Yang Biao pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "Within three months, will Dong Gong be able to recapture Yuyuan Pass?" ”

Dong Zhuo replied truthfully: "No." ”

Yang Biao asked again: "Can Dong Gong teach the Shandong princes to disperse?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Yes, but it is not a day's work. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Biao's mouth, and he said indifferently: "In this case, why don't you accept the surrender?" ”

Dong Zhuo replied: "Guo Yihan was born, how could the princes of Shandong cooperate with him?" ”

"No, no." Yang Biao held up a finger and said with a smile: "With Guo Yi's character, he will never cooperate with the princes of Shandong." But he will take advantage of Dong Ping's chaos to enter. Among the government and the opposition, there are countless people with hearts. With all due respect, the Holy Lord still regards Guo Yi as a master. ”

This sentence touched Dong Zhuo's sore spot, and it was also the fundamental reason why he did not adopt Li Ru's suggestion. He Dong Zhuo was also born in a reckless manner, and the popularity of people in this court may not be as good as Guo Yi, at least he has become a master by relying on his true talent, and his poems and songs are spread all over the world. Under the circumstance that Yuyuan Pass will not be able to be taken for a while and a half, as long as the Shandong princes advance westward, Guo Yi will inevitably fish in troubled waters.

And once Dong Zhuo leaves Luoyang, or it is unfavorable to go out on the front line, then when Guo Yibing comes to the city, it will be the day when Luoyang changes his master. Between Dong Zhuo and Guo Yi, the emperor and the courtiers will definitely choose the latter, without him, the latter is more or less reasonable.

"If I recruit Guo Yi, how should I be placed?"

Yang Biao smiled and said: "Guo Yi is guilty of sin, and he is ordered to go to the front line to beg for thieves, and he can atone for his crimes." ”

"What if it's the other way around?"

"The grain, grass and military supplies are all in Dong Gong, Guo Yi has more than enough heart but not enough strength."

"What Sikong said won my heart." Dong Zhuo laughed and ordered: "Feng Guo Yi is the captain of the dragoon and guards Yang City." ”

"No." Yang Biao immediately objected and admonished: "Dong Gong, Yangcheng is where Guo Yi is based, if there is a change, how should Dong Gong deal with himself?" ”

Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully, it seemed like this was the case. If Guo Yi is not dispatched, this move will be meaningless. Guo Yi can still take advantage of the chaos to enter the customs. The key to this matter is that it must be under its own control.

"The old man is also so worried, but unfortunately there is no good solution."

Yang Biao said: "The princes of Shandong want to enter the customs, and there are only three ways. Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Hanoi are just three places. The princes will be allied to Chenliu, but there is a tiger prison in it, and a general can be sent. Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang responded to the alliance and had already defected. I heard that Yuan Shao also wanted to garrison troops here, this was the time when the fish was boiling, and Dong Gong had to notice it. Today, Guo Yilai, where the Yingchuan Pass is located, surrendered, why didn't the general send him north to seize Hanoi? If this battle is won, Guo Yi and the princes of Shandong will be on the same footing, and they can only rely on Dong Gong, and Hanoi can be determined. If this battle is lost, Guo Yi will lose his troops and cannot be revived, and Dong Gong will be in great trouble. With such a plan to kill two birds with one stone and drive the tiger and devour the wolf, can Dong Gong be interested? ”

"Brilliant plan! Coup! Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and laughed, got up excitedly and took Yang Biao's hand and said, "Lord Sikong is clever and deserves a heavy reward." ”

"Don't worry, Dong Gong." Yang Biao didn't seem to care about the reward, and gave Dong Zhuo another idea, "Guo Yi suffered from the heavens, and Dong Gong should be the son of heaven and pardon his crimes." In this way, it can set the hearts of the courtiers, and it can also break the morale of the princes, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Good! Just do as Lord Sikong says! ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and left under Lu Bu's escort.

As soon as he went out, Lu Bu asked, "Why does my father-in-law believe Yang Biao's words?" ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, sighed again, and said helplessly: "I can't help myself, I can't help myself." ”

returned to the house and told Li Ru about Yang Biao's strategy. Li Ru's brain was much brighter than Lu Bu's, and he smiled and congratulated: "It's gratifying, the lord can make a plan in the world." ”

Although Yang Biao's position is very suspicious, for the current Dong Zhuo, this is indeed the best solution. It can suppress the people's hearts floating in the DPRK and China, and it can also minimize the crisis caused by Guo Yiru's throat. The so-called lesser of two evils is a plan that does not take into account so many positions and conspiracies.

