After Xu Rong's army defeated Sun Jian, the good news immediately spread to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and said to Liu Ai, the long history: "The princes of Kwantung regard him as a child, but Sun Jian is the only one who is quite capable of employing people, and he should have told the generals to let them be on guard as soon as possible." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBack then, when Lone and Sun Jian followed Zhang Wen to capture the side chapter, only Sun Jian and I had similar opinions, but unfortunately Zhang Wen couldn't use it. ”

Dong Zhuo once went to pacify Xiliang with General Zhou Shen. At that time, the leaders of the Xiliang area, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others made trouble. General Zhou Shen besieged the rebels in the Jincheng area. Dong Zhuo suggested that Zhang Wen, the commander of the whole army, should lead his own troops as Zhou Shen's backup and quickly defeat the rebels with a strong force. It's a pity that Zhang Wen has long had a prejudice against Dong Zhuo, where is he willing to let Dong Zhuo make meritorious contributions. What's more, Zhou Shen had already led 30,000 people, and the troops were above the rebels, so Zhang Wen did not listen. Later, Zhang Wen sent Dong Zhuo to quell other rebel forces, thinking that Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others could be quickly pacified. However, Dong Zhuo thought that Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others were good at commanding the army, and it was difficult to pacify, but they couldn't help but obey Zhang Wen's orders, so they had no choice but to lead the army to defense. Dong Zhuo also deliberately left his subordinate general Liu Jing to lead an army of 4,000 people to garrison the Anding area. Dong Zhuo instructed Liu Jing: Tree more banners, so that the enemy does not know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city. Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others didn't know that Dong Zhuo's main force had gone away, and they thought that there were tens of thousands of people stationed in Anding, so Zhou Shen was able to barely support it. Dong Zhuo quickly pacified the other rebel troops, quickly returned to the division to settle down, and once again asked the commander Zhang Wen for reinforcements of General Zhou Shen, but still did not approve. At that time, Sun Jian was under the subordinates of General Zhou Shen, and Sun Jian believed that Bian Zhang and Han Sui had been guarding Jincheng for many days, and there must be a shortage of food in the city. If Bian Zhang and others want to survive, they must transport grain from outside. Sun Jian asked Zhou Shen to divide 10,000 troops and cut off the enemy's food routes under his own leadership, so that the rebels would inevitably dare not fight because of hunger, and they might be completely annihilated, or at least they would suffer heavy casualties. Liangzhou can be stabilized. It's a pity that Zhou Shen thought that he had an advantage in terms of troops, and the supplies were sufficient, so he insisted on breaking the city head-on, but as a result, Bian Zhanghan attacked in two ways, cutting off the grain route of the official army, resulting in a great defeat of the official army.

Liu Ai listened to it and said in agreement: "Sun Jian is indeed fierce, but from the perspective of his subordinates, this person is only in his thirties after all, and he acts impulsively and recklessly, how can he compare with Lord Xiangguo?" ”

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and smiled: "Young, who didn't come over like this?" Back then, he was several times more reckless than this Sun Jian, so he has always been unseen by the people in the court. ”

Liu Ai was in a cold sweat, although Dong Zhuo was in a good mood at this time, he understood that Dong Zhuo was a person, as long as he said the wrong word, he was very likely to anger him, and he would be scolded at least and ...... It is also possible to lose your life. So when the topic turned to this, he was shocked: he used to be an official who was attached to He Jin, and to be honest, he really looked down on Dong Zhuo, who was born in the border and was a military general.

