Between the gestures of his hand, Yuan Shao gained Wang Kuang's territory and generals, from the previous loss of soldiers to generals, day and night, he became strong again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When the morale of the Kwantung princes was low and the situation collapsed, Yuan Shao took a new step decisively, that is, let the strategist Fengji quietly rush to Baibo Valley.

On the surface, Yuan Shao naturally did not forget to keep in touch with the Kwantung princes at all times, and Yuan Shao also expressed his grief at Wang Kuang's unfortunate death, and personally rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass to discuss the next response with everyone.

Yuan Shao would never admit that he had hidden his selfishness, but said that Liu Guanzhang acted quickly and came unexpectedly, and Wang Kuang failed miserably, and he was unexpected.

The morale of the Kwantung princes is becoming more and more sluggish, and the rumors about the withdrawal of the army are spreading in the army, and at this moment, in the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Ru once again offered his plan.

"What? Wen You, you actually let the old man withdraw from the army? Why is that? Hurry up and explain it to the old man. ”

Obviously he had already occupied an absolute advantage, the Kwantung princes suffered a big defeat in a row, Dong Zhuo was high-spirited and ambitious, and was planning to sweep away the Kwantung rebellion in one go, but Li Ru actually proposed to let him withdraw from the army.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were round, and he was really puzzled!

Li Ru looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he brought his thin body in front of Dong Zhuo, "My lord, our army has won many victories, triumphant songs continue, and the Kwantung region has rebelled, most of them have the intention of retreating, and if they continue to stalemate like this, they will see that there is no hope, and they will definitely scatter as birds and beasts, and they will retreat one after another, I think, this is by no means what the lord wants to see." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, "This is nature, now is a godsend, the old man can't wait to kill all these rebels, so as to avoid future troubles, these thieves will not die, my heart is uneasy!" ”

These words were almost squeezed out of Dong Zhuo's teeth.

Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that the reason why he would have such a big upper hand was, in the final analysis, all the credit of Liu Guanzhang.

If Liu Guanzhang had not taken the initiative to set fire to the fire that night, the allies would not have suffered a fiasco, and nearly 100,000 allied troops were killed and wounded in the first battle, which also created conditions for Xu Rong to set up an ambush halfway, even if Wang Kuang was eliminated, tracing back to the source, it was also the cause and effect caused by Liu Bei and the three.

Satisfied with Liu Guanzhang and Dong Zhuofa, he was full of praise, even when he slept, Dong Zhuo often woke up from his dream with a smile in the past few days.

"Lord, I think the same, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once the Kwantung princes lead the troops to retreat and return to their own territory, in a few months, these people will become the climate again, at that time, they will not worry about soldiers and horses, there is no shortage of food and grass, and it will naturally be very unfavorable to the lord's hegemony, but since they are to be annihilated in a net, the lord must set them up with enough tempting bait, otherwise, this group of frightened birds will soon slip away from the lord's eyes."

Li Ru's implication is that Dong Zhuo has won several battles in a row, and these allied troops are frightened, and now they are all thinking about retreating, and if they don't give them a tempting bait, it will be difficult to lure these princes to take the bait.

"Wen You, you let the old man retire?"

This is simply a joke that slips the world, "The old man has been circulating good news day after day, and the Kwantung princes are not fools, if the old man retires from the army, doesn't this show that there must be fraud in it?" Such an obvious scheme can be seen through with your toes, how could the Kwantung princes be fooled? Wenyou, don't laugh with the old man. ”

"Hehe..." Li Ru squinted his eyes and smiled after hearing this.

Dong Zhuo has known his son-in-law for a long time, and when he saw this unpredictable expression on his face, Dong Zhuo's heart became a lot more steady, and he faintly felt that Li Ru was by no means joking.

"My lord, what you said is right, if we just retreat like this, the Kwantung princes will definitely not be fooled, but if we ...... What about moving the capital to Chang'an? ”

"Huh? Wenyou, you... The more he talked about it, the more confused the old man became. ”

Dong Zhuo was confused when he heard this, staring at Li Ru with both eyes, as if he wanted to see through what Li Ru was planning in his heart, but Li Ru was like a cunning fox, the more he stared at him, it would only make Dong Zhuo's heart more and more foggy.

Moving the capital?

This idea was thought about in Dong Zhuo's heart before coming to Tiger Prison this time.

If the battle is unfavorable, you must think of a way to retreat in advance, even if it is just a vague idea, at least, it will not be too passive at that time.

Although in the romance, Li Ru proposed to move the capital to Chang'an, but in fact, Dong Zhuo thought of this idea long before sending troops.

If you win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will withdraw, and moving the capital is a retreat that Dong Zhuo prepared for himself.

Sitting on hundreds of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and occupying the two invincible Xiongguan of Tiger Prison and Bishui, however, Dong Zhuo is not blindly arrogant, his mind has always remained absolutely sober, although he is full of evil, and the bad is pointed out, but he is not an incompetent straw bag.

"Hehehe..."

Li Ru explained with a smile: "Those who are worried about the lord are also the princes of the Eighteen Roads!" We just retreated, Yuan Shao and others will not be fooled, whoever is replaced, they all know that there is fraud in it, but if we move the capital, it will be logical to withdraw the army, and the allies will not be suspicious. ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still staring at him, with a puzzled face, Li Ru said again, "The lord took the initiative to move the capital, and the name is retreat, but it is actually an advance, because the relocation is fake, it is just a bait to lure the allies to take the bait, once the allies break through the Tiger Prison Pass and enter Luoyang, the lord can ......" As he spoke, Li Ru turned his palm over violently, "Turning over your hands, you can make the Kwantung rebellion come to naught!" ”

"Could it be that if we move the capital, Yuan Shao and they won't be suspicious?" Dong Zhuo still didn't understand.

If Dong Zhuo loses the battle, whether he retreats or moves the capital, it is all reasonable, and the Kwantung princes will not be suspicious.

However, the current situation, on the contrary, Dong Zhuo won the battle, and it was one victory after another, at this time, if he retreated and moved the capital, does anyone believe it?

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Lord, you are too worried, you move the capital at this time, the princes of Kwantung must think that the lord has no ambition to dominate the Central Plains, they will think that the lord just wants to sit in a corner and enjoy the wealth, the lord is from Xiliang, satisfied with what he gets in front of him, how can outsiders be suspicious, they think very highly of themselves one by one, not only will they not be suspicious, but they will laugh in their hearts that the lord has no ambition, and this is exactly what we want. ”

"Do you really want to do that?" Dong Zhuo still had some worries in his heart after all.

Li Ruyun smiled lightly, "And this is the master's cleverness, this is our initiative to retreat, not passive retreat, the Kwantung princes have also seen the invincible military might of my Xiliang soldiers, and they have long had a jealous heart in their hearts, they wish we would retreat, and will never continue to lead the troops to provoke, this is the time for them to divide up the war exploits, even if Luoyang is an empty city, they will also rush to enter the city, an empty city, will soon become the evidence of their military exploits, they will inform the world, they defeated the lord, a big victory, But who knew that this empty city, where they showed off their military exploits, would soon become a tomb for them to bury. ”
