In the meeting hall in Xianyang City, Li Dao sat on the main seat. In addition, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Zang Ba and other Dong Zhuo remnants gathered together, and everyone's face was hung with a cloud of sadness that was difficult to dissipate.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, the five major generals have set up their own doors and divided one side, and the Xiliang Army system has also collapsed. However, as early as a few days ago, after receiving the news of Liu Xie's personal expedition, the five army generals of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Zang Ba could only quickly assemble under Hangu Pass.

"The imperial court is now raising hundreds of thousands of troops to attack us, how do you think we should solve it?" Li Wei, who was sitting in the center of the main hall, said with a frowning face.

"The prime minister is dead, and the little emperor has mobilized the whole country to attack us. If this situation is not properly settled, we will only have a dead end. Guo Yan said very seriously.

"When the prince drove today, he has overwhelmed us from the momentum. If we use force against the imperial army, we will definitely fall into an endless situation with the imperial court, and once the war falls into a stalemate, the final result can only be a crushing defeat. ”

"I think we should send an envoy to contact the Son of Heaven to negotiate peace, after all, the culprit of the rebellion was Dong Zhuo, not us. Now that the culprit is dead, the imperial court will also agree to negotiate peace with us in order to appease the situation in Liangzhou. With a look of hesitation on his face, Zhang Ji looked at everyone and persuaded him.

"Zhang Ji, are you going to drag us to die together?"

"Regardless of Dong Xiangguo's kindness to us, just by virtue of our actions of setting foot in Luoyang, kidnapping the Son of Heaven, and trampling on the prestige of the Han family, do you think the little emperor will let us go?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Ji's words fell, Guo Yan and others scolded angrily, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with Zhang Ji's remarks.

"The so-called Son of Heaven is just a yellow-mouthed child. We are all famous generals of Xiliang who have experienced a hundred battles, how can we panic here like women and children, and it is not an insult to the name of Xiangguo to spread it. Hearing Guo Yan's words, Fan Chou immediately asked in a contemptuous tone.

"The little emperor is bold in killing, he is by no means the incompetent child back then, his thoughts are far far-reaching beyond ordinary people, and he must not be underestimated, otherwise it will definitely be a catastrophe. Dong Xiangguo has learned from the past, we can't follow in his footsteps!" Zhang Ji was also tactful, and there was a little more mediation in his words, and he persuaded again.

"Okay, now that the situation is going on, we have to work together to fight against the imperial army, and we definitely can't have a scene of fighting in the same room at this time. Li Dao spoke again, and there was a hint of warning in his words.

"You've all transferred your soldiers and horses, right?" asked Li Dao.

"We have already transferred all the soldiers and horses from our headquarters, and even the Tuntian soldiers from various counties and counties have also been transferred, a total of 100,000 people. ”

"The emperor is far away, and many of the soldiers have foreign blood, the Son of Heaven is too slim for them, and their loyalty naturally does not need to be worried. As soon as the imperial army arrives, you can send troops to deploy and be at the mercy of us. Guo Yan and others replied.

"According to the report of the spies, the imperial court has a large army of 170,000 this time, and the number of our soldiers and horses adds up to 180,000, which is 10,000 more than the imperial court. In this respect, we have a better chance of winning. ”

"In terms of topography, there is the natural danger shelter of Hangu Pass, the first pass in the world, we just need to stick to the city pass and quietly plan for change. In addition, the distance is long, and it is difficult to run grain and grass. The Han Dynasty is again in a situation where the heroes are divided, and the grain and grass that can really be sent to the front of the camp are limited. ”

"When the little emperor's food runs out, we will naturally have the opportunity to counterattack. Li Wei's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

"Yes, General Li is right, as long as we unite as one and stick to Hangu Pass, no matter how many people the little emperor comes, it will be impossible to break through my Hangu Pass. Zang Ba echoed.

However, Zhang Ji, who had been persuaded just now, looked insincere, and there was a touch of strangeness in his eyes, as if he had other intentions. Of course, this small change was not seen by everyone present.

"Although General Li has already laid out a strategy to deal with the enemy, but Lu Bu is now loyal to the Son of Heaven, with Lu Bu's bravery, we are afraid that no one can defeat him?" Guo Yan said with a slight mockery.

"Why does General Guo need to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?" Li Wei glared at Guo Yan with some displeasure when he heard this.

"Although Lu Bu is strong, after all, he is only one person! We have 180,000 soldiers and horses, and we are also guarded by Hangu Pass, even if Lu Bu has the courage of ten thousand people? Can he alone break through the defense of my Hangu Pass?"

Besides, Zhang Xiu, the nephew of General Zhang, has excellent marksmanship, and has the courage of thousands of invincibles, so he can't fight with Lu Bu. I believe that against the imperial army, a miracle will definitely be established. Li Dao boasted as if encouragingly.

"That's right, General Zhang's nephew, is the dragon and phoenix among the people, known as the 'Gun King of the North', to help us defeat the imperial court and kill the little emperor, this battle against Lu Bu will definitely be famous all over the world, and it is not impossible to become a famous general of the generation in history at that time...... Several people in the hall echoed and praised.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be...... We are now grasshoppers on a rope, and we should support each other. If my nephew is needed to fight, we will not shirk it. Zhang Ji smiled and took the flattery very naturally.

"I won't say anything superfluous, in short, if we don't go to war with the court this time, we will only have a dead end. Li Wei's eyes were shining with cold light, and he had already decided to start a war with Liu Xie and fight to the death.
