Chapter 345: Dong Zhuo withdraws his troops

The next day, Cao Cao's offensive was even more ferocious than yesterday.

The hammer that had been dangling finally moved, and under the attack of countless arrows and stones, it hit the door one by one.

"Is Cao Cao crazy?" Li Ru was stunned in disbelief.

Cao Cao is attacking at any cost, such a fierce attack, even if it is only half a day, there will be at least thousands of dead and wounded!

Which leading general would attack so stupidly?

Either it's stupid, or there's something else going on!

Dong Zhuo's uneasiness became more and more intense, his old face tensed, and he kept thinking about it.

He had the intention to let Lu Bu kill him, but he was worried that it was a trap, and he struggled in his heart.

Dong Zhuo really missed Jia Xu, and thought about it very much, but this time he didn't ask.

Seeing Cao Cao's offensive like a tide, Li Ru was also anxious, thinking about it left and right, and suddenly said: "Ming Gong, maybe you can contact Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao!" ”

"It's too late!"

At this time, Hu Zhen hurriedly came up from below, and said with a gloomy face: "Duke Dong, the information from Luoyang City said that the little emperor sent an envoy, calculate the time, and it will be possible to arrive at noon tomorrow." ”

"Cao Cao, this is in a hurry!"

Li Ru immediately said: "Duke Ming, then Yuan Shao pushed the last defeat to him, and Cao Cao was worried that the envoy would ask for the guilt, so he went crazy!" ”

Dong Zhuo also recognized Li Ru's words, looked down at Cao Jun below, and said, "Who is coming?" ”

"It is said to be Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu."

Hu Zhen's face was solemn, and he said, "Duke Ming, the imperial court is really here this time." ”

When Li Ru heard this, his eyes flashed gloomily, and he said to Dong Zhuo with an obscure expression: "Duke Ming, do you still remember that the rumor spread by Yuan Shu, about the edict of the first emperor, was passed on to Liu Xie?" ”

Of course, Dong Zhuo remembered that the fat old face quickly trembled, and said in a deep voice: "Let Cao Cao attack, at most two days, the old man will personally welcome King Chen Liu's return to Xiang County and inherit the ......."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's words came to an abrupt end.

Li Ru understood, and hurriedly said: "Ming Gong is wise!" ”

Hu Zhen obviously understood, and his emotions couldn't help but get excited.

Lu Bu held a halberd in his hand, majestic, and strode up surrounded by a large number of people.

"Father-in-law, I heard that Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, is here?" Lu Bu's voice was like thunder, and the people around him could hear it clearly.

Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed gloomily, and then he said with a smile: "How did I know it?" ”

Lu Bu was unconscious, and said: "News from Xuzhou, father-in-law, the child captured that Liu Xie for you!" ”

Li Ru listened to Lu Bu's words with a strange expression.

They just got the news here, and Lu Bu got the news from Xuzhou?

No matter how you look at it, I think it's very weird.

Hu Zhen sneered and said, "General Lu is well-informed. ”

Lu Bu had long been unhappy with Hu Zhen's yin and yang weirdness, and the halberd pointed straight at him and shouted: "Hu Zhen'er, do you dare to fight?" ”

Hu Zhen didn't panic, and said lightly: "I'm not your opponent, you can kill me in front of Ming Gong." ”

"No!"

Niu Fu, Guo Yan, Li Yu and a large group of people rushed up and blocked between the two.

Niu Fu glared and said, "You want to kill Hu Zhen?" ”

Guo Yan, Li Yu and the others also looked solemn, holding the handle of the knife in their hands, blocking in front of Hu Zhen.

Niu Fu and the others were not here to persuade them, they obviously stood in front of Hu Zhen and confronted Lu Bu, an outsider.

Lu Bu was not afraid at all, and shouted: "Guts rats, let's go together!" ”

Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others under Lu Bu fiercely pulled out their weapons and guarded Lu Bu's side.

Dong Zhuo saw that these people were lawless and didn't take him seriously, his face was blue with anger, and he was about to drink.

"Lu Bu dog thief, hand over my wife!"

Suddenly, Zhang Ji rushed up, spear like lightning, and attacked Lu Bu's back.

Lu Bu had already realized it, and the halberd stabbed back violently.

Seeing this, Niu Fu, Guo Yan, Hu Zhen and others hesitated, and all kinds of weapons attacked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't panic at all, blocked Zhang Ji, and the halberd swept away, and easily forced back the besieging people.

Gao Shun and the others were back to back with Lu Bu, vigilantly looking around.

"Lu Bu took my wife and helped me kill him!" Zhang Ji's eyes widened angrily, turned red, and he shouted and killed again.

In this era, it is customary to plunder people's wives and daughters, but it is also the most hated.

Hu Zhen couldn't get used to Lu Bu, so when he hesitated, the big axe in his hand slashed directly at the top of Lu Bu's head.

The crowd was scuffled together again, shouting and screaming, murderous.

