I heard Li Ru asking.
Lu Bu immediately responded with a "you don't understand" look, and then explained with a smile.
"General Huangfu offended Thief Dong. After the old thief took control of the troops and the court, he was almost killed by him. If his son had not interceded with Thief Dong, Old General Huangfu would definitely be dead today."
"Besides, General Huangfu is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. You and I are not trying to stand on our own, but to root out evil for the imperial court and destroy the traitors. General Huangfu knows that we can only help each other with all our strength."
"As for whether he can mobilize soldiers and horses in the army, this question lies with the Northern Army. Brother Wenyou doesn't have to worry at all. Although General Huangfu has been deprived of all military positions and removed military power, he is still in the army. He has a very high prestige in the army, and many of his generals were his former subordinates and were greatly promoted by him."
"As long as General Huangfu is willing, as long as he is given the opportunity to contact the generals in the army, not to mention mobilizing the entire Northern Army, half of it is more than enough!"
There is no exaggeration in what Lu Bu said.
Huangfu Song was one of the three generals in the late Han Dynasty.
His reputation spread far and wide, his name spread to thirteen states, and his existence was known all over the world.
Moreover, the old general's own prestige was accumulated bit by bit with real swords and real guns.
At that time, the Yellow Turban Army led by the three brothers Zhang Jiao was unrivaled and swept through half of the Han Dynasty. Countless people trembled in front of the rebels wearing Yellow Turbans.
And at such a critical juncture.
It was Huang Fusong who stood up, took orders in the face of danger, and led the Han army to give the Yellow Turban Army a head-on blow.
Not only did he restrain the Yellow Turban Army from continuing to sweep across the world, but he also directly shattered the dreams of the three Zhang Jiao brothers. The mighty Yellow Turban Army was beaten to pieces in his hands and became useless.
You can say that.
Without Huang Fusong, the Yellow Turban nemesis, I really don’t know how long the overwhelming Yellow Turban Army would have been wreaking havoc on the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely because of having such a powerful power.
This gave Huang Fusong high prestige in the army.
As long as they are the orthodox generals of the imperial court, they will not fail to give face to this veteran general.
Moreover, there were many middle- and upper-level officers in the Northern Army at this time. They were promoted for their military merits after experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
They either directly or indirectly received Huang Fusong's favor and had the grace to appreciate and promote him.
In the past, Huangfu Song had never come to his door, but once he wanted to speak to these people, few would refuse him.
That's why Lu Bu thought he was the best candidate.
…………
After Lu Bu finished speaking and sat back down.
Li Ru thought quietly for a moment.
The decision was made immediately.
"Since Fengxian admires General Huangfu so much, we will tentatively select him as the candidate. We are just asking him to help. I'm afraid Fengxian will have to do it in person. After all, everyone in Chang'an City knows that I belong to Thief Dong. My dear, it is still inconvenient to show up at this time."
"As long as you succeed and contact the generals of the Northern Army, I will immediately send the imperial edict to the traitor Dong and deceive him out of Xiwu under false pretenses. At that time, you and I will work together to capture Lieutenant General Dong in Chang'an City. Kill him!"
Rights and responsibilities are clear and division of labor is clear.
Lu Bu was also unambiguous.
He took over the matter immediately.
It can only be said that the two are both civil and military, one has the world's top martial arts, and the other has profound intelligence. Both of them are Dong Zhuo's internal members at the same time.
The two of them cooperated with each other and acted as moles together. It was really difficult for Dong Zhuo not to die.
And just when they had decided on what they were going to do next, Lu Bu got up and was about to say goodbye and leave.
As he was about to go out, he remembered the second thing mentioned in the previous secret letter.
He couldn't help but stop and ask: "Brother Wenyou, in addition to killing the Dong thief, we also need to ensure that the emperor's life is safe so that he can never return to the Central Plains."
"This is a difficult thing to think about!"
To this.
Instead, Li Ru smiled and waved his hand.
He looked confident.
"This matter is easy to hear, but we can't do it now. We can make arrangements after killing the Dong thief."
"As long as Thief Dong dies and we control the city of Chang'an, will the day be round or flat, whether we go or stay, won't it all be decided by our thoughts and words?"
Lu Bu burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He turned around, said goodbye and left.
………………
One day later.
