Chapter 78 Official complaints are the most deadly
Hearing what Zhao Feng said, Cao Cao showed unexpected joy.
Money is extremely important at any time, and so is war.
Zhao Feng continued: "Luoyang's three-hundred-year-old treasure house has been emptied by Dong thieves. Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't take some out to use as military pay?"
Indeed, in Luoyang, countless princes did not find much property, and all of them were taken away by Dong Zhuo.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao showed a hint of intention: "Military advisor, if you want to take money, what should we do?"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly: "My lord, don't worry. If my guess is correct, since they can let Xu Rong and Lu Bu come to ambush, it means that Dong Zhuo's army does not have any troops in the rear!"
"We just need to rev up the horsepower to catch up!"
Having said this, Zhao Feng showed a smile, "There is a lot of property in the rear logistics department!"
Hearing this, even Cao Cao showed a greedy look: "Military advisor, is this feasible?"
"Of course!" Zhao Feng replied confidently.
After a while, Dong Zhuo slowed down his march because he had listened to Li Ru's words. The mighty team was not slow in the first place.
Today's speed is even more like browsing the scenery.
Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, "Why haven't Xu Rong and Lu Bu returned yet?"
For some reason, Dong Zhuo felt a little uneasy in his heart.
However, Li Ru said calmly: "Master Xiangguo, don't panic, we may be encountering enemy troops now."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a man with an ugly face came forward in a hurry.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, 20,000 Cao troops raided the rear of the army, and most of the property in our logistics convoy was robbed!"
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo's face instantly darkened. Now that his army was protecting the civil and military forces of the dynasty, it would take some time to gather since they were originally scattered.
Li Ru on the side had a gloomy look on his face. He was equally unhappy. How could Cao Jun chase him here?
Dong Zhuo said with a gloomy face: "Assemble the troops to kill me immediately!"
As soon as this statement came out, he was instantly rejected by Li Ru.
"Lord, you must not stop the attack. Cao's army has 20,000 troops. It would be too time-consuming to mobilize troops to solve the problem."
"If we stop, we will definitely be left behind by the army that follows!"
Now Dong Zhuo's large forces were scattered, and Cao Jun only showed up with 20,000 troops. Li Ru had no idea how many people were behind the enemy's rear.
Moreover, he attacked Dong Zhuo's logistics troops so boldly. How could there be no support from the rear?
Li Ru said with a gloomy face: "Those people don't dare to pursue too far, they are also afraid that we will fight back before our death!"
As for the property left behind by the logistics convoy, there was no other way but to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, giving it to those Cao soldiers.
At this time, Lu Bu arrived belatedly with his defeated army. In the battle of Bianshui, those troops could not delay Zhao Yun and others at all.
What's more, the other side also has a general named Cao Ren!
"Father!" Lu Bu looked pale and did not dare to look at Dong Zhuo at all.
He felt extremely aggrieved, and his two defeats were both unexplained.
Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, and he looked at Lu Bu, his adopted son, with a trace of displeasure in his heart. Such a fierce general, serving under his command, failed to win a single victory!
Li Ru's expression was not much better, and he asked coldly: "Where is Xu Rong!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu's face turned livid: "We were ambushed by Cao Cao's army near the Bianshui River. I didn't expect that Cao Cao and others would take the lead and wait for us there!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu looked at Li Ru and was extremely puzzled by this matter. Why did Cao Cao and the others know their plan and ambush them in advance?
At the same time, Lu Bu heard the conversation between Zhao Yun and Xu Rong in Bianshui, his eyes flashed, and he told everything.
"In my opinion, Xu Rong must have rebelled and secretly leaked our news!"
Facing Lu Bu's words, Li Ru hesitated, obviously not believing it.
Xu Rongnai was his confidant and had never communicated with Cao Cao before. Now it was just Lu Bu's one-sided statement, and Li Ru would definitely not believe it.
Similarly, Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu angrily: "It's useless to talk more. What's the point of asking you Lu Fengxian now!"
"Something that fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"
Dong Zhuo's words with murderous intent came to him. He tolerated Lu Bu again and again, but what was waiting for him in the end!
What was waiting for was the news of the fall of Hulao Pass, the news of returning from the battle in defeat. I couldn't bear it anymore and I couldn't bear it any longer!
"I've already given you a chance!"
Dong Zhuo glanced at Lu Bu again. This time there was no emotion in it, and even the anger temporarily disappeared.
Those cold and lifeless pupils seemed to be telling Lu Bu that you have been abandoned. The look in your eyes, as if you were looking at a dead person, made Lu Bu extremely uncomfortable.
"Come here, take Lu Bu down for me!"
This sentence should have come out of his mouth angrily, but at this moment Dong Zhuo's tone was very calm, very simple, Dong Zhuo had given up on this adopted son.
Li Ru on the side wanted to say something, but at this moment there was no way to stop him.
He knew that Lu Bu's force was definitely capable of rescuing Xu Rong, but he didn't take action.
Facing the several people who came, Lu Bu did not resist.
Although he was brave, he was defeated and fled here, and faced so many soldiers around Dong Zhuo that he could not even think of resisting.
"Bastard!" Dong Zhuo shouted angrily!
The scepter at hand struck directly on Lu Bu's body, along with all the anger he had accumulated before.
"You are such a waste, what use do I need from you!"
"You can't hold Hulao Pass! You can't stop Cao Jun either!"
The screams he made were all venting his anger.
Even Li Ru was watching from the sidelines. Others dared to dissuade him. They all turned a blind eye and did not dare to say anything.
Dong Zhuo cursed and shouted angrily, but Wang Yun behind him heard him.
Out of curiosity, Wang Yun heard about the reputation and went to see Dong Zhuo fighting Lu Bu!
Moreover, the blow was obviously meant to be a fatal blow, and Li Ru was actually watching from the sidelines.
Wang Yun's eyes flickered slightly, this is not possible, this Lu Bu is the most important part of his plan!
If you want to kill Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu is of great use, and you must not let Lu Bu go wrong at this time.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo's fat body seemed to be tired after a few blows and did not continue to attack, leaving half of Lu Bu's life.
After the battle with Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo was obviously very discouraged. He was extremely violent to begin with, and it was common for him to fight against soldiers.
Looking at Lu Bu, Wang Yun suddenly realized his plan. Lu Bu being so ignored by Dong Zhuo seemed to be more beneficial to his plan!
Moreover, Dong Zhuo treated Lu Bu so indifferently that all other officials would inevitably avoid him.
If he went up to make friends with Lu Bu at this time and was trying to make some small plans, then Lu Bu would definitely believe his words!
After all, countless people were avoiding him and not talking to him. How could Lu Bu ignore him when he took action at this time?
