Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 198 The Battle of Hulao Pass (2)

Luoyang City, Taishi Mansion, Council Hall

"You cannibals who don't care about human affairs!" Only heard Dong Zhuo's roar, and then a wine glass suddenly flew out, directly towards the Xiliang soldiers kneeling in front of them in tattered clothes and crooked helmets The sergeant smashed through.Those Xiliang soldiers didn't even dare to dodge, and the wine glass fell straight on a soldier's head.Suddenly the soldier felt his head heat up, and blood flowed down immediately.Although the other soldiers were not hit by Dong Zhuo, they were filled with fear in their hearts. Faced with Dong Zhuo's anger, all of them lowered their heads and remained silent.

In the council hall, the atmosphere seemed very dignified. The soldiers were kneeling in the center of the hall. Dong Zhuo was sitting on a high seat. None of the civil servants and generals sitting below dared to speak. The only thing in the hall was Dong Zhuo's heavy breathing. Voice.These sergeants were all soldiers who Guo Si let them escape at that time. Although they escaped from Sishui Pass, they were all wounded.If Zhang Han hadn't ordered a few people to go back to report to Dong Zhuo, they probably wouldn't be able to come back.After they fled to Luoyang, without a moment's rest, they ran directly to Taishi's mansion to report the news.It's a pity that they miscalculated, for they ran so desperately to Dong Zhuo's place, what greeted them was not Dong Zhuo's reward, but Dong Zhuo's roar and the flying wine cup!

"First, Hua Xiong died at the hands of Sun Jian, and then Zhao Lei attacked Sishuiguan, Guo Si and Li Su were killed!" Suddenly, Dong Zhuo overturned the table and said angrily, "Waste, all of them are waste, why should I support you?" use?"

Dong Zhuo stared at a pair of blood-red eyes like a demon, staring viciously at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were kneeling below. Obviously, the anger in his heart had surfaced on his face, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Come on!" Ah! Drag all these wastes down for me! Cut them all down! Useless things! After losing the battle, even Guo Bang and Li Su committed suicide, you people dare to come back and make a fool of yourself? It's a loss of face for our Xiliang army!"

As soon as those sergeants heard Dong Zhuo's order, they immediately showed despair on their faces. Now they finally understood why Guo Bang and Li Sun would rather jump to their deaths when they broke the city at Sishui Pass than Come back to confess the crime.It's too late to regret now.After Dong Zhuo gave an order, a few of Dong Zhuo's soldiers walked in from the outside of the council hall. They clasped their fists and bowed to Dong Zhuo, and immediately set up these soldiers and walked out.These soldiers knew that it would be useless to resist, so they simply let the soldiers drag them down without saying a word.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, someone finally spoke in the council hall, and the only one who dared to speak at this time was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's most trusted counselor.Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's youngest son-in-law, and Dong Zhuo's eldest daughter married Niu Fu, the general who followed Dong Zhuo the longest. Now Niu Fu is staying in Yongliang under Dong Zhuo's order.Therefore, Li Ru is the closest person to Dong Zhuo in this council hall.Moreover, Li Ru claims to be the number one military advisor under Dong Zhuo's account, so his status is so-so.

Seeing Li Ru speak, Dong Zhuo was about to get angry again, but he finally endured it, but the eyes he stared at Li Ru were very cold.Although Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's youngest son-in-law, he is also Dong Zhuo's think tank.But all Dong Zhuo's subordinates here know that if Li Ru speaks inappropriately and annoys Dong Zhuo who is now burning with anger, Dong Zhuo doesn't mind making his daughter a widow.But having said that, Li Ru has also followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and he knows Dong Zhuo's temperament best. Facing Dong Zhuo's fierce gaze, Li Ru did not have the slightest fear, and bowed to Dong Zhuo with his hands clasped together: "Grand Master, don't be afraid." Hurry up, let this subordinate ask these people a question, and it won't be too late to kill them!"

"Wen You, you are ashamed to say it! At that time, you patted your chest and told me that it would be no problem for Guo Si to stick to the Sishui Pass, but now it is fine. How did you see the result?" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"Teacher, don't worry, this subordinate just wanted to ask these soldiers how the Sishui Pass fell." Li Ru said unhurriedly.

No matter what, Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's most capable counselor after all, and Dong Zhuo still wanted to give him some face. Even though he snorted coldly and turned his head away, he agreed to Li Ru's request.Immediately afterwards, Li Ru turned his head to look at those soldiers, but the smile on his face froze instantly, and asked darkly: "I'll ask you, you have to answer honestly, maybe the prime minister can spare your family life!"

