It was just dawn, and in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning. The sound of horses' hooves like thunder indicates that a large cavalry force is coming.

Although he had not closed his eyes for even a moment during the night's march, there was no trace of fatigue on Ao Lie's face, only deep worry and concern. Ao Lie was worried about Lu Bu's safety, he didn't know how Lu Dao Lu Bu would face Dong Zhuo, but one thing, Ao Lie was sure that for so many years, with his understanding of Lu Bu, he knew that Lu Bu would never face Dong Zhuo. It is precisely because of this that Ao Lie will be anxious, the closer he gets to Luoyang, the more impatient Ao Lie's heart becomes, and he can't wait to fly into Luoyang City immediately.

Jia Xu with endless exhaustion, lying on the back of the horse, for Jia Xu, one Jia Xu is not young, the other Jia Xu is a scribe, and his physical fitness is far less than that of a general, so he rushed all the way, Jia Xu was already tired and out of breath. But Jia Xu still struggled to follow Ao Lie's side, and said breathlessly: "Lord...... Lord, the promise has been ...... It has been sent to Wu Qiong...... The news was sent, Wu Qiong was willing to do the internal response, Luoyang ...... Erect a green tooth banner on the city to attack the city...... Wu Qiong will ...... then Will open the city gate to receive the lord's ......"

Seeing that Jia Xu was already tired and panting, but still insisted on making suggestions, Ao Lie was deeply moved in his heart, and said in an apologetic tone: "There is Mr. Lao Wenhe, after this time, I must find a few more people to help Mr. share more." "Jia Xu has a very special status in the Ao Lie Army, he is neither in charge of internal affairs like Xun Yu and Lu Su, nor is he like Cui Yan, Deng Zhi and others who are in charge of one side. is even more different from Zhao Yun and other generals who gallop on the battlefield, Ao Lie has always used Jia Xu as an all-round panacea. Where something went wrong, or where there was no one in charge for the time being. Ao Lie will send Jia Xu to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, and Jia Xu has never disappointed Ao Lie, although he wears many hats, Jia Xu has completed every job in his hands very well. As a result, Jia Xu has never had a day off in the past two years, and has been working twelve hours a day.

Ao Lie also saw this, but there was no proper solution, and Ao Lie had a lot of fierce generals. But there are too few talents in politics, and the polarization is extremely serious, either big names like Xun Yu, Lu Su and Gu Yong; Either it is a little-known humble scholar, and his talent is very limited. What Ao Lie lacks is those middle-level cadres, and Ao Lie is not ignorant of this problem, but he has never found a suitable way to solve it. The edict has been promulgated twice in Youzhou, but it has had little effect. It seems that after returning to Youzhou after this battle, it is necessary to change the system of recruiting talents.

Jia Xu, who was lying on horseback, suddenly said, "Li ...... Confucian, Li Wenwei. It's ...... Not bad. Ao Lie was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted, Jia Xu is recommending Li Ru to himself again. Historically. Chen Shou, who compiled the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, once commented on Li Ru and said that Li Ru "has no last resort." If you meet the Lord, the great cause will be accomplished." It can be seen that Li Ru is really talented. It's just that under Dong Zhuo's hands, he failed to exert his due wisdom.

Ao Lie, who is familiar with history, knows that there are really too many buried talents under Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru is just the most famous one among them. In addition to Li Ru, Xu Rong, who is now leading the Flying Bear Army in battle with Yuan Shao and others, is also a rare handsome talent, as well as Zhang Xiu's uncle, Zhang Ji, the Taishou of the Northland, is also among them. The people under his command could not make the best use of their talents, but violently destroyed the heavens, and it is not surprising that Dong Zhuo was defeated.

Looking in the direction of Luoyang City again, Ao Lie prayed silently in his heart: "Big brother, hold on, brother is here to save you!" ”

Lu Bu, who seemed to feel Ao Lie's concern, was tied to the gallows by Wuhuada, suddenly raised his head and looked at the rising sky, with a satisfied smile on his face, and whispered: "Second brother, eldest brother is waiting for you." ”

Diao Chan, who had stayed awake all night and had been guarding Lu Bu's side, asked softly, "Who is the general's second brother?" Lu Bu turned his head, looked at the picturesque Diao Chan, sighed deeply, and said slowly: "Diao Chan, from today onwards, you will forget Lu Bu and treat it as ...... You've never met Lu Bu like this person. After a night of calm thinking, Lu Bu knew that he was really in love with Diao Chan, but Diao Chan was Ao Lie's sweetheart, Lu Bu forced himself to put away his attachment to Diao Chan, and deliberately pretended to be cold and said this to Diao Chan.

Diao Chan stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Lu Bu's waist, leaned his head on Lu Bu's broad chest, and said softly: "In the future? Do we have a future? The general took pity on Diao Chan, and Diao Chan understood in his heart. The general was beheaded later, and Diao Chan would follow the general. Diao Chan has never been loved by the general in this life, so let Diao Chan accompany the general on the Huangquan Road and continue the frontier. ”

"Diao Chan, you ......" Lu Bu's words were not finished, Diao Chan gently stretched out his jade hand, covered Lu Bu's mouth, and said to Lu Bu with anticipation in his eyes: "General, don't say anything again, okay?" Just let Diao Chan accompany the general quietly and spend the last little time with the general, okay? Lu Bu felt his vision blur, as if a layer of mist was blocking his eyes. Slowly closing his eyes, Lu Bu did not speak again, but nodded slightly.

