Liu Yi attacked Dong Zhuo this time, quietly, and made up his mind. Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, naturally didn't know, even the generals under Dong Zhuo who were fighting against Liu Yi's army didn't know it.

Of course, just because they are unaware does not mean that they are unprepared.

In fact, when Dong Zhuo evacuated from Chang'an, Li Ru, who was not very willing to shrink into Chang'an forever, fled to Hongnong County with Dong Zhuo and the emperor and a group of hundreds of military officials.

Dong Zhuo lost the battle with the allied forces in the world, and Liu Yi suddenly killed Luoyang, especially asked Li Ru and Fan Chou to escort the grain and grass from the grain cave near the Xishan Emperor's Mausoleum to Chang'an, Li Ru failed to complete such a simple task, not only let the grain fall into Liu Yi's hands, but also lost his 10,000 or 20,000 military horses.

For Dong Zhuo, food is the foundation of his development, as long as there is food, even if it is withdrawn to Chang'an, or even withdrawn to Xiliang, he can make a comeback with the money and grain in his hand. Therefore, losing so much food is equivalent to asking for Dong Zhuo's life. If it weren't for seeing the mistake in it, it was Li Ru's fault alone, he would have killed Li Ru, the son-in-law. After something like Dong Sanmei, Dong Zhuo looked down on his daughter, so for his son-in-law, there was no family affection at all, and when he really wanted to kill Li Ru, he would definitely not be soft.

Even if he doesn't kill Li Ru, his trust in Li Ru has greatly decreased, and it can be said that Dong Zhuo will basically not listen to Li Ru's advice anymore.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was chased by Liu Yi's army. Especially at that time, Lu Bu, the righteous son, was still in Xingyang City, and was not by his side, Hua Xiong was seriously injured and did not fully recover, and there was no effective general around him to protect him, he saw that Xu Zhu who was pursuing him was powerful, and his own generals were killed before they could meet with Xu Zhu's enemies. So, even if he fled to Hongnong City. Protected by the city's high and thick walls, he was also worried that he would not be able to resist Liu Yi's pursuers.

He was so frightened that he wanted to lead his army regardless of Yiqiē. Completely abandon Hongnong County, all retreat into Hangu Pass, and then leave troops to defend those dangerous passes, he and the emperor and others fled to Chang'an first.

If Dong Zhuo really did that and withdrew the army from Hongnong County, it would be equivalent to doing Liu Yi a big favor, and if Hongnong County fell into Liu Yi's hands. Then Liu Yi can rely on Hongnong, and the army will approach Hangu Pass, cutting off the retreat of Lu Bu, Xu Rong, Li Guo, and others who have not yet entered the pass. At that time, Lu Bu, Xu Rong and others would be besieged by the military horses transferred by Liu Yi, and there would be nowhere to escape. At the same time, it can also intercept a large number of people who have been driven to Hongnong County by Dong Zhuo's army, so that the people can escape from Dong Zhuo's clutches. There is no need to be forced to leave their hometown and be forced to move to Chang'an to do slavery.

It was Li Ru who dissuaded Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo still controlled Hongnong County until now. He left the army in Hongnong, which made Liu Yi's soldiers not dare to act rashly during Liu Yi's absence in Luoyang, and they have not been able to capture Hongnong County.

Li Ru offered advice to Dong Zhuo, asking Dong Zhuo not to give up Hongnong County so rashly, and he analyzed to Dong Zhuo that at that time, although the Xu Zhuyi army that pursued them was brave, but the troops were not many. At most, there are no more than 10,000 people, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 Xiliang cavalry who withdrew to Hongnong County with Dong Zhuo. Moreover. Li Ru also judged that Liu Yi did not have many soldiers and horses, and they did not need to withdraw so much.

In addition, he Dong Zhuo showed that the strategic location of Hongnong County is very important, at least, and the strategic position in the local area is definitely not lower than that of Hujiaoguan. As long as Hongnong County is still in his hands, he can always pose a threat to Luoyang, and he can send troops from Hongnong to recapture the capital of Luoyang at any time. The most important thing is that most of Dong Zhuo's current generals have not been withdrawn, if Dong Zhuo does not leave a large army to guard Hongnong County, once Hongnong City is taken away by Liu Yi, then it is very likely that Liu Yi will cut off the passage in and out of Chang'an. Dong Zhuo's generals and sergeants who have not yet withdrawn will be trapped by Liu Yi in Luoyang for a trapped beast fight. In this way, it will definitely chill the hearts of the generals under him, and in the future, even if they can escape from the Luoyang area and flee to Chang'an, they may not be as loyal to Dong Zhuo as before.

