Liang County is a small county seat, but it is a traffic artery connecting Luoyang and Wancheng. The occupation of Liang County is equivalent to guarding the liaison between Luoyang and Wancheng.

However, such an important strategic location, Zhang Mancheng only sent a few thousand Yellow Turban troops to garrison the city. When Dong Zhuo led his army to come, thousands of Yellow Turban troops in the city surrendered without a fight, and Dong Zhuo occupied the city without a single soldier.

"Wen You, what do you mean by Huangfu Lao'er?" Dong Zhuo handed the letter in his hand to Li Ru with a playful look on his face.

Li Ru took the letter, skimmed it roughly, and had a faint smile on his face: "Father-in-law really doesn't know?" I think my father-in-law is testing my son-in-law. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Wenyou, I like you literati to speak, and those who listen are comfortable." We don't have outsiders here, what do you mean by Huangfu Lao'er? ”

"Huangfu Gonggong asked the Son of Heaven to appoint his father-in-law as the Zhonglang General to guard Liang County. is nothing more than to put pressure on Zhang Bao of the county tomb. Now he sent a letter to order his father-in-law to mobilize a large army to go north, and he couldn't let Zhang Bao see through that his father-in-law was no longer here, thinking that it was because Zhang Bao was difficult to deal with, and arranged a bureau, a bureau that made it difficult for Zhang Bao to fly. ”

Li Ru's slender eyes flashed with wisdom from time to time.

"Layout?" Dong Zhuo's face was full of disgust, he had never liked people with fancy intestines, and he felt deeply disgusted for this kind of person. Because of his innate divine powers, he likes to solve everything by force, but it was not until he suffered a loss at the body of a scribe that he understood that innate divine power is not invincible.

Li Ru nodded and said, "Yes, layout." Although I don't know what kind of bureau the Emperor Fu is arranging, it seems from this letter that it is very likely that the flashpoint is on Zhang Jiao in Jizhou. ”

Dong Zhuo lowered his head and muttered to himself: "On Zhang Jiao? In other words, we left the soldiers and horses to contain Zhang Bao and make it difficult for him to understand the situation. In that case......"

"Wenyou, since we are so important, why don't we be the same as before?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with bright eyes. What he said was the same as before, referring to the time when he was in Xiliang, no matter what the imperial court sent, he would always take the opportunity to blackmail, otherwise he would not be able to work. Because the imperial court had a weak control over Xiliang, he had no choice but to meet Dong Zhuo's requirements.

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, whose eyes were shining, and said solemnly with a serious face: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law advises the father-in-law not to do this." The reason why we came to the Central Plains on the path of the eunuch Zhang Rang was to show our loyalty to the imperial court. Moreover, Huangfu Yizhen is not an easy person, so the son-in-law suggested that his father-in-law should not be the same as before. ”

Dong Zhuo is a grumpy and reckless man, but he has one advantage, he is good at listening to opinions, especially Li Ru's opinions.

"Okay, since Wen You doesn't agree, then listen to Wen You. It's just that I don't take the opportunity to make some benefits, and I feel a little pity in my heart. Dong Zhuo touched his chin with his right hand and said.

"It's just a false way, and it's still prostrate." Li Ru said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have figured it out, and said with a smile: "Wen You's words are deeply in line with my heart, deep in my heart." You go and prepare the army and horses, since Zuo Zhonglang will give us a task, we still have to comply. ”

"The son-in-law obeys." Li Ru, who slapped Dong Zhuo's whole body, turned around and left.

Different from the small county town of Liang County, Changshe is a well-guarded city. Although the height of the city wall cannot be compared with Luoyang, it is enough for a medium-sized county seat. Coupled with the wide moat, the entire Changsha is not to mention the iron wall, which is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Huangfugong, you are confused. How could Dong Zhuo be transferred to Liang County? This person's wolf ambition can't be used. Zhu Jun roared at Huangfu Song with great emotion.