Liu Ai's mind was quick, and he hurriedly brought the topic over: "Now that Sun Jian has been repelled by General Xu Rong, it can be seen that Sun Jian is just a little resourceful, and he is not as good as General Xu Rong in leading troops, and even less as Li Dao, Guo Yan (Guo Duo has changed his name to Guo Yan at this time) and other famous generals, adults can rest assured, your subordinates think that even if Sun Jian dies, he will not do much." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, at least this is pleasing to the ear, he likes to listen to it. Immediately, he stood up and summoned the messenger:

"Chuan Gu's order, all lines of troops, pay close attention to Sun Jian's movements, and be ready to rush to the aid of Sun Jian's army at any time. Moreover, he ordered Chen Jun to guard Hu Zhen and Zhonglang to Lu Bu, and ordered him to lead the two to ride 5,000 horses, out of the east of Luoyang, to meet Sun Jian! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Ai hurriedly praised: "Lu Bu is brave and incomparable, and his prestige is far and wide in Bingzhou, and General Hu Zhen is a famous general in the Liangzhou army. ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head proudly, his eyes rolled to the bone, and suddenly he said to the herald messenger who was about to retreat:

"By the way, tell General Xu Rong that he should not lead his troops far away, just in the area of Sili, and if he encounters the princes of Shandong, he can let go and attack him. But if you encounter Sun Jian again, don't fight easily, beware of Sun Jian's deception. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Dong Zhuo's command can be described as well-intentioned, although he has recognized Xu Rong as a rare good general, but looking at the two battles of this person, they are both in the type of attack without life, and even completely disregard their own side, judging from the last time Xu Rong imprisoned his nephew Dong Huang privately, Dong Zhuo can not care, but what if it is changed elsewhere? And Sun Jian is good at using soldiers, this time Xu Rong was able to defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop, mainly because Sun Jian first arrived, and the soldiers were tired, and at that time, because he killed Wang Rui, Zhang Shi and others all the way, and merged his subordinates, the people's hearts were not attached. If he meets Sun Jian again, I'm afraid he won't be so lucky, not to mention Xu Rong, Li Dao, and even himself, it is very difficult to fight against Sun Jian, so he especially asked for this, so as not to let Xu Rong chase and fight, and give Sun Jian a chance to turn back.

Before leaving, Hu Zhen glanced at the more than 5,000 foot cavalry, of which less than thirty percent of the men and horses were the Liangzhou army, and most of the rest were the imperial forest army and the merge state army, as well as the newly recruited soldiers. Compared with the soldiers and horses he had brought before, these soldiers were indeed sloppy and vulnerable.

Hu Zhen is arrogant and awe-inspiring, he is a respected veteran in the Liangzhou Army, and in terms of qualifications, he is not even inferior to Dong Zhuo. He has always been accustomed to seeing the neat and tidy Liangzhou elite soldiers, how can he see this batch of miscellaneous troops in his eyes? When the troops were gathered, he summoned all the generals, and after Lu Bu arrived, he swept Lu Bu coldly, and then said:

"In my opinion, these 5,000 men and horses are not in good shape, and the military discipline is not strict. From the perspective of this general, it is better to kill a Qingzhu (meaning a senior general) first, so that the army will be frightened, and the military discipline can be strict! ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was furious: What does Hu Zhen mean by this? Want to cut a young teacher first? Among their group of generals, except for him Hu Zhen is the Taishou of Dongjun, it is he who has the highest position as a lieutenant general, according to this statement, could it be that Hu Zhen wants to kill himself first to establish his authority?

Seeing Hu Zhen's ill-intentioned eyes floating around on him, Lu Bu couldn't help but be a little angry:

"What does Master Hu mean, is it that he is going to kill people now?"

Hu Zhen sneered and asked rhetorically, "How?" Listening to General Lu's tone, could it be that he was dissatisfied with General Ben's proposal? ”

Lu Bu forcibly suppressed his anger and said stiffly: "The last general will not dare, everything is under the orders of Lord Hu." ”

Hu Zhen saw Lu Bu's attitude, and his heart was also full of displeasure: Before this Lu Bu defected to Xiangguo, he was just a small master book, no matter how brave he was? Can you compare to yourself, a figure who has been a general for decades? When he led the troops, he was afraid that this twenty-year-old boy was still in his mother's womb, what qualifications did he have to pose in front of him? still relied on betraying Ding Yuan to get Xiangguo's favor, such a person, even if he fought bravely, he couldn't look down on him.

