Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, people in Luoyang City have been panicking. Because Situ Wang Yun failed to persuade Ding Yuan to retire, he also brought back the news that Ding Yuan scolded Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this, and immediately led the army out of Luoyang City to fight against the Bingzhou army.

Dong Zhuo, who was originally full of confidence, met the flying general Lu Bu at the beginning of the battle. After Dong Zhuo, who almost died at the hands of Lu Bu, was rescued by his soldiers, he fled back to Luoyang City with the Liangzhou army in a panic.

After returning to Luoyang City, because he was afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, Dong Zhuo strictly ordered to defend the city. Just when Dong Zhuo was in trouble for Lu Bu's matter, he was under the account of Hu Ben Zhonglang General, Li Su. He said: "Don't worry, my lord, that Lu Bu is a fellow villager of Su. Su Jiu heard that Lu Bu was under Na Ding Yuan's account, because of his excessive merits, he had always been suspicious of Na Ding Yuan, such a fierce general, but he was riding a trailer pony under his crotch. The lord only needs to give a BMW and give it a high position. Su will be able to let him use it for the lord's father. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked people to bring the thousand-mile horse "Red Rabbit" to Li Su, and promised: If Lu Bu is willing to rebel, he will be given the throne, rewarded with gold, and is willing to recognize him as a righteous son.

Late that night, Li Su quietly went out of the city, came to Lu Bu's camp, and told him these things. Lu Bu was also moved when he heard this, but he didn't completely make up his mind. Unexpectedly, when Lu Bu was about to send Li Su out of the tent, Ding Yuan suddenly broke into the tent and scolded Lu Bu for colluding with Dong Zhuo and being an unfaithful and unrighteous person.

Originally, although Lu Bu was moved, he always cared about Ding Yuan's appreciation. At this time, seeing Ding Yuan slandering himself, the resentment that Lu Bu had accumulated in his heart for many years finally broke out. After stabbing Ding Yuan, Lu Bu used his prestige in the Bingzhou army to lead the Bingzhou army to submit to Dong Zhuo.

Because of Lu Bu's submission of the people, Dong Zhuo had no worries, and he was even more unscrupulous in the palace, forcing the young emperor to canonize himself as the prime minister of the dynasty, and enjoying the privilege of entering the palace with a sword and not worshipping. In addition to these, Dong Zhuo lingered in the palace of the late emperor's concubines all day long, and sometimes let many concubines sleep at the same time, causing chaos in the palace.

For the brutal and unscrupulous Dong Zhuo, the ministers headed by Wang Yun dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. One day, Wang Yun invited Dong Zhuo to his home to enjoy the dancing queen. When Dong Zhuo was invited, he thought that this was a signal that the minister of the clan intended to obey him, so he readily agreed.

During the banquet, Cao Ying, who had a secret conversation with Wang Yun and others, assassinated Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a family heirloom knife, but the assassination failed because Dong Zhuo blocked the knife closely.

Cao Ying, who escaped from Luoyang City, returned to Chenliu with the secret edicts of Wang Yun and other ministers, and began to call on the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo in the name of "scattering family wealth and joining righteous soldiers". As soon as these words came out, the world shook. Those princes with different thoughts, after getting the news, responded to the call one after another and gathered towards Chen Liucheng. All of a sudden, the entire Chen Liucheng was in turmoil.

Yuzhou, Yangzhai City.

Sun Ling accompanied the third daughter and took Sun Hao out for a day! After coming back, he took the information in Zhang Yan's hand and looked at it.

"It's finally begun! Dian Wei, you go and call Zilong and them, as well as all the military advisors, to the council hall. Sihan, you also have to be present at this meeting. After reading the content of the information in his hand, Sun Ling looked at Dian Wei and Zhang Yan and instructed, and then walked towards the meeting hall.

In the spacious hall, the people have already arrived at this time. Sun Ling sat on the top, looking at the civil and military forces below who belonged to his account, and was very excited when he thought of the upcoming moment.

