Chapter 60: The Great Battle of the Tiger (4)
Li Hui asked Liu Bei to take dozens of his brothers around the Tiger Prison Pass to block Dong Zhuo's reinforcements. When Liu Bei heard this, he was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Is General Li joking, I only have dozens of people under me, no matter how powerful I am, I will not be able to fight against Dong Zhuo's thousands of troops, didn't General Li let me wait for my brother to die?" ”
Li Hui smiled: "General Liu misunderstood, he didn't really resist, as long as he could drag them down!" ”
Liu Bei thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "Is it because Liu Bei is unwilling to help with this, but I have few soldiers and weak hearts, and I am really powerless, and I hope that Lord Li will find those powerful princes, if someone is willing to want me to borrow tens of thousands of troops, Liu Bei will definitely block Dong Zhuo's reinforcements." ”
Li Hui understood that Liu Bei didn't want to go, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and the two were silent for a while before leaving. As soon as Li Hui left, Zhang Fei said loudly: "Big brother, why don't you help him?" Isn't it all for me to beat Dong Zhuo? ”
Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei: "The third brother has to say more, the eldest brother has his own considerations!" ”
Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "What considerations, it's obvious that the eldest brother is greedy for life and afraid of death!" ......" Guan Yu hurriedly covered Zhang Fei's mouth and dragged him out of the tent.
Invite Liu Bei to declare defeat. On the way back, Li Hui didn't say a word. Zhao Yun knew that Li Hui was in a bad mood now, and he didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so he quietly followed behind Li Hui.
When passing by Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao happened to come out, saw Li Hui and Zhao Yun from a distance, and greeted: "General Li, what's the matter, you look unhappy?" ”
Li Hui sighed: "I'm worried about defeating Lu Bu, Lord Cao is in good spirits!" ”
Cao Cao laughed: "This has to be thanks to General Li's blessing to help me solve the problem of food and grass for two months, of course my spirit is much better, hahaha......"
Cao Cao pulled Li Hui into his tent. He asked, "General Li doesn't need to be discouraged. Cao Cao looked around and said in a low voice: "I just received news from Luoyang, saying that Dong Zhuo is preparing to move the capital and avoid us, so I think Lu Bu will not stay in the Tiger Prison for a long time, maybe he will be transferred by Dong Zhuo within two months, and then General Li can win without a fight, wouldn't it be good!" ”
Li Hui's eyes lit up: "Is this news accurate?" ”
Cao Cao said: "Absolutely! I heard that the emperor of Luoyang has already issued an order! ”
Hearing this, Li Hui's gloomy mood improved a lot, and he shouted to Cao Cao's subordinates: "Come to those wines, I want to have a drink with Lord Cao!" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly persuaded: "No, this is a military camp, and no alcohol is allowed in the army!" ”
Li Hui wanted to go, among all the princes, only Cao Cao's military camp was not allowed to drink. Pull Cao Cao to get up and leave: "You can't drink here, let's go outside to drink, go quickly, take advantage of my happiness now, I will definitely accompany you to drink a few more glasses!" ”
Cao Cao had no choice but to follow Li Hui out of the barracks, found a random place, got two jars of wine, chatted and tasted wine.
Yuan Shao lost a lot of grain and grass in vain, and he was depressed in his heart, holding a wine bowl in one hand and the news from Luoyang in the other. Take a look at the letter, take a sip of wine, and shed a tear.
Because Yuan Feng and Yuan Cheng did not cooperate with Dong Zhuo to move the capital. Their whole family was arrested by Dong Zhuo, and if Yuan Shu took a step forward, the Yuan family's life would be very likely to be lost.
Yuan Shao now regrets that the hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass he sent not only lost himself, but also his family. In case Li Hui defeated Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo moved his anger and the Yuan family, and he would definitely behead his father and uncle. Judging from the letter, Dong Zhuo will move the capital soon, and it is very likely that Lu Bu will be transferred, and Li Hui is very likely to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass without spending a single army. In this situation, there is a way to let Dong Zhuo reinforce the Tiger Prison, as long as it can hold on for two months, all problems will be solved.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was not surprised when he received Lu Bu's battle report. If Xingyang is lost, Bishui will definitely not be able to hold it, because Dong Zhuo has not arranged any decent army in Bishui. However, Lu Bu's insistence on the Tiger Prison still made Dong Zhuo very pleased.
For the sake of Wang Yun's daughter, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were very unhappy, and once they had the intention of killing Lu Bu, or suggested that Lu Bu be put in the Tiger Prison, but they didn't expect Lu Bu's old department to run there one after another. Dong Zhuo thought that when the coalition of the Kwantung princes came, although Lu Bu would not surrender, he would fight back, at least to avoid the battle, that was for sure, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu was still holding on. Based on this, Dong Zhuo's impression of Lu Bu has changed a lot.
Dong Zhuo threw the battle report to Li Ru and said: "My son made it clear in the letter that hundreds of thousands of princes in Kwantung are besieging Tiger Prison Pass, and it is only a matter of time before they are lost. ”
After reading the letter, Li Ru put it away in a proper manner, and said: "My father-in-law also knows that those courtiers are unanimously opposed, although the emperor has issued an order, but they have delayed it again and again, but they just don't leave, the dead man's things are easy to handle, but the living are difficult to deal with!" ”
Dong Zhuo scolded angrily: "It seems that the old man doesn't move some real things, they all think that the old man is easy to bully, pass on my order, let Li Dao and Guo Yan lead 10,000 troops tomorrow, and move me door to door, who doesn't move, burn their house first, and see if they move?" ”
"Yes!" Li Ru replied: "There is one more thing! ”
Dong Zhuo said with a dark face: "Say!" ”
Li Ru said: "What should the people of the Yuan family do?" ”
Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "You send someone to watch first, and I'll explain the rest to others, and I want to let the two little guys of the Yuan family know that the old man is not easy to bully!" ”
Luoyang City. It was originally a prosperous and lively place, the capital of the entire Han Dynasty. Pedestrians on the street rushed to and fro. The government has issued a notice that all the people must teach the military field in the west of the city within ten days, and if they disobey, they will be killed.
In fact, the people have long known that Dong Zhuo wants to move the entire Luoyang City, from the Son of Heaven to the people, they must follow Dong Zhuo to Chang'an. People with more flexible minds began to escape from the city under various names at this time, even if they ran to the mountains to hide, it was better than walking more than a thousand miles to Chang'an.
In the bustling crowd, a large group of Xiliang soldiers ran forward shouting loudly. Li Wei smiled and said to Guo Yan: "You didn't go to the imperial mausoleum yesterday, but I saw with my own eyes, so many good things, each of which is priceless, tsk, my eyes are dazzling!" ”
Guo Yan also smiled: "I also saw it, I was in the warehouse yesterday, used for dozens of cars, and you opened that person's tomb?" ”
Li Dao smiled: "Who else can there be?" It's the father of the emperor! ”
Guo Yan nodded: "No wonder?" Let's just say that he is a greedy emperor, after coming to Luoyang, I also looked for a place in the palace to find his treasures, but I didn't find it, and it was all buried in the soil, what a waste! ”
The two are talking about the rise. Xiaobing reported: "The two generals have arrived at the Taifu Mansion!" ”
