Cao Cao and Wang Kuang led the army to catch up all the way, killing Li Su, Zhao Cen, and Hu Zhen and returning defeated, throwing away their armor and retreating to Bishui Pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After entering the Bishui Pass, Li Su hurriedly ordered people to close the gate tightly to avoid the battle, and hurriedly transcribed the emergency document and sent it to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang for help.
Luoyang, in the mansion of Dong Zhuo Taishi, Dong Zhuo was having a feast, because not long ago, Huaxiong sent someone to report that he beheaded Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, and won the first victory.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, praised Hua Xiong's bravery again and again, crowned him as the governor of the infantry army, and invited his henchmen in Luoyang to reward him.
"Taishi, General Hua is in Bishui Pass, we can rest easy." Li Dao picked up his wine glass and said.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The old man is assisted by many generals, it is really a great blessing, my son is the first, and my son-in-law Wen You is the dragon and phoenix among the people, why is the old man afraid?" ”
At this time, a messenger came to the reception hall: "Qiyu Taishi, there is an urgent report ahead, Huaxiong has been killed, and Bishui Pass is urgent!" ”
The laughter stopped abruptly, Dong Zhuo's face sank, and shouted: "The general has reported it!" ”
Li Ru took the military report, presented it to Dong Zhuo with both hands, and stood beside him, while the other generals and Lu Bu also stared closely at the urgent report in Dong Zhuo's hand.
Syllable!
Dong Zhuo slapped the newspaper on the table fiercely, the wine and food splashed everywhere, and Dong Zhuo's fat face, squirming horizontally, looked extremely angry.
"Taishi, General Hua was really killed?" Li Ru asked in a low voice.
Dong Zhuo nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Qian's guy is really hateful, I played the history of his unannexed state assassination in front of the Son of Heaven, I can't imagine that that bastard not only does not miss the old man's kindness, but leads the army to crusade against the old man, which is really hateful!" General Hua died at the hands of a man named Zhang Fei under Zhao Qian! ”
Li Ru frowned, and said: "Then Zhao Qian came quickly and cunningly, and he was recruited in the name of the Son of Heaven several times, but he resigned under the pretext of resigning, and he has long had the heart of anti-Taishi." ”
Dong Zhuo knocked on the table again, and said dejectedly: "Huaxiong is dead, what can I do now?" ”
Lu Bu picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, got up and bowed: "Don't worry, father-in-law, there is cloth, why are you afraid of the Kwantung princes?" ”
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, his face was slightly better, and then looked at Li Ru and asked for his opinion.
Li Ru pinched his goat's mustache, paced back and forth a few steps, and whispered slowly: "Now that General Hua has been killed, the morale of the troops is frustrated, and the Taishi needs to personally bring the soldiers to go to win." ”
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he thought about it, snorted coldly, and said: "The old man has been fighting for half his life, why not be afraid of that Kanto child, according to Wenyou's words, the old man will rebel!" The generals obey the order! ”
"The last general!" The generals in the hall stood up one after another and waited for the order.
Dong Zhuo glanced at it and said: "Li Dao and Guo Yan listened to the order and ordered the two of you to lead an army of 50,000 to rush to the aid of Bishui Pass, you can only hold on, don't fight with you!" ”
"Order!"
Dong Zhuo nodded and continued: "Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, as well as Wen You and Feng Xian, raise 150,000 troops and rush to the Tiger Prison Pass with me!" ”
"Order!"
The generals dispersed, Li Ru's eyes rolled, and he said, "Taishi, Confucianism still has something that needs to be reminded of you." ”
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Wen You, although you are the old man's brain, the old man has something unexpected and needs to be reminded." ”
Li Ru saluted slightly, and said in a low voice: "Now Yuan Kui, the Taifu of the DPRK, is the uncle of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance army this time. ”
Dong Zhuo gasped and said: "If it weren't for Wen You's reminder, it would have almost been a big deal, come and inform Li Dao and Guo Yan that Yuan Kui conspired with Yuan Shao to rebel, and ordered him to bring five hundred soldiers and punish his nine clans!" ”
After Li Dao and Guo Yan got the order, they went to Yuan Kui's house, and killed all the old and young, regardless of the old and the young, and cut off Yuan Kui's head and took him to the front of the Bishui Pass to give an order.
The news of Luoyang soon reached the alliance camp, Yuan Shao heard that his uncle was killed, his eyes were black, his steps were staggering, if it were not for the people around him, his eyes were fast, and he fainted.
Zhao Qian stepped forward and said: "Dong Zhuo and the tiger prison, the purpose is very clear, that is, to cut off the middle of our army, the alliance leader should divide his troops to deal with the enemy, so that he will not be difficult to take care of." ”
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, beat his chest and said: "Dong Zhuo old thief, my Yuan family swears that I will not share the sky with the old thief!" The congregation will obey the order! ”
"Please send the alliance leader!" The princes of all walks of life stood up one after another.
Yuan Shao pulled out the Lingqi, and after scanning the circle, he handed the Lingqi into the hands of Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuangde, and said: "Today, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Zhao Qian, and Gongsun Zhan are the princes of the Eight Roads, and they will go to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet the enemy!" ”
Wang Kuang took the order flag and was overjoyed, which showed that Yuan Shao took him as the head of the princes of the Eight Roads, and hurriedly said: "Obey the order of the alliance leader!" ”
Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said, "Highway and me and the rest of the princes, storm Bishui Pass, and take back the city wall, uncle's head!" ”
In the end, Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De led the army back and forth between the two places. ”
After the arrangement, Zhao Qian and other princes of the Eighth Road, under the leadership of Wang Kuang, galloped towards the Tiger Prison Pass.
Halfway through, Wang Kuang looked at the order flag in his hand and thought: Since the alliance leader values Ben Taishou so much, he should also make great contributions in the future, and report to the alliance leader.
Thinking of this, Wang Kuang shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the alliance leader who is too guarded by the command banner wants to raise a cavalry as the vanguard, and Dong Zhuo is caught off guard. ”
Zhao Qian frowned, and hurriedly said: "Wang Taishou thought twice, then Dong Zhuo led 200,000 troops to come, and Lu Bu was in the battle, only by working together can we win, and now I am going alone, I am afraid of defeat." ”
Wang Kuang was displeased, his meritorious service was earnest, he snorted coldly, and said: "Zhao Tingshi doesn't need to worry too much, the so-called soldiers are fast, and they are too guarded to have their own measure, and the princes should not doubt it." ”
After that, Wang Kuang led 5,000 cavalry by himself, broke away from the large army, and galloped towards the Tiger Pass, thinking about the good things after the meritorious service.
Zhao Qian snorted coldly, and said in his heart, the guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, after meeting Lu Bu, it is estimated that he doesn't know how to die, but as a friendly army, he can't ignore it, so he has to shout: "Generals, Wang Taishou is a lone army, I am afraid that I will lose, so we will speed up the march and think that we will respond." ”
Everyone thought so, and they accelerated their march, but no matter how fast the infantry was, they couldn't compare to the cavalry.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu led 30,000 troops alone, stationed outside the pass, and suddenly heard the report from the colonel, 5,000 cavalry came to attack, Lu Bu was dressed and belted, with 3,000 iron horses, and rushed forward to meet him.
The two armies met and lined up, Wang Kuang was under the banner of the general, looking at Lu Bu from afar, but he saw Lu Bu wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a red brocade robe on his body, wearing a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, a delicate lion belt around his waist, holding a painting pole Fang Tianhalberd, and a red rabbit under his crotch.
Wang Kuang looked at it, and couldn't help but secretly praise, it was really a dragon and phoenix among people, extraordinary mortals!
