Chapter 13 I responded with a club
[Dong Zhuo, courtesy name Zhongying, was from Lintao County, Longxi Prefecture. He was a warlord and powerful official in the late Han Dynasty]

[Political Command Value: 71, cultivates Tiger Strategy, good at fighting in open terrain. Occupies Luoyang, takes charge of government affairs, can promote his Tiger Strategy into Commander Strategy, greatly improves military training]

[Loyalty value: 51, things are getting worse and worse, rebellion is justified, ready to occupy Luoyang to disrupt the government at any time]

[Personality: Cruel, power-hungry, greedy, defying nature and reason, becoming increasingly ferocious... Killing him will greatly increase your reputation and improve your luck. Those who practice Tiger Strategy are currently unable to listen to their inner voice.]

Cao Cao noticed that the hint to Dong Zhuo included the addition of the commander-in-chief mark.

There is more content, and the monsters are definitely "big boss" level, and the rewards for killing them are rich.

Dong Zhuo majored in the military strategist's Tiger Strategy, one of Taigong's Six Strategies... Cao Cao thought to himself.

There are different categories of military practice, namely the four major schools of military strategy, military situation, military yin and yang, and military skills.

Taigong Hu Tao is between military strategy and military situation, and can be used for charging into battle and using strategies.

Later generations believed that Cao Cao was one of the representatives of this school of military strategy.

At this time, the sound of the two armies fighting in the distance became clearer.

On the city wall, Jingzhao Yin Gai Xun waved his hand and said in a clear voice: "The sage said, those who know are not confused, and those who know themselves are clear."

Gai Xun was proficient in both literature and martial arts.

He hummed softly, and the literary and military strategies he had cultivated were brought to the fore. Faintly, the shadow of a Confucian bamboo slip emerged. He opened it, and the energy rose from the bamboo slip and merged into his eyes.

Gai Xun immediately saw where the sounds of fighting came from in the distance.

The Zhen sisters were somewhat skeptical of Gai Xun's practice, which had actually reached the level of a saint.

Their father, the head of the Zhen family, is at this level. In Confucianism, this is already the initial stage of entering the level of supernatural powers.

The two women also pushed their strength and looked out of the city.

As soon as he came into view, he saw a team of more than a thousand people rushing out diagonally and heading straight for the low hill where Dong Zhuo had stationed his troops.

Two thousand of Dong Zhuo's troops were camped on the low hill.

The attacking team was led by a general wearing a silver helmet and thrusting his spear forward, causing a low whistle to echo in the void.

The tripwires that had just been set outside the camp and the simple wooden fences carried by the army collapsed with a loud bang, spreading over an area of ​​dozens of feet, and even the soldiers stumbled back.

The leading general overturned the camp of a thousand people with his own strength.

Dong Zhuo had previously ordered to set up camp a little further away, with personnel moving in and out in rotation, so that people would not be able to tell how many troops he brought, in order to confuse the enemy.

The truth was revealed instantly at this moment.

Dong Zhuo, who was standing outside the city, also used some military tactics to see the entire process of the attack on the camp clearly.

"Whose troops are these?"

Before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he could already sense the deep malice of this city.

Around the low hills in the distance, Dong Zhuo's troops quickly adjusted their positions and the two sides engaged in close combat.

The leader of the team that was charging into the camp swung his huge spear and instantly knocked down several elite soldiers under Dong Zhuo who were approaching.

One general tried to charge the brave general with the silver helmet and the giant spear, but was knocked down by the spear. Even the horse under him neighed and fell to the ground.

The bravery of the silver-helmeted general shocked onlookers from far and near.

Dong Zhuo's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

When they came to Luoyang this time, not only were there soldiers lined up at the city gate, but the place where they set up camp was also attacked by surprise.

This was something he had never expected before he came.

Cao Cao watched leisurely from a distance.

Another entry also appeared in front of him: [After reaching 5,000 reputation, the innate ability of listening to the battlefield can be improved]

The team that attacked the camp was sent by Ding Yuan, and the leading general was Lu Bu.

Ding Yuan's decision to take action against Dong Zhuo was quietly pushed by Cao Cao when he met with him last night.

It is sufficient to explain that General He Jin had just passed away, and Dong Zhuo had arrived with great power and strength in his army. His status would surely be further improved, and he would be expected to become the number one in the military after He Jin and take charge of the government.

