Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C367

Amongst the three nations, Li Ru could be said to be the one who understood human nature the best. He had plotted for Dong Zhuo, allowing Dong Zhuo to only use three thousand cavalrymen to control the Luoyang, and then control the entire imperial court to look down upon the world, showing that his ability was definitely not ordinary.

“What can we give him? Or what benefits can move his heart? ” Compared to controlling the imperial government, what other benefits could Yang Lin possibly want? Dong Zhuo shook his head in disbelief and muttered: “Yang Lin’s position is already high enough, if he were to be promoted again, he will only be promoted to Great General.

“Great General is the commander of the entire national army, how can it be conferred on him? Furthermore, the Great General is a court courtier, so we must definitely stay in the Luoyang and not seal it for him. ” Li Ru shook his head and said with a smile: “How about this, I’ll go to Yang Lin’s camp right away and listen to his plans, then we’ll make a decision.”

In the camp of the cavalry of Youzhou outside the Luoyang city, Yang Lin was eating with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the other soldiers of the Union State. According to Yang Lin’s arrangement, all of the soldiers, regardless of their rank or food, would sit on the field and drink.

Just then, the guards of the camp reported that Sima, the Lord Sikong’s and Liang Zhou’s Mu Dong Zhuo’s, wished to see the hussar general. Hearing that, Yang Lin immediately understood the reason for Li Ru’s visit. However, he was more interested in running away from this famous strategist from the three kingdoms.

When Li Ru saw that Yang Lin was drinking with a group of soldiers, he couldn’t help but be shocked. In this strictly hierarchical society, the noblemen did not care about these lowly soldiers, much less eat at the same table with them.

Yang Lin finished his wine in one gulp and accompanied to the tent. Using the chance to exchange pleasantries, Yang Lin seriously sized up Li Ru. Although he was a strategist, he had a bit of valiance behind his back. His pair of big eyes were brimming with vigor.

“hussar general has been working hard to protect you, your loyalty and bravery is commendable. Now that the Emperor had returned to the palace and pardoned the world, peace was restored to the Luoyang and all the ministers were given their places. Lord Sikong asked me to come here and ask you, what are your plans, hussar general? ” With the greetings finished, Li Ru went straight to the point.

Yang Lin did not plan to stay in the Luoyang for too long, but even if he were to leave, it was not as if he could simply withdraw his troops! He had to gain something from this trip to the Luoyang. If they were to leave this easily, then everyone in the world would look down on Yang Lin and think that he was not worthy of attention. Since then, those powers who used to respect Yang Lin’s fame would also think of him.

“I have come under the Great General’s orders. Although the Son of Heaven has returned to the palace, there are still traitors in the palace. How can I leave without worry?” Yang Lin’s face showed worry, he tried his best to sound serious as he said, “Lord Dong Zhuo only has 3000 cavalry, I’m afraid he isn’t a match for those traitors!”

“hussar general, don’t worry, those traitors are just some rascals, they can’t create any big waves.” Hearing Yang Lin’s words, Li Ru knew that Yang Lin was not prepared to become Dong Zhuo’s enemy, and could not help but be happy, and then said: “I heard that black bandit from the Five Elements Mountain were robbing from all over, and had become a big threat to the imperial government!”

Yang Lin immediately understood that Dong Zhuo was definitely going to use the excuse of destroying the black bandit and ask him to leave the Luoyang. Since that was the case, although he had protected his face and could openly withdraw his troops, he had come all the way to the Luoyang to give them some benefits.

“The Five Elements Mountain is connected to the canyon, the road is difficult and dangerous, the troops cannot move. “The black bandit is several tens of small fries, and is located deep in the mountains. They take up all the benefits in this area, so it would be inappropriate to annihilate them …” As Yang Lin spoke, he thought to himself, “If he wants to completely destroy black bandit, it probably won’t be possible for him to do so in a single day.”

“It’s precisely because of this that Lord Sikong is so worried about black bandit.” Li Ru was a clever man, he knew that Yang Lin had conditions to fulfil, hence he said straightforwardly: “In order to eliminate black bandit, Lord Sikong must provide you with all means of convenience.”

Yang Lin was overjoyed, and immediately calculated in his heart. If there were too few requests, he would lose out. But if there were too many requests, he was afraid that if Dong Zhuo didn’t agree to them, he would lose face. “He finally got an idea.” Army of Montenegro has repeatedly invaded the Jizhou’s Zhongshan, Chang Shan, Zhao Country, Giant Deer, and other places. If the taiwai of these few counties cooperate fully, annihilating the Black Mountain Country would be just around the corner. ”

Back then, when Grand General Ho Jin came to find Yang Lin, Yang Lin had only asked He Jin to appoint him as Jizhou, mainly to make it easier for him to gather fodder in these two provinces. The Regional Commandant was just a subordinate officer of the Prefecture Overseer and Prefecture Overseer. He had no actual authority and would not attract the attention of others. If they were allowed to serve as assassins or prefecture overseers, then there would be suspicions of circumcision. It would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Minister of the Court.

Even now, Yang Lin could not ask Dong Zhuo to appoint his subordinates as assassins or prefectures so that they would not attract the attention of the Minister of the Court. Actually, Yang Lin knew that he was extremely generous to his title. The historical Dong Zhuo, in order to curry favor with Guan Dong Si, had once given out dozens of taiwai s, thorns, and prefectures in one go.

“taiwai from these few counties allowed black bandit to wreak havoc, and indeed, they are not qualified to assume the duties of a taiwai.” When Li Ru heard that Yang Lin only wanted the positions of taiwai s in these few counties, that was beyond his expectations. He immediately asked: “Who does hussar general think is qualified?”

