Chapter Eighty-Seven: Invitations

Outside the city gates, horses' hooves were thundering, banners were waving, and groups of cavalry were pouring into the city from outside the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

During this time, almost every few days, Xiliang soldiers and horses will come from outside the city in the early morning, which is mighty and eye-catching. After such a few times, the strength of the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo suddenly soared, which made people jealous, and even Yan Shao was on guard.

After all, at this time, a rough calculation shows that there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Xiliang army, and the Dare to Pioneer army under him is only a thousand people.

Unlike the soldiers and horses in the Kanto, the Xiliang Army is a border army and fights against the Hu people all the year round, which is by no means comparable to the soldiers and horses of the Kanto. Not to mention that the current Dare First Army is still a little immature, even if it is the later Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, if there are only 1,000 people, I am afraid that it may not be able to compete with the Wanxi Liang Iron Cavalry.

"Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid I've already called all the cavalry troops in Xiliang..."Rubbing the position of his temples, Yan Shao said with a headache.

During this time, his subordinates have been inquiring about the news of the Xiliang Army, but every time the news is sent back, it will give him a few headaches. The influx of a large number of Xiliang troops made the situation in Luoyang change greatly. Originally, Yan Shao's soldiers and horses, coupled with Yuan Shao's Xiyuan Army and the rest of He Jin and He Miao, could be regarded as able to suppress Dong Zhuo steadily, but now the situation has been completely reversed.

Tai Shi Ci said with some joy. "Fortunately, Lord Stin also brought troops to the previous time, otherwise I am afraid that the situation will be out of control at this time."

Among the heroes of all parties called by He Jin, Ding Yuan was also among them, and compared with Yan Shao, Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army was much stronger, this time he brought almost 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus Yan Shao's Beihai soldiers and horses, the Xiyuan Army and the Northern Army of the imperial court, so that he was not really afraid of Dong Zhuo.

Just listening to Tai Shici talk about Ding Yuan, Yan Shao shook his head slightly.

He knew very well what would happen to this Lord Ding in the end.

However, he didn't care much about Ding Yuan, so he was a little curious about Lu Bu, after all, he was known as the man with the strongest force in the Three Kingdoms, even Tai Shici around him was much worse.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo's gang mobilized troops and horses to Luoyang like this, could it be some scheme?" Sun Guan asked beside him.

"Who knows..."Yan Shao sighed. I have talked to Master Wang Zishi about this matter, if it is launched at this time, with the strength in our hands, Dong Zhuo may not be able to drive Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang. It's just that the prince and the master thought that the imperial court was newly decided and it was not suitable for another incident, but now there is no chance..."Naturally, Yan Shao also expected that the prince and the prince would not agree, so he suggested so.

Tai Shici and the others were also very aware of the temperament of those officials, and sighed one after another, hoping that the situation would not develop in the worst direction.

It's just that maybe it's because the soldiers and horses under his command are stronger, Dong Zhuo's behavior has gradually become violent, and every day the ironclad army opens the way and runs rampant in the market, making the whole Luoyang chicken and dog restless, and the Xiliang army has no military discipline at all, and does all kinds of evil to rob and plunder the people in the city.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's army was strong, and the ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

They don't know that these are actually Dong Zhuo's strategies.

In other words, it was Li Ru's strategy for him.

When he first arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's troops were only more than 3,000 people, just as Dong Zhuo himself was worried, this amount of troops could not deter the ministers at all, let alone Dong Zhuo's own initiative to abolish the old and establish the new. Therefore, Li Rucai gave him a plan, that is, every four or five days, he would withdraw most of his troops outside the city at night, and then transfer all the soldiers and horses into the city during the day.

In this way, it is easy to form an illusion of an endless stream of thousands of troops, those ministers sat in Luoyang in the past, and they were almost frightened by the illusion formed by Dong Zhuo, where did they dare to have any deviant behavior?

However, Dong Zhuo himself also knows very well that the illusion will eventually be exposed, and all that he has done before can only be regarded as an expedient measure, and running rampant in the street market is just to further deepen the illusion, making them mistakenly think that Dong Zhuo is so unscrupulous because of his great increase in strength, and he is even more afraid in his heart―――――― of course, Dong Zhuo's own character is the same.

And after scaring everyone, Dong Zhuo started his next move.

At this time, Luoyang, in addition to his Xiliang Army, Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army and Yan Shao's Northern Sea Horse, was headed by the Xiyuan Army and the Northern Army. Originally, after Jian Shuo was killed, the Xiyuan Army obeyed He Jin, the general, but after He Jin was also killed, the Xiyuan Army was in a state of leaderlessness. Later, although a Yuan Shao was promoted, Yuan Shao himself could not control all the Xiyuan Army.

Compared with the Xiyuan Army, the Northern Army is even worse, but the Xiyuan Army still has a Yuan Shao who can support the scene, and others such as Cao Cao and Chun Yuqiong can also help, but the Northern Army is completely finished.

Originally, there were two leaders in the Northern Army, one was He Jin, and the other was He Jin's younger brother He Miao.

But He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, and what about He Miao? He Miao was also close to the eunuchs, and finally when he killed the ten permanent servants, he was also broken into pieces, and the result was that the northern army is now leaderless and in a mess.

So Dong Zhuo, under the planning of Li Ru, vigorously annexed the Northern Army. In this way, Dong Zhuo, who was originally just bluffing, has the ability to really compete with Xiyuan Jun and Ding Yuan.

As for Yan Shao, who had briefly fought against Dong Zhuo at the beginning? is completely a supporting role in this chaotic situation.

After all, a thousand troops and horses are really nothing in today's Luoyang.

"If I can bring all the soldiers and horses in Beihai, I'm afraid they will be able to take a look at it..."Glancing at the invitation, Yan Shao laughed at himself.

After annexing the Northern Army and a small part of the Xiyuan Army, Dong Zhuo has now become the most powerful party in Luoyang, and it was at this time that Dong Zhuo sent an invitation to the hundred officials of Luoyang, and Yan Shao was naturally included in it.

"Lord, what about tomorrow's banquet?" Maybe there hasn't been much atmosphere in the city recently, and Tai Shici's expression is a little solemn.

"Act at the opportunity, Ziyi, you and Yuanfu go with me, Zhongtai, you are ready to answer at any time outside the city..."

"Yes!"

Looking at the invitation card in his hand, Yan Shao sneered. "This time, I'm afraid there will be no good feast..."

Probably no one knows better than him what this invitation means.
