Chapter 237: Repeating the Old Trick
Thank you for the red reward of the book friend 'I'm a little kid'.
ββββ
Chen Cang, Lu Bu camp.
Lu Bu burned incense and set up a case, bathed and changed clothes, and led a group of generals to receive the holy decree of the Son of Daliang.
The little eunuch who came to deliver the decree stood at the top in a big way, glanced at the generals of the Bingzhou Army who knelt on the ground, and then slowly unfolded the holy decree and read it. β
"Minister, obey!"
Lu Bu Wuti β³wanβ³shuβ³ba, βanshβuba. threw himself to the ground, his butt pouted high, and when he heard this, he hurriedly got up and took the holy decree from the hands of the eunuch.
When the eunuch who came to deliver the decree was invited by his own soldiers to rest in the other courtyard, Lu Bu's face turned extremely blue in an instant.
Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Zang Ba and other generals also got up from the ground, all looking at each other.
"How can this be true, how can this be true!"
Lu Bu was angry like a lion, like a crab, and kept pacing around the hall.
Escort General, fuck Escort General!
Dong Zhuo's old thief is trying to tie himself up like a dog, how can Lu Bu not know.
But what can be done?
finally had a place to settle down, but it was taken away by Luo Zheng's gang.
Now under the fence, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he can only have a corner of Gou'an.
Now is not the first year of Zhongping, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, 3,000 soldiers and horses can lay down a piece of territory.
Today's princes in the world, which one is not holding a male soldier, what can a mere 3,000 soldiers and horses do.
Look at the surrounding neighbors, Luo Zheng, Zhang Lu, Duan Xuan, etc., which one does not hold tens of thousands of male soldiers. Lu Bu wanted to struggle under the noses of these strong neighbors, and in the end he could only be eaten and wiped clean by others.
"Luo Zhengpifu. Someone will never die with you! β
When Lu Bu thought of this, he couldn't help but be angry.
Originally, when it first came to settle down. There are still 20,000 troops under his command, which can be described as high-spirited and ambitious, and he doesn't want to lose his year, so he first suffered a big loss in Yuzhong, and was given a handful by Luo Zheng, and Ma Teng fought a defeat.
This loss was directly beaten back to before liberation, and he could no longer turn over.
Thinking about the hardships of these years, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Do your best. Painstaking management, finally have a weather, I don't want to end up or a void, still inevitably have to rely on people's breath, and preserve, is it really God has no eyes, has never taken care of himself?
At present, Dong Zhuo ordered himself to bring troops into Beijing, to go or not to go?
Lu Bu paced around the hall irritably, hesitating in his heart.
If the protest is not complied with. It is inevitable that he will openly tear his face with Dong Zhuo, and at that time, Duan Xuan's army will be overwhelmed, and he will have no choice but to abandon Chen Cang again, but Liangzhou has no place for himself. Although Guanzhong is big, where can you go?
After thinking about it, there is only one way to go.
Lu Bu let out a long sigh. His eyes were full of unwillingness.
Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing and other generals also sighed, except for going to Luoyang. There is no way out.
Three days later, 3,000 soldiers and horses sent by Duan Xuan rushed to Chencang. He was ordered to come and take over the defense of Chencang City.
Lu Bu had no choice but to hand over everything and lead 3,000 cavalry out of Chencang to Luoyang.
The tiger prison was closed, blood flowed and corpses were everywhere.
Li Dao's face was haggard, and he stood on the tower of the city gate with the support of the female wall, his face full of melancholy.
The Kwantung rebels didn't know what medicine they had taken, but they worked together day and night to storm the city, and in just over half a month, the Tiger Prison Pass was already in danger, if it weren't for the 10,000 troops under Xu Rong's command to arrive in time, I am afraid that it would have been impossible to hold it.
Within a few days, Li Dao had already sent three 800-mile expedited trips to Luoyang to report the emergency.
However, the imperial court had no troops to adjust, and only 20,000 recruits were left of Fan Chou, the general of the expedition to the north, who had to defend Luoyang, the capital division.
What's even worse is that after Liu Dai's death, the 30,000 army had fled to all parts of Yanzhou, but I don't know what means Cao Cao used to win it over, and about 20,000 soldiers gathered at the Tiger Prison Pass, becoming another main force of the coalition army.
What's even worse is that Li Dao sent 5,000 cavalry out of the Tiger Prison Pass to attack the coalition army to loot the Central Plains, but also for Cao Cao to see through, was designed by the princes to break it in one fell swoop, and the 5,000 cavalry was almost wiped out, so they didn't dare to move lightly.
