Chapter 982 The fate that a general should have

"Beware!" On the top of the city gate of Luoyang City, a lieutenant responsible for the garrison at the city gate saw a team of cavalry coming from afar, with an extremely bad expression. If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry were approaching slowly and did not seem to have any hostility, he had ordered the city gate to close and asked the soldiers on the city to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Despite this, he was extremely careful. After all, there was a mistake at this critical moment. Who knows if anyone on the top suddenly felt disgusted with him? Therefore, he felt that no one would be so stupid that he caused trouble in this period of time that he was extremely careful, so that the soldiers were careful and could deal with it at any time when a sudden situation occurred. Including the city gate, he would also order the soldiers to close it directly when necessary, so that even more troops could not enter the city casually.

"Here." Li Ru, on the back of the war horse, looked up at the soldiers on the city and the weapons in their hands, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He swept left and right at will again, and saw the ordinary civilians who were hiding on both sides of the road because of the arrival of the army, but were still curiously looking at the fun. A trace of pity in his eyes flashed away.

Luoyang City has been on the rise for a long time, and not to mention ordinary people, they don’t even have the guards’ vigilance. You see, when an army appears, you don’t choose to close the city gate immediately, and then identify whether the person comes or whether the person is an enemy or a friend. This kind of vigilance is conceivable.

Fortunately, he did not want to enter Luoyang City with a tough attitude, which was too stupid and too high-profile. He had a better way to enter Luoyang City without attracting the attention of the defenders and reach the vicinity of the palace.

All this is thanks to Queen Mother Dong... Women, most of the time, they will not be able to see the overall situation clearly, or even if they see it, they will subconsciously ignore it and focus more on things that are more beneficial to her.

Next to Li Ru was Xu Rong. When Li Ru saw the soldiers on the city wall, he also saw it. His body became tense unconsciously. This was a natural reaction, and it could also be said to be nervous.

Because in their current state, they can be said to be directly exposed to the range of the bows and arrows of the soldiers on the city wall. In this range, the bows and arrows not only guarantee to hit the enemy, but also cause the greatest damage. How can this not make Xu Rong nervous? Especially when he knew that the army in Luoyang City was an enemy but not a friend, he was just tense and ready to take action at any time, which was already considered calm.

This is also because he knew Li Ru. If it were someone else, Xu Rong would never trust him so easily and let the other party make such a choice. It is precisely because he knew Li Ru that Li Ru was far deeper than his superficial thoughts, and also knew that with Li Ru's personality, he could not let himself be in danger. Therefore, the current army is moving slowly.

"The person who comes is stop!" On the top of the city, the captain held the battlement with his hands and shouted loudly.

As the captain's voice fell, Li Ru nodded to Xu Rong, who immediately raised his hand. The cavalry, who had maintained a slow speed, immediately controlled the horses under his seat to stop and wait for the latest order. However, after stopping, the cavalry of this famous cavalry was moving. The joints of the hands holding the reins were already blue and white, and the reins were tightly tied into the flesh, which shows how nervous it was.

The captain on the city entrance saw Li Ru and his group stopping, and breathed a sigh of relief again. Now he believed that this team of cavalry did not come with some malicious intentions. Yes, who would infringe on the rebellion? Not to mention whether it could break through the city gate, or the capture of Luoyang City, let alone the numerous prefects in all parts of the world. At that time, the emperor would call on the high ground and order the cavalry from all over the country to attack the unjust officials. Who could stop it?

These are all the things that the captain thought in his mind, but he still had to keep his duties carefully. So he asked loudly, "Who is coming? What's the matter when entering the city? You need to know that foreign troops cannot enter the city without an imperial edict. If they still want to enter the city without an imperial edict, then you are the ones who are in trouble!"

The last sentence of the crime of rebellion was made, and the captain deliberately emphasized his tone and said it like thunder. The civilians near the city gate were unconsciously shocked.

Li Ru was unmoved and committed rebellion. In fact, it was not an exaggeration for them to call him a traitor, but no one knew it now. The warning words of the captain sounded too weak and sarcastic to him. What preparations would the person who was committing rebellion stop what he was preparing and doing because of a word?

Everything was booked from the beginning. If you don’t get everything, you will lose everything and you will not stop.

"We are subordinates of the General of the Northern Central Army, and we are specially ordered to enter the city!" Xu Rong glanced at Li Ru and replied.

"Going into the city by the imperial edict?" The captain frowned and then continued to ask, "Where is the imperial edict? Take it out."

The soldiers on the city wall remained alert and did not relax because of Xu Rong's words or two. The same was true for the lieutenant. Without seeing the edict, he would not let the army enter the city no matter what.

Of course, the captain didn't know that something exactly the same as he had happened in the city gate in the other direction, but it was not as peaceful as his here, and there had been battles there.

Li Ru took out the edict that had been prepared from his arms and held it high with both hands. This was a certificate of entry to the city that had been prepared. It was not a forgery, but a real edict that had been stamped with the emperor's seal! Of course, it was not just one, he had about three in his hand, so it was easy to get the Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu into the city.

But why did he do this? When the situation is calm, people will develop a lot of inquiry, deny, and question it. But once the situation is chaotic, even if the excuse is a bit crappy, it will make people unconsciously believe it. And Lu Bu is just a piece that disrupted the situation in Luoyang. It is better for him to act in a messy and dirty way.

As for whether Lu Bu can survive, it depends on his own fortune. Isn’t the fate that military generals should have when they die on the battlefield?

"You go down and get the edict back." After seeing the edict in Li Ru's hand from afar, the captain ordered a soldier beside him.
