Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

Chapter 209 Alarming the Grand Master's Mansion

It was three poles high in the sun, and the two reluctantly left.Zhao Ji sat on the carriage, smiling all over her face, unable to restrain her inner joy any longer.The maid reminded in a low voice: "Madam, let's go in through the back door of the Grand Master's Mansion. Madam's demeanor, even those who don't understand can understand Madam's mood."

"What are we afraid of? None of us are afraid. With Lord Dudu as his backer, Biluo is not afraid of anyone, but Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Li Ru and others?" Zhao Ji said happily, smiling happily, her expression was extremely charming, and that A satisfied look, but it can't be concealed from others.In the end, she followed the maid's advice and quietly entered the harem through the back door.

After returning to the bedroom, Bi Luo sat on the chair and smiled foolishly until the maid came in with tea, as if she came to her senses, and said happily, "Bi Luo has never been so happy since she grew up, and she feels very safe. Although you She is a maid, but she is also an incomparably beautiful lady, from now on I will let you have a taste of being husband and wife with Lord Dudu, I am really happy to die."

Zhao Ji has four personal maids, and she is able to keep her innocence because of her protection. She is grateful to Zhao Ji and is her absolute confidant.At this moment, the two maids around went to the secret house together to meet Zheng Yu. They blushed when they saw Zhao Ji say this, but they quickly nodded their thanks, and a seed was planted in their hearts.

Next, Zhao Ji followed Zheng Yu's instructions and started to get busy. She handled the Grand Master's Mansion, especially the harem affairs in an orderly manner, and all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

But he said that Li Ru sent fifty cavalry to escort him out of the city gate to Luoyang to report to Dong Zhuo. The secret letter was also seized.Li Rucai sent the officer away, and sat on a chair thinking about things, but he was not at ease. Soon, he sent people to go outside the city to conduct a secret investigation on Lv Bu's garrison.

He was taken aback by the spies' reports.

"My lord, at least 5000 of Lu Bu's [-] garrisons outside the city have secretly entered the city. Currently, his subordinates are in various barracks in the city. Among them, the barracks in the north are completely deserted. Now they are all [-] soldiers of Zheng Yu's subordinate Zhao Yun. The cavalry is stationed, at least half of the cavalry has been withdrawn from the west, and part of the troops from the two barracks in the southeast have been transferred into the city. It is obvious that Lu Bu transferred troops into the city without the permission of the Lord. The intention is very obvious, and the Lord should make up his mind."

Li Ru sat on the chair, speechless for a while.

He didn't have a cold for Lu Bu at all. This kind of gossip, who is always the son of the son against the father, is no different from rubbish in Li Ru's eyes, but this guy is not only strong in martial arts, but also knows how to flatter and flatter Dong Zhuo. Trust him a lot.Prior to this, Li Ru asked Dong Zhuo to take Lu Bu to the front line in Luoyang, but in the end Dong Zhuo still left Lu Bu to guard Chang'an.

Li Ru was wary of Lv Bu, but he didn't expect Lv Bu to go so far. He took advantage of the extremely favorable opportunity when Dong Zhuo's main force was entangled by the Kwantung princes, and wanted to seize Chang'an and control the government.Li Ru thought to himself, it must be the idea of ​​an old guy like Wang Yun.

"Even if the grand master returns to the master, it will be too late. We should consider the issue of withdrawing from Chang'an. As the saying goes, if you leave the green hills there, you will not worry about no firewood. You can ask Mrs. Zhao Ji whether the treasures she is responsible for preparing are all safe. Loaded into the carriage? Let's transport the main treasures of the Grand Master's Mansion out of the city as soon as possible, and immediately transport them back to Xiliang's lair. These are the things that the Grand Master has worked so hard to get. If there is any mistake, we will bear the blame. "

The Grand Master's Mansion responded quickly, and then went to the harem to discuss with Zhao Ji. Li Ru immediately called his generals to the Grand Master's Mansion to discuss the matter of withdrawing from Chang'an.An hour later, guards from all over the country came to the meeting hall of the Grand Master's Mansion one after another.

