Chapter 528: Sizhou has the surname Dong

In the face of the encirclement and interception of 100,000 elite Han elites, less than 150,000 of the 200,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war finally escaped the Dagu Pass alive.

The pursuit of the Han army continued, and Dagu Pass naturally became the first barrier against the Han army.

But people are not as good as heaven, although the ability of the Dagu Pass guards is not good, after breaking the pass, they destroyed all the city defense equipment, which greatly reduced the defense of Dagu Pass.

Although Xiang Yu knew that Dagu Pass could not be defended for a long time, he still left 20,000 dead soldiers to delay time, while he led most of the people to slowly retreat to Yanzhou, and was preparing to arrange a second line of defense at the site of Tiger Prison Pass.

Xiang Yu knew that the Han army would not let them escape back to Yanzhou safely, and Dagu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass would not last long, but now he could only do his best, and how much could he escape in the end!

In front of Dagu Pass, the Han army camp, and Lu Zhi's big tent.

Hearing that the rest of the generals were opposed to attacking the city immediately, Li Shimin stood up with a cold face and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Governor, the last general thinks that he should take advantage of the fact that the rebellious foothold is not stable, and recapture the Dagu Pass in one go, and it will be difficult to take the pass if he hesitates."

Seeing that someone stood up and sang the opposite, Lu Zhi rubbed his temples with a headache and said: "General Li naturally knows what the Benzhou Mu said, but the siege machinery has not yet arrived, and it is difficult to attack Dagu Pass rashly." ”

Yang Jian also retorted with a displeased face at this time: "The difference between Zhou Mu's words, with the combat strength of those prisoners of war, how can he be the opponent of my elite Han?" ”

"That's right."

Li Shimin nodded and continued to add: "Xiang Yu is not in Dagu Pass, as long as our army concentrates elite troops and strong generals to carry out a fierce attack, even if we don't rely on equipment, we can recapture Dagu Pass." ”

"This?"

Lu Zhi's face suddenly flashed a trace of waver, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "Benzhou Mu thinks it's better to seek stability, as long as you wait for a day or two for the siege equipment to arrive, why take this risk?" ”

Lu Zhi's procrastination made Yang Jian very dissatisfied, and immediately shouted: "Lord Zhou Mu, if you wait, Xiang Yuke will run away." ”

Seeing that Yang Jian dared to speak disrespectfully to the state pastor, Lu Zhi's subordinates immediately said angrily: "Presumptuous, Yang Jian, pay attention to your attitude, how can you talk to the state pastor?" ”

Yang Jian's eyes suddenly surged with anger, and he just wanted to scold back but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Presumptuous, how can Yang Taishou be called by his name by your first lieutenant?"

Under Li Shimin's cold gaze, the captain flinched, but Li Shimin was not ready to let him go.

"Yuanba, throw this person out!" Li Shimin said lightly.

"Okay, second brother!"

"You, what are you going to do? No...... Yes! ”

Under the gaze of all the generals, Li Yuanba threw Lu Zhi's henchmen out in such a grand manner, which was simply slapping Lu Zhi in the face.

No one dared to stand up and speak now, and Lu Zhi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, but he had no way to deal with Li Shimin and Li Yuanba.

Li Shimin and Yang Jian both came to seek revenge on Xiang Yu, and the two also knew that Lu Zhi didn't want to have unnecessary casualties, but the only possibility of letting Xiang Yu escape was non-negotiable.

Li Shimin knew that he had done some mistakes, but now that Liwei's purpose had been achieved, he naturally wouldn't really tear his face with Lu Zhi.

Li Shimin immediately bowed and said respectfully: "My lord, my Li and Yang families and Xiang Yu have a deep blood feud, and now the enemy is close at hand, the last general and Yang Taishou are indeed a little out of control, please forgive me." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin gave him a step, Lu Zhi's face finally improved a little when he heard this, but he was even more jealous of Li Shimin and Yang Jian in his heart.

"We must find a way to balance the Li and Yang families, otherwise the old man will be set aside sooner or later." Lu Zhi secretly said in his heart, he has also discovered this now, but in the face of the emperors of the two dynasties, even if he knows, what can he do?

"Report ...... Qiyu Prefecture Mu, the champion Hou led 3,000 cavalry to help. ”

Lu Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quickly let the champion come in." ”

After a while, I saw Qin Hao walk into the big tent with two generals, and saluted with a smile: "Nanyang guards Qin Hao too much, and I meet Lu Zhoumu." ”

Three months ago, Lu Zhi was still Qin Hao's deputy general, but now he is a few levels higher than Qin Hao, Qin Hao naturally has no opinion on this, after all, who makes the family old and qualified?

"The virtuous nephew came just in time, since the virtuous nephew joined the army, he has gone through dozens of battles large and small, and he has never been defeated. Do you think you should take the risk of attacking immediately, or should you wait for the siege equipment to be in place before attacking? ”

Qin Hao couldn't help but curse in his heart when he heard this: Old fox, this is to use Lao Tzu to block the gun.

Before entering the account, Qin Hao also saw the captain who was thrown out, and after entering the account, seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was so solemn, it was naturally not difficult to guess what happened with Qin Hao's intelligence.

Qin Hao smiled indifferently, and then said solemnly: "My lord, Ben Hou thinks that as long as Xiang Yu can be killed, it is worth paying any price, and he must attack immediately." ”

Seeing that Qin Hao was not on his side, Lu Zhi had to nod helplessly: "Since this is the case, then let's do it." As for the main attack task, you will be in charge of it, General Shimin. ”

And Li Shimin glanced at Qin Hao gratefully, and then stood up and said in a deep voice: "No! ”

Seeing this scene, Qin Hao sighed in his heart, Lu Zhi, the state pastor, is probably the most cowardly of all the state pastors.

On the surface, Lu Zhi, who is the state pastor, is the most powerful person in Sizhou, but in fact, he has already been set aside by Li Yuan and Yang Jian.

Before Dong Zhuo left Sizhou to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, he took the initiative to 'dedicate' to the imperial court 50,000 elite troops, and it was with his 'loyalty' that Li Yuan and Yang Jian were able to serve as Taishou.

After all, Dong Zhuo has paid such a big price, if your court still doesn't express it, it will definitely be unreasonable.

In the troubled times, there is the right to have soldiers, but Dong Zhuo took the initiative to send away the military power, and many princes did not understand Dong Zhuo's behavior at that time, and they all said that Dong Zhuo's move was quite stupid.

But the result?

The 50,000 Liangzhou troops have already been branded with Dong Zhuo, as long as Dong Zhuo does not nod his head, no matter who the imperial court sends to take over, it is impossible to take away the military power from Li Shimin.

Of the 100,000 soldiers and horses left by the imperial court to garrison Sizhou, only 60,000 were really in the hands of Lu Zhi, the governor of the state, while the other 40,000 were distributed to Li Yuan and Yang Jian.

In other words, Dong Zhuo didn't pay any price, he got two Taishou positions for nothing, and he also took 40,000 military powers, which was a sure win.

Now out of the 150,000 troops in Sizhou, 90,000 belong to Dong Zhuo's faction, so Lu Zhi's life as a state pastor will naturally not be easy.

Qin Hao had already guessed that Dong Zhuo was not well-intentioned, but the Qin family and Dong Zhuo both belonged to the Kansai faction, and in Qin Hao's opinion, there was nothing wrong with coming to Dong again.

"Zhang Jiao has completely destroyed the foundation of the Great Han, so let Dong Zhuo tear off the last fig leaf of the Great Han." Qin Hao thought so in his heart.
