"Hehehe, you still remember the covenant! Your lord said that this Luoyang and I last negotiated between east and west, but why did Lu always find those 'unconscious' Xiliang soldiers in Dongcheng? I, Lu Bu, have never let me cross the border with the soldiers of the state, why do the Xiliang soldiers under the command of your lord trample on the agreement? Also, why haven't I received the reward that your lord promised me and the state army? Usually you don't pay attention to this covenant, but now that the catastrophe is coming, you think of it? Hum! Lu Bu said coldly.

"Please General Lu Mingjian, most of the Xiliang sergeants under my lord are barbarians who don't understand the rules. These barbarians have been following my lord for a long time, and my lord is unwilling to blame them for this little thing, so they have developed the bad habit of acting recklessly. Since General Lu can't get used to these Xiliang sergeants, the next time the general sees a sergeant who has crossed the line, the general will execute it himself.

As for the money that the general said should have been rewarded to the soldiers of the state, it was really because the palace recently needed to repair the palace that burned down due to the palace rebellion some time ago, and there was no money left for a while, so the money was not handed over to the general in time. But now that my lord has accumulated some of the money, the money promised to the general can be delivered at the latest. Li Ru deserves to be Dong Zhuo's chief think tank, and the few excuses proposed by Lu Bu were easily solved by him in a blink of an eye.

Of course, Lu Bu didn't want to rely on these excuses that couldn't be put on the stage to regret the alliance he made with Dong Zhuo. He just wanted to test what kind of mentality Dong Zhuo was holding on to his merger with the state army now, if Li Ru was entangled in those few excuses, it would mean that Dong Zhuo did not need the merger of the state army very much, and Li Ru solved these small problems so happily, which meant that Dong Feifei behind him very much needed the joining of the state army to fight against the Kwantung coalition army. Or to put it another way, Dong Feifei didn't want to fight hard with the Kwantung princes, but Lu Bu stayed in Luoyang leisurely to recuperate.

"If Dong Xiangguo can do this, then I and the state soldiers are willing to fulfill the promise of jointly resisting the Kwantung Coalition Army back then! Please tell Dong Xiangguo that when the Xiangguo main formation sets out, we and the state army will also march together. Lu Bu pretended to be overjoyed.

After listening to what Lu Bu said, Li Ru frowned and said, "Why does the general have to wait for my lord's main formation to be dispatched before he is willing to send troops?" My lord and I had already seen the elite of General Lu's army in the Xiqiang Rebellion, and such an elite and incomparable army should be the vanguard of our rebellious army this time. ”

Lu Bu smiled lightly and said: "I am not a soldier in the state because I haven't practiced for too long, and I am tired, as the saying goes, if you don't grind your gun in battle, you will be bright even if you are not happy." I am going to take them to practice more during this time, and when Dong Xiangguo's main formation is dispatched, it will be the time for me and the state army to show their skills. ”

Li Ru secretly scolded Lu Bu for being cunning in his heart, obviously worried that his lord would use them and the state army as cannon fodder, but he said the reason so openly. But Lu Bu had already agreed to the request to send troops, so Li Ru had no choice but to say: "Then my lord will send out the main formation, and I hope that General Lu can keep his promise and come to fight with us against the Kwantung coalition army." ”

Lu Bu nodded: "This is natural, as long as Dong Xiangguo does not forget to send the reward promised to us and the state army in these two days, our army will definitely accompany Dong Xiangguo when he dispatches his army." ”

"I hope so, then I won't bother General Lu. Leave! Li Ru casually arched his hand and left in a hurry.

"Hehe, the lord didn't forget to knock Dong Zhuo at this time." Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, who had recovered his original appearance after Li Ru left, and said with a smile.

Lu Bu took a sip of the glass of wine on the desk, and ignored the sound of Zhang Fei and Dian Wei, the two drunkards behind him, swallowing saliva, and said: "If I don't ask for anything at all, I'm afraid that with the surnames of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, I will suspect that I Lu Bu has some conspiracy." So I simply went directly to Dong Zhuo for a knock, which could not only eliminate the suspicions of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, but also earn a lot of money for me and the state army, why wouldn't I do the best of both worlds? ”

"Then how is the lord going to plan this campaign against the Kwantung princes? After all, if one is not careful, Dong Zhuo will use our and the state army as cannon fodder to block the alliance of the Kwantung princes, and when the time comes, it will definitely hurt the vitality of our and the state army, and will instead make Dong Zhuo's wedding dress. Chen Gong, who was cautious and resourceful, said solemnly.

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "I expect that this war will not be a life-and-death battle between the two sides, but most of them will stay in a stalemate battle and a military general competition. Because most of the soldiers of the princes' alliance are the capital they rely on to dominate all places, whoever really wants to fight all these capitals on this battlefield will definitely be the first to be eliminated in the future struggle for hegemony.

