Niu Fu was lying on the bed, blood was still oozing from his mouth and nose, his face was like gold paper.

"How's the injury?" Seeing the doctor's pulse signal ended, the lieutenant asked hastily.

"There is no danger of life for the time being, but the heart and lungs have been severely injured, and I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will fall in the future." The doctor said in all directions.

Lu Bu was a bit measured in his actions, and he didn't kick Niu Fu into a paralyzed man, which is already considered cheap for Niu Fu.

"Damn! Rampant! Bullying me that there is no one in Xiliang?" The deputy general shouted happily, but in reality he was stern, and he just pretended to show it to the people below. He would never dare to ask Lu Bu for an explanation.

"Mr. Jia, what should we do now?" The deputy general asked Jia Xu.

Without raising her eyelids, Jia Xu blurted out, "Let's talk about it when the general wakes up."

What can Jia Xu do? The lieutenant general can't help Lu Bu, and Jia Xu can't do the same.

When Lu Bu was still outside the customs, Jia Xu still dared not to plot against Lu Bu, but after Lu Bu came in, Jia Xu didn't dare to break ground on Tai Sui, so let's wait for Niu Fu to wake up.

"That's great." The lieutenant nodded hurriedly, thinking it was a good idea.

The two left Niu Fu's room one after the other, and happened to meet Xu Ying at the sunrise door.

"How is General Niu Fu?" Xu Rong asked pretending to be concerned.

Now that he has entered Hangu Pass, Xu Rong can't be too close to Lu Bu in front of others in the future.

Just like Hua Xiong, avoid arousing the fear of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others.

But Xu Rong is much smarter than Hua Xiong, and there is no need for Lu Bu to tell him about these things.

"It turned out to be General Xu Rong. General Niu Fu is not in danger of his life for the time being, but he is seriously injured and cannot wake up for a while.

The deputy general saw that it was Xu Rong who came, so he didn't have much hostility and told the truth about the situation.

"Fortunately, fortunately, as long as people are fine." Xu Rong said with relief.

"Is there something wrong with General Xu Rong?" the lieutenant general asked.

"That's right, Marquis Duting sent me here to ask for some wine, meat and food." Xu Rong explained his intention, "I wonder who is in charge of the logistics in the pass?"

"What! Ask for wine and meat?!" The lieutenant general immediately became unhappy, "The Xiliang army can't afford it on weekdays, so why give it to the Bingzhou army?"

"I'm just conveying it on behalf of 04, and this matter has nothing to do with me." Xu Rong smiled apologetically, "But as an outsider, I think it's better to meet Du Tinghou's request, and don't make any more troubles."

The deputy general heard the words and was speechless in the room.

Lu Bu asked for wine and meat, and if he didn't give it, there would be consequences. Don't think about it, he would never let it go. When the time came, Lu Bu would really come to the door in person, and his scalp would tingle just thinking about it.

"Mr. Wen He, you are responsible for the logistical affairs, what do you mean?" The deputy general kicked the ball to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu, a thousand-year-old fox who was able to keep changing his family in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and finally died well, how can he not see through the deputy general's careful thinking?

"Since the Marquis of Duting has an order, let's just give it. It's only natural for subordinates to obey the orders of the superior." Jia Xu said expressionlessly.

"Thank you so much, and I can do business easily." Xu Rong cupped his hands in thanks.

The conversation between the three of them had just ended when suddenly the alarm bells rang in the city.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

A soldier hurried over, because he said:

"The big thing is not good, the coalition forces of the princes outside the city are ready to attack."

Since being teased by Lu Bu, the coalition forces of the princes decided to attack Hangu Pass.

Moreover, something like a ladder has no technical content, and it is very simple to build.

After quickly building some ladders, the allied forces of the princes blew the horn of attack, and the army launched an attack on Hangu Pass.

Before Lu Bu kicked Niu Fu, everyone's attention was on the inside, ignoring the situation outside the city for a while.

"Damn it! The lingering allied forces of the princes really dare to attack Hangu Pass." The lieutenant general's face was ugly.

