Yuan Shao led the vassals to follow him. When he saw Luoyang on fire, he ordered the vassals to station their troops on the wasteland.
Cao Cao came to Yuan Shao and said,"Now that Dong has gone west, we can take advantage of the situation to pursue him. Why didn't they move at first?”
Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said,"Everyone is tired. I'm afraid it won't do us any good if we continue to advance so rashly."”
Hearing this, Cao Cao became angry and said,"Dong, you have burned the palace and kidnapped the emperor. The sea is shaking and I don't know where to go." This is the time of the demise of heaven, and the world will be settled after one battle. Why are you so suspicious and not attacking?”All the vassals said that they could not be easily moved.
Cao Cao was furious,"This brat is not worthy of my advice!"”So he led more than ten thousand troops, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Yue Jin, and prepared to pursue Dong Zhuo himself.
At this moment, Guangling Prefecture Governor Li Feng came to see Cao Cao. Li Feng said,""I know that General Cao is going to chase Dong Zhuo. He hoped that they could join forces and kill the bandits together.”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said,"Governor Li is truly a minister of the state. The rest are just mediocre people." If you can get the help of Governor Li, you will win this time.”
Li Feng took his leave and led his troops to meet up with Cao Cao. Together, they chased after him.
When they reached Xingyang, Li Feng ordered the army to stop and said to Cao Cao,""Li Ru is a scheming person. If we chase him like this, he will definitely ambush his troops. We have to be careful if we go down. If we encounter an ambush, we will divide our forces to resist. You will block the front and I will block the back.”
"Governor Li's words are reasonable," Cao Cao replied. Alright, let's do that."
So the two armies continued to advance. After chasing for more than ten miles, they suddenly saw Lu Bu's army in front of them. Cao Cao rode forward and shouted,"Rebel, don't leave. What do you want to do by robbing the emperor and migrating the people?”
Lu Bu returned to his horse and set up his formation." You coward who betrayed your master, how dare you speak nonsense!"”
Cao Cao's general, Xiahou Dun, raised his spear and rode straight to Lu Bu. After a few rounds of fighting, Li Wei led an army to attack from the left. Cao Cao quickly ordered Xiahou Yuan to meet the enemy. Guo Si led an army to attack from the right. Seeing this, Li Feng quickly ordered Zhang He to stop him. Another shout came from behind, and Xu Rong led an army to attack from behind. Xu Huang quickly stepped out to block. The two sides were locked in battle. Li Feng saw that Xiahou Dun couldn't stop Lu Bu, so he quickly ordered Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to help. The three of them just happened to stop Lu Bu. Li Feng thought to himself,'Fortunately, I knew that there was an ambush here. Otherwise, I would have lost miserably.'”
The two sides were evenly matched. Suddenly, another army appeared in front of them. It was Li Ru, who saw that Lu Bu could not win, so he led his own army to attack. Cao Cao could not resist and was defeated. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to lead the cavalry to attack. Li Feng's army was also in chaos. Cao Cao then led his army to Xingyang and retreated. Li Feng saw that his efforts had failed and was really unwilling to give up. He raised the scorching sun and cold killing and did not retreat. He rushed into the enemy's formation and charged left and right. Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and the others saw Li Feng advance instead of retreating, and in their shock, they followed suit. Although Li Feng and the others were brave, there were too many rebel soldiers. Dian Wei's eyes were bloodshot from the killing, Zhao Yun's white armor was dyed red with blood, and Zhang He felt his hands go soft. At this moment, Xu Huang had already killed Xu Rong and returned to his horse. When Tian Feng saw this, he shouted,"Gongming, quickly help the lord retreat. Xu Huang led the rear troops into the formation and joined up with Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang He to attack Li Feng. Xu Huang shouted,"My lord, the bandits are too powerful. Cao Cao has already retreated. If we don't retreat now, we will all be wiped out."”
When Li Feng heard this, he looked around and saw that they were all rebel soldiers. He couldn't help but calm down. He bit his lower lip and said,""Retreat, retreat!" So he killed his way out together with the final result.
Dong Zhuojun chased after him closely. Dian Wei dismounted from his horse and held his halberd on the ground. He took out a small halberd from his back and shouted,"Call me when the thief is ten steps away!" The soldiers looked at the enemy and shouted in unison,"Ten steps!" Dian Wei threw out his small halberd, injuring seven or eight people in a row. He then shouted,"Call me after five steps!"
"Five steps!" the soldiers said in unison.”Dian Wei threw several more halberds and injured several people. Dong Zhuo's army was shocked and didn't dare to chase after him. They turned back in fear.
