Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 The Imperial Decree
The Xiliang Group led by Li Jue, Guo Fan, and Fan Chou were not discouraged, but started a discussion in the big tent. "Everyone, the situation is probably like this. Lu Bu's army has made sufficient preparations, has sufficient defense equipment, and relies on the high walls of Chang'an City to resist our army's attack!" Fan Chou said.

"That's right! Tonight, our army invested 1000 troops and carried out a comprehensive tentative attack on the entire city wall. The casualties were heavy, more than 5000 people! And Lu Bu's army is estimated to have only [-] casualties! That is to say, according to this If we attack ten or so times, we will lose more than [-] men! And Lu Bu will lose [-] to [-]!" Li Jue said, but his eyes were fixed on Jia Xu.

"Lü Bu is brave, but his soldiers are not. Our army has many soldiers and horses, and they go into battle for several days in a row. In this way, Lv Bu's army will be exhausted and embarrassed. What do you think?" Jia Xu said, and proposed a Let everyone's advice with confidence.

"According to this kind of attack, the city can be broken in five to seven days!" Li Jue estimated optimistically.

"What if we put in more troops, for example, the whole army stormed, what would happen?" Guo Fan was still a little unwilling. These days, if there are soldiers, there are princes, and the casualties are too heavy, which is not what he wants to see.

"In this case...the city wall is so wide, no matter how many troops are invested, it will be difficult to use it, and it will make the whole army stand by to fight, isn't it a bit bad?" Jia Xu said, without denying it, but expressing negative meaning.

Generals such as Li Jue and Fan Chou nodded in agreement and made a decision.

"The whole army is divided into three teams, attacking in turn! Starting tomorrow, I, Li Jue, will lead the attack during the day; Under the attack, within three to five days, the guards in the city will be unable to hold on!" Li Jue ordered.

"Promise!" All the generals took the order, all beaming, as if victory was just around the corner.

This chaotic night passed quickly.

In the morning, Lu Bu was suddenly awakened by the soldiers.

"What's the matter?" Lu Buqi asked.

"Report! Marquis Wen, a group of troops has arrived at the east gate. There are about several hundred people. The leader is very mighty and majestic. He asks us to open the gate!" the soldiers reported.

"Oh? Did he say who he is?" Lu Bu vaguely looked forward to it.

"He said that he is Xu Gongming, who received the imperial decree and came to serve the imperial court!" said the soldier.

Ha ha!Very good!The imperial decree of the emperor still has some weight. Xu Huang is a loyal man who followed Yang Feng in the Luoyang area. Now he is inspired to come here at the appointment. I, Lu Bu, have another general!
Lu Bu was overjoyed and very excited, "Did he use a big axe?" He also wanted to confirm.

"That's right!" The soldier thought for a while and replied.

"Okay! Wen Yuan, Wu Da, you pay attention to the movement of the Xiliang army, I will pick up a brave general who is comparable to you!" Lu Bu said to Zhang Liao and others, happily rode on the red rabbit horse, and headed straight for the east gate. go.

The gate of Chang'an City opened, and a warrior wearing a golden crown and gorgeous armor, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, rushed out with more than a hundred Bingzhou cavalry.

Xu Huang, who was holding a big ax and leading hundreds of people waiting anxiously, couldn't help being startled, he swung his weapon and was about to make a move.

"Wait a minute, Gongming! Don't you know me, Lu Fengxian?" Lu Bu laughed loudly.

"Ah! It's Marquis Wen! Why is Marquis Wen here? Does he know me?" Xu Huang was taken aback, wondering what to do.

"Xu Huang accepts the order!" Lu Bu knew exactly which set he was going to eat, and was well prepared!

"No! Xu Huang accepts the order!" Hearing this, Xu Huang quickly knelt down, and the hundreds of soldiers behind him also knelt down on the ground.

"I heard that there is a warrior in Luoyang, both civil and military, named Gongming. At a time when the world is in chaos, bandits from Xiliang are swarming in. When the country is in danger, Xu Huang is loyal and comes to Chang'an. I am very relieved! Bandit captain! Lead two thousand soldiers! Return to Fenwu General Lu Bu's tent, and help him defeat Xiliang bandits, so as to stabilize the capital and the court!"

Naturally, it was concocted by Lu Bu himself.

Cool!It's refreshing!Lu Bu thought happily while reading the imperial edict.

What a joy!No wonder everyone wants to be emperor!Hey, don't even mention it, the feeling of promulgating the imperial decree with the power of life and death in this hand is wonderful!Wonderful!

Holding power, controlling the court and the emperor, really has all kinds of benefits!The heroes of the world are in my hands!

No wonder, in history, Cao Cao had such a big initiative by coercing the emperor to make the princes, saying that you are a traitor, you are a traitor, and if you want to beat you, you can beat you!It would be even more perfect if there were no Wang Yun who was still in charge of the government, no three princes and nine ministers who held great power, no Huang Wan, the captain of Sili, and no Huangfusong and Zhu Jun who were loyal to the Han Dynasty!For the great cause, these people must be eliminated!Lu Bu thought secretly.

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty! Xu Huang complies with the order!" Xu Huang and the others were overjoyed, and traveled hundreds of miles to come here, isn't it just to get His Majesty's reuse and make a career!
"Gongming, please get up quickly! From now on, everyone will be Paozhe, and I hope Gongming will help me!" Lu Bu said politely, smiling.

"Promise! I will definitely serve the imperial court!" Xu Huang didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, Lu Bu is also a member of the imperial court, and he himself is also a member of the imperial court!He is a generation of famous generals, Cao Cao praised him as comparable to Zhou Yafu, but, politically, he still has some shortcomings.

"It's still tender! How can it compare to me, Lu Fengxian, who is old and cunning, hahaha!" Lu Bu was overjoyed.

Lu Bu led Xu Huang and his men into Chang'an City.

"Xu Huang listened to the order and ordered you to go to the Bingzhou Army, select soldiers, and together with the warriors under your command, form the Captain's Troop of the Thieves! 2000 soldiers! First train and be on standby at all times! Tonight, I set up Banquet, I will entertain you for a while, the military affairs are busy, and the war is critical, so let’s keep it simple!" Lu Bu ordered, once the status and status of the subjects are confirmed, they will not be changed easily.

"No! Thank you, Marquis Wen!" Xu Huang said.

But at this time, Ximen saw that Li Jue ordered his soldiers to bury pots to make rice, and the smoke from the cooking was curling up, and thousands of black smoke columns rose up, covering the wide fields outside the city.After eating and drinking, the people of Xiliang gradually began to prepare siege equipment, preparing for a new round of siege warfare!
After Lu Bu was busy with Xu Huang's work and settled them down, he came to the vicinity of the West City again.

During the war, there was hardly any rest time, and he was always worrying about the war day and night. This is what a prince who wants to make achievements in troubled times must go through.

Think about Yuan Shu, then think about Cao Cao, Lu Bu knows how to do his best.

"Report! Xiliang people have signs of attacking the city!" The soldier interrupted his meditation.

"What?" Lu Bu was taken aback, didn't they hurt them last night?Attacking the city again?It seems that this Xiliang Legion is really a tough nut to crack!
Lu Bu boarded the tower, watching the dark Xiliang soldiers and horses in the distance, his brows slowly wrinkled.
