Chapter 498: Meet Lu Bu Again
"Report." Dong Zhuo was discussing the relocation of the capital with Li Ru and several other henchmen, and the generals defending the city came to report.
"Come in." Dong Zhuo sat upright and shouted.
A burst of anxious footsteps came, making Dong Zhuo frown.
"Report to the Taishi, the flames in the Niu Fu camp are soaring, and there is a faint sound of shouting and killing, and it is expected that an enemy will come to rob the camp." The general who defended the city immediately reported the matter to Dong Zhuo after coming in.
"It must be Wang Kuang's thief, I didn't expect Wang Kuang, who has always been brave and incompetent, to dare to kill the Yellow River." Dong Zhuo slapped the table angrily, opposite Niu Fu was Wang Kuang's army, and Dong Zhuo immediately thought that it was Wang Kuang's robbery camp.
"Niu Fu is really useless, a little Taishan Wang Kuang can't deal with it, see how I clean him up when I come back." Dong Zhuo was very angry, this juncture actually allowed the allies to find an opportunity to sneak attack.
It's just that what Dong Zhuo didn't know was that Niu Fu, who he was going to clean up, would never have a chance to let him clean it up again, because he had already died in Ye Chen's hands.
"Immediately let Lu Bu lead 5,000 cavalry to support." After speaking, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and asked the general guarding the city to go and pass the word.
Because Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital, he had already transferred Lu Bu back and asked Lu Bu to escort him back to Chang'an, so Lu Bu was in Luoyang City at this time.
Dong Zhuo doesn't seem to care much about this matter, he has always looked down on Wang Kuang, otherwise he wouldn't say that he is "guts and incompetent".
The general who was guarding the city went down, but Li Ru on the side was a little uneasy in his heart, but Dong Zhuo was autocratic, and he made a decision again, so he didn't dare to say much.
"The matter of moving the capital must be done as soon as possible, since the wealth has been collected, then we will move the capital immediately in three days, and then take away all the people of Luoyang, if you dare not obey, kill." Dong Zhuo continued to hold the meeting, but he was troubled by "Wang Kuang", he lost his mind, and ordered him to move the capital three days later, and go to the harem to have a good time.
When Lu Bu received the task, he didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered five thousand soldiers and horses, and then asked people to open the city gate and rush to Mengjin.
Meng Jin squeezed in from Luoyang, and it didn't take long for Lu Bu to hear a clear shout of killing.
"No wonder the army says that Niu Fu is useless, and it all depends on the old man to take the position." Lu Bu thought very contemptuously on the horse.
Although Lu Bu also looked down on Lu Bu, he still rushed with the cavalry.
"Phew~"
"Whose men are you, and what's going on ahead of you?" Halfway through, Lu Bu saw the fleeing soldiers, so he stopped and asked.
"Tell Wen Hou, we are General Niu's subordinates, the enemy attacked the camp, and General Niu has been killed." Several routs trembled slightly in front of Lu Bu, and one of the soldiers reported.
"What? Niu Fu was beheaded? When Lu Bu heard this, he was shocked in his heart, although he thought that Niu Fu didn't have much ability, but the soldiers under his command were all Xiliang soldiers, they were all good hands, and there were more than 10,000, how could the main general be killed easily?
"Who attacked the camp? How many people are there? Lu Bu hurriedly asked.
"No, I don't know, there are so many enemies, so many."
"Waste." After listening to the other party's words, Lu Bu scolded: "The master is useless, and the soldiers are also a bad seed." β
Before, Lu Bu never dared to say this, and he didn't even dare to scold Niu Fu casually in front of his own subordinates, but now that Niu Fu has not only lost the camp, but even the people have been beheaded, Lu Bu still needs to be afraid of him.
After speaking, Lu Bu ignored a few deserters and hurriedly led his troops forward, he at least had to figure out who attacked the camp and how many men and horses the other party had?
Lu Bu led an army of 5,000 people, and he was not afraid of the other party's large number of people at all, and it was easy to run if he couldn't beat him.
galloped all the way, and encountered vicious occasional routs along the way, which made Lu Bu very puzzled.
"This is not like what Wang Kuang can do, although Niu Fu is wasted, but there are more than 10,000 troops, just how long it takes, it will be defeated like this." Although Lu Bu is not resourceful and has no long-term vision, his sensitivity to the battlefield is no worse than anyone else's, so he discovered the problem at the first time.
Ye Chen led the army to chase and kill the Niu auxiliary army, and chased it far away, and Zhao Yun and Xu Huang in the rear also came to support and chased the enemy army together.
"Formation." Ye Chen found that a cavalry was coming in front of him, and immediately stopped the pursuit and let the soldiers form a formation.
Since they came by boat, only a few generals brought horses, and the rest were all infantry, so Ye Chen treated it carefully and formed a defensive formation before the other party arrived.
"It turned out to be Wen Hou, I said goodbye to the tiger prison last time, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have the same demeanor." Sitting on the horse, Ye Chen said to Lu Bu indifferently.
Seeing that it was Ye Chen who was attacking, Lu Bu looked thoughtful, although he was not afraid, but Lu Bu knew very well that he couldn't ask for much benefit, especially when he saw that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were there, and there was Tai Shici who had not fought with him, and Xu Huang was ignored by him.
Lu Bu was very entangled, he would definitely not be able to defeat him, because Ye Chen and they were already prepared, and besides, there were more troops than him, and it would be difficult to explain if he didn't fight back.
"I didn't expect that General Ye came to rob the camp, has General Niu been killed by you?" Seeing Ye Chen, Lu Bu didn't suspect that Niu Fu had been killed, but he couldn't help but ask, after all, it was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and general.
Ye Chen picked up Niu Fu's head and shook it at Lu Bu.
Seeing Niu Fu's head, Lu Bu took a deep breath and said, "You killed Niu Fu, I can't rescue him in time, but I must get his head back." β
After speaking, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd and pointed it at Ye Chen, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang on the side saw Lu Bu's movements and immediately showed their weapons to guard against Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu raised his weapon, he had no intention of attacking, although he was not afraid of Ye Chen, he also knew that he could not beat the other party, if there were more soldiers and horses and a few more generals, Lu Bu was sure.
"Haha, Niu Fu gave you the head, which is considered to be a return for the favor last time." Ye Chen smiled freely and immediately threw Niu Fu's head over.
Lu Bu took the head and looked at Ye Chen in a complicated way, from a personal point of view, Lu Bu admired Ye Chen very much, but now the two sides are hostile positions and enemies.
"Okay, I'll let you go today, and the next time we meet, there will be you without me." After saying that, LΓΌ Bu turned his horse's head and ordered the army to retreat.
"There's no chance, we'll withdraw too." The deserters had already run away, Ye Chen and they would definitely not be able to catch up, and even if they could, Lu Bu would not let them continue to chase and kill.
When retreating, Ye Chen ordered Niu Fu's camp to be burned clean.
After withdrawing from the ship, Ye Chen ordered the fleet to drive back, and the soldiers must be allowed to rest in the camp tent, after all, they had been killed for a while, and they could not recover from resting on the boat.
And Lu Bu naturally took Niu Fu's head back to restore his life.
"What! Ye Chen attacked the camp, and Niu Fu was beheaded? Dong Zhuo was furious again.
"Ye Chen, if I don't kill you, how can the old man still gain a foothold."
No matter how Dong Zhuo didn't treat Niu Fu well, Niu Fu was always his son-in-law, and Ye Chen beheaded Niu Fu and slapped Dong Zhuo's face firmly.