Dian Wei then pulled back his halberds and mounted his horse, allowing Li Feng's army to escape.
At the foot of a barren mountain, it was about the second watch, and the moon was as bright as day. Li Feng had just reorganized the remnants of the army, and more than half of them had died. There were only about 6,000 people left. He did not expect that although he had already known the situation here, the reality was always different from what he had imagined. He had thought that he could use his own understanding to change today's history, but he did not expect that he would still fail. He still could not change this outcome. He had lost all his capital. Li Feng sat on a big rock and thought,""I didn't manage to save Diao Chan this time, and I lost so many of my troops.”Thinking of this, he spat out blood and shouted,"How can I face the elders of Guangling?”After saying that, he fainted.
Tian Feng and the others were shocked. They quickly carried Li Feng into the temporary tent and asked the military doctor to treat him.
After the military doctor finished reading, he said," The lord is just worried and anxious. In addition, he was too tired from the battle just now, so he fainted." I'll prescribe some medicine. She'll be fine after resting for a while. Please rest assured, Military Advisor and Generals." Tian Feng and the others were relieved.
Not long after, Li Feng woke up. Tian Feng and the others advised,"Please take care of your health, my lord. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, so there's no need to do this.”
Li Feng shook his head and thought, You guys won't understand. If I can't win this time, I won't be able to save Chan 'er, and she will be used by Wang Yun as a serial trick. I wanted to fight back, but I couldn't. Sigh, Heavens! You are really cruel." She closed her eyes in pain.
After resting for a night, Li Feng propped himself up and left the camp to inspect the wounded soldiers. Seeing the wounded soldiers in pain, Li Feng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. "I, Li Feng, have let everyone down. I've made everyone suffer with me."”
The soldiers usually loved Li Feng very much. Seeing the prefect like this, they all knelt down and said,"We are here for the country and the people. We can go through life and death with the prefect. Governor, you still have to protect your body. Guangling can be like without us, but not without the general.”
When Li Feng heard the words of these most sincere people, he was almost moved to tears and said,"You are all good men. To have such good brothers like you, I, Li Feng, have not wasted my time in this world.”
Tian Feng and the others walked over and pulled Li Feng back."My lord's body hasn't recovered yet. Why did you come out again? It was better to go back and rest. We will take care of the injured.”
In Luoyang, Sun Jian put out the fire and stationed his troops in the city. He set up a tent on the base of Jianzhang Hall. That night, a soldier came to report,"There is a five-colored light rising from the well in the south of the hall.”Sun Jian then ordered people to go down to the well to explore, found the jade seal.
"If you grant it to my lord today, there will certainly be a 95% chance of success," said Cheng Pu. We can't stay here for long. We should go back to Jiangdong quickly and plan something else.”
Sun Jian felt that it was reasonable and prepared to leave the next day under the pretext of illness. He also instructed his subordinates not to spread the news.
Unexpectedly, there was a fellow countryman with Yuan Shao who secretly told Yuan Shao that he wanted to be an official. After Yuan Shao knew about it, he waited for Sun Jian to come and say goodbye before saying,"I know that your illness is harming the Imperial Seal.”
"Why do you say that?" Sun Jian was shocked.”
So Yuan Shao asked the soldier to come out and confront him. Sun Jian was angry and wanted to kill him, but Yuan Shao stopped him.
Sun Jian refused to admit it even if he died. The two of them parted on bad terms and returned to the camp to prepare to leave immediately. Suddenly, someone reported that the Governor of Guangling had sent someone to see him. Sun Jian called him in and said,"Why did my brother send you here?"
"Governor Li has ordered me to deliver a letter to you," the messenger said.”
Sun Jian took the letter and read it."Big brother, I heard that you have just obtained the jade seal and want to take it back to Changsha. The younger brother deeply believes that this is not the case. The jade seal is an ominous thing. The world is not peaceful. I'm afraid I'll be punished. I hope you'll think twice. Your younger brother Li Feng pays his respects." Sun Jian looked at it and thought to himself,"He also has selfish motives when he sees that I have the jade seal."”He didn't listen to Li Feng.
"Alright, I know." Sun Jian waved his hand. You can go back now."
The messenger took out another jade pendant and said,""This is a gift from my prefect to General. He also asked me to tell General that if you need it, you can take this jade pendant to him. I hope General will take care of it.”
Sun Jian kept the jade pendant and the messenger left. Sun Jian immediately set off for Changsha.
When Yuan Shao heard that Sun Jian had left without saying goodbye, he was furious. He wrote a letter and sent a confidant to Jingzhou overnight to deliver it to the governor Liu Biao, instructing him to intercept and seize it on the way.
