Chapter 382 Don’t go to Chang’an, there will be disaster if you go! (Three in One)
The night is as cool as water, and the stars are brilliant in the night sky.
Here in Tongguan, Lu Bu was sitting in the tent, reaching out and scratching his head constantly.
This is a problem I encountered when I went to Luoshui to look for the divine turtle.
Since then, he has felt itchy from time to time.
At this time, the night was already dark.
A lamp was lit where Lu Bu was.
He didn't fall asleep.
Sitting here, scratching his head and looking at the things on the table in front of him, he seemed lost in thought.
What's on the desk is the transfer order sent from Chang'an today.
He was asked to leave some of his troops to garrison here at Tongguan.
Then he led the remaining people to Chang'an for defense.
This transfer order was sent by his adoptive father Dong Zhuo.
If it were in the past, after receiving such a transfer order, Lu Bu would not have any doubts and would directly take his troops and horses to Chang'an according to the transfer order obtained by his adoptive father.
But now, he began to appear hesitant here.
After all, now is different from before. Now he has done something bad, and it is not a small thing.
When something happens, you can't help but think too much.
Even if he was confident that everything he had done before was extremely secret and could not be known by Dong Zhuo.
I always feel like I have some drumming in my heart...
I also told you the reason why I transferred myself.
It was said to be Liu Kede’s great victory in Hanzhong.
His adoptive father, Dong Zhuo, an old thief, will take advantage of the situation to seek the position of Grand Master.
Then a big ceremony is held.
He was worried that someone would make trouble during the big ceremony, which would be detrimental to him.
So I want to transfer myself back, strictly guard against him, and protect him...
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt extremely angry!
There was a sneer on his face.
That's too much!
All the things that had been neglected and meritorious done before were not done by me, but were all given to Liu Cheng and Liu Kede!
Now when you encounter difficulties, think of yourself!
I remembered that I was his adopted son!
Thinking of transferring myself back to Chang'an!
This old thief Dong Zhuo is really shameless!
When he saw the news in the transfer order that Liu Cheng's damn guy had taken over all of Hanzhong, Lu Bu's eyes turned red with jealousy.
I knew before that Yizhou was a beautiful place.
Liu Yan, who was guarding Yizhou, was just an incompetent person who was just trying to sell out the enemy!
After he passes by, he will be able to capture the entire Yizhou with overwhelming force just like Liu Cheng.
Then burn the Shu Road, and you can easily separate Yizhou and become the king!
You can also recruit a few obedient adopted sons and become your own adopted father.
I will no longer suffer from the cowardice of Dong Zhuo!
However, all this came to nothing because of Dong Zhuo's favoritism...
That night, Lu Bu didn't sleep all night.
He sat here thinking about many things.
Have you ever thought about tearing Dong Zhuo's orders to pieces, leading the troops east out of Tongguan, eating all the soldiers and horses left by Liu Cheng and his men in Mianchi, and then heading east to compete for territory with those in Guandong?
.
But such thoughts are still thoughts after all, and I cannot make up my mind.
In addition to feeling that the places to the east were far inferior to Yizhou, there was another important reason. More than half of his elite soldiers, as well as the two generals Cheng Lian and Gaoshun, were still fighting with Liu Cheng.
Far away in Yizhou.
If we leave at this time, we will abandon these two generals and a large number of elite soldiers.
He couldn't bear it.
I also thought about leading troops into Chang'an and killing Dong Zhuo.
I am king and hegemony here in Chang'an.
Become Grand Master Lu yourself.
Such thoughts arose, making Lu Bu's whole body excited.
I feel like doing this is very refreshing.
But it can only be imagined like this.
He doesn't dare to really do this
He was still a little afraid of the old thief Dong Zhuo...
He didn't really want to just go to Chang'an with his troops and horses according to Dong Zhuo's orders.
In addition to feeling angry, he was always a little uneasy.
Some are worried that this is a strategy set up by the old thief Dong Zhuo to lure him there and then do something to him...
After all, the identity and existence of this godfather have always been quite special...
Not only do daughters need to be careful, but the same goes for godsons...
Lu Bu sat there all night, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
But not a single decision was made.
I always feel that no matter what I do or what I choose, it’s not a good choice...
…
"Lord, what should we do?"
Wei Xu came to Lu Bu and asked.
Lu Bu was in a state of confusion.
Hearing this, he said: "Wait a little longer..."
Wei Xu said anxiously: "My lord, this is the time when we need to make a decision as soon as possible.
If the lord wants to leave Tongguan in the east, he should leave immediately to avoid others noticing.
If you cannot make this determination and still want to follow Xiangguo in the future, you need to mobilize your troops immediately and act in accordance with Dong Xiangguo's orders...
