Chapter 72: Be Smart

"Wenyou, what do you think?" West Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo's camp, smiled and sent Xu You away, Dong Zhuo's expression gradually calmed down. Although Xu You was very humble, the condescending emanating from his bones made Dong Zhuo feel the urge to press his face into his head.

Dong Zhuo suppressed the impulse when the two countries fought each other and refused to take down the envoy. As for Xu You's words, Dong Zhuo was somewhat worried. After all, according to what Li Ru said, Lu Bu was alone and wouldn't he really be surrounded by people in Xingyang, right?

"If General Lu was really besieged in Xingyang, I think the princes of Guandong would not be so anxious to come to negotiate peace." Li Ru narrowed his eyes, and under the dim candlelight, he looked like a poisonous snake.

"What's the solution?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"General Lu used to defeat the eight princes with three thousand troops, and the 60,000 coalition forces were beaten to no aggression. Although the coalition forces quickly captured Chenggao after that, if they could defeat General Lu, it would probably have a greater impact than the capture of Chenggao. But now Xu Ziyuan said that he was willing to let Fengxian go. Unexpectedly, his father-in-law didn't realize this was ridiculous?" Li Ru sneered.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo didn't understand much.

"If they can really trap Fengxian, then even if they kill Fengxian, we have nothing to say. Moreover, Fengxian became famous in one battle, and the world knows that if Fengxian can be eliminated, it will be a great thing for the princes to make a name for themselves. No matter how it looks at it, killing Fengxian is more beneficial than putting him back, but Xu Ziyuan said he was willing to put Fengxian back, so there were only two explanations." Li Ru said decisively.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and didn't say anything. If it weren't for his son-in-law, I really wanted to suck him, could I finish it in one breath?

"Cough~" Li Ru coughed lightly and said seriously: "First, there is internal strife within the coalition forces and may fall apart at any time, so there is no time to trap Fengxian again."

Dong Zhuo nodded, there is indeed this possibility.

"The second is that Xu You deceived his father-in-law. Fengxian was not only fine, but also posed a great threat to the coalition forces. His father-in-law looked at the location of Xingyang and could almost cut off most of the Central Plains' support for Huzhu. If Fengxian got this city, he would cut off half of the coalition's return route. Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian, Yuzhou Governor Kong Xiu, and Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai were almost cut off. Fengxian attacked again, so the princes had to come to discuss peace. At the same time, he asked his father-in-law to call Fengxian and recall Fengxian. If Fengxian could be recalled, the crisis would be resolved. No matter which reason, his father-in-law could not respond to him. If this battle could defeat the coalition forces, it would be of great significance to his father-in-law's future holdings, and the tiger's vision of the world!"

"Come here!" Dong Zhuo nodded, then looked cold and looked at the outsider of the tent.

"Here!" A Dong Zhuo personal guard came in and saluted Dong Zhuo.

"Send someone to arrest Xu You and behead him outside Chenggao City!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "Those who are quarrels want to deceive me, and they really don't know how to live or die!"

"Hey, slow!" The guard agreed and was about to leave, but Li Ru spoke to stop him.

"What does Wenyou mean?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru in confusion.

"I think Xu You is quite arrogant and thinks that we can't see his plan clearly. It would be better to delay him for two days. At the same time, Huaxiong and the Northern Army stationed in Yique Pass also rushed to Xingyang. If we make a good reason and Fengxian has not been trapped, his memorial will be sent back in the next two days. If Xu You really gets to the point, there is still room for improvement in this matter!" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this and frowned, "It's just that this person's appearance is really annoying."

The feeling of looking down on others in his bones made Dong Zhuo, who had had enough of the scholars' attitude in Luoyang, was very unhappy.

"If my father-in-law doesn't want to see this person, it's better for the son-in-law to receive him. Within two days, he will definitely reveal his true colors!" Li Ru said with a smile.

"Okay, then you will leave this matter to you." Dong Zhuo nodded. Since Lu Bu was most likely to be fine, he was not in a hurry.

At the same time, on the other hand, Lu Bu counted Xingyang's food and grass. The food and grass were enough for Lu Bu and his men to eat for more than a month. With these food and grass, Xingyang could be defended.

But it was just not enough to defend, and Lu Bu was still planning to go out of the city to do something more.

"General, our army has won consecutive battles. Although the soldiers in the army have been killed and killed, there are many casualties, and now there are only more than 2,600 people left." The general responsible for counting the losses in battle came back. Because of the consecutive victories, everyone was excited. Now that the battle has been counting the losses in battle, the losses in this series of battles are really not small. You must know that Lu Bu seized power almost completely from Hu Zhen, with more than 3,800 people. In just two days, one thousand two were killed in the battle. The injured cannot be counted.

The casualties were like a basin of cold water pouring down, which gradually cooled down the passionate hearts of many generals.

After all, they were alone, one army was hanging outside. One person died less, but the enemy was endless. Even if Lu Bu kept winning, they might have lost it first if they continued to fight.

"It's better to withdraw your troops." A general suggested that after fighting these few games, it is enough to show his power. There is no benefit to continue, so it's better to withdraw early.

"Bang~" Lu Bu slapped the table with a slap, and looked up coldly at the generals: "If you want to withdraw again, you will be like this."

The location of Xingyang is very critical. It can cut off the retreat of half of the enemy princes. People have been sent to inform Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu vaguely realized that Xingyang would be the key to the victory or defeat of this war. How could he easily withdraw it?

However, Lu Bu is taciturn and not good at communicating, and does not want to communicate. All the generals here are generals, and they can't see such simple things, and there is no need to explain anything to them.

When Lu Bu was angry, the generals under the tent were instantly silent. In the past two days, Lu Bu led his troops to run around and win battles. He had a high prestige in the army. Even if he was dissatisfied, no one dared to touch Lu Bu's brow at this time. He really dared to kill people.

"Everyone is careful to guard the city, and many scouts have sent to investigate the movements of the surrounding cities. I have sent someone to notify the Grand Master. I believe there will be a reply soon, so I will disperse." Lu Bu looked at everyone with a cold face, his voice as cold as before.

"Here, I will take my leave!" The generals quickly agreed and bowed to leave.

"They have already told me about the previous incident." After the generals left, only Lu Bu and Dian Wei were left in the tent. Regarding the part where Dian Wei attacked the city, Lu Bu also had a rough position on Dian Wei. At this moment, he was only sure that he was left again: "Have you never learned military tactics?"

"I haven't never, my family is a hunter, where can I learn?" Dian Wei shook his head. Today, he rushed to the scene, except for blocking the city gate and closing it, and then capturing the city and driving the enemy army was almost all the credit of each general. It was also a blessing that the enemy's morale had dissipated. Otherwise, it would be easy to defeat these cavalry who fought on their own one by one.

"Your ability will be my personal guard commander in the future. I will teach you how to use troops. If you can learn it in the future, you will make achievements." Lu Bu frowned. It is a pity that such good martial arts are not good at military tactics.