The Shadow Guard headquarters located in Puyang City, East County, had already received a reply from Fei Gezhuan of Chang'an City, and a quarter of an hour later, the letter had arrived, and was now in the hands of Cao Ang in Puyang City.
Looking at the brief plan described in the letter in Li Ru's tone and matching his handwriting.
Cao Ang felt very satisfied.
After putting this letter in his bookcase, Cao Ang came to the window with his hands behind his hands, looking out erratically at the garden that was now full of green, and the scorching sun that was soaring down in the sky.
His thoughts couldn't help but drift to Chang'an City.
According to the brief summary of the plan provided by Li Ru, Cao Ang was basically certain that Dong Zhuo would not escape this disaster. He would probably lead his troops to Chang'an and receive news of Dong Zhuo's death from there on the way there.
After all, without Li Ru, Lu Bu, together with Wang Yun and others, could kill Dong Zhuo, but now he has the help of the chief adviser, the biggest mole.
It was really as if Dong Zhuo's coffin was hammered with iron sheets and steel nails, and there was no possibility that Dong Zhuo would survive.
And this is exactly what Cao Ang meant.
What he wants is for Dong Zhuo to die first!
You must let Dong Zhuo set foot on the road to hell before he officially leads his troops to Chang'an City and breaks through it. This is the best situation.
Otherwise, wait until Cao Ang comes to kill him in person.
Then it would be difficult for him to continue to maintain his relationship with Dong Bai. No matter how ungrateful Dong Zhuo was, he was still Dong Bai's grandfather and had a blood relationship.
Dong Zhuo died unexpectedly, at the hands of anyone. Dong Bai felt sad for a while, and the matter was over. Everything had nothing to do with Cao Ang.
But if he died in the hands of Cao Ang.
How can a girl get through this?
Cao Ang is not afraid of trouble, but there is no need to add trouble, especially if it involves the people he is close to and cherishes. Naturally, he can throw away as much responsibility as he can.
As for letting Dong Zhuo go, let him live.
This is absolutely impossible.
This fat black man must die, otherwise how can the Cao family inherit all his inheritance?
Moreover, if this guy is allowed to live in the world, the hidden dangers are too great. If one day he stands up again, wouldn't he be causing trouble for the world?
So it would be better for him to leave peacefully.
………………
Early June of the third year of Chuping.
Outside Puyang County, people are ready to go.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered here, including infantry and cavalry, including many majestic elite troops.
If you stand on the tower and look into the distance.
I just feel that there are endless streets of people as far as the eye can see.
The Cao flag flying high in the center of the army, as well as the flags of Zhang, Xiahou and other generals who were arranged in the left and right camps and were slightly shorter than the commander's flag, were all fluttering high in the wind.
Although the sky is sunny today, the temperature is hot.
But the strong sunlight shines on the sharp weapons, and the white glow reflected is full of chilling aura, which makes people shudder.
And now outside the city gate.
A tall altar.
Cao Cao was reading out the proclamation as the supreme commander, the governor of Yanzhou, and the leader of the Cao family's forces.
Announce to everyone present that the rebels will go out of Hangu Pass, raise the banner of King Qin, attack the traitor Dong Zhuo, rescue hundreds of officials, and welcome back the emperor.
And under the high platform.
Cao Ang looked serious, listening to his father's reading, and whispered to Lu Zhi who was standing aside.
"Gong Lu, this time we set out from Puyang City. After arriving at Luoyang City, we will part ways. At that time, I will continue to lead the army westward to attack Dong Zhuo, and you will stay in Luoyang City with my father to prepare Rebuild Luoyang and elect the emperor to the throne again."
"Although my father is the leader of an army, compared to you, he lacks prestige and is not able to take full charge of these matters."
"So I would like to ask you, old man, to be more considerate and help with many matters when the time comes. In any case, the emperor's return to Luoyang will come first!"
…………
Lu Zhi was obviously in a good mood at this time.
There was a smile on his face.
The whole person was full of energy, and he was completely different from the lifeless look he had when Lejin found him in Jundu Mountain, and he looked like he was about to die soon.
After hearing Cao Ang's words.
Lu Zhi nodded happily, indicating that he knew, and responded in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, Zixiu. Although I have never presided over such a thing, it is nothing more than ritual and music. I have studied Confucian classics, so I can still handle this matter."
