28 Lu Bu's decision

Until the Jade Rabbit slanted westward, Lu Bu still could not give Li Su's messenger a clear answer.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there were five people, Hao Meng, Xu Huang, Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng, Gao Shun and Cao Xing were stationed in Linfen and Jiangyi, and they didn't have time to rush over, and they didn't know what happened in Luoyang.

In the letter, Li Su looked very honest and told him everything he knew.

However, he was also vague about the death of the Taiwei Dong Zhuo, so he simply told Lu Bu all the rumors he had heard and let him judge for himself.

The most important statement, of course, is the official version of the theory of dying of violent illness, as a traversal from the later generations, he naturally scoffs at this, because he has seen many more unbelievable ways of death than this in the later life.

Other circulating theories smack of conspiracy without exception.

Some say that he was assassinated to death, some say that he never woke up after sleeping, and the most glamorous saying is that he loves the beauties in the palace, can't help it, and has many women at night, but one accidentally got a stroke and died.

There are many different theories, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

But Lu Bu firmly believed that Dong Zhuo was assassinated and died, and combined with the promotion mentioned in Li Suxin's position, he also locked the assassin on Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde with great certainty, and behind him was the new Situ Wang Yun.

Because of this point in time, which coincided with the [Cao Cao's Offering of the Knife] in his memory, he originally thought that [Cao Cao's Offering of the Knife] was just a plot made up by the novelist, because it was not recorded in the annals of history, but from now on, it seems that this thing has come true.

Otherwise, how can it be explained that Cao Cao's official worship Tingwei, and He Yanguan's worship of Lang's lieutenant order.

Exploring the truth behind Dong Zhuo's death is not what Lu Bu cares about, what he cares about most is what he and his subordinates and state soldiers should do.

Before convening everyone to discuss, he sat alone and pondered for a long time, this incident in Luoyang City, all of a sudden his original plan was completely disrupted, and his greatest prophetic advantage was deprived, when he suddenly heard about this, he felt that he was originally driving on the stormy river, looking around, where the river flowed, it was vaguely recognizable, but now it is good, after a sharp bend, he was suddenly brought into a completely unfamiliar river by the Taotao River, where it will flow, he is at a loss.

This feeling made him very flustered and overwhelmed for the first time.

However, after calming down, he still sorted out his current thinking and summed up three ways out.

The first is to lead the army back to Luoyang, taking this opportunity to control the court; the second is to entrench in Hedong and watch Guanzhong and merge with the state; The third is to retreat to the second, go north and merge the state, and after the operation is stable, then try to the east of the river.

He summoned Hao Meng and Xu Huang to identify the belief of "three stinkers on the top of Zhuge Liang", broaden their thinking, and listen to their thoughts.

In the middle of the night, the discussion still failed to jump out of these three ways out, but what should be done for each way out was discussed more clearly.

It was late at night, and everyone was a little sleepy, and Lu Bu suddenly asked, "Is there a reward for the scouts who went to Anyi?" ”

Hao Meng shook his head and replied quickly: "It's still the return of the hour, Guo Yan led the army back to Anyi, and Li Dao did not move." ”

At this time, Lu Bu was eager to establish his own spy system, and he didn't think much about it before, but now that a big incident happens, don't say that the situation in Luoyang is the situation in Hedong County, he is almost blinded, and he completely relies on temporarily scattering the scouts, and the information he can hear is still limited.

Yulin Zhonglang will Niu Fu, now he must have also gotten the news, there is no movement in Wenxi City, the most strange is the White Wave Thief Camp, Lu Bu is sure that Guo Tai was almost at the same time as him learned about the great changes in Luoyang, but for a whole day, the White Wave Thief Camp did not move, but Guo Tai and others, who were originally going to enter the city, were all nested in the camp today and did not come out.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu saw that everyone's eyes were all focused on him, knowing that everyone was waiting for his decision, and immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to wait for the soldiers, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Niu Fu, whether they lead the army back to Luoyang to avenge Dong Zhuo, or flee back to Xiliang, they will not stay in Hedong for long. ”

The generals left as promised, and Lu Bu sat alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, pondered for a moment, spread out the silk silk, and began to reply to Li Su.

In Li Su's letter, in addition to detailing the incident in Luoyang City, the meaning of the words was to work with Lu Bu for the imperial court, and as for the family members who stayed in Luoyang, there was no need to worry, with him, no one could move.

