Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96, kill Fan Chou and capture Li Ru

Cao Hong led [-] troops to follow the Xiliang army, and besieged the more than [-] Xiliang army on the half way.

The two armies fought for a while, and the morale of the Xiliang army was greatly reduced. They were rushed and killed by Xiahou Dun and others, causing countless casualties.

Hua Xiong clenched his teeth, and fought with a long knife in his hand.

Fan Chou's face was ferocious, and he roared loudly, "General, lead your troops to rush out, and I will block that guy."

Then he greeted Xiahou Dun with a long knife in his hand.

Xiahou Dun was the number one general under Cao Cao's tent, and his fighting power was extremely strong. He killed Fan Cong with just three shots, and was about to go to kill Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong had already led Baiqi out of Cao Jun's siege and galloped towards Luoyang City.

Seeing that Xiahoudun was about to lead his troops to rush out, Cao Cao said calmly, "Don't chase after poor bandits, and let them go back to pass the letter with a defeated general."

This time the allied forces broke through the [-] Xiliang army, and their morale was greatly shaken. Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others returned to the camp one after another, feeling overjoyed.

Liu Bei led the remnant soldiers back to the barracks, and when he arrived in the army, he yelled, "Cao Mengde, you bastard, why did you break the appointment and cause me to lose more than [-] soldiers?"

Lu Bu's face moved slightly, he looked at Cao Cao, and asked with some doubts, "Why is this?"

Cao Cao took a step forward and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, "Brother Xuande, how can I, Cao Mengde, miss my appointment? This time we beheaded more than [-] Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the vanguard general Fan Chou of the Xiliang Army. How can it be considered a failure?"

Liu Bei wanted to cry but had no tears, "Before the formation of the three armies, we have already agreed to send troops together, why didn't you send troops?"

"Haha, brother Xuande, I was wrong this time, but Xiliang iron cavalry have always been brave, I knew they would break through, so I set up an ambush halfway and beheaded thousands of Xiliang soldiers. Brother Xuande should use The bigger picture matters.

The Xiliang iron cavalry is the elite of the Xiliang army, and only by defeating their elite troops can their spirit be broken.Of course, I also know that brother Xuande has suffered heavy losses, but I, Cao Cao, are definitely not those kind of treacherous people. How about sharing half of the Xiliang iron cavalry equipment we captured with you, those Xiliang war horses, weapons and equipment are all treasures."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei showed a look of joy on his face, "What brother Meng De said is true."

"If it is fake, you can send someone to our army to pick it up later."

In fact, Cao Cao had already made up his wishful thinking. He planned to give Liu Bei all the remnants and weak horses and broken weapons and armor captured this time.

At this time, Guan Yu led Guo Yu, Zhou Cang and others into the room.

Behind him was an escort, with disheveled hair, wearing a robe, and dressed like a scribe.

Everyone looked puzzled, "Yun Chang, who is this?"

The scribe raised his head slightly, and said flatteringly, "Hello, generals."

Cao Cao recognized it first, and said loudly, "Li Ru?"

Guan Yu nodded and said, "It is Li Ru, the accompanying sergeant of the Xiliang Army."

"Haha, General Yun Chang is really powerful. This Li Ru is Dong Thief's think tank, he can be called his right-hand man. This time you took Li Ru, it was like cutting off Dong Zhuo's arm. I think you can just pull it down and chop it off." Let's go," Cao Cao said with a smile.

Guo Jia stepped forward and bowed to Li Ru, "Guo Jia in Xiayingchuan, I have heard the name of brother Wenyou for a long time."

Li Ru nodded slightly, and said softly, "I have admired you for a long time."

Guo Jia then said to Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, brother Wen You is a scribe, how can he be so rude, let him go quickly."

At first, Lu Bu thought that Guo Jia wanted to recruit Li Ru. Although Li Ru was known as Dong Zhuo's think tank, Lu Bu never cared about it.

Xiang Guan Yu nodded slightly, and Guo Prison had already broken the rope on Li Ru with a halberd.

Li Ru hurriedly bowed to the generals with a flattering face, trying to save his life.

Guo Jia went on to say, "Brother Wen You is Dong Bandit's right-hand man. You must be very important to Dong Bandit."

Li Ru was a little afraid of death, so he smiled bitterly and said, "It's not important, it's not important."

"Oh, since it's not important, let's drag it down and chop it off."

Seeing the two soldiers coming, Li Ru hurriedly said, "It's important, it's important."

Guo Jia said again, "If you want to survive, you can write a letter to Dong Thief and ask him to send you ten thousand taels of gold and two hundred war horses, and we will let you go back. If Dong Thief is unwilling, then It proves that you are not important to him, just kill him directly."

"Okay, okay, I will write a letter for Dong Xiangguo right now."

"Snapped"

Zhang Fei slammed the whip on Li Ru's body, and his skin was torn apart instantly, "What Dong Xiangguo is called Dong thief".

Li Ru was in pain for a while, and said again and again, "Yes, yes, Dong thief."

At this moment, everyone understands that Guo Jia is really good at planning. If he kills him directly, he will lose everything. He can make a deal with Dong Zhuo. If he is willing to send ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred war horses , Let it go, Guo Jiazhi is a hundred times better than him.

If Dong Zhuo was unwilling, it would not be too late to kill him.

Hua Xiong led [-] troops to the battle, and only brought back a few hundred Xiliang iron cavalry. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he immediately ordered Hua Xiong to be imprisoned.

Not long after, Dong Zhuo received a letter from Li Ru, and became even more angry in his heart, kicking the table next to him away.

Niu Fu, Guo Si said, "Master Xiangguo should keep his body, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, next time we win and come back."

Dong Zhuo panted heavily, "You know what, hurry up and prepare ten thousand taels of gold, two hundred horses to send to the Allies, and redeem Li Ru back."

"Ten thousand taels of gold, two hundred horses? How can Li Ru be worth so much?" Guo Si said.

"If there is no Li Ru, who will advise me, can you do it?" Dong Zhuo growled angrily.

Guo Bang swallowed his saliva and said nothing more.

Although the battle was defeated this time and almost the entire army was wiped out, Li Ru did advise Dong Zhuo and made a lot of contributions. Without Li Ru, Dong Zhuo would not have been able to sit where he is today.

The news that Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei had defeated the Xiliang army of more than [-] troops instantly resounded like a thunderbolt through the surrounding counties and counties, restoring the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

When the princes of the four directions heard the news, they were worried that Lu Bu and others would really invade Luoyang City and rescue the young emperor.

At that time, let's not talk about rewards for meritorious deeds. If the young emperor gets angry and blames them for refusing to send troops to eliminate the thieves, then it will be difficult to explain.

However, most of the princes want to make achievements in this battle and expand their territory.

Not long after, the princes of the four directions sent letters one after another, saying that they responded to Cao Cao's edict and would come to the alliance soon.

By this time, Lu Bu had completely understood that Dare to Love was just a foreplay before, and now it is the real Eighteenth Route Princes' Alliance.
