In fact, compared with Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao's end was better, at least Lu Bu left his whole body.
In any case, Ma Chao is a respectable opponent, not only because of his strength, but also because he and Lu Bu are just fighting over each other. It's just that a combination of circumstances has led to this situation, and for such an opponent, Lu Bu will not be stupid.
Let him live, but try to preserve his dignity behind him.
As for Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu felt that Hua Xiong did a good job. This man almost implicated Li Ru's entire army for his own personal vendetta. This behavior itself was despised by Lu Bu, not to mention that Zhang Xiu was an enemy that could not be defeated.
After the two generals lost their lives, nearly a thousand soldiers from both sides who had already collapsed had no chance of saving them. Lu Bu and Li Ru had no intention of chasing them anymore. After all, it was nothing.
Meaning, if it arouses strong resistance, it will not be a good thing for one's own side.
So the slogan of "surrender without killing" resounded throughout the battlefield, the sound of dismounting, kneeling, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground intertwined to compose a tragic war song, which is a war song for the losers.
However, Lu Bu never paid attention to them from beginning to end. After Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao were ambushed to death one after another, no, it should be since Li Ru appeared and expressed his position, there was no suspense in this battle.
Now everything just falls into place.
What's more, Lu Bu was really not interested in gathering these remaining defeated generals.
Previously, he was only focused on fighting the enemy, but now that everything has settled and he calmed down and thought about it, Lu Bu felt that what he did was probably not the right thing.
This doesn't mean that he shouldn't do it, it's just that it will probably ruin Jia Xu's overall plan. After all, Luoyang City, which they used as a bait, has its biggest enemy due to the emergence of the joint forces of Li Ru and Ma Chao.
Value, this will also minimize the impact of doubts caused in the eyes of outsiders when Jia Xu led his army to withdraw from Luoyang City; but now one of the two has taken refuge and the other has died. The remaining one
Pang De, who returned to the city after being seriously injured, could not support the overall situation. Moreover, the morale of Ma Chaojun would also be severely damaged when the coach died. As a result, Luoyang City became a veritable "weak", but this was not the case.
It will bring more doubts. After all, Lu Bu's army is indeed watching from the sidelines. The weakened Luoyang City will actually lose a lot of attraction, because doubts and scruples will hinder those people's progress.
As for how things have developed so far, let alone Lu Bu and Li Ru, it was completely unexpected. The occurrence of this battle was beyond everyone's expectation, and the result was of course the same.
It can only be said that too many coincidences and accidents have made this inevitable. Lu Bu never felt that he was in any danger. On the contrary, Ma Chao may have really experienced the psychological gap from heaven to hell.
The deceased is dead, and Li Ru is probably thinking about similar issues to Lu Bu at the moment. Just like his previous thoughts, he has roughly guessed Jia Xu's plan and purpose, so it is obvious. If it is just his own surrender, that's all.
, Ma Chao's death was a real great damage to his plan, although this damage was caused by the hands of the lord Lu Bu. Jia Xu certainly couldn't say anything.
Li Ru could only smile bitterly at this, because when the war situation has developed to this point, it can be said that their arrival has played a key role, and this is obviously not his original intention. After all, if he does not say this, will it eventually destroy Jia Xu?
The overall plan, but it is inevitable to have influence and be hated by him, and Jia Xu is Lu Bu's number one plotter, with an unusual position, Li Ru will also have a headache if he offends him.
Thinking of this, Li Ru frowned and said apologetically: "Ru Shi didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Now that Ma Mengqi has gone and Ru is unwilling to enter the Luoyang quagmire again. There is no other force in the city that can hold it, I'm afraid.
It will ruin Marquis Wen's plan."
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu shook his head and laughed and said: "Wen You knows Bu Di. To tell the truth, he withdrew the army from Luoyang City to harm your combined army with Ma Chao. This plan was actually entirely Jia Wen He's own initiative to kill first and then show off."
Bu said this not to shirk responsibility. In fact, even if Wen He's plan was wrong, Bu would have to help him bear the consequences. Moreover, Wen You could also imagine that if this plan was successful, it would be beneficial to Bu and even the entire Central Plains corruption situation.
.”
Li Ru really didn't expect that in his previous thoughts, although this matter seemed to be led by Jia Xu, who was in charge of Luoyang at the time, Jia Xu was just a subordinate, and his background was not outstanding.
His power and position all come from Lu Bu. How could he make such a major decision without Lu Bu's approval?
But now when he heard what Lu Bu said again, his heart suddenly moved.
Listening to Lu Bu, although he was a little dissatisfied with Jia Xu's behavior of killing first and then reporting later, it was within the limit, and it was not even angry. Although Jia Xu would definitely be punished if his deployment was wrong, it was obvious that Lu Bu had
What Jia Xu did
Because he still recognized it, and this was definitely not a verbal talk, he was indeed supporting it. Otherwise, this time he should not just sneak into Luoyang City in disguise to rescue Cai Yong, but instead use a large army to break into Luoyang City and put an end to Cai Yong.
He and Ma Chao ran away first before talking.
This situation made Li Ru think of his father-in-law again, and his heart was filled with sadness. As a lord, even Dong Zhuo, who had been able to give him fluent advice in the early days, had never treated him like Lu Bu now.
The minister is so magnanimous, just like this time Jia Xu made decisions without authorization, because Lu Bu was
The time was not around, and the coalition forces of Li Ru and Ma Chao were arriving in an instant, and there was not much time to go back and forth for advice, so they made a decisive decision immediately, and all of this was based on the confirmation of Jia Xu's careful consideration, which was definitely indispensable.
Lu Bu's trust in him gave him the confidence and determination to make the decision on his own.
However, the deceased has passed away, and Li Ru can only think about it in his mind, and cannot say anything. As for Lu Bu's words, he also played an embarrassing role in the change of stance, so it is not good either.
He didn't express any opinions. He just smiled and said: "Since it has already happened, it is useless to regret it. I don't know what Marquis Wen will do next."
Lu Bu took a deep look at Li Ru and suddenly said something that seemed to have no beginning or end: "Pang Lingming had already returned to the city under the escort of some soldiers before Wen You arrived here."
Li Ru didn't react at first, but his mind moved quickly, especially his participation in it gave him a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences, so a smile slowly appeared on his face, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Bu also revealed
With a hint of admiration, he was very sure that this was what Lu Bu had come up with in such a short period of time. If he had not focused on the big picture and had an overview of the whole situation, it would have been difficult for him to think of such a detailed point so quickly.
"So say"
Lu Bu looked at Li Ru with a smile and said, "Don't tell Bu, Wen You hasn't thought of what to do yet. If you really want Bu to tell him, it would be in four words: full performance."
"Hahaha" the two of them laughed together. The previous nervousness and embarrassment seemed to have disappeared, replaced by calmness and waiting for good news. To be continued
