"You know, it's not that the lord doesn't know, but he knows everything!"
It is precisely because he knows everything that he deliberately appeased Lu Bu before, the purpose is to make him think that he is a treasure, and then let him stand out when it is critical.
"Let's just wait and see, that Xue Rengui, my lord also thinks it's not easy to deal with!"
This is correct, if Dong Zhuo thought that Xue Rengui would be easy to deal with, he would definitely not give up the position of the leader, even if he did, according to the past practice, he would let other generals follow.
Thinking of this, Li Jue asked again: "How many soldiers and horses did Lu Bu bring this time?"
"One thousand and six hundred people."
This number shocked Li Jue's heart, this Lu Bu is not crazy, he is a lunatic!
500 people to do vanguard siege?
Stop it!
That is a city!
Moreover, the defenders of the city are not ordinary people, but a well-known figure under Li Ye's tent. He is not looking for death, what is he doing?
"Brother, if this is the case, we should prepare some wine and food."
Li Jue laughed, stood up and said, "When he is defeated and dies, we can celebrate!"
What they were thinking, Dong Zhuo knew best in his heart, he had just had sex with the women for a while, and for some reason he suddenly lost interest.
And that poor girl was also rewarded directly by him to the sergeant at the gate.
At this moment, only Li Ru was accompanying Dong Zhuo in the barracks.
With a blank face, he restrained all the flattery in the past, Li Ru was secretly thinking about the situation of Lu Bu's trip, he was not sure whether Lu Bu would be able to succeed.
It was actually Li Ru's own idea to let him play this time, because he thought it was time for that fellow Lu Bu to go out and do something practical.
Recently, once time was under Dong Zhuo's hands, he was like a foster father, always indulging in wine and sex.
Although Dong Zhuo didn't say anything and indulged him again and again, it didn't mean that in his heart, Dong Zhuo was willing for him to do so.
In fact, Dong Zhuo had expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with him many times before!
It's just that in front of Lu Bu, he never showed it.
"You just keep silent, what do we want you to do here!"
In the long silence, Dong Zhuo suddenly let out an angry roar, and Li Ru flinched in shock, looking up at him cautiously.
Dong Zhuo's face was full of displeasure, holding a glass of dirty wine in his hand, looking forward, his eyes were indifferent, and the word cruel seemed to be embedded in them.
"My lord, it's not that I don't say anything, but that it's useless to say anything under the current situation."
Li Ru thought for a long time, and then said cautiously: "Since Fengxian has already set off, we can only pin all our hopes on him."
If Lu Bu wins this time, there is nothing to say. If 500 people win, it will be easy to explain in front of other generals.
Let them understand that all the complaints against Lu Bu before were wrong.
Compared with Lu Bu, there is an insurmountable gap.
Whether it is Li Jue, Guo Si, or other generals, who can do it?
"If Lu Bu fails, then he will die here from now on, and the other generals will definitely know how to advance and retreat by then, so we won't say more."
Li Ru analyzed the two situations clearly and logically, and he also felt that Dong Zhuo would not let Dong Zhuo find fault with his two-sided argument.
Glancing at him, Dong Zhuo chuckled: "Li Ru, you are a smart person, you have something to say to whatever we ask you."
Li Ru hurriedly lowered his body, he didn't dare to look into Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Even with his head down, he still has a feeling of being on his back.
"All right!"
After a while, Dong Zhuo just sighed: "Let's look at this matter for the time being, and it's useless to talk about the rest; you go and prepare, we are not in a good mood tonight, let's go for a walk!"
"promise!"
Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
However, on the other side, Lu Bu, who was originally galloping like lightning and burning with fire in his heart, encountered obstacles when he was about to resist Xue Rengui on the battlefield!
What hindered him was not soldiers, nor mountains, but a piece of news.
Just now Lu Bu's scouts came to report that there was Zhao Kuangyin's team outside of Xue Rengui's formation. The exact number was unknown, but it was definitely not a large army.
If it was normal, Lu Bu would naturally not take it to heart, what is this?
What's the point of a mere Zhao Kuangyin?
Under his Uncle Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd, let them come and die as many as they want.
But this time, Lu Bu was worried. He was afraid of these people. If they came to help Xue Rengui, it would be troublesome.
After all, at this moment, the world is in a state of ups and downs, separation and reunion are happening in an instant, and the timing of Dong Zhuo and Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion this time is too coincidental.
