Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

After leaving the Jiade Hall and bidding farewell to the ministers who came to say hello, Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile and said, "Father-in-law, this is the latest news from Ye Hou, Sun Jian and Cao Cao are attacking Xingyang, and our expectations are not bad." ”

"Are you sure?" Dong Zhuo was always a little uneasy about Ye Zhao.

"It is basically certain that the main force of the coalition army is still crossing the river now, Ye Hou Zhizhi, when the coalition army arrives, it will frustrate the spirit of the coalition army again, and then abandon Xingyang, and transfer the soldiers and horses to the Tiger Prison Pass, we can free up our hands and destroy the Chen King Liu Pet first!"

Although the alliance of princes is powerful, but in fact, the name is not right, what is really worrying, if you are dead, the alliance of the Kwantung princes can actually be regarded as a rebellion, but it is the king of Chen, whose power may not be comparable to that of other princes, but it is the only one of the Han clan relatives who responded to the call and personally led the troops to the alliance of the princes.

No matter what King Chen thinks, but if he does this, it is equivalent to giving the coalition army a legitimized identity, plus the people of the main alliance (the key point, Liu Bei is the main alliance, not the leader of the alliance) is also a relative of the Han family, and he is also Liu Yu's subordinate, if it continues to develop like this, the momentum will change.

Sometimes the two armies are fighting, especially in a big war like this in which almost half of the princes in the world are involved, it is not only a competition of troops, grain and grass, but also righteousness, people's hearts or the right time, place and people, now regardless of whether Dong Zhuo's move to abolish the establishment should be or not, but at least Dong Zhuo holds the imperial power, to a certain extent, it is to grasp the righteousness, if it is used well, it is to serve the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

This is also why during this period of time, the princes continued to smear Dong Zhuo in public opinion, what night stay in the dragon bed, filthy palace, in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can find the ridiculousness of this matter.

The princes who are hundreds of miles away from Luoyang, but they can tell what happened in Luoyang with noses and eyes, isn't it rumor-mongering?

Therefore, this Chen Wang Liu Pet must die, and now he is tossing in Yique Pass, but Dong Zhuo's main force is still confronting the princes' coalition forces in the area of Tiger Pass, and he can't spare his hands to clean him up, after all, in terms of troops, that side is the main force.

Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this: "Who can be competent in this battle of Xingyang?" ”

"Cao Cao and Sun Jian will arrive soon, our army reinforcements must be as soon as possible, the son-in-law thinks that this battle should be with Wen Hou as the general!" Li Ru bowed and said.

"Feng Xian...... How is Wenkai? Dong Zhuo couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, although he recognized this righteous son, but Lu Bu's virtue really made it difficult for him to be completely at ease, no matter how many personal grudges Lu Bu had when he killed Ding Yuan, but in Dong Zhuo's opinion, it was a horse in exchange for Lu Bu's surrender.

No matter how good the red rabbit is, it is just a horse after all, but Lu Bu didn't say a word, so he chopped Ding Yuan, that is also his father-in-law.

When there was hostility before, Dong Zhuo was eager to get Lu Bu, but now that Lu Bu was really obtained by him, Dong Zhuo hesitated a little in his heart, which is why he has always kept Lu Bu by his side as a high-ranking official, but he has been reluctant to reuse it, just as a bodyguard.

"Forgive my son-in-law." Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Although General Wen Kai is brave and proficient in cavalry warfare, if you talk about this surprise attack to break the enemy, I am afraid that it is not as good as Wen Hou, and we must win this battle, otherwise it will be difficult to deter the Kwantung princes; As long as this battle is won, the coalition forces will be a rabble after all, and we only need to hold the tiger prison, divide and disintegrate, and the coalition forces will inevitably have contradictions. ”

"Just follow the words of Wen Worry!" Dong Zhuo nodded silently, and after returning home, he called Lu Bu to his side.

"What did my father-in-law call me?" Lu Bu came to Dong Zhuo's side with a golden knife, now it is the honeymoon period for the two, Lu Bu was smashed by Dong Zhuo's high-ranking official Houlu and couldn't find the north, this Luoyang City, no matter who it was, he didn't dare to be disrespectful when he saw him, which greatly satisfied his inner vanity, although he didn't have military power and was a little regretful, but he believed that with Dong Zhuo's attention to himself, it was only a matter of time before he led the troops, in this period, if you talk about loyalty, Lu Bu is also relatively high among the generals under Dong Zhuo's command.

"It's just right that Feng came first, I have something I need you to do." Dong Zhuo smiled, looked at Lu Buwen and said.

"Father, please speak." Lu Bu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly looked at Dong Zhuodao.

"I just got the secret report, the coalition army has now begun to cross the river, and the soldiers have sent two teams of men and horses to prepare to besiege Xingyang, in order to send Feng to the front and frustrate the spirit of the coalition army!" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Budao.

"Father-in-law, rest assured, the Kwantung group of rats, but the local chickens and dogs, cloth only needs to ride three thousand, and the Kwantung rats will not dare to face the edge of our army!" Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said proudly.

"Wen Hou, this battle must be fast!" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu, suddenly a little uneasy, and couldn't help but admonish: "And you must not fall in love with war, the purpose of our army's dispatch this time is to frustrate the spirit of the coalition army, Wen Hou after defeating these two people, quickly detour to Meishan, cooperate with the main force of our army, and surprise attack that Chen Wang Liu Pet, this person is the real henchman of our army now!" ”

Lu Bu was a little puzzled when he heard this: "That Chen Wang Liu Chong, there are only 20,000 soldiers, and the Yique Pass garrison alone is enough to deal with it, why bother to mobilize the army!?" ”

"Wen Hou thinks about it, that Chen Wang Liu Chong is a clan member of the Han family, and he should protect the court and serve us, but now he is helping to abuse the court, and he does not want to be loyal to the court, but he turns to the side of the rebel thief and helps the rebel to ask for his father-in-law, although he has few soldiers and horses, but after all, he is a clan member of the Han family, if he is not destroyed, wouldn't he tell the world that we are unorthodox?" Li Ru said solemnly: "Therefore, the strength of the coalition army in this battle is small, and the real purpose is to exterminate the Chen King Liu Chong, and killing this one person is better than exterminating 100,000 Kwantung rebels!" It is an immortal achievement, and Wen Hou must not fall in love with the war in Xingyang, so that he will delay the fighter plane and make the king of Chen escape. ”

Immortal merit!?

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do, I don't know when Bu should leave?" ”

"Without further ado!" Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Then Sun Jian and Cao Cao will be able to arrive in Xingyang tomorrow, and Wen Hou should leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better." ”

"Okay, I'll go and order troops!" Lu Bu excitedly took the tiger talisman handed by Dong Zhuo, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wen Hou, wait a minute!" Li Ru stopped Lu Budao.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu wondered.

"That Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and he also served under Zhang Wen with his father-in-law in the past, not only has he been in battle for a long time, but he is also brave, and that Cao Cao was cited as a close friend by Ye Zhao, and his ability is not bad, Wen Hou must not be careless!" Li Ru said solemnly.

"Jiangdong Tigers? Ye Zhao's best friend? When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, and when I take the heads of those two people, I will also ask Ye Zhao to take a look!" ”

After speaking, after saluting Dong Zhuo, he turned around and walked out, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two.
