Chapter 157: Three Birds with One Stone

Outside Luoyang City, in the other direction of the battle between the Xiliang Army and the Princes' Alliance, Ao Lie sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, knocked lightly on the table, and asked Cao Cao next to him in an inquiring tone: "Brother Meng De, the Xiliang Army and Yuan Shao have begun to fight, and the horses are returned, and during the day, Yuan Shao personally went out into battle, and was defeated and lost by a person named Xu Rong of the Xiliang Army." Now, shouldn't Yuan Shao and others be cut off from food and grass? ”

Cao Cao smiled and stretched out his finger to point at Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "The prince let Mr. Wenhe don't ask, but he wants to ask Cao Cao." ”

Ao Lie also laughed, and asked Xiang Jia Xu instead: "Wenhe, what do you think?" Jia Xu twisted his beard and smiled: "Since the lord has made a decision, why should he ask Yu Xu? ”

Cao Cao laughed, and said while laughing: "Mr. Junhou Dewenhe is like a tiger with wings; Mr. Wenhe has to meet the prince, but it is a phoenix perched on the sycamore! ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and others on the side also loudly agreed, saying that Cao Cao's description was very appropriate.

After everyone laughed, Ao Lie's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "I have made up my mind, inform Wen Ruo and Zijing to stop transporting military food from Youzhou, and cut off the grain and grass of Yuan Shao and others!" ”

For Ao Lie's quick decision, Jia Xu was very appreciative in his heart, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile on his face. Jia Xu is over fifty years old, and Ao Lie is nineteen years old, with Jia Xu's age, it is okay to be Ao Lie's grandfather, whenever Jia Xu sees Ao Lie's growth bit by bit, Jia Xu will feel very happy, as if he is paying attention to his children and grandchildren. Unconsciously, Jia Xu has been following Ao Lie for almost two years, in the past two years, Ao Lie's growth speed has far exceeded Jia Xu's expectations, it can be said that in the past two years, Ao Lie's slightest change can not escape Jia Xu's eyes, which makes Jia Xu more aware that Ao Lie will become a generation of heroes in the future. Take this grain cut off as an example, it takes time to transport grain and grass from Youzhou to the front line, and now Ao Lie has sent the order to cut off grain back to Youzhou, Xun Yu and Lu Su They received the order, and they will have to wait until more than ten days later, after ten days, after Yuan Shao and they used up the grain and grass sent from Youzhou last time, they will suddenly find that the grain and grass are unsustainable, which is equivalent to boiling frogs in warm water, and until the last moment, Yuan Shao and others will definitely not find that Youzhou has stopped supplying grain and grass. At the same time, within these ten days, Yuan Shao and others will also have a big confrontation with the Xiliang army, so that Ao Lie and others will have a chance. Of course, this food shortage is just a trivial matter, and there are many places for Ao Lie's amazing growth.

At the same time, in Lu Bu's military camp, all the Bingzhou troops scolded the sky, and almost had to fight with Xu Rong's Xiliang army. There is no other reason, just now, the sergeant who was arranged by Gao Shun to go outside the Wenhou Mansion and observed the movement came to the camp and informed Lu Bu that Dong Zhuo actually took advantage of the time when Lu Bu led the troops to lead the Xiliang army to the Wenhou Mansion to rob Diao Chan.

The sergeant who came to deliver the letter, after seeing the trapped camp and the Xiliang army fighting, immediately ran to report to Lu Bu, and he didn't know what happened next. Although Lu Bu didn't know that Diao Chan had been taken away by Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu's heart was as heavy as pressing a boulder. For Dong Zhuo's **, Lu Bu is very clear, Diao Chan looks like a fairy, once it falls into Dong Zhuo's hands, the end is self-evident. But now that the two armies are clashing, if he leaves, it will inevitably affect the results of the battle.

After weighing it, Lu Bu called Xu Rong to inform him of what happened in the evening, and declared that he was going back to Luoyang to save Diao Chan, and let Xu Rong stay to resist the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and others. Although Xu Rong was Dong Zhuo's subordinate and was sent by Dong Zhuo to spy on Lu Bu, when Xu Rong heard that Dong Zhuo had done such a shameless act, he immediately expressed his willingness to support Lu Bu and volunteered to stay and continue to fight against Yuan Shao. After Lu Bu thanked Xu Rong, he asked Hou Cheng and Cao Xing to lead the Bingzhou army to stay, and cooperated with Xu Rong to continue the battle, and he only led fifty cavalry and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, and rushed back to Luoyang overnight. Before leaving, Lu Bu called a personal guard and quietly told him to let him gallop to Ao Lie's army and inform Ao Lie of the incident. In Lu Bu's heart, he always thought that Diao Chan was Ao Lie's sweetheart, but now that things have become so complicated, Lu Bu must inform Ao Lie.

The distance of ten miles, under the speed of Chitu's galloping speed, was quickly completed. When Lu Bu returned to his Wenhou Mansion, what he saw was full of messes. The corpses of the Xiliang army were piled up into a hill in front of the mansion. Because Dong Zhuo was overjoyed after getting Diao Chan, he didn't even have time to take care of the corpses of his subordinate sergeants, and at this time, Gao Shun was directing the sergeants to clean up the battlefield.