Yang cheng. Guo Yi received the holy decree.

Forgive him for his sins, and at the same time appoint him as the Taishou of Hanoi, ask the thief Zhonglang General, move to Hanoi, and exterminate Wang Kuang.

Guo Yi read the decree to everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Fan Xindao: "In this way, our military rations and grass are all owned by Dong thieves, and we are controlled by others. ”

Guo Jia said: "This is the time to enter the customs, and the general should accept it." ”

"Well, let's get in." Guo Yi sighed, for the sake of today, this is the best solution. He asked Guo Jia again, "How to solve the matter of grain and grass?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Take Hanoi and attack Yecheng." ”

Yecheng is the garrison of Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and this time the princes will meet the alliance, and Han Fu is responsible for supplying grain and grass. Yecheng and Hanoi are not far away, as long as Hanoi is taken, it is not impossible to attack Yecheng to seize grain and grass.

"Lord, think twice!" Fan Xin has always been suspicious of Guo Jia's scheme, and this time he entered the customs to hand over the military rations and was controlled by others. It's better to spend it in Yangcheng and wait for the opportunity to directly seize Yuzhou!

But Guo Yi had already made up his mind and said, "There is no need to say much about this matter. Get ready to go. ”

The holy decree of Guo Yi's release quickly spread throughout the prefectures and counties of the world. Cai Yan was overjoyed when he got the news, and now he confirmed Guo Yi's whereabouts, and they had a clear goal.

"Long San, you immediately set off to discuss with General Huang Zu, and you are willing to go to Hanoi by the way."

Ryusan commanded, "No." ”

"Mistress! Good news! When the herald came to report, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed at all, and he said in ecstasy: "Changsha guards Sun Jian too much, Nanyang guards Yuan Shu, and responds to the princes' alliance." But Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is not allowed! Sun Jian killed the Taishou of Nanjun, waved his army north, and approached Xiangyang! ”

"Good!" This is indeed good news, once a civil war breaks out in Jingzhou, then Liu Biao will inevitably transfer troops back to defend Xiangyang, which is extremely beneficial to his own passage through Jingzhou.

"The time has come!" Pang De was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Mastermother, this is the time for us to seize Jingzhou. ”

"No way!" Long San immediately objected and said resolutely: "The top priority is to meet with the Lord!" With our little strength alone, it is too dangerous to pacify Jingzhou. ”

"The soldiers of Jingzhou are just a rabble." During this period of fighting, although the city was not captured for a long time, the Jingzhou soldiers were indeed slaughtered unilaterally, and there was nothing to be afraid of. "Now Jingzhou is in civil strife, and Liu Biao is incompetent. Our army can use the power of the Huang family to enter Jingzhou. As long as we get the support of grain and grass and the gentry, and with the courage of our army, the pacification of Jingzhou is just around the corner. ”

"Jingzhou is not profitable, and the gentry are not credible!" Long San is a person who started with Guo Yi, and he is quite clear about Guo Yi's political line, and he will not agree to this matter. "Now that the lord has been released, he is stationed in Hanoi to fight against the princes. At this time, our army should provide timely support. Although Jingzhou is good, it is not owned by us, so it is not appropriate to waste time here! ”

Pang De has a completely different idea, Guo Yi's current predicament is that he is out of the base area and has no support. With Jingzhou, then there is a base area, where is the need to send people under the fence? "If there is Jingzhou, the lord will no longer live under the Dong thief!"

Long San said: "Jingzhou is also the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and pacification is by no means overnight. We can't stay long. ”

Pang De said: "If there is Jingzhou, the lord will definitely break through to this, there is the lord command, just a thief, what a way!" ”

The two went toe-for-tat, and the smell of gunpowder rushed up all of a sudden, and the subordinates on both sides also stared at each other's people with straight faces, as if they were fighting dryly.

"Go north and join your husband."

Cai Yan's voice was calm and powerful, seemingly unaffected by the quarrel at all, and there was no trace of expression on his face, calm and terrifying.

Although the suggestion was adopted, Ryuzo did not smile.

When Pound heard this, he arched his hand and said, "No." ”

Cai Yan waved his hand, "Let's all step aside." ”

"No."