According to intelligence, now Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and others are recruiting soldiers and horses in Chenliu, and more princes will go to the alliance. What do you think about this crusade against Dong Zhuo? Are we going, or are we not going?! Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sun Ling spoke.

"Since the lord has already made up his mind in his heart, why should he ask me and wait." Pulling out the wine stopper, Guo Jia poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and looked at Sun Lingdao with a smile.

Seeing Guo Jia dismantling his platform again, looking at the smiling face, Sun Ling finally resisted the urge to kick him. After all, Guo Jia's body can't compare to Dian Wei and them, and if he kicks him away because he is too ruthless, it will be too late to cry.

"Don't talk to me hippie smiley, I can't ask you if I have an idea in my heart? If you talk more, I'll ask Xu Lu to deduct your wine money and see if you can laugh. "I can't beat and can't fight, if I scold, according to Guo Jian's cheekiness, he is completely immune, but Sun Ling has no choice but to come up with a killer weapon.

"Well...... Jia believes that this matter should indeed be discussed. Zhicai, what about the lord asking you, why don't you hurry up and talk about it? When Guo Jia heard that he was going to deduct his wine money, the smile on his face immediately stopped, and he looked at Xi Zhicai with a straight face and said.

Seeing that Guo Jia's face changed faster than turning a book, Xi Zhicai had nothing to say about this bad friend. However, he did have something to say about what Sun Ling asked. straightened his expression and said: "Lord, Zhicai thinks that this time the matter of cutting Dong is going to the lord!" But you don't need to bring too many soldiers and horses, you just need to deal with it. ”

"Oh? If you are going, why don't you bring too many soldiers and horses? Zhicai will talk to us, how?!" Seeing Xi Zhicai say this, Sun Ling smiled knowingly and said.

Sure enough, he deserves to be a top strategist, and he only learned about the development of this matter by relying on historical records, and Xi Zhicai saw the essence of this Dong Alliance clearly through his extraordinary talents.

"The lord is going because of the lord's identity. Although the influence of the Han family is now getting weaker and weaker, if the lord does not go, he will inevitably be criticized. So this crusade against Dong Zhuo, the lord has to go.

As for why he didn't bring too many soldiers and horses, it was because although this alliance against Dong Zhuo was in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo, it was actually going to their own interests, as long as it touched the issue of interests, this seemingly powerful alliance would disintegrate in an instant. If the lord brings too many people and horses, he will be used by them to seek benefits because of his strong strength, so he will go this time, but he does not need to bring too many soldiers and horses. After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he arched his hand to Sun Ling and sat back.

When Xi Zhicai said these words, Guo Jia below was still pouring wine into his mouth one by one, while Xu Shu, Xun You and others nodded in agreement from time to time.

"What Fang Cai Zhicai said, you have also heard. That's what I mean! This time, I will bring 2,000 soldiers of the Badao Battalion, as well as some captains, to accompany me to the Chenliu Alliance. As for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, it is just a formality. I have summoned you here to choose those who will go with me, and I have other things for you to do. After waiting for a while, seeing that no one came out to oppose Xi Zhicai's words, Sun Ling spoke.

Just a formality? Others didn't hear the meaning of Sun Ling's words, but Guo Jia did. Why is the lord so sure that this time the Dong Alliance will be in vain? Thinking of Sun Ling's previous predictions, they have now come true. Guo Jia put down the wine gourd in his hand and looked at Sun Ling carefully, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Guo Jia's abnormal Sun Ling didn't notice it, and seeing that no one spoke, he continued to speak: "This time, in addition to the captain and the two thousand soldiers of the Badao Battalion, Dian Wei, Zilong, Fengxiao, Gongda, and Zhicai, the five of you will also go with me."

