I use martial arts to train soldiers in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123 The plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves
Deng Wu hurriedly left the palace, and all the civil and military officials also dispersed.Finally, Dong Zhuo also left with Cai Yang and Hua Xiong, leaving Empress Dowager He and the young Liu Bian alone in the empty hall of Weiyang Palace.

Why did Deng Wu leave the palace in a hurry?It was because the soldier who came in said in Deng Wu's ear: "Lord! The military advisor asked you to go back quickly and report something important!"

Deng Wu hurried back to the barracks in the north of the city, found Jia Xu and asked about the situation.

"Wenhe, what happened, why did you ask me to come back quickly?"

"My lord! I just got reliable information that the Xiliang Army visited many generals and schools of the Luoyang Army last night, and many of them have defected to the Xiliang Army."

"What? While they were discussing the abolition of Li Li in the court, they were wooing the defenders of Luoyang in private. Dong Zhuo also killed the cavalry general He Miao in public. This Dong Zhuo was very good at calculating!"

"That's right! Most of the Luoyang defenders have already been won over by them." Jia Xu also said with a wry smile, what a mistake!

"Has anyone joined them?" Deng Wu said while rubbing his forehead.

"What we know so far is: the four guard captains of the original South Gate and West Gate, and the assistant captain of the West Garden ~ Zhao Rong and others."

Deng Wu silently calculated in his heart, how many soldiers and horses do these people control?
The four captains of the city gate each lead 2000 troops, so four of them are 8000 troops.The Xiyuan school lieutenant, because it was established by Han Lingdi Liu Hong directly under the soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses brought by each school lieutenant are different.

For example, Duan Gui, Captain of the Military Academy, because he was a confidant of Emperor Han Ling and had to command the other seven captains, so he led the most soldiers and horses, a full 5000 people.

Yuan Shao, Lieutenant of the Chinese Army, is the second person in the West Garden.The soldiers and horses he led were only 8000 people.

Tun cavalry school captain Bao Hong led three thousand cavalry.

Cao Cao, Lieutenant of Dianjun, led a mixed army of five thousand soldiers.

Xia Mou, the captain of Zuo Xiao, led three thousand archers.

Chunyu Qiong, the captain of the right school, led five thousand sword and shield soldiers.

Auxiliary Army Zuo Xiaowei~Zhao Rong and Auxiliary Army Right Xiaowei~Feng Fang, each commanding [-] logistics troops.

The soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo recruited amounted to only tens of thousands of horses.Deng Wu incorporated Duan Gui and Xia Mou's soldiers and horses. Although they lost a lot in several battles in Luoyang, they still had more than 1 troops.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo wants to annex Luoyang's soldiers and horses! Wenhe, see how many people we can win over?" Deng Wu was also jealous of Luoyang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and asked Jia Xu.

"The other leading generals and captains, and the Xiliang Army have already sent people to contact them. There is not much hope for us to send people to contact them again. Unless we know clearly what benefits the Xiliang Army has promised them .We lure them with greater interests, and we may incite them to turn against us.

Others such as: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bao Hong, and Chunyu Qiong are four people from where the Xiliang Army has hit a wall. It is worthwhile for us to send someone to win over and make contact.But these four people, headed by Yuan Shao, all gathered together, obviously forming a group. "

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Chunyu Qiong was Yuan Shao's hardcore.When fighting with Cao Cao, he guarded Wuchao.And Bao Hong is a good friend of Cao Cao. Cao Cao's rise in the early stage was due to his support. Even Cao Cao's stability in Yanzhou was inseparable from her full support.

Just when Deng Wu was about to say something more, a report came from outside the tent, interrupting what Deng Wu wanted to say.

"Report!!!"

"Come in!"

After the messenger came in, he knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said to Deng Wu:

"My lord, there is someone outside who claims to be an old acquaintance of the lord, and is seeking to see him outside the camp."

