    After the envoy left, Sun Jian, Cao Ang, and Bao Xin immediately ordered to march north and garrison the Yang people.  On the one hand, this is to show his attitude, and on the other hand, it is also to facilitate the march to Luoyang.

    This situation worried Li Jue and Guo Si, who were stationed in Dagu area.  Although Sun Jian's three coalition forces are not large in number, they are very powerful after long training. In addition, all three commanders are willing to fight. It is really difficult to deal with them. It is impossible for the troops to return regardless of their threats.  But if the troops stay here, their lone army will be in trouble after the Prime Minister evacuates Luoyang!

    Just when Li Jue and others were at a loss, Jia Xu, who was temporarily serving under his command, quietly asked Li Jue: "Does the general want to save all the troops, or does he just want to save his own troops?"

    Li Jue was very surprised and quickly asked for advice: "Brother Wen He, is there any difference between the two? I am now the Zhonglang General, and these soldiers and horses are under my command."

    When Jia Xu saw no one around, he whispered: "There is a big difference. If the general wants to save all his troops, he should mobilize the entire army to go south and create a momentum to fight Sun Jianjian. Sun Jian has just recovered from the defeat.  , I will definitely not dare to be careless, and I will definitely guard the camp.

    The general can send more suspicious soldiers to scare Sun Jian and make him hold Cao Ang and Bao Xin behind so they don't dare to leave the camp.  In this way, the general can lead his army quickly northward.

    By the time Sun Jian reacts, we have already joined the main force of the Prime Minister. Sun Jian will definitely not dare to hit an egg with a stone!

    It¡¯s just that this is more time-consuming, and the timing of evacuation is more difficult to control.  However, once it is successfully implemented, the general can move his entire army northward without losing strength.  "

    Li Jue praised him repeatedly and asked curiously: "What about keeping our troops?"

    Jia Xu said in a low voice: "The general can pretend to be called by the prime minister and send people to stay here to break off the rear, while he leads his troops to quickly go north. In this way, Sun Jian will never dare to pursue the general before he destroys the general's rear-cutting troops; just in this way  , the troops behind us can easily be annihilated by the enemy!"

    Li Jue frowned. Logically speaking, the first plan was more appropriate, but what he lacked most now was time.  If you spend too long here, even if you can escape successfully, you may be sniped by the intersecting troops of the Kanto Allied Forces!  Moreover, I heard that the troops assisting Luoyang residents to relocate were very profitable, and Li Jue was also a little greedy.

    Li Jue whispered: "Wen He, I won't hide it from you. Now the Prime Minister is busy moving the capital and has no energy to deal with frontline defense. If we stay here, we can only die. We might as well evacuate as soon as possible."  . As far as I know, Lu Bu at Hulao Pass is also quietly arranging troops to prepare for a retreat. We must retreat before them, otherwise we may be blocked by the group of people from Guandong. I choose the second option.  It¡¯s just that the general responsible for the end of the war must not be mediocre. I wonder if Wenhe has a suitable candidate to recommend to me?"

    Jia Xu frowned. It was an offending job to recommend a successor. He smiled and shook his head: "General Zhiran, I have only been here not long ago, and I haven't fully recognized the generals in your army. How can I give you any advice?"  ?! It¡¯s up to you to decide this matter!¡±

    Li Jue frowned and thought nervously. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Wen He, I have an idea!"

    So in the evening of the same day, Li Jue and Guo Si summoned the generals and said that the prime minister had an order and called them to lead the elite troops north to help.  As for the defense mission here, it will be left to Duan Yan!

    When Duan Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.  Li Jue, Li Jue, I have no enmity with you in the past, and we have no enmity in the recent past. Why did you leave me here?  Are you trying to force me to death?  Thinking of this, he glanced at Jia Xu and secretly hated him: Jia Wenhe, it must be your bad idea, hum!

    Soon Li Jue announced the list of those who would go north, including all the generals who were dependent on him; as for those neutral factions, they all stayed behind and gave them to Duan Xuan to command.  In this way, the number of people Duan Yan can command is not too small, at least 15,000 people.  It's just that these people usually have insufficient training and weak combat power, so they can barely defend a city.

    After the disbandment, Duan Xu grabbed Jia Xu, dragged him to a secluded place, and scolded him in a low voice: "Jia Wenhe, you must have had a bad idea. I have no grievances against you, why are you like this?"  You're setting me up! It's okay to leave me alone, you have to stay with me, otherwise, I'll find someone to kill you!"

    Jia Xu quickly smiled and said: "Zhongming, this matter has nothing to do with me! I have no enmity with you, how could I frame you!"

    Duan Xuan frowned and said, "It really has nothing to do with you?"

    "It doesn't matter!" Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "If you don't believe it, I swear to God! In fact, if you think about General Li Jue's character, you should understand. Who makes you almost on the same level as him now? He is  It took a lot of effort to get to this position. If I don¡¯t leave you behind, who will stay behind?¡±

      What Jia Xu said made sense. Duan Xuan let go of his hand, bowed to him to apologize, and whispered: "Mr. Wenhe, it's my fault, I wrongly blamed you! Who made me anxious just now! But please still ask me  Help me come up with an idea on how to get out of here? I, Duan Xuan, am very grateful to you!"

    "This" Jia Xu hesitated.

    Duan Xuan said quickly: "Mr. Wenhe, I have five horses and a hundred taels of gold here. All of them are dedicated to Mr. Wenhe. Please give me some advice!"