Yang Lin did not expect Li Ru to agree so quickly, and immediately realized that his requirements were too low. “However, since he had already said it, he could only accept it.” Tian Feng, Mu Lun, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang are all famous people today, with them in the six counties, the black bandit can see the sun and destroy the sky. ”

On the afternoon of the same day that Young Emperor Liu Bian returned to the palace, the cavalry general who had received orders from He Jin to recruit troops from the Taishan County, Bao Xin, returned to the Luoyang. When he heard that Dong Zhuo had forcefully taken over the carriage and controlled the imperial government, he immediately went into the city alone and found Yuan Shao at the Si Li Courtyard.

“Dong Zhuo is ruthless and merciless, he is heartless, but now that he has led the strong troops and control over the imperial government, he has ulterior motives. If he didn’t make his plans now, he would definitely be in control. We should take advantage of the fact that he has just arrived, with only a few soldiers and exhausted soldiers, and attack during the night, capturing Dong Zhuo alive to eliminate him for his country. ”

“Although Dong Zhuo is a young soldier, they are all elite soldiers. Furthermore, he has the Son of Heaven with him, what can we do to him?” Yuan Shao waved his hands and frowned in frustration. Ever since Dong Zhuo snatched the emperor, Yuan Shao’s glorious days in Luoyang ended. The two brothers had already attacked the palace once, so why would they have to do it again?

“No matter how good the soldiers under his command are, they are only worth 3,000 soldiers. There are so many soldiers outside the city, do you think we should be afraid of them?” It is because he has the Son of Heaven in his hands that we should save him! ” Bao Xin walked in front of Yuan Shao and said anxiously.

“What’s the use of having more soldiers? Those northern troop and West Garden Army generals have always only recognized Imperial edict s, how could they be willing to listen to our orders? Furthermore, most of them are attendants of the Flaming Devil Flames, and I dare say that in these three days, they have already pledged their allegiance to Dong Zhuo. ”

Yuan Shao was extremely clear about these Northern Army and West Garden Army Generals, he was once a general himself. These Scholar and famous sects were all vested interests of the real world’s regime. Whoever had the authority to listen to them, they would not follow Yuan Shao, who was in the midst of misfortune.

“Hussar General Yang Lin’s forces should be strong enough, but facing the brutal Dong Zhuo, he did not do anything. Just this afternoon, Dong Zhuo had given him some benefits, and the mighty hussar general had brought his army to Hanoi County to eliminate Army of Montenegro. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not dare to attack, Bao Xin could not help but be disappointed. Although the West Garden Army Generals did not have a good opinion, as Yuan Huo’s trusted guards, Feng Fang and Chunyu Qiong’s two battalions, along with Yuan Shu’s Hu Ben Guards and Yuan Shao’s Luoyang Guard, were more than enough to attack Dong Zhuo’s three thousand riders. It’s not that Yuan Shao can’t do it, it’s that he doesn’t dare to do it. Bao Xin was furious, he immediately returned outside the city, and brought his team back to Taishan County during the night.

For days, the weather in the Luoyang was gloomy and the autumn rain continued to fall. The people of Luoyang also felt heavy in their hearts, they were worried as they looked at the soldiers running down the street. No one knew when the swords and spears of those soldiers would reach their bodies.

“Damn that Guo Si, where did he run off to?” Fan Chou stood on the West Gate, casually looking into the distance, swearing. As for his soldiers, they were patrolling the city wall. Whether intentionally or not, they raised their heads to look at the wilderness in the west, as if they were anticipating something.

Once Dong Zhuo entered the Luoyang, he immediately ordered his troops to take control of the west gate, sending the guards and soldiers of the west gate to another city gate. As a military general, he was well aware of the importance of the city gates. Even though he was a small soldier, he still had control of the palace and the west gate.

“Lord Commander, our reinforcements are here.”

Suddenly, a patrolling soldier yelled, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. Seeing the two thousand cavalrymen rushing over, Fan Chou couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The soldiers on the wall immediately cheered loudly, to the point where half of the citizens of Luoyang City could hear them.

“Haha …” You dog, why did you only just arrive … Lord Sikong will have to wait anxiously and carefully peel your skin! ” Fan Chou walked down the city wall and ordered the soldiers to open the city gates, he immediately rushed out of the city and laughed loudly, then came to the city gate to welcome Guo Si and the other riders.

“Hehe …” We didn’t dare to waste even a second … It’s not too late to be in a hurry, right? ” Guo Si also laughed loudly as he followed Fan Chou into the city, and then towards the city. As they walked, they used voices that everyone could hear to say: “We were already fast enough, that brat Li Que would probably be there by the day after tomorrow. Wang Fang, Hua Xiong, Li Meng, Hu Zhen, Duan Liu Ye and the others are even slower.

“These damn bastards, they have delayed Lord Sikong’s good fortune, Lord Sikong will definitely spank them.” Fan Chou smiled mysteriously before suddenly lowering his voice and saying softly: “It’s not a war, isn’t Master Sima making us happy?”

“Hehe …” Master Sima is not only making us happy, he is making the people of the world happy! ” Guo Si laughed, and said softly: “But this is good too, I find that I can act quite well. “If I stop being a soldier and rush into a show tomorrow, I’ll definitely be a good hand.”

“Another batch of West Cold Cavalry have come!”

This news seemed to have grown wings and instantly spread across the entire Luoyang. For so many years, in the army of the Under Heaven Alliance, only the cavalry of Youzhou and the cavalry had been in a state of war, and their fame had spread far and wide.
