Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Chapter 314: Tell the story based on strength

It is impossible for a living person to die from holding urine. There is a way, but Jia Xu thought of it but did not dare to say it, and other people did not even dare to think about it, or no one would think in that direction at all, except Zhang Mo, a modern person who has not been poisoned by the Confucian belief in the divine right of kings.

Even Lu Bu, who had witnessed Dong Zhuo poisoning the young emperor and had learned from A Mo that Liu Xie would eventually be deposed by Cao Pi, did not dare to think in that direction.

"Since taking over might be a hassle, and we can't let anyone else snatch it away, then let's ruin it! If Emperor Ling's bloodline is cut off, the world will be in complete chaos. Someone might declare themselves emperor, or someone might look for a puppet among the royal family to establish another. Since he can find a puppet, I can find one too, and you can find one too. Too many emperors will be worthless. Then, who will listen to me or me? Without orthodoxy, no one can command anyone else. Everything will be based on strength."

Although the young man was innocent, Zhang Mo had been prepared to have his hands stained with innocent blood since he decided to fight for the world. It was all because he was born into an imperial family by mistake and was pushed to the throne by Dong Zhuo.

"Everything depends on strength!" Lu Bu whispered this sentence, a smile appeared on his lips, and his arms hugged her tighter. She was indeed the only one in the world who understood and knew him the best!

Screw the emperor and his ministers, the family background and status, if you don't obey, then fight to obey, whoever has the stronger fist has the final say! Didn't the Han Dynasty also seize the world from the Qin family?!

"But... who should be asked to do this, and how to do it without leaving any traces and leaving any handles? You need to think carefully about this. You and I only need to know about this matter. You can't even tell Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other people you trust the most." Zhang Mo explained.

"I see!"

In this era, killing the emperor is a more heinous act than killing one's father and mother. It is not a question of trust or not, but as a lord, Lu Bu must maintain a good image in front of his subjects.

"If Wenhe and the others ask, just say you're going to welcome the emperor. Send more troops to Hedong County and have Gao Shun prepare. I bet Cao Mengde will definitely go and rob if he gets the news. Add in Yuan Shao, Li Su, and the others, and it'll be chaos over there. Have Ah Fei send another Flying Eagle Squadron to Hongnong County and report back at any time."

"Yeah! I know. You make the decision and I'll do it. Now go to sleep!"

After getting the idea, Lu Bu felt relieved. As for how to kill a young man who had escaped and had no one to protect him, it was basically not difficult. At most, he could provoke a war between several factions. It was normal for the emperor to be accidentally killed by stray arrows in the war.

…………

Hanoi County.

As the sky was getting light, Cao's army, which had been chased all night, was about to stop and take a break, but they saw a horseman coming at them on the distant post road. It was the scout left behind by Yu Jin.

"Report——"

Before the scout could even rush over, he waved and shouted from his horse, "General, the enemy cavalry is catching up again, less than ten miles away."

"Damn it! Don't these people need a break?"

Yu Jin was usually a very serious person and didn't talk much, but after running on and off for two days and two nights, he was extremely tired and felt a little irritable.

They fled all the way from Yewang County. The more than 10,000 people at the back were entangled by Qu Yi, but a cavalry from the other side came out of nowhere and chased them relentlessly. They were all cavalry, and it would have been easy for them to get rid of the other side if they had taken the lead. However, the other side's horses seemed to have particularly good legs, and they caught up with them in just one day and one night. Yu Jin left some people to resist, but they were caught up again after just passing Huai County.

They had almost no rest for these two days and two nights. When the war horses could not run anymore, they dismounted and led them for a walk. When they could not walk anymore, they got on the horses again. Even if they took a rest occasionally, they could not resist the fatigue.

It's not that they haven't thought about hiding in the city, but since Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, many of the counties that had originally surrendered have turned to Lu Bu's side. After Cao Cao left Huai County and prepared to withdraw his troops, Huai County no longer opened the city gates to Cao's army.

After such a long chase, not only Cao's army was tired, but the pursuing Golden Eagle Guards were also a little tired. However, thanks to the horseshoes, the war horses ran more steadily and they chased faster.

