Chapter 260 Zhongmou Prepare for War
Chapter 260
Just as Yuan Shao and others were calculating tomorrow's decisive battle, Lv Bu and Hua Xiong finally returned to Zhongmou City.
"Huaxiong, didn't you say that only Zhang Ji was defending in Zhongmou City? How could there be so many soldiers?" Lv Bu looked up at the soldiers standing on the Zhongmou wall, and a word- understandable flag, and asked Hua Xiong beside him.
"This? I don't know. Maybe the Prime Minister has entered Zhongmou City, right? Hua Xiong scratched his head and replied without saying anything.
"The princes divided their troops into two ways. The Prime Minister should have been stationed in Luoyang and deployed troops in the center, but he actually came here. Is there anything else you haven't made clear to me?" Lv Bu frowned and asked suspiciously. You should know that the allied forces of the princes were killed in two ways. Everyone could see that Dong Zhuo, as the coach, could not leave Luoyang easily. As a military division, Li Ru would naturally not make such a mistake. There was only one explanation, that is, how Li Ru blocked Yuan Shu's march all the way. Is it Hu Yu? Lv Bu felt that although Hu Zhen was also a rare general under Dong Zhuo, it was not enough to shake the coalition of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu.
"Ha ha ha, General Lv Bu doesn't have to care. Since the Prime Minister can come here to supervise the war, it means that there is no need to worry about Wancheng. The Prime Minister has been here to take Zhong Mou for a long time and is waiting for the two generals. I believe that the Prime Minister will be very happy to see the general. Lv Bu was a little puzzled. The gate of Zhongmu suddenly opened, and a man led a soldier to greet him, but this person was not Zhang Ji, but Niu Fu. Niu Fu was obviously a little surprised to see Lv Bu and Hua Xiong coming back together, but in an instant, he greeted him with a smile.
"It turned out to be General Niu Fu. If you go out of the city to greet him, Lv Bu is ashamed." Seeing Niu Fu coming, Lv Bu also said politely.
"The general said that the general is the first strength of our army. Some generals once again believe that they will win the battle in Japan." Niu Fu said sourly. In fact, this time he instigated Dong Zhuo to come over. Niu Fu's intention was to perform well in front of Dong Zhuo, but he didn't expect Lv Bu to appear at this time, so Niu Fu could only say sourly. However, this is because he didn't know that Lv Bu saved Hua Xiong, otherwise how could he talk like this?
Not long after, Niu Fu took Hua Xiong and Lv Bu to Dong Zhuo. At this time, there were already several generals standing there in front of Dong Zhuo, obviously discussing something.
"The child has met his father, and he has been worried these days." As soon as he saw Dong Zhuo, Lv Bu hurried forward to salute.
"Lv Bu, my son, you are finally back, but these days make my father miss you very much. Let's talk about what you do these days?" Although Dong Zhuo got a letter from Lv Bu asking Gao Shun to go a little, he knew that Lv Bu had a plan, but in the past few days, he has not heard any achievements of Lv Bu. It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to think too much. He must face power and desire. Even his own child will betray him. What's more, Lv Bu has a criminal record, Dong Zhuo can't help it. Some.
"It's a shame to say that the child led his troops to hide outside Chen Liu. He wanted to wait for Yuan Shao's army to suppress it and then secretly attack Chen Liu, so that Yuan Shao's army could not take care of each other's head and tail. He didn't expect that General Hua Xiong was brave, and secondly, Bao Xin's man was so incompetent that his father took the army to Zhongmou, and the child saw that the plan was over. If you are completely defeated, you can only return with General Hua Xiong. Lv Bu looked at Hua Xiong and Dong Zhuo, and said with pity.
"So it is." After listening to Lv Bu's words, Dong Zhuo also felt very sorry. If Lv Bu's plan was implemented, maybe Yuan Shao had been defeated by himself now, but it was really a pity that things did not develop in the direction Lv Bu expected.
"Ha ha, General Lv Bu is really brave, and his strategy is also different, but it's over. It's useless to say more." It's a pity that Dong Zhuo's plan for Lv Bu could not be implemented. Li Ru was deeply afraid that Dong Zhuo would so cold Hua Xiong's heart, so he laughed and then changed the topic and said, "General Hua Xiong killed Chen Liu all the way to believe there must be a lot of achievements."
"This?" After listening to Li Ru's question, Hua Xiong was stunned and didn't know where to start. If he said it, Hua Xiong did get a lot, but in the end he almost lost his life. Naturally, Hua Xiong did not want to boast, let alone talk about his embarrassment of being almost killed, so he could only look at Lv Bu.
"Haha, Mr. Li Ru guessed a good guess this time. General Hua Xiong first beheaded Yu and then Pan Feng under Chen Liucheng. If it hadn't been for the great power of the princes' coalition, we wouldn't have been in a hurry to come back." Lv Bu laughed and only said how powerful Hua Xiong was, but he didn't mention that Hua Xiong was almost killed by Guan Yu. Thanks to Lv Bu's rescue, he was obviously afraid that Hua Xiong would lose face and deliberately saved face for Hua Xiong.
