Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 199 The Battle of Hulao Pass (3)

After a moment of silence in the hall, Lv Bu couldn't bear it any longer, and clasped his fists at Dong Zhuo and shouted, "Father! Since these Kanto princes are so presumptuous! Please father-in-law to send a child to fight! The child will keep the heads of these princes and sacrifice them Under the tent of the adoptive father! There is no need for the adoptive father to bring his own troops to go out! It is enough to have a child, and ask the adoptive father to give the child a brigade of troops to fight against the allies." Originally, when Dong Zhuo sent soldiers to guard Sishui Pass, Lu Bu He once asked Dong Zhuo for his life, but at that time Hua Xiong and Guo Si snatched that opportunity away.Now that Hua Xiong has died in battle, Guo Si and Li Su have died in battle, looking at Dong Zhuo's tent, I am afraid that only Lu Bu can restrain the princes of the world!What's more, Li Su and Lu Bu were good friends. Now that Li Su died at the hands of the Allied forces, Lu Bu naturally wanted to avenge his friend.

But Dong Zhuo didn't rush to reply to Lu Bu, but turned to look at Li Ru.This defeat not only lost Sishui Pass, but also severely damaged the morale of Dong Zhuo's army.Don't look at Dong Zhuo being so arrogant in Luoyang now, but Dong Zhuo knows very well in his heart that in Luoyang City, those dark forces are always waiting for the opportunity to pull him down!At this time, Dong Zhuo had to be cautious, Sishuiguan was defeated, and it was imperative to send Lv Bu to fight, and he had no choice.But before that, Dong Zhuo still wanted to hear Li Ru's suggestions. After all, Li Ru was his number one think tank, and his ideas were very important.

Seeing Dong Zhuo looking at him, Li Ru also knew that Dong Zhuo was asking for advice, so Li Ru thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Dong Zhuo: "Grand Master! This subordinate has some suggestions, and I want to ask the Grand Master to make a decision!"

Dong Zhuoke waited for Li Ru to speak, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "Li Ru! Our family knows that you have the most ideas! Feel free to say anything!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo ignoring him, Lu Bu was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything more, and could only sit back in his seat honestly.In fact, Lv Bu knew very well that Dong Zhuo was very important to him from outsiders, but in Dong Zhuo's mind, the soldiers he brought over from Yongliang were probably the most worthy of his trust, and they were his confidantes!The last time at Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo ignored his request to fight and instead sent Guo Si to guard Sishui Pass, which can also be seen.However, regarding this point, Lu Bu could not say anything. To put it bluntly, it would not do him any good, but the moment Lu Bu lowered his head, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Although Li Ru didn't see through Lv Bu's thoughts, he glanced at Lv Bu meaningfully, then turned his head and said to Dong Zhuo, "Prime Minister! According to my subordinates, since Sishui Pass was defeated, our general should Hua Xiong and Guo Si were killed in battle. If our army wants to repel the Kwantung princes, it must be General Lu! However, my subordinates feel that we don’t have to go head-to-head with the princes of the world, and I am afraid that we will only lose.

Having said that, Li Ru paused, and began to count: "Based on my subordinate's estimation, among the allied forces, Zhao Lei's Yangzhou soldiers should bear the brunt of the combat power, followed by Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu of the Yuan family. Cao Cao's army, although Sun Jian killed Hua Xiong, but this was only based on his personal ability, and had nothing to do with his troops. Therefore, the subordinates believed that the lord's best policy is to hold the Hulao Pass firmly. Over time, food and grass will be scarce, and the degree of unity will inevitably drop greatly. At this time, as long as they have internal strife, it is time for us to send troops."

Dong Zhuo thought about it, nodded, and thought it made sense.

"No, wouldn't there be no room for me to play like this?" Lu Bu blurted out as he listened to Li Ru's words, the more he heard something wrong.

"Hehe, Fengxian is brave, and this time the battle of Hulao Pass will naturally not be without Fengxian." Li Ru said with a smile when he saw that Lu Bu was angry, but he was not afraid.

Then Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "This is how I imagined it. My lord will station [-] Xiliang troops at Hulao Pass, and then I will send Fengxian to station a strong army at Hulao Pass, to fight each other." When the time comes to fight with the troops of the princes, we can let Fengxian fight with them first, and the troops in Hulao Pass will be used as support. The advantage of this is that we can prevent the princes from approaching Hulao Pass and attack the city, and we can also Fighting with them in close quarters, making use of the advantages of Xiliang soldiers in field battles, they can advance, attack, retreat and defend, coupled with our Xiliang army's superiority in strength, we will definitely be able to defeat the allies."

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo thought about it, and still seemed a little hesitant.

The importance of Hulao Pass is self-evident, and Dong Zhuo naturally couldn't understand it anymore. Although Dong Zhuo himself had reservations about Li Ru's strategy, he saw that Li Ru was so sure, so Dong Zhuo could only continue to ask: "Wen You, are you sure this method can make our army invincible?"

"Teacher, please rest assured!" Li Ru immediately cupped his hands and said, "I am very sure that if the prime minister leads the army in person! Join hands with Marquis Wen to resist the allied forces at Hulao Pass! This will boost the morale of our soldiers in Xiliang .Secondly, retreat [-] steps and say that even if you lose to the Allied Forces, the prime minister can retreat to Luoyang to avoid the front for the time being! In addition, the lord should also send heavy troops to guard Hongnong and Hedong, thinking that he will respond! Make sure nothing is lost."