A hundred steps away, Taishi Ci slowly stopped his mount and sent someone up to question him.

"General Yu, my general asked, do you want to rest for a while or start fighting immediately?"

Yu Jin stood on a relatively high place and watched from afar. The enemy had only more than a thousand cavalry, while he had three thousand cavalry. In fact, he was not completely without a chance of winning. However, these three thousand cavalry were all selected strong men. The lord's order was to bring them back to Yanzhou safely, so he fled all the way, otherwise he would have stopped fighting on the first day.

Since he couldn't escape, Yu Jin didn't want to run away anymore. The other side didn't seem to want to fight immediately. He thought about it and sent someone to reply, asking them to rest for half a day before fighting again.

So, both sides rested in place, some feeding their horses and some chewing their rations. When the sun rose to the zenith, the cavalry on both sides started moving.

Henei County is backed by the Taihang Mountains and faces the Yellow River in front. It is not far from the Yellow River and the terrain is flat and open, which is suitable for cavalry combat.

Yu Jin cherished his own troops and horses and did not want to engage in a head-on confrontation. As his horse galloped, he waved his military flag, and the originally neat cavalry formation of Cao's army split into two groups, surrounding the Golden Eagle Guards on both sides.

Because of the balance of the high-bridge saddle and stirrups, the Golden Eagle Guards freed their hands the moment they touched the enemy. The sabers, which were bright enough to serve as mirrors, danced with a whirring sound, beheading the Cao army in their tracks. A bloody mist filled the air. As soon as they touched the enemy, hundreds of Cao's knights were beheaded.

In addition to allowing knights to free their hands during combat, the Takahashi saddle and stirrups also play a great role in maintaining the soldiers' physical strength while chasing the enemy. Without a saddle and stirrups, soldiers can only rely on squeezing their legs tightly around the horse's belly to maintain balance, which is extremely physically demanding.

Therefore, although both sides were in a hurry, the Golden Eagle Guard soldiers actually maintained their physical strength better. The reason why Taishi Ci asked whether they should rest before fighting again was mainly to let the horses rest.

The battle had just begun when Yu Jin began to think of retreating. Although his knights were strong soldiers, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant compared to the Bingzhou army.

Not to mention the other side's unusually sharp sabers, just talking about riding skills, how many years did the other cavalry train, and how many years did we have to train? Even if you are physically strong, if you are not as good as the other side, you will not be able to play any advantage on horseback.

After realizing that he had absolutely no chance of winning, Yu Jin immediately made a decision. He left two thousand cavalrymen in the middle to entangle the enemy, and let those in the rear and the periphery retreat first, allowing as many as could escape.

However, the reason why Taishi Ci asked whether to rest was that he wanted the horses to rest so that it would be easier to chase. The two thousand knights left by Yu Jin were killed and fled in just a short while. Taishi Ci left one thousand people to chase and kill the surrendered knights, and he took five hundred people to continue the pursuit.

The two sides, one fleeing and the other chasing, ran for more than twenty miles and arrived at the Yellow River. It was already dusk. Yu Jin looked at the billowing smoke and dust behind him and couldn't help cursing again.

"Lin Jin, you lead 500 people to resist first, and the others hurry to cross the river."

The reason why Yu Jin fled to the Yellow River was that he wanted to cross the river and leave. A ferry had already been arranged here, but the other party was chasing him too closely, so he had to abandon some soldiers.

However, at this time, the exhausted Cao army had completely lost its fighting spirit. The military commander named Lin Jin weighed the pros and cons, turned back with his subordinates, and raised the white flag directly to Taishi Ci.

They are originally Yellow Turban bandits. They will follow whoever can feed them and keep them alive on the battlefield. In this situation, what's the point of risking their lives?

Moreover, Yu Jin was usually too serious. He would punish soldiers by military law regardless of whether they committed a big or small offense. His subordinates had long been dissatisfied with him. When they were forced into a desperate situation, it was normal for them to surrender. Not only did Lin Jin surrender, but others were also ready to make a move.

Yu Jin, who was preparing to cross the river on the shore, was dumbfounded when he saw that Lin Jin actually surrendered directly!
