Chapter 552 Pursuit!

Sun Jian also became nervous. He knew very well that once Liu Xie ran to Hulao Pass and their crimes of rebellion were fulfilled, the nature of the surprise attack on Luoyang would have completely changed.

"Hurry up, gather troops and chase after you immediately. No matter what, you must intercept the little emperor before he reaches Hulao Pass!" Sun Jian issued an order frantically.

Liu Bei and others did not hesitate at all, and immediately rushed out of the palace with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian and others gathered their troops and quickly chased towards the east gate of Luoyang, leaving only Luoyang City surrounded by fire and countless people who were wailing in pain...

Xun You and Xu Huang were blocked at the southern gate of Luoyang and could only travel west along the city wall. Only when they arrived at the western gate of Luoyang were they called to open the city gate and enter, but it was too late.

Fires were everywhere in Luoyang City. Xun You and Xu Huang didn't care about putting out the fire, so they could only hurry to the palace, wanting to protect Liu Xie.

When they arrived in front of the palace, the soldiers led by Zhang Liao and Xun Yu who returned from the north gate also arrived at the same time.

"Gongda, what happened? Why did the fire catch in Luoyang? Why are you here?" Xun Yu asked anxiously as soon as he saw Xun You.

"Uncle, we were attacked by the enemy's counter-raid in Longhu Mountain and suffered heavy losses. General Guan Hai was beheaded by Guan Yu..." Xun You reported the battle situation helplessly to Xun Yu.

"What? My brother was killed by Guan Yu?!" Guan Cheng immediately became anxious when he heard Xun You's words and cried sadly.

The two brothers have been following Han Tao in Guangzong for several years. They have never made any mistakes in fighting generals at Hulao Pass, but they are killed in Longhu Mountain.

"After Sun Jian and Liu Bei defeated us, they chased us all the way to Luoyang. Seeing that the enemy was in great power, the defenders of Luoyang South Gate did not dare to open the city gate, so we could only circle the city and enter from the west gate."

"Looking at the current situation in the city, it should be that the enemy army first broke through the south gate and rushed into the city to set fire to chaos!" Xun You continued to report.

Xun Yu was very upset after hearing this. He did not expect that the situation that was originally a sure victory turned out to be like this.

The original arrangement of ambushing north and south was successfully defeated Cao Cao and killed Cao Hong.

However, the losses on the South Road were actually even heavier, which damaged Guan Hai and many soldiers, and directly led to the loss of Luoyang.

Judging from the results, their interception operation was actually equivalent to failure.

Xun Yu didn't care about blaming or blaming Xun You, but just urged them to enter the palace quickly to find out about Liu Xie's safety.

The palace is now in chaos, with soldiers from the imperial guards and internal prisons everywhere.

Xun Yu and others were extremely worried when they saw this scene, fearing that they would be late, and Liu Xie had fallen into the hands of Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others.

There were no Changsha soldiers in the palace. They hurriedly asked the living palace maids and eunuchs, and only then did they know that just before they arrived, Sun Jian and others had already led their troops out of the palace and headed towards the east gate.

"East Gate? It seems that someone is protecting His Majesty from the palace. They should go out of the East Gate to Hulao Pass to join their lord! Sun Jian, Liu Bei is going to pursue His Majesty!" Xun Yu immediately made a judgment.

"Mr. Wenruo, then we will chase you now. We must not let these rebels hurt Your Majesty!" Zhang Liao said anxiously.

"Wen Yuan, you and Gongming lead troops to rescue Your Majesty. Gongda and I, Guan Cheng, stayed with a thousand soldiers to put out fires and relieve disasters, and appease the people of Luoyang." Xun Yu made his own arrangements.

"Why, I want to follow the army to pursue me, I want to kill Guan Yu to avenge my brother!" Guan Cheng retorted anxiously when he heard Xun Yu ask him to stay.

"This is a military order, no objection is allowed, act immediately!" Xun Yu responded sternly.

In fact, the purpose of his arrangement was to know that Guan Cheng must be anxious to avenge Guan Hai. If he was asked to lead his troops to chase him, he would be very likely to encounter danger when encountering the enemy. Letting him stay in Luoyang is actually a disguised protection for him.

Although Guan Cheng felt depressed, he did not dare to disobey the military order. He could only respond with his anger: "Here!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang immediately followed the soldiers and quickly chased out of the east gate of Luoyang.

Xun Yu arranged for Guan Cheng to lead the troops to put out the fire, and asked Xun You to quickly contact the princes and ministers of Luoyang City, and mobilized the imperial guards and soldiers of the Northern Army to provide disaster relief...

...

At this time, the sky was already bright. On the road from the east gate of Luoyang to Hulao Pass, Wang Yun, Wang Gai and others were still escorting Liu Xie and galloping wildly.

It is about 200 miles from Luoyang to Hulao Pass. Even if you rush and gallop, it will take a day.

At this time, after they left Luoyang, they had been running for dozens of miles in a row. The horses were already exhausted and began to breathe heavily.

Wang Yun knew that if he continued running like this, the horse would definitely not be able to hold on, so he issued an order: "There are about ten miles ahead and there is a Pavilion Post. Let's go change the horse and continue on the way!"

Liu Xie sat on the horse, protected by Wang Gai in his arms. He ran around overnight, which made him unable to hold on. When he heard Wang Yun say that he could take a break, he was full of expectations and tried hard to cheer up.

At this moment, a huge smoke suddenly rose behind them, and then the sound of horses neighing and people roaring, and Sun Jian's soldiers caught up.

In order to catch up with Liu Xie, Sun Jian selected 500 cavalrymen, led by him, followed by the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, Huang Gai and Han Dang. Each of them also brought an additional war horse to replace the rotation just to continue to quickly pursue.

Their army was handed over to Cheng Pu, and Sun Ce occupied the important road ten miles after leaving Luoyang City, with the purpose of intercepting the pursuit of Han Tao's troops and giving Sun Jian and others more time.

After a series of raids, Sun Jian and others finally saw Liu Xie, Wang Yun and others in front from afar.

"Hurry up, catch up!" Sun Jian issued an order excitedly, and then rushed forward with a crazily horse.

The three brothers Liu Bei also followed Sun Jian closely and urged the horse to move quickly.

Liu Xie became nervous when he heard the pursuing soldiers behind him, and asked Wang Yun: "Wang Aiqing, the rebels are catching up with him, what should I do?"

Wang Gai also looked at Wang Yun anxiously: "Yes, what should I do with my father?"

Wang Yun looked at the dozen embroidered clothes around him and the inner prisoner who escaped with Liu Xie. Now their horses have reached the end of their strength. Even if they run forcibly, they will not last long and will be caught up by the pursuers soon. It is simply a dream to expect these people to be able to block the pursuers behind them.

"Wang Gai, please protect Your Majesty and continue running forward. Others stay with me, find ways to stop the rebels and delay time!" Wang Yun made his own decision.

When Wang Gai heard that Wang Yun was about to stay and stop the enemy, he anxiously wanted to persuade him: "Father, how can you stop the rebels? Or we should go together..."

"Don't talk nonsense. As Han ministers, it is our responsibility to protect Your Majesty! Do as I say! Hurry!" Wang Yun scolded Wang Gai sternly.

When Wang Gai heard Wang Yun's order, he didn't dare to speak anymore: "Yes, father!"
