Tiger Prison is in the middle of the pass.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already led the army to the Tiger Prison Pass.

He was in a very complicated mood at the moment, although he also knew that what he had done was indeed a bit against the way of the people.

However, he may not have some loyalty in his heart, but he was just suppressed by a stronger **.

Therefore, when he saw the alliance against Dong in the name of King Qin's thief, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Alas!" Dong Zhuo stood on the city wall, looked at the Dong coalition army under the city, sighed, and asked Li Ru on the side: "Wen You, do you say that we can repel this Dong Alliance this time?" ”

After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he looked at the Dong Alliance under the city, and said with a smile: "This time the lord will win!" ”

"Oh?" After Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked eagerly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Of course, Li Ru knew in his heart that this battle might be very difficult.

However, he couldn't confess the matter to Dong Zhuo, because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would lose confidence.

He knows Dong Zhuo very well, once Dong Zhuo loses confidence, he will definitely run away, and he will not play with Dong Alliance.

However, this battle is a battle about the direction of the world.

If Dong Zhuo wins, then he can sweep the world in a very short time, and if Dong Zhuo loses, then he will never have a chance to recover!

Therefore, he could only coax Dong Zhuo at this time to enhance Dong Zhuo's confidence.

"Lord, look" After pointing to the army under the city, Li Ru said with a smile: "Although this Dong Alliance actually looks very majestic.

However, the lord only needs to look carefully to see that these armies are simply a rabble!

They were only brought together by the drive of righteousness.

However, they had been gathered for too short a time and had not been trained in integration at all.

As long as the lord attacks one place and divides them into several sections, they can be divided and annihilated! ”

When Li Ru said this, his face was full of determination, as if he was holding the victory.

However, he was very bitter in his heart, because as far as he knew, these armies outside the city were very good.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the tens of thousands of troops under Cao Cao are the elite troops who followed Li Zhidong to conquer the West Station!

However, he didn't dare to say these words to Dong Zhuo, because he was afraid of damaging Dong Zhuo's confidence.

At this time, Li Ru was also very worried in his heart, because since he knew that Cao Cao had Li Zhi's army under his command, he felt that Li Zhi might intervene in this battle.

But he didn't know how Li Zhi would intervene in this matter, so he could only secretly guard against it.

He couldn't say these precautions to Dong Zhuo.

Because once Dong Zhuo knew that not only the coalition forces outside the city were going to deal with him, but also the hussar generals were going to attack him, he was afraid that he would immediately be cowardly and flee.

Dong Zhuo didn't know the bitterness in Li Ru's heart.

After hearing Li Ru's explanation, he looked out.

found that it was indeed as Li Ru said, although this Dong Alliance looked very grandiose.

However, if you look closely, you can see that these soldiers and horses of the Dong Alliance did not join forces at all, but fought separately, divided into more than a dozen large and small phalanxes, which made people feel that this army was a little scattered at a glance.

"Hahaha......" After seeing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The old man didn't expect that this Dong Alliance would be so ignorant!"

So far, instead of merging the soldiers and horses together, but fighting separately, isn't this a desire to let the old man divide and annihilate him? ”

Speaking of this, his face changed, his laughter rang out, and he asked suspiciously: "Wen You, do you think this is a trap set by the enemy?"

After all, although the old man looked down on this Dong Alliance, the old man had to admit that there were indeed capable people in the Dong Alliance.

For example, Cao Cao is very powerful!

If we can see the flaw in this, can't he see it?

If he sees a flaw, why not straighten out these soldiers and horses?

So, the old man thinks, is this a trap set by Cao Mengde for me?

He deliberately did this, so that I felt that they were fighting separately, and when we left the city, they would join forces and besiege us? ”

The more he talked, the more he felt that his statement was very likely, and in the end even he believed it.

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru shook his head with a smile and replied, "Don't worry, my lord, then Cao Mengde definitely didn't set a trap!" ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Hearing Dong Zhuoduo's inquiry, Li Ru explained to him: "The probability of what the lord said is very small.

Because everyone in the world has selfish intentions, although the army under the city claims to be the alliance to fight against Dong, they are divided into eighteen princes.

Each of these eighteen princes has their own thoughts, and it is impossible for them to join forces.

Because no one will hand over their military power to others, if they do hand over their military power, then their lives will be taken care of.

Therefore, these people will not listen to Cao Cao's words and join forces!

Cao Cao can now reluctantly gather them together, which is already very admirable.

He simply didn't have the ability to take these people's military power for his own use.

The lord should not look at Cao Cao's very majestic as the leader of the alliance to please Dong.

In the final analysis, the soldiers under his command are only 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses in his own army.

If the war is unfavorable, the other princes will definitely try to evacuate the battlefield.

Because, now everyone can see that the world is going to be in chaos.

And after the chaos in the world, military power is the top priority!

Therefore, they will never lose their military power for the sake of an ethereal reward!

As long as we can hold on to their first few attacks, and then find a way to surprise them and make them lose their troops, then they will definitely retreat on their own! ”

After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's analysis, he nodded again and again, and his heart was also a little excited.

Because according to Li Ru's analysis, his chances of winning are very big!

After gaining confidence from Li Ru, Dong Zhuo strode towards his mansion.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he had to give orders and let his army go out of the city to fight his opponents.

Dong Zhuo can also be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield, he knows that as long as he can knock out the opponent's sharp spirit, then his future defense of the city will be much easier.

Looking at the back of Dong Zhuo leaving, Li Ru sighed in his heart.

The words he had just uttered seemed unassailable on the surface.

However, he himself knew that what he said just now was just nonsense.

At this time, Dong Zhuo left Beijing with only 100,000 troops, and the remaining 100,000 people had other places to defend.

There are 50,000 garrisons in the direction of Chang'an, beware of Ma Teng and others attacking Chang'an from Liangzhou.

There are also 50,000 people who are placed in Luoyang to guard against Li Zhi, and now they don't know where Li Zhi is.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, they used these 50,000 troops to surround Luoyang.

The reason why they do this is to leave a way out for themselves.

In case they fail in the duel with the Dong Alliance, they can also calmly withdraw to Luoyang.

It really doesn't work, they can also use Luoyang as a resistance and withdraw to Chang'an.

Of course, all this is the worst plan Li Ru has ever made.

If it was possible, Li Ru really wanted to mobilize all their armies to the Tiger Prison Pass.

But Li Ru also knows that this is impossible, Li Zhi is too nerve-wracking.

Now Li Zhi's hidden shadows, who knows what strategy he has to deal with himself and others?!

He and the others must be fully prepared in order to resist Li Zhi's backhand.

Therefore, this time they only brought only a quarter of the soldiers and horses of the Dong Alliance.

However, it is precisely because they have too few soldiers and horses, so if the Dong Alliance attacks recklessly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him and his horses to defend it a few times.

As for the fact that the soldiers and horses outside the city were relatively scattered, Li Ru also panicked just now.

Because he could see that although the princes had their own thoughts, their soldiers and horses were faintly Cao Cao's master.

As long as Cao Cao's army is not defeated, then the other soldiers and horses will be able to hold on!

And it is even more difficult to want Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to be defeated!

Not to mention that Cao Cao himself is a very capable commander, let's just say that these soldiers and horses under his command are all elite divisions who followed Li Zhidong to fight in the west, how could they be so easily defeated?

However, by now, the matter has been ready to be sent.

Even if Li Ru knew that he and the others were at a disadvantage, he would not back down again.

Because whoever retreats now loses the right to fight for the world......
