Suddenly, a group of Bingzhou cavalry suddenly cheered, although they didn't know which onion Yuzhou Mu was, but they believed in Lu Bu's words, no need to fight, no need to fight against Wen Hou, what a happy thing it was
"Hmph, Lu Bu is a traitor, he doesn't want us to stay, he must have taken refuge in Dong Zhuo, presumably the lord was also harmed by him, let's kill him and avenge the lord", Zhang Yang saw that the situation was out of his control, and immediately shouted loudly
Zhang Yang's personal soldiers suddenly rushed up with understanding, and immediately wanted to greet Lu Bu, but Zhang Yang hurriedly retreated
This is a good opportunity to pay homage to the prime minister, how can he retreat because of a few words, although he knows that Lu Bu's influence is extremely great, but Zhang Yang still wants to pull up part of the wolf ride of the state, otherwise Yuan Shao, the commander of the light pole, may not look at him
The state iron cavalry and the Xiliang iron cavalry, the white horse is known as the three strongest cavalry in the world, which is naturally worthy of its name, and the state iron cavalry has strong combat effectiveness, discipline and obedience are also crowned in the states and counties
Lu Bu smiled coldly, took out the Xuantie War Bow in the ring, and pulled the bowstring out of thin air in the direction of Zhang Yang, and an invisible energy suddenly roared and flew towards Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang suddenly fell in response
"Whoever destroys them and plots to kill my and the sons of the state will die," Lu Bu actually said loudly to the Bingzhou cavalry in front
In an instant, as if it was a drama, the Bingzhou cavalry behind Zhang Yang's own soldiers suddenly swarmed up and directly wiped them out
With 10,000 iron horsemen, Lu Bu returned to the Tiger Prison Pass in a dignified manner
Returning to the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu first settled 10,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and then came to see Li Ru and talked about the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry
Li Ru suddenly smiled indifferently and said, "Fengxian, you can make your own mind about this kind of trivial matter, it doesn't hurt to stay with the 10,000 elite soldiers, you just need to talk to the lord in the battle report, and I can support the money and food for going back."
Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, and also talked about the course of this war, and said with emotion, "The military division is strategizing, and the gods and men are also."
"Feng Xian's words are serious, no matter how good the plan is, there is no powerful executor, it is not empty words, I want to congratulate Feng Xian, thousands of miles of raids to burn grain and grass, kill the princes, Feng Xian has made a great contribution, I will definitely ask for credit for Feng Xian", Li Ru had a smile on his face, but there was no excited look
In fact, such a victory is not at all energetic for Li Ru, he personally arranged the Bishui Pass, he personally surveyed the terrain of hundreds of miles of Bishui Pass, and even controlled the weather there, it feels like he has a spy satellite in his hand, everything about the enemy is in his eyes, victory is inevitable, the question is how much he loses
"The military advisor seems to be a little unhappy, I don't know what is going on", Lu Bu suddenly looked at Li Ru in a little surprise, and asked, could it be that even Li Ru was confused and anxious
"According to Feng Xian's words, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are all wise and resourceful people, Guan Zhang Dian Wei Xu Chu are all brave champions of the three armies, if they stop hundreds of miles away from Bishui Pass and stop moving, I am afraid there will be tricks, in fact, they are in a hurry, we are also in a hurry, there have been many cases of assassination of the lord in Luoyang, and Sun Jian in Hanoi besieged but did not attack, it seems that he is also waiting for the opportunity, and Sun Jian's information, we are blank, this is probably a variable", Li Ru suddenly said the information of Luoyang Hanoi these days
Since Lu Bu left Luoyang, there have been countless assassinations in Luoyang, many of the assassins are Dong Zhuo people who usually like to bully men and women, assassins, scouts, rangers, and even demon masters have appeared, Dong Zhuo's generals, servants, guards, attendants, and even the palace maids in the palace have the shadow of assassins, Dong Zhuo is now step by step, although he is very angry, but he is helpless, as for Sun Jian, after arriving in the south of Hanoi, he also began to besiege the south gate of Hanoi, but unlike Yan Liangwen and Chou, who attacked the city with all his strength at the north gate, Sun Jian played a combination of fiction and reality, and the whole army assaulted, but stopped one meter outside the range of the defenders, constantly beating drums and shouting, and then began military exercises, but just did not attack, sometimes arrogant insults, fangs and claws, sometimes even in front of the defenders of the city to cook, drink tea, the aroma suddenly spread throughout the battlefield, sometimes and all the strength to attack the city, day and night, for more than ten days, Hanoi was made restless, and Sun Jian only lost dozens of people
