Lu Dynasty

Chapter 199
Cao took Chen Gong and ran to Chenliu. After dissipating all his family wealth, he got the support from Wei Zi and started recruiting troops.When Cao started the incident, the Xiahou brothers first led people to join Cao, and within a few days Cao Hong and Cao Ren also brought thousands of people to join Cao.And Cao also recruited several talents other than his own family members. For example, there is a Yangping Weiguo, whose surname is Le, whose name is Jin, and whose name is Wenqian, and a Shanyang Julu man, whose surname is Li, whose name is Dian, and whose name is Man. After that, Cao left them all as officials in front of the account.

After Cao raised 5000 men and horses, Wei Zi spent all his family money to buy military equipment and armor for Cao, and countless people came from all over the world to provide Cao with military rations.Now that Cao has recruited good soldiers, he is ready to ask for Dong.So he issued a letter to the world and said: "I would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo bullied the sky and the earth, destroyed the country and murdered the king; the palace was filthy, the palace was forbidden, and the souls were killed; the wolf was cruel and the crimes piled up! Today, the emperor's secret edict, a big collection of righteousness Soldiers, vowing to wipe out China and wipe out the culprits. Hope to rejuvenate the volunteers to vent public anger; support the royal family and save the people. The call to action can be implemented as soon as possible!"

As soon as Cao's call was issued, the whole world can be said to have gathered to respond, but of course only 11 families sent troops. They are: the first town, the later general Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu.In the second town, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.In the third town, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou.In the fourth town, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou.In the fifth town, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County.In the sixth town, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.In the seventh town, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun.In the eighth town, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Sanyo.In the ninth town, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.In the tenth town, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai. No.12 town, Guangling prefect Zhang Chao. No.13 Town, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou. No.14 town, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng. No.15 Town, Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan. No.16 town, Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang. No.17 Town, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, Changsha prefect. No.[-] town, Yuan Shao, Qi Xianghou, Bohai prefect, and Cao Gong's [-]th princes.The number of armies and horses from all walks of life varies. It seems that Yuan Shao led [-] troops, and there were also [-] or [-] troops. Each led civilian and military generals and came to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo also received a call for Dong Xiwen, and he quickly called all civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.But apart from people like Li Ru, civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty, who would give advice for Dong Zhuo, and it would be fine if he didn't sell him.Those aristocratic families are basically connected with the Kwantung Allied Forces.Dong Zhuo was very annoyed when he saw that these civil and military officials did not speak.So we simply dispersed and returned to the government, and it was up to us to discuss the countermeasures.

Dong Zhuo summoned all his subordinates in Luoyang to the prime minister's mansion. He looked at us and asked, "How should we deal with the nearly 40 Kwantung coalition forces?"

Li Ru twisted the sparse goatee on his chin and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass outside Luoyang are strong fortresses. As long as there are generals guarding them, they can stop the coalition forces for a few more days. If you don't fight, you will collapse."

"Why?" Dong Zhuo asked in surprise: "Since they came from the coalition, if they don't take your and my heads, how can they retreat? Could it be that they are waiting for their rations to run out?"

Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, don't look at the aggressiveness of the Kwantung Allied Forces. In fact, their internal conflicts are deep! Let's say that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers are fighting openly and secretly, Han Fu is on guard against Yuan Shao, Cao, Zhang Miao and others are in a group again, Qiao Mao There has always been a rift between Liu Dai and Liu Dai, so how can we work together? Now that the general situation of the world is clear and the situation of the princes is about to be separated, who of them wants to save more strength for the sake of the world? As long as the father-in-law sends a general to guard Sishui Pass, and then kiss Suppress Hulao Pass, then order Xu Rong to defend Xingyang to the death, and Li Jue and Guo Si lead the cavalry back and forth to support them. In this way, we can guard him for ten or eight years without any problem. At that time, the Kwantung coalition forces will be hindered, and those princes will inevitably have civil strife , let’s take the opportunity to pursue them again, and the world will be settled!”

Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard Li Ru's words, "Ru'er is really my ovary! As Li Ru said, who would guard the Sishui Pass for me!"

"Father, I have been under the command of my father for a long time, and I have been valued by my father, but I have not made any achievements. Now I am willing to guard Sishui Pass for my father!" Lu Bu clasped his fists and came out.

"Prime Minister! How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer! It is enough for me, Hua Xiong, to go out of the town of Sishuiguan!" Hua Xiong said.

I waved my feather fan and said, "That's right! The main battlefield must be at Hulao Pass, and Hua Xiong is capable of defending Sishui Pass!" This Guan Yu was accepted by me, and if Hua Xiong was killed by warm wine again, it would be him too. bad luck.But those who can kill Hua Xiong, except for a few of my subordinates, the others seem to be similar to Hua Xiong.It is easy to defeat Hua Xiong, but it is unlikely to kill him.

Li Ru turned his small eyes and said, "Father-in-law, Hua Xiong is more brave than wise, and Ba Xian is resourceful, how about letting him cooperate with Hua Xiong to guard Hulao Pass?"

"This..." Dong Zhuo looked at me with some hesitation and said, "I don't know what Ba Xian wants to do?"

I smiled and said, "I am a general under the prime minister's command, and I will only obey the prime minister's orders! However, if the prime minister orders me to go, will I be responsible for making suggestions or leading the army to fight? If it is only for making suggestions, I will go alone with Hua Xiong. Lead the army to fight, and I will lead the army!"

Dong Zhuo said: "Fengxian wants to fight Hulaoguan with me. If Baxian takes the army away, what should Fengxian do? Baxian will make a plan, and I don't want Baxian to go to the battlefield. Listen to Fengxian and tell you I often lose control on the battlefield, if you are injured, wouldn't I lose a lot of help!"

I nodded and said, "In that case, General Lao Hua will take care of me!" Hua Xiong smiled and gave me a reassuring look.

"Listen, all generals!" Dong Zhuo ordered, "Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, and Lu Feng lead [-] elite troops to Sishui Pass to meet the enemy. Hua Xiong is the commander, Hu Zhen is the deputy general, and Lu Feng is the supervisor! Li Ru followed me to Hulao Pass to meet the enemy, Xu Rong guarded Xingyang! Zhang Ji, you guard Luoyang, and anyone who moves will be killed without mercy!"

After Dong Zhuo assigned the task, all the generals started to act, only I was still slow.Dong Zhuo stopped me and said, "Be careful when you go here, Ba Xian. I wonder who you want to bring as a bodyguard? Why don't you take that Dian Wei with you?"

"I only received Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng under my command!" I laughed and said, "Dian Wei wants to protect Yan'er, Xu Chu wants to protect Rui'er, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun don't know where they died, I wonder if they were in the Luoyang Rebellion The whole army was wiped out by then, so I am very useless now."

Dong Zhuo said: "Baxian disregarded his own safety for the sake of his wives and concubines? How can he use it with peace of mind when he just received it under his command? How about I send some people to protect you?"

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness. As the saying goes: You don't need to be suspicious of someone. If the Prime Minister really doesn't trust me, send me five hundred soldiers to protect me!" I laughed.

Dong Zhuo nodded, and really allocated 500 people from Hua Xiong's command to be my personal soldiers, which made me a little moved.
