Leaving Taigu Pass, Li Dao stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and glanced back at Taigu Pass with palpitations.

Li Dao secretly said to himself in his heart: I have heard that Sun Jian is brave and fierce, known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", and he is really irritable. However, Liu Xuande, although he was against Xiangguo, still respected the court and the Son of Heaven.

How did Li Dao know that in the future, he would also be in charge of the imperial court and "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes". Liu Bei is just relying on himself to know the future development, to be a favor, and to be a favor, wanting to bargain in the hands of Li Dao in the future and get a higher name. In fact, the current imperial court only has such a nominal function left, and Liu Bei will not let it go, and he will use it.

Returning to Luoyang Biguiyuan, Li Zhuo entered and told Dong Zhuo what he had seen and heard, Dong Zhuo saw that Li Dao returned in vain, not only did not get angry, but laughed.

Everyone was shocked, and said that what happened to this fat man, could it be that he was hit too hard, and there was something wrong with his spirit, otherwise when this bad news came, why would he still laugh.

Liu Ai is Dong Zhuo's long history, known as talented, and a member of the Han family, Dong Zhuo also values Liu Ai quite a lot on weekdays, seeing Dong Zhuo laughing, Liu Ai asked Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo has a broad mind, a large amount of tolerance, tolerance and kindness, not to Sun and Liu as rebels, but to treat them with kindness and righteousness, to seal them with a beautiful lord, to worship them with a heroic position, how generous, and the two thieves do not know what to do, they actually refuse to be good, this sincerity is hateful, why is Xiangguo laughing?" ”

Dong Zhuo looked at the people left and right, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he made a look of "confident", and said: "Sun and Liu's two children, I am also in the middle, so I can't stop laughing." ”

Everyone couldn't figure it out, but Liu Ai would praise it and asked: "Xiangguo's magic is clever, I can't wait, and Xiangguo will solve our doubts." ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Sun and Liu's coalition army, winning consecutive battles, morale is high, how can they give up halfway at this time, I have long expected that the two of them will not accept my request for peace." ”

Liu Ai had already understood at this time, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Since Xiangguo had expected it, Sun and Liu would not accept peace, but why did Xiangguo negotiate peace with the two thieves. ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Sun and Liu, the two thieves, since they set out from Yuzhou, have won many battles and are quite arrogant, why did they hold back after occupying Taigu Pass. It is because there are few soldiers of the two thieves, and there are many soldiers in our army, so they do not dare to come. The two thieves occupy a favorable position, if our army tackles the key problems, the casualties will be heavy, I sent Li Dao to negotiate peace with it, this is to show weakness, it is a plan to be arrogant, I expect the two thieves to see me negotiate peace with me, will inevitably light me, in the near future, they will give up the geographical advantage, send troops to attack me, and wait for each to return to the camp to prepare, and break the enemy in the coming day. ”

Hearing that Dong Zhuo already had a plan against the enemy, and was even afraid that Sun and Liu would not come, all the generals in the tent were in good spirits, and they agreed to the promise, got up separately, and returned to the camp separately.

Seeing that all the generals were gone, leaving only the subordinate officials and staff in the Xiangguo Mansion, Dong Zhuo said to Liu Ai: "The troops in the Kwantung region have suffered repeated defeats, and they are all afraid of me. Only Sun Jian, who is quite able to use people, and who does have outstanding features, can be used! The generals should be told to be on guard. ”

Liu Ai said: "Although Sun Jian has a strange plan, he is not as good as Li Dao and Guo Yan. At the beginning, Xiangguo put down the rebellion in Xiliang, Sun Jian participated with the army, and I heard that in the north of Meiyang Pavilion, Sun Jian led more than 1,000 people to fight with the enemy, and lost all the seals, almost losing his life. ”

Dong Zhuo said: "The men and horses led by Sun Jian at that time were all rabble, the soldiers were not as good as the captives, and the battle was advantageous and blunt, and it should not be completely judged by success or failure. At that time, if Zhang Wen used a lonely strategy and Zhou Shen used Sun Jian's strategy, he might be able to pacify Liangzhou, but unfortunately Zhou Shen's child did not use his strategy. Zhang Wen didn't use Lone's strategy, and Zhou Shen didn't listen to Sun Jian's advice, and finally failed. At that time, Sun Jian was a small Zuojun Sima, and his views were roughly the same as mine, and he did have outstanding points. However, this time he followed Er Yuan, the two gentlemen, and he really killed himself! ”

Sighing, Dong Zhuo said again: "As long as you kill Er Yuan, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, the world will naturally obey me!" ”

Liu Ai said: "Xiangguo sees thousands of miles, and the ministers can't reach it." ”

"You can also step down, Wen You will stay for a while." Dong Zhuo ordered the others to retreat, leaving only Li Ru, the son-in-law, and even Jia Xu, who was born in Xiliang, could not stay.

Although Li Ru was also a resourceful man, he was also fooled by Dong Zhuo, and really thought that Dong Zhuo had a way to deal with Sun and Liu, and asked: "I don't know what kind of plan Xiangguo has, Confucianism is willing to hear about it." ”

Seeing that the outsiders were gone, leaving only his son-in-law, Dong Zhuo no longer made a "confident" look, and said: "I don't have any clever plans, but the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." ”

Li Ru is also a resourceful person, he was stunned at first, but after a moment's effort, he reacted and said: "It turns out that Xiangguo said this to stabilize people's hearts." Xiangguo stabilized the army's heart with this statement just now, so anxious, I can't match it, admire, admire. ”

Li Ru's admiration is really not a pat on the back of Dong Zhuo. Taigu Pass was broken by the Sun-Liu coalition army, from Taigu to Luoyang, but fifty miles, there is no danger on the way, there is Yuan Shao in Hanoi, and Yuan Shu in Nanyang, if Dong Zhuo is showing weakness at this time, he is only afraid that the morale of his men and horses will be lower, once the Sun-Liu coalition army fights over, I am afraid that it will be scattered in a hurry, it is not easy to say.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and asked Li Ru: "Needless to say, what tricks does Qing have to retreat from the enemy." ”

Li Ru thought for a while, nodded and said, "What Xiang Guo said just now, although it is a bluff, it is not unreasonable. ”

Dong Zhuo listened, raised his eyebrows, just now in front of the generals, Dong Zhuo said those words, purely to stabilize the morale of the army, and there was no deep meaning.

Li Ru continued: "What Xiangguo said is extremely true, sending Li Dao to negotiate peace with Sun and Liu is a plan for arrogance. Sun and Liu, the two thieves, have won consecutive battles, how can they not have a little arrogance in their hearts, and they have been invited by the prime minister to negotiate peace, so they should be an arrogant army. Xiangguo, there is no danger between Taigu Pass and Luoyang, and there are two Yuan on the side, eyeing each other. In my opinion, when the detective horse is sent to monitor the direction of Taigu Pass, once the two thieves of Sun and Liu set off, they will fight in a dignified battle, and they will attack it head-on, just defeat the two thieves of Sun and Liu, and naturally they can deter the world. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Li Ru: "What Wen You said is extremely true, I will order the army, kill pigs and sheep, feast on soldiers, and order the three armies to prepare for Sun and Liu. ”

Dong Zhuo is also a battle-hardened figure, and he is also a fierce general who was killed from the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and at this moment he was aroused by Li Ru's words, and he immediately sent an order to go out and ordered all armies to fight, just waiting for Sun Jian and Liu Bei to arrive and fight to the death.
