Lu Dynasty

Chapter 228 Ambush
Luoyang has been set on fire, and all the things I want have been found and moved away.So Lu Bu and I went to chase Dong Zhuo, and finally caught up with him in Xingyang.Lu Bu handed over all the excavated gold and silver to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw that his military expenditures had started to increase again, so he said happily, "I am very relieved to have Fengxian and Baxian do things!"

"Father-in-law! It's too early to rest assured!" Li Ru said: "The Kwantung Allied Forces will definitely send people to investigate when they see that Luoyang is on fire. If they find that we have abandoned Luoyang, they will definitely send people to chase us. Our migrating team has traveled for hundreds of miles. If you are caught up, there will be losses, the prime minister might as well send an army to stop the rear!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "What Ru'er said is right! But who will be sent to cut off the queen? Fengxian and Baxian have just returned, Xu Rong still has to guard Xingyang, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Hua Xiong have all been sent out!"

I smiled and said, "Then let Fengxian and I go for a walk! I also want to meet old friends!"

Dong Zhuo asked suspiciously, "Who did Ba Xian talk about?"

"Cao Cao Mengde!" I laughed and said, "There are still loyal people in the coalition army, none more than Cao and Sun Jian. Yuan Shao and others will definitely not come to chase the prime minister, and Sun Jian has been beaten by Hua Xiong. The remaining troops, It’s not enough to protect him, Sun Jian, to go back to Jiangdong, so only Cao will come to chase us, and only he has the strength and is willing to come to chase us.”

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Baxian had better capture Cao alive, I will scrape him alive one by one! This kind of thief who betrays the master is really infuriating!"

"Prime Minister, don't be angry. Cao is extremely cunning. It is possible to defeat him, but it is very unlikely to capture him alive!" I said with a smile, "Cao is best at stealing, cheating and cheating." , and he doesn't despise poor families like Yuan Shao, so there are many loyal and brave generals under Cao's command!"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Since Cao has many loyal and brave generals, why didn't he send them out to fight Hua Xiong and Lu Bu?"

"Cao is not stupid!" I said with a smile, "Think about it, prime minister, the leader of the coalition is Yuan Shao. No matter how hard Cao contributes, Yuan Shao will get the most benefit in the end. Cao is so shrewd, how can he do it for others?" Marrying clothes? Moreover, the generals under Cao’s command once competed with Feng Xian, and it would be impossible to defeat Feng Xian, but if you want to hold Feng Xian and let Cao run away, it is still very easy!”

Dong Zhuo heard what I said, so he smiled and said: "Cao can't make any big waves. If you can, it's best to capture him alive. Xu Rong, you take [-] fine cavalry and Ba Xian with them! [-] iron cavalry are against him. With more than ten thousand troops, I can think of him!" I nodded, and set off with Lu Bu and Xu Rong!
When I came to Bianshui, I looked at the terrain and found that this is a good place for an ambush.Xu Rong also thought so, so he ambush at the mountain dock by Bianshui, and I took Lu Bu to ambush in the forest not far from Bianshui.This is also thanks to the good environmental protection in the Han Dynasty. There are forests everywhere. If you change to modern times, you can only ambush behind the buildings. Thirty to fifty thousand people are sneaking behind the buildings.

Before Dong Zhuo left, he ordered Zhao Cen to guard Hulao Pass.When Luoyang was on fire, Zhao Cen dedicated Hulao Pass to Yuan Shao.Sun Jian went to Luoyang first under Yuan Shao's order, but Liu Bei and others who were supposed to follow had long since disappeared.Sun Jian looked at Luoyang from a distance, and saw the flames soaring into the sky and the black smoke covering the ground. He didn't even see a single person within a hundred miles of Luoyang city.When Sun Jian arrived in Luoyang, he first ordered his soldiers to put out the fire. After Yuan Shao arrived, he saw that Luoyang, which used to be prosperous in the past, was now in ruins, so he asked the princes to choose a wasteland in Luoyang to camp.

As soon as Cao heard Yuan Shao's order for the princes to stay on the spot and not pursue him, he rushed to see Yuan Shao and said, "Now Dong Zhuo is fleeing to the west. At first, he should take advantage of the situation and pursue him. How can he stay still?"

Yuan Shao glanced at Cao with displeasure and said, "How can we pursue them when we are exhausted? What if we are ambushed by Lu Bu and others on the way? The Art of War says: Don't chase after the poor! If Dong Zhuo jumps over the wall in a hurry, do you think our coalition forces will fight in the field?" , is Dong Zhuojun's opponent?"

Cao said: "Dong Zhuo burned the palace and looted the emperor's officials. The world was shaken. This is a good opportunity to destroy him. We can stabilize the world by fighting. How can you be afraid that Dong Zhuo has an ambush and dare not pursue him?" The princes are already afraid of Lu Bu's martial arts. If it weren't for the army to go, who would dare to chase us alone with Cao?You know, Dong Zhuo's 40 cavalry are not vegetarians!
Cao looked at the faces of the princes and yelled angrily: "Shuzi is not enough to plan!" After speaking, he brought more than ten thousand elite soldiers under his command to pursue Dong Zhuo.Cao Xingye chased us, but he didn't know that Xu Rong, Lu Bu and I were already waiting for him by the Bianshui.Just when Cao led the Xiahou brothers, Cao Hong and others to chase Bianshui, I took Lu Bu out of the forest not far from Bianshui.When Cao saw Lu Bu and I were shocked, I smiled and said to Cao, "Brother Meng De, are you all right? I have been waiting here for a long time!"

Lu Bu also laughed and said, "Sure enough, as Big Brother and Li Ru expected, how is Brother Meng De?"

Cao bit the bullet and scolded: "Rebel, where do you want to go when you rob the emperor and hundreds of officials?" Cao's words were very unconvincing. I think if Cao in history would have spoken more righteously.In fact, Cao is not afraid of a brave and reckless man like Lu Bu, but Cao is quite afraid of me.

Lv Bu laughed and said, "Meng De, the Prime Minister is trying to kill you! You don't want to resist, just relying on your soldiers, how can you be an elite opponent under my command!"

"You won't know until you've fought!" Cao roared, "Xiahoudun!" Knowing that he was no match for Lu Bu, Xiahoudun rushed towards Lu Bu with his soldiers.

At this time, Li Jue came to the left and Guo Si came to the right. Cao quickly sent Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and others to resist.It's a pity that our current military strength exceeds [-], how can Cao resist it.So Cao, who was defeated in the battle, ran back with the remnants of his defeated generals.

I asked Lu Bu to gather the troops and said to Li Jue and Guo Si, "Why are the two generals here?"

Li Jue said: "The prime minister wanted to capture Cao alive, so he sent us here!"

"However, it's really like what Baxian said, this Cao can really run!" Guo Si said.

I smiled and said, "The two generals gathered their troops quickly, and we went to pursue them. Xu Rong is still waiting for Cao with [-] troops! Even if we can't capture Cao alive, it is very good if we can kill him. !" Li Jue and Guo Si listened to my words, assembled their soldiers, and joined forces with me to pursue Cao Cao.
