The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 34 General Qiaoqi
Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi led the army to meet Wang Kuang. Unexpectedly, Wang Kuang was incompetent and led the remaining army directly towards the reinforcements. The three troops and horses were mixed together, and the whole army was in chaos for a while.

After Lu Bu was excited, he discovered that the enemy had reinforcements coming. He was originally preparing to withdraw. Unexpectedly, he had an unexpected surprise. He found that the troops and horses in front were in chaos. Without thinking, he led his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to kill them.

The Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand was swung like chopping melons and vegetables, killing indiscriminately among the enemy troops. General Mu Shun was originally prepared to stop him, but he couldn't resist Lu Bu for a round and was killed instantly.

In the chaotic army, Lu Bu's eyes were red, waving the weapons in his hands, harvesting one life after another. Seeing this, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry around them let out bursts of cheers, like tigers descending from the mountain, attacking all around, their fighting power soaring.

The general is a brave soldier, and Lu Bu's bravery inspired the blood in the hearts of the Bingzhou Langqi, killing Qiao Mao's army and retreating continuously, not daring to resist at all.

Qin Shou led the army to follow closely. Looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Lu Bu, you have become famous."

Three thousand cavalry charged into the military formation of tens of thousands of troops. Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed more than a dozen generals such as Fang Yue and Mu Shun. He showed his bravery in the chaos. Qiao Mao and others did not dare to fight with him. If you resist, you can only escape, which shows how brave you are.

"Yes! This man is a madman."

Zhang Liao also nodded repeatedly.

Lu Bu was too powerful. Although Qin Shou's martial arts surpassed Lu Bu, he would never do it unless he had three thousand cavalry to attack an army of tens of thousands of troops unless he had no choice.

But Lu Bu dared to do this, and he succeeded, although Qin Shou was partly responsible for it.

"General, shall we charge forward?" Xia Houlan asked.

His eyes flashed, and his face showed excitement. As long as you are a general, who would not want to kill a powerful enemy in the chaos of the army.

"Although this move made Lu Bu famous, how can we let go of the situation in front of us?" Qin Shou raised his sword with light.

"attack!"

With a roar, he was the first to kill.

The ten thousand cavalry behind him followed closely and rushed into the rebel army.

Although Lu Bu will be fulfilled, everyone wants the military exploits.

With the addition of the Xiaoqi battalion, Wang Kuang and others could no longer hold on. They were defeated and fled in panic.

If Yuan Shao had not received the news and led a large army to come to support, I am afraid that the entire army would have been annihilated. Even so, the coalition forces also showed horror when they saw the menacing Lu Bu and Qin Shou.

"Lü Bu and Qin Shou are so brave that the princes of Shibali must join forces. Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to match them if they fight alone."

Yuan Shao looked at the two people who were slowly retreating and said quietly.

"It will be difficult to kill Dong Zhuo without removing Lu Bu and Qin Shou."

Everyone also nodded, with worries deep in their eyes. Such a god who dared to charge into the battle with three thousand soldiers and horses was either a madman or a brave man. Lu Bu and Zhu Shou were obviously the latter.

It is impossible to deal with such a person alone. Only by working together can we defeat the two of them.

After Sun Jian, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces last time, these Guandong princes no longer had any psychological burden on this matter. As soon as they came up, they just wanted to attack the two of them together, so there was no sense of shame.

Qin Shou and Lu Bu withdrew their troops and returned to Hulao Pass, and soon discovered something unusual.

The soldiers welcomed him warmly, with enthusiasm in their eyes, but the generals' faces were ugly, without any joy.

"The granary in Luoyang was burned down."

Li Su said in a low voice.

Qin Shou's expression changed greatly after hearing this. The food and grass for the hundreds of thousands of troops depended entirely on Luoyang. In recent years, Guanzhong was in ruins and the food and grass itself was scarce. However, the Kwantung Allied Forces blocked the roads, and Luoyang's food was also used up. Now that the food in Luoyang has been burned cleanly, it means that the 200,000-strong army will soon be without food. No wonder there was no joy on the faces of the generals when they saw the two of them winning.

"What are you going to do, Prime Minister? Withdraw the troops?"

Qin Shou immediately understood why in history, Dong Zhuo was sitting in danger of Hulao and Si River, but finally retreated from Guanzhong. The main reason was food and grass. The army was short of food and grass, which forced Dong Zhuo not to retreat.

"The enemy is right in front of us, how can we retreat?"

Li Su shook his head.

Qin Shou nodded after hearing this, but had other thoughts in his mind, and immediately followed Li Su and others into the hall.

"Meet the Prime Minister."

Qin Shou saw Dong Zhuo standing up, his face red, breathing heavily, and his face was full of anger.

"Thank you Yilu for your hard work."

Dong Zhuo nodded with a forced smile on his face.

"Prime Minister, I heard that Luoyang's grain and grass were burned? I wonder what the Prime Minister's countermeasures are?" Qin Shou hesitated for a while before asking.

"Could it be that Yilu has some countermeasures?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Prime Minister, it's nothing more than retreating the troops."

"The Kwantung Rats are divided and fighting for power. Their goal is just to gain fame, not to truly rescue the emperor. The general thought that it would be better to give up Luoyang, as if he were throwing a bone to these Kwantung Rats. The Prime Minister temporarily withdrew his troops to Chang'an and returned to Chang'an. Guanzhong Base Camp.”

"After these Guandong rats get Luoyang, they will definitely not go on an expedition. After all, Hangu Pass is more difficult and dangerous than Hulao Pass, and it is more difficult for them to transport food and grass. As time goes by, the opponent will retreat without the Prime Minister sending troops."

Qin Shou talked eloquently.

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up after hearing this. Luoyang is close to Guandong, and these people will attack him at any time. But if he returns to Chang'an, it will be different. That is his territory.

"Hmph, the troops of Guandong are outside the pass now. If we withdraw our troops at this time, the enemy will be able to press on us immediately. How can we safely withdraw to the center of Guanzhong?" Lu Bu snorted coldly when he saw this.

"Could it be that General Qin is willing to lead the army to break up the enemy?"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he immediately looked at Qin Shou with strange eyes.

Everyone knows that cutting off the queen is a dangerous job. If you don't pay attention, you will be hunted.

"If the Prime Minister is willing, the general will be willing to cut off the queen."

Qin Shou glanced at Lu Bu with pity and followed Dong Zhuo back, which was not necessarily a good thing.

"Okay, it is rare for Yilu to be loyal. I will confer you the title of Knight Cavalry General with an army of 30,000. I will leave you with food and grass for another five days. You will stay in Hulao for five days and return to Guanzhong after five days."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and responded quickly.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Qin Shou was very happy after hearing this.

At this time, General Xiaoqi only sounds nice, but in fact he is just a general with a mixed title. It is only at this time that Qin Shou can be called a general.

It has to be said that Dong Zhuo was still very stingy in this regard. If he were an ordinary person, at this time, he would have already named his subordinates as governors and governors instead of generals.

Without territory nothing is of much use.
