Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191
The princes from all walks of life led troops to search wantonly in the palace, Liu Bian didn't bother to pay attention to them, and then ordered Li Su to lead the remaining 3000 troops in Hongnong City to settle down in the palace, and asked Yu Ji to ask Yuan Shao for some food and grass Supply the soldiers and horses for food, and rest on the spot after the men and horses are full.

In the big tent, Liu Bian, Yu Ji, and Li Su were sitting on the ground, discussing the matter just now.

"Young master, all the princes from all walks of life are ambitious people, and they have no good intentions. Luoyang City has been burned to ruins by the fire. It is useless for them to come, so they pretend to return it to the young master. If we accept this Luoyang Even if they help the Kanto princes to block a gate for no reason and become a necessary place for Dong Zhuo's counterattack, once Chang'an is stabilized, Luoyang will definitely fall into war again." Yu Ji stroked his long white beard, and said with a thoughtful look: "According to the veteran's opinion, we might as well withdraw our troops back to Hongnong, collect all the people who were displaced by the war in Luoyang, and bring them to Hongnong City. According to the current development of Hongnong City, it should barely be able to accommodate them."

How could Liu Bian not know the thoughts of the princes?As Yu Ji said, from a strategic point of view, this Luoyang is now like a chicken rib, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.You said it was lost, it was the ancient capital of several dynasties at any rate, and the surrounding land was fertile and flat; it could be used, but Dong Zhuo's Chang'an was staring at it, and there were no people to rely on, so it would end sooner or later.

Of course, neither the princes nor Yu Ji knew that the Han Dynasty had a treasure in the Luoyang Palace. They all thought that the treasure in the palace had been robbed by Dong Zhuo long ago. How could they have thought that it was a place passed down from generation to generation by the Han Dynasty?
"Your Highness, I don't think Dong Zhuo will counterattack Luoyang." Li Su said suddenly after hearing what Yu Ji said.

"Oh? Tell me your opinion." Indeed, according to historical records, Dong Zhuo did not return to occupy Luoyang after burning Luoyang, but developed Chang'an with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, Li Su could guess Dong Zhuo's thoughts. It made Liu Bian look at him with admiration.

After all, Li Su has followed Dong Zhuo for a long time, so he analyzed Dong Zhuo's weakness in a blink of an eye: Although Dong Zhuo was a tyrannical man, he had no ambition to dominate the world. Most of the Xiliang iron cavalry have fallen into the wine and meat village, and their combat effectiveness has long been inferior. Even Li Kuo and Guo Si have become like that, let alone other small soldiers. Apart from one militant, no one else wants to gallop on the battlefield.

Chang'an City is no worse than Luoyang, even worse, so what's the use of taking back Luoyang?
Listening to Li Su's explanation, Liu Bian finally understood. No wonder the hundreds of thousands of brave Xiliang army was defeated by some miscellaneous soldiers gathered in Hulao Pass. It seems that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry has already died. .

"In this case, let's stabilize Luoyang first." Liu Bian smiled: "Didn't the princes from all walks of life promise to give us some food and grass for each of them, and Yu Lao will be responsible for recruiting them and guarding Luoyang with them first. Li Su, take the 1000 troops from Hongnong City Headquarters to visit Sishui Pass, and I don’t know if Pan Feng is still guarding Sishui Pass.”

Both Yu Ji and Li Su nodded in agreement and each took orders.

When Yu Ji and Li Su went back, Liu Bian immediately opened the big tent, and issued an order to the death knight Hua Xiong who was guarding outside the tent, Hua Xiong came out leading two undead horses.

Turning over and riding on the horse, Liu Bian and Hua Xiong walked out without any soldiers.

After a whole day of fighting, the city of Luoyang has been bloodied into rivers and corpses are strewn all over the field. Not only the soldiers from both sides, but also the innocent people have died too much. Therefore, ghosts are flying and howling in the sky of the whole city at this time, and there is a gloomy cloud A bleak picture.

There are tens of millions of corpses already lying down in Chengzhong, Luoyang, and the plague is rampant recently. If Liu Bian doesn't suck their souls away as soon as possible, it is estimated that corpses will turn into corpses in a few days. That's why he came out at night, intending to perform the art of summoning souls and merging them into fire of dead souls.

