"So what did you find out from the book?" Luo Chen asked eagerly. He seemed to be unable to understand the crooked seal script or earlier fonts, so he asked Cai Yong directly.

"Have you ever thought about making the most of your supernatural abilities?" Cai Yong asked rhetorically.

Luochen was silent, he knew what Cai Yong was talking about, he really thought about it. Since his blood can make people surrender, is it still hard to beat the country? Put his blood directly in the water source, and countless people will easily surrender to him! Where is the army camping and dripping blood in their drinking water, the whole army surrenders to him! Is he still trying his best to implement the so-called government military system? Are you still trying your best to get gunpowder? If his blood was accurately put into the drinking water of the princes and generals, wouldn't the world be directly settled!

However, Luochen did not dare to do something that violated the laws of nature. If there is chaos, what if there is a serious disorder? Luochen's large-scale blood injection ended after it was poured into thousands of forbidden troops. At that time, Luochen was in desperate need of protection and had to do it. After that, Luo Chen took a firm footing and used blood a few times, all of which were used on the captured generals, with minimal impact.

"I thought about it..." Luochen said sincerely, "but this kind of practice is extremely contrary to the laws of nature, so I didn't do it."

Then Cai Yong nodded happily: "That's great, you did the right thing!" Cai Yong stood up: "Everything is born with qi, and everything has a reason. The sum of these principles is Tai Chi. Occasionally condensed yin and yang qi will be born with different people, and these accidents will not affect Tai Chi. If foreign people use their special abilities to frequently intervene in the changes of heaven and earth, the principle of all things, the principles and laws of all things will be disordered and run randomly, and Taiji will be disordered. , then the world is in danger, and I am afraid that it will be put into a situation of no redemption..."

Luo Chen was frightened for a while in his heart, but he was quite lucky.

"There is a limit to everything..." Cai Yong concluded, "If you go to extremes because of greed and destroy the principles of all things, you will also harm yourself."

"For hundreds of years, a different person will be born, which may be the blessing of the world, or it may make the world chaotic and retrograde, but the law of heaven does not work!" Cai Yong said with emotion, "Fortunately, Prime Minister Luo is a self-control and rational person, and the world is very fortunate. The world is very fortunate!"

"Live up to the teachings of Mr...." Luo Chen clasped his fists.

"I don't belong to this era... How can I go back?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask the most. In this era, he has made great achievements and made great achievements, which does not mean that he does not miss that comfortable library and stable home!

Cai Yong looked embarrassed: "This question is too puzzling, I haven't figured it out yet... Maybe to a certain extent, the way out will appear, and the answer will be self-evident..." Cai Yong paced around the room, "Is the answer going to be? Will it be in these two volumes? I haven't found it yet..."

"Oh..." Luo Chen was a little disappointed, could he never be able to return home.0

"Luochen," Cai Yong's voice was very old: "I may lose my life at any time... I will definitely study these two volumes carefully, maybe I will find the answer, but maybe I will die before I finish them. , the lower volume must be placed in Longzhou, the upper volume... when you come and take it, I will put it on the top of the secret room..."

"Understood." Luo Chen nodded.

"Okay, then I can rest assured..." Cai Yong grabbed Luo Chen's hand: "Before I died, I still had a selfish desire to see my daughter... Please, Prime Minister Luo..." Cai Yong said with tears like rain. "Don't worry, sir, don't worry..." Luo Chen said firmly.

"You brought an entourage?" Cai Yong looked at Yan Qing behind Luo Chen.

"yes". Dust Road.

"It's reckless! It's more reckless than the first time I saw me! Stay here for the night, and go back tomorrow. It's not absolutely safe. Your whereabouts are likely to be known, and then it will be dangerous!" Cai Yong hurriedly urged Luo Chen to go back.

After the question was over, the dust didn't stop. After a night of silence, I found a small boat the next day, Yan Qing shook the scull, slowly left Longzhou, and went to 5.2 on the other side of the Yellow River. The two military horses were also well-trained. After eating grass, they waited for their masters by the Yellow River.

Luochen and Yanqing left across the horse. At this time, a day had passed, and it was relatively smooth. Luochen speculated that Ma Chao had already fought fiercely with the enemy near Hongnong. Perhaps the fierce battle was still going on, or Ma Chao had already led people to retreat to Tongguan.

Luochen and Yanqing hurried for dozens of miles, and from a distance they saw Hongnong fireworks soaring into the sky. The smoke and dust seemed to have been floating for a long time. "What's going on here!" Yan Qing was a little nervous, "Who set a fire in Hongnong! I don't know if my soldiers and horses are in danger!"

Luochen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, our army is absolutely safe, but Cao's army..." Luochen didn't say any further, but whipped his whip and hurried towards Tongguan. .

Chapter 46: Hong Nong

Why is Luo Chen confident and not nervous? It turned out that everything was in his arrangement. This is about Ma Chao.