So, Hu Zhen accentuated his tone: "General Lu, if you are dissatisfied, you can say it." The general could have made it clear that in the event of disobedience to military orders in the future, he would have been punished in accordance with military law. Don't say that it is the father and son of Xiangguo and General Lu Enruo, that is, the son and son of Xiangguo, and they have to obey the orders of the army! ”

From Hu Zhen's words, Lu Bu heard Hu Zhen's contempt for himself, which is tolerable or unbearable! Lu Bu is not a good stubble, he immediately shouted: "My lord really has a clear distinction between public and private, since my lord wants Bu's head so much, you can take it directly, why bother with those cumbersome nonsense?" ”

After speaking, he even stretched his neck, glared angrily, and looked straight at Hu Zhen: "My lord, you can cut it like this!" However, did Xiangguo make you take a holiday? If there is no false feast...... All of you here today can testify to the cloth! I can't let Xiangguo spare you! ”

Lu Bu's sudden anger shocked all the generals present, and Hu Zhen was even more embarrassed, he didn't expect that the threat did not succeed, but forced Lu Bu to break out on the spot, and he did not fake it, originally he said that he wanted to kill the general Liwei, but he also wanted to give Lu Bu a dismount, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to be so impulsive.

Before Hu Zhen could say anything, the surrounding generals all pleaded for Lu Bu: "My lord, before the army moves, it is a bad omen to behead the generals first!" ”

"I hope you will think twice!"

These people are all accustomed to seeing the wind and steering, and now one is Lu Bu, although he is young, he is favored by the country, and his future is promising; Another Hu Zhen is a big man in the Liangzhou army, and this person has always been more resentful, and he must be compared, none of them can afford to provoke him, so he interceded for Lu Bu, ostensibly to intercede for Lu Bu and sell Lu Bu a favor; But in fact, it was also to give Hu Zhen a step down, and he was flattered on both sides.

Hu Zhen could only smile wryly: "Don't be nervous, everyone, it's just a joke, General Lu, don't be angry." ”

Lu Bu also restrained his anger and calmly arched his hand to Hu Zhen: "Fang Caibu's words collided, offended Lord Hu, and I hope Lord Hu will not blame." ”

The conflict between the two finally passed peacefully, but the contradiction arose, Lu Bu resented and Hu Zhen's contempt for himself, precisely because of Lu Bu's previous status, he himself was very confident, thinking that with his own ability, the position of Zhonglang General was impeccable, so if anyone thought that he was promoted by virtue of his close relationship with Dong Zhuo, it could be regarded as touching his scales; And Hu Zhen was also very annoyed by Lu Bu's impulsiveness and not giving him, the "old man" in the Liangzhou army, a little face, originally, Lu Bu's junior, and the Zhonglang general who has suddenly risen in the past few months, is not a descendant of the Liangzhou army, if Lu Bu's attitude is deferential, and he softens a few words at that time, will he still be so tense?

Both of them sulked in private, Lu Bu is a personality who has revenge, and Hu Zhen is also a very grudgeful character, so there are hidden dangers.

At this time, Xu Rongzheng led the army straight to Yangcheng, and after receiving Dong Zhuo's order that "you must not go far, you must not easily fight with Sun Jian", she did not care whether she disobeyed the order or not, and she must kill Yangcheng, which is hundreds of miles away from Luoyang.

During the Battle of Jinbei, she secretly ordered Xinyi to leave and went straight to Yangcheng to find out everything about the princess in Yangcheng.

As long as she can avenge the blood feud for "Dong Xiaoyou" and Biluo and others, then the subordinate relationship with Dong Zhuo will end here, so her disobedience to Dong Zhuo's order this time is nothing at all.
