Chapter 23: It's not that we're incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too perverted
Dong Zhuo was not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly recovered from his grief.
His face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't kill this son, it's really hard to solve the hatred in my heart." ”
Li Ru's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Think twice, Prime Minister Lu Hao came alone today, which means that he doesn't want to embarrass Prime Minister."
If we persecute too much, I'm afraid that Lu Bu will also change.
It's not that we're afraid of him, it's that there are faint changes everywhere today. The Prime Minister issued an edict at the end of September, but few people have replied so far. If we have a dispute with Brother Lu Hao at this time, we are afraid that we will cheapen others for nothing.
Lu Hao is only a small trouble now, if the prime minister gives more favors, it is not impossible to take it into the account and become a good general. And the Prime Minister should not forget Lu Hao's original reminder, just in case. ”
When Li Ru said this, his expression couldn't help but be a little heavier.
If at the end of September, he was still a little dismissive of Li Hao's reminder, but now he has to think about it carefully.
In case there is a change in the world, Dong Zhuo will inevitably be the target of everyone.
Although Li Dao and the others were also eager to tear Li Haosheng alive, they couldn't help but feel endless fear and panic whenever they thought of the terrible scene where the sky and the earth were eclipsed and they couldn't help themselves.
Guo Yan also persuaded: "Prime Minister, Lu Hao'er is too evil, and the methods of the Yellow Turban Lux are fine." But he, he," Guo Yan said this, his face couldn't help showing fear, and his voice was hoarse: "He is like a ghost, and tens of thousands of soldiers have no power to resist in an instant. ”
"That's right, Lu Hao'er is definitely not a human, it's too scary."
He didn't see it at first, the rain of arrows in the sky was fixed in the air, and then he waved his sleeves lightly, and the rain of arrows turned into ashes. It was an arrow forged from fine iron, and it was just gone. If he had waved his sleeves at us, I, we. ”
The generals of the Xiliang Army dissuaded one after another, and directly praised Li Hao's strength to the sky.
In short, what they mean is not that we are too weak chickens, but that the enemy is too perverted.
Dong Zhuo was originally in a hurry, but when he heard everyone's dissuasion and description, he couldn't help but feel furious.
When he fought Zhang Jiao at the beginning, he had already broken his guts. Now that Li Hao has inherited Zhang Jiao's clothes, and there has been such a great change in just over a month, it is really impossible for Dong Zhuo not to be afraid.
The most important thing is Li Ru's words, which hit his heart.
Dong Zhuo seems to be unparalleled now, but since he learned that the Quartet Taishou Zhou Mu had not replied to his edict, he felt the breath of wind and rain coming.
If Lu Bu and Li Hao are forced to rebel now, it will really outweigh the losses for Dong Zhuo.
He was silent for a moment, and snorted coldly: "Okay, Benxiang will give him a chance." ”
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ru is thinking about the overall situation, while most of the generals in Xiliang were frightened by Li Hao.
Since that day, Luoyang has returned to a rare calm.
After the Xiliang army learned a lesson, they no longer dared to commit adultery and plunder, and even petty theft on the street was reduced.
If people who don't know come to Luoyang, they really think that it is a peaceful and prosperous world, and the road is not forgotten.
Perhaps the only difference is that since that day, there have been more guests in Li Hao's mansion, including people who oppose the Dong Alliance and people from Dong Zhuo's family.
In addition, the treatment of the Bingzhou Army has been affected to a certain extent, and it is obviously wary and distrustful of Dong Zhuo. There are many people in the Bingzhou Army who are dissatisfied with this, and feel that Li Hao can be promoted to the rank and knight because he sacrifices the future of the Bingzhou Army.
However, after Li Hao sent 3,000 good war horses, the generals of the Bingzhou Army said that Li Hao was a good brother of the Bingzhou Army, and everyone was actually a family, this gift was too valuable, and Li Hao was too polite.
In this era, war horses are an extremely scarce resource.
Although the Bingzhou army had nearly 20,000 troops, the cavalry numbered only 2,000. The 3,000 war horses sent by Li Hao were enough for the Bingzhou army to expand the cavalry team to 5,000 people.
And the strength of 5,000 cavalry is far greater than that of its own infantry.
It is even unceremoniously said that 5,000 cavalry was enough to easily defeat 20,000 infantry. If there is no hoplite who can restrain the cavalry, or the corresponding sharp weapons, even 20,000 more infantry is meaningless.
Therefore, Li Hao's 3,000 war horses can be described as a considerable gift in this era.
However, for this heavy gift, Lu Bu was quite dissatisfied.
Lu Bu on the house.
Li Hao's face was leisurely, and his performance was quite relaxed.
Lu Bu frowned, and reprimanded: "Zhijie, you are too bold to dare to indulge the soldiers to snatch the five thousand war horses of the Xiliang army. Hey, it's good for you to let your brother say about you. Now my father-in-law is afraid that he will not hate you to death. ”
Li Hao felt that he was actually quite innocent, I just said borrowing a few war horses to travel, who knew that those unreliable guys actually robbed one-third of the war horses of the Xiliang Army.
Although this matter was an oolong from beginning to end, with the five thousand war horses in hand, Li Hao said that it was impossible to let them out.
However, 5,000 war horses are really a huge burden on the current Sili Lieutenant Department, not to mention that the daily consumption of forage is astronomical. Just trying to recruit enough cavalry has already made Li Hao a little anxious.
There are 1,200 full staff of subordinate soldiers, and there are no more than 200 people who can ride horses, and most of them are too bad to look at directly.
In desperation, Li Hao could only give most of the war horses to Lu Bu, and by the way, borrowed three hundred cavalry with good skills from Lu Bu. On the one hand, they enrich their own cavalry team, and on the other hand, let them bring other rookie cavalry.
Li Hao woke up from his contemplation and said with a smile: "What can you do if you hate me, he is already too busy to take care of himself, but he has no time to pay attention to us." Moreover, we got 5,000 war horses, and Dong Zhuo did not dare to act rashly. ”
When Li Hao said this, he chuckled and said, "It seems that we really scared Dong Xiangguo last time, and actually expanded the Xiliang Army to 100,000 people in just six days. ”
Lu Bu saw that Li Hao said it easily, and his face was full of helplessness.
Compared with Dong Zhuo's unscrupulous expansion, the state army in his hands is not so lucky. Now that Dong Zhuo's strength is getting stronger and stronger, even Lu Bu feels great pressure.
"Don't worry, he'll beg us later." Li Hao saw that Lu Bu's face was full of worry and comforted.
It's almost mid-November, and the situation in the world is getting more and more complicated.
Everywhere the Assassin Prefecture is expanding its army, and a fool can see who they are targeting. So since he learned about the situation in various places, Dong Zhuo still had the heart to pay attention to Li Hao's little trouble.
Li Hao said, the corners of his mouth were slightly playful, and said: "I received an invitation from Wang Yun today, inviting me to the banquet, it seems that some people can't sit still." ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned.
Wang Yun is a person he knows, a standard old fox, on the surface he obeys Dong Zhuoyan, but in fact, no one knows what he is thinking.
Hearing Wang Yun's banquet for Li Hao, Lu Bu couldn't help reminding: "This person is not simple, you should be careful when you know the festival." ”
Li Hao laughed in his heart.
He naturally knew that Wang Yun was not simple, this was an old fox who played with Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo with a beauty.
Speaking of beauty tricks, Li Hao is quite expecting Wang Yun to use it for himself. He thought of Diao Chan, one of the four beauties of China, and looked forward to tonight's banquet.
He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I have my own measure." ”
