"Junior brother, tell me, I lost because of my brother." Lu Bu said calmly.
"My little brother is about to withdraw from Sishui Pass. Senior brother, don't ask me where I'm going. I promise my brother one thing. As long as my brother stays at Sishui Pass for one day, I will never lead an army to invade. The bet between me and my brother is also very simple.
, Senior brother blocked the princes behind me at Sishui Pass for five days, making them unable to break through the pass for five days. I wonder if senior brother can do it?" Zuo Aoran said word by word as Lu Bu looked at Zuo Aoran, who was becoming a little stupid.
After a long time, Lu Bu finally woke up after Zuo Aoran called him. Lu Bu looked at Zuo Aoran and asked, "Do you really mean what you just said?"
"I'm not saying anything false, but senior brother, you have to listen carefully. Block these princes behind me for five days and don't let them..." Before Zuo Aoran could finish his words, Lu Bu interrupted him: "Huh! Junior brother!
Do you underestimate me too much? Or do you think too highly of those Kanto rats? Not to mention five days, even a hundred days, brother will not let these rats advance even half a step!"
Zuo Aoran said: "Okay! With these words of senior brother, junior brother can feel relieved. Then we two senior brothers can say goodbye again. As soon as the war is over..."
"Are we going to see the master together? I've written it down, I've written it down!" Lu Bu interrupted.
Zuo Aoran cupped his fists and said, "Senior brother, just say goodbye."
"Don't pass, don't pass." Lu Bu responded with clasped fists. Zuo Aoran turned his horse and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Bu. Lu Bu asked: "Junior brother! Where are you going to retreat to? Why are you blocking it for my brother?
Five days for the Kanto Rats? Could it be that my junior brother wants to seize the territory belonging to the Kanto Rats?"
"Senior brother, don't ask me what I'm going to do. As long as I fulfill my bet, that's all." After saying that, Zuo Aoran urged his horse to leave.
"Everyone in the world says that I, Lu Bu, am brave but without any strategy, but they don't know that I, Lu Bu, disdain to use strategy. My junior brother and brother made a bet with me. I just want to use my brother to block the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes. But junior brother, you can divide your troops to attack Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass
Suddenly, Luoyang is in danger, but the allied forces of the Kwantung princes have failed to make any success and cannot even attack the small Sishui Pass. In this way, junior brother can make a great reputation. I wonder if senior brother is right?" Lu Bu said slowly.
.
Zuo Aoran originally urged the horse to go away, but when he heard the second half of Lu Bu's words, Zuo Aoran reined in the horse. After Lu Bu finished speaking, Zuo Aoran slowly turned the horse's head back. He was inexplicably shocked and used
He looked at Lu Bu with disbelief, but while he was serious in his heart, he did not forget to curse: "What history? What Three Kingdoms? History has deceived me too much! Who said Lu Bu was brave and foolhardy? He is just a common man.
Generation! This shows that Lu Bu is not without plans, but just wants to use the simplest method to prove himself. What is the simplest way? Battlefield battles! Martial arts competitions! Personal battles!"
"Senior brother is absolutely right. Since senior brother already knows it so well, what should senior brother do next? Report it to Dong Zhuo? Or what?" Zuo Aoran calmed down. Since you already know, then
It would be pointless to hide it while choking. It would be better to speak out and get it over with.
Lu Bu was happy, looked at Zuo Aoran and said: "Senior brother will not lie, the bet will be fulfilled as usual, and senior brother will not report that you are going to separate your troops to attack Hulao Pass, senior brother will only sit back and watch your success or failure.
Brother, I’ll tell you the truth, Taishi Dong has sent troops in two directions, sending 100,000 troops to Sishui Pass, and he himself also led 40,000 troops to Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass is known as the most powerful pass in the world. One man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men are in charge of it.
