Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290 The Battle of Mianchi
Chapter 290
When the soldiers on the Mianchi city tower saw these few soldiers and the large carts behind them, they felt a little nervous.

"What's in the car at the back?" The officer guarding the city gate originally wanted to ask the soldiers if they had official documents, but it turned into this sentence, which also made the officer slightly surprised.

"Hehe, what do you want to know about the things in the car behind? It's fine if you don't see them when you turn around. Brother, I can only tell you that these are all good things shipped from Luoyang." When the officer asked about the contents of the car, the soldiers under the city said in a mysterious and somewhat informative way.

"Uh, can I see it?" If Guo said that it was just a quick talk just now when he asked about the things on the car, then at this time, he was tempted by the soldiers outside the city, and the soldiers on the tower were looking forward to it. The news of this incident has already spread among these soldiers, but unfortunately, these soldiers stationed in other places are only jealous. Seeing that there is an opportunity at this time, there is no reason to let it go.The oil and water that must be stationed in such a low place as Mianchi cannot be compared with the oil and water in Luoyang.

"Hehe, everything is easy to talk about. Luoyang City has gotten a lot of good things in the past few days, many of which have not been accounted for. Why not open the eyes of the brothers." With a smile, he said indifferently.

"Hehe, good brothers, come in quickly, let us see what good things you have brought." At this time, the soldiers on the tower had no intention of being on guard at all, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

However, the development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. Just when the soldiers outside the city had just entered the city, the tarpaulin on the cart behind them was suddenly lifted up, and more soldiers poured out from below. One of the burly figures was none other than Sun Jian's general Huang Gai.

"Get on me, occupy the city tower, and open the city gate." Huang Gai jumped off the cart and shouted at the soldiers around him.

Immediately after the shout of killing came to mind, Huang Gai led his soldiers towards the tower and killed them.
At the same time, outside Mianchi City, dust was flying all of a sudden, and more soldiers poured out from all directions, rushing towards the wide-open city gate.

This battle did not meet much resistance. The soldiers in Mianchi City resisted sparsely at first, but after seeing the bravery of Sun Jian and Huang Gai, they gradually gave up their resistance and fled. The entire Mianchi City was already under the control of Sun Jian.

"What? Mianchi was occupied by Sun Jian? How is this possible? Didn't it mean that Sun Jian's men appeared in the south and just occupied Yong'an? Why did they go to Mianchi so soon?" After learning the news of Sun Jian's occupation of Mianchi, Dong Zhuo's heart sank. Panicked, his face full of disbelief, although Dong Zhuo was defeated, he knew that he had to flee Luoyang, but even so, Dong Zhuo never thought that the situation would deteriorate to such a degree within a day, could it be that he was really going to die what?Dong Zhuo panicked.

"Master Xiangguo, for the present plan, we can only send troops to attack Mianchi to stop Sun Jian, and at the same time quickly withdraw from Luoyang. Only in this way can we avoid further deterioration of the situation." Seeing that Dong Zhuo had lost his mind, Li Ru said hurriedly.

"Which one of you would like to lead troops to Mianchi, kill Sun Jian and take back Mianchi for me, so that our army can retreat to Chang'an?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Jue, Guo Si, Niu Fu Huaxiong and other generals who were sitting down, and asked.

"Master Xiangguo, my subordinate Hua Xiong is willing to lead his troops to Mianchi to kill Sun Jian, so as to open a bloody path for our army." Upon hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Hua Xiong stood up first and said.

"Hehe, General Hua Xiong should stay by Xiangguo's side to protect Xiangguo. Leave the matter of Mianchi to me." Just as Hua Xiong finished speaking, a person stood up next to him. Everyone saw that it was Li Jue.

"Don't worry, generals. At this time, Sun Jian has occupied Mianchi and Yong'an. It can be seen that the troops of other princes will not be too far away. Therefore, I think that General Hua Xiong should stay with the prime minister to protect the prime minister. As for Li Jue and Guo Si At this time, he needs to rush back to Chang'an with the army. You must know that Ma Teng from Xiliang also participated in this rebellion. If there are no two generals in Yongzhou to suppress the suppression, there is no guarantee that Ma Teng will not take the opportunity to make trouble." See All the generals cheered enthusiastically, but Li Ru stepped forward to stop Dao.

"Although what you said is reasonable, Mr. Sun Jian has already opened the door. Do we have to endure it?" After hearing Li Ru's words, Hua Xiong said somewhat inconsistently.

"Hehe, Prime Minister, generals, have you forgotten that we still have a troop stationed in Luoyang at this time, and they can besiege Mianchi enough to protect our army's flanks." Li Ru said with a chuckle.

"Oh, I remembered when you said that, but that Gao Shun is General Lu Bu's general, it doesn't seem good for us to give him the order directly like this?" Li Ru said this, and Niu Fu was the first to reflect. Said.

