On June 16, 191 AD, Zhao Feng held high the banner of righteousness, called on the righteous people of the world, raised troops to defeat Dong thieves, and set up a large camp in Lishi, Xihe County, Bingzhou.

Under the proclamation, a month has passed, and there are still only two people from Shi Daying, Han Sui and Ma Teng's 4,000 Xiliang troops, as well as Zhao Feng's iron-blooded army and Yuejia army's 10,000 soldiers.

Although it doesn't look very good, but this spark of the spark made Dong Zhuo restless, originally with a calculation, let Han Sui and Zhao Feng fight, cut off Beidi County by themselves, kill two birds with one stone, don't think, stealing chickens and rice, but let them form an alliance and launch a counterattack against themselves.

Dong Zhuo sat on the top seat, looked at Li Ru with a worried expression, and asked, "Wenyou, can you have a strategy to deal with the enemy." ”

Li Ru rolled his eyes and replied: "Lord, according to the report of Tanma, there are only more than 10,000 people in this gang of thieves, and you only need to send a general to garrison Xiaoguan and defend the moon, when the enemy army has no food, it will naturally retreat, but ......"

"But what?"

Dong Zhuo asked urgently.

Li Ru replied in a deep voice: "But there is one thing right now, but it is very tricky. ”

"What?"

Dong Zhuo said impatiently.

"Recently, it has been rumored in Chang'an that Jizhou Yuan originally wanted to establish Liu Dai, the ancestor of the Han family, as the emperor, and now he has built a lot of construction in Yecheng.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, slowly stood up, walked back and forth in the hall, and said after a while: "The second court must not be allowed to appear in this world, Wen You, no matter what, you must stop this matter." ”

Compared with the rebels in Lishi, this really made Dong Zhuo feel uneasy, once Yuan Shao succeeded, when the time came, the Han Emperor who controlled him would be useless.

Dong Zhuo is not afraid that the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty will be divided, the more chaotic the more beneficial it will be for him, he can ease his breath and break them one by one, but if he really sets up another court, with the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, within half a year, I am afraid that the world will really change its flag.

"Lord, now that we are trapped in the pass, if we want to attack with strong troops, it is extremely unfavorable, and the only way to restrain Yuan Shao is to borrow the hands of others."

Li Ru admonished.

"Will the plan be released?"

Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru thought about it for a while, and then spoke: "If you want to curb Yuan Shao, you can only put out the fire near the water, Gongsun Chan of Youzhou, Cao Cao of Dongjun, and Zhao Feng of Bingzhou are the closest, but Gongsun Chan and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are old, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rebel, only Zhao Feng is the only person, the lord can maneuver from it, and may be able to use it for us." ”

"Zhao Feng!"

Dong Zhuo sighed, he was sent to Dingxiang County to fend for himself, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this little wolf cub not only did not die, but also became a blood-devouring head wolf, and there was a group of howling wild wolves under his hands.

"Not bad!"

Li Ru explained: "Lord, Zhao Feng's family background is not obvious, and there is no family support, he chases the Huns, breaks Xianbei, seems to be in the Han Dynasty, but in fact he is ambitious, with the intention of being self-reliant in the state, this time he came to raise troops to fight, but it is just to take advantage of the situation, the intention is to unify and merge the state, why not push the boat down the river, in the name of the Son of Heaven, reward him greatly, let him serve as the assassin of the state, when the time comes, Yuan Benchu will be incompatible, between the two tigers, either you die, or I die." ”

Dong Zhuo paused for a moment, and looked at Li Ru without turning his eyes, if he really let Zhao Feng, the wolf butcher, serve as the assassin of Bingzhou, where would he go in the future.

"Wen You, I'm afraid that this is another tiger breeding!"

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice, with mixed feelings in his heart, when he was defeated in Luoyang and retreated to Chang'an, he should have trampled this person to death under his feet, and now he has lost the opportunity.

Li Ru replied: "Lord, the general trend of the world, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Yu and others, is more difficult to control than Zhao Feng, now we only have captivity to fight the weak, to fight against strong enemies, after three or five years, the grain and grass in the pass are sufficient, in the customs to attack the world, what is the difficulty." ”

After Dong Zhuo retreated from Luoyang, the soldiers and horses were greatly discounted, and it was really not easy to raise a large army to attack, so he should recuperate and recuperate, in case he would come out one day and be proud of the world.

"I see!"

Dong Zhuo felt deeply at this time, and then ordered: "This matter will be handed over to you, and when Your Majesty's edict comes out, you can let Wang Yun go to Lishi, this old guy, I'm afraid I can't wait for Zhao Feng to assassinate the history of Bingzhou." ”

"My lord, Wang Yun is a thief, it's too early to ask for the guilt, and most of the old ministers in the court and the central government regard him as the party, so they can only stabilize it first."

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo nodded.

……

In Chang'an City, in an ordinary tavern, in the deepest side room, there was a person sitting at the front of the table, it was Lu Xiufu.

"My lord, what you commanded has been done, and now the storm is all over the city, and everyone knows it."

A person dressed as a shopkeeper said to Lu Xiufu.

"Good!"

Lu Xiufu responded, and then said: "When I came to Chang'an on this trip, the lord made it clear to me again and again, let me tell you, although you did not go into battle to kill the enemy, did not shed blood and cut off your head, but you were in the belly of the enemy, day and night to find out the news, great credit to him, in the future, you will not forget, willing to give a thousand gold as a gift." ”

"General Daen, I'll be unforgettable!"

Xiao Er shook in the northwest direction, and then replied: "My lord, I am a prisoner on death row, and it stands to reason that I should be beheaded, if it is not for the general to forgive us, I am afraid that I will be dead at this time, so please go back and tell the general that the twenty-four brothers in Chang'an City will not betray the general." ”

The twenty-four people who were sent to Chang'an by Zhao Feng with a heavy task were all death row prisoners who were imprisoned in the Shanwu County Prison, and they all thought that they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that only after Zhao Feng entered Dingxiang County, he changed the norm, and all the people who committed crimes as long as they were not heinous and guilty were retried, so those who were originally guilty of capital crimes became forced labor, and these twenty-four people were lonely and helpless people who were screened out after a lot of training, and they were sent to Chang'an to engage in it.

"Hmm!"

Lu Xiufu nodded, took out another package, and said: "This is the salary prepared by the lord for you, he said, if it is not enough, you can send someone back to get it, so that you can eat well, use it well, and don't suffer yourself." ”

Xiao Er's tears were in his eyes, and he was greatly moved, and said, "My lord, how can this be made, I can't stand it." ”

Lu Xiufu got up and said solemnly: "In the past, there were thousands of dollars to buy horse bones, and now there are princesses and daughters of the army. ”

After Lu Xiufu finished speaking, he turned around and left, his purpose for this trip has been completed, that is, to come to Chang'an to create an atmosphere, let the small actions behind Yuan Shao be publicized, so that Zhao Feng can benefit from it, take advantage of the situation, and unify the state.

As for Yuan Shao, he is still in the clouds, and he has become Zhao Feng's stepping stone, these days, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, whoever seizes the opportunity first will have the right to speak.