At the same time, on the city wall of the north gate of Luoyang, Wu Qiong was slightly nervous and looked at the main road outside the city from time to time. Last night, Wu Qiong received a message from Jia Xu, and agreed to erect the Qingya banner on the city wall at ten o'clock this morning, and Wu Qiong was responsible for opening the north gate of Luoyang to welcome Ao Lie's army into the city.

Last night, Wu Qiong told the news to several veteran ministers loyal to Liu Xie overnight, and everyone unanimously felt that this plan was feasible, and hurriedly formulated a more detailed plan. Before dawn, Wang Yun, Zhong Xuan and other old ministers went to the court early, pretending to persuade Dong Zhuo to ascend the throne and become emperor, so as to divert Dong Zhuo's attention and drag Dong Zhuo; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and other generals disguised themselves as Wu Qiong's personal soldiers, and came to the city wall of the north gate of Luoyang together, waiting for Ao Lie's arrival; Cai Yong, Du Yi and other celebrities and Hongru quietly rushed to Dongguan to protect the precious books that have been handed down from generation to generation, in short, more than a dozen important ministers of the court who were loyal to Liu Xie, except for Liu Yu, Liu and his father and son, who were inconvenient to show up, the rest of them acted separately, and everything was in full swing at the same time.

Feeling Wu Qiong's nervousness at this time, Huangfu Song quietly came behind Wu Qiong and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous?" Wu Qiong turned around, saw that it was Huangfu Song, slowly exhaled a breath, and asked in a low voice: "Dong Thief has been in trouble for so long, and the moment of ambush is finally coming, aren't you nervous, my lord?" Although Huangfu Song has now resigned from the position of general of the chariot cavalry, his prestige is still loud, so Wu Qiong still calls him an adult in order to show respect for Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth turned in the other direction, and at the same time said: "Why aren't you nervous, your palms are sweaty." You see, Gongwei is over there, isn't he secretly clenching his fists? Everyone's heart is nervous, but don't show it on the surface, so as not to be seen by others. "Because at this time, in addition to the garrison soldiers under Wu Qiong's department, there is also a part of the Xiliang army on the city wall, so Huangfu Song specially came over to tell Wu Qiong to let him relax as much as possible.

Wu Qiong pretended to look inadvertently in the direction of Huangfu Song's guidance, and saw that Zhu Jun was leaning on the city wall at the moment, pretending to play with his clothes and armor at random, but his free other hand was already tightly clenched into a fist. Suddenly, Zhu Jun stopped playing with his big hand in his clothes and armor, put his ear against the city wall, and gradually showed a hint of joy on his face.

Huangfu Song, who had been with Zhu Jun for a long time, immediately noticed the change in Zhu Jun's face, and quietly handed Zhu Jun an inquiring look. Zhu Jun listened intently for a while, and then nodded in confirmation. Huangfu Song walked towards the city gate tower casually, and when he passed by Wu Qiong's side, he whispered: "Ao Junhou is here." ”

Wu Qiong was shocked, and then pretended to be casual, approached the officer of the Xiliang Army, and said with a fake smile: "Brother, when you take a turn to rest for a while, how about inviting you to have a drink?" The Xiliang officer laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's invite you, our Xiliang Army's salary is three times that of yours." ”

On the horizon, the figure of Ao Lie's white horse and golden armor stood out, and the heavy overlord gun in his hand pointed at the city gate of Luoyang, shouting: "Target Luoyang city gate, the whole army charges!" Behind Ao Lie, teams of cavalry appeared one after another, and in the direction pointed by Ao Lie's spear, they rode their horses and launched the most violent assault.

The horse's hooves beat the ground violently, and the Xiliang army in Luoyang City finally noticed that something was wrong, and the officer who was talking to Wu Qiong frowned and said: "How can there be thunder early in the morning, no, this is not thunder, this, oh my God, this is the sound of horses' hooves!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look out of the city, and when he saw it, he was so frightened that he almost didn't fall from the top of the city, because he saw the endless cavalry!

"That's right, it's the sound of horses' hooves, and I also know that those cavalry are the subordinates of the champion Hou Ao Junhou!" Wu Qiong attached himself to the Xiliang officer's ear and whispered, and at the same time, Wu Qiong's right hand shook, and a sharp dagger slipped from his sleeve, shining on the back of the Xiliang officer's heart, and stabbed it fiercely!

"Uh...... Enemy...... Attack ......" The Xiliang officer spit out three words weakly, and then cut off his breath.

Zhu Jun, who was leaning on the city wall, took off the helmet that covered his face, pulled out his war knife and shouted vigorously: "Kill Dong Thief today!" Loyal and righteous people come with a certain one! As he spoke, he slashed over a Xiliang sergeant who passed by.

In the city gate tower, Huangfu Song held a sharp sword in his hand and shouted to the Han soldiers in the city gate tower: "Open the city gate and welcome the champion Hou into the city!" (To be continued......)
