Chapter 197: Lu Bu's Battle
In fact, Li Su knew that the victory had been decided when Huaxiong fell off the horse, and he knew that he was by no means the opponent of the Kwantung heroes, so he gathered the elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry and immediately rushed back to Bishui Pass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The heroes were chasing and killing the Southern Army and the Northern Army that were incorporated by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City, not the Western Liang Army, these soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness, plus the main general was killed, and the dragons had no leader, and they soon became the souls of the sword.
Sun Jian always thinks about revenge, and now although Hua Xiong is dead, the Bishui Pass has not yet been breached, so he immediately asked for battle: "Alliance leader, Sun Jian is willing to take Jiangdong Erlang to break through the Bishui Pass!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the princes in the hall talked about it, everyone knew that this Bishui Pass had become the bag of the allies, Sun Jian jumped out to pick peaches at this time, what he knew was that he knew that he wanted to avenge the generals under his command, and those who didn't know thought that Sun Jian was greedy for his military exploits.
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Jian's words fell, someone immediately asked for battle: "Alliance leader, Gongsun Zhan is willing to lead his subordinate Baima Yicong to break through Bishui Pass!" ”
"This ......" The two of them asked to fight at the same time, Yuan Shao was a little hesitant, it stands to reason that he should agree to Sun Jian, after all, Sun Jian is also his own person anyway, but Sun Jian folded for a while before, and now he goes to pick peaches, it seems that it is a little difficult to convince the public, and Gongsun Chan is obviously also an opportunity to win the battle.
Yuan Shao didn't want to give this opportunity to anyone, so he said: "Generals, Huaxiong is dead, the dragons of Bishui Pass have no leader, and they can be broken overnight. ”
"No!" Yuan Shao gave this order, and all the heroes went down to rectify the soldiers and horses, and went towards Bishui Pass with great momentum.
When everyone rushed to Bishui Pass, there were only a few scattered soldiers left on the pass, and when they saw the army swarming, the soldiers who closed the pass directly switched and surrendered, and only after asking did they know that Li Su had fled back to Luoyang with the remnants of the defeated army.
The princes crossed the Bishui Pass and went directly into the Tiger Prison.
Dong Zhuo heard that Hua Xiong was killed, and Li Su lost Bishui Pass again, and he was about to kill Li Su immediately, but Lu Bu came out to persuade him: "Father-in-law, the heroes of the Kanto region are just chickens and dogs, and they are willing to lead the people of the headquarters to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to set up defenses, and they will definitely kill the heroes of the Kanto region and surrender." ”
"As for Li Su, no matter what, Li Su can bring back so many Xiliang men, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and now is the time to employ people, why don't you let him make meritorious contributions?"
"Just according to the wishes of the ancestors." With Lu Bu's intercession, Dong Zhuo no longer punished Li Su, and ordered: "Order Feng to lead 200,000 horses and infantry troops first, and send troops to the Tiger Pass to meet the heroes of the Kwantung region!" ”
"No!"
Although Li Su was grateful to Dong Zhuo for his kindness, he was dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that he had followed Dong Zhuo for many years, without merit and hard work, and now the enemy is powerful, he is just to protect Mingzhe, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to want his life, since Dong Zhuo became Xiangguo, he has become more and more distrustful of the generals outside the Xiliang Army.
He and Su Chen are sworn brothers, and now Su Chen has become an official to the state pastor of a state and a hussar general, and he, for many years, has been loyal, and not long ago he persuaded Lu Bu to surrender, Dong Zhuo only praised him verbally, but did not give him a promotion, how could he stand it.
Today's incident is like a fuse, which completely made him deviate from Dong Zhuo, on the contrary, he felt that Lu Bu could intercede for him at a critical moment, and his heart was a little useful, after all, Lu Bu is different from the past, and now he is the first brave general of the Xiliang Army.
The reason why Lu Bu interceded for Li Su was largely because of sympathy, although he was accepted by Dong Zhuo as a righteous son, he looked majestic, in fact, the soldiers under his command were only the Bingzhou soldiers left by Ding Yuan and the five schools of the Northern Army, and there was no other Xiliang army.
The Western Liang Army and the other armies in Luoyang are two incompatible groups, Dong Zhuo's real trust is that in addition to Niu Fu and Dong Yu's relatives, it is Li Wei, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, these old people in the Western Liang Army, these people have followed Dong Zhuo to fight in the south and the north all the year round, and they have won Dong Zhuo's trust.
Although Li Su's talent is not good, how can he say that he is also deeply rooted in the Xiliang army, he is considered an old qualification, and he has a great role in winning him over Lu Bu to divide and disintegrate the Xiliang army.
Although Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu to deal with the Kanto heroes, he always felt a little uncomfortable, and he originally wanted to stay in the palace, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea in his heart, summoned Li Ru over, and asked: "Wen Wei, these Kanto anti-thieves really make our family upset, now that Huaxiong has been killed, I'm afraid that Bishui Pass has also fallen into the hands of anti-thieves, what should I do now?" ”
Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo asked this sentence, in fact, he already had the intention of retreating, there were only one and a half people who really made Dong Zhuo jealous of the heroes, one was Su Chen, he had been dealing with Su Chen for more than ten years, and he knew very well that this kid was amazing, don't look at him now, that is he clear, the other party didn't want to fight with him, he gave Luoyang to him at the beginning, it seemed that he got cheap, but after receiving the palace, he found that the reserves in the palace were gone, and he thought that this kid was cheap. And this black cauldron can only be carried by Dong Zhuo.