No matter what choice you make, you need to decide and act early. It will not help if you delay it like this.
It will only make things worse..."
Lu Bu said: "I understand."
Saying this, some dissatisfaction with Wei Xu arose in his heart.
I feel like this Wei Xu is getting more and more outrageous.
After I have done something by myself, I feel a little arrogant and talk to myself like this!
Don’t you know these truths?
Are you still using you, Wei Xu, to teach me?
Who are you, Wei Xu, looking down on?
Wei Xu, who only thought about Lu Bu, obviously did not expect that the lord he treated with all his heart would actually have such thoughts towards him because of his loyal advice.
Hearing this, he saluted Lu Bu and said, "It's good that my lord knows this. Please make a decision, otherwise, it will only make Dong Zhuo suspicious."
"I see."
Lu Bu nodded and answered like this again.
Wei Xu said a few more words to Lu Bu before leaving Lu Bu.
Seeing Wei Xu leaving him, Lu Bu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
This Wei Xu is so self-righteous!
As his own subordinate, he has to teach himself how to do things!
Does this mean that he is too stupid, or that Wei Xu is too smart?
Do you feel like you are not as good as him, Wei Xu?!
I, Lu Bu, walked out from the border and reached my current position step by step. It can be said that I have experienced many storms. What has I not experienced?
You Wei Xu just followed me step by step, but now you have to teach me how to do things!
This is so arrogant!
Wei Xu came here and gave some advice and told some truths, which immediately aroused a lot of dissatisfaction and anger in Lu Bu's heart.
If Wei Xu hadn't been the old man who followed him all the way, he would have made Wei Xu look good today!
Wei Xu left Lu Bu with worries and some relief in his heart.
Worryingly, ever since he accepted his lord's order and led his men to secretly burn the large amount of grain and grass stored in Duantun, Wei Xu always felt that something was not right.
It felt like there was a rope slowly approaching me and others.
It makes people want to suffocate.
But after thinking about it carefully, I think it is impossible.
What I did that time was indeed very secretive, and I made sure no one noticed it.
He felt that maybe he was too suspicious.
On the other hand, the worry comes from my own master.
It’s too easy to be hesitant about doing things.
The only thing that comforted him was that his master was still very good at talking to others.
I humbly accepted all my suggestions...
…
After Wei Xu left, Lu Bu lost his temper towards Wei Xu and began to take action.
He began to notify Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others, asking them to organize their troops.
As for whether he should be ordered to go to Chang'an, leave Tongguan and Dong Zhuo and go it alone, or do something else, he has not made a decision yet.
But no matter what, just let the soldiers and horses move first.
No matter what decision is made, troops and horses are required.
While letting his troops clean up, Lu Bu continued to think about things.
Can't decide...
After more than a day passed like this, another troop transfer document came from Dong Zhuo.
The troop deployment document stated that Dong Zhuo had been officially appointed as Grand Master by the imperial court, and that in half a month, a grand ceremony would be held in Chang'an.
At the same time, it was also said that there were people with evil intentions in Chang'an. On the day Dong Zhuo was appointed as Grand Master, Wang Qi, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, led the dead men to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
He urged Lu Bu to speed up the rectification of his troops and seize the time to lead his troops to Chang'an to protect Dong Zhuo.
To prevent any trouble from happening when the big ceremony is held.
Dong Zhuo specifically emphasized the importance he attached to this incident in the troop deployment document.
It must be done without fail!
Lu Bu looked at the newly sent troop deployment documents from Dong Zhuo and couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't expect that an old thief like you would be so anxious about this day!"
While laughing and scolding like this, Lu Bu was also sure that Dong Zhuo didn't have any unfavorable thoughts in sending him to Chang'an this time.
This guy is so anxious simply because Chang'an is not peaceful.
I just want to send myself back to deal with the great ceremony of him becoming a grand master, and ensure that there will be no trouble this time!
After looking at the newly arrived troop deployment documents for a while and confirming that everything was correct, Lu Bu made up his mind to lead his troops to Chang'an.
He summoned his generals again and showed them the new troop deployment documents from Dong Zhuo.
"Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while!"
Dong Xiangguo always treats me well, and we are his soldiers.
Now, Dong Xiangguo needs us, so we are obliged to use him!
I order Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, and Wei Xu to lead their respective headquarters and follow me from Tongguan tomorrow to Chang'an to guard the Prime Minister's country!"
Lu Bu looked at his generals and gave the order.
"Hou Cheng, Song Xian, you two will lead the troops and guard Tongguan!"
All the generals had no objections and accepted the order one after another.
They did not think there was anything wrong with the orders issued by Lu Bu and the orders issued by Dong Zhuo to mobilize troops.
