When Zhang Fei heard what Guo Lang said, he was so angry that he shouted: "What a common man from Ding Yuan, he is really bullying others!"

Guan Yu frowned and said: "This person is so arrogant, how can he succeed?"

Liu Xian frowned and asked Guo Lang, "What else did he say?"

Guo Lang showed a mocking look and said: "He said that with Lu Bu, it would be easy to get rid of Dong Zhuo!"

Zhang Fei said cheerfully: "Just because of Lu Bu, that old man Ding Yuan is daydreaming!"

Liu Xian thought for a moment and said to Guo Lang: "Go see Ding Yuan again and tell him that I will also lead the army to King Qin of Luoyang."

Guo Lang said awkwardly: "But my lord, with Ding Yuan's character, I'm afraid he won't cooperate with my lord."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but said: "Brother, why do we put our hot face on his cold ass?"

Liu Xian glared at Zhang Fei and said to Guo Lang: "I have no intention of asking him to cooperate with me. I just want him not to misunderstand the purpose of my march. In case our two families start fighting before we reach Luoyang."

Guo Lang understood, clasped his fists and said: "My lord is wise, I will go now." Then he turned around and ran away.

Liu Xian said to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu: "Send the order and everyone come to the hall to discuss matters."

One day later, Liu Xian led Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Zhang Yan, and Pei Yuanshao, and led more than 21,000 troops to leave Hanoi County and go south, preparing to cross the Yellow River near Pinggao, and then head west across Mangshan to Luoyang. And Zhang

Fei and another 10,000 soldiers and horses stayed behind in Hanoi County.

Liu Xian led his army to set up a pontoon bridge near Pinggao, and then Liu Xian led 20,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, leaving Pei Yuanshao and more than a thousand officers and soldiers to guard the pontoon bridge.

The army immediately marched westward. At this moment, Guo Lang caught up with Liu Xian's army and reported to Liu Xian: "My lord, my subordinates have informed Ding Yuan..." Then he looked like he was hesitating to speak.

Liu Xian saw this and asked with a smile: "Did Ding Yuan say something unpleasant again? It doesn't matter, just say it and listen."

Guo Lang couldn't help but said angrily: "That Dingyuan didn't take us seriously at all. He actually said that we were going to die and told us not to interfere with him!"

Liu Xian chuckled. Guan Yu couldn't help but scolded: "What a common man from Ding Yuan! He's just too much of a bully!"

Liu Xian was thinking: I originally thought that the reason why Ding Yuan lost to Dong Zhuo was entirely because of Lu Bu's betrayal, but now it seems that the real reason is not what was stated in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Guo Lang glanced at Liu Xian, as if he still had something to say.

Liu Xian smiled and said, "Why are you so hesitant again when I talk to you? Is there anything unpleasant that Ding Yuan said that you didn't say?"

Guo Lang cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I'm just thinking whether it's wise to march into Luoyang at this time?" Liu Xian nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Guo Lang said: "I thought that if Ding Yuan and his state army were there to help, it would not be impossible to expel Dong Zhuo and restore order in Luoyang. But now that Ding Yuan is acting like this, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Liu Xian was silent for a moment and said: "I understand what you said, but I still want to give it a try. This is not completely impossible."

There is a reason for Liu Xian to say this. Although Dong Zhuo has a strong military, he has just arrived, and his actions are obviously unpopular with the people of Luoyang. Coupled with the logistics problems of the army, it can be said that Dong Zhuo's foundation in Luoyang is very unstable now.

Although Ding Yuan is not a material for big things, after all, he has an army of 80,000, plus the 20,000 elites in Liu Xian's hands, it is still very possible to defeat Dong Zhuo. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ding Yuan's family caused trouble to Dong Zhuo

Such a huge amount of pressure can be seen as normal.

Liu Xian expressed these judgments of his, which made Guo Lang, Guan Yu and others sincerely admire him. Guo Lang couldn't help but praise: "My lord must be the minister of the great Han Dynasty's ZTE!"

Liu Xian chuckled. He didn't care at all whether he could revive the Han Dynasty. He just wanted to keep Luoyang, the pearl of the Chinese clan. Because according to the history he knew, Dong Zhuo's control of Luoyang would lead to a war between the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo, and then

Dong Zhuo was unable to protect Luoyang and set fire to it.

If he could defeat Dong Zhuo at this time, maybe something like that wouldn't happen.

It is said that Ding Yuan led 80,000 troops to cross the Yellow River near Pingyin. Pingyin is on the bank of the Yellow River north of Luoyang, only a few dozen miles away from Luoyang.

At the Grand Master's Mansion in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was convening his civil and military officials to discuss military matters.

Dong Zhuo, who was as tall as a mountain of flesh, sat high on the throne, glanced at the people in the hall, and said with a smile: "I just received a report from the scouts that Ding Yuan has led an army of 80,000 people to cross the Yellow River in Pingyin.

It is expected to arrive at our place in the day after tomorrow! There is also Liu Xian, who is coming from the east with 20,000 troops, and is expected to arrive at our place in three days!"

When everyone present heard this, they were not afraid at all. A general who was as tough as a tiger or a wolf came out and clasped his fists at Dong Zhuo and said loudly: "Let them come! Just let them know how powerful our Xiliang cavalry is!" Everyone agreed loudly and shouted.

Scenes of fighting and killing.

At this time, another general came out and asked for a fight with clasped fists: "Grand Master, I am willing to lead 30,000 cavalry to defeat the Bingzhou Army and capture Ding Yuan alive and hand him over to the Grand Master!" Other generals also followed suit and asked for a fight.

However, all the generals' targets for the battle were focused on Ding Yuan, and they seemed not to take Liu Xian seriously.

Dong Zhuo was very happy to see the high fighting spirit of his generals. He laughed and said: "You are so brave, what do I have to worry about?"

At this time, the guy who looked like a counselor standing at the head of the right column came out, cupped his fists and said: "Grand Master, when we first arrived in Luoyang, many people have not yet surrendered, and our foundation is not yet solid. It is best if we can not use weapons at this time.

Instead of using weapons, we might as well send someone to show favor to Ding Yuan and Liu Xian. If we can neutralize these two groups of soldiers, it will be of great benefit to us without any harm!"

This man's name is Li Ru, and he can be said to be Dong Zhuo's number one adviser, and Dong Zhuo trusts him very much.

Dong Zhuo heard this and thought it was very reasonable. He nodded and said boldly: "If they can listen to my good advice, I will reward them with official titles!" He said to Li Ru: "Li Ru, you draft the document immediately and show it to me as soon as you finish it.

Look, then send it to them immediately!" Li Ru promised with clasped fists.

Liu Xian and his army had just arrived at Mangshan when sentry riders from the front came to report that Dong Zhuo's envoy had arrived.

Liu Xian felt a little surprised and ordered someone to bring the envoy over.

After a while, a eunuch with his chin raised and eyes above his head was brought to Liu Xian.

The eunuch shouted and asked as if he knew the truth: "Who is Liu Xian?"

Liu Xian said: "I am Liu Xian, what do you want?"

The eunuch glanced at Liu Xian, raised a volume of documents in his hand, and shouted: "Grandmaster's grace is here, Liu Xian kneels down to accept it!"