Dong Zhuo trembled with anger on the side, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Ru was even more dumbfounded, talking about Cao Cao's crazy attack on the outside, but fighting on the inside.

"Separate them for the old man!"

After a while, Dong Zhuo finally came to his senses and yelled angrily.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers forcibly interspersed in an attempt to separate everyone.

But everyone was red-eyed, especially Lu Bu, who was so powerful that he even killed Dong Zhuo's own soldiers.

When they were separated and Dong Zhuo was not allowed to be angry, Zhang Ji knelt on one knee and said angrily: "Duke Ming, Lu Bu just robbed my wife Zou and asked Duke Ming to call the shots!" ”

Lu Bu erected a halberd, stood in place, sneered, and said, "Nonsense! I, Lu Bu, am that kind of person! It was the Zou family who admired me and recommended himself for a pillow! ”

Zhang Ji was furious, stood up again and continued to fight.

"Stop! Stop it all for the old man! ”

Dong Zhuo was furious, pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Whoever dares to mess around again, the old man will kill him!" ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was murderous, everyone was suppressed.

Seeing this, Hu Zhen said coldly: "Please also ask Ming Gong to investigate thoroughly!" ”

Niu Fu, Guo Yan, and Li Yu immediately followed, raised their hands and said, "Please also ask Ming Gong to investigate thoroughly!" ”

Although Zhang Ji was marginalized because of his nephew Zhang Xiu's defection to the imperial court, Zhang Ji and Niu Fu, Guo Yan and others have been comrades-in-arms for many years, where is there any reason not to help?

Seeing that these people were besieging him, Lu Bu was fearless and fearless, and shouted: "A group of rats, dare to go to the ring? ”

Where would Dong Zhuo have thought of such a thing, he had a splitting headache and missed Jia Xu very much.

This Lu Bu became famous in a battle, Dong Zhuo also needed him to deter the coalition forces of the imperial court, and Niu Fu and others were confidants who had followed him for many years, with the palms of their hands behind their backs, how to choose?

Zhang Ji's face was hideous, his killing intent floated, and he stared at Lu Bu closely, as if as long as Lu Bu didn't pay attention, he would attack and kill him.

Niu Fu and the others' personal soldiers also came up unknowingly and quietly surrounded Lu Bu in the middle.

Gao Shun and others are also mobilizing their subordinates, and the small Arrow Pavilion is full of surrounding.

Not far away, the offensive of the Cao army became more and more fierce, and the Cao army climbed to the top of the city without interruption.

The boulders of the catapult kept falling, randomly smashing at every place that was closed.

And the hammer hitting the door one by one, one by one, is more violent than the other.

On the one hand, there is a precarious pass, and on the other hand, there is a military general who fights to the extreme, Dong Zhuoqi's face is pale, and he jumps like thunder, and shouts: "Everyone retreat, Hu Zhen, you come to guard the pass, and the others, follow me!" ”

Dong Zhuo was holding a sharp sword, and the personal soldiers around him did not hide their murderous intentions, who dared to move unwillingly.

Dong Zhuo walked in the front, and kept looking at Li Ru beside him.

The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, and none of them can be hurt, it was when Cao Cao's offensive was the most fierce, and Dong Zhuo didn't dare to be careless.

Li Ru was speechless.

He nominally followed Dong Zhuo, and secretly took refuge in Lu Bu, at this time, if he said the wrong word, it might lead to death!

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo whimpered in his heart, and missed Jia Xu more and more.

Dong Zhuo got down from the city tower, and before he had walked a few steps, suddenly a soldier rushed over, fell unsteadily, rolled and climbed, came to Dong Zhuo, and shouted urgently: "Lord, Jingzhou Liu Biao sneak attacked Xiangxian, Kong Ling and others are the internal response, Xiangxian has fallen." ”

Dong Zhuo's face changed suddenly, and the long sword was against the herald, shouting: "Nonsense! When did Liu Biao enter Yuzhou, why didn't the old man know at all!? ”

The herald was taken aback, and said tremblingly: "Lord Princess, it means that Dong Zhonglang will order the news of the villain." ”

General Dong Zhonglang, Dong Zhuo's nephew, Dong Yi, is responsible for guarding Xiangxian.

Li Ru had already believed it, and he was too frightened to speak.

Niu Fu was anxious, and said loudly: "Father-in-law, go back to the teacher, if you don't go, our wives and children will die!" ”

Niu Fu's family members are all in Xiangxian County, once the imperial court soldiers and horses enter the city, according to the convention, it is the three clans, and no one is left!

Guo Yan, Li Yu and others also spoke: "Ming Gong, go back to the teacher, Xiangxian can't be lost!" ”

"Once Xiangxian is lost, we will be rootless, and we will be surrounded by the imperial court here at any time!"

"Ming Gong, go back to the teacher!"

"Let's go back to the teacher!"

Dong Zhuo's henchmen are in a hurry, everything they have is in Xiangxian, and if Xiangxian is lost, they will be lost dogs, and defeat will be a matter of time!

