Luoyang.

"My lord, according to the intelligence, among the forces that have joined the alliance now, Li Yi is in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao and Han Fu are in Jizhou, but Han Fu is timid and afraid of things, and is only willing to fund money and grain, so that Jizhou only needs to consider Yuan Shao alone." Li Ru said in a deep voice.

"In addition, basically the entire state of Yanzhou has joined, and Liu Dai, the assassin, is said to have been forced to join. In addition, Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, and Zhang Chao, the commander of Guangling County in Xuzhou, also joined the coalition army. When Li Ru said this, a smile appeared on his face, "According to the estimation of his subordinates, I am afraid that the strength of the coalition army will not exceed 200,000, so that our army's chances of victory will be greater." ”

Hearing this, a happy look suddenly appeared on Dong Zhuo's face, and he had no doubts at all. In his opinion, Li Ru said that the odds of winning at this time were greater, and that was basically that he would definitely win.

It's just that without waiting for Dong Zhuo to speak, Li Ru poured a basin of cold water, "However, Yuan Shu of Nanyang has been recruiting troops to prepare for the war, and at the same time, Sun Jian, the guard of Changsha County, has also sent troops. According to the latest news, he had already killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and was staying in Jiangling at this time to recruit troops and replenish. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru said with a serious expression, "If you let it unite with Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shu is likely to directly swallow Jingzhou, including Nanyang." In this way, the enemy's power is even greater. ”

"How's that to be?" Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked when he heard this.

"Immediately send someone to order Zhang Shi, the guard of Nanyang County, to get rid of Yuan Shu! Even if it is unsuccessful, it can destroy the relationship between Yuan Shu and Zhang Zhi. After all, judging from the information obtained, Yuan Shu was not only narrow, but also very suspicious. Li Ru said in a deep voice.

After a pause, Yuan Shu said again, "In addition, you also need to send someone to Jingzhou to take up the post of Jingzhou Assassin!" Although our army has no time to deal with the affairs of Jingzhou for the time being, at least it will not be able to let Yuan Shu easily get Jingzhou! ”

"Hmm......" Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "What Wen You said is reasonable, so let's do it." With that, Dong Zhuo wrote a letter and sent it to the Zhang Counseling Office in Nanjun.

It's just that then, Dong Zhuo frowned again and said, "It's just a candidate for the new Jingzhou Thorn History......

"The minister thinks that Liu Jingsheng, the candidate of the Northern Army, can take on this position!" Li Ru said in a deep voice when he heard this.

In the past, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, in order to win over the children of the family, and also to improve his reputation, but he really promoted many people. And Liu Biao, who is known as one of the eight handsomes in the world, is one of the objects who are being wooed. Even Dong Zhuo, after completely ruling the camps of the Beijing Division, took the initiative to appoint him as a lieutenant of the Northern Army. You must know that this is a position of real power that can supervise the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, although the current captains of the fifth battalion have been replaced by Dong Zhuo's people.

"The protégés of the Yuan clan are all over the world, and most of the people who are worthy of the lord's trust have already taken up important positions and cannot be dispatched. In this way, it is better to choose the royal family to come forward. Li Ru said with a chuckle.

If you send those scholars, who knows if you will have one more enemy to yourself? And the royal clan is different, just look at the forces involved in the alliance, except for a forced and helpless Liu Dai, which royal clan dares to send troops?

And strictly speaking, the vast majority of the royal family members are not too close to these family members. But there is no way, who makes the royal relatives want to climb up, and the biggest obstacle is these scholars? Although those scholars and doctors had no reason to please the emperor in addition to their own interests. After all, isn't it the result of the efforts of the emperors of the past dynasties?

"And that Liu Biao is one of the eight jun, and he is a friend of the former Nanyang County Shou Cen Hui, thinking about it, there is no more suitable person than him." Li Ru said in a deep voice.

"Since that's the case, send him and recruit Liu Jingsheng immediately!" Dong Zhuo said directly when he heard this.

Soon, Liu Biao rushed over, Dong Zhuo looked at him for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "Jingsheng, I want to hand over Jingzhou to you, in case the anti-thief Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's generation divide Jingzhou, I don't know if you have confidence?" ”

"Please rest assured that Xiangguo will definitely not let Xiangguo down." Liu Biao said respectfully. He had long wanted to leave the land of right and wrong in Jingshi, but as a member of the royal family, how could he leave without any good reason? And in his opinion, Jingzhou is also a good place, although it is barren and backward, but it can also stay away from the rights and wrongs of the Central Plains.

"Good!" Dong Zhuo said loudly when he heard this, and then, his expression became a little strange again, "But you also know that now the anti-thieves are powerful, and they are constantly accumulating troops to prepare to attack the Beijing Division." Moreover, Yuan Shu was in Nanyang, and Sun Jian was also preparing to go to Nanyang. If you are allowed to lead the army forward, I am afraid that you may not be able to break through the blockade of Yuan Shu and the others......"

One sentence immediately made Liu Biao stunned, because he had already heard Dong Zhuo's extraneous voice, that is, this time to Jingzhou, Dong Zhuo would not give Liu Biao a single soldier.

"This ...... If you can, I hope that Xiangguo can support some money, so that the lower officials can take care of many powerful families in Jingzhou at that time. Liu Biao hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice after a moment.

"Haha~ That's natural~" Dong Zhuo said with a smile when he heard this, as long as he doesn't want soldiers, everything else is easy to say! And how much money can Liu Biao take away?

After Liu Biao left, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru a little strangely and asked, "Wenyou, let him do it himself?" "Now that Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, is dead, even if Yuan Shu doesn't take it, the county guards will definitely take the opportunity to expand their rights. In this case, relying only on Liu Biao himself, Dong Zhuo really didn't know what possibility he had of success.

"Hehe, that's it, if he can succeed, then it can serve the purpose of weakening Yuan Shu." Li Ru chuckled when he heard this, "Without troops, Liu Biao can only secretly go to Jingzhou and control Jingzhou by contacting the powerful families in various places." Come to think of it, with Liu Biao's talent and identity, this can still be done. ”

On the other side, after leaving Xiangguo's Mansion, Liu Biao returned home directly and called his nephew Zhang Yun over, "That Dong Zhuo recruited me just now and asked me to go to Jingzhou to take up the post of Jingzhou Assassin." ”

"Great! I'll let the people clean it up. Hearing this, Zhang Yun immediately responded happily, like Liu Biao, after the crusade against Dong Zhuo in various places became more and more popular, he also wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Not to mention that Liu Biao went to take up the post of assassin this time.

Just hearing Zhang Yun's words, Liu Biao shook his head and said, "No need, just the two of us this time." ”

"What?!" When Zhang Yun heard this, he was stunned.

Seeing this, Liu Biao chuckled and said, "Then Dong Zhuo didn't give me a single soldier, so I only plan to take one of you~"

"Can I stay here too?" Zhang Yun thought sadly in his heart when he heard this, because he had already seen the difficulties and dangers that he might encounter at that time. After all, if Wang Rui can be killed, won't Liu Biao encounter any danger?

"Haha~ Don't worry~ It's really not good, we'll come back." Liu Biao looked at Zhang Yun and laughed, there didn't seem to be any worry on his face.
