When Li Ru and Ma Chao joined Pang De in the palace, he was leading his army to besiege the Jiade Hall of the Son of Heaven's bedroom.
Dong Cheng and the remnants of the Yulin Army failed to catch up, but they also passed the previous pursuit to give them the heaviest psychological blow, which made their own shadow in their hearts expand more and more, anyway, Pound's goal was achieved, but he didn't pursue it to the end, when the large army arrived, the small detachments that carried out the attack tactics automatically returned to the team, and then Pang De began to arrange the encirclement of the Jiade Palace.
Although he could have rushed in directly, he didn't want the little emperor and the others in the rear to secretly escape when the battle in front of him was fierce, and all the work he had done before would be in vain.
However, the scale of the Jiade Hall is very large, covering a vast area, if you do not arrange all directions, it is easy to have a gap, and once the war starts, it is inevitable that you can not always pay attention to and take care of everything, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.
However, after Li Ru came, after greeting each other and saying hello to Ma Chao, Li Ru was very dissatisfied with Pang De's arrangement, on the surface, he took all directions into consideration, but he did not expect that after blocking the various intersections in this way, it was likely to trigger the other party's bottoming out, and the opponent whose morale was still relatively low was likely to have the effect of mourning. It will always be a trouble at that time, after all, they can't just consider the battle in front of them, and there are many opponents they may face in the future, such as the attitude towards the southern Shuangliu, Li Ru is far less optimistic than Ma Chao.
After hearing Li Ru's words, both Ma Chao and Pang De immediately agreed, after all, they all have rich experience in marching and fighting, and they can sometimes grasp the psychology of the enemy, so they can't absolutely force the other party to a dead end, and there is another advantage of doing this Li Ru didn't say it. That is, no one knows if there is some secret road to the outside in this Garter Temple. It would be better if they could be lured by a less conspicuous but easier path than if they were forced to flee through the secret passage at the end, though it might also be unsafe, and if the other party was determined to escape from the secret passage that did not know whether it existed or not. Then Li Ru didn't have a problem. But at least that's the best way to deal with it right now.
Ma Chao and Pang De hurriedly began to ask Li Ru for advice and advice. Li Ru didn't hide their appetite either, and only pondered for a moment before talking to them.
In fact, Li Ru's design is also very simple, don't block all the ways out. On the contrary, it is necessary to set aside a road that can allow the other party to escape, as an inducement to the people inside, of course, this road must also have two characteristics, one is that it is relatively remote and difficult to find, so it is easy to create an illusion to the people inside, that is, the enemy outside is not familiar with the terrain, so this place is really not noticed, it is safe to pass through, which will greatly reduce their vigilance, and it is more likely to walk on this road; On the other hand, of course, it must also be suitable for covering up the ambush, after all, this is Li Ru's ultimate goal, he never thought of letting the other party leave, otherwise he would not be guilty of making so many arrangements.
After all, Li Ru has also stayed in Luoyang, including the imperial palace, for so long, and even the palace outside the Jiade Hall before, although he didn't know it beforehand, but later he also participated in it, and with his personality, whenever he has been to a place, he will subconsciously want to write down the surrounding terrain, environment and basic situation, and the Jiade Palace, which has also been here a lot, will naturally be no exception, so he is very familiar with this place, and he really knows that there is such a road, if it is not for the people who often go in and out and almost bypass the surrounding area, it is impossible to find that place, The surrounding vegetation is also a good place for ambushes.
In this way, it is likely that the other party will not resist with all their strength at that time, because in their minds they still have the last way to retreat, which is of course a good thing for Pang Dejun, which means that they will appear to be very relaxed, and they can also try to put more forces into the ambush; The second is naturally to lure the other party into the trap arranged in advance, and when those people inside, including the little emperor and others, are tempted, once the road is cleared, they will ambush the other party and take the other party by surprise.
The advantage of this is obvious, that is, the terrain disadvantage that was not conducive to the play of these cavalry under Pound is transformed, and may even be turned into an advantage, after all, there will definitely be deserters at that time, and if you want to wipe out the opponent, the mobility of the cavalry can still produce good results in the small open space around.
Of course, although the thousand people who followed Li Ru and Ma Chao were all infantry and were also good at foot combat, they did not intend to put these people into use, after all, they had consumed a lot in the previous battle of Gucheng, and they were quite tired from marching for days, so it was enough for them to do their respective protective duties.
Ma Chao even thought that this could be Li Ru's deliberate vigilance against himself, he didn't fully trust him, how could he fully trust himself? What's more, if you want to calculate your heart, Ma Chao thinks that he is definitely not comparable to Li Ru, just like Yan Xing is able to force himself to become the first fierce general in Liangzhou again, and in the end, he is not calculated by an old scribe?
