Lu Bu stretched out his hands and pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet. When everyone calmed down, Lu Bu fell out of a big topic: "Everyone, Lord Ding is gone, and the king is killed and killed eunuchs have been completed. Where should our Bingzhou army go? Should we stay in Luoyang City or return to Bingzhou?"

Wei Xu shouted at the top of his voice, "My lord, of course we have to stay. The lord was favored by the Queen Mother, and he became Guangluxun. He took charge of the four thousand Yulin troops, the five northern army and the eight thousand Huben troops, the eight thousand Huben troops, and the four western garden troops, and the eight thousand Xiyuan troops. In addition, we were eliminated, and we were eight thousand Bingzhou cavalry. The lord held a total of 35,000 troops. Even if we could not fight against Dong Zhuo in the wild, we were more than enough to defend the city. Why should we leave? After repelling Dong Zhuo, the lord took over the court, promoted us to the title, and enjoyed wealth and honor together. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

Lu Bu glanced at Wei Xu. This guy was a brave but unscrupulous man. In the Bingzhou army, because Lu Bu was his cousin's brother-in-law, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao was unwilling to offend him. Wei Xu claimed to be the second warrior in Bingzhou all day long. In fact, it would be good if his martial arts value was eighty. As for intelligence and political power, he might not even be less than fifty.

Lu Bu coughed lightly: "Who has the same opinion as Wei Xu?"

Song Xian, Xue Lan, and Li Feng all agreed to stay in Luoyang City.

Only Gao Shun, Cheng Lian shook his head and expressed his disagreement.

Lu Bu couldn't help but look at Cheng Lian, who was short and fat, who was killing people and drinking all day long. He originally thought that Cheng Lian, like Wei Xu and Song Xian, were all ingenious people.

As a result, Cheng Lian's words made him laugh and cry: "Lord, if we still stay in Luoyang, wouldn't we enjoy the money and jewelry that we plundered from the palace and eunuchs and ministers? Are you afraid that others will know? Many things are engraved with imperial words."

Cheng Lian finished speaking and everyone burst into laughter.

Lu Bu sighed deeply. He lacked the foresight and strategic planners around him.

Lu Bu turned around and asked Gao Shun with the last bit of hope: "Zhongping, do you think you are leaving or staying?"

Gao Shun, who is eight feet tall, has a dark face all year round, is serious and cautious, does not like drinking, does not love women, and does not like money. The generals in the army are very respectful to him. When he starts to speak, he calms down and pricks up his ears and listens attentively. It is very different from the noisy when Cheng Lian talks.

Gao Shun thought for a while before saying carefully: "Lord, I am not sure about the general trend, but only from a military perspective, it is not safe for our army to stay in Luoyang City."

Lu Bu was a little surprised: "Zhongping, please tell me in detail how it is not safe."

Gao then carefully analyzed the military forces around Luoyang: "Since Dong Zhuo can connect with Hao Meng to kill Lord Ding, Dong Zhuo's Western Liang cavalry is not far from Luoyang. A day ago, it was said that it was in Mianchi, 400 miles away from Luoyang, but Dong Zhuo's Western Liang cavalry was equipped with war horses, and he could travel a hundred miles a night. I am afraid that Dong Zhuo's men and horses would arrive in Luoyang in another day. After Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min assisted Yuan Shu in killing the eunuchs, he led the troops to disappear in Luoyang City. I had sent scouts to inquire everywhere but could not find his trace. With these hundreds of elite soldiers hiding in Luoyang City, I am afraid that any city gate would not be safe."

Speaking of this, Gao Shun paused for a moment, and his face showed anger: "Sima, the city gate in charge of the West Gate, has an old age with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo will definitely come in from the West Gate. I once wrote a letter to the Sili Captain Yuan Shao, asking him to withdraw the West Gate and replace it with a talented person. Yuan Shao ignored my humble position."

Lu Bu muttered, "Zhongping, your current General Hu Ben is the previous position of Yuan Shao's bastard brother Yuan Shu. He should have hated us and disliked us from being a humble family and too lazy to pay attention to us. These families who come from aristocratic families can only look at people with cracks."

Gao Shun bowed to Lu Bu and bowed: "I rely on the promotion of my lord, otherwise I, Gao Shun, would have been able to serve as the General of the Hu Ben."

Lu Bu waved his hand: "Zhongping, I have always known that you are brave, wise and talented. Your future is not limited to the General of the Tiger Ben. If you are interested, the General of the Four Conquests will be selected by you in the future."

