"General Luo, don't chase it, gather Wagang and surrender the army" Shen Luoyan stopped Luo Cheng from continuing the pursuit, and said crisply.

Looking at Lu Bu's puzzled eyes, Shen Luoyan smiled and said: "Now that Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass are occupied by our army, Luoyang can be said to be in the bag, but once Luoyang is defeated, it will have to face the hostility of three sides at the same time. ”

"And once Kou Zhong retracts Xingyang and other places, the strength will rise sharply, when the time comes, it is the real three-legged tripod, this is not the result we want, once the three-legged momentum is completed, I am afraid that the Central Plains will be dragged into the quagmire of war, if Li Mi is put back, Xingyang is sandwiched between Luoyang and Liangdu, the potential for development is limited, but it can help us contain Kou Zhong, and we have precious time to rest"

"So, Li Mi can't die for the time being?" Lu Bu chuckled, of course, there are reasons, but it is estimated that there is also a reason why Li Mi is the former master of Shen Luoyan and does not want Li Mi to die in his own hands.

Although he knew, Lu Bu didn't say it, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, Shen Luoyan did this, Lu Bu would not be angry, but would be very happy, after all, Shen Luoyan is her own woman, and she has a wonderful spiritual connection, it is impossible for her to betray herself.

"Newspaper"

A Blood Wolf Guard Commander came in, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, General Shan has returned and is outside the camp, saying that he will be guilty of Jing Pleading." ”

"Guilty of pleading?" Lu Bu and Shen Luoyan glanced at each other, and Shen Luoyan could see the helplessness in Lu Bu's eyes.

The two of them came to the big tent of the Chinese army one after the other, just after two big battles, the big tent was a little broken, but it was also solemn and solemn, Lu Bu was on the main seat, looked at Shan Xiongxin who was kneeling on the ground, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, this matter is also inappropriate for me to think about, I should send someone else." "With the state of Qin Shubao and the others, even if they don't send generals, just that team of blood wolf troops or send any of the four major iron guards is enough to deal with it.

"No, military orders are like mountains, military regulations cannot be abolished, Shan Xiongxin makes his own opinions, privately indulges in enemy generals, the crime is hard to escape, please surrender the prince" Shan Xiongxin touched the ground deeply with his forehead and said in a loud voice.

Lu Bu's eyes were slightly downcast, indeed, there are rules in the army, the reason why military orders are like mountains, is because the orders are like mountains, and they cannot be violated, although in my heart, I also have some agreement with Shan Xiongxin's approach, the big husband, the grievances are clear, it should be so, but when it comes to military regulations, it is serious, although Lu Bu also understands Shan Xiongxin's approach, but understanding is understanding, if his subordinates do this, then Lu Buke will be finished sooner or later.

It's just how to punish, but it's not easy to grasp, the punishment is light, it is inevitable to provoke some people to disagree, but the punishment is heavy, Lu Bu is reluctant, in the previous life, it was because he didn't grasp this degree, which led to the dissatisfaction and backlash of his subordinates at a critical moment.

Lu Bu's eyes couldn't help but look at Luo Cheng and other generals, but he saw that they were all looking at him eagerly, Shan Xiongxin was bold and had a wide range of contacts, and many veterans under Lu Bu's account were dug by him from the rivers and lakes.

"Shan Xiongxin violated the military order, the crime is not forgiven, he will be punished for one year, the rod will be punished by one hundred, and the existing official position will be cut, but now our army is the time to employ people, this hundred rods will be written down, and they will be used in the army, and if they can wear the crime and make meritorious service, they can be reduced as appropriate" A flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Bu's mind, in the Three Kingdoms, this is the usual trick of Cao Cao and others, the reason why Lu Bu failed in his previous life was because they were not as flexible as Cao Cao, and they would not only make their subordinates use their lives, but also not let there be a gap between the monarch and the minister.

It's a very simple way of the emperor, it's just that Lu Bu in the previous life, no one around him mentioned it, it is Chen Gong, who is also the master of admitting death, and he has been punished, but he can also distinguish the main and secondary.

"Xie Wangye" A warm current rose in Shan Xiong's confidence, and he touched his head to the ground deeply, and the faces of the surrounding generals also showed a touch of joy, and they said: "The prince is wise"

Although it is serious, but with Shan Xiongxin's skills, he does not worry about meritorious service, Lu Bu said so, that is, he will no longer pursue this matter, Lu Bu's words are not thin on the generals in the army, in addition to sealing the road, there are additional meritorious services on weekdays, as for the official position, as long as Shan Xiongxin does not make an unforgivable mistake, I believe that Lu Bu will not treat him badly.

Shen Luoyan watched from the sidelines, smiling lightly, today's Lu Bu has become more and more of a king's demeanor, the spirit of a king, no one is born with it, even those who have natural leadership talents, they are also in the day after tomorrow, in order to constantly show their talents.

In fact, Lu Bu's character can be the overlord of one party, but he can't be called a hero, and because of this, Qin Shubao and others were not optimistic about Lu Bu at the beginning, and voted for Wang Shichong first, and then Li Shimin, but they didn't consider Lu Bu at all, because of his character.

