Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 144 Cut off the beard
After Guan Hai killed Dong Yue, he rode over and joined Xu Huang in fighting Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong took a quick glance in his busy schedule and saw that Dong Yue and Wang Fang had both been killed. Now, only he, Li Su and dozens of soldiers were left in the valley.
Li Su was not sure whether this group of people would show mercy to his men, and he did not dare to gamble with his life at the moment. He forced Li Gui and Zhang Fan to retreat and drove the horses to help Hua Xiong.
The remaining dozens of soldiers were all Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers. They were extremely skilled in martial arts and loyal. Although they were in a desperate situation, no one fled. They fought and retreated, and soon gathered together with Hua Xiong and Li Su. Even so, the soldiers were defeated one by one because they were outnumbered.
Am I, Hua Xiong, going to die here today? Hua Xiong swept away Xu Huang's axe with one sword and tried his best to retreat, but he couldn't escape. Just when he was in despair, he saw a horse galloping towards him from the valley entrance. He was riding a scarlet BMW and wearing dark black armor. Who else could it be but Lu Bu?
At this moment, Lu Bu was like a god in Hua Xiong's eyes. Thinking back to the time in Wangyuan, Lu Bu turned the tide with his own strength. Not only did he save them, but he also killed the rebels. Hua Xiong's desperate eyes lit up, and he squeezed all his strength to fight back.
Xu Huang and Guan Hai looked at Lu Bu who was rushing towards them, and didn't know whether to retreat or continue fighting. While they were hesitating, the sound of a retreat horn came from the hillside.
The Golden Eagle Guards had strict discipline. When the horn sounded, regardless of whether there were any enemy soldiers left to kill, everyone immediately retreated in an orderly manner. Hua Xiong, who had already stepped into the gates of hell, stopped abruptly.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the Golden Eagle Guards retreating like a tide, his face filled with lingering fear. "Where the hell did these troops come from?! Damn..."
I was scared to death...
Lu Bu rode his horse over, looked at the broken corpses and debris on the ground, then looked at Li Su and Hua Xiong who were covered in wounds, and remembered that Zhang Mo had asked him for portraits of the Xiliang generals. Since then, or even before that, she had been planning this ambush. If he had arrived later today, everyone except Li Su would have been buried in Beimang Mountain.
"Fengxian, thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise I would have died here today. Thank you, thank you so much! You scared away so many people by yourself, it's really..."
Hua Xiong suddenly changed the subject, "Hey, do they know you? Otherwise, how could they know how powerful you are and be scared away by you alone?"
Lu Bu said, "How should I know? Perhaps these people have seen me kill someone."
Hua Xiong nodded thoughtfully, "It might be the Black Mountain bandits. I heard that you not only crippled the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, but you also dealt with the Black Mountain bandits."
Lü Bu didn't want to discuss this further. He ordered two soldiers to take away the bodies of Dong Yue and Wang Fang, then turned his horse and said, "Let's go. The lord is waiting for us up ahead."
After Lu Bu and others left, some of the Golden Eagle Guards came back and took away the bodies of their own people on the battlefield.

Dong Zhuo was so frightened by this inexplicable ambush that he dared not go into the mountain again. After Lu Bu sent him out of the mountain, Niu Fu and Duan Wei also came with troops. Dong Zhuo ordered the other passers-by who had entered the mountain before not to look for His Majesty anymore, but to clean up the corpses of the Xiliang army who were ambushed in the valley first. He then took his men to wait on the main road leading to Luoyang from Beimang Mountain, ready to intercept them.
In the evening, Dong Zhuo was having dinner in a temporary tent when Duan Wei, who was in charge of cleaning up the corpses, came in with a piece of cloth picked up from the battlefield.
"Did the Yuan family hire the Black Mountain Bandits to kill me?"
After Dong Zhuo looked at the blood-stained cloth in his hand, his face suddenly turned cold.
"Yuan family?"
Lu Bu, who was having dinner with Dong Zhuo, put down his bowl and chopsticks, was slightly surprised, and then quickly concealed the hint of understanding in his eyes. There was no need to think about it, it must be A Mo's doing.
