Chapter 364 Dong Zhuo alienates Lu Fengxian
Four days have passed since the West Road attack on Zhao's coalition forces were divided into multiple routes, each besieging Lin County, Gaolang and Lishi, which were in Xihe County. It has been four days since Wu Jiu's literary book friends uploaded
Guan Yu and Lu Bu, who were swimming in the Qiangma Water, were waiting for the latest battle report from Xihe with concern. In the cold winter, the 40,000 cavalrymen were waiting anxiously for the order to charge.
According to Shadow's reconnaissance, it can be confirmed that the troops behind the West Road Alliance are Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, with a population of about 60,000, and are currently operating in the area between the Sheyan River and the Yellow River. Nowadays, there are thick ice layers on the surface of the two rivers, and the cavalry can intersperse back and forth effortlessly. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army maintains an appropriate distance from the Zhao coalition forces that cross the Yellow River east, and can support each other; at the same time, it maintains a warning distance from the Flying Tiger Army and the Canglang Army. Once the Pass is discovered, the troops of Lu and the two men will deter and fight back with the advantage of the number of people.
Some time ago, because of underestimating the enemy, Dong Zhuo lost two generals, Li Jue and Guo Si, and 20,000 of the most elite cavalry. He is still scared of Guan Yu and Lu Bu. Staff Li Ru suggested not to face the head-on battle with the cavalry led by Guan Yu and Lu Bu, and always keep the news of the Xiliang cavalry walking in groups and waiting for the attack on all walks of life. Dong Zhuo adopted Li Ru's opinion for the reason of preserving his power, and always kept a distance from the Flying Tiger Army and the Canglang Army. Whenever there was a turbulence, he would move east of the Yellow River.
Because he did not receive the specific combat missions of the front line command, Guan Yu and Lu Bu had to wait patiently and did not launch a fierce attack on Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army without authorization. Although the Flying Tiger Army and Canglang Army now have 40,000 cavalry, they could not easily launch a head-on battle to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred themselves without guaranteeing absolute advantage.
Just when Guan Yu and Lu Bu were about to lose patience, the Shadow Team members finally sent Zhao Xing's secret letter and had a comprehensive understanding of the current battlefield situation.
It can be said that in Bingzhou, except for Taiyuan County, no enemy has been found, the rest of the prefectures and counties cannot survive. To the east of Shangdang County, Zhu Ye once again launched a tough battle against Huguan; large-scale Xianbei cavalry were found in Wuyuan and Shuofang counties; several counties in Yanmen County were attacked by Heishan Army, and suffered heavy casualties; there are now five people from the imperial coalition forces in Xihe County...
Looking at the secret report in his hand, Guan Yu couldn't help but frown and tighten, wishing to immediately enter the frontal battlefield to help the Zhenbei Legion resolve the crisis. Just as Guan Yu was worried about the safety of Bingzhou, Lu Bu, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, not far from the Canglang Army, met a mysterious guest.
The one who came to see Lu Bu quietly was Li Su, an old general under Dong Zhuo. Since he had joined forces with Lu Bu with Dong Zhuo's good horse, Li Su had to walk with Lu Bu during festivals over the years. The two had a very good relationship, often eating and lying on the same seat. Although the two armies are now in a state of war with each other, Li Su should not have come to meet Lu Bu rashly, if Li Su was specially commissioned by Dong Zhuo, it would be a different matter.
At first, Dong Zhuo did not care about the threat that Lu Bu might bring. He felt that Lu Bu was just a general who commanded ten thousand people, and he was not overly capable than the many generals under his command. Dong Zhuo knew that Lu Bu could fight, but was not afraid of Lu Bu. There were many generals under Dong Zhuo, such as Ye Xiong and Zhang Xiu. Even if Lu Bu was willing to betray the old master Zhao Xing and came to join him, Dong Zhuo still had to consider it. After all, no one dared to believe too much about Erwuzi. Since Lu Bu could betray Zhao Xing, he might not be able to betray him Dong Zhuo one day.
Since Guo Si and Li Jue were killed by Lu Bu and Guan Yu respectively, Dong Zhuo finally felt the powerful attack power of the Flying Tiger Army that made people feel chilled, so he was thinking about how to win Lu Bu over. Li Ru then offered a suggestion and suggested that Dong Zhuo send Li Su to alienate the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhenbei Army. Even if Lu Bu cannot be won over, Zhao Xing should guard against and doubt Lu Bu. As long as there is a rift between the Zhenbei Army and the general of the Flying Tiger Army, one day the crack will become an irreconcilable trenches, and then it will be natural to win over Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru's analysis was thorough, so he attracted Li Su, promised many benefits and high positions, and entrusted Li Su to go to the Flying Tiger Army camp to persuade Lu Bu. Last time, in order to win over Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to send a sweat-blooded horse from the Western Regions, which made Lu Bu very happy. This time, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and once again asked Li Su to lead a Yanqi horse produced in the Western Regions to make friends with Lu Bu.
I saw the BMW that Dong Zhuo asked Li Su to give to Lu Bu: nine feet tall, neck and body, raised like a phoenix, and the white hair was not varied in its body. There were two distances between the tibia of the hind feet, and the scales were hidden in the hair. It was indeed a top-notch horse that did not belong to the red rabbit in the past. Although the "chasing wind" that Lu Bu rode now is rare, it was a hybrid horse after all, and its bloodline was not pure enough. Compared with this Yanqi horse, there was still a clear gap.
As the saying goes, don’t hit people with a smile, let alone old friends who come with BMW. So Lu Bu, who has always been careless, called Li Su into his tent in front of his soldiers. After some conversation, Li Su learned that Guo Jia, the military advisor of the Flying Tiger Army, had been transferred to the Dragon Cavalry Army to take office. Now that Lu Bu’s military advisor has not been re-arranged in front of his tent, he immediately shouted in his heart, "God helps me."
So Li Su winked in secret and asked Lu Bu to withdraw his left and right guards, and told him what Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit, and promised that as long as Lu Bu was willing to follow the general's mansion in Zhenxi, Dong Zhuo originally recognized Lu Bu as his adopted son and would pass on his title and fief to Lu Bu in the future.
Lu Bu, who had always been soft-hearted, showed fanatical joylessness when he saw Yanqi horse. When he heard Li Su say that Dong Zhuo promised to recognize him as his godson, he immediately showed a look of desire on his face. He grabbed Li Su's hand and asked excitedly: "Brother Weigong (Li Su's name) is serious?"
When Li Su saw Lu Bu's good horse, he was moved to hear the recruitment. He felt that there was a chance to get away with Lu Bu this time, so he patted his chest and promised that Dong Zhuo had always lamented that Lu Bu was invincible in the world. If he could be followed by such a general, it would be a big problem to get the world. Li Su added fire and said that Lu Bu was defeated by Zhao Xing in Lishi City in the past because he was simply because he had fallen into Zhao Xing's treacherous plan. Now Zhao Xing rode a Red Rabbit BMW and fought with Zhang Fei hundreds of times on the east bank of the Yellow River. Zhang Fei's horses fell to the ground with exhaustion. It was not entirely due to Lu Bu's contribution to the horse.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of the downpour, you will be afraid of the wind in your ears. Li Su’s old story is mentioned again, and it happened to be the pain point of Lu Bu. The red rabbit horse should indeed belong to Lu Bu, but Zhao Xing took it as himself. Listening to Li Su’s account, Lu Bu’s face turned from white to red, and then from red to green. Finally, he stood up angrily without saying a word, leaving Li Su alone, and turned it to the back account alone and became sulky.
