Lu Bu was sitting on the main seat, with a very solemn expression on his face. Below, there were also civil servants and generals such as Li Su, Hua Xiong, Jia Xu, etc. sitting, all with solemn expressions on their faces.
At this moment, Lu Bu's face was still a little pale, and his body had not yet recovered.
He looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "You have already seen Wang Can's strength. Now let's talk about how to deal with Wang Can's offensive. Military Advisor Jia, you are a counselor sent by your adoptive father. What do you say?"
After hearing this, Jia Xu had a troubled look on his face.
Although Jia Xu is extremely talented, he has no solution to the current situation. Especially Jia Xu himself, he is not someone who likes to be in the limelight.
With decades of experience, he hopes to live a good life.
This is the most important.
After Jia Xu thought for a while, he said seriously: "Marquis Wen, everyone knows Wang Can's strength. Especially in today's battle, everyone has seen the horror of this battle. Wang Can can do it by himself."
Massacre our army. In my opinion, the current situation requires us to withdraw immediately. At the same time, we quickly sent a message to the Prime Minister in Luoyang, asking him to make a decision."
Hua Xiong said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Especially Wen Hou's martial arts, in front of Wang Can, it was completely crushed. I even doubt that when Wang Can and Wen Hou fought,
, all kept their hands."
Lu Bu said: "Judging from the last scene of Wang Can slaughtering the soldiers, Wang Can did hold back. If Wang Can slaughtered the soldiers according to his strength, I would not be able to sustain it for such a long time."
Hua Xiong said: "Marquis Wen, I also suggest withdrawing our troops!"
"Then retreat!"
Lu Bu is not an indecisive person.
Although Lu Bu was unwilling to retreat due to his unwillingness to admit defeat, under the current situation, if he did not retreat, he would be waiting for death. Once Wang Can came to kill, Hulao Pass would definitely be breached.
By then, everyone will die.
Under this premise, Lu Bu's modest dignity that he was unwilling to retreat was nothing.
After Lu Bu made his decision, Jia Xu understood and made arrangements.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, all the troops in Hulao Pass had gathered. Then, the army began to evacuate quickly. There were no more soldiers in the entire Hulao Pass.
The news of the withdrawal of troops from Hulao Pass was reported quietly.
Wang Can didn't get any news at all.
As a result, when Wang Can led the coalition forces to approach Hulao Pass early the next morning, after shouting for a while, there was no movement on the tower. The coalition soldiers climbed up directly and opened the door of Hulao Pass.
Army.
When Wang Can saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.
It’s done!
After capturing Hulao Pass, the eastern passage into Luoyang was opened.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others kept flattering each other, and everyone thought that this was Wang Can's contribution. In fact, both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had conflicts with Wang Can. Even if Wang Can did not pursue it, the two of them were still worried, so one
He tried to fawn over Wang Can.
This journey has been smooth for Wang Can.
When Wang Can was marching to Luoyang, the letter sent by Lu Bu first arrived in Luoyang and reached Li Ru's hands.
Li Ru was in his early thirties and was born very elegant.
It's just that his eyes were narrow and small, giving people a sinister feeling. After reading the letter he sent back, his heart sank, and he hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion and saw Dong Zhuo, he quickly said: "Prime Minister, the situation is not good. Hulao Pass has been lost, Lu Bu has withdrawn his troops, and the allied forces of the princes are coming to Luoyang to kill."
After speaking, he handed over the returned letter.
After Dong Zhuo read it, he threw away the letter and said in a deep voice: "How is this possible? How is it possible for Xuzhou Shepherd Wang Can to fight against 30,000 to 40,000 elites with one person and kill countless others? Even if Lu Bu is brave,
But it can't achieve this effect. If more than a thousand people are besieging Lu Bu, he will definitely die. What's more, it is ten thousand people or tens of thousands of people who are besieging him, but he is still defeated."
"This is what I find weird!"
Li Ru frowned and said: "To resist an army of tens of thousands of people by oneself. This situation is really shocking, even more surprising, and even unbelievable. But this letter
, it’s not Lu Bu’s notes, it’s Jia Xu’s. The Prime Minister should know that Jia Xu is always very cautious.”
Dong Zhuo said: "Wen You, do you think this news is true or false?"
Wenyou is Li Ru's pseudonym.
Li Ru did not give an answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said: "My lord, based on the consideration of my humble position, I am afraid that the news is true, otherwise Jia Xu would not have sent a letter. This letter stated that Lu Bu was completely betrayed by Wang Can.
Suppression is absolutely no match for him. It is indeed possible for such a person."
Dong Zhuo stood up hurriedly and said: "You believe in Jia Xu, so you believe in the news sent back. But think about it for yourself, what is the concept of resisting thirty or forty thousand people with your own strength?"
