Happy times are always short-lived, and with the news of "Dong Zhuobing's dispatch to Hanoi", Ding Xiao's leisurely days came to an end.

When he arrived in the big tent of the military camp outside the city, the civil and military generals had already gathered here and waited for a long time.

"Xiao'er, what's the specific situation now?" Ding Yuan asked.

"My people have just sent news that Dong Zhuo has sent 50,000 troops this morning, led by General Hua Xiong, to come to Hanoi to dignitaries. This time, most of them were infantry, and the speed of the march was not very fast, and it would take two days at the earliest to reach the border of the river, so we had plenty of time to prepare. Ding Xiao explained with a relaxed expression.

As early as when he first returned to Hanoi, he had already sent people to contact Wang Yun and other senior officials in the court, so he was able to receive first-hand information in a timely and accurate manner.

However, it would take time for Tanma to return to Hanoi from Jingshi, even if it was an eight-hundred-mile rush, it would take half a day, so it wasn't until the afternoon that he had just received the news.

"In addition, Hua Xiong also came out with a holy decree this time, saying that he wanted to officially incorporate the Bai Bo Army." Ding Xiao finally added.

"What a Dong Zhuo! This is a very poisonous plan! ”

Han Rong immediately said in a deep voice, "If we accept the order, he will definitely let the 50,000 Baibo army forcibly move elsewhere, and even use the Baibo army as the vanguard to attack us in turn." ”

"The beauty of thought!"

Xu Huang smiled coldly, "I spent several months carefully planning with Yang Feng and others, designing and killing the leader Guo Tai, and finally took down the Baibo Army, how can I give it up?" ”

"What I'm saying is, let's not be Dong Zhuo's minions!"

Yang Feng and the others also said indignantly.

"But if we don't obey the order, we will disobey the order!" Lu Zhi's expression at this time was also very solemn, "This is a big crime!" ”

"This must be Li Ru's plan!"

Ding Xiao smiled slightly, "However, he wants to take away my 50,000 army without blood, it's just wishful thinking!" ”

"That's it! Hum! If that is the case, then the decree will not be accepted! Xu Huang said angrily.

"Pick it up! Of course you have to pick it up! ”

Ding Xiao smiled on the side, "Such a big good thing, don't take it for nothing." ”

"A good thing?"

Xu Huang frowned and said, "Young General, where do you see that this is a good thing?" ”

"Hehe, you can ask my brother-in-law about this." Ding Xiao pretended to be mysterious.

"Oh?"

Xu Huang turned to look at Lu Bu and hugged his fists, "General Lu, please make it clear." ”

The rest of the people also looked at Lu Bu.

"This, Brother Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Bu looked dazed.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Ding Xiao again.

"Brother-in-law, you just need to tell me how our Xiyuan Army got it in the first place." Ding Xiao reminded with a smile.

"I see!"

Lu Bu suddenly woke up and gave a general account of the situation that day.

In fact, about the merger of the Xiyuan Army, everyone talked about it when they usually drank, and everyone knew a rough idea, and when they heard Lu Bu tell the details, everyone also reacted one after another.

"Young General, you mean, let's accept the canonization as usual, and then go back and play tricks again, and get rid of this account, right?" Zhang Liao asked with a strange expression.

"What a debt!"

Xu Huang was a little unhappy, "This Bai Bo Army was originally ours, why should we talk about it?" ”

"That's it! We only recognize General Xu, and no one else! ”

"Why bother? In my opinion, let's directly refuse the canonization of the imperial court! ”

"That's right! If Hua Xiong is not convinced, he will pull out the team to practice, the same 50,000 soldiers and horses, who is afraid of whom? ”

Yang Feng and several other generals suddenly shouted.

"That's it!"

Ding Xiao waved his hand a little speechlessly, and then lowered his face and said, "You still think you are a rebel army?" One by one, what does it look like?! ”

"Major General, do you have a way to deal with it?" Xu Huang hurriedly asked.

"I've already said how!"

Ding Xiao was very dissatisfied with the discipline of these generals of the White Wave Army, so he didn't give Xu Huang a good look, "If the White Wave Army wants to change from a miscellaneous army to a regular army, it must accept the canonization of the imperial court!" But the team, we definitely can't give it to him! Do you understand? ”

“…… I understand. ”

After Xu Huang calmed down for a while, he finally understood what Ding Xiao meant, so he nodded and said, "The meaning of the young general is the method of relying on accounts that Brother Wen Yuan said before, right?" ”

"That's not called defaulting, it's just calculating."

Ding Xiao corrected it, and then showed a smile again, "Anyway, this time, we are not going to let Huaxiong go back, so why don't we accept the canonization?" Hehe, after receiving the holy decree, we can play whatever we want. ”

"That's right! When the time comes, our three armies will work together and divide his 50,000 horses, then our strength will definitely rise to a big level! Zhang Liao said eagerly.

In fact, in the past few days, he has sent people to recruit troops from all over the state, but the people have not yet returned, and he doesn't know how many people he can recruit this time, so he temporarily started the idea of Huaxiong people.

"That's a good idea!"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and said, "If we can collect all the Huaxiong people this time, you and I will each divide 20,000 yuan, and leave 10,000 yuan for Xu Huang, how about it?" ”

"I'm okay with that!"

Zhang Liao nodded excitedly, and looked at Xu Huang with Lu Bu.

"Is it useful for me to object?" Xu Huang asked with a wry smile.

After recruiting An Baibo Jun back this time, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had already mentioned to him several times, and they wanted to take away some of his men, but they were all politely rejected by him.

So this time, considering that his White Bo army is currently the largest in number, he chose to concede.

"Haha, then let's settle it."

"Good! Deal! ”

"In this case, let's discuss how to cooperate and take down that Huaxiong's men and horses in one fell swoop!"

"Good! I think so, let's ...... first."

In this way, before Huaxiong's men and horses appeared, they were regarded as in the bag by Lu Bu and divided in advance.

"Ahem, this ......"

Lu Zhi and the others looked at each other, not expecting such a result at all.

Oh, accept the canonization first, then pay the bills when it's over, and finally swallow the other party's men and horses in turn?

This method is too lacking in morality!

The four old men are all very upright people, and even if they want to break their heads, they can't think of such a way without discipline.

"It seems that we are really old......"

Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

"Lu Gong doesn't have to be like this, although this method, cough cough, although it is extraordinary, I have to admit that this is effective, and it is very relieving!"

Cai Yong naturally stood firmly on the side of the apprentice, so he smiled and excused the apprentice.

"If you want to say that, that's true!" Chen Ji also nodded beside him.

Of course, when he said this, he also meant to find himself under the stairs, "If things go well, the gap between us and Dong Thief will be smaller and smaller." ”

"Not bad."

Han Rong also nodded thoughtfully, and then also helped Ding Xiao say a fair word, "Now that Dong Thief is powerful, if you don't do this trick, I'm afraid it will be a few more years, until you and I are at the end of our lives, and the state army will not be able to form a scale to compete with Dong Thief head-on!" ”

Speaking of this, his gaze suddenly moved to Ding Xiao, "Only like Ding Xiao, often playing cards that do not follow common sense, can we develop rapidly and grow rapidly!" In order to destroy the Dong thief as soon as possible and return the world to peace as soon as possible! ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people looked uplifted, and when they looked at Ding Xiao's eyes, they had a little more hope out of thin air.