"It's okay, the lord's skills are profound, Luoyang is heavily guarded, and they can't afford to make any waves," Lu Bu was full of confidence in Dong Zhuo and said
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm most afraid of what if, if the war ends early, everything will be worry-free immediately, you say no", Li Ru gave Lu Bu a look you know, and said meaningfully
"I should swear to serve you first, and ask the military advisor to give orders", Lu Bu still didn't understand what Li Ru meant, and said with a serious face on his half-kneeling face
Lu Bu has only knelt down one person so far, that is, the first emperor who named him the god of war, even Dong Zhuo can't stand his worship in Lu Bu's eyes, and only Li Ru can afford his half-kneeling
Li Ru's meaning is very clear, that is, Lu Bu, we are now on the same ship, don't let this ship sink, Lu Bu is also very clear, what Li Ru is talking about, Lu Bu still has 20,000 elite Bingzhou wolf riders in his hands, this is a super elite soldier with one enemy and one hundred, but Lu Bu except for his own raid, the rest of the more than 10,000 troops are all left in Luoyang, Lu Bu also knows that Li Ru is reminding himself that he must go all out to end the war as soon as possible
"If there is Fengxian, I will rest assured, don't hide from Fengxian, everything in Luoyang is in my control, no one can make a trace of waves", Li Ru's face showed a proud look, and said lightly Lu Bu suddenly felt happy in his heart, and then asked, "Why does the military advisor value Sun Jian so much?" First of all, Sun Jian's martial arts have been revealed at the Jucai Conference, and he is definitely not his enemy in fifty rounds, and then there is a huge difference in strength between the north and the south, and his own wolf ride is 10,000, and he can eat his Sun Jian's 100,000 army, I haven't heard of any strong soldiers in the south, like Huainan Yuan Shu, except for many soldiers, nothing is anything
"Feng Xian seems to be a little underestimated as a hero in the world, do you remember the title of overlord", Li Ru shook his head lightly and said
Overlord, Western Chu Overlord, could it be that Lu Bu suddenly thought in horror on his face
The world knows that if the world of the Han family is fought by wisdom, then the world of King Xiang, which was divided into the world by the Chu River and the Han border in the past, was completely fought by force, and the former overlord led 8,000 Jiangdong troops to the north with his uncle, and fought in the south and north for several years, becoming the largest prince in the world, with hundreds of thousands of troops, invincible and invincible, that belonged to the overlord of Western Chu
If Sun Jian's navy was the overlord army of the year, then all his advantages would be in vain, but it seems that this is not impossible, it is rumored that Jiangdong has specialties from overseas, and the Jiangdong army came across the sea
Thinking of the deeds of the overlord, Lu Bu was suddenly terrified, no one can deny that the Jiangdong Army led by the overlord, that is the real divine soldier, invincible in the river battle, after landing, it is incarnated as a demon cavalry, so that the world's elite soldiers are beyond the reach of the dust, the giant deer battle, the tiger wolf Qin soldiers who are powerful in the world, were defeated, and in the battle of Xuzhou, the 30,000 cavalry of the overlord defeated the 560,000 army of Liu Bang, the king of Han, and achieved the myth of the navy
"No, it shouldn't be, if Sun Jian had such an army, how could he let Liu Jian Yan Baihu Wang Lang be presumptuous under his nose, and let Jingzhou Huainan's hand reach into Jiangdong", Lu Bu also quickly found evidence and retorted
"I think so too, but it's better for the war to end quickly", Li Ru also nodded with relief, and said, although Li Ru is his heir, but after all, he is not him, the overlord has a powerful side, and naturally there is also a tender side, and his duality deeply affects future generations
"What should we do next?" Lu Bu suddenly asked
"Wait, presumably in the end, Yuan Shao will definitely separate the Bishui Pass and storm the Tiger Prison Pass, and then Fengxian you will lead Li Dao Guo Bi to support the Bishui Pass, on the way, hum, I will see how the coalition army ends, and once Li Dao Guo Bi arrives at the Bishui Pass, Bishui Pass can cut off the retreat of the coalition army at any time, and I will let all the comers become Fengxian's military merits", Li Ru said lightly
"Xie Junshi cultivates", Lu Bu was overjoyed in his heart, and said gratefully
In fact, from the perspective of an earthling, now is the best opportunity for Lu Bu, taking advantage of the siege of the coalition army to destroy Dong Zhuo's group one by one, taking advantage of the situation to receive Dong Zhuo's army, let Emperor Xian give an order, each reward the princes from all walks of life, and then drive them away, he is the lord of Si Li and Yongzhou, and the coalition army has nothing to say, this is far simpler than defeating the coalition army