To the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, a group of black-pressed foot soldiers pressed up again, ready to continue the siege.
Li Wei sighed, and had to fight his spirit and gather a large army to meet the enemy.
Luoyang North Palace, Deyang Palace.
Dong Zhuo looked around at the ministers and said in a panic: "The rebels of the Guan army are very urgent to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Luoyang portal will be lost, so what can I do?" β
The ministers looked at each other, you and I looked at each other, and they were speechless.
The Kwantung rebels attacked the Tiger Prison Pass so hard, which was really unexpected by everyone.
Originally, in everyone's assumption, the Kwantung princes had different intentions, and even if the rebels raised troops to serve the king, they would not be able to join forces. It was true at the beginning, the princes wanted to preserve their strength, and they were unwilling to do their best to attack the city.
However, it backfired, and the coalition forces suddenly joined forces to storm the Tiger Pass, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Li Dao reported three times a day, all of which were extremely bad news.
Dong Zhuo hasn't had a good night's sleep these days, hasn't eaten a good meal, and spent almost half of his time discussing with his ministers how to retreat from the enemy, and he didn't even care about dealing with the government, and under the huge pressure, his hair was half white.
Under the golden steps, in the middle of the court.
Li Ru sighed, and suddenly found that Dong Zhuo was already old, since he usurped the throne and ascended the throne and became emperor, most of the ambitions of the past years have been consumed.
However, when it comes to the fate of the Xiliang Army, it can't help but stand up.
Li Ru came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to retreat from the enemy, the minister thinks that he can follow the method of repelling the Kwantung rebels in the first year of Chuping, punish a general who can recruit good soldiers, and lead thousands of elite horsemen out of Jiguan to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains. At present, the armies of the Kwantung princes are all in the Tiger Pass, and the rear must be empty, if the backyard is on fire, the princes will inevitably retreat, and the Tiger Pass can be worry-free! β
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up for a moment, and he nodded again and again: "Good, according to Aiqing's opinion!" β
At this moment, suddenly a yellow gate attendant rushed into the main hall. Said loudly: "Qi XiΓ , escort General Lu Bu here!" β
"Lu Bu?"
Dong Zhuo showed a touch of deep thought. Then he said in a deep voice: "Xuan him in!" β
"Yes!"
Xiao Huangmen hurriedly received the will, turned his head and ran out again.
His Royal Highness's ministers turned their heads one after another. All of them looked weird.
"Silence!"
Li Ruda frowned, and the court exchanged heads and ears, what kind of system.
As the head of a hundred officials, how could he turn a blind eye and immediately snort coldly.
The hundred officials hurriedly silenced him, and he didn't dare to turn his head and ears again.
After a while, I saw the Huangmen squire leading Lu Bu up to the main hall with a meteor.
Lu Bu was empty-handed, although he was still heroic, he always felt that there was something more. After going up to the main hall, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed down to the ground, and sang: "The sons and daughters see their father, and I wish my father a thousand generations and a rule of the world!" β
All the officials secretly scolded shamelessness in their hearts, and even his father and emperor climbed up, which is really shameless.
Dong Zhuo's eyes were uncertain, and he looked at Lu Bu who was crawling on the ground for a long time before he said, "My son is flat!" β
Only then did Lu Bu stand up. His head hung slightly, his eyes fell to the ground, and he waited for his hair to fall.
Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time before he suddenly said, "Wu'er is out of Liangzhou." But it did not make a single achievement, and now not only lost Liangzhou, but also left only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the 20,000 army under his command. What do you think I should do with you? β
"The son is guilty!"
Lu Bu looked panicked and hurriedly crawled on the ground again.
Sikong Wang Yun hurriedly went out of class and said, "Your Majesty." Although the escort general is guilty, but now the Kwantung rebels are attacking the fortifications even. The imperial court is at the time of employing people, and the escort general has the courage to be unstoppable, so why not make the escort general guilty and make meritorious service? β
Dong Zhuo sighed, touched his beard and said, "I don't know what Aiqing thinks?" β
Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty, why don't you order General Hu to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to the Kanto region to retreat the Kwantung rebels." β
Dong Zhuo's eyes moved, and he looked at Li Ru, the head of the hundred officials.
Li Ru shook his head slightly, obviously disagreeing with this proposal.
