When Gai Xun learned that the imperial court was preparing to appoint him as the minister of Xuanzhi to go to Bingzhou, he deliberately pretended to be reluctant according to Wang Yun's instructions, and deliberately looked for Dong Zhuo to theorize, saying that he had no good impression of Lu Bu and did not want to go.

In fact, Wang Yun is secretly helping Gai Xun. Last time, Dong Zhuo suddenly asked Wang Yun who was suitable to be the lieutenant of Sili, Wang Yun blurted out Gai Xun's name because he was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo in his heart, and Wang Yun regretted it afterwards.

This time, Dong Zhuo wanted to get Gai Xun to Lu Bu's side to be unlucky, but Wang Yun felt that Lu Bu was not so stupid, because the last minister Cai Yong didn't have too much fun in Jinyang!

Although Lu Bu made a move against the Sun clan of the wealthy family of Jinyang, this did not mean that he had a resistant and hateful attitude towards the scholars. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to recruit Lu Zhi, Chen Gong and Wei Qi into the mansion one after another.

Although Gai Xun is jealous and hateful, and dares to speak upright, it does not mean that he has no ability and ability. If he can be favored by Lu Bu and stay in Bingzhou to do things, it is actually a good thing for him.

Wang Yun quietly told Gai Xun about his analysis, and suggested that Gai Xun should not be too positive about this matter at the beginning, so as not to arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion, but he couldn't go like Shisun Rui.

Gai Xun has long been disgusted with Dong Zhuo, and now that he has the opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo's control, he naturally can't ask for it. When he came to see Dong Zhuo, he was a little angry and said: "Lu Bu is just a husband, and if he occasionally makes small contributions, the court will reward him lavishly, and let a minister like me go to announce the decree, I feel very shameless and don't want to go!" ”

Dong Zhuo saw that Gai Xun was angry, and said that Lu Bu was a puppet, and he was very happy, so he comforted Gai Xun and said: "Oh, it is precisely because Lu Bu is a puppet who is easy to get carried away, so he needs someone like you who dares to speak outright to teach him a lesson, so that he should not be arrogant!" At the beginning, when I first arrived in Luoyang, you wrote me such letters, you can't be afraid of Lu Bu now, right? ”

When Gai Xun heard this, he was furious and said angrily: "What a joke! Who has he ever been afraid of in his life? In this case, I still have to go to Merge State to see how arrogant Lu Bu is! ”

Dong Zhuo saw that he had succeeded in angering Gai Xun, and he was a little happy in his heart, and he insisted more on sending him to Bingzhou.

A few days later, the minister Gai Xun set out from Luoyang with more than 100 people, passing through Hongnong and Hedong, and went to Xihe Lishi in Bingzhou. Dong Zhuo's general Duan Xuan sent 200 cavalry to escort him along the way to ensure the safety of Gai Xun and his party.

The envoy of the imperial court was still on the way, and a group of cavalry led by Zhang Liao passed through Luliang Mountain and arrived under the Kei Pass.

Keiguan, located at the junction of Hedong and Hanoi, is located between Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, from which 70 miles to the north, you can enter the southernmost Shangdang County of Bingzhou. Wangwu Mountain and the remaining veins of Nantaihang are like two solid doors, shielding the capital of Luoyang, while Keiguan is like a big lock, controlling the crossroads of the south and the north, and the east and the west.

At this time, Keiguan had been tightly guarded by Dong Zhuo's army. Zhang Liao had expected this, he asked his subordinates to play the banner of the Tiance Army, and sent people to rush to the pass in advance to negotiate with the guards about customs clearance.

Garrisoned in Keiguan was Li Dai's subordinate Li Li, who was the son of Li Dao's younger brother Li Huan. Li Wei also has a younger brother named Li Ying, who was captured by Cheng Lian and Xue Lansheng in Shanglin Yuan. Fortunately, Li Li is not Li Ying's son, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more incidents this time.

Li Li had no idea whether to let Zhang Liao clear the customs and enter Hanoi, but he knew the strength of the Tiance army, and he had also heard about the fact that Lu Bu led people to raid Niu Fu, Dong Huang, Li Ying and others in Shanglin Yuan. The news of the marriage between the Dong family and Lu Bu had spread throughout the Xiliang Army, and Li Li did not dare to deliberately make things difficult for Lu Bu's subordinates.

