After Cao Cao crossed Hangu Pass, he was shocked to find that the outside and inside of the pass were two completely different worlds.
The outside of Hangu Pass was calm as if the world was at peace, but the inside of the pass was completely chaotic.
In the counties around Chang 'an, Western Liang soldiers could be seen burning, killing, and looting from time to time. Some even set the city on fire.
This was not the end. After one wave of Western Liang soldiers had destroyed the city, another wave of Western Liang soldiers rushed out to kill the rebels.
With the principle of not taking advantage of others, Cao Cao's army had not only replenished the supplies that were previously stationed outside Hangu Pass, but also distributed them.
windfall
Just as the Cao army swallowed another small group of troops and was collecting their spoils of war.
In ancient times, productivity was low, and weapons and armor were of utmost importance. With these spoils of war, Cao Cao could instantly raise an army.
On the contrary, without weapons and armor, even if they recruited soldiers, they would only be farmers without weapons.
Dong Zhuo was undoubtedly the wealthiest of the dukes, and the Western Liang soldiers were also equipped with the best equipment.
At this moment, a flying horse came to report.
Report!
The scout stopped in front of Cao Cao's carriage and nimbly dismounted.
"Reporting to my lord, a large cavalry unit has been discovered ahead.”
Western Liang Cavalry!
Cao Cao's heart jumped. What he feared really happened.
Out of the 30,000 Cao troops, there were only 5,000 cavalrymen, and the remaining 25,000 were infantry. Encountering a large group of cavalrymen on the plains was simply a nightmare.
He couldn't run. Cao Cao couldn't abandon all his infantry and run away.
Fighting would be too disadvantageous. Everyone knew that Western Liang's flying bear cavalry was brave and good at fighting. They were definitely the overlord of cavalry. And many of Cao Cao's 5,000 cavalrymen had never seen blood before.
A discerning person could see through the pros and cons of the recruits at a glance.
"Have you seen the number of enemies?"
The scout bowed again.”
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and ordered Cao Ren,""Line up! Prepare to face the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Before Cao Ren could turn his horse around, another horse appeared in front of Cao Cao's carriage.
That person was not a scout. He was eight feet tall and had a handsome appearance. He carried a nine-foot long spear.
Xiahou Dun, character let.
He was one of Cao Cao's most trusted generals and was also synonymous with the name of a valiant general in Cao Cao's army. However, that was before Zhang Wu joined Cao Cao.
Xiahou Dun didn't get off his horse. He cupped his fists at Cao Cao and said,"My lord, Li Jue requests an audience.”
"Li Jue, it's actually Li Jue! This fellow is Dong Zhuo's trusted general, why does he want to see me?”
"He didn't tell me, he only said that he wanted to see my lord.”
" Don't worry, my lord." Guo Jia, who was beside the carriage, lifted the wine gourd at his waist and wanted to take a few gulps. However, he realized that there was only water in the gourd and not wine. He laughed awkwardly.
"The Western Liang Army has done many unjust things. If Dong Zhuo dies, the old troops will be terrified like stray dogs. My lord, go and take a look.”
"Although Dong Zhuo is dead, he still has four hundred thousand men.”
"My lord, you will know once you investigate."
Cao Cao followed Xiahou Dun to the front of the front line and saw the cavalry behind Li Jue lined up in a straight line. They had no intention of charging. Cao Cao should
He was relieved.
At this distance, even if they really fought, the cavalry would not be able to charge forward. Cao Cao was not afraid at all, and he even believed Guo Jia's words.
"General Zhi Ran specifically asked to see me, I wonder what advice you have.”Because he wasn't sure if the other party was here to join him, Cao Cao's tone was still very calm.
It was polite.
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Li Jue and his subordinates dismounted and knelt on one knee."Greetings, my lord."
This action made Cao Cao a little confused. Even if they wanted to join him, they didn't have to call him Lord right away. The normal process shouldn't be like this.
Son ah.
"Cough, how can Zhi Ran call me Lord?”
Li Jue cupped his fists and said," Before Chang 'an killed Dong, I was taken in by General Zhang Wu. I am willing to lead my horse and charge into the enemy's formation. Please do not abandon me, my foolish self."”
