At that time, Liu Ming was not polite and arranged Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others to serve as generals in the army. They were kept under his command and directly obeyed. Liu Ming also had ulterior motives in making such arrangements.
Although Liu Ming believed that Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others were not repetitive people, they had to leave it in their own hands for a few days to investigate. As for Liu Ming, they were newcomers.
For Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others, the official positions assigned by Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and others were like promotions. But for Lu Bu, it was equivalent to a demotion. When Lu Bu was under Dong Zhuo,
, has been given the title of General Fenwei and the title of Marquis Wen. The official position is higher than that of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others under Liu Ming. Now Lu Bu has also been awarded the position of Lieutenant General in the army.
That is equivalent to being demoted several levels in a row. However, Liu Ming made such arrangements as a last resort. Liu Ming could not arrange a newly surrendered prisoner to have a higher official position than his old confidants. In that case, Liu Ming would
These underlings under Ming had to blow up the camp and feel cold. Besides, now that Liu Ming spared Lu Bu from death, it was already quite good. And this Lu Bu had no merit or achievements for Liu Ming.
Even if rewards are based on merit, Lu Bu cannot be given a big official position casually. As for the official position Dong Zhuo granted to Lu Bu, Liu Ming has even destroyed Dong Zhuo now. Then he can still recognize the official position Dong Zhuo granted.
Lu Bu had no complaints about Liu Ming's reward. Lu Bu firmly believed that with his own ability, he could definitely make a name for himself under Liu Ming's men. Moreover, Lu Bu's biggest wish was to have endless wealth, and for
Lu Bu always believed that the size of his official position was just a means to realize his wishes, and Lu Bu didn't care much about it.
After Liu Ming arranged these people, he immediately ordered Guan Yu to lead 10,000 strong cavalry and Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 assault cavalry to quickly chase Dong Zhuo's fleeing troops and rescue the people of Luoyang. Liu Ming himself led his own troops
The guards then responded. As for the remaining 10,000 light infantry and 10,000 archers, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Wei Xu and others gathered the remaining troops in Bingzhou in Luoyang. After Guo Jia and others had integrated these troops
. Then chase Liu Ming's troops from behind.
As Liu Ming's order came down, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu immediately chased out with their men and horses. They galloped faster, and after less than twenty miles, the army led by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already caught up with Dong Zhuo, who was holding the people of Luoyang hostage.
The army is at its tail. After all, these people in Luoyang care about their homeland and are not a formal army. Although Dong Zhuo's soldiers brutally urged them to move, they still walked very slowly. However, after all, these people even led the officials.
There are millions of people from the army. This sea of people stretches for more than a hundred miles.
When Guan Yu saw this scene, he frowned and said to himself: There are too many people here. Just the 20,000 people led by himself and his third brother rushed into the sea of people like this, and they couldn't even see any foam.
, and they were drowned. Moreover, all Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers were now mixed with the people. It was difficult to tell the difference. These strong cavalry of ours could not hurt innocent people in such a charge.
As soon as Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu's appearance, he immediately guessed what his second brother Guan Yu was worried about. You must know that although Zhang Fei is usually impatient and too lazy to use his brain to think about problems, Zhang Fei is not.
A stupid person, just by looking at Zhang Fei's ability to practice martial arts to such a high level, you can know how strong Zhang Fei's understanding is. At that moment, Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Second brother, don't worry. These defeated soldiers have already been frightened. As long as
After we stop drinking, we will disperse in a crowd, or kneel down and beg for surrender. We can also choose the elders of those people to lead the troops back to their hometowns. Isn't that easy?"
When Guan Yu heard what Zhang Fei said was reasonable, he immediately divided his troops with Zhang Fei into two groups. Each led a group of troops and surrounded them in two groups. When Dong Zhuo's army approached, he did not rush into the crowd, but only shot intimidatingly and shouted loudly.
These soldiers were ordered to abandon their weapons and surrender.
These Dong Zhuo's soldiers were originally mostly Sili troops and horses under General He Jin, as well as some of the Bingzhou troops who went ahead. These soldiers and horses were originally reluctant to follow Dong Zhuo, but they were used to obeying orders as soldiers.
