Then, taking advantage of the stalemate between the two sides at Hulao Pass, using Dong Zhuo's trust, he opened Mengjin Pass with a talisman, let his Bingzhou army enter the pass, and went all the way south.

Then, the inside should cooperate with the outside to capture Luoyang City.

After listening to these detailed analysis, Dong Zhuo finally believed in Li Ru, and at the same time he was so angry that he cursed: "Zhu Zi, thanks to the old man who values ​​you so much, you actually do such a thing of repaying kindness and revenge, really hateful! Hateful!!!"

After scolding, Dong Zhuo's expression changed suddenly, and he asked to quickly put on the armor, muttering: "No, I want to go back to Luoyang!"

His old mother and granddaughter are both in Luoyang City.

The forty-eighth chapter is ordered in the face of danger

Hearing that Dong Zhuo was going back to Luoyang, Li Ru was the first to come out to object and shouted eagerly, "My lord, absolutely not! If you abandon Hulao Pass, the Kwantung Bandit Army will break through the pass. At that time, they will attack you from behind, and the world will be defeated." There is no place for me to wait!"

"Don't you want me to watch my old lady and granddaughter fall into a tiger's mouth and not save them?"

Dong Zhuo asked sharply, he was cruel to others, even disregarding human life, but he was a very filial son to his elderly mother.

"My lord, those who achieve great things don't care about small things, just women and children..."

Snapped!

A loud slap made Li Ru stagger and take two steps back, the corner of his mouth was bleeding, which showed the strength of Dong Zhuo's slap.

"Li Ru, use your brain when you speak!" Dong Zhuo looked sullen, staring at Li Ru like a black bear looking for food, ready to devour him at any time.

He who often called Li Ru "a good son-in-law" also called Li Ru by his name this time.

Li Ru covered his swollen face, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he hid it well, and responded timidly: "Ru, I know I was wrong."

"Notify the Feixiong army to go to Luoyang overnight with my grand master." Dong Zhuo, who was dressed in armor, gave the order and was about to leave.

"Grand Master, after you leave, who should be in charge of Hulao Pass?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Tomorrow the Kwantung princes will come to attack again. If there is no general in command, they will fight on their own, and they will be in chaos.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he stopped in place, opened a pair of fish-like thick eyes, and scanned Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Yao and the others in the tent.

These generals have been with Dong Zhuo for many years, and Dong Zhuo also knows them well, and his military strength is brave, but the commander is mediocre, a little clever, but not enough to take on the command.

At this time, Dong Zhuo thought of someone, Xu Rong, who was also his general of Zhonglang.

When he first entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo not only recruited Luoyang's army, but also accidentally discovered such a talent as Xu Rong, and it took him a lot of effort to recruit him for his own use.

Dong Zhuo once talked with Xu Rong, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.Dong Zhuo praised Xu Rong greatly, saying that he has the style of a general and he is quite fond of him.

Capable people are often excluded. People like Niu Fu and Li Jue didn't like Xu Rong, and tried every means to drive him out of Luoyang.

The internal contradictions of the Xiliang army belong to the internal contradictions, but from the perspective of the big faction, Niu Fu and others belong to the Xiliang faction, and the Luoyang army where Xu Rong belongs, although both belong to Dong Zhuo's banner, they are in the same situation on weekdays .

Later, Dong Zhuo was addicted to pleasure, and gradually forgot about this person.

In times of crisis, Dong Zhuo thought of him.

It just so happened that Xu Rong was in Yanshi not far away at this time, with more than [-] soldiers and horses in his hands.

Dong Zhuo sent people to call Xu Rong and let him sit in Hulao Pass.

Xu Rong was grateful for Dong Zhuo's kindness and promotion, and was willing to fight for Dong Zhuo to the death in his heart, but when he heard this task, he politely refused: "Dong Gong, the qualifications of the general are mediocre, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this great task."