Li Li asked Zhang Liao to tell him that he should first find a place to rest in the west of Jiguan, and he would send someone to Wen County to ask for instructions from the chief general Li Liao.

Zhang Liao didn't care, settled the team, and waited patiently for Li Wei's reply.

Li Wei received a report from his subordinates and learned that Zhang Liao, a partial general of the Tiance Army, led 500 cavalry to escort Hedong famous soldiers Wei Qi to Xiuwu to visit Zhang Fan, a famous man in Hanoi, so he immediately sent people to Jiguan to inform Li Li and let Zhang Liao and his party clear the customs. In Li Wei's view, it is not appropriate to block Zhang Liao and his entourage west of Jiguan.

After Zhang Liao passed through Kei Pass, when he traveled east to Yewang County, he encountered a cavalry sent by Li Dao.

Li Wei asked Zhang Liao and Wei Qi to go to Wen County first, on the grounds that Xiuwu County, where the famous scholar Zhang Fan was located, was now the base camp of Yuan Shao's rebels, and it would be too unsafe for Zhang Liao to bring people over like this.

Wen County, Li Wei's base camp in Hanoi, is located fifty miles north of the Yellow River, and is close to the two ferry ports of Mengjin and Wushejin. From Yewang to Xiuwu is from west to northeast, and to Wenxian is from north to south, which are two completely different directions.

In the face of Li Dao's cavalry, Zhang Liao restrained his emotions very well. Although he was sure that he would be able to dash the cavalry of thousands of people in front of him with a single charge, it was obviously unwise to make enemies with Li Dao now. Li Dao sent someone to "invite", but he was afraid that things were not so simple.

Zhang Liao escorted Wei Qi to Wen County with Li Dao's cavalry, and the two sides met in Li Dao's military camp.

Li Dao is in his forties, very strong, and although he doesn't look as tall as Zhang Liao, he is definitely not short. Li Dao's current identity is a general with five facial features, although he is not as tall as Lu Bu, but he is a cut above Zhang Liao's military position.

Zhang Liao took the initiative to salute Li Liao, and Li Dao was not arrogant enough to refuse to return the salute to Zhang Liao, but his attitude was not so enthusiastic. Li Dao asked Zhang Liao about the purpose of coming to Hanoi, and Zhang Liao told the truth, saying that he came to Hanoi to accompany Wei Qi to invite the famous Zhang Fan to Xihe as an official.

Li Dao told Zhang Liao: "Now that the thief Yuan Shao has gathered several defeated troops and stationed in the Xiuwu area, if General Wenyuan goes to Xiuwu at this time, I am afraid that the Yuan clan will stop him." Even if the Yuan clan doesn't stop you, when you lead the cavalry into Xiuwu City, I'm afraid that these hundreds of high-grade war horses you brought will also attract the Yuan clan's covetousness. According to what the general can see, it is better to stay in Wen County temporarily, and after the Yuan family leaves Hanoi, it is not too late to go to Xiuwu. ”

Zhang Liao nodded, agreeing with Li Dao's analysis, and he asked Li Dao: "Based on what General Zhonglang has seen, when will the Yuan family leave Hanoi?" ”

Li Wei shook his head, saying that he could not speculate on the time when Yuan Shao would lead his army to leave Hanoi.

Zhang Liao didn't know Li Dao's true purpose, so he didn't say more, so he settled down in Wenxian County first.

In the evening, Li Wei set up a banquet in the tent to wash the dust for Zhang Liao and Wei Qi, Wei Qi did not go on the grounds of physical discomfort, and Zhang Liao went to the banquet alone.

During the banquet, Li Dao finally put forward his request.

Li Wei said: "I am a general under the command of Xiangguo, and I am very happy to hear that the daughter of the Dong family and General Tiance have married. However, the soldiers under my command expressed dissatisfaction with General Tiance's capture of Niu Fu and others at the beginning of the year, and often made inappropriate remarks. General Wenyuan is the right-hand man under the command of General Tiance, and his bravery must be no less than that of General Tiance, I don't know if I can teach a lesson or two? ”

Zhang Liao looked at Li Dao and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his heart.
