Pushing the cup and setting the lamp, in the barracks was celebrating the capture of Xuanyuan Pass, a soldier's voice came from outside the door: "Qiqi three generals, His Royal Highness sent people, saying that he wanted to return to Luoyang to ask General Lu for guilt!" ”

Hearing the voice of the soldier outside the door, the three people in the room were all stunned.

Lu Bu took the lead, entered the Xuanyuan Pass, and broke through the pass, even Zhang Liao and Tai Shici couldn't understand what crime he had committed.

The servants were looking at each other with stunned faces, the door was vigorously pushed open, and several Qin soldiers from Luoyang stepped into the house.

The leading Qin army entered the barracks, straightened his waist, and said to the servants in the house: "Your Highness has an order, the commander of the army will be temporarily replaced by General Zhang Liao, Lu Bu disobeyed His Highness's order, and I will take it back to Luoyang to ask for guilt!" ”

After the officer's words, Lu Bu and the others were still stunned.

Breaking through the Xuanyuan Pass, Lu Bu can be said to have worked hard, and he thought that Liu Wei would order the whole army and reward him, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was to escort Luoyang to ask for the crime.

"What is Wen Hou's crime?" The first to react was Zhang Liao, who stood up and asked the officer, "Isn't it His Highness's intention to break through Xuanyuan Pass?" Why did he escort Wen Hou to Luoyang to ask for the crime? ”

"We are just acting on orders, and we don't know why His Highness wants to take Wenhou!" Clenched his fists and arched towards Zhang Liao, and the officer replied with a cold face.

"Wen Hou, please!" Not wanting to say anything more to Zhang Liao and the others, the officer retreated and took half a step back, and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Bu.

I didn't expect this result at all, and when he looked at the officer, Lu Bu's face was still full of astonishment.

It wasn't until the officer reminded him again that Lu Bu came back to his senses, stood up weakly, arched his fists towards Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, and said to the two: "Two generals, take care!" ”

The battle of Xuanyuan Pass, although it was not fought according to Liu Wei's intentions, but Lu Bu's bravery and the strategy he adopted had already convinced Zhang Liao and Tai Shici.

Liu Wei sent people to escort Lu Bu to Luoyang for questioning, but Zhang Liao and Tai Shici did not dare to stop him, but they just stood opposite Lu Bu and saluted him with fists.

Dejectedly walked out of the barracks, and the Qin army that escorted Lu Bu did not give him torture tools, but someone helped him bring the red rabbit horse.

Stroking Chitu's mane, Lu Bu smiled bitterly and asked the leading officer: "You are waiting to bring Chitu for so-and-so, aren't you afraid that so-and-so will run away?" ”

"Your Highness said that Wenhou is a hero in the world, and he will definitely not embarrass me!" Clenched his fists and bowed, and saluted Lu Bu, and the officer responded.

Stunned for a moment by the officer's words, Lu Bu sighed lightly and said: "That's it, this time it is really against His Highness's order, even if His Highness wants to kill, there will be no complaints!" ”

Turning over on horseback, Lu Bu said to the team of Qin soldiers who came to escort him: "Please go to Luoyang!" ”

Four or five hours later, the Qin Palace, in Luoyang City.

Liu Wei stood by the lake with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood Wang Liu and Wang Zhen with their hands on the hilt of their long swords.

Lu Bu, who was escorted back to Luoyang by a group of Qin troops, had not taken off his armor, and stood beside Liu Wei with his fists folded and bowed, with a heavy shame on his face.

"Feng Xian, Feng Xian!" Looking at the lake, Liu Wei sighed lightly, and said to Lu Bu helplessly: "What do you want this king to do with you?" Repeatedly disobeyed the king's orders and broke the overall deployment of our army! Breaking through the Xuanyuan Pass seems to have made a great achievement, but it is to ask the king to deploy another army! You say......"

At the end of the words, Liu Wei turned around and raised his hand to point at Lu Bu, but he didn't finish all the words, just sighed heavily.

has been reprimanded by Liu Wei, and he also knows that this time he has really done a little bad to break through Xuanyuan Pass, Lu Bu's face was full of panic, and he maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and did not dare to speak.

Today's Liu Wei is no longer the Liu Wei he recognized back then.

After several years of growth, the power is expanding infinitely, and Liu Wei's bearing is also very different from that year.

Although Liu Wei has not yet been proclaimed emperor, the imperial aura he has is difficult to hide.

Standing beside Liu Bian, Lu Bu didn't say anything, and Liu Biao didn't speak again, just looked at the lake and fell into deep thought.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Wei waved his hand at Lu Bu and said to him: "That's it, cut the official by one level, and be fined for one year, you go back and think about it behind closed doors!" ”

Liu Wei's disposition came out, Lu Bu raised his head and looked at him in astonishment, his lips moved, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Your Highness doesn't kill the last general?" ”

"How many soldiers have been buried in the battlefield for repeatedly disobeying the king's orders, do you think the king doesn't want to kill you?" Turning around, his brows furrowed tightly, Liu Wei said to Lu Bu: "But you have followed this king for a long time, and you have a lot of credit!" If this king wants to kill you, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have peace in my heart. I thought about it when I went back, and when I figured it out, I let people tell the king! ”

Turning to face the lake again, Liu Wei waved his hand at Lu Bu and said, "You go!" ”

Clenching his fists and bowing, Lu Bu took a few steps back with a panicked face before turning around and striding towards the front yard.

Liu Wei didn't look at Lu Bu again, his gaze always stayed on the surface of the lake, and there was a touch of depth in his eyes, as if he was pondering something.

