Chapter 271 Zhang Fei's Highlight Moment

These days, Lu Bu has been enjoying great success.

Those who had looted Lu Bu's mansion not only returned all the things they had taken, but also presented additional gifts.

With the support of these people, Lu Bu soon moved into a larger and more luxurious mansion, which was said to be the place where the Grand Marshal Zhu Jun once lived.

Even if he was only staying for a few days, Lu Bu was very satisfied with his current situation.

As an example of someone who gets promoted faster the more times he loses a battle, Lu Bu was despised and excluded by senior officers, but also loved by the lower-level soldiers.

Everyone can see that no matter what the reason, Dong Zhuo is very fond of Lu Bu. If you follow a man like this, you will be able to succeed sooner or later.

Therefore, Lu Bu's process of recruiting vanguard troops was extremely smooth and difficult.

The success was that they quickly gathered 20,000 people, but the difficulty was that there was not a single veteran elite soldier.

In other words, Lu Bu recruited a group of newbies who were not even a mob to serve as the vanguard.

The problem is not big.

The news of Jinmao's withdrawal has spread all over the city.

Even if the Yangzhou army only retreated to Yique Pass, Dagu Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass, it was still a retreat!

Even if the Yangzhou army at Mengjin Pass did not retreat, as long as they did not block Dong Zhuo's army's westward route, they would be retreating!

Therefore, another piece of news spread in Luoyang.

"Move the capital to Chang'an!"

The people were terrified and the officials were in panic.

No one knows whether they will die on the way.

March 21st, the day after tomorrow, is the day when the capital will be officially moved.

Lu Bu had basically completed the recruitment work, but without veterans as the backbone, the combat effectiveness of this unit was worrying.

this day.

Li Su once again brought good news to Lu Bu.

"Brother, are you going to bring your men to join me?"

Lu Bu was both surprised and delighted. Although the 500 cavalrymen under Li Su's command seemed small in number, they were all veterans who had experienced several battles.

With these people as the backbone, the combat effectiveness of the troops can be quickly boosted.

"Brother, you have been so kind to me. Lu Bu will never forget it!"

Li Su felt guilty and dared not look at Lu Bu. After a long pause, he said, "I have not moved up in this position for many years."

"Could Fengxian say a few good words for me in front of the Grand Master?"

Lu Bu took the responsibility and said, "No problem! It's a piece of cake!"

Li Su felt relieved and happily returned to his house to wait for news.

Wait until the next day.

Li Su did not wait for promotion, nor for Lu Bu's promise, but instead received shocking news.

His deputy general was promoted to colonel!

Li Su came to see Lu Bu with excitement, thinking there would be a surprise, but he was unexpectedly hit by a bolt from the blue.

"Brother, I tried my best."

Lü Bu said with embarrassment: "I have already said something good for you, but the Grand Master doesn't agree."

Li Su's heart sank instantly, and his smile turned into a forced one. He said, "It's okay, let's wait until next time."

Watching Li Su leave in disappointment, Lu Bu curled his lips in disdain and continued to work on his tasks.

We all know the truth.

If Li Su is promoted to a high position, who will have the final say over the vanguard army, Lu Bu or Li Su?
Therefore, Lu Bu never said anything good for Li Su, and even deliberately hindered him.

As for Li Su, he turned around and figured everything out.

"Lü Bu, he is truly a jackal!"

At this moment, Li Su began to wonder if it was also Lu Bu's fault last time that prevented him from being promoted.

If that were the case.

"Damn it!"

Li Su was secretly resentful, but what could he do?

He couldn't punish anyone.

Li Su walked aimlessly on the streets of Luoyang, where panicked people were everywhere.

As soon as the news of moving the capital came out, the people in the city tried every means to escape from the city.

No matter where you go, it’s better than going west to die!
Therefore, Luoyang has been in chaos these days.

Dong Zhuo didn't care, or rather, he couldn't care.

suddenly.

Li Su felt someone approaching from behind. His instinct from many years of fighting made him suddenly aware of it. Just as he was about to react, he heard the other party speak first.

"Please don't be nervous and just keep going as usual."

"Li Su, Cavalry Commander!"

The other party knew his identity but refused to show his face. Li Su couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is, do you want a bright future?”

Without waiting for Li Su to answer, the other party said, "If your answer is yes, come to the Yihong Courtyard in the south of the city tonight at midnight to see you!"

Li Su turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure. After thinking about it, he did not chase after him.

Yihongyuan?
Dong Zhuo had no intelligence network at all and was on bad terms with all the officials, so he had no idea that this was Jinmao's industry.

However, there is no wall that is impenetrable. On the contrary, middle-level officers like Li Su heard more gossip and knew the inside story.

"The Yangzhou Mu's people?"

Li Su began to feel excited. Since he couldn't get any benefits from Dong Zhuo, why not try others?

child time.

Li Su arrived at Yihongyuan as promised. This was the time when Yihongyuan was at its busiest.

