Chapter 31
Chapter 31
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were fighting, heard this, looked at each other, then suddenly exerted force to force Lu Bu to retreat, and then shouted: "Brothers, let's retreat."
Then he led his men to the east to break through. After all, Luoyang City was to the west, which was the enemy's base camp, and the east was also close to Youzhou. Since he decided to surrender to Liu Bin, he would of course bring him a meeting gift. These Bingzhou troops were the meeting gifts prepared by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun for Liu Bin.
When Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao and the others want to break through, he couldn't help but shouted in a grim voice: "I want to run away? It's not that easy. I'd better stay."
Lu Bu was also very depressed tonight. The Bingzhou Army, who had been obeying his words, dared to slap him. At first, he was besieged by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and it was so depressed. Now the situation has finally reversed and he has the advantage, they want to run away. How could it be so easy? So he also brought people to chase Zhang Liao and the others. But who knew that at this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the barracks and the barracks were burned. Even the horses began to scatter around. Because it was a sudden battle at night, they had been fighting in infantry and the horses were still in stables. Now they were being used by Liu Bin's people, who set fires everywhere in the Bingzhou army and drove the horses out of the stables, causing them to become completely in chaos.
Seeing this situation, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and had to stop first, put out the fire and save the horses. Zhang Liao and the others ran away. Then everything in the military camp belongs to him, Lu Bu, who will be in the future in the Western Liang army. If all of them are burned, it would be better to treat Lu Bu, who regards wealth as his life, feel sorry for him. For Zhang Liao and the others, they can only give up first. There will always be a chance to deal with them in the future. So Lu Bu still asked someone to save the military camp quickly. This also allowed Zhang Liao and his group to break through successfully before Dong Zhuo's army arrived.
After going out. Seeing this situation, Liu Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just seen Lu Bu chasing him, and he had decided to stop Lu Bu himself. He could not let Lu Bu kill Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. These two people are real talents. Needless to say, Zhang Liao, the leader of the five good generals of Cao Wei. Although Gao Shun is not famous, his camp under his command is the well-deserved first army of the Three Kingdoms. How could Liu Bin let go of such talents that already belong to him? Even now that he has exposed his identity, he has to save them.
Fortunately, the special forces were in action at this time, and Lu Bu was a man who regarded wealth as his life, and was eager to go back to save his property, so he did not chase Zhang Liao and the others, so he didn't have to reveal his identity. Liu Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Si next to him: "You go to the front to meet Zhang Liao and the others. Then let them take the scattered Bingzhou army, and then you take them back to Youzhou."
Liu Si nodded and said, "What about you, lord? You won't have to stay."
Liu Bin smiled and said, "Of course, it's not convenient for me to go back with you now, otherwise wouldn't my identity be revealed. But don't worry, I will go back by myself in two days. There will be no problem."
Liu Si thought for a while and had to agree. Then he quickly went to pick up Zhang Liao and the others.
Zhang Liao and the others rushed out of the Bingzhou Army camp and ran east for a distance. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind them, they stopped first. This battle happened so suddenly that they rushed out and had nothing but weapons and armor, and they didn't even have a horse. Now they were like this, let alone going to Youzhou, even if Lu Bu and the others didn't chase them, they would have to fend for themselves. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at the Bingzhou army they led and couldn't help but sigh. What should we do now to overcome the difficulties? Without food and grass, they can't be robbers.
The men in black also ran out with Zhang Liao and the others. Seeing Zhang Liao sighing and knowing that they were worried about the borrowed things, one of the men in black smiled and said, "General Zhang, don't worry, our leader will definitely expect this kind of thing to happen. Maybe he will come over in a while to solve the general's problem."
Zhang Liao forced a smile and said, "I hope this is the case."