"Hehe, General Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, and all the generals under him are also brave. I think this General Gao Shun is also very willing to contribute to the Prime Minister." Li Ru said with a deep smile.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's strength was greatly weakened, and Lu Bu had already become the most powerful warlord under Dong Zhuo. For example, the plan this time was to test Lu Bu's attitude towards Dong Zhuo.If Gao Shun refuses to carry out Dong Zhuo's order, it means that Lv Bu is indeed disobedient, but if Gao Shun agrees, then he will inevitably suffer some injuries in the battle with Sun Jian, which is equivalent to weakening Lv Bu's strength.

"Well, that's fine. My son Lu Bu is still at Hulao Pass. Let Gao Shun deal with Sun Jian first. After my son Lu Bu withdraws, we will retreat to Chang'an together." Dong Zhuo was also in a hurry when he saw the orderly arrangement. I agreed.

After receiving Dong Zhuo's order, Gao Shun and several generals discussed in the big tent with gloomy faces.

"General, we can't promise Dong Zhuo like this. Dong Zhuo is obviously borrowing a knife to kill people. He wants us to fight Sun Jian, but he wants to slip away quietly. How can there be such a good thing in the world." After knowing the matter, Song Xian's men Express your opinion.

"But we can't just turn against Dong Zhuo like this, right? General Lu Bu is not ready to turn against Dong Zhuo." Hou Cheng said a little discouraged.

"Since we can't make up our minds, let's just pull out our soldiers and go to Hulao Pass to find the general." Seeing that everyone was struggling to make a decision, Wei Wei came up with a bad idea.

Soon Wei Xu's bad idea got everyone's contempt. Obviously, Wei Xu's opinion was directly ignored by everyone.However, everyone who soon realized that it was difficult to make a decision turned their attention to Gao Shun. Several people with such a heavy responsibility habitually handed over the decision-making power to Gao Shun.

"Order the battalions, we will immediately break out and drive to Mianchi." Gao Shun said firmly after thinking about it.

"General, we are going to attack Mianchi?" Song Xian asked with an expression of disbelief.

"Let's go to Mianchi first to have a look. As for whether or not to fight Mianchi, how to fight is our own business." Gao Shun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Shun was naturally unwilling to quarrel with Dong Zhuo because of this matter, and it must be up to Lu Bu to decide whether to quarrel with Dong Zhuo or not.But let Gao Shun take these people to work for Dong Zhuo, Gao Shun is naturally unwilling.It must be that Dong Zhuo's current strength is not as good as before, and it is uncertain how the situation will develop in the future. Moreover, as Ding Yuan's old subordinate, Gao Shun was quite resistant to Dong Zhuo in his heart. Naturally, he has no intention of helping Dong Zhuo resist the enemy at this time.

"Report, a soldier came from twenty miles outside the city." Sun Jian had just settled down in Mianchi, ready to meet Dong Zhuo's counterattack, but he heard a soldier coming to report.

"Oh? Dong Zhuo's reaction is quite fast. I don't know which army is coming?" Hearing the soldiers' report, Sun Jian was not surprised. Mianchi must be the only way for Dong Zhuo to escape to Chang'an. If Dong Zhuo It would be really strange not to send troops over.

"My subordinates have inquired. The enemy's chief general is called Gao Shun, and he is Lu Bu's general." The soldier replied.

"Gao Shun? What do you think of Huang Gai?" Sun Jian turned to Huang Gai and asked.

"General, as the saying goes, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, we might as well go out of the city to meet this Gao Shun." Huang Gai said indifferently.

"That's true, but this Gao Shun is setting up a camp twenty miles outside the city, doesn't he intend to attack the city?" Sun Jian narrowed his eyes and said a little strangely.

"It seems that this person is difficult to deal with. General, should we go out of the city to meet this Gao Shun?" Huang Gai asked.

"That's fine. Once Dong Zhuo's troops pass by Mianchi, we will definitely attack. If Gao Shun is next to attack, our army will be in great trouble. It would be better to drive him away." Thinking of this, Sun Jian also agreed. Had to fight.

Not long after, the Mianchi city gate suddenly opened, and Sun Jian stepped out with his helmet on. Behind him, Huang Gai galloped out with a group of Jiangdong disciples, rushing towards Gao Shun's camp with a murderous look.

"Hehe, Sun Jian is an impatient guy." Looking at Sun Jian who was rushing all the way, Wei Xu said with a smile.

"Since Sun Jian is here, I need some generals to go and entertain him." Gao Shun said to Wei Xuhou Cheng Songxian after looking at Sun Jian who was rushing towards him.

"Hehe, then I will go first. I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, and my hands are itchy." Seeing Gao Shun's order to fight, Wei Xu was the first to gallop out.

"The two of you are ready to respond at any time." Gao Shun had also heard about the name of the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, and after Wei Xu played the battle, he said to Song Xian and Hou Cheng who were next to him with some anxiety.

"Boy Sun Jian, grandpa wasn't in Runan that day. I heard that you were very arrogant. Let grandpa teach you a lesson today." After rushing out, Wei Xu first shouted provocatively at Sun Jian.
