Jian Shuo, who was sitting opposite Zhao Zhong, said the worry in his heart, and suddenly all the ten permanent attendants in the field had cold faces and their hearts jumped.

"My brother's worries are also my worries. It's just that now, we are ready to send it. If we want to conquer the world, we must have enough soldiers and horses to suppress the princes of the world. Dong Zhuo now has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Liangzhou, and there are countless fierce generals under his command, and only his power can suppress the princes of the world.

And in order to cultivate him, we can be said to have exhausted our organs and exhausted our efforts, and we have invested most of our capital in him. Although Dong Zhuo is ambitious, I can promise him, our brothers are all old, and there are no heirs, as long as this Dong Zhuo endures a few years, when we are a hundred years old, we will give him the position of the lord of the world. As long as he can be kind to our people in the future. ”

"What Brother Zhang said is very true, but I think we should be prepared for both. Liu Hong is about to die. For the time being, the Han family still needs to be the master of the world, the prince debates or the prince's association, I don't know how Brother Zhang chooses? If we can control this future lord of the world, it can also make Dong Zhuo a little jealous. After all, many princes in this world are from the Han family. They will more or less listen to the orders of this Han emperor. ”

Xia Yun, one of the ten permanent attendants, pursed his lips and spoke. This person has a bit of wisdom, or he will not speak, and once he speaks, there is merit.

Zhang Rang nodded at Xia Yun appreciatively, and then said.

"The prince's argument is from the line of Empress He, and now the butcher He is powerful enough to threaten my brothers. Of course, you can't let the prince argue that he is the lord of the world. And the Prince's Association, adopted by the Empress Dowager Dong since childhood, the Empress Dowager Dong and I still have some friendship, as long as the Empress Dowager Dong knows how to choose, so that she can now enjoy the glory and wealth of her old age, it is not indispensable. ”

"But, Brother Zhang. How could the butcher allow the prince to sit on the throne? This person's power is huge, and if he wants to rebel, I'm afraid that we will be caught off guard by him. ”

Guo Sheng, another ten-standing attendant, looked tense and couldn't help asking.

"Hmph. Brother Guo rest assured. Although he butcher and I have nothing to do with him on the surface, we have already been fighting secretly with each other. It's better to take advantage of this to kill this person! My brother has a plan here.

I waited a few days and falsely preached a holy decree saying that the Holy One was critically ill and intended to set up a successor to the throne before his death. Urgently rumored that the butcher entered the palace to discuss matters. When Butcher He heard this, he must have been defenseless and hurried over. At that time, I ambushed 50 sword and axe men in the Zhengde Gate of Taihe Palace, and when He Butcher was ambushed, I ordered all the sword and axe men to rush up and kill him.

I don't know what you brothers, what do you think of this plan? ”

"Haha, Brother Jian's plan is very wonderful, very wonderful."

"Haha, that's right. In this way, we can wait for great things to be accomplished. Wait for the prince to help him on the throne, turn him into a puppet of my brothers, and then order Dong Zhuo to lead the army into Luoyang. Then the world will fall into the hands of our brothers! ”

As soon as Jian Shuo's plan was said, he immediately won the approval of those present. Zhang Rang smiled, and after saying that, he followed his brother's plan, then lowered his head and looked coldly, and the people present were happy.

Luoyang is full of murderous machines, and the Han Dynasty is like a tattered and desolate ship, about to usher in a monstrous wave. Under the lapping of this huge wave, whether the Han dynasty can still exist, or can it truly survive. The future is full of dangers and unknowns.

At the same time, in the county offices of Hanoi, Chenliu, and Runan, without exception, a secret letter quietly arrived and passed to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu respectively.

After receiving the secret letter, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu immediately set off in disguise that day, leading a few but the most elite people under their command, all of whom deliberately rushed towards Luoyang in concealment.

A few days later, in the earthen hall of the White Wave Valley.

"Death and resurrection?"

