Chapter 37: Full Fantasy Camp

The coalition forces and Dong Zhuo's forces had a offensive and defensive battle every day respectively. The coalition forces could not break through. Dong Zhuo's forces didn't want to fight back, so they dragged it out. It seemed that Yuan Shao had completely forgotten that he had said that he was incompatible with Dong Zhuo. Anyway, he's got enough fame. Of course, if he can win the entire Hulao Pass and go to Luoyang, he will really be famous.

Chen Xi looked at the blood-stained Hulao Pass. The siege was so cruel that people die every day.

"Chen Xi, how long do you think it will take us to get to Luoyang?" Zhang Fei asked with a depressed expression. 90% of the injury he suffered has now been recovered. And according to the feeling of Zhang Fei, he himself, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun's power has grown by a section.

"It's almost time. Dong Zhuo, who has been sitting on the city's head, hasn't been seen for several days. He wanted to abandon the forces here and escape." Chen Xi said calmly, "What do you think of Lu Bu?"

"Lu Bu?" Zhang Fei had some disgust on his face, but then scratched his head. "In fairness, he is indeed the strongest master, but I am very uncomfortable with his character. Why does Chen Xi asked?"

"I'll start a full fantasy generals lineup, the basic requirement is your level." Chen Xi said blankly.

"Huh? This requirement is very difficult. How can I say, that your 3rd brother is also a master at the top, you can count with your fingers for those that meet the requirement!" Zhang Fei raised his head and said with a lonely expression.

"Almost killed by Lu Bu." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.

"Zichuan, let's not talk about Lu Bu's character first. Lu Bu's own power alone will make it difficult for us to recruit him." Zhao Yun said quietly behind Chen Xi.

"So you don't mind if I try to recruit him." Chen Xi turned his head and found that not only Zhao Yun but Guan Yu and Liu Bei were also there.

"Lu Bu is indeed a hero. If Chen Xi wants to try to recruit him, he can give it a try." Liu Bei gave a letter to him. In his view, this kind of harmless matter would not have much impact. As long as Chen Xi is willing, he didn't mind wasting his time doing it.

On the other side, Li Ru is correcting the plans according to Dong Zhuo's requirements. After this batch is completed, according to his estimation, the tung oil will be almost ready. The rest is to take away all the treasures and money. All the rats were lured in and burned to death.

"Huh?" Li Ru looked at the memorial, and thought about it, took a blank imperial decree from the side, filled in some things at random, and then cover it with a jade seal. Then he threw the memorial aside and continued to review the next memorial. Now Li Ru is really in control.

Under the light, the memorial clearly stated that the Beihai administrator Kong Rong and Xuzhou inspector Tao Qian jointly recommend Liu Bei, a relative of the Han family, as the guardian of Taishan County, and then a big compliment.

Li Ru knew from the intelligence system at hand that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all under Liu Bei, so he was naturally interested in soliciting such powerful military officers. Now that Dong Zhuo has delegated power to him, he naturally has to conscientiously consider for Dong Zhuo. Maybe the time is not right but after a few years, he will gather momentum and come out of Hangu Pass. Now a lot of idle chess can be used at this time, and Liu Bei happens to be his most favorite chess piece.

"Who are you?" Lu Bu asked strangely while looking at the little man sitting in his home and drinking wine.

"I'm just a messenger. Someone asked me to send you a letter, saying that it was to thank General Lu Bu for his work in Bingzhou, so I am giving this letter to you." The little man stood up and took a letter out from his arms and pass it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was expressionless, but the struggle in his eyes was hard to conceal. He took a deep breath and took the letter from the little man, and said to the servants behind him, "Give him some money and send him out of Luoyang."

"Thank you." The little man walked out quickly.

Opening the envelope, Lu Bu scanned it quickly, and then closed the letter in surprise. Holding the envelope, the shock in his heart was written directly on his face. He stretched out his hand to shake the entire letter into powder, and said to another servant, "Call Zhang Liao to come here to discuss matters!"

The next day, Li Ru ordered someone to inform Lu Bu to let him dig the Luoyang Emperor's Mausoleum to gather the treasures. Lu Bu said that his injury had not healed and did not agree.

Li Ru frowned slightly at the news but did not force Lu Bu too much. Instead, he asked Li Zhang to excavate the emperor's mausoleum, which was a fatal difference for Li Zhang!

"Li Ru, how dare you treat me like this!" Lu Bu locked himself in the room and roared angrily. He remembered what was said in the letter. Once he unearthed the emperor's mausoleum, he would mark completely as a rebel. It would be no longer possible to wash the crime off and the whole Han Dynasty will not accept him!

Thinking about what the letter said, that Li Ru will set fire to the entire Luoyang. Even Lu Bu felt frightened. He couldn't imagine how many people would be displaced. If this fire goes down, the entire million of people in Luoyang will be finished!

"General!" Zhang Liao shouted loudly at the door.

"Zhang Liao, how about the things I asked you to check." Lu Bu asked with a somber face.

"The whole Luoyang has been filled with tung oil. If I didn't deliberately investigate it, I might still be in the dark." Zhang Liao said angrily, "What does Li Ru want to do!"

"He wants to burn Luoyang and move to Chang'an," Lu Bu said quietly.

"What?" Zhang Liao shouted, and then connected everything like a line, "Lu BU, what shall we do?"

"There is no good way. It is estimated that as long as we have a little overreaction, the children will die in Luoyang. And Xu Rong has been transferred back." Lu Bu said with a sullen face, "Now I can only take one step at a time. I just pushed off the job of excavating the emperor's mausoleum, Li Ru is already suspicious of us."

"Feng Xian, let's go back to Bingzhou after this time. The people are waiting for us. When we return there, we will no longer have to care about these bullshits. We beat the Hu people, and rob their food." Zhang Liao said, looking at Lu Bu with hope,

Lu Bu was silent, Bingzhou, he also wanted to go back, but he didn't dare to go back.

Ever since Ding Yuan took the soldiers out of the state, who didn't want to come to Luoyang at all, and ever since that time because there were not enough soldiers to protect the state border, the Hu people from Saibei went south to herd horses. At that time, what he was facing was not the Hu of Saibei, but the people left behind, so he didn't have the guts to go back.

"Lu Bu!" Zhang Liao interrupted Lu Bu's thinking.

"I can't go back." Lu Bu said coldly. "Get ready for battle. We will be facing a fierce battle. Keeping our soldiers from Bingzhou is far more important than thinking about the things that have no hope!"
