Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 6: Eighteen Route Princes Asking for Dong

For a month, the Xiliang Army became the target of training for the Bingzhou Army, and they kept going to the city to challenge the troops.

What was refreshing to the Xiliang army in the city was the slogan shouted by the Bingzhou army, something like "defend the home and the country, fight bloody to the end". The shouts became louder and louder, and the army became more and more orderly.

In the eyes of Dong Zhuo and others, the Bingzhou Army was just here to show off, and they didn't take it to heart at all. It wasn't that Dong Zhuo didn't want to send people to teach Lu Bu a lesson, but that the aristocratic families in the city were ready to make a move. The combined strength of these aristocratic families should not be underestimated. He could only

Take this breath.

During this period, Lu Bu received many letters sent by officials in the city. After reading these letters, Lu Bu burned them directly. The officials in the DPRK even asked him to attack Luoyang, knowing that the strength of the two sides was disparate.

It was clear that they regarded him as a fool. Talking about helping the country and cooperating with the inside and outside were all nonsense. Ding Yuan was deceived by those people and ended up being killed by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru's advice, and in order to establish prestige in the court and win over people's hearts, he promoted party members and established relationships with aristocratic families. Even Yuan Shao, who had opposed him and escaped from the capital, was appointed as the governor of Bohai.

However, Yuan Shao obviously did not buy Dong Zhuo's favor and recruited troops in the Bohai Sea. Due to the Yuan family's name and prestige, many literati and generals were attracted to join him.

After receiving the news that the Xiliang army had arrived in Luoyang in the near future, Lu Bu hurriedly led the army to retreat and stationed outside Sishui Pass. While training his troops, he was waiting for the time for the princes to attack Dong Zhuo. The emperor had been replaced by Dong Zhuo, and the time for the princes to attack Dong was about to come.

coming.

Without Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, who would he send to guard Hulao Pass to resist the coalition forces? How would he fight against the coalition forces?

At this time, the area around Luoyang was not peaceful, and bandits would cause trouble from time to time. The Bingzhou Army was responsible for sending troops to suppress the bandits, and it had a good reputation in the surrounding area.

Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City has always wanted to recruit Lu Bu, but Lu Bu never ignored him, and Lu Bu also followed common sense. Normally, Bingzhou Mu became Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu should rush back to Bingzhou to seize power. This made Dong Zhuo very puzzled.

.

In September, Dong Zhuo saw that things were almost ready, and the Xiliang army entered the city, which further strengthened his confidence, so he ordered his ministers to go to court in Jiade Hall. Dong Zhuo drew his sword in his hand, stood at the head of the ministers, and shouted coldly:

: "Today the emperor is too weak to rule the world. We must establish a new king to revive our great Han Dynasty."

Li Ru then took out the document that he had prepared and said: "Emperor Xiaoling has abandoned his subjects long ago... I hereby depose the emperor as King Hongnong, and the Queen Mother returns to power. Please appoint King Chenliu as the emperor, to obey the heavens and the people, and to comfort the living beings."

hope.”

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Dong Zhuo ordered his attendants to help Liu Bian down to the palace and take off his seal ribbon. Liu Bian burst into tears.

Ding Guan, the minister, cursed loudly: "Dong Zhuo, the old thief, is not a son of man, and everyone will kill him if he wants to. If you dare to bully the emperor, I will splash the blood from your neck."

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered people to drag him out and behead him. No one among the ministers dared to respond. Under the leadership of Dong Zhuo, he paid homage to Liu Xie who had just been elevated to the throne. Dong Zhuo recommended himself as Prime Minister.

When he entered the palace, his prestige was unparalleled. In order to prevent people with malicious intentions in the court from making further fuss, Dong Zhuo secretly ordered Li Ru to kill Liu Bian. The already prosperous man was slapped several times mercilessly by Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Cao Cao, who failed to plot with Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo, fled all the way back to Qiao County to recruit troops.

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, falsely claimed that the Three Dukes of the capital sent letters to various states and counties, stating Dong Zhuo's evil deeds. People from all walks of life responded one after another. Lu Bu outside Sishui Pass also received a letter calling for a crusade against Dong Zhuo.

The princes of the eighteen routes are: the first route is the rear general Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, the second route is Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, the third route is Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, the fourth route is Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, the fifth route is Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, and the sixth route

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun on the seventh route, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang on the eighth route, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei on the ninth route, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai on the tenth route, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling on the eleventh route,

Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou on the 12th route, Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang on the 13th route, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping on the 14th route, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha on the 15th route, Cao Cao, the commander of the 16th route Dianjun, and the prefect of Bohai on the 17th route

Yuan Shao, on the 18th route is Lu Bu, the prefect of Jiuyuan.

The eighteen princes and horses gathered together, really blocking out the sky and the sun, with flags of various colors fluttering in the wind. Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou with neat steps and loud slogans, attracting a lot of attention. The other princes' soldiers and horses along the way gave way solemnly.

In any case, Bingzhou Army is always fighting Dong Zhuo Army, which deserves their admiration.

When the news that the eighteen princes gathered in Suanzao and formed an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo panicked. In his opinion, as long as the emperor was changed, no one in the world would dare to go against him. Unexpectedly, he would attract

The princes from all walks of life were fighting against each other. Although the Xiliang army was elite, the princes also had strong troops and strong horses. They used the power of Liangzhou to fight against the world. Dong Zhuo did not have the confidence yet.

"Wen You, now the eighteen princes have gathered together to falsely claim five hundred thousand and are coming to Luoyang to kill them. How can we find out the plan?"

"Prime Minister, don't panic. The princes of the Eighteenth Route falsely claimed that there were 500,000 people, but at most they only had more than 200,000 people. In addition, the princes have different ideas, so they will definitely not attack the pass with all their strength. Although our army is small, the city is strong and the food and grass are sufficient.

All you need to do is send a general to guard Sishui Pass, and when the princes have exhausted their supplies, they will naturally retreat, and Luoyang will have no worries." Li Ru said.

"Okay, order Hua Xiong to immediately mobilize 50,000 troops and go to Sishui Pass. Just holding the pass will be a great achievement." Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this.

Lu Bu led Cao Xinggao Shun to the princes' tent. As a person from the future world, he wanted to see what these famous figures like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei looked like.

"Presumably this is General Lu Bru who is loyal to the country, right?"

Lu Bu looked questioningly at the general who was nearly two heads shorter than him and was wearing a military uniform with piercing eyes. "It's me. May I ask who the general is?"

"I am Cao Cao, whose courtesy name is Mengde."

"I have admired my name for a long time. Brother Meng De assassinated the old thief Dong Zhuo alone. It is known all over the world. When I see you today, it is really extraordinary. If you don't mind, Meng De can just call me Fengxian." Lu Bu complimented.

"Okay, then I'm going to be disrespectful. If Fengxian becomes a tiger general, he really makes the old thief Dong Zhuo have no food and lodging." Cao Cao laughed.

"Brother Meng De is so complimentary, please come in." Faced with a well-known figure, Lu Bu lowered his attitude. Although his force value is high, he lacks independent talents. After a famous family like Cao Cao, in troubled times,

, there will definitely be many famous people who follow them, which is also their own disadvantage, and it is a basic principle not to have bad relations with them.

Cao Cao, who originally thought that Lu Bu was just a brave man, couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Lu Bu's performance also made Cao Cao have some favorable impressions. People from aristocratic families generally look down on such warriors. Cao Cao is an alternative among them. After entering the big tent, he enthusiastically

Lu Bu introduced everyone.
