Chapter 53: Return to Liangzhou
After sending the letter, Lu Bu waited for Qin Hua's reply.
He still agrees with Qin Hua after all, firstly, because of Qin Hua's strength, there are too few people who can fight with him for three hundred rounds.
There is also because Qin Hua was trustworthy, and he said that he would not attack Tongguan for two months, but Qin Hua did not send troops for two months.
As for the matter of attacking and annexing the state, Dong Zhuo didn't care, and Lu Bu didn't care even more.
Although he himself is a person from the state, he will not slaughter the people casually if he wants to come to Qin Hua.
Qin Hua's request was the same as before, to fight with Lu Bu alone, as long as he defeated Qin Hua within three hundred rounds, he would voluntarily withdraw from the army.
The two sides once again set up a formation under Tongguan, but compared with before, this time Qin Hua's army was only 10,000 people, and Lu Bu's army out of the city was 30,000 people, plus the soldiers standing on the city wall, it seemed extremely powerful.
Beigong Che, Gao Shun and Yan Xing, who had already healed their wounds, were ready to rescue Qin Hua at any time.
As for Ma Chao, he was placed in the Chinese army as usual and forbade him to participate in the war.
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning, and Qin Hua seemed to want to show the results of these two months of training.
Until the two sides fought for fifty rounds, Qin Hua still did not fall behind.
"Lu Fengxian is really brave, even if I practice hard for two months, I am still not your opponent."
"You Qin Xuanhu is not bad, you are much stronger than those people in Kanto."
seemed to have recognized Qin Hua's strength, and Lu Bu rarely replied to Qin Hua's words.
However, Qin Hua was a little unwilling, he had been practicing very diligently in the past two months, but he was still not Lu Bu's opponent.
Lu Bu was also very surprised by Qin Hua's growth in his heart, Qin Hua was practicing hard, and he Lu Bu was not idle, during this period of war, his strength had also improved a lot.
"So, do you want to continue?"
Lu Bu looked at Qin Hua and asked, his purpose this time was just to let Qin Hua withdraw from the army, not to divide him into life and death.
"Of course, after 300 rounds."
After speaking, Qin Hua rushed forward with the meteorite spear, compared to Lu Bu, whether it was equipment, weapons or war horses, Qin Hua was not inferior in the slightest, but the strength of the most important person was different.
After the battle had reached two hundred rounds, Lu Bu no longer had any strength, and Qin Hua, who had already been somewhat exhausted, was still unable to hold on to the next three hundred rounds.
"If Dong Zhuo asks you to loot the property of the people of Luoyang, or loot the imperial tomb, you don't want to take the order, you will be spurned by the people of the world."
As he was about to return to the camp, Qin Hua said to Lu Bu breathlessly.
Qin Hua couldn't help but feel a sense of heroic sympathy for this only opponent who could defeat him, and couldn't bear to bear the infamy he did in history.
Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, he didn't know why Qin Hua said this, although Dong Zhuo occasionally connived at his subordinates to plunder the rich families in Luoyang City, he shouldn't be able to do the matter of stealing and digging up the imperial tomb.
At this time, Lu Bu suddenly remembered that Dong Zhuo took advantage of the fact that Empress He and Emperor Ling were buried together to steal the imperial tomb.
"Did he really do it?"
Suspicious, Lu Bu turned around and returned to Tongguan.
Qin Hua was also very obedient, and the next day he saw that the camp outside Tongguan was crowded, and Qin Hua's army was about to set off.
Time goes back to ten days ago, when because Dong Zhuo killed the Yuan family, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers led the coalition army to launch a fierce attack on Tiger Prison Pass.
But after many battles, the Tiger Prison Pass was still firmly in Dong Zhuo's hands.
The revenge of the two gradually cooled down, and because of the question of who attacked the city and who pressed the formation, contradictions began to arise within the coalition army, and the war quieted down, and a large-scale battle would only occur every three or five days.
Although the alliance of princes has been unable to capture the Tiger Prison Pass for a long time, Dong Zhuo's heart is very worried, the alliance of the princes has a steady stream of soldiers, and Dong Zhuo is worried that one day they will capture the Tiger Pass.
