After Sun Jian saw that Lu Zhen wanted to burn the ship, he did not dare to let the ship dock.

Unable to reach the shore, the boat began to move down the river, heading east.

Sun Jian also led troops and maintained the military formation to move eastward.

Lu Zhen followed with his cavalry all night long.

The next day, Sun Jian ran eastward for twenty miles along the current.

Lu Zhen's cavalry followed them for twenty miles.

Sun Jian's army consisted of more than 3,000 men, almost all of them infantry. They were exhausted from moving all night.

Sun Jian also understood Lu Zhen’s intention:

"Lu Zhen wants to eat us while we are sleepy."

Sun Jian has not forgotten that the first time he fought with Lu Zhen, he was beaten by Lu Zhen after a long journey.

Now, he has repeated his old tricks.

Sun Jian simply refused to leave and let the infantry form formations on the spot and take turns to rest. However

, Lu Zhen's cavalry suddenly blew the charge horn.

Three thousand cavalry began to attack.

"Form a formation! Form a formation! Call for the ferry."

Sun Jian shouted an order.

But the ferry didn't arrive that fast, and Lu Zhen's cavalry had already rushed in front of him.

Lu Zhen still took the lead, rushing up to break the formation with the crossbow arrows.

Those shield soldiers who faced Lu Zhen's charge were all There was a psychological shadow, because they could not withstand his charge no matter what.

There was even a tacit understanding among Sun Jian's army: the only thing that could stop Lu Zhen's charge was the city wall!

Without any suspense, it collapsed.

Sun Jian took his injured son and his soldiers to the water's edge and boarded the first boat.

Behind him, three thousand soldiers were about to be crushed and killed. Nearly half of them were either killed or captured, and only a small half got on. The ship.

Moreover, more than a dozen warships were doused with kerosene and caught fire.

Some of Sun Jian's army were busy putting out the fire, some were busy hiding, and some were busy paddling.

It was so chaotic that it was almost impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

Sun Jian's army had already There was no time left to resist and they scrambled to escape.

In the end, only a few thousand people got on the boat and fled to the other side of the river.

But Lu Zhen had stopped chasing. He watched a dozen boats go away and said with a smile:

"Since the princes are not yet in internal strife, I wish you a helping hand."

Just now, Lu Zhen took advantage of the chaos and sent agents to sneak into Sun Jian's army.

At this time, Sun Jian had reached the other side, but there were less than a thousand people around him.

Sun Jian, who had suffered heavy losses, gritted his teeth and roared:

"Lu Zhen, you and I are at odds with each other!"

However, Lu Zhenjun's shout came over from the other side:

"Sun Jianjun has a jade seal!"

"Sun Jianjun has a jade seal!"

This shout spread to the ears of the garrison on the river bank.

The soldiers stationed on the bank here were the generals of the princes. When they heard the shout, they all looked at Sun Jian strangely.

"No wonder Lu Zhen chased them all day and night. It turned out that they got the jade seal"

"However, I haven’t heard that Dong Zhuo lost his jade seal."

"nonsense! If Dong Zhuo lost his jade seal, he would definitely not make it public, and would only let people investigate quietly."

"Lu Zhen probably got Dong Zhuo's secret order, so he came to pursue him."

"Seeing that he could no longer catch up with Sun Jian, he exposed the matter of Yuxi."

This news spread from ten to hundreds, and soon reached the ears of the princes in Hulao Pass.

Since Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang, Yuan Shao and other princes settled in Hulao Pass. Because Luoyang was burned, Hulao Pass There is still room to live in the pass.

Moreover, this crusade against Dong Zhuo raised (aefh) a lot of military supplies, which have not been eaten yet, so everyone gathered here to drink, eat meat and brag, and had a great time.

As a result, the news about Yuxi came, and everyone Not calm anymore.

Yuan Shao gathered all the princes and first asked Yuan Shu:

"Sun Jian is your subordinate, do you know about the jade seal?"

Yuan Shu naturally refused to admit it:

"This must be Lu Zhen's way of alienating us, there is no such thing as a jade seal."

Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shu and cursed: You must be evil, otherwise why would you send someone to notify Sun Jian and ask him to go directly south to Nanyang!

Bao Xin seemed to be heroic and said:

"Why is this so difficult? Let Sun Jian come over and ask. Liu

Dai agreed:

"That's right, Sun Jian was defeated anyway, let him come to Hulao Pass."

Yuan Shu didn't say anything. Just when he was thinking about how to refuse, Sun Jian's envoy arrived.

The envoy was a stupid young man. After being brought in, he shouted:

"Dong Zhuo's crime was exposed all over the world, and our righteous soldiers came together. Now that Dong Zhuo is retreating, why don't you pursue him?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"It's time for you gentlemen to drink and have fun. You can hand over your troops to my lord. My lord Sun Jian will attack Chang'an from the west and lead the thief Dong."

Although Yuan Shao and others were drinking and having fun and not trying to make progress, they did not tolerate preaching.

Yuan Shao said angrily:

"Come on, drag this man down and kill him."

The princes remained silent, but Cao Cao couldn't help but stood up and said:

"This person is right. Now that Dong Zhuo is retreating to the west, how can you just sit back and watch?!"

"It’s okay if you don’t go, just leave your troops to me and I’ll go hunt down Dong Zhuo!"

Now everyone was silent.

In fact, the princes came to attack Dong Zhuo just to join in the fun. They all had selfish motives and wanted to preserve their strength.

They didn't want to waste their military power and attack Dong Zhuo, who had many passes.

Seeing this, Cao Cao left the table angrily.

The envoy Sun Jian also followed Cao Cao.

After leaving, the envoy gave Cao Cao a letter

"Um? Lu Zhen wrote to me? Before Cao

Cao had time to look, he heard the messenger shouting:

"My lord Sun Jian intercepted the communication between Cao Cao and Lu Zhen!"

After saying that, the envoy galloped out of the gate.

But Cao Cao was stopped by Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao who came over and shouted:

"Meng De, let's take a look at the letter in your hand."

Cao Cao suddenly realized in his heart: That envoy is from Lu Zhen! []

This is his divorce tactic!.