Every time he thought of this, Dong Zhuo hated Su Chen so much.
As for the other half of the people, that is Yuan Shao, not to mention the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, just say that Yuan Shao can gather millions of people in an instant, which makes him Dong Zhuo very shocked, although the combat effectiveness of this million people is average, but it is really his henchman.
Thinking of this, without waiting for Li Ru to speak, Dong Zhuo first ordered: "Wen Wei, immediately send an order, arrest the Yuan family, kill them all, and personally send the head to Yuan Shao outside the gate, our family wants to see if he Yuan Shao is a ruthless and unrighteous person." ”
"No!"
Li Ru immediately went to convey the order, and when he came back, he said: "Father-in-law, it is imperative, we can prepare with both hands." ”
"What preparation?"
"First of all, there are also intrigues among the heroes, and in order to make meritorious contributions, there was a matter of Sun Jian and Bao Xin competing for merit, so we might as well send envoys to make a wish to the people in the coalition army, so as to divide the Kanto heroes."
"Speaking of the atmosphere in our family, most of the thieves in the Kanto region are personally promoted by our family to defend the history of assassination, I didn't expect them to rise up to resist our family, it's really ridiculous, no matter what, you have to worry about sending envoys, just say what you need, and you continue to talk about second-hand preparations."
Li Ru said unhurriedly: "A nursery rhyme has recently appeared in Luoyang, saying: There is a Han in the east, a Han in the west, and the deer can only be difficult when they enter Chang'an." Father-in-law, we might as well move the capital to Chang'an and leave Luoyang City to those princes to rob it, and once the princes compete for power and profit, who will have the heart to continue to fight against us. ”
"Hmm!" Dong Zhuo pondered carefully, and also felt that this matter was feasible, and immediately said: "Rob the rich families in Luoyang City, and all the food and property must be transported to Chang'an, and also, dig up the north for our family, there are so many treasures buried in it, and if you don't dig them out to serve as military funds, there is no reason to cheapen those thieves in vain, as for the palace, burn it down, and leave a dilapidated palace to those people to rob." ”
"Never!" Li Ru immediately retorted: "Father-in-law, there is no problem with robbing property, but the palace must not be burned down, a complete palace can make Yuan Shao and others tempted, if it is a dilapidated palace, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not pursue our army with righteous indignation, so the palace must not be burned." ”
Although Dong Zhuo was unwilling, he could only follow Li Ru's advice and said: "In this way, the matter of moving the capital will be handed over to the virtuous son-in-law." ”
Dong Zhuo said that he went into the palace to find a beautiful woman to be happy, there is a palace in Nuoda, and only Dong Zhuo is the veritable master.
However, it is said that Lu Bu led his troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, and happened to meet the vanguard of the allied forces, which were Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Sun Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zhan.
Lu Bu took the only three thousand light horsemen under his command and rushed to meet him. General Wang Kuang's horses were lined up in formation, and when he looked at it under the banner of Le Mamen, he saw Lu Bu coming out of the formation: he wore a purple and gold crown with three-pronged hair, hung a red brocade robe from Xichuan on his body, and wore a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, and his waist was tied with a delicate lion belt; With a bow and arrow, holding a halberd, sitting down and neighing the red rabbit horse: sure enough, it is "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses"!
Wang Kuang turned around and asked, "Who dares to fight?" ”
Behind the general, the horse came out with a gun. Wang Kuang regarded it as a famous general in Hanoi, Fang Yue.
This Fang Yueshan made a silver spear, wearing a white robe and silver armor, at first glance, it looked like Lu Bu, but it was slightly inferior to Lu Bu in momentum.
The two horses intersected, and in less than three rounds, they were stabbed under the horse by Lu Bu's halberd, and the halberd rushed straight over. Wang Kuang's army was defeated and scattered in all directions.
Lu Bu rushed to kill, as if entering a no-man's land. Fortunately, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi both arrived to save Wang Kuang, and Lu Bufang retreated. The princes of the three roads, each folded some men and horses, and retreated thirty miles to the village. Then the five route armies and horses all arrived, and they discussed in one place, saying that Lu Bu was a hero and no one was invincible.
Just as he was thinking about it, the junior colonel reported: "Lu Bu is fighting." ”
The princes of the Eight Roads got on their horses together. The army was divided into eight teams and was distributed in Takaoka. Looking at Lu Bu's cluster of military horses from afar, embroidering flags and beckoning, he came to charge the battle first. Mu Shun, the general of Zhang Yang's department, went out to meet the battle, but was stabbed under the horse by Lu Bu with a halberd. The crowd was shocked. Beihai Taishou Kong Rong General Wu Anguo, so that the hammer flew out.
Lu Bu waved his halberd and slapped the horse to greet him. After more than ten battles, a halberd cut off An Guo's wrist, abandoned the hammer and left. The Eighth Route Army came out together and saved Wu Anguo. Lu Bu spared the lives of his soldiers, was outnumbered, and retreated.
The princes returned to the village to discuss.
Cao Cao said: "Lu Bu is brave and invincible, but he can meet the princes of the Nineteenth Road to discuss good policies. If Lu Bu is captured, Dong Zhuo will be punished. ”
Wu Anguo's name was already famous when he fought the Yellow Turban, and this time he was cut off by Lu Bu in a few rounds, and when the heroes heard Cao Cao's words, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