And although I know that this battle will not happen in a life-and-death battle that is too depleting of troops, but for the sake of insurance, I will only lead the Iron Cavalry of the United States that has just arrived from the state to support as the main force of this campaign. At that time, in the event of a major battle, as long as we do not penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland by relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry, there will definitely not be too many casualties. The rest of the infantry army will be handed over to General Wu Kuang and my second brother Gao Shun to command, and will remain in Luoyang as a guarantee for our Luoyang East City and the supply of grain and grass. In order to prevent accidents, all the gentlemen also stayed in Luoyang to wait for our news. ”

"I see, the lord is thoughtful and I can't wait. Since the lord has already made arrangements, of course we will follow the lord's orders. Chen Gong said happily

Dividing line

"Li Xuan, after our family goes out of battle, you lead 100,000 Xiliang soldiers to our family to watch Luoyang Xicheng. Remember that the most important ones to keep an eye on are Lü Bu's military camp in the east of the city, as well as the residences of some court ministers. As long as you can insist on keeping Luoyang Xicheng before our family defeats the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes, then our family will definitely give you a heavy reward when they come back! Dong Zhuo solemnly handed over the tiger talisman symbolizing the power of the 100,000 Xiliang army commanders to his first general, Li Xuan.

"The subordinates will do their best, and they will never live up to the trust of the lord in his subordinates!" Li Xun knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

"In order to give you a better defense of Luoyang West City in the future, our family will behead Yuan Shao, the uncle of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, that is, Yuan Kui, the third prince of the dynasty, before leaving the city. That is, it eliminated the danger that Yuan Shao relied on his uncle Yuan Kui to cooperate with the outside world, and also let Taifu Yuan Kui come to sacrifice the flag for our nephew Yuan Shao, who was about to go to war.

Moreover, our family also used a large amount of money to transfer most of the east Lu Bu of Luoyang City and the state army out of Luoyang City, our family will do all these things, if you can't hold Luoyang West City, then when our family returns to the division, it will be the time when your head lands! Do you understand? Dong Zhuo shouted.

Li Xun hurriedly shouted: "The subordinates understand, if the subordinates can't hold the west city of Luoyang like this, then there is no need for the lord to do it, the subordinates will take off their heads and send them to the lord to make urinals!" ”

"Good! The west of Luoyang City will be handed over to you, Li Xuan. Guo Yan listens to orders! Now we order you to take 50,000 Xiliang soldiers as the vanguard, and kill the coalition army of the Kwantung princes in the first place to meet the Bishui Pass! Dong Zhuo turned around and issued an order to Guo Yan on the side.

Guo Yan was about to step forward to receive the order, when a person suddenly rushed out and shouted: "Use a knife to cut chickens? General Guo did not go in person. If the lord is willing to use me as a pioneer, the heads of the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the eastern part of the country will be like probing the ears of the bag! ”

Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at it, his body was nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf's waist, and a leopard's head and ape arms. It is a brave general Hua Xiong who has a lot under his account. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately added Huaxiong as a lieutenant. A total of more than 50,000 troops were sent to the Xiliang Army, and Hua Xiong, together with Li Su, Hu Zhen, Zhao Cen and others, went to Bishui Pass to meet the vanguard of the Kwantung princes.

Here, Hua Xiong stepped out of the north gate of Luoyang with great dignity, and when he passed by the east gate of Luoyang, he didn't expect to meet a god-like man - Wen Hou Lu Bu! Hua Xiong has always been courageous, but he has not been greatly used under Dong Zhuo's account. In the past, when he stayed in Luoyang with nothing to do, he secretly went to Lu Bu's army to learn martial arts from Lu Bu because he admired the martial arts spread by Lu Bu in the world. After several encounters were defeated by Lu Bu without suspense, Hua Xiong and Lu Bu became more diligent. Lu Bu suddenly rode alone this time, which made Hua Xiong, who had a close personal relationship with Lu Bu, suddenly a little confused.

Lu Bu slowly stepped forward and said, "General Huaxiong is going to meet the enemy at Bishui Pass on the orders of Dong Xiangguo?" ”

After Hua Xiong respectfully saluted Lu Bu, he said with a smile: "Hua Mou is exactly as General Lu said, and he went to Bishui Pass to meet the Kwantung rats on the military order of Dong Xiangguo!" When Hua returns victoriously, he will definitely go to have a good discussion with General Lu again. ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Do you remember that I calculated a hexagram for you on a whim?" ”

Hua Xiong said with a somewhat surprised face: "That time General Lu suddenly said that I would be defeated by a red-faced man in a big battle?" ”

"That's right! And this time I heard that you are going to Bishui Pass, and I will calculate a hexagram for you again. That red-faced man is a fierce general who uses a big sword, if you believe me Lu Bu, you must retreat when you meet a red-faced general who uses a sword, so that you can seek a glimmer of life, "Lu Bu actually doesn't want to see Hua Xiong, a military general with extraordinary strength and the ability to lead troops, die under Guan Yu's very strange three swords. Anyway, Lu Bu's words have already been said, and as for whether Hua Xiong listens to it or not, it can only depend on himself