Under the pressure of Dong Zhuo, the faction had to leave. Especially among the Bingzhou soldiers and horses, there were also undercover personnel from Youzhou. This time, under the shouts of the Youzhou soldiers and horses, they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that this method was effective, they recruited soldiers along the way, gathered the people, and pursued them forward. However, as a result, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's forward speed inevitably slowed down. And Dong Zhuo's numerous
Among the soldiers, there were also some cruel lawless men. Seeing that Liu Ming's Youzhou army was about to catch up, they made up their minds and robbed the people accompanying the army wantonly. After preparing to make a good profit,
He fled into the wilderness and looked for another place to live. In this way, this huge crowd became even more chaotic.
One day later, when Guan Yu was leading his troops to advance, he saw a small group of Dong Zhuo's troops in the distance fighting around a group of people. Guan Yu quickly led his troops to rush over. Guan Yu's horse was fast, and he was the first one.
They rushed closer, but as soon as Guan Yu got closer, a carriage among the crowd's guards was knocked over by the rebels. A figure flew out from the overturned carriage. It fell on Guan Yu's horse.
In front of me, I saw that Guan Yu's 'Fire Cloud' BMW was about to trample this man. Guan Yu's equestrian skills were also superb. I saw Guan Yu wearing a silk rein, and the 'Fire Cloud' BMW stood upright.
The earth turned in one direction, and the man escaped death.
Guan Yu saw that the person who fell out was a woman, so he said to the woman: "Girl, step aside and take shelter."
At this time, the woman also got up. Seeing Guan Yu's majestic image, she didn't care much and quickly begged Guan Yu: "General, please do a good deed and be merciful and save the master of the slave family."
.”
Guan Yu didn't expect that this woman who looked like Miss Qianjin in gorgeous clothes could actually be a maid. And at this moment, in such a critical moment, she didn't care about her own safety and thought of her master first, which was quite a blessing.
Somewhat loyal. Guan Yu was grateful for this woman's loyalty and said: "This is not a problem. Our soldiers and horses in Youzhou are here to rescue the people who were persecuted by Dong Zhuo. The girl hid aside for now. Leave this place to me.
." While speaking, Guan Yu hacked to death several more Dong Zhuo's rebels who rushed over.
At this time, Guan Yu's army also followed up. The small group of Dong Zhuo's rebellious troops immediately fled in all directions. But those who could escape were all killed by Guan Yu's army on the spot. Only then did Guan Yu have time to look at them.
The people who were robbed by Dong Zhuo's rebel army, good guys, this group of people, there were no less than dozens of carriages and hundreds of people escorting them. Otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to survive in this rebel army.
After Dong Zhuo's rebel army was annihilated, several people came out from among the escorts and thanked Guan Yu for saving his life. As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he realized that these people he saw were really terrible.
He was a high-ranking official in the court. And the owner of the woman was Wang Yun, the Situ Master of the court. Guan Yu did not dare to neglect and quickly sent a special person to escort these officials to Liu Ming's army.
On the other hand, Zhang Fei also saved many high officials of the imperial court. However, what is even more gratifying is that because Zhang Fei led the shock cavalry, not only did they run faster than Guan Yu's strong cavalry, but they also
The bows and arrows of the assault cavalry are also more intimidating than the strong cavalry, so the advancing speed of Zhang Fei's troops is much faster than that of Guan Yu's troops. As a result, Dong Zhuo's transportation brigade escorting the money was also overtaken by Zhang Fei
Already.
However, these troops escorting the treasures were Dong Zhuo's subordinates, led by Dong Zhuo's confidant general Zhang Ji. Of course, they would not let Zhang Fei succeed easily. Zhang Ji fought bravely to stop Zhang Fei, but Zhang Ji did not
He was Zhang Fei's opponent. After three rounds, Zhang Fei used the "tangle" formula to knock Zhang Ji's weapons away. Zhang Ji just turned his horse and fled. Zhang Fei was just about to chase him, and among the chaotic army
, killed a young general and blocked Zhang Feide's path. It was Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji's nephew. Zhang Xiu was a disciple of Tong Yuan, a master of the generation, and was good at using the "Hundred Birds Chasing Phoenix Spear" to be unstoppable.
Immediately, he stopped Zhang Fei and fought against Zhang Fei for more than twenty rounds. It was difficult to decide the winner. However, in the end, Zhang Fei's bravery was still unmatched. He turned around and ran away with a feint.
In the chaos of the army, it was difficult for Zhang Fei to catch up. At the moment, Zhang Fei had to command his troops and horses to gather the treasure carts together. Good guy, there were thousands of carts of treasure and silk. Zhang Fei couldn't advance at this time.