Mo Dizhi said that the three thousand soldiers in Hulao can be regarded as an army of one hundred thousand! What's more, there are no less than one hundred thousand soldiers in Hulao Pass now. I would like to advise you, brother, it is better to surrender to Master Dong as soon as possible."
"No matter what, I'd like to thank my senior brother first. Since my senior brother doesn't think highly of me, I won't say anything more. Let's wait and see. I want my senior brother to see how Hulao Pass was captured by me."
!" Zuo Aoran said confidently.
Lu Bu crossed his arms and said, "Since my junior brother has such heroic words, he must have a well-thought-out plan. As a senior brother, I can only wish you immediate success!"
"Senior brother, just wait and see? How about we make another bet?" Zuo Aoran said with a smile.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "What? Junior brother, are you trying to circle senior brother again and put a trap on him?"
Zuo Aoran couldn't hear the word "trap", but he still said with a smile: "Oh! What are you talking about, senior brother? I just want to bet with senior brother on the success or failure of attacking Hulao Pass, so why is there a trap?
That’s what you said?!”
"It's not appropriate for you and me to talk any more. Just look at your rear and you will know that Brother Wei is very dissatisfied with your attack on Hulao Pass. I will consider you defeated! Junior brother, you have to think carefully about it!" Lu Bu
Seeing a sudden commotion in front of the formation behind Zuo Aoran, many people came out, so he said these hasty words.
Zuo Aoran tilted his head slightly and saw everything clearly. It turned out that a lot of people were pouring out of his own formation. Zuo Aoran knew without thinking that it must be the princes of Guandong. He defeated Lu Bu. How could they not come out?
? So Zuo Aoran said in a low voice: "Whoever loses owes the other a favor, and also invites the other party to a drink, how about it?" Lu Bu did not answer, but just nodded.
Zuo Aoran also nodded slightly, and then raised his voice: "If it weren't for the two armies fighting each other for their own masters, I, Zuo Aoran, would definitely make you my friend!"
"Haha! If not, I, Lu Bu, would be like this too!" Lu Bu said loudly.
Then the words of the two people were as loud as thunder. One was higher than the other, and they pulled the crane up, as if they were afraid that others would not hear. The purpose of the two people was naturally self-evident, which was to let their troops
I know quite clearly what the two of them are talking about. Of course, these words are irrelevant and there is no harm in listening to them.
After some words, Lu Bu led his troops back to the pass and prepared a strategy to defend against the enemy. Zuo Aoran also led his troops back to the camp, ignoring the princes who came out to watch the fun. Yuan Shao also sent people to urge Zuo Aoran to divide his troops.
This matter is in line with Zuo Aoran's wishes. We are now preparing to divide the troops.
Dong Zhuo's side really did what Lu Bu said and sent troops in two directions. This was only implemented at the suggestion of Dong Zhuo's first military advisor Li Ru. Dong Zhuo raised 200,000 troops and rushed to Sishui Pass and Hulao in two directions.
close.
One hundred thousand troops were led by Guo Si and Li Jue, and they sent additional troops to Sishui Pass. Before leaving, Li Ru made a special statement that he only had to strictly guard the pass and there was no need to go out to fight. The other route was also one hundred thousand strong, led by Dong Zhuo himself.
, Li Ru was accompanied by Zhang Zi, Wang Fang, Li Meng, Wang Chang and other generals.
The purpose of the 100,000 soldiers and horses coming to Hulao Pass this way is to use Hulao Pass as a base to attack, hoping to cut off the coalition forces of the princes, and then attack at the same time with the troops of Lu Bu, Li Jue and Guo Si at Sishui Pass, and finally reach
The purpose of defeating the coalition of princes.
While the two sides were increasing their troops, Li Ru also suggested sending the heads of Yuan Wei and his family to Sishui Pass for demonstration. Dong Zhuo adopted Li Ru's suggestion and sent troops to behead all the heads of Yuan Wei and his family before setting off.
Then he ordered a team of fast horses to carry the heads to Sishui Pass to frighten twenty princes.