Under the bright lights, Li Su saw many familiar faces, all generals in Dong Zhuo's army.

Everyone looked at each other and moved away tacitly.

Soon, Li Su was taken into a single room in the backyard.

"You're here after all."

Still seeing that familiar figure during the day, Li Su stared at the other person with wide eyes as he turned around.

"Jia Fang!"

Li Su pointed at the other person's face in shock and said, "You have joined the Yangzhou governor?!"

Jia Fang, the third son of Jia Xu, suffered from a strange disease since childhood and was originally waiting to die. However, after learning that there was a miracle doctor in Yangzhou who could cure his illness, he resolutely joined the intelligence agency.

He wants to earn enough money to survive in the future!

His father Jia Xu would never take the initiative to speak to his lord. This was a family motto and also his father's principle in life.

However, his disease requires long-term treatment to be cured, so urgent efforts are needed.

"Captain, don't be surprised. Didn't you come here for fame?"

When Jia Fang smiled, he was very much like his father Jia Xu, insidious and vicious.

"How about it? Work for my Lord and I will ensure you prosperity and wealth!"

Li Su agreed without even thinking: "What do you want me to do?"

Jia Fang said: "Tell me about the deployment tomorrow."

Li Su told him in detail what he knew.

Jia Fang nodded and said, "Go back to Lu Bu and do your work with peace of mind."

Li Su asked anxiously, "Where is my wealth?"

Jia Fang said confidently: "We will arrange an opportunity for you to show your face in front of Dong Zhuo."

"Don't let Lu Bu get there first. If you do, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Li Su silently kept this matter in mind.

March twenty-third.

Dong Zhuo's army set out, with Lu Bu leading a vanguard of more than 20,000 troops, and Li Su following behind.

This time, Dong Zhuo took 100,000 young and strong people and forcibly moved them into Guanzhong.

This resulted in the entire team being extremely long, and it might not take a whole day for the last team to leave Luoyang City.

The vanguard army was not accompanied by any civilians. All the civilians were defeated and followed Dong Zhuo in the central army. The emperor and all the officials were also there.

The rear army was led by Xu Rong, including Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals as well as 20,000 elite troops.

March twenty-fourth.

The tail end of the central army had just emerged from Luoyang, and the only people left in the entire capital were some old, weak, women and children who were difficult to take away, as well as the elite troops of the rear army.

Outside Luoyang City, Minister Wang Yun rode in a carriage, accompanied by his servants and family members, and fell behind the team.

He looked back, gazed at the towering figure of Luoyang in the afterglow of the setting sun, and said with regret: "What a wonderful city."

Soon, it will be burned down by a fire.

suddenly!

There was a commotion ahead of the team.

The entire formation of the central army was a bit strange, with Dong Zhuo and the emperor at the front, the people in the middle, and the officials at the end. I don't know which genius came up with this idea.

When Wang Yun turned around and wanted to ask what had happened, he saw a team of elite cavalry separating the officials from the people.

After a while, another group of elite infantrymen came out from the nearby mountains and forests.

Looking at the big "Jin" and "Yang" flags, Wang Yun couldn't help but wonder, why did the Yangzhou army not ambush Dong Zhuo, but ambush all the officials?
Before Wang Yun could figure it out, he saw a cavalry general with a ring-shaped head and leopard eyes coming in front of the officials.

"Who's Wang Yun?"

The loud voice made all the officials tremble as if they were facing a ferocious tiger.

The person who came was Zhang Fei. He couldn't understand why the two military advisors didn't let him go to the front line to intercept Dong Zhuo, and he was in a bad mood.

"I'll count to three!"

"If Wang Yun doesn't come out, I'll chop you all up!"

Zhang Fei started walking in the snow. He wanted to take the Red Hare, but the beast was being taken away by his lord for breeding.

"one!"

Following Zhang Fei's roar, the officials became riotous and made way for Wang Yun's family.

Some people were even more afraid that Zhang Fei would count too fast, so they stepped forward and said, "General! Prime Minister Wang Yun is right there!"

Zhang Fei spat on the ground with disdain and shouted, "Wang Yun! Why don't you get out of here?"

Wang Yun was both angry and anxious, his old face flushed red. This black-faced guy was too rude and hateful. He was the prime minister of the current dynasty, how could he accept such an insult?

"Calm down! I haven't accomplished anything great for my country yet. I can't die here yet!"

After Wang Yun comforted himself, he signaled the driver to drive forward.

"Are you Wang Yun?"

Zhang Fei's spit flew straight into Wang Yun's face.

"You are an old man, and you think you can kill Dong Zhuo?"

"You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

"My master, a god-like figure, doesn't dare to say that he can kill Dong Zhuo. How can you, an old man, say so?"

Zhang Fei's loud speaker shocked all the officials. They looked at Wang Yun with all kinds of expressions.

It was Jia Xu's idea to let Zhang Fei intercept Wang Yun.

