And now that Huangfu Song is in front of Lu Zhi, it means that all those people have been killed by Huangfu Song.
"So now, is it time for us to take action?" Huangfu Song asked Lu Zhi, his face looking serious but slightly excited.
He chose to return to Luoyang and was willing to be monitored for the same reason as Lu Zhi, and it was because he saw his good friend Lu Zhi staying in Luoyang that he did so.
"We have long been deprived of our military power, so there is very little we can do." Lu Zhi said, "And we are not sure who the 'bandit' they mentioned who burned down the granary and defeated Lu Bu is."
"They must be members of the anti-Dong coalition, right?" Huangfu Song said, "Otherwise, there is no reason for them to take such a great risk to come to Luoyang to do such a thing."
"Lü Bu, you have seen her martial arts before. She is a person favored by heaven and earth. Ordinary heroes can hardly defeat her. If the anti-Dong coalition had a hero who could defeat her quickly, Hulao Pass should have been breached long ago."
Huangfu Song frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and seemed to understand what Lu Zhi meant.
"You mean... they might be another group of people?"
Lu Zhi shook his head: "Not necessarily, I just think it's impossible for it to be those ordinary heroes, but there is one person in the anti-Dong coalition who can do this."
"And this kind of 'thug' behavior is also in line with his style."
Huangfu Song was slightly surprised: "You mean, it's Liu Zhaoqing?"
Then Huangfu Song thought about what Liu Zhaoqing had done. Almost every one of them was shocking enough when mentioned individually. So it wouldn't be surprising if he did something like this?
"If it was really Zhao Qing, then he would never take the risk just to burn the food. I think his target is most likely Dong Zhuo's army that is besieging Han Fu's main force outside."
"Ah? Dong Zhuo's main force... Even if he brings everyone along, it will still be hard to defeat him, right?"
Huangfu Song frowned immediately after he finished speaking: "Besides, Zigan, if you can guess it, doesn't it mean that Dong Zhuo's advisers may also be able to guess it?"
"Guessing it is one thing, whether Dong Zhuo can believe it is another. Moreover, even if he knows that it is Liu Zhaoqing, I think Dong Zhuo will fall more into the trap set by Liu Zhaoqing." Lu Zhi said.
"That's right. Zhao Qing is the leader of the anti-Dong alliance." Huangfu Song nodded slightly, then touched his chin and spoke while thinking.
"Then how can we help him? We are trapped in Luoyang, and even the news from the outside world is only sent to us by Zhu Jun who uses his many connections to hide it in food."
"What we can do to help him now is to distract Dong Zhuo's attention. Although we don't have military power, our names are the best 'military power'." After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he didn't continue with the riddle, shook off the blood from the sword wound and continued.
"There are five county magistrates in Luoyang who are my students, and three county lieutenants who are your old subordinates. We should persuade them, and then disrupt Dong Zhuo's flank, creating greater opportunities for the anti-Dong coalition and Zhao Qing."
Huangfu Song then remembered that Lu Zhi was a great scholar and his disciples were spread all over the world. Although this method was highly risky, it was the only option.
"Good, then we can also join up with Zhu Jun, or find the anti-Dong coalition and let Dong Zhuo see what the fate of those who defy the will of heaven and disrupt the Han Dynasty is." Huangfu Song nodded and said.

Not long ago, outside Luoyang City.
In the distance, on a high slope with bright lights, Dong Zhuo was riding on the White Wolf beside the emperor's carriage, looking at the army in the distance surrounded by countless round flames.
"Is this the royal army that you so-called loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty have been waiting for?" Dong Zhuo turned his head and asked the many ministers behind the emperor's carriage.
The ministers dared not speak out, only one old minister pointed at her with a trembling hand: "Dong thief, you will not die well!"
A tall and mighty general beside him was about to raise his sword when he saw this, but Dong Zhuo raised his hand to stop him.
She smiled and looked at the old minister: "You keep calling me a 'thief', but I still respect the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The reason why I am not supported is only because of my background."
"I am not a descendant of three generations of ministers, nor am I the daughter of a famous general, nor am I a royal relative." Dong Zhuo responded with a cold brow.
"In the eyes of you guys, I am just a barbarian from Xiliang. This is my 'original sin'!"
"You say I'm a thief, but aren't these rebels even more thieves if they want to take over Luoyang by taking advantage of my name?"
"This Jizhou governor Han Fu is like a drunkard who doesn't even know the most basic military tactics. There are many people like him in the prefectures and counties of the country and in the court who only have greed in their eyes and no ability at all."
