Chapter 24: As a Strategist

Brother Huaxiong's back point has not ended here, the distance from Bishui Pass to Luoyang is not far, and it can be reached in half a day under the attack of fast horses, when Li Su's letter was delivered to Dong Zhuo of Jinluan Palace, tragedy happened;

"! This group of Kanto crickets! Dong Zhuo angrily threw the bamboo slip to the ground, Li Ru stepped forward to pick it up and look at it, his face was not very good, he signaled to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo understood that God dispersed the court officials and little emperors who were separated from him, leaving his own henchmen;

Li Ru pondered: "Xiangguo, Huaxiong did not listen to the order to stick to the Bishui Pass, went out to fight without authorization, was captured by the princes' coalition army, and lost more than half of the more than 30,000 soldiers under his command, although Li Su collected the rout, there were only more than 35,000 soldiers left in his hands, the soldiers were newly defeated, and the morale was gone. ”

"How's that to be?" Dong Zhuo was a little flustered, after all, the coalition army had nearly 600,000 horses, more than twice as many as him, no matter how mediocre Dong Zhuo was, he still understood the obvious military strength comparison;

Whenever Dong Zhuo had something difficult to solve, he would ask Li Ru;

Whether it is his old subordinates Li Dao and Guo Yan, or the current godson Lu Bu in his heart, he is not as reliable as Li Ru; When Dong Zhuo came to prominence, Li Ru took refuge in him, and in order to win Li Ru, he promised him all his daughters;

Li Ru did not disappoint him, Pingqiang, the Yellow Turban, the Domination of Xiliang, the Tiger Eye on the Central Plains, and now the title of Tianxian and the hegemony of the Dynasty are all Li Ru's ideas, but Dong Zhuo has disappointed Li Ru more and more, he has been eroded by Luoyang's ** life, and his ambition has long disappeared;

According to Li Ru's original plan, he slowly developed his strength under the supervision of the imperial court, and when Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, died, provoked eunuchs and relatives to attack each other, and then took advantage of the weakness to enter, and then coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, based on Liangzhou and Hedong, to annex and annex the state, sweep Sizhou, and then plot against Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou!

At that time, when most of the world falls into their hands, isn't it enough to show their ambition to be the emperor or something? It's a pity that the previous plan was completed very well, but the great opportunity in the back was easily buried by Dong Zhuo, and he exposed his ambitions prematurely;

No matter what, Li Ru, who is loyal to people, is still helping Dong Zhuo to support this crisis-ridden situation, hoping that Dong Zhuo can wake up, be ashamed and brave, and sweep the world;

"The only way to do this is to fight to the death with the coalition forces! If we retreat to Xiliang now, we will gain nothing, but will become the public enemy of the world; Xiliang Xiao is good at field battles, and invests all his forces in Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, forming a horn momentum, and defeating the princes' coalition army in one fell swoop in the field! Li Ru said ruthlessly;

He hopes to see his future through this battle, whether Dong Zhuo will rule the world and become the lord of the world, or will he ·····

"And the time must be fast, tomorrow at this time must drive the army to the front line, there are a lot of filth within the coalition army, they can't reach a consensus for a while, they won't attack Bishui Pass in a short time, as long as they negotiate it, Bishui Pass will be dangerous!" , Li Ru reminded;

"If I leave, if someone in this Luoyang City rises up against me, won't I be attacked on both sides?" , Dong Zhuo was quite hesitant;

"Take the little emperor directly with Xiangguo! Kill Yuan Huai, the leader of the Shi clan, again! In this way, you can deter those people from moving! It seems to be a common word, but it determines the life and death of hundreds of lives, and Li Ru, who is decisive in killing, will not leave any troubles;

"Good! Lu Bu listens to orders! Dong Zhuo made up his mind and immediately gave orders;

Lu Bu stepped out: "The end will be!" ”

"Order you to lead 30,000 troops for the vanguard and go to the Tiger Prison Pass! Take on the Kwantung princes! ”

"No!"

