The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Then the reason for deploying fake Lu Bu everywhere is very clear, that is, to warn and delay until the real main force ambush.

However, since the enemy was able to disguise himself as Lu Bu, the ambush must not be a normal large army.

Liu Zhaoqing stared at the distance. There was no one there, but there were a lot of trees and scattered rocks.

The seemingly ordinary scenery now looks extremely strange against the cloudy background.

These are the ambushes.

"Everyone listen! Prepare to meet the enemy!!"

Just after Liu Zhaoqing raised his sword and finished speaking, a large amount of black smoke suddenly floated down from the dark sky. The ordinary trees and stones around him suddenly changed and turned into soldiers holding weapons.

This is the real danger, these are Dong Zhuo's elite troops.

From a very early stage, these ambush troops had been moving towards Liu Zhaoqing, camouflaged with trees and rocks, making them impossible to detect in the hills.

While Liu Zhaoqing was on the road, these soldiers were also gathering secretly, and now it was time for them to appear and achieve results.

"What? Tree, the tree turned into a human?!"

When Dong Zhuo's soldiers appeared, the army was briefly in panic.

Zhang Liao was also very surprised, but he immediately ordered his men to prepare to meet the enemy.

"A rough estimate is that there are about 10,000 ambush troops here." Xun Yu said.

"Since they can use grass and trees as camouflage, it means that our whereabouts have been exposed. We must quickly eliminate them, otherwise Dong Zhuo's elite troops will surely continue to rush towards us."

"If we are trapped in a disadvantageous area, we may be in danger of being besieged."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded, he also understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Gao Shun and Zhang Liao! You two go guard the right wing!"

"Leave the left wing to Cao Cao, and the rear flank to Yuan Shao. Zhao Yun, you lead a hundred Yellow Turban riders to tear open their formation!"

After the order was given, the army engaged in battle with Dong Zhuo's ambush troops who had broken away from their disguise.

Although Dong Zhuo's ambush was too cunning, and was able to hide itself in grass, trees, and stones, fortunately Liu Zhaoqing discovered it in time.

The army quickly gathered their formation and then organized a counterattack in an orderly manner. After a short moment of disadvantage, they began to attack and crush the surrounding areas to the left and right.

The generals in the army were brave and good at fighting. Zhang Liao alone killed a hundred people, and the cavalry led by Zhao Yun repeatedly went in and out of these ambushes, disrupting them so much that they were completely unable to organize an effective defense.

Zhang Fei on Liu, Guan and Zhang's side was even more brave. He gritted his teeth and swung his spear at Dong Zhuo's soldiers as soon as he saw them.

It was all because of the long-awaited battle with Lu Bu, but I didn’t expect that the opponent was actually fake.

Zhang Fei was very angry at this time, so of course he took it out on these ambushes.

Soon, these ambushing troops were killed by the coalition forces and fled in all directions, leaving their weapons and armor behind.

Liu Zhaoqing managed to survive the crisis, but he did not relax.

While the battlefield was being cleaned up, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others all rode their horses to Liu Zhaoqing's side.

"Dong Zhuo is so capable. If we advance, don't we have to be on guard all the time to see if the plants and trees around us will turn into bandits in the next second?" Yuan Shao said with a frown.

"Compared to this, I am more curious about how Dong Zhuo possessed such ability." Cao Cao said with narrowed eyes.

"It should not be a gifted commander, otherwise, we will definitely be able to capture the general with the gift of commanding the army among this group of ambushes." Liu Bei was also thinking.

Liu Zhaoqing has a clear answer to this question.

"The evil god Qiongqi." He said.

"what?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Qiongqi has the ability to disguise itself and can even transform into a real dragon." Liu Zhaoqing's face darkened.

"When the previous emperor offered sacrifices to the heaven, it was because of Qiongqi's mischief that the subsequent misfortunes occurred."

"But Qiongqi is a fierce god rarely seen in a thousand years..." Yuan Shao said.

"Sister Benchu, have you forgotten that we have seen enough evil spirits?" Cao Cao reminded.

Not to mention a thousand years, in just the past hundred days they have seen two evil spirits in Luoyang.

Yuan Shao shook his head, knowing that Cao Cao had misunderstood her: "I don't mean to say that I don't believe that this was done by Qiongqi, but how could Dong Zhuo have the ability to drive the evil spirit?"

"It's not Dong Zhuo, but someone else." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be called Sima Yi."

