The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 12
Luoyang City, Taishi Mansion.

Wang Yun ran back to Luoyang with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to meet Dong Zhuo.

"Allow to see the Grand Master!"

Dong Zhuo knew something was wrong when he saw Wang Yun's disheveled clothes, and shouted in a deep voice, "Situ, why do you look like this?"

Wang Yun bowed to the ground and said in shame: "General Yun and General Zhang Xian led the army to Hulao Pass to reward the army. I didn't expect that just after arriving near Gong County, they were kidnapped by thieves. General Zhang Xian was defeated and beheaded, and all the soldiers fled in all directions. Yun has no strength to restrain a chicken and is ignorant of war, so he had to abandon his belongings and flee back to Luoyang with a few followers, asking the grand master to punish him..."

Snapped!
Dong Zhuo's complexion changed drastically, he slammed the table, and shouted: "What a bold bandit, dare to hijack the imperial military resources, how unreasonable! Situ, please forgive me, you are not to blame for this matter, Zhang Xian is useless to cause this defeat, replace me Send troops to conquer and avenge Situ!"

"Qi, Qi report to the grand master, when the villain was facing General Zhang Xian, he accidentally found a man who looked exactly like King Hongnong..."

A general who came back with Wang Yun murmured, Wang Yun was taken aback, he did not expect that someone in the army recognized His Highness!

"Xu Qing, what are you talking about? See a person who looks exactly like King Hongnong?"

Dong Zhuo's expression changed drastically, he immediately stood up from his seat, and shouted sharply.

Xu Qing shrunk his neck in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Report to the grand master, the last general followed the grand master as his personal guard, met Hongnong Wang several times, and vaguely remembered that there were two robbers at that time, one of them He is tall and has a ferocious face; the other one is a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome face. If the general is not mistaken, he must be King Hongnong. !"

Dong Zhuo turned his face, looked at Wang Yun, and shouted in a deep voice: "Wang Situ, what do you say? Did you find a clue?"

Wang Yun's heart beat endlessly, and he said with a wry smile: "Back to Grand Master, Yun was at the back of the convoy at that time, more than two hundred steps away from the battlefield, and besides, he was over sixty years old, and his old eyes were dim. It's really hard to see clearly..."

Dong Zhuo's eyes shone brightly. He only lost a little luggage, which was second to none. However, if King Hongnong really escaped from Luoyang City, it would be really troublesome. There are many people following him!

Immediately send someone to capture it?

Absolutely not!

After all, I have already claimed that King Hongnong died in the Yong'an Palace fire, and now I want to send people to arrest him, which will cause criticism from all over the world!
"Wenhe, in your opinion, how should I raise money?"

Dong Zhuo turned around and asked a middle-aged scribe.

Jia Xu bowed and said, "My lord, if you go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles. I think you should send your confidant generals and lead a force to search around Gong County. Once you find any traces of King Hongnong, kill them immediately!"

Dong Zhuo came back to his senses and shouted: "Zhang Xiu listens to the order; I order you to lead five thousand elites to search near Gong County. Once you find the trace of King Hongnong, you will be killed without mercy!"

"The end will be ordered!"

Wang Yun secretly groaned in his heart, although in this way, his suspicions were completely cleared, but there is no doubt that His Highness will fall into a great passive state, once Fan Chou finds his trace, he will undoubtedly die!However, no matter what happens now, it is useless, no one knows where His Highness has gone now!
However, before the crowd dispersed, Zhang Ji, the general of the Zhonglang, had already walked in quickly!
"Report to the Grand Master that General Hua Xiong and Li Su guarded the Sishui Pass and started a war with the princes outside the pass. General Hua Xiong was killed by Gongsun Zan's subordinates. Sishui Pass was tight. General Li Su sent a letter to ask the Grand Master for emergency Send troops to help!"

Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth angrily, and said in a hateful voice: "Damn it, if I knew today, I should have killed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Luoyang City, and let the tiger go back to the mountain. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, what should we do?"

