Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 143 The Emperor Is Still Lost
Liu Ce led Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Ju Yi to fight with Xu Rong and Hua Xiong's [-] soldiers for three hours.

Liu Ce took the lead bravely, Zhang Feiyong was the champion of the three armies, Zhao Yun was as powerful as a rainbow, Dian Wei defeated hundreds of people, Ju Yi gave up his life and forgot to die...

At the cost of [-] soldiers, they forced Xu Rong and Hua Xiong to retreat [-] li with their troops.

But Xu Rong did not escape. He still scouted around Liu Ce's troops, trying to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack again.

Xu Rong knew very well that superiority in military strength was the only thing the Xiliang Army could rely on now.

If the strength of the troops is equal, I am afraid that I have already become the opponent's prisoner.

Liu Ce, who was covered in blood, rode on the horse and looked coldly at the Tanma moving around in the distance.

"This Xu Rong is really an old fox! He clearly has the advantage in numbers, but he played guerrilla warfare with us!"

After hearing this, Zhang Fei rode over and shook Zhang Ba Snake Spear and said.

"Brother, why don't you help second brother! Let me guard him here, if he dares to come, I will stab him to death with a spear!"

After Zhao Yun heard Zhang Fei's words, he immediately said the same thing.

"My lord, we can't spend any more time with Xu Rong. It's better to get rid of them as soon as possible and join General Guan."

After hearing this, Dian Wei said with a cold snort.

"What are you afraid of? I will stay and guard with the third master. If you are afraid, you go first..."

Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.

"Afraid? I, Zhao Yun, don't know how to write fear! But now is really not the time to fight!"

"We have won three hours for General Guan, which is enough!"

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Ju Yi clasped his fists at Liu Ce and said.

"My lord, the general thinks General Zhao is right!"

After Dian Wei heard this, he curled his lips and muttered.

"Counseling is counseling, and there are so many excuses!"

Zhao Yun didn't bother to argue with Dian Wei, but looked at Liu Ce hopefully.

In fact, Liu Ce already had the intention to quit at this time.

They stayed here to buy Guan Yu time.

But what he never expected was that they blocked only Dong Zhuo's team, and it was a difficult team like Xu Rong.

Liu Ce wanted to withdraw his troops two hours ago, but he couldn't.

When they were ready to fight recklessly, Xu Rong would stop losses in time and withdraw decisively.

When they were about to withdraw, Xu Rong would rush to pester them again.

Xu Rong was like a piece of dog skin plaster, which stuck to people and could not be thrown out.

"Break it into pieces, let's withdraw first!"

When Liu Ce said this helplessly, everyone was stunned.

"Break... into pieces?"

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Ce with a puzzled expression and repeated.

Liu Ce reined in his horse and said in Xiaopingjin's direction.

"It's too late for us to go find Guan Yu again at this time, the battle over there should have already been decided!"

"So, go back to Luoyang! I believe that the second brother will go back to Luoyang to find us no matter whether he succeeds or not..."

Liu Ce actually received the news from Hua Mulan half an hour ago.

Dong Zhuo's army arrived before Guan Yu, and both Liu Bian and Liu Xie were captured by Dong Zhuo.

Guan Yu led the army first and then arrived, although he was very brave personally.

But in the end, he only cooperated with Lu Zhi and rescued Queen Mother He and some officials.

Min Gong stayed with Liu Bian and Liu Xie with his people, and now he is guarding them to Luoyang with him.

"Retreat separately! Meet in Luoyang!"

As soon as Liu Ce gave an order, he immediately rode his horse and chose a direction to go first.

Seeing this, Dian Wei quickly called dozens of soldiers to catch up, and then Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ju Yi each took dozens of people and left separately.

When Xu Rong and Hua Xiong received the news, they also felt a sudden headache.

If we divide our forces to pursue it, the gains outweigh the losses.

But if you don't go after him, you're afraid that they will ruin Dong Zhuo's affairs.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Dong Zhuo to send someone to deliver the news.

"Don't worry about them, go to Luoyang!"

After Xu Rong gave an order, Hua Xiong led the troops to turn around and head towards Luoyang.

When Liu Ce returned to Luoyang, thick smoke was already billowing over the entire Luoyang.

The war left parts of this bustling city dilapidated.

When Yuan Kui, Wang Yun, Yuan Shao and others learned of Liu Ce's return, they quickly brought people to greet him.

But after seeing his lonely expression and the blood-stained soldiers behind him, everyone fell silent.

Because other soldiers and horses who went out of the city to look for them also returned in the same way.

Yuan Shao is like this, Cao Cao is like this, except for Lu Zhi and Min Gong, most of the soldiers have returned.

Liu Ce ordered people to send the wounded soldiers back for treatment, while he himself stayed at the head of the west gate of Luoyang.

Before evening, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ju Yi also arrived one after another.

After night, Guan Yu and Lu Zhi returned to the city to protect Empress Dowager He.

When everyone learned that it was Dong Zhuo who had kidnapped the Emperor and Queen Chen Liu, the entire court ministers panicked.

Someone suggested to gather nearby troops to fight, someone suggested to send envoys to make peace, and someone suggested to open the city gate and invite Dong Zhuo to take over Luoyang.

In Luoyang City, somewhere in the palace's side hall.

All the ministers were discussing matters here, and the scene was full of excitement.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other members of the younger faction resolutely opposed letting Dong Zhuo into the city, and Yuan Shu even strongly suggested that the imperial court send troops to conquer Dong Zhuo.

Only Liu Ce has been watching coldly, not participating in any debate at all.

Seeing this, Cao Cao slowly withdrew from the crowd, walked quickly to Liu Ce's place by the window and said.

"General Liu, everyone is discussing how to rescue the emperor, why hasn't the general said a word?"

Liu Ce turned his head and glanced at Cao Cao, then said with a slight smile.

"Did I say it worked? Did what you guys said work?"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a slight frown.

"The general's words are wrong. As Hanchen, we should do our best..."

Without waiting for Cao Cao to finish speaking, Liu Ce turned his head and continued to look at the moon.

"What's the use of talking big, just do it if you have the ability!"

Cao Cao was so choked that he almost didn't bring it up!

Cao Cao didn't know why, although he didn't have much contact with Liu Ce.

But every time I see him, there will always be a feeling of hatred for taking my wife and amputating my foot!

It felt as if Liu Ce had robbed many important people in his life.

Yuan Shu actually felt this way too, so when Liu Ce yelled at Cao Cao, Yuan Shu suddenly came over to help.

"Liu Yiyun! When is this, are you still in the mood to talk nonsense? The current emperor is in trouble, and King Chen Liu is being robbed, but..."

Liu Ce didn't wait for Yuan Shu to finish speaking, turned around and glanced at him and said directly.

"So you guys have a lot of arguing here, and the matter can be resolved?"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was choked and froze in place.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao hurried over to help, but before he could speak, Liu Ce scolded him.

"Wait a minute, everyone understands the truth, can you talk about something practical?"

Yuan Shao opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he still didn't say a word in the end.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Ce with resentment, sneered and said slowly.

"According to General Liu, you already have a good idea? Then you should talk about something practical!"
