Chapter 469: Are the Golden Scales a Thing in the Pool?
Dong Zhuo was very moved by Lu Bu's surprise attack plan, if this plan could be realized, the Kwantung princes would be rampant for a few days.
At this time, a fast horse galloped forward, and after entering the hall, he took out a bamboo slip from his arms and presented it to Dong Zhuo, and said in a respectful tone: "Taishi, Luoyang's letter has arrived." ”
After taking the bamboo slip, Dong Zhuo's pair of copper bell-like eyes swept left and right, and quickly read it. Although Li Ru is not around, he can almost be said to know the military intelligence here in the Tiger Prison.
"Hahaha-"
After a while, Dong Zhuo, who had finished reading the contents of the bamboo slips, laughed.
When he smiled, all the generals in the hall were puzzled, and asked each other: "Master, why are you so happy?" ”
Dong Zhuo stroked the bulging belly, touched the thick beard again, and laughed: "The hero sees the same thing, and Li Ru also suggested that he surprise the army and go north to Mengjin." ”
In the letter, Li Ru gave Dong Zhuo two plans for him to consider by himself. First, the capital was moved to Chang'an, taking advantage of the dangerous terrain of mountains and rivers, and guarding the valley pass according to Hangu; Second, he sent a note to Niu Fu, who was guarding Mengjin, and ordered him to lead his troops to raid the grain and grass camp of the coalition army.
This coincides with the strategy proposed by Lu Bu just now.
Dong Zhuo made up his mind and looked at the generals, this matter was related to the final success or failure of this battle, and he was not careless at all.
Who should I send?
Dong Zhuo's eyes wandered over the bodies of Li Dao and Guo Yan and other generals, these people were brave and brave, but their ability to adapt to emergencies was still slightly lacking.
"Taishi, the last general is willing to go to Mengjin and lead 3,000 elite cavalry to burn the grain and grass camp of the thief army."
A familiar voice sounded, Lu Bu spoke again, and Mao recommended himself: "If I underestimate all the generals, I will take the lead in galloping into battle, none of you can defeat Lu Mou." ”
In the past, the generals of Xiliang would definitely not be convinced, but after witnessing Lu Bu's battle in the Tiger Prison Pass, even if they didn't like this person anymore, they at least acquiesced in Lu Bu's strength in their hearts.
"But, Bong's wounds on your body ......"
In Dong Zhuo's view, Lu Bu is indeed the best candidate, he has a lot of experience in conquest and army command, and his performance in the Tiger Prison Pass a few days ago is obvious to all.
Dong Zhuo didn't doubt him, but he was worried about Lu Bu's injuries and whether he could withstand a long-distance attack.
"There is Lao Taishi's concern, and there are only small injuries to the flesh and skin, so there is no need to worry."
Lu Bu said unimpressedly, and he also lost the treasure armor given by the first emperor Liu Hong. If it was the armor of an ordinary general, how could he lie down for ten days and a half months, but after the battle of the Tiger Prison, Lu Bu had several wounds on his body, all of which were broken skin, not to mention fatal, not even a single bone-piercing scar.
In addition, Lu Bu is now young and vigorous, and his body's recovery ability is extremely fast, and within a few days, the scar has healed.
"Good!"
Dong Zhuo howled with excitement, his face full of joy. He now looks at how Lu Bu looks and how happy, and he feels more and more like himself when he was young, brave and good at fighting, and his brain is bright.
Then, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and made a decision: "Since Feng Xian has such ambitions, this Taishi will allow you to go this time and lead troops to raid the enemy's grain and grass camp." ”
"If you succeed in this battle, you will be the right general!" Dong Zhuo patted his chest and made a promise.
The position of the right general is almost to the peak of the glory of the general.
In addition to the top generals, hussar generals, chariot generals, and Wei generals, they belong to the four generals in the front and back, left and right, and they are high and powerful. The golden seal and purple ribbon, the status of the court is second only to the three dukes, compared with the Jiuqing, and the position is either the military guard of the Beijing Division, or the border of the soldiers.
Lu Bu is now a general at the town level, and there is a 'Zheng' general climbing above.
