When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 289: Once Huang Zhong's arrows are aimed at you, not only you, but even your horse will be killed.

"Prime Minister Dong, this is not good! Something terrible is happening!"

"When we lead the army to pursue Chen Shuzhi!"

"Tens of thousands of infantrymen appeared in the twilight!"

"The scouts learned that it was Liu Xuande's army!"

The soldier knelt on one knee, his voice trembling and his face full of worry.

"What?!" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, "Are you serious?!"

"My scouts saw it with their own eyes."

The confirmed bad news shocked Dong Zhuo so much that he staggered back several steps and accidentally fell to the ground.

"Prime Minister Dong——"

All the soldiers cried out in surprise. You know, even when facing the bows and crossbows of the Hu people, Prime Minister Dong had never lost his composure like this.

The pale-faced Li Ru was the first to react. He used all his strength to help Dong Zhuo up, while shouting:
"You are all brave and extraordinary men, why are you so panicked!"

"Everyone go out and calm down!"

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. What did they hear? Let them out?
Someone stood up and wanted to say something.

Dong Zhuo finally recovered from his loss of composure and waved his hands at the soldiers, "Get out! Didn't you hear what Wen You said?!"

Facing Dong Zhuo, even though the soldiers had other thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to show their dissatisfaction on the surface.

As the saying goes, a man's power remains even after his death, let alone the fact that Dong Zhuo is still alive?
"promise"

All the soldiers retreated, leaving only the man who had just spoken.

This man's surname was Fan and his given name was Chou. He was a captain under Dong Zhuo.

"Wenyou, what should we do in this situation?" Dong Zhuo cast a worried look at Li Ru.

Li Ru naturally understood what Dong Zhuo meant. Xu Rong, the most outstanding general in the army, was defeated by Liu Xuande and fled without fighting.

Of course he knew that this was not the case, but unfortunately he could not stop the common people from spreading the rumor like crazy. Even though he was in poor health, he had heard similar rumors, especially from novelists. They were like dogs that follow the wind, adding fuel to the fire and making the situation worse and worse. The common people already hated Dong Zhuo, so in this way they all cheered for Liu Bei. As too many people were affected, Dong Zhuo did not have much time left to deal with the common people after he hunted down suspicious scholars.

In addition, Li Ru was a little confused. How did Liu Xuande know their location?

Even though he was exhausted, Li Ru still brainstormed and continued to think.

The attack by Chen Shuzhi, a subordinate of Zhang Fei, was not unexpected.

With tens of thousands of troops setting out, even if he was extremely cautious, he still set up a false attack to confuse outsiders.

But who in the world can know everything? It is not uncommon for people to discover clues from clues.

The fire in Luoyang was able to stop the advance of Guan and Zhang's armies, thus fulfilling the original plan.

But how did Liu Xuande, who had not yet set foot in Luoyang, know about their movements, and why did he react so quickly?
The truth comes out.

Spy.

There is a spy in the army, and this person must be in a high position and can know his plan first.

This person is very different from what he actually is.

This person will definitely play a crucial role in determining the direction of major events.

Even because of this person's "worry", they surrendered without fighting.
Now there is only one person who meets this condition.

'Niu Fu.'

Li Ru already had a plan in mind, and his eyes became increasingly cold.

Fortunately, his thoughts only lasted for a moment. Facing Dong Zhuo's question, he said with difficulty: "Mingming, Master, Uncle Chen's attack on the camp was not a whim. We must find out whether the emperor is safe and whether anything important is missing."

Dong Zhuo nodded vigorously.

"Besides." Li Ru looked at Fan Chou and instructed: "General Fan Fan, please reject the rhetoric just now, claiming that it was a rumor spread by the scouts. If it happens again, the arrogant person who spread such rumors will be beheaded, and then money will be used to encourage the infantry to fight, and the enemy's head will be used as a bounty to stimulate the morale of the three armies. Ahem."

"Wenyou!" Dong Zhuo supported Li Ru with his backhand.

Fan Chou could understand the meaning of Li Ru's words. He knew that he was going to risk everything and fight Liu Xuande to the death.

There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and he looked at Dong Zhuo with some concern.

Li Ru's illness made Dong Zhuo have no time to worry about Fan Chou, but at Li Ru's reminder, Dong Zhuo made a decision.
"Just follow Wenyou's advice."

"promise."

Fan Chou clasped his fists and walked out of the tent.

Seeing that no one was around, Dong Zhuo finally expressed his worries.

"Wenyou, do you really want to fight Liu Xuande here?"

"If Guan Yu and Zhang Yide solve the Luoyang fire, we will be in danger."

"Ming Gong," Li Ru sighed, "Liu Xuande has always played by unconventional means. Previously, Chen Shuzhi, who was unknown, was able to overcome the night and make us anxious. Who knows what shocking things Liu Xuande, who is bent on killing you and me, will do?"