"Hahaha, I thought that only my son Lv Bu was the most brave in our army. This time, Hua Xiong, you first killed Bao Zhong in the water pass, defeated Bao Xin, and killed Yu She and Pan Feng in Chen Liu. The power is not inferior to my son Lv Bu. Why don't you two worry about pacifying the world?" Hearing Hua Xiong's record, Dong Zhuo was really happy and looked up to the sky and smiled. After that, he grabbed Hua Xiong and Lv Bu's hands tightly and looked very satisfied.
"Your Excellency, Hua Xiong has a negative trust. Please punish him." Seeing that Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo treated him so kindly, Hua Xiong was grateful for a moment and knelt down and said, "In this battle, although it was true that my subordinates killed Yu Shu and Pan Feng, their lives were almost taken away. If General Lv Bu hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that they would have been in a different place now, and they didn't dare to bow, just begged. He can follow General Lv Bu around and play in front of the saddle and back in return for saving his life. Hua Xiong knelt on the ground and said the truth with a snot and tears. This shocked the generals on the spot, but they didn't expect that Hua Xiong would say what he wanted to follow Lv Bu. Although Hua Xiong said this, there is no malice, it sounds very different from others. It must be that Lv Bu is now a strong general, and he is second to none among all forces in Dong Zhuo's army. If Dong Zhuo's first general also follows Lv Bu, even Dong Zhuo will have to be afraid of Lv Bu's strength.
"Why did General Hua Xiong say this? Although I am the prime minister's son, I am also a subordinate of the prime minister. The reason why I save you is that I am the prime minister's son. As long as you work hard for the prime minister, you will repay Lv Bu. How can you talk about following him? Don't mention this in the future. Lv Bu looked at Hua Xiong and said seriously.
Lv Bu naturally knew that Hua Xiong was sincere. He must have always been proud of Hua Xiong as a general. Only when he walked between life and death did he want to follow Lv Bu to repay Lv Bu's life-saving kindness and follow Lv Bu to learn martial arts, but all this is not allowed by the situation at this time, although Lv Bu also likes Hua Xiong very much, hoping that he can be taken as his subordinate.
"Hahaha, General Hua Xiong is indeed a temperamental person." Seeing that Lv Bu knew how to choose, Li Ru was very relieved. Li Ru did not want to make any more moths within him when the war was approaching, so he laughed and said, "General Hua Xiong, the Prime Minister, beheaded several enemy generals in a row. General Lv Bu helped Hua Xiong. It must be a good story of our army's sincere cooperation. Prime Minister Why don't adults give them something with the icing on the cake? Li Ru's eyes turned and said, "
"Okay, just reward each of them with ten beautiful women, fifty pieces of silk and fifty thousand pieces of money." Dong Zhuo opened his mouth and rewarded a lot of finance. Dong Zhuo also knew that the war was not easy to make trouble. The best way was to give a reward, and everything was being decided after the war.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Lv Bu and Hua Xiong hurriedly thanked them.
"You have made great contributions for me. What have you got from a little wealth? I want you to be loyal. In the future, you will naturally have money and beauties." Dong Zhuo comforted Lv Bu and Hua Xiong, and then said to Li Ru, "Li Ru, let's talk about your plan."
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister." Li Ru turned back and said to the generals, "I have used a method of alienation and temporarily tripped Sun Quan and Yuan Shu's hands and feet, but it can't be delayed for too long. Therefore, the Prime Minister personally led the troops to Zhongmou to defeat Yuan Shao as soon as possible and relieve the worries of our army. As long as Yuan Shao is defeated, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian naturally dare not make a failure. Li Ru gave a general introduction to the situation at this time.
"I don't know when you are going to go to war with Yuan Shao?" Lu Bu asked.
"It should not be late. Naturally, the earlier the better. Our army has taken Xingyang and Zhongmou. If we can take the counties around Chen Liu, Chen Liu will be a lamb in the lonely city that can only be slaughtered." Li Ru said.
"Yes, Yuan Shao must not know that the Prime Minister has stationed Zhongmou with a large army now. It's better for our army to start action tomorrow, just to catch the enemy off guard." Niu Fu first expressed his support for Li Ru's battle plan.
"Since it's not too late, it's not bad to start the war tomorrow. Please give me some instructions on what you need to do." Lv Bu nodded to Li Ru and asked.
"Since General Lv Bu and General Hua Xiong have appeared in Chen Liu, Yuan Shao must have known that you have come to Zhongmou, then General Lv Bu will join General Hua Xiong and General Zhang Ji to defend Zhong Mou to attract the main enemy, and the rest of the generals will act separately to attack the counties around Chen Liu. I don't know what you think?" Li Ru looked at Lv Bu and the generals and asked.
"Mr. Lv Bu has no problem with his plan. It's just that there must be few soldiers in this way. I don't know if you are going to let the Prime Minister stay there?" Since Lv Bu Huaxiong and Zhang Ji want to stay in Zhongmou to attract the enemy's firepower, Dong Zhuo can't stay in Zhongmou, otherwise Dong Zhuo will be in danger. Seeing Li Ru's arrangement, Niu Fu asked.
"General Niu Fu can rest assured that Fan Chou has been arranged to respond in Xingyang when he came. As long as there is a slight difference, Fan Chou will naturally protect the prime minister and go back to the water pass first." Li Ru obviously has arranged everything. He asked Niu Fu's questions and answers, but although his plan has arranged a retreat for Dong Zhuo, it has not arranged a retreat for the generals, which inevitably makes the generals a little uneasy.
