"What do you two think?" Yuan Shao was unsure of Cao Cao's latest deployment, looked at the two of them, and asked.

"Lord, the strategy offered by Meng De is really the best policy, and it is the only way to capture Luoyang!" Xu You said solemnly.

"Huh?" Yuan Shao exclaimed in surprise, looked at Feng Ji, and asked excitedly: "Can you really break through Luoyang?" “

"My lord, the grain and grass in Luoyang have always been supplied by Jizhou, the granary of the world, if the highway can really be based on Wuguan, or even go north to capture Tongguan, dare to ask the lord, is Dong Zhuoyan trapped in Luoyang invincible?"

Luoyang is short of food, and Jizhou, the largest state in the world, has been supplying money and grain, which is a well-known thing, and Yuan Shao naturally knows it. But now that Jizhou is controlled by Han Fu, Luoyang has lost the money and grain supplied by Jizhou, but Dong Zhuo has brought dozens of Xiliang troops to Luo, and the gap in grain and grass is even greater, and now Dong Zhuo can only count on Sanfu and Guanxi, but once Yuan Shu really cuts off the connection between Luoyang and Guanxi, Luoyang has no food, how can Dong Zhuo be undefeated?

Yuan Shao, whose expression changed, immediately laughed when he thought of this, but at the moment when he was about to make a decision, the herald suddenly came with a shocking news, the angel arrived in Hanoi!

The angel is just Dong Zhuo's envoy, but what is the so-called thing that Dong Zhuo sent an envoy to come at this time?

The story goes back a few days ago.

Xingyang was victorious, Xu Rong sent an envoy to report the victory, quickly crossed the water, and finally arrived at Luoyang before sunset after arriving at Yanshi.

The water flowed, the sun set, and a mottled city appeared in front of the messenger's eyes.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, when Zhou became the king, Zhou Gongying Yuyi, which was the location of Cheng Zhou City, was the eastern capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Directly belongs to Zhou Tianzi. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Yuyi was the king's capital. By the Warring States Period, the name of the city was changed to Yang. Since then, the name of Luoyang has been used to this day. The Heluo area centered on Luoyang City is called 'Henan', which corresponds to 'Hedong' and 'Hanoi', and is called Sanhe, and the famous families of the three places are called Sanhe Shi clan by the people of the time.

Under the twilight, the gates of Ruoyang rumbled and closed, but at the moment when the Wangjing Gate was closed, a black-clothed black-armored knight flew under the city tower like a lightning speed. The knight pulled the reins of the horse, only to hear the neighing of the chief of the divine horse and the man standing up in front of the moat, which immediately attracted a shock and cheers from the soldiers defending the city. Noise is heard. Sima who guarded the city went straight up to the city tower, and saw that there was a Xiliang knight under the city, and asked in a loud voice: "Who is the one who came!" ”

"I am the Xingyang battalion Shenwu scout camp Tun Chang'an Grasshopper, and I am the general of Xu Du to report to Xiangguo!" The knight said and took out the report paperwork, and the hand shook.

The most important thing is to report his troops, and Sima who guards the city does not doubt that he has him, and immediately ordered to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge.

The drawbridge fell. The knight whipped the horse that sat down, and the horse's hooves moved like a bolt of lightning into the outer city of Luoyang.

Entering the city, the black knight did not slow down. Galloping all the way, when he arrived at the inner city gate, he took out the report paperwork.

Inner city checks have always been relaxed. After seeing the knight's hand Chinese book, without even asking, someone shouted from above the city tower: "Open the city gate quickly." “

The inner city was opened. The armor guards both sides, and the black-armored knights pass through them. Towards Dong Zhuo's mansion Long Live Street.

Banzai Street is not far from the gold market, but at this time the gold market has long been depressed and dilapidated, and there is no original prosperity, and the entire Luoyang City has also become depressed after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the original city that never sleeps is dark at this time, not to mention that it is night, even during the day, there are few pedestrians on the street.

In front of Banzai Street, it was sparse and quiet, and the knight was skillful and quickly walked through the alleys, and soon arrived in front of Xiangguo's mansion. Blue bricks and green tiles, surrounded by stone walls, two lifelike bedroom stone statues in front of the middle gate, and six rows of black-armored halberd-wielding armor guards the door, standing solemnly.

The knight jumped off his horse and took out the paperwork: "I am the Xingyang Battalion Shenwu Scout Camp Tun Chang'an Grasshopper, and I am the general of the Xu Governor to report to Xiangguo!" ”

The armor soldier collected the halberd, and the knight went straight to the Xiangguo Mansion, and traveled unhindered all the way to the council chamber.

The Xiangguo Mansion Council Hall is in a partial courtyard in the back house, the courtyard carries all kinds of flowers and plants, from the courtyard door to the hall door is paved with bluestone slabs, and the sycamore and green bamboo are planted on both sides, but the most is still the green pine.

It's hard to imagine that this will be Dong Zhuo's chamber, although it is quiet, but it is too simple, could it be that Dong Zhuo will really deal with the documents collected from the world in such a courtyard every day? Of course not, because the real owner of this place is Li Ru, and the person who handles official business for him here every day is also Li Ru, and Dong Zhuo will only appear here when there is an emergency military situation.

There are three main houses in the courtyard, one of which is a nine-bay room is a council room, the west side is the room where Li Ru handles government affairs every day, and the east side is the room where he rests at night.

At this moment, the lights in the west hall were still shining, and the messenger was loud, and the voice of Li Ru ordering him to enter the house was immediately heard.

When the knight entered the house, Li Ru was bowing his head and writing something, which should be very important, and he didn't even raise his head, asking him to wait on the side for a while. The knight was a little cramped, he didn't even dare to raise his head, he waited cautiously on the side, and the time passed minute by minute, Li Ru had not finished his official business, and the black-armored knight who had nothing to do began to peek at the room.

The very simple house is not even as good as Xu Rong's house in Xingyang, the ground is not covered with any felt or sheepskin blankets, there are no silk veils hanging on the surrounding walls, and there are rows of bookshelves in front of the walls, which are piled with countless bamboo books.

This is the most book he has seen in his life, and he is a little curious, and looks at Li Ru, who is sitting behind Ai Ji, is he going to finish reading all the books in this room? He didn't know that Li Ru under the oil lamp had already finished reading all the books in the room.

At this moment, Li Ru put down the brush, raised his head and let out a long breath, and the knight immediately lowered his head, respectfully, and even breathed carefully.

"By the way, where did you say you came from?"

"The last general came from Xingyang and came to report to Xiangguo on the order of Governor Xu."

"Victory? Xu Rong won? Li Ruteng stood up, overjoyed, great, great, earlier Li urged Guo Yan to break the Hanoi coalition army, and now Xu Rong broke the sour jujube coalition army in Xingyang, plus he broke the Luyang coalition army Sun Jian before, and the triumphant song of the three-way unison sounded, it seems that the big break coalition army is just around the corner.

As he spoke, he walked down the stairs and walked to the messenger: "Okay, good, you have good news, go, follow me to see Xiangguo, and tell Xiangguo the good news in person." ”

"No!"

The envoy accompanied him to meet Xiangguo to facilitate Xiangguo's questioning, and some specific situations, even if the envoy told him, Li Ru, who had never been on the battlefield, might not be able to answer.

Li Ru didn't dare to slack off, so he came out of the house first, ordered a palm lamp, and immediately came to Dong Zhuo's residence with a messenger under the escort of several lantern-carrying maids and soldiers. (To be continued......)
