The next day, Li Ru arrived as promised, with Hu Che'er and Liu'er by his side.

Nighthawk recommended Chen Zhi to Li Ru.

"Uncle Chen, meet the commander-in-chief!"

Chen Zhi arched his hand.

The person in front of him was the one who brought Dong Zhuo into Beijing and opened Dong Zhuo's monstrous future, Chen Zhi naturally did not dare to be presumptuous.

"Nighthawk says you're good at training infantry?"

Li Ru sat in the middle of the room, his eyes fixed on Chen Dao, wanting to see through the other party's heart.

"Not bad."

Chen Zhi raised his head slightly.

"Mountain Army, train me a Mountain Army!"

Li Ru stood up, walked in front of Chen Zhi, and looked at each other.

He had just come into contact with the ten newcomers trained by Chen Zhi, which was exactly the standard of Jinyiwei that he had always wanted in his heart, ruthless and ruthless, and not afraid of death.

"How many people and how long will it take?"

Chen Zhi asked calmly.

"Ten thousand people, two years!"

Li Ru and Jia Xu talked in the letter, and they have a very clear understanding of the plan after the annexation of the state army, and after taking Yuzhou, the next goal is to enter Sichuan!

Because once Yuzhou is conquered by Lu Bu and the alarm bell wakes up, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places will definitely follow the example of the six Kwantung countries of that year and adopt the technique of connecting and crossing to resist Lu Bu.

And Jiangdong and Jingzhou will also unite to prevent Lu Bu from going south.

So only Xichuan Yizhou, which is isolated by the mountains, remains!

The Bingzhou army can rely on Jingzhaoyin, where Chang'an is located, as a large rear, as a support, first take Hanzhong, and then use this as a springboard to go all the way south to conquer Yizhou.

When Yizhou stabilized, the first army marched east along the Yangtze River, and the first army moved south from Yuzhou to jointly capture Jingzhou.

In the end, the war strategy from the northwest to the southeast was adopted to complete the great unification.

"Are you going to enter the river? Commander-in-Chief? ”

Chen Zhi asked.

"Not bad." Li Ru nodded, the Sichuan land is mountainous, and the cavalry of the state is useless, and the battle for Shu has to rely on foot soldiers.

"Good!"

Chen Zhi responded.

Li Ru turned around and picked up the pen and paper, wrote a letter, and when he was done, folded it, sealed it, and handed it to Chen Dao.

"Take this letter to Jinyang to find Tian Yuanhao, and he will solve the problem of the source of troops for you."

Chen Zhi took the letter, solemnly put it in his arms, and thanked Li Ru.

"Commander-in-Chief Xie recommends! But where the command makes it useful in the future, Uncle Chen will never give up! ”

......

Before leaving this place, Chen Zhi turned around and glanced at the back, and silently thought in his heart: Han Wenyue, you'd better not die so quickly!

......

In the small courtyard, after Chen Zhi left, Liu Er took a step forward.

"Commander-in-chief, do you want me to follow him?"

"No, I'm interested in your endless ways of torturing people!"

Li Ru waved his hand.

"If you have a chance, you will definitely show it to the commander-in-chief!"

Liu Er arched his hand, and he was recommended by Ma Yiyi to Hongnong County to find Li Ru, and Li Ru took him to Youfufeng.

"Don't rush yet." Li Ru said, then turned around and asked Nighthawk, "What is Dong Zhongying's recent situation?" ”

Dong Zhuo is crazy!

This is something that Li Ru only learned recently.

Thinking of the days when he and Dong Zhuo jointly controlled the government, Li Ru couldn't help but sigh.

Falling from a height all of a sudden, Dong Zhuo couldn't adapt and became crazy.

Li Ru has never been a person who misses the old love, and the reason why he pays attention to Dong Zhuo's dynamics is entirely because there are still 80,000 Xiliang Iron Riders here!

"Since Niu Fu was assassinated, the Xiliang Army has strengthened its vigilance, and now it is difficult to find out the inside information of the other party."

Nighthawk reported truthfully.

Before the assassination came out, Caitou could often squat at the door of Han Sui's mansion, and Nighthawk could often enter the Niu Fu courtyard by buying and other means.

