The good news was spread frequently, so that Dong Zhuo couldn't keep his mouth shut, especially when he saw that the coalition army only had Cao Cao on the Xingyang good news, he was even more happy, it seemed that the coalition army was really not monolithic, and only Cao Cao came to attack Xingyang, and immediately ordered Li Ru to send an envoy as soon as possible to divide the Kwantung princes.

Choosing this point in time, Dong Zhuo naturally thought it through, that is, to use strength and interests to aggravate the internal contradictions of the coalition forces.

Several days passed, and there was no news of the envoys to Hanoi and Luyang, and only one of the more than a dozen envoys to Sujube returned to Luoyang.

Li Ru came to see Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, and the latter hurriedly summoned the envoy into the house.

Footsteps sounded, the messenger was carried into the house by two armor soldiers, his face was tired, but he still insisted on giving a salute, Dong Zhuo walked quickly in front of him, stretched out his hand to support the messenger, personally held him and sat down in front of a wooden table on one side, and then motioned for the two armor soldiers to leave.

The armor soldier bowed and retreated, Dong Zhuo retreated to the main seat, looked at the envoy in the dust, sweating profusely, and said, "This trip is hard for you." ”

"I am willing to serve Xiangguo to the death!"

"Okay." Dong Zhuo motioned for him not to speak yet, and drank the hot wine that Li Ru poured for him to slowly refresh.

The messenger took the wine bottle from Li Ru's hand, thanked him for his kindness, stared at the steaming palace wine, tears immediately welled up in his eyes, and he suddenly lifted the wine bottle, and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

"Whew."

The messenger who was breathing rapidly drank the hot wine and slowed down for a long time before he struggled to stand up, his face full of bitterness, and even more with a look of deep worry, and said, "Xiangguo, the big thing is not good. It's a big deal! ”

"Looks like you didn't bring me good news." Dong Zhuo, who was pleasant-looking, immediately sank his face, and said gloomily: "Let's talk about the specific situation." ”

Li Ru on the side was silent. In fact, the messenger didn't say anything, he could guess such a result. It can be said that he foresaw this situation as early as when he sent them to Kwantung, how easy is it to get the Kwantung princes to withdraw from the coalition army, just like he said to Dong Zhuo at the time, the main purpose is to divide the coalition army and make them suspicious of each other, but looking at the current appearance of the envoy, it is estimated that they have not even been able to suspect each other, but the Kwantung coalition army has been defeated in successive battles, and now he is not worried at all, since the coalition army is carrying it hard, it will not disintegrate the alliance. Then he will defeat them and disintegrate them.

"Xiangguo, I was ordered to meet with Qiao Mao of the coalition army, although he did not directly agree to withdraw from the coalition army, but he also hinted that he would not take the initiative to provoke, but the key is ......"

"That's a good thing."

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru glanced at each other, and said that this must be a great good thing, isn't this just dividing the coalition army, but the key is that the envoy still has something to say behind, and this is the most important. If it weren't for the fact that his breathing suddenly became short, the two of them didn't know what the hell was in the Kwantung Coalition Army, but that's it, Li Ru's heart immediately hung up. And Dong Zhuo was even more angry: "Tell me quickly, what is the key!" ”

The envoy hurriedly said: "Xiangguo, the minister only found out about it in the coalition army later." There is a reason why the coalition forces are no longer actively provoking, they are going to raid Wuguan. even had to go north to Tongguan, and the ultimate goal was to trap Xiangguo in Luoyang. When the grain and grass in Luoyang are exhausted, we will win without a fight! ”

"What!"

