Chapter 476: It's really confusing
"Dong Min, are you still inside?" Liu Tao came to the outside of the residential area and shouted inside, there was no megaphone, and he didn't know if the people inside knew, "You are all surrounded!" ”
said that it was a siege, but in fact, it was only Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and the people from his headquarters who came over, and the others still went to the palace.
Seeing that there was no reaction for a while, Liu Tao had no choice but to order the generals around him: "Shout inside, if they don't come out, we will set fire to this residential area!" ”
"How long to shout?" Yan Liang stepped forward to ask, and Zhao Yun also almost meant this.
"Shout seven or eight times!" Liu Tao thought for a while, "Let everyone shout together, and if you don't come out, you will attack it." Also, be careful of the opponent's fire attack and withdraw at any time. ”
In the previous battle, many people no longer had Heavenly Armor on their bodies, but Liu Tao couldn't tell who had and who didn't.
Stone skins do increase defense, but have no protection against fire burns. Therefore, if the other party attacks with fire, the soldiers under his command, and even the generals, may still be burned to death.
Even if it is burned, it will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness, mainly because the disfigurement is a little unacceptable. Because the inflammation caused by burns can be cleared by purifying light.
Zhao Yun and the others got the order and began to give orders, shouting seven or eight times towards the residential area, but there was no reaction inside.
"In this situation, there are only two possibilities......" Liu Tao looked at the quiet residential area, "Either Dong Min and the others left early, or this is not their real hiding place at all." ”
Then he looked at Hu Che'er and Hu Chi'er, and continued: "I will tell you that I hope that after you are captured, you can deliberately induce us to come here. ”
"No, no, no, the two of us are sincere!" The two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained.
"No, I didn't say that you were lying to me, but Li Ru even lied to you. He didn't plan to let you know where they really were, and what they planned for the future. Liu Tao said casually.
Encountered on the battlefield, either killed or captured. If you are captured, then you will either surrender or torture. In the end, there will always be people who will expose their whereabouts and purposes, and simply say a fake place in advance, but they have deceived themselves.
There are other possibilities, but according to Liu Tao's understanding of Li Ru, this is just more likely.
Although the two are reckless and don't have so much culture, they still understand the truth. After thinking about it, I suddenly understood, and I only felt extremely angry, and I felt a feeling of being abandoned and betrayed.
The last worries in my heart disappeared, and I quickly corrected my position and attitude.
"The military advisor is not here, so I can only use my own brain......" Liu Tao didn't like this feeling very much, he obviously brought several military advisors over, but for the sake of insurance, let them stay outside.
On the one hand, he supervised the Huns, but on the other hand, he was worried that he would not be able to protect them.
The side effects are also obvious, and you have to use your own brain when you encounter something bad. And if they come in, according to the brains of Guo Jia and Xun You, and even Chen Gong or Xin Bi, it is estimated that they will not only calmly face the ambush, but also arrange countermeasures.
Unlike him, he can only pass through by consuming mana in the end.
"Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions...... Liu Tao thought for a moment and looked at the two of them, "Take someone in and search for it." ”
"Whoa!" The two of them didn't think about it, and immediately agreed, this is indeed a good opportunity to show their loyalty.
"If the situation changes, leave immediately, safety is important!" Seeing this, Liu Tao gave a little advice, after all, these surrendered Flying Bear Army did not have any spells attached.
He still has some mana on him, but it's clearly not used in this kind of place.
As a result of the exploration, it is obvious that Dong Min and others are not inside, and similarly, there is no intention of putting a fire here.
This made Liu Tao very surprised, if you want to maximize your interests, wouldn't it be the best to set a fire? At the very least, there's a chance that some of his soldiers can be burned to death. Seriously, Liu Tao felt that this was very unruly.
At this time, Lu Bu, who went to the palace, sent someone back to report that no remnants of Dong thieves were found in the palace, but no ignition and combustibles were found.
Now, according to Liu Tao's instructions, they began to search for the secret passage leading to the outside of the palace, but there was no result yet.
After all, unless you are very familiar with the palace, so familiar that you even know where there are several secret passages, it is not easy to find a secret passage.
"Let's go over and help, as expected, Li Ru and the others have already left through the secret passage." Liu Tao probably understands all the context of the matter.
Perhaps, on the city wall, Dong Min's words were at least three points true. mainly shows that he wants to retire, and obviously knows that Liu Tao will not let go of the Dong family, and the world will not let go of the Dong family.
Of course, the surrender is fake, and all the subsequent preparations are to be able to have enough time to enter the secret passage of Chang'an City and leave. Li Ru would not pin his safety on the mercy of the enemy.
As for why it took so long, it was obvious that they couldn't have left in a hurry with just a few people.
At the very least, there may be some supplies or something, mainly gold and silver treasures, after all, if you don't have enough financial resources, your life will not be much better.
Staying in Chang'an, at least more than ninety percent of the soldiers have become victims of delaying them, which is very Li Ru.
Sure enough, after half an hour, I finally found a secret passage. Along the secret passage all the way to the west, in a dry well outside the city, I climbed smoothly along the hollow in the wall that was easy to climb and could be left behind.
"So, you didn't call us when we came out?" Liu Tao looked at the four people in front of him, namely Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, Fan Chou and Hu Zhen.
With more than 100 soldiers behind them, they were supposed to be able to stand on top of the dry well and use the terrain to stop themselves. But they didn't do that, they just stood there silently.
"We don't plan to be enemies with the general, the military advisor said before leaving, the general's goal is only the Dong family, and it will not affect others, so let's surrender here." Hu Zhen, who held the highest position, stepped forward and explained their purpose.
Hu Zhen, Liu Tao doesn't know much about him, only that he is a general under Dong Zhuo. I don't know how strong it is, but the experienced ones are certain, and they should belong to the mainstream generals.
Xu Rong is good at using cavalry, good at ambush and good at training soldiers, and can defend one side; Fan Chou has the courage to be a pioneer or lead an army alone.
Finally, there is Duan Xuan, who followed Li Dao and Guo Yan into Chang'an, and as a warlord, he was seized in the area of Huayin County, Hongnong County. Later, he assisted Cao Cao to destroy Li Dao and Guo Yan, and joined the imperial court, increasing his official position all the way to the knighthood.
Dong Zhuo's last family background is almost all here...... Liu Tao began to get a little entangled.