"Your Highness!" When Lu Bu walked away, Wang Liu, who was standing behind him, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Lu Bu and Jia Xu have both made mistakes that go against His Royal Highness's wishes, and His Royal Highness is afraid that it will be ...... if he disposes of it like this."

"I'm afraid it's light!" Without waiting for Wang Liu to finish speaking, Liu Wei took over the conversation and said to Wang Liu: "But how can this king deal with them seriously? Could it be that they were really shown to the public as the public platform said? ”

was asked by Liu Wei, but Wang Liu didn't dare to speak.

Chen Gong mentioned that he wanted to show Jia Xu and Lu Buxiao to the public, what was the purpose, Wang Liu couldn't see it clearly, and she couldn't figure it out, but she knew that what Chen Gong said was not wrong.

If Jia Xu and Lu Bu are not punished, in the future, I am afraid that there will be people in the Qin army who ignore Liu Wei's orders and change the combat deployment at will.

"Will be outside, the monarch's order will not be affected!" His eyes narrowed slightly, Liu Wei looked at the lake, and said softly: "This king has not gone out on an expedition for a long time, and all the orders he gave were all thought of in the curtain. What the battlefield is like, this king does not know! The reason why Lu Bu and Jia Xu were dealt with was to let people know that if they violated the law, this king should be able to open his eyes and close his eyes. But it can be repeated three times, and this king will also be punished! ”

It wasn't until Liu Wei said these words that Wang Liu and Wang Zhen knew that he disposed of Jia Xu and Lu Bu not because they should really dispose of them, but because they had to do something in order to retain their absolute rights.

Standing behind Liu Wei, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen didn't say anything more.

The news of the Qin army's breakthrough of Xuanyuan Pass soon spread to the Guandu battlefield.

Cao Cao, who was confronting Yuan Jun under Zhang He, was taken aback when he learned that Xuanyuan Pass had been lost, and hurriedly summoned Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu and others to the front.

In Cao Junshuai's tent, Cao Cao sat in the first place, looked around at the staff in the tent, and asked everyone with a worried face: "I got the news that the Qin army had broken through the Xuanyuan Pass, and I originally thought that the Xuanyuan Pass could be defended for several months, but I didn't expect that it would be broken so quickly." In your opinion, what should be done is appropriate? ”

"The Qin army is strong, I think it will take advantage of the victory to enter the Xu capital!" Before Cao Cao's words fell, Cheng Yu frowned and said: "Cao Gong might as well retire from Guandu for the time being, return to Xudu, and then make plans!" ”

"Never!" As soon as Cheng Yu's words fell, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Guandu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if our army withdraws from Guandu, the northern barrier will be completely lost." At that time, the Yuan army crossed the Yellow River, and could drive straight in, and the Qin army would wave troops to kill Xu Du in the west, and Cao Gong would die! Majesty is dead! ”

Cao Cao, who had also thought about withdrawing his troops, listened to Xun Yu's words, and suddenly burst of white sweat on his back in shock.

He raised his sleeves, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said to everyone in the tent: "You can't withdraw, Xu Du is empty, once the Qin army takes advantage of the weakness to enter, what should our army do?" ”

"Ming Gong!" Since entering the tent, Guo Jia, who had been sitting there without words, stood up, strode to the middle of the tent, and said to Cao Cao with his fists in his fists: "The King of Qin sent envoys to Jiangdong and Jingzhou earlier, asking Sun Ce and Liu Biao to send troops to attack the Ming Duke. But between Sun Ce and Liu Bian, there is a feud, and the two armies attack each other, and there is no time to look north! In the south of Ming Gong, there are many less worries! ”

"It's not the South that's worried, it's the North and the West!" Staring at Guo Jia, Cao Cao said with a tangled face: "Yuan Shao's army will arrive at Guandu in a few days, and if our army withdraws, it will definitely lose the Yellow River barrier." But if our army does not withdraw, it will be difficult for the Qingzhou army to intercept the Qin army, so what can I do? ”

"The Qingzhou Army can completely intercept the Qin Army!" Maintaining the posture of holding his fists, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "As long as the Duke of Ming orders to praise the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, and ask them to deploy defenses in the area of Songshan, only defend and not attack, and in a few days, the Qin army will retreat!" ”

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao still couldn't believe that the Qin army would eventually withdraw his troops.

Since the Qin army had already broken through the Xuanyuan Pass, the Qin army did not gain much benefit in the earlier battle with the Cao army.

According to the temperament of the King of Qin, Cao Jun has the strength to compete with the Qin army in the world, and he will definitely not give Cao Jun a chance to grow.

Although the Qingzhou army held Songshan, although it blocked the pace of the Qin army's eastward advance, the king of Qin would not necessarily give up the best opportunity to seize Xudu.

Seeing the hesitation on Cao Cao's face, Guo Jia clenched his fists and bowed down, and said to Cao Cao: "The reason why the Qin army is strong is that all localities are well coordinated and dispatched. The Qingzhou army held Songshan, the Ming Duke did not need to send a large army to attack Luoyang, only a small number of troops entered the Qin land, raided the villages around the country, the King of Qin in order to ensure internal peace, must divide the troops to clear the surrender, then the Ming Duke can win the time to break Yuan Shao! ”

"Raiding Qindi?" When Guo Jia said such a thing, Cao Cao raised his head and said with some hesitation: "The king of Qin loves the people like a son, if he attacks the people...... I'm afraid there will be even greater retaliation! ”
