In a camp outside Luoyang City, in the most central place, the erected Dongzi flag fluttered.

The camp of the Liangzhou cavalry.

Inside the camp, the Liangzhou cavalry were all sitting around, looking at the tall city wall in the distance, with some longing on their faces. Tents have been set up next to them, this is their resting place, and it is also the foothold in Luoyang City.

"Damn it!"

"Damn!"

In the open space on one side, Hua Xiong, who was dressed in black armor, scolded viciously, the bowstring of the longbow in his hand vibrate, and a feather arrow had already flown out, hitting the arrow target in the distance.

On the arrow target, there are already many feather arrows stuck on it, which shows how strong the anger in Hua Xiong's heart is to vent. He continued to move, and then drew the feather arrow from the quiver he was carrying behind his back, wound it with his bow, and shot the feathered arrow.

"Die!"

The anger has not subsided, and the residual anger has not stopped. No matter how much he shoots an arrow, he can't make Hua Xiong completely calm down, and even if he imagines the arrow target as those hateful enemies, he can't change the status quo.

Shame can only be washed away with blood, which is what Huaxiong has always been accustomed to. And he didn't even participate in the battle a few days ago, which made Hua Xiong even more unacceptable.

Perhaps in that battle, with his participation, the losses of the cavalry would not have been so great. Such a big loss, when he was in Liangzhou, he had never seen it, and it was left in a battle.

Instead of fighting with the Qiang tribes, such a large loss is unlikely unless several large tribes cooperate.

It's a pity that he wants to protect the lord Dong Zhuo. It was precisely because of protecting the injured Dong Zhuo that he was not able to join that battle.

Therefore, Hua Xiong is now even more eager for those sneaky guys who can only release cold arrows in the dark to appear again, so that he can move and kill them all.

"Huh." Another feather arrow flew out, and on the dense arrow target, there was another feather arrow that was constantly shaking.

While Hua Xiong was venting his anger in his heart, Li Ru and Xu Rong were walking inside the camp, patrolling the camp.

"Berji, have you recovered your morale?" Li Ru looked around the barracks, and when he saw some cavalrymen talking and laughing, he expected it, but he still asked Xu Rong.

"I've recovered, Strategist." Xu Rong replied. His expression is serious, and he is even more meticulous, which is almost always the case when he was in the army.

"That's good." Li Ru nodded, not surprised by Xu Rong's state.

For Xu Rong, he trusts Hua Xiong more. One is a fierce general, and the other is a commander who can govern the army and lead the army. Especially Xu Rong's character, which makes him lead the army and is even more reassuring.

In the past few years, Xu Rong has not tasted defeat, and every battle in Liangzhou has ended in victory. Such a person can be entrusted with the important task and let him lead the army alone.

As for Hua Xiong? Li Ru shook his head, Hua Xiong can only be a general, not a commander, he can only let him lead one or two thousand people to charge into battle, and he can't let him lead a large army to suppress the formation.

"I thought that the morale of the army would be the majority, but now it seems that there is no need to worry." Li Ru said with a smile.

"Don't worry about this, that battle is just evenly divided. If we meet again next time, I'm sure I'll defeat them. Xu Rong replied seriously.

"yes, you must have come here in order to come here, right? If you were given a little more time, you wouldn't have to lose so many cavalry. Li Ru turned his head to look at Xu Rong.

Xu Rong didn't speak, but Li Ru knew that this was the default. When he learned that the coach was in danger, no matter what, he had to rush over, so there was not much time left for Xu Rong.

Otherwise, with Xu Rong's ability, he could still completely cope with that kind of scene.

"It's a pity that Liangzhou can't relax there. If Ma Teng and the others see the opportunity, they will definitely take advantage of the weakness, and the rear is unstable, and we will not be able to walk safely here. Li Ru sighed.

This time, they were all cavalry, and there were more than 1,000 infantry brought by Xu Rong, after the battle, there was not much infantry left, and the losses of the cavalry were also very large. They could have brought more men and horses, and there was a steady stream of reinforcements coming from behind.

But everything lies in the fact that the scholars in Liangzhou are entangled, and they are not so easy to pull out. Like Ma Teng and Han Sui, these two people are already their old opponents, they have made trouble several times, and they have been defeated several times, but they can't be eliminated for a long time.

Coupled with the support of the Qiang tribe behind the two of them, the union has become more and more tricky. In Liangzhou, if there are not enough people left to suppress the overall situation, it is possible to be turned upside down. Like Niu Fu, who is also the son-in-law of the Dong family, he led other generals to sit in Liangzhou, and it was these two people who defended him.

