Chapter 336: The Checkmate of Man
And that's not even the worst news, just after this scout left, a fifth scout arrived.
The first three scouts were all executed by Dong Zhuo in anger, but the fourth scout was lucky, Dong Zhuo's anger had passed, although the fourth news also made him angry, but Dong Zhuo did not kill this scout again.
The fifth news is the most unbearable of the five news, that is, something happened in Luoyang City.
On the grounds of Dong Zhuo's order, Lu Bu left the Tiger Prison Pass overnight, returned to Luoyang, united with Wang Yun, killed Dong Min, and seized the military power of Luoyang. Subsequently, Lu Bu's subordinate Wei Xu and others led Lu Bu's Flying Bear Army to return to Luoyang, rendezvous with Lu Bu, and asked the Son of Heaven to edict Dong Zhuo as the ****, and the world discussed it.
The two emperors of the east and the west have issued such an edict, Dong Zhuo is ****, and Luoyang has been lost, Dong Zhuo's army is stationed in the Tiger Pass, but not to mention that it was attacked by the army of Lu Bu and Yuan Shao before and after, it is said that the military food in the Tiger Pass is only enough for the army for ten days, and once there is no food at that time, Dong Zhuo will be defeated.
The anger that had just subsided was once again replaced by a complete rage, and the things in the hall were damaged, except for Li Ru, including the heavy cases were smashed by Dong Zhuo.
Dead end, the strategy Li Ru said just now is barely feasible, and the worst thing is that it can last for a period of time, and it will not be a problem for a year and a half. However, now that Luoyang has been captured, Dong Zhuo's army is isolated and will perish in less than half a month.
"Heaven is dead, I Dong Zhuohu?" It wasn't until he had no strength that Dong Zhuo stopped, sat on the ground with his buttocks, screamed wildly, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
"Taishi ......" was afraid of being affected by himself, when Dong Zhuo began to smash, Li Ru hid outside, and at this moment, seeing Dong Zhuo fainting to death, he hurriedly screamed and ran into the hall.
Dong Zhuo was sick, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and internal and external troubles made this hero finally fall.
In the face of Lu Bu's sudden rebellion, he killed Dong Min, captured Luoyang, and made the defenders of Luoyang return to their hearts in the name of the Son of Heaven, betraying Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's defeat is only a matter of time or time, and almost everyone understands this truth.
The army is panicked, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they will have no belonging.
This news was soon learned by Yuan Shao, and he was overjoyed, on the one hand, he sent people to actively contact Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he ordered the army to storm the Tiger Pass.
Fortunately, several of Dong Zhuo's henchmen and generals were still loyal, leading the army to resist to the death, and stubbornly repelled the attacks of Yuan Shao's army again and again, but the Tiger Prison Pass was no longer as indestructible as before, and it was a little crumbling.
Since Dong Zhuo woke up, the sound of fighting has hardly disappeared in his ears, making Dong Zhuo's condition worsen faster and faster, and within a few days, he has lost half of his weight.
On this day, Dong Zhuo sent someone to call Li Ru over, opened his almost dull eyes, and said slowly: "Wen You, the tiger prison cannot be guarded, and it is best for you to leave quickly." ”
Li Ru was shocked and hurriedly said: "Why did the Taishi say this, we are loyal to the Taishi, how can we abandon the Taishi at this critical juncture?" ”
Dong Zhuo's face moved, as if he was laughing, but it was more ugly than crying.
Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "Wen You, the general trend has gone, the general trend has gone, the limit of loneliness has arrived, and your life is not long, how can you be desperate with loneliness, if so, who can revenge the great enemy of loneliness?" ”
Li Ru believed that Dong Zhuo really wanted them to leave, and he couldn't help but feel moved, and asked: "The revenge of the Taishi, Confucianism will be avenged, but the world is so big, I don't know who is willing to take us in and avenge the Taishi?" ”
This is the truth, Dong Zhuo has already offended the whole world, and it is true that no prince is willing or dares to take in Dong Zhuo's subordinates, let alone avenge Dong Zhuo.
Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo smiled slightly: "If you know alone, you can take in Er, and you will also avenge Lonely." ”
Li Ru's heart moved, he had already guessed who this person was, but he didn't dare to say it, and asked deliberately: "I don't know who it is, please tell Taishi Ming." ”
Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "Wen You, you have already guessed who this person is, since you don't want to say it, you will say that you will listen, it is the concubine Cao Juye." ”
Sure enough, it was him, Li Ru thought in his heart, and he no longer hid his secrets, nodded and said, "Taishi is wise." ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly burst out laughing, which immediately triggered a violent cough, and the two maids hurriedly helped Dong Zhuo beat his back and relax his chest.
After a while, Dong Zhuo's cough calmed down, he took a deep breath, and sighed again: "People are about to die, their words are also good, and the lonely end is no longer confused before he dies. ”
"This person is the world's hero, ambitious, extremely talented, you defect to him, will be reused, remember, Wen You, must be loyal to help Cao, not have two hearts, if not, with Cao Ju's shrewdness, you will be defeated."
These words, without Dong Zhuo's advice, Li Ru also understands them in his heart, but Dong Zhuo's subordinates may not understand them.
Li Ru was worried, but he didn't dare to say it, thinking in his heart, when those guys had any second thoughts, he wouldn't participate.
Xu Rong is in Liang County, Hu Zhen is in Yangcheng, Li Yu, Guo Yan and others are also following the army outside, yes, after the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu rebelled, the generals under Dong Zhuo can get their hands on it, that is, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's fierce general Hu Che'er.
That night, the scouts sent by Dong Zhuo went to Liangxian and Yangcheng respectively to convey Dong Zhuo's last order, that is, to let Xu Rong and Hu Zhen lead two armies, together with Li Ru, to the west to Cao Ju.
Of course, before this, Dong Zhuo also sent scouts to the west to Cao Ren's military camp.
When Cao Ren got the news, he couldn't help but be shocked, Dong Zhuo's subordinates wanted to vote for all of them.
Cao Ren didn't dare to make a decision, so he immediately sent someone to pass the news Pegasus to Cao Ju and ask him to decide.
Cao Ju was not Cao Ren, and he saw the key at once, of course, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Xi Zhong and other strategists into the General's Mansion.
Sure enough, the speculation of the strategists was exactly the same as Cao Ju, and it was true that Dong Zhuo asked his subordinates to go west to join him, but he had to be cautious about accepting these hundreds of thousands of troops.
At present, Cao Ju, what is most lacking under his command is soldiers and horses, if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo's command, Cao Ju can immediately go west and attack Liangzhou.
Dong Zhuo's order reached Liang County, and although Xu Rong was shocked, he was ready to obey Dong Zhuo's order, and while continuing to hold Liang County, he sent people to connect with Cao Ren.