Plus the relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family.

What will the situation be like when the civil and military officials come together in the government and the country?
Ding Yuan thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He Jin had previously mobilized troops from various parties to Luoyang, and these foreign troops were in a relationship of mutual containment.

There was natural competition and opposition between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan.

A conversation with Cao Cao made Ding Yuan's thoughts very clear. In history, the two of them were also tit-for-tat, and Ding Yuan was killed by Dong Zhuo and his troops were annexed.

However, Lu Bu led his men to charge the camp, but did not kill them. Ding Yuan still had room for maneuver.

He just wanted to humiliate Dong Zhuo and expose his ill intentions in coming to Luoyang.

In the distance, Lu Bu defeated Dong Zhuo's troops one after another, fighting in and out of the camp, and was unable to match his enemy.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Bu broke through the camp and rushed through the crowd, laughing loudly.

He used his own martial arts luck and the soldiers behind him to form a front, suppressing all the troops of Dong Zhuo nearby. Someone choked on blood and fell to the ground.

At this time, Lu Bu turned his horse and rushed towards Dong Zhuo.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed.

Dong Zhuo was furious.

A surge of energy also surged from his body, merging with that of the more than a thousand personal soldiers who accompanied him.

In Cao Cao's ears, he also heard a sound like a tiger's roar.

There seemed to be a phantom tiger lying in the shadow behind Dong Zhuo.

The practice of military strategists has the realm of Yin body, military aspect and other supernatural powers. Yin body is derived from absorbing the life and death energy of the battlefield, and military aspect is combined with one's own soul and integrates the military tactics practiced.

Cao Cao's spiritual appearance also falls into this category.

However, even though he released his aura and cooperated with his soldiers and generals, the power that Lu Bu sent through the air still made Dong Zhuo feel pain in his face, as if he was stabbed by a sword.

In an instant, Lu Bu rushed to more than ten feet in front of him, pointed the tip of his spear at Dong Zhuo, and leaned back on his horse, as if he was going to throw the huge spear in his hand.

Despite Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness and cruelty, his face finally changed and he suddenly took a step back.

"Fengxian, don't stop yet."

In the darkness on the east side of the city gate, a tall figure rode out, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

The man had eyes like torches and was wearing general armor. He was Ding Yuan, Lu Bu's first adoptive father.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu put away his spear, rushed towards Ding Yuan, and looked back at Dong Zhuo with a face full of sarcasm.

When it comes to the ability to ride a horse into battle, Lu Bu doesn't take anyone seriously.

Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo looked at each other, neither giving an inch.

Cao Cao thought that the show in Luoyang had begun, and this was the benefit of having the initiative.

He knew the general outline of the follow-up. Dong Zhuo had a large number of forces, but he could win a chance for himself by cleverly utilizing all parties.

Dong Zhuo wanted to control Luoyang, so Cao Cao, on behalf of Luoyang, responded by hitting him with a club and pulling it out with increased force to keep him in line.

Outside the city gate, Ding Yuan was followed by two young generals, one on the left and one on the right.

Among them, one of them was very outstanding and second only to Lu Bu, he was Zhang Liao, who would become famous in the future.

He was also a general promoted by Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan had good personal martial arts and troop command abilities.

There is a lack of core cohesion, and the generals under his command tend to act independently.

"Why did you let people attack my military camp?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Is that a military camp? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was fake. There are thousands of people and they set up such a large camp."

Ding Yuan exposed Dong Zhuo's trick of playing tricks on the enemy and asked:
"You led your troops to Luoyang and set up camp to confuse people. What do you want to do?"

Dong Zhuo said, "I am here to protect the emperor at Luoyang on the orders of General He."

Cao Cao watched coldly, exacerbating the conflict between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. No one present knew that it was his plan, including Ding Yuan himself, who thought it was his own understanding.

"Please step back, my lord. Our troops will arrive soon, and we can kill Ding Yuan and the others then."

Li Ru reminded Dong Zhuo in secret from the rear.

Li Ru was caught off guard by the strong resistance he encountered outside the city gate when he came to Luoyang.

Ding Yuan sent Lu Bu to attack their camp, which was tantamount to a head-on blow to them.

"Mr. Dong, come here. What are you doing here?"

A sound came from the direction of the city gate.

Cao Cao muttered to himself: The troublemaker is coming.
