    [An additional update is dedicated to the second deacon-level book friend of this book, "¡ÚYun Tianqing¡Û". Next time, an update will be added to the first book friend.  ] Looking at the corpses discarded by the Liangzhou Army soldiers on Mang Mountain, Bao Xin sighed and said to Sun Jian and Cao Ang: "Wentai and Zixiu, these are the bones of sages, how can we let them die in the wilderness?!  Anyway, Dong Zhuo can't figure out our details for a while and won't fight back. I'll stay here to sort out their corpses! Brother Wentai, you and Zixiu go build the camp and supervise the follow-up troops so that they can come as soon as possible.  Bar."

    Sun Jian nodded, but did not move, and called to Cao Ang who had just walked away.  Sun Jian was heard whispering: "The Dong thief is unscrupulous and digs graves. It is really abandoned by both man and god! It's just a pity to leave so many funerary objects in the ground. If we bury them in a hurry now, it will be confused.  Master, destroy the funerary objects; secondly, it will give hope to the tomb robbers, and they will inevitably avoid excavation in the future. Anyway, we are in need of military expenses now, so it is better to use them rationally."

    Bao Xin said angrily: "Wentai, how can you say this? If we touch these funerary objects, wouldn't we be on the same level as Dong Zhuo?! If you want to use them, I won't touch these things anyway!"

    Sun Jian was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Cao Ang didn't say anything, he turned to him for help and whispered: "Zixiu, please advise Yunjie to change his mind. Let's take the lead in breaking through the Dagu defense line and defeat Dong Zhuo's Mangshan troops.  , doesn¡¯t it cost money and food? The soldiers are injured and disabled, should we just watch them become beggars? The people along the way were abused by Dong Zhuo¡¯s troops, doesn¡¯t it cost money to help them build houses and give them some food rations?  I don¡¯t know what the situation is like at your place, but my quartermaster here is already empty-handed! It¡¯s better to use the money to defeat the Dong thieves and help the people than to bury them and have them stolen by tomb thieves in the future!¡±

    Nominally Sun Jian was talking to Cao Ang, but in fact he was talking to Bao Xin. I have to say that there was some truth in his words. Bao Xin also hesitated, but he still had some concerns.

    At this time, Cao Ang whispered: "Two uncles, I, Cao Ang, only know that when we rushed to Mang Mountain, Dong Zhuo had already left with the recovered money and jewels. There were only more than 10,000 men and horses left behind, as well as those in the Mang Mountain tomb.  Tired of corpses!¡±

    "Yes!" Sun Jian slapped his thigh: "Dong Zhuo has moved away all the burial objects. There are only the corpses of the sages here!"

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, Bao Xin could barely accept it.  Even if word of this spreads out, everyone will only despise Dong Zhuo's brutality and cruelty and will not doubt them.  On the contrary, as long as they provide relief to the people as Sun Jian said, then they will be famous in the world as teachers of benevolence and righteousness!

    Seeing Bao Xin nodding, Sun Jian suggested dividing the seized money into three parts, with each of the three armies taking a portion.  As for the lacquerware and pottery scattered on the ground, they were buried nearby to preserve some relics for the owner of the tomb.

    Soon, while the sky was still bright, the soldiers quickly buried the corpses in the grave nearby. Bao Xin wrote a memorial and ordered people to pay homage to Tailao.  Strangely enough, after the memorial ceremony was burned, the sky became gloomy, and soon it started to rain!

    As a new young man who traveled back in time to ancient times, Cao Ang originally had a respectful attitude towards ghosts and gods. Now that he saw it, he felt a little flustered and quickly followed Bao Xinxin several times to lament and return.

    At this time, Sun Jian said to the two of them: "Yunjie, Zixiu, according to reports from my scouts, Dong Zhuo has piled firewood in Luoyang City and is ready to light a fire at any time. Now he has just suffered a major defeat and is busy gathering his troops.  By the time he reacts, Luoyang's century-old foundation will be destroyed! I'm going to rush to Luoyang first and frighten Dong Zhuo away. What do you two think?"

    Cao Ang nodded repeatedly: "What my uncle said is true. Dong Zhuo must not be allowed to destroy our centuries-old imperial capital of the Han Dynasty! But in my opinion, Dong Zhuo is newly defeated and should not have the courage to fight us. It will not be difficult for my uncle to scare them away. And the defenders of Hulao Pass are now  They should have heard the news and are probably preparing to evacuate to Luoyang. If my uncle rushes to Luoyang, he is very likely to be attacked by Lu Bu and others! My nephew is not talented and is willing to rush to Hulao Pass to harass the enemy's retreating troops and win for his uncle.  time!"

    "Good!" Sun Jian praised loudly: "What do you think of Yun Jie?"

    Bao Xin said in a deep voice: "Since you two have chosen the most difficult task, I, Bao Xin, am not talented enough to be my supporter!

    ¡°Let¡¯s see, there are less than 10,000 of us in total, and I have 5,000 troops. It would be a waste to stay here.

    Wentai only has 3,000 troops, which is really weak.  I will give you my brother Bao Zhong and his three thousand elite troops, hoping that you can successfully scare away Dong Zhuo!

    Zixiu went to fight against Lu Bu, and it was very difficult with only two thousand troops around him.  I will allocate another thousand people to you to strengthen your momentum.  In this way, I will lead a thousand people to sit in Mangshan and send the entire team of follow-up troops into battle at any time.??, I wonder what you two think?  "

    Sun Jian was overjoyed: "With the help of Shuyi's three thousand men and horses, I have more confidence in my trip. Soldiers are valuable and quick, so I'll go!"

