Outside Chang'an City, Weishui Hebei.

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou army to cross the river and march west with great fanfare.

"The lord and the prime minister sent him off for ten miles, why are you worried, you seem to have something on your mind." Wei Xu, who was closer to Lu Bu, asked.

The two have an in-law relationship, so they naturally trust them more.

Lu Bu also had no scruples, and said bluntly: "I have always stayed by the prime minister's side, guarding him around, he has always said that he can't leave me, otherwise he will have to worry about his life, but now he asked me to go to Liangzhou to help in the war, I heard that Jia Xu was dispatched, which is an unfavorable signal." ”

"You say, does the prime minister distrust me?" No wonder Lu Bu is worried, it's really that Dong Zhuo doesn't rely on him so much recently, and Dong Zhuo actually hasn't really had too much military power with him, what he can manage is still the old part of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo didn't let him recruit troops to expand his troops at all.

Lu Bu also knew that Dong Zhuo had actually been a little wary of him, and this feeling was similar to Ding Yuan at the beginning.

Now that Dong Zhuo has let him go out to fight and make meritorious contributions, this feeling is becoming stronger and stronger.

Wei Xu thought for a while and said: "The lord should not, you are the prime minister's first fierce general, and there is no opponent for you in the entire Xiliang army, he should see that we are loyal and ready to give the lord a chance." ”

After Wei Xu finished speaking, Gao Shun, who has always disliked words, said bluntly: "If the prime minister trusts the lord, he will not let the lord come to Liangzhou to fight, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not easy to deal with, they have Qiang Ming's support behind them, and they occupy a favorable location, Jia Shangshu has not completed the work to destroy them, and now they can't hold each other."

We went to fear that the casualties would not be small, but the prime minister never asked us to replenish. ”

Gao Shun is the most loyal to Lu Bu, and he is straightforward, he doesn't like to slap horses, and he can't be tactful.

Therefore, he is not optimistic about this battle of Liangzhou, there is no benefit in winning, and he will lose the soldiers.

Blame for losing.

Dong Zhuo made it clear that he did not trust the state army.

Even he felt that Dong Zhuo had never trusted the state army.

Otherwise, why did the other generals keep recruiting troops, but Lu Bu had a prominent official position but could not expand the army, and he had to serve as Dong Zhuo's guard every day.

In other words, isn't this burying people?

The Bingzhou army is a good man on the horse, and it is about to rust after being in Chang'an for so long.

"Gao Shunxiu wants to talk nonsense, are you so rude to the prime minister because you want to implicate the lord?" Wei Xu looked left and right, looking like the protector was anxious.

Gao Shun pursed his lips with obvious disdain, or didn't want to pay attention to him.

Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "Gao Shun is in charge of trapping the camp, and you don't need to interfere in other things." ”

"Whoa!" Although he was reprimanded and treated unfairly, Gao Shun was sometimes a stuffy gourd, and he didn't justify being honest, conscientious, and never complained.

Wei Xu was like a victorious general, and he raised himself proudly towards Gao Shun, and then said to Lu Bu: "Lord, in fact, we should be careful, there are not many Lang'er in Bingzhou, and we should act cheaply when we enter Liangzhou."

Dong Zhuo made an exception to send him off.

Soon the entire Chang'an City knew about it.

In front of everyone's eyes, many people saw Dong Fatzi riding in the car.

Many drinkers in the window position on the street projected a touch of obliteration, and then took a sip of the wine in their glasses, staring at the departing Dong Zhuo team with a complicated expression.

"Dong Zhuo's old thief actually sent Lu Bu to Liangzhou, and now it's a good opportunity to kill him, but it's not that simple." On the second floor of a restaurant, looking at Dong Zhuo's departing convoy, he muttered to himself:

"There should be fraud, but you can wipe ......"

Dong Zhuo, who was swaggering through the market, seemed to close his eyes and calm on the carriage, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart.

finally returned to the mansion, and as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Wen Wei, you can't do this, those traitors didn't make a move, I wanted to capture them in one fell swoop, but now it seems that they are all a group of cowards." ”

Li Ru said: "Prime Minister don't worry, fishing needs to be patient, the longer the line, the more you can hang the big fish, if someone does it today, on the contrary, it is just some miscellaneous fish, all of them are not on the table."

