Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 458 Chang'an Crisis, Dong Zhuo Summons Li Ru



"What is the purpose of General Guan coming to our barracks?"

Cao Shuo looked at Guan Yu with a smile on his face. Just by standing here, Dong Zhuo's imagination could flow.

Guan Yu didn't realize the problem yet, so he said, "The king of Wei must know about our alliance with Dong Zhuo."

"Is Yun Chang here to be a lobbyist?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I implore King Wei to save face and let Zhao Yun withdraw from Gao Pass, even if it is another person to attack."

Cao Shuo looked surprised, this Liu Bei was really a villain, and he used such means to confuse Dong Zhuo.

But this also illustrates a problem, Liu Bei doesn't want to be his enemy, what is this guy doing in Hanzhong?
Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Since Yun Chang has come in person, I'll give you some face."

"Come here, tell Zhao Yun to withdraw from Gao Pass, let Xu Rong lead the troops to attack Gao Pass!"

Guan Yu smiled wryly. He didn't expect Cao Shuo to attack with another person, but it didn't seem to make much difference. After all, Zhao Yun didn't need to attack the city himself.

But in this way, he can also give an explanation to his elder brother. When he is free, he will accompany Zhao Yun through two tricks, and Dong Zhuo can't say anything.

After Guan Yu left, Cao Shuo found a soldier who was about the same size as Guan Yu, and then pretended to be Guan Yu, and ordered him to lead the soldiers to attack the city.

"Let the siege crossbow go!" With the shout of fake Guan Yu, the city gate of Zheng County fell down.

Duan Yan in the city was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. This bastard Guan Yu actually helped Cao Shuo attack them, the hateful Liu Bei, treachery.

Watching the swarming Wei soldiers, Duan Wei resisted symbolically for an hour, and then led the remnant army to retreat to the vicinity of Hongmen Pavilion.

Chang'an City, in Dong Zhuo's bedroom.

Hui Dong said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, General Duan Yao sent someone to report the results of the battle!"

Dong Zhuo asked excitedly: "What's the situation? Did the Cao army in Zheng County be repelled?"

Hui Dong said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, Zheng County has been defeated by Cao Shuo's army, and now General Duan Yao is defending against the enemy at Hongmen Pavilion."

Hongmen Pavilion?
Dong Zhuo wiped off his cold sweat. Could it be that there is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, so Cao Shuo's army can bypass the Hongmen Pavilion and directly attack Chang'an?
What on earth is this Duan Yao doing? He has been defeated one after another.

"Notify Li Ru and Li Jue immediately, let them lead the army back to Chang'an, and guard Chang'an for me!"

Hui Dong said in a very embarrassed way: "Your Majesty, General Duan Yan sent a very bad piece of information."

Dong Zhuo's heart tightened, and he asked, "Could it be that Li Ru was also defeated?"

"No, General Duan Yan met Guan Yu in Zheng County, and the other party led an army to attack Zheng County."

"what?"

"Liu Bei, who is a dog, actually eats the inside out."

"Come on, attack Sanguan for me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, we don't have too many troops to deal with Liu Bei for the time being."

Dong Zhuo was about to die of anger, this bastard Liu Bei dared to play tricks.

He gave Liu Bei so many benefits, and when he saw that he couldn't do it, he went to please Cao Shuo.

"Bad brat."
Dong Zhuo cursed angrily, and then ordered Huidong to recall Li Ru as soon as possible, and Zuo Fengling just left Li Jue alone.

Now is the time when Chang'an needs Li Ru's resourcefulness, and I hope he can find a way to hold him back.

Li Ru, who was far away from Zuo Fengling, heard that Zheng County had fallen, and Huang Zhong had built a ferry to cross the Yellow River, so he ordered Li Jue to retreat to the west of Jingshui, taking advantage of the natural danger of Jingshui, and led Gaoshun's cavalry.

Then he took [-] cavalry and crossed the Yellow River directly to the bank of the Yellow River to the north of Hongmen Pavilion, ten miles away from Duan Yao's camp.

When Li Ru came to Duan Yan's camp, Duan Yan said with a face full of self-blame: "Your Highness, the last general is incompetent and not only lost Tongguan, but just let the other party take Zheng County."

Li Ru shook his head, and didn't know what to say. After all, he was the one who came up with the idea, but he didn't expect that the opponent's soldiers would be so powerful and their equipment had such high defense.

"General Duan, don't blame yourself. I lost this battle. I will explain the situation to His Majesty."

Duan Yan said angrily: "'His Royal Highness, the general saw Guan Yu outside Zheng County at the end of the day, and this bastard actually helped Cao Shuo attack us."

Li Ru narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously, "Are you sure it's Guan Yu?"

"The final general can be sure that there is no second person in the world with a red face and long beard, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Saber."

Li Ru fell into deep thought. It stands to reason that Liu Bei accepted so many supplies from them, even if he didn't like them, he wouldn't make it so obvious.

It was a bit unexpected to let Guan Yu lead the army to attack the city directly. With so many strong generals under Cao Shuo, there was no need for Guan Yu, an outsider, to perform.

Unless Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Shuo, but if Liu Bei surrendered Cao Shuo, then he would definitely leave the pass and attack their backs.

There must be something they have neglected in the process, and they must send someone to ask about it.

"Is Cao Shuo in the camp to the east?"

"I don't know about this last general, but there are at least 8 people in the camp of the Wei army. Cao Shuo should be in the camp. The last general has seen Cao Shuo outside Zheng County."

Li Ru thought for a while, and then ordered: "Tonight, you and I will attack Cao Shuo's camp in three waves. You will lead [-] cavalry first, and I will lead [-] cavalry behind. Vice-General Wu will lead [-] cavalry. Always support."

"Even if Cao Shuo can count that we will attack the camp, it is impossible to count that our army will divide into three waves and attack successively."

Duan Yan nodded, and then ordered his lieutenant to prepare troops.

In Cao Shuo's camp, several counselors gathered together to discuss how to break through Chang'an.

For them, Hongmen Pavilion has no meaning anymore, they can go to Hongmen Pavilion or not.

Xi Zhicai said: "According to Jin Yiwei's news, it seems that Li Ru led an army to the Hongmen Pavilion."

Cao Shuo narrowed his eyes, and said with a puzzled expression, "Don't he need to go to Chang'an? Come to Hongmen Pavilion at this time, isn't it afraid that we will go around and attack Chang'an?"

Guo Jia explained: "If my guess is correct, Li Ru led the army here just to protect Chang'an."

"He knew that we would attack Chang'an, so he put the army outside. If we bypass the Hongmen, then he can attack us behind."

"Moreover, he also knows his important position in the Qin army. If we can take down Li Ru, Dong Zhuo will lose his right-hand man. He is using himself as a bait."

Cao Shuo agrees with Guo Jia's analysis very much. Li Ru should have this idea, but he thinks too highly of himself. If he pretends to attack Chang'an now, then he must go to the rescue.

It is much easier to ambush a few soldiers on the road and wait for him than to attack his camp directly.

Xi Zhicai reminded: "Li Ru is insidious and cunning, and he often surprises us by surprise. We need to beware of the other party's sneak attack."