Hearing Li Ru's words, the eyes of these sergeants lit up. They also knew that they would lose their heads, but it was a good thing to be able to keep their family members. They all looked at Li Ru at the same time.Li Ru nodded. He was afraid that these sergeants were completely desperate and would not cooperate with him at all, so he used the families of these sergeants as bargaining chips.Seeing that the plan worked, Li Ru continued to drink and asked: "Let me ask you, I have ordered Guo Si to guard the Sishui Pass to the death, did he not obey my order, or go out to meet the enemy?"

The soldiers shook their heads one after another, denying Li Ru's statement.

"Then how did Zhao Lei break through Sishui Pass?" Li Ru wondered.

According to Li Ru's estimate, as long as Sishui Pass is defended against natural dangers, even if the number of allied forces outside the pass is doubled, they will only be blocked outside the pass.However, Zhao Lei's Yangzhou army was able to capture Sishuiguan within a month, which is really unbelievable!

Previously, these sergeants only told Dong Zhuo that Sishui Pass was breached, Hua Xiong, Guo Si and Li Su were all killed in battle, except Hua Xiong's death. But there was no time to say it.Now that Li Ru asked this question, all the civil servants and generals in the hall, including Dong Zhuo, suddenly remembered, what was the specific situation of this battle, and how was Sishui Pass captured?But they don't know it at all.At this time, Dong Zhuo felt that he was a little impulsive just now, but he didn't want to lose face, so he turned his head away and just pricked up his ears secretly.Sishui Pass is a natural danger. Although there are only more than [-] soldiers guarding it, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.Now Dong Zhuo is very interested in how Zhao Lei broke through the Sishui pass.

In order to save the lives of their family members, those Xiliang soldiers dared not hold back anything. Immediately, one of them immediately said: "After General Hua died in battle, General Guo and General Li followed the advice of the military division before leaving. , Strictly guard the Sishui Pass, and no one is allowed to fight." In order to avoid making Li Ru angry if he didn't speak clearly, the sergeant simply started from the beginning.

"Well! Then?" Li Ru nodded and said.

The sergeant continued: "I don't know why later, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses suddenly appeared from behind Sishuiguan. The soldiers of Sishuiguan couldn't resist, so they could only watch Zhao Yun open the city gate and let Zhao Lei's Yangzhou soldiers and soldiers come. Sun Jian's troops entered Sishui Pass. Generals Guo Si and Li Su fought to the last moment and were killed at Sishui Pass." The sergeant still said a few good words for Guo Si and Li Su here, because it was Guo Si and Li Su who Si and Li Su let them go, which is equivalent to giving them a way out. Although they would have to suffer the same knife in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo might be able to let their family members go if he knew the matter, so they also helped them while reporting the truth. Let Guo Si and Li Su say good things.

After Li Ru heard what the sergeant said, although there was no expression on his face, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Wen You, our family is getting more and more incomprehensible. Why did Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses appear behind Sishui Pass?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru paid homage to Dong Zhuo and said, "My lord, what I see is that Zhao Lei may have found some local people in Sishui Pass and inquired about some secret passages that can enter Sishui Pass. Guo Si and Li Su don't know about those secret passages." , that’s why Zhao Yun successfully attacked him.”

"Presumptuous! How dare those untouchables help Zhao Lei! We are really mad at our family." Dong Zhuo said angrily.

"Grand Master, I suggest that General Li Jue, who is guarding Hulao Pass, investigate the geographical environment of Hulao Pass immediately. We cannot make the same mistake again," Li Ru said.

Dong Zhuo was angry, but he was still very clear-headed. He nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, those sergeants narrated the entire process of the Battle of Sishuiguan. The soldier did not explain clearly, and the other sergeants quickly added, and finally explained the battle clearly.Especially when talking about Sun Jian, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others, the tone is particularly heavy.

Hearing that Zhao Yun had arrived at Sishui Pass, Lu Bu who was sitting opposite Li Ru, his eyes were already burning hot, and he wished he could go to Sishui Pass to compete with Zhao Yun now!
Compared with Lu Bu's fighting spirit, Li Ru seemed more calm. He frowned and said, "Zhao Lei's Yangzhou soldiers are really unfathomable, and Zhao Lei's military advisor, Zhang Han, is so resourceful that even I can't believe it." It's better to sigh."

Finally, Li Ru nodded towards Dong Zhuo, indicating that he had finished asking, and Dong Zhuo waved his hand directly, and those soldiers immediately dragged these sergeants down. Needless to say, what awaited them would be the shining Butcher knife!

Before leaving, Li Ru said to the soldiers: "Your family members and grand masters will take care of them. The fall of Sishui Pass has nothing to do with you."

When the soldiers heard Li Ru's words, they all cast grateful eyes.

After those soldiers were dragged out, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, Zhao Lei's Yangzhou soldiers are too strong, they are a powerful force in the allied army. I suggest that my lord should personally lead the army to fight this time. win."

"Why bother!" Lu Bu said, standing up.
