Chapter 203: Chaos in Valley City
The spring breeze in April blows the farmland outside the valley city, and the diligent farmers have begun their annual spring ploughing. Li Ru, who was standing at the head of the city and looking at the peaceful scene outside the city, was indifferent at this time, for him, the whole world was just the plaything of the powerful, and the people under the city were no different.
"Li Su sent a message over, saying that the lord was seriously injured by the attack at this moment in the camp, what do you say Long Jun has in mind? If you don't come to attack this good valley city, you just run to the camp to make trouble!"
"Hu Zhen is stupid, please teach me the military teacher!"
"I really don't understand? General Hu...."After speaking, Li Ru looked at Hu Zhen with a smile, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the secrets of the other party's heart, which made people shudder!
Hu Zhen's scalp was numb when he was stared at by Li Ru, and there was also a consensus in the entire Xiliang Army, that is, "I would rather provoke Dong Zhuojun to be punished than look at Li Ru's smile!" Compared with Dong Zhuo's anger, Li Ru's hiding a knife in his smile was the most terrible thing in the Xiliang Army.
But it didn't take long for the general's wife to appear on Dong Zhuo's bed, and then this person was sent by Dong Zhuo to carry Beigong Boyu's army to death, but in the end, because Fan Chou's rescue was not timely, he was left with a lifelong disability and was supported by the Xiliang army, and at the same time, his wife also became Dong Zhuo's prison! This is also the reason why Hu Zhen looks down on Fan Chou, of course, Fan Chou is not to blame in this matter at all, he also tried his best to rescue the army, but he just didn't catch up!
Thinking of the past, Hu Zhen was already in a cold sweat, his trembling legs kept swinging, and finally he knelt down in front of Li Ru as if he was resigned to his fate, and explained in a hateful voice, "That's right, Lu Bu's weapon was selected for him, and it was because my brothers in my battalion killed him in the first battle of Gucheng, and I also want him to taste that helpless taste!"
"Because of a little selfishness, you dare to put aside the great cause of the lord? For the sake of that little sense of shame in your heart, you dare to murder the general of our army? Hu Zhen, I really underestimated you!" Li Ru walked to the battlements, leaned on it, tilted his head and smiled at Hu Zhen, "I think when you were captured by Lu Bu, I was still thinking about whether to save you, but now it seems that I can't save you!"
"What?" Hearing that Li Ru was willing to protect himself, Hu Zhen was overjoyed, but after thinking about it, why did Li Ru protect himself? Then he raised his head and asked suspiciously, "What does this mean, military advisor?" ”
Hearing this, Li Ru sneered, turned his head to look at the people outside the city, and explained pointedly, "In the battle of Luoyang that day, as the surrendered army of the state army, there were actually generals who could resist Zhao Yun to relieve the siege of Huaxiong, which I did not expect with the lord." In order not to make the generals of the state army bigger in our army, I had to leave you as a scourge to balance the power of the state army, so I saved you not because I need you to do anything for me, but because the lord needs your knife to suppress the state army for him, understand? ”
"Subordinates understood! Xia Guan is a knife in the hands of the lord and the military advisor, a knife against Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army!" It turned out that his survival still depended on Lu Bu and his merger army, and Hu Zhen was embarrassed to think of this! The bitterness on the face is getting more and more!
"No, no, no, it's not mine, it's the lord's! And I don't want you to target Lu Bu, after all, we still need him to deal with Long Jun, with Long Jun here, you can target the state army! See what I mean? ”
"Whoa!"
After dealing with Hu Zhen, Li Ru walked down the city wall lightly, for him Hu Zhen is just a chess piece, the ultimate goal is to use the conflict between Hu Zhen and Zhang Liao to lure out the dead soldiers of the Long family hiding in the shadows. In the first battle of the Imperial City, everyone knew that Long Jun secretly had a team of killers, this group of people was just like the killers of the Qing Party back then, walking in the dark was unguardable, if this group of people appeared from Gucheng and took the opportunity to destroy the logistics of the Xiliang Army, the result can be imagined! So this time, he not only brought the two leading actors Zhang Liao and Hu Zhen, but even secretly brought Hua Xiong and the Blood Bear Army here, in order to completely eliminate these killers!
But for many days, Hu Zhen not only did not make any trouble, but took special care of the Bingzhou army in terms of military supplies, as if he had forgotten the hatred of the captives, which made the three days that Li Ru promised Dong Zhuo instantly become a joke, so Li Ru could only pierce the window paper of the Battle of Luoyang and let Hu Zhen enter the trap himself, otherwise the scene that happened in the camp of the Xiliang Army would not have appeared in Gucheng!
At the same time, after Li Ru went down to the city, Bai Yu, who was working under the wall, took a deep look at Li Ru's back, turned around and disappeared into the crowd, but his actions were also bumped into by Hu Zhen who was walking behind Li Ru! The praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch were behind, Hu Zhen glanced at Bai Yu's back with a sneer, and slowly walked towards the state army camp!
