With the help of the Hedong Wei family, the Bingzhou army took Hedong with lightning speed, and then Lü Bu deployed the army on the line from Puban to Puzhou, and surrounded Anyi in the shape of crane wings.

Niu Fu, who was stationed in Anyi, faced the wolf-like Bingzhou army, and hurriedly led the army south to retreat to the rope pool, so that Lu Bu's soldiers could capture Anyi without blood.

Under the instruction of Lü Bu, Zhang Liaonan crossed the Yellow River and occupied Tongguan, which was on the verge of Huayin, and Dong Yue, the general of Huayin, hurriedly retreated east and garrisoned Hanguguan.

From then on, Lü Bu occupied the line from Anyi to Huayin, cutting off the communication arteries between Gyeonggi and Guanzhong, and once something happened, the army could drive straight into Luoyang and threaten Luoyang.

However, this world full of spring did not bring too much joy to people, but made their mood more irritable, fearful, and depressed.

Because when the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, a protracted war was about to take place.

In Xiangguo's mansion, Dong Zhuo smashed everything that should be smashed, including many valuable and exquisite utensils.

"I'm angry, the old man would believe that the Kwantung princes worked for me, Cao Cao, a traitor, a rebel of the eunuchs, dared to send a letter to the old man to criticize him, as well as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, which of their generals was not given by the old man? Villains, all villains. ”

Dong Zhuo kicked over the table in front of him, pulled out his sword in anger, and split the table in half with a sword.

Since the Kwantung Coalition Army began to ask for the thief's letter, the number of princes who went to Chenliu's alliance has reached six towns, and judging from the battle reports from the scouts, there are still more than ten princes who are leading troops to Chenliu.

These generals and guards, Dong Zhuo had entrusted them with important tasks before, personally canonized, and made them guard the eastern part of the country, but he didn't expect that except for Liu Biao, no one was facing him, he only felt that there was rebellion everywhere, and there were conspiracies everywhere.

Li Ru cautiously stepped over the porcelain pieces all over the ground, stepped forward and said: "Xiangguo, at this critical moment, the most important thing is not to say who is the villain and who is the gentleman, the important thing is how to deal with the difficulties of the Kwantung princes. ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, and there was a little urgency in his voice: "Wenyou, do you have a good plan?" ”

Li Ru stroked the long hair under his chin, and his eagle-like eyes flashed with a treacherous and cold light from time to time.

After a while, he said: "I have set six strategies for Xiangguo. ”

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "The plan will be released." ”

Li Ru slowly paced in the hall: "First, the so-called famous teacher, the reason why the Kwantung princes will meet is because of Cao Cao's call, Xiangguo is now in the name of the Son of Heaven to draft a decree, let the Kwantung princes disband and retreat, the retreat is worry-free, and if you don't retreat, you will be a traitor." ”

"The two, with heavy troops stationed in the Tiger Pass, the Tiger Pass as the east gate of Luoyang, played a decisive role in this battle, as long as the Tiger Pass is not lost, Luoyang can be protected."

"Three, Luoyang still has people with lofty ideals in the court, if the country sends troops, the affairs of the court must not be ignored, before Qiao Mao pretended to use the name of the three princes to draft a document sent to various states and counties to assassinate Shi Taishou, saying that the Son of Heaven and the court are pressed, there is no way to save themselves, and I hope that the volunteers will relieve the country in trouble, this matter is not empty."

"Fourth, Huangfu Song sits in Liangzhou, Guanzhong Guanxi is the source of soldiers and horses of the Xiangguo, if Huangfu Song cuts off Guanzhong, the people of Liangzhou will immediately panic, so he should be immediately summoned to Beijing and sealed his post as a lieutenant to relieve his heart."

"Five, at this time the front army led by Wang Kuang of Hanoi has arrived at the Heyang ferry, and the rest of the princes are still waiting for the rest of the princes, this Wang Kuang has a lot of soldiers, deep into the hinterland of our army, showing off his might, in fact, it can be destroyed, Xiangguo can send two soldiers and horses to meet the battle, one set off to Pingyindu, and made a gesture of crossing the river to attack, and the other quietly crossed the river from Xiaopingjin, and went to North Vietnam behind the enemy, Wang Kuang can be captured in a battle, this battle can also greatly increase the morale of our army, and can also consume the spirit of the coalition army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

"Sixth, there have been rumors recently that there is a Han in the east and a Han in the west, and the deer will enter Chang'an, so there will be no difficulty."

