After Hua Xiong led his troops to retreat to Liang County, he immediately sent people to ask Dong Zhuo for help.

Not long after Huaxiong's messenger left Liang County, Sun Jian also led his troops to a place a hundred miles outside Liang County and stationed there.

After Hua Xiong in the city learned that Sun Jian led his troops to arrive, he learned the previous lesson, but closed the city gate and never went out of the city to face the battle again.

Sun Jian saw that Hua Xiong didn't dare to go out of the city to attack at night, so he immediately let his subordinates rest for a good night.

Following.

Only then did Sun Jian take his subordinates to the city of Liangxian County.

Immediately after, Sun Jian raised his knife and shouted: "Huaxiong Pifu, why can't you go out today?" Are you afraid of me, Sun Jian? If you have the guts, give me out and fight me for another three hundred rounds. ”

Hearing Sun Jian's shout, Hua Xiong also came to the city and replied: "Sun Wentai, if you have the ability, you will come to attack the city!" Am I, Huaxiong, still afraid of you? ”

Seeing that Hua Xiong was not fooled, Sun Jian began to scold.

After hearing Sun Jian's foul language, although Hua Xiong's heart exploded, he still couldn't help but not open the city to face the battle, because Liang County is the last checkpoint to Luoyang, once Sun Jian takes Liang County, Sun Jian's road to Luoyang will be a flat river.

When Sun Jian saw that no matter how much he scolded, he couldn't force Huaxiong out of Liang County, he finally gave up the idea of luring Huaxiong out of the city.

Subsequently, Sun Jian immediately led his troops back to the camp, and at the same time wrote a letter to Yuan Shu, asking him to lead his troops from Luyang to Liang County to join him.

Because both Huaxiong and Sun Jian wrote letters asking for help, they reached a stalemate in Liang County.

A few days later, when Hua Xiong's letter for help was delivered to Dong Zhuo in the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo summoned Li Ru in shock.

After Li Ru was summoned by Dong Zhuo, he immediately hurried to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing Li Ru coming, Dong Zhuo immediately said to him: "Wenyou, something is wrong in the south. ”

"Lord, what's going on with General Hua?"

"Sun Jian broke through the Yique Pass a few days ago, and killed the deputy general Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong is now guarding Liang County with the remnants of the army, once Sun Jian breaks through Liang County, the south side of Luoyang is a horse Pingchuan."

"What? The situation is so critical! ”

"Yes! I didn't expect Sun Wentai to join the allies, I thought that I went to Liangzhou with Sun Wentai to quell the rebellion, and his opinions were not bad with mine, but unfortunately Zhou Shen, Zhang Wen and others did not understand military affairs, so the Liangzhou rebellion was not quelled for a long time. ”

"Wen You, now that Yique Pass has been lost, how should I deal with it next?"

"Lord, although Yique Pass has been lost, but Liang County is still there, at this time we should quickly send troops to help General Hua, and at the same time send an envoy to negotiate peace with Sun Jian, if Sun Jian agrees to peace talks, we will have one less big enemy, if Sun Jian is unwilling to negotiate peace, General Hua can also protect Liang County without worry."

"Okay, just do it, I'll order Xu Rong to lead 8,000 troops to reinforcements."

"As for the envoy to Sun Jian, I'll hand it over to you, Wen You."

"The minister must do his best to convince Sun Jian."

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo asked Xu Rong to lead 8,000 troops from Hugao Pass to Liang County for reinforcements.

At the same time, Li Ru also went out with the army and prepared to send Sun Jian.

Then transfer to Luyang County.

After Yuan Shu received Sun Jian's letter, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss whether to send troops to support Sun Jian.

At this time, someone said: "Lord, Sun Jian defeated the Xiliang army, its troops are in full swing, if we go to support, how can Sun Jian put the lord in his eyes, if he helps him take Luoyang, Sun Jian will be difficult to restrain after Luoyang develops his power, won't we get rid of a wolf and add a tiger?" The minister thought that not only should we not support, but also should cut off Sun Jian's military rations. ”

Yuan Shu immediately pondered after hearing these words.

