Lu Bu turned his head and asked Zang Ba: "How is the South Gate now, has Liu Bei sent troops to fight again" Zang Ba said: "Sent, Guan Yu led 10,000 horses to attack the South Gate." ”Lu Bu snorted: "Last time, I sent 15,000, and this time I only sent 10,000, Liu Bei is really stingy." ”Zang Ba said: "Liu Bei has few soldiers, and these 10,000 horses account for almost half of his troops. ”Lu Bu said: "If it weren't for Ma Teng to help him, I wouldn't have cooperated with him rarely." ”Zang Ba said: "Dong Zhuo estimates that it won't last long, and the general must be ready to enter the city." ”Lu Bu said: "I know that Liu Bei is not capable of competing with me for Chang'an, but I am worried that Ma Teng will come to get a piece of the pie." ”Zang Ba said: "Didn't the general negotiate with the surnamed Zheng" Lu Bu said: "The negotiation is negotiated, but I am afraid of accidents, so we have to take the lead in capturing Chang'an, if Ma Teng breaks through the West Gate first, and Chang'an is advanced by him, it will be a big trouble." ”Zang Ba said: "I sent someone to check, Ma Teng is urging the Xiliang soldiers to storm the West City Gate, and it seems that he wants to compete with us." ”Lu Bu said: "The three-way people and horses are in a hurry to attack the city, I am afraid that the city will be broken in the next few days, you go and let the rear army prepare, once the city gate is broken, immediately enter the city, first control Chang'an, and do not let Liu Bei and Ma Teng's troops enter." ”Zang Ba responded, acted immediately, and personally led the rear army to prepare.In the city of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was in a panic all day, the Wuwu was broken, and the property was lost, which not only seriously affected the morale, but also the grain and grass were gone, in the face of the attack of the three-way army, the defenders of Chang'an deserted, and the troops began to be overstretched.Dong Zhuo convened an emergency meeting of the generals to discuss what to do in Chang'an, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and Fan Chou expressed their determination to defend to the death, and did not hesitate to fight to the death.But Li Ru has a different opinion: "If Hewu is not lost, it can still be supported for a while, but now that the lord has lost most of his property, it is difficult to continue to control Chang'an, I suggest giving up Chang'an and going to Yongzhou." ”Li Wei disagreed: "Yongzhou is far worse than Chang'an, which will make the status of the lord plummet." ”Li Ru said: "Yongzhou's territory is not small, and it still has the capital to make a comeback. ”Li Dao said: "The geographical location of Yongzhou is extremely poor, there is Ma Teng in the north, Zhang Lu in the south, and it is adjacent to Chang'an. ”Li Ru said: "That's better than dying in Chang'an, at least there is still a chance to operate in Yongzhou." ”Li Wei said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui have always been eyeing Yongzhou, once we lose Chang'an, they will join forces with Lu Bu to attack, and then we will still have no place to bury." ”Li Ru said: "That's not necessarily, Ma Teng and Liu Bei have a very strong relationship, Liu Bei definitely doesn't want Ma Teng to come to Yongzhou, he will hope that we will contain Lu Bu in Yongzhou."
And Lu Bu may not be able to dominate the entire Chang'an, Liu Bei and Ma Teng will definitely come to get a piece of the pie, I predict that they will have infighting. ”Dong Zhuo agreed with Li Ru's opinion, he said: "With Lu Bu's character, he will never let others get involved in Chang'an, once Lao Tzu withdraws from Chang'an, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng will definitely fight each other." ”Guo Yan said: "If the lord decides to withdraw, then it is early, if Ma Teng captures the west city gate, the passage to Yongzhou will be closed, and then the lord can only die with Chang'an." ”Li Ru also persuaded: "I also agree with Guo Yan's opinion, give up Chang'an as soon as possible, so that the lord can still have a group of troops left in his hands, and when he arrives in Yongzhou, he can pull some strong men, so that he can gather 100,000 horses and horses, and then try to fight back in the future." ”Li Dao asked: "Lu Bu will definitely have a big power if he wins Chang'an, and we can still fight back" Li Ru said: "Lu Bu's enemy is not only the lord, but also Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two strong enemies, the lord has a chance." ”Dong Zhuo thought about it and felt that without the huge wealth and grain and grass of Yiwu to maintain the army, it would be difficult for Chang'an to defend it anymore, and if he didn't go to Yongzhou as soon as possible to lay the foundation, it would probably be a dead end.So, Dong Zhuo made up his mind, shed his tears, and ordered the generals to gather the troops to retreat.Fan Chou said a little dissatisfied: "We have been running Chang'an for many years, and we are really unconvinced to give it to others like this." ”Dong Zhuo said: "I'm not convinced, you lead people to loot Chang'an, I want to make up for the lost wealth of Yiwu." ”Fan Chou was overjoyed: "My subordinates will do it immediately" Dong Zhuo said fiercely: "When you wait for the looting to be completed, you will burn Chang'an with a fire, and I will let Lu Bu get a ruin, not a prosperous city." ”Dong Zhuo and Li Ru left Chang'an first and secretly went to Yongzhou.Li Dao and Guo Yan refused to guard the east and west gates respectively to cover Fan Chou's looting of the people's property in the city.After nightfall, Ma Teng and Guan Yu both stopped attacking the city, only Lü Bu still had troops attacking at night, Li Dao was worried that this would be detrimental to the retreat, so he sent an envoy to Lü Bu, trying his best to ask Lü Bu to suspend the attack.Lu Bu naturally didn't agree: "Dong Zhuo can't stand it, then I will attack the city more vigorously." ”The envoy said, "This is not what Dong Zhuo meant, this is what General Li Dao meant. ”Lu Bu disdainful: "Li Dao is just a small general, what right does he have to negotiate with me." ”The envoy said: "Dong Zhuo's general trend has gone, and General Li Dao has the intention of surrendering to General Lu. ”Lü Bu asked: "When does Li Dao plan to surrender to me?"
The envoy said: "Tomorrow at noon, General Li Dao will take advantage of Dong Zhuo's nap and open the city gate to greet General Lu." ”"On the day our soldiers enter Chang'an, we will definitely reward Li Dao."
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to stop the attack, and ordered his subordinates, "Set up a banquet immediately, I will entertain the envoy well, and drink a few cups with him." ”The envoy refused: "Thank you General Lu for your kindness, I will return to the city immediately, tell the news to General Li Wei, and let him prepare for the future." ”Lu Bu was not reluctant, he sent the messenger back immediately, and he began to dream of surrendering Li Dao.Gao Shun reminded: "General Lu, beware of Li Dao is a fraudulent surrender. ”Lu Bu laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if he surrenders by fraud or by truth, as long as he opens the city gate, once my army enters the city, it will not be his turn to speak." ”Lu Bu immediately arranged tomorrow's affairs with Gao Shun and other athletes, and if Li Dao surrendered, Gao Shun immediately beheaded him.It's a pity that Lu Bu never dreamed that Li Dao was not a fraudulent surrender, but delaying time, and at the moment when he stopped attacking the city, Li Dao took advantage of the darkness to command the troops defending the city to withdraw quietly, and straw men were erected on the city to replace the soldiers standing guard.After Fan Chou finished looting, he set fire to the entire Chang'an in the middle of the night, and then led his troops to flee to Yongzhou in a hurry.When Lu Bu saw that Chang'an was on fire, he knew the plan and immediately woke up the army to attack the city, but as a result, there was no enemy in the city, and he entered the city without difficulty.Ma Teng and Guan Yu also drove into the city one after another, extinguishing fires everywhere
