"If it comes to the degree of trust, the next thing is Hu Zhen, it is said that Hu Zhen was the first batch of people to follow Dong Zhuo, and it was Dong Zhuo who promoted him step by step from a soldier, it can be said that in addition to his family, Dong Zhuo trusts him the most."

"But although Hu Zhen is loyal to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo does trust him very much, his ability is somewhat insufficient, so the third of Dong Zhuo's three elite armies is not in his hands."

"The one who controls the third elite division is called Duan Xuan, who is a native of Wuwei Guzang, and is a brother with the former Taiwei Duan Cheng, because Duan Cheng's battle against Qiang was powerful in Xiliang, so Dong Zhuo had the intention of currying favor with the Duan family, so he handed over the last elite to Duan Xuan."

"But Duan Xuan is different from Dong Zhuo's other subordinate armies that are arrogant and domineering, and the military discipline is corrupt, he is low-key, and the army in his hands is strictly disciplined, and he is now ordered to be stationed in Huayin, and it is said that he is running there very well."

"There is also a Yang Ding, like Hu Zhen, Dong Zhuo pulled it up with one hand, no Hu Zhen will please people, but he is stronger than Hu Zhen's ability, although Dong Zhuo is not as close to Yang Ding as Hu Zhen, but he values him very much."

"These people all belong to the Liangzhou faction, and they belong to the cronies of Dong Zhuo's cronies, in addition to these, there are two major factions, one is the Luoyang faction headed by Xu Rong, and the Bingzhou faction headed by Feng Xian."

"The two of them are the last two of the seven Zhonglang generals, although so, Xu Rong's status is above Feng Xian, although Xu Rong is not Dong Zhuo's lineage, he still has some military power."

"As for Feng Xian, he was just used by Dong Zhuo, not only did he not grasp more military power, but even many of the merge state troops were assigned to other generals by Dong Zhuo."

"The current Fengxian, although he is one of the seven lieutenant generals, does not have much military power, but Dong Zhuo appears as Dong Zhuo's guard, and only some of the Bingzhou troops who are loyal to him still follow him."

"After these people are a group of captains, in addition to Dong Huang, who is in charge of the forbidden army, there are four captains who are the most important for Dong Zhuo, in addition to the three captains under Niu Fu, there is also a Fan Chou, who was sent to Xu Rongjun."

"As for me, I can rank behind these four people by virtue of my strength, but when it comes to the level of trust, starting from me, including Li Meng, Wang Fang and others who are behind me, are not trusted."

"Of course, there is also Li Su, he doesn't have any real power in Dong Zhuo's army, but he definitely belongs to Dong Zhuo's henchmen, and that's basically the case in Dong Zhuo's forces." Hua Xiong said as he thought about it, for fear that he had missed something.

"In this way, Dong Zhuo's subordinates are full of talents." Zhang Hao said with a wry smile.

"The lord can rest assured that Xiliang is located on the border, living with the Qiang people, and bordering the Xiongnu, so the people are fierce and brave, but most of them are brave and unscrupulous." Guo Jia stepped forward to comfort.

"That's right, my lord, Dong Zhuo's army is dominated by Xiliang people, and Dong Zhuo's cronies are all from Liangzhou, and most of them are rough people like me."

"There are only Li Ru, Li Su and Jia Xu who have some strategies, but Jia Xu doesn't seem to have been noticed by Dong Zhuo, and Li Su is silent most of the time, so only Li Ru can give advice around Dong Zhuo." Hua Xiong also nodded and said.

"I see, Li Ru is resourceful, but he is a person who is obedient, he only knows how to give advice to Dong Zhuo, but he doesn't know how to advise Dong Zhuo, he is really Li Ru in success, and Li Ru in defeat." Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head and said.

Li Ru can be said to be the chief thinker under Dong Zhuo's account, or the only one, that status is equivalent to Zhuge Liang's status in Shu Han, or even surpassed.

Dong Zhuo can have his current status, which can be said to have a lot of credit to Li Ru, but Dong Zhuo can have a future end, and it is inseparable from Li Ru.

In terms of strategy, Dong Zhuo can only rely on Li Ru, with Li Ru's wisdom, through a series of absurd behaviors such as Dong Zhuo's overnight stay in the palace, he will definitely be able to calculate Dong Zhuo's fate, but he did not advise Dong Zhuo to stop him.

Maybe Li Ru had persuaded him, but Dong Zhuo didn't listen, but he definitely didn't dissuade Dong Zhuo strongly, if he risked his life to admonish, with Dong Zhuo's attention to him, he would definitely listen, and it would not have caused the current situation.

"Li Ru is also successful, and Li Ru is also defeated?"

"That's right, Dong Zhuo only has this one strategist, and his current achievements are enough to prove Li Ru's ability, but he personally poisoned Emperor Han Shao, which shows that he obeyed Dong Zhuo's words."

"But as a mastermind, it's not just about giving advice, it's about thinking ahead, analyzing the pros and cons before making any decision, and dissuading your boss when he makes a bad decision." Zhang Hao looked at Guo Jia as he spoke, revealing a hint of a smile.

"The lord praised it." Guo Jia said with a red face when he heard Zhang Hao say this.

"Fengxiao, what should I do next?" Zhang Hao looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"Lord, if it is as Gongwei said, then Li Su is extraordinary, we can go to the pass tomorrow to drown and force Li Su to fight with us." Guo Jia thought for a while and said.

"Fengxiao, what if Li Su doesn't fight?" Zhao Yun pondered Guo Jia's words and said.

"I think Li Su will probably not face the battle, the generals can be mentally prepared, and if they don't fight, they will send soldiers to scold at the pass, but don't attack by force, the losses caused by that will be too great." Guo Jia nodded and said.

"Since we know that Li Su won't fight, why do we still have to drown." Zhao Yun asked puzzled.

"Make a show." Guo Jia said with a slight smile.

"Acting?" The generals looked at Guo Jia suspiciously.

"That's right, acting, first of all, is to show the princes and the coalition army, so that they think that we are attacking the city with all our might, and the most important thing is to show Dong Zhuo."

"Let's make it look like we're going to attack the city with all our might, put pressure on Dong Zhuo, and let him continue to send troops over, otherwise when the princes' army arrives, with Li Su's 20,000 or 30,000 people, I'm afraid it will collapse at the touch of a button." Guo Jia explained.

"Didn't the Tiger Prison Pass say that a husband should be closed? How can it collapse at the touch of a button, and the alliance of princes will not work together. Zhao Yun asked again.

"That's right, as the eastern gateway and important pass of Luoyang, the Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but don't forget that there are only 30,000 defenders now."

"In addition, although the princes and coalition forces have their own ghosts, they all want to pay the least price and get the most benefits, and when they know that there are not many defenders in the Tiger Prison Pass, whether there are generals to guard it, they will definitely attack the key problems like crazy to snatch the merits of the war."

"In this way, under the two sides, I am afraid that the defenders in the pass will not be able to support it for three days, and it will be taken by the coalition forces, and if the princes of all walks of life do not care about the cost, they can break the pass in one day." Guo Jia explained with a smile.
