Chapter 618: Tiaohu Lishan

The commander returned to Luoyang and immediately went to meet Dong Zhuo, telling Dong Zhuo the whole story of the matter.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was extremely angry and kicked the commander to the ground. Just as he was about to take further action to kill the commander, Li Ru, who was standing beside him, grabbed him and said, "Tai Shi, I'm afraid that Commander Zhang will be blamed for this matter. If his subordinates guessed well, the archer should be the Sunset Legion under the command of the right general Sunset Legion. With the combat effectiveness of the Sunset Legion, it is already rare for Commander Zhang to lead most of the troops back to Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo was a little angry and snorted coldly, "What do you mean is that if he loses a battle, I will still have to reward him?"

Li Ru smiled casually and said, "The Grand Tutor is serious. His subordinates just think that this is the time when the Grand Tutor is employed. Although Commander Zhang made a mistake at this time, he can spare his life because he is still loyal to the Grand Tutor."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately understood Li Ru's intention. He turned to look at the commander Zhang and said, "Since Wenyou pleads for you, I will spare you your life. I hope you can seize the opportunity and atone for your sins. If such a situation occurs again in the future, I will take the head of your neck."

Commander Zhang was busy, and then Dong Zhuo rushed back.

Li Ru frowned at this time and said, "Tai Shi, I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome. Since that cavalry is the Sunset Legion of Baiyun City, the army sneaking to the west of Luoyang City should also be owned by Baiyun City. According to the subordinates, Sunshine's command can be said to have many soldiers and generals, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Chen Gong and others are also great talents in the world. I'm afraid that this army will sneak into Luoyang City, which is a bit strange!"

Dong Zhuo's understanding of Sunshine is no worse than that of Li Ru. He and Sunshine were in the same camp as Sunshine in the rebellion of Xiliang before. Although he had not experienced the several wars personally, he heard a lot from others. Dong Zhuo also knew about this Sunset Legion.

When Li Ru said this, Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "Do we hope to convince Sunshine to join us?"

Li Ru did not comment and just said lightly: "This possibility is not great. But it cannot be said that it is impossible. Sunshine is an Yiren, and Yiren values ​​profit. As long as we give enough benefits, it should not be difficult to make Sunshine turn against each other. But the key is that Yiren also has no faith. It can be said that he can do something about going back on his word. How to decide depends on you, the Grand Tutor!"

Dong Zhuo fell into deep thought. At this moment, a guard suddenly said outside: "Report to the Grand Master! There is an emergency military situation in front of you!"

"Come on the way quickly!" Dong Zhuo said with his head raised.

The guard immediately came in and said, "Tai Shi, I just received a pigeon under Commander Zhang. The letter said that they had discovered that the number of enemy troops infiltrated the west of Luoyang was about 200,000, but the specific strength was not very clear."

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other, and Li Ru immediately asked, "I wonder if the letter states who is the other party's commander?"

The guard said, "No!"

Li Ru waved his hand and let the guard go down.

Li Ru's expression improved a little at this time and said, "Tai Shi. If the other side only has 200,000 troops, we can still fight."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "There is no need to worry about the 200,000 troops. Even if the other party is an army composed of eighth-level soldiers, we are not vegetarians. Wenyou, tell me, how can we arrange the most appropriate way?"

Li Ru said: "The location where the Baiyun City army appeared is only more than 500 kilometers away from Luoyang. If it is an infantry, it will take two days to march. The time to go plus the battle time will take five days, while the cavalry only takes one day to travel back and forth. Therefore, the subordinates think that it is best for us to send cavalry, but we may encounter the opponent's Sunset Legion here, so it is best to bring some heavy shield soldiers. But these heavy shield soldiers also need to be equipped with war horses. When war comes, they can dismount and fight."

Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed to Li Ru's opinion. The two immediately began to plan how to wipe out the enemy troops that had infiltrated their own internal forces.

...

Although Yang Tian stayed on a mountain outside Luoyang City, he did not relax his control over Luoyang City. He sent eight people with invisibility skills transferred from Fengyun Sect, hidden outside the four gates of Luoyang City, staring at the movements in Luoyang City.

Before, Commander Zhang led an army of 100,000 to set off from Ximen and rushed to Chang'an. Yang Tian knew it clearly. Even the news Sun Miao received was transmitted by Yang Tian. A few hours later, Commander Zhang led more than 70,000 troops back from Ximen in a mess. He saw it and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Originally, Yang Tian thought Dong Zhuo would react before dark, but he was disappointed. Yang Tian waited until late at night and did not receive any news, so he had to set up a tent to rest.

However, Yang Tian had not rested for a long time and was awakened by the sound of a snow pigeon flying into the camp. He opened the letter and saw that it was indeed sent by a disciple of Fengyun Sect hiding at the west gate of Luoyang City. The letter said that nearly 400,000 troops in Luoyang City were coming out from the west gate and heading towards Chang'an. Judging from the equipment worn by these people, there should be 300,000 of them all seventh or eighth-level elite corps, and they were all close cavalry.

When Yang Tianyi saw this news, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that Dong Zhuo could not help it! With the information he had obtained before, there were only 300,000 elite troops in Luoyang City. It seemed that he had all been cheated out at once.

However, Yang Tian did not act immediately, but continued to wait here, but the sleepiness in his eyes had disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was a strong fighting spirit.

It was almost dawn that Yang Tian received a pigeon again, which was sent by Sun Miao. After seeing the contents inside, Yang Tian immediately stood up and summoned the golden eagle, rode on it and flew straight towards Luoyang City.

When Yang Tian approached the wall of Luoyang City, he deliberately found a place with weak defense and then quickly lifted the golden eagle, hoping that when he sneaked into Luoyang City, he could hide the defenders on the wall of Luoyang City. This would also win more time for himself.

However, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, how could Luoyang City be so easily invaded? The moment he just crossed the city wall, fires immediately lit up in hundreds of places on the entire city wall! Suddenly, the entire city wall became boiling, and at the same time, a group of Han imperial guards in the imperial city were also taking action.