"Zhang Ji! Fan Chou! Li Li! "The end will be! ”

"The three of you led an army of 50,000 to aid Bishui Pass! Remember! Don't fight, just defend it until I go to the final battle with the coalition forces! ”

"No!" , the three of them promised, and went down to prepare to go;

"Li Ru!" "The minister is here!" "Rectify the military horses!" Let's go tomorrow! Decisive battle against the Kwantung Coalition! ”

··············· Dividing line

Looking at Hua Xiong who was carried in, Cao Ren couldn't help but ask, "Why did Mr. capture Hua Xiong alive?" Cut it off! This is also what Cao Cao was puzzled about, and he also stared at Li Yu with blazing eyes, wondering why;

"Whew!" , The weather was cold, Li Yu blew two breaths to warm his hand, "I am also a person under the boss, so I naturally have to think about the boss, no matter how bad this Huaxiong is, it is also for the fierce general, and the boss also said: The success of the great cause is the first in the talent; I'm not optimistic about the coalition forces, nor am I optimistic about Dong Zhuojun, this war is at most an unwinnable and undefeated situation, I am thinking about it, if! We are at war with the Xiliang Army! Huaxiong's role is great! ”

Ooh! Good guy, this is someone who looks at one step and thinks several steps!

"Sir, I might as well have a long-term vision!" , Cao Ren sighed;

"Huh! So you can only be a good general, not a strategist! Cao Cao smiled, but it was obvious that it was a very reluctant laugh;

"The boss is deflated again?" , Li Yu asked with a smile;

"Those who know me, Li Huaide also!" , Cao Cao sat directly on the ground with some dejection, and scolded angrily: "A group of wine bags and rice bags!" Does the Han dynasty depend on them to save it? What a good opportunity, as long as the coalition forces work together, with all the siege equipment in place, they will be able to break through the water pass within half a day! ”

"The boss is wrong!" Li Yu shook his head: "You think too highly of them!" Although the princes of the Eighteenth Route claimed to have more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, most of them were rabble and could not be used; ”

"The most elite troops are the white horse Yicong of Gongsun Chan of Youzhou Thorn History, the iron cavalry of Xiliang Ma Teng, and the Jiangdong Army of Sun Jian of Changsha, among which the troops of Gongsun Chan and Ma Teng are cavalry and cannot bear the heavy task of attacking the city, and Sun Jian has been heartbroken by the Yuan brothers, and it is impossible to die again!"

"It's up to the rest of these people to attack the city... Not only can it not be attacked, but it will also damage the morale of the coalition army, it is better to continue to put pressure on Dong Zhuo and force him to fight a decisive battle, with the condition that Dong Zhuo's field combat ability is outstanding, I think he will choose to fight in the field, and the coalition army may be able to rely on the advantage in numbers... Let's win! They didn't agree with you, but they were a good choice! ”

"Hahaha! Mr. Takami! I'm too obsessed! Li Yu's persuasion sword went sideways, but Cao Cao was much happier, and he pounced on the sand on his body, Cao Cao laughed: "Hungry!" Walk! I went to eat, I was holding my stomach just now, and it's time to make up for it now! ”

At this time, there were two more people among the princes of the Eighteen Roads who were very depressed, and they were also the first to withdraw from the celebration banquet like Cao Cao, one was Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and the other was Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao;

Speaking of these two people who have something to do with Cao Cao, Bao Xin is also a knowledgeable person, he once persuaded Yuan Shao to get rid of Dong Zhuo when he first arrived in Luoyang and was fledgling, but he was not adopted, so that it caused disaster, and he met Cao Cao as a child, and he also had a friendship;

The reason why he was depressed was that his brother Bao Zhong was dead, and his interest was not high these days, and Hua Xiong, who killed his brother, was still in Cao Cao's line, he wanted to beg Cao Cao to kill Hua Xiong, but he couldn't speak, he was depressed;

The reason why Zhang Miao was depressed was that when he saw Dian Wei capture Hua Xiong today, he felt that Dian Wei seemed to be very familiar, and if he looked closely, wasn't it his own Yamen flag? When he returned to the camp, he saw several healthy horses tied to the door of his big tent, and the general Huang proudly told him that he had only been a reckless man in exchange for ten horses;

Zhang Miao was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but fortunately, he still remembered that he was the one who helped him raise troops, so he had to swallow it in his stomach;