Secondly, if Dong Zhuo really gave up Hongnong County, it would be equivalent to his chance to fight in the world again after he took a break to recuperate in the future. Hongnong County fell into the hands of Liu Yi, then, sooner or later, Hangu Pass will also fall into the hands of Liu Yi, and when the time comes, his army will be trapped in Chang'an, and it will never be difficult to send troops to the Central Plains again.

Of course, he could take a long detour, wading through mountains and rivers from the northern prairies, and entering Bingzhou from the Great Wall, but how long did it take to march? After a month or two of marching, the army arrived in Bingzhou, how much combat strength was left? Not to mention this, how will the food be supplied when the time comes? So, that's not quite possible. The most worrying thing is not how they will send troops to Middle-earth to dominate the world in the future, but once Hangu Pass falls into the hands of Liu Yi, then it is bound to be forced by Liu Yi step by step, although from Hangu Pass to Chang'an, there are many passes along the way, and there are layers of checkpoints, but it is difficult to guarantee whether Liu Yi will really be able to take them one by one, and then he will directly come to Chang'an, so what will he do?

For all kinds of reasons, Hongnong County cannot afford to lose.

Dong Zhuo didn't want to listen to Li Ru's advice anymore, but a think tank is a think tank, and after a few words, Dong Zhuo knew that what Li Ru said made sense. Therefore, he ordered someone to lead the army to counterattack and repel Xu Zhu.

After that, Dong Zhuo stayed in Hongnong County and waited until Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others would return, and then returned to Chang'an, Guanzhong.

And when Dong Zhuo and the other generals returned, Li Ru offered Dong Zhuo a strategy on how to defend Hongnong County.

Based on what he saw and what the sergeant said, he speculated about Liu Yi's military strength, and then built Dong Zhuo to leave a large army in Hongnong County, leaving an army large enough to fight Liu Yi head-on, so that Liu Yi's army did not dare to capture Hongnong County lightly.

The geographical location of Hongnong County is very conducive to defending or attacking in the direction of Luoyang. Li Rujian took Hongnong County as the center, left tens of thousands of elite cavalry in Hongnong County, and then quickly increased troops to defend the small towns around Hongnong County. When a town is attacked, other towns send troops to support in time, and Hongnong City sends a cavalry army to support. In terms of the geographical location of Hongnong City. No matter which small town Liu Yi attacked, they could send troops from the Hong family to support them in time. From the Yellow River in the north, to the east, south, and west, Hongnong County is surrounded by a fan-shaped terrain, so as long as there are enough troops to stay in Hongnong County, Liu Yi will definitely not dare to act rashly.

Dong Zhuo listened. I also feel that this is the truth, he hurriedly withdrew from Luoyang, and Liu Yijun, who was suddenly killed, escaped from Luoyang like a dog, and now that I think about it, it is really not his Dong Zhuo's character. fled to Chang'an with his tail between his legs, will anyone in the world be afraid of him in the future? Everyone will say that he is afraid of Levi.

At the same time, Li Ru drew a big cake to Dong Zhuo.

He said to Dong Zhuo, if there is chaos today. Although Dong Xiangguo coerced the current emperor to Chang'an, the Han Emperor is still the Han Emperor, and he Dong Zhuo still has the advantage of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Now, although there are many heroes in the world who do not obey the order to attack him, there are more princes who have not participated in the punishment, and after Xiangguo settles down in Chang'an, he can give the princes of the world a holy decree, how many princes in the world? At least, there are still many princes who did not participate in the crusade against him Dong Zhuo. In the future, Dong Zhuo can also reorganize the army and recapture Luoyang. At that time, you could join the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in the south and the north, and you could also send a holy decree to the state pastor of the state to come to worship. Let them submit to Dong Zhuo's Han court. When necessary, he can also issue an order to the heroes of the world to announce that the relocation of the capital to Chang'an is not Dong Zhuo's wish, but forced by Liu Yi's chaotic soldiers. Then, you can ask the heroes of the world to lead the army. Welcome the emperor back to Luoyang and Kyoto, and take charge of the imperial court together.