After only a few steps away from the camp, Liu Bian felt as if there were two eyes secretly staring at him, but when he looked back, he saw nothing.

But as a necromancer, his intuition told him that someone was following him!

"Hey!" Liu Bian sneered, his eyes turned pale when he lowered his head and raised his head, and when he scanned the eyes of the dead, he suddenly found a figure not far behind, who was vaguely familiar. Shuangbian, hiding behind a broken wall, has obviously been spying for a long time, monitoring every move of Liu Bian and the others here.

Huang Gai!

A name suddenly popped up in Liu Bian's mind. Isn't this man in front of him Huang Gai, one of Sun Jian's four great generals? He has seen this man twice, and he is very familiar with the pair of iron whips.However, Sun Jian's subordinates were indeed inferior enough. When they joined forces, they were no match for Hua Xiong. Liu Bian couldn't help but secretly despise the people in Soochow.

Seeing Huang Gai tiptoeing around, Liu Bian looked at Hua Xiong beside him, and suddenly made a plan.

Huang Gai must have been sent by Sun Jian to monitor the situation in his barracks. At this time, all the princes were there, so Sun Jian must have been very careful, so he had no choice but to send his generals as spies to inquire about the situation. Maybe he wanted to learn about the situation from himself. some type of.

He originally planned to let Hua Xiong go and chop off Huang Gai directly, which can be regarded as chopping off one of Sun Jian's arms, but if Huang Gai really died outside his camp, there was no guarantee that Sun Jian would not entangle him. If he wanted to kill Sun Jian, wouldn't he cause a lot of trouble?

"Just remember, after staying for another hour, turn left 500 meters from here, and then go straight ahead, you will see a big hall there. There is an ancient well in front of the hall. If there is no one around, you can Send confidant soldiers down to salvage "Liu Bian said to Hua Xiong with a voice that was not too big or too small, just for Huang Gai to hear, while talking, he looked around vigilantly, pretending to be afraid of being noticed: "Remember , Don’t leak any news about this matter! Otherwise, you will be killed! Well, you go out and prepare ropes and other things, go back quickly!”

Hua Xiong and Liu Bian were originally on the same mind, but at this moment they received Liu Bian's order, and immediately bowed slightly to express their understanding. After the two sang together, Hua Xiong rode away alone, while Liu Bian glanced at Huang Gai out of the corner of his eye, Knowing that he had heard the matter, he didn't rush to collect the soul fire, and returned to the tent again.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Bian and Hua Xiong left, Huang Gai walked out from behind the broken wall, and looked in the direction Hua Xiong was leaving with some puzzlement. He was obviously familiar with this person who seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't figure it out. Where have you seen it.But at this time, the big thing is the "things in the ancient well" that Liu Bian said, so he didn't think about it anymore and left quickly.

Not long after Huang Gai returned to Sun Jian's camp, he heard Sun Jian laughing a few times, and then a small group of people quickly left the camp with hooks and locks, and rushed to the ancient well.At the same time, the troops sent by Sun Jian's subordinates to search the palace hall were recalled urgently and began to tidy up.

And the ancient well that Liu Bian was talking about was exuding a burst of peach fragrance, which began to slowly spread to the surroundings.

Under the moonlight, the scene of peach blossoms flying all over the sky floated out of the well, which looked very extraordinary.

This scene immediately fell into the eyes of Sun Jian and the others, and they were stunned. With such a sky-ruining landscape, there must be something unusual below. Sun Jian was overjoyed on the spot, and quickly sent people down to salvage the well.

Not long after, a female corpse in palace clothes appeared outside the well.His hands are like claws, showing every bone, holding a brocade box in the middle, inlaid with jewels and jade, shining faintly under the moonlight, it is not an ordinary thing at first glance.

Sun Jian suppressed the joy in his heart, and gently opened it to take a look. Inside was a simple and unadorned jade seal, the four corners of which had been broken and inlaid with gold. God, both life and prosperity" eight insect and bird seal characters!