"Don't panic, if the lord is worried, why not move the capital to Chang'an."
"Chang'an? What does this mean? β
"I think the reason why the coalition army can still exist is because the lord is still in Luoyang, once the lord retreats to Chang'an, the purpose of the coalition army is achieved, and it will collapse by itself. And Chang'an has a natural danger to defend, even if the coalition forces are still pursuing, the lord does not have to worry. If the coalition forces fall apart, the lord can sit in the middle of the pass and look at the world, and sit and watch the disputes of others. β
"It's a brilliant plan."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, but soon frowned again.
"It's just that Xiliang Qin Hua has 100,000 troops, which is also a problem."
"Confucianism heard that Qin Hua and the daughter of Lord Cai Yong have been married, it is better for the lord to accept the daughter of Cai Yong as a righteous daughter, so that he can marry Qin Hua, and then he will be brought under the command of the lord. Besides, Liangzhou and the prefecture all have foreign Hu as a problem, I want Qin Hua to be able to bring 100,000 armor, but there are no more than 50,000 soldiers who can fight. β
"So very good, I have a daughter, named Dong Yuan, who is not married yet, why don't you marry that Qin Hua together, wouldn't it be better to be so close to each other?"
"The Lord is wise. The lord also sent Lu Bu to lead 50,000 troops to Tongguan, although he had in-laws, he still needed to be deterred by force. LΓΌ Bu defeated Qin Hua several times, thinking that he would lead an army of 50,000 to go, which would inevitably allow Qin Hua to return to Liangzhou. Wouldn't it be better to marry again? β
"Good."
It was because of this conversation that Lu Bu led an army of 50,000 to Tongguan.
During this period, Dong Zhuo's two henchmen, Guo Yan and Li Dao, also received Dong Zhuo's orders and began to prepare to lead the army to the passes of Chang'an.
Immediately after "persuading" Qin Hua to retreat, LΓΌ Bu received an order from Dong Zhuo to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and the army was to be led by Niu Fu, who had come to replace him.
At first, Lu Bu thought that there was a change in the Tiger Prison Pass and needed him to go to support, but after arriving in Luoyang, Lu Bu found out that Dong Zhuo really wanted him to rob the people in Luoyang City, and even went to steal the imperial tomb and the mausoleum of the court's central minister on the edge of Luoyang.
At this time, Lu Bu remembered what Qin Hua said to him before leaving, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If it is according to what Dong Zhuo said, then he will inevitably cut himself off from the world, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will also kill him quickly, and there will be no turning back.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu's hatred for Dong Zhuo deepened a little, and this person's mind was vicious.
Fortunately, at this time, the coalition forces launched an attack on Tiger Prison Pass again, and Lu Bu immediately applied for battle.
This time he met Liu Guanzhang again, and Liu Bei wanted to beckon the two younger brothers to retreat quickly when he saw Lu Bu coming.
But Zhang Fei immediately rushed forward after seeing Lu Bu, and seeing that Zhang Fei was already fighting with Lu Bu, Guan Yu naturally did not retreat, and also joined the battle group.
The two younger brothers rushed out, and Liu Bei could only grit his teeth and raise his sword and rush forward.
To their surprise, this time Lu Bu seemed to have not eaten for a few days, and his attack was weak and weak, far from the posture of the god of war that day.
After several temptations, Liu Bei immediately asked the two brothers to intensify their attacks, and it didn't take long for this man, who was like a god of war across the alliance of princes, to be injured several times.
Among them, Liu Bei's sword even made a cut on Lu Bu's face.
Seeing that Lu Bu was about to be killed by his three brothers, Liu Bei's face couldn't help but show excitement.
At this time, the number of generals joined the battle group, and they were all Lu Bu's generals.
They are Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, some of them are former Ding Yuan's subordinates, and some of them are joined by his command because they admire Lu Bu's force.
These six generals did not fight with Liu Guanzhang and the others for a long time, and after rescuing Lu Bu, they rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass.
