The news of the alliance between the Kwantung Allied Forces spread to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang like flying bullets. As early as the beginning of the year, when Cao Cao made a speech to the world, Dong Zhuo already knew about it. He immediately mobilized troops and horses to set up defenses in the Hulao Pass area. Of course, the focus was Hulao Pass.
.
"Prime Minister, the Kwantung Allied Forces are said to be 400,000, but in fact they are only about 200,000. The only elite troops are Sun Jian and Liu Lin's troops. Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's troops are a bunch of rubbish. As long as we concentrate our forces, we will be able to
After the generals Liu Lin and Sun Jian's troops were wiped out, these rebels will naturally disappear!" The speaker was Li Ru, who has now been appointed as Lang Zhongling, and Dong Zhuo usually leaves government affairs to him!
After Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo did not speak, but his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was listening carefully to Li Ru's words. In fact, Dong Zhuo was wandering in his mind? Ever since Dong Zhuo slept with Queen Mother He, Dong Zhuo began to be crazy about the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother He, even though Queen Mother He was over thirty years old, she was well-maintained. Coupled with her status as Queen Mother He, Dong Zhuo felt a strong sense of conquest every time, especially the humiliation of Queen Mother He's crotch.
, the deliberate flattery gave Dong Zhuo a different flavor, which other women could not bring to Dong Zhuo!
Thinking back to the slutty Empress Dowager He's behavior on the bed last night, Dong Zhuo's heart surged. How could he be in the mood to listen to Li Ru's words at this moment? Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo didn't express his position on what he just said. He glanced at Dong Zhuo and sighed secretly in his heart.
After taking a breath, he said loudly: "Prime Minister!" "Ah?" Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up in shock. He saw everyone in the hall looking at him. Thinking about his gaffe just now, he felt a little dissatisfied.
An angry look appeared on his face, "Wenyou, what happened? You made such a loud voice?" Although he didn't curse, his tone was already very rude!
Li Su on the side felt secretly happy when he saw Dong Zhuo treating Li Ru like this. Li Ru did not expect that Dong Zhuo would be like this. But now that the Kwantung Allied Forces have sent troops, although this so-called coalition army is in disarray, if it is not handled properly, say
Maybe they would be in danger! He suppressed Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction with him and bowed: "Prime Minister, now that the coalition forces have formed an alliance and they have sent out troops, we must prepare immediately, just in case!"
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru sideways and saw that although Li Ru's expression was a bit unnatural, he had not yet expressed his dissatisfaction with him, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand, by the way, what did you discuss just now?
"
Before Li Ru could speak, Li Su stepped forward and bowed and said: "Just now, Master Li suggested that we concentrate our forces to destroy Liu Lin and Sun Jian's troops first. Once these two troops are destroyed, the rest of the coalition forces will be in disarray.
It’s not enough to be afraid of!” Dong Zhuo nodded after hearing this and said, “It makes sense, but do you think you are overestimating these two people? The Liu family boy has not been weaned yet? Now he is about the same age as the emperor, right?
Just look at the emperor and you will know how capable that kid from the Liu family is. As for Sun Jian? A prefect of another county, with a group of reckless people under his command, would dare to fight with my Xiliang cavalry after killing a few river thieves.
It seems he is impatient!"
Dong Zhuo's meaning was very obvious. He looked down upon Liu Lin and Sun Jian at all. When Li Ru heard this, he said anxiously: "Prime Minister, please don't underestimate these two people. Liu Lin just defeated Wuhuan not long ago, and his morale is strong, and Sun Jian
He also wiped out countless river thieves, which were well-known in the Jingzhou area. On the contrary, the other allied forces were just mediocre people. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were considered heroes, most of their armies had never fought before. A group of
How much combat power can soldiers who have never fought in a war exert?" Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo thought Li Ru's words were good and said, "Okay, let's do what you want and order Hu Zhen to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Guandu!
"After saying this, he looked around at everyone, and Lu Bu showed a trace of expectation on his face. However, Dong Zhuo glanced at Lu Bu's face, stared directly at Li Su and said, "You have made a lot of contributions by my side, so I will give you one today.
If you have the opportunity, lead 30,000 troops to Yangwu and cooperate with Dong Yue to retrieve Liu Lin's head for me!" When Li Su heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Lu Bu looked at the joy on Li Su's face, and there was a trace of imperceptible displeasure on his face. Dong Zhuo had given the order, so he ignored everyone and walked straight out of the hall. When Li Ru saw him, he quickly asked: "Xiangguo, what's the matter?
?" Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "Now that I have mobilized troops, of course I have to go into the palace and report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!" When Li Ru and others heard this, they were stunned for a while, and then an ambiguous smile appeared on their faces. Lu Bu was too lazy to pay attention to this.
He quickly strode out and followed Dong Zhuo, while Li Ru had an imperceptible hint of despair in his eyes!
Li Su next to him gently patted Li Ru's shoulder, sighed and said: "Wen You, why are you doing this? We can just handle the matters arranged by the Prime Minister. As for other matters, it is not our responsibility.
We can't control it!" After saying that, without waiting for Li Ru to speak, he staggered out of the hall, humming a tune he learned from some concubine, which made Li Ru's face show a trace of contempt.
!
Dong Zhuo gave an order here, and the troops there had been assembled. This fully demonstrated the sharpness of the Xiliang soldiers. Tens of thousands of troops marched out of Luoyang City and rushed to the front line. At this moment, many knights appeared at the four gates of Luoyang City.
Run out and go everywhere.
Liu Lin was marching towards Yangwu with his army. On the way, a sergeant rode on horseback and handed Guo Jia a small bamboo tube. Guo Jia saw it and knew it was news from Luoyang, so he quickly handed it to Liu Lin. Liu Lin opened the note inside the bamboo tube with a face.
With a trace of heaviness on his face, he handed the note to Guo Jiadao: "Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to send 30,000 troops to garrison Yangwu, and Hu Zhen sent 30,000 troops to garrison Guandu. Apart from that, there were no other troop movements! It seems that Dong Zhuo wanted to
Destroy us first!" Guo Jia read the note and handed it to Chen Gong and Xun You. After they read it, he handed it to the clerk's office, which is responsible for the preservation of confidential documents for future verification of intelligence! This
It was invented by Liu Lin!
"It is exactly what my lord said. Yangwu originally had an army of 20,000 people. Now that we add the 30,000 people led by Li Su, Yangwu will have 50,000 troops. This is really a huge pressure on our army.
!" Guo Jia sighed, and Chen Gong also sighed and said: "This Yuan Shaote is not a thing, and now he actually ordered the army to be stationed in Suanzao, leaving us to fight. Having this leader is really a blessing to our army!"