Luoyang City, Xiangguo Mansion, Dong Zhuo impatiently opened a bag, his face was suddenly overjoyed, and then he gave two orders, the first is to kill the anti-thieves in Luoyang City, and the second is to seal Lu Bu as the Duke of Bingzhou, and at the same time serve as Yuzhou Mu, front-line officers and soldiers, each rewarded, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly set off a bloody storm in Luoyang
Who is the anti-thief, first of all, of course, the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, the Yuan family is first of all the nine clans are wiped out, and then it is related to the princes, but it is related to the Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, what does that represent, the entire court represented by ninety percent has something to do with them, if they are all cut, at least they will be cut by tens of thousands, and tomorrow the court will basically see a sparse and sparse trembling figure
When the news of Huaxiong's death came, Dong Zhuo wanted to destroy the Yuan family as soon as possible, but was blocked by what Li Ru said before leaving, everything was waiting for Lu Bu's good news to come, and opened the bag left by Li Ru, which contained a list of people who needed to be killed, the Yuan family, that is certain, and the rest is to punish the head of all evils and provoke them to kill
The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, that does not mean that they are very poor and incorruptible, on the contrary, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the higher the power of the ministers, the more valuable they are often richer, and the Yuan family is the richest man in Luoyang, the mansion is calculated in terms of mountains, not in acres, the news of the destruction of the Yuan family has just been issued, and the city of Luoyang suddenly became chaotic, and more than 6,000 people in the Yuan family's residence in the city immediately rebelled and resisted, and tens of thousands of private soldiers appeared in the southeast, northwest, and northwest gates to attack the city, and Dong Zhuo's prime minister's mansion also appeared dozens of assassins with high martial arts, and even more than a dozen demon masters appeared in the sky
"Haven't those two bastard reinforcements come yet", Taifu Yuan Kui suddenly said with anger on his face
The surrounding clansmen of Yuan Kui's family immediately looked at each other and did not dare to answer
"My lord, the two young masters are here," a herald hurriedly reported
Looking at the letter in his hand, Yuan Kui suddenly spit out blood and was immediately unconscious
A group of clansmen took the letter one after another, and their faces suddenly turned red and white
The meaning of these two bastards is almost the same, that is, now we are doing our best, but we still need some excuses to annex the forces of other princes, and you, the small ones, we will help you raise them, and the old ones, let's be loyal to the country, otherwise, we can't guarantee the small ones
And in the end, Yuan Kui was still very lucky, he couldn't wake up, and those who withdrew could only hate Jiuquan, in the tunnel leading to the outside of the city in Luoyang, Yuan's family, some people in black were respectfully following the Yuan family members of Yuan Kui's family, and quickly absconded, and the direction of escape was neither Huainan nor Jizhou......
The riots in Luoyang lasted for three days, and in these three days, Luoyang alone suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and the severed heads were loaded into ten cars and sent to the coalition forces
First Zhang Yang was attacked and killed, and then his relatives and friends in Luoyang were killed, these two small pieces of news deeply shocked the coalition army
The princes were frightened and angry, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu fell to the ground crying and slashed the sergeant who sent the head
Anger prompted the coalition forces to attack in a determined direction towards Tiger Pass
On this day, the weather is sunny, the sky is blue with white clouds, the sun is shining, it is a good day to go out for a walk, but a straight into the sky under the Xiongguan to carry out this thrilling war, like an ant colony, wearing different military uniforms and riding archers wielding spears, shouting broadswords, firing arrows rain and constantly rushing forward, a huge siege wood around them, the well fence is also constantly advancing, the catapult at the end of the roar angrily, one by one burning boulders were launched out
And the Tiger Prison Pass was as silent as death, and there was no response
At the moment when the vanguard of the coalition army reached the city wall, arrows like a swarm of locusts arrived in an instant, and a real thousand arrows were fired in unison
In general, having climbed the walls, the morale will inevitably be greatly boosted, and even if they encounter anything, they will not retreat, because victory is at hand, but alas, they will encounter not anyone, but poison
As the arrows continued to appear, the soldiers who were slightly glued to the ground immediately fell to the ground, and the next second, they hung up
It turned out to be a poison that sealed the throat with blood