Different from the promotion of low-level military ranks such as centurion and captain, the further you go, the more you need outstanding achievements and contributions, as well as a huge family background, to be able to speak.
The old general Zhang Zhong guarded the state all his life, and finally stopped at the position of the general of the expedition to the north, and the difficulty of his promotion can be imagined.
However, today's court is not what it used to be, it is nothing more than a puppet doll in Dong Zhuo's hands, no matter what he says, it must be. The promotion from the general of Zhenbei to the general of the right is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rocket-like promotion.
This also shows that Dong Zhuo completely classified Lu Bu as his confidant.
The generals in the hall were red-eyed, they had followed Dong Zhuo for so many years, and now they had only mixed into the position of Zhonglang General.
"Thank you for your grace." Lu Bu responded with a fist.
Dong Zhuo treated him so kindly, Lu Bu felt a lot in his heart, you must know that in the previous life, it was he who ended Dong Zhuo's life with his own hands, which indirectly contributed to the complete collapse of the Han Dynasty.
If Dong Zhuo hadn't been killed at that time, maybe the pattern of the Han Dynasty would still be the confrontation between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes. As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the world was completely chaotic.
Li Dao Guo Yan made a rebellion and broke through Chang'an; The land of the Central Plains, wolf smoke is everywhere, and the lives of people are devastated; The princes of various places supported their own troops, and fought each other against each other......
Retracting his thoughts, Lu Bu sighed deeply.
In this life, in addition to the courage of a reckless man, he also has his own plan, to be one step ahead of Dong Zhuo and occupy Guanzhong step by step.
"Taishi, General Niu Fu stationed in Mengjin is your son-in-law, and he may not listen to me as an outsider." Lu Bu deliberately showed a worried face, not only him, but also the generals in the Xiliang Army knew that Niu Fu had been arrogant and ignored many people since he became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.
Dong Zhuo's two sons-in-law are not likable. One is vicious and ruthless, hiding a knife in his smile, and the other is a fox and a tiger, acting domineeringly.
All in all, not a good bird.
Dong Zhuo heard this, thought for a while, took off a copper talisman from his waist, and handed it to Lu Bu, his vicious face was rarely a little more solemn: "This is the order of this Taishi, regardless of the official position in the Xiliang Army, seeing this order, if this Taishi is here in person, everyone has to listen to you." Be sure to keep it alive and don't lose it. ”
"I will live up to the trust of the master!"
Lu Bu took the talisman with both hands and replied with great certainty.
After the meeting, without further ado.
Lu Bu said goodbye to Dong Zhuo, and only brought Huang Zhong, Ma Zhong, and Pan Feng with him. Pan Feng took the initiative to surrender and informed the coalition army of the weekday military deployment, Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu's face, and did not deliberately make things difficult for him.
Riding on the red horse, the fast horse galloped to Mengjin.
Out of the rear of the Tiger Prison, three horses galloped down the avenue. The horse's hooves are brisk, reflecting the moonlight in the sky and the evening breeze blowing in the face, which is very refreshing.
Coming to the bank of the turbid river, Lu Bu under the moonlight was angular and angular, he looked at the rolling river, suppressed the emotions in his heart and couldn't control it anymore, and then stretched his body and drank suddenly, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests: "Roar~Ah! ”
The sound of roaring, and the turbid water of the drifting and turbulent river, formed a strong confrontation invisibly, which lasted for half a day.
Ma Zhong and Pan Feng couldn't bear this domineering momentum, so they covered their ears. Only Huang Zhong was excited, as the top military general in the world, he could feel the change in Lu Bu's mood the most at this moment, I am afraid that the general's strength has made a new breakthrough.
The roar stopped, and Huang Zhong clenched his fists and asked Lu Bu: "General, why are you so happy?" ”
The rushing river converged in his eyes, and fangs appeared on his handsome face for the first time.
Lu Bu looked back at Huang Zhong and the others, and laughed loudly: "From the day I returned to Luoyang, I was a bird in a cage and a fish in a net, and I was bound to Dong Zhuo everywhere. This trip should be like a fish in the sea, a bird in the sky, not bound by the cage net! ”
