Regarding Hua Xiong's judgment, everyone under his account complimented him, and the generals on the left and right also laughed, echoing Hua Xiong and said: "Wen thief, Sun thief, Yuan thief, shallow wisdom and ugly knowledge, where can there be a wise Xiangguo?" ”

While he was talking, someone from outside hurried in. Hua Xiong looked at it and saw that it was the literature and history of his army, so he asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

The scribe panicked and said, "Has the governor heard?" Wang Kuang killed Hu Wuban, Wu Xiu, Wang Gui and others! "These three people were sent by Dong Zhuo to Hanoi to persuade them to surrender, and they are all famous people at the moment.

Hua Xiong was slightly surprised: "Killed? ”

The scribe said, "Exactly! I heard that it was ordered by Yuan Shao. ”

Hua Xiong said: "This must be because Hu Wuban and others failed to persuade them to surrender, so they were killed." …… This Wang Kuang can really do it, Wu Xiu and Wang Gui are just a few of them, that Hu Wuban is his brother-in-law, and he even said that he would kill him. Heran said, "Prince's Day is really a loyal dog of Yuan Benchu!" He has never been very interested in scholars like Hu Wuban, and when he heard the news, he casually made a comment, so he stopped taking it seriously and said, "Xiangguo has already been deployed in Henan, and since Wang Gongjie refuses to surrender, then he will wait for death." …… Gentlemen, the soldiers are fast, take advantage of the time when the thieves of this article, Sun, and Yuan are plotted, and we will wait for the soldiers to send to the father's city! ”

And at this time, in the city of Luyang.

Although Yuan Shu was arrogant, he also knew that Dong Zhuo was a soldier, and Cao Cao was one of the few people in Yuan Shao's party who had experienced war and had military merits, although Cao Cao's military exploits were more "gilded", but they were also military merits, but in the last battle with Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, Cao Cao was almost wiped out and only fled, and it was rumored that Cao Cao died in battle. Yuan Shu also "gloated" and sent people to Luoyang to send a letter to Cao Cao's little wife Bian who stayed in Luoyang, although it turned out that this was just a rumor, Cao Cao did not die in battle, but it can also be seen that Dong Zhuo's soldiers are good at fighting, compared with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the children of the nobles, and the Qingliu of the scholars. The two sides are fundamentally incomparable in terms of military capabilities, so after knowing that Hu Zhen's troops rode out of the pass and southward with 5,000 steps, as if they wanted to attack Lu Yang, he seemed to have victory on the surface, but in fact he was very apprehensive, otherwise he would not have agreed to make a contract with Wen Chou and Sun Jian to help each other.

From the day he learned that Hu Zhenbu continued to go south and arrived in Liang County, one of the things he had to do every day was to inquire about the movements of this Dong army. Ask more than once a day. Most of the time, I can ask more than a dozen times a day, when I open my eyes in the morning, the first thing is to ask this, before going to bed at night, the last thing is to ask this, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and I don't forget to call people in. Cloak asked.

The envoy sent to Yang Zhai walked for two days, this day. Yuan Shu received a military report. "General Yu, Dong Jun passed Liang County and went east along Rushui."

Yuan Shuhu said suspiciously: "......, went along Rushui East?" ”

Tanma confirmed, "Yes." ”

Luyang is in the northeast of Liang County, and after this Dong army passed through Liang County, it went east. What does that mean? Yuan Shu's mind turned sharply, and he ordered: "Summoning the future." ”

Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Shu, Chen Lan, Yang Hong, Huang Yi and other civil and military vassals, as well as Yuan Shu's younger brother Yuan Yin, soon arrived.

Yuan Shu said: "The military report I just received said that Hu Zhen's troops rode through Liang County in 5,000 steps and went east along Rushui. ”

The generals will hear it. They were all stunned.

Yuan Shu asked, "What do you think they mean by this?" ”

Yang Hong said: "If you come to attack my Luyang, you shouldn't go east along Rushui." Go east along Rushui, that is Jiaxian, the father city. ”

Huang Yi said: "Could it be that the person Hu Zhenbu wants to attack this time is not me Luyang, but actually Yingchuan?" The generals looked at each other.

Everyone mustered up their strength to fight a battle with Dong Jun in Luyang, but Dong Jun went to Yingchuan to see that the posture was to attack Jiaxian or Father City.

Zhang Xunhu said suspiciously: "Looking at Dong Jun's various postures before, it is clear that he is coming to attack my Luyang, but why did he turn his face and go to Yingchuan?" Could it be that this is, this is ......, and the sound is striking the west? ”

Yuan Shu said: "It doesn't matter if he is attacking the east and the west, now that he is going east along the Rushui River, what do you think our army should do is the best?" ”

Zhang Xun said: "The general made a contract with Wenwumeng and Sun Hou, if Dong Jun attacked me, Wenwu Meng and Sun Hou sent troops to help, and if Dong Jun attacked Yingchuan, the general sent troops to help." Since Dong Jun seems to be going to attack his father city or Jiaxian, in the opinion of the last general, at the moment, our army should immediately send another envoy to Yangzhai to discuss the joint military affairs with Wen Wumeng and Sun Jian. ”

Yuan Shu heard him say this, glanced at him, noncommittal, turned to look at Qiao Rui and the others, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qiao Rui knew Yuan Shu's thoughts, Yuan Shu hated Wen Chou and Sun Jian for a long time, if Dong Jun really went to attack Yingchuan, how could he send troops to help? Therefore, he objected to Zhang Xun's opinion and said: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the two armies of Wenwu Meng and Sun Hou, how can 5,000 Dong troops be enough? In the opinion of the last general, the general did not need to send troops to help. ”

Zhang Xun frowned and said: "But the general has an appointment with Wen Wumeng and Sun Hou ....... ”

Qiao Rui interrupted him and said, "This time, that time." ”

Zhang Xun's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said: "However, the general just sent an envoy to Yangzhai two days ago, and discussed with Wen Wumeng and Sun Hou that the two of them sent troops to help me in Luyang. ”

Qiao Rui said: "The word 'power change', doesn't Zhang Jun hear it? A gentleman should know the power and change, how can he not be stubborn? ”

Zhang Xun wanted to say more, but Qiao Rui didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "A few days ago, news came from Luoyang, saying that Dong Zhuo had worshiped Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou, and I know about it. Once Liu Biao arrives in Jingzhou, it will definitely be detrimental to the general's plans. Now Dong Zhuo seems to have no intention of attacking me, which is a good thing, the general can free up his hands and take advantage of Liu Biao's not yet arrival to make plans first, thinking that he can control Jingzhou in the future. Zhang Jun, let me ask you, do you think this matter is important, or is it important to help Wen Wumeng and Sun Hou? "This is what they say, they are seeking to take Jingzhou.

Zhang Xun replied: "This matter is very important. ”

Qiao Rui smiled: "That's not it." ”

Zhang Xun had no choice but to say no more. Yuan Shu spoke at this time, he first looked around at the generals, and then said slowly: "What do you think Qiao Qing said?" ”

Everyone said: "What Captain Qiao said is very true, and it is right. ”

Yuan Shu said: "Okay, then let's act according to Qiao Qing's proposal." ”
