Chapter 137
Zhang Liao noticed that Luoyang was strange, and ordered the whole army to continue westward, heading for Hangu Pass.Li Xianzhong, Di Qing and others at the head of Luoyang City did not dare to pursue them, waiting for Liu Bian and others to arrive.

But half an hour later, the sound of galloping war horses was heard again under the city of Luoyang Dongmen.

"Is it Your Majesty who is here?" Di Qing shouted towards the tower.

"I am Yang Zaixing, who is in the city?" Yang Zaixing wanted to continue to chase west, but he didn't want the general in the city to treat Liu Bian with respect, so he couldn't help asking.

"Zaixing, I'm Xianzhong!" Li Xianzhong heard Yang Zaixing's voice on the city wall, and shouted to the city.

Li Xianzhong and Yang Zaixing were the first batch of military generals who took refuge in Liu Bian. They knew each other very well, and their relationship was no worse than that of Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi. Because of Yang Zaixing's voice, Li Xianzhong seemed very excited.

"Xianzhong? Are you Xianzhong? Your Majesty is Xianzhong in Luoyang City!" Yang Zaixing also recognized Li Xianzhong's voice and shouted excitedly.

On the city wall, Li Xianzhong said to Lin Renzhao, Di Qing and the others with joy on his face, "Your Majesty is right. Follow me out of the city to welcome Your Majesty."

"So let's meet His Majesty as soon as possible!"

Lin Renzhao and other generals quickly came down to the city to welcome Liu Bian.

And Liu Bian in the city heard Yang Zaixing's call, his first reaction was not excitement, but full of doubts.How could Li Xianzhong be in Luoyang?Even if Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Xiliang, it only took two days. How could Li Xianzhong move so fast?It even seems to be in control of Luoyang.

Could it be that Dong Zhuo retreated the whole army and gave up Luoyang, but with Li Ru's character, how could he let himself get Luoyang so easily?But seeing that Luoyang was safe and sound, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bian originally thought that Zhang Liao's army would enter Luoyang and wait for the armies of the princes to encircle Luoyang together.But he didn't think it was Li Xianzhong on the city wall.

Luoyang Liu Bian has always wanted to get it. From a strategic point of view, Luoyang is in danger in Guanzhong. If Luoyang is firmly established, it is equivalent to controlling the rich and prosperous land in Guanzhong, and it is difficult for the enemy to attack.

And from Luoyang, you can attack Jizhou to the east, and you can enter Yuzhou, Nanyang, Jingzhou and other places to the south.With millions of people, it can be said that it is the easiest site to develop.

The capitals of several countries in later generations, such as Nanjing, Beijing and other places, are far inferior to the current Luoyang in terms of strategy, and even more so in terms of economic prosperity.

From the time the feudal lords sought Dong, Liu Bian was worried that Dong Zhuo would move his capital, and that Luoyang would be burned down.So Li Xianzhong and others were ordered to station troops in the Yellow River, and to come to rescue whenever there was a change in Luoyang.In fact, Liu Bian didn't have much to do with Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, he could only try his best to remedy it, and the soldiers and horses left by Li Xianzhong and others on the bank of the Yellow River were Liu Bian's backup.Unexpectedly, there was such a big surprise.

"Crench!"

The city gate opened slowly, Li Xianzhong, Lin Renzhao, and Xia Houyuan walked side by side, followed by Di Qing and Lin Chong.After five people, the soldiers held their torches high.

When Liu Bian saw Li Xianzhong and others coming, he dismounted from his horse. Seeing that Luoyang City had already been captured, all the princes obviously did not intend to pursue them any further.

"My minister has seen His Majesty!" Li Xianzhong, Lin Renzhao, and Xia Houyuan said excitedly.

"Criminal Di Qing has seen His Majesty! Grassman Lin Chong has seen His Majesty!" Behind Li Xianzhong, Di Qing and Lin Chong also bowed to Liu Bian.

"Farewell for half a year, hard work for the three lovers!" Liu Bian held the hands of the three, helped them up, and exchanged pleasantries.

"Han Chen is a loyal and good man of the Han family. It is a matter of duty in the industry to bow down to Dong Zhuo. How can he be a criminal general?" Liu Bian walked towards Di Qing and helped him up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Di Qing said excitedly.

"This is?" Liu Bian helped Di Qing up and looked at Lin Chong. Liu Bian was very excited when he heard Lin Chong introduce himself.But Liu Bian couldn't be too exaggerated, and asked knowingly.

"This is the former coach of the Forbidden Army, Lin Chong, nicknamed Leopard Head. It is thanks to his help that a certain family can stabilize Luoyang this time!" Xiahou Dun explained next to him.

"Oh? It turns out that he is also loyal to the Han family. When we come here this time, I will definitely reward you for your merits!" Liu Bian first promised a blank check.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Chong was overjoyed to hear this.