Both parties are pregnant with their own ghosts, but this time is still the honeymoon period, so they quickly reached an agreement, Pang De went down and arranged according to the yƬ built by Li Ru, and Ma Chao walked in this palace with Li Ru.
However, in the midst of it, Ma Chao had no other feelings except for the occasional stunning look in his eyes, in fact, these palaces were majestic and tall, solemn, and solemn, but these were often based on the supreme imperial power in the middle. For a person like Ma Chao who completely disrespects the Son of Heaven, these have no effect on him, and they can't stir up any waves in his heart.
On the contrary, Li Ru looked at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar scene around him, and a sense of being a person spontaneously arose in his heart.
Although he has been very calm since he entered Luoyang City, he has only been suppressed by reason, in fact, his heart is far less calm than what he appears on the surface, and it can even be said to be turbulent, after all, Luoyang City and the Imperial Palace are too special for Li Ru, and every flower, grass and tree here is only a little change, and he can detect the difference. Of course, it's not just a little bit that is different now. After all, a few more months have passed from Dong Zhuo to Lu Bu, and everything is different, and he can basically detect it.
But after all, he is not a sad personality, but a little melancholy for a while. I just shook my head. Now is not the time to think about that. Especially in front of Ma Chao, he doesn't want to show his true and fragile side.
At this time, whether it is Li Ru in contemplation or Ma Chao in wait-and-see. were awakened by a sudden and rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, only to hear the sound getting closer and closer, and it sounded more and more urgent, and soon everyone found out that it was a white horse knight, and the guards who were originally on guard slowly relaxed, because some of them recognized that this was their own person, but the guards around Li Ru were still guarding his side, and there were not many flaws, who knows if there will be any mutations?
When the fast horse was about to pass by, Ma Chao had already signaled the two guards to come forward and stop him, and the knight on the horse originally seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the sudden obstruction, perhaps because there was some real urgency.
However, after seeing clearly that it was Ma Chao who asked people to stop him, where did he dare to slack off, and immediately dismounted and saluted respectfully, Ma Chao asked: "You are in a hurry to find Ling Ming, but what is the matter?" ā
"General Qiyu, the little one does have something to report, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, it's hard to say." Saying that, he seemed to feel that he seemed to say something that should not be said as soon as possible, and after glancing at Ma Chao, he hurriedly said: "There are people who are monitoring near Buguangli in Dongcheng District who reported that they found that there are people in and out of Cai Yong's mansion, and the abnormality is that I have never seen these people before, either they came out of thin air out of nowhere, or they have stayed in the mansion before and have never come out, so they have never seen it, but no matter what, it is an abnormal situation, so I have to inform General Pang and let him decide." ā
Ma Chao just frowned and didn't speak, but he didn't think it had anything to do with it.
However, Li Ru was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and after pondering for a while, he asked the man again: "What you just said is true, so there are really people in Cai Yong's mansion today who have never seen before coming in and out?" ā
The man was a little at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Ma Chao, Ma Chao coughed lightly, he immediately understood, and no longer hesitated to answer: "It's true, I also discussed it, and I feel that since the general and the military advisor have specifically mentioned that they should always pay attention to the situation in Master Cai's mansion before, once there is any abnormal situation, they should report it at any time, and this time it should be counted, so they came over......" Speaking of this, he became quieter and quieter, because he had noticed that Ma Chao's face did not look good, which was also normal, After all, in Ma Chao's opinion, such an anomaly is not a case at all, and he can't see anything from it at all, but he thinks that this guy has nothing to do at all, and there is no need for this kind of thing to come over to report it, Pang De is now surrounding the Jiade Palace, which can be regarded as a serious matter, and the most important thing is that it doesn't matter if it is just in front of him, but in front of Li Ru, this is tantamount to losing his face, how can he be happy.
It was just strange to him that Li Ru didn't seem to mean to look at his jokes, but instead fell into deep thought about what the little soldier said, as if there was some secret hidden in it that he didn't know.
Ma Chao is a person who can't hide things in his heart, but now he is much more mature than before, he knows when and what to do in front of whom, he doesn't dare to trust Li Ru fully, after all, he is not a person all the way, so although he is full of doubts at this time, he didn't ask anything and didn't say anything, just quietly waited for Li Ru to speak.
At this time, Li Ru thought about what was hidden behind this matter, and only after a while, he suddenly felt like a blessing to his heart. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he thought of the relationship between Cai Yong and Na Lu Bu.
