"I said Sima Yi, since you have seen through the tricks of the Su thief, you say, how should the old man deal with it."

Dong Zhuo became extremely trusting of Sima Yi in a blink of an eye.

Sima Yi said without hesitation: "Hedong is the hub of the state and Guanzhong, and it must not be lost, and its importance even exceeds that of Huguan. ”

"Therefore, Yi believes that the Taishi will never despise the Su thief along the way, for the sake of safety, the Taishi should personally lead the main force to Hedong to sit in the town, only in this way can we take into account the annexation of the state and Guanzhong, and take care of each other."

"As for the Huguan Pass, the danger of this pass, the Taishi only needs to leave a general to guard it."

Sima Yi was beaming and re-planned a strategy for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo paced in the tent, thinking about Sima Yi's offer, his eyes swept around the map, and he realized more and more that Sima Yi was reasonable.

"Father-in-law, there have been rumors recently that after Liu Xuande captured Yizhou, he had the ambition to support the army and stand on his own, in case he took advantage of his father-in-law's army in Bingzhou, and suddenly the troops went out of the Qinling Mountains and attacked Chang'an, the consequences would be unimaginable."

At this time, Niu Fu, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and blew the wind in Dong Zhuo's ears.

Dong Zhuo's figure shook suddenly, and there was a look of jealousy in the two narrowed eyes.

"Niu Fu is right, I feel more and more, I was blinded by Liu Da'er at the beginning......"

Dong Zhuo muttered to himself, and couldn't help but recall what he had done before.

Thinking that Liu Bei had come all the way back, it made Dong Zhuo very happy, and it was rare to feel flattered.

You must know that he, Dong Zhuo, is recognized as a rebellious minister of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei, the uncle of the Han Emperor, actually took the initiative to defect to him, which is simply putting gold on his face, and slapping the faces of those Qingliu who scolded him as traitors.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to Liu Bei, treats him as a guest, and gives Liu Bei soldiers and horses, so he has to pay homage to Liu Bei.

A year ago, Liu Bei offered him a plan, saying that he could use his relationship with Liu Zhang's fellow sect in Shuzhong to persuade Liu Zhang to raise troops to attack Hanzhong, so that he could help Liu Zhang's name lead the army south to Hanzhong, take the opportunity to destroy Zhang Lu, and open up territory for him Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Dong Zhuo Zheng had a fan-like trust in Liu Bei, and he was bitter to watch Su Zhe continue to grow, but his own territory had not changed, and when he saw that there was an opportunity to annex Hanzhong, of course, he agreed without thinking too much.

So, he gave Liu Bei 10,000 fine horsemen, sufficient grain and grass, and let Liu Bei lead the army into Hanzhong to open up territory for him.

Facts have proved that Liu Bei did not disappoint him, and after using Liu Zhang to contain most of Zhang Lu's troops, he attacked Yangping Pass and succeeded in taking Hanzhong in one fell swoop and destroying Zhang Lu.

After that, Liu Bei didn't know what means he used, forcing Liu Zhang to take the lead in turning his face with him and meeting each other.

As a result, Liu Bei used the internal and external cooperation of a group of traitors under Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang, who was killed, was defeated one after another, and finally Chengdu fell and was destroyed by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's brilliant exploits made Dong Zhuo happy, but naturally he was also a little jealous, so he found an excuse to summon Liu Bei to Chang'an.

And Liu Bei rebelled in the seven counties in the south, and the hearts of the people in Shu were undecided, so he politely refused his call.

Liu Bei's move really made Dong Zhuo vigilant, and he originally planned to solve it, but it happened to run into the node where Yuan Shao was destroyed.

So, Dong Zhuo could only temporarily put Liu Bei aside and lead the army to Merge the state for the sake of the big fat meat.

At this juncture, Niu Fu reminded him that Dong Zhuo remembered the news he got a few days ago that Liu Bei had led the army into Hanzhong.

Didn't that kid Liu Bei say that he wanted to put down the rebellion in Nanzhong?

Why did he appear in Hanzhong again?

What did he want?

All kinds of doubts came to mind, making Dong Zhuo once again have deep doubts about Liu Bei's loyalty.

Liu Bei can't be unguarded, and Su Zhe can't be unguarded, so it seems that leading the army to Hedong, a place where you can take care of both the end and the end, is the best choice.

After rolling his eyes a few times, Dong Zhuo said happily: "Okay, Sima Yi, the old man will use your strategy to immediately lead the army to Hedong County." ”

"The master is wise." The sycophant naturally came out of Sima Yi's mouth.

Dong Zhuo looked at the generals again and asked, "Who has the courage to lead the army to guard the Huguan for the old man." ”

"The son-in-law is willing to take on this heavy responsibility!" Niu Fu immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

Guarding Huguan is equivalent to defending the state for Dong Zhuo, such a big credit will definitely make Dong Zhuo more trusted, and Niu Fu will of course grab it.

What's more, controlling the soldiers and horses in Huguan is basically equivalent to controlling the soldiers and horses in the entire state, which is also of great benefit to enhancing his own power, such a good thing, Niu Fu will naturally not let go.

"Okay, Niu Fu, the old man will leave you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and you can pass the pot for the old man to guard!"

Dong Zhuo didn't hesitate much, and put the burden on Niu Fu's shoulders.

For Dong Zhuo, a place like Huguan naturally has to be handed over to people he trusts, except for his nephew Dong Huang, who guards Chang'an, only his two sons-in-law Li Ru and Niu Fu are left.

Li Ru is good at scheming but not good at soldiers, and of course Niu Fu has to come out of the way to guard the pass and fight.

At that moment, Dong Zhuo did not dare to delay, and led more than 40,000 iron horsemen to leave Huguan, and rushed to Hedong County in the starry night.

As soon as Dong Zhuo left, the Soviet army's meticulous work immediately sent the information to the Soviet army camp.

……

In the afternoon of that day, Su Zhe was standing on the hill and inspecting the terrain of Huguan from a high place.

He immediately looked at the direction of Huguan from afar, and saw a river that was not too wide passing through the mountains north of Huguan.

"What is that river called?" Su Zhe asked.

"Back to Chu Gong, that river is called Hunzhang River." The guide replied.

Su Zhe looked at it a few more times and asked, "Since there is a river so close to Huguan, is it the water source of Huguan, which is related to this river." ”

"Chu Gong is wise, when this Huzhang River passes near Huguan, it will divide into several tributaries, and several of them will flow directly through Huguan City, and the city relies on those tributaries to get water."

Su Zhe suddenly realized, no wonder according to the scout's intelligence, the Xiliang army in the city has not been seen out of the city to get water these days, it turns out that there is a water source in Huguan City, and people don't need to go out of the city to get water at all.

Looking at the winding river, the corners of Su Zhe's mouth were faintly hooked.

At this moment, Huang Zhongxing's flying horse rushed over, and before he could stop, he shouted excitedly: "Chu Gong, good news, Dong Zhuo really led the army to Hedong County to stop Xu Gongming, everything was expected by Chu Gongming." ”

Su Zhe's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly took over the information in Huang Zhong's hands, and sure enough, as he said, Dong Zhuo not only went to Hedong in person, but also took 40,000 soldiers and horses with him.

That is to say, in Huguan City, there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left.

"Duke Chu, Dong Zhuo has left, what are we waiting for, immediately raise a large army to attack Huguan." Huang Zhong couldn't wait.

"What's the hurry?" Su Zhe smiled secretly, "My father has his own way, and without us doing anything, he called Niu Fu and his Xiliang army to collapse on their own." ”
