(78) Zhang Ji was angry and turned red, and Li Ru was miserably speared

Duting camp, since the early morning, the bad news has been passed to Dong Zhuo's ears one after another, Yang Feng rebelled, Li Su rebelled, dedicated the emperor to the west, Dong Wen was killed, at this time Luoyang has been firmly controlled by Lu Bu in his hands, at this time Dong Zhuo regretted very much that he did not return to Luoyang immediately after the defeat in the Tiger Prison Pass, he had to stay in Duting for five days, it was these five days that gave Lu Bu the opportunity to make him take advantage of the tiger to occupy Luoyang, Li Ru who received the news immediately rushed to Dong Zhuo's tent and Dong Zhuo to discuss, at this time Li Dao Guo Yan had already taken the troops to Chang'an, There are only Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji, Wen Ping, and a few partial generals who escaped from Bishui Guan by his side, and the only one who can be trusted is his son-in-law. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Ru carefully analyzed the battle situation and discussed with Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, now that the situation has become like a sharp arrow on the string, all the chess pieces we are ambushing in the shadows must be launched now." When Dong Zhuo heard this, although he had some understanding, he said with a headache: "Now that our retreat is blocked, how to pass on the news." When Li Ru heard this, he smiled and said, "Didn't your father-in-law forget Wang Yue?" When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he stood up and said, "Isn't it the Wang Yue who entered Helan and fought alone with hundreds of Qiang soldiers and then retreated with his whole body after killing the leader of the enemy army. Li Ru smiled and said nothing: "Mr. Wang Yue, everything is entrusted to you." As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a green coat and a mask walked in.

The camp of the Duting coalition army, at this moment the princes of the Eighteen Roads except Cao Cao and Kong Rong all arrived at Qi, with Huwei general Zhao Yun and Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan at the head, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Xian, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Xiliang Zhongwu Captain Ma Dai, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao supported 300,000 troops into one place and surrounded Dong Zhuo's army within a radius of 60 miles. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's only few remaining subordinate generals did not dare to be careless, led by Zhang Jiwenpin, they used 80,000 flying bear troops to divide into two teams, relying on the terrain outside the camp to lay out four lines of defense, the first line of defense was spliced with boulders, and the yellow mud was painted to build a high wall, which was arranged with the most elite archers and strong bows and crossbows, with a range of up to 100 steps, Zhang Ji relied on this first line of defense to repel Zhang Fei's almost life-threatening charge, and annihilated all of his six hundred white horses, and he himself was also hit by three arrows, if it wasn't for Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, Pang De's two fierce generals went to the rescue in person, Zhang Yide was afraid that ten thousand arrows had pierced his heart, and most of the troops brought by Rao was also killed and injured by Zhang Ji's archers. The second line of defense is the hidden arrows that stretch for five miles, densely arranged on the ground, specially to deal with the cavalry of the princes' coalition army, the third line of defense is the fire bull array designed by Li Ru himself, with thousands of fierce bulls to form a formation, each cow is covered with heavy armor, and the heavy armor carries sulfur dry firewood, whenever the brute bull hits, it ignites the dry firewood, and imitates the method of Qi Guotian to attack, and the fourth line of defense is also Dong Zhuo's last line of defense, which is composed of more than 100,000 dead soldiers gathered into the four elephants and six arrays, If you want to kill Dong Zhuo, you must first break through the four lines of defense, although the princes' coalition forces can't help Dong Zhuo for a while, but Dong Zhuo wants to break through is not so easy, in Chen Gong, Xun You, Jia Xu and Xun Yu's uncle Xun Yu who came not long ago, Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zhan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei each brought a pair of four directions to set up layers of obstacles, Ma Dai with the Xiliang cavalry back and forth, Wen Ping, Zhang Xiu also led the Flying Bear Army three times in a vain attempt to break through, were repelled by the defenders of the Quartet, and the battle situation has since fallen into a stalemate.