Dong Zhuo found himself getting a little angry. At this time, Li Ru beside him also said, "Prime Minister, calm down..."
"Forget it." Dong Zhuo waved his hand. "When I was still a minor official in Xiliang, I knew one thing: wolves and cattle and sheep are not the same thing. The law of the jungle is the way to survive. The cattle and sheep that can survive the hunt are the good ones with strong legs."
"Since you want to rebel against me, let me see how many hundreds of thousands of troops you have."
Just as he finished speaking, Jia Xu beside him suddenly looked into the distance: "Over there in Luoyang... is that... a fire?"
Dong Zhuo and everyone else turned around and immediately saw flames rising from the direction of Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned.
The next moment, a piece of news of galloping reached Dong Zhuo's ears.
"Report! The Luoyang granary was burned down, and General Lu was abducted by thieves!"
"What?!" Li Ru was shocked.
And Dong Zhuo was still in a daze.
"How is it possible? It's absolutely impossible. How could my Fengxian be kidnapped?!"
"How dare you lie about military intelligence? Come, drag him out and execute him!"

"Prime Minister, calm down!"
Just when Dong Zhuo was about to order the execution of the messenger, Li Ru stood up.
At this time, only Li Ru dared to stand up. No one dared to offend Dong Zhuo. Only a veteran like him could make Dong Zhuo listen to him.
At this time, Li Ru also understood the importance of the granary and Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo, but the battle at hand was equally important.
"Calm down? How could our granary be burned when it is located in Luoyang City?" Dong Zhuo said coldly, "It can only be the enemy's spy."
The messenger soldier who was ordered to be executed by Dong Zhuo immediately fell off his horse trembling and knelt on the ground.
"Tell me quickly, why is this happening?!" Li Ru immediately shouted at the silent and trembling soldiers.
This was the soldiers' last chance to survive, and he quickly told Dong Zhuo all the news he had received when he left Luoyang.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo and his advisers and generals were all stunned.
"Not only did they burn down our granary? They also defeated Lu Bu and took away the general?" Li Ru frowned.
It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo did not believe it when he first heard it. If it were anyone else, they would probably not believe it either.
But Li Ru also understood that things had already happened. The flames shooting up into the sky and the soldiers running in panic to report the news showed that these things had already happened, and the consequences might even be worse now.
"Prime Minister, the enemy may still be in Luoyang City, but our priority now should be to encircle and annihilate Han Fu's army. We must not lose our composure."
Dong Zhuo certainly understood this principle: "But do you want me to just ignore those little thieves?"
"Especially since Lu Bu was abducted."
Dong Zhuo's expression at this moment was filled with unprecedented rage and an urge to try out the machete in his hand.
"With Lu Bu here, I will be safe in the court. With Lu Bu here, the anti-Dong coalition forces will not be able to slow down suddenly, not to mention being able to rely on his name to guard the army."
Dong Zhuo valued Lu Bu so much that it was even more important than the destruction of the granary.
"Tell me quickly, is the thief who defeated Lu Bu still in Luoyang city?" Dong Zhuo asked the trembling messenger again.
"Reporting, reporting to the Prime Minister, he should still be there. Before I left, there were more than a dozen teams chasing him. Now, he might have been captured."
"Take him down?" Although Dong Zhuo was extremely angry at this time, he still understood the basic logic.
"Those people couldn't even stop Fengxian, how could they be captured by the soldiers guarding the city?"
Dong Zhuo quickly made a decision. Although a large number of troops were needed on the front line to maintain the encirclement and annihilation, she also had to chase back the thief killed by Lu Bu.
If anything unexpected happened to Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo would be totally unable to accept it at this stage.
So she quickly gave the order and dispatched 10,000 elite troops to head towards Luoyang where flames were rising into the sky.
Today, she vows to kill all those who question her and oppose her.

In Luoyang City, Liu Zhaoqing had no idea that so many people were paying attention to him.
At this time, she was with Zhang Liao and her daughter, wandering around the streets of Luoyang, trying to get rid of the enemy team.
But this is almost an impossible task for them.
Because as long as the other party shouted, the people carrying General Lu were right in front, and their position would be exposed completely.
"My benefactor, how long do we have to run?"
When the three of them climbed over the wall and ran away, Zhang Liao beside Liu Zhaoqing asked.
Liu Zhaoqing was unable to give an accurate answer at this time. If Liu Zhaoqing had followed the original plan, he should have reunited with Cao Cao by now.