    After saying that, Sun Jian saluted the two of them and immediately turned around and left.

    Cao Ang had previously revealed to Bao Xin the news that Cao Cao might still be alive. Seeing Sun Jian leaving, Cao Ang whispered to Bao Xin: "Uncle, my father is still in Dong Zhuo's hands, so I'm really worried. Please ask uncle to pass this on."  Dong Huang will keep a strict watch on him and not let him escape. Maybe I can rely on him in exchange for my father in the future."

    Bao Xin nodded and said in the same low voice: "Zixiu, don't worry, Meng Deji has his own destiny, and he will definitely come back safely. You might as well not go to Luoyang for the time being, so as not to make Dong Zhuo angry with your father. We will go to Hulao Pass now.  You must be careful, Lu Bu is also a tiger and wolf general, you can't be careless!"

    Cao Ang nodded repeatedly, saluted Bao Xin, and left with the troop deployment token.  Soon they ordered their troops and horses and headed towards Hulao Pass.

    When he attacked Luoyang earlier, Cao Ang only brought 2,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 3,000 soldiers were handed over to the command of Wei Zi and Li Su.  Now including the 1,000 soldiers supported by Bao Xin, he only had 3,000 troops in hand, so he had to be careful.

    As soon as they passed Mang Mountain, Cao Ang immediately ordered Han Hao to lead more than a hundred capable scouts to set off in advance, on the one hand to reconnoiter the situation, and on the other hand to try to get in touch with Huang Gai's troops who had set out earlier to strengthen their strength.

    Considering that the troops had just fought a battle, Cao Ang ordered the soldiers to set up camp and rest after traveling for more than an hour.  He took four generals, Liao Hua, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Shi Huan, and more than ten guards to go out to conduct reconnaissance in person.

    It was already getting late at this time, but the official roads near Luoyang were all well-built, and the roads were still smooth.  Everyone rode forward and unknowingly had left the camp for more than 20 miles, but still found no trace of the enemy or the messenger sent back by Han Hao.

    Seeing this situation, Le Jin suggested that everyone return to the camp.  But at this moment, Li Dian pointed to the distance and said, "Look, my lord, a cavalryman is running over there, and he seems to be wounded!"

    Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a war horse running towards him in the distance. There was a man lying on the horse's back. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

    Everyone was very surprised and quickly rode up to meet him.  As he got closer, Shi Huan recognized him and whispered: "This is Han Hao's bodyguard. Why is he injured?"

    Everyone quickly helped the man off his horse and saw a long arrow stuck in his back!  Shi Huan quickly pinched him hard and smelled the musk on him.

    "Maybe Shi Huan used too much force. The first thing the man did when he woke up was not to cover the arrow wound on his back, but to cover his nose in a hurry.

    Shi Huan was a little embarrassed. Cao Ang didn't care about anything else and quickly asked: "What happened? How could you be injured? Where is Shi Huan?"

    The man followed the call and saw that it was Cao Ang. He quickly replied: "Your Majesty, we will find that General Huang Gai is relying on the hill to fight with the retreating Lu Bu troops. General Han led us to quietly observe the situation.  , see if we can be of any help.

    Unexpectedly, at this time, a group of infantry suddenly rushed out from the oblique thrust, inserted right into the lower back of Huang Gai's troops, and pushed Huang Gai's defense line back again and again!

    Although General Huang Gai resisted vigorously, although the infantry in the camp was small, they all stepped forward bravely, shouting "invincible", and defeated General Huang Gai's guard battalion in one fell swoop!

    Seeing that General Huang Gai was about to fall into the hands of the enemy again, General Han couldn't bear it, so he led his army to attack and tried to rescue him.  Unexpectedly, Lu Bu immediately threw in a group of cavalry, which smashed our army into pieces.  This troop of cavalry holds the "Yanmen Cavalry" flag high and can defeat the charge of our scouts head-on. They are really elite!

    Seeing that the situation was not good, General Han ordered me to come and report the news, and at the same time personally led people to lure the enemy away.  I rushed on my way, but was shot by an enemy general with an arrow. I don¡¯t know what happened after that.  "

    When Cao Ang heard what he said, he immediately thought of two people, one was Gao Shun and the other was Zhang Liao.  It seems that Lu Bu has already formed the trapping camp and Yanmen Cavalry at this time. However, the two armies have a small number of people, so each has the size of a hundred-man camp.

    After the man reluctantly finished his report, he lost consciousness again due to excessive bleeding.

    Le Jin quickly said to Cao Ang: "My lord, it seems that Lu Bu has quietly led his army to evacuate, and happened to meet Huang Gai's troops, and the two armies fought. Otherwise, General Huang Gai only had a thousand men and would not be able to take the initiative. Now  Since Lu Bu has defeated Huang Gai's troops, he is likely to take advantage of the situation and go south. My lord is in great danger here, so we should return to the camp quickly!"

    Li Dian also said to Cao Ang: "My lord, we are going out to conduct reconnaissance in person now. There are no capable people in the camp. If we are raided by the enemy, it will be a big deal. Please return to the camp immediately to stabilize the morale of the army and determine the location of the camp."Game!  "

    The generals persuaded him one after another, but Cao Ang could only agree and lead the generals back to the camp to prepare for the battle.  At the same time, he ordered the more than ten guards accompanying him to immediately go to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and report the situation to the camp at any time, but they were not allowed to engage in combat with the enemy without authorization.
