"Wencai, you led the men and horses, took a boat from Pingyin to the north, made a big fanfare, and raised the banner of the prime minister, saying that the prime minister would personally cross the river to attack Yuan Shao."

Hu Zhen stepped forward to receive the order.

"Feng Xian, you used to garrison troops in Hanoi and are familiar with geography. When Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang were lured by Hu Zhen, they led 5,000 elite soldiers and horses to cross the river from Pingjin in Pingxian County on the other side at night, and went around to Wang Kuang's back to attack. Ben Xiang personally pressed the formation, and he was bound to defeat Wang Kuang in one fell swoop. ”

Lu Bu promised loudly and said: "Xiangguo rest assured, Wang Kuang Xiao'er, if he regards it as a mustard, he will take his head and dedicate it to Xiangguo." ”

Dong Zhuo said again: "Maybe Yuan Shu is still looking forward to the old man and Yuan Shao having a lose-lose fight, so that he can come out and pick up a bargain, since this is the case, the old man will follow his wishes." ”

Dong Zhuo naturally would not put all his hopes on the discord between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and would not send troops. He also sent two generals, Xu Rong and Li Meng, to lead 10,000 cavalry to the direction of Nanyang in case Yuan Shu sent troops. If Yuan Shu does not send troops, it will be counted as a plunder on the spot, and if Yuan Shu feels that there is a advantage to take advantage of, he will be caught off guard.

Seeing Dong Zhuo giving orders loudly and in an orderly manner, all the generals in the big tent were shocked, as if they had returned to the days when Dong Zhuo was shocked and cool.

Hu Zhen, the word is literary. Listening to Dong Zhuo's order, Hu Zhen was unhappy, he was a lord of Liangzhou, and his family was also a powerful man in Liangzhou. Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, his generals have not been able to serve as lieutenant generals and lieutenants, and only Hu Zhen has been the Taishou of Dongjun, although he is only in name and has not really taken office, which also shows his high status and prestige in the Liangzhou army. If you are a suspicious soldier for Dong Zhuo, naturally there is nothing to say, but now that you want to cover Lu Bu, Hu Zhen is very dissatisfied in his heart, but because Dong Zhuo is above, Hu Zhen did not attack on the spot, but secretly hated Lu Bu in his heart.

Lu Bu, the word Fengxian, the five original people, brave crown in the state, Lu Busheng's figure grew up and strong, he bowed the horse, the strength was outstanding, and he was called a flying general. There is "Lu Bu among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses." "Titled.

When he was under Ding Yuan, Lu Bu was deeply loved by Ding Yuan and served as Ding Yuan's chief bookkeeper. Many people talk about this, thinking that Lu Bu has been the master, both civil and military. Some people also think that Lu Bu bravely crowned the three armies, but deigned to be a master, because Ding Yuan did not know people and used people unfairly. In fact, Ding Yuan is a history of the state assassin, which is a typical weight and low position, with only a rank of 600 stones, which is worse than a county order, and has no right to award officials. Although the main Bo is only a small official, he is a close confidant of the assassin Shi, and it is estimated that Ding Yuan uses Lu Bu as the main Bo is just a name.

Since Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has also been deeply loved and sworn to be father and son. Moreover, because Dong Zhuo wanted to unite and merge with the people of the state, he repeatedly promoted Lu Bu, first to the commander of the cavalry, then to the general of Zhonglang, and then to the marquis of the capital.

And, the cool land, all are border areas, are all places where elite soldiers are produced, and the Bingzhou Army is also an elite army whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Liangzhou Army. After Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army was annexed by Dong Zhuo, part of it was under Lu Bu, and part of it was led by Dong Zhuo.

Most of Dong Zhuo's subordinates are from Liangzhou, they are all tigers and wolves, and they are already xenophobic, although they also understand Dong Zhuo's intention to treat Lu Bu favorably, but they are still dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's generous treatment of Lu Bu. Since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, out of various considerations, he has not given high-ranking officials to his beloved generals, but only lieutenant generals and captains. Lu Bu is just an outsider, and he is a man who betrays his lord and seeks glory, but he was rewarded by Dong Zhuo, and the Liangzhou army is naturally dissatisfied with Lu Bu.

And Lu Bu is also a person who thinks very highly of himself, he himself is greedy and untrustworthy, brave and arrogant, and has won Dong Zhuo's trust and love, as the leader of Dong Zhuo's people in the state, Lu Bu will not bend to the Liangzhou General School Committee under Dong Zhuo's account, so Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's generals have many discords.

Dong Zhuo naturally knew that the group of arrogant soldiers under his command were dissatisfied with Lu Buduo, and there were contradictions between the two sides from time to time. Dong Zhuo has nothing to do about this matter, the old subordinate Liangzhou soldiers are Dong Zhuo's capital to establish his life, and he must be appeased well, and the new subordinates and state soldiers cannot ignore it, so he has to let Lu Bu make more contributions in order to serve the public. The army still respects his military exploits, as long as Lu Bu makes military exploits, Dong Zhuo treats him well, and the soldiers of Liangzhou have nothing to say. It happened that Lü Bu was familiar with the terrain of Hanoi, so this battle called Lü Bu to lead the elite soldiers to attack Wang Kuang.

At the beginning, Cao Cao had no intention of courting Dong because of the sour jujube coalition, so he went to Hanoi to seek refuge with Yuan Shao. When he arrived in Hanoi, Cao Cao found that Yuan Shao's situation was actually not very good.

Yuan Shao originally had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and gave Cao Cao 10,000, but Cao Cao was defeated, and there were 20,000 people left, and Wang Kuangbu also had 20,000 horses.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was not as beautiful as he thought, Cao Cao was worried, and Yuan Shao also knew this, and he said to Cao Cao: "If the crusade against Dong Zhuo fails, what should I do." ”

Cao Cao said: "What do you want to do?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "I plan to base the Yellow River in the south, Yan and Dai in the north, and have the strong soldiers of Rong Di, and then seize the world in the south!" Will this be successful? ”

Cao Cao said: "I will appoint the wisdom and courage of the world, and use the Tao to control them, then there is nothing that cannot be done." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao was startled, came back to his senses, looked at Yuan Shao, and saw that Yuan Shao did not listen carefully to what he said, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, ambition cannot replace reality, and bold words cannot fill the stomach, Jizhou Mu Hanfu repeatedly did not send grain and grass, and wanted to force Yuan Shao to run out of food and disperse.

Cao Cao originally came to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, and even Yuan Shao's subordinates couldn't eat, let alone Cao Cao. Therefore, many of Cao Cao's soldiers also fled.

Cao Cao felt confused and distressed about this, so he wrote a poem called "Pickle Dew" to express his emotions:

"But Han XXII is not sincere.

Mu monkey and crown belt, know small and strong.

He hesitated and did not dare to decide, because he hunted the king.

Bai Hong is the sun, and he has also suffered first.

The thief holds the authority of the country, kills the lord and destroys Yujing.

Overthrew the emperor's foundation, and the temple was burned.

Sowing more and more westward migration, crying and walking.

The city of Zempolo, the micro-child is sad. ”

When Cao Cao was confused and painful, Dong Zhuo would not be idle.

In September, Dong Zhuo gathered tens of thousands of people at the ferry port in Pingyin County, with great fanfare, to build warships, with Hu Zhen as the commander, to make a situation of wanting to cross the river to the north and attack Heyangjin, where Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang was entrenched.