Turning over and jumping off the back of Chitu's horse, Lu Bu walked quickly in front of Gao Shun, and before he could speak, Gao Shun suddenly knelt in front of Lu Bu, and said ashamedly: "Yu Wenhou, Gao Shun is incompetent, Dong Zhuo led troops to rob Miss Diao Chan, and Miss Diao Chan has followed Dong Zhuo back to the palace in order to save our lives." ”

Gao Shun's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Lu Bu's mind was blank. Gao Shun lowered his head and continued: "Miss Diao Chan said when she was leaving, this is the only thing she can do for Wen Hou, I hope Wen Hou takes care of herself, don't think of Miss Diao Chan." ”

Lu Bu was silent, two heroic tears fell, and he thought silently in his heart: "Diao Chan, Diao Chan, you have a deep affection for someone, and you will never let you be tarnished by Dong Zhuo!" As soon as he thought of this, Lu Bu reached out and grabbed Gao Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "Diao Chan, how long have you been gone?" Gao Shun replied, "It's not half an hour." ”

Less than half an hour? That's not too bad, Dong Zhuo's car is driving very slowly, if you rush now, maybe you can save Diao Chan. Lu Bu turned around and ran to the red rabbit horse, and when he was still three steps away from the red rabbit, his legs kicked the ground suddenly, jumped on the horse's back, and whipped him the red rabbit's horse stock.

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then picked up the sword that he had thrown to the ground earlier, and roared angrily: "Brothers, swear to follow Wen Hou to the death!" The elite of the eight hundred trapping camp and the fifty cavalry and the wolf cavalry of the state responded loudly: "Swear to follow Wen Hou to the death!" Then, Gao Shun led a horse, and the horse followed Lu Bu first.

"What? When did this happen? Ao Lie looked at the sergeant who came to report the news in front of him with a shocked face.

"Yu Junhou, just now, Wen Hou has rushed back to Luoyang after receiving the news." The personal guard sent by Lu Bu replied.

Ao Lietie's face was blue, and he scolded angrily: "Dong thief is shameless! Employing people to resist the enemy but taking the opportunity to ** relatives in the house is simply crazy! Stab in the back! Zhao Yun! Immediately order troops and attack Luoyang overnight! Ao Lie was so angry that he actually called Zhao Yun's name for the first time, which shows that Ao Lie was already angry in his heart at the moment.

Cao Cao saw that Ao Lie was furious, and hurriedly comforted: "The prince, the prince and the anger." Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are infighting, and we just sit back and enjoy it, isn't it a beautiful thing? ”

Ao Lie's face was shrouded in frost, and he said word by word: "Lu Bu, it is the righteous brother of Benhou. As soon as Ao Lie's words came out, everyone in the tent was shocked. Cao Cao knew that he had lost his words just now, and he was speechless. Gongsun Zhan slapped his thigh and suddenly said, "No wonder when he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu, uh, it was Lu Wenhou, who would use the trick of Mo Han's virtuous brother to block!" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly walked into the big tent, omitting even the etiquette greetings, and asked directly: "The lord is going to attack Luoyang overnight?" ”

Ao Lie looked at Jia Xu firmly and said, "If Mr. Wenhe is here to persuade him, there is no need to say any more. Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The lord attaches great importance to brotherhood, and this section naturally knows the truth. Therefore, Xu did not intend to persuade the lord to quit the army, but came to offer advice. At that moment, Jia Xu sent a private letter to Wu Qiong, and asked the ministers of the DPRK and China to provoke the contradiction between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and said it as it was.

Ao Lie frowned, thought for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What is the connection between this matter and the matter in front of you?" Jia Xu said with a smile: "The lord is really concerned about it. I can't even see through such a superficial plan of discord. Right now, Yuan Shao and the others are fighting against Xu Rong, and they can just cover for our army's actions. Our army let out the wind overnight, threatening to unite with Yuan Shao and others, and attack Xu Rong's department, what will Dong Zhuo think? ”

Ao Lie was originally a talented and intelligent person, but he was disturbed by Diao Chan's matter, and now when he heard Jia Xu's analysis, he deduced a little in his heart, and immediately understood: "When Dong Zhuo hears the news, he will inevitably pour all the people in Luoyang City to support Xu Rong with all his might, and at that time, when our army returns to Xu Rong, Luoyang City will be at your fingertips." ”

Sun Jian listened to the conversation between Ao Lie and Jia Xu, and was a little dizzy at first, feeling that the conversation between the two and the things in front of him were incompatible, but when the conversation was nearing the end, Sun Jian praised loudly with a look of sudden realization on his face: "This is a big second!" ”

Gongsun Zhan and Wang Kuang also kept nodding their heads, agreeing with Jia Xu's strategy. Even Cao Cao, who has always been resourceful, had a fine light in his eyes, and said with sincere admiration: "Mr. Wenhe was really a genius at that time, the discord plan with the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is perfect!" ”

Under Jia Xu's strategy, Ao Lie, who had regained his calm, said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Brother Meng De seems to have undercalculated and cut off the grain and grass of Yuan Shao and others, but it was also Mr. Wenhe's idea, so I have to add a desperate plan, Mr. Wenhe is killing three birds with one stone." ”

At that moment, under Jia Xu's planning, Ao Lie began to arrange manpower, led by Gongsun Zhan and Wang Kuang, and went to pretend to support Yuan Shao. At the same time, Ao Lie, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian led all the cavalry, including the bloody killing battalion, plus 10,000 elite soldiers of the Tiger Camp, a total of 35,000 elite soldiers, and made a detour back behind Xu Rong overnight, and it was expected that by dawn tomorrow, they would reach the north gate of Luoyang and attack Luoyang.
