Chapter 116 The Last Test

Chapter 116

"According to the order of the adults, my subordinates were stationed at the Yellow River Ferry, waiting for the reinforcements from the Bingzhou side, but the reinforcements from the Bingzhou side did not wait, but waited for a large number of Xiliang soldiers led by Li Wei early this morning. During this period, his subordinates also sent people to ask for reinforcements in the direction of Bingzhou, but unfortunately there has been no reply. Gao Shun also said helplessly.

It turned out that Zhang Yang, who presided over the affairs in Bingzhou, immediately began to prepare for the expedition as soon as he received Ding Yuan's order. However, when Zhang Yang came to the bank of the Yellow River with a large army and was ready to cross the river, he accidentally saw Yuan Shao and Xu You, who had escaped from Luoyang. As soon as Zhang Yang saw Yuan Shao, he hurriedly asked Yuan Shao about the situation in Luoyang.

"General Yuan Shao, you just came from Luoyang. I don't know how my assassin is doing now?" Seeing Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang asked anxiously.

"What's there to say about this? Dong Zhuo has controlled Luoyang and the surrounding areas, and there are more than 200,000 troops in his hands. Although Ding Zishi is brave, he has only 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hand. What do you think the result will be?" Looking at Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao said sweetly.

"What can I do about this? It seems that my assassin will be in danger, so I have to urge the soldiers and go as soon as possible." Zhang Yang muttered to himself and began to urge the soldiers to prepare to cross the Yellow River.

"Humph, General Zhang Yang is in such a hurry to Luoyang. Do you think his life is too long? Do you think you can deal with Dong Zhuo with these forces in your hands? If Dong Zhuo is so easy to deal with, will Yuan Shao still be so embarrassed? Looking at Zhang Yang's anxious look, Yuan Shao said angrily.

"Lord Yuan Shao, what does this mean? Is there anything wrong with doing this?" Zhang Yang felt the strangeness in Yuan Shao's words and asked with some puzzlement.

"Of course, it's not appropriate. At this time, Dong Zhuo has a wide range of soldiers and occupies the geography of Luoyang. He is also a great general of the imperial court. He has the name of righteousness, but what is the history of Ding? Now if you are in Bingzhou, guard Bingzhou well for Ding Shishi. If Ding Shishi is defeated, there is still a place to retreat. Now if you also go to Luoyang, once you are defeated, where can your tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops go? I advise Brother Xian to think more and then make a decision, so as not to mislead others and himself. Yuan Shao said coldly to Zhang Yang, but every word made Zhang Yang sweat profusely.

This Yang was originally not very interested in attacking Dong Zhuo. It was just Ding Yuan's order. It was not easy for him to disobey. Now when he heard Yuan Shao's words, he felt that the trip was so dangerous, and he felt more afraid, let alone crossing the Yellow River.

"I just received the military order from Lord Ding Shishi, but it's not easy to excuse the dispatch of troops. What should I do? Please ask General Yuan Shao to teach me." Although Zhang Yang didn't want to go to Luoyang, it was not easy to refuse Ding Yuan's order, so he looked at Yuan Shao and wanted to invite Yuan Shao to make an idea.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Yang and snorted softly. How could Yuan Shao not see the idea of Zhang Yang? However, since Yuan Shao saw Ding Yuan's reinforcements, he naturally wanted to stop it. Ding Yuan must count his own scene in the military account. Yuan Shao is still vivid in his mind.

"Lord Zhang Yang, don't care. When I came, the situation in Luoyang was imminent. As long as you delay on the road for a few more days, I believe that Luoyang will settle down. At that time, no one will blame you." Yuan Shao's gloomy smile finally gave Zhang Yang an idea.

So Zhang Yang really set up a tent by the Yellow River. He didn't take a step forward, but just said that he was looking for a boat to cross the river. Even at the critical moment when Li Wei's army attacked Gao Shun, Zhang Yang was indifferent. It was not until Li Wei's army completely defeated Gao Shun's troops that Yuan Shao came to Zhang Yang again.

"Brother Zhang Yang, now the world is in chaos. It is the time for me to carry heroes and rise up. Brother Zhang Yang should hurry back to Bingzhou. In the future, the Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty will have to ask my brother and Taiwan to contribute more." Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Yang and showed the meaning of pulling in.

"Lord Yuan Shao is looking forward to him. As long as there is a place for me to show off, please feel free to tell me." Zhang Yang recognized the meaning of pulling in Yuan Shao's words and naturally agreed.

So the two reached a preliminary alliance of future attack and defense in a laughter.

"My lord, I don't understand why he stopped Zhang Yang from increasing Ding Yuan? Isn't it better to have Ding Yuan to deal with Dong Zhuo? After leaving Zhang Yang's camp, Xu You finally asked his doubts.

"Hahaha, Xu You, what do you think of the status of the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family?" Yuan Shao ignored Xu You's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Ha ha, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, with respect for their status, how dare you say more." Yu said with a respectful face.