As long as there is a reason, the prime minister does not have to worry, we just need to stay up quietly for a while, whether it is a big fish or a small fish, it will run out. ”

Isn't it a man's job to use oneself as bait?

Of course, Dong Zhuo will not risk his own life, so it is best to try not to appear in front of the public recklessly.

However, now there is a peerless master Dong Shen hidden in the guard, and it is indeed the best opportunity to kill the rats hidden in Chang'an, and if he misses it, he will not have it in the future.

If he wants to sweep the world and make some sacrifices, he still has the consciousness to complete it, but the number of times is limited to the next time.

"Except for Wang Yue and Xu Ding, I don't worry about anyone in the world, but unfortunately the two of them will definitely not come." Dong Zhuo didn't know whether to be happy or sorry and said.

In the following time, Dong Zhuo rarely went to court, and even less went out on patrol, as if he couldn't ensure safety without Lu Bu.

For a while, the undercurrent of Chang'an City was even more turbulent.

One by one, the hands hidden in the shadows began to sharpen their knives, just waiting for an opportunity to come.

And the source of this opportunity is from Lu Bu.

It is said that Lu Bu went all the way west and soon entered Hanyang County, and reported to Jia Xu.

"Jia Shangshu, you boasted to the prime minister that as long as I arrived, I would be able to break Ma Teng and Han Sui, now that I have arrived, tell me your plan, how to quickly break the enemy and eliminate Ma Teng and Han Sui, please tell me in detail." Lu Bu is arrogant and arrogant, and sometimes quite naïve.

Since Jia Xu asked to come over by himself, it means that the other party wants to rely on him, and he begged me, so I don't need to be polite to him.

lest they be despised and used as cannon fodder, losing for no reason and riding wolves.

Jia Xu said: "General, please sit down first, let me slow down!" ”

Next, Jia Xu told the story of his long-brewing plan.

Lu Bu nodded again and again when he heard this, and it was best to leave satisfied.

Zhao Ling watched the arrogant Lu Bu leave, and said to Jia Xu angrily: "Old man, you are not kind to do this, the credit has been given to Lu Bu, what do we take, we can't eat a bite of Liangzhou's sand if we come to Liangzhou, we can't eat a bite of Liangzhou's sand."

Liangzhou is very desolate, and the terrain is basically the Gansu Province of later generations, with barren land, many mountains and shallow surface soil dust.

When it rains slightly, the earth is washed into ravines, and mountains are connected one after another.

A little wind blows and the sand blows, and it blows dust on the surface, leaving bare limestone behind.

Therefore, the land of Liangzhou is bitter and cold, not far from Guanzhong, but it is one of the poorest states in Dahan.

Zhao Ling's complaint is naturally well-founded.

Jia Xu said: "Don't you really want to work, what do you want to do, do we want to be promoted and make a fortune?" ”

"Uh...... Count on what you say to make sense. Zhao Ling smiled bitterly, it seemed that Jia Xu was right, the two of them did not really do things for Dong Zhuo, and they did not covet the wealth here, and the credit was dispensable for them.

So although Jia Xu has been leading everyone to hold on to each other for a while, the generals below have not complained too much.

Because Jia Xu gave up his merit to all the major generals who accompanied him, even Zhao Ling's merit was divided by him.

Therefore, Zhang Ji and other Xiliang generals were extremely polite and familiar with Zhao Ling and Jia Xu, the son-in-law of Weng, and did not make things difficult for the two.

As long as they do not contradict Dong Zhuo's orders in principle, they will not deliberately resist the following pressures.

Moreover, Jia Xu and Zhao Ling did not have other small actions, they were very conscientious and dedicated to Dong Zhuo, and everyone saw it.

It is believed that the fundamental reason why the situation in Liangzhou cannot be broken is that there are too few soldiers and horses, the enemy is worried about geographical advantages, and the soldiers and horses are their multiples.