These words really touched Dong Zhuo's heart. All the ministers in the court talked about the interests of their country and family, but who would have thought that Liu Xuande was serious and even cared about the mere chief of Qiandu, which caused his brother to die in great frustration.

However, it is such a person who can actually gain Guan, Zhang and Chen. How enviable!

Shaking his head to expel the thoughts in his mind, Dong Zhuo didn't want to play guessing games with Li Ru anymore, so he asked directly: "Wen You, what do you think I should do?!"

"Mingsir," Li Ru smiled on his pale face, and bowed slowly. "It's not good for cavalry to charge at night. Even Guan and Zhang have only a few thousand soldiers, and after being killed by us, most of them have been killed. In my opinion, Mingsir, it's better for you to lead the cavalry alone, retreat to Bingzhou first, and seize the power of Bingzhou governor. We will lead the infantry to intercept Liu Xuande's army for you!"

Dong Zhuo was no longer calm. He said anxiously, "Wenyou, how can I bear to abandon you!"

"Please don't say anything more, my lord. I know my body well. I can't bear the long-distance attack. I hope you won't hesitate on matters that concern your life."

Li Ru was deeply moved by Dong Zhuo's concern. Even though Dong Zhuo had ignored him before, he didn't care at all. He was able to have what he had today thanks to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo even married his daughter to him. In order to repay the kindness, what was wrong with cutting off the line of succession?

Of course, in Li Ru's eyes, both the people of Luoyang and the recruited infantrymen were consumables.

It is far less important than Dong Zhuo's life.

Dong Zhuo tried to fight for something, but in terms of verbal skills, even if there were ten Dong Zhuos tied together, they would not be as good as Li Ru. Li Ru made Dong Zhuo speechless with just a few words, so he had no choice but to go with the flow and agree, before Dong Zhuo could even utter the word "take care".

Li Ru said again: "Mingsir, I have something to ask of you."

"Wenyou, what's the matter?"

"I need you to help me find someone who looks like you. This person must be loyal and reliable."

"Wenyou, what are you doing?"

"Vision is obstructed at night. If someone pretends to be Ming Gong, there may be a chance of winning. Of course, to ensure Ming Gong's safety, rushing to Bingzhou and fighting should go hand in hand."

This is a lie, and no one knows whether Zhang Yide's words are exaggerated.

Is Liu Xuande really the most powerful general in Liangzhou?
Guan Yu, who ranks second, is so powerful, how powerful will Liu Xuande be?
However, Dong Zhuo obviously did not guess Li Ru's thoughts. He shouted

"Wenyou is truly my Zifang!"

"Wenyou thinks this plan is feasible, so let's follow Wenyou's advice!" "As for the person Wenyou mentioned."

Dong Zhuo frowned and thought. He muttered the name of the person who met the requirements, "Wang Hu? Zhang Yun? No, no, no, no."

As for Li Ru, he just sat aside and watched quietly.

Fortunately, it only took Dong Zhuo a breath to decide on the candidate.

"Niu Fu!"

"Niu Fu is also my son-in-law, so I think he is also Wen You's brother. I will instruct Niu Fu to respect you in everything!"

Hearing this, Li Ru smiled. This was what he had been waiting for. He said seriously, "Ming Gong, I will get along well with my brothers."

“Good.” Dong Zhuo stroked his beard, but he always felt something was wrong. Why did he emphasize the last few words of “Wen You” so much? Could it be that there was some other meaning?
But when Dong Zhuo looked up, he saw Li Ru's face full of determination, as if he was about to cut off his own arm.

This made Dong Zhuo feel a little guilty, and he thought slowly, it seems that I was worrying too much.

"There are two people whom you cannot trust."

"Who?"

"Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui."

Dong Zhuo thought that these two people told me about the scholar who deceived me, and they were great sages who were loyal and caring about the country.

Unfortunately, due to his guilty conscience, he finally said, "I know."

"I see."

Niu Fu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He looked at Li Ru with admiration. No wonder Prime Minister Dong asked me to listen to Wen You in everything. It turns out that Wen You wanted me to pretend to be Prime Minister Dong and boost the morale of the infantry so as to turn the tide of the battle!

As for Dong Xiang's whereabouts.
Even if Wenyou didn't say it, I could still get a glimpse of the whole picture from just a few words!
I think he must have gone around behind Liu Xuande and launched a surprise attack on him!

Thinking of this, Niu Fu clasped his fists and said, "Wenyou, just give me your orders. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will never refuse!"

"No problem, General. You don't have to worry too much. You just need to put on your armor and raise your sword when appropriate."

Li Ru's smile became even more intense. General Niu, General Niu, if you were a spy, I think Liu Xuande would have known through you that it was me who set fire to the city. It turns out that I am the biggest bait.

Just when Dong Zhuo left, the fighting between the two armies had reached a climax.

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts.

