Luoyang, Dong Zhuo, all the people in the hall are Dong Zhuo's henchmen, Dong Zhuo looked at Hu Zhen and others who rushed back from the dust, grinning with fat on his face, at this time, a commander of the Xiliang cavalry who was going with Lu Bu told Lu Bu and Zhang Liao about the battle between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao against the Kanto Sanying. Dong Zhuo laughed: "Feng Xian is really unparalleled in the world, haha, this piece of Wenyuan is not bad." After speaking, he turned back to Li Ru and instructed to choose the opportunity to reuse this Zhang Liao, Dong Zhuo has the meaning of meritocracy, no matter what kind of scholar you are, only loyal and talented, Dong Zhuo usually mentions. After saying Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo turned his eyes to look at Hu Zhen, this time Hu Zhen's plan was very successful, if Li Meng hadn't given up Chen Lin without authorization, so that Chen Lin came back to save Sun Jian, maybe Sun Jian would have died now, if it weren't for Li Meng and Lu Bu who made a fuss with the new allied army camp again, it would be considered a merit, Dong Zhuo would have taken Li Meng down long ago. Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with the old Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, and at the same time, Lu Bu's bravery also made Dong Zhuo happy, and now there is another Zhang Liao, so Dong Zhuo can't help but be unhappy.

Dong Zhuo's constant praise for others made Hua Xiong, the former number one military general in the northwest, very unhappy, Hua Xiong couldn't help glaring at Lu Bu fiercely, Dong Zhuo could think of Hua Xiong first every time before Lu Bu came, but now Lu Bu is at every turn, Hua Xiong's heart is unbalanced. Fortunately, there have been more and more people in Luoyang who are unscrupulous with Dong Zhuo recently, Dong Zhuo is afraid of death, and he will not let Lu Bu leave him easily, otherwise Lu Bu's limelight would have overshadowed everyone.

After bidding farewell to Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong slowly wanted to return to the mansion, after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he forcibly seized many mansions in Luoyang, and rewarded his subordinates one by one, I have to say that Dong Zhuo is still very good to his subordinates. At this time, Hua Xiong heard a shout and stopped himself, Hua Xiong looked back, the Great Han Shi clan is empty Yang Biao, this Yang Biao is another Dashi clan in the Han Dynasty in addition to the Yuan family. But Yang Biao is not like Yuan, Yang Biao has come together with Dong Zhuo since the moment Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and he has squeezed out political enemies everywhere, so he has won Dong Zhuo's trust. After all, in order to stabilize Luoyang, Dong Zhuo needs to win over a group of nobles, and Yang Biao is one of them. Hua Xiong couldn't think of what Yang Biao was looking for him to do, but Yang Biao was a rare fame, and Hua Xiong couldn't afford not to pay attention to it, so he hurriedly welcomed Yang Biao into the mansion. For an hour, what Hua Xiong said to Yang Biao, no one outside knew, only that when Yang Biao left Washington, Hua Xiong personally sent it out, with a happy face. As soon as Yang Biao was sent away, Dong Zhuo sent someone to call Hua Xiong, saying that it was a great change in the Kanto region, Hua Xiong scolded secretly, and rushed to Dong Zhuo again.

At this time, Li Ruzheng sent a letter back to Dong Zhuonian Bishui Pass: "The Kwantung rebel army has marched in a big way, and now the three counties of Xingyang, Zhongmu and Chenggao have been occupied by the enemy, and in addition, about 150,000 troops are rushing towards Bishui Pass. As soon as Li Ru finished reading, the generals gasped, 150,000, and there are only 40,000 or 50,000 horses in Bishui Pass now. Dong Zhuo kept tapping his fingers on the desk, Li Ru and the others were silent, and after a while, Dong Zhuo spoke: "Wenyou, what's wrong with a certain one, why do these Kanto people just don't like a certain family." Dong Zhuo didn't talk about the military situation, but asked this, Li Ru was shocked, afraid that Dong Zhuo would retreat, wouldn't it be a pity to have a good situation. A room full of people were busy persuading the lord how to be good, but the Kwantung coalition army didn't know what to do. Dong Zhuo was furious and took the case: "In this case, Wencai, you should go back to guard the Bishui Pass as soon as possible, and be sure to keep the Kwantung Army out of the pass." Hu Zhen rose in response, and Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, you still need a fierce general to assist Wencai, there are many fierce generals in Kwantung, and our army can't lose them." ”

