With a command, the generals of Lu Yi began to launch an attack on the city of Lunu.

A simple version of the trebuchet, Liu Bei also obtained.

That's why Koji also brought these ordnance.

One after another trebuchets were pulled under the city, and then began to bombard, countless stone bullets fell down, and the city defense of Lunu City was a little shaky.

Although the city wall was strong, it was also loose and collapsed.

There was a hint of smugness on Koji's confident face.

In fact, he likes to fight with ordnance the most, and this is the case for the first to die, and the same is true for sieges.

If the ordnance is well arranged, the war is easy.

Therefore, Lu Yi has always suggested that Liu Bei send a secret son to Donglai to learn to steal equipment and strive to learn all the science and technology of Xu Ding.

Instead of exchanging techniques with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan and others.

"It's pretty much there." Lu Yi drew his sword and pointed at Lunu City again, and his soldiers let out a shout of killing, and then rushed to the north gate of Lunu City.

"Have you remembered the location, is the mark accurate?" Sun Guan in the city asked his subordinates.

A lieutenant stood up and said, "Back to the general, if the angle of our army's trebuchet is good, it will definitely hit with one blow." ”

"Okay! Then let's launch, let Koji Yi have a long memory, play with catapults, we are the first. ”

It turned out that Sun Guan also had trebuchets here, but it was useless to keep it there, but he waited for Lu Yi to launch a real attack before taking it out.

Soon, the trebuchet in the city was controlled by a skilled operator and fired one stone projectile after another.

Looking at the stone bullets thrown out of the air, Lu Yi and the generals opened their eyes wide, and then they remembered that the Donglai army also had trebuchets.

He was the first to come out of retro.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The trebuchet position of Koji was suddenly destroyed by a wave of dense stone projectiles, and none of them were spared.

The other party's coverage and accuracy are far superior to theirs.

"Damn it!"

Lu Yi couldn't help but scold angrily and was annoyed, looking at the trebuchet of his own side who had become scum, even if he regretted it later, it would be useless.

"Attack! Increase the troops, kill it at once, and be sure to capture the trebuchets of the Donglai army. ”

Inside the city. The stone bullets fired were so neat and uniform that none of them were crooked.

Here's how to do it.

Koji couldn't help but be curious and puzzled.

Without the trebuchet of Koji, Sun Guan's trebuchet struck more calmly, and intercepted and attacked the Koji Yi Department in a segmented manner.

For a while, it also made Lu Yi's troops cry bitterly, and they were so frightened that they frequently dodged.

Soon the siege troops of Koji Yi came to the city.

Ascend the dead first, and immediately raise your crossbow and shoot.

Countless bolts flew up like locusts.

Just as they were about to smash stones, the soldiers of the Ninth Army who had lost the sassal wood were hit by arrows and retreated into the wall.

"Up!"

There was the cover of the crossbowmen who had ascended the dead first, and the Koji tribe who carried the ladder on their shoulders set up the ladder on the wall.

With a knife in his mouth, he climbed.

"Pour oil on my fire!" Sun Guan personally picked up a pot of hot oil and poured it down the city.

The hot oil splashed, and the koji tribes under the city were burned and screamed miserably.

Then the torches were dropped from the city.

Poof, the fire spread all around.

Then pots of hot oil spilled down one after another, and the city was lit everywhere.

"Crossbowmen, give me a counterattack!"

Taking advantage of this rhythm being disrupted, Sun Guan immediately ordered the few crossbowmen of the Ninth Army to rush to the battlements, and then shoot arrows at the crossbowmen who first ascended under the city.

"Puff puff ......"

Countless of the first dead men were shot and fell to the ground, but many more of them were not disturbed by the fire and the fire of the crossbowmen in the city, and held on to the city, and then shot arrows at the ninth soldier in the city.

The crossbow arrows of both sides flew at each other above and below the city.

There were many casualties on both sides, and the number of people dropped sharply.

The number of first-mounted dead soldiers was much higher than the crossbowmen of the Third Army.

Soon the crossbowmen of the Third Army under the city could not hold on.

Sun Guan could only mobilize archers to shoot and suppress.

The first to die is worthy of being the most elite army in Luyi, and it is also worthy of being a world-famous strong army.

Qiang fought back frantically under the city, and still stood still outside the city, providing support to friendly forces and counter-suppressing the city.

Soon the troops ascended and sent a ladder to jump into the city wall.

"Kill!" Sun Guan swung his sword and stabbed a soldier with a broad knife to the battlement, and then struck and kicked the person down the city.

Then a sword stabbed at the ladder pole, causing a force.

The ladder went down in the direction of the outside of the city.

The people on the ladder let out a scream and slammed into the ground below.

In order to dare to fight and take the lead, the other soldiers of the Ninth Army were not willing to be left behind, and clenched the weapons in their hands to expel and slash the enemy soldiers who climbed up.