Now that the investigation is tight, the two of them have also reduced the number of times they wander around the city, and Li Ru can come in from outside the city, and the two of them have spent a lot of thought.

"In the Xiliang Army, have you developed an informant?"

Li Ru asked Nighthawk.

"I developed one, and I can't move it yet."

Nighthawk Dao, that informant has a low status in the Xiliang Army, he can't get in touch with the core content at all, and he can't see Niu Fu and others, if he is exposed too early, all the previous arrangements will be in vain.

"That's not in a hurry, I'll figure it out."

Li Ru groaned.

......

Zhang Xiu has been in Henan Yin for a while, he and Ma Chao set off at the same time, and I don't know if Ma Chao has found Cao Jun's grain route.

"Forget it."

Zhang Xiu shook his head.

"Report!"

The sentry rushed back from the front, rushed to Zhang Xiu, and said anxiously: "Twenty miles ahead, I found the traces of Cao Jun, and the other party seems to be in a hurry. ”

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the sentinel to lead the way.

Five thousand Xiliang iron horses, the horse's hooves brought up a lot of dust, all rushed in one direction, and gradually disappeared into the smoke.

The detectives kept reporting, and the closer they got to the enemy, the more excited Zhang Xiu's heart became.

The general reminded Zhang Xiu that their task was to harass the enemy army, not fight to the death.

"I understand that!"

Zhang Xiu raised his spear and ordered the soldiers to speed up the march.

......

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan escorted Cheng Yu and led six thousand elite horsemen to rush to Cao Cao.

This cavalry is basically the elite of Cao Cao's cavalry, so Cheng Yu was asked to accompany him as a member of the army, and there is no room for error.

"Mr. Zhongde, why are you withdrawing?"

Xiahou Yuan asked.

They are a cavalry, they can take advantage of their high mobility to attack Luoyang urgently, and no matter how bad they are, they can cut off Lu Bu's grain route, why did they choose to withdraw their troops at this moment and join forces with Cao Cao?

"We are alone in the depths, we have already been discovered when we attacked the other party's grain and grass last time, and the state army has already prepared, there is no chance!"

Cheng Yu replied to Xiahou Yuan on the back of a bumpy horse.

Before the march, Cao Cao told Cheng Yu that if he could destroy Lu Bu's grain and grass, then destroy it, and if he couldn't find the other party's grain transportation troops, he could use the speed of the cavalry to attack Luoyang without being discovered.

Now that their troops have failed to destroy food, and their whereabouts have been discovered by the other party, it is no longer suitable for the plan of attacking Luoyang in a hurry.

Choosing to join forces with Cao Cao is the best choice.

As he spoke, a large amount of smoke rose on the horizon in the distance.

"Pass the order, and the whole army will be put on alert!"

Xiahoudun made a quick decision.

This time, most of them were still enemy troops, because only cavalry units could make up smoke and dust of this scale.

And in Cao's army, in addition to the 6,000 elite cavalry led by them, there are only 2,000 left around Cao Cao, and it is impossible to appear in the boundary of Henan Yin at this time.

In the Xiliang Army.

Zhang Xiuchuan gave an order: "Immediately divide into two troops, two thousand and a half each, rush to both sides of the enemy, if the other party counterattacks, don't fall in love, touch and go!" ”

The two armies gradually approached.

Xiahou Yuan was in the center of Cao's army, and when he saw the enemy approaching his own troops, he suddenly split into two and surrounded both sides, and immediately drank: "Mr. Zhongde, the other party wants to surround us, break through, right?" ”

Cheng Yu stopped Xiahou Yuan's behavior and analyzed: "The size of the other party is not much different from our army, and it may even be less than our army, so it can't form an encirclement, it may just be harassment, don't be affected by them, withdraw the army according to the original plan!" ”

Xiahoudun of the former army received an order and did not go to battle, but carried out the order and withdrew his troops as originally planned.

This is also the reason why Cheng Yu suggested that Xiahoudun be the former army and put Xiahouyuan by his side, these two brothers have very different personalities.

One is steady, the other is slightly impatient.

Zhang Xiu led five thousand iron horsemen to roar past, without looking back, and gradually moved away.