At this moment Niu Fu was comatose and seriously injured, and the dragons in Hangu Pass were leaderless, just as the 200,000 allied forces of the princes attacked, the people in Hangu Pass were panicked and lacked a backbone.

Jia Xu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If she was not careful, Hangu Pass might be breached, and none of them would survive.

"General Xu Rong, inform Marquis Du Ting of the situation, and invite Marquis Du Ting to preside over the overall situation." Jia Xu said quickly.

"I understand, goodbye.

The military situation was urgent, Xu Rong didn't delay, and left with fists clasped.

"Quick!" Jia Xu looked at the lieutenant general, "Go to the top of the city right away, organize the soldiers first, and be sure to hold back.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The lieutenant nodded again and again, and ran to the city gate.

By the time Lu Bu came to the top of the city, the war had already started in full swing.

The geographical advantage of Hangu Pass is far better than that of Hulao United.

Although there are 200,000 troops outside the pass, the function of Xiongguan is to resist the army.

As an iron gate to enter the pass, Dong Zhuo naturally attached great importance to Hangu Pass, otherwise he would not have sent his son-in-law Niu Fu to guard it.

The city has sufficient troops, arrows, rolling stone torreya, tung oil and other defense equipment are all available.

Relying on the tall city walls, it is not a problem at all to block the coalition forces of the princes.

The only thing Hangu Pass lacks at the moment is the backbone.

And when Lu Bu showed up in the city, the only problem was solved.

Like the magic needle of Dinghai, there is no need for Lu Bu to speak to boost morale, and the Xiliang army is full of confidence in an instant.

Although everyone in the Xiliang army hates Lu Bu, none of the Xiliang army will deny Lu Bu's ability.

It can be said that the effect of Lu Bu guarding here is better than that of Niu Fu himself.

Even if Dong Zhuo personally came to Hanguguan to sit in the town, the effect would not necessarily be better than Lu Bu.

The best soldiers in the world must be the Bingzhou Army. In the second month, it was changed to the Xiliang Army.

As a man who conquered Xiliang, Lu Bu's prestige among the Xiliang army was achieved by real swords and guns.

After Lu Bu appeared, he walked back and forth on the top of the wall so that every soldier could see Lu Bu's figure.

The Xiliang army followed suit, relying on the advantages of the pass to defend the city, and the defense was watertight. The coalition forces of the princes could not attack at all in a short period of time.

But Lu Bu's mind at the moment is not on this at all, instead he is thinking about other things.

"Should we open the Hangu Pass and let the allied forces of the princes in?" Lu Bu was thinking about this question at the moment.

Lu Bu no longer wants to be controlled by others. After entering the customs, getting rid of Dong Zhuo's control and gaining autonomy is what Lu Bu has to do.

However, Dong Zhuo is not so easy to kill. If Hangu Pass is opened at this time, and the allied forces of the princes are allowed to enter the pass, and they borrow a knife to kill people, even if Dong Zhuo survives, Lu Bu can completely escape Dong Zhuo's control.

However, if you act like this, once the coalition forces of the princes come in, Lu Bu will also lose control of the situation.

It is easy to ask God, but it is difficult to send God away.

Let the allied forces of the princes come in, and the 200,000 troops will be enough to destroy everything in Guanzhong, and then the situation will be difficult to deal with.

Perhaps Dong Zhuo will die because of this, but Lu Bu will also lose his foothold, and the emperor will surely be rescued from falling into Lu Bu's hands.

If Lu Bu just wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo and live in seclusion with his family in the future, and never care about world affairs, then it would undoubtedly be a very good choice to let the allied forces of the princes enter the pass and play with borrowed knives to kill people.

But this is impossible, born in troubled times, unable to help himself, ran away to live in seclusion, what should the more than ten thousand Bingzhou brothers under him do?

What Lu Bu didn't want was just to kill Dong Zhuo, but also to replace him, control the Guanzhong area, hold the emperor hostage at the same time, and issue orders.

