Chapter 576: The grain is burned
Many of the treasures in the vault came from their own pockets.
At that time, the excavation of the emperor's tomb on the mountain north of Luoyang was carried out by Lu Bu's Bingzhou army.
But that's just a fraction of what is now in the vault.
After so many years of Dong Zhuo's accumulation, Meiwu's wealth is amazing.
"My lord, we have made a fortune." Seeing the treasures piled up in Shishan, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, Wei Yue and others were all moved, and their eyes were extremely hot.
The same is true for Lu Bu, now that Dong Zhuo's treasure house that has been amassing wealth for so long belongs to him, he is also excited and excited.
"Hahaha good, great, with all this money, why worry that I and the state army will not grow." Lu Bu laughed unscrupulously, and said secretly, sure enough, it was cool to do it alone.
Following behind others can only take a small fraction, Dong Zhuo rewards a little.
Now you can have as much as you want, and the benefits of power are nothing more than that.
At this moment, Lu Bu was even more determined in his plan to overthrow Li Ru and become the master of Chang'an.
Ambition grows with the rise of money status.
"Congratulations, my lord!"
Everyone hugged their fists and congratulated.
At this moment, Gao Shun suddenly broke in, hugged his fists and said: "The lord is not good, the granary in the city is on fire." ”
"What?" Lu Bu was shocked, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and his originally hot heart suddenly cooled by half.
Gao Shun said: "Suddenly many places in the city were ignited, and the fire quickly spread in the city, affecting the granary, please send a large army to fight the fire." ”
"Humph! What are you doing to eat, you can't even look at the granary. Lu Bu snorted coldly and said with great dissatisfaction, and then said: "Wei Xu looked at the vault, and the others immediately led the troops to put out the fire, and there must be no mistake." ”
Gao Shun lowered his head, feeling bitter in his heart.
His trapping camp is not suitable for duty in the first place, and you let his hoplites guard the granary with a few hundred people, which is not to embarrass them.
The Xiliang army in the city has not been cleared yet, everyone has come to the treasury, how can you let him maintain law and order in the city.
But Gao Shun didn't like to argue, and he just stepped aside and let everyone go first.
When Lu Bu and his people rushed to the granary, the fire inflicted on most of the granary.
The state army immediately carried water to put out the fire, but in the end they couldn't save much, and more than ninety percent of them were engulfed in the fire and burned to char.
Of course, there was not only one granary in the city, but it was divided into five in the south, east, west, and north, but all of them were set on fire without exception, and most of the buildings in the city were also implicated and burned.
A good Meiwu fort, half of the buildings were burned down and turned into ruins.
"Damn!"
Lu Bu was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet, these grains were more important than the money in the treasury.
After all, in this era, there are soldiers when there is food, and only when there are soldiers can they have power.
Food can be exchanged for money, but money may not necessarily be exchanged for food.
Originally, he could have used this to recruit troops and sell horses to the vicinity, and directly expand and pull up a team of more than 10,000 people, and Meiwu could be his nest in the future.
As a result, most of the food was destroyed, which was a major setback for his development.
"Someone will kill all the people of the Dong clan, it will be a good thing for me, and none of you will survive." Lu Bu punched the desk and said through gritted teeth.
"It's the lord!"
Seeing that his subordinates had all gone down, Lu Bu asked Wu Zilan to come over again.
After the Meiwu incident, Lu Bu trusted Wu Zilan even more, and recognized Wu Zi's suggestion even more.
Soon Wu Zilan came over with a smile.
Everything is in the plan, perfect development, Wu Zilan's mood is naturally very good, and just now he knew from Lu Bu's subordinates that Lu Bu was going to kill all Dong Zhuo's clansmen.
At this time, there is no possibility of any reconciliation between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu could only go one way to the dark, even if he knew that Dong Zhuo was still alive, there was no other way out, so he could only be at their mercy.
Lu Bu asked: "General Wu, now we have fought Meiwu, but unfortunately most of the food has been burned, and some have been saved, but it is not much, it is only enough for tens of thousands of troops, and it is extremely difficult to support hundreds of thousands of troops in the future, do you have any good suggestions." ”
Wu Zilan already had a draft, and said: "General Lu, when taking advantage of the great victory of our army, the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, and it is a safe plan to attack Chang'an overnight, and it is a safe plan to take Chang'an. ”
Lu Bu also had this intention, so he said: "Okay! Then our army is working hard and going east overnight. ”
Lu Bu also agreed with this plan, and immediately recruited Hao Meng, asked him to lead troops to guard in Zaimeiwu, and helped him see the vault.
Hao Meng was arrogant and overjoyed to accept the order, which made Boss Wei Xu unhappy.
It stands to reason that he Wei Xu is Lu Bu's closest general, after all, the two are related by marriage.
But Lu Bu has Lu Bu's considerations.
Wei Xu returned to his relatives, but his ability to lead the army to fight is not as good as Hao Meng, Hao Meng is now the only general under Lu Bu who can command the army alone, although the martial arts are not very good, but the ability to transfer troops and arrange formations is not weak, and it is better for him to defend the city.
As for trust, Lu Bu naturally thinks that he is the lord of the generals, and everyone should serve him loyally, and how can he consider who will betray him.
They are all brothers who have died, except for Gao Shun, who is always an eyesore, he is very relieved to everyone.
…………
"Bang!" With a heavy blow, Dong Zhuo's beard trembled with anger, and he scolded angrily:
"What a wolf-hearted Lu Bu, he actually colluded with outsiders to rebel after eating inside and out, but fortunately, I have always kept an eye on him, and now it has come true, this is a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed."
Lu Bu went east, and Dong Zhuo knew about the attack on Meiwu.
Dong Zhuo was extremely angry, and he pretended to be sick and poisoned, and suddenly wiped out a big fish hidden beside him.
"Prime Minister, Lu Bu's disloyalty has been confirmed, he should immediately send a large army to besiege and kill, and at the same time, he should pay attention to his internal response in the city, if there is no important minister in the court to collude with him, Lu Bu will not dare to be the first to stand up against the prime minister so boldly." Li Ru suggested.
Dong Zhuo said: "Who to send, you know the force of Lu Bu's dog, ordinary people are not his opponents, and the state soldiers and horses are light horses, if they can't be surrounded, it is easy for this white-eyed wolf to escape." ”
Lu Bu's bravery, Dong Zhuo understands it best.
Li Ru said: "Please send the prime minister to send Zili to go, the only general in Chang'an City who can compete with Lu Bu is only Zili, supplemented by Li Dao, with an army of 20,000, I think now Lu Bu is eager to attack Meiwu, and he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and be exhausted, and when our army arrives, Lu Bu will be defeated." ”
Dong Zhuo hesitated a little, knocked on the table and said: "Who will protect my safety if Zili goes, or I will go in person, take Zili, and dispatch an army of 40,000 to destroy Lu Bu first, and then return to the city to clean up those Han loyal ministers in the court." ”
Li Ru said: "Prime Minister can't, if you show up in advance, those guys who hide their heads and tails will not be fooled, and those hidden in our army who are lured and persuaded by them will continue to hide, and it will be even more difficult for the prime minister to find these disloyal people next time." ”
