Hulao Pass.

"What!"

After escaping for eighty miles, Li Jue and Guo Si and the others began to gather the defeated troops. However, the scouts sent out said that Luoyang was captured.

They hurriedly rushed to Hulao Pass, but just as the two were considering who to surrender, they suddenly heard the battle report and suddenly they widened their eyes.

The scout below whispered with a bitter face: "Lu Bu's hundred cavalry captured Luoyang City, and Gao Shuncai led his army to Luoyang three days later."

Li Jue's ferocious expression was even more terrifying. He slapped the table in anger and said angrily: "Damn it, I was actually fooled by Lu Bu. There were only 5,000 cavalry a few days ago."

Frustrated! Regret!

It was a great humiliation! Li Jue and Guo Si were both hot and roaring, but they even gritted their teeth.

"Damn it, Lu Bu's man, actually cheated!"

Who could have thought of this? From the beginning, Lu Bu suddenly came out. They thought Lu Bu's army had captured Luoyang City. Even when they retreated, they secretly sent scouts to investigate.

The information I found back was that the Luoyang city walls were all under the Northern Liang flags, and they were broken and bloody flags. It was obvious that they had experienced a great war.

The two of them were even more afraid that not only Luoyang is so strong, they still have more than 20,000 troops in Luoyang City, but none of them came out to report the news. They thought that Lu Bu had at least 200,000 troops besieged the city from all sides.

Unexpectedly, they were all scared and were extremely humiliated!

"Brother Guo, there is not much food in Hulao Pass, what should we do?"

Li Jue's face looked ugly, and Guo Si also had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao, don't think about it. If you just fought, the other party even welcomed the emperor. If you go, you may become a dead soul under the knife."

"Either go north to Yuan Shao or surrender to Zhang Yang, Bingzhou like Zhang Xiu's son, but the princes of the world, Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and Gongsun Zan are obviously allies, and there is also an unrelated Liu Bei."

"Go south to Jingzhou!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Liu Biao, Jingzhou! Or we surrender to Lu Bu."

Hearing this, Guo Si sneered, "Ru Yun, the powerful generals under Lu Bu, what are we doing? Is it neglected?"

"You and my brother have also tried the taste of being a master. Have you suffered when you go to join others?"

"Let's go south to find Jingzhou!"

Listening to Guo Si's words, Li Jue pondered and finally said gloomy: "Liu Biao is not a good person either. I'm afraid he will only arrange us in Wancheng, Nanyang, so that we can keep our doorstep for him."

"snort!"

Guo Si sneered even more, "So what? At least you and my brother are still the best. The world is in chaos. No one can save him since the Grand Master. Let's find a piece of land to rest and rest, and sit and watch the changes in the world."

When they said this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Yes, you and my brothers can watch the changes in the world with the 50,000 elite troops in their hands. Whoever is strong can rely on these 50,000 troops to be rich for the rest of their lives."

With laughter, the two finally found a place to go and immediately ordered the army to start reorganizing the army.

Three days later, the Hulao Pass was burning with a raging fire.

Luoyang!

After the Northern Liang army entered Luoyang, the remaining forces in Xiliang, which Dong Zhuo had left behind, completely announced their withdrawal.

"Lord, Li Jue, and Guo Si of Hulao Pass led the army away. Before leaving, he even burned everything that could be burned by Hulao Pass."

After hearing the report, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile. At least there was no need to fight with Li Jue and Guo Si's 50,000 troops. The matter is too urgent now. He couldn't get too many troops from Chang'an for a while.

"Appoint Chen Dao to lead 8,000 troops to take over Hulao Pass and repair the pass."

promise!

In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD).

The emperor fled from Luoyang, and Cao Cao led the elite troops to welcome the emperor to Yanzhou, and finally established the capital as Xuchang.

Lu Bu took the opportunity to go out of Hangu Pass, and hundreds of cavalry defeated Luoyang, and even took over the Luoyang area in one fell swoop, completely in line with the princes of the Central Plains.

Li Jue and Guo Si led more than 50,000 remaining soldiers to Jingzhou in a panic. In order to prevent the Xiliang bandits from causing chaos, Liu Biao pretended to accept the surrender of the two and ordered the two to lead the troops to guard the Wancheng area.

Since then, a thorn appeared in the Wancheng area where Jingzhou is in line with the princes of the Central Plains, and Liu Biao even began to concentrate on governing Jingzhou.

After more than a year of war in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan lost his troops and lost his generals, and most of the territory of Youzhou was destroyed, and Yuan Shao was even more intimidated by Hebei.

After Lu Bu in Luoyang left Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and other generals guarding him, he hurried back to Chang'an.

Inside Chang'an City.

"Lord, Cai Daru, the test papers for the imperial examination candidates have been reviewed, but the top three still need the lord."

"Although the lord captured Luoyang, he still asked him to take charge of Chang'an. Once the lord took charge of Luoyang, all the heroes in the world would be afraid of it."

Returning to Chang'an is a lot of things, especially whether they should go to Luoyang or Chang'an. Once they are in charge of Luoyang, they will say in front of the world that I will attack the northern part of the Central Plains.

And being in charge of Chang'an gives the world an illusion. Luoyang is actually an opportunity to take advantage of. At present, Lu Bu has not yet considered where to march.

"Gao Shun led his troops to Luoyang, and Xu Rongfuzhi."

When he said this, Lu Bu raised his head and looked at his trusted confidant minister, and finally narrowed his eyes.

"Cao Cao, the officials of Luoyang, plundered a lot, and the rest of me were sent to escort the emperor. After all, there is no one around the world. I, Lu Bu, is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

Everyone lowered their heads, but they all understood the meaning very well. Lu Bu did not need the emperor's officials at the moment.

