Chapter 345: A Deal from Dong Zhuo
Lu Bu looked straight ahead lightly, and after taking a sip of tea, he opened his mouth and said.
"General Niu is not worried. The father-in-law has ordered General Niu to withdraw his troops to Chang'an. ”
Hearing the word withdrawal, Niu Fu's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he frowned again, looking like he didn't know why.
"Chang'an? Why not withdraw to Luoyang? According to General Li's information, isn't this Tongguan still recaptured? ”
"The righteous father has already left Luoyang with the saint and the hundred officials of the imperial court, and led the army to Chang'an. And the father-in-law did not take the people of Luoyang away, and without the burden of nearly a million people, there is no need to take the route of Tongguan. ”
"Don't take the people of Luoyang away? However, Chang'an's population is extremely small, and without these millions of people, it would be difficult for Chang'an to show the glory of Kyoto. ”
"At this time and that time, it is natural for the righteous father to do this. Moreover, as long as there is a place where the saints are present today, it will still be Kyoto regardless of the size of the population, whether it is prosperous or not. Moreover, the father-in-law is only temporarily retreating, and after a year of recuperation, he will send a large army to retake Luoyang! ”
Of course, Lu Bu would not say that it was because of his own mistakes that Luoyang was attacked by Cao Cao's righteous army of the Right Alliance. pretending to be unfathomable, he was stunned and nodded his head.
Feng Xian was right, and his father-in-law's decision must have a deep meaning. When, then, can we withdraw our troops? ”
"There is no need to be in a hurry, now that we hastily withdraw our troops, we will definitely be chased by Yuan Shao's thief army. In this regard, the military division has already taken countermeasures, and General Niu can act according to the plan. ”
"Hmm. So much better. ”
Niu Fu nodded heavily, his ability to march and fight is not bad, but once he encounters a place where he needs to use his brain, he will be caught off guard. Since Li Ru has already instructed, he is happy to do so.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shaogang gathered all the princes of the Left League, and suddenly a scout ran into the tent, walked to Yuan Shao's side in full view, and reported Yuan Shao in a low voice.
"There is a man outside, who came to the village on horseback, to see the general and say that he has something important to talk about."
Yuan Shao frowned, and after thinking for a while, he still cast a look at the scout, and then after finding some excuses to say goodbye to the princes, he walked out of the tent and waited in a hidden tent somewhere.
After a while, a large man who was not wearing armor, but was dressed lightly, walked into the tent. Yuan Shao recognized this person at a glance. This person is Dong Zhuo's favorite general Li Dao.
Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and asked with a cold face.
"The Tao is different, not the same. Thou art with my great camp. Aren't you afraid that I will cut off your head with a knife? ”
Li Xuan laughed, as if he hadn't heard Sun Jian's threat.
"Hehe, Yuan Meng's master is broad-minded, is it possible that there is no room for a Li Zhiran? This time, I risked death because I wanted to discuss two things with Yuan Meng. ”
"Oh, let's hear it."
"The first is a joyous event. Although there were some misunderstandings in the old days, Xiangguo knew that the general was loyal and martyred, and he was instigated for a while, so he never blamed the general, but because the general misunderstood him deeply, he was heartbroken day and night. Today, the special envoy has come to get married, and the misunderstanding has been resolved. Xiangguo has a daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, the country is fragrant, and she wants to be a concubine with a general. I don't know what the general wants? ”
Yuan Shao thought that Li Zhuogou could squirt out some ivory from his mouth, but he didn't expect that he wanted to persuade him to be in cahoots with Dong Zhuo, so he immediately pointed at Li Zhuo with a furious face and scolded.
"Dong Zhuo is a wolf and brutal, overthrowing the royal family and harming the people. I Yuan Ben was eager to raze his nine clans to thank the world! Anken marries the daughter of Dong Dog! You better watch your words! If there is another gaffe, the bones will be shattered! ”
"General Yuan is so majestic. Panic. The second thing next is a bad thing, but I also ask General Yuan to listen quietly and finish speaking.
If the news is good, these eighteen princes had an alliance when the alliance was formed? This alliance should be, General Yuan and Cao Cao's traitor, the left and right alliances, who will attack Luoyang first, who will be the leader of this alliance? ”
"So what?! If so, then you are ready to ask Dong Zhuo to collect your body. ”
"Hehe, General Yuan is really angry. Urging came with some kindness. General Yuan knows that now Luoyang has fallen into the hands of Cao Mengde's traitor! ”
Yuan Shao's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart suddenly seemed to set off ten thousand waves, and his face was changing rapidly. Li Xun looked at Yuan Shao's face, his eyes were full of gloom, and he secretly said that as Li Ru said, this Yuan Shao would definitely not gladly accept this result.
In Yuan Shao's mind, Cao Cao's face was constantly revealed, and then Cao Cao's arrogant appearance instructed him Yuan Benchu. Then there is the scene where Cao Cao condescends and insults him.
Yuan Shao's face slowly became hideous, his fists were clenched tightly, and his steel teeth were bitten unconsciously, as if he was bubbling with fire, and this fire was still heating up violently.
"What does Dong Zhuo want, be refreshed!"
"Lord Xiangguo, I want to form an alliance with General Yuan, take their own benefits, and complement each other."