After determining what he wanted and weighing the pros and cons, Lu Bu finally gave up the idea of ​​letting the coalition forces of the princes enter the pass.

The battle started suddenly and ended hastily.

Less than half an hour before and after, the allied forces of the princes called for gold to withdraw their troops.

Before that, it was completely the princes who took the lead. After being teased by Lu Bu, they were overwhelmed, and became angry from embarrassment. Their brains became hot and they made impulsive decisions.

After calming down, looking at the impenetrable Hangu Pass and hearing the increase in the number of deaths under his command, the princes were unwilling to continue wasting troops on Hangu Pass.

Not only that, one day later, the 200,000 troops withdrew directly.

It has been a long time since Cao Cao's coercive edict to raise troops, to the alliance of the Eighteenth Route princes Suanzao, and then to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Many princes have won countless eyeballs and attention in the action of seeking Dong, and earned enough prestige.

Dong Zhuo was beaten to Chang'an, so he had an explanation.

It is true that the princes have a lot of troops, but the consumption of food and grass is equally astonishing.

Especially when the battle line was pulled below Hangu Pass, it became more and more difficult to supply food and grass.

The days to send troops are not short, and the enthusiasm of all the princes to raise troops has been almost wiped out.

Although Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others tried their best to persuade them to stay, the other princes still did not buy it, and finally they broke up, and the alliance of princes disbanded.

The Yuan family brothers still did not give up on the Chuanguo Yuxi, and wanted to pull the army of the princes to break through and seize the Chuanguo Yuxi.

And Liu Bei had even more thoughts. He not only wanted to get back the jade seal, but also wanted to break into Chang'an and rescue the emperor.

The other princes are not stupid, and they are unwilling to waste their troops and food to fight on.

Because of Lu Bu, there was a butterfly effect. The alliance of princes that should have dispersed after taking Luoyang, finally disbanded at Hangu Pass, and returned to their respective places.

After Lu Bu rested at Hangu Pass, he also left with the Bingzhou Army and continued westward.

Pass through Hongnong County, and then arrive at Tongguan.

The guard of Tongguan is Hu Zhen, and he was also very surprised to see Lu Bu.

However, Hu Zhen didn't dare to make a claim and blocked Lu Bu from passing the customs.

Now that Hangu Pass has been released, there is no need for Hu Zhen to offend Lu Bu.

What's more, the story of Niu Fu's beating had already spread to Chang'an, and Hu Zhen had heard about it a long time ago, so he would not take the initiative to make things difficult for him.

Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass, after successfully passing through the two passes, will be the Guanzhong Plain with a flat plain, which is the "Eight Hundred Li Qinchuan Plain".

Continuing westward along the Weishui River, the cavalry moved very fast on the plain, and within a few days, they arrived in Chang'an, Xijing.

Arriving at the outskirts of Chang'an, a scribe greeted him.

"Li Ru, a low-ranking official, see Dutinghou, and congratulate Dutinghou on his triumphant return."

"A little shrimp like you was sent here to meet you? Not even a Sangong?" Lu Bu said contemptuously: "Those who don't know think that Lu has lost the battle.

Li Ru was not annoyed at all when he heard the words, and explained: "Forgive me, Marquis Duting. The capital was moved to Chang'an, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. The three princes and nine ministers in the court have official duties, and they really can't take time off. Please forgive me, Marquis Duting."

"Humph!" Lu Bu snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more.

The two have their own ghosts, one is pretending to be a megalomaniac, and the other is playing a smiling tiger.

"Your Majesty, Xiangguo hosted a banquet in Meiwu, and please move forward." Li Ru issued an invitation.

Zhang Liao on the side couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and began to worry about Lu Bu's safety.

Going to Meiwu, of course, you can't take the army with you, otherwise it will be no different from rebellion.

And go to Meiwu alone, if Dong Zhuo set up a Hongmen Banquet, then Lu Bu will be in danger.

The Eighteenth Route princes had retreated, Dong Zhuo no longer needed to rely on Lu Bu to fight abroad, and Lu Bu's importance plummeted.

