Volume 3 The Expedition to the Yellow Turban Chapter 155 Breakthrough (I)
Three days later.
Lu Zhi took advantage of the Yellow Turban's attack to gather everyone together and inquire about their respective casualties.
Hearing Lu Zhifa's question, Dong Zhuo pulled his face and spoke first: "There are not many people under the command of this general, and now there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people who can fight. ”
Zhu on the side also nodded and agreed: "The same is true of the general, at this time, there are not many soldiers and horses under the command of the general, so he can only barely support." ”
After the two finished speaking, Lu Zhi frowned, he didn't expect the casualties to be so large.
Then, Lu Zhi looked at Li Zhi again, hoping that he could bring him good news.
Seeing this, Li Zhi came out of the crowd and bowed his hand and said: "Qi Lu Gong, not only did the little nephew not suffer much loss, but there were 10,000 more soldiers and horses, and at this time the little nephew had more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. ”
"Huh?" When Lu Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zhi with a face full of disbelief, and asked suspiciously, "How did the virtuous nephew do it?" Why are there more and more soldiers? ”
Li Zhi smiled proudly and replied, "Duke Lu still remembers the tens of thousands of yellow scarves that were captured by his little nephew that day? ”
"Of course I remember" Lu Zhi nodded, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be that the virtuous nephew recruited these yellow scarves?" ”
"Lu Gongming is wise, that's exactly the case." Li Zhi nodded, and said smugly: "The little nephew is quite famous among the yellow turbans, and as soon as these yellow turbans heard about the reputation of the little nephew, they were afraid that the little nephew would kill them all, so they surrendered one after another.
If it weren't for the little nephew's soldiers who have been fine and sharp, I am afraid that the little nephew would have been able to exceed 100,000 troops. ”
Lu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Okay, good... The virtuous nephew is really talented! ”
As soon as Lu Zhi's voice fell, Dong Zhuo on the side scoffed, but he still remembered Li Zhi's rudeness to him when he first came.
After Dong Zhuo heard Lu Zhi's praise, he said disdainfully: "What kind of talent is this?" It's just a few tricks to recruit some thieves.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses left, Hua Xiong under the command of this general went out of the city to kill a Qu Shuai"
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Zhi intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a rough voice: "This is what a real man should do!"
Instead of being like some people, who are as timid as rats and dare not go out of the city, they will only hide in the city and use some ghostly tricks to calculate others. ”
After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Zhi with contempt, and the person he was referring to was self-evident.
When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he returned to his usual state, and replied with a smile: "General Hua is very good, and he was able to kill a Qu Shuai." ”
When he said the word "General Hua", Li Zhi accentuated his accent and signaled to everyone that it was Hua Xiong's credit and not Dong Zhuo to kill Qu Shuai.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he snorted coldly, and asked Li Zhi with a displeased face: "Hua Xiong is a subordinate of General Ben, and his credit is naturally General Ben's. ”
"Great merit?" Li Zhi laughed, looked at Dong Zhuo a little speechlessly, and said with a smile: "Does General Dong have any misunderstanding of the words "great merit"? ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhili straightened out the clothes on his body, and said loudly: "Ben Hou is not talented, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ben Hou has killed several Yellow Turban commanders.
This horn was captured alive by Ben Hou Sheng, and this credit cannot be called "great."
merit", why did General Dong boast so much just by killing a Qu Shuai, is this a bit inappropriate? ”
"Humph!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he had nothing to say, of course he knew that his credit was not as good as Li Zhi's.
But how could Dong Zhuo show weakness at this time, yes, he retorted stiffly: "The merits of the ancient townspeople in the past are all established when the enemy is weak and I am strong, how can it be compared to this general who killed the enemy general in a million-strong army?" ”
"The enemy is weak, I am strong?" When Li Zhi heard Dong Zhuo reversing right and wrong like this, he shook his head speechlessly, and did not refute, but only said that he had killed Guan Hai and others.
"What a coincidence! General Dong killed one of the Qu Shuai, and Ben Hou did not return empty-handed. ”
As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, Dong Zhuo immediately sneered: "What? Which of the little minions in the Yellow Turban did Gu Xianghou kill? Say it and make General Ben happy. ”
Dong Zhuocai didn't believe that Li Zhi could kill the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai.
Because although Dong Zhuo was above the city to defend against the enemy, he let his subordinates keep an eye on Li Zhi.
Dong Zhuo had long known that although Li Zhi had taken Zhou Cang, he did not kill him, but gave Zhou Cang to Guan Yu.
Dong Zhuo believes that Li Zhi must not have a record that can be won at this time, so Dong Zhuo is so relieved and bold to satirize Li Zhi.
After listening to Dong Zhuo's words, Guan Yu felt a little guilty in his heart, because he took Zhou Cang as a subordinate, so that Li Zhi had no record, if it weren't for this, how could Li Zhi let Dong Zhuo be so humiliated?
Thinking of this, Guan Yu was about to step forward to reason with Dong Zhuo, but he didn't want to, he just took a step and was stopped by Li Zhiyi.
Guan Yu turned his head and looked at Li Zhi again in confusion, not knowing why he was blocking him.