Li Ru said solemnly: "The situation in Chang'an is treacherous and ever-changing, and Lu Bu has made a change. This is beyond Confucianism's surprise. At present, in Chang'an City, we only have [-] horsemen, and Li Xiang's [-] imperial guards. The opponent has Lu Bu's [-]-step cavalry, Zheng Yu's nearly [-]-step cavalry, and Huang Wan's [-]-step cavalry are also gathering, trying to threaten Chang'an. We are already at a disadvantage in numbers, and the main force of the Grand Master is far away in Luoyang. Water can’t quench your thirst, so it’s time to think about the way out. Chang’an must not be guarded! But we’re not at the end of the mountain, and we’re convening today to think about what to do next?”

He informed the generals of the situation in Chang'an, the comparison of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the crisis they faced and the preliminary plan to withdraw from Chang'an in the next step. Everyone talked a lot. They were forced to leave by Lu Bu, and they were naturally unwilling.

"Before the grand master left, he told the imperial palace not to be lost, and the grand master's mansion must be kept safe. But now both places may be lost, what should we do? If the grand master returns to the master, we can't explain it." A general said, he Shi's face was full of anger, wishing to kill Lu Bu, of course, this was just a gesture, it was really not easy to kill Lu Bu.

"I advocate withdrawing, and we must withdraw quickly! The situation is like this. If you are lucky, everyone will die. Lu Bu's troops have been fighting for many years, and they are the elite of the army. Not to mention Zheng Yu's generals, their fighting power is terrifying. The enemy When we are strong and we are weak, it is still the best policy to avoid it, and your lord must make a decisive decision, otherwise there will be changes." Another general advocated withdrawing from Chang'an immediately. "As long as the grand master returns to Chang'an, we will immediately return to attack Chang'an, and Chang'an is still ours. This is called advancing by retreating."

……

The meeting lasted for half an hour, and among the generals, there was a clear majority who agreed to withdraw from Chang'an.

Seeing this, Li Ru stood up and said, "Let's retreat then. In order not to disturb Lu Bu and Zheng Yu, we must retreat in two batches. The first batch is mainly to escort hundreds of vehicles back to Xiliang with the hidden treasures of the Taishi Mansion. To completely annihilate Lu Bu's more than 500 cavalry in the west of the city, open the west passage for the entire army, and ensure the safety of the follow-up troops' retreat. Ru plans to send [-] cavalry to cover the convoy and set off tomorrow night."

"What about Mrs. Zhao Ji? Do you want to leave first with the convoy?" a general asked.

Li Ru shook his head and said: "It is better for Madam to leave with the second echelon. Other people and items in the Grand Master's Mansion must not be moved. Otherwise, it will immediately attract the attention of Lu Bu and others, which will definitely affect the overall retreat plan. As long as the army and the treasures of the Grand Master's Mansion are kept , What power and women do not have? I will personally tell her about Madam, and she will understand. "

After the meeting, Li Ru hurried to the harem to meet Zhao Ji.

He told Zhao Ji about his retreat plan, and decided not to disturb the others in the Grand Master's Mansion. Zhao Ji took the second echelon to leave Chang'an after the first echelon left the city and occupied Lu Buximian Barracks. "The second echelon is our main force, including the [-] guards in the Grand Master's Mansion, and Li Xiang's [-] imperial guards, a total of [-] cavalry, which is enough to protect the safety of Madam and other Madams. .”

Li Ru looked serious when he spoke, and Zhao Ji knew that this matter could not be changed. Seeing that it was the case, she could only say: "Bi Luo will retreat with the second batch, but please, Mr. Li Ru, must capture the Lu Buxi barracks and promise to let us It's safe on the way to the west."

"Don't worry about that, it's just that the loading of treasures into cars has to be accelerated."

"Please don't worry, my lord. I will let you take away the most valuable items first. The three hundred cars will be packed and loaded tomorrow night. There will be no delay. I will take the remaining [-] cars of lesser items with me personally. Withdrew from Chang'an with the second echelon. Alas, it's a pity that this Grand Master's Mansion is quite comfortable to live in."

