Even after encountering the betrayal of Yuan Shao and others, leading troops to counterattack, and various small actions of some restless people in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo was still very confident after his self-confidence suffered some blows.
Because he also possesses extremely strong fighting power.
These people, he is not afraid of them.
If they don't drink the toast and are fined with wine, then you can just use your soldiers and horses to kill them.
The result was just as Dong Zhuo expected. Those who wanted to take the lead in Luoyang City were easily wiped out by him.
He spread the word to the world that Yuan Shao, who came to attack him, and the many soldiers and horses he gathered, were also defeated again and again, and they were no match for him!
Faced with such a result, Dong Zhuo was in a very happy mood at first.
Because these facts prove that what he thought before was correct.
The force he holds in his hands can indeed dwarf the heroes.
However, as time slowly progressed and news from all aspects continued to come, the confidence and joy in Dong Zhuo's heart slowly began to fade.
Yuan Shao and others were defeated, but they did not retreat completely. They still stationed their troops and horses in Hanoi and kept moving.
Wanting to wait for an opportunity to attack myself again.
Although Sun Jian was defeated by Ke De in front of Sishui Pass, he did not die and did not lose his will to fight.
After some rest and gathering of troops and horses, he once again led the troops and marched towards Luoyang.
This time, he did not leave from the famous passes such as Surabaya and Hulao.
Instead, they took a long detour from the south and prepared to attack from that side.
Over in Xiliang, Han Sui, who was known as the Nine Bends of the Yellow River, also took this opportunity to become dishonest.
To the north, in Hedong and other places, the Baibo thieves were noisy and already threatening Luoyang.
Niu Fu, a fool, led so many soldiers and horses there, but he was still unable to deal with these thieves with the speed and momentum that was so devastating...
Luoyang seems to be very stable under the control of his powerful army. In fact, there are many people with ulterior motives who want to deal with him.
Sometimes Dong Zhuo himself couldn't quite figure it out. Even though Emperor Ling, a single husband, had already ruined people like that, after he took power, he immediately began to use his methods to share benefits and favors with them, but they still wanted to
To start his own rebellion and protect the Han Dynasty...
This series of events proved to Dong Zhuo that he indeed had the power to dazzle all the heroes in the world and could beat those who came to beat him.
However, it is not easy to make people in the world bow down and to subdue everyone based on this.
He was confident that he could eliminate those who came to fight him and rebel against him, no matter which way they came alone.
But the sad thing is that these people did not come all the way!
Under such circumstances, he was confident that he could block all attacks, but it was not easy to eliminate these guys.
This was the main reason why Dong Zhuo gradually felt irritable.
It can be said that now, Dong Zhuo's mentality has changed somewhat compared to before.
In the past, he thought that if he could obtain such authority, sitting in a position where no one could control him, he could do whatever he wanted and order the world, and no one would dare to disobey him.
However, after a period of time, he finally discovered that what he had thought before was somewhat wrong.
Even if you have such a status, it is still impossible to live your life as you please without daring to disobey!
"...We can't ignore Xiliang! Those guys Han Sui and Ma Teng are very capable of causing trouble.
Once left alone, those guys will be able to turn the world upside down in no time!
We will be attacked from behind!
This is not good news for us here."
Dong Zhuo said with a serious expression.
He himself was a member of the Western Front Army, and he had deeper feelings for XiMian, and would subconsciously regard it as his base camp.
He had always sent people to pay attention to the movements of Han Sui and others in Xiliang.
After receiving the news at this time, Dong Zhuo immediately began to take action.
Moreover, if Han Sui and others are allowed to invade Chang'an Sanfu, his strategic depth will be greatly reduced.
The entire city would be restricted and besieged near Luoyang, which was not a good thing for Dong Zhuo.
"Send an order to Niu Fu, telling him not to deal with the Baibo thieves there, and to break away from the Baibo thieves immediately and lead his troops to Chang'an. Han Sui and others must be blocked to the west of Chang'an!
Guarantee that Chang’an’s third assistant will not be lost!”
Dong Zhuo opened his mouth to convey the order.
"Father-in-law, what should we do with the Baibo thief?
Once all the troops and horses are withdrawn, I am afraid that these thieves will counterattack and approach Luoyang to threaten Luoyang..."
Li Ru, who was standing next to him, quickly reminded him.
Dong Zhuo had also considered this before. When he heard what Li Ru said, he said: "In this case, let one of them, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, lead the troops to stay and contain the Baibo thieves.
Already."
Hearing this, Li Ru thought for a while, nodded, and stopped talking, indicating that he agreed with his father-in-law's arrangement.
Next, when Dong Zhuo was making other arrangements, Li Ru stood aside and remained silent.
After the arrangement was over and there was no one around, Li Ru spoke again.
"Father-in-law, I think there are other things you can do."
Dong Zhuo focused his attention on Li Ru.
Li Ru knew the temper of his father-in-law, so he immediately continued: "I think we should send some envoys to Yuan Shao at this time to discuss with Yuan Shao and let him stop his troops..."
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo sat up slightly straighter.
Seeing this, Li Ru spoke again: "There is a new situation in the west, and troops and horses are being mobilized here in the east of the river. It may attract the attention of Yuan Shao and others.
Maybe they will take advantage of these opportunities to make other moves.
Sending some envoys out to discuss the withdrawal of troops with Yuan Shao and others can greatly attract the attention of Yuan Shao and others and prevent them from paying attention to what is going on there.
This will cause less trouble and be able to concentrate on dispatching troops and horses to deal with Han Sui and others...
Another advantage of doing this is that while containing Yuan Shao and others, it can also create chaos in Yuan Shao.
I think before I came here, these people were also a little hurt from being beaten.
If my father-in-law sends such a person out at this time and conveys such a wish, some people will always be moved.
Regardless of whether we can succeed in the end, as long as we have this kind of intention, it will always be good for us..."