On the huge catapults, where the arrows were shot, green smoke appeared, and a large hole was corroded, and the princes who were outside the range of the attack saw it, and they were immediately terrified
Everyone kind of understood how chilling Lu Bu's smile was in front of Bishui Pass
The horn sounded quickly, and the signal for Mingjin to withdraw his troops was immediately issued, but unfortunately, none of the soldiers who entered the attack range of the Tiger Prison Pass came back in the end, and all of them lay on the battlefield
In just half a day, the coalition army lost more than 50,000 people and countless siege weapons
At night, Han Fu, Tian Kai, Zhang Chao, and the three princes suddenly united and asked to retreat, Kong Rong asked not to advance in the long run, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also had a retreat in their hearts, and they were all looking at Cao Cao, Cao Cao alone couldn't withstand such a big pressure, so he had to claim that he would rest tonight and talk about it tomorrow
In fact, although Cao Cao was shocked in his heart, he didn't care much about the poisonous attack of the Tiger Pass, he didn't believe that the refining of this poison was so easy, he didn't believe that Li Ru could let their millions of troops all die in the hands of poison, they still had more than 700,000 troops, and reinforcements were still coming, and Gongsun Zhan's cavalry group had no losses, Sun Jian and Yan Liangwen Chou were not defeated, they were not without a fight, and if they retreated, I am afraid that today next year will be hundreds of thousands of troops attacking Yanzhou, he Cao Mengde was defeated and died, whether it is for the court or for himself, he must not retreat
But what Lao Cao didn't expect was that Li Ru really prepared the poison that allowed their millions of troops to be able to fall into Huangquan
At night, the lights are bright, but Cao Cao can't sleep, Bishui Pass is okay to say, the main general is not a super strong general, and there is no military commander, but the Tiger Prison Pass is someone in Lu Bu and Guanzhong's first strategist Li Ru are in charge, and the slightest carelessness will be attacked and killed, and now the Tiger Prison Pass siege weapons are coated with poison, and they can't get close at all, and the princes on their side are not united, and the food transportation is inconvenient, can this battle still be fought, Lao Cao asked himself
After thinking about it for half the night, Cao Cao still didn't think of any good way, and secretly said in his heart, if the princes are in their hearts, we can be stationed on the spot, establish a defensive base, take the opportunity to occupy Bishui Pass and then garrison it for a long time, peep into Luoyang, even if Luoyang can't be defeated, such an arrangement will also become a barrier in Yanzhou in the future, and this is the case, it can also let Yan Liangwen Chou and Sun Jian capture Hanoi, cross the river, and surround the Tiger Pass, so that the odds of victory will be greatly improved
As if it was heaven's help, late at night, Cao Cao was woken up by the noisy shouting and screaming in pain, only to see the Cao family brothers, the Xiahou brothers, Dian Wei Xu Chu and Li Dian Lejin all anxiously arrived, and suddenly his heart sank
"Lord, there are many dead soldiers in the princes' villages, and they are killing and setting fire to them frantically, it is reported that Tian Kai, Han Fu, Zhang Chao, and Kong Rong were all attacked, poisoned and unconscious, and are still in chaos", Cao Hong said a little anxiously
"Go all out to quell the chaos", Cao Cao nodded and waved his hand
After the chaos, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu suddenly came to Cao Cao's camp in disgrace
"Meng De, I'm afraid we won't be able to retreat this time, this Li Ru is simply crazy, he actually sent hundreds of dead soldiers to assassinate him, and now our side except for the three of us, the other princes are all unconscious, if this continues, the army's morale is scattered, I am afraid that there will be a bombing of the camp", Yuan Shao said worriedly
"Originally, on the highway, have you been assassinated by the dead", Cao Cao did not have a trace of anxiety, but a smile on his face, but the smile was a little cold
"That's not true, it's just that someone is setting fire", Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both nodded, and said with a little doubt, in Cao Cao's words, the two of them suddenly felt a little abrupt, one of them is the leader of the alliance, and the other is the governor of grain and grass, why no one has assassinated them, is it not handsome enough
"Obviously, Li Ru was also worried that we would scatter like this, so he came to our aid, and he wanted us to attack with all our strength and then annihilate us", Cao Cao said with a little anger and a sneer
"Arrogant, I'm going to see how he can eat my elite soldiers and provoke me, hum", Yuan Shu hurriedly stopped his mouth and said coldly
But at this time, neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao heard the meaning of Yuan Shu's words, and Yuan Shao suddenly said a little anxiously, "Meng De, in this way, he Li Ru must be able to completely destroy us, otherwise how could he not assassinate us?"