Although Lu Bu is arrogant and powerful, he is not an idiot.
After some consideration, he decided to slow down for the time being and let the whole army stay here for a day, and then wait and see what happens tomorrow.
Someone once asked him whether doing so would damage the morale of the army.
However, the answer Lu Bu gave was really shocking. He said that he did this to accumulate more power, so that their soldiers could show greater power when facing the enemy.
There's nothing wrong with that!
Lu Bu's side was stationed at the same place, but Xue Rengui, who learned of the appearance of Zhao Kuangyin's advance team, was in turmoil. If the enemy came to attack, his previous plan would definitely go east.
But he didn't want to let go of this good opportunity. Just when he was hesitating and didn't know how to advance or retreat, it was Confucius who brought him a shocking news.
Li Ye has personally led [-] battalion soldiers here, and it is only half a day away from them.
But at this moment, Li Ye had already stopped his troops and stationed horses. Xue Rengui frowned, not coming in. He couldn't understand Li Ye's methods, but Confucius laughed.
"I'm afraid the general has forgotten, there is a saying, called the magic soldier!"
Chapter 366
Divine soldiers descend from heaven!
Xue Rengui chuckled, he is not an idiot, he didn't slow down just now, but now he understands everything.
"It seems that Lu Bu is going to be completely finished!"
As a fierce general, Xue Rengui had long wanted to compete with Lu Bu.
"Don't worry."
Confucius grabbed him and said, "Now is not the time to act."
Lu Bu had already stopped his troops. Although behind them there were [-] battalions of Li Ye's cavalry waiting for trivial matters to attack, but they could not rely on these.
"Why?"
Xue Rengui was puzzled, Old Master Kong smiled faintly, and it could be seen that the general in front of him still couldn't get out of his own thinking.
He only thought about fighting, winning, and defeating Lu Bu.
but!
Shouldn't Li Ye's strategy be taken into consideration?
Now that he is stopping here, on the one hand, he is waiting for the next opportunity to advance, and on the other hand, he is afraid that he is also giving them a time to react.
Dong Zhuo is here, isn't Zhao Kuangyin also nearby?
Thank you sir for teaching me?
Needless to say too clearly, Xue Rengui has already realized at this moment that this time, it seems that Li Ye wants to clean up Zhao Kuangyin and Dong Zhuo together.
This is not an easy task, but to succeed, Xue Rengui must be the first.
A great achievement was right in front of him, and he couldn't refuse it.
After thinking about it, Xue Rengui decided to wait!
At this time, it is necessary to wait until Zhao Kuangyin and Lu Bu have directly made a gesture, and then teach them how to behave under the city.
"Then now, I'm going to prepare, thank you, old man."
Xue Rengui clasped his fists and bowed again, he had Confucius on his side, otherwise it would be a big mistake to drink poison and drink.
However, on the other hand, in Zhao Kuangyin's army, he has now received definite news that Dong Zhuo's party is about to start a war with Xue Rengui.
However, at this moment, the two sides have not directly fought. Lu Bu is watching, and Xue Rengui is also silent.
This inevitably made Zhao Xuanlang feel that there seemed to be some things that were different from what he considered.
"Big brother!"
The sworn brother Zheng Ziming has been pacing back and forth in the barracks with his head tilted for several hours. If this continues, he will definitely become a donkey.
"Our scouts have already detected it very clearly, why wait any longer?"
According to his temperament, he should set aside the Spike now, and take Gao Huaide to attack the city together.
As for Lu Bu behind them, although this guy was a bit fierce, the Coiling Dragon Stick in his brother Zhao Kuangyin's hand was not a vegetarian either.
Don't worry about him, and it's over.
It's a good thing now, they have to wait here, Zheng Ziming thinks, if this goes on, they will either lose the best opportunity to attack the city, or they will be taken a step ahead by Lu Bu, and they can only come to eat leftovers.
Either way, he didn't want to see it.
Brothers, it may be a waste of time.
When Li Ye and the Jurchen were fighting before, he didn't say a word, and he didn't want Zhao Kuangyin to stop his troops, but after thinking about it, since they were dealing with outsiders, they should indeed unite as one.
But now, wait a fart!
"You."
Seeing his irritable appearance, Zhao Kuangyin really had a headache. His brother is good in everything, but his temper is too strong!
Reckless!
The two of them were talking, when someone outside suddenly said that Han Long had come.
