"Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, I order you two to lead an army of 100,000 to guard the dangerous points in Luoyang!"
"No! The general will take your orders!"
"Li Jue and Guo Si, you two will lead an army of 100,000 to guard Hangu Pass. If Han Sui dares to do anything wrong in the slightest, you two can directly lead an army to kill him!"
Dong Zhuo ordered harshly.
"Promise! I will obey your orders!" Li Jue and Guo Si quickly bowed and responded.
It has to be said that at this time, Dong Zhuo was still a tycoon and a hero, but later on, when he returned to Chang'an, he immediately became decadent.
The decadent speed is astonishing.
Seeing that many generals had tasks, but Lu Bu didn't, Lu Bu suddenly became a little anxious.
"Haha! Don't be anxious, my son. When you make great achievements, the Prime Minister will go to Hulao Pass in person in the future. I want to see how those rats from Guandong come to attack me."
"When the time comes, it will be time for you, my son, to fight."
Dong Zhuo seemed to see Lu Bu's eagerness, so he immediately spoke to comfort him.
After hearing Dong Zhuo's comfort, Lu Bu knew that was all, and could only wait.
At this moment, a guard suddenly came hurriedly from outside the door, came to Li Ru's side, and whispered a few words to him.
"Wenyou, what's going on?"
Seeing some changes in Li Ru's face, Dong Zhuo also became interested. He rarely saw such changes in Li Ru's face.
Many generals present also focused their attention on Li Ru.
"The Prime Minister is like this. A big event happened at the east gate today!" Li Ru took a deep look at Li Jue and then said.
"Oh! What happened?"
"Today, a young man on horseback came to the east gate. He was challenged by the soldiers guarding the city gate. There was a conflict over the opponent's mount. In the end, even Li Su and his army were dispatched."
After Li Ru finished speaking, he glanced at Li Jue again.
Hearing Li Ru talk about Li Su, Li Jue immediately understood why he said that their military advisor looked at him honestly because his son was present.
"Li Su, that's Li Jue, your son!"
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment, then looked at Li Jue and said.
"You are naughty, please forgive me, Prime Minister." Li Jue saw Dong Zhuo's gaze and quickly bent down to apologize.
"Okay, Wen You hasn't finished speaking yet. Please plead guilty to your son. How do you know it must be your son's fault?"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand jokingly and asked Li Jue to stand up.
"Wenyou, keep talking."
"Yes, Lord Xiangguo"
"According to the report of the soldier guarding the gate, Li Su had a conflict with the young man over the horse, and then a war broke out."
"Is the mount a good horse?" Dong Zhuo murmured. He knew that his Xiliang cavalry was not short of horses.
The mounts of those military generals are also high-quality horses, and Li Su is a cavalry commander, so of course the same is true.
If he hadn't met a good horse, Li Su wouldn't have become greedy.
"Xiang Guo's guess is good. According to the people below, it is indeed a top-quality horse," Li Ru replied.
"Oh, is it so!"
All the generals present immediately started to stir, with fiery expressions on their faces. Of course, Lu Bu looked calm.
Because he already has a peerless horse, Red Rabbit, he doesn't think there is any mount in the world that can compare to the Red Rabbit he sat on.
"Zhiran, your boy is quite good. Let him bring me the good horse tomorrow."
In order to win over Lü Bu, Dong Zhuo gave up his favorite horse, the red rabbit, to Lü Bu. After that, he no longer had any good horses.
As a military general, Dong Zhuo was also a lover of horses, so now that he heard about a top-quality horse, he naturally wanted to take it as his own.
"Yes, yes, after the general returns, I will immediately ask my son to bring a good horse to the prime minister." Li Jue quickly lowered his head and agreed.
"Haha! Don't worry, I will not let him suffer." Seeing this, Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed.
"Ahem!"
But at this moment, Li Ru suddenly pretended to cough a few times, which immediately attracted Dong Zhuo and the others.
"Wen You, why are you coughing and contracting the cold?" Dong Zhuo's expression changed slightly and he greeted quickly. He was still very concerned about Li Ru.
Because he knew that his military advisor played a huge role in the reason why he could have such great power.
Li Ru's status in his heart was obviously higher than anyone present.
"It's okay, Prime Minister." Seeing Dong Zhuo's worried expression, Li Ru felt a little warm in his heart.
"However, Prime Minister, I am afraid that even General Li will not be able to get the good horse you want."
Li Ru looked at Li Jue with deep meaning and said.
"If you can't get it out, how dare Li Su, the prime minister, refuse to give it if the country wants it?" Dong Zhuo suddenly said with a fierce look.
"Prime Minister, please calm down. The general will definitely bring a good horse for the Prime Minister. If you don't give it to me, I will break his legs."
Seeing Dong Zhuo's fierce look, Li Jue was immediately startled and explained quickly. At the same time, he glared at Li Ru repeatedly, which meant, "Military advisor, why are you always attacking me? I didn't provoke you!"
"Haha! Xiangguo, listen to what I have to say."
Seeing the expressions on Li Jue and Dong Zhuo's faces, Li Ru immediately understood that they had misunderstood.
"Prime Minister, what the soldiers guarding the city gate said, Li Su didn't take that good horse away at all."
"What? Didn't you take it away?"
"good!"
Li Ru nodded, and said with an obviously incomprehensible look: "Because that mysterious young man was so powerful, Li Su and his thousand cavalry were all defeated by him before even having a cup of tea.
Lying on the ground, the other party entered the city gracefully."
"What? Wenyou, are you telling the truth?"
Dong Zhuo was also shocked for a moment. With one against a thousand, he could still defeat them in battle, and even remained intact. With such fighting power, Dong Zhuo instantly thought of Lu Bu and Hua Xiong.
In his group, these two can fight one against a thousand, and of course Lu Bu can fight against ten thousand.
In an instant, Dong Zhuo thought of recruiting this person to his command. He would not turn a blind eye to a powerful general or any prince.
In his previous actions, he may not be a great general with amazing combat power. Who can compare with his Xiliang cavalry?
But it was worth it during the battle between Luoyang and Ding Yuan. Lu Bu taught him a vivid lesson. No one should underestimate the power of top generals.
After that, Dong Zhuo also changed his views on those top generals. From Hua Xiong's rising status in the army, we can see Dong Zhuo's change in thinking.
Although the former Hua Xiong could become the number one general in Xiliang, his status in the Xiliang army was not very high.
Not to mention that he is not comparable to Li Jue and Guo Si, he is even inferior to Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.
But now, Hua Xiong's status in the army is different. Dong Zhuo's reliance on him can be seen from Dong Zhuo's order just now for Hua Xiong to guard Sishui Pass.
Xu Rong, the other guarding Hulao Pass, can be said to be the veritable number one general in Xiliang.
This can be seen from the fact that Dong Zhuo asked him to guard Hulao Pass, and later asked him to return to Xiliang to guard Xiliang. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo relied on him the most. He started as a soldier in Xiliang and became a general step by step.