"Humph! Let our army climb up to the city, and you still want to drive it down, it is impossible. Lu Yi snorted coldly, and was about to order the whole army to go out and explode troops at the head of the city.

At this time, someone hurriedly came to report.

"Hug! To the south of the lord came an enemy army, numbering about four or five thousand. ”

"Hmmm! The Donglai army came from the south. Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then stared at the south, and the next moment, the Donglai army rushed over.

The banner is the banner of the Eighth Captain's Army.

"The Eighth Captain's Army, Xu Ding waved down Zhang Bao's army, and the Yellow Turban thieves who increased their warp." A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Lu Yi's face, and then he said: "The rabble, come and give an order, continue to strengthen the siege force, and you can't stop for a moment, be sure to take Lunu City for me." Come and kill Zhang Bao with me! ”

Soon, Lu Yi gathered 3,000 men and horses, and directly killed the rushing Eighth Captain's army.

…………

Guanzhong!

Cao Cao's army entered Hangu Pass and was then supported by Duan Xuan, the general of Huayin.

The last line of defense held Guanzhong was broken.

The mighty Kwantung army stepped into the land of Guanzhong and opened the attack with the generals of Xiliang.

At this time, how did Guanzhong react, and the surroundings of Chang'an City were already in chaos.

Because before Cao Cao sent his troops, a strange thing happened on the Great Wall.

The son of Dong Zhuo, who Li Ru tried to stand up, was poisoned.

This pale, frail and sickly, like Liu Fufeng's eldest son, never got up after falling asleep.

"My lord, the eldest prince died of poisoning."

The post-mortem officer simply looked through the corpse, and then retreated to report to Li Ruyu.

Li Ru said: "Are you sure?" ”

"It's true, this poisoning kung fu is not famous." Packing the ticket.

Li Ru's gloomy face was as cold as frost, and he waved his hand to let him go down.

"Sir, do you want to check all the people in the mansion?" Dong Jin asked, his hand clasped on the hilt of his sword.

The dignified prince was poisoned in the mansion, which shows the ruthlessness of the poisoner.

Li Ru said: "There is no need, there are no more than three kinds of poisoners, one is the group of so-called loyal ministers in the court, one is the Kwantung princes, and the third is the tandem between the two."

But no matter which one it is, it doesn't make sense, the top priority now is not to catch mice, but to stabilize the situation, and someone must come out to keep the Xiliang army from dispersing. ”

"That sir, there is a suitable candidate, the prime minister only has one successor, the eldest son, and Miss Dong Bai is a woman." Dong Jin asked, thinking about it in his heart and couldn't find a candidate.

Originally, Dong Bai and Zhang Xiu got married, and they were able to give birth to an heir ten months after pregnancy, and then passed on to the eldest prince to the name of the eldest son.

Now Dong Bai's stomach has not moved, and the eldest prince was killed first.

Li Ru did not speak, but looked directly at Dong Jin.

"Sir, what have you been watching me do?" Dong Jin swept his right and left shoulders and lower body, and found that there was nothing unusual about him.

A spring-like smile appeared on Li Ru's gloomy face that had not changed for thousands of years, but his tone was still indescribably cold, and he said calmly:

"You are also surnamed Dong, and you are from the Prime Minister's clan."

"Sir, you mean to make me ......" Dong Jin seemed to understand something, but he was a little surprised and surprised, obviously Li Ru's idea was too much for him and everyone to expect.

Li Ru nodded slightly.

"No, sir, I ...... The identity is still not good, and there are many people in the prime minister's clan, such as General Dong Huang. Dong Jin said with some resistance.

Dong Huang is Dong Zhuo's nephew and Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Zhuo's only son.

With Dong Zhuo's army, Zhuo took power, made him a servant, and led the forbidden army.

After Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min was killed by Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's relatives are now only Dong Bai and Dong Huang.

Therefore, it must be selected more than the Dong family, and Dong Huang is more justified.

However, Li Ru shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Dong Huang's ability is not good, he can't control the generals, and your martial arts and strategy are outstanding, you can temporarily stabilize the generals of Xiliang, what we lack now is time, only you are suitable." ”

Dong Jin thought for a while and said, "What about the embroidery?" ”

Zhang Xiu married Dong Bai, and it stands to reason that he is half of the Dong family.

The name is more smooth.

Li Ru said: "The time is too short, and once he takes the position, Zhang Ji's status will surpass all the generals, and Guo Yan, Li Dao, Fan Chou and others will be extremely difficult to level." ”

Dong Jin was silent, saying that he didn't want it to be a problem with his head, but he could really do it, he only had 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the time to enter the Xiliang system was short, and his qualifications were shallow.

"Okay, that's it, don't think about it so much, I'll solve all the problems, and I'll come over later, I'll persuade him first, with him to support you, and others have no objections." Li Ru didn't give Dong Jin too much time to think about it, and simply set the tone.

Soon Dong Huang came over and asked, "Mr. Wen Wei, why did the eldest prince suddenly ...... Just ......"

