Chapter 11 The wicked complain first

When the battlefield was cleared, it was already noon. Lu Bu ordered people to collect Sun Jian's body and return to Yique Pass with Hua Xiong's remaining soldiers. However, he learned that Hu Zhen had returned to Luoyang without stopping after returning to Yique Pass.

"This Hu Zhen is all that." Wei Xu arranged for someone to reinstall Sun Jian's body carefully, and smiled at Lu Bu and said, "He also wants to command us?"

Before, these Bingzhou generals were quite dissatisfied with letting Lu Bu be the cavalry commander of Hu Zhen. Now that Hu Zhen was beaten by Sun Jian, he ran away in a panic, but Sun Jian died in a battle under Lu Bu, and Jiangdong lost a lot. This time he went back, not to mention the reward, but just thinking about Hu Zhen's face felt relieved.

"Congratulations to the Chief Lu Qi for his victory. When he returns to Luoyang this time, the Prime Minister will definitely receive a great reward!" Zhao Cen walked up with a smile on his face and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Then Sun Jian seemed to have known that Hu Zhen would send troops to attack at night." Lu Bu did not answer, and looked at Zhao Cen with a bit of coldness: "Do you know why General Zhao?"

"This... I don't know." Zhao Cen was a little panicked and did not dare to face Lu Bu's gaze. He subconsciously took two steps back, but felt that someone was behind him. When he looked back, it was Hua Xiong who was blocking him, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Central General, can you hand this person over to the last general to deal with it?" Hua Xiong bowed to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Hua Xiong and nodded. Speaking of which Zhao Cen was actually planning to be Hu Zhen, or he had secretly surrendered Sun Jian or one of the princes alliances. He could kill Sun Jian today. In fact, Zhao Cen also calculated his strength. If he had not used Hu Zhen to lure Sun Jian out, Lu Bu would not have directly entered the Jiangdong camp to kill the generals. Since Hua Xiong had spoken, Lu Bu was happy to give Hua Xiong a face.

Lu Bu was arrogant and could not catch his eye even if his status was high. However, Lu Bu, who was capable, was willing to put down some of his attitude. Hua Xiong was rare among the generals of Xiliang. It was not necessary to give it to him. After all, Zhao Cen had no merits.

"Thank you!" Hua Xiong bowed to Lu Bu.

"I am the governor of Yiqueguan, Hua Xiong, what do you want to do!? Lu Bu, you have no right to arrest me!" Zhao Cen struggled to roar at the guard guards beside him, "What are you doing while standing? Why don't you save me!"

A group of soldiers guarding the pass were also a little confused. Why did they suddenly take action? On one side were their own heads, on the other side were Lu Bu and Hua Xiong. In terms of influence, all of them were above Zhao Cen. Some people raised their weapons, but few dared to step forward.

"Let it go!" Hou Cheng, Song Xian and Wei Xu rushed up, took the Bingzhou army to look at these people, and glared: "Can you want to rebel??"

Lu Bu glanced coldly at the people around him and said, "Zhao Cen is suspected of colluding with the enemy. Even if he killed him on the spot, we also have something to say in front of His Majesty and the Prime Minister. But when you use swords and guns to us, I will kill you all, and no one dares to make decisions for you!"

While speaking, Fang Tian leaned on the ground with a halberd, his eyes evidently showing murderous intent.

Although Lu Bu didn't have long been under Dong Zhuo's command, before that, when the two sides fought against Ding Yuan, they had no temper to fight the Western Liang army. Now this sentence was much more useful than Hou Cheng and others. After a group of guards hesitated for a while, they put away the weapons in their hands.

"Wei Xu, stay here to guard the pass. We will escort Zhao Cen and Sun Jian's body and set off for Luoyang immediately." Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu and said to him.

Although the guard of the gate is not a great general, if it is confirmed, it will have some military power. Not long after Lu Bu was under Dong Zhuo's command, his Bingzhou Iron Cavalry was also demolished into three divisions. Now Lu Bu feels that his status is gradually stabilized, so he naturally wants to gain some military power. As his wife's brother-in-law, Lu Bu almost subconsciously gave him this possible vacancy.

After this battle, there should be no big battle in Yique Pass. This is a place where merits are made. From Lu Bu's perspective, the main battlefield in the next area is blocked by Chenggao. Wei Xu is not as capable as Hou Cheng and Song Xian. It is better to be safer here, and he can make more merits and gain some military power.

"Here!" Wei Xu agreed. Lu Bu and the others did not stay in Yique Pass for a long time. They returned to Luoyang from here. They arrived before dark. If they were sooner, they could go back in the afternoon.

Because they won the battle and went back, they were all excited and rushed forward. After more than an hour, Luoyang was already far away. Just when Lu Bu was about to send someone to report the victory, he saw that someone was waiting for him outside the city, but Zhang Liao was not seen for many days.

"Wenyuan, why are you here?" Lu Bu rode his horse to Zhang Liao. Although he had not seen him for more than half a month, for Lu Bu, he had not seen him for more than ten years. Seeing Zhang Liao again, he was inevitably intimate. This was because he had never despised his brother even when he was in a downturn. In the past ten years, Lu Bu naturally couldn't control his emotions, but when he spoke, he felt a little unfamiliar, as if he had a lot to say, but when he saw someone, he felt that there was nothing to say.

Zhang Liao was a little confused and felt that Lu Bu was a little excited.

"Fengxian, after Hu Zhen came back, he went to the prime minister's office to complain, saying that you did not obey the military orders, and delayed the military opportunity several times, resulting in the defeat of the three armies. I heard that the prime minister was very angry." Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu and said worriedly.

"Shameless people are incompetent in war, so they are quite slandering." Hou Cheng was full of anger when he heard this.

Lu Bu and Song Xian also looked ugly. If you don’t say whether Dong Zhuo believes Hu Zhen’s words, even if you don’t believe it, it would be as uncomfortable as if you were eating a fly if you were not.

"Don't worry, I won this battle and Sun Jian has been killed by me. He can't give me this guilt. Let's go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I want to see how he will slander me!" Lu Bu's eyes were a big victory. If he had known that Hu Zhen was so disgusting, he should have taken advantage of the chaos and gave him a shot to shut up forever.

"I will go with the cavalry commander and tell the story of Zhao Cen to the Prime Minister, and also be a witness for the cavalry commander!" Hua Xiong clasped his fists at Lu Bu.

"Let's go." Lu Bu was in a bad mood and just nodded in response. After asking Song Xian to arrange for the soldiers to rest, he took everyone to escort Zhao Cen, pulled Sun Jian's body and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
