After Zhang Ji listened to Dong Shouye's words, he praised: "The son is familiar with the scriptures and history, and can apply what he has learned, he is really a model for my generation." In addition, the use of soldiers has the style of Zhou Yafu, and he is really a god! ”

Dong Shouye was secretly happy in his heart, smiled, but said in his mouth: "De Rong, we are all our own people, so there is no need to brag about it here, don't boast, let's get down to business!" ”

Zhang Ji's face immediately turned straight, and he said again: "Then now that the southern shape is deteriorating, I don't know how Gongzi is going to deal with it?" ”

Dong Shouye said: "At this time, I am afraid it will be too late to ask Chang'an for reinforcements, and Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang have an ambiguous attitude, and they still need to be heavily defended, and at the moment, my father may not be able to draw too many troops from Chang'an." It's better to rely on yourself, and it's not like I don't have no chance of winning. ”

Zhang Ji asked again: "Childe, did the troops around Luoyang participate in the war?" ”

Dong Shouye replied: "At this time, General Niu Fu in Hedong cannot cross the river to participate in the war, and it must not be mobilized without authorization, and it must rely on General Niu Fu to stabilize the north of the Yellow River and hold the northern gateway. If it is unfavorable for us to march, we will definitely have to withdraw our troops from Hangu Pass, but we will have to rely on them to cover us. However, other troops, such as General Xu Rong's headquarters, Hu Zhen's headquarters, Lu Bu's general headquarters, and Zhu Jun's headquarters, could choose one or two of them to participate in the battle. ”

Du Ji asked, "I wonder which team Gongzi wants to choose to fight?" ”

Dong Shouye thought for a while and said, "When I came from Xincheng, I had already discussed with Jia Junshi, and I had already sent someone to send a secret letter to Niu Fu and Dong Yue, the two generals. Let General Niu Fu increase his troops to Keiguan, make an offensive posture, and put pressure on Wang Kuang, the Hanoi Taishou of Heyangjin, on the north bank of the Yellow River, so that he would not dare to cross the river lightly; Let General Dong Yue increase his troops in Hangu Pass to strengthen the momentum of our army, and also ensure the rear road of our army. As for the other horses, General Xu Rong of the Tunbing Yanshi has a very good personal relationship with me, and it should not be difficult to ask him for help, General Hu Zhen of the Tunbing Yangcheng is on the front line, if he does not join our army, it is estimated that he will definitely die, and he will definitely be eaten by Sun Jian's army first. Therefore, there should be no problem in getting these two into the war. ”

Du Ji thought for a while, and then asked: "I don't know if before Gongzi came, the military advisor mentioned General Lu Bulu, and I heard that this person is now guarding the pass in Xiaopingjin." Didn't this General Lu be sent to Yangcheng to support General Hu Zhen before, why did he go north to Xiaopingjin again? ”

Dong Shouye is more familiar with this matter, and his father Dong Zhuo once told him that at that time, because Sun Jian's men and horses had just recovered, their combat strength was average, although there was a threat, but the threat was not yet to the point of danger.

At that time, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, showed an offensive posture and threatened the north side of Luoyang, and there was no strong general near Xiaopingjin in the pass on the north side of Luoyang, so Dong Zhuo let his son Lu Bu go north and enter Xiaopingjin, preparing to let him cross the river with Wang Kuang's army in one fell swoop, and made a great contribution.

At that time, Lu Bu felt that this credit was not small, and his father-in-law promoted himself so much that he agreed without hesitation.

Dong Shouye sorted out his thoughts and said: "General Lu was originally sent by my father to Yangcheng to support General Hu Zhen, and later the shape of the north side of Luoyang changed, and Hanoi guarded Wang Kuangtun's soldiers in Yangjin and wanted to cross the river, so my father sent General Lu to guard Xiaopingjin to see if Wang Kuang could cross the river and attack halfway. ”

At this time, Yang Feng, who had not interjected, said loudly: "Childe, when the last general was moving in Hedong and Bingzhou before, I heard that Lu Bu was a person with unparalleled combat strength, and he was known as a flying general. This time, our army encountered a strong enemy, can we let this person participate in the battle, I heard that this person commands a strange soldier is a must. Moreover, at this time, General Niu Fu had already increased his troops at Keiguan, and Wang Kuang was worried that the back road would be cut off, so he would not dare to cross the river. ”

Du Ji's heart tightened, and he hurriedly retorted: "Childe, it is absolutely impossible at this time. Although General Lu is a strong helper, the courage of the world is not to be said. But this man is arrogant and difficult to control. The most taboo on the battlefield is not obeying orders. Although this person is the son's brother-in-law, he is not the prime minister's descendant after all. Moreover, this time Gongzi is an independent commander of the troops to fight, leading the war around Luoyang, his people are older than Gongzi, I am afraid that they will despise Gongzi and disobey Gongzi's orders, so it is not good for Gongzi, if he relies on super force, anti-guest-oriented, Gongzi will not let the Prime Minister down. Therefore, although the tiger is powerful, it has the worry of hurting people, please think about it. ”

In fact, Dong Shouye himself wanted Lu Bu to participate in the war, after all, "Lu Bu among the people, the red rabbit among the horses", this sentence is not an empty word, but a real one, and it is recognized by the people of the world.

However, I also know that Lu Bu is a double-edged sword, and the current Dong Shouye may not be able to control it, so it is difficult to make a decision for a while, and he has not specifically discussed the problem of Lu Bu with Jia Xu before he came, but from the analysis of Jia Xu's character, he neither approves nor opposes, it is estimated that it implies opposition, after all, the relationship between Dong Shouye's father and son and Lu Bu is also relatively special, judging from Jia Xu's character of liking self-preservation, he is definitely unwilling to do something suspected of provoking the relationship between other people's fathers and sons. And Lu Bu is indeed a sharp blade, so he simply sipped it three times and did not express any opinions, after all, the situation has not yet reached the point of being out of control.

Now that Yang Feng has built Dong Shouye to use Lu Bu out of strategic considerations, it is equivalent to picking out a state of default before, making things public, and putting them on the table. Although Yang Feng was unintentional, there were people who opposed the current situation, which made Dong Shouye have to make up his mind.

Dong Shouye thought about it again and again, and decided to give up using Lu Bu, after all, this guy is also a self-aware person, and he knows that he will definitely not be able to control Lu Bu 100% in all aspects. Instead of putting such a time bomb around, it is better not to use it at all.

However, the superficial article still has to be done, and you can't pull down Lu Bu in front of everyone, and lose the face of the handsome guy Lu, so he said: "Now Wang Kuang of Hanoi threatens the north of Luoyang, and he can cross the river at any time. ”

Zhang Ji, Du Ji and others were relieved to hear that Dong Shouye had decided not to use Lu Bu.

Although the tiger is brave, ordinary people can't control it. Dong Shouye is currently consciously unable to control it. The lord is weak and the minister is strong, and it is easy to be turned against the guest!