It is not Zhang Liao who doesn't believe the words of the man in black. Although not all those who escaped with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and others this time, there are about 20,000 people who are loyal to Ding Yuan, there are almost 20,000 people. Even if the leader of the man in black is prepared, he may not be able to prepare enough things for more than 20,000 people to use for more than ten days. It will take more than ten days to get from here to Youzhou. The man in black smiled slightly when he saw Zhang Liao's reluctant expression, took out something, and then lit it with a firework. A firework that soared into the sky was released above the group of people. This is a signal they prepared in advance. I believe that someone will come to pick them up soon.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu Si followed the fireworks instructions and rushed over. He led hundreds of people behind him, and these hundreds of Europeans drove a group of horses and a dozen carriages. The man in black saw Liu Si and knew that the overall situation had finally been settled, he said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, this is the guard next to our lord. He has been following the lord for the longest time. Now he is our person in charge in Luoyang."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded slightly. After Liu Si rushed over, he saw that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were all here, and he also knew Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, so he quickly said, "General Zhang, General Gao, I'm sorry, let you wait for a long time."
Zhang Liao smiled and said nothing.
Liu Si continued: "I know General Zhang, you came out in a hurry, so you may not bring food and grass, so I just prepared something for General Zhang first, hoping that General Zhang would accept it with a smile."
After saying that, someone brought the things up and said, "There are 15,000 horses here, and the food and grass are enough for 20,000 people to eat for half a month. I believe it should be enough for General Zhang to use it."
It’s okay to say that there are so many horses, but Zhang Liao and the others are a little surprised. How could they take out so many horses at once? You know, this is Luoyang, how could they hide so many horses? However, Zhang Liao looked carefully and found that many of these horses were horses of their Bingzhou Army. This made Zhang Liao a little confused. Liu Si smiled and said, "For a moment, we naturally couldn’t bring out so many horses. After all, this is Luoyang, and the target is too big. These horses were actually brought out by us when the military camp was in chaos just now. I hope General Zhang doesn’t mind."
Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun suddenly looked at it. The group of people were indeed well prepared, but Zhang Liao felt that they seemed to have been involved in some conspiracy. How could the people in Youzhou be so pretentious? Could it be that they did all this on purpose? Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know how we should do it next? Now the capital is like this, I wonder if Your Highness King Jin will come to Beijing to serve the king?" Liu Si shook his head and said, "You should follow us back to Youzhou first. Your Highness King Jin has not received the order.
, It is really inconvenient to enter the capital. How to serve the king?" Zhang Liao said with some confusion: "Now Dong Zhuo is arrogant and domineering, and even wants to abolish the emperor and establish a new king. Does the King of Jin ignore this? Just let the traitor continue to be arrogant?" Liu Si smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "It's true. Your Highness King of Jin has also received a secret order from the First Emperor to protect King Chenliu of the throne. Although Dong Zhuo is a bit arrogant, he does indeed act according to the order of the First Emperor. Your Highness King of Jin is really inconvenient to intervene."
When Zhang Liao and Gao Shun heard this, they looked at each other. Is Dong Zhuo really a loyal minister or a righteous man? If this is the case, it is really inconvenient for them to say anything else. Liu Si said: "It's not appropriate for General Zhang to do something later. Let's go on the road. So there will be no chasing soldiers to catch up with you, and that's a big deal."
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other and it was only that. Although they were still a little confused, since Liu Bin had put in such a lot of effort and they had brought so many people to join him, I believe Liu Bin would reuse them. As for other things, they were all the affairs of the upper class. It was really inconvenient for them to take care of themselves. So the two nodded, distributed the horses and food, and after a short rest, they set out overnight. It is really not safe here now.
Their affairs came to an end for the time being. In the Bingzhou military camp, Lu Bu and his men finally put out the fire and calmed down the camp. However, after Lu Bu asked someone to clear some losses, he couldn't help but be furious. The Bingzhou army's food and grass had already exceeded half of the stock trading, and it was burned down. Even more than 20,000 horses were lost. As for the Bingzhou army, which originally had more than 100,000, now after some people dispersed privately, and Zhang Liao and others took away tens of thousands of people, only less than 40,000 people were left. The strength of the entire Bingzhou army was only 30% of the peak period. How could Lu Bu, who had already regarded the Bingzhou army as his private property? He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun. You two bastards. Don't let me meet you. Otherwise, I must kill you."
However, no matter how angry it is, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly find Dong Zhuo and the others and hand Ding Yuan's head to them. Last night, Dong Zhuo was originally planning to send a large army to help Lu Bu, but was destroyed by Liu Bin's people and set fires everywhere in the army, so they didn't have time to come out and stayed in the military camp to put out the fire. Now it's probably just calm down. It's just right for Lu Bu to go at this time.