Precisely because he wanted to expand the results of the war, he had to face many disadvantages, either among civilians or in secret.
"We have to give Dong Zhuo some time to react and take on more of Dong Zhuo's support troops on the front line."
Liu Zhaoqing said to Zhang Liao.
"And now, if what I expected is true, Dong Zhuo must know what we have done." Liu Zhaoqing ran while looking at the moon in the distance.
"We must destroy the first batch of reinforcements sent by Dong Zhuo. If we do this, Dong Zhuo will send more reinforcements."
"When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to circle around them and find a chance to destroy them."
What Liu Zhaoqing expected turned out to be pretty much right. They soon discovered that the soldiers chasing them had been replaced by Dong Zhuo's well-equipped frontline troops from ordinary soldiers stationed in Luoyang.
Obviously, Dong Zhuo had been tricked.
"You bold thief! Put down Lu Bu and surrender!"
Hearing a loud shout from behind, Liu Zhaoqing ran even faster.
He also signaled to his daughter to prepare to deal with the person who was shouting. In Liu Zhaoqing's impression, Dong Zhuo's generals did not seem to be as many as his advisers.
But soon, Liu Zhaoqing discovered something. After they walked a few feet forward, they could see a new scene, and even several lines of soldiers appeared one after another from the side.
That was not a display only after he opened a membership, but it meant that the first batch of rescue soldiers sent by Dong Zhuo was extremely large in number.
Liu Zhaoqing decisively told his daughter to give up the assassination attempt, as it was too dangerous. Even if it succeeded, it would put his daughter in danger. Obviously, it was a better idea to entrust her with the task.
Soon, Liu Zhaoqing found himself surrounded from behind and on both sides by pursuing soldiers in official uniforms.
A more decisive breakthrough is needed at this time.
Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhang Liao to find the right time and rush in the direction with the least number of people.
Liu Zhaoqing and his daughter followed closely and directly eliminated all the people in the group of troops supporting Dong Zhuo.
This just happened to open a gap for them to escape, but soon Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao both discovered that the number of soldiers Dong Zhuo transferred from the front line was actually increasing.
After at least 15,000 troops entered Luoyang, Liu Zhaoqing and his group had almost no chance of avoiding the assassins.
No matter how much they utilized their advantages, it was impossible for three people to directly annihilate nearly 20,000 enemy soldiers.
That would be possible only if the soldiers were like Liu, Guan and Zhang, who were facing ordinary people.
"We need to hold on for a while longer." Liu Zhaoqing's eyes flickered as he spoke, "We must make Dong Zhuo's family restless."
Just 15,000 support troops were not enough to satisfy Liu Zhaoqing.
After Liu Zhaoqing's team killed a small group of Dong Zhuo's troops who came to support them, he suddenly came up with a plan. He took some blood from the enemy's corpse on the ground and put it in his hands, and then smeared some on the cheeks and legs of the unconscious Lu Bu.
Looking from a distance, it would be easy to mistakenly think that Lu Bu was seriously injured.
More importantly, let Dong Zhuo know that he has many generals but only Lu Bu. If he doesn't do something, it will be too late when Liu Zhaoqing kills Lu Bu.
Sure enough, Liu Zhaoqing's prediction was correct.
After Dong Zhuo learned that Lu Bu was in a bad condition, he saw that the siege battle ahead was difficult and it would be difficult to make any progress in the short term.
Ignoring Li Ru's objection, he again dispatched 10,000 troops to support Luoyang.
Liu Zhaoqing could also clearly feel that the number of pursuers was increasing.
It was not until later, when all the walls and houses in front of her were destroyed, that Liu Zhaoqing saw a tall and mighty general riding a black horse appear in front of her.
"Hua Xiong?"
As the leader of the alliance, Liu Zhaoqing had read the detailed information about Dong Zhuo and knew that he had such a general, as well as his vague image, which was exactly in line with the man in front of him.
"Who sent you here? Who are you?" Hua Xiong asked Liu Zhaoqing and others indifferently.
Liu Zhaoqing and the others naturally would not answer.
After Zhang Liao, Liu Zhaoqing and his daughter cooperated and fought Hua Xiong several times, Hua Xiong, holding a long sword and his warhorse, was forced to the wall. Then he understood why the lord wanted to mobilize these three guys so much.
Afterwards, Hua Xiong was not a person who would just sit there and do nothing. He immediately raised his hand and signaled all the troops that were looking for Liu Zhaoqing to gather together.
Since Liu Zhaoqing has the ability to defeat Lu Bu, it is better not to confront him head-on.