This girl failed in the assassination, and wanted to create a rift between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family, and use the Yuan family to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu regretted more and more. He really shouldn't have told her about the future. Dong Zhuo already had enough enemies, and now there was a cunning person like Amo against him. He was afraid that Dong Zhuo might not live to see the time when the princes of Guandong rose up in arms.
Lü Bu warned, "My lord, this is suspicious. If it were truly the Yuan family, they would have destroyed such an important letter after reading it. How could they have brought it to the battlefield? Furthermore, my lord has always followed the Yuan family's lead. Why would they want to kill you for no reason?"
Dong Zhuo was still haunted by the ambush that morning. He said coldly, "Perhaps the thief was careless and forgot to destroy the letter."
He now controls two powerful armies, so it is not impossible that the Yuan family is afraid of him. The old man Yuan Wei was cruel and ruthless and killed Dong Zhongying. The Yuan family gathered the general's subordinates, and then took over the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army. In addition, his family has three officials for four generations, so the entire Han Dynasty is under the control of his Yuan family.
Furthermore, how could an ordinary Black Mountain bandit be equipped with such sophisticated weapons? There must be a big family supporting him. If Lu Bu had not rescued him in time during today's ambush, he would have had no chance of escaping.
Dong Zhuo explained the Yuan family's motive for murder, and Lu Bu really couldn't refute it. If it were anyone else, having such a powerful person under his command would definitely be a little wary.
It turns out that he had originally persuaded Dong Zhuo to become the Governor of Bingzhou simply to fight the Southern Xiongnu, not considering that Dong Zhuo commanding two powerful armies would make others even more wary of him. In his dream, Dong Zhuo had very few troops when he entered Luoyang and was very cautious. He later became arrogant after annexing Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army and incorporating the Luoyang army. Now, Dong Zhuo has already revealed his ambitions before even entering Luoyang.
A Mo's plan seems extremely clumsy, but she accurately grasped the principle that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. As long as Dong Zhuo is unwilling to be ordered around by the Yuan family, he will eventually break with the Yuan family. In the dream, the people of the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang were eventually killed by Dong Zhuo as sacrifices. Now, because of this assassination, perhaps the conflict between the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo will break out ahead of time.
Lü Bu advised, "Although my lord has a strong army, he lacks civil officials and has no past friendships with the ministers. If you want to quickly gain a foothold after entering Luoyang, you will still need the support of the Yuan family. This may be a strategy of the Yuan family's political enemies to sow discord. I think it is better to investigate thoroughly."
Dong Zhuo nodded. "What Fengxian said makes sense. We need to investigate thoroughly. But regardless of whether it was done by the Yuan family or not, we still need to be more cautious after entering Luoyang."
Wasn't the general killed by the Yuan family? If he wanted to have the final say in the court, he had to part ways with the Yuan family. Even if the Yuan family didn't do it, he could still blame it on the Yuan family in the end. It was the Yuan family that was unjust first, so Dong Zhongying couldn't be blamed for being unkind.

At the northern foot of Mang Mountain, on the southern bank of the Yellow River, Shangshu Lu Zhi and Min Gong, an official from central Henan, led people to search for a day. Finally, at nightfall, they found the disheveled Liu Bian and Liu Xie. Zhang Rang and others who had held the emperor hostage knew that their death was near, so they bid farewell to the young emperor and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
The bank of the Yellow River was still a long way from Luoyang, and it was already completely dark. The two pampered emperors and princes had walked for another day and night, and were tired, hungry and thirsty. They should have rested there for a night before setting off again, but Lu Zhi was afraid of the long night and more trouble, so he went to a nearby farmer's house to find a cart, and together with Min Gong, escorted the two back to Luoyang overnight.
When the team was halfway there, they met a group of princes and ministers who came to look for people. Among them were Wang Yun, the then Yin of Henan, Si Tu Yang Biao, the captain of the central army Yuan Shao, the captain of the rear army Bao Xin and others. All the ministers cried bitterly and said that they were too late to rescue the emperor. Seeing so many familiar faces, Liu Bian's anxious heart calmed down a little. The group surrounded the two young men and continued to rush to Luoyang.