Therefore, Lu Bu's reply is only a general talk, writing down the current situation in Hedong, then thanking him, and then looking forward to the future in general.

This is also for Lu Bu's cautious sake, the current situation is confusing, he doesn't know where to go, let alone an alliance with Li Su in the court.

In the next few days, the situation in Hedong was so deadlocked, and the armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Guo Tai, and Lu Bu were lined up from south to north, guarding each other, and constantly sending messengers to test them, and it was rare to be very calm. There was only one news that surprised Lu Bu, that is, Niu Fu poured his sorrows with wine all day long, and after getting drunk, he often whipped the foot soldiers to vent the depression in his heart.

It's no wonder that Dong Zhuo died, and the most affected were Niu Fu and Li Ru, and now Niu Fu's Yulin Zhonglang General has clearly been seized by the imperial court and awarded to Xu Rong who is stationed in Xin'an, and what's even worse is that Xu Rong actually accepted it calmly, if this was in the past, although Xu Rong was brave, how could Niu Fu put him in his eyes.

"Idiot!"

This was the highest evaluation that Lu Bu gave him after hearing about Niu Fu's various perverse actions, but when he then heard about the actions of the generals of Liangzhou, he suddenly extended this evaluation to Li Dao and others.

Li Wei, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Fan Chou, heard that Hua Xiong had accepted the appointment of the imperial court, and worshiped him as the general of the five officials, that is, under the leadership of Zhang Ji, they jointly wrote to the imperial court, asking for pardon.

Such a move, in Lu Bu's opinion, very openly exposed to the imperial court the weakness of the leaders of the Xiliang generals without a leader, as well as the panic in their hearts, and at this time, the best strategy is to even temporarily nominate Niu Fu, and ask the court in stern terms to announce the cause of death of the imperial lieutenant Dong Zhuo, otherwise it is far better than asking for pardon as softly as now.

At that moment, Lu Bu even thought about whether to point out Li Dao and Guo Yan, but after thinking about it, whether Li Dao, Guo Bi, or Zhang Ji, he only had one fate, and his kindness might be regarded by them as a plate of donkey liver and lungs.

After thinking about it a little more, Lu Bu was relieved, he was a traverser from later generations, with more than 2,000 years of experience, and he had no reverence for the court and imperial power, but this did not mean that the generals of Xiliang could have this kind of understanding of him. Although their commander Dong Zhuo dared to lead his troops into Luoyang and trample on the imperial power under his feet, it was because Dong Zhuo was a hero, not to mention his talents, but he must be said to be courageous, but the generals under his command were obviously far behind.

Worrying about the generals of Xiliang is just a matter for Lu Bufu, and what he is looking forward to the most is actually Jia Xu's news.

Jia Xu's messenger didn't wait, but he unexpectedly ushered in Mrs. Guo's lobbyist - Yang Feng.

Before this, it was not that he had not received Mrs. Guo's messengers, but they were all pawns, and what he said was all vain things, of course, the purpose was just to probe the movement, but this time, judging from Yang Feng's personal appearance, it can be seen that Mrs. Guo really wanted to discuss something with him.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights and candles were bright, and Lu Bu and Yang Feng were seated as guests of honor, and they exchanged a little greeting, that is, they went straight to the point.

Yang Feng was much more straightforward than Mrs. Guo, and he directly explained his intentions, but Lu Bu was taken aback.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu frowned slightly and replied: "In this way, Guo Shuai has been summoned by Situ and is ready to lead the army into Luoyang?" ”

Yang Feng smiled a little bitterly, and stroked his forehead and explained: "Yes yes or no, Guo Shuai is a former official of Situ, and this recruitment is to stabilize the court situation." Du Wei was ordered to go on the expedition, coinciding with the change of the imperial court, is Du Wei ready to lead the army back to the division? ”

Lu Bu snorted, spread his hands, and replied: "Bu Ben is an official of the imperial court, and he must follow the military orders of the imperial court whether he returns to Luoyang or is stationed in Hedong." ”

The disappointment on Yang Feng's face, Lu Bu could see it clearly, and after talking for a while, Yang Feng said goodbye and left, and Lu Bu's mind had already been activated, for no other reason, it was only from the Q&A of the guards outside the tent that the people from the Jia Xu faction had arrived.