"Bang", just as the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were enjoying lunch in the camp, a group of angry Xiliang soldiers kicked open the camp under the leadership of Hu Zhen and broke in, which made Zhang Liao, who was sitting around the soldiers, puzzled, so he stood up and walked forward, pointed to the broken camp gate and asked coldly, "General Hu, what does this mean?" ”
"Heh, what do you mean? Zhang Liao will ask you, why did the meals of the soldiers of our battalion today change from refined grain to bran rice? At the beginning, Lao Tzu kindly gave you a thousand stones of fine food, and now you are in charge of logistics and military supplies, so you are so cruel to Lao Tzu's brother? If you don't have meat, it's just that, you actually fool Lao Tzu with the rice of the dregs, what are you doing when I am nonsense? Untouchables outside the city? ”
"This...."For a while, Zhang Liao was speechless when questioned, and his face turned red. In fact, this can't be blamed on Zhang Liao, when they came to Gucheng that day, Li Ru prepared two kinds of rations, in order to let Hu Zhen take advantage of this to make a living, but because there was a ghost in his heart, Hu Zhen divided the fine food prepared by Li Ru and the Bingzhou army equally! But when the Bingzhou army took over the logistics today, there was no refined grain in the warehouse, so Zhang Liao could only take out the leftover bran rice and distribute it to various departments, which is why Zhang Liao appeared here to eat with the soldiers! I was afraid that my brothers would think about it, but I never thought that the state army had no complaints about it, but something went wrong with Hu Zhen!
In desperation, Zhang Liao could only carefully explain the truth of the matter to Hu Zhen, but Hu Zhen, who already knew Li Ru's purpose, how could he let Zhang Liao go so easily, without waiting for Zhang Liao to finish explaining, under his instruction, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army rushed directly into the other party's room and began to smash.
In the face of such humiliation from the other party, how could the state army swallow its anger? So under Hu Zhen's iron fist, Zhang Liao angrily fought back, and the battle between the two battalions began. After waiting for an hour, the battle between the two battalions had turned into a battle between the two armies, and the 6,000 soldiers who followed Li Ru were divided into two factions and started a unique brawl in the valley city!
"Xiliang barbarian, Lao Tzu will let you see what it means to be a father hammering son today, the more you fight, the more filial piety you become!"
"Fuck you! You group of earth balls from the state, Lao Tzu has to clean up you today, don't think that you can ride on the head of our Xiliang army with General Lu!"
The battle between the two armies soon turned the whole Gucheng upside down, the people were miserable, and some treacherous and sneaky people took advantage of this to break into the houses to burn, kill and loot, and these Li Ru, who was in the county magistrate's mansion, knew it well, just as he regarded the people as playthings, and did not care about the lawsuit of the Gucheng county magistrate, and said to him with a smile: "Please rest assured, the county commander, I will order someone to call the commanders of the two armies to be severely punished!"
Having said that, there was no news from the person sent by Li Ru for a long time, and he himself was still sitting there lightly, fiddling with the secret letter sent by Hu Zhen in his hand and smiling silently. Seeing this, Dong Qiu knew that Li Ru was just prevaricating himself, although he didn't know what his purpose was, but when he thought that his family was still suffering in the city, in desperation, Dong Qiu asked Li Ru again to severely punish Hu Zhen and Zhang Liao, but this time Li Ru didn't even say a word, and then waved one more person out of the guards!
Three hours later, the secret letter in Li Ru's hand had been turned into waste paper by him, and the guards who let it out were only the last person left, looking at Dong Qiu anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, Li Ru pursed his lips disdainfully, and then stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Lord Dong, please forgive me for not being strict in discipline in this matter, and I will personally go to arrest these two bastards!" I hope that Master Dong can look at the face of the same surname as my father-in-law, and don't pursue it too much!"
"Good, good! Then the next official will give birth to Lao Xie Wen first!" Dong Qiu, who is not held accountable, doesn't care anymore, anyway, this Gucheng is not a place where he can call the shots, he only hopes that nothing will happen to his family now, otherwise the county order that he asked his brother Dong Cheng to buy for help will be empty!
Seeing Dong Qiu so acquainted, Li Ru chuckled and walked out with the last guard, but before he could go out, one of Dong Qiu's subordinates suddenly burst out and went straight to Li Ru!
"There are assassins, protect the military division!"
This guard was not the last of Li Ru's guards, and when he was the killer of the second place, he found out. But now Li Ru is still as before, there are more than a dozen personal soldiers guarding, and now there is only this one guard by his side, how can he resist the attack of the killer, looking at the increasingly approaching broken blade, Li Ru closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate and said secretly, "My life is over!"
After a "poof" sound, blood gushed out and fell on Li Ru's face, and when he opened his eyes blankly, the scene in front of him may not be forgotten in his life, Li Liu, who was still shouting in his ear just now, "protect the military division", leaned on his shoulder, full of ferocity, and the killer on the opposite side was pierced through his chest by one of them, and both were killed!
"Six Sons !!!"
"Little Liuzi... Many... Thanks a lot... Thank... Xie Junshi... Name-giving... Name... Before the words fell, Li Liu hung his head in a daze, and there was no trace of breath!
Faced with this situation, Dong Qiu and the others who had already been frightened and scattered feces and urine, and the killers who came out of his subordinates, how should he explain to Li Ru and explain to Dong Zhuo?
Without waiting for him to speak, Li Ru, who was holding Li Liu's corpse, slowly turned his head and asked flatly, "Don't you want to give me an explanation?" ”
"Li Junshi ....."
"Forget it!" Without waiting for Dong Qiu to finish speaking, Li Ru sneered and shook his head, then stretched out his tongue and licked the blood on his lips, and said strangely, "What's the use of explaining?" My brother is dead, and since he is dead, he must have some burial, right? ”
Looking at the guards outside the mansion who were called by Li Liu, Li Ru glanced at Dong Qiu inexplicably, and then said with a smile: "Pass on my order, there is a rebel party hidden in Gucheng, as the head of the county, if you don't pay attention to it, you should be beheaded, and you should be killed, and your family will be wiped out!" Kill!"
"Whoa!"
