Chapter 124: Battle
But he said that Lu Bu turned his horse's head and left, but when Zhang Fei was about to chase after him, he was pulled by Liu Bei and said: "Lu Bu is brave, I'm afraid he will be deceitful." ”
Zhang Fei heard this, muttered a few words, and then didn't say anything more. After Lu Bu returned to the formation, he led three thousand iron cavalry back to his camp, and Liu Bei and the three also returned to the camp of the coalition army, so that the first battle between Dong Zhuo and the coalition army before the Tiger Prison Pass ended hastily.
Although Lu Bu was defeated, his invincible prestige was not far away, and even Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were also famous, of course, Tai Shici, who fought with Lu Bu in front of the battle, was a little better than Liu Guan and Zhang, after all, Tai Shi Ci was fighting Lu Bu alone and was not defeated.
……
Zhang Xiu was also in a surging mood after listening to Xu Huangmei's story, and asked: "Although Wen Hou was defeated, he did not lose, why didn't Dong Zhuo let Wen Hou fight today." ”
At this time, Zhang Ji took over the conversation and said: "I heard that Baibo and Yellow Turbans have invaded Hedong and have captured several small counties near the Yellow River. Uncle Wei listened to many colleagues say that Dong Gong was afraid that Bai Bo and Huang Turban would enter the Kou Division, so he had the intention of retiring from the army. ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, smiled and said, "It seems that Li Dao was inevitably scolded by Dong Zhuo." ”
Hu Zhen heard it, but said with a smile: "The lord guessed accurately, Li Dao was indeed scolded last night." ”
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "I'm afraid Dong Zhuo is going to abandon Luoyang and retreat to Chang'an, Guanzhong, but retreating to Chang'an is not something that can be retreated in a moment, there should be a big war here." ”
After hearing this, Hu Che'er said excitedly: "In this way, can I fight again?" ”
Zhang Xiu nodded and advised: "Don't be careless, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the coalition army, you have also seen before the Bishui Pass, no matter who you are up against, you must fight with all your might, if you feel defeated, retreat immediately." But he said it to everyone.
After Zhang Xiu talked about it, he talked to a few people about the Bishui Pass until the evening.
……
On the second day, Dong Zhuo's big tent.
In the great tent they will be divided into two rows.
Lu Bu was the first to go out to fight. Dong Zhuo said: "The thief army is powerful, although Feng Xian and my son are brave, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, so let's hold the tiger prison." "Obviously, Lu Bu is not allowed to fight.
Zhang Xiu heard it, but said out loud: "What the lord said is very true, although Wen Hou is brave, but his two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. As soon as Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Lu Bu had already cast an angry gaze. Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, ignored Lu Bu's gaze, and continued: "Xiu is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to help Wenhou." In this way, Wen Hou does not need to fight with two fists and four hands, and I believe that if he fights alone, no one in the coalition army is Wen Hou's opponent. After saying this, Lu Bu's originally angry gaze at Zhang Xiu had turned into gratitude at some point.
After Dong Zhuo listened, he lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then Hua Xiong also came out and said: "Xiong is also willing to help Wen Hou to resist the coalition army." ”
Dong Zhuo set his eyes on Li Ru at this time, but Li Ru said: "Wenhou's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and General Zhang and General Hua are also tiger generals in the world. ”
After Dong Zhuo listened, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you should go and prepare, and the prime minister will personally watch the battle and cheer on the gate." ”
Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong responded at the same time: "No." ”
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and asked the generals to go out, leaving Li Ru alone and asking: "Wen Wei, the prime minister is ready to abandon Luoyang and retreat to Chang'an, why let them fight?" There is no benefit in victory, but defeat will further demoralize our army. ”
Li Ru heard it, but said with a smile: "Lord, Wen Hou is not satisfied with the defeat the day before yesterday, Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong came to the Tiger Prison without making an inch, and the heart of seeking war is naturally heartfelt, but it is not good for the lord not to let them fight." Now that the three of them are fighting, Yuan Shao and others probably think that the lord wants to hold on to the Tiger Pass, but they don't know that the lord has already abandoned Luoyang, so it is a good way to confuse Yuan Shao and others, so that our army can prepare calmly. ”
After listening to this, Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable, so after today's battle, I will return to Luoyang to prepare for the relocation of the capital." ”
After Li Ru listened, he bowed down and said, "The lord is wise." ”
Dong Zhuo laughed after hearing this: "In this way, Wen Zhuo and his own appearance went to watch my Xiliang Jian'er show his might." ”
Li Ru replied, "No." ”
……
However, it was said that Zhang Xiu returned to the camp, ordered 5,000 iron horses, and led Xu Huang and Hu Che'er out of the Tiger Prison Pass to Lu Bu's camp under Zhang Ji's instructions. When he came to Lu Bu's camp, he saw that Hua Xiong had already arrived and was talking to Lu Bu in the tent.
Zhang Xiu came to Lu Bu's tent, in addition to seeing Hua Xiong, there were also generals with a face like purple jade and eyes like stars, and when he looked at it, it was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
After several people saluted each other, Lu Bu grabbed Zhang Xiu and said: "Today, I thank Brother Bo Yuan, if it weren't for Brother Bo Yuan's help, I'm afraid my father-in-law would not let Bu fight." ”
Zhang Xiu replied with a smile: "Wen Hou is serious, Xiu only arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass yesterday, but he couldn't see Wen Hou's tiger power the day before yesterday, but it's a pity. If Yuan Shao and others bully more and less again, they will have to ask about the weapons in the hands of General Xiu and Hua. ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed and said: "In this way, Bu first thanked the virtuous brother Boyuan, and today Budang took the head of the black guy and the red-faced man to thank the two virtuous brothers for their help." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, and then reminded: "Wen Hou is also careless, these two people have also fought in front of the Bishui Pass, which is very extraordinary. Moreover, there is still a white horse general in the coalition army, and martial arts should not be under these two. ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu was secretly surprised that Zhang Xiu's martial arts had also fought with the two, and he knew that the recent rumors in the army that Zhang Xiu's martial arts had advanced were not false. Hearing Zhang Xiu mention the white horse general, Lu Bu asked, "But that Tai Shi Ci?" ”
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: "No, there is another young general who also rides a white horse, and he is a person from Changshan, Hebei, whose name is Zhao Yun." After listening to this, Lu Bu secretly remembered.
Zhang Xiu, in order to avoid the rest of the people from being unfamiliar with the enemy, said: "Xiu also knows that there are two generals under Yuan Shao, one Yan Liang and one Wen Chou, who have the courage of ten thousand people, but Yuan Shao's love generals. Wen Hou's martial arts are naturally not afraid, but Wen Yuan and Brother Hua should pay attention, and Tai Shi Ci is also a good person. Zhang Liao is a humble person, so he naturally listened to it, and Hua Xiong was instructed by Zhang Xiu, and he also remembered it secretly.
After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Lu Bu said: "Brother Bo Yuan is very knowledgeable. Bu is out of the battle now, but there are two virtuous brothers who are in the battle for Bu. Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong returned the salute at the same time, and then several people walked out of the big tent at the same time, mounted their horses and took weapons, and led a total of 10,000 iron horsemen out of the camp.
