyang in the distance, and turned his head to look at Guo Jiadao with a smile: "Fengxiao ・・・・・・"

Cao Cao, who originally wanted to talk to Guo Jia about his relaxation and joy at this time, when he saw the drunken and hazy Guo Jia, he blocked his throat in one breath and couldn't go up or down.

Cao Cao, who gasped a few times, scolded loudly: "Guo Fengxiao, on the march, how can you drink like this, do you still have the appearance of a military advisor!" ”

Cao Cao thought to himself, I was scared all the way, you are good, you can still drink drunk and hazy pus, it's really not too leisurely.

In the face of Cao Cao's angry rebuke, Guo Jia said with a bull's head and a horse's tail: "Don't worry, the lord has been waiting for the Xiliang soldiers since they left Luoyang, and Jia has expected that they will not pursue the lord." ”

& I didn't expect that Fengxiao would be an unpredictable prophet. Cao Cao said a little unpleasantly.

He admitted that Guo Jia was very smart and a little like a god, but he even said that when he left Luoyang from the Xiliang army, he expected that they would not pursue, and it was too fake and arrogant, which would not make Cao Cao unhappy, and at the same time, Cao Cao still had a trace of disappointment in his heart.

After Guo Jia drank the last sip of wine in the wine jug, he put the wine jug on his waist, and when he looked up at Cao Cao again, he was still drunk and hazy just now, and his eyes flashed with essence and said: "My lord, as the so-called one drum and then three declines and exhaustion, this words not only represent the morale of the two armies on the battlefield, but also represent Dong Zhuojun." ”

Guo Jia met Cao Cao's somewhat puzzled gaze and said with a smile: "Lord, looking at Dong Zhuo's development, in Jia's opinion, there are three stages, the first is to be vigorous. ”

& Dong Zhuo in this stage, from a small Xiliang warlord, all the way to the power of the world, hijacking the Son of Heaven, doing things to abolish the establishment, the power of the ministers, princes, so far, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army can be said to have reached the peak, if Dong Zhuo at that time, was not fascinated by Luoyang's flower world, but continued to go on in one go, at this time the shape of the world, will undergo great changes, but unfortunately, in the end, most of Dong Zhuo's subordinates under his command are lost in the prosperity of Luoyang. ”
