Chapter 157 Picking up Watermelon and Losing Sesame Seeds
Chapter 157 Picking up Watermelon and Losing Sesame Seeds
"Le Jin, you lead an army of [-] in pursuit, don't take the initiative to attack."

"The last general takes orders!"

Looking at the army that disappeared from sight, defeated Lu Bu, and killed more than two thousand Bingzhou wolf riders, Xia Houyuan was very proud!

Although many soldiers were lost, at least Xudu and the emperor Liu Xie were saved.

Complacent Xia Houyuan immediately decided to go to the palace to "report the good news"!
Due to the fierce battle just now, Xia Houyuan didn't know about the fire in the palace.

When he came to the palace gate in a hurry, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army whose faces were covered with black smoke, Xia Houyuan subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

"Reporting to General Xiahou, the palace caught fire just now, and we just put it out."

With a click, Xia Houyuan was startled, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

"Where is the Son of Heaven?" Xia Houyuan asked.

"Eunuch Wei just sent someone to inquire."

"Eunuch Wei? Not good!"

For this Eunuch Wei, Xia Houyuan had a little impression, but it was brought into the palace by Wang Yue some time ago.

Pushing away the Imperial Guard soldiers in front of him with one hand, Xia Houyuan led his subordinates hurriedly towards the emperor Liu Xie's bedroom.

Before arriving at the emperor's bedroom, a strong smell of blood came over his face.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Xia Houyuan yelled loudly. If something happened to the emperor, it would be hard to explain.

Rushing into the dormitory in a hurry, the first thing that caught his eyes was the corpses lying all over the floor.Taking a closer look, almost all of them were eunuchs or maids serving the emperor.

"The murderer is skilled in martial arts, and his throat is sealed with blood." Xia Houyuan mumbled after checking for a while.

"General, no trace of the Son of Heaven has been found."

Now things are very clear, except for Wang Yue, no one else can have such skills.

"Send a letter to my lord, saying that the Son of Heaven was taken away by Wang Yue." Xia Houyuan said in a deep voice.

In Luoyang City, it has been three days since Meng Chen arrived here, and the people in the city began to move westward under the mobilization of the Xiliang Army.

The war was imminent, and Meng Chen couldn't bear the continued suffering of these people, so he waved his hand and began to relocate all the people.

"Report, Lu Bu defeated Xudu, and the emperor has been rescued."

Although the words of the scouts were not many, they brought the information Meng Chen wanted most.

"Brother Cunxiao, can Hulao pass be taken down with one blow?" Meng Chen squinted his eyes and asked.

"Lord, rest assured, everything is ready."

"Okay, I will come to Hulao Pass tomorrow in person."

"Here!"

Now that Wang Yue and others have rescued the emperor, Meng Chen has no way out!The matter of coercing the emperor to order the princes will basically become a foregone conclusion.

"Ding, the mission of Yidaizhao has been updated, protect the emperor and arrive in Chang'an within one month."

"Complete the task, the host will get a chance to draw a lottery, if the task fails, the host will be destroyed humanitarianly!"

The loli voice sounded in his mind, and Meng Chen was a little speechless, knowing the difficulty of this mission without even thinking about it.

The definition of intact makes Meng Chen very distressed!

"System intact including clothing?"

……

"The Son of Heaven cannot be injured!" After a long time, the system gave a further explanation.

Meng Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately no clothes were included, otherwise the difficulty of this task would be too great.

That day and night, Li Cunxiao personally led his guards to raid Hulao Pass.However, there were not many Cao troops staying here, so the whole process was extremely smooth, and not even one was left alive.

When Mengchen arrived, the Hulao Pass had already been replaced with the Mengzi Shuaiqi.

"My lord, this is the head of General Cao Li Dian." Li Cunxiao presented the head of the enemy general as soon as he saw Meng Chen.

"Glorious burial!"

"Here!"

Meng Chen didn't know much about Li Dian, except for the arcade games he played when he was a child.

But Li Dian was able to die at the hands of Li Cunxiao, it can only be said that he was not lucky enough.

Guo Jia raided Hulao Pass and killed Song Xian, and Meng Chen killed Li Dian. This battle has only just begun, but it is destined that there will be more generals who will die in the long river of history.

"Is there any news about Cao Jun?"

"Guo Jia led an army to ambush this place. This is the only way for Lu Bu to pass." Li Cunxiao pointed to a valley on the map, but he didn't continue to speak.

"Saving the Son of Heaven is the first priority!" Meng Chen frowned and issued the general order.

From a personal point of view, Mengchen didn't want Lu Bu to die in battle, but considering the overall situation, Lu Bu was no longer of much use value.

News has already come from Bingzhou that Meng Yan led one hundred thousand Qin elites and began to go south. Since Bingzhou's troops were empty, Meng Yan did not encounter resistance.

All the land in Bingzhou north of Jinyang fell into the hands of Mengchen.But considering the special nature of Jinyang, Meng Yan did not launch an attack for the time being, but quietly waited for the opportunity.

As for the Black Mountain Army, under Zhao Yun's lobbying, Zhang Yan chose to join Meng Chen without hesitation, but compared with Yuan Shao's actions, the Black Mountain Army was still a step behind.

Huguan has fallen into Yuan Shao's hands, and Gao Lan hastily marched towards Jinyang.

Lu Bu, a pawn, not only lost its use value in Meng Chen's view, but also Yuan Shao.

It's a pity that Lu Bu, who is a pawn, still doesn't know his situation.

It is Lu Bu's nature to see profit and forget righteousness, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu ruined his life.

The good thing is that there are still three thousand traps led by Gao Shun in Jinyang City. It is not so easy for Gao Lan to break through the city.

And Meng Chen, the oriole, has already planned everything.

When Jinyang City is in danger, Mengyan's army will appear in time to save Lu Bu's family from danger.

In this way, it became logical to recruit Lu Bu's subordinates!
After the defeat of Xudu, Lu Bu ran all the way north, not only because there were pursuers behind him, but also because the food and grass he brought were almost exhausted.

"My lord, Le Jin has led more than ten thousand troops to follow behind, and the general is worried..." Zhang Liao didn't say the following words.

Now that the matter has come to this point, everything is already clear, and Cao Cao has long known about this trip to Xudu.

"Wen Yuan, lead 1000 troops to Hulao Pass first, I would have worried that Cao Cao would still have a backup."

"The lord goes first, and the last will be the last."

"Stop arguing, the matter is settled like this!" Lu Bu snorted coldly, and Zhang Liao stopped talking.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Lu Bu's actions. If Le Jin knew that Zhang Liao was behind him, he would definitely attack with all his strength.

But if Lu Bu personally holds the line, Le Jin will have to weigh it up.

The general order was issued, and Zhang Liao led a thousand elites to accelerate away. Hulao Pass is the last hope. If Hulao Pass is lost, not only will the army be cut off, but even the hope of survival will be extremely slim.

However, even if Lu Bu was defeated, Xia Houyuan could be said to have picked up the watermelon and lost the sesame seeds this time. The rescue of the emperor must have dealt a heavy blow to Cao Cao.
