Not long after Huangfu Song left Chencang, Jingzhao Yin Gaixun led the Chang'an garrison to Chencang.

Knowing that Gai Xun led the army to arrive, Wang Kai immediately went out of the camp to greet Gai Xun.

After Gai Xun saw Wang Kai, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Wang, I wonder if your department is ready to go on the expedition?" ”

"Lord Gai and relax, our soldiers are ready to go."

"That's good, Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital to Chang'an, and we can enter Hanguguan and garrison it on the same day to cut off Dong Zhuo's back road."

"Lord Gai, without further ado, let's set off immediately."

After that, Gai Xun led the 5,000 defenders of Chang'an to join Wang Kai's department.

So far, Wang Kai's troops have reached more than 45,000 people.

With Gai Xun and Wang Kai joining forces, Dong Zhuo's eyeliner arranged in the Sanfu region immediately transmitted the news back to Luoyang City.

When Dong Zhuo learned that Gai Xun led his troops to join forces with Huangfu Song's troops, he immediately understood that Huangfu Song and Gai Xun were planning to send troops in response to the allies.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Those attending the meeting included Li Ru, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong, Duan Xuan and others.

As for Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, he did not show up because he led the army to quell the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Baibo Valley, Hedong County.

After all the generals under his command arrived, Dong Zhuo immediately said: "Everyone, the Guanqi army has approached the Tiger Prison Pass at the east gate of Luoyang, and the Huangfu Song and Gai Xun in the west have raised troops to echo, they will definitely seize Hangu Pass and cut off our army's retreat, what do you think I should do?" ”

Hearing this, all the generals were shocked, because although they knew the situation of the allies, they did not know the situation in the west.

At this time, Li Ru immediately spoke up: "Lord, did Huangfu Song and Gai Xun really send troops?" ”

"Absolutely."

"Lord, if this is the case, we must occupy Hangu Pass before Huangfu Song and Gai Xun, so that the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an can be carried out smoothly, otherwise, we will be trapped in Luoyang and unable to move an inch."

"What Wen You said is also what I think, I don't know which general is willing to lead his troops to Hangu Pass?"

Hearing this, all the generals hesitated, after all, they had to go to Hangu Pass to fight against the famous general Huang Fu Song of the dynasty, and it was easy to say if they won, but if they were defeated, they would not be able to withstand such consequences at all, after all, Hangu Pass was about the life and death of all Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Dong Zhuo saw that all the generals were hesitating, and he suddenly said angrily: "Wait for this? Is the name of Huangfu Song so terrifying to you? ”

Being so belittled by Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu suddenly got up and asked for his life: "Father-in-law, Huangfu Song is just an old pawn, and the child is willing to go to Hangu Pass." ”

Seeing that Lu Bu took the initiative to ask for help, Dong Zhuo smiled with relief and said, "With Fengxian and my son out of the horse, I can rest assured." ”

At this moment, Li Ru came out and interjected: "My lord, the minister does not approve of General Lu going out. ”

When Lu Bu saw Li Ru say this, he immediately continued: "Mr. Li, do you look down on me Lu Bu?" ”

"Definitely! General Lu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, how could Li Ru look down on him. ”

"Then why doesn't Mr. Li agree?"

Li Ru then said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, although Huangfu Song and Gai Xun raised their troops, they may not be able to be pacified quickly, after all, the Son of Heaven is in our hands, we can use the name of the Son of Heaven to reprimand them to let them quit, but the Kwantung princes are not, their forces are far superior to Huangfu Song and Gai Xun, and the minister thinks that unparalleled fierce generals like General Lu should be used to resist the Kwantung princes." ”

When Lu Bu saw Li Ru complimenting him, he immediately stopped being angry.

And Dong Zhuo also felt justified after pondering Li Ru's words, so he asked Lu Bu to retreat.

Immediately after, Dong Zhuo asked again who dared to fight Huangfu Song.

At this moment, a soldier hurried to the council hall to report the news of Huangfu Song's arrival in Luoyang City to Dong Zhuoyu.

Dong Zhuo and the generals were stunned after listening to the soldiers' reports, because they were still talking about Huangfu Song's troops just now, but Huangfu Song came to Luoyang City so suddenly, who was the one who raised the troops?

Dong Zhuo, who was confused, immediately asked the generals to stay in the council hall first, and he rushed to the West City Gate.

When Dong Zhuo saw that the person at the city gate was indeed Huangfu Song, he suddenly shouted: "Bold Huangfu Song, you are disrespectful to the decree, and you dare to enter Beijing alone, come here, take Huangfu Song for me." ”

After receiving Dong Zhuo's order, the soldiers at the city gate immediately stepped forward to prepare to hold Huangfu Song.