Li Ru also smiled sarcastically.
If we follow normal common sense, this should be impossible.
As soon as the conversation changed, Li Ru said: "Based on the current situation, Wang Can's strength can be temporarily put aside based on his humble position. After all, Lu Bu and Jia Xu are already on the way back. When the time comes, just ask any soldier in the army to ask
, we can know the news. Prime Minister, what we have to do now is to be prepared. What if, what if Wang Can is really so powerful?"
At this moment, Dong Zhuo also frowned.
yes!
What if Wang Can is really that powerful?
When the time comes, he won't be able to resist it at all, so he must be prepared first.
Dong Zhuo asked: "What's Wen You's plan?"
Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, the current situation, in my opinion, it is better to choose to move the capital. Anyway, there is no place to garrison in Luoyang, and Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty. Countless high-ranking officials and nobles have always gathered here. This is
As a result, they are deeply rooted in Luoyang."
After a pause, Li Ru said again: "As long as we leave Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, a brand new place is also close to Xiliang, and we will be able to control it more easily. The most important thing is that we can also do something about Wang Can.
A response. Once it is really unstoppable, we will evacuate directly."
Dong Zhuo stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Yes, that's the truth!"
Immediately, Dong Zhuo directly authorized Li Ru to arrange the matter. However, although Li Ru continued to make arrangements for the capital move, he did not notify anyone to leave, but made all arrangements for the army.
This is the most critical.
As long as you have military power in hand, everything can be taken.
As time passed day by day, only five days passed. On this day, the army led by Lu Bu and Jia Xu had withdrawn outside Luoyang City, and then went straight into the city and stationed themselves in the military camp inside the city.
As soon as Lu Bu arrived, Li Ru came to the army and went straight to Jia Xu.
Li Ru and Jia Xu are old acquaintances.
Both of them are from Xiliang.
And they all knew each other very well, especially Li Ru, who knew Jia Xu's talent, so he tried his best to keep Jia Xu by Dong Zhuo's side, hoping that Jia Xu would serve Dong Zhuo.
Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Wen He and Wang Can's situation, are they true?"
Jia Xu said: "I have explained it very clearly in my letter. Wenyou, I can tell you clearly that even in my letter, I underestimated Wang Can. The real Wang Can's strength may be far, far worse."
It's far stronger than what I described. Neither you nor I can afford to offend Wang Can like this. In fact, the prime minister's position may no longer be guaranteed. Wang Can's appearance has changed the fighting of the army."
"He alone is an army."
"And it's an invincible army."
"That's what's scary, that's what's shocking."
Jia Xu said: "So I suggest you report it to the Prime Minister immediately so that the Prime Minister can make plans early."
Li Ru frowned.
He believed Jia Xu's words, so he didn't say anything more, so he stood up and left. Then he randomly looked for some people in the military camp and asked about Wang Can's situation.
When he asked about Wang Can's news, they were all shocked.
Each and every soldier has lingering fears.
Every soldier was shocked.
Even at the mention of Wang Can's name, the soldiers had panic and fear on their faces.
Upon seeing this situation, Li Ru knew that the morale of the soldiers in the army had been completely destroyed. As long as Wang Can was there, it would be impossible for this army to win the battle.
Li Ru finally came to Lu Bu's camp, saw Lu Bu, and said, "Marquis Wen, what do you think of Wang Can's strength?"
Lu Bu sighed and said: "The difference between clouds and mud. In the past, I thought that all the generals in the world were just chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning. But now, I feel the same in front of Wang Can. Even, I even
They can’t even be considered as chickens or dogs, they can only be considered as newborn babies. Wang Can can kill me without even using a finger.”
This is the result Lu Bu came up with during this period.
According to Wang Can when he fought with him, although his strength was strong, it did not exceed him by much. But later, when Lu Bu carefully considered Wang Can's one-man power to fight against the army, he saw Wang Can's domineering and powerful.
There are so many differences between him and Wang Can.
When Li Ru heard Lu Bu's words, his eyebrows furrowed even more deeply, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn. He immediately took Lu Bu, Li Su, Hua Xiong and Jia Xu with him to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone sat down in the hall. After waiting for a short time, Dong Zhuo arrived.
Dong Zhuoyan has a tiger's chin and beard, and his clothes are extraordinary.
He looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Wenyou, what was the result of your visit?"
Li Ru said dejectedly: "Prime Minister, judging from everyone's description of Wang Can, Wang Can is already an inhuman existence. The army cannot play any role in front of him. We must contend.
, and there is no other way.”
After a pause, Li Ru continued: "To a certain extent, Wang Can possesses the power of ghosts and gods. Wang Can can use his own strength to overturn the situation controlled by our Xiliang Army by himself." (To be completed.)
