Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter Fifty-Two

"My lords, Dong Zhuo is stationed behind the pass. It is time to send out troops to suppress the rebellion. Why do you stop?" Cheng Gao, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan came to the tents of the princes, looked at the princes who were drinking and having fun, and frowned slightly. wrinkle.

Since Gongsun Zan and the others captured Chenggao two days ago, the coalition forces have been stationed in Chenggao. Afterwards, they fought a battle with Xu Rong who rushed over, and they were defeated as expected. Not to mention Xu Rong's ability to govern the army, the coalition army has also seen it before. Cao Cao also had to admit that Xu Rong was here, pressing down on the princes like a mountain.

And then, Dong Zhuo personally brought the army to Chenggao to confront the coalition forces.

I thought it would be a protracted and bitter battle, but looking at the princes talking loudly in the hall at the moment, drinking and cursing, Cao Cao wanted to overturn the table. Until now, the only decent battle is the enemy himself playing with himself to death , almost all other victories were defeated, and the three princes of Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, and Sun Jian were even defeated. At this time, they are not serious about reorganizing the army, but they drink and enjoy themselves all day in the customs. What is this?

"Meng De, it's just that we can't wait, it's just that the Xiliang army is fierce. Outside the city of Chenggao, the mountain road is narrow. Although we have a large force, we can't use it well. Sending troops at this time, taking Xu Rong alone is like a mountain. Guancheng blocks us, so we might as well garrison here first, so that Dong Zhuo's energy will be exhausted before we can fight." Tao Qian came forward with a glass of wine, handed it to Cao Cao and said with a smile.

Cao Cao couldn't say what he was like now, but he had a premonition that this vigorous alliance to seek the board of directors might end in a way that ended without a problem.

He couldn't be more clear about what the princes were thinking. Dong Zhuo had already moved the people of Heluo, the emperor and the court to Chang'an, and now there was only an empty city left in Luoyang. In other words, Dong Zhuo would leave Luoyang for Chang'an sooner or later. The soldiers of the princes were able to take Luoyang without bloodshed. The oath of the original oath to go to the army is considered complete, and there is an explanation to the world.

As for the matter of begging for Dong, it was actually just for the legitimate separatism of one side. Now that Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, he also sent a signal that he would no longer manage the Guandong princes.

The goal has been achieved, so naturally there is no need to fight and kill. The Han Dynasty must be saved if it can be saved, but the Xiliang army is too fierce, and the terrain here in Chenggao is not good. There are too many reasons.

Cao Cao took the wine from Tao Qian, drank it all in one gulp, and then said no more. He couldn't go out to fight Dong Zhuo alone. is the best opportunity.

"Leader." Gongsun Zan bowed to Yuan Shao, "Baima Yicong suffered a lot of damage after this battle. I would like to say goodbye first, and go back to Youzhou to select sharp men and rebuild Baima Yicong. After the Baima Yicong is completed, Come help again!"

Youzhou is far away from here, so this time when Gongsun Zan came to join the alliance, he brought only Baima Yicong and no extra troops. In the battle before Hulao Pass, Baima Yicong fought against the Northern Army first, and was later defeated by Hua Xiong. Leading the Xiliang cavalry to charge wildly was also the most intense time in that battle. After the battle, more than half of Baima Yicong's casualties were counted. Looking at his posture now, he will not be able to fight for a while, so Gongsun Zan resigned. Going back to Youzhou to reorganize Baima is true, but as for coming back...

In the current situation, Gongsun Zan is not a fool. He can't see that this alliance may come to an end. The world's princes have become divided. As the hardest one in this battle, Gongsun Zan brought Bai Mayi and came here from a thousand miles away. The alliance is not about shouting and cheering. The alliance has to give what it wants, and if it doesn't give it, it can ask Dong Zhuo for it. Anyway, I must have the benefits.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Gongsun Zan, opened his mouth, but finally couldn't say anything. Baima Yicong and Sun Jian's Changsha Army were the two most capable troops in the coalition.

The Changsha army was abolished by Lu Bu. Although Sun Ce is in charge of the army now, even Sun Jian has been beaten to death. It is obvious that he has lost his initial vigor. Now Gongsun Zan is leaving. Go, at least 10% of the combat power of the coalition forces will be lost.

In the end, Cao Cao didn't speak. Gongsun Zan's request was reasonable, and he had no reason to stop it. Does it mean that he must leave his wealth and life here?

"Alright." Yuan Shao nodded silently when he heard the words, brought two glasses of wine to Gongsun Zan, handed Gongsun Zan a glass and said, "The heroism of the white horse is an eye-opener for someone. Shao is here waiting for Bogui to return. At that time You and I will fight against the national thief again!"

"Thank you, Leader." Gongsun Zan took the glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, saluted Gongsun Zan with fists, and said goodbye to everyone before turning around and striding away.

Cao Cao didn't stay to drink anymore, and accompanied Gongsun Zan all the way back to the camp.

"Meng De doesn't need to be sent far away." Gongsun Zan walked out the gate, looked at Cao Cao and smiled.

"Let's say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see you again. The mountain is high and the road is far away. Brother Bogui cherishes it." Cao Cao sighed and said to Gongsun Zan, clasping his fists.

"Treasure." Gongsun Zan replied solemnly.

Seeing the back of Gongsun Zan leaving, Cao Cao felt unspeakably uncomfortable. It was not that he did not want to leave Gongsun Zan, but that Gongsun Zan's departure was a signal to the soldiers. He thought that the next battle in Hulaoguan would be the beginning of the allied forces marching forward. Who could have imagined it? It was the last battle, and what was achieved in that battle was only Lu Bu's reputation.

Just as he was about to go back, he saw Wei Zi hurrying towards him in the distance. When Cao Cao saw him, a rare smile appeared on his face: "Zi Xu is coming to the banquet too?"

"Banquet?" Wei Zi was a little puzzled, and shook his head and said, "Just now, Zhongmou's messenger came to report that Lu Bu appeared in Junyi, and it was already two days ago."

Lu Bu was not killed, which was expected by Cao Cao. After all, more than 60,000 people in Hulao were unable to stop Lu Bu. I can still stop it.

"Why did he go to Chenliu?" Cao Cao frowned. Chenliu was the place where they raised their troops. If Lu Bu led his troops to plunder Chenliu, it would be a disaster for Cao Cao and Zhang Miao. .

"I don't know, according to the messenger's report, it was after Lu Bu left Junyi that Junyi sent someone out to inform him, but the Zhongmou garrison had never detected Lu Bu's movements. I was worried that he didn't go back, but instead ravaged Chen Liu. You discuss it!" Wei Zi handed the letter to Cao Cao.

"The news came too late!" Cao Cao frowned. Lu Bu had been away for two days before the news came back. If there was an emergency, it would have been missed.

Wei Zi is helpless, the Zhongmu Shoujun is not theirs, and the Zhongmu Shoujun first reported to Yuan Shu, and then Yuan Shu's people thought it was related to them, and then asked someone to hand it over to Cao Cao. one day.

"Han Hao, the new cavalry captain under Gonglu's command, is Wang Kuang's best friend. Zixu went to discuss this matter with him to see if he could join forces to force Lu Bu out!" Can think of a way to pretend to be someone else to solve this matter.

"Alright, I'll discuss this matter with Han Hao." Wei Zi nodded.

"Thank you."
