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

Chapter 531 At the beginning, I would like to go there

Sure enough, not a few days after Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, the imperial court ordered him to lead his army east out of Hangu to conquer Dong Zhuo.

The euphemistic name is: Yang General's Tiger Might.

When Lu Bu took the edict, he knew very well that it was not so much the meaning of the emperor, but rather the instigation of those old guys behind the scenes.

Anyway, there must be a battle between him and Dong Zhuo, it's just a matter of time.

Now there are no worries on the three sides of Hanzhong. In the north, Bingzhou has Yan Xin as the state shepherd, and in the rear, Xiliang has Gai Xun in charge. Hanzhong in the south has been pacified.As for Yizhou, which is further south, it is estimated that Liu Yan will not dare to act rashly in a short time.

In late August, Lü Bu led [-] soldiers out of Hangu Pass and marched towards Luoyang.

As soon as this news came out, everyone in the world applauded and rushed to tell each other that Dong Zhuo's life was not long.

However, after Lu Bu's army arrived in Gucheng, they stagnated and did not make any new moves for a long time.

Yuan Shao sent people to visit Lu Bu, trying to persuade him to attack Luoyang together and kill Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu was not interested in forming an alliance, so he asked the envoy to go back and tell Yuan Shao: "If he can't attack Luoyang, let me come."

The envoy went back and told the truth, and Yuan Shao was so angry that he scolded Lu Bu: "You don't know good and bad!"

Yuan Shao was angry for a reason, he was born in the Yuan family of four generations and three princes, but everyone in the world has to sell himself a little bit, this Lu Bu simply doesn't know what is good and what is wrong.

"Why get angry with him in the first place, Lu Bu just wants to see us laugh." Cao Cao was calm, sitting in his seat as if he had a plan in mind.

"You can bear this breath, but I can't bear it!"

Yuan Shao looked angry, and pointed to the outside of the tent: "If he hadn't stopped us at Hulao Pass, maybe we would have broken through Hulao Pass and killed Dong thief last year, so why would we have waited until today!"

"He said that I can't take Luoyang, so I want to show him! Tomorrow I will send troops to attack the city, and I will definitely take Luoyang!" Yuan Shao said loudly. If Lu Bu were to take Luoyang, he would spend more than two days under the city. Moon, isn't the sweat flowing in vain?
After more than two months, the morale of the Luoyang defenders was low, and they had no fighting spirit. They were only short of the final fatal blow.

"My lord, please think twice."

Ju Shou, who was the military adviser of this march, dissuaded him and analyzed his intentions: "Lu Bu's move is obviously intended to provoke you deliberately, and wants us to take the lead for him. Then when the two sides fight to the death, he will come to reap the benefits of the fisherman. What a good measure!"

"Then what do you say it should be?"

Yuan Shao is not stupid, he just said the words about forcibly attacking the city just because he was angry with his superiors.Thinking about it now, it seems that there is really such a possibility as Jushou said.

Yuan Shao didn't want to do the work of making wedding dresses for others.

Ju Shou arched his hands and replied: "My lord, yesterday afternoon, our military scouts accidentally discovered a secret road outside Luoyang City, which leads to a certain mansion in the city. We can take this opportunity to send some excellent soldiers , secretly sneaked into the city, and then opened the city gates, to cooperate with each other."

Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the tent, obviously hesitating, "Are you sure that the secret passage is safe? Isn't it a trap deliberately set by Dong Zhuo to lure us into it?"

Li Ru under Dong Zhuo's command was resourceful and resourceful, causing them to suffer a lot before.

Therefore, Yuan Shao will have difficulty making a decision.

"My lord, everything comes with risks. If you miss this good opportunity, you will definitely regret it in the future!" Jushou persuaded Yuan Shao earnestly, as long as this plan can be achieved, Luoyang will be easily won.

Yuan Shao was still a little uneasy, he always felt that this was a trap set by Li Ru.

"Ju Zong is right, I also suggest sending out surprise soldiers, let's go straight to Huanglong!" Cao Cao's small eyes sparkled, and he was more like a daring gambler than an adventurer.

If you want to make huge profits, you must be able to bear the risk.

Throughout the ages, the higher the risk of anything, the greater the reward.

He envied Yuan Shao very much. He had a lot of civil servants and advisers who gave advice and suggestions, and there was never a shortage of talents.

Unlike him, he didn't even have a good counselor.

This is the connections and power of the Yuan family.

After Cao Cao said this, Yuan Shaocai finally made up his mind.

Who should I arrange for?

Yuan Shao was in trouble, he didn't want his generals to test the truth.

If it was a trap, wouldn't it be a loss of a general in vain.

Cao Cao stood up, with a resolute expression on his face, and volunteered: "Ben Chu, I will go."

If it were someone else who made the request, Yuan Shao would of course agree to it.

But Cao Cao is different, he has a very good relationship with Cao Cao.When he was young and frivolous, he did a lot of things like drinking, walking the dog and playing with women together. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a best friend. When he took the position of leader, it was also thanks to Cao Cao's strong recommendation.

To be honest, Yuan Shao didn't want Cao Cao to explore the tiger's mouth, fearing that he would never return.

There are not many friends who know the basics, and after breaking up with Zhang Miao last year, there are only a handful of them.

Cao Cao was very determined, saying that he must go.

Since Cao Cao insisted, Yuan Shao also knew that he could not speak against him, so he nodded in agreement.

"Meng De, be careful when you go, even if you can't take Luoyang, you must come back safely! I don't want to lose a friend like you."

Yuan Shao put his hand on the shoulder of Cao Cao, who was a little shorter than him, his tone was earnest, and his emotion came from his heart.

Cao Cao's face was solemn, he only said the word 'rest assured', and strode out of the camp without looking back.

After night fell, they began to act.

…………

In the south of Luoyang City, beside the Luoshui River.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the clouds are layered, and on the flat land, you can't see your fingers.

A team of 50 people fumbled here, their steps were very light, and they walked all the way without making the slightest sound.

The flowing river brings a bit of evening breeze, engulfed in coolness, and fades away the heat of summer.

"Is it here?" Cao Cao, the leader, asked aloud.

The soldier who discovered the secret passage yesterday nodded and dug his hands in a very secret place, revealing a secret passage half the height of a person.

Cao Cao was about to go in, but someone grabbed his wrist.He looked back, and saw Xiahou Dun standing behind him persuading him with worried eyes: "Meng De, you'd better not go."

"Why, are you afraid that I will drag you down?"

Cao Cao smiled. He knew that Xiahou Dun was worried about him, but he had made up his mind. He must go to Luoyang for this trip.

Xiahou Dun shook his head and said, "It's not a drag, it's because of your great talent and great ambition to frame the king and assist the country, so it's not worth taking risks with us."

"There is nothing worthy or not. Last time I offered a knife and failed to kill Dong Zhuo. This time, I will cut off his head!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao straightened up and looked at Luoyang City two or three miles away. The sparks above the city were dim.

Then he arched his body and was the first to get into the narrow tunnel.