Dong Zhuo, who exclaimed in surprise, couldn't even hold the wine bottle in his hand steadily, and when he screamed, the wine splashed, regardless of it, he looked at Li Ru who was standing diagonally opposite, his face became more and more gloomy. And Li Ru didn't speak for a long time after the envoy finished talking about the latest developments of the coalition army, and he didn't even roll his eyes, staring directly at a map of Yugong on one side of the wall and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Beloved son-in-law? Loving son-in-law? Dong Zhuo was a little frightened, if the coalition forces really cut off their retreat, then what should they do, hurriedly called Li Ru, wanting to ask him, but Li Ru paced to the map with a heavy heart, ignored Dong Zhuo, turned to the messenger and suddenly asked, "Do you know how the coalition army is going to march into Wuguan, and even go north to Tongguan, do you know who this plan is from?" ”

"The minister found out the news from the mouth of Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and later bought off the guards in front of his account, and he knew a lot about this matter, and it was the minister who knew the specific deployment of the coalition army, and then he said everything he knew, and the westward Wuguan will be launched by the Luyang coalition army, and then go north to Tongguan when the time is ripe, and the sour jujube generals will guard Chenggao, according to Aocang, Saiyuyuan, Taigu, and the main force of Hanoi will come to Mengjin again. And the person who offered this plan was Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry. The messenger was convincing.

"From the mouth of the guard in front of Qiao Mao's tent?"

Qiao Maozi Yuanwei, a native of Juyang of Liang State, is the son of the late Taiwei Qiao Xuan clan, and moved to Dongjun Taishou with Yanzhou Thorn History. After Dong Zhuo entered the city and Yuan Shao went to Jizhou, it was Cao Cao's inscription and his false name of the three dukes that contributed to the alliance, which can be said to be one of the four bandit leaders of the three coalition forces, whether it was the news obtained from his mouth or the accurate information obtained by the guards who bought him, there was no credibility at all, Dong Zhuo's tone became very flat, and he didn't care, and said: "Beloved son-in-law, Qiao Yuanwei's words are not credible. ”

"Xiangguo, there is no wind and no waves, you must guard against it." Li Ru said worriedly.

"Then send someone to the coalition forces to investigate?"

"Well, not only that, but also make other preparations, while continuing to send people to the coalition forces to investigate, we have to hurry up the matter of moving the capital."

"Move the capital?" Dong Zhuo paced back and forth in the house, almost one step at a time, stopping and walking, and after winning a streak, he was a little unwilling to quit Luoyang.

Li Ru looked forward to Xiangguo's decision as soon as possible, looking at Xiangguo's faltering steps, he really wanted to resist the pressure from the government and the opposition for him, and then make a decision.

"Okay, make preparations with both hands, at a critical time, but there are those who block the relocation of the capital, and there is no forgiveness!" Dong Zhuo made up his mind, if Wuguan Tongguan was really occupied by the coalition army, then he and his Xiliang army would be wiped out, no matter whether this matter was true or not, he didn't have the courage to gamble, in this case, it was better to move the capital as soon as possible, and it would be better to do it all at once. It was precisely after thinking of this that at the moment when he said the word "no forgiveness", Dong Zhuo's whole body revealed a strong killing aura, which made Li Ru finally breathe a sigh of relief, although he had undoubtedly missed a lot of opportunities to retreat now, but it could make the coalition army intensify the division, if he expected it to be right, Qiao Mao was not unintentionally revealed the important news of the sneak attack on Wuguan at all, but he deliberately revealed it, as for the first soldier in front of the account was bought, it was just a set set by Qiao Mao, as for why, it is nothing more than these possibilities, one, Woo Xiang Guo. Second, there are divisions within the coalition forces. The third is to scare away Xiangguo.

is worthy of being a son of the Qiao Xuan clan, really shrewd, but no matter what your purpose is, as long as I release this news, the first person to die will be you Qiao Mao.

~~~~~~

When Dong Zhuo was preparing to move the capital, Yuan Shao made a special trip from Hanoi to the camp of the sour jujube princes, and raised the account as soon as possible, Liu Lan was naturally invited, but this time Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also qualified to attend the meeting, the reason was naturally because the reputation of the two in Xingyang War I rose, and Cao Cao loved it, so heroic, how could they be excluded from the account, and the two were qualified to participate in the meeting in one sentence.

The big tent is still the main tent of Yuan Shao when the alliance is due, and when the three of them go to the main tent, they see two rows of armor standing in front of the door, one by one with distinct armor, with a lofty spirit, a sword at the waist, a halberd in hand, and a strict guard, until this moment Liu Lan found that it was not outside the camp, but that the entire camp was much more heavily guarded than before.

"Today's atmosphere is a little wrong, so keep some heart." commanded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Liu Lan entered the account first. (To be continued......)