As soon as Li Ru finished speaking, Lu Bu stepped forward: "Lord, I want to go." Hua Xiong was in a hurry, and hurriedly came out of the column and shouted: "Wen Hou is the lord's guard, how can he leave lightly, the lord, the hero is willing to go." provoked Lu Bu to look at him angrily, and Hua Xiong was not afraid at all. Dong Zhuo saw the two fighting, looked at Li Ru, Li Ru thought to himself, no matter how powerful Lu Bu is, he is a native of Bingzhou after all, Hua Xiong is the only one who is truly loyal, it is better to let Hua Xiong make more contributions, so Li Ru said: "How can you use a knife to kill chickens, Wen Hou has already made the princes of the world tremble, it is better for General Hua to go." Hua Xiong couldn't hear what Li Ru meant, only heard Li Ru agree to go by himself, and grinned at Li Ru. When Lu Bu heard Li Ru say that he was a bull knife, he praised himself deeply, and he was also happy and proud in his heart, so he stopped fighting. Dong Zhuo laughed, immediately named the names of more than a dozen generals, and went to Bishui Pass with Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was overjoyed when he got the agreement, and then said, "Lord, Xiong still has something to say. ”

This time Dong Zhuo was surprised, what else did Hua Xiong want, I saw Hua Xiong say: "My lord, now our army has subdued tens of thousands of troops from the original defenders of Luoyang, and now our northwest army is mostly guarding in other places, if Luoyang is in turmoil, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the lord, if it is better to fight with the Kwantung this time, send some of the original defenders of Luoyang to go with it, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." After hearing this, Li Ru chuckled in his heart, when did Hua Xiong become so knowledgeable, and before Li Ru could figure it out, Dong Zhuo had already shouted: "Well, it makes sense, then you will choose 20,000 to go with you this time." So Hua Xiong happily went out to select soldiers and horses, thinking in his heart that Lord Sikong was still powerful, and this time he didn't need to look at Hu Wencai's face, he also had soldiers.

However, it was said that at this time, outside Bishui Pass, the Allied camp had moved from Sujube to the front of Bishui Pass, but Chen Lin and Sun Jian were not in this camp. It turned out that Chen Lin heard that Yuan Shao had entered the army that day, and after knowing the reason, Jia Xu quickly analyzed and concluded that Hu Zhen must have withdrawn from the army. So Chen Lin decisively ordered Chen Zewolf to gallop away first, and then Chen Lin hurriedly informed Sun Jian, hoping that Sun Jian could also speed up and occupy a city first. Sun Jian is not from Hanhu, and with Lou Gui by his side, after a discussion, Chen Lin and Sun Jian's total of 10,000 horses is much faster than Yuan Shao's leadership of more than 100,000 horses, and they rushed forward at an incredible speed of Yuan Shao and others.

When the army came to the outside of Zhongmu City, Sun Jian cautiously ordered the army to be cautious, and Sun Jian could not be allowed to be imprudent. But Chen Lin did not make such a move, because Chen Lin and Chen Ze agreed that if Chen Ze found that Dong Jun had not retreated in Zhongmu City, then he would immediately lead the wolf cavalry to turn back and join Chen Lin. Because Jia Xu said that Xingyang is close to Bishui Pass, and Xingyang can quickly respond to what happened in Bishui Pass. At this time, Chen Lin did not see Chen Ze, which means that Chen Ze has already led his troops to Xingyang, which means that there are indeed not many Dong troops in this Zhongmu City. Chen Lin looked back at Jia Xu, and was actually right by Jia Xu, Dong Jun really retreated.

Sun Jian was cautious, but Chen Lin swaggered over, and went directly to the city gate, Sun Jian was in a hurry, and was about to call Chen Lin, Lou Guiyi grabbed Sun Jian, and said with a smile: "Lord, look, the more than 1,000 cavalry in Chen Tai's defense army are there?" Chen Taishou entered the city so calmly, but he was afraid that Chen Taishou's cavalry had already come to Zhongmu City before. Sun Jian followed Lou Gui's hand, and when he saw it, he didn't see Chen Ze's wolf riding, Sun Jian scolded with a smile: "Bo Zhi is very ghostly, go, the army enters the city, find some food and weapons to supply, and order the army not to compete with the Hanzhong army." After speaking, the horse rushed over and was about to question Chen Lin.