In this way, Liu Yi can be surrounded on all sides. Let Liu Yi replace him Dong Zhuo and be attacked by the heroes of the world.

Li Ru's plan cannot be described as poisonous.

Especially wants to borrow the hands of the world's people to attack Liu Yi's plan.

It's a pity that as soon as Liu Yi captured Luoyang, he immediately rebuilt a Han court and supported the young emperor Liu Wei as the emperor, because the young emperor also has a legal status, and Liu Yi had issued a notice earlier, and everyone in the world knew that the young emperor was forced to abdicate and leave the palace by Dong Zhuo and hundreds of officials. So that no one in the world dares to publicly say that the young emperor supported by Liu Yi is not the emperor and cannot represent the Han family.

It is precisely because of this that Li Ru's strategy was not implemented, because he implemented it, and he was afraid that no one in the world would believe that Dong Zhuo could return to Luoyang with the emperor. Moreover, it is impossible for the people of the world to attack the Han court controlled by Liu Yi, in case Liu Yi is simply so generous, saying that he can welcome back the emperor, his young emperor can abdicate and make way for Xian, like Dong Zhuo forced the young emperor, then it will make it difficult for Dong Zhuo to ride the tiger.

At that time, the heroes of the world gathered in Luoyang, and he Dong Zhuo was no longer a monopoly, and the heroes of the world joined forces to restrain him Dong Zhuo under Liu Yi's control, so is it possible for Dong Zhuo to have today's status? Besides, as soon as the army of the world comes, it may not be to serve the emperor with Dong Zhuo and take charge of the court, but to destroy him Dong Zhuo first.

Of course, this plan could not be implemented, but it was not wrong to persuade Dong Zhuo to leave the army to guard Hongnong County.

Dong Zhuo also understands the importance of Hongnong County, his desire to dominate the world has not been completely annihilated, and he still has a lot of thoughts in his heart. is really unwilling to nest in Chang'an like this and give up the hegemony of the world.

Therefore, he obeyed Li Ru's plan, leaving Li Dao and Guo Yan to each lead 20,000 elite cavalry to guard Hongnong to resist Liu Yi. Li and Guo, each with 20,000 military horses, all stayed. This is the elite soldiers left by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and what Huang Xu has found now is the tens of thousands of military horses that have only been recruited recently.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also sent a secret letter to Zhang Ji, who was still in Yiyang, asking him to lead the army to Lushi County, where the garrison would defend Lushi and echo each other with Hongnong County.

In addition to these, they retreated to Hangu Pass, leaving an army of 20,000 or 30,000 as the receiving troops of Li and Guo at Hangu Pass, and tried their best to protect Hongnong County as much as possible.

Dong Zhuo's original 200,000 Xiliang cavalry did not suffer large casualties in the battle with the allies, at most they lost 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and in the battle with Liu Yi, they lost more. But when the battle is full, there are more than 100,000 real elite soldiers, and he left almost 100,000 elite soldiers in Hongnong County in one go, which can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's willingness to pay the capital.

Of course, Dong Zhuo also developed a lot of military horses after occupying Luoyang, and his total strength was actually much more than when he originally came from Xiliang to Luoyang, and after moving the capital, he still had an army of more than 200,000 or 300,000.

In addition, he forced many people to Chang'an. And Chang'an also has a large population, and if Dong Zhuo recovers, he will definitely be able to quickly grow his strength. The number of troops can increase rapidly.

However, no matter how many soldiers and horses Dong Zhuo has now, among the troops left in Hongnong County, among them, Zhang Ji's 30,000 horses, as well as Li and Guo's 20,000 horses each, and Hangu Pass's 20,000 or 30,000 horses, are all Dong Zhuo's elite headquarters. As long as the nearly 100,000 horses are eliminated. This will be a heavy blow to Dong Zhuo, and it will almost make Dong Zhuo fall from now on.

Without the elite, what is the use of his troops? What Liu Yi wants to fight is the elite, and when the time comes, Dong Zhuo will lose so many elite troops, so no matter how many troops he has, he will collapse at the touch of a button. It is simply impossible to compete with their own strength.