Dong Zhuo suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Ru incredulously: "You mean to move the capital to Chang'an?" ”

Li Ru nodded, walked to Dong Zhuo and muttered: "If the Tiger Pass is lost, Luoyang has no danger to defend, only by moving the capital to Chang'an, Xiangguo has room for maneuver, and Chang'an has the solidity of the Kuihan, if Xiangguo moves the capital to Chang'an, you can also sit back and relax, and then Chang'an embraces the land in the pass, backed by Xiliang, even if Chang'an is not guaranteed again, Xiangguo can also retreat to Xiliang, with the relationship between Xiangguo and the Qiang people, it is not impossible to be a soil emperor in Xiliang." ”

Dong Zhuo stroked his curly beard and asked unhurriedly: "What if the Kwantung princes pursue?" ”

"For this reason, I also set up a good policy, the first policy, Luoyang will be burned, block the road of the coalition army, the second policy, Anyi, Huayin, and rope pond are each other's horns, if the battle is defeated, Xiangguo can deploy soldiers and horses in the three auxiliary counties, defend the three places, and resist Shandong." The wrinkles on Li Ru's face stretched and undulated several times, like a poisonous snake molting

Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time, and finally decided to adopt Li Ru's strategy, and just as he was about to act according to the plan, a report suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in." Li Ru's voice was very soft.

Dong Zhuo's personal guard pushed the door in, and respectfully handed over a bamboo slip: "Qi Xiangguo, General Niu urgently report." ”

Dong Zhuo strode in front of the guards with the porcelain piece, snatched the battle report, and when he opened it, his eyes were straight in vain, his hands trembled, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Sangkook?" Li Ru found that Dong Zhuo's face was wrong, and couldn't help but step forward to ask, he had known Dong Zhuo for so long, he had never found Dong Zhuo with such an expression.

"See for yourself." Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth with hatred.

Li Ru was a little curious, and when he read the battle report, he had always been surprised by his face, but he was also a little anxious at this time: "This... This..."

"Lu Bu Xiaoer, last autumn to take my Chitu, this year sent troops to occupy my Hedong, is it tolerable or unbearable, come to me, pass my order, and conquer Lu Bu."

Dong Zhuo was furious and yelled outside the door.

Li Ru was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed Dong Zhuo and admonished: "Xiangguo must not send troops, otherwise the big thing will overturn." ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes were beating with anger, and he shouted and asked, "Why?" ”

"Xiangguo temporarily rests the wrath of the thunder, if our army and Lu Bu go to war, we need to mobilize heavy troops before we can act, but if we transfer troops back to Hedong, what will happen to the Tiger Pass? What to do in Luoyang? At that time, there will be Lu Bu in front of you, and the princes in the east in the future, and our lives will be worried. ”

"But Lu Bu occupies the east of the river and cuts off the retreat of our army, how should this be good? Once we start a war with the Kwantung princes, and Lu Bu leads his troops out of Hedong, what will happen then? ”

For the first time in his life, Dong Zhuo felt in a dilemma, and he would never have thought that Lu Bu would send troops to Hedong if he wanted to break his head.

Li Ru appeased Dong Zhuo, who was still angry, and muttered: "Lu Bu is standing still and peeking at Luoyang, I can't tell what he is thinking." ”

Thinking about it, Li Ru's eyes suddenly slanted: "When Lu Bu first arrived in the state, there was no appointment from the imperial court, why didn't Xiangguo appoint Lu Bu as the pastor of the state in the name of the imperial court to tie his heart." ”

"He took away my Chitu and occupied my state and county, and now you still let me seal his official position? I don't promise. Dong Zhuo was like an angry child, his face full of resentment.

"Xiangguo must learn to forbear, Lu Bu is brave, very human can win, even if we start a war with him, what are the chances of winning?"

Dong Zhuo was silent, Lu Bu made great achievements, and he made the foreign tribes in the north retreat to northern Xinjiang, and did not dare to go south to herd horses, last year he surrounded Wei to save Zhao, and even lifted the siege of Chencang, and the enemy had a few chances of winning.

Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo's face softened, so he said what he thought in his heart: "Although Lu Bu has the right to be a state pastor, he does not have the name of a state pastor, and he is definitely not treated by the local scholars. ”

"Then let him fight the Kwantung princes, is he willing?"

Li Ru shook his head: "I don't know, but we can try, in the next suggestion, add Lu Bu as the general of Bingzhou Mu and Zhenbei, hold the two counties of Hedong and Hexi, and Shiyi Wen County, and then in the name of the imperial court, let him send troops to quell the rebellion." ”

"What if he doesn't want to come?"

Li Ru shook his head helplessly: "Then we can only make a detour to Hongnong and return to Xiliang from Lantian." ”

He sighed in his heart, the great layout was turned upside down by Lu Bu, and now Hedong has lost all its land except for Anyi, Guanzhong has been broken, and major events are unexpected.