Hu Cai, who looked suspicious, unconsciously opened his mouth and exhaled. Guo Da, who was sitting in the main seat, squinted his eyes and nodded with a smile on his lips.

"That's right, it's the place of death and then life. What is the ability of the Hedong Army under Wen Bufan, I believe that there is no need to say contemptible people, you all have a deep understanding. In one month, the Despicable Celestial Army had lost nearly 30,000 men. And with the passage of time, Wen Bufan is threatened by the emperor's order, and he will definitely become more and more fierce, and even frantically want to fight to the death with us at any cost.

At that time, even if we wait for the Celestial Army to win, how many troops will be left? How do you plan for the future? Therefore, the contemptible person deliberately wants to avoid its edge first. We waited for the heavenly army to make a false impression of annihilation, paralyzing the extraordinary. Then he entered Liangcheng, then attacked Taiyuan, took the state, and then sought the world.

On the other side of Liangcheng, they have long been taken by the contemptible old yellow turban robes, and they are waiting for my Baibo Heavenly Army to enter Liangcheng. And the righteous people in its area also intend to look at us and other Bai Botian troops. Wait for the Baibo Heavenly Army to cultivate its glory and become huge, and then come back to capture Hedong, and then use absolute strength to destroy the extraordinary Hedong Army! ”

Under Guo Da's rhetoric, Yang Feng, Hu Cai, Han Yu, Li Le and other generals can be said to have burst into ecstasy one after another, and their originally somewhat decadent eyes were covered by full expectations.

"Master Heaven, how should we do this illusion?"

Yang Feng's expression froze and asked Guo Da. Guo Da had already thought about everything, and immediately said that this was so, and the generals couldn't help but laugh together when they heard it.

In the next few days, the White Wave Thief Army seemed to have been defeated by the Hedong Army and did not dare to attack. And Wen Han had no intention of attacking the mountain for a while, so he waited and watched the changes. At the same time, it suddenly came that Yang Feng and Hu Cai were blamed and angry by Guo Da, saying that they had not done enough work a few days ago and did not find the vision of the Hedong Army, and beat the two to death, almost dying on the spot.

Wen Han heard the scout who received the information speak sincerely, and he said that the screams of Yang Feng and Hu Cai could be heard clearly even at the foot of the mountain. Wen Han frowned at the time, but he didn't say anything.

Then another few days followed. In the middle of the night one night, Baibo Valley suddenly burst into flames, and the sound of killing was all over the sky. It was noisy from the third watch until the early hours of the morning. Wen Han also had Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun and other generals, although he was woken up by the continuous and violent killing and cruel sounds. But Wen Han was afraid that there was a plan in it, so he didn't make any moves.

Waiting for the early morning of tomorrow, Wen Han sent dozens of scouts to the White Wave Valley to inquire about the battle last night, and from the mouths of several white wave thieves brought back by the scouts, Wen Han learned. It turned out that last night, Yang Feng and Hu Cai, because they were heavily punished by Guo Da, secretly hated and had evil intentions, and actually rebelled.

The two led their respective soldiers and horses, and made an appointment to raid on the third watch, Guo did not expect it beforehand, and was hacked to death by Yang Feng and Hu Cai, and the corpses were cut into meat sauce. In the chaotic battle, Han Yu and Li Le led the remnants of the army to fight their way out of the encirclement and escaped from the Baibo Valley. After that, Hu Cai and Yang Feng fought again for who should be the lord of the Baibo Valley, and the two armies fought until dawn, Yang Feng was cut off by Hu Cai, unable to fight again, and was afraid that Wen Han's Hedong army would suddenly attack, so he led the army to escape from the Baibo Valley.

At this time, in the Baibo Valley, only Hu Cai's soldiers and horses remained, with only 8,000 troops. This news, like a **, exploded heavily. A group of soldiers immediately asked Wen Han for his life, led the army to attack the mountain Baibo Valley, killed Hu Cai, the eight thousand Baibo thieves, and completed Wen Han's imperial order.

