Xingyang.
Although it wasn't large, it was still considered a splendid and prosperous city as it was close to the imperial capital.
But Dong Zhuo moved westward, like locusts flying over the ground, scraping three feet of the ground.
The small city had also turned into a sea of fire, leaving behind ruins.
Corpses were scattered all over the official road, and people were too cruel to gamble.
Outside the mountain forest, the 20,000 strong army had gathered and were led by the famous general Xu Rong.
This person was a man of few words and few smiles, but his mind was clear when he fought. To put it bluntly, he was a man of few words and a top-notch tool.
Looking at the young general Yang Yu beside him, Xu Rong's heart was filled with admiration.
Unfortunately, the Prime Minister's secret order had to be strictly enforced.
"General, the scouts just reported that the White Wave bandits in the east of the river have heard that the Prime Minister has moved westward and have already led their troops south to obstruct him. I will definitely divide my forces to intercept and ensure the safety of the flanks.”
There was no need to say anything else.
Yang Yu knew very well that these words were no different from farting.
The White Wave Bandits were a force that had risen up again after the Yellow Turban incident. They had always been entrenched near the east of the river. They could enter the capital region to plunder or retreat to the Taihang Mountains to mediate.
Dong Zhuo had once sent troops to suppress them several times, but they were unable to win.
But even so, the White Wave Army did not dare to show off at this moment.
Dong Zhuo was eager to move westward, and he even sent out all his troops. He could be said to be able to kill gods and buddhas who stood in his way.
If their brains were fried, they would come and obstruct them.
Therefore, Xu Rong could either learn from Li Su and find a scapegoat at the end. If the enemy chased after him, Yang Yu's troops would take the lead to block the enemy and give Xu Rong time to prepare.
It was either Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's intention to test their loyalty and quality. If they survived, they would rise to fame, and if they died, there was no need to say anything.
"This is a serious matter. Since the White Wave Army is obstructing us from moving south, we have to get rid of them as soon as possible.”Yang Yu nodded heavily.
Xu Rong smiled." But you don't have to worry. I'll give you two thousand men. This way, unless more than a hundred thousand allied troops arrive, they won't be able to do anything to you."”
"Those two thousand people are on the river bank ten miles north of here. Regardless of whether they are chased or not, they can retreat to Hangu Pass before dawn tomorrow.”
After saying that, Xu Rong led more than 10,000 Western Liang cavalry to the west.
They came and went like the wind, and in a short while, all that was left was the billowing smoke.
When Xue Rengui led the 2,000 people to the forest, even though Yang Yu was mentally prepared, he still could not help but curse.
"F * ck you, damn fatty!"
It couldn't be helped. The two thousand people in front of him were simply the best of the best.
All of them were as thin as a stick, and they did not have much meat on their bodies.
In the local government army, they were all trash.
"My lord, how should we deal with these people?”Hua Mulan asked softly.
"Sigh…" Yang Yu sighed."Xue Rengui, lead 3,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry and lay in ambush beside the mountain dock. If any soldiers come after us, do not let them go. I will personally lead these 2,000 old and weak people to lie in ambush in the forest five miles away."”
"When you hear the battle cries in front of you, intercept and kill them so that the alliance army won't dare to pursue.”
As the saying goes, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. According to common sense, Yang Yu should be with his greatest capital, the three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry.
However, with the support of the system and the circumstances, he had to take a gamble.
He didn't expect all of these 2,000 old and weak people to turn black. If he could turn a few hundred of them into black, they would also turn trash into treasures and become a great help in the future.
Even if it didn't work out, he could escape to Xue Rengui with Hua Mulan.
Yang Yu looked at the undisguised fear in the eyes of these old and weak people, and there was only anticipation.
.....
As he walked around Luoyang City, which was still in flames, Cao Cao was extremely anxious.
The palace could be rebuilt if it was gone, and the city could be repaired if it was destroyed.
But now, the only direct descendant of the royal family was the young emperor. If Dong Zhuo really brought him to Chang 'an, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A single Tiger Cage Pass was enough to stop the alliance army, let alone Hangu Pass and Tong Pass.
"Full speed ahead!"
"We have to catch up to Thief Dong before dawn!"
Cao Cao waved his whip and shouted.
Although they knew that the soldiers were exhausted from the long journey, they only had one chance. Even if they ran to their deaths, they had to chase after them.
Ambush?
There was indeed a hidden danger.
However, Cao Cao looked at the Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers with confidence.
That night, they were lucky. When the Liu brothers saw that the dukes had stopped moving, they were so angry that they wanted to return to their hometown in Hebei, saying that they would pull up a volunteer army to replace the dukes to help the king.
Regardless of whether they could gather a team, Cao Cao would not let them go just like that.
Therefore, when he said that he would lead the army in pursuit, Liu Bei mounted his horse and followed without a word.
"Xuande, if we encounter Lu Bu and that white-robed general, we will have to rely on Guan Zhang's bravery.”
Liu Bei replied in a deep voice," Don't worry about Meng De. I am a relative of the Han clan. I will save Your Majesty from the danger of fire and water. I will not hesitate to kill you."”
Guan Yu was silent, but Zhang Fei was still hot-tempered. He shouted,"It's fine if we don't encounter them, but if we do, we'll definitely stab a hundred holes in those servants and gigolos!”
Ever since the three of them had sworn an oath, there had never been a match on the battlefield. Even Guan Yu would fall into a disadvantage after fifty rounds.
However, when he reached Tiger Cage Pass and wanted to show off his might, he unexpectedly ran into a wall.
They couldn't take down Lu Bu or that pretty boy.
He had been drinking a lot these few days and wanted to take revenge even in his dreams.
"The valiant general of Yi De will definitely get what he wants this time.”Cao Cao smiled and glanced at Guan Yu from the corner of his eyes.
Ever since he killed Hwa Xiong with warm wine, he had been thinking about it for some reason.
He had many powerful generals under him, but none of them were as attractive as Guan Yu.
After running for a few more miles, Cao Cao smiled and said,""You are all heroes of the present age, and I can see that you all have the determination to revive the Han Dynasty, but it is difficult to do it alone. After this matter, why don't you go to Chen Liu as a guest and discuss the plan?”
The speaker had the intention, and so did the listener.
Liu Bei was very smart. He knew that Cao Cao was up to no good when he heard this.
All the dukes coveted Guan Zhang's bravery.
However, as his elder brother, other than his unique appearance, he only had the title of a Han clan relative.
Right now, the emperor was just a decoration, and the royal family was even more dispensable.
If he really reached Chen Liu, it would be fine if he recognized him as his master, otherwise, it would be difficult to leave his corpse intact.
"Meng De's good intentions-"
Before Liu Bei could finish his words, he heard the sound of killing.
"Kill!"