Lv Bu said in a deep voice: "Father, rest assured, there is a child here, and the eighteen princes are nothing more than mobs, watch the child capture Yuan Shao alive for you, and present it to the foster father!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and laughed and said, "Haha, Fengxian is here, so I don't have to worry about it!" The order was ordered to Li Jue and Guo Si to lead 15 elite troops to Sishuiguan to help in the battle. Fengxian, Zhang Ji, and Xu Rong followed me to lead [-] troops Go to Hulao Pass to meet the enemy!"

Dong Zhuo personally led the army to go out, leaving only Fan Chou to go to Gong County to encircle and suppress Liu Xiao, but unexpectedly it became the most important step in Liu Xiao's rise!
Not to mention that Dong Zhuo led the army to go out, but also that Fan Chou came all the way to Gong County with [-] elite soldiers, looking for the traces of Liu Xiao and his ministers. Naturally, he couldn't hide the news. Soon, someone spread the news to Gong County!

"My lord, there is a Xiliang army hunting down bandits everywhere. According to their description, it is the lord and my ministers. I'm afraid they will enter Gong County in a short time!"

Cheng Yaojin hurried to the county government office and reported to Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "About how many troops? Which general will lead the troops?"

"The commander of the army is Jianzhong General Xuanwei Marquis Zhang Xiu, commanding more than [-] infantry and cavalry, and now it is only a hundred miles away from the county..."

Zhang Xiu!

Liu Xiao was startled, Dong Zhuo's men were like a cloud of powerful generals and rain of counselors, but talents who can surpass Zhang Xiu are definitely rare!This kid was almost picked by Cao Cao, and Dian Wei died in his hands!

"My lord, the soldiers from Xiliang are coming, and it won't be long before we know where we are. The Xiliang army is brave, and Gong County is a tiny place, so they are definitely not the opponents of Xiliang soldiers..."

Cheng Yaojin is no better than Dian Wei, Dian Wei is just a stupid, black and rough high-level thug, Cheng Yaojin is a real famous player, although his skill is not as good as Dian Wei's, but his ideas are more than ten times better than Dian Wei's!
Liu Xiao pulled the map and studied it carefully. After a long while, he pondered: "Since Xiliang soldiers are here, I will send them here!"

"Zhijie, look, Xiliang soldiers came from Luoyang, crossed Yanshi, and entered Gong County. Thirty miles away from Gong County, the Yiluo River runs through the whole area. The ditch, the official road passes through, and there are hills on both sides, the terrain is narrow, once an ambush is set up here, no matter how many Xiliang soldiers come, they will all hate it!"

"My lord, are you going to ambush the Xiliang army? There are more than [-] elites. We don't have any elites at hand. The [-] yellow scarves that have just been conquered and the [-] recruits have never been beaten. Once we fight, even if we occupy a favorable location, we will have little chance of winning!"

Cheng Yaojin said in surprise.

Liu Xiao sneered and said, "It's just five thousand Xiliang elites. I regard them as chickens and dogs. They were defeated in one battle! Zhijie! You personally led four hundred elites to ambush on the north side of Yehugou. Dian Wei, you led four hundred Jing Zhuang is lying in ambush on the south side of the Yehugou. Now is the end of the cold winter. The sky is dry and the things are dry. Bring me more sulfur and flame nitrate, tung oil and pine oil, and bow and arrow rockets. Once the Xiliang soldiers enter the Yehugou, give me fire protection Burning mountains, even if there are tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, they will never be able to stop me, Liu Xiao, from making a fire! Remember, Xiliang soldiers must be behind the army. We can only move forward!"

"Yes! Lord!"

Cheng Yaojin's heart was shocked, and he quickly agreed.

"Gao Chong, follow me and lead two hundred elites to station outside Yehugou, waiting for Zhang Xiu's defeated army to come out. We will wait here for work and capture Zhang Xiu alive!"

Liu Xiao stood up and walked outside first!

Two days later, Zhang Xiu finally crossed the Yiluo River with five thousand elites. He also got some news these days. There was once such a pair of master and servant who subdued a black-faced man at the same time, defeated the Yellow Turban Army outside Gong County, and now they have controlled Gong County!
After getting the news, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be negligent, and drove the army straight to Gong County. As long as he killed King Hongnong, it would be his first achievement. He didn't dare to kill the emperor, but what was he afraid of when he killed a deposed emperor?Anyway, it has already become a waste, just as my own step up!
