C393 (1/2)
Suddenly, Yu Fuluo was attacked, seeing that his team had suffered heavy losses, and that he did not have any chance to retaliate, his physical strength decreased greatly under the anger. He grabbed the horse belly with both legs and fled for his life. But Zhao Hong had already noticed Yu Fuluo, and screamed as he rushed forward.
Zhao Hong urged his horse to gallop, and with a loud roar, he cut off half of the horse's butt. Yu Fuluo's war horse screamed from the pain and flew into the air. Yu Fuluo panicked and was unable to hold on to the reins, hence he was heavily thrown off the horse's back.
Yu Fuluo's body flew in the air, Zhao Hong's personal soldier immediately charged forward, and used the chance to slash on his body. Yu Fuluo howled and his body fell to the ground heavily. He was immediately trampled by a group of galloping war horses, turning into meat paste in a blink of an eye.
”Prime Minister, the situation isn't looking good. Hussar General Yang Lin has finally made his move. General Niu Fu had just reported in, Yang Lin's army suddenly moved, and wiped out Yu Fuluo's Hun cavalry in one go. Right now, Yang Lin's tens of thousands of cavalrymen are stationed at Fenshui River, and it is possible for them to fall at any time. ”
Li Ru rushed over to Prime Minister's Palace and handed a emergency report over to Dong Zhuo. This was what he had just received and he did not dare to delay for even a second. Niu Fu had described the cavalry of Youzhou to be extremely terrifying. Killing seven thousand Hun cavalry s in one day was something that he had not been able to do for a few months, and it made Niu Fu a little nervous.
”Damn it!”
Dong Zhuo looked at the emergency report and cursed fiercely. What he was most worried about was Yang Lin, the moment Yang Lin took over the Hedong County, the communication between the Luoyang and the Chang'an would be affected, and if the Xiliang soldier found out about the blockade, they would probably collapse.
”Command Li Que to immediately bring over fifty thousand troops to reinforce Niu Fu so that they can secure the safety of the city and prevent Yang Lin's army from crossing the Fenshui River. Tell them, I gave them an army of over a hundred thousand, if they lose the Hedong County, they can feed the fishes in the Yellow River. ”
”Prime Minister, although it is urgent to reinforce An Yi, it is not a long term solution. Not to mention that the huge army of over a hundred thousand troops had dispersed our forces, and Yang Lin's Fen River was filled with cavalrymen. She could cross the river and attack the West Cold Army at any time. If anything happens to Li Que or her, our escape route will be cut off and the West Cold Army will be in danger. ”
Although the West Cold Army had not exchanged blows with Yang Lin's cavalry of Youzhou, Li Ru still did not dare to be careless with Yang Lin's cavalry. Especially since the majority of the current West Cold Army s were newly integrated with the northern troop or West Garden Army, there weren't many real West Cold Cavalry s present.
”Prime Minister, right now, there is Yuan Shao's alliance in the east, Yang Lin's cavalry of Youzhou in the north, and Yuan Shu's soldiers in the south. Although Luoyang has eight trials, I'm afraid the soldiers do not have any intention of defending, and they will not be able to defend. We might as well move to the Chang'an. According to the letter, the Valley of Mystery would be guarded by the heavens, and the Son of Heaven would give orders to the world. ”
”What you said makes sense. Although the Luoyang was in danger of passing the eight stages, once they lost their external help, they would become a land of death. Furthermore, as long as we occupy the Corner of Correspondence, we can enter the Luoyang at any time. ”
Without Li Ru's reminder, Dong Zhuo, who had a long experience with battle formation, naturally knew how grave the current situation was. How could he not understand that just with Li Que's and Niu Fu's great army of a hundred thousand, it would be extremely difficult to stop Yang Lin's cavalry of Youzhou. Thus, he had to consider his own path of retreat.
”However, we cannot be kicked out of the Luoyang so easily. We must make them pay the price. For safety's sake, we can let the Son of Heaven go to Chang'an first and let the West Cold Army continue to guard the Luoyang. ”
”That's good. Prime Minister, they can't let us go, and we can't let them live peacefully either. ” Li Ru's face darkened, and said coldly: ”Didn't Sun Jian kill Jingzhou Stinger King Rui? We will send another Stinger, so that their rear will not be at peace. ”
”East of the Luoyang is already occupied by the Guandong Allied Army, how can I take over? That Sun Jian is a reckless guy who recklessly kills the Minister of the Court. With him in Jing Province, who would dare to become the Acanthopanax of Jingzhou? ” Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru suspiciously, as if he couldn't believe that Li Ru had such a rotten idea.
”Prime Minister, if you send ordinary people, they won't be able to stay in Jing Prefecture. However, if I recommend someone, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Jing Prefecture.” Li Ru smiled mysteriously and said confidently, ”, the marquis of the Yuanbei Army, is a Han Dynasty. He had a grudge with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and even received cold treatment from He Jin. For him to go to Jing Province, he will definitely not ally with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian will not dare to kill him. ”
”Hehe …” Liu Biao is indeed very suitable, let him go. ” Dong Zhuo nodded his head heavily, agreeing with Li Ru's suggestion. Until now, Dong Zhuo had never had any selfish thoughts about using people. Most of the people in the West Cold Group did not place importance on him, and those who were promoted were all people from Guan Dong.
