The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 526 Centrifugal
In late May, Cao Cao led his army to conquer the Yuanyuan Pass with lightning speed, captured the guard Hu Gan alive, and asked for help from Hulao Pass in the name of Hu Gan, luring Xu Rong to lead his troops to rescue him.

On the way to rescue, Xu Rong was ambushed by Cao Cao and lost most of his troops.At the same time, Yuan Shao spread rumors that Xu Rong abandoned the pass and fled, which caused confusion among the guards at Hulao Pass, so he took the opportunity to conquer Hulao with all his might.

Xu Rongrong learned that the tiger prison was broken, so he had no choice but to return to Luoyang and plead guilty to Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took advantage of the victory and gathered in the field fifty miles west of Luoyang, preparing to attack Luoyang together.

Luoyang City, Taishi Mansion.

Xu Rong, who fled back to Luoyang, knelt down in the mansion hall and said that he had been tricked by the bandits, causing the two gates of Hulao and Yuanyuan to be broken, and asked Dong Zhuo to punish him.

The fall of Hulao and Yuanyuan means that the two barriers to the east of Luoyang are gone, and it also means that the princes of the world can send troops directly to the city of Luoyang.

In the past, I could rely on the danger of the Hulao Pass and sit back and relax, but now...it's troublesome.

Dong Zhuo's face was dark, and anyone could feel the suppressed anger in him.

People like Li Jue and Guo Si, because they were different from Xu Rong's faction and envious of his meritorious deeds, they often crowded out and slandered Dong Zhuo in private.Now that Hulao was lost, they took this opportunity to suppress Xu Rong severely. After hearing a lot, Dong Zhuo believed it a little bit.

Before Xu Rong got up, Dong Zhuo asked Ji Yu's confidant, "Li Ru, what's your strategy?"

"My lord, the only plan now is to abandon Luoyang and attack Hanoi from the north while Mengjinguan is still in hand. If you don't want Luoyang to fall into the hands of Yuan and Cao, you can set fire to the city and burn it before you evacuate. "

Li Ru made a poisonous plan, and he did not agree to stick to Luoyang from the beginning.Luoyang is located in the place of the Fourth World War. Now that the three barriers in the east, west and south have been lost, staying here will only cause endless troubles.

However, in the face of Li Ru's offer of time, the generals in Luoyang City were obviously quite reluctant. There is money, power and women here, and there is no better place in the world than here.

Dong Zhuo also hesitated, he hated Luoyang City from the bottom of his heart, he was used to the sensuality and luxury here, and he no longer thought about the life of wandering and fleeing when everyone shouted and beat him.

What's more, his granddaughter is still young, and my mother can't stand the speed and bumps in the car.

"Grand Master, the final general does not agree with the opinion of the military division."

When no one spoke, Guo Si stood up.Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't make a decision right away, he guessed that Dong Zhuo didn't want to follow Li Ru's suggestion.In fact, he didn't want to leave Luoyang and give up such a wonderful time to enjoy.

Li Ru was about to speak, but Guo Si said first: "Military division, don't deny it in a hurry, and listen to the humble officer speak slowly."

Li Ru glanced at Guo Si and sneered in his heart, don't I know what you think?
Seeing that Li Ru didn't say a word, Guo Si started his speech.

"Since returning from Hulao Pass last year, under the Taishi's wise decision, the city wall of Luoyang has been raised by nearly two feet. It is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is one of them."

"Secondly, there are countless elite soldiers under the Grand Master's command, plus Niu Fu Zhonglang General of Mengjinguan, there are [-] people, and even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao join forces, the combined force is only [-], which is not a concern."

"Thirdly, there is a large amount of grain stored in Luoyang City, which is enough for our army to spend for ten years. Even if we fight a war of attrition, it can wear down the enemy army."

"Thus, looking at all the above, our army will surely win! If we choose to withdraw at this time, others will think that we are scared and scared, and we will be ridiculed by the world!"

Guo Si spoke excitedly, and all the generals in the hall nodded after listening to it. They felt that what Guo Si said was reasonable, and asked Dong Zhuo to stay in Luoyang and fight Yuan and Cao to the death.

Only Li Ru showed disdain, and gave eight words as a comment: short-sighted, children's opinion.

"My lord, you must not listen to Guo Bang's words. You should act earlier to get out of Luoyang."

After finishing speaking, Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo again, and said earnestly: "If you don't stop, you will suffer from it, my lord!"

After Dong Zhuo listened to Guo Si's opinion, he couldn't listen to Li Ru's painstaking advice, and waved his hand: "Last year, more than a dozen princes couldn't beat this grand master. Could it be that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can win?" Win me? It's a joke!"

"Pass down the order and actively prepare for the battle. As long as these two children dare to come to Luoyang, they will be smashed to pieces!" Dong Zhuo ordered loudly.

All the generals in the hall clasped their fists and responded in unison: "Follow the order of the Grand Master!"

Li Ru, who had been rejected by Dong Zhuo, was full of disappointment and anger surged up for a moment. He pointed at the generals and cried out sadly: "If you don't listen to my advice today, you will die at the hands of Yuan and Cao in the future. Wait, wait, Go back and wait for the neck to be slaughtered!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals glared at him, and Dong Zhuo cursed on the spot: "Li Ru, what crazy words are you talking about here! Go back and reflect on yourself for three days."

Li Ru was stunned and stood there in a daze.He never expected that this heroic lord who had obeyed him in the past would scold him angrily in public.

That desolate feeling is more uncomfortable than a knife piercing the heart.

"Yes, yes, I'm crazy, I'm crazy! Hahaha...hahahaha..."

Li Ru laughed maniacally and left, full of laughter full of indescribable sadness.

…………

Soon, the news of Yuan and Cao's breakthrough spread all over the world. When the princes heard about it, apart from a little surprise, they were more shocked.

Thinking back to last year, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses joined forces to fight against Dong, and the whole journey was overwhelming, but in the end they could only hate Hulaoguan.

How unwilling!

Now, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, with only two armies and thirty to forty thousand soldiers, managed to break through the two passes of Hulao and Yuanyuan, and went straight to Luoyang.

But even so, the princes from all over the country still speculate on each other and have no intention of sending troops.

The emperor is not in Luoyang, even if he sends troops to defeat Dong Zhuo, it will not gain much. It is better to recharge your energy and increase your own strength, so as to gain more weight for future intrigues.

When the news spread to Guanzhong, all the officials of the emperor living in Chang'an were overjoyed, so Gao Shun, who was stationed at Hangu Pass, immediately led his troops eastward, and joined forces with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others to defeat Dong Zhuo.

When Xi Ce learned about this, he sent a letter to Gao Shun, asking him to say he was sick.

Guo Jia was very puzzled, Dong Zhuo lived in poverty in Luoyang, he was already a grasshopper after autumn, he could only jump around for a few days.Why not take advantage of this great opportunity to send troops to destroy him.

Xi Ce shook his head slightly at this, he was almost familiar with Lu Bu's temper, and said with a smile: "The general just set off from Hanzhong, Dong Zhuo has treated him well in the past, he will not make trouble at this juncture. Even if he is really going to die Dong Zhuo is also the general who leads the troops himself, and it's not my turn to do it for Yuezu."
