It is said that Dong Zhuo withdrew to Luoyang with the defeated army, and planned to order the whole army to plunder the big households in Luoyang, and was ready to rob him and return to his hometown in Xiliang.

"Lord, don't be like this, now that our army is newly defeated, the Luoyang clan is more chunchun, if the looting is carried out again, it will definitely cause a backlash, and the previous act of the former emperor has caused dissatisfaction among the people in the court, fortunately, there is no evidence left, and no one can be left to the truth." Li Rujin said.

"Tell the truth? I've been very good to the people in the court, but how do they repay me? The false proclamation of the Holy Decree has led to the conquest of me. Hmph, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill them? This time, I want to let them know whether my knife is sharp, by the way, Yuan Shao is still the leader of the alliance, so I will start with Yuan Feng's old horseman. Dong Zhuo said angrily.

Dong Zhuo at this time was different from Dong Zhuo in history, except that he killed a few Han diehards in order to control the government at the beginning, and then went to capture Liu Meng's tiger prison after stabilizing the situation, he did not do anything angry.

Li Ru was helpless when he saw Dong Zhuo's anger, but as the chief strategist of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, he naturally couldn't see Dong Zhuo make a mistake but turned a blind eye, and then admonished: "Does the lord still have the intention to take this world?" ”

"That's nature."

"The land of the Central Plains is not cooler than the West, and there are many clans, if the lord becomes the enemy of the clan, it will be difficult to obtain the world."

"Oh? Is it so serious? Then I will kill all the world's clans, what is the use of these scholars who have no power to restrain chickens. Dong Zhuo said disdainfully.

Li Ru has a headache, Dong Zhuo is ambitious and capable, but the indulgent, willful, rough and ferocious character he developed when he was young makes people have a headache.

"My lord, not to mention that offending these clans and our army will be hindered to gain the world, just say that I am a heroic man in Xiliang, don't you hear that it is easy to take the world and it is difficult to rule the world? If you kill all the world's clans, how will the world be governed? ”

"This, is that all there is?" Dong Zhuo still couldn't swallow this breath.

Li Ru also knew that it would not work to prevent Dong Zhuo from taking such a breath, so he said: "The lord only needs to kill the person in charge this time." ”

"Well, as you said, check, you have to find out who did it this time. What about the coalition? Did you give up this Luoyang to them in vain? ”

At this moment, the subordinates came to report that there was a horse to report the important military situation, and Dong Zhuo stopped talking and asked the subordinates to bring him into the mansion.

"Report to the lord, Cao Cao and Sun Zan in the coalition have gone back to their respective territories." Tanma report.

"Congratulations to the lord, it must be that the princes from all walks of life have different thoughts, and the coalition forces are scattered." Li Rudao.

"Haha, God help me, reward, there are many rewards, you go down and get ten gold." Dong Zhuo said happily.

Tanma retreated happily.

"Wen You, fortunately, you have your advice, otherwise it will be too late for the order to be issued, these princes are really inexplicable, they were defeated by our army before, and they retreated after a victory, but it is a good thing after all, what should our army do now?"

"Now our army's newly defeated army is unstable, we should recuperate for a period of time, and we should not use swords and soldiers, and then the main enemy is Liu Meng, the general of Pingxi, who is based on the tiger prison pass is the throat of the east of Luoyang, and the side of the couch will not allow others to sleep peacefully, and its soldiers are strong and fierce, and it is really the head enemy of our army." Li Rudao.

Speaking of Liu Meng, Dong Zhuo's anger that had just calmed down rose again: "Yes, it's all this guy, without him, our army will not be defeated, and after I reorganize my army, I will be the first to clean up this person." ”

Liu Meng, who returned to the Tiger Prison, would not have thought that he had been regarded as a thorn in Dong Zhuo's side, and at this time he was thinking about what to do next.

Now that history has shifted slightly, his original plan was naturally to occupy the Tiger Prison and Luoyang, use the Tiger Prison as a barrier to resist the princes of the Central Plains, develop forces to expand westward, and take Dong Zhuo as the first enemy, after all, he fought against Dong Zhuo in the name of the Han clan to rescue Emperor Xian and occupy the righteousness.

But now Dong Zhuo is defeated, but the power is still not to be underestimated, it is impossible to forcibly capture Luoyang, but it is not possible to only guard the Tiger Pass, Liu Meng has a headache, at this time Liu Meng deeply realized the weakness of his army, the soldiers are strong, but the lack of brains, he Liu Meng only knows some of the general trend, but the general trend has slowly changed a little, he needs strategists to make up for his own shortcomings.

But where to look for it all the while? It's up to him to rely on.

After thinking hard for several days and not coming up with a good plan, I suddenly heard that someone in Luoyang came to visit.

Liu Meng recruited people.

"I've seen General Pinxi." Come humanely.

"Who are you?" Liu Meng asked.

"A certain is the housekeeper in Wang Situ's mansion."

What did Wang Yun, this old man, come to do with himself? Liu Meng was a little puzzled.

It turned out that on that day, Dong Zhuo ordered a strict investigation of the person in charge of the matter, Wu Fu saw that the matter was exposed, and in order to protect Wang Yun, he angrily scolded Dong Zhuo in the court, and took all the matter to himself, and the angry Dong Zhuo naturally killed him, and Wang Yun was able to save his life.

But Wang Yun, the old man, is indeed a die-hard loyalist of the Han family, and he has not stopped for two days and started to act again, this time what he wants to do is the unfinished business before, and if he wants Liu Meng to raise troops, he should eliminate Dong Zhuo internally.

Liu Meng was also a little moved after hearing what the visitor said, so he asked the person to go down to rest first, and invited everyone to discuss.

"Lord, the last general feels that this matter is inappropriate, our army only has more than 30,000 people, and we have to stay in the tiger prison, and the most people and horses that can be mobilized are 20,000, and there are no less than 80,000 defenders in Luoyang City, even if there is an internal response, it is difficult for us to attack." Chu Yan said.

"I think this matter is feasible, now we are waiting for the army to be in the tiger prison, Dong Zhuo will attack us first if he finishes resting, and then our army will be dragged here, which is not conducive to the development of our army, and although the tiger prison is now full of grain and grass, but Luoyang has been occupied by Dong Zhuo, there is no source of grain and grass sooner or later, it is better to break the kettle and sink the boat once." Ren Xiu'er said.

What Ren Xiu'er said made Liu Meng wake up, he forgot that there is such a thing as grain and grass, now the Tiger Prison is not all systematic soldiers and horses, and there are more than 20,000 defenders in the Guanzhong who want to eat food, if Dong Zhuo comes to his senses and traps him here, it will only take a year, and the Tiger Prison will be self-defeating.

Thinking about it here, Liu Meng is also ruthless, fight once, it's a big deal to fail to learn from Liu Bei to be a wandering army, anyway, his own system is in his body, as long as he has a killing intent value, he can recruit troops and buy horses, unlike other princes who have no territory and no source of soldiers, and then learn Taizu to fight guerrilla warfare and accumulate strength.

With the decision, Liu Meng would not act recklessly, but he knew that there were many Luoyang clans, and these people had private soldiers in their hands, and they were not weak forces when they gathered together, so he wrote a letter, in which he asked Wang Yun to try his best to unite the Luoyang clan.

Looking at the more than 200,000 killing intent values on his body, Liu Meng thought about upgrading to see if he could get a melee soldier card, after all, his subordinates were too lacking in melee troops, and the limitations of vine armor soldiers were too great, and they were not suitable for large-scale recruitment.