After obtaining Li Su's information, Jia Xu, the old coin, and Xun Yu, the new silver coin, immediately guessed Wang Yun's general plan.

Jia Xu knew very well how powerful these old guys were, so he asked Zhang Fei to make things clear.

When the time comes, it will be a dog-eat-dog fight, and no matter which side wins, Jinmao will definitely benefit.

Xun Yu agreed to this.

After Zhang Fei's broadcast, Wang Yun's face turned pale and he asked, "Have you finished speaking?"

"I heard that your adopted daughter Diao Chan is as beautiful as a fairy?" Zhang Fei ignored Wang Yun and continued to talk nonsense.

"Tell me honestly, have you ever been into her?"

boom!
All the officials were shocked.

It would be fine if this kind of thing was said in private, but to say it openly was to kill Wang Yun.

Sure enough, Wang Yun jumped up instantly, drew his sword and threw it.

"choke!"

Zhang Fei casually blocked with his Zhangba Snake Spear, and did not forget to taunt: "Weak and powerless, I said you have been in love with Diao Chan, how could you not be discovered by Dong Zhuo?"

"Hahaha!"

Facing Zhang Fei's wild laughter, Wang Yun was about to grit his teeth, but when he thought that Dong Zhuo was not dead yet, he endured it.

Afterwards, no matter how Zhang Fei humiliated him, Wang Yun remained indifferent.

Zhang Fei felt bored and thought of the important matter. He said, "Old man, leave the books behind and you can go away."

Unexpectedly, Wang Yun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped up like an angry lion.

"You can insult me ​​or kill me!"

"But even if I burn these treasures, I will not leave a single cent for Jin Mao!"

"How dare you!" Zhang Fei held his lance horizontally, with the tip of the lance pointed at Wang Yun's neck: "You dare to insult my lord? You are seeking death!"

Wang Yun stiffened his neck and said, "Come on!"

As long as Zhang Fei dared to kill Wang Yun, Jin Mao's reputation would be completely ruined.

No matter from which perspective, Wang Yun cannot be killed, at least he cannot die at the hands of Jin Mao.

On the one hand, Wang Yun was one of the three highest officials of the dynasty. If he was killed, Jin Mao would be no different from Dong Zhuo.

On the other hand, Wang Yun is still the head of the Taiyuan Wang family. This would completely offend the Taiyuan Wang family, and there is no need to make enemies everywhere.

"hey-hey."

Zhang Fei retracted his snake spear and said jokingly, "I won't kill you. Are you angry?"

In fact, before Zhang Fei set out, he signed a military order with Jia Xu, one of the terms of which was that Wang Yun could not be killed.

Jia Xu was also afraid that Zhang Fei, this reckless man, would do something unpredictable.

Wang Yun had an expression of refusing to obey, and Zhang Fei ignored him.

"Somebody come!"

"Robbed!"

Wang Yun suddenly became anxious: "How dare you?"

After saying this, he asked the coachman to drive to stop them.

"laugh!"

Zhang Fei didn't dare to kill Wang Yun, but he did not say that he would not kill the rickshaw driver, so he stabbed him to death with a spear.

"Who dares to move?"

All the officials were as silent as cicadas.

Wang Yun made up his mind, pushed the driver's body away, and got on to drive the car himself.

"Herod!"

There were two sad neighs, and the two good horses pulling the cart were also stabbed to death by Zhang Fei.

"Go!"

"You still have two legs, why don't you walk?"

Wang Yun stared at Zhang Fei, his face covered in blood, and he looked ferocious as he wished he could cut him into pieces.

Zhang Fei glanced at Wang Yun with pride and said cheerfully, "Situ!"

"I never thought that I, Old Zhang, would be able to scold the Third Lord one day. Today's visit was not in vain."

However, Zhang Fei did not show off for long.

The scouts reported that a group of cavalry had emerged from Luoyang City, with an estimated number of a thousand riders.

"TanND!" Zhang Fei spat fiercely, "The rat has escaped from the hole!"

"Ning Ye!"

"I'll leave this to you!"

"Brothers, follow me to catch mice!"

After saying that, Zhang Fei led two thousand cavalrymen and rushed towards Luoyang.

After the Battle of Luoyang, the cavalry of the Yangzhou army expanded to 6,000 cavalry, and 3,000 war horses were taken away by the personal guards.

Wu Ning looked at Zhang Fei going away, feeling helpless, and urged him: "Hurry up!"

"Somebody come!"

"Send a message to the military advisor!"

After saying that, Wu Ning quickly wrote a brief battle report and sent it to Yique Pass by express horse.

The last time he withdrew his troops, Dong Zhuo was not fooled.

Therefore, this time Xun Yu and Jia Xu were ready to swallow up the 20,000 elite troops left by Dong Zhuo.

As for the troops lying in ambush in front, they were just there to harass Dong Zhuo and make him believe that the Yangzhou army would not allow him to retreat safely.

If possible, create an opportunity for Li Su to show up.

Nevermind.
