Luoyang.

The news of Lu Bu's defeat had spread before, and there was already an undercurrent in Luoyang City. Although Dong Zhuo cruelly killed many loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty after entering Luoyang.

But in this capital, the most important thing is the literati and officials with integrity.

There are endless kills.

Even if Cao Cao wanted to steal the [Society Artifact] decades later in history, he would have loyal ministers from the Han Dynasty who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

In the Prime Minister's Office.

The body of an official was carried by a team of armored soldiers and put on a carriage, intending to be pulled out of the city to be buried. Whether it is armored soldiers or maids, servants are all used to it.

Dong Zhuo is a crazy person. Once stimulated, someone will be in trouble.

In the study, Dong Zhuo's face turned pale, and Li Ru on the side seat was also silent.

Not long after, Hua Xiong, who had not taken off his armor, walked in from outside, knelt in front of Dong Zhuo, and kowtowed, "Lord. I am defeated, please apply for military law."

Dong Zhuo glared at Hua Xiong and was about to speak, Li Ru quickly stood up and said with a smile: "General Hua is so serious, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. If you fight hard and lose with all your might, you are worthy of your lord."

After pausing, Li Ruzeng gave Hua Xiong a wink and said, "The general is tired, so go down to repair it. Fight against Sun Jian again."

Hua Xiong looked at Li Ru gratefully. He knew Dong Zhuo's temper. If it weren't for Li Ru's suppression, he would at least have to be beaten.

"No." Hua Xiong agreed, bowed to Li Ru first, then bowed to Dong Zhuo, stood up and walked out.

His majestic back was a little desolate and sad.

He is also a proud person, and it is really a blow to be defeated easily.

"He still has some courage." After Hua Xiong left, Dong Zhuo finally couldn't help but curse.

"Oh." Although Li Ru sighed, he nodded. Hua Xiong was also unable to defend the pass, and he gave a try in the unfavorable situation.

What about the other two?

At this moment, a minor official walked in from outside and reported: "Report to the lord, Fan Chou, and the other generals Hu Zhen were carrying a thorn outside to apologize."

"Let them get out." Dong Zhuo was furious and slapped the table.

These two guys didn't even fight, but they actually left the gate and fled. Moreover, Hua Xiong had at least faced with Sun Jian, and these two guys were also powerful generals, and they might not suffer any losses when facing Huang Gai and others.

Just frightened.

It's really angering old man.

"No." Someone had been angry that Dong Zhuo was killed before, so the minor official naturally did not dare to frown Dong Zhuo's brows, and agreed to the promise and prepared to go on.

"Let's go." Li Ru called the minor official and persuaded: "Lord. Sun Jian has seized three passes and must be invading Luoyang. Now the people in Luoyang are shocked, and the general can only comfort him, not scold him."

"If the lord really doesn't want to do so, please sit here. I'll go and give me a pension."

"Yeah." Dong Zhuo nodded reluctantly.

Li Ru nodded and came outside the study. Sure enough, he saw Fan Chou, and Hu Zhen and the other two were bare-chested and carrying thorns.

The spikes on the thorns dripped blood on their backs.

"Sir." Fan Chou and Hu Zhen were also a general of heroic spirits, but at this moment he raised his head and looked at Li Ru, bowing and bowing.

"Two generals should cherish their bodies." Li Ru sighed, then helped the two generals untie the Jingtou himself, and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The two generals go down and rest first. When General Zhang of the Cavalry comes back, you can fight with Sun Jian to the death."

"Of course, I will be relieved."

"promise."

When Fan Chou and Hu Zhen heard that they could be exempted from punishment, they couldn't help but be surprised. When he heard that Zhang Xiu was coming back, his morale was immediately raised and he replied with a loud bang.

Before we knew it, Zhang Xiu's prestige was already so high in the hearts of the general who was wearing Liangzhou.

They blindly believed that as long as Zhang Xiu came back, everything would be solved.

What is the "Jiangdong Tiger"? Can it be more powerful than the "Shenweitian General"?

Li Ru settled down on Fan Chou and Hu Zhen, and returned to the study and saw Dong Zhuo with a dejected look on his face.

Dong Zhuo is sometimes quite cute.

"Li Ru. Before this Dalang came back, even Hua Xiong, Fan Chou and Hu Zhen were defeated in front of him. Sun Jian is about to arrive in Luoyang. What should we do?" Dong Zhuo raised his head and looked at Li Rudao with his eyes.

Li Ru had long thought about this, and came to the seat calmly and sat down, bowed and said, "What the lord said is that you have to hold on until Han Shouhou returns."

"Lord. On the one hand, you can dispatch generals to guard the twelve city gates in Luoyang respectively. On the other hand, set up the commander of Luoyang east, south, west and north to carry out a curfew in the city. In order to prevent the officials, ministers and officials in the city from leading their slaves and working with Sun Jian inside and outside in the city."

"Yeah, yeah." Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly, and his dejectedness made him much better.

"On the other hand, the lord can send Li Su as an envoy, bring jewelry, gold, and wealth to meet Sun Jian. He promised him the position of the governor of Jingzhou and General Yang Wu. Then let the Sun clan and the Dong clan marry. Although the Sun clan is a prominent family, it is a poor family. Sun Jian might be very moved."