Dong Zhuo looked at this group of people, and his heart was more anxious than them, but he knew that once he left the bottle and pot pass, this bottle and pot pass would be lost. At that time, the imperial army will drive straight into Xiangxian County.

"Feng Xian my son,"

Dong Zhuo had a calm face and said: "You escort the old man back to Xiang County, Hu Zhen left to guard the bottle and pot pass, and told him that if the bottle and pot pass is lost, the old man will punish him for the three clans!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Bu did not hesitate and replied loudly.

But Yu Guang glanced at Zhang Ji, Niu Fu and others, and there was a chill in his eyes.

Zhang Ji met his eyes, his face full of murderous intent.

He knew that Lu Bu had not had time to do anything when he robbed his wife, his innocence was still there, and he had to be rescued as soon as possible!

Dong Zhuo didn't care so much, hurriedly packed up, left the bottle and pot pass with the army, and returned to Shixiang County as soon as possible.

Hu Zhen, who was left behind, looked shocked and incredulous, and asked Xiang Bing, "The lord is really gone, leaving only 10,000 people for me?" ”

The soldier said: "Yes, moreover, it is the old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

Hu Zhen's eyes suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.

Isn't that tantamount to sending him to death?

10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they keep the bottle and pot off, and how can they deal with Cao Cao?

Hu Zhen's face was extremely ugly, and he was at a loss when he had time.

And when it was closed, Cao Cao's offensive became more urgent, and the shouting of killing seemed to be right in front of him.

Hu Zhen had no other way, and said urgently: "Guard! Hold it for me! ”

The pro-soldiers had no choice but to respond, and 10,000 people desperately defended the pass.

Cao Cao really attacked very fiercely, Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, and Huang Gai had already taken the lead, as if they were going to take the bottle pot today!

Behind, Cao Cao squinted his narrow eyes and stared coldly.

"There are fewer of them."

Cao Ren stood next to Cao Cao, keenly noticed the change in the gate, and whispered to Cao Cao: "General, there is a situation. ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "The Imperial City Mansion said that it might be done in advance." ”

Cao Ren understood, looked back, and said, "Do you want to press it up?" ”

There were still 30,000 troops behind them, and they were always making preparations.

"Hold it for now."

Cao Cao looked up at him and said, "The envoy is about to arrive, you can't break the city in advance, let them retreat." ”

Cao Ren said: "Yes." I'll send someone to find out what's going on inside the gate. ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and said, "Keep an eye on them." ”

Cao Ren responded knowingly, and said, "Then, Yuan Shao's ...... over there"

Cao Cao suddenly snorted coldly and said, "If he had found it first, he wouldn't have been so quiet." ”

Cao Ren didn't say any more, and ordered Xiahoudun, Guan Yu, and Huang Gai to withdraw.

The fierce offensive army, like the tide, retreated rhythmically.

Hu Zhen, who was closed, breathed a sigh of relief and pondered what to do.

Dong Zhuo ran away with everyone, leaving him to break the queen, which was actually equivalent to asking him to die.

Cao Cao collected his troops and returned to the camp, and Liu Bei and Sun Ce were in the big tent, talking about the situation of the war.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei also noticed the strangeness of the bottle and pot closing, and you kept asking questions and discussing.

And Cao Cao was slightly absent-minded, and he had no one to deal with.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce also felt it, but they were not enough in the eyes of the imperial court now, their strength was weak, and they didn't know that the imperial court sent an envoy to supervise the battle.

Guo Jia drank wine and sat on the side, also waiting quietly.

Luoyang City is not too far from here, but judging from the news they got, it is Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, but there are other noises, which seem ambiguous, and no one knows what the situation of this envoy is.

At this moment, Zhao Yun escorted Liu Yu and Xun Yu to a valley not far from the bottle and pot pass.

Liu Yu seemed to be very curious about everything, and went in and out of more than 2,000 forbidden troops, and then actually chased a hare and ran into the mountains.

was chased back by Zhao Yun and said: "Your Royal Highness wants a hare, Weichen sent someone to catch it, don't go into the mountain, it's too dangerous." ”

Liu Yu hugged the little rabbit in the cage, trembling, smiled, and then tilted his face and said to Zhao Yun: "I used to want to raise one, but I was beaten by my father, Zilong, can I raise him for a while?" ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "It's okay before entering the palace, and the Second Highness should not bring it into the palace." ”

"Great!"

Liu Yu held the cage, trotted to his carriage, took out snacks from it, and was about to feed them to the rabbits.

Xun You watched clearly from the sidelines, and frowned secretly.

Although their 'Yingchuan Party' belongs to His Royal Highness Liu Shao, that His Highness is a little 'stupid', not the appearance of a Ming Jun.

Their gaze also quietly shifted to this Second Highness.

Seeing him jumping out like this, he didn't know the etiquette at all, if he ascended the throne, maybe he would be another emperor!

Xun You looked at it expressionlessly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Your Majesty today is not the Ming Jun in their hearts, and can only hope for the next generation.

This next generation did not give them hope.