"No!" Just after Li Ru finished speaking, Fan Chou, a general of the Xiliang Army who had been sitting silently below, immediately objected, stood up and shouted at Dong Zhuo, "Grand Master! No! Now the situation in Luoyang City seems to be dominated by our army, but it is not very stable! If the Taishi went out rashly, if those small forces in Luoyang City took the opportunity to make trouble and occupy Luoyang instead of customers, wouldn’t this break our The retreat of the army and the supply of food and grass?" Among the cadres and generals under Dong Zhuo's tent, Fan Chou was relatively favored by Dong Zhuo, so his words were also very important.In fact, he knew very well that although Dong Zhuo was very powerful now, it was all because Dong Zhuo's army was in Luoyang City!If Dong Zhuo went to Hulao Pass with his army, there is no guarantee that those so-called loyal officials of the Han Dynasty would not have two hearts!
When Zhang Ji objected, the rest of the generals also followed suit.Zhang Ji, another general among them, said, "As soon as the prime minister's army is out, Luoyang will be empty!"

In fact, their relationship with Li Ru was pretty good, not against Li Ru, but because they were able to enjoy the glory and wealth now, all because Dong Zhuo occupied the affluent Luoyang and controlled the court.If Luoyang is lost at that time, although it is not a big deal, the key point is that they will return to the barren Xiliang to suffer again!
What Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and the others said was quite reasonable, and Dong Zhuo couldn't help hesitating, not knowing who to listen to.But at this time, Li Ru smiled lightly and said, "Generals! Don't worry! Wen You hasn't finished talking yet! If you have any ideas, you can wait until after I finish speaking, and it's not too late to raise them!"

After hearing Li Ru's words, everyone calmed down consciously.

Li Ru seemed very satisfied with the reaction of the generals. He nodded, with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to Dong Zhuo and said, "Grand Master, General Fan Chou and General Zhang Ji, what they said is true. It is not unreasonable! But this matter is not difficult to solve! There are indeed many residual forces in Luoyang City, but I am sure that these forces will never dare to openly fight against the prime minister! Because they do not have the guts. If they really If they want to make any noise, they will never dare to use their own name! Therefore, the only thing they can rely on is that little emperor! Therefore, if the grand master wants to prevent these forces from making trouble, it is very simple, just use the current Your Majesty is also with you, and we can go to Hulao Pass together!"

"Ah! What?!!!" After hearing Li Ru's opinion, all the people present were shocked!This Li Ru's courage is too lawless!Isn't this blatantly plundering the emperor!If Dong Zhuo really did this, then all the princes in the world will come against Dong Zhuo!Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others even more confidently accused Dong Zhuo of deceiving the emperor!Then Dong Zhuo's reputation is completely rotten!Isn't this helping the enemy to find a beautiful excuse to beat him?
But everyone turned their minds to think again, could it be that Dong Zhuo's reputation would be better if he didn't do this?Yuan Shao and others also want to attack him?Since the result is the same whether you do it or not, you might as well fight it out!All the people present were Dong Zhuo's subordinates. What they cared about was not Dong Zhuo's reputation, but whether Dong Zhuo could bring them prosperity and wealth.So, thinking of this, they were silent again.

In fact, these generals under Dong Zhuo, when they were in Xiliang, one or two were all daring, there is really nothing in the world that they dare not do!After thinking about it carefully, they felt that Li Ru's idea was good.And Dong Zhuo also thought so, bowed his head and thought for a moment, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and shouted directly: "Okay! Li Ru! You have a good idea! Let's do it like this! Our family will enter the palace later! Let that milk baby give the order Let’s say that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others conspired against them and had bad intentions, so they let the emperor personally conquest! Hahahaha! Didn’t those people in Yuan Shao always say that our family is a national traitor? Now that the emperor wants to attack them, our family wants people from all over the world to come! Let's see, who is the national traitor! Who is plotting rebellion! Let's see if they dare to attack the emperor!"

Dong Zhuo actually came up with such a clever trick from Li Ru's idea, and he laughed complacently at the moment.And Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others who were sitting down also stepped up to Dong Zhuo in a timely manner and shouted: "The grand master is wise!"

Li Ru did not intend to give up on this, but smiled speculatively, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Grand Master! This alone may not be enough! Besides the emperor, there are some big forces in this city of Luoyang! We must guard against it." Let those small forces take advantage of these people to create chaos! So these people would rather kill [-] people than let go!" When Li Ru said the last sentence, Li Ru's words were cold, and the few people around Li Ru The general could even feel some cold sweat on his back.

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he also nodded and said, "That's right! That's good! These bastards have never been uneasy and kind! Our family will kill a few of them too! Let them know that I, Dong Zhuo, am not a vegetarian! Wen You, In your opinion, who should we use for the knife?"

Regarding this, Li Ru had already had an idea, and he said slowly: "My lord, in fact, it is already obvious who to kill. Who is the leader of the allied forces outside the pass?"

When asked by Li Ru, Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered someone.