Dong Zhuo's ability to entrust such an important task to himself also shows Dong Zhuo's trust in Xu Rong, but people like Li Jue and Guo Si are different.

Will not be able to obey orders, this battle will basically be lost.

Therefore, Xu Rong would rather listen to orders as a general under his banner than take on the role of commander-in-chief.

Dong Zhuo looked back at the generals present, and knew that his subordinates were all rebellious and would not obey Xu Rong at all.

The talisman was given to Lu Bu, and he became a meat bun and beat a dog, and he never returned.

Dong Zhuo took off the precious saber from his waist, and said solemnly, "This is a time of life and death, and this task can only be entrusted to you, Xu Rong. If you still have my Grand Master in your eyes, don't shirk it."

With that said, Dong Zhuo glanced back at Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and handed the treasured sword to Xu Rong: "This is the seven-star sword that my grand master loves most. Tomorrow you will guard the city. Cut it up!"

Handing the Seven Star Knife into Xu Rong's hands was tantamount to giving him the right to cut first and play later.

"The final general will live up to the expectations of the Grand Master!" After receiving the Seven Star Saber, Xu Rong's resolute face was extremely determined.

Dong Zhuo nodded, reassuring a lot, and said to the generals behind him: "You must stick to your respective positions, and you must not be lazy. My Grand Master will return soon."

"Follow the order!" Li Jue and the others responded at the same time.

Outside the tent, the Flying Bear Army had assembled. This was the most elite cavalry army under Dong Zhuo's command.Its speed is as fast as flying, and its combat power is as strong as a bear, so it is called "Flying Bear".

Dong Zhuo's obese body climbed onto the horse's back. If the war horse under his crotch was not a Xiliang god, the ordinary war horse would have been crushed by Dong Zhuo long ago.

"Boys, march towards Luoyang with my Grand Master!"

Dong Zhuo roared, pulled the reins of the horse, and rushed out at the head of the horse, followed by five thousand horses galloping wildly.

…………

From Hulaoguan to Luoyang, it is more than two hundred miles away.

Because it was traveling at night, and the area around Gong County was full of mountain roads, it was Yin time (around 3 o'clock) the next day when Dong Zhuo arrived at the city of Luoyang.

"Teacher, the city gate to the east of Luoyang is wide open, and there are no guards." The sentinels who explored the road came back to report.

Dong Zhuo arrived at the city with his cavalry, but there were no lanterns and candles on the top of the city, and it was difficult to see if there were ambushes hiding on the city with only the dim moonlight in the sky.

Dong Zhuo wanted to urge his horse to enter, but Dong Min who was beside him stepped forward to stop Dong Zhuo and tried to dissuade him: "Brother, the gate of Luoyang city is wide open, I'm afraid there may be fraud. It's better to wait until dawn before entering the city."

"Shuying, my mother and Bai'er are both in the city, how can I feel at ease as a brother?"

Dong Zhuo couldn't wait, and rushed directly into the city with his troops.

Unexpectedly, there was no ambush in the city, and there were many traces of fighting swords and dried blood on the ground and walls.

The city was desolate, and the breeze picked up the fallen leaves on the street and danced in the air.

Dong Zhuo went straight to his grand master's mansion, such a loud noise naturally woke up the sleeping old lady and little granddaughter.

With the support of the maidservants, the old lady walked into the hall with her little granddaughter. When she saw Dong Zhuo sitting there, Dong Bai jumped into Dong Zhuo's arms and shouted 'Weng Weng' happily.

The old lady also had a kind face and asked Dong Zhuo, "Zhong Ying, why are you back?"

"The boy misses his mother very much, so he came back specially to take a look." Seeing that his mother and granddaughter were safe, Dong Zhuo was relieved a lot.

"Don't worry about me, old woman. I'm in good health. I don't have to worry about food or clothing. What's more, I have Bai'er by my side to talk with you. You, go get busy with your family and country affairs."