After a while, Yuan Shu immediately agreed to the suggestion of not sending troops and cutting off Sun Jian's military rations.

A few more days passed.

Li Ru followed Xu Rong's reinforcements and finally came to a place one hundred and fifty miles east of Liang County and stopped.

When the army was repairing in place, Li Ru came to Xu Rong's body and said to him: "General Xu, you and lead your troops to stay here temporarily, I will first send Sun Jian's camp to explore Sun Jian's tone, if Sun Jian is unwilling to negotiate peace, it will not be too late for you to send troops, otherwise, it will be meaningless for me to go to the envoy." ”

"The last general understands, Lord Li wants to salute first and then soldier!"

"It's good that General Xu understands! You give me fifty guards, and I'll go to Sun Jian's camp now." ”

After Xu Rong heard this, he immediately dialed fifty strong soldiers and handed them over to Li Ru.

Li Ru then took fifty soldiers and headed towards Sun Jian's camp.

When they came to the outside of Sun Jian's camp, all the people under Sun Jian's command were ready to face the battle, because the fifty soldiers behind Li Ru were too easy to identify, and they were all wearing the armor of the Xiliang Army.

Seeing that Sun Jian's subordinates were facing a great enemy, Li Ru immediately said loudly: "When you go to report to your lord, you will say that Li Ru of Xiliang has come to visit." After hearing Li Ru's words, a soldier immediately returned to the camp to report.

When Sun Jian learned that Li Ru had come with fifty people, he immediately thought to himself: 'Isn't this Li Ru a close minister next to Dong Zhuo?' How did he come here? ’

Sun Jian, who couldn't figure it out, immediately asked the soldiers to wait and bring Li Ru to see him.

At the same time, Sun Jian also summoned Huang Gai, Han Dang and Cheng Pu under his command.

Immediately after, Sun Jian asked the soldiers to bring an oil pot and put it at the door of the handsome tent.

After the oil pot was arranged, Sun Jian once again ordered the fifty soldiers to set up a knife formation outside the camp.

After everything was ready, the soldiers who came to report returned to the camp and said to Li Ru: "Mr. Li, my lord is invited!" ”

After Li Ru heard this, he ordered his fifty soldiers to stay outside the camp and wait, and he entered Sun Jian's camp alone.

When the soldiers who led the way came to Sun Jianshuai's tent, Li Ru immediately saw the knife array and oil pot prepared by Sun Jian.

Seeing this, Li Ru walked between the two rows of soldiers with swords without fear.

Sun Jian, who was sitting on the main seat, saw that Li Ru was quite bold, and he suddenly admired Li Ru a little.

After bypassing the oil pot, Li Ru finally entered the tent and saluted Sun Jian, and then said, "Foreign Minister Li Ru pays a visit to General Poyu. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian asked straight to the point: "Li Ru, why did Dong Zhuo send you here?" ”

"General Po, the foreign minister is here to bring you good news."

"Oh? What do I like? ”

"My lord and the general went to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, he appreciated the general's talent at that time, and wanted to marry the general Qin and Jin, but unfortunately the general was later reappointed, my lord's wish failed to come true, now the general responded to Yuan Shao's call to crusade against my lord, my lord cherishes the general's talent and does not want to be the enemy of the general, and specially sent me to persuade the general to withdraw the army, and let the two families achieve the good of Qin and Jin."

"Hahaha! Li Ru, Dong Thief is rebellious, if he doesn't punish his three clans and show the whole country, I won't be blind to death, do you think I will make peace with him? ”

"General, are you going to insist on being an enemy of my lord?"

"Li Ru, you don't have to say anything more! If it weren't for the fact that no one went back to give revenge to Dong Thief, would have cut you down right now, believe it or not. ”

Hearing Sun Jian's words, the two platoons of soldiers outside the camp immediately put their knives up.

Seeing this, Li Ru knew that he couldn't continue, so he had to salute helplessly, and then said: "Since the general has no intention, then I have nothing to say, and the foreign minister will retire." ”

Immediately, Li Ru walked towards the knife array.

When Sun Jian saw this, he immediately waved his hand and motioned for the soldier to put away the knife.

Li Ru left Sun Jian's handsome tent in this way.