Gao Shun seemed to rarely hear Lu Bu's praise, and was flattered and wanted to thank him.

Lu Bu waved his hand quickly: "Zhongping, don't be polite. Time is tight, so you should continue to analyze the military situation for everyone."

Gao Shun continued to preach: "Dong Zhuo's army set out from Liangzhou for only more than 50,000 people, but Dong Zhuo recruited soldiers all the way with wolf ambitions. When he arrived in Mianchi, it had expanded to 100,000 people. Most of the 100,000 soldiers were cavalry, and most of them fought against Qiang, Hu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui in the Liangzhou area. They were all brave and good at fighting, and their combat effectiveness might not be below our Bingzhou cavalry. If infantry and auxiliary soldiers were added, Dong Zhuo's military strength might not be less than 200,000."

After knowing the enemy, he needed a confidant. Gao Shun then analyzed the strength of the troops on Lu Bu's side: "In the newly-selected troops, the Yulin Army, the Huben Army, and He Miao army have been organized for a long time, but they rarely go through battles and have almost no combat experience. The Fourth Army of Xiyuan has only been a year since the Fourth Army formed an army. Although the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army defeated Zhang Jiao with Lord Lu Zhi, that was already five years ago. In this way, the lord's command can fight against Dong Zhuo's army, but only our current 8,000 soldiers in Bingzhou. Among these 8,000 soldiers, most of the cavalry are not good at defending the city. We will definitely not be able to stop their 100,000 cavalry when we pull out the 8,000 iron cavalry in the field. The defense of the city is not the strength of our army. If our army insists on staying in Luoyang, we will definitely be defeated."

After listening to Gao Shun's analysis, everyone couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. Even Lu Bu, who had been confident in his chest, couldn't help panic.

Lu Bu only saw Gao Shun's innocence and dignity, sincere benevolence and righteousness from historical records, and seemed to have a high evaluation. After looking at him, he felt that Gao Shun was not handsome and too serious and not good at speaking, and he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

After hearing Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu realized that history was not all written nonsense, so he corrected his attitude towards Gao Shun and became more important. Lu Bu even considered letting Gao Shun be the deputy commander of the Bingzhou Army.

Gao Shun continued to add fuel to the fire despite the chill that had already appeared in everyone's heart: "I just analyzed Dong Zhuo's side, and now let's talk about Yuan Shao. In the past few days, I have seen Yuan Shao's every move and his lord's analysis of this person, and Yuan Shao's ambitions are not inferior to Dong Zhuo. From the general He Jin summoning princes to the capital to the general's death, everything is in Yuan Shao's conspiracy. Yuan Shao will never allow the lord to influence him to take charge of the government affairs, so once the lord and Dong Zhuo fight in front, the four Xiyuan Army controlled by Yuan Shao is likely to stab us in the back. When our army is defeated, they will negotiate with Dong Zhuo again. After all, if Dong Zhuo wants to take charge of the government affairs, it is impossible for them to support the great families of these aristocratic families."

Seeing that other generals were as if they were killed by Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu decided to add fuel to the fire and attack their arrogant mentality. Lu Bu spread out the map and analyzed to everyone: "This is Luoyang, the world and the place of four battles. Even if we defeated Dong Zhuo, we could only defeat him with our troops. He retreated to Chang'an and occupied Jingzhao and Liangzhou. We could not kill Yuan Shao to offend countless disciples and officials trained by the Yuan family, four generations and three dukes, and could only drive Yuan Shao away. The governors and prefects of the states in Guandong, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou all have thousands of ties with the Yuan family.

With the connection, coupled with Yuan Shao's extraordinary charm, he is very good at bribing the hearts of the people. As long as he stands up and opposes us, he will definitely gather people to form an anti-Lu alliance. By then, we will have hundreds of thousands of mobs in the east against Yuan Shao's alliance, and the 200,000 Western Liang cavalry who are fighting against Dong Zhuo, and don't forget the black bandits, the white wave thieves, the southern Xiongnu, and the Xianbei who are rampant in Bingzhou. Once Yuan Shao wins them over and attacks us on the back, do you think this Luoyang land can be defended? If Luoyang cannot be defended and we lose the Bingzhou base, even though the world is big, will you and I have a place to settle down at that time?"

Everyone said dejectedly: "It seems that they have to leave Luoyang."
