Liangqiao is located at the junction of Dangyin County and Wucheng.

After Huang Zhong led an army of 50,000 to Liangqiao, he met Li Ru, who came from Dangyin County. The two sides fought in Liangqiao, and they were hard to tell. However, after several consecutive battles, they did not decide the winner and the winner was set up. They each set up camp.

Jizhou Army. Central Army tent.

Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, Yan Rou and Yan Liang were sitting in the camp and were discussing the war.

Yan Liang said with a frown and worriedly: "General Han Sheng fought with Li Ru several times in a row, but his victory or defeat was not decided. From the analysis of this battle, it can be judged that the soldiers under Li Ru are all elite. Furthermore, from this battle, we can also see that Li Ru's military strength is far more than us. If we continue to adopt the strategy of head-on fighting, it will be very unfavorable to us."

Huang Zhong stroked the beard under his jaw and said slowly: "General Yan's analysis is very reasonable. I think so too." As he said that, Huang Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked: "What are the military advisors' solutions for this battle?"

Yan Rou's eyes also fell on Jia Xu, and there was expectation in her eyes.

It took Yan Rou a few days to stay in Ye County before and understand Wang Lei’s situation clearly.

Among the civil officials, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are undoubtedly the two most trusted people Wang Lei relied on. The strategies of these two people are also the best among Wang Lei's advisers. He was also excited when he could learn from Jia Xu.

Jia Xu shook the feather fan lightly and said unhurriedly: "General Hansheng, don't be anxious. I am already implementing the strategy to defeat Li Ru. What I need to do now is to wait. Have enough patience to wait. While waiting, strengthen the defense of the front and rear camps to ensure that our camp is not attacked by sneak attacks."

Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did the military advisor start to implement the strategy? Why don't I know?"

Jia Xu said: "It started when we set out from Ye County."

Huang Zhong quickly asked again: "What is the military advisor's plan?"

Jia Xu said the plan without any haste. After that, Huang Zhong, Yan Rou and Yan Liang's eyes were full of endless surprises. Unexpectedly, Jia Xu's layout was so profound.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but stroking his hands and exclaimed, "The military advisor's plan is really hard to know. With the gentleman's plan, it's easy to defeat Li Ru."

Yan Rou said convincedly: "The military advisor's plan is indeed powerful."

Yan Liang said: "This battle will definitely win martial arts."

Jia Xu's smile was calm and he said in a deep voice: "The situation just now is not only known to you, except for the lord and Shi A., so it must be kept confidential. If you reveal a little bit of the news, you should know the consequences."

Huang Zhong shouted: "Don't worry, sir. I understand."

Yan Liang and Yan Rou nodded. Both of them understood the importance of the message Jia Xu said.

...

Dongjun. Puyang County.

Cao Cao led his army to attack Jizhou. The base camp was located in Puyang County.

In the central army's tent, Cao Cao was discussing countermeasures with Xi Zhicai and Xun You. This time he attacked Jizhou, Cao Cao took Xi Zhicai and Xun You by his side. Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others stayed in the rear to be responsible for logistics and ensure the supply of military rations and equipment.

Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "The news from Dangyin County. Li Ru began to attack Huang Zhong fiercely. Every battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. Whether it was Li Ru's troops or Huang Zhong's troops, they all weakened a lot. Li Ru went all out. Then this battle must be divided with Wang Lei. At this time, we cannot destroy Cao Cao's platform. It is time to go all out."

Xun You said: "The lord means, are you planning to use the tiger and leopard cavalry?"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the most elite cavalry under Cao Cao. The number is about 3,000 people. The commander is Xu Chu. The deputy commander is Xu Chu's brother Xu Ding. The two are outstanding in martial arts and are loyal to Cao Cao. They are Cao Cao's confidant and beloved generals.

Cao Cao said: "Until the end, you cannot use the tiger and leopard cavalry."

Xi Zhicai said: "The Jizhou military general we are facing is Zhang He. This person is not simple."

Xun You said: "What kind of ability does Zhang He have?"

Xi Zhicai replied: "Zhang He is from Jizhou. I have learned about Zhang He's situation. At first, Zhang He served as the post of military Sima under Han Fu's command. However, he was not valued and had no reputation. Later, Wang Lei took office. Zhang He became Wang Lei's confidant and began to emerge. He became a general under Wang Lei's command."

"When Yuan Shao rebelled, he led his army to approach Wei County, but Zhang He blocked Pingen County, northeast of Wei County with very little force. It is difficult to go further."

Xi Zhicai said: "Yuan Shao was destroyed. Zhang He became the prefect of Bohai County. After Zhang He took office, he used thunder to wipe out the descendants left by Yuan Shao. All the Yuan family were executed by Zhang He. During his tenure, he was kind and powerful. In a short time, the people of Bohai County completely surrendered to Wang Lei."

Xi Zhicai continued: "Putting aside Zhang He's other abilities, the most important thing is that Zhang He is good at defending. Before, we attacked tentatively twice. Zhang He used the geographical environment to easily block our attacks. It was not easy to defeat Zhang He."

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Since it is defense, there will always be flaws. Opportunities are searched for in the battle. They do not exist from the beginning. It is not that easy to destroy Zhang He at one time. Next, we have to continue to attack and attack continuously to find out Zhang He's weaknesses."

"promise."

