After hearing the news that Cao Cao raised a large anti-flag in Chenliu's Suozao County and summoned all the princes to crusade against him, Dong Zhuo was furious. hurriedly sent the subordinates in the mansion to call Li Yu and others to the mansion to discuss matters.

At this time, Li Yu, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Lu Bu, Li Ru, Jia Xu and others all came to Dong Zhuo's mansion.

"Li Yu, what's going on with the Flying Bear Army?" Since the last time he pursued Liu Yi and lost nearly half of the Flying Bear Army, Dong Zhuo was furious, so he ordered Li Yu and Guo Xi to cultivate talents in the army to make up for the losses of the Flying Bear Army.

"Xiangguo, my subordinates have transferred thousands of elites from other places to supplement them, and there are currently five thousand people in the Flying Bear Army!" Li Yu replied respectfully.

Although there are more people than before, Dong Zhuo also knows that the combat effectiveness of the newly added soldiers will definitely not be comparable to the previous Flying Bear Army, but it is better than nothing, and Dong Zhuo has no energy to care about these at this time, as long as the Flying Bear Army is still there.

After asking about the Flying Bear Army, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Yu and the others in front of him, and angrily informed everyone about Cao Cao and the others' joint attack on Luoyang.

When they heard this, they were shocked and began to talk in the hall.

After discussing for a while, Dong Zhuo beckoned to everyone, and everyone hurriedly quieted down when they saw this.

"Our family has already sent people to inquire about the news of the princes from all walks of life, and the news will be returned soon, you must train the soldiers now, and be ready for battle!" After speaking, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru beside him again, "I'm afraid that the news of Luoyang sent by the princes from all walks of life will soon spread all over Luoyang City, you must send someone to keep an eye on those ministers, but if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately, and in a hurry, you can cut it first and then play!" ”

Li Ru on the side saw that Dong Zhuo had given him such a big right, and he was overjoyed, and nodded his head again and again.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo began to study with everyone how to block the affairs of the princes from all walks of life outside Luoyang City, and while they were discussing, suddenly the soldiers outside brought up an unkempt man.

"Who is this?" Dong Zhuo asked loudly as he pointed to the soldiers outside the door.

Hearing this, one of them saluted Dong Zhuo and replied, "Back to Xiangguo, this person claimed to be Liu Yi's previous adviser, and the villain saw that he was sneaky outside the mansion, so he caught him in and listened to Lord Xiangguo's fate!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the city looked shocked.

"Bring it up!" Dong Zhuo poked his head and shouted.

"Get on your knees!" After seeing the man escorted up, the soldiers around him kicked him and knelt in front of Dong Zhuo and the others.

Looking at the unkempt man in front of him, Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked vigilantly, "You said you are Liu Yi's strategist?" ”

When the man in the hall heard this, he raised his head, shook the messy hair that stood in front of his face, and said proudly, "Exactly!" ”

Seeing this person's unruly appearance, Dong Zhuo suddenly became interested, laughed, and then asked, "What's your name?" How did you come all the way to our house? ”

The man looked at Dong Zhuo, and then at Li Yu and the others beside Dong Zhuo and replied, "I am Cheng Yu, the first strategist under Liu Yi, as for why I came to Xiangguo's mansion, of course I want to ask Xiangguo for an official and a half-job!" ”

"You're so daring! How dare you be so rude! Seeing that Cheng Yu did not show respect for Dong Zhuo in his words, Li Ru on the side pointed at Cheng Yu and scolded, just when Li Ru wanted to continue the attack, Dong Zhuo on the side waved his hand to stop him.

"Hehe~ The first strategist? Our family has only seen Liu Yi have a strategist surnamed Xi, but I really don't know that there is such a person as you! ”

Hearing Dong Zhuo's slightly sarcastic words, Cheng Yu's expression immediately changed, and he said angrily, "If it weren't for me, would he Liu Yi be able to defeat Gongsun Zhan?" That drama is just a fame and flattery! ”

Listening to Cheng Yu chattering and scolding Xi Zhicai in the hall, Dong Zhuo was a little happy in his heart, but Dong Zhuo, who has always been cautious, still didn't believe Cheng Yu's words.

"Since you are so powerful, it stands to reason that Liu Yi should treat you as a military advisor and favor you, why did you leave Liu Yi and run to our house now?"

Cheng Yu in the hall replied with a look of resentment when he heard this, "Just because I killed one of his brothers in defending the city before, Liu Yi has long held a grudge against me, and this time I suggested that he mobilize all his troops to attack the adults, he actually thought that I wanted to take away the army, and then plot against his county town!" In a fit of rage, he escaped! ”

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru on the side suspiciously, Li Ru understood, stood up and sneered at Cheng Yu, "Hmph~ Mr. Cheng, don't you think we are stupid?" You are embarrassed to say such a flawed reason! ”

After Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru finished speaking, Cheng Yu silently did not reply, his face turned cold, and he shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Pull it out and cut it!" ”

When several soldiers heard this, they set up Cheng Yu and were about to leave, but Cheng Yu not only did not beg for mercy, but raised his head and laughed.