Zhao Ji sighed, looking lonely.

Li Ru hurriedly comforted, "We are retreating temporarily to avoid the sharp edge. When the grand master returns to Chang'an, this grand master's mansion is still ours. Hmph, maybe even the palace is ours."

"Do you want to take Emperor Xian away?" Zhao Ji asked a new question.

Li Ru shook his head, "The imperial palace is captured by Zheng Yu. Even 5000 people may not be able to capture the imperial palace. Once we are entangled, we will not be able to escape. Therefore, it is better not to alarm for the time being, and Li Xiang's five thousand guards , it is mainly used to protect the wife, not to be used for other purposes. Besides, after the Grand Master returns to Chang'an, the Emperor Xian is still ours, and we are worried that he will fly away?" After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly, seemingly proud of himself.

"It seems that this is the only way to do it. Then the next arrangement will be hard for you to plan and worry. Zhao Ji is a woman, and she is good at housekeeping, but she is helpless in leading the army to fight. I want to keep a few more obedient ones." The generals came to guard the Grand Master's Mansion, what do you think?" Zhao Ji made a condition and appointed a few generals, Li Ru naturally agreed.For him, as long as Zhao Ji is willing to leave behind cover, everything else is easy to talk about.

Li Ru rushed away happily, while Zhao Ji sneered at his back, and said to herself: "This bastard, I think I have successfully plotted against my old lady. Hmph, wait and see, who died when I saw it?" After speaking, she sat back on the chair , drinking tea, looking relaxed.

Li Ru left Taishi Mansion that night and rushed to the army to take charge of the preparations for the retreat.

In order to direct the battle nearby, Zheng Yu returned to the palace and used Emperor Xian's study as a temporary headquarters.Emperor Xian sat next to him with great interest, watching Zheng Yu arrange this and that, while Wang Hua served tea and water on the other side of him, waiting attentively.

After Zheng Yu returned to the palace, he immediately notified Zhao Ji secretly.When Zhao Ji learned of Li Ru's whole plan, she ordered one of her personal maids to come to the palace to report to Zheng Yu dressed as a court lady.

"Is this woman trustworthy?" Wang Hua reminded after Zhao Ji's maid retreated.

Zheng Yu nodded quickly and said, "Xiaoyun has seen this maid before, so she can't be wrong. She is reliable, and Li Ru's plan is also reasonable. So decisive, this is Li Ru, and it is the best contingency strategy at present. , This is the so-called "going first" in the 36 strategies, but unfortunately we want to go ahead of Li Ru."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked with interest: "Are we sending troops to destroy it?"

Zheng Yu laughed happily, then shook his head and said, "We won't send troops. What I want is the Grand Master's Mansion. Let the Xiliang soldiers let Lu Bu deal with it. The treasure of three hundred carts is enough for Lu Bu to be tempted. He will definitely send troops. Chase."

Hearing the treasure of three hundred carts moved Wang Hua's heart, and then he sighed and said, "It's a pity, these are the treasures of the people of Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo has burned, killed and looted everywhere in the past few years. It’s cheaper for Lu Bu. It’s Li Ru who keeps all the women, hehe, maybe he will be skinned by Dong Zhuo.”

"If you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost; if you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive." Zheng Yu sighed, but this sentence is too profound, it is impossible for Han Xiandi and Wang Hua to understand, and Zheng Yu did not Explain again.In fact, the three hundred carts were full of big stones, but it cannot be said at this time that many of these treasures are treasures in the Luoyang Palace. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty must feel uncomfortable after talking about it, and Zheng Yu does not want to return these to the royal family. .

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not interested in treasures, but Dong Zhuo's life. He took Wang Hua's words and said: "Perhaps, even Dong Zhuo's life can't be saved, so how can you skin Li Ru? I think Li Ru slipped away first. Really cunning. Hmph, most of the evil things Dong Zhuo did were done by Li Ru, and the Young Emperor was killed by Li Ru himself. It would be a pity if he slipped away because of this."