Dong Zhuo was puzzled, he didn't know why Li Ru didn't agree to let Lu Bu go to the Kanto, seeing that Li Ru was silent, he knew that it was inconvenient to say it above the main hall, and immediately said: "This matter can be discussed later, retreat from the dynasty!" β
After saying that, he got up and turned into the apse, and the hundred officials looked at each other for a while, so they had to disperse.
Lu Bu also got up from the ground and followed the hundred officials out of the Deyang Palace.
Li Ru didn't leave, glanced at Lu Bu's back, shook his head and went to the side hall.
The Imperial Study.
Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru, "Why doesn't Aiqing approve of letting Lu Bu lead the army to conquer the Kwantung region?" β
Li Ru said: "Lu Bu, jackals too!" Kanto is not as good as Liangzhou, if His Majesty asks Lu Bu to lead the troops to the Kanto, he will inevitably be co-opted by the Kwantung princes, and it is very likely that he will turn against each other at that time, wouldn't it be to help the people abuse! β
Dong Zhuo was taken aback, and said in a deep voice: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, this matter is indeed inappropriate!" β
Li Ru said again: "The general of the Che Cavalry has three more days to go to Luoyang, and he can go to the eastern part of the country!" β
Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time before he said: "That's it, just according to Aiqing's opinion!" β
Tiger Prison Pass, late at night, Cao Cao's camp.
"Lord!"
Cheng Yu hurriedly rushed into the military tent and bowed to Cao Cao.
"Zhongde is exempt!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "What is the movement of the Xiliang Army?" β
Cheng Yu replied: "There is no movement in the Xiliang Army in the Tiger Prison Pass, but our army has sent back a few pieces of news from Luoyang. One of the most important pieces of news is that Lu Bu has returned to Luoyang. β
"Lu Bu?"
Cao Cao was puzzled: "Didn't that guy go to Liangzhou, why did he go back to Luoyang again?" β
Cheng Yu said: "The lord doesn't know, I heard that Luo Zheng has broken Ma Teng and Lu Bu's generation, and Duan Xuan's 30,000 troops out of Liangzhou were also broken by Luo Zheng in a battle, and he fled back to Guanzhong, and he was no longer able to send troops to Liangzhou." Lu Bu lost his stability and the two counties of the Northland, and there was nowhere to stay but to continue to rely on Dong Zhuo, who should have been recalled to Luoyang by Dong Zhuo. β
"Luo Zheng?"
Cao Cao's eyes froze, and a terrifying killing machine flashed by, and he said in a deep voice: "I waited for life and death in the Tiger Prison Pass, but I didn't want to be taken advantage of by Luo Zheng's gang, and took the opportunity to pacify Liangzhou, it's really hateful!" That slaughtering clan, this revenge will not be reconciled! β
Cheng Yu nodded, and said: "Our army also found out a piece of news, I heard that Luo Zheng moved to Longxian and mobilized tens of thousands of troops to camp in Longguan, wanting to leave Qinting and enter Kouguan. At present, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo is afraid that he will lose in the pass, so he has ordered Xu Rong to lead 10,000 troops and go to Chang'an to guard the pass for Duan Xuanzhen! β
"I see!"
Cao Cao suddenly said: "I still wonder why Xu Rong's 20,000 army only came 10,000, and the remaining 10,000 were taken to Guanzhong by Xu Rong." However, Luo Zheng had just driven away Ma Teng and Lu Bu, and the counties of Liangzhou were not stable, so how could they enter the pass, this guy was just a show. However, the gains and losses in the pass are very important, and the whole body is moved, once Luo Zheng sends troops to attack Chang'an, it is tantamount to stabbing Dong Zhuo in the back, Dong Zhuo really doesn't dare to take this risk! β
Cheng Yu nodded again and again, and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, Luo Zheng's entry into Kou Pass is false, and it is true to put pressure on Dong Zhuo, but in this way, it can reduce the pressure on us to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, I didn't expect this guy to do good deeds!" β
Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "This thief is scheming, how can he be so kind, but he is afraid that if the Qinwang coalition army will not be able to attack the tiger prison, if Dong Zhuo slows down, he will definitely punish the elite soldiers to leave Liangzhou." β
Cheng Yu said yes, and said: "Lord, our army has also found out a piece of news. β
Cao Cao let out an 'oh' sound and said, "What's the news?" β
Cheng Yu said: "According to the detailed report, there are cavalry mobilizing in Luoyang recently, I don't know what Dong Zhuo is going to do!" β
"Cavalry mobilizing?"
Cao Cao thought for a while, then said in a condensed voice: "It's not good, Dong Zhuo's old thief is going to repeat his old tricks!" (To be continued......)
