Chapter 1097 Successful Evacuation

"Report...Report to Xiangguo! General Lu and his beloved soldiers failed to come back. If he hadn't died before, the hundreds of thousands of troops on our side would not have been able to evacuate successfully!"

"However, it seems that General Lu's side is fine. It's just that someone saw him protecting us after we retreated, so he led the army to leave north! At that time, entry was not allowed. It was easy for the Allied forces to take the opportunity to enter the pass. Presumably General Lu That's what I thought too!"

A school official under Dong Zhuo said.

Dong Zhuo sighed unhappily when he heard this, waved his hand to signal the school officer to go down, then called Li Ru, and asked, "Li Ru! Fengxian's side is still outside the pass now, what do you think should be done?"

After all, Dong Zhuo was reluctant to give up Lu Bu's side, and he couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he could only turn to Li Ru for help!

Li Ru squinted like this, and replied: "Don't worry about Xiangguo! General Lu is brave, and his Bingzhou cavalry is invincible in the world. It's okay if you can't go back to the pass for a while. Xiangguo can write a letter and send it to Lu in secret. General, let him set up another camp not far from Hulao Pass, and wait for the opportunity to move, thinking that my Xiliang army's flank may not be a good move!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he thought about it with joy and asked Li Ru: "So, my previous step was not bad?"

"Well."

When Li Ru heard this, he wanted to roll his eyes, and thought, "Xiangguo, you really have a big heart. After you let Lu Bu die, he will definitely have resentment. If there is a tiger prison, why should you support people? Isn't it unnecessary? ?”

Fortunately, Li Ru knew Dong Zhuo's temperament, so he didn't dare to say this, but praised: "It's a wonderful move, but Xiangguo! After all, Lu Bu made a great contribution this time. He is afraid that there will be complaints, Xiangguo still needs to give him a certain reward to eliminate his resentment."

"Son Lu Bu, you can only use kindness and power to win him over, otherwise, it's easy to get hotheaded and do irrational things! Come to think of it, Xiangguo won't forget how Ding Yuan died, right?"

This was what Li Ru was really worried about. Lu Bu was a ticking time bomb, and he couldn't help but be appeased. What's more, Dong Zhuo's previous behavior was unacceptable.

This is a mistake, you can deny it, but it must be remedied!

"Well, let's do it! Then reward him with some gold and silver beauties!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and felt it was reasonable, so he agreed.

On the other side, after Lu Bu completed the task of protecting the Xiliang Army, he led 50,000 cavalry under his command and withdrew directly to the north to nearby counties.

As for Hulao Pass?

Then leave it to the bastard Dong Zhuo! Anyway, he can't go back now, can he?

Dong Zhuo's actions this time completely chilled his heart, and Lu Bu had already begun to consider leaving Dong Zhuo.

"Attack me! Take Hulao pass in one fell swoop, kill Dong Zhuo, save the emperor! Kill!"

On the side of the Allied forces, no one went after Lu Bu. During the brief confrontation before, all the princes could see that Lu Bu and his 50,000 Bingzhou cavalry were undoubtedly a tough nut to crack. lost heavily.

In the situation of night wind paddling, no one mentioned the matter of chasing Lu Bu, and directly launched a fierce attack on Hulao Pass under Yuan Shao's command.

This time, I hope that I am not going to spend any more time, and I am ready to storm Hulao Pass. The siege equipment is also sent to the front line from the rear continuously, vowing to break through Hulao Pass in one fell swoop.

Don't forget, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo's deep blood feud, but it has only been a day or two, and Yuan Shao has not forgotten it.

Hulao Pass is undoubtedly a real natural moat. Since Yuan Shao ordered a strong attack, the attack lasted for more than two months. The Allied forces lost a lot of troops, so they didn't take down Hulao Pass.

Inside Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was also not having a good time. The high-intensity defense for more than two consecutive months also exhausted the Xiliang army, with more than 200,000 casualties, and the consumption of food, grass and ordnance was countless. , Dong Zhuo was so distressed that he bled.

"Damn! Damn!"

Inside Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo walked back and forth quickly in the meeting hall, jumping his feet angrily. He was very dissatisfied with the result, and he was fully prepared. Dong Zhuo had only about 1.5 million troops, and half of them were new troops. The strength is low, and now they have lost more than 200,000 yuan. This is not all recruits, on the contrary, veterans account for more than half.

Especially what made him unable to endure was the consumption of money and food. If this continued, he would be poor!

how can this work

no!

no!

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and could only turn to Li Ru for help: "Li Ru! It's not a problem to fight like this. Tell me, what should we do next!"

Don't look at Dong Zhuo's roughness, just think he is really stupid!

He now only occupies two prefectures and counties, Sili and Xiliang. Among them, Xiliang basically does not produce food. Because of the war, less than half of Sili's population escaped, most of which were taken away by the night wind in Bingzhou. You Let Dong Zhuo compete with the princes for consumption?

He is not crazy yet!

Now he is the target of everyone's criticism, and he is the target that the princes want to get rid of quickly. How to change the current situation is the key point.

Otherwise, sooner or later he would be consumed by the princes.

"hehe!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still able to keep his head clear, Li Ru couldn't help but smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Xiao Xu has already thought of Xiangguo's concerns! Although Hulao Pass is a powerful pass, it will be breached one day. , just as Xiangguo thought, we can't afford to spend for the time being."

"But it's not impossible to break the situation!"

"The reason why those princes joined forces to attack us is for the sake of the emperor and fame, but they have been scattered from the beginning to the end. As long as there is a suitable reason, it is easy to break without attack!"

Speaking of this, Li Ru is also full of confidence, and he is quite disdainful to the princes!

No matter how powerful you are, you still have to drink my footwashing water from Li Ru!

"Oh! Li Ru! Please make your words clear! Don't make all these twists and turns, our family will suffer from brain pain!"

Listening to Li Ru's long speech, Dong Zhuo felt his head was going to explode!

What are these talking about?

To be blunt, can you die?

"Ugh! Hehe!"

Li Ru smiled awkwardly, knowing that it wasn't when he was showing off his depth, he quickly said: "Xiangguo! Xiaoxu has a plan, which can not only solve the current deadlock, but also make the princes fall apart. He just wants to lose some territory. I don't know what Xiangguo wants. listen?"

"Oh... tell us to listen to it! As long as it's a good idea, we don't care if we lose some territory! We have to pay attention to profit! Pay attention to profit! Right?...Say it! Say it!"

Dong Zhuo immediately became interested, and hurriedly urged Li Ru to continue.
