Chapter 982: The fate that a military general should have

"Alert!" At the head of the west gate of Luoyang City, a captain in charge of the garrison at the head of the city saw a group of cavalry coming from a distance, and his face was extremely unkind. If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry was approaching slowly, without looking hostile, he would have ordered the gates to be closed and the soldiers at the head of the city to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Despite this, he was still extremely careful, after all, if there was a mistake in this joint, who knew if any of those people above would suddenly have any disgust with him? Therefore, he felt that no one would be stupid enough to make a disturbance during this time period, and he was also extremely careful, so that the soldiers could be vigilant and could deal with sudden situations at any time. Including the city gates, he would also order his soldiers to close them directly when necessary, so that even the largest number of troops could not enter the city casually.

"Here we are." Li Ru, who was on the back of the war horse, looked up at the soldiers at the head of the city, and the weapons in their hands, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He swept to the left and right at random, and saw the ordinary civilians who were hiding on both sides of the road because of the arrival of the army, but were still curiously looking at the bustle, and a trace of pity in his eyes flashed.

Luoyang City has been peaceful for a long time, not to mention ordinary people, even the defenders do not have a trace of vigilance. You see, when an army appears, it is not easy to choose to close the city gates immediately, and then to distinguish whether the comer is friend or foe.

Fortunately, he didn't want to enter Luoyang City with a tough attitude, which was too stupid and too high-profile. He had a better way to get into Luoyang without attracting the attention of the defenders, and to reach the vicinity of the palace.

All thanks to the Empress Dowager Dong... A woman will always lose sight of the overall situation most of the time, or even if she does, she will subconsciously ignore it and focus more on things that are more beneficial to her.

Next to Li Ru was Xu Rong, and when Li Ru saw the soldiers at the head of the city, he also saw it, and his body tensed up unconsciously, which was a natural reaction, and it could also be said to be nervous.

Because in their current state, it can be said that they are directly exposed to the range of the bows and arrows of the soldiers at the head of the city, in this range, the bows and arrows are not only guaranteed to be able to hit the enemy, but also bring the greatest damage, how can this not make Xu Rong nervous? Especially when he knew that the army in Luoyang City was friend or foe, he was just tense and ready to strike at any time, which was already calm.

This is also the reason why he knows Li Ru, if it were someone else, Xu Rong would definitely not believe him so easily, and let the other party make such a choice. It is precisely because he knows Li Ru, knows that Li Ru is far deeper than his mind on the surface, and knows that with Li Ru's character, he cannot put himself in danger, so there is a situation where today's army moves slowly.

"Stop!" At the head of the city, the captain held the battlements with his hands and shouted loudly.

As the captain's voice fell, Li Ru nodded at Xu Rong, who immediately raised his hand, and the cavalry, who had originally maintained a slow forward speed, immediately controlled the war horses under his seat to stop, staying in place and waiting for the latest order. It's just that it stopped, but the mind of this famous cavalryman was moving, and the joints of the hand holding the reins were already blue and white, and the reins were tightly squeezed into the flesh, which showed how nervous he was.

The captain of the city head saw Li Ru and his party stop, and breathed a sigh of relief again, and now he was even more convinced that this group of cavalry did not come with any malicious intent. Yes, who would be guilty of rebellion? Let's not talk about whether we can break through the city gate, and then it is impractical to capture Luoyang City, not to mention the many Taishou all over the world.

These were all things in the captain's mind, but he still had to be careful about his duty, so he asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" What's going on in town? You need to know that foreign troops cannot enter the city without an edict, and if they still enter the city without an edict, then you are guilty of rebellion! ”

The last sentence of the rebellion, the captain deliberately accentuated his tone, and only said it like rolling thunder, and the ordinary people near the city gate were unconsciously startled.

Li Ru was unmoved, and made a mess? In fact, it's not an exaggeration to call them rebels and thieves, but no one knows about it now. The captain's warning words sounded too weak and child's play to him, and what preparations did the person who was committing the trouble stop what he was preparing to do because of a word?

Everything is predetermined at the beginning, and if you don't gain everything, you lose everything, and there is no such thing as stopping.

"We are the subordinates of the general of Beizhonglang, and we are specially ordered to enter the city!" Xu Rong replied after glancing at Li Ru.

"Edict into the city?" The lieutenant's brows furrowed, and then he continued to ask: "Where is the edict, take it out." ”

The soldiers at the head of the city still maintained a vigilant posture, and did not relax because of Xu Rong's words or two. The same is true of the lieutenant, who will not let the army into the city under any circumstances without seeing the edict.

Of course, the lieutenant didn't know that the same thing had happened at the gate in the other direction as he was now, except that it wasn't as peaceful as he was here, where there was already fighting.

Li Ru took out the edict that had been prepared long ago from his arms, held it high with both hands, this was a certificate for entering the city that had been prepared for a long time, it was not a forgery, but a real edict stamped with the emperor's seal! Of course, there is not only one, but he also has about three copies in his hand, and it is easy to let the Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu enter the city.

But why did he do it? When the situation is calm, people will have a lot of inquiry, and they will deny and question. But once the situation is chaotic, even if the excuse is a little lame, it will make people unconsciously believe it. And Lu Bu is just a chess piece for him to stir up the situation in Luoyang. Let the pool of water in Luoyang City become chaotic and dirty, so that it is convenient for him to act.

As for whether Lu Bu can survive or not, it depends on his own creation. Isn't it the fate of a military general to die on the battlefield?

"You, go down and get the edict back." After seeing the edict in Li Ru's hand from a distance, the lieutenant ordered to a soldier beside him.

The vigilance in his heart now has dropped again and again compared to the beginning, and now, he has almost believed Li Ru's words, and when he sees the edict again, he believes that Li Ru and his party can easily enter Luoyang City.
