thump…
Li Ru fell to the ground, and Niu Fu quickly came over to help him: "Sir, sir, are you okay..."
"Uh-huh..." Li Ru screamed, his eyes streaming with tears, but bursting with anger. He gnashed his teeth and beat his chest and feet, "Little Lu Bu, little kid Lu Bu! And that thief Sima Yi... My high hall has already She is seventy years old. My mother has burned incense and worshiped Buddha all her life, and she has given rice and porridge to the poor. Now she has ended up like this. I hate it...I hate that the child Fengxian should have been killed in the first place. I hate it!"
Li Ru spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Niu Fu said in a panic: "Sir, you must protect your health! Sir!"
"My baby's name is Li Xian. He recited the Three-Character Sutra by heart at the age of three. He is the most outstanding among my sons. I still expected him to grow up and inherit my mantle, but he was...burned alive." Burn him to death!" Li Ru's face turned pale and he looked like he was dying. "I took a new concubine. This girl is beautiful and fragrant. She is the daughter of an old friend of mine. He has only one daughter left. He has been with me for two years. Yes, she is considerate and knowledgeable, she...she was beheaded by Lu Bu, her body and head were separated, what did she do wrong? What did he do wrong?!"
"Lu Bu was originally a treacherous person. He killed Ding Yuan first, and then his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, who was his foster father! He actually killed someone for a maid... This person must be eliminated. I will gather my troops right away. , capture Chang'an!" Niu Fu said bitterly.
"Absolutely not!" Li Ru recovered a little, and his head became clearer. He said: "Now attack Chang'an. Let's not talk about Chang'an being easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a fortified city. Let's talk about Lu Bu's men. Those eight capable generals are not ordinary people. If the general were to attack Chang'an now, he would probably have his entire army wiped out."
Niu Fu's temper got worse. He stamped his feet and said, "This won't work, that won't work either. This Lu Bu is so hated by others, should we just let it go?!"
"We can't forget it!" Li Ru gritted his teeth and said, "This debt is irreconcilable! Although I don't know who wronged us both, it is no longer important now. Lu Bu can't help but ignore it. We explained and killed him immediately. Such a person is no longer sworn in with us! Although we have 100,000 Xiliang cavalry now, we have lost the city. I am afraid we have no foothold. By then we will not be able to attack. No, retreating is not... General Niu, how much food and grass do we have now?"
"There are still three days..." Niu Fu lowered his head, "After three days, if there are no supplies, I'm afraid we will have to kill horses to satisfy our hunger."
"General, I have a plan to protect myself without any worries!" Li Ru said.
As if he had found a treasure, Niu Fu stood up quickly and said, "Sir, please tell me!"
"Do you still remember that there is Yuncheng between Luoyang and Chang'an?" Li Ru said.
Niu Fu said: "Indeed, this is a supply city with countless food and wages. It is said that it was prepared by Sima Yi to attack Luoyang."
"Yes, the wanted order in Chang'an has not yet been issued, and the general still has the tiger talisman with him. As long as the general takes the opportunity to enter Yuncheng in the name of replacing the guard general with the lord, and then after we capture Yuncheng and show our goodwill to the Luoyang court, we will have One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, plus the important town of Yuncheng, with these two first conditions in our hands, Luoyang will definitely win over us. By then we can get Luoyang's allies, and resisting Lu Bu's army will not be a problem at all!" Li Ru said.
Niu Fu clapped his hands and said, "Sir, you really have a clever plan, but what if Lu Bu brings an army to attack us?"
"Then we won't be able to hold on. We must know that there is a deep valley plank road in the place, and there are countless stones around it. It is enough for us to defend the city, and we can also separate one side!" Li Ru said.
Niu Fu asked again: "Sir, are you planning to join the Luoyang court?"
"The Luoyang court is actually the same as the Chang'an court. It's just an excuse for a group of people to worship the 'Han Dynasty orthodoxy'. Li Yuguo is now a general. In fact, he is similar to Lu Bu, but Li Huguo is a wise and courageous person. We will definitely be accepted," Li Ru said.
"Okay, let's follow Sir's plan!"
Niu Fu immediately led the army to leave Yuncheng. The defender of Yuncheng was very surprised when he saw the army coming. He said on the top of the city: "Who is coming?"
"I am the cavalry general Niu Fu. I have received a secret order from the general Lu Bu and come here to replace you. I'm afraid there are heavy troops coming from Luoyang to attack. Please open the city gate quickly and meet us!" Niu Fu said.
The guard laughed loudly: "I'm not that stupid. If you defect to the enemy, wouldn't I become a sinner for all eternity?"
"General Zhao Si, please see who is here?" Li Ru said with a smile.
Li Ru was Zhao Si's benefactor. It was he who recommended Zhao Si to become a general. How could Zhao Si not be grateful? Zhao Si quickly said: "It turns out to be Mr. Hurry... open the city gate quickly!"
Squeaky...
As soon as the city gate opened, Niu Fu and Li Ru looked at each other and smiled. Zhao Si also hurriedly went down to the city to greet him. Unexpectedly, when Niu Fu was approaching him, he suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and struck down with the sword. Zhao Si was killed before he could. Yelling, his body and head will be removed immediately!
Blood was sprinkled all over the city gate, and Niu Fu grabbed Zhao Si's head and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Zhao Si surrendered to the enemy and committed treason, and his crime was increased to the next level. Therefore, the superiors asked me to come and take his life. You soldiers will follow From today on, I, Old Niu, will be in charge!"
"Yes!" Everyone stood upright and said in response.
But Niu Fu only killed one person and entered the city to take the throne.
This matter quickly reached Li Yuguo's mind. In the handsome manor in Luoyang, Li Huguo leaned back on a bench, dragging his face with one hand and thinking deeply.
Suddenly, a general came over quickly: "General, general! Li Ru, the prefect of Yuncheng, has brought Tou Chengcheng!"
"Bring it quickly!" Li Huguo was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this letter for a whole day.
At this time, the family member delivered the envelope. Li Huguo opened the letter and read it, and immediately burst out laughing: "God help me, God help me!"
"Ming Gong is really a man of God. One act has directly alienated Li Ru. This Li Ru is the best counselor in the world. With his help, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?!" Xun Yu said with a smile.
Li Yuguo closed the letter and said: "They just borrowed the name of our Luoyang court, and they may not necessarily surrender wholeheartedly, but for now we can cooperate. With them guarding Yuncheng, we in Luoyang can be safe for the time being. In this way, We can then focus on dealing with the others.”
"Others?" Everyone looked at Li Huguo.
