    Early the next morning, Cao Jun camped.  Sitting at the gate of the camp, Le Jin seemed to have transformed into an Indian Asan, with bandages wrapped around his head.  The fire that had been burning on the camp gate for most of the night was finally extinguished, revealing a dark background.  Le Jin just sat there, watching more and more prisoners being brought back by the pursuing troops, and obediently walked into the emergency prisoner of war camp.

    Last night, Lu Bu's army's main formation was raided by Cao Ang, and the formation was in chaos. Coupled with the unknown fire coming from the distance, all the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army mistakenly thought that "the Kwantung Allied Forces had broken through, and the grain and grass troops had also been burned by the Allies." Most of them were confused.  Losing the will to fight, the entire army collapsed.  Lu Bu and others had no choice but to retreat in a hurry, only to save themselves. Le Jin and other injured and unconscious soldiers were quickly treated.

    Seeing Li Dian coming on horseback, Le Jin rubbed his head and shouted loudly: "Mancheng, how was the harvest? Did you catch any big fish?"

    Li Dian shook his head, "This group of Bingzhou soldiers are not good at fighting, but they are good at running away. Their backsides feel like they are on fire, and they have already disappeared without a trace!"

    As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and asked with concern: "Wen Qian, how is the wound on your head? Why don't you lie down in the wounded barracks?"

    Le Jin shook his head, "I feel dizzy when I lie down, so I might as well do it here! Fan A said, I have to adapt slowly. The Lord said I have a concussion, drink some decoction, and it will be fine after a while. Yes.  Wen Qian, where did you kidnap the war horse from?!"

    Li Dian smiled proudly, "You don't know yet. Last night, Yuan Jian and the others set a fire in the woods. After frightening away the Bingzhou Army, they worked with the main force of our army to capture the Bingzhou Army's baggage troops in one fell swoop.  , a lot of grain supplies and war horses and armor have been seized. We have made a fortune this time! All officers above the level of uncle are equipped with war horses. My lord is very partial and has specially left you a great white horse. How about we exchange it for you?  Change?"

    "Tch, dream on!" Le Jin stood up with his sword in hand, "I'm going to see my war horse, don't let you change it for me secretly!"

    Half an hour later, Cao Ang beat drums to gather the generals. Cao Ang in the Chinese army tent said with a smile: "Last night we bravely defeated Lu Bu's troops and won a great victory! The results of the battle have just been calculated, and 2,429 prisoners of war were captured.  , captured 476 war horses, more than 3,000 stones of grain, more than 200 pieces of iron armor, more than 800 pieces of leather armor, and a large amount of money and materials, it can be said that the results of the war are rich!"

    Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but cheered, and Cao Ang also laughed heartily.  When the excitement passed, Cao Ang grimaced again and said in a deep voice: "The victory is certainly gratifying, but our army also paid a heavy price last night. Six hundred and twenty-four people died on the spot last night.  There are more than a thousand people seriously injured! After a while, the quartermaster will count the names of the dead in order to distribute pensions in the future. Everyone must write a post-war summary and give it to me before turning off the lights at night. "

    The generals all nodded in agreement. At this time, Cao Ang said with a smile: "Don't look so bitter and resentful. There is good news that I forgot to inform everyone just now. We have contacted Han Hao and the others this morning.  Then they will escort Huang Gai here."

    Le Jin muttered in a low voice: "Master, that Huang Gai is a broom star, let's send him away quickly."

    When everyone thought about it after what he said, it really made sense.  Not long ago, when Huang Gai was in Sun Jian's army, Sun Jian was attacked by Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong. He only escaped with his life, and his general Zu Mao died bravely in the battle. This time, Huang Gai finally recovered from his injuries, but he was beaten just after he led the army into battle.  The whole army was defeated.  This person's luck is really not good.

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "Don't say that, it's not such an exaggeration! Let's pack up and go to Luoyang this afternoon. When we see friendly forces, don't talk nonsense."

    Everyone agreed with a smile, and Li Dian asked curiously: "My lord, have you received news from Sun Jian? Has he fought with Dong Zhuo?"

    Cao Ang saw that everyone was very curious, so he smiled and said: "Look at you, you are as curious as children. I just received a letter from Uncle Bao. Sun Jian has succeeded in raiding Luoyang. I was stunned from  Dong Zhuo captured more than 200,000 people who were forced to leave. Now Uncle Bao is seizing the time to transport troops to Luoyang to prepare for Dong Zhuo's counterattack. We also rush to Luoyang to prevent Sun Jian from being defeated by Dong Zhuo because he is weak.  ! At the same time, let¡¯s see if there is a chance to defeat Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu again!¡±

    As soon as he said this, he heard someone outside the tent shout loudly: "My lord, no!"

    Everyone was very surprised when they saw someone striding into the tent, but it was Li Su.

    Li Su saluted Cao Ang and said in a deep voice: "The humble minister Li Su has met my lord. Although my lord has good intentions, our most urgent task now is not to rush to Luoyang, let alone attack Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, but to unite with the allied forces outside the pass.  Cooperate inside and outside to win Hulao Pass!"

    Cao Ang couldn't help but frown, and he was very happy.He grinned and said: "Li Su, you have been with the Xiliang Army in the past. We know that you have feelings for them, but since you have returned to our Cao Army, and the lord has tried every means to get your relatives and family members out, then you should  The only thing you have to do is serve your lord wholeheartedly, how could you"

    Before Le Jin finished speaking, Cao Ang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Le Jin, Li Su is not such a person. Since he made this suggestion, he must have his reasons. You are not allowed to speculate!"