"Well, sir, this is a little insincere. Although there are many talents in the Yuan family, it is just to take care of the family and take care of the family business for the old Liu family. Instead of being a slave to others for a lifetime, or even for several lifetimes, it is better to fight for reasons and break into their own world. The old Liu family has been in charge of the world for too long. It's too rotten. It's time to change the door, and Dong Zhuo is the last pawn to defeat the old Liu family. Yuan Shao snorted coldly and slowly said what he thought. Xu You, who only heard it, was shocked.

For a long time, Xu You thought that he was smart and wise and planned the world. Only at this moment did he understand that Yuan Shao in front of him was more shrewd and more insidious than himself.

"Lord, Shengming, Xu You is here to wish the Lord's great success and take charge of the world." Xu You raised his eyebrows and hurriedly congratulated Yuan Shao. Xu You understands that since Yuan Shao told him this secret, it shows that he is already Yuan Shao's confidant, but at the same time, he should be more cautious in the future, otherwise he will become the first person Yuan Shao to kill, because he has mastered Yuan Shao's secret.

After listening to Gao Shun's story, Ding Yuan and the generals in the hall turned pale one by one. You should know that Ding Yuan's army came to Luoyang this time, but only brought 30,000 people. Gao Shun lost 5,000 people at the Yellow River ferry. Today, he and Dong Zhuojun killed and injured more than 10,000 people in the first battle. In this way, Ding Yuan's men can fight, and there are only 15,000 left. It's up to everyone to worry about it one by one.

"What should I do now?" One of the generals suddenly shouted with an ugly face, but the generals looked at Hao Meng.

"Father, it is meaningless for our army to stay in Luoyang for today's plan. My father is afraid to lead the troops back to Bingzhou, and the child is willing to cut off the army. Seeing the panic on the faces of the generals, Lv Bu stepped out and suggested to Ding Yuan.

"Report, cavalry generals, an old acquaintance who claimed to be General Lv Bu came to the door and said that he wanted to see General Lv Bu for something important." Just then, a soldier suddenly broke in and reported to the crowd.

"At this time, how can there be my old acquaintance, and what else did the man say?" Hearing the soldier's report, Lv didn't feel incredible. At this time, there were any acquaintances in Luoyang. Thinking of this, Lv Bu's face suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something. Did Dong Zhuo send someone to persuade him to surrender? Thinking of this, Lv Bu's face suddenly became strange. Originally, Lv Bu had no intention of surrendering Dong Zhuo, but now once Ding Yuan knows that Dong Zhuo sends someone to persuade him to surrender, will Ding Yuan have a different mind? Thinking of this, Lü Bu suddenly became worried.

"Hahaha, there are still friends to visit at this time. Lv Bu, you can go and see what's going on." Hearing the little soldier's report, Ding Yuan laughed and waved his hand to Lv Bu, and Lv Bu retreated.

"Let's step back first and see what's going on." Lv Bu replied to Ding Yuan, and then left Ding Yuan's handsome account.

After watching Lv Bu leave, Hao Meng stood up first and looked at Lv Bu's distant back and said leisurely, "At this time, what kind of acquaintances can Feng Xian have? Isn't it that Dong Zhuo sent someone to persuade Feng Xian to surrender? It's just that why didn't Dong Zhuo directly persuade Lord Shi to surrender, but only found someone to persuade him to surrender first. This is too strange. Hao Meng's words seemed to be careless, but in fact they were extremely vicious. They must have fought with Dong Zhuojun. At this time, it was a great crime to contact Dong Zhuojun's people. Although among the generals, there may not be anyone who wanted to surrender to Dong Zhuo, but no one dared to stand up and say that Hao Meng's words were a disaster. Dong Yin also tried out the ideas of the generals by the way.

Sure enough, after Hao Meng's words came out, the generals began to talk one after another, and people's hearts fluctuated for a while.

"What are you talking about? I have been friends with General Lv for many years. I know well what General Lv is. General Lv will never do such a thing." What the generals didn't expect was that Gao Shun was the first to stand up against Hao Meng. Of course, this is also because Lv Bu's generals are not here. Otherwise, with the temper of Dian Wei, Zang Ba and others, how can Hao Meng say such words?

"I'm just talking. Why is General Gao so angry? Although the following words are unpleasant, they are all thinking about Lord Assassin." Hao Meng was also a bachelor. As soon as he saw that his effect had been achieved, he pushed Wang Dingyuan over.

Hao Meng saw this fact. Ding Yuan's doubts about Lv Bu. Otherwise, how could Lv Bu, as Ding Yuan's adopted son, only master the combat power of these 5,000 cavalry? What is this guard against Lv Bu?

"Okay, don't guess anymore. In fact, I also want to try Lv Bu again this time. If he is loyal to the big man, I will lend him my head to help him gain the trust of Dong Zhuo, so that he has a chance to kill Dong Zhuo and keep my big man safe. If he has another intention in his mind and wants to be unfavorable to me, then maybe I can only kill the killer and clean up the door in person. Ding Yuan glanced at the generals with cold eyes, and finally made up his mind. Hao Meng, you selected 500 axes and ambushed outside the tent. When Lv Bu came back, he would obey my orders, and he and the generals would stay in my big account to witness what was about to happen.
