Chapter 36: Fighting the Tiger Prison Again

PS: It's a new week, subscribe, recommend it! ~

It seems that it is only at this time that they can realize that this is Li Ru's place, not in their army, and they can let them quarrel as much as they want.

Although Li Ru still didn't say a word, with his long-term reputation in the Xiliang Army, it seems that Li Meng, Wang Fang and others died down first, and Zhang Xiu saw that there was no quarrelling opponent, and he naturally didn't say anything if he didn't make a slap.

Li Ru smiled at this time and said, "As soon as you came in, you argued endlessly, so that I almost forgot what I was looking for you this time." ”

As soon as they heard this, Li Meng and the others suddenly looked embarrassed and speechless, and Hu Feng, who was stunned, just wanted to refute something, but was secretly pulled by Zhang Xiu, he was still very eye-catching, and he could see that Li Ru was smiling on his face, but there was no trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously on fire, in the face of this weak scholar whose uncle was also afraid of three points, Zhang Xiu did not dare to be too offended.

Seeing that both sides were speechless, Li Ru quickly restrained his smile and turned to a deep voice: "Everyone has said so much, but they all insist on their own words, have you really listened carefully to each other's reasons?" ”

He was to the point, the people on both sides who were just arguing were actually saying their own things, and they didn't even fully hear each other's words before they immediately began to refute and deny them comprehensively, which was undoubtedly extremely irrational, obviously they were actually frightened by the pressure of the army of the alliance of princes.

At this time, Li Ru was so broken, and several people thought carefully in their hearts. It's really as Li Ru said, several of them only care about talking about themselves, even Li Meng, Wang Fang and others, who are in the same camp, have not considered each other's feelings, and they don't feel like they are arguing but purely venting, venting the pressure of the enemy army.

Li Ru smiled again at this time and said, "I won't pursue what happened before, but from this moment on, you should work together to fight to protect this sun." ”

Li Meng, Wang Fang and others all nodded solemnly. That's what they originally thought. And Zhang Xiu and Hu Feng glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Ru said: "At this time, the army of the princes' alliance forced Xingyang, although Xingyang was built a few times, and the city defense was gradually improved. And Komeito is in charge here. It can also be reassuring. But they are understaffed after all, and they have no reinforcements outside......"

Hu Feng suddenly interjected and interrupted: "We can send troops to rescue, and maybe we can echo Xu Gongming to drive the enemy together." ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly grabbed him. Then glared at him fiercely, as if to reproach him for not saying anything.

Li Ru didn't have any expression, just glanced at him lightly, the depth of this glance was unstoppable, and it made people suddenly have a sense of awe in their hearts, although it was fleeting, but it still left a certain mark in Hu Feng's heart, and he was silent.

Bypassing this little episode, Li Ru continued: "In fact, although I ordered Xu Gongming to strictly guard against death, and not to teach the army of the Princes' Alliance to cross Xingyang and go further, I also knew in my heart that this was unlikely, not to mention whether this Xingyang City could be held and how long it could be held, if the princes' alliance army bypassed Xingyang and then bypassed Chenggao, there would not be much obstacle in other places all the way to Gongxian, and this place was not far from Luoyang. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru sighed, and said: "Actually, I can also understand the uneasiness in your hearts......" He said this to Li Meng, Wang Fang and others, obviously the object is also them, "How can I be completely sure in my heart?" If that's the case, there's no need to call you over to discuss at this time, but it's better to stick to it than to take the initiative, at least we can still take the initiative. ”

Li Ru glanced at Zhang Xiu and the two, Zhang Xiu immediately knew that he was explaining to the two of them, he was not a muddy person like Hu Feng, just a hot head for a while, at this time he was reminded by Li Ru several times, if he hadn't calmed down and thought about it, then he wouldn't be Zhang Xiu, and when he thought about it, he immediately understood what Li Ru meant.

In any case, there are still more than 100,000 troops in and around Luoyang, some of whom were stationed here, some were transferred back from all over the country, some originally belonged to the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo, and some were later developed to be led by these henchmen and generals, they are always paying attention to the movements of the army of the Princes' Alliance, and they will inevitably always pay attention to their own side.

If it is really as Zhang Xiu said rashly attacked, whether it is to support Xingyang, or other movements, leaving Luoyang and the surrounding defensive area that has been preset, it is equivalent to giving up one of their major advantages; At the same time, the dispatch of the army will also implicate a lot of things, especially logistics support, although the route distance is not long, but it is difficult to ensure that there is any mistake, after all, at this time, the people of Luoyang are moving, and the hegemony established by Dong Zhuo is already crumbling, and Zhang Xiu, who is in it, feels very profound.

And the most important point, as Li Ru said, is a kind of passivity to hold on to Luoyang, but it may not be beaten, because the surrounding is also arranged, and when the princes' coalition army enters the defensive circle, there will be a tough battle, but they may not lose, after all, they are the defenders who occupy a geographical advantage; On the contrary, it is to take the initiative to attack, the initiative is there, but it is easier to fall into passivity, the front to meet the enemy and the rear is unstable, maybe then the other party will come to a front and back attack, inside and outside.

After figuring out this, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt a lot more relieved, just stick to it, anyway, the enemy army will come sooner or later, and when the time comes, you can also go into battle to kill the enemy to avenge your uncle.

Of course, in addition to Zhang Xiu, there is another person who can think of this, that is, Li Su Li Zhengfang, who has the appearance of a delicate scribe, but it is different from Zhang Xiu's consideration, his pair of eyes are slightly rolling, and at a glance, he knows that he is having some bad ideas, but he doesn't know that his expression has been completely taken into Li Ru's eyes at this moment.

Li Ru only observed him from the corner of his eye, and when he saw that his mind was not belonging, he obviously thought of something else, so he just sneered in his heart.

He had been observing this Li Su for a long time, and had secretly sent many people to follow his whereabouts, just to find out who was in contact with him, and it was best to find out who was in contact with him.

Li Ru had long suspected Li Su, although Wang Yun's death covered up many things, such as who else participated in his plan except Lu Bu, but Li Su, as a highly regarded general in the Xiliang army, was often not in the army and did not look suspicious in his own mansion, and then Li Rutong guò investigation found that there had been many visits from people suspected of Li Su in Wang Yun's mansion, although they were not sure, but as long as there was suspicious at this time, they could not be misplaced.

At this time, Li Ru had already planned in his heart that he would evacuate Luoyang at that time, and the reason why he said that he wanted to defend Luoyang after gathering everyone was to use the mouth of Li Su, who was likely to be the enemy's internal response, to convey this news to the other party, it didn't matter whether they believed it or not, but as long as they knew it, they would definitely react to it, and then it was time for Li Ru to carry out his real plan.

At the same time, the army of the alliance of the princes of Dong was already preparing to launch the first attack on the key point of the Tiger Prison Pass since the first alliance to fight against Dong. (To be continued......)