Huangfu Song smiled bitterly and comforted the excited old friend in front of him: "Gongwei, be excited." Although you and I know Dong Zhuo's wolf ambitions, Your Majesty doesn't know it. This time, Dong Zhuo bribed the eunuch Zhang Rang with a large amount of jewelry, and Zhang asked His Majesty to bewitch Dong Zhuo to send troops to attack the Yellow Turban, and I was helpless. ”

"You...... Alas! Of course, Zhu Jun knew that this was not something that Huangfu Song could decide, but he really had no place to vent his anger.

"Zhang Rang, this eunuch, don't you know that the yellow scarf Zhang Bao has not been removed? This is another Dong Zhuo with wolf ambitions. Can't the world of my Han be peaceful? ”

Zhu Jun gritted his teeth and cursed Zhang Rang there, but everything was to no avail. After all, Dong Zhuo led the army under the command of the frontier into the Central Plains.

"Zhu Gong, I don't think so." A scribe in a long robe sitting in a corner said with a smile. This person is Cheng Yu invited by Cao Cao.

On the same day, Zhu Jun proposed to ask Cheng Yu to help, and Cao Cao was ordered to invite Cheng Yu. I thought Cheng Yu would shirk it, but I didn't expect that as soon as he heard that it was an invitation from the imperial court, he followed without saying a word.

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun had a conversation with Cheng Yu, and praised Cheng Yu for his talent. Whether it is people's livelihood or military strategy, Cheng Yu has a unique set of opinions, and Huangfu Song immediately appointed Cheng Yu as a military advisor with the army.

"Oh? What is Chung Tak's opinion? Huangfu Song, who was tormented by Zhu Jun's complaints, heard that Cheng Yu had a different opinion, and hurriedly took this opportunity to change the topic.

"Huangfu Gong, Zhu Gong."

Cheng Yu first performed a courtesy, and then said: "In the first year of Yongkang (167), the imperial court named Dong Zhuo as Yulin Lang in order to suppress the Qiang people who rebelled at that time. In the past two years, the imperial court has suppressed him, and he must have felt it. Yu thought that Dong Zhuo's purpose in sending troops to the Central Plains this time was to show loyalty to the imperial court, so Dong Zhuo would definitely not be in turmoil in a short time. ”

"Well, what Zhongde said is very true."

Huangfu Song agreed with Cheng Yu's analysis, patted Zhu Jun on the shoulder and said, "Gongwei, did you hear what Zhongde said?" Now is not the time to worry about Dong Zhuo, the main target now is Zhang Bao. ”

Zhu Jun said helplessly: "You're right, no matter what, the main target now is the thief Zhang Bao." Getting rid of Zhang Bao is our top priority. ”

"Report~" The voice of a sentry suddenly came from outside.

"General Qiyu, Lu Zhonglang sent a probe to report that the first thief in Jizhou went out to Youzhou."

"Okay." Huangfu Song couldn't help but shoot the case.

At this time, Zhang Jiao didn't know the conspiracy of Huangfu Song and others who were far away in the long society, and he was now furious. Cheng Yuanzhi, who was kneeling under the tent, lowered his head without saying a word.

Cheng Yuanzhi led a vanguard of 30,000 horses, which was attacked by Liu Yu's subordinate Zou Jing, and the generals Tao Sheng and Deng Mao were killed, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were also lost. Frightened, he didn't dare to march forward any further, so he could only set up camp and wait for Zhang Jiao's army to come.

"You're just a piece of shit. You have fought dozens of battles, big and small, don't you know the reason why the poor are not chasing? Have you applied all these experiences to dogs? ”

Cheng Yuanzhi knelt there without saying a word, and wanted to say that Tao Sheng ignored the military order and chased after him without authorization. However, the deceased has passed away, and Tao Sheng is the confidant of the general Zhang Liang, and justifying it at this moment will definitely give people an image of shirking responsibility. Helpless, he pursed his mouth full of bitterness and quietly waited for his fate.

The Tiangong general in the hall was still furious, and when he heard the words "push out and behead", Cheng Yuanzhi smiled, with a bitter wry smile on his mouth. Sure enough, the final fate is death after all.