Li Ru gently pinched his soft beard and said.

"Okay, do as you do." Dong Zhuo nodded again, and the fat on his face trembled.

"In the end, it was Lu Bu. After he was defeated, he stationed troops in Yangwu. He must be afraid that the lord would kill him. The lord should send someone to provide relief, but he could not summon Lu Bu back. If he summoned Lu Bu, Lu Bu would definitely be frightened." Li Ru said again.

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this and said, "This guy is useless to have high hopes for him. I can balance Zhang Xiu. I didn't expect it but it's useless. I dare not come back now. I am defeated and I still want me to send someone to provide compensation? If it weren't for him, how could Sun Jian come to Luoyang?"

"Master, the situation is now, you should bear it." Li Ru said bitterly when he heard this.

"Okay." Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

Dong Zhuo agreed to all three suggestions from Li Ru. In Luoyang City, soldiers were immediately mobilized, and the streets looked like they were in chaos.

The officials, officials, and civilians all closed their doors and were quiet.

.........

At this moment, Sun Jian had already entered Luoyang. After Li Su received the order, he brought the seal of the governor of Jingzhou, General Yang Wu, as well as other jewelry, cloth, etc.

On the evening of this day, I came outside Sun Jian’s camp.

Inside the Central Army's tent.

The lights illuminated the big tent. There was a map on the desk in front of Sun Jian. He was watching at his desk, and Cao Cao also knelt on one side to watch.

"Meng De. I heard that Zhang Xiu was returning to Luoyang. Although I was not afraid of this person, he was a famous general in the world. If I followed the military strategy, I should send my subordinates, and Han should lead 30,000 elite troops to the east to prevent Zhang Xiu from entering Luoyang. We can take the opportunity to attack Luoyang. Although Dong Zhuo's troops were large, most of them were Ding Yuan, He Jin, He Miao, and the mobs of Xiyuan's army were not worth worrying about. Moreover, the court officials and ministers in Luoyang City were not convinced by Dong Zhuo. As long as I attacked continuously, Dong Zhuo would not last long. It was just Zhang Xiu's man..."

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and looked up at Cao Cao.

The situation at this moment is somewhat similar to the situation when Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in history. Without foreign aid, Zhuge Liang could have eaten all the Longyou counties.

Therefore, we must send Ma Su to Jieting to block the Cao Wei general Zhang He.

Now, according to Sun Jian's current military strength and morale, he is very confident in attacking Luoyang. However, Zhang Xiu, a powerful figure, let alone Zhang Xiu's command, there are still 10,000 elite troops under his command.

Even if Zhang Xiu rides alone into the city, he will be a decisive needle. He can stabilize Dong Zhuo's confidence in the army.

but......

"General Sun. It's not that I am increasing Zhang Xiu's ambition and destroying our prestige. Zhang Xiu can only be wise and cannot be defeated. Even if you want to divide the troops, you should personally stop Zhang Xiu. If you send Han Dang and Huang Gai over, it may be just a sacrificial food."

Cao Cao shook his head and suppressed Sun Jian a basin of cold water.

"If I go to stop Zhang Xiu, who is responsible for siege?" Sun Jian asked with a frown.

Cao Cao opened his mouth and said nothing. It was not that he couldn't do it, but his troops were recruiting recruits who had only been recruiting for a few months, which was really a pity.

"It seems that we can only watch Zhang Xiu enter the city. He used 70,000 troops to attack Luoyang City." Sun Jian lost his move and sighed.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, but was quite helpless.

Although Sun Jian looked down on Zhang Xiu very strategically, he had to pay attention to it tactically. Even Zhang Xiu alone was equivalent to 50,000 elite soldiers.

No matter what tactics Sun Jian and Cao Cao do, they can't avoid Zhang Xiu.

The card is right.

Just as the two of them finished their discussion, a personal soldier walked in outside the door and reported: "Report to the lord, General Cao. Someone who claimed to be an envoy of Dong Zhuo and Li Su, the general of the Hu Ben, was looking for a meeting outside."

"This must be a lobbyist." Sun Jian sneered, then said: "I have nothing to say with Dong Zhuo, drive him away."

"Let's go." Cao Cao stopped Sun Jian and said, "General Sun. Although Han is incompatible, it's okay to see Li Su. Maybe we can get some information from him."

"Please come in." Sun Jian thought, nodded and said to his personal soldiers.

"No." The personal soldiers responded to Nuo and turned around and walked out. Not long after, Li Su, who was covered in dust, walked in from outside, bowed and bowed to Sun Jian and said, "Li Su, the general of the Tiger Ben, has seen General Sun."

"Good meeting." Sun Jian reluctantly bowed his hand, then pointed at Cao Cao and said, "This is General Xingfenwu, Cao Mengde."

"It turned out to be General Cao." Li Su immediately bowed to Cao Cao.

"Good meeting." Cao Cao was obviously a little more enthusiastic than Sun Jian.

After a greeting, Sun Jian invited Li Su to sit down and asked, "I and Dong Zhuo are about to fight. He has sent a general here now, but what do you say?"

Li Su glanced at Sun Jian again. Based on his experience, he felt that it was unlikely to convince Sun Jian, but since he was given the order, there was no way.
