Chapter 390
"Wen You, why are you here?"

After Dong Huang left, Dong Zhuo felt uneasy, he always felt that Dong Huang should not be sent to end the heir, although the three of Dong Huang dared to fight, Dong Zhuo was afraid that they would take the initiative to challenge.

While Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to chase the three of them, Hu Zhen almost defeated the Lucheng army. He knew that the Lucheng army's tactics and power, and Hu Zhen's prudence, would definitely be able to slow down the attacking speed of Liu Bei's army. You can enter Hangu Pass at the entrance, there is a natural danger Hangu Pass, and the eighteen princes are not afraid of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was worried, when he suddenly saw Li Ru coming from the direction of Hangu Pass, he was overjoyed: "Wen You is really my confidant, I am worried!"

When Li Ruma approached, there was a beautiful general next to Li Ru, who would stand out among a group of big bosses in Xiliang.

Dong Zhuo smiled when he saw him: "Aduo, how fast!"

The general rolled off the saddle and got off his horse, crawled forward and said: "I have seen the lord, Niu Zhonglang will receive the letter from the lord, and he will order a certain rider to come here day and night."

"En! Let's get up, now that you come, I can enter the customs with peace of mind. Can you still break the queen?"

Dong Zhuo personally stepped forward to help him and asked.

The general said loudly: "A certain person is willing to fight to the death for the lord."

"Ok!"

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Dong Huang has already gone to Gucheng, your task is to bring the bandit army, don't let them attack the queen."

"No! I'll go here."

After that will be finished, immediately take the headquarters straight to the army.

Dong Zhuo held Li Ru's hand after he left and said, "Can the emperor settle properly?"

Li Ru nodded: "General Niu Zhonglang (Niu Fu) personally led the army to Hangu Pass, and ordered him to escort His Majesty and all the officials into Chang'an."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "That's good. His Majesty Li Jue will return to Chang'an, and Guo Si will be able to sit back and relax for a while!"

Li Ru nodded, glanced at Dong Zhuo a few times but did not see Dong Huang and asked, "My lord, where is Mr. Huang?"

Dong Zhuo said: "Someone ordered him to go back to Gucheng to attack Liu Bei and buy me a day or two."

"Hey! My lord, I'm afraid Mr. Huang won't wait for Liu Bei to attack."

Li Ru thought of the hesitant Dong Min he met earlier. Dong Huang was defeated in Pingyin, and Dong Huang would definitely go to Pingyin to fight Liu Bei. Is he the best heir?
Dong Zhuo frowned: "Wenyou Wuyou, I have ordered Hu Wencai to supervise the army."

Li Ru said anxiously: "I'm afraid that Hu Wencai will be defeated again, and he won't be able to suppress Mr. Huang."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, yes, he had thought about it, but at that time there was really no one under his command.

As Li Ru thought, Hu Zhen chased after Dong Huang, but was humiliated by Dong Huang after failing to dissuade him. Even Fan Chou and Zhang Ji looked down on him, thinking that he was afraid of Liu Bei.

Hu Zhen could only watch the three of them kill towards Pingyin, he couldn't dissuade Dong Juan, and he had no face to meet Dong Zhuo, so he had to follow Dong Juan to Pingyin.

Dong Zhuo was annoyed when he heard the words: "Someone was careless, Wen You, what should I do now?"

Li Ru paced for a while, and said: "Liu Bei went to Pingyin. He had two choices. One was to take Luoyang, and the other was to save the emperor. Now that the young emperor is dead and the emperor has entered the pass, as long as we don't fight him, he will also take some There is no waiting."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "How many millions?"

"As many as you can gather!"

Li Ru sighed: "If necessary, the million people can be left on the straight road. It will take at least a few days for Liu Bei to gather the million people before reaching Hangu Pass."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Will Liu Bei suffer from being dumb?"

Li Rudao: "Liu Bei walks the world with benevolence and righteousness. If he doesn't gather these millions of people, his reputation for benevolence and righteousness will be lost!"

"good."

Dong Zhuo's suppressed mood suddenly became much lighter, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately order people to urge the people to enter the customs, and kill anyone who deliberately delays!"

"promise!"

With Dong Zhuo's order, many dead souls appeared on the straight road from Gucheng to Hangu Pass.

At Mengjindu, after a whole morning of scrambling, Lucheng's army had all crossed the river. As for the spare horses, they had already appeared in the uninhabited mountain village where Feng Shu and the others looked like.

