Chapter 109: Fighting for Gold and Silver

After Sun Jian rejected Li Dao's proposal, he led his men and horses to leave Dagu Pass and set off towards Luoyang.

Dagu Pass is about 90 miles away from Luoyang, and Sun Jian can reach Luoyang in almost a day by traveling all the way. Now Yuan Shu has reinforced Sun Jian with another 3,000 men and horses, and Sun Jian now has a total of more than 13,000 men and horses under his command, and his momentum is regaining strength.

Just when Sun Jian was less than thirty miles away from Luoyang City, he suddenly ordered the whole army to turn around and turn west. It turned out that the detectives in Sun Jian's army had another army on the west side of Luoyang.

This army is Lu Bu and his men. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo ordered Lü Bu to withdraw from Xiaopingjin to Chang'an, but in fact, he secretly ordered Lü Bu to dig up the tombs between the emperors' tombs in the western suburbs of Luoyang City and steal the gold and silver treasures in them for military expenses. It turned out that Dong Zhuo was now short of military spending, so he asked Lu Bu to help with it.

Originally, Dong Zhuo wanted Dong Shouye to do this, but he was strongly opposed by Li Ru, and Li Ru's reason for opposition was very simple, that is, he couldn't let Dong Shouye lose his reputation.

Dong Zhuo thought about it again and again, feeling that his reputation was already very bad, and he really couldn't let his son have a bad reputation like himself. So let Lu Bu come to the top cylinder.

Lu Bu was very depressed after receiving the order, no one would be idle to dig up people's ancestral graves, if he was not forced to do this, who would do this kind of thing of cutting off children and grandchildren. But Lu Bu has no choice! Military orders are like mountains, and orders are hard to disobey! Although Lu Bu was unwilling to do so in his heart, he could only choose to dig other people's ancestral graves.

However, there is one thing that is better about this errand, that is, it is a large amount of oil and water, after all, it is the tomb of the emperors, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in it. After digging up the tomb, Lu Bu casually put a little bit in his waist bag, and it was enough.

Moreover, Lu Bu's buddy is not a master who is lightly manipulated by others, although these graves were dug by him with men and horses. But he buried a wooden plaque in almost every excavated grave that read: "Gravedigger Dong Zhuo." ”

The tombs of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty are concentrated near Beibi Mountain in the northwest of Luoyang City, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is excellent. The water of the Yellow River roars past from the side, looking north is the majestic and endless majestic Taihang Mountain, and under the feet is the Beibi Mountain, in short, it is a good place to go after death.

Royal mausoleum, feng shui treasure.

After Sun Jian found out that someone was digging the imperial tomb near the Imperial Mausoleum of Lu Bu, he was furious, and the people's hearts were declining. So he immediately ordered his troops to drive in the direction of the Emperor's Mausoleum to kill these tomb robbers.

After Sun Jian led his men and horses to the vicinity of the Emperors' Mausoleum, he sent spies to continue to investigate, and found that it was Lu Bu who was digging the tomb.

After all, Lu Bu is doing tomb robbery now, and he is a little weak-hearted, so he is afraid of being discovered. Basically all people who are engaged in the tomb robbery industry have this situation, they are afraid of being discovered, and they are very weak when they see someone coming, and sometimes they can scare themselves to death.

Lu Bu has now dug up almost all the imperial tombs that should be dug up, and the gold and silver treasures are also full of pots and bowls, and he has everything. So I didn't want to fight with Sun Jian, I just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible with my treasure.

Although Lu Bu didn't want to fight with Sun Jian, Sun Jian would not choose to let Lu Bu go because of this. Sun Jian's attack on Lü Bu was, on the one hand, angry at his audacity and the great crime of stealing and digging up the tombs of the emperors, and on the other hand, he also robbed Lü Bu of the ill-gotten gains obtained by stealing and digging up the emperor's tombs. After all, no one will have an enmity with money, and Sun Jian is not a disciple of Sage Confucius, so he will not look at any incivility, do not speak of incivility, and don't want ill-gotten wealth here.

In any era, the phrase that money is easy to do things will never be outdated, Sun Jian privately thought that if he could obtain this batch of treasures from Lu Bu, he could also use them to recruit troops and expand his strength in the future.

Therefore, Sun Jian has been biting Lu Bu tightly.

Lu Bu's subordinates were all cavalry, and they were originally very mobile, but now that there are thousands of carts of gold and silver treasures dug up from the Luoyang Imperial Mausoleum in the army, it is naturally impossible to get up quickly. These things are very scaled, and they have deep rut marks on the ground. The car was pulling the gold and silver treasures very slowly, and Lu Bu naturally wouldn't give Sun Jian a good face in order to protect the wealth he had worked so hard to dig up from the ground.

So Lu Bu himself led the men and horses to break off, and let his generals take the treasure first.

If you want to talk about Lu Bu's ability to lead the cavalry, it is the best in the world, and no one can compare, at least now. Lu Bu divided his 5,000 cavalry into two parts, of which 3,000 cavalry escorted the gold and silver treasures first, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry were led by himself to fight against Sun Jian and break off the gold and silver treasures.

There is a saying: wealth moves people's hearts. Lu Bu and Sun Jian also fought hard to compete for this batch of treasures.

Lu Bu's soldiers and horses and vehicles ran in front, and Sun Jian and his foot soldiers chased wildly behind, but fortunately, the vehicles escorting gold and silver treasures in Lu Bu's army walked very slowly, otherwise Sun Jian and his infantry would really not be able to catch up. When Lu Bu saw Sun Jian, he chased after him, so he led his men and horses to turn around and charge Sun Jian's army. The men under his command are all excellent riders, and they are perfect at controlling the horses. More than 2,000 cavalrymen almost moved in unison, galloping together, and when they approached Sun Jian's troops, they released arrows together. A rain of arrows fired, and everyone immediately turned around and returned. Although Sun Jian's army also had archers, they couldn't reach Lu Bu's cavalry at all. Lu Bu's style of play is to dip and go, without hesitation, and do not give Sun Jianjun time to react at all. By the time the archers in Sun Jian's army returned fire, the opponent had already retreated out of range.

Sun Jian's army also had some strong crossbows, that is, crossbows, but the number was too small to effectively suppress Lü Bu's cavalry. There are quite a few crossbows, but the problem is that the range of this crossbow is not as good as that of a normal strong bow.

Seeing that the bow and crossbow troops in the army could not form an effective suppression of the enemy, but were suppressed by the enemy, Sun Jian was angry, but he was helpless. Sun Jian was ruthless, regardless of Lu Bu's cavalry, he pursued Lu Bu's convoy with all his might, even if he suffered losses, he still chose to attack.

This immediately had an effect, and after Sun Jianjun's soldiers desperately snatched a few carts of gold and silver treasures from Lu Bu's convoy transporting gold and silver treasures, Lu Bu was immediately anxious. It seems that Sun Jian's move is above Lu Bu's vital point.

Lu Bu is a person who loves gold and silver treasures, and when Li Su lobbied Lu Bu to serve Dong Zhuo, he relied on gold beads and red rabbit horses.