On this day, Zhang Xiu was patrolling the camp when he suddenly saw a convoy coming in the distance, the alert Zhang Xiu immediately ordered the archer Zhang Gong to take arrows to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, and when the convoy approached, Zhang Xiu was suddenly surprised, the person who drove the car turned out to be the housekeeper left by his uncle in Luoyang, only to see the old housekeeper trembling under the high wall and shouting: "I am tired of reporting, just say that the wife of General Zhenwei Zhang Ji came to defect!" Since the fall of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo knew that he couldn't hide it for long, so he immediately summoned his subordinates after Wang Yue set off to tell everyone the reason for the incident, most of the subordinates of the Xiliang Army followed Dong Zhuo all the way from Liangzhou, and there was not much nostalgia for Luoyang, only a family person like Zhang Ji had some scruples about this matter, it is said that Zhang Ji had already married Zou and had always left his beloved wife in Dai County, which was close to Liangzhou, just because Dong Zhuo saw Dong Zhuo's high-spirited posture before entering Beijing. Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and took his beloved wife to Luoyang, who would have thought that Dong Zhuo would be so vulnerable in the face of Lu Bu's attack, first lose the Bishui Pass, and then lose the Tiger Prison Pass, thinking about rushing back to Luoyang, but Zhao Yun took the eight princes with more than 100,000 people to detour through the Bishui Pass and block the Duting first, since he heard that Luoyang had fallen, and the life and death of his beloved wife were unknown, Zhang Xiu saw his uncle patrolling the army every day, and his heart was also very sad, and now seeing the old housekeeper, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but shout overjoyed: "Steward Wu, Aunt Zou can be in the car? ”

When the Zou family in the car heard this, he motioned to the maid next to him to pull the curtain and appear in front of Zhang Xiu: "Thanks to the little general, the concubine is fine, the general should not be suspicious, please let him enter the camp as soon as possible!" Seeing that his aunt was safe and sound, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Open the camp gate quickly!" "Wait!" As soon as the words fell, Li Ru's voice came from behind him, Zhang Xiu turned around, and saw Li Ru walking up with twenty guards under the protection of Meng Anlang, the deputy general on the left and right.

Li Ru looked at the Zou family under the wall, and then said coldly to Zhang Xiu: "Little general, if you are so reckless, if it is the enemy's meticulous work that leads to chaos, can you bear this responsibility?" Zhang Xiu has been brave and fearless since he joined the army, and he must charge forward every time he fights, which left a deep impression on Li Ru, and the private communication between the two was also quite speculative, at this time Zhang Xiu did not notice the dissatisfaction in Li Ru's words, but said nonchalantly: "Wenyou is too cautious, my aunt takes me like a child, how can I recognize my mother wrongly, don't hesitate to open the door quickly." Saying that, Zhang Xiu bypassed Li Ru and was about to pull down the gate, but he heard Li Ru shouting: "Bold, come here, take Zhang Xiu down for me!" Zhang Xiu didn't expect Li Ru to really turn his face with himself, and was unguarded by two strong men with tigers on his back and waist pressed to the ground, Zhang Xiu's personal soldiers around him saw this and drew their swords to come out, but they were separated by the guards led by Li Ru, everyone saw that Li Ru's sword had been against Zhang Xiu's neck, so they didn't dare to move, the scene was controlled, Zhang Xiu saw Li Ru behaving like this, and he was also angry: "Li Wenyou, you dare to touch me?" Have you forgotten who put on your armor on the night of the fall of the Tiger Prison Pass to attract the attention of the enemy......" Li Ru interrupted unceremoniously: "Military law is not merciful, I Li Ru only know how to be loyal to the lord, if anyone dares to do something that threatens the lord's safety, I, Li Ru, will not tolerate it, come, shoot all these fine works for me." ”

At the same time, a sharp arrow pierced the air and shot at Li Ru's sword-holding right arm, taking advantage of everyone's dumbfounded, Zhang Xiu broke free from the control of the strong men around him, knocked them all to the ground with a punch, Li Ru raised his head, only to see Zhang Ji with three hundred personal soldiers angrily walked over and said coldly to Li Ru: "The city is my Zhang Ji's beloved wife, I see who dares to hurt her hair!" Saying that, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew held Li Ru hostage and opened the camp gate and walked out step by step, this remark was loud, the Zou family under the city couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard it, seeing that his husband was holding his boss hostage for himself, Zou hurriedly shouted: "Don't be angry, don't hurt your husband and his ministers because of the slave family, the slave family should go to Dai County to wait for the general, the general must take care!" Zhang Ji has always been very fond of this wife, how can he give up at this time, so he said: "Mrs. has no worries, and she will ensure that her husband is safe." As he was talking, Zhang Fei rushed over with hundreds of cavalry not far away, Zhang Ji couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly slapped Li Ru to the ground, and he quickly rushed forward to stop him and pick up Zou, at this time Zhang Fei had already arrived, and the snake spear in his hand had been raised high and aimed at Zhang Ji's back heart was about to be stabbed, Zhang Xiu saved his uncle and hurriedly grabbed the person closest to him, and he didn't care to see who he was, and threw it over. This Li Ru was hit by Zhang Ji's slap and was thrown over by Zhang Xiu before he could recover his senses, Zhang Fei picked up and rushed to Zhang Fei and threw it over, at this time Zhang Fei's spear had been pierced out, and suddenly a gust of wind rushed towards his face, Zhang Fei couldn't help but regret changing the trajectory of the Zhangba snake spear, and hit the spear crossbar out with his backhand, how powerful is Zhang Fei? A seemingly light move actually knocked Li Ru to the ground with blood spitting out blood, and Zhang Ji and his wife took advantage of this gap to run into the camp, Zhang Xiu saw that he had made a big disaster, and hurriedly rushed forward to rescue, Meng Anlang and Yao Qiguang in the city also commanded the archers to release arrows to cover, Zhang Fei could not attack, and was blocked by the rain of arrows, so he had to lead the troops to withdraw to his own camp, and Li Ru also picked up half a life.

