Chapter 6: The Eighteenth Route Princes Discuss Dong
For a month in a row, the Xiliang Army became the object of the training of the Bingzhou Army, and kept going to the city to fight.
What made the Xiliang Army in the city refreshing was the slogan shouted by the Bingzhou army, what "defend the family and defend the country, bloody battle to the end" and the like, the shouting was getting louder and louder, and the army was getting neater and neater.
In the eyes of Dong Zhuo and others, the Bingzhou army was here to swagger, and they didn't take it to heart, not that Dong Zhuo didn't want to send someone to teach Lu Bu a lesson, but that the families in the city were ready to move, and the combined strength of these families should not be underestimated, so he could only swallow this breath.
During this period, Lu Bu received a number of letters sent by officials in the city, for these letters, Lu Bu burned them directly after reading them, and the officials in the court also asked him to attack Luoyang when they knew the disparity in strength between the two sides, making it clear that they were treating him as a fool, what Kuang Fu Sheji, what should be combined with the outside, it was complete nonsense, Ding Yuan was fooled by those people, and was killed by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's advice, and in order to establish prestige in the court and win the hearts of the people, he wantonly promoted the party members and won over the relationship with the family.
However, for Dong Zhuo's favor, Yuan Shao obviously did not buy it, and recruited troops and horses in Bohai, because of the reputation of the Yuan family, it attracted many literati and generals to take refuge for a while.
After getting the news that the Xiliang army would arrive in Luoyang in a few days, Lu Bu hurriedly led the army to retreat to the outside of Bishui Pass, and while training his troops, he waited for the time for the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Without Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, who will be sent to guard the Tiger Pass to defend against the coalition forces, and how to fight with the coalition forces?
At this time, the surrounding area of Luoyang is not peaceful, from time to time there will be thieves and bandits, and the state army is responsible for sending troops to suppress bandits, and it has a good reputation in the surrounding area.
Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City has always wanted to recruit Lu Bu, but Lu Bu has never been willing to bird him, and Lu Bu also played cards according to common sense, it is said that the state pastor has become flamboyant, and Lu Bu should hurry back to the state to seize power, which makes Dong Zhuo very puzzled.
In September, Dong Zhuo saw that things were almost ready, and the Xiliang army entered the city, which increased his confidence, so he ordered the ministers to go to the court in the Jiade Palace, Dong Zhuo drew his sword in his hand, stood at the head of the ministers, and said coldly: "Today's son is weak, not enough to rule the world, and a new monarch should be set up to make my Han Zhongxing." ”
Li Ru immediately took out the documents that had been prepared and said, "Emperor Xiaoling, abandon your subjects early...... The emperor is hereby abolished as the king of Hongnong, and the queen mother returns to power, please serve King Chen Liu as the emperor, and should be in favor of the people of heaven to comfort the hope of the soul. ”
Dong Zhuo saw that the ministers were silent, and ordered the attendants to help Liu Wei down the hall and untie his seal, and Liu Wei couldn't stop crying.
Shang Shu Ding Guan scolded: "Dong Zhuo's old thief, not for the son of man, everyone will be punished, and now I dare to bully the Son of Heaven, I should splash it with blood on my neck." ”
Dong Zhuo was furious when he saw this, and ordered to drag out the beheading, no one dared to respond, under the leadership of Dong Zhuo, he met Liu Xie, who had just been supported to the throne, Dong Zhuo recommended himself as Xiangguo, praised and worshipped no name, did not enter the court, and the sword went to the palace, and the prestige was incomparable, in order to prevent the people in the court from making a fuss again, Dong Zhuo secretly ordered Li Ru to kill Liu Wei, and the big man who was already stormy was slapped a few times by Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Cao Cao, who had conspired with Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo and failed, fled all the way back to Qian County and recruited troops.
Dongjun Taishouqiao Mao falsely claimed that the three dukes of Jingshi sent a letter to all states and counties, stating Dong Zhuo's evil deeds, and people from all walks of life responded, and Lu Bu outside Bishui Pass also received a letter crusading against Dong Zhuo.
The princes of the Eighteenth Road were: the first road after the general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, the second road Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, the third road Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, the fourth road Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, the fifth road Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, the sixth road Chen Liutai shou Zhang Miao, the seventh road Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, the eighth road Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, the ninth road Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, the tenth road Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, the eleventh road Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, the twelfth road Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, the thirteenth road Xiliang too shou Ma Teng, the fourteenth road Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, the fifteenth road Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Cao Cao, the captain of the 16th Road, Yuan Shao, the 17th Bohai Taishou, and the 18th Lu, Jiuyuan Taishou Lu Bu.
The princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered together, it was really covering the sky and the sun, all kinds of flags were waving in the wind, Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses of the state with neat steps and loud slogans, which attracted a lot of attention, and the soldiers and horses of the other princes along the way gave way solemnly, no matter what, the state army has always been fighting with Dong Zhuo's army, which is worthy of their admiration.
When the princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered in the sour date, the news of the alliance crusade against Dong Zhuo reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo panicked, in his opinion, as long as the emperor is changed, no one in the world dares to go against him, but he didn't expect it to attract the crusade of the princes from all walks of life, don't look at the elite of the Xiliang army, but the princes are also strong and strong, and fight against the world with the power of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo does not have that confidence.
"Wen You, now the Eighteenth Route Princes will falsely claim 500,000 and kill Luoyang, and the plan will be released?"
"Xiangguo don't panic, the princes of the Eighteenth Road falsely claim to be 500,000, at most more than 200,000 people, plus the princes have different thoughts, they will definitely not work hard to tackle the fortifications, although our army has few soldiers, but the city is strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, just send a general, hold the Bishui Pass, and wait for the princes to run out of grain and grass and naturally retreat, Luoyang is worry-free." Li Rudao.
"Okay, I ordered Huaxiong to immediately order 50,000 soldiers and horses to go to Bishui Pass, and it would be a great achievement to just hold the pass." Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this.
Lu Bu led Cao Xing Gao Shun to the princes' tent, as a person from the future world, he wanted to see what Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei looked like.
"Presumably this is General Lu Bulu who is loyal to the country, right?"
Lu Bu looked at the general who was nearly two heads shorter than himself, dressed in a military uniform, and his eyes were blazing, "It's exactly below, dare to ask who the general is?" ”
"In Xia Cao Cao, the word Mengde."
"I have admired the name for a long time, Brother Meng De assassinated Dong Zhuo's old thief alone, the world knows it, when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, if you don't mind, Meng De can call me Fengxian." Lu Bu complimented.
"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful, Feng Xian will be the world's tiger general, it really makes Dong Zhuo's old thief tasteless food and lodging." Cao Cao laughed.
"Brother Mengde, please inside." In the face of well-known figures, Lu Bu put his posture very low, who makes his force value high, but his subordinates lack the talent to take charge of themselves, after a famous family like Cao Cao, together with the troubled times, there will be many celebrities who follow them, which is also their own disadvantage, and it is the basic principle not to fight with them.
Originally, he thought that Lu Bu was just Cao Cao, who had the courage of a horseman, and he couldn't help but be impressed, Lu Bu's performance also gave Cao Cao some good impressions, people from a family generally looked down on this kind of martial arts, Cao Cao was one of the alternatives, and after entering the big tent, he enthusiastically introduced everyone to Lu Bu.