Xi Zhicai and Xun You nodded and left the tent respectfully.

With Cao Cao's orders issued, Cao's soldiers continued to go out to Puyang and go to Fanyang County to kill. Zhang He was stationed in Fanyang County and commanded the soldiers to defend. The two armies confronted each other and had a victory or defeat. There was no distinction between the superiority and inferiority.

...

Dangyin County. Li Ru's camp.

A huge convoy slowly headed towards the camp. This convoy was sent by Dong Lian from Chang'an and transported a full 100,000 stones of grain. The person in charge of escorting the grain was named Dong Liang. He served as the chief servant of the prime minister and was the confidant promoted by Dong Lian.

Dong Liang arrived outside the camp and immediately asked him to take the token to inform him.

It didn't take long. Xu Huang came out of the camp to greet him. Xu Huang smiled and said, "Dong Hucao came at the right time. There were only two days left in the camp. The Taiwei urged him several times."

Dong Liang smiled and said, "General Xu is polite. This is the duty of the lower officials. In addition to escorting food, I also brought rewards from the prime minister. The prime minister saw the efforts of the Grand Marshal and was very pleased. At the same time, the prime minister rewarded a hundred jars of fine wine and rewarded the Grand Marshal."

Xu Huang was happy for Li Ru and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister." Then, Xu Huang said, "Please ask the Grand Marshal in Donghu Cao. The Grand Marshal has been waiting for a long time."

The two of them came to the Central Army's tent one by one.

Dong Liang met Li Ru and said respectfully: "The lower-ranking official Dong Liang has met the Grand Marshal."

Li Ru waved his hand to signal Dong Liang to sit down and said lightly: "How is the situation in Chang'an?"

Dong Liang replied: "Report to the Taiwei. Everything is fine."

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "I hope it's what you said. Go back and tell the Prime Minister that I will defeat the Jizhou army and attack Ye County in the shortest time."

"yes."

Dong Liang nodded and answered respectfully.

He was also a little scared about Li Ru and Dong Liang.

Li Ru waved his hand and said, "The war is urgent. I won't keep you."

"Goodbye to the Lord."

Dong Liang stood up and exited the tent.

From beginning to end, the words were only a few short words, and the butt was not hot. But Dong Liang understood his identity. He was just a small household. Li Ru was able to meet him. It was already good. Xu Huang followed Dong Liang and waited for Dong Liang to leave the camp with the soldiers who had finished unloading the food. Xu Huang returned to the camp.

After saluting, Xu Huang smiled and said, "Taiwei Dong Huang sent someone to send food, enough for our soldiers to eat last January. Next, we can fight with all our might."

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "The Prime Minister has done a good job this time."

Xu Huang wanted to speak but stopped, saying, "There is a saying at the end. I don't know whether to say it."

"Talk it straight." Li Rudao.

Xu Huang said: "Would Dong Huang do this? Is it a bad intention?"

"Hahaha……"

Li Ru laughed out loud and looked very happy.

Xu Huang asked, "Why is the Grand Marshal laughing?"

In fact, Li Ru was happy about Xu Huang's attitude towards Dong Huang. Li Ru was worried about giving the people a real person and called him the prime minister. However, Xu Huang directly called Dong Huang's name. This was obviously his confidant. Furthermore, Xu Huang openly questioned Dong Huang, which also satisfied Li Ru. Xu Huang was his confidant and must be loyal to him.

Li Ru stopped laughing and replied: "Dong Huang's approach. You don't have to worry. The people who stayed in Chang'an heard news. The reason why Dong Huang did this was Dong Lian's persuasion."

Xu Huang was even more confused and asked: "Dong Lian hated the Taiwei to the core. He deliberately wanted to defeat the Taiwei. How could he help the Taiwei?"

Li Ru said with a serious expression: "Dong Lian really hated me to the core. Before, I always thought this person was a playboy. But after this incident, I thought this kid was good."

Xu Huang looked curious and didn't understand why.

Li Ru explained: "I led my troops to fight Wang Lei. Dong Huang summoned Dong Lian. He planned to take advantage of my leadership of Chang'an and take action in Chang'an. Dong Lian persuaded Dong Huang and said that internal strife at this time would make my situation difficult and would make Wang Lei profitable. More importantly, Dong Lian believed that once my rights were seized, I might lose to Wang Lei, causing Chang'an to fall into danger and causing Dong Huang to fall into danger. Dong Huang was worried about his own safety, so he agreed to Dong Lian's persuasion."

After a pause, Li Ru said with a smile: "Dong Lian said something. He said that the fight between Dong Huang and me is a struggle between his own people. If you want to fight, you have to wait until you defeat Wang Lei before taking action."

Xu Huang smiled and said, "It's quite obvious that Dong Lian can say this. But Dong Lian still can't. He underestimated the Taiwei too much. With the little power in Dong Huang's hands and the little ability of Dong Huang, it's impossible to fight with the Taiwei. Even if the Taiwei is not in Chang'an, Dong Lian can't make a fuss."

Li Ru smiled slightly and looked confident.

In fact, Xu Huang's words were deeply agreed by Li Ru.

Li Ru led his army to leave Chang'an. On the surface, all the troops under his command were transferred out. But Li Ru was cautious and had already made steady arrangements. Dong Huang wanted to seize power. Li Ru could easily take Dong Huang.