"Yuan Hao."

"Master."

Tian Feng stepped out and looked at his lord, and saw Lu Bu saying in a deep voice: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, and Gu Yong cannot leave Chang'an, so he has to bother Yuan Hao to go to Luoyang to manage it."

"Fortunately, Li Ru made a good foundation when he was there, and he copied our system. It is easy to get started. We must be careful of autumn harvest."

"No!" Tian Feng knew the rigor of things and knew clearly that once the harvest and treatment were done this autumn and the people had food in their hands, it would be relatively easy next year.

Especially the people in Luoyang, they have never been relaxed in the past few years.

After doing all this, Lu Bu read the top ten test papers and finally sighed helplessly. This scene made Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others sighed slightly.

"This imperial examination was mostly participated by poor families and powerful men. The aristocratic families have their own arrogance, so they come to Chang'an more for the library."

The first imperial examination was filled with shabby feeling. There were not many children from real aristocratic families. Even those who participated were mostly unreferred concubines.

Even so, among the ten papers, there are still five children from aristocratic families, three children from poor families, and two local tyrants.

This ratio shows the background of the aristocratic family. Even if the concubine's son is not popular, he is still well-educated.

"Guo Jia is at the top of the list, and the rest of the people are extraordinary. Although they have no talent, they can manage one side and should be properly arranged."

promise!

Seeing the sudden disarray of the aristocratic family, Lu Bu sneered and laughed sarcastically: "Release the wind and say that Guo Jia, the talented people in Yingchuan, have a genius, are specially recruited as a staff member."

Jia Xu was stunned after hearing this, and then a smile of joy appeared on his face. He knew that Guo Jia was deeply happy with him and even more talented.

Now that the lord is doing this, it is obvious that he wants to put Guo Jia on the surface. Once Guo Jia becomes famous in the future, the imperial examination will be pushed to the peak again.

A new star that rose, maybe! When Jia Xu thought of this, he immediately smiled.

"Lord is wise." Jia Xu bowed respectfully, and he felt even more relieved. At least someone could share his pressure in the future.

"By the way, I will spread all my plans to capture Luoyang, and it is all a genius plan for Guo Jia, the top scholar in the imperial examination."

At this time, Lu Bu even sneered at the corner of his mouth. This time he had to make good use of Guo Jia's identity.

"Lord, will this bring too much pressure to Guo Jia?" Tian Feng was obviously a little good-looking, and even saw the pressure in it, and hesitated to ask.

Sometimes it’s not just good to be famous, you have to have the ability to withstand it.

Regarding Tian Feng's kindness, Lu Bu waved his hand casually and laughed: "This person does have the wisdom to live up to the genius. You are too scruples of him. I'm afraid that few people in the world can do this in strategic plans."

Tian Feng was even more shocked at Lu Bu's remarks. The young Guo Jia was so capable, and it was not that his lord wanted to take advantage of Guo Jia's identity as a poor family.

Jia Xu was even more happy after hearing this, and someone finally came to the scene.

"The top ten imperial examinations must be promoted, especially on the appointment process. Tell them directly, and tell them the people of the world first, let them go to Xiliang to assist Cheng Yu in the governance, and then be promoted according to their personal abilities. Even if they are the prefect of a county, I will not be stingy."

"The lord is wise."

In the first imperial examination, even if this group of people was not capable enough, Lu Bu had to hold back his energy to train them and set an example for the future.

Otherwise, the talented men selected for the imperial examination will be lost among the people, who will take the imperial examination under your rule by Lu Bu seriously for the second time in three years?

Even if Cai Daru takes the blame, he can do it the first time, but he may be laughed at if he goes there the second time.

"Lord, are there some arrangements for Zilong as the top scholar in martial arts?"

Tian Feng asked hesitantly, but Lu Bu sighed helplessly, "If you announce it, you will be qualified to sign up for the young heroes in the army who are under the lieutenant."

Yes, in order to be afraid of the cold situation, he secretly sent Zhao Yun among the generals.

Sure enough, in your literary competition, people all over the world have come because of Cai Daru and the library that can make people famous in history. Even Zheng Xuan, a great scholar from Qingzhou, came from thousands of miles away for this feat.

Martial Arts! Although Lu Bu took the blame and claimed to be the most powerful general in the world, more warriors have long chosen one of the princes, and there are not many people at home. Some are too young.

After all, there are few military tactics in the world and there is even a shortage of talents, especially those who have read military tactics.

There are also some people who have lost their fortunes or are unsuccessful and travel thousands of miles to Chang'an. To be honest, many people are waiting and watching.

"Hmph, go out and promote it. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the top martial arts list, are not as good as Guan Yu outside Hulao Pass, Zhang Fei and others, and are more familiar with military tactics. They will definitely be a tiger general in the future."

"Temporarily appointed Zhao Yun as the commander of my Lu Bu's personal soldiers. If there is any war in the future, you can lead the troops alone."

promise!

This time, Lu Bu was so excited that he could not tell the people of the world that he attached great importance to the selection of talents in the imperial examinations.

It also tells the world that it is not because Cai Daru's decision was made in an open manner.

When these two news spread, everyone in Chang'an was in a panic, and they were even more curious about who Guo Jia was? He could get such an evaluation from Lu Bu.

Especially after Lu Bu personally told the strategy of conquering Luoyang that all the strategies were made by this man, all the literati in Chang'an City immediately attached great importance to Guo Jia, who was from a poor family.

To be honest, not many people paid attention to the rest of Zhao Yun. After all, Lu Bu's prestige is too high and there are many powerful generals under his command, so it is difficult to reveal Zhao Yun.