And around Lu Bu, he was able to gather handsome talents like Shan Xiongxin and Luo Cheng, but it was also because of his character, although he was not a hero, but his bold character and the righteousness of being willing to risk his life for his friends made Shan Xiongxin and these people willing to work for him, perhaps in the eyes of those people of insight, Lu Bu's character is a congenital deficiency type in the battle for domination of the world, but it is such a character, but it can quickly condense the general's heart, making him invincible, and there will never be so many twists and turns in the heads of military generals.

Coupled with some luck, Lu Bu gathered talents like Shen Luoyan, Wei Zheng, and Xu Xingzhi to his side, making up for Lu Bu's shortcomings, and only then could he achieve today's hegemony.

"What's wrong?" Lu Bu looked at Shen Luoyan just looking at himself and laughing, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Nothing." Shen Luoyan smiled gently, then looked at the generals and said: "Now that Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass have been occupied by our army, the next step is to capture Luoyang, Li Tang cut off Luoshui before, but now it is cheap for our army, and now there is such chaos outside Luoyang City, Li Mi is hiding, Wang Shichong will not let go of this opportunity, our army is taking advantage of it." ”

When the generals heard this, their faces couldn't help but look excited, Luoyang, an imperial capital-level city alongside Chang'an, if Luoyang can be captured, not to mention the credit, this glory alone is also exciting.

Lu Bu also nodded, indeed, Luoyang is still the sooner it is taken, the better, Luoyang extends in all directions, connecting the north, the south, the east and the west, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, although taking Luoyang, it is inevitable that it will be coveted by other Li Lords, young marshal troops and Li Mi who is in the waning West Mountain, but when it comes to the meat of the mouth, Lu Bu is reluctant to give up.

"Lord Wang, Xiongxin is willing to be the pioneer and take Luoyang directly" Shan Xiongxin stood up and took a step forward, his voice was loud.

Pioneer, this is an opportunity to win the first merit, if it is an ordinary city, forget it, after all, Shan Xiongxin is now wearing a guilty body, this head merit, let it go, but this is Luoyang, the supreme glory, how can you say that you can let it go.

Luo Cheng took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the last general asks for his life" With Luo Cheng's departure, several more generals stood up and asked for the position of pioneer.

Lu Bu had a headache, whether it was Luo Cheng or Shan Xiongxin, or even several other generals of the Sui army, they all had good strength, and he was a little difficult to use as the vanguard.

"You generals don't have to fight, the battle of Luoyang is a bit special, in order to be able to gain a foothold in Luoyang as soon as possible, you have to use some extraordinary means, and all generals will be useful." Shen Luoyan chuckled lightly and said with a smile: "What we have to do now is to control Luoshui first to prevent anyone from getting in the way, in addition, Hangu Pass is occupied by our army, Li Valve will not be reconciled, and the garrison of Hangu Pass is also the top priority, once our army occupies Luoyang, the location of Hangu Pass is extremely important, and there must be a general to guard it to be safe, I don't know who is willing to guard Hangu Pass and resist Li Tang?" ”

Hangu Pass?

Everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to stand up, in comparison, the capture of Luoyang was not only more challenging, but also the temptation for everyone was great, but as Shen Luoyan said, Hangu Pass must not let go, once Lu Buhu took Luoyang, Hangu Pass will decide who can control the initiative between Lu Bu and Li Tang.

Shan Xiongxin gritted his teeth, took the initiative to take a step forward, bowed down and said, "I am willing to go."

Sticking to Hangu Pass also means that this grand event in Luoyang has no chance with him.

"Okay" Lu Bu nodded: "In this way, Xiongxin will order 50,000 troops to garrison Hangu Pass"

Now that Li Mi and the Tang army have been driven back, the important new nature of the Tiger Prison Pass has been reduced a lot, and the vacated army has been put in Hangu Pass, of course, it is impossible for the Blood Wolf Army to stay in Hangu Pass, so it has to be used on the blade.

At the same time, Lu Bu mobilized 30,000 troops in Jiangdong, which is already Lu Bu's current limit, plus the Blood Wolf Army and the Blood Wolf Guard, the number of troops that can participate in the capture of Luoyang is barely 80,000, Luoyang is an imperial capital-level city, 80,000 troops, even if there are elites such as the Blood Wolf Army and the Blood Wolf Guard, if you want to capture it, the 80,000 army is also a little stretched, you know, Li Mi wanted to capture Luoyang, but he had been preparing for many years, and he brought more than 200,000 troops before he dared to come.

Although the preparations made by Li Mi are now cheaper than Lu Bu, it is still extremely reluctant to capture Luoyang with 80,000 people, after all, she is not like Li Shimin, who has Dugu Valve as an internal response.

Fortunately, Lu Bu also had an ally, the earth sword Song Zhi personally brought 30,000 Lingnan troops.

In this way, Lu gathered 110,000 horses, plus some elites, which gave Lu Bu some confidence in his heart.

Then he quickly took control of the various ports in Luoshui, because Li Tang was fully prepared before, and cut off the falling water, drying up the moat of Luoyang, which made Lu Bu save a lot of time now.

During this time, Wang Shichong also frequently dispatched troops, Li Mi was blocked in the area of Yique Pass, and was confronting Wang Shichong's army, invisibly, but also shared some of the pressure of Lu Bu, Luoyang area, the situation is changing, and now it has entered the final stage, just waiting for the final general attack.