Xu Rong didn't speak, his eyes looked around, observing the situation in the camp. He was even listening to Li Ru while constantly looking for loopholes in the camp's defenses.

Li Ru didn't get an answer, and called twice, "Boji, Boji?" ”

Still without an answer, he turned his head and saw this scene just in time, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Sure enough, it would be something Xu Rong did, and he was not annoyed, Li Ru put his hands behind his back and continued to walk forward.

Exhaling lightly, Li Ru also felt tricky. Their current strength is too small, and even if they are allowed to, they can be stationed on the edge of Luoyang City. But the army that will come later, there will not be only them, and then there will be others, and if other armies arrive, it will not be so easy to achieve the set goal.

"That's enough troops." Li Ru muttered to himself, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Strength is the most critical part. If you have enough troops to suppress everything, then it will be easy to accomplish anything. But now, it is difficult, although the remaining more than 3,000 troops, although the cavalry accounts for almost all of them, many of them are wounded.

Although the cavalry is strong, the majestic Luoyang City is not something that the cavalry can break through. What's more, there are only more than 3,000 cavalry.

It's hard, it's too hard.

In the tent of the Chinese military camp, Dong Zhuo sat on the top of the tiger skin paved, leaning on one foot, his face twitching from time to time. There was a lot of sweat dripping from his forehead, and his teeth were biting at each other, and there was a sound of constant friction.

Dong Zhuo was naked, revealing a strong body, although some places looked like fat, but more of it, it was that kind of sturdy silhouette. After fighting in the army for many years, although Dong Zhuo led the army less and less later, the foundation laid when he was young has not completely disappeared.

Next to him, a military doctor was carefully cleaning Dong Zhuo's wounds. The white cloth that wrapped around his chest was untied, and the red blood stains in front of the white cloth were particularly eye-catching.

Untie it and pull the white cloth away. The moment the white cloth stuck to the flesh and blood broke away from his body, Dong Zhuo unconsciously took a breath of cool air, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

The sweat that flowed out became more and more, and it can be said that it was sweating like rain. He was still gasping for air, and it wasn't until a while later that he gradually eased up.

Hurt!

How can it not hurt?

From the moment he was hit by the arrow, the death he felt, to the severe pain after the arrow, fortunately there was armor to block it, otherwise he would have been killed by one arrow! But that's not all, when dealing with the injury later, it was even more painful, and it has continued to this day.

Dong Zhuo hasn't been injured for a long time, it's been a long, long time. For a very long time, he didn't feel the threat of death. It wasn't until not long ago that he regained the stimulus of life and death in his previous youth.

Angry, of course. It's not just anger, it's fear, and after fear, it's anger, extreme anger.

Looking at the busy figure of the military doctor, he forcibly suppressed his emotions, he couldn't get angry, he couldn't get angry. Now the wound has not yet scarred, probably related to his emotions in the past few days.

Dong Zhuo also felt the weakness of his body, so sometimes, he controlled himself not to think about a bunch of things that he had and didn't have. Especially this matter, it is better to wait for him to be injured before thinking about it.

When the time comes, he must find out the guy who shot the cold arrow, so that he is better off dead!

Seeing the military doctor approaching with a basin of water, holding a new white cloth and medicine bottle in his hand, Dong Zhuo's face twitched again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Come on." ”

The deeper the pain, the greater his hatred, and the clearer he remembers!

Next to the tent of the Chinese military camp, there is another tent, and Liu Xie lives here. From time to time, he would walk out of the tent and look at Luoyang City in the distance, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

Originally, that city was a city he was extremely familiar with, and it was possible that it was a city he owned. But now, when looking at the city wall, Liu Xie always has a sense of strangeness in his heart.

The body will tremble uncontrollably, and the teeth will tremble violently. In his heart, what came to mind was the woman's smile, that smiling face with coldness.

Queen Ho! The woman who killed his mother, drove him out of the palace, and drove him to death!

Liu Xie hated it very much, extremely hateful, if it weren't for this woman, everything that his unsuccessful brother had now would be his! It was precisely because of the existence of that slut of the He clan that in the end, not only did he not get everything he deserved, but even what he should have lost completely!

He didn't know if Li Ru and his lord Dong Zhuo could help him achieve his wish. But he really has no choice, if he doesn't go with them, who else can he follow?

Even if they had a plan, he had nothing now, and if he wanted to do something, he would have to wait until he had something to get it.

The future is unknown. Liu Xie knew that no matter how scared he was, he had to move forward, otherwise, he would only end up dead.