But Wen Han frowned deeply, and said, there are many clues in this, and after a few days of waiting, we will decide whether to attack the mountain. At the same time, Wen Han ordered Guan Yu and Xu Huang to send scouts to patrol the Baibo Valley area in the past few days to see if there were any ambushes around, and to pay close attention to every move in the Baibo Valley earthen fortress.

Time always passes in your hands unconsciously, and the second month of Wen Han's arrival in Changling will also pass. Seeing that there is less and less time left to complete the imperial order. Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun and other generals didn't feel a little anxious, and Guan Yu even couldn't stop his inner impatience a few times, and persuaded Wen Han to send troops to attack the mountain.

However, Wen Han still had that quiet face, and he calmly built guard towers around the White Wave Valley, paying attention to all the actions around the White Wave Valley.

And after nearly a month of intensive inspections, Wen Han finally determined that in this Baibo Valley, only the 8,000 thieves led by Hu Cai remained. And in the surrounding area, there is not a single thief of men and horses moving.

So Wen Han finally took action, sending a large number of soldiers and horses to build long trenches at various passes in the Baibo Valley, intending to seal Hu Cai, the eight thousand thieves, in the Baibo Valley.

Wen Han was unhurried, but Hu Cai, who was in the Baibo Valley, was anxious. He made an appointment with Guo Da and led the troops to stay here to paralyze Wen Han. After Guo Da entered Liangcheng, he sent a large army to meet his soldiers and horses out of the mountain. Who knows, Guo Da's army has not been seen for a long time, and every day he sees Wen Han's Hedong army building a long trench at the passes around the Baibo Valley, he is so anxious that he can't sleep and eat, and his irascible character is forced out again, and he often insults and beats the soldiers under his command to get angry.

Hu Cai's defeat in Bailong Mountain did not suffer a loss, and he grew a trench. He put almost all the blame on the two brothers, the white wolf and the black wolf.

Once Hu Cai's irascible personality is forced out, it will be out of control. He beat his men day and night, and he often drank heavily. Some thieves could not bear the torture of Hu Cai, and saw that the Hedong army had built a long trench and had the intention of sealing the mountain, so they began to form a group of conspirators, and batch after batch of thieves took advantage of Hu Cai's drunkenness in the middle of the night and fled under the Baibo Valley one after another.

The escaped thieves were quickly captured by scouts on watchtowers around the White Wave Valley. And the appearance of deserters for several days is undoubtedly another fuel to Hu Cai's fiery temperament. After Hu Cai killed dozens of thieves in a row as a warning to kill chickens and monkeys, the phenomenon of desertion did not stop, but became more and more out of control. As long as Hu Cai was drunk, day and night, a large group of thieves fled down the mountain.

Hu Cai saw that the troops under his command were getting smaller and smaller, and he was originally short of troops, so he suddenly became worried, fearing that Wen Han would suddenly attack the mountain. Then he had the intention of leading the troops to escape from Baibo Valley and go to Liangcheng.

Hu Cai had this idea, so he immediately took action, stopped drinking, and led the troops to survey the situation around the mountain for several days, and then chose an escape route, preparing to break through and go down the mountain.

A few days later, Hu Cai led 5,000 white wave thieves out of the earthen fortress, and by the concealment of the night, he crossed the long trench in the middle of the mountain and rushed to the foot of the mountain.

Who knows, Wen Han had long been aware of Hu Cai's intention to escape, and from the captured deserter, he learned about one of the corners of Guo Da's conspiracy, and Guo Da did successfully leave Baibo Valley, but he had no intention of saving Hu Cai. Hu Cai waited for a long time, and saw that he built a long trench to seal the mountain, of course, he would have the intention of escaping.

Several scouts of the Hedong Army hidden in the mountains rushed to gallop wildly, and returned to Changling to report the news of Hu Cai's escape to Wen Han. Wen Han guessed that Hu should have a move in the next few days, and ordered the soldiers under his command to be ready to fight at any time without leaving their weapons and armor.