"Originally, I planned to establish a defensive line on the spot from now on to prevent the Tiger Prison Pass from increasing troops to Bishui Pass, and then take advantage of the situation to seize Bishui Pass, and at the same time let Sun Jian and Yan Liangwen Chou capture Hanoi, and attack from both sides to deter Luoyang, but it is better because the princes are not united, and now it is better", Cao Cao showed a faint joy at Li Ru's assassination
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up
"Originally, the highway, from now on, I will let Dian Wei take Xiahou Tang Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu and Cao Hong and Cao Ren to protect you separately, as long as we can hold on for a while, victory is in sight", Cao Cao said slowly
"Meng De, this", Yuan Shao's heart suddenly warmed, Dian Wei Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers and Cao family brothers are all super first-class combat power and first-class generals, it was originally Cao Cao's gold medal for avoiding death, and now it is actually used to protect them, even if it is Yuan Shu, he also gave Cao Cao a grateful look
"Everyone is serving the country, regardless of each other, and I guess that Li Ru's next target is you, and I, he won't want me to die, because if I die, no one will play with him", Cao Cao smiled on the corner of his mouth, obviously, Li Ru's actions have successfully ignited Cao Cao's fighting spirit
Soon, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu encircled the coalition army, in addition to the 70,000 army in Cao Cao's hands, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu respectively commanded more than 300,000 troops, and now there is no Yanzhou Army and Yuzhou Army, and it is unified as an anti-Dong coalition army
The coalition forces suddenly went against the norm, and without the siege of Yankuai, they began to cut down trees and stones, and began to build a strong defensive line, and strangely, Li Ru did not take the opportunity to attack, so that Cao Cao's original arrangement in front of the defense line was frightened for several days
A few days later, an astonishing news reached the ears of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu personally led Li Dao, and Guo Yan led 50,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to gallop to Bishui Pass and attack the coalition position
The three of them hurriedly had a meeting, and this meeting also had a third and a half princes, Liu Bei, the king of the plains who had recovered from his injuries
"Lord Wang, Lu Bu led his troops to Bishui Pass this time, once a joint encirclement is formed, I am afraid that it will cut off my back road, and the enemy's morale will be greatly boosted, we can't let him succeed", Yuan Shao suddenly said indignantly
"Be willing to listen to the alliance leader's dispatch," Liu Bei said suddenly
"Okay, the prince really understands the reason, the person Dong Zhuo relies on, Lu Bu, as soon as Lu Bu dies, it will be much easier to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, I plan to let Guan Hou Ye, the three generals and Meng De's subordinate Dian Wei Xu Chu Xiahou brothers and Cao family brothers join forces to intercept Lu Bu and swear to take Lu Bu's head", Yuan Shao suddenly said with his eyes shining
The result is self-evident, Yuan Shao personally took an army of 150,000 and eight generals of Guan Zhangdian, Wei Xu, Chu Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren, and hurried to the only way for Lu Bu
Faced with the encirclement of the coalition forces, Lu Bu remained silent
With the sound of the horn and drums, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry took out a small sachet from his arms and rushed forward, the small sachet was suddenly thrown to the coalition army, and the poisonous smoke filled the entire sky, the coalition army saw this, was shocked, and retreated, in Lu Bu's laughter, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry not only broke away from the encirclement, but also successfully poisoned more than 30,000 people
On the Bishui Pass, the original guards became half and a half, half of the original Luoyang Army and Yongzhou Army, half of the tall Youzhou Army, and the pass was also full of dense cavalry, on the other side of the Bishui Pass, tens of thousands of troops were hiding in the improvised defensive line, struggling to support, and Li Su on the pass was looking demented
Bishui Pass was actually breached
The camera played back, a bloodied herald fell in the range of Bishui Pass, and hundreds of cavalry were chasing after him, Li Su saw this, and immediately ordered to attack the group of cavalry, and at the same time rescued the herald
The herald couldn't see his face clearly because of the blood and mud, and when he woke up, the first thing he said was "Hold on, reinforcements are coming"
It turned out that this was a herald sent by the reinforcements from the Tiger Pass, and the reinforcements from the Tiger Pass were repelled by the coalition forces, and in order to avoid a big drop in morale at Bishui Pass, they sent a herald, claiming that they would arrive on the same day