"No way. Dong Zhuo's evil deeds were spurned by the people of the world, and I was in cahoots with him, doing all kinds of harm but no benefit! ”
Xiangguo also knew that General Yuan was loyal and righteous, and he was unwilling to force it. Therefore, let me prepare countless treasures and gold silks, the value of which is enough to buy ten cities. With these treasures and gold silks, General Yuan could recruit troops on a large scale, equip soldiers and horses, and expand his power. General Yuan, in fact, if you think about it, this general alliance leader is just a name, and once the alliance is dissolved, this general alliance leader will no longer exist.
On the contrary, isn't it more realistic that these treasures and golden silks can expand their power and allow General Yuan to quickly become a hegemon in the future? ”
"Hmph, don't say it so nicely. What does Dong Zhuo need me to do for him? ”
"It's not difficult. As long as General Yuan lets our army leave, you can get this treasure and gold silk worth ten cities, as well as the daughter of Lord Xiangguo. It's worth it. ”
"How many women I want from Yuan at the beginning, Dong Zhuo's daughter is not uncommon, let him keep it for himself. This treasure is hidden in one place, and after I get it, I will do my own thing. ”
Dong Zhuo married his daughter to him Yuan Benchu, and he didn't have a good heart at all. Yuan Shao knew that Dong Zhuo's move was to pull himself onto his thief ship. Yuan Shao was not stupid or greedy for temporary beauty, so he refused this family affair without hesitation.
"General Yuan and Xiangguo's girl are talented and beautiful, it's a pity not to get married. However, since General Yuan refused, he didn't dare to force it. In this way, the urging people to bury these treasures and gold silks in the nearby forests, and then urge the people to make a mark, and hope that after General Yuan obtains it, he will fulfill it as promised. ”
"I have my own measure, and it is not advisable for you to stay here for a long time, so as not to be recognized, and I will not be able to protect you then!"
Yuan Shao glanced at Li Shao with a gloomy face, but Li Xuan smiled, and after saluting Yuan Shaoshi very respectfully, he walked out of the tent.
Yuan Shao closed his eyes and exhaled a hot breath repeatedly.
"Cao Mengde, how about letting you be the leader of the alliance for a few days? As long as I get enough benefits, I will win from beginning to end! ”
At this time, Yuan Shao had already made up his mind to leave, but he couldn't do the position of the leader of the general alliance, and it was meaningless for him to stay in Yishi, so it was better to go back to Hanoi with the treasure and gold silk given by Dong Zhuo to expand his power and seek a great cause.
Soon after Li Xun left, Yuan Shao walked out of the tent, and after he left, he changed his previous active attitude, and deliberately delayed the war with the excuse that the soldiers had been fighting for many days, which was already tired.
After Li urged back, he asked people to hide the boxes of treasures and gold silks secretly transported by Lu Bu in a certain forest, mark them, and then send someone to secretly notify Yuan Shao to pick them up late at night. Yuan Shao personally took a team of soldiers and horses to fetch it, and his sneaky whereabouts happened to be discovered by Liu Bei, Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shao had changed his attitude since he went out and came back today, and he felt that his appearance was suspicious, so he took the two brothers Pan and Zhang to follow.
And when Zhang Fei saw that Yuan Shao dug out boxes of heavy wooden boxes from the ground, he glared at the leopard's eyes and wanted to shout at Yuan Shao angrily. Liu Bei, who was quick to be quick-eyed, covered his mouth and stopped him in time.
After Yuan Shao's people dug out all the wooden boxes hidden in the ground, Yuan Shao asked people to open a few wooden boxes, and as soon as a few wooden boxes were opened, countless green and golden lights suddenly illuminated people, and their hearts were beating.
Liu Bei's eyes swelled with bright light, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then cast a look at Pan Feng and Zhang Fei, and left the scene with the two of them first.
After Yuan Shao took the treasure and gold silk, he also kept his word, and used various excuses to shirk the matter of leaving the army for days. And the Niu Fu army, with the buffer of these few days, has retreated all the infantry with a slower foot. And when Yuan Shao secretly informed, he couldn't suppress the princes' invitation to war
In Niu Fu's big camp, all those who stayed were cavalry.
On the coming day, Yuan Shao led the princes of the Left Alliance to attack, but Niu Fu did not do any low-grade and led the troops to withdraw. Yuan Shao immediately led the army of the Left Alliance of the Righteous Division to chase after him and cover the killing, but he did not expect that the Niu Auxiliary Army was all cavalry, first and premeditated, and the speed was fast, and only a few cavalry troops of the Left Alliance of the Righteous Division caught up.
Later, Yuan Shao was afraid of the ambush, so he collected his troops. Han Fu and Liu Dai both frowned.
"Why is there only this number of people in this Liangzhou army?"
"Yes. Did they leave in batches these days? ”
As one of the masterminds behind the scenes, Yuan Shao pretended not to hear it with an unchanged face and a heartbeat. In the distant Gongsun Zhan's array, Liu Bei squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao silently.
At this time, all the princes of the Left League were suspicious. It was the best time to blackmail this Yuan Benchu. ”
Liu Bei secretly slandered in his heart, he needed silver more than anyone else, because only with silver could soldiers and horses be formed. And with soldiers and horses in this troubled world, why worry about no territory.
However, it was said that in Luoyang, after Cao Cao's righteous teacher right alliance obtained Luoyang, it was divided into two factions for the next direction. Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others hoped to immediately pursue Dong Zhuo's army and rescue Emperor Xian of Han as soon as possible. However, Tao Qian and Zhang Yang thought that they would stay and wait for the army to join the Righteous Left Alliance, and then gather momentum to attack together.