Speaking of Cai Yong, he hadn't left Ruoyang City in the land of right and wrong at this time, Li Ru was also quite surprised, it stands to reason that with the relationship between Lu Bu and Cai Yong, it is impossible to sit back and watch him put himself in danger here, the only explanation should be that Cai Yong himself is unwilling to leave, but this time there are suddenly abnormal people coming and going, will this have anything to do with Lu Bu, could it be that Lu Bu is going to send someone to pick up Cai Yong again?
In fact, if it weren't for Li Ru here, I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to have this association. Even Pang De didn't think Cai Yong would be a key figure. The reason why people were arranged to investigate near Buguangli was that they were more concerned about Fu Wan and the others, just like Fu Wan brought people over before, he actually knew about it, and he was able to make targeted countermeasures to it. And that's the effect of the spies' returns.
Of course, at this time, although Li Ru thought of Lu Bu, he must have sent someone to take Cai Yong away. But I didn't guess that it was Lu Bu himself. After all, this sounds a little incredible, although Li Ru knows Lu Bu, he is not very clear about the wonderful relationship between him and Cai Yong. Especially having a relationship with a talented woman is only a common secret between Lu Bu and Cai Yong, Li Ru naturally can't know it, so he won't think in that direction, and naturally he won't think that it is actually Lu Bu himself who is in Cai Yong's mansion at this time.
In fact, in the same way, Lu Bu, who was in Cai Yong's mansion at this time, did not expect that the whereabouts of himself and others would be leaked out.
If you want to say this, you can't blame him for being careless, after all, some things that should be done have been done, but unfortunately there is always a mistake in Baimi, you must know that Lu Bu and several others are very tall, even if you want to disguise it, it is impossible to reduce the height out of thin air, the only way is to find a few people of similar shape in the mansion, fortunately, some of the guards arranged in Cai Yong's mansion before were able to meet their conditions, but these people rarely go out of the mansion, So after being discovered by these spies arranged by Pang De to monitor the movements in Buguangli nearby, they listed it as an abnormal situation and prepared to report it, not wanting to run into Li Ru and Ma Chao.
And this is also because Lu Bu's side has not yet received a battle report from Cao Xing, and he doesn't know that Li Ru's side has broken away from the obstacles of Gucheng, and even got rid of the entanglement of Zhang He's team, and is approaching Luoyang City.
In fact, this is another miss on the road, not long after Lu Bu left Zhang Liao, the person sent by Jia Xu to deliver the news has already arrived, but unfortunately Lu Bu and the others have already gone away, otherwise they will definitely be more careful when they enter the city this time, and they will take care of all aspects, without revealing such an obvious flaw this time.
In this way, it seems that it once again verifies the importance of intelligence, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, otherwise it is just a link that the lack of information and errors and omissions may lead to some incalculable consequences.
And Lu Bu, who didn't know anything, was still helping Cai Yong clean up and preparing to leave this place and go out of the city.
Since he is leaving, of course, it is impossible to take anything with him, in fact, he does not need to take anything with him, but the necessary cover-up is still needed, especially for Cai Yong, after all, his face is well-known in Luoyang City, even Pang Dejun and Xu Rongjun should have many people who have seen and even known him, if he breaks out like this without concealment, maybe he will be discovered as soon as he goes out, even if this place is close to the city gate, Lu Bu is confident that he can kill him, but it is always a trouble, What's more, he is actually not sure that if he is really discovered, he will still be able to protect Cai Yong under the siege of so many people.
And after hastily cleaning up, Lu Bu asked everyone in Cai's mansion to disperse first, and deliberately let them go their separate ways, no matter whether they were discovered or not, such a suspicious plan can always have a certain effect.
After that, of course, he was the main force along the way, but at this time, Lu Bu showed his best point as a top general, that is, his unusually sharp intuition, although he only had a faint feeling of uneasiness, I don't know where it came from, but Lu Bu, who has always believed in his feelings, also chose to be more cautious this time.
After ordering all the suspicious soldiers, it was not enough, he also gathered all the guards who had been lurking in Cai's mansion and gathered them all into one team, of course, the number of people is not particularly large, only a dozen and less than twenty people, and it is generally not very noticeable.
It was not until this time that Cai Yong knew that so many people had been arranged by Lu Bu to come in his own mansion, obviously Lu Bu was worried about his own safety and was specially sent to protect his land.
If you know this at other times, even if you know that the other party is well-intentioned, you will instinctively feel disgusted, but at this moment, Cai Yong is only moved and emotional, many princes say that Lu Bu is a slave with three surnames, but he knows that Lu Bu is a good man who is affectionate and upright, but it's a pity that his stupid daughter hasn't thought about coming back now, and he doesn't know how she is doing there?
Just when Cai Yong was thinking nonsense there, Lu Bu's face also showed gloom for the first time after entering Luoyang City, because he got the news: "We may have been discovered......" (to be continued......