We had no choice but to escort these treasure vehicles to move closer to Liu Mingde's Chinese army.
After Zhang Xiu caught up with his uncle Zhang Ji, he discussed it with Zhang Ji and felt that Dong Zhuo had lost so much of his gold and silver treasures this time. With Dong Zhuo's cruel character, he and others would definitely lose it if they returned.
There was no way to escape death. So he gathered some defeated soldiers and turned around and ran towards Jingzhou, which was still a land without one for the time being.
At the same time, Liu Ming was also receiving Wang Yun and other civil and military officials. After seeing Liu Ming, these high officials in the court could be regarded as seeing their relatives. They all cried to Liu Ming about He Jin's incompetence.
Dong Zhuo's cruelty required Liu Ming to quickly send troops to catch up with Dong Zhuo, who had hijacked the emperor's advance, and respectfully welcomed the emperor back to Luoyang. With the help of Guo Jia, who came later, Liu Ming responded to all the ministers one by one. At the same time, Liu Ming
Ming Geng took out the posthumous edict written by the late Emperor Liu Hong to him, explaining that he had ignored the general He Jin because He Jin might have conspired to rebel, and the prince's ascension to the throne was illegal. But just now
When he investigated the truth of this matter, the general He Jin had already suffered the consequences. And then, although Dong Zhuo was cruel and daring, he deposed the new emperor Liu Bian and re-established the prince Xie as the emperor, but he was also
It secretly complied with the late emperor's edict. However, Dong Zhuo later committed adultery in the palace, killed the Queen Mother, and the new emperor Liu Bian. He also sent troops to plunder the four directions, which made the world angry and resentful, so he sent troops to help the king and clear the emperor's side.
When these civil and military officials who had narrowly escaped death saw Liu Ming take out the late emperor's photo, they knew that Liu Ming was the minister designated by the late emperor. They all paid tribute to Liu Ming one after another, expressing their support for Liu Ming's assistant government. And King Situ
After Yun also expressed his support, he hurriedly said to Liu Ming: "Your Majesty Taiwei, since the emperor is now the legitimate Holy Lord, our top priority is to destroy Dong Zhuo first.
Let’s talk about it after it’s gone. We must quickly bring the emperor back safely, stabilize the government, and bring peace to the world.”
At this time, there was a chaos on the left front of Liu Ming's army, because there were still a lot of rebel troops left by Dong Zhuo at this time. Liu Ming quickly called Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng went over to take a look. Not long after, one of Wei Xu's men
He ran back and said, "Sir, a general came from the direction of Dong Zhuo's rebel army. Now General Wei and General Hou have stopped that general."
Just as he was talking, another one of Wei Xu's personal followers ran back and reported: "Report! General Wei and General Hou can't defeat them in a double battle. With the support of their own troops, they are fighting and retreating, and are retreating towards our main formation."
Back."
Lu Bu was eager to try as soon as he heard this. Lu Bu knew the abilities of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng very well. Although the abilities of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were not as good as those of Zhang Liao, they were still first-class generals. Now there are two people.
He couldn't beat anyone else, so you can imagine the ability of the other general. Lu Bu felt that this was the time for him to make a contribution. Lu Bu was just thinking about asking for orders to go on an expedition. Over there, Liu Ming had already ordered Zhang Liao to go and take over.
Lu Bu had no choice but to say nothing.
Unexpectedly, not long after Zhang Liao went on the expedition, Zhang Liao's military academy came back and said: "Report! General Zhang went to fight the enemy general, and more than forty people combined could not win. Now General Zhang, General Wei, and General Hou fight together against the enemy general."
, the fight is inextricable."
Liu Ming was a little stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lu Bu in confusion and asked, "Who else in Dong Zhuo's army has such superb martial arts?"
Lu Bu was also very surprised at this time. Although he didn't dare to tell everyone about the people under Dong Zhuo, he knew nine out of ten of them. Who had such ability and could actually defeat Zhang Liao?
, and with the joint efforts of Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng, it was difficult to distinguish the superior from the inferior. This was amazing. However, Lu Bu was also secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart: This is better, this can also give him a meritorious service.
opportunity. At that moment, Lu Bu said to Liu Ming: "Go back to Lord Taiwei. I don't know who the coming general is. However, I will guarantee that as long as the last general takes action, I can definitely capture the coming general. I will give it to Lord Taiwei."
