When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru moved their troops to the east and responded to the edict, they had already taken precautions and began to think about some important things in Liangzhou behind them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first is the problem of the source of troops, Dong Zhuo moved to Hedong, ready to take advantage of the convenience of the general He Jinzhi of the DPRK and the central government, to wait and see the situation of the struggle between all parties in the court, and then take the opportunity to intervene to seize the greatest interests of the heavy general in the DPRK as the defending side, and the support for him to participate in the life-and-death struggle for power in the DPRK and China is the elite man in his hand, this army does not belong to the local county and county soldiers, nor does it belong to the battalion controlled by the Luoyang court, it is purely Dong Zhuo can be privately dispatched, Righteous private soldiers with more flexibility and mobility.

Dong Zhuo is confident that at the critical moment when the struggle between the DPRK and China is fierce, the army in his hands will win a decisive victory no matter which camp it throws into.

Therefore, it is necessary for him to let Li Ru go back to his hometown in Lintao, Liangzhou, and secretly convene and prepare for the manpower and material resources accumulated in Lintao's hometown over the years, and Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, who are good friends with Dong Zhuo, are all Liangzhou adults, and they either live in Liangzhou, intermarry with the Qianghu ethnic groups, or support guests, shelter dead soldiers, and rangers to serve in the local heroes, at the right time, lure them to advantage, lead their soldiers and horses to the east, and fight with the courage and skill of Liangzhou elite cavalry, they will definitely be able to strengthen the momentum of Dong Zhuo who is trying to seek power in the court.

It is said that after Yan Zhong became the head of the coalition army, he still could not reverse the trend of the collapse and disintegration of the Liangzhou coalition army, and even he himself was seriously ill and died soon, as for who did it during this period, Dong Zhuo had no way of knowing, but he knew that this was a good opportunity for him to befriend the Liangzhou families and lead them as helpers. Although Dong Zhuo has repeatedly fought and killed the rebels in Liangzhou, but in essence, he is the same as the other families, he is a complete Liang person, he knows the temperament and temper of these strong and strong families, Lord Qianghu, if he can promise enough benefits to the other families, and even do not hesitate to tear the land and seal the marquis's reward, then he dare not say that he can completely let the family Ma Dongjin surrender to his command, but at least there is no problem in driving them to fight against the enemy with himself.

Finally, there is the concern about the Guanzhong region. In Dong Zhuo's eyes, in the entire Han Dynasty, all that can be taken now is nothing more than the soldiers and horses of You, He, and Liang Prefectures and the forbidden army and battalion soldiers guarding the east and west capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an. Although the cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, it was divided internally, and it would not be its opponent for the time being, so only the Liangzhou Elite Cavalry, the Fifth School of the Northern Army of Luoyang, the Eighth School of Xiyuan, and the battalions of Chang'an may become their opponents.

Among them, the fear of Guanzhong Huangfu Song is undoubtedly the greatest, although the Liangzhou elite cavalry is good at fighting, but how can each family have their own thoughts, it is difficult to work together to the outside world, the five schools of the Northern Army in Luoyang have been fighting endlessly in recent years, and the loss is not small, although there are the new eight captains in Xiyuan to supplement the strength of the forbidden army, but in Dong Zhuo's view, these seriously damaged, temporarily trained soldiers and horses are like local chickens and tile dogs, and they can be broken in a battle.

And only the Huangfu Song stationed in Chang'an is known as "the soldiers move like a god, and the plan is no longer planned", the soldiers and horses in his hands are stationed in the three auxiliaries, defending Qianghu, and he is also often used to attacking and fighting, quite strong, Dong Zhuo thinks that once his plan is not good, and Huangfu Song, who has a grudge against himself, also takes the opportunity to lead the troops to the east, so even if he leads the troops to fight with Huangfu Song head-on, the chance of victory is not great. Therefore, he chose to secretly link the soldiers and horses of various families in Liangzhou, if he fought with Huangfu Song in Guanzhong, and the soldiers and horses on the east and west sides attacked at the same time, even if Huangfu Song could use troops again, it would be difficult to escape defeat.

These prior plans cannot be said to have been carefully considered by Dong Zhuo and his own think tank Li Ru, so this trip to Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo specially asked Li Ru, who is familiar with his own plans, to sneak back to Liangzhou and come to Lintao to lay out Liangzhou with full authority, Dong Zhuo knew that Li Ru and the people in Lintao's hometown had a lot of troubles because of the previous marriage contract, so he was afraid that Li Ru would come to Liangzhou this time to lay out, and he would be constrained by the people in Lintao's hometown, so he specially repaired a book and handed it to Li Ru. instructed Li Ru to hand it over to his own mother, whose prestige was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in advance.

Sure enough, although the old lady of the Dong family who received Dong Zhuo's letter was old, she immediately decided to order Li Ru to let go with all her might, and the manpower and material resources he dispatched were not allowed to be restrained by others.

Deeply befriended Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and other Liangzhou adults who have always been friendly with the Dong family, contacted Han Sui, Ma Teng and other forces, and planned things in a few words, when it came to implementation, Li Ru's initial action was only limited to the territory of Lintao, and the three days and two heads of the Dong family manor set up a banquet to entertain the big surnamed Hao Chieftain who came to visit, and the forces of other counties and counties were only exchanged letters.

Yan Xingxin was recently introduced by Li Ru as a confidant, although Li Ru did not avoid Yan Xing in some things, and would let Yan Xing personally lead the team to escort him, but when it came to important secrets, he kept silent and did not leak a word to the outside world.

Rao is like this, Yan Xing combined the historical records of Dong Zhuo's camp in later generations and what he saw at the moment, and he also had to smack his tongue, feeling that the people involved in the plotters are innumerable, and the relationship between things and things is overwhelming, and how can the records of only a few words in the history books or the information obtained by ordinary people hearsay be completely described.

Since Yan Xing has the intention to take advantage of the trend of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing and the chaos in the world to seek a foundation for his own family to compete with the world's heroes, he is cheering up the things that Li Ru handles and he can touch, paying more attention, and wholeheartedly learning from the successful experience of this camp, and at the same time using his current identity to collect intelligence from multiple channels within the Dong family and Dong Jun's army, so as to carry out the next detailed plan in combination with the general trend of the world that he knows.

Among them, it also involves the process of Li Ru and the Dong family's daughter resenting because of their marriage. Yan Xing learned that Dong Zhuo intended to recruit Li Ru as his son-in-law at that time, and Li Ru also did not hesitate to abandon his integrity in order to go further under Dong Zhuo's account, divorced his wife, and was determined to become Dong Zhuo's Chenglong Jia's son-in-law, and finally met a disgraced face in the Dong family's house.

After Yan Xing heard this story, he sent people under the fence and didn't comment much, but it also reminded him of a story about the Yuan family in Runan that he had heard before.
