Chapter 160: Burning Hanya
"Father-in-law, look at our army, all of us have been tired from the rapid march these days, and their morale is constantly decreasing. If we march like this, if we don't have a good rest, I'm afraid that before the princes can chase after us, our army itself will already be tired. Li Ru looked at the army behind him, his face was full of exhaustion, and there were still many people who could doze off during the march, which showed how tired the army was.
Dong Zhuo glanced back at the army, only to find that the army was indeed tired enough, so he said, "Okay, today is a good day of rest in this Hangu Pass, and tomorrow will be on the road." ”
"Father-in-law is wise." Li Ru praised. Since Dong Zhuo became Xiangguo, he likes to listen to this kind of flattery the most. Otherwise, with Li Meng's martial arts and skills, I am afraid that he really can't sit in the position of the guard general of Hangu Pass.
Sure enough, as soon as Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's praise, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, and even the previous tiredness was eliminated a lot.
In Hangu Pass, Tai Shici and Li Meng had already received the news and immediately rushed towards the city wall.
"Li Meng, do you know what to do next?" Tai Shi Ci said with a serious face.
"Humble duty understands." Li Meng nodded in response. Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci also nodded, and continued to rush towards the city wall.
On the wall of Hangu Pass, Tai Shi Ci slowly stood behind Li Meng like a personal guard.
"Li Meng, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let Xiangguo enter the customs, if you delay Xiangguo's time. Can you afford it? As soon as Li Dao saw Li Meng appear on the city wall, he hurriedly shouted, looking like he was on top.
Li Meng heard Li Dao's words. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart. I felt in my heart that it was really wise to leave Dong Zhuojun and join Youzhou. But soon, as a shrewd man, he quickly suppressed this anger. Sticking out his head and looking at the bottom, he saw Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, as well as the three Li Dao in the front, and immediately said with a happy face, "Xiangguo, please wait a moment, the villain will go to open the city gate." ”
It didn't take long. The gate of Hangu Pass slowly opened. The two of them, Li Meng and Tai Shici, hurriedly greeted Dong Zhuo.
"Li Meng saw Xiangguo. May the prime minister be blessed and healthy. Li Meng hurriedly gave Dong Zhuo a big gift, patted his ass and said.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but nod with satisfaction after listening to Li Meng's sycophants, and said with a smile, "Li Meng." Hurry up and make arrangements, this Xiangguo will rest in Hangu Pass for a night today. ”
"No, the villain will arrange it." Li Meng said. As he spoke, he wanted to walk directly towards Hangu Pass.
"Wait a minute, General Lee." At this time, Li Ru suddenly stopped Li Meng. And Li Meng was suddenly stopped by example. He already had a ghost in his heart, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Tai Shici on the side saw Li Meng's appearance. Suddenly glared at him fiercely in concealment. The latter reflected this and immediately adjusted his mentality. Immediately turned around and said flatteringly to Li Ru, "Lord Li Ru, I don't know what the villain has to say."
"I don't know who this person is next to General Li?" Li Ru asked. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Li Ru looked at Tai Shici and felt that this person was not a simple person. This may be a feeling that he Li Ru has been exercising for a long time.
"Oh, you said it's Liu Ci, this is a small soldier I recently discovered. I saw that his martial arts skills were not bad, so I promoted him to be my personal soldier. Liu Ci, don't cross the point to meet Lord Xiangguo and Lord Li. Li Meng said solemnly, but this was naturally discussed beforehand.
"Liu Ci greets Lord Xiangguo, Lord Li." Tai Shi Ci pretended to be wooden and saluted the two.
Dong Zhuo didn't even look at Tai Shici, after all, for Dong Zhuo, how could he pay attention to the personal guard of a general under him. And Li Ru nodded casually at Tai Shici.
"Lord Li, if there is nothing to do, the villain will go and prepare beforehand." Li Meng said with a smile. Stay here for a minute longer, and the faster his Li Meng's heart beats.
"Let's go." Dong Zhuo said impatiently.