That Ma Chao got a secret plan, and without hesitation, immediately ordered the army to evacuate. The fallen horses were mixed with cavalry and charioteers, and they moved faster. Especially, there were about 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry, which accounted for half of the troops dispatched by Luochen. Cao Hong in the city was overjoyed when he saw it. He had already received a report that Cao Cao's army was very close to Luoyang and would arrive soon. "Organize the cavalry and infantry in the city immediately, and go out to pursue them!" Cao Hong ordered.

Then Cao Hong watched the fallen army retreat in an orderly manner in front, and he followed behind to shoot arrows, etc. He did not dare to get too close. If the fallen army turned around and charged him with cavalry, his soldiers would be vulnerable. . Therefore, Cao Hong felt that it was a pity not to chase, and he did not dare to come close to the chase. If there is a situation, it is best to immediately put the car into a defensive position and form a phalanx strategy to resist the impact of the cavalry. Therefore, Cao Hong's pursuit was basically ineffective, and he just followed behind the fallen army's ass, hoping that Cao Cao's army would rush over. 10

"Report! There is a situation on the side!" Suddenly a sergeant shouted in a panic. Cao Hong saw the dust billowing from the south of the army. There should be 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry soldiers, and they were rushing towards him.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Cao Hong scolded, "Stop advancing! The chariots form a phalanx, and the infantry prepares behind the chariots! Prepare the bowmen! The cavalry quickly dismount!" It turned out that Cao Hong did not dare to use cavalry Fighting the enemy directly, because he still knows the gap between his own cavalry and the Guanzhong iron cavalry, a head-on confrontation will obviously wipe out all the cavalry he has worked so hard to organize, which will obviously make him suffer a big loss.

The enemy is getting closer, and the bowman has already pulled the strings, and he can fire arrows with just one command.

"General Xiahou's cavalry is here!" the leading cavalry shouted, "Which part do you belong to!" The leading cavalry carried the banner and wrote the word "Xiahou". . The cavalry rushed to the 100-meter square in the square, and when he saw that the shining arrows were all aimed at him, he couldn't help but let out a strange cry.

Before Cao Hong could come and explain, the soldier disappeared without a trace. A crossbowman next to Cao Hong let out an arrow because he was too nervous, but missed. "Bastard!" Cao Hong kicked him.

Cao Hong mounted the horse himself, and flew over with a few entourage, and met Xiahou Dun, who came to visit the situation in person. "It's you!" Xiahou Dun breathed a sigh of relief and said gruffly.

Cao Hong also breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that you went to arrest Xu Shu? Have you caught it?"

"Don't mention it! I met Ma Dai on the way, and then I met Huang Zhong with the Guanzhong iron cavalry. How can we fight! That Yu Ban is useless, and it doesn't cooperate with me!" Xiahou Dun said dejectedly: "That Li Dian was also beaten by a white robe. The general was stabbed to death, what's your name, it seems to be Zhao Yun, **** it!" Cao Hong nodded sympathetically, it seemed that Xiahou Dun was worse than him, he at least defended Luoyang and bought time for Cao Cao, which should be a great contribution.

The two joined forces, with more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry. Xiahou Dun obviously wanted to take some credit, so he didn't lose too badly. He didn't even catch Xu Shu, and Li Dian was still dead... He volunteered to help Cao Hong chase down the army.

As they were chasing, a messenger came quickly: "Report, the lord has ordered Dian Wei to lead 100,000 cavalry to retake Mianchi and Caoyang from the north. The lord ordered you to take Hongnong directly! The two armies will turn and attack the main force of the fallen army!"

When he heard that Dian Wei's cavalry was coming, Cao Hong was overjoyed, the fallen soldiers and horses would be greatly restrained. Cao Hong ordered the troops to move slowly, and still let the chariot soldiers walk slowly around. The fallen horses are now gone, and it is no wonder who made his troops go so slowly. Cao Hong sent a large number of messengers to Dianwei and the surrounding area to talk. Xiahou Dun was quite puzzled: "The fallen army has already fled, and General Dian Wei is going to pursue him. Why are we running so slowly?"

Cao Hong sneered: "Hehe, no wonder you came back empty-handed and got nothing. You don't even think about it, are the fallen cavalry we are easy to mess with, the field cavalry led by Dian Wei is stronger, Dian Wei will definitely attack Mianchi, Cao Yang, etc. The land, chase after the fallen army buttresses, the main cavalry of the fallen army will inevitably be attracted. In this way, the remaining soldiers of the fallen army can easily occupy Hongnong, isn't it good! I want to go to the main cavalry of the fallen army to touch the nose. Ash! When the time comes, the iron cavalry of the fallen army will maim us, is it good? Fool!"