Only Wei Xu frowned.
But he didn't say much and took the order aloud...
Tongguan looks relatively quiet at night.
There was no light in the room where Wei Xu lived.
"call!"
Suddenly, Wei Xu, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly stood up and sat up from the bed.
He didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran out of his residence and headed towards the place where Lu Bu lived, looking very anxious...
…
"Captain Wei is here for an extremely urgent matter?"
Lu Bu never slept well these days.
Today I have made a decision, put my worries aside, and can have a good sleep without any worries.
As a result, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by his bodyguard.
I couldn't help but feel a little breathless in my heart.
After hearing that it was Wei Xu who came, I felt even more angry.
No one else has so many things to do, only you, Wei Xu, have so many bad things!!
Lu Bu was so angry that he wanted to fall asleep and ignored Wei Xu.
But in the end, reason prevailed.
"Please come in Captain Wei!"
Lu Bu suppressed his displeasure and said this.
After a while, Wei Xu came in. After seeing Lu Bu, he hurriedly saluted Lu Bu.
Then he approached Lu Bu and lowered his voice eagerly: "My lord, you must not go to Chang'an!
It will be a disaster if you go!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was not surprised. Instead, he immediately felt angry in his chest.
This damn guy is here to teach me how to do things again!
Moreover, the day before yesterday, you came over and told yourself that no matter what, you need to make a decision early.
As a result, now that I have made the decision, you come over and say you can't do it.
Why is it all your business anyway?!
"Why is this?"
Lu Bu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said.
"Have you not noticed, my lord, that the soldiers and horses around your lord are being continuously stripped away?!
First, during the time of Mengjin, Zhang Wenyuan and Hao Meng came under the command of Uncle Liu Huang.
After the Battle of Mengjin, Hao led his troops back.
However, Zhang Wenyuan and his subordinates completely left their lord and joined Liu Cheng's command.
Uncle Liu Huang sent troops to attack Yizhou. Dong Xiangguo once again ordered to mobilize Lian and Gao Shun, together with a large number of elite troops, to leave Tongguan and follow Uncle Liu to fight in Yizhou.
At this point, the lord's troops have gone from three ditches to two ditches!
Now, Dong Xiangguo sent an order again, asking the lord to leave some troops and horses to guard Tongguan, and let the lord lead the rest to Chang'an.
Divide the troops again.
Tongguan is an important place, so there cannot be too few soldiers and horses left behind.
The Lord did the same thing.
Two generals, Hou Cheng and Song Xian, were left behind to garrison with eight thousand soldiers and horses.
And my lord, when you went to Chang'an, you only led five thousand soldiers!
Although the five thousand soldiers are relatively elite, they are still not many in number.
In addition, when Zhang Wenyuan left and led his elite men, as well as Cheng Lian and Gao Shun, when they went to Yizhou, they took away a large number of elite soldiers. Among the five thousand soldiers led by the lord, only those who can truly be regarded as elite are
It's not too many, less than a thousand people...
Uncle Liu's expedition to Yizhou took away a large number of troops, but Dong Xiangguo was not without other forces in Guanzhong.
Although Xu Rong's tribe, Dong Yue's tribe, and Niu Fu were scattered across the land of Guanzhong.
But it's not that far from Chang'an.
Moreover, there are soldiers and horses led by Dong Huang in Chang'an City.
Dong Zhuo himself also had some extremely elite Flying Bear Army elites...
Under such circumstances, if the lord really enters Chang'an, he will really be trapped to death!"
Wei Xu was here, constantly talking and sharing things with Lu Bu.
"There is a saying that there is no airtight wall, and my subordinates can ensure that no one discovers the burning of food in Duantun.
The lord can also guarantee that the task of "burning down the plank road for three hundred miles and creating a cave in the middle of Sichuan" was not discovered by others.
But there are too many people involved in these matters, and if one thing is not handled well, some clues will easily be revealed..."
Lu Bu was originally full of anger towards Wei Xu's arrival.
However, after listening to Wei Xu's analysis for a while, his thoughts began to change rapidly...
By the time Wei Xu finished what he said, Lu Bu's thoughts had already undergone an earth-shaking change.
He thought along Wei Xu's thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he felt that what Wei Xu said was indeed very reasonable.
The key is that Wei Xu's words are all based on what really happened!
In addition, he had done something wrong and had doubts about Dong Zhuo's recruitment to Chang'an.
Therefore, after some discussions with Wei Xu, I have become convinced of Wei Xu's words.
I identified Dong Zhuo this time and transferred him to Chang'an just to deal with him and get rid of him!
"I never expected that old thief Dong Zhuo would have such sinister thoughts!"