"The man who brought disaster to the Han Dynasty as described by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the culprit who brought chaos and nearly reduced Luoyang to ruins."

Liu Zhaoqing's calm yet cold voice reached everyone's ears, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"How come I have never heard of this kind of thief?" Liu Bei said in surprise.

"This is where his cunning lies," Liu Zhaoqing continued.

"I originally thought that Dong Zhuo had other advisers around him, but now it seems that it must be Sima Yi."

"Dong Zhuo actually colluded with such a person. Doesn't he know the consequences?" Yuan Shao murmured, "Moreover, someone who can drive the evil spirit... is unheard of."

"It shouldn't be 'driven', otherwise he could just summon Chaos to devour us. Why bother with this?" Cao Cao deduced.

Liu Zhaoqing also nodded in agreement with this view: "It should be like the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall before, who established a 'sacrificial' relationship with the evil god in some way, and thus gained a trace of the evil god's power."

"As for the appearance of Chaos that time, it is also possible that Sima Yi used the evil spirit to his advantage."

"Use the evil spirit?" Liu Bei was even more surprised.

"From this perspective, the 'evil spirit' that Kong Jun encountered was most likely caused by him." Liu Zhaoqing nodded.

"Moreover, what Kong Rong encountered was most likely not the evil god itself, but some ability of the evil god. Otherwise, if it was the evil god's real body or clone that came, it would be impossible for anyone to come back alive."

These words made Yuan Shao and Liu Bei a little stunned. They didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would find such an ally in such a short time.

"Ha..." Cao Cao suddenly sneered when he heard this, "If that's true, then even ten Dong Zhuos can't tolerate this man's ambition."

Of course, Liu Zhaoqing had no doubt that Sima Yi in this world was more treacherous than he thought, and his ambitions and abilities were even stronger.

What Dong Zhuo did could not be described as "seeking the skin of a tiger", it could even be described as "a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth", and this "sheep" actually walked in front of the tiger on his own initiative.

However, how stupid Dong Zhuo's actions were was obviously not what Liu Zhaoqing needed to consider at this time.

If the opponent was Sima Yi, Liu Zhaoqing felt that they would have a greater chance of attacking Luoyang.

Because for Sima Yi, Dong Zhuo's existence was actually also an obstacle.

Sima Yi certainly did not help Dong Zhuo out of good intentions to consolidate Dong Zhuo's rule.

Judging from the predictions of Zhao Zhong and others, as well as what Sima Yi did, chaos in the world was what he most hoped to see.

Then he would definitely not help Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Liu Zhaoqing also guessed that Sima Yi was not only injured last time, but also attracted the evil god Chaos, which must have consumed a huge amount of his energy. He then used the power of the evil god to annihilate Kong Jun.

At this time, Sima Yi must be in a weak period, and Liu Zhaoqing must not wait for him to recover. If he hesitated or was afraid, and waited until he really recovered, he would be really fooled.

"Don't be too afraid of this man. The conditions for summoning the evil spirit must be extremely harsh, otherwise he would have overthrown the Han Dynasty and usurped the world long ago."

Liu Zhaoqing said to the crowd: "Let's work together and capture Luoyang. I will kill this thief who colluded with the evil to comfort the late emperor and the people of the world."

Chapter 322: Attacking the heart is the best, Huang Tianzhi Dong Zhuo's death 4k

The matter about Sima Yi was not heard by ordinary soldiers. Only Liu Zhaoqing, several advisers and important generals knew the truth.

Most of the other soldiers were only told that the fake Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's army disguised with grass and trees were all due to the enemy general's "natural gift in commanding the army."

Even in an age when anyone can defeat an ordinary tiger, supernatural powers will still make ordinary people and soldiers panic.

So there is no need to tell his soldiers so much detail.

Fortunately, Liu Zhaoqing discovered it early, otherwise these ambushes would not have been forced to appear so early.

Moreover, it is obvious that these soldiers and "Lu Bu" are just covered with a layer of camouflage. Their strength is still the same as before, and their thinking is still their own.

They will scream when pierced by a sword, and will run away when they are killed and have no weapons left.

This also shows that "Lü Bu" like the one in front of us may also exist in other places, such as among the garrisons at the pass south of Luoyang.

Its function is very simple, to delay and intimidate the anti-Dong coalition.

This also indirectly verified Liu Zhaoqing's guess that Sima Yi was not the incarnation of an evil spirit or a person who could control an evil spirit. At this time, he was so weak that he could only let Dong Zhuo's army do this to swell up their own strength.