Yuan Chang and Yuan Zhi went to Xuzhou to help Wen Ruo, while Changwen continued to stay in Yuzhou to cooperate with Lu Lao. Gongming, your work is the heaviest, and now the war horses transported by Gongsun Zhan are enough to equip the entire Badao Battalion, I want you to thoroughly implement the cavalry training of the Badao Battalion before I come back, can you do it? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, now that there are two instructors in the Badao Battalion, Yang Goudan and Zhang Mancheng cooperating, there will be no problem with cavalry training!" Xu Huang saw that Sun Ling attached so much importance to this matter, and reassured.

After getting Xu Huang's affirmation, Sun Ling glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally put his eyes on Zhang Yan's body. All of them have their own things to do, and now there is only one who has not been assigned, Zhang Yan is left, and now he has to let him do an important thing to pave the way for his future plans.

"Sihan, except for the shadow guards in Luoyang City, the intelligence work in other places can be released first. Now we will start to shift the focus of intelligence to Qingzhou, and after we come back, the first thing we have to do is to take Qingzhou! Everyone is ready for this. Tapping his fingers on the table, Sun Ling thought for a moment before speaking.

"Lord, now with the strength of the Badao Battalion and those garrisons, Yuzhou is guarded, Xuzhou is just enough, why are you in a hurry to take Qingzhou?" Zhong Xuan, as a person who takes care of internal affairs, was worried about taking Qingzhou but couldn't take care of the existing two states, so he hurriedly asked.

Seeing Zhong Xuan ask out loud, Sun Ling did not answer immediately, but looked back and forth among several military advisors, except for Guo Jia, who was still drinking, the rest of them all looked thoughtful, as if they had guessed their intentions.

"Fengxiao, since Yuan Chang is puzzled, you can explain this matter for me!" Sun Ling said to Guo Jia, who was pouring wine into his mouth.

At this time, Guo Jia was pouring a sip of wine into his mouth, and was savoring the mellow aroma of the wine. After hearing Sun Ling's words, the wine that had not yet been swallowed squirted out of his mouth in an instant, drenching the drama next to him.

Smiled apologetically at Xi Zhicai, who was drenched by himself, Guo Jia looked at Sun Ling with an innocent face and said, "Lord, several of them know the reason for this matter, why do they want Jia to explain?" ”

"Because while everybody is on the table, you're drinking. This upsets me, so that's why I'm asking you to answer. How's that, is this reason satisfying? Glancing at Guo Jia, who was pretending to be innocent, Sun Ling said with an unkind face.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied!" Guo Jia saw that Sun Ling's face was not good, where did he dare to object? If you say you're not satisfied, then there's no more alcohol to drink.

After figuring this out, Guo Jia finally succumbed to Sun Ling's prestige, and said to Zhong Xuan: "Yuan Chang, there is a reason why the lord wants to take Qingzhou. First, if Qingzhou is taken, it will be conducive to taking Yanzhou in the future. Second, Qingzhou has a large population, and if it is won, it can supplement the labor problem of the two states. Third, and most importantly, there are many yellow turban thieves left in Qingzhou, and if left unchecked, it is likely to endanger the safety of Xuzhou. On the contrary, if we can take these Yellow Turban thieves for our own use, we will not only be able to have enough troops to defend the three states, but also be able to take Yanzhou by chance. ”

"I see, but I'm not thinking about it, please don't blame the lord!" After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Zhong Xuan suddenly realized and said to Sun Ling ashamedly.

As the saying goes: not in his position, not in his politics. Yuan Chang's responsibility is to care about the people's livelihood and political affairs of the two states. Yuan Chang can take these into account and prove that you are loyal to your duties, I will only feel gratified, how can I blame you? Seeing Zhong Xuan's performance like this, Sun Ling replied with a smile.

In this way, everything has finally been explained, and the matter of seeking Qingzhou has also entered a state of preparation. is waiting for Sun Ling to return from this trip to Luoyang, and then it will be the time for the real princes to rise together.
