As Li Ru appeared, a large number of soldiers also came out of the shadows.
First there were densely packed crossbowmen, and then there were many soldiers holding large spears. Then gradually came the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
Although the cavalry did not emerge from the darkness, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had many years of combat experience and was well aware of the opponent's existence.
Seeing the eliteness of this unit, the entire Bingzhou army became frightened.
Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu with an ugly face, "Presumably these are Huangfu Song's elite soldiers."
The 30,000 elite soldiers in Huangfu Song's hands were originally used to guard against the Qiang people.
The Qiang rebellion has always been a major scourge in the late Han Dynasty. They had a large number of war horses that could come and go like the wind in battle.
The Huangfu Song tribe's troops and horses that defended the Qiang soldiers mainly used crossbows and spears. In addition, in order to cope with the high mobility of the Qiang soldiers, this team also recruited a lot of Karasuma cavalry from Youzhou.
In terms of overall strength, the reputation of elite soldiers is by no means a wasted one.
Lu Bu's face was full of disbelief after hearing this.
"Even if Huangfu Song lets go of his military power, he won't be taken over by the Xiliang soldiers so quickly. After less than a month of integration, these soldiers will not be so obedient."
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and then said slowly, "80% of the time, I was wrong. That Huangfu Song's figure is really soft."
Lu Bu also felt that this was the only explanation.
Only with the help of Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo could successfully take over those elite soldiers.
And these elite soldiers have become the key to controlling this chaos.
Gao Shun, who had been silent all this time, asked an unrelated question very seriously, "The troops defending the Qiang soldiers have been transferred away. What should the Qiang people do if they take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to rob them?"
Zhang Liao replied, "It doesn't matter. The Xiliang soldiers' home base is in the northwest, and they shouldn't just sit back and watch."
Lu Bu turned around and told Cheng Lian, "Go around and see how many people are coming. Go there yourself."
Cheng Lian left quickly after hearing this.
Seeing that the generals were a little nervous, Zhang Liao took the initiative to comfort him, "You don't have to be like this. Thanks to Governor Gao's guidance, we are very confident now."
Speaking of which, the last person to be afraid of here is Zhang Liao.
If he really rebelled as he said, the Bingzhou soldiers might have been shot into a hedgehog by Li Ru, who had already ambushed them, just as they were about to take action.
Lu Bu felt happy after hearing this. He walked forward and shouted loudly, "Mr. Zhongling, what do you mean by this?!"
Li Ru smiled faintly after hearing this, and held his hand to Lu Bu from a distance, "I originally planned to come to support Wen Hou, but I didn't expect that Wen Hou's side was calm."
Only if Lu Bu believed him did he become a ghost.
However, both of them were smart enough not to expand on this topic. Lu Bu asked angrily, "If that's the case, why did you still kidnap and kill the messenger I sent?"
Li Ru had obviously read the found letters.
The expression on his face remained unchanged, but he smiled a little more.
"It's my fault. I thought he was a deserter in the general's camp. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and the reckless guy has been punished as he deserves. How about letting this matter go?"
You want to expose it with just a few words?
Do you still want me to meet you?
Lu Bu was furious. Just as he was about to get angry, Zhang Liao said loudly, "Mr. Commander, please read the letter carefully."
"oh?"
Li Julius was a little surprised. He opened the letter and read it again.
I didn't see anything special.
After Li Ru finished reading, he looked at Zhang Liao and waited for his explanation.
Zhang Lioce immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Mr. Zhongling, you must also know about the chaos in the palace. When the news came, my lord immediately gathered his troops and horses, and then quickly asked the prime minister for the next order. You should read
Come out, this letter is written to you by my lord!"
Zhang Liao specially emphasized the word "you".
"Huh?"
Then Li Ru opened the letter and read it again. Between the lines, it was clear that he was making up his mind.
The meaning here.
Li Ru's eyes flickered.
Then he jumped off the horse and walked forward with a smile, "Marquis Wen, why should you be angry? I have never known military matters, so my actions are inevitably reckless. Li will apologize to Marquis Wen now."
As he said this, he gestured to give up his hand.
Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu suddenly understood. He quickly jumped off his horse and laughed loudly, "It's all small things, small things!"
As he said that, he helped Li Ru up with both hands.
The two of them had a fair talk, and Lu Bu quickly asked about the thing he was most concerned about.
"There are rumors everywhere now that there is something wrong with the Prime Minister. I wonder if it is true? The city is in such chaos now. What should we do? I need the help of Lang Zhongling to come up with an idea."
When Li Ru heard this, a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
"What do you have to worry about those bunch of chickens and dogs? If they can suddenly rebel and attack the North Palace, we may have no way to survive now. But some people always like to play some tricks, and they dare to do such confidential things
Trying to get a wife."
It is difficult for women to keep secrets. This truth was written into the "Zuo Zhuan" by our ancestors two thousand and hundreds of years ago.
This is the earliest chronicle of Chinese civilization.
Lu Bu was a little confused when he heard this, "Meeting a woman?"
Perhaps Lu Bu's previous deliberate show of kindness had an effect, and Li Ru also wanted to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
He whispered to Lu Bu, "Originally, Xiangguo and I thought that Luoyang City would not cause much trouble, so we mainly focused on the movements of soldiers and horses everywhere. Who knew that those thieves had already assembled
We have a lot of troops. But when the incident happened, for some reason, without waiting for the ambush, he actually sent someone to secretly contact Princess Yangdi."
"Princess Yangzhai?"
Lu Bu was shocked, this is a disaster!
After the eldest princess of Yangzhai was occupied by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo became extremely obsessed with her, almost to the point of being inseparable from her.
If this person were to act as an internal agent, the Xiliang soldiers would definitely suffer heavy losses.
But looking at the old god Li Ru's presence, it was clear that this chess piece had no effect at all.
Lu Bu asked, "Have you seen through her?"
Li Ru smiled sinisterly, "How is it possible? After Princess Yangzhai saw the ambush, she confessed all this to the Prime Minister not long after she returned. In this case, we should simply remove all these sores."
Lu Bu was greatly surprised when he heard this.
The eldest princess of Yangzhai is the emperor's aunt, how could she betray Fu Wan?
However, Hou Fuwan, as a court servant, was originally just an ordinary nobleman.
When the emperor of the Han Dynasty was in disgrace, no one cared about such relatives and nobles who had no real power.
Who would have thought that it would be such a person who could unite the forces of the Han Dynasty in their last stand.
What made Lu Bu even more unexpected was that after Fu finished his desperate fight for the Han Dynasty, it was Princess Yangdi who ruined his life.