Cao Cao was overjoyed. He dismounted and helped Li Jue up."My general is like a tiger with wings, how could I dare to despise him? However, since Dong Zhuo was dead, why didn't Zhi Ran stay in Chang 'an City?
Help Ziqian stabilize the situation."
"My lord, please allow me to report. After the Flying Bear Army was incorporated, the Si River Pavilion ordered me to incorporate the remnants of the Western Liang army. He led 20,000 Flying Bears to guard Chang 'an and wait for my lord.
On the way, I saw the flag with the word 'Cao' on it. I knew it was my lord, so I came to pay my respects.”
Li Jue then explained in detail how Zhang Wu had single-handedly broken through the 3,000-strong Flying Bear Army, broken through the gates of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his spear, killed Dong Zhuo, and bullied the Emperor.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, praising his bravery.
On the other hand, Xiahou Dun, who was following behind Cao Cao, did not seem to be convinced. He clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked.
"Ziqian is not only the bravest general in the world, but also the most blessed general in the world. I'm lucky to have him!”
Cao Cao's old face was almost crooked from laughing. He had already started to think about whether he should betroth his four-year-old daughter to Zhang Wu.
F * ck, she really didn't know what to reward him with. Anyway, that kid was as famous for his lecherousness as his bravery. During the war, he even brought women with him. Even Yuan Shu, that silkpants, didn't care.
He didn't dare to play like this.
Killing Dong Zhuo, capturing the emperor, and capturing the flying bear were all great rewards. However, that kid had completed all of them in two months.
The reason why the Xi Liang Army could hold Luoyang like a tiger and look down on the vassals of the world was because of the advantage of the cavalry.
Cao Cao knew that now that he had 30,000 flying bears, it wouldn't be long before he became the next Dong Zhuo, the greatest duke in the world.
Cao Cao believed that he wasn't Dong Zhuo and wouldn't ruin his bright future. Moreover, with Zhang Wu's loyalty, he was stronger than Dong Zhuo.
After all, Zhang Wu was able to defeat Lu Bu at the age of fourteen. In another ten years, would there still be anyone in the world who could be a match for that monster?
.........
Zhang Wu, who was in Chang 'an, did not know that Cao Cao and Li Jue had already joined forces and were rushing toward Chang' an.
Right now, he was extremely busy.
First, Lu Bu gathered a portion of the Western Liang soldiers and left Chang 'an.
Later, Guo Si incorporated Niu Fu's troops and built a high wall in the dock to spy on Chang 'an.
There was also the White Wave Thief Yang Feng, who had gathered a portion of his remaining troops and served the Emperor under the guise of loyalty.
Zhang Wu could understand why Lu Bu had run away. After all, Lu Bu had gathered the least number of troops. Moreover, because he had betrayed Dong Zhuo, he was viewed with hostility by many of Dong Zhuo's former subordinates.
Chang 'an would definitely not tolerate him.
Zhang Wu could tolerate Guo Si's taking of the wealth of Niwu for the time being. After Dong Zhuo's death and Li Jue's defection, he became the most senior general in the Western Liang Army.
Wan Xiliang's armored soldiers could be a little arrogant for the time being. Anyway, he did not have the courage to really attack Chang 'an.
The one who disgusted Zhang Wu the most was that Yang Feng. A thief like you had just been recruited, yet you jumped out to play the role of a loyal minister and filial son. But the emperor and ministers eat this
You have three to five hundred people, while I have one to two thousand slaves. They will send all the money and equipment to Yang Feng's military camp. At this moment, Yang Feng said that he had already grasped it
A troop of no less than 50,000 people.
Yang Feng was like a toad lying on his feet. Zhang Wu coveted Guo Si's wealth and wanted to send troops, but he was afraid that Yang Feng would occupy Chang 'an and kidnap the emperor. don't bite
He was really repulsive.
However, Zhang Wu had no way to kill him directly. The key was that he had no excuse.
There had been a chaotic battle in Chang 'an because of the crusade against Dong. At that time, the chaotic battle could be said to be for the sake of righteousness. If they killed Yang Feng now, they would not be able to pass in name.
The flames of war rose again, and Bai Xinneng in Chang 'an drowned Zhang Wu with his spit.