In fact, for the time being, Liu Yi is constantly developing. Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, only cared about his own pleasure and did not develop much at all. In terms of comprehensive strength in all aspects, Liu Yi is already stronger than Dong Zhuo, and it can be said that Liu Yi can now conquer Dong Zhuo alone without uniting with others.

However, it was not an easy task to completely eliminate the elite cavalry that Dong Zhuo had left in Hongnong, Lushi, Hangu and other places.

Liu Yi now has several major military divisions to formulate a plan for a sudden attack on the whole front. It seems perfect, but it doesn't really work with one hit.

Because, the most critical point is that these real elite troops left by Dong Zhuo are all cavalry.

Cavalry. It has a natural advantage for speed.

Unless, as Liu Yi had done in several sneak attacks and ambushes before, while the enemy army was sleeping in camp, or taking advantage of the favorable terrain, the cavalry could not exert their unique impact advantage. In that way, it would be possible to defeat these elite cavalry of Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.

But don't forget, now Dong Zhuo's sergeants who remain in Hongnong County, they are all on the defensive. In other words, as long as they are ready for battle, it seems that Liu Yi has no time to sneak attack.

For where they were, they were not camped in the wilderness, but guarded by the city.

In this way, they are nested in the city, and the sneak attack of Liu Yi and other troops will not be able to attack and kill their camp at once. When Lewi's army attacked their town, they had plenty of time to prepare for battle. At that time, be prepared, the cavalry on horseback could open the city gate and kill it, even if they were not defeated by Liu Yi's sergeants, they could escape from the battlefield with their horses.

Even if Liu Yi's sergeants are all cavalry, when the cavalry pursues the cavalry, they may not be able to annihilate them, not to mention, most of Liu Yi's sergeants are still infantry?

Therefore, Li Ru also knew very well the advantages of their Xiliang cavalry.

He made a detailed plan for Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other leaders to guard against Liu Yihui's attack on Hongnong County, and he asked several generals to set up cavalry camps in the city as much as possible. Although it was not easy to attack, it could have greatly avoided being attacked by Lewy's army.

In the confrontation with Liu Yi, there have been several bloody attacks on the camp, and they have also learned a deep lesson. Especially Li Dao and Guo Yan, they were the first victims, their 20,000 cavalry, in the middle of the night suddenly attacked by Liu Yi, they didn't even have time to ride the war horse, they were killed, this matter, for them, is simply a nightmare, and in the same place, later received the same sneak attack.

Then, in the Tibetan grain valley, in front of the valley, Li Ru was also ambushed and attacked by Liu Yi's army, and so on, all of which did not give them a hint, Liu Yijun, scheming, very good at ambush and sneak attack, Liu Yi's army would always appear suddenly when they were unaware and thought it was the most unlikely.

Therefore, they set up their military camp in the city, so that it was impossible for Liu Yijun to suddenly appear in the city to carry out a sneak attack. In addition, he asked the generals to be vigilant at all times, as soon as they perceived danger, or if Liu Yi's army came to attack the city, their elite soldiers must immediately mount their war horses, ready to attack or retreat at any time.

As for the troops defending the city, Li Ru asked them to vigorously recruit troops and horses in their respective garrisons, at least to increase the number of troops they rated, and he said that he would ask Dong Zhuo to increase the military budget, so that they could recruit troops and horses with confidence.

That's why they have so many more soldiers.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, in addition to the 20,000 people in the headquarters, they also added 20,000 military horses each. Zhang Ji also made a sharp conquest, raising the number of troops from 30,000 to 50,000. It's just that Zhang Ji is used to embezzling military funds and military rations, and he reported that he had increased his troops by 30,000 troops, and privately swallowed 10,000 soldiers and horses of military rations.

In addition, Li Ru asked them to fight, but if they found something wrong, their cavalry must retreat quickly, depending on the situation, they can retreat to Hangu Pass, but the best thing is to withdraw from the battlefield first, and then wait for the opportunity to carry out a counter-sneak attack on Liu Yi's army. In short, no matter what, Hongnong County cannot afford to lose, even if it temporarily falls into the hands of Liu Yi, they must be ready to recapture it.

If they can't do it, they can directly lead the army into Luoyang, attack the towns that are already under Liu Yi's control, and force Liu Yi to return from Hongnong County to the rescue.
