Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 678
Lv Ying led a large army across the Hangu Pass and directly joined forces with Xu Huang's two armies to break through Li Siye's stronghold. Li Siye led the defeated army and had no choice but to retreat to Chang'an.

The [-] army marched straight in, and when they arrived at the foot of Chang'an, Li Shimin had just returned to the army.

Chang'an, which was once prosperous, is now extremely depressed with few people on the streets, and Li Shimin, who just rushed back, looks terrible and ugly in the palace hall.

Staring at the officials in the hall, all of them lowered their heads as if they were afraid of being angered, and there were also some people who secretly laughed.

It has to be said that Li Shimin is a hero, and his years have been unfavorable. Since the mutiny, he has not caught up with the stability of people's hearts, and he has fought again and again. It can be said that there are countless people waiting to see the joke.

If it develops smoothly, Li Shimin has enough confidence to regain this group of people, but God did not give him this time.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and in a hurry, he can only kill chickens and take eggs. He vigorously supports his own line of civil and military, and spares no effort to suppress the rest, especially those in power who have no mercy at all.

Because time is too late, once his heart softens, who knows if he will be betrayed under such circumstances.

Li Shimin was aggrieved, he obviously never thought of being so ruthless, but the situation forced him to do so.

"General, outside the city is Lu Bu's son Lu Yu in command, leading a hundred thousand troops."

The aggrieved Li Shimin snorted heavily, although his heart was about to burn, but he couldn't show it on his face.

"Everyone perform their own duties. What is a mere [-] enemy soldiers? I have joined forces with Liu Bian of Jiangdong. In less than half a month, hundreds of thousands of troops will leave Wancheng to attack Wuguan. At that time, we will face a situation where we will be cut off from the rear. I'd like to see how Lu Bu's son reacts."

I have to say this sentence instantly stabilized people's hearts, especially when people with other thoughts heard it, their hearts suddenly tightened. If it was true, then Liu Bian sent 10,000+ troops to attack Wuguan, and Lu Bu would really retreat.

Once Wuguan is taken down, soldiers and horses will be blocked in front of Hangu Pass, and Lu Bu's [-] troops will have no way out.

"Report~General, Xu Rong led [-] troops to enter Guanzhong and conquer the city."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was even more furious. He slammed the table and roared, "Where is Tongguan? What does the guard of Tongguan do for food!"

"That Xu Rong was cunning. First he set up his army outside Tongguan, but he secretly sent General Yu Wencheng to smuggle across the Yellow River from Pujin. After breaking into the Lihao camp in Guanzhong, Xu Rong's army crossed the Yellow River and entered Guanzhong along the route."

When he said this, the young general was even more hesitant, and finally said anxiously: "The Tongguan general found out that it was too late, and he was shot and killed by random arrows when he was in ambush when he sent troops to fight."

Li Shimin was even more out of breath when he heard it, and his face was even more frightening, but he didn't know that his heart was full of panic, and Tongguan was gone.

In other words, Xu Rong's army will be able to kill Chang'an in a short time, or wreak havoc in the Guanzhong area.

At this time, Li Shimin felt his hands and feet were cold, and the cold sweat was pouring out from the palms of his hands and soles of his feet. There was no natural danger in Chang'an Pass, but he had to face the 10,000+ tiger and wolf troops from the Central Plains.

"Where's Lu Bu?" Finally, Li Shimin took a deep breath, calmed down the panic in his heart, and asked plainly, but his tone was trembling.

"Reporting to the general, Lu Bu has led an army of [-] to Yanzhou, and Yecheng's follow-up army of [-] is closely behind."

When he heard that Lu Bu rushed to Yanzhou and did not lead his troops into Guanzhong, Li Shimin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Bian from Jiangdong stopped him. If Lu Bu attacked with all his strength, let alone him, he would be an alliance with Liu Bei It may not be able to stop this tiger.

"Order all the ministries to prepare their troops and horses, King Hongnong's army will go north in a few days."

promise!
In the eventful autumn, the war in Guanzhong continued, and the invincible Lu Bu even pointed his troops at Guanzhong. The fall of Hangu Pass and Tongguan completely put Li Tang in Guanzhong in a passive position.

Guanzhong, where people were already panicking, was even more unstable at this time. Liu Bei on the front foot hadn't left yet, but Lu Bu came on the back foot.

Li Shimin and Liu Bei stopped their troops to make peace, and Liu Bei led an army of [-] to return to central Shu to stabilize the situation. Although the southern barbarians were in chaos, it may not affect his rule for a while.

However, there are 10,000+ soldiers and horses left in Longxi and Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang is the leader of these soldiers and horses.

It can be said that Liu Bei is the last courageous person among the princes in the world. The 10,000+ army is all dispatched by a military division, and of course there are various generals among them.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Luo Cheng, Qu Yi, and Ma Chao, it can be said that although everyone admires Zhuge Liang's ingenuity, they will not become Zhuge Liang's people.

Zhuge Liang was even more aware that in order to avoid suspicion and accept Ma Chaoshi, he said that this person was afraid of betraying the Lord. When Qu Yi came to vote, he said that this person was unruly, and the remaining three were all Liu Bei's confidantes, which was impossible betray.

It seems that Zhuge Liang is in control of the three armies, but if he really wants to rebel, hehe~ Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Luo Cheng and other arrogant soldiers will not be obedient.

This is Zhuge Liang's cleverness. He is in charge of soldiers but not generals, and he listens to Liu Bei's words even more.

That's why Liu Bei was relieved, but Zhuge Liang was extremely relieved no matter what. For such a lord, he didn't have the intention of rebellion. It can be said that Zhuge Liang, a mere literati, achieved the position of commander-in-chief of the first army.

However, the situation in the Central Plains was in chaos. Liu Bian in Jiangdong was furious and dispatched troops. Xue Rengui led 20 troops to station in Wancheng, and Yue Fei led [-] troops to directly attack Yuan Shu in Huainan.

Lu Bu, who had just arrived in Yanzhou, directly ordered general Zhang Liao to lead [-] troops to support Li Jing's army, and Yang Lin led the troops to come from Qingzhou.

The world is in chaos!

In just one month, the originally peaceful world was instantly filled with flames of war, and wars broke out in Wancheng and Huainan.

There are dense military camps outside the city of Chang'an, and flags with the word "Lv" fluttering in the wind everywhere, and people in the city are even more terrified. In just two years, the prosperous Chang'an has become depressed due to the invasion of war.

Li Shimin on the top of the city looked solemnly at the army in military uniform. Lu Yu's [-] troops were stationed outside the east city, and the other three gates did not have any barracks.

It seemed easy, but the tens of thousands of cavalry became the most important threat, making Li Shimin frown. Li Tang, who had been fighting for several years, did not have many cavalry under his command.

"Listen, people in the city, my great king sent millions of soldiers here to fight against the traitor Li Shimin, and to recover the territory of the Han Dynasty. If you open the city and surrender quickly, you can still save your life."

"The Li family has brought disaster to the country and the people, especially that Li Shimin who killed his brother and forced his father. You are all good men. Do you want to serve such a villain?"

The army under the city kept shouting, and the soldiers and horses in Chang'an themselves were panicked. After hearing this, their hearts trembled even more, and they all secretly looked sideways at their general Li Shimin.

To say that Li Shimin's reputation is really notorious now, it is not an exaggeration to be cast aside by the world.
