Chapter 158
Hu Chi'er, originally a Hu man, belonged to Yuezhihu, and his name was Chi'er, but everyone in the army used to call him "Hu Chi'er", so he took Hu as his surname.

Hu Chi'er stepped forward and said: "Although Zhao Qian's army is coming fiercely, it is close to the troops in the city and cannot be stopped at all. Therefore, we must send people to Chang'an and ask the grand master to send troops to rescue them."

Niu Fu nodded, and said: "Your words are true, Anyi City is the throat of Chang'an, the Grand Master will not abandon it."

Therefore, while stepping up his defense, Niu Fu followed Hu Chi'er's suggestion and sent people to Chang'an in the starry night to ask for help.

The same is true for the other two cities. Dong Yue and Duan Wei sent people to Chang'an to ask for help.

When Dong Zhuo received an urgent call for help from Chang'an Grand Master's Mansion, he quickly called Li Ru over to discuss countermeasures.

Li Ru looked at the military newspaper, frowned, twisted his goat's mustache, and said: "Taishi, the three cities of Huayin, Anyi, and Mianchi can defend the princes of the Guandong, and they must not be lost. If the three cities are lost, Chang'an will be exhausted." Under the eyes of the princes."

Dong Zhuo was also worried, and sighed: "I also know that the three cities are important, but at this time I have no soldiers under my command, how can I save them?"

"Teacher, you can call back Generals Wen Hou and Li Guo to retreat from the enemy respectively," Li Ru said.

Dong Zhuo hesitated a bit, and said: "Yesterday, my son Feng Xiangang dispatched a fast horse to report that within five days, Jincheng will surely be broken, and the army will enter Liangzhou. Withdrawing the army at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of success!"

Li Ru was a little anxious, and said: "Although Liangzhou is vast, the people's customs are not pure, and it is useless to gain it; if the three cities are lost, Chang'an's gate will be opened wide, and if the princes enter the army, they will come here overnight. I hope the grand master will learn from you!"

Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, and said angrily: "It's a shame that Ma Teng and Han Sui can't be captured to Chang'an, so as to relieve the old man's hatred!"

Li Ru continued to persuade: "Then Ma Teng and Han Sui are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Let them be raised in Liangzhou. After Zhao Qian is repelled, it will not be too late to get rid of them."

Dong Zhuo finally nodded and said, "Okay, according to Wen You's words, I immediately ordered Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si to withdraw their troops to resist Zhao Qian and Yuan Shao's army."

"The grand master is wise!" Li Ru bowed and saluted, and immediately turned around and left the grand master's mansion to give Dong Zhuo's order.

In the afternoon of that day, a fast horse galloped towards Jincheng in Liangzhou, changing horses constantly during the process, and finally arrived at Lu Bu's camp.

After Lu Bu saw Dong Zhuo's military order, he immediately invited Li Jue and Guo Si to discuss it together.

After Li Jue and Guo Si came to Lv Bu's tent, Lv Bu said directly, "You two generals, after receiving the military order from your adoptive father, we ordered you to return to the army immediately."

"Why is this?" Li Jue asked, "This Jincheng is about to be captured, why does the Grand Master want us to withdraw our troops?"

General Lu Bu handed the order to the two, and sighed: "Zhao Qian and Yuan Shao sent troops to Mianchi, Anyi, and Huayin together. The situation is urgent. My foster father asked us to return to the army to rescue."

Guo Bang snorted coldly, and said: "When we arranged for the generals to guard the city, we shouldn't have let those three go. If there's no use, we'll know how to ask for help."

Li Jue gave Guo Si a white look, and said: "A Duo, don't talk too much, those three are the grand master's confidantes, and Niu Fu is the grand master's son-in-law, in fact, can you and I compare?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, interrupted their complaints and said, "Okay, stop talking, pack up your troops and go back to the army."

"Marquis Wen is really going back?" Li Jue asked.

Lu Bu nodded, and said as a matter of course: "The military order is here, how can we not return it?"

Guo Bang snorted coldly, and said: "Marquis Wen, the so-called generals are not allowed to accept the orders of the foreign army. Now that the city is about to be broken, why not conquer Jincheng first, make a great contribution, and then go back to the army to save those three wastes, how about it?"

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" Lu Bu hesitated, "What if they fall before we rush over?"

Guo Bang seemed very impatient, and said: "It's nothing to do with us if they can't defend well. As long as they capture this golden city, it will be a great achievement."

Lu Bu was also a little hesitant. Although he was Dong Zhuo's adoptive son in name, he could also feel that his status was far inferior to that of Li Ru and Niu Fu.

Just when Lu Bu was hesitating, a person beside him flashed over and said, "Marquis Wen, don't hesitate, return to the army as soon as possible."

Lu Bu was taken aback, and raised his head to see that it was his general Gao Shun, so he asked, "What advice does General Gao have?"

Gao Shun said: "The grand master ordered us to return to the army. The military situation must be urgent. Kuang Huayin, Anyi, and Mianchi are the throats of the East. If something goes wrong, Chang'an will have nothing to defend. When the time comes, the grand master will blame him. Is it possible for the general to take it?"

Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun had always been loyal, and he also knew what Gao Shun meant. Although he was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, he was a surrendered general from outside, not like Dong Zhuo's confidant.

"General Gao is right. This Marquis has decided to return to the army tomorrow and save Hedong!" Lu Bu decided.

Li Jue and Guo Si glanced at each other, feeling quite helpless, after all, it was Lv Bu who led the attack on Ma Teng and Han Sui this time, and they needed to obey Lv Bu's orders.

Lu Bu sent an order to prepare for the camp and build the camp. Li Jue and Guo Si also returned to the camp and were ready to go.

Li Jue returned to the tent, feeling a little depressed, as if he had made some military achievements, but now he lost everything.

At this moment, a person walked in outside the tent, saw Li Jue sitting on the side sullenly, and asked, "I see General Li's complexion is dull, what's the matter?"

Li Jue looked up and saw that it was Jia Xu, the military counselor, and said, "Wen He, the grand master sent a military order to withdraw our troops, alas!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu quickly asked, "Is there something wrong on the east side?"

Li Jue looked at Jia Xu, nodded, and said, "Wen He expected it. Today, Zhao Qian and Yuan Shao sent troops together to attack Anyi, Mianchi, and Huayin. That's why the Taishi issued a military order and sent us back to rescue them." .”

When Jia Xu heard this, he quickly said: "If this is the case, the general should prepare quickly and return to the army as soon as possible. If the three places are restrained, Chang'an will be in danger."

Li Jue was usually very polite to Jia Xu, when he saw what Jia Xu said, he nodded and said, "I will clean up according to Wen He's words and prepare to return to the army."

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The Grand Master has ordered that all the troops must rush back to the division. General Li can choose elite troops to lie in ambush on the road as the rear hall, in case Ma Teng pursues his troops."

After hearing this, Li Jue found it very reasonable, so he called Yang Feng, a general under his tent, and ordered him to lead [-] elite soldiers to lie in ambush on the way back to the army, waiting for the pursuers.

After everything was ready, the army of Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si began to retreat at full speed in the early morning of the next day.

In Jincheng, a spy immediately came to report: "Prefect, Governor, Dong Zhuo's army has retreated!"

After Ma Teng and Han Sui heard this, they immediately went to the city wall, and they found that the barracks in the distance were empty.

"Meng Qi must have invited Zhao Qian's army to help." Ma Teng said, "Wen Yue, you guard the city here, and I will lead the army to chase and kill to relieve the evil spirit in my chest!"
