Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 72
Since the start of the allied forces, Sun Jian, as the vanguard, led the troops of the headquarters, and also showed due bravery.

Along the way, they were unstoppable, passed through the pass, and approached the Sishui Pass. For several days in a row, news of a great victory spread from the front to the allied forces.

The guard at Sishui Pass, hearing the battle report, was afraid of Sun Jian's bravery and that he would not be able to defend Sishui Pass, so he sent messengers to Luoyang to report and send reinforcements.

However, after Dong Zhuo abolished the new emperor and supported King Chenliu to ascend the throne to become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo took power, but he was having fun every day, and he ignored the affairs of the court, and threw them all to Li Ru. The prosperous Luoyang, the glorious The imperial palace, and the imperial court is his one-word hall, which has already worn away the ambition in his heart, and reduced him to a person who can only enjoy himself, and his waistline has grown several times.

Therefore, the emergency documents sent by Sishuiguan just fell into Li Ru's hands.

Li Ru was also haggard and worried during this period, but he went to Dong Zhuo immediately after receiving the emergency document from Sishuiguan, after all, it was not a trivial matter.

Dong Zhuo was also shocked when he heard the news that the allied forces were about to attack Sishui Pass. He didn't care much about the news of the alliance of princes before. He has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, so how could he be afraid of these alliances? However, they did not expect that they would be so fierce. A vanguard had already attacked Sishui Pass unstoppably.

Dress up quickly, summon the civilian officials and generals under your command to discuss countermeasures.

When everyone came together, Dong Zhuo didn't hide anything, and talked about this matter.

"My lord, don't worry! The princes outside the pass, I regard them as worthless. I would like to lead an army of tigers and wolves directly to Sishui Pass, and kill them all outside Sishui Pass, so as to shock the tiger!" One person stood up, domineering. Said.

From the looks of everyone, it was Ding Yuan's adoptive son Lu Bu Lu Fengxian who was currently the Marquis of Wen, no wonder he spoke so grandly.

Although Lu Bu really wanted Dong Zhuo and Li Su to die, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Bingzhou were still in Luoyang, and the alliance of princes came to attack Dong Zhuo. No matter what the reason was, he was now under Dong Zhuo's command and needed to serve Bingzhou. For the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Haha, I have Feng Xian, so why should I be afraid of people outside the pass!"

Li Ru on the side didn't take it seriously, he always felt that Lu Bu didn't sincerely submit to Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu's bravery was exactly what he needed, so he didn't refute Dong Zhuo's reuse of Lu Bu, but he still had a mind to be wary.

At this time, another person from the general stood up and said loudly: "'How can we use a ox knife to cut chickens?', don't bother with Marquis Wen, I can easily decapitate the heads of the princes, all I need is an elite army , you can put down the rebellion of the princes!"

Everyone saw that the speaker was nine feet long, with a tiger body and wolf waist, leopard head and ape arms, he was from Kansai, his name was Hua Xiong, and he was also a military general who often stood behind Dong Zhuo as a bodyguard.

Lu Bu also looked at Hua Xiong, but didn't say much. Hua Xiong knew about it, and turned to look at Dong Zhuo, waiting for Dong Zhuo's decision.

Hua Xiong also noticed that Lu Bu who had glanced at him was still a little afraid of Lu Bu in his heart. You must know that Dong Zhuo controlled a 20 Xiliang army, and he was the commander of the most elite Xiliang iron cavalry.

Liangzhou is connected to Bingzhou, and it is also a place that is often invaded by the Huns. I have always heard that Bingzhou wolf riders are mighty, and Lu Bu is also the commander of Bingzhou wolf riders. In addition, when Lu Bu joined, Dong Zhuo valued him a lot. Feeling unconvinced, he wanted to give Lu Bu a slap in the face.

But who knows, he doesn't even want to think about the ending, thinking about it now makes him a little terrified.

Even the generals who have followed Dong Zhuo for a long time, such as Li Jue, Guo Si, etc., did not speak, but silently waited for someone Dong Zhuo would send. You must know that when Lu Bu was not here, Hua Xiong was the number one general under Dong Zhuo's command. Otherwise, he would not always stand behind Dong Zhuo as a bodyguard.

And after Lu Bu came, they also knew that Hua Xiong wanted to give Lu Bu a slap in the face, and they even went to see it. Afterwards, they didn't object to Lu Bu's becoming Marquis Wen, who was more important than them.

Dong Zhuo looked at Lv Bu and then at Hua Xiong, feeling a bit undecided, so he said, "Wen You, what do you think?"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Dong Zhuo to ask him. He rolled his eyes and said, "I think what General Hua said is correct. The alliance of princes was formed temporarily. There must be different people's hearts among them. Everyone wants something. Preserve your strength, you won't go all out, so General Hua can go out to fight, and Marquis Wen can sit in the imperial capital to prevent those who are small and small from taking the opportunity to make trouble!"

That is to say, only he himself knows what kind of attention to fight, and when he knew about the alliance of princes, he didn't stop it at all and let it develop.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to arouse Dong Zhuo's fighting spirit with the oppression of the princes. As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and the most trusted counselor, he also knew that Dong Zhuo had changed and was no longer the Dong Zhuo he knew in Xiliang. So, at this time when the feudal lords united, he was secretly delighted, hoping that the bigger the trouble, the better, so that Dong Zhuo could reflect.

"So, Hua Xiong will go out this time, and Fengxian will stay in the imperial capital!" Although Dong Zhuo has changed a lot, he still trusts Li Ru, otherwise he would not have left everything to Li Ru to handle.

"promise!"

Lu Bu didn't pay too much attention to it, so he bowed his hands and retreated to the ranks of generals, standing at the top.

Hua Xiong also bowed and retreated, standing behind Lu Bu.

After discussing the matter, Dong Zhuo felt that he could sit back and relax again, so he dispersed the crowd and waited for the good news.

Hua Xiong was also named General Xiaoqi, and led an army of [-] horse infantry. Together with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Qin, they set off on the same day. They left the camp outside Luoyang and rushed to Sishuiguan to meet the enemy.

However, when Dong Zhuo dispatched troops to rush to Sishui Pass.

In the alliance of princes, because of Sun Jian's continuous meritorious deeds, he showed an unstoppable situation, which also aroused the jealousy of some people. After all, all this was Sun Jian's deeds. If Sun Jian directly attacked Luoyang and beheaded Dong Zhuo, then there would be no What happened to them, even if they have credit, it is only a small credit.

Just like Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei among the princes, he was very jealous of Sun Jian, and cursed in his heart, if he knew that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were so vulnerable, then he would have fought for the vanguard before. I don't regret taking the medicine, but I can still make up for it.

So he secretly asked his younger brother Bao Zhong to lead an army of [-] horses to take the trail and rush to Sishui Pass, and to capture Sishui Pass before Sun Jian led the troops arrived, which was also a great achievement.