"Wait!" Seeing Cheng Yu laughing, Dong Zhuo stopped a few soldiers, and then frowned and looked at Cheng Yu, "Why are you laughing?" ”

"Hmph~ I thought you were a hero who could dominate the world, but I didn't expect to see it today, but you are just a mouse-eyed person!"

People, sometimes it's really complicated, after getting tired of listening to the words around him, once someone dares to scold himself in person, not only will he not be angry, but he will have a trace of comfort, maybe this is what people often say "cheap skin", and Dong Zhuo happens to be such a "cheap skin".

Seeing Cheng Yu's disrespectful words, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud, not only did not kill Cheng Yu, but also gave Cheng Yu a seat.

"Come on, come on~ You have a good talk with our family, why is our family a rat-eyed person, well-said, our family will not only spare your life, but also reward you with high-ranking officials!"

As soon as he heard Dong Zhuo talk about high-ranking officials, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up, and the whole person became energetic, Cheng Yu's performance not only did not cause Dong Zhuo's disgust, but made Dong Zhuo begin to believe his words.

"My lord doesn't know, at this time, the princes of the Eighteen Roads have been assembled outside, and the army is no less than 100,000, and as far as I know, the Xiliang army under Lord Dong is only about 30,000, and the total number of newly recruited recruits is only 40,000 or 50,000. The gap between the enemy and me is so huge, Lord Dong didn't make preparations immediately, but instead fought with his subordinates here

Let's talk, isn't this a mouse's eye? ”

Just when Cheng Yu said that there were more than 100,000 troops outside, everyone in the hall had already begun to panic.

"Impossible! Those so-called princes are just some county guards, and there will be so many people there? You are less alarmist in this! Ushisuke stood up and objected.

Cheng Yu glanced at Niu Fu, and then replied lightly, "The small county guard has three or two thousand people, and the big one has nearly 10,000 people, and Liu Yi's subordinates alone have dispatched nearly 20,000 troops this time. ”

Hearing Cheng Yu say this, Dong Zhuo suddenly panicked, if it is as Cheng Yu said, I am afraid that outside the division, there are really hundreds of thousands of troops gathered, and with only 40,000 or 50,000 people under his command, I am afraid that he will really not be able to defend the city.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo tentatively asked Cheng Yu, "Then I don't know how to deal with this hundreds of thousands of troops according to Mr. Cheng's opinion?" ”

Cheng Yu replied with the appearance of an old god: "Divide the troops to attack it!" ”

"Oh? I don't know how to divide the troops? Dong Zhuo asked curiously.

Cheng Yu got up and replied, "Of the eighteen princes, only Liu Yi's team is the largest, so according to the following opinion, we should first send heavy troops to drag Liu Yi's side, and then break the rest of the princes one by one, so that the coalition army can be leveled!" ”

Dong Zhuo stared at Cheng Yu for a moment, and then did not agree or object, but instead instructed Jia Xu on the side, "Wenhe, Mr. Cheng has come all the way, he must be tired, you take Mr. Cheng down to rest first, and then discuss big things with our family!" ”

"No!" Jia Xu responded, and then got up and walked out of the main hall with Cheng Yu.

As soon as the two of them left Dong Zhuo's mansion, Jia Xu pulled Cheng Yu into a corner where no one was around.

"Mr. Cheng is afraid that he was not sent by Liu Yi to murder Xiangguo, right?" Jia Xu looked at Cheng Yu with a fierce face.

I saw Cheng Yu look at Jia Xu in surprise, and then said, "What did you say, my lord?" I'm a weak scholar, Liu Yi wouldn't have sent me if he really sent someone! ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu looked at Cheng Yu for a moment, then didn't speak again, and took the lead in taking Cheng Yu to a house.

On Dong Zhuo's side, as soon as Cheng Yu and the others left, Dong Zhuo instructed Li Ru, "You immediately send someone to Zhuo County to find out the truth, our family is worried that this surnamed Cheng is a spy sent by Liu Yi!" ”

When Li Ru heard this, he leaned over and said to Dong Zhuo, "In this case, why don't you kill him, why do you have to leave his life?" ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "This person knows the situation over there over there, and it is useful for our family to keep him." You can't kill it at this time! After speaking, Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Budao beside him again, "Fengxian, you send some people to secretly stare at the person surnamed Cheng, and report it as soon as there is any movement!" ”

"Yes!"

After ordering everyone, Dong Zhuo began to think about the way to divide the troops that Cheng Yu said just now.

......

On the side of Zhuo County, because the biggest threat Zhang Chun had been killed by Liu Yi, Liu Yi, who had no worries, mobilized almost the entire county's troops, a total of nearly 50,000

The army and the soldiers marched to Luoyang in three ways.

One of them was led by Liu Yi and Zhang Fei, a total of 20,000 people, all the way to the south to Luoyang, the remaining two roads, each with 15,000 people, one led by Guan Yu, one led by Yao Lie, the two teams rested during the day, marched at night, and marched in some places where mountains and forests and dense valleys were not easy to be found.

In order to prevent a small group of thieves from taking advantage of the situation to enter Zhuo County, Liu Yi also specially borrowed 10,000 horses from Liu Yu to assist in the defense of Zhuo County.

And the princes of other states and counties also began to reorganize their military horses at this time, and began to gradually march in the direction of Luoyang.
