Chapter 352 Yuan Shu's Conditions(1/2)
"Then congratulate the adoptive father in advance for killing the enemy!"
Although Lu Bu said congratulations, he felt very unhappy.
He defeated Cao Cao's army, but in the end it was Liu Bei who took advantage of it.
While the two were talking, smoke and dust were rolling in the distance.
Dong Zhuo smiled and said:
"It must be that Liu Xuande returned triumphantly.
Our family wants to see, and later Cao Cao will see what kind of expression our family is."
The army in the distance soon came to Dong Zhuo, and they were really the three brothers Liu Bei.
But the number of people in this army is much smaller.
The 20,000 Xiliang soldiers assigned to Liu Bei were less than half.
The three brothers Liu Bei also lowered their heads, looking depressed.
Dong Zhuo looked at the unlucky behavior of the three brothers Liu Bei and said in confusion:
"Liu Bei, what's going on with you?
Why is this the only thing left to you with my soldiers?
Where is Cao Cao?”
These soul-torture questions made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei feel ashamed.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was thick-skinned and stepped forward and replied calmly:
"I ambush Cao Cao by the Prime Minister, and I am about to capture this thief alive.
But he was attacked by Yuan Shu's army.
He was outnumbered and could only lead his army to retreat, and asked the Prime Minister to punish him!"
Yuan Shu is here to chase our family?!
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Dong Zhuo was immediately angry.
What a Yuan Shu, our family has married your baby granddaughter to you, and we are still so reluctant to forgive you!
He yelled angrily as he patted the carriage window:
"Let the Western Liang Iron Cavalry form the formation, our family will fight to the death with Yuan Shu!"
Li Ru was shocked when he heard this:
"Major, this is impossible!
The most important thing for our army now is to send the people and the emperor to Chang'an safely.
Now he turned around and fought against Yuan Shu, which was inconsistent with the interests of our army.
For the sake of the present, we should speed up the march and avoid Yuan Shu.
Please think twice about the Prime Minister!”
In fact, Dong Zhuo was also afraid of fighting with Yuan Shu, and he just shouted angrily to vent his emotions.
Now that Li Ru has given him a step forward, he said with the flow:
"As the prime minister of Han, our family must still put His Majesty's safety first.
The soldiers were sent to speed up the march!
If those untouchables go slowly, they don’t need to show mercy and kill them directly!”
Zhang Fei glared at him and was about to step forward to kill Dong Zhuo, but was pressed tightly by Guan Yu beside him.
Guan Yu lowered his voice and said to Zhang Fei:
"Yingde should not be reckless, but should put the elder brother's great cause first."
Zhang Fei suddenly became as sluggish as a deflated ball.
Since joining Dong Zhuo, more and more things have made him dislike.
Every time I want to take action, my two brothers will stop me from me and tell me that I cannot be reckless for my elder brother's great cause.
Zhang Fei is very confused now. What is his brother’s great cause?
After Dong Zhuo's order was given, the people accompanying him became even more miserable.
In order to achieve the goal of a rapid march, the Xiliang soldiers trampled on them even more violently.
"Master, Yuan Shujun is catching up with you!"
An hour later, the scout came to report.
No matter how the Xiliang soldiers forced them, the people could not be much faster.
It is even more unrealistic to leave the people behind and go to Chang'an, and it is inevitable that Yuan Shujun will be caught up with.
Dong Zhuo was a little panicked at this time and asked his son-in-law Li Ru:
"What should I do, my son-in-law?"
Li Ru had no good idea, and sighed and said:
"My father-in-law, for the sake of the present plan, I can only talk to Yuan Shu about the conditions. I hope he can let us go west.
The Confucians believe that Yuan Shu’s treacherousness now does not want to suffer both of us. As long as he gives him some benefits, he should be able to get rid of him."
"Oh, that's all."
Dong Zhuo was very unwilling to accept it. With Yuan Shu's greed, he was afraid that he would be cutting his flesh this time.
He ordered the entire army to form a formation and was ready for Yuan Shu's army.
After a quarter of an hour, Yuan Shu's army also chased after him.
Dong Zhuo twisted his fat body and walked out of the carriage, shouting to Yuan Shu:
"Yuan Shu, I am ordered by the emperor to protect my patriots and move the capital to Chang'an.
Why did you lead your troops here? Are you going to rob the Holy Vehicle?”
Dong Zhuo came up and complained first, and occupied the truth first.
Yuan Shu raised the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd in his hand and pointed at Dong Zhuo:
"Dong Zhuo, who is the traitor and who is the loyal minister who rescues the lord? Needless to say, this marquis is the only one who has his own opinions on the world!
Today I am here to fight against the bandits under Your Majesty’s secret order. Wherever the army goes, it will be invincible!
If you lead the crowd to surrender now, Your Majesty may be able to spare your life.
If you are obsessed with it, I will definitely kill you and you will be gone!”
"Kill!", "Kill", "Kill!"
In response to the words of his lord, the soldiers under Yuan Shu made a trembling cry of killing.
The sound of war drums also sounded like thunder, which greatly shocked Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers.
After a long time, Yuan Shu raised his halberd and shouted and killed and drums suddenly stopped.
The entire battlefield was silent.
Orders are prohibited!
The soldiers of Dong Zhuojun were all in awe.
The soldiers under their command absolutely do not have such military discipline.
Dong Zhuo didn't want to start a war with Yuan Shu anymore, and said with a harsh expression on his face:
"Yuan Gaolu, don't think that our family is afraid of you like this!
Our family has 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
With just one order, you can fight against you... and both sides will be hurt!
I will only get cheaper Yuan Shao, and I guess you are not happy either?
After all, our two families still have the friendship of marriage.
What conditions do you have to raise? As long as it is not too much, our family will agree!”
Yuan Shu nodded, Dong Zhuo's attitude is right.
Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command is strong, they only have 50,000 people.
However, Dong Zhuo has 200,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
Moreover, there are many famous generals under Dong Zhuo's command with great force. If they really fight, they will likely suffer as both sides as Dong Zhuo said.
This result was something Yuan Shu didn't want to see.
Yuan Shu’s mission is to capture Luoyang City and defeat Dong Zhuo, not to kill Dong thief.