Seeing this, Huangfu Song smiled without fear, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Come on!" ”

Seeing that Huangfu Song's behavior was so abnormal, Dong Zhuo was very uneasy, but he did not change the order.

As the soldiers detained Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Huangfu Song to be taken to the heavenly prison for imprisonment.

Then, Dong Zhuo returned to the conference hall.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's return, Li Ru immediately asked: "Lord, is it Huangfu Song?" ”

"Wen You, the person who came is indeed Huangfu Song, but I got a report that the Huangfu Song Department and the Gai Xun Department are marching to Hangu Pass, that person is Huangfu Song just now, so who is in command of Huangfu Song?"

Li Ru thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Wang Kaishang, the disciple of Huangfu Song, is in the military camp, and the person who leads the army must be this person, and he will definitely be able to command the army as the general of Anxi." ”

"Wang Kai, yes, I remember that I also mentioned him when I gave an edict to Huangfu Song, is there anything wrong with him leading the army?"

"Lord, this is Huangfu Songyang's plan, presumably he knows that he will not be tolerated by the lord when he goes to Luoyang, so he specially left Wang Kai to lead the army, first, to let his subordinates echo the Guanqi army, and secondly, to let the lord vote on the rat trap."

"What? Okay, you're an emperor, I'm going to kill him. With that, Dong Zhuo wanted to go to the prison.

Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly said: "The lord can't, if you behead Huangfu Song, Wang Kai's department will fight to the death with me, so the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Wenyou, what do you mean by this?"

"Lord, this is where Huang Fu Song's plan lies, he went to Luoyang alone, but left his disciple Wang Kai to lead the army, one can echo the alliance to crusade against the lord, and the other is to fulfill his name of loyalty, the most important point is that the lord knows that Huang Fu Song intends to crusade, but he can't kill him, after all, Wang Kai is Huang Fu Song's personal disciple, once the lord beheads Huang Fu Song, Wang Kai's department will definitely do his best to intercept it."

"Wenyou, if it's really as you say, what should I do?"

"Lord, now that our army is surrounded by the enemy on all sides, we can only focus on defense first, and I am afraid that the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an will have to be delayed first."

"What?"

After Dong Zhuo, who was incredulous, looked at Li Ru and found that he really meant this, he immediately angrily pulled out his saber and split the table in front of him in half.

The generals were silent when they saw Dong Zhuo's anger, because they didn't want to touch Dong Zhuo's head when he was angry.

After Dong Zhuo vented for a while, he asked Li Ru helplessly: "Wen You, since the relocation of the capital has been postponed, how do you think I should deal with the two-sided attack of the allies and Wang Kai's department." ”

"My lord, the princes of Kwantung actually have their own ghosts, we just need to stick to the tiger prison and not get out, and the allies will disperse after a long time. As for Yiguan in the north and Yique Pass in the south, the main forces are the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and we can send envoys from the imperial court to persuade them to stop sending troops. After all, Hangu Pass is the only way for us to retreat into Chang'an, the sooner we repel the combined forces of Wang Kai and Gai Xun, the more room for maneuver we will have, otherwise we can only stay in Luoyang and fight all the princes. ”

"Okay, just according to Wenyou!"

"Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong, Duan Xuan, Fan Chou, Li Dao, and Guo Yan listen to orders."

After hearing this, Xu Rong and the others immediately stood up and replied.

Immediately after, Dong Zhuo ordered: "Xu Rong and Duan Xuan, let the two of you immediately lead 20,000 troops to the Tiger Prison Pass to garrison, with Xu Rong as the main commander and Duan Xuan as the deputy general." ”

Xu Rong and Duan Xuan immediately took the order and left.

Then, Dong Zhuo ordered again: "Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, let the two of you immediately lead 10,000 troops to Yiguan to garrison, with Zhang Ji as the main commander and Fan Chou as the deputy general." ”

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou also immediately took the order after receiving the order.

Next, Dong Zhuo continued to order: "Huaxiong, Hu Zhen, let the two of you immediately lead 10,000 troops to Yique Pass to garrison, with Hua Xiong as the main commander and Hu Zhen as the deputy general. ”

Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen followed the order and left.

In the end, Dong Zhuo ordered again: "Li Dao, Guo Yan, let you two lead 20,000 troops to garrison Luoyang to adapt to the situation, once there is a danger in any of the Tiger Pass, Yique Pass and Yiguan Pass, you will send troops to rescue." ”

After hearing this, Li Dao and Guo Yan immediately hugged their fists at the same time and replied with a promise.

After arranging the generals, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru and Lu Bu again: "Wenyou, Fengxian, you will go with me to Hanguguan." ”

After Lu Bu and Li Ru got the order, they immediately replied with a promise.

After that, Dong Zhuo mobilized 40,000 soldiers and horses to march towards Hangu Pass.