Lu Bu couldn't help but cursed angrily.
"If I hadn't helped him kill Ding Yuan and helped him fight in Luoyang, how could he have grasped the situation in Luoyang so quickly?
Can Xiangguo do this?
What can the current Grand Master do?
Now, you have completely forgotten my kindness and want to poison me like this!
He is truly a ruthless person!"
When Wei Xu heard this, he put his hand on his forehead and immediately said: "My lord, now is not the time to scold Dong Zhuo, but to think about what to do next.
A decision needs to be made as soon as possible.
Otherwise, things will change if it’s too late!”
Lu Bu said: "Dong Zhuo has gone too far to bully others! He is so ungrateful that I can't help but feel sorry for him!"
What’s more, that damned thief is still alive and well. I want to lead my troops to attack Chang’an and kill the old thief Dong Zhuo!
Grab Dong Bai and Cai Yan to be my concubines!
Only in this way can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"
When Wei Xu heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
He paused and said aloud: "My lord, do you think your lord can succeed?"
Lu Bu was immediately discouraged.
"According to your analysis, Dong Zhuo's traitor has already planned to get rid of me. At this time, Guanzhong may have deployed many troops.
Although I am brave, I don’t have all the soldiers under my command. I’m afraid…”
Wei Xu heard this and added: "There are still some soldiers and horses of Uncle Liu Huang in Mianchi to the east.
When the time comes to move westward and block Tongguan, it will be difficult for us to leave Tongguan."
"What can I do now?"
Before, Lu Bu was particularly disgusted with Wei Xu for giving him advice, but now he took the initiative to ask Wei Xu what to do next...
Wei Xudao said: "My subordinates feel that the lord should lead his troops immediately and take the opportunity to go eastward.
Stay away from Dong Zhuo.
Whether it is to join Yuan Shao and others in the east, or to directly conquer a place of his own, for the Lord, it is better than running to Guanzhong..."
After hearing this, Lu Bu thought for a while, then Yang Tian sighed and said: "Now, this is the only way it can be!
Unexpectedly, I, Lu Bu, was so loyal to Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo actually treated me like this!
Today’s revenge will be repaid tenfold in the future!”
Lu Bu was so angry.
After saying these words, he will summon the other close generals overnight to inform them of this decision...
It was at this time that the personal guards guarding outside the room came to report to Lu Bu again, saying that an old friend from Chang'an was visiting.
When Lu Bu heard this, he looked at Wei Xu.
Stop what you are about to do for a moment.
"Let it in."
Lu Bu ordered.
After a while, the guards led a person in.
When the man came in, he saluted Lü Bu and praised him: "Greetings to Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu looked at him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was or where he had seen him.
"The villain is a member of Duke Situ's residence. When Marquis Wen went to Duke Situ's residence, the villain even led a horse with Marquis Wen."
The man explained.
Hearing this man say this, Lu Bu suddenly thought about it.
"It turns out to be you!
Why did you come here late at night?"
This man saluted Lu Bu and said, "On the order of Duke Situ, I came here to send a letter to Marquis Wen."
Wang Yun's confidant said, taking out a carefully collected letter from his arms, holding it with both hands, and gave it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu reached out and took it.
After looking at the seal, open it.
He didn't avoid people and just started watching here.
After just a few glances, there was a smile on Lu Bu's face.
The more you look at it, the stronger the smile becomes on your face.
But after looking at it for a while, the smile on his face disappeared again...
These changes made Wei Xu, who was standing aside, feel very curious.
I really want to know what was written in the letter sent by Wang Yun, which actually caused such a big change for my lord.
"Come and see."
After a while, Lu Bu gave the letter to Wei Xu.
Wei Xu was not polite. After taking it, he started to look at it...
…
"It's been a hard journey for you, so go and rest first!"
Lu Bu said this to Wang Yun's confidant.
Then, call the bodyguard and ask the bodyguard to take the person to rest.
This man bowed his hands to Lu Bu and Wei Xu, then followed Lu Bu's personal guards down...
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Wei Xu asked Lu Bu.
Lu Bu said: "Situ Gong made it clear in his letter just now.
Wang Qi, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, arranged the assassination of the old thief Dong Zhuo. The purpose was to make the old thief Dong Zhuo feel uneasy so that he could transfer me to Chang'an to facilitate my future operations.
Use this to plan Dong Zhuo.
It seems that the worries you and I had before were somewhat unnecessary.
Dong Zhuo has no intention of mobilizing troops to eradicate me while I enter Chang'an..."
Wei Xu heard this and said again: "Then what will my lord do next?
Do you really accept Wang Yun's invitation, enter Chang'an, and join forces with Wang Yun to plot to kill Dong Zhuo?"
