Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 143 Move the capital to Chang'an

Luoyang, Xiangguo Mansion.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were dark and frightening.He leaned forward, put his hands on the desk, and roared: "What's going on, what's going on? Why did you come back alone? How did Li Jue and Guo Si die? The tens of thousands of Xiliang troops alone, And the elite 'Flying Bear Army' under Gu's command, how could they all fail? Say, I don't know, Gu will let you die today."

Bursts of roars, like the roar of a wild beast, echoed in the hall.

Lu Bu knelt in the hall, his heart was cold.

He is Dong Zhuo's adoptive son, and he thought he had some kind of family affection, but he didn't expect that his status in Dong Zhuo's heart was so low, it turned out to be the result of "life and death".In Lu Bu's heart, his help to Dong Zhuo's status is incomparable. Without him helping Dong Zhuo solve Ding Yuan, there would be no Dong Zhuo today.Therefore, hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu was already very unhappy.

However, Lu Bu didn't show it, he kept his head down and didn't speak.

Dong Zhuo was even more furious, slapped the desk, and said in a deep voice, "Say, what's going on?" Thinking of the place of anger, Dong Zhuo stood up brazenly, with a clang, the long sword at his waist was drawn out.

"Crack!!"

With a slash of the sword, the desk was split in half.

Dong Zhuo became even more angry, pointed his long sword at Lv Bu, and roared loudly: "Say!"

Lu Bu sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Reporting to Xiangguo, this is what happened. Last night, the camp caught fire suddenly, and then the soldiers in the camp started to put out the fire, but when they put out the fire, they found that Li Jue was killed, and Guo Si was also killed. And at this time, the coalition forces actually broke through the Hulao Pass, and that's how it happened."

In fact, Lu Bu said this no less than five times.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't believe it.

Such a situation is too strange for such a thing to happen.

Sitting next to him, Li Ru suddenly asked, "General Lu, tell me what happened in the camp during the day."

Lu Bu recounted what happened during the day before the fire. It was nothing more than military training, etc., and nothing else happened.After Li Ru listened to it, he analyzed it carefully, but Li Ru still didn't find anything suspicious.Therefore, Li Ru asked again: "What happened the day before, please tell General Lu carefully."

"Yes!"

Lu Bu carefully finished what happened the day before, including the news that he led his troops to battle and was defeated.

Li Ru's eyes lit up, and he said: "Carefully explain the situation of dispatching troops and defeating them!"

When Lu Bu saw the light in Li Ru's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the army's defeat had something to do with him?No, absolutely impossible!Lu Bu comforted himself again and again, inhaled and exhaled several times to calm down his mind, and then carefully explained the situation of leading troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, but finally failed in an ambush in Cao Cao's camp.

After listening, Li Ru gradually grasped the context of the matter, and asked again: "What is the so-called cooperation between the inside and the outside? You didn't report it."

Lu Bu was helpless, and said the matter again.

"I see! Oh..."

Li Ru sighed softly, and looked at Lu Bu sympathetically.

This baby is a tragedy!

Li Ru turned his eyes and cupped his hands at Dong Zhuo, "Xiangguo, the reason for the defeat this time is that when General Lu led his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao ambushed General Lu, but he didn't kill them all. He deliberately let General Lu retreat back. At that time, Cao Cao ordered people from the allied army to be placed among the retreating soldiers. After General Lu returned to the camp, he did not check the soldiers one by one, so the people hiding in the retreating team assassinated Li Jue and Guo Si and set fire to them. Burn the entire camp. Although I don’t know how the other party did it, but if they are connected in this way, it will be clear together.”

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo screamed angrily.

Tens of thousands of troops!

He strode up to Lu Bu, pointed the long sword at Lu Bu's throat, and shouted, "What do you say now? If you hadn't impulsively led troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, the tiger prison would be unbreakable. Now the army has been defeated. , Hulaoguan was destroyed, and the coalition forces came aggressively, what do you want us to do? Stupid, idiot! Waste!"

Dong Zhuo was furious in his heart and kept yelling.

At this moment, Lu Bu really lowered his head.

I didn't expect that it was really caused by him, and everything started because of him.Lu Bu felt sad, and said helplessly: "The final general was eager to do meritorious service for his adoptive father, but he led to the destruction of the army. Ten thousand deaths cannot be excused, and he is willing to accept the punishment."

"Damn you!"

Dong Zhuo shouted, "Come here!"

The soldiers ran in quickly, Dong Zhuo scolded: "Pull it down, behead it!"

Lu Bu let the soldiers drag him out, but at this moment, Li Ru remonstrated, "Wait a minute!"

Dong Zhuo asked, "Wenyou, what do you want?"

Li Ru took a deep breath and said: "Xiangguo, Li Jue and Guo Si were killed, and tens of thousands of troops were destroyed. The matter has been completed, and it will be useless to pursue the responsibility. Killing General Lu can only be the speed of relatives and enemies. At present, we have to do The most important thing is to focus on the present and eliminate the consequences of the matter. We will fight against the coalition forces in the future, and General Lu's martial arts skills are superb, and he is enough to deter the coalition forces. Therefore, I suggest that General Lu be left to take the blame and make meritorious service."

"Humph……"

Dong Zhuo snorted, his expression was cold.

Lu Bu knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Father, please allow the child to take the blame and perform meritorious service."

Li Ru said again: "Xiangguo, give him a chance!"

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Capital crimes are inevitable, but life crimes are inevitable! If you drag it on, you will be punished with thirty military sticks." When this order was issued, Lu Bu hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. He had no doubt that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him. If Dong Zhuo's path is blocked, no matter who it is, he will be ruthlessly killed, not to mention that he is just the most inconspicuous adoptive son under Dong Zhuo's command.

The soldiers dragged Lu Bu down, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, and said worriedly, "Wen You, there is no Hulao Pass, and the coalition forces are coming again, how can we resist?"

Li Ru said confidently: "Xiangguo, with Luoyang's situation, I'm afraid we can't stop it. It's not that our troops are not enough, it's because many courtiers in the court surrender to us on the surface, but secretly have other thoughts. They have lived in Luoyang for generations. Yang has a deep foundation in Luoyang, once the coalition forces come, these people will definitely use their own strength to help the coalition forces open Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo agreed very much, and quickly asked: "Then what should we do?"

"Move the capital to Chang'an!"

Li Ru narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "We moved the capital to Chang'an. On the one hand, Chang'an is close to Xiliang, which is good for our defense; Ping, it is difficult to pose a threat; finally, moving the capital can better demonstrate the majesty of the prime minister, so that the courtiers will be intimidated, and the emperor will be obedient."

With a deep smile on Dong Zhuo's face, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Wen You, you are really the brains of Truth. With you, Truth's hegemony is as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Ru leaned forward and said, "Xiangguo is absurd!"

After a pause, Li Ru continued: "About Lu Bu, I hope that Xiangguo can win over this person. This person has great ambitions and talents, and he is not enough to achieve great things. But Lu Bu's martial arts are amazing, but he can become the sharpest weapon in Xiangguo's hands."

Dong Zhuo said: "Gu understands, Wen You is at ease."
