Chapter 60: Meet Again
After Lu Bu broke through, Dong Shouye arranged for his subordinates to count the results.
After a few days of fighting, the 10,000 wolf cavalry under Lu Bu can be said to have been damaged by more than half, and only 5,000 men and horses successfully broke through, while Dong Shouye's own losses were only more than 1,000.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Dong Shouye arranged for the soldiers to rest on the spot, and then led the troops to Chang'an on the second day.
After inflicting heavy losses on Lu Bu, Dong Shouye was even more confident in attacking Chang'an City.
According to the information collected by Dong Shouye, there were originally more than 50,000 people in Chang'an City, plus some of the temporary conscriptions, it should be 60,000 or 70,000. Previously, he had designed to annihilate the 30,000 horses under the command of Huangfu Song near the dock, and forced a generation of famous generals Huangfu Song to kill himself with a horizontal sword, and now he has broken Lu Bu's 10,000 horses, so that there can be at most 35,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, and according to Dong Shouye's speculation, the actual number should be less than 30,000.
In this way, the disparity in strength is even greater, even if Chang'an City is a strong city, if there are not enough men and horses to guard it, it will be given in vain.
After arranging all the matters, Dong Shouye led the army to march out, and soon arrived at the city of Chang'an.
Before Dong Shouye's army arrived, Dong Min, Zhang Liao, Yang Feng and others had already sent people to respond.
After Dong Min saw Dong Shouye, he laughed and said: "The lord is really like a god with soldiers, then Lu Bu prides himself on being a flying general, but he didn't expect that he was indeed defeated one after another in the hands of the lord today, which is really happy!" ”
Seeing this, Dong Shouye said: "It is all up to all the soldiers to fight bravely, and this general can defeat Lu Bu!" ”
After finishing speaking, he said a few words of humility, and praised the generals around him by the way, which made his subordinates even more happy.
After a few words, Dong Shouye sat on his mount and looked at Chang'an City not far away, how majestic, he didn't expect that he would raise troops to attack today, the truth is unpredictable!
After expressing his feelings, Dong Shouye arranged for the army to camp thirty miles away from Chang'an City.
Not long after he finished his busy work, a herald asked to see him.
Dong Shouye was preparing to convene the generals in the big tent at this time, and when he heard this, he let him in.
After the herald entered the big tent, Dong Shouye found that the herald was not under his own account and asked, "Who are you under the tent?" ”
The herald saluted Dong Shouye, and then said, "General Qiqi Zhengxi, his subordinates are heralds under General Niu Fu. ”
Dong Shouye was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What news do you want your general to convey to the general?" ”
The herald said: "General Qiqi Zhengxi, my general ordered the villain to come to Tongyu, my general should lead the army on the way to Chang'an, and he can reach the city of Chang'an tomorrow, please make a decision to General Zhengxi?" ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he said secretly: "Sure enough, it was Niu Fu who led the army to join me, the eldest brother-in-law, the second brother-in-law, and it didn't disappoint me!" Then he said: "I will order General Yu Niu Fu, and let him lead the army to the city of Chang'an to meet with Ben General." ”
When the herald heard this, he clasped his fists and saluted, "No! Inform General Niu Fu immediately! When he had finished speaking, he was ordered to retreat.
Dong Min looked at Dong Shouye, who was full of interest, and said, "Shouye, Wen You can be in the Niu Auxiliary Army?" ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he replied: "Back to the third uncle, the eldest brother-in-law is indeed with the second brother-in-law, and when he was in Chang'an City before, he was separated from everyone and sneaked to Hedong alone, and sent troops with the second brother-in-law. Then when the army set up camp, there was a camp roar in the middle of the night, which almost caused a catastrophe, thanks to the eldest brother-in-law in the army, which stopped the rebellion and did not cause a tragedy! ”
When Dong Min heard this, he nodded and said: "Wen You is loyal to the second brother, no one can compare, and this person is talented, he is a handsome man in the sea, there will be no chaos in his army in Niu Fu, you have to treat him well in the future." ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he smiled and said: "The eldest brother-in-law is very resourceful, and he is also a generation of good assistants, if it were not for him, my Xiliang Army would not be able to have today, that is, when the little nephew led the army, thanks to his strong support, the little nephew must be obedient to him!" ”
Dong Min listened, nodded with a smile, and said, "I can rest assured that I have your words!" ”
At noon on the second day, Niu Fu really led the army to the city of Chang'an.
Dong Shouye took a group of generals out of the gate to greet him.
After Niu Fu saw Dong Shouye, he walked quickly in front of Dong Shouye alone, knelt down directly towards Dong Shouye, and then said loudly: "The last general, Niu Fu, have seen the lord!" ”
Dong Shouye was shocked when he saw this, but he was also overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Niu Fu, and said: "Second brother-in-law, you and I are dear brothers, how can this be the case, from now on, there is no need to make this great gift!" ”
When Niu Fu heard this, he knocked heavily on the ground a few times, then raised his head and said loudly: "Lord, this is not possible, although the lord and I are brothers, we are also monarchs and ministers. As the so-called etiquette cannot be abolished, Niu Fu, as a subordinate, must salute when he sees the lord, if the etiquette is not careful, wouldn't it make the princes of the world laugh at my Xiliang Army for not knowing the number of etiquette! This is absolutely impossible! ”
This double reed is a good performance!
Niu Fu led a large army to come, with a heavy army in his hands and a prestige in the Xiliang army, Dong Shouye must have tried his best to win him over.
And Niu Fu was originally a rough person, and he would not have thought of these details, which were all taught to him by Li Confucianism.
Li Ru knew that Dong Shouye would be worried about his lack of prestige, so in front of the eyes of more than 100,000 soldiers in the whole army, he asked Niu Fu, a powerful general of the Xiliang Army, to kneel down and salute Dong Shouye, just to help Dong Shouye improve his prestige in the army.
As a powerful faction, Niu Fu knelt down to Dong Shouye, looking convinced, and the others had to weigh how many catties and taels they had!
This time, Niu Fu came to visit Dong Shouye with some guards, but was stopped by Li Ru.
Li Ru's reason for saying to Niu Fu is very simple, he wants to hand over his net worth and life to Dong Shouye, and completely trust Dong Shouye.
After Niu Fu thought about it for a while, he did not hesitate to follow Li Ru's advice.
Dong Shouye looked at Niu Fu's appearance, he was very happy in his heart, and after helping him up, he walked to Li Ru's side, took Li Ru's hand, looked at Li Ru with some excitement, and said slowly: "Brother-in-law, you have worked hard!" ”
Li Ru looked at Dong Shouye's complicated expression, he couldn't tell whether he was excited or pleased, he held Dong Shouye's hand tightly, and said: "I have heard about what the lord has done over the past few days, and he has done a very good job, if my father-in-law can see it under Jiuquan, he must be extremely pleased." ”