The morale of Dong's army rose instantly, and they launched the most fierce attack on the tens of thousands of infantry led by Huang Zhong.

But who is Huang Zhong?

He joined the army in his early years, always leading by example and training himself in strict accordance with reasonable methods.

Both his physical condition and martial arts were at their peak.

Put aside the emotional factors.

Even if it is Guan Yu, Huang Zhong has the confidence to defeat him!
Even if his archery skills are not as good as the Lu Bu in his dreams, it is only his archery skills that are inferior.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhong split the shield of the sword and shield soldier of Dong Jun in front of him in half with one sword. Taking advantage of the soldier's surprise, he shook his wrist and slashed the sword cleanly across the soldier's neck.

The spearman behind the sword and shield soldier took this opportunity to try to stab Huang Zhong to death, but Huang Zhong seemed to have eyes all over his body. He tilted his body and easily dodged the spear. As nimble as a monkey in the forest, he quickly stepped forward, swung his ring-handled sword, and cut off the spearman's head with one stroke.

Such skills instantly inspired Liu Bei's army around him.

They shouted Huang Zhong's name loudly.

"Huang Hansheng, Huang Hansheng!"

"Damn it, you thief, stop being so arrogant!"

In the melee, two generals rushed out under the protection of Dong’s sword and shield soldiers.

Under the cover of night, Huang Zhong could not see the faces of the two men clearly, but from his glimpse of their bodies, he could barely be considered sturdy.

However, Huang Zhong did not feel much. He had no idea how many of these people he had killed.

Huang Zhong's contempt immediately angered the two generals.

They shouted
"This is too much bullying!"

"I am Wang Hu, a military marquis under the Prime Minister!"

"I am Zhang Yun, a fake lieutenant under the Prime Minister!"

"Death!"

The two men led their troops to attack.

Even though Huang Zhong didn't take the two men seriously, he didn't dare to be arrogant at this moment.

He shouted at the top of his voice: "Comrades, form a battle formation!"

Liu Bei's army, receiving Huang Zhong's order, formed a formation in a short time without any delay. The sword and shield soldiers held shields in the front of the team, and the spearmen followed behind them. The spears were like poisonous snakes in the bushes, taking advantage of the gap between shields to launch an unexpected attack.

Even Wang Hu and Zhang Yun felt the situation was tricky.

The two battle-hardened men secretly thought that things were not looking good. If they continued like this, their morale would probably be ruined!

The two men said in unison: "In addition to the reward from Prime Minister Dong, I will reward you with a thousand coins for every person you kill!"

Morale finally improved, but before Wang Hu and Zhang Yun could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Huang Zhong take out something.

Wang Hu asked, "Captain Zhang, what is this person holding in his hand?"

"Let me see, Lord Wang, it looks like a bow and arrow to me," Zhang Yun replied.

"Bow and arrow?" Wang Hu laughed. "Shooting arrows at night? This guy must be crazy. We just need to block the torches from shining on him. Even if we give him a hundred arrows, he still won't be able to hit us!"

Zhang Yun nodded in agreement. He cast a disdainful look at Huang Zhong and said, "Marquis Wang is right. This man is just a spent force!"

A soldier suddenly said, "Marquis Wang, Lieutenant Zhang, I suddenly remembered who Huang Hansheng was!"

"Oh?" Wang Hu became interested. "Tell me about it quickly!"

Zhang Yun also pricked up his ears.

The soldier recalled the popular romance of Liangzhou, "This man's surname is Huang, his name is Zhong, and his courtesy name is Hansheng. I heard that he is the fifth-ranked fiercest general. He is so powerful with his iron fists that he was once as good as Guan Yu."

Zhang Yun curled his lips, "He's just a reckless man who can only use his fists. Why should I be afraid of him?"

However, the soldier's next words set off alarm bells in their hearts.
"Fists and kicks are not Huang Hansheng's strong points. Huang Hansheng's archery skills are superb. In Zhang Yide's words, he has reached the pinnacle. In terms of accuracy, he can hit the small branch of the halberd from a hundred steps away. In terms of power, it is enough to shoot into a boulder!"

"Shut up!"

Wang Hu turned hostile and kicked the man to the ground, shooting him into a boulder. Do you really think Huang Hansheng is Yang Youji? !

Zhang Yun smiled and helped the man up. "Marquis Wang has always been like this. Please don't be offended. I wonder if you know that Huang Hansheng has a weakness?"

The soldier shook his head. "The book only says that Huang Hansheng's arrows never missed their target. Not only will he escape, but he and his horse will be killed."

The expressions on Wang Hu and Zhang Yun's faces froze. At this moment, they felt cold sweat on their backs, their hair stood on end, and a great sense of terror arose spontaneously.

Because they saw Huang Hansheng draw his bowstring towards them.
　I accidentally touched it at night, and it resulted in all the writing being deleted, so it’s two-in-one again.