After Li Zhi shook his head at Guan Yu, he turned his head to Dong Zhuo and laughed loudly: "General Dong is afraid that he has misunderstood, what Ben Hou is talking about is not a little guy, but three yellow turban commanders!" ”
"Really?!" Before Dong Zhuo could react, Lu Zhi stood up abruptly and asked Li Zhi with a shocked face.
"The little nephew doesn't dare to deceive Lu Gong, that's exactly the case."
Saying that, Li Zhi opened the folding fan with a "brush", and after shaking it a few times, he said quite complacently: "The little nephew just used a small trick to kill Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, and Bian Xi. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi looked at Dong Zhuo with a shocked look on his face, and said with a smile: "I don't know if this record may be able to enter the eyes of General Dong?" ”
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and stopped talking, his face was extremely ugly.
Dong Zhuo only felt that Li Zhi was against him everywhere, he had just killed a Qu Shuai, and before he was complacent, he let Li Zhi wake up with a backhand slap.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was forced into a corner by Li Zhi, Li Ru, who was standing next to Dong Zhuo, opened his mouth to relieve Dong Zhuo and said: "We are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, no matter how many yellow scarves we kill, we are all for the service of the Han Dynasty, why do we have to be so clear?"
As long as the heart arrives, no matter how much credit is given, they are all loyal.
Besides, when the lord came, he brought an army of 100,000, left 60,000 for himself, and the rest was distributed to everyone.
In this way, isn't there also a share of the credit of the ancient townsman, and the ancient townsmen think that what they said below is reasonable? ”
When Li Zhiyan heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ru, and then, he nodded slightly and said: "What this brother said is very true, it is Meng Lang, I don't know the name of this brother?" ”
Li Ru waved his hand and said modestly: "I don't dare to be respected, but I am Li Ru and Li Wenyou, the military advisor under the command of the lord." ”
Li Zhi said in his heart when he heard this: "Sure enough, it's him!" Then he gave his hand and complimented: "I have admired the name for a long time, and I have seen Brother Wen You in Xia Li Zhi Li Xingzhi." ”
As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, Dong Zhuo sneered: "This Li Ru is the son-in-law of this general, he has always followed this general's side, he has never had any achievements, and his reputation is even more obscure. It can be seen that Gu Xianghou is really a hypocritical person! ”
"Humph!" Without waiting for Li Zhi to open his mouth to refute, Guo Jia, who was following Li Zhi, said sarcastically: "What my brother said is a modest statement, I didn't expect someone to take this statement seriously, barbarians are barbarians, and I really don't know the modest virtues of my Han!" ”
"You ......"
Just as they were sneering at each other, Lu Zhi interrupted them by interjecting: "Okay! Don't be so cynical again!
This commander summoned you here today not to show your merits, nor to watch you quarrel, but to discuss with you how to break through. ”
Lu Zhi was also very helpless at this time, this Dong Zhuo did not cultivate his morality and offended people everywhere, but he had strong strength under his command, and he had no choice but to let him do so.
And Li Zhi is a junior who he is very optimistic about, and his strength is also extraordinary, and his resourcefulness is even better, so he doesn't want to blame such a person.
Moreover, the blame for this matter lies entirely with Dong Zhuo, and it has nothing to do with Li Zhihao, if Li Zhi is reprimanded, wouldn't it be a big mistake in the world?
But let them continue to make trouble like this, I am afraid that if the yellow turban has not yet attacked, he and the others will have civil strife, and there is nothing to do, Lu Zhi can only interrupt them strongly.
When Li Zhi heard Lu Zhi's words, he reacted instantly, and also understood Lu Zhi's difficulties, and said in a good manner: "Now the firewood and grass have been prepared in the city, various traps have been arranged, and the dead have been ambushed under the firewood and grass.
In this way, as long as we break through and wait for the Yellow Turban to enter the city, we will be able to annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”
"Good." Lu Zhi nodded, and then asked Li Zhi again: "Then I don't know if the virtuous nephew has thought of the direction of the breakthrough?"
Which one do I have to stand out from in order to better ensure that my strength is not too damaged? ”
"East Gate!" Li Zhi said categorically.
Seeing that he was so sure, Lu Zhi asked with some curiosity: "Why did the virtuous nephew choose the East Gate to break through?" But what's the arrangement? ”
"That's true." Li Zhi nodded, his face relaxed, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "The little nephew has set up a military camp on a hill thirty miles away from the east gate.
This battalion is set up on the top of the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is besieged by a million army, and it can also hold on for several months, there are countless grains and grass in the battalion, dozens of wells, which can fully meet the daily consumption of the army. ”
"Good!" As soon as Li Zhigang finished speaking, Lu Zhi applauded loudly: "The virtuous nephew is really good and peaceful, and before we entered the city, he took precautions to set up such a strong place, which is really far-sighted!" ”
Seeing Lu Zhi praising himself like this, Li Zhi waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Lu Gong has a good reputation, and he just wants to do his part." ”
While the two of them were talking, the sound of war drums came from outside with a "knock knock ......".
Seeing this, Lu Zhi said helplessly: "I'll wait and defeat this wave of enemies first......
