The coalition forces and Dong Zhuo's army had a routine offensive and defensive battle every day. The coalition forces could not defeat it. Dong Zhuo's army didn't want to fight, so they just dragged it on until they died. It seemed that Yuan Shao had completely forgotten what he said before that he and Dong Zhuo were incompatible with each other.
By the way, he has gained enough fame now. Of course, if he can capture Hulao Pass and march to Luoyang, his reputation will be spread all over the world.
Chen Xi looked at the blood-stained Hulao Pass. The siege battle was so cruel, and people fell every day.
"Zichuan, how long do you think it will take us to get to Luoyang if this continues!" Zhang Fei asked with a depressed look. Ninety percent of the severe injuries suffered last time have been recovered, and according to Zhang Fei himself, there are also Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
It feels like this guy's strength has actually increased.
"Come on, I haven't seen Dong Zhuo sitting on the top of the city for several days. I think Dong Zhuo's army will also abandon the pass and escape." Chen Xi said calmly, "By the way, third brother, what do you think of Lu Bu?
"
"Lu Bu?" There was some disgust on Zhang Fei's face, but then he scratched his head and said, "To be fair, he is indeed a master, but I am not happy with his character. What's wrong with Zichuan?"
"I will first create a lineup of all fantasy generals. The basic requirements are at your level." Chen Xi said expressionlessly.
"Huh? This is probably going to be very difficult. Your third brother is an extremely skilled person, counting heads on his fingers!" Zhang Fei raised his head with the expression of a lonely expert.
"I was almost beaten to death by Lu Bu..." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"Zichuan, let's not talk about Lu Bu's character. Lu Bu's own power alone will make it difficult for us to recruit him." Zhao Yun appeared quietly behind Chen Xi and said.
"So you don't mind if we try to recruit him." Chen Xi turned his head and found that not only Zhao Yun, but also Guan Yu and Liu Bei were there.
"Lu Bu is indeed a hero. If Zichuan wants to try to recruit him, he can give it a try." Liu Bei opened his mouth and gave a sure message. In his opinion, if this kind of disappearing thing doesn't have much impact, as long as Chen Xi is willing
He doesn't mind wasting his time if he does it.
On the other side, Li Ru was correcting documents in accordance with Dong Zhuo's request. After this batch was completed, according to his estimation, the tung oil was almost ready. All that was left was to take away all the treasures and money, and then reveal the news to Guandong.
All the rats were lured in and burned half to death.
"Huh?" Li Ru looked at the memorial, thought for a while, took a blank imperial edict from the side, filled in some random things, and then stamped it with a jade seal. Then he threw the memorial aside and continued to review the next memorial. Now
Li Ru really has great power.
Under the light, the memorial clearly stated that Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, and Tao Qian, the pastor of Xuzhou, jointly recommended Liu Xuande, a clan clan member of the Han Dynasty and Pingyuan Prime Minister, as the governor of Taishan County. Afterwards, they expressed a lot of compliments.
Li Ru relied on the intelligence system at hand to know that Guan, Zhang and Zhao were all under Liu Bei, so he was naturally interested in recruiting such powerful generals. Now that the Prime Minister has delegated power to his hands, he naturally has to consider it conscientiously for the Prime Minister. Maybe
This line is not used now. After a few years, when the world's powerful troops leave Hangu, many casual chess pieces will be used by then, and Liu Bei happens to be his favorite chess piece.
"Who are you?" Lu Bu asked strangely, looking at the little old man sitting in his home drinking wine.
"I'm just a messenger. Someone asked me to deliver a letter to you. It was to thank General Lu for his actions in Bingzhou, so I gave this letter to you." The old man stood up and took out the letter from his arms.
Pass it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's face was expressionless, but the struggle in his eyes was hard to hide. He took a deep breath, took the letter from the old man's hand, and said to the servant behind him, "Give him some money and send him out of Luoyang."
"Thank you." The old man bowed and walked out quickly.
Opening the envelope, Lu Bu glanced through it quickly, and then closed the letter in surprise. Holding the envelope, the shock in his heart was written directly on his face. He reached out and shook the entire letter into powder, and said to another servant, "My name is Wen."
Come here to discuss matters!"
The next day, Li Ru ordered someone to inform Lü Bu and asked him to dig up the Luoyang imperial tomb and collect its treasures. Lü Bu said he was still injured and refused to agree.
Li Ru frowned slightly when he heard the news, but he didn't force Lu Bu too much. Instead, he ordered Li Que to dig up the imperial tomb. This was an out-and-out job for Li Que!
"Li Wenyou, how dare you treat me like this!" Lu Bu locked himself in the inner room and roared angrily. He remembered what the letter said that once he discovered the imperial tomb, he would be completely labeled as a traitor.
The mark can no longer be cleansed, and the entire Han Dynasty will never truly accept him!
Thinking again about what was said in the letter that Li Ru would set fire to the entire Luoyang, even Lu Bu felt frightened. He couldn't imagine how many people would be displaced. Wasn't fighting against the barbarians in Bingzhou just to ensure the safety of one side?
? If the fire goes down, millions of people in Luoyang will be doomed!
"General!" Zhang Liao stood at the door and shouted loudly.
"Wenyuan, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?" Lu Bu asked with a gloomy look.
"The whole of Luoyang has been filled with tung oil. If I hadn't gone out to investigate, I might still be in the dark." Zhang Liao said with an angry look, "What does Li Ru want to do!"
"He wants to burn Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an." Lu Bu said calmly.
"What?" Zhang Liao shouted, and then everything connected together like a thread, "Fengxian, what should we do?"
"There is no good way. It is estimated that as long as we have a slight overreaction, the children of Bingzhou will be wiped out in Luoyang, and Xu Rong will be transferred back." Lu Bu said with a gloomy face, "Now we can only take one step at a time. I just pushed
After missing the mission of excavating the imperial tomb, Li Ru has always been suspicious of us."
"Fengxian, let's go back to Bingzhou after this time. The sons and daughters are all waiting for us. When we get back there, we will no longer care about these nonsense things. We will beat our barbarians and they will rob their emperor." Zhang Liaoyi.
He looked at Lu Bu expectantly and said.
Lu Bu was speechless. He wanted to go back to Bingzhou, but he didn't dare to go back.
Ever since Ding Yuan came to King Qin with him who had no intention of coming to Luoyang, ever since that time Ding Yuan left his hometown with most of the Bingzhou soldiers, ever since that time because there were not enough soldiers to protect the Bingzhou border fortress, the Saibei Hu people went south to herd horses, and
At that time, the people he faced were not the Hu people from Saibei, so he did not have the courage to go back.
"Fengxian!" Zhang Liao interrupted Lu Bu's thinking.
"You can't go back." Lu Bu said coldly. Get ready for the fight. We will have a fierce battle. Saving our children in Bingzhou is far more important than thinking about those things that have disappeared!