Although Xiahou Dun was annoyed, he couldn't think of anything to refute, so he had to rely on Cao Hong and the troops moved slowly. Soon a messenger came back: "Report! Dianwei's army encountered stubborn resistance! It seems that they have encountered a lot of trouble! It seems that they are still transiting in Mianchi City." Cao Hong was overjoyed. Soon after, the soldiers came back, and they all reported that Dian Wei encountered fierce resistance. Some people saw the fallen army cavalry and Dian Wei's cavalry fighting fiercely, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

"Hahaha", Cao Hong was overjoyed, "Did you hear that! The fallen cavalry ran to Mianchi to join Dian Wei, and now we must be safe in front of us!" Xiahou Dun also had a happy expression on his face.

"The whole army is attacking, the target is Hongnong, hurry up!" Cao Hong ordered sharply. Cao Cao's army began to run forward, and the cavalry ran out of the phalanx, and began to dash in front of them in battle formation.

Enemy 850 is really few! The fallen horses were only a small number of infantry soldiers and a few cavalry soldiers, and after resisting for a while, they rushed into the city of Hongnong in swarms. Cao Hong took advantage of the situation and ordered a strong attack. The men and horses on the city obviously had no fighting spirit. They resisted for a while and fled their posts one after another.

Cao Hong ordered the army to search the city, but there was no sign of lost troops or horses. Cao Hong climbed the tower and saw scattered infantry and cavalry fleeing towards Hangu Pass.

"Hahaha..." Cao Hong was triumphant, "I officially announce that I will restore Hongnong! I will restore Hongnong, an important town in the western part of the Central Plains!"

However, Hongnong has become an empty city. It is said that the people in the city have been semi-forcibly moved to the west. I also heard that they can get land for free. What is the land-equalization system? Residential, cooking and resting. The troops deployed at the head of the city seem to have been heavily defending this important town, and they are ready to fight.

In the middle of the night, it was quiet. Cao Hong was drinking with Xiahou Dun at night and scolding Yu Jin together. Suddenly someone outside shouted: "Fire! Fire!" Then they could vaguely see the light of the fire. Cao Hong rushed outside in a hurry, and saw that the center of the city was already red, the fire was blazing into the sky, and there was a crackling sound. .

Chapter 47 Fire

But they said that Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun occupied Hongnong, and the fire broke out at night. Then Cao Hong calmed down and ordered sharply: "No chaos! The troops and horses of the city gates are not allowed to move, and those who violate the order will be executed! The rest of the troops will go to put out the fire!"

Cao Hong was indeed a general, but he handled it properly. He was afraid that the fallen army would attack in the chaos. As for the fire in the city, Cao Hong and other troops rushed to put out the fire.

It turned out that in the dwelling, there was a dry firewood drenched in oil, and when it touched the fire, it burned more and more fiercely. Cao Hong shouted with his own troops, trying to find the arsonist. As a result, after searching for a long time, I saw that my army was looking for water to put out the fire everywhere. It was so easy to find. Many Cao soldiers were burned and screamed. Some Cao troops were blocked indoors, and the smoke was billowing, obviously dying.

Cao Hongzheng was furious and looked around for the arsonist. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the east of the city, followed by a huge fire. Obviously, the east of the city was also on fire. Cao Hong rushed over in a hurry, but saw the fireballs thrown into the city from outside the city one after another. The fireballs were different from the past. How did Cao's soldiers see this battle? The fireball burned violently and hit a Cao army soldier. With a sudden "boom", the fireball exploded, and the Cao army soldier was immediately blown to pieces. Then Cao Hong was a little flustered when he saw this tragic scene. What kind of weapon is this? How could it be so powerful... not to mention the ordinary soldiers of the Cao army, they all fled their posts thinking that they were punished by God. The fireball smashed into the sky, burning and exploding violently. Cao Jun at the East Gate suffered heavy casualties and howled.

"What happened!" Cao Hong cursed. That Xiahou Dun happened to be patrolling here, and called Cao Hong loudly at the top of the city. Cao Hong hurried up, but saw a large fire in the distance, like a fallen horse. The outcast horses surrounded the large Thunderbolt cart, and the fireballs were thrown into the city one after another.

"Rush out! Destroy them!" Cao Hong ordered angrily. How can you organize? Moreover, there was a fire at the gate of the city, and the gate was almost destroyed, and there was a sea of ​​fire everywhere. "General! Hurry up! I can't stay here anymore!" The sergeant beside him asked Cao Hong to evacuate quickly. Cao Hong had no choice but to run to the west of the city, where the fire had not yet spread.

"Cao Hong! Quickly rush out! We can't stay in the city!" Xiahou Dun shouted, "The fallen army will burn Hongnong City to ruins! We will stay here foolishly, and we will be burned to death!"

At this time, Ximen also started to catch fire, and the fire was fierce in all directions. Cao Hong had no choice but to think that Hongnong had recovered, but the fallen army just wanted to give him a piece of rubble! He angrily ordered: "Organize immediately if you can still move! Leave the wounded, those who lead the fire! Follow me to the north gate!" Cao Hong chose the north gate, because there was Dian Wei's army in the north, so it was obviously safer.