Such a big twist and turn has already been reported to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and immediately rushed to the front line with two thousand flying bear troops, at this time Zhang Fei had already retreated, Li Ru was lying on the sickbed because of Zhang Fei's blow, vomiting blood, and his deputy general Meng Anlang told Dong Zhuo what happened, Dong Zhuo, who was still angry, heard that Zhang Ji's beautiful lady was coming, and his anger suddenly went down half, you must know that Dong Zhuo is lustful and known all over the world, This time he left Luoyang to go out to the Tiger Prison Pass, he brought hundreds of women for his enjoyment, but Zhang Fei burned him with a big fire, and when he stood in Duting, he found that the woman he brought had already run away, and the desire that had been suppressed for a long time was completely ignited at the moment Dong Zhuo saw Zou, only to see Dong Zhuo go straight around Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and walk in front of Zou and show his teeth: "Madame was frightened all the way, rest assured, this is the time to go home, our family, we will definitely keep Madame safe, ah!" Hahaha. Seeing this, Zhang Ji hurriedly blocked in front of his beloved wife and said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, there is a reason for today's incident, Zhang Ji doesn't dare to beg for forgiveness from the lord, but beg for meritorious service!" Dong Zhuo's interest was ruined all of a sudden, so Dong Zhuo brushed his sleeves and said: "It's good that you know it yourself, there will be a next time, our family will never spare you, tonight the camp will set up a banquet to entertain Mrs. Zun, you two must come." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhang Ji to answer, and left with the guards. Seeing Dong Zhuo walk away, Zou couldn't help but be scared out of a cold sweat, only to see her lying on Zhang Ji's shoulder and saying, "Husband, what does this lord mean?" Why is the slave family a little chilling! Zhang Ji patted his beloved wife's hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me Zhang Ji here, I will block the big things for you." ”

The coalition camp, Lu Bu had arrived as early as three days ago, and he had met his uncle Xun Yu under the recommendation of Xun You. Xun Yu (163-212), the character is ruo. A native of Yingyin, Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan). A famous politician and strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's chief strategist and hero of the unification of the north, was known as "Wang Zuozhicai". In terms of strategy, Xun Yu formulated a blueprint and military line for Cao Cao's plan to unify the north, and repeatedly revised Cao Cao's strategic policy and was praised by Cao Cao, including "deeply rooted in the foundation to control the world" and "welcome the Son of Heaven"; In terms of tactics, he once faced the rebellion of Lü Bu and protected the three cities of Yanzhou, plotted to strangle Yuan Shao in Guandu, and made many achievements such as the dangerous passage of Wan and Ye to cover his surprise attack on Jingzhou; In terms of politics, Cao Cao recommended a large number of talents such as Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia. Xun Yu has made many achievements in planning, plotting, Kuang Bi, and lifting people, and was called "my son's room" by Cao Cao. According to Xun Yu, although the coalition forces have the upper hand on the surface at present, it is not difficult to find that the coalition forces have not faced Dong Zhuo's main force in several battles, not to mention anything else, Dong Zhuo's 120,000 people were able to establish such a solid defense line in a blink of an eye in the case of panic and fleeing, which shows the strong combat power of Dong Zhuo's army. The more they talked, the more Lu Bu admired Xun Yu's insight, and Xun Yu himself was also impressed by Lu Bu's loyalty.

Zhang Fei returned to the camp, ignoring his brother Liu Bei's obstruction, and complained to Lu Bu on the spot: "General, it's too aggrieved to fight or not." This Zhang Ji has such a little ability, how high-spirited were you when you took us to break through his twelve camps in one morning outside the Tiger Prison Pass? Why is it cowardly today? When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed and said: "Yide is admired by the heroic spirit, but Dong Zhuo's more than 100,000 people are gathered together, if he forcibly breaks the formation, it will definitely cause heavy casualties to our army, so Feng Xiancai does not dare to attack without authorization, but Yide can rest assured, he will definitely let you kill within five days!" Isn't it, Wenhe? Jia Xu next to him stood out and said: "It's all up to the lord's orders." ”