However, Liu Zhaoqing also knew that he could not slack off because the other party had been planning everything when he was still a commoner and living in Pingyuan without any conflicts with the world.

After taking Yanshi, the coalition forces of Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao and others did not stop for a moment. They left a few soldiers to take over Yanshi and wait for the princes to come to support. After opening up the supply line, the army continued to head west.

Soon after they crossed a small hill, they saw the huge and majestic Luoyang city wall in the distance.

The huge city of Luoyang was like a giant black dragon lying on the ground, curled up with its eyes closed, and the rivers in front of it turned into small streams.

The black bricks on its body were like scales, invulnerable to swords and guns, and impervious to water and fire.

Luoyang City was not easy to capture because the coalition forces led by Liu Zhaoqing and others did not even carry siege equipment because they had to take a hilly route.

But what they need to face now is not the towering city wall in the distance, but the large group of silver-armored soldiers who are ready for battle in the near front.

At a rough glance, not counting the unknown number of troops in Luoyang City who could come out to support at any time, there were at least 20,000 troops waiting for them in front of the city wall.

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing's army could no longer change direction, as Dong Zhuo's army blocked their only way to Luoyang.

Standing on the hill, Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others looked forward.

"Strange, why are these soldiers not in the city, but blocking outside the city instead?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly.

Defending a city means defending the city, leaning against the city walls to defend against the enemy, using fewer resources in exchange for a large number of manpower reduction of the attackers. This is the correct way to defend a city and is also common sense.

Even without much combat experience, the swordsmen in the army all understood this principle.

"The defense of Luoyang City is extremely strong. Relying on the city defense, it should only take 5,000 people to defend against an army of 50,000 or even 100,000." Cao Cao said as he looked into the distance.

"Instead, they are willing to take the risk of greater casualties and come out to actively intercept us. Either it is because Zhao Qing burned the granary not long ago, resulting in insufficient food and grass in the city to fully defend the city, or it is because the enemy is confident that they will defeat us and feel that they can defeat us without relying on the city defense."

"As for food and fodder, a few days have passed, and Dong Zhuo must have dispatched all the food and fodder from the surrounding counties to Luoyang." Yuan Shao frowned, "Not to mention that Kong Jun was defeated, and the amount of food and fodder seized must be quite a lot."

"Look at it this way... Dong Zhuo thinks these 20,000 or so soldiers can stop us? Then why don't they take the initiative to attack now?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment: "Or maybe they are waiting for something."

"Zhaoqing, what do you think?" Yuan Shao asked Liu Zhaoqing at this time.

Liu Zhaoqing's eyes were fixed forward and he didn't say anything.

After both of them looked at him, he swung the reins slightly, causing the horse to turn around.

"We'll set up camp right here."

"Ah? Here?"

After a while, towards evening, the army's tents were almost set up.

On the hills, there were many patrolling soldiers led by generals such as Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun, who took turns observing the enemy's actions without stopping. On the small plain behind the hills was the main camp of the army.

At this moment, in the main camp, Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others were gathered together.

"The army has marched for hundreds of miles, breaking through two passes and capturing two cities, and the second half was on a rugged mountain road, so they need to rest." Xun Yu said, explaining to Yuan Shao why Liu Zhaoqing chose to set up camp on the spot.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly. In fact, before gathering here, Yuan Shao had met with Liu Zhaoqing alone. Liu Zhaoqing had already told her the reason, and she no longer had any doubts in her heart.

"So what should we do next? Just confront them?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Of course not, that would put us in a passive position." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head.

"Meng De is surrounded by many brave generals, and Sister Benchu's soldiers are all well-equipped and have high combat capabilities."

"These 20,000 soldiers are not an obstacle for us."

"But they won't just stand there and take the beating. Once we attack and gain the upper hand, they will definitely retreat back to the city."

"Then when we retreat, they will come out of the city again."

"As the battles continue, our army is gradually becoming exhausted."

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the two of them and said, "So, we need to take the initiative to attack Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City, instead of waiting outside the city or being fooled."

"Against Dong Zhuo? How should we do that? Our army has no wings, how can we fly over these 20,000 people and land in Luoyang City to kill the thief Dong?" Yuan Shao asked.

Cao Cao at the side also laughed at this time: "Sister Benchu, didn't you hear it? 'Attack' is just a metaphor."