"It just so happens that I also have treasures to offer to Xiangguo." Lu Bu agreed directly without hesitation.

If he looks forward and backward at this moment, Li Ru will definitely see the clues.

Going to Heiwu will be risky,

This is an inevitable thing, but it is impossible for Lu Bu to escape the risk that should be taken.

However, Lu Bu would not be foolish enough to go alone. If Dong Zhuo had murderous intentions, even if Lu Bu could fight, he would not be able to leave Meiwu alive.

"Zhang Liao, you return to the barracks with the army."

"Gao Shun, lead five hundred personal guards and follow me to Meiwu."

"Here." The two generals clasped their fists at the same time to accept the order.

You can't go alone, but you can't bring too many people, this must be easy to divide.

Five hundred people, no more, no less, will not make Dong Zhuo overly vigilant, and at the critical moment, Lu Bu is also confident, leading five hundred elites from the camp, and turning Meiwu upside down.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to bring your own soldiers with you when you go to Meiwu 973?" Li Ru asked pretendingly puzzled.

"Don't I deserve to have a guard of honor?" Lu Bu asked back, his tone still so arrogant.

Hearing what Lu Bu said, Li Ru felt relieved, thinking that Lu Bu still had a good face.

It's not that Li Ru was too stupid to be deceived, but that Lu Bu was too stupid before, which left a stereotype on Li Ru, thinking that Lu Bu can't play tricks.

Gao Shun quickly selected the most elite 500 people from the trapped camp, and accompanied Lu Bu to Meiwu.

Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou army back to the barracks, while Xu Rong followed silently, acting as a transparent person.

Starting from Chang'an, continue westward.

After walking for a while, Lu Bu, who was sitting on horseback, saw a city appearing on the horizon.

And when you get closer, this dock needs to be looked up even more.

The outer wall of Meiwu is directly at the same height as the city walls of Chang'an and Luoyang.

It is not so much a dock as it is a small city.

After seeing Mei Wu for the first time, Lu couldn't help but know that this thing can't be broken.

At least Lu Bu brought more than 10,000 Bingzhou troops, so he couldn't take it by storm. Without 50,000 troops and siege equipment, don't even think about it.

If Dong Zhuo has been hiding here, then Lu Bu really has no good way to kill Dong Zhuo.

Follow Li Ru into the interior of Meiwu, and there are even more hidden caves inside.

Arrow towers, watchtowers and other military facilities are all available, and the soldiers in Wubao are also the elite Xiliang army, armed to the teeth.

Lu didn't know that this was Dong Zhuo's strongest trump card army. He selected elites from the Xiliang army and called them the "Flying Bear Army".

Leave.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers you bring stay in the front yard." Li Ru reminded.

"Just wait here, I'll go to meet Xiangguo." Lu Bu said to Gao Shun.

It is obviously impossible to take five hundred personal guards to Dong Zhuo's back residence.

However, five hundred camps entered Meiwu, even if they stayed in the front yard, it was enough for Lu Bu to protect himself.

After handing over the red rabbit horse to Gao Shun for safekeeping, Lu could not go with Li Ru to the depths of Wubao.

"Your Majesty, why don't you bring a weapon to meet your boudoir?" Li Ru said again.

Fang Tian's painted halberd is too precious now, and for safety reasons, Lu Bu decided to keep it with him, just in case.

But if he went to see Dong Zhuo with a weapon, let alone Li Ru, Dong Zhuo would definitely not feel at ease, and was worried that Lu Bu would exchange one for one at the limit.

"You, hold the weapon for me." Lu Bu threw Fang Tian's painted halberd to Xu Rong, with his nostrils upturned.

Li Ru glanced at Xu Rong, but didn't say anything more.

Li Ru thought that Xu Rong was still Dong Zhuo's man, but in fact Xu Rong had become Lu Bu's man.

If there is a conflict between the two sides, Xu Rong will definitely hand over Fang Tian's painting halberd to Lu Bu immediately.

A group of three people, no one was speaking, entered the inner house of Meiwu in silence. .