"Oh," Deng Wu and Jia Xu looked at each other, and then said to the messenger, "please come in."

"like!"

After a while, an old acquaintance, the lieutenant general Lu Zhi, came in outside the tent.

After Lu Zhi came in, he didn't talk nonsense and said directly to Deng Wu: "Zhonglang General Lu Zhi, pay your respects to Lord Zhou Mu."

Deng Wu had already stood up when Lu Zhi came in, and when he saw Lu Zhi coming in, he bowed. Deng Wu trotted over, helped Lu Zhi up and said in a hurry: "No way, no way! Please get up, old general, old man!" The general came to visit in broad daylight, I don't know why?"

Just after the morning court, Lu Zhi came to Deng Wu's military camp without stopping.

"Lord Zhou Mu, please, for the sake of His Majesty's youth and us old fellows, save His Majesty, get rid of Dong Zhuo, and return this great man to a bright future."

"This..., the old general is telling the truth, Dong Zhuo bought many generals and schools in Luoyang last night. This morning, Dong Zhuo killed General Cheqi with a sword. Now most of the Luoyang army has fallen into Dong Zhuo's control. He is now I have twice as many troops as mine. I also want to get rid of Dong Zhuo and rectify the imperial court, but I am really powerless."

"As long as Lord Zhou Mu is willing to drive away Dong Zhuo, I am willing to go and convince Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the soldiers loyal to the Han Dynasty. We will agree on a time and raise troops to drive out Dong Zhuo at the same time."

Deng Wu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and saw him nodding slightly.So, Deng Wu said sincerely to Lu Zhi: "Okay! For the sake of the great man's world, and for the safety of the people in the world. I agree, old general, but go to contact the soldiers who are loyal to the great man. In order to prevent the night from having long dreams, I will use Tonight It's an agreement. Let's attack the Xiliang army together, get rid of Dong Zhuo, and return the great Han to a bright future."

"Okay! I'll contact them right now. Both Cheng and Bu will raise troops at midnight to drive out Dong Zhuo." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

After Lu Zhi left, Deng Wu turned to Jia Xu and asked, "How sure is Wen He?"

"Hehe, there is not even a single layer."

"Then why do we...why agree to them, and what benefits can we get from it?"

"Lu Zhi went to contact those soldiers loyal to the Han Dynasty. My lord will take the opportunity to seize their military power. Only in this way can our troops compete with Dong Zhuo."

"This..., isn't it good!"

"Lord, our direct troops are less than 15. If Dong Zhuo were to completely annex Luoyang's troops, his strength would reach as many as 35. Besides, Lu Zhi came to visit the lord blatantly in broad daylight. There is no cover-up. This oath will definitely alert the Xiliang army. Lord, please think twice!" Jia Xu tried hard to persuade.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Deng Wu was suddenly shocked.Yes, Lu Zhi came to visit him in broad daylight, so he would not be able to escape the detection of Xiliang Army scouts.If he really wanted to unite the soldiers loyal to the Han Dynasty and drive out Dong Zhuo, he could just send a close soldier to discuss it.And he had only one purpose in doing this, which was to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf.

Deng Wu's complexion was a bit ugly, and he was tricked again. This was still a blatant conspiracy.If Lu Zhi is unintentional, it's okay, it means that he is anxious for justice, still has the Han family in his heart, and still misses his old relationship with Deng Wu.If it was intentional, then...

To the civil and military officials in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was ambitious and harbored evil intentions.However, Deng Wu is not a good person either.Observe; what Deng Wu has done since entering Luoyang.Sending troops to attack the north gate of Luoyang, garrisoning the palace privately, and imprisoning the Queen Mother and Young Emperor. Which of these is not a crime of treason?Deng Wu and Dong Zhuo are not good things to the civil and military officials in Luoyang?

If everything goes well, it will be midnight tonight.When Deng Wu raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, the civil and military officials in Luoyang would definitely stand on the sidelines to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