"No." Li Meng said, and then turned around and walked towards Hangu Guannei. As for Tai Shici, he followed silently.
Li Ru looked at Tai Shi Ci's departing figure, and still had some doubts, because he always felt that this person seemed to be a little unsimple, but he couldn't tell what the place was. After the last moment, Li Ru still shook his head helplessly, attributing all this to the fact that he was too tired in the past few days.
"Li Dao, Guo Yan, you two go and settle the army." Dong Zhuo said.
"The last general commands." Li Dao and Guo Yan said.
"Zhang Ji, you take the 20,000 horses under your command to show me these thousands of carts, if there is any mistake, I will not spare you." Dong Zhuo said viciously. These thousands of carts of property can be said to be the lifeblood of his Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo will never allow these belongings to be lost.
"The last general commands." Zhang Ji clenched his fists and said. Immediately, he took his men and horses to transport all these carriages to Hangu Pass. And behind that Zhang Ji was followed by a young general, dressed in dark brown armor, holding a tiger-headed golden gun, although the appearance was different, but this temperament was carved out of the same mold as Zhao Yun. If Liu Yao saw it, he would definitely call out his name, Zhang Ji's nephew, the eldest disciple of the spear prodigy Yuan, the senior brother of Zhao Yun, and Zhang Xiu, the king of guns in the north.
"The army enters the city." With Dong Zhuo's shout, the army of 300,000 marched towards Hangu Pass, how spectacular.
When Dong Zhuo arrived, he naturally inevitably put on a banquet and ate and drank for a while. This Li Meng served by Dong Zhuo's side all night, and Dong Zhuo was also so happy by Li Meng's flattery that he couldn't help but drink more. If it weren't for Li Ru constantly telling Dong Zhuo on the side, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo would have been drunk and unconscious early.
After the dinner, Dong Zhuo went down to rest, although this Dong Zhuo was originally battle-hardened, such a march should not be able to help him. But since he became Xiangguo, Dong Zhuo has been drinking all day long, and he has long forgotten where he has forgotten about his kung fu on horseback.
It's the third watch of the night. Dong Zhuo's army of 300,000 was already tired because of the rapid march these days, coupled with the defeat and retreat along the way, which made the morale even more memorable. It also caused them to go to rest early like Dong Zhuo, sleeping very sweetly, and not paying the slightest attention to everything in the outside world.
As for the safety issue, they never had to worry about it. This Li Meng is Dong Zhuo's person, with his 20,000 soldiers and horses, he still needs to worry about it. All they need to do now is get a good rest. In order to cope with the rush that will continue tomorrow.
However, at this time, more than ten people came out from the four corners of Hangu Pass, and these people were all wearing the clothes of Li Meng's army, so naturally no one would care. Each of them carried several large clay pots in their hands. I saw these people sneakily walking through the various small roads of Hangu Pass. Along the way, he poured the liquid from the crockpot in his hand on the ground, and suddenly a strong smell of fire oil came out. And on the ground where they poured the oil was filled with hay and other things that ignited fires.
After a stick of incense, the group almost traveled through half of Hangu Pass, except for Dong Zhuo and the civil and military officials, as well as the place where the thousands of carriages were located, none of these people had not visited, and all the other places had been poured with fire oil. Especially near the camp where Dong Zhuo's 300,000 troops were stationed, these people took care of the most.
The last four of the four people met in one place, and one thing was taken out from the arms of the four leading people, the fire fold. The next moment, the four of them did not hesitate to light a fire and throw it on the dry grass that had been cleared by the fire oil, and the flames slowly spread to the entire Hangu Pass.
These people are naturally the secret group under Liu Yao's command, long before Dong Zhuo came to this Hangu Pass, Liu Yao had already arranged everything, and filled the entire Hangu Pass with things that ignited fire, in order to send Dong Zhuo a barbecue banquet. And Dong Zhuo's army was already exhausted, so naturally he didn't have much time to check. In addition, this Hangu Pass is also Dong Zhuo's territory, so Dong Zhuojun will not go back to pay attention to it. (To be continued......)
