Chapter 48 48. Flee in a hurry

In order to get rid of Dong Zhuo's control, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Feng Fang finally escaped from Luoyang City after careful planning. Leaving Luoyang does not mean safety, because Li Jue, Guo Si and other ministries in Liangzhou are looting everywhere, as long as they don't escape from Henan, they may encounter these beasts at any time.And just behind him, Dong Zhuo may have noticed that the pursuers might have set off. The only way is to run forward with courage and keep running!In this way, the three of them took advantage of the hazy night and fled eastward without stopping. No one spoke a word for the whole night.

I don't know how long I have been running, and I can't tell how far I have run. Intuition that the mist has receded and the sky is about to dawn. Cao Cao hastily reined in the horse: "Stop! Stop!" "What's wrong?" Feng Fang hurriedly pulled the rein, "Is there any movement?" Yuan Shu's mount was not as good as those of the two of them, and he stopped slowly behind, hissing and panting. "It's almost dawn, we have to change our clothes." Cao Cao jumped off his horse and took off his helmet and armor. "It's impossible to go on like this. The dry food is limited and there is no fodder. We can't get out even if we are exhausted. Let's just put on some clothes." Wear casual clothes, pick up trails and walk slowly, if you meet a farmer, you can fight famine."

Feng Fang also disarmed: "It's good, but if Dong Zhuo passes on to Xizhou County, it may not be easy to get lost along the way." "I'm not afraid, I'm just an ordinary deserter now." Yuan Shu pretended to be a soldier, without any armor or other attire, "Now I don't even have a beard, even if the pictures are different , who would have guessed it was me." Cao Cao also glanced to the east: it's so beautiful!The sky in front of him has already turned pale, and the sun that has not yet risen has drawn a golden border on the earth. Finally, a new day has arrived, full of vitality and hope, and the fear in the vast night seems to be over... He suddenly Realizing that he was still on the way to escape, he must not take it lightly, so he quickly threw the armor on the ground and changed into the ordinary clothes in the bag.

"What about our armor?" Feng Fang had already finished changing. "Give it up, stay by your side and get in the way." "It's a pity..." Feng Fang seemed to be unable to bear it, but it would be troublesome to be seen by others, so he had to follow Cao Cao and throw them into the wild grass. When Cao Cao turned his head and saw his Dawan horse, he couldn't help shivering: "Our horses have to dress up too." There are many decorations on the war horses, which don't look like folk things, especially the mounts of military officers are more particular.Cao Cao hurriedly took off the luan bell, removed the red gold single stirrup, grabbed a few handfuls of earth from the ground and spread it on the horse.So the brown-red Dawan horse turned gray, but the tall and majestic body could not be changed.

After the three of them packed up, they hurried off the post road and drove into the country road.After walking for another hour or so, it was already broad daylight.It took a long time before I found a farmer in a remote place, sat by the well and drank some water and horses. After inquiring carefully, I found that not far ahead was the boundary of Zhongmou County. Cao Cao couldn't help being overjoyed. Seeing the peasants go far away, he smiled and said, "We have been traveling like crazy all night, and we don't want to get here. As long as we leave Henan, Dong Zhuo won't be able to catch us."

"You can't be too happy." Feng Fang said with a serious expression, "Let's take a detour, I'm afraid Xiliang Kuaima has already sent the paper to Zhongmou." "It doesn't matter, how can they arrange ambushes all over the county? Let's continue to walk through the village, cross the small road, and go around the city." Cao Cao took out a piece of cake and took a bite. "The question now is, where are we going?" Feng Fang was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't thought about this question.But Yuan Shu said: "Of course I want to go back to Ruyang, and go back to recruit soldiers, buy horses, gather grass and store food, so that I can fight the old thief with my life."

"Don't have too much hope." Cao Cao said while chewing, "Since you escaped at the beginning, your village has been targeted by Dong Zhuo. Maybe all your people have fled abroad, and it may be nothing to go back." Feng Fang patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, if there is no one in Ruyang, you can go back to Nanyang with me. Now Zhang Zi is the prefect with us, and they are all our own people. You will feel like going home when you go there." Cao Cao knew Feng Fang's details.He is from Nanyang, and his family background is not very high, but because he married the adopted daughter of Cao Jie, a great eunuch from his hometown, his official career has been promoted smoothly. I can't afford any storms.

"Meng De, are you going back to Qiao County, Peiguo?" "Ok." "What a coincidence, we first went to Peiguo, then passed through Runan, and then went down to Nanyang. Our journey is really smooth!" Yuan Shu nodded repeatedly. Cao Cao shook his head and said, "However, Qiao County is too close to Henan. The most urgent thing is to go back and report. I plan to relocate my family. I will flee to Yanzhou first." Feng Fang smiled and said, "Why are you going to Yanzhou? Why don't you just bring your family to Nanyang? Just like the road, be my own soldier."

Cao Cao was noncommittal, and teased, "Let's talk about it in Peiguo."