"Miaocai, what's going on here? Why are you in Luoyang, where is Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao also walked up and asked Xia Houyuan in doubt.

All the other princes came forward, looking at Li Xianzhong and the others with surprise on their faces.

"Your Majesty, Elder Brother, Dong Zhuo has brought the false emperor Liu Xie to move the capital to Chang'an!" Xia Houyuan said angrily.

"What, Dong Zhuo actually moved the capital?"

"Hateful, let that guy run away!"

"How can Dong Zhuo and his virtue dare to move the capital?" Behind Liu Bian, all the princes discussed one after another.

"What's going on? How did you end up in Luoyang?" Liu Bian asked out his doubts.

"Your Majesty's journey is tiring. It's a long story at this time. Why don't you go to the city first and tell Your Majesty one by one!" Li Xianzhong said with concern when he saw Liu Bian's tired face.

"What about Zhang Liao? You saw the Xiliang army earlier?" Liu Bian was not in a hurry to rest, and asked the Xiliang army's whereabouts.

"That Zhang Liao acted cautiously. Before he led the army to enter the city, the minister wanted to deceive him into the city. Waiting for His Majesty to arrive, he should gather inside and outside to wipe him out. Unfortunately, he was very vigilant and felt that something was wrong, so he continued to go west. It is!" Li Xianzhong explained.

"Your Majesty, the Xiliang thieves are fleeing to the west, and I think we should continue to pursue them!" Cao Cao immediately cupped his hands behind Liu Bian.

As soon as Cao Cao said this, some princes were immediately unhappy.

"Cao Mengde, what are you worried about? It's getting late at this time, and it's a dangerous place to the west. If there is an ambush, what should I do?"

"My cavalry is already exhausted, but they can't catch up!"

"It's dark now, and I'm worried about an ambush. If Your Majesty makes a mistake, I can't afford it!" Gongsun Zan also shook his head and rejected Cao Cao's proposal.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to pursue, not only can you break through the Hangu Pass, but you can also wipe out the tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, and you can also destroy Dong Zhuo's strength!" Cao Cao said, looking at Liu Bian.

"That Zhang Liao Gaoshun is not Yi Yi's generation, I don't think he should attack rashly!" Liu Bian shook his head.

When Cao Cao heard what Liu Bian said, he thought it was Liu Bian's refusal. He had never heard of Zhang Liao at all. How did he know how powerful Zhang Liao was?Cao Cao felt that the Xiliang army was just a defeated army. If they took advantage of the victory and pursued it, they would surely win a complete victory.

Cao Cao disapproved of Zhang Liao, thinking that Xiliang was just a group of defeated troops, who could pursue them with a few thousand troops, so he said, "The generals in Xiliang are all incompetent. I would like to lead Qingqi in pursuit."

Since ancient times, with the victorious army, chasing the defeated army, and chasing with very few troops, can win the victory. Cao Cao's words are not from the dragon's lair.It's not that Liu Bian didn't want to pursue him, he was worried about an ambush, and secondly, the princes didn't want to pursue him.

"Your Majesty, there are still [-] cavalrymen in Luoyang City, and I am willing to follow my brother to hunt down Xiliang cavalrymen!" Xia Houyuan also asked for a fight.He even wanted to attack Dong Zhuo before.Naturally, he will not give up this opportunity now.

"Your Majesty, I would also like to pursue the Xiliang bandits." After Liu Bian died, Xiahou Dun also asked for a fight.

Seeing Cao Cao Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun brothers asking for a fight, Liu Bian couldn't bear to chill their hearts, so he nodded and said: "Well, I still have five thousand cavalry on my side, plus the eight thousand cavalry in Luoyang City, I will leave it to you to go after them." Xiliang thieves, when the sky is bright, I will lead the army to meet you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao said happily.

"However, Zhang Liao, you must not underestimate him. You must be careful along the way, and you must not take it lightly!" Liu Bian was still worried and urged.

Although Cao Cao didn't know why, but Liu Bian had promoted Lin Renzhao and Fan Zhongyan successively in the past year. Cao Cao saw the abilities of these people. Keep the advice in mind.

Liu Bian glanced at the generals around him again, and to Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi said: "I am afraid that Meng De will be in danger, so I can only work hard for the two generals to accompany Meng De to pursue them."

Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi were warlike people. After listening to Liu Bian's words, they said happily, "Your Majesty is serious. The general will never get what he wants. Why bother!"

"With two generals walking together, we will definitely win a big victory!" Cao Cao said happily.

After the matter was agreed, Cao Cao immediately led [-] cavalry to continue chasing the Xiliang soldiers.And Liu Bian led other soldiers and horses to advance to Luoyang to rest, and to continue the pursuit tomorrow morning.
