News of Lu Bu's defeat quickly spread throughout the eighteen princes.
"Hahaha, Lu Bu is a common man, nothing to be afraid of!" The princes from all walks of life laughed at Lu Bu, so it didn't matter that Lu Bu was the best general in the world. He couldn't come up with the idea of using cavalry to attack the city, and he was able to attack the current imperial capital.
In addition, there was another person who was ridiculed by various princes, and that was Yuan Shu. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were turned around by Zhang Liaoqian's cavalry.
Yuan Shu was about to be tortured crazy by Zhang Liao at this time and had to stop and find a place to station!
"What a shame! What a shame!" Yuan Shu roared to several of his soldiers. He had never felt so aggrieved in so many years.
All the soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. It's really a shame. There are so many people who can't do anything with a thousand cavalry. So far, only some unlucky ones have died in their hands.
"My lord, it's not that we are incompetent. Zhang Liao comes like the wind and goes without a trace. He is as fast as the wind, and the horse on his hip is the Xiongnu's best horse. He doesn't want to fight with the general, and the general can't catch up." Ah!" Ji Ling explained that he was a general under Yuan Shu. He attacked Zhang Liao many times this time, but Zhang Liao only fought with him for a few rounds before leading his men to retreat. He could not catch up with him, so he could only watch helplessly. Zhang Liao withdrew and there was nothing he could do.
"Lord, since we have nothing to do with Zhang Liao now, why not pay a lot of money to win over this person." At this time, Yuan Shu's leader Bo Yanxiang suggested to Yuan Shu.
"It's just that Zhang Liao came from Bingzhou with Lu Bu, will he submit to me?" Yuan Shu thought about it and felt that this method was not impossible, but he was a little unsure whether Zhang Liao would submit to me.
"Let me ask how my lord compares with that Lu Bu!" Yan Xiang continued to ask.
"Although I am not as brave as Lu Bu, I will not attack the city with cavalry." Yuan Shu replied, stroking his beard.
"That's natural. In terms of bravery, no one in the world can match Lu Bu. But in terms of brains, my lord is several times better than Lu Bu. Why can Lu Bu win Zhang Liao, but my lord can't!"
Yuan Shu suddenly realized, yes, although his military strength was not as good as Lu Bu's, in terms of brains and identity, he could not defeat Lu Bu.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You must convince Zhang Liao!"
"Follow your orders!" Yan Xiang then went down and prepared to dig into Lu Bu's corner.
"Gao Shun, I regret not listening to Wen Yuan!" Lu Bu deeply regretted not listening to Zhang Liao and waiting for the army to arrive before attacking.
Now eight thousand cavalry went in, but now only a few thousand came back, and Li Que and Guo Si also rebelled.
"General, don't be discouraged. Just wait for the arrival of the army and reorganize the army and prepare for the attack!" Gao Shun comforted Lu Bu.
"Yes, General, as long as we wait for the army to arrive, it will not be too late for us to take revenge on Dong Zhuo." The other officers and soldiers now began to agree with the decision of waiting for the army, and no longer talked about cavalry attacking the city!
"Report, Dong Zhuo has an envoy coming." At this time, a soldier ran over and reported to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu and others looked at each other and wondered why Dong Zhuo sent the envoy at this time. Could it be that he was here to sue for peace.
"Bring it up!" Lu Bu regained his composure and asked someone to bring Dong Zhuo's envoy up.
After a while, the soldier came with a man dressed as a domestic servant.
After this man saw Lu Bu, his legs trembled constantly, for fear that Lu Bu would kill him in anger.
"Why did Dong Zhuo call you here?" Lu Bu asked Dong Zhuo's servant.
I saw the servant tremblingly taking out a letter from his arms and handing it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu hurriedly took it and opened it, and his expression suddenly changed!
"What's the matter, general?" Gao Shun noticed something was wrong with Lu Bu. He took the letter from Lu Bu's hand and looked at it. He saw that it read:
My son, my father made a mistake. I regret that I should not have listened to the words of the immortal. This led to a big mistake. My father really does not want to be your enemy! In order to make up for my father's fault, my father, you have protected your family and Diao Chan very well, so don't miss my son.
This letter seemed like Dong Zhuo admitted his mistake and wanted to get back together with Lu Bu, but in fact it was full of threats.
"What else did Dong Zhuo say!" Lu Bu controlled his urge to pick the servant with a halberd, pulled the servant up by his collar, and continued to ask.
"Xiangguo...Xiangguo also said that he only wants his Xiliang army and Li Ru, and nothing else." The servant stammered in fear.
"boom!"
Lu Bu angrily threw his servant to the ground.
"Gentlemen, what should we do now?" Lu Bu asked Gao Shun and others for help. He did not expect that Dong Zhuo would actually take action against his family members. On one side were his family members and on the other were his soldiers and horses. He did not want to give up on either side, and was once again caught in a dilemma. .
"General, I would like to ask the general whether the attack on Luoyang is for the Book of Heaven!" Gao Shun asked Lu Bu. Based on his understanding of Lu Bu, Lu Bu was extremely protective of his family. Dong Zhuo's move hit Lu Bu's seven inches.
"Gao Shun, is this important?" Lu Bu asked puzzledly, what does the Book of Heaven have to do with whether to attack Luoyang or not?
"General, this is very important. Please tell your subordinates the truth!" Gao Shun said seriously.
Looking at Gao Shun's serious face, Lu Bu blushed. He attacked Luoyang and didn't expect to get any heavenly documents. The main reason was that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him and Diao Chan was in Luoyang. Nuonuo replied: "No."
Seeing Lu Bu's reaction, Gao Shun immediately understood what Lu Bu was thinking, but he did not expose it and give Lu Bu some face.
"In this case, I suggest that the general exchange with Dong Zhuo!" Gao Shun suggested.
"Why!"
"First, although the Xiliang army surrenders, it may not be loyal. Li Que and Guo Si are an example."
"Secondly, our army's food and salary are not enough to feed an army of 200,000!"
"Thirdly, princes from all walks of life are coming one after another. We were Dong Zhuo's minions. Those princes may not let us go. We should leave Luoyang quickly and not be entangled with Dong Zhuo for too long!"
Gao Shun analyzed slowly.
"Then according to your words, where should we go after retreating?" Lu Bu had to say that Gao Shun's proposal made Lu Bu's heart move.
"Bingzhou!" Gao Shun slowly spit out two words!
Others began to talk after hearing this. Since Ding Yuan's death, they and Lu Bu followed Dong Zhuo to the pass. It can be said that Bingzhou is their hometown.
"This..." Lu Bu hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to go back, but that he had no face to go back.
Ding Yuan wanted to take over the Central Plains, but he listened to the slander and killed Ding Yuan, and followed Dong Zhuo to Luoyang. As a result, there was no guard at the border of Bingzhou, and a large number of Han people in Bingzhou were massacred by the Hus and Huns.
"General! It snowed heavily last year, and the Hu people froze to death. Many cattle and sheep were frozen to death. This year, the Hu people will definitely go south. Please go back to Bingzhou to save the people of Bingzhou. We are looking for a great cause!" Gao Shun knelt down and begged. He was also from Bingzhou. These days The people of Bingzhou have been massacred and plundered by the barbarians for a long time. They really cannot bear to be bullied by the barbarians in their hometown.
"Okay! We will return to Bingzhou after today! Kill the barbarians!" Lu Bu shouted loudly as if he had made up his mind.
"Butcher!"
"Butcher!"
The voices of the barbarians kept ringing in Lu Bu's army, deafening.
Even Dong Zhuo, who heard about it in Luo City, was confused. What does this have to do with the Hu people?