Liu Beiling wanted to order Zhang Yang to garrison Hanoi, but at Zhang Yang's strong request, Liu Bei asked Guan Qiuyi to sit in Mengjin to wait for Xia Mou's reinforcements, and let Zhang Yang accompany the army to wait.

Liu Bei took Zhao Yun's [-] cavalry archers as the vanguard, Guan Yu, Zhang Yang, and Wuqiu Xing's troops as the central army, and Zhang Yun's troops as the rear. half.

The lands of Xiliang and Sanfu are vast and sparsely populated, while the lands of Bingzhou and Sanjin are even less developed. Millions of people including Zhang Yan have already migrated, but Liu Bei doesn't mind a little more population to enrich Bingzhou.

Dong Huang drove directly from Gucheng to Pingyin. In his impression, although there were many soldiers under the command of the Guandong princes, most of them were newly recruited soldiers. They couldn't even have a piece of armor. How could this be the battle-tested Xiliang iron cavalry? opponent.

The defeat of Hu Zhen and the death of Hua Xiong were nothing more than the incompetence of the two, and Hua Xiong was even more stupid. He knew that Guan Yu was extraordinary in martial arts, but he still challenged Guan Yu. It was purely mentally ill.

Now Dong Huang has 4000 cavalry from the headquarters, and more than [-] from Fan Chou and Zhang Ji schools. These [-] to [-] Xiliang iron cavalry will surely crush Liu Bei's Lucheng Army into meat paste.

Dong Juan didn't hide his intentions, so he didn't even send scouts.

Therefore, his whereabouts were easily known by Zhao Yun. While Zhao Yun sent someone to notify Liu Bei, he chose a terrain that was favorable to him, and was ready to snipe or harass the Lucheng Army at any time.

"Six or seven thousand riders?"

Liu Bei was shocked when he received a report from Zhao Yun's scouts. Xiliang iron cavalry had been fighting Qianghu for a long time, and their combat effectiveness was extraordinary.

Guan Yu's Xiyuan elite was originally the elite of the Forbidden Army, Liu Bei's white scorpion soldiers, and Zhao Yun's cavalry archers.

These victories were all coincidences. For example, in the head-to-head battle outside the capital, Liu Bei's army was defeated. This is enough to prove that only a small elite army is not enough to win the confrontation with an army of [-] or hundreds of thousands. The army must be expanded. At least ten thousand people can do it.

"My lord, I am willing to lead my headquarters to fight against Dong Huang."

Guan Yu seemed to see Liu Bei's hesitation, and said in a loud voice.

Zhang Yang also said: "A certain person is willing to fight to the death."

"A certain class is willing to fight to the death."

The rest of the generals shouted one after another.

"My lord, the military spirit is available."

Jia Xu flirtatiously pulled Liu Bei out of the situation where he was almost forced into the palace. Maybe Guan Yu and Zhang Yang did not have this intention, but their actions have formed a tendency to force the palace. It caused the general to be alienated.

However, Jia Xu's words turned this awkward atmosphere into an atmosphere deliberately provoked by Liu Bei, turning harmful into beneficial. This is the role of top counselors.

"Order, Zhao Yun monitors Dong Huang's troops and lures them into favorable terrain for our army to fight decisively with them. The rest of the generals check their equipment and personnel and are ready for battle at any time."

Liu Bei shouted abruptly.

"promise!"

All the generals listened to the order to prepare.

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu, is it really necessary to fight to the death?
Jia Xu said: "My lord, why did the princes garrison Suanzao and not go forward? Why did Yuan Shao never come out of Yecheng? Why did Yuan Shu stay in Luyang? Without him, everyone is afraid of the Xiliang iron cavalry! My lord fought the Xiliang iron cavalry If you win, you will lose the prestige of the Xiliang cavalry, and if you lose, you will be honored as a loyal army who will fight alone against the Xiliang cavalry."

Jia Xu's words made Liu Bei suddenly think of Cao Cao. Didn't Cao Cao integrate into the gentry and get rid of the hat of the eunuch by relying on his reputation of chasing Xiliang iron cavalry alone?Is this still a defeat?If he wins, he may be able to cleanse his reputation even more.

Liu Bei is not afraid to fight recklessly with the Xiliang iron cavalry, but he is afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss. Since it is beneficial, so what if he fights recklessly?After all, the real Lucheng Army elite is still in Hanoi?