    Jia Xu was touched. Seeing that the army was about to evacuate to the west, more horses would give more opportunities to escape.  Seeing that Duan Xuan's attitude was very sincere, Jia Xu also felt a little guilty towards him, so he whispered: "Zhongming, I heard that there is no famous general stationed in Huayin area yet. You can send someone to offer a large sum of money to General Li Ru.  And take the initiative to ask for help. Anyway, it is Li Jue's own decision to end the marriage. Li Ru will definitely not know about it, and he will definitely agree, so that you can escape smoothly."

    Duan Xuan was overjoyed and quickly saluted Jia Xu: "Thank you, Mr. Wenhe. I will send someone to Luoyang right now!"

    Jia Xu shook his head quickly, joking, if Duan Xuan was allowed to leave early, how could his own safety be guaranteed?  He smiled and said: "Brother Zhongming, it is better to wait two or three days before sending someone to Luoyang to meet Li Ru. If your envoy leaves early and is discovered by Li Jue, it will be a useless effort!"

    Duan Xuan nodded repeatedly.

    Early the next morning, the scouts sent by Cao Ang noticed something unusual about the Dong army on the opposite side, and quickly reported to Cao Ang: Some troops in the garrison on the opposite side had broken camp and headed north, and the flags they saw were Li Jue and Guo Si; the troops staying on the Dagu front line also  The flag was replaced by a general with the word "Duan", and its leader may be Duan Yan.

    Cao Ang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to Sun Jian and Bao Xin to discuss.

    At this time, Sun Jian also received the report from the scouts. He frowned and said, "I didn't expect this Li Jue to be determined to cut off the tail of a gecko. I really underestimated him! According to the report from the scouts I sent, there were about a dozen enemy troops on the opposite side.  More than 15,000 people! Although they have neglected training, they still defended according to the danger. They are still our army's strong enemies and should not be underestimated! Moreover, Duan Sui is also a fierce general. With him under his command, it will become more difficult for our army to break through the opposite defense line.  How many points!"

    Cao Ang couldn't help but frown. Although Duan Yan was not well-known, he was also a famous general.  Later generations recorded that Emperor Xian fled and Duan Xuan came out of the camp to greet him. Li Jue led an army to besiege Duan Xuan's camp with several times the force. They fought fiercely for more than ten days, but achieved nothing.  It's really troublesome to have this guy guarding the front line of Dagu.

    Seeing Sun Jian and Cao Ang frowning, Bao Xin smiled and shook his head: "Wentai, Zixiu, you two are fans of the authorities. In my opinion, this line of defense is not impenetrable. Listen to me. Now even Dong Zhuo is  While he was busy moving the capital, all his civil and military officials were thinking about occupying a good position in Chang'an and transferring the looted property. How could they still have the will to fight?!

    Even if Duan Xuan wanted to hold on here, his Xiliang soldiers would frequently clamor for him to evacuate in time.  Without the support of his soldiers, even Duan Yan, a famous general in ancient times, would not be able to stop our offensive by himself!

    "As long as we send more detailed scouts and spread false news frequently, the defenders of Dagu will panic.  When the time comes, we will publicize that Leader Yuan has conquered Hulao Pass. Who dares to stay and die?  !  "

    As soon as Bao Xin said this, Sun Jian and Cao Ang were all impressed.  Cao Ang even extended his thumb and praised loudly: "My uncle is very resourceful, and I have learned another trick from my nephew! It is really an honor for me, Cao Ang, to be able to work together with my two uncles to plan big things!"

    Bao Xin smiled proudly, stroking his beard lightly, feeling proud of himself.

    Sun Jian smiled and said: "Zixiu, we two old guys can't bear to be praised every day by a rising star like you! My son Fu Chi is two years older than you, but he is not as calm as you. It's a pity that he didn't join the army.  Come here, how wonderful it would be if you two brothers could get closer!"

    Bo Fu?  It¡¯s about Sun Ce!  Cao Ang quickly smiled and said: "I have long heard of Brother Bo Fu's reputation as the 'Little Overlord of Jiangdong', but I have no chance to meet him. My nephew is deeply sorry."

    After Sun Jian heard this, he sighed immediately, frowned and said sadly: "I didn't expect my son's bad reputation to spread here. Oh my God! After defeating Dong Zhuo, I will discipline him diligently so that he can't do this again."  Such reckless behavior!"

    Seeing Cao Ang's astonishment, Sun Jian smiled bitterly and said: "The little overlord said that my son Bo Fu doesn't use his brain to do things, he only knows how to compete with others. Alas! If I had known this, I shouldn't have allowed him to drive away the private school teacher at home a few years ago.  , now it¡¯s better, it¡¯s so shoddy and shameless, and its bad reputation has spread to the heart of the Central Plains!¡±

    Bao Xin and Cao Ang were speechless

    A few days later, rumors about Dong Zhuo moving the capital and the Kwantung Allied Forces breaking through Hulao Pass spread throughout Duan Yan's defense area.  Cao Ang and others were very careful when fabricating rumors.The difference between true and false is unclear.  Not to mention the soldiers were confused by this rumor, even Duan Xuan believed it.

    As soon as Li Ru's appointment letter arrived, Duan Yan immediately led his cronies to abandon their defenses and rush to Huayin.  So the three armies of Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Cao Ang easily broke through the opposing defense line and went straight to Luoyang!