    When Cao Ang said this, Le Jin could only shut his mouth. Li Su was very grateful for this.  I heard him say in a low voice: "My lord, generals, our lord has fought with the Xiliang army many times, and basically won the victory. However, as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao has not made any achievements, and his face must not look good.

    This time we saw the right opportunity and rushed into the suburbs of Luoyang together with Sun Jian and Bao Xin to defeat Dong Zhuo's troops. However, the remaining dozen or so princes did nothing in front of the pass. What will the people of the world think?  !

    Now that Sun Jian has rushed into Luoyang first and stole the limelight, he will definitely become the target of public criticism!  But at least he has the title of Marquis of Wucheng, and we only have a small amount of land in Zhi County, so it¡¯s better to grab some benefits without having to risk your life!  "

    Shi Huan and others disagreed with this, but Cao Ang nodded: "Li Su is right, send the order, rectify the troops, and march to Hulao Pass!"

    One day later, the troops arrived at Hulao Pass, beating the war drums and blowing the horns.  Yuan Shao and the others who were helpless in front of Hulao Pass heard the movement and immediately launched an attack on Hulao Pass. The defenders of the pass were attacked from both sides and were quickly defeated and surrendered.

    Cao Ang immediately took Le Jin and others to meet Yuan Shao in his camp. Before leaving, he deliberately put on the blood-stained clothes and armor from yesterday.

    Yuan Shao looked at Cao Ang who was covered in blood, looked at Le Jin whose head was tightly wrapped, and looked at Li Dian who was hanging by one arm. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "My nephew Zixiu, you have suffered!"

    Cao Ang saluted him: "Uncle, my nephew is incompetent. He was attacked by Lu Bu last night. Hundreds of people were killed, more than a thousand were injured, and most of the supplies in the camp were burned. Fortunately, today we intercepted part of Lu Bu's baggage.  Otherwise, my nephew¡¯s army will be out of food!¡±

    Hearing what Cao Ang said was so miserable, Yuan Shao and other princes felt more comfortable for some reason.  Look, how powerful Lu Bu is, how he beat the rising star Cao Ang into such a miserable state.  It's not that we don't work hard, it's just that the enemy is too cruel!

    Yuan Shao patted Cao Ang's head gently and said in a deep voice: "Zixiu, don't worry, my uncle will make the decision for you, and he will provide you with all the clothes, armor and food! My uncle has been urging the soldiers to charge during this period, but he was stunned.  Fighting back again and again, this Lu Bu is really too cruel! Everyone understands and understands you!"

    Being persuaded by Yuan Shao, Cao Ang was immediately moved and his eyes were red, and he tried his best not to shed tears (actually Cao Ang was trying his best to squeeze his tears, but it was a pity that he was not an actor, so he would shed tears so easily).

    Yuan Shu and others also stepped forward to comfort him, and Cao Ang endured his "sadness" and introduced the situation in the pass.

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, Dong Zhuo actually gave up Luoyang and fled. The princes were shocked and suddenly became confident!  Everyone came forward to ask for battle, and Yuan Shao was also very moved. He immediately ordered the entire army to organize their tents and prepare to break camp.

    At this time, Yuan Shao asked Cao Ang again: "So Sun Wentai has already taken the lead in stationing in Luoyang?"

    Cao Ang nodded, and seeing that everyone was very concerned, he said loudly: "Exactly! At that time, we heard that Dong Zhuo was forcing the people to move to Chang'an, so we gathered all the elite troops and gave them to Uncle Wentai and asked him to rush to Luoyang.  Rescue the people. Uncle Yunjie stayed in the Mang Mountain area to reorganize the troops and serve as a backyard, while I led the army to Hulao Pass to meet the leader and his party. But I didn't expect that Lu Bu would take the initiative to abandon the pass and escape and launch a surprise attack on our camp!"

    Yuan Shaopi said to Yuan Shu with a smile: "Congratulations to the road, although Wentai has become a town, he is still dependent on you after all! Wentai has won a great victory, and you have provided him with food and grass supplies, which can be regarded as a commitment."  Great work!"

    In the past, Sun Jian brutally killed Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, and led his troops to join Yuan Shao, taking him as his master.  Yuan Shu was very proud and offered Sun Jian the title of general to break the captives, and provided logistical support to Sun Jian's troops.  Sun Jian's victory means that Yuan Shu's decision is correct.

    But now that Sun Jian is half in a state of insanity, and he has conquered Luoyang, his reputation is far and wide, but Yuan Shu has not made any achievements, which is really criticized.  In this way, Yuan Shu was very worried because his ministers were strong and his master was weak.  Now being ridiculed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was even more furious.

    Looking at the livid Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao felt secretly proud.  He smiled and praised Cao Ang again, and personally allocated a batch of supplies and sent people to Cao Ang's camp.

    In the afternoon, Yuan Shao and others led the troops to Luoyang, and happened to pass by Cao Cao.??'s camp.  Looking at the disabled soldiers in the camp and the numerous tombstones hurriedly erected outside the camp, the princes felt even more pity for Cao Ang, and the slight jealousy they had just aroused immediately dissipated.
