Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 142 Dong Zhuo's Life-saving Straw

After Dong Zhuo listened to Li Jue's words, his face immediately turned pale.

Obviously, he has also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Of course, what Dong Zhuo and Li Jue were thinking at the moment was more complicated than the actual situation.

They all know that Liu Ce in Jizhou has no less than [-] soldiers in armor.

Youzhou Liu Yu is his eldest brother, which means that most of Hebei has become the world of their two brothers.

The soldiers in these two states are conservatively estimated to be 20, right?

Dong Zhuo received information before crossing the river that Huang Zhong brought 3 soldiers to attack Hanoi County.

How many people did Liu Ce bring with him when he came to the scene in person?
On the surface, he only brought 1000 people here, but who knows if there are any ambushes around him?
Then who knows whether his army is quietly surrounding him at this time?
Both Dong Zhuo and Li Jue thought of this aspect, which is why they seemed so panicked at this moment.

"Li Jue, what should we do now? Are we doomed? Why don't we go back to Liangzhou? If we can't enter the capital, we can just go to Liangzhou and become a local emperor!"

Li Jue had already calmed down at this time, he looked back slowly, and then spoke.

"Father-in-law, why don't we ask Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe if there is any conspiracy?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned around excitedly to say hello.

"Yes, yes, let Jia Xu come over! Tell Jia Xu to come and talk!"

Not long after Dong Zhuo gave the order, Jia Xu rode his horse and slowly came to the two of them.

Li Jue first briefly explained the current situation, and then Dong Zhuo asked Jia Xu to start making up his mind.

Jia Xu rolled her eyes left and right, then turned her head to look in the direction of Xiao Pingjin.

"General, have you forgotten what we are here for?"

Dong Zhuo was a little confused by the question!

Aren’t they just coming to Luoyang to snatch the emperor?
What's the matter, is Jia Xu confused?

Dong Zhuo didn't understand Jia Xu's words, but Li Jue slowly understood the meaning of his words.

"Well, great plan! Great plan, Mr. Wen He really hit the nail on the head, why did I forget it!"

The more Li Jue talked, the happier he became, and his face was about to burst into laughter.

Dong Zhuo didn't understand what he was laughing at, so he immediately coughed hard.

"Can you just talk straight? You two don't play charades with me here! The enemy is now, be careful of military law!"

Li Jue was yelled at by Dong Zhuo, and immediately put away his smiling face, and then hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

"Yes, my son-in-law knows his mistake."

Li Jue quickly apologized, and then explained Jia Xu's meaning in detail.

Just now Jia Xu asked Dong Zhuo if he had forgotten the purpose of his visit.

How could everyone forget this matter?

They came here to find the emperor.

Since you are here to find the emperor, why are you wasting time with Liu Ce?
Just let an army hold Liu Ce, and then concentrate the superior forces to fight for the emperor with all their strength.

Once the emperor falls into their hands, all difficulties will be easily solved.

After listening to Li Jue's explanation, Dong Zhuo finally understood.

Their last straw is the emperor!

But a new question arises, where is the emperor?
"Steal the emperor? Where is the emperor? Who of you knows?"

Dong Zhuo stared at Li Jue and Jia Xu with an angry face and asked.

Li Jue looked embarrassed, but Jia Xu clasped his fists and said slowly.

"Just now, my subordinate ordered someone to quietly capture a few court soldiers, and I learned from them that Lu Zhi and the others seemed to be going to rescue Xiaopingjin."

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and then he nodded with joy.

"Okay! Very good, then quickly send troops to Xiaopingjin and snatch the emperor!"

At this time, Jia Xu clasped her fists again and said.

"My lord, please order Xu Rong and Hua Xiong to hold Liu Ce here and buy time for our army."

After hearing this, Li Jue nodded slowly and said.

"Xu Rong is scheming, and Hua Xiong is the champion of the three armies. It is indeed more suitable to stay behind."

Dong Zhuo nodded vigorously after hearing this, then turned around on his horse and shouted loudly.

"Xu Rong and Hua Xiong led 8000 people to stay to contain the enemy, and the others followed my general to Xiaopingjin!"

Everyone clasped their fists and agreed, and then Dong Zhuo's army divided into two groups and began to move.

At the same time, Liu Ce was talking with Lu Zhi and Mingong about rescuing the emperor.

"General Liu, it's not too late! Before Dong Zhuo reacts, we must go to Xiaopingjin to rescue him as soon as possible!"

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ce sincerely, his eyes full of expectation.

At this time, Min Gong also clasped his fists and said after bandaging the wound.

"The general can lead the army to rescue him, the last general will lead the army here to entangle with that thief Dong!"

After hearing this, Liu Ce shook his head slowly and said.

"It's better for me to bring people here to contain the Xiliang army. It is more appropriate for Master Lu and General Min to lead troops to Xiaopingjin to rescue him!"

Lu Zhi and Min Gong were taken aback when they heard this. They never expected that Liu Ce would voluntarily give up such a great contribution to saving Jia.

"General Liu, you..."

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ce in surprise.

Liu Ce said with a wry smile.

"It's not that I look down on the two adults, it's really that no one can stop the Xiliang cavalry except Liu!"

Lu Zhi and Min Gong glanced at each other when they heard this, and then a trace of guilt appeared on their faces.

Yes, if Liu Ce hadn't made a timely move just now, they might have been wiped out by Dong Zhuo at this moment.

"Brother, the army in the west has moved! They are retreating quickly!"

Liu Ce frowned tightly after hearing this.

"Withdrawn? This shouldn't be..."

With that said, Liu Ce turned to look at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi is a veteran on the battlefield, and he saw through Dong Zhuo's and others' schemes at a glance.

"They are advancing by retreating. If the old man's calculations are correct, they must have other plans..."

Ming Gong trembled when he heard this.

"Could it be... Your Majesty!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, Liu Ce gave orders loudly.

"Guan Yu! I order you to take 500 people with General Lu to Xiaopingjin to rescue him! Others, follow me!"

Guan Yu frowned tightly after hearing this.

He knew that Liu Ce had more than 900 people now, if he was given [-], there would be very few people around Liu Ce!

So, Guan Yu clasped his fists heavily and said in a cold voice.

"Brother, 200 people are enough!"

After saying this, Guan Yu turned around and left quickly.

Liu Ce didn't have time to argue with him at this time, so he could only let Guan Yu love him.

However, Lu Zhi and Min Gong's faces were full of embarrassment.

200 people?
What are these people enough for?
Even with the 200 people under their command, there are only 400 people!
There are tens of thousands of people under Dong Zhuo's command, and it seems that there is no possibility of winning this battle!

"You can't win a fight. Now you can only compete with whoever is faster! Master Min, you let all the infantry stay to fight with General Liu, and we will only take the cavalry."

After hearing this, Ming Gong immediately nodded in agreement, and then Lu Zhi and Ming Gong led [-] cavalry and followed Guan Yu to Xiaopingjin to kill.

At the same time, Niu Fu led five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry and rushed towards Xiaopingjin at high speed!

Niu Fu brandished the spear in his hand, shouting loudly to the soldiers beside him from time to time.

"Whoever captures the emperor alive will reward ten thousand gold and become a general! Go!"