"Besides, I am the emperor's teacher and teach him the principles of government and conduct. Naturally, I hope that he can return to the position of great treasure, inherit the legacy of the late emperor, restore our Han Dynasty, and re-establish the Han Dynasty. Therefore, this trip to Luoyang, I will do my best to make sure everything goes smoothly without any mistakes!"
When it comes to this.
Lu Zhi paused for a moment.
Then he quietly moved closer to Cao Ang, then leaned in front of him and whispered.
"Let's go to attack Dong Zhuo. I believe you have a sure victory. After all, you never do anything that you are not sure of. Cao's army has been fighting with astonishing strength since it was about to come. It is not difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo."
"It's just that there are officials from the imperial court who have passed by in Chang'an City, and it is already a pool of muddy water mixed with fish and snakes. It is not easy to make it clear and transparent."
"So after entering Chang'an City, if you encounter any trouble or an old minister who is hard to talk to, just say my name and say it's my intention, and they will give you some face and fully support you. Yes, this will save you some trouble!"
…………
As soon as this statement came out.
Cao Ang was suddenly a little surprised, looking at Lu Zhi's head of white hair with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, our Mr. Lu Ziqian Lu is still as powerful as ever. He used the emperor's master as a bargaining chip in exchange for this old comrade coming from afar in Youzhou.
This deal is really a bargain.
Not only Lu Zhi himself, but also his disciples were packaged to contribute to the Cao family.
You can also do many things with the help of Lu Zhi's prestige. What could be more cost-effective than this?
Think of this.
Cao Ang immediately bowed slightly to Lu Zhi, then cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu, for your kindness. If necessary, I will naturally not be rigid."
Lu Zhi nodded.
He didn't say anything more, but just turned his attention to several luxury carriages lined up behind and behind heavy military guards.
The reason why he gave Cao Ang such a reminder was that he was in a good mood today and was indeed happy.
The most important thing is that Lu Zhi has seen the dawn of realizing his lifelong grand wish.
As long as Liu Bian, who was escorted on this trip, could successfully regain the throne in Luoyang City, resolve the incident in Chang'an City, welcome back the civil and military officials of the DPRK, and eliminate the resistance of the officials and ministers to Liu Bian.
He can then start to promote the revival of ancient scriptures.
We do not seek to make the classical classics occupy a prominent position in today's schools, but at least we cannot be overwhelmed by the modern classics, or even disappear.
As long as there is something passed down.
That’s enough for your lifelong wish!
The interests are converging, which is the fundamental reason why he will spare no effort to help Cao Ang now.
…………
As Cao Cao's message was read out.
After the oath.
The three armies, large and small, immediately mobilized and set off in the near future. They sent troops to Chang'an, the western capital, to attack the usurpers and kill the national traitors.
Three days later, they arrived at Baima County, located southwest of Puyang City.
Two days further west, you can cross Yanzhou and Weijun in Jizhou and officially enter the Sili area, which is Hanoi County.
At this moment, the county seat of Baima County belongs to the Yazhong.
After simply settling the rest of the people, Cao Ang went to the backyard to visit the core figures accompanying him, namely the Queen Mother He and Liu Bian's mother and son.
Compared to the secretive and cautious way they were sent to Yanzhou from Luoyang City before.
Nowadays it is obviously much more upright.
The entire backyard was brightly lit, and many maids were waiting in the inner courtyard, while the soldiers responsible for guarding the area surrounded the outside.
When Cao Ang arrives.
Empress Dowager He, the young emperor Liu Bian, and Princess Liu Ping of Ten Thousand Years happened to be gathered in the hall, talking to each other.
…………
The sound of Cao Ang's footsteps sounded.
The attention of several people in the room was immediately attracted when they discovered that the person arriving was Cao Ang.
A look of extreme surprise could be seen on Queen Mother He's face. If her son and princess were not present at this moment, she would have been unable to hold back and rushed directly into Cao Ang's arms.
Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is more comfortable sitting still.
But she, who was originally so heroic and graceful, now had a gentle smile on her face, which instantly eliminated her serious aura.
"General Cao, I've been looking forward to it all day, and finally I see you. Please come and sit down!"
Liu Bian is as enthusiastic as ever.
Without anyone else needing to say anything, he ran up to Cao Ang in a few steps, grabbed his sleeve with one hand, and invited him into the house.