Looking at Dong Huang's look of pity and pain, Li Ru said lightly: "The eldest prince left suddenly, and it was poisoned, now I am looking for you to come over to discuss how to appease the emotions of the generals and stabilize Guanzhong." ”

"What, the eldest prince is a middle-...... Poisoning, how is this possible, who ordered, I went to kill him. Dong Huang looked confused, followed by anger.

Li Ru said contemptuously: "I haven't found it yet, but now is not the time to pursue this matter, as soon as the eldest prince dies, there may be turmoil in Guanzhong next, and someone must stand up to replace the eldest prince to inherit the prime minister's will." ”

Speaking of this, Dong Huang raised his head sharply, obviously this information was attractive enough to him.

Li Ru paused, and then continued: "Originally, I chose you to replace the eldest prince, because you are the only nephew of the prime minister, and you are also the brother of the eldest prince, and no one is more suitable than you."

But because of this, I'm afraid that those who plot to kill the eldest prince will attack you and completely wipe out all the direct bloodlines of the prime minister, which will harm you.

So I'm also very difficult. ”

Dong Huang was overjoyed at first, a little excited, Li Ru actually wanted to push him to the top, but when he heard the back, the joy on his face gradually solidified and turned dim, and his eyebrows also shifted.

Dong Zhuo's son just died, a lesson from the past.

He is just Dong Zhuo's nephew, not to mention whether he can suppress others, even if he can, but if he can, he will be poisoned and murdered.

After enjoying the blessings of so many years, Dong Huang's courage is getting smaller and smaller the more he practiced, and he is even more desperate for his life.

Several uncles and cousins are dead, and now he is the only one left.

The Dong family can't live without him, if he dies, the Dong family can't die.

So Dong Huang was a little scared, and he didn't dare to speak silently.

"Of course, if you want to take over the position of the eldest prince, Zili and I will support you." Li Ru said tentatively.

Dong Huang hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "No! I don't want to, I have to be too weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to take over the position of the eldest prince, and I will disappoint my uncle and Mr. Wen Wei and Zili. ”

"So what to do? You don't take over who is still eligible. Seeing that Dong Huang didn't dare to answer, Dong Jin glanced at Li Ru's eyes, and finally mustered up the courage to cooperate.

Dong Huang still shook his head and said, "I don't care, whoever likes to pick it up." ”

"Otherwise, let Zhang Xiu, no matter how he says, he is also the son-in-law of the eldest son." Li Ru said in a questioning tone.

Dong Huang shook his head even bigger, and snorted coldly: "No, Zhang Xiu is also an outsider, although he took a white niece, they don't even have children, Zhang Ji is still young and prosperous, and they will not all return to the Zhang family in the future." ”

After speaking, Dong Huang felt as if he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said to Li Ru: "Mr. Wen Wei, I didn't mean to offend you, you are different from them, you are my uncle's most confidant, and we are one with the Dong family, otherwise Mr. You can come." ”

Li Ru was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile: "No, I'm just a strategist, it's okay to seek a great cause for the Dong family, but I can't do anything else." ”

After speaking, Li Ru looked at Dong Jin, and suddenly showed a suddenly realized expression, pointed at Dong Jin and said: "Zili is also from the Dong family, a talent, capable of literature and martial arts, has the merit of repelling the Huns, has the great merit of saving the prime minister, and capturing the assassin alive, if Zili can stand up, it is quite appropriate, so that the Dong family is still the Dong family, and Guanzhong is still the Dong family." ”

"I ...... I can't! Dong Jinqian conceded.

Dong Huang was reminded by Li Ru, and then saw that he kept making his eyes, and he also suddenly came back.

That's right, isn't Dong Jin also a member of my Dong family?

In terms of ability, he can, and if he takes over, his own interests can be guaranteed, and the interests of the entire Dong family can also be guaranteed.

"I think it's okay, otherwise the word will be yours, and my Dong family will have you a thousand-mile horse left, and if you don't go to the Dong family, you will really decline." Dong Huang followed Li Ru's rhythm and persuaded.

Li Ru said: "That's right, it's you, it's important to stabilize the overall situation now, as long as the situation is stabilized, when the black hand who poisoned is found out, Guanzhong is too peaceful, if you really don't want to do it, you can give it to Huang Gongzi, and then it won't be a beautiful conversation." ”

These words are really too much for Dong Huang's appetite, and it is difficult for Dong Jin to go up to the danger first, and hide behind himself first.

It's not dangerous, the situation is stable, I'm out to pick fruit, it's great.

Dong Huang secretly glanced at Li Ru, gave a thumbs up, and then said to Dong Jin: "In this way, the reason is decided, you will take over the position of the eldest prince, with me supporting you, I will see who dares not to give face to my uncle, who dares not to give face to my Dong family." ”

"This ...... Well, I'll take my place for a while, hoping to live up to the expectations of both of you. Dong Jin agreed.

With the support of Dong Huang, Dong Zhuo's nephew, the next operation will be much more convenient.
