As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, some officials who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but look happy.
The terrain of Chenggao is extremely dangerous. Ever since Lu Bu returned from Hulao Pass a few days ago, the layout there has become much worse than before, and there are no visible generals in charge.
If it is captured by the coalition of princes, the city of Luoyang will be wide open.
Li Ru glanced at Gai Xun and other loyal Han officials, and then smiled lightly and said, "Mr. En, Mr. Wen He made some calculations yesterday and said that there was something wrong with the Chenggao direction. So I secretly arranged for Zhonglang General Xu Rong
, left the city urgently and led troops to assist. The official originally thought it was just a casual move, but he was afraid that it would not work out and cause trouble, so he did not report it to the prime minister."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo's worries turned into joy and he laughed and said, "I feel more relieved when Xu Rong is there."
Li Ru also gave Gai Xun a conceited look.
Gai Xun was very angry and immediately sneered, "Although Xu Rong won, he didn't get any relief."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he ignored Gai Xun's attitude and immediately asked, "Xu Rong is successful in Gao Tianjian, so what ability does Cao Cao have to make him suffer?"
Chenggao and Guangwu areas were the scene of fierce battles during the Chu-Han War. Although there are no decent mountains there, the terrain is rugged and there are many hills.
Cao Cao had almost no other good choice except confronting Hulao Pass head-on.
Hearing this, Gai Xun glanced at Yu Xian and said loudly, "Cao Cao has a mountain-moving Taoist under his command. He has superb Taoist skills and powerful magic. Among the mountains in Chenggao, he moved the mountains and ravines for Cao Cao and opened them up.
There is a thoroughfare of one foot!"
Everyone in the palace was shocked when they heard this.
"Taoist who moves mountains?!"
"What an incredible skill is this? Would you rather move mountains and rivers?!"
Some people who knew the military affairs almost lost their voices and said, "The Chenggao Tianzhan has been opened up to a foot of thoroughfare! What should we do?"
The Xiliang generals changed their colors in shock!
If this is the case, how can Luoyang City be defended?
If there is no geographical advantage, even if the Xiliang soldiers are powerful, how can they defeat the endless stream of Kwantung Allied Forces?
Dong Zhuo even shouted angrily, "What about Chenggao Tianxian now? Has Xu Rong caught the Taoist who moved the mountains?!"
Gai Xun didn't bother to talk about the subsequent things that enhanced the opponent's prestige.
He said calmly, "Today's report is clearly written. The Prime Minister can just check it himself."
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru.
Li Ru quickly rummaged through the reports in front of Dong Zhuo and finally found the secret report from the army.
He looked at it for a while, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his face.
Dong Zhuo was impatient and asked urgently, "How?"
Li Ru put the report aside, raised his head, and took a deep breath, "The one-foot smooth road to Chenggao Tianduan only lasted a few hours. After Cao Cao was defeated, he fled in a hurry through that road. General Xu Zhonglang
When chasing, the mountains and ravines began to close up. Xu Zhonglang was almost injured, but Cao Cao was not careful and his horses were crushed into a pulp by the closing mountains. If his younger brother Cao Hong hadn't fought to save him, he would have been able to get rid of him.
This is a disaster!"
Dong Zhuo heard this and groaned, "What a shame! I didn't kill Cao Ah Ma that day, but today he has become a disaster!"
Then Dong Zhuo asked, "Has the mountain-moving Taoist been caught?"
Li Ru shook his head regretfully, "That Taoist escaped so quickly that General Xu Zhonglang had nothing to do."
Dong Zhuo's face turned gloomy, "Huh, if Xu Rong hadn't gone there in time, I'm afraid the thieves from Guandong would have arrived at Luoyang City by now. If Taoist Banshan doesn't leave for a day, he won't be able to sleep or eat well!"
As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, all the generals of the Xiliang Army were silent.
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. If they don't catch the Taoist who moved the mountains, I'm afraid none of them will be able to sleep well.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo and many Xiliang soldiers and civilians became more determined to abandon Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was frustrated and the generals were frightened, Gai Xun said slowly, "Mr. Lang was reading the military time report. Did he miss something?"
Li Ru's face changed slightly and he said calmly, "You don't need to remind me."
Gai Xun laughed and said, "Let's talk about it."
As he spoke, Gai Xun glanced at Yu Xian, who looked fascinated, "This mountain-moving Taoist is also from Heming Mountain!"
Yu Xian was stunned after hearing this.
Damn it!
He was imagining the Taoist mountain mover's graceful demeanor in clearing a smooth path in the chaotic mountains and streams, but he did not expect that the fire would actually burn on his head.
etc.
Taoist who moves mountains, Taoist who moves mountains...
Yu Xian seems really familiar.
Then he suddenly thought of something. When Zhongxuanzi was selecting Taoists, he seemed to have actually mentioned this sentence.
It is said that Taoist Banshan betrayed his master and had to choose someone to take care of his free cave.
Yu Xian stayed in the gourd for so long that he almost forgot about it.
Seeing that Yu Xian seemed to have remembered something, Gai Xun asked reluctantly, "What? What did Taoist Yu think of? That Taoist Banshan is also from Heming Mountain?"
This is something that cannot be concealed.
Yu Xian had no choice but to say, "Taoist Banshan is indeed from Heming Mountain, but... this person has already betrayed his master."
Gai Xun laughed and said with a teasing expression, "You can't just betray Taoist Master Yu just because he said he betrayed the master, right? Now you also say that you represent Heming Mountain, and he also says that he represents Heming Mountain. Now you two let us
These people find it difficult to adapt. What does Heming Mountain mean? Is it to help Dong Xiangguo? Or is destiny in the hands of those Kanto... rebels?"
Yu Xian was speechless.
This thing is really painful.
The young master just wanted to be a mascot and have fun, but who would have thought that he would end up facing off against a senior who had defected from his sect.
Hearing this, Li Ru shouted, "Taoist Master Yu had just suggested that the imperial court move the capital, and thieves broke through the Chenggao Tianbao. Do you have to guess where God's will is? Since Taoist Banshan is an abandoned disciple of Heming Mountain, it doesn't matter.
Fantastic."
After Gai Xun heard this, he immediately retorted, "In that case, why not let Master Yu go out and capture Taoist Banshan. In this way, it will be easy to tell whether it is true or false. Wait until Master Yu comes to capture him."
Taoist Banshan, if the court talks about moving the capital at that time, I, Gai Xun, will never say a word about it."
After hearing Gai Xun's words, Li Ru's face turned gloomy.
What Gai Xun said was reasonable and reasonable. Not to mention those ministers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, even many Xiliang generals should join forces!
To them, this matter doesn't matter.
Which Taoist priest is real from Heming Mountain and which Taoist priest is fake has anything to do with them. But if the Taoist from Banshan is not eliminated, they will not feel safe in Luoyang City.
Although this Yu Xian is young, he still looks a bit magnanimous.
Even if you can't defeat the mountain-moving Taoist, it would still be good if you can inflict heavy damage on him.
Seeing that the situation below was unmanageable, Li Ru had no choice but to ask Yu Xian, "What does the Taoist think?"