There are really not a few Dong Jun in Zhongmu City, and Li Mengguo left a few old, weak, sick and disabled, and as soon as Chen Lin arrived, he obediently opened the door to greet him. Chen Lin remembered that Sun Jian was almost burned to death yesterday, gasped, and hurriedly ordered a sergeant to enter the city first. Sun Jian rushed over, originally joking with Chen Lin, but seeing Chen Lin like this, he asked, "Bozhi, why is this?" So Chen Lin said what Chen Ze had come to first, and said that it was better to be careful, wouldn't you see the fire yesterday, Sun Jian was also afraid, so he waited patiently. It took half an hour for Chen Lin and Sun Jian to order the army to enter the city, but yesterday in Zhongmu City, Hu Zhen had basically moved the people in the city away in order to burn Sun Jian, and Zhongmu City was quiet.

Jia Xu: "Lord, let's go, Zhongmu City is not worth our army's stay, the alliance leader's army is coming up, our army should go to Xingyang." Chen Lin was disappointed, originally thinking that he could get some grain and grass or something, but he couldn't think of it, alas. Chen Lin only left a few soldiers and horses to greet the alliance leader here, indicating that this city was captured by Chen Lin and Sun Jian, and left for the allies to take over, and most of the rest of the soldiers and horses went on the road together and headed for Xingyang. Unexpectedly, Lou Gui suggested to Sun Jian: "Lord, look at this scene, Dong Thief has indeed withdrawn his troops from Kanto, and this time to go to Chen Taishou to take Xingyang, if the lord and Chen Taishou split ways, wouldn't it be better for our army to take Chenggao." As soon as Sun Jian heard that it was reasonable, he came over to discuss with Chen Lin, Chen Lin also felt that it was good for Sun Jian to go to Chenggao, if there was anything good in Xingyang, there was no need to share it with Sun Jian, so Chen Lin divided his troops after leaving Zhongmu, one to the southwest to take Xingyang, and the other to the northwest to take Chenggao.

Xingyang is also not far from Zhongmu, and Chen Lin can arrive after a quick journey of more than an hour, but Chen Lin is much more careful at this time, and sends scouts again and again, and after learning that Chen Ze is already in front, Chen Lin boldly marches. Xingyang is just a county seat, a county under the jurisdiction of Henan, Chen Lin saw that Chen Ze did not come out to greet him, and asked, "What about your commander?" The wolf rider who stayed behind said: "Lord, the commander has taken eight hundred wolf riders to inspect the direction of Bishui Pass, and I will wait here to greet the lord and settle the people at the same time." ”

Chen Lin wondered: "Settle the people? The wolf rider said: "Yes, my lord, when my wolf rider arrived, many Dong Jun were still here to drive the people to Luoyang, and when they saw my wolf rider coming, Dong Jun hurriedly fled." When Chen Lin heard this, fortunately he came early, this Dong Zhuo is going to take away the people of the three counties, no wonder Zhongmu is lonely. Chen Lin hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in Xingyang now?" "Wolf horseman: "Lord, maybe our army came by coincidence, it is said that the Dong army has just evacuated, and my wolf horse arrived at the beginning of the people's migration, after scaring away the Dong thief, the people are there, and a lot of grain and grass escorted by the Dong army have been seized, and many people are from Zhongmu County." "Feelings, Dong Jun couldn't have imagined that Chen Lin would come so quickly. Fortunately, otherwise this is another empty city, so Chen Lin ordered Gao Shun to take over Xingyang, first unify the distribution of grain and grass, and put the people of Zhongmu City back, in short, let the people settle down.

Soon after, Yuan Shao came over, and the three counties were each occupied by Chen Lin and Sun Jian, Yuan Shao did not dare to attack the allies, so he waved his army and went directly to Bishui Pass, thinking that Chen Lin and Sun Jian would get the two counties so easily, and it should not be difficult to have a Bishui Pass. How is Yuan Shao in Bishui Pass, Chen Lin doesn't care, now let's deal with the affairs of the Han Zhongjun first, Chen Lin decided to recuperate here for at least three days.
