According to the old fox Jia Xu's thoughts, he wanted Dong Shouye to find the daughter of a great Confucian in the world as his wife, so as to win the popularity of Shilin people in the future, Dong Shouye also recognized this, the old fox really has a long-term vision, but this kind of thing is not something that you want others to cooperate.

Seeing that Sun Jian had already left, Dong Shouye imagined that Sun Jian's words of marriage did not come out of his mouth, the key was that Sun Jian had a black face when he left, and Dong Shouye didn't want to stimulate him too much, for fear of self-defeating. However, there will be opportunities in the future, and I believe that it will not be long before Sun Jian's suffering will come again.

Dong Shouye watched Sun Jian and his troops leave with a smile, and then asked Jia Xu: "Military advisor, have you ever sent a fine work?" ”

Next to him, Jia Xu took a few steps forward, approached Dong Shouye, and then arrived: "Returning to Gongzi, everything has been arranged." It is estimated that most of the current princes in the world already know that Sun Jian obtained the jade seal of the country in Luoyang. ”

It turned out that Dong Shouye had made a plan with Jia Xu before, and after Sun Jian led the army into Luoyang, he sent a detailed work to spread the news that the jade seal of the country was obtained by Sun Jian.

For this reason, he also specially sent Xizuo to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and other princes to take a walk. Sun Jian thought that he had done a very secret job of obtaining the jade seal of the country, but in fact, it had already been rumored and known to passers-by.

After dealing with Sun Jian's affairs, Dong Shouye waited for Li Meng's arrival in the same place, Dong Shouye had contacted Xu Rong to see if he could transfer Li Meng out, and arrange troops in Yangcheng in the future to maintain the Western Liang Army's military suppression of Nanyang and Yuzhou, at least let Nanyang and Yuzhou have a certain amount of pressure.

Xu Rong also agreed with and supported Dong Shouye's idea, so he replied to Dong Shouye without hesitation and agreed that Li Meng would bring his 5,000 men to join Dong Shouye.

Not long after Sun Jian left, Li Meng took 5,000 men and horses to Dong Shouye's camp.

After Dong Shouye arranged for Li Meng to camp, he summoned him to his side and said to him: "Captain Li, you have worked hard from afar. Some time ago, when fighting with Sun Jianjun, the weapon was damaged, and my son had arranged for the skilled craftsmen in Chang'an to rebuild the weapon for Captain Li, which could soon be transported to the vicinity of Luoyang. ”

Weapons are the second life of military generals, and the combat effectiveness of the martial arts who do not have a weapon in hand will be greatly reduced, as is the case with the historical (or romance) Dian Wei, after a pair of eighty pounds of iron halberds were stolen by Hu Che'er, there was no weapon in hand, and finally was besieged to death.

The current Li Meng has been using the standard spear in the army since the spear was broken, which is quite uncomfortable, so Dong Shouye is in a hurry to ask the blacksmith to recreate a weapon for Li Meng.

When Li Meng heard Dong Shouye's words, he couldn't help but be moved, but he didn't expect that his son had always remembered himself in his heart, and even the little thing about the damage of his weapon had always been in his heart, so he said: "Gongzi Xie cares, and the last general will definitely use the weapon given to the last general by his son in the future to work hard to kill the enemy for his son." ”

Dong Shouye smiled, and then said, "The reason why this prince transferred you from General Xu this time is to let you take over the defense of Yangcheng. Sun Jian has left now, I believe that he will rest in Yangcheng for a few days, and then you can send more details to the vicinity of Yangcheng to investigate, and after Sun Jian leaves Yangcheng, he will enter the city to receive the city.

If there are troops left in the city, then you will temporarily garrison the Yiyun Pass and the Dagu Pass, and then enter the city when the time is right. After entering Yangcheng, you must maintain a certain deterrent, but do not attack without authorization. If you attack, you must have a certain degree of certainty and try not to cause a big loss of troops. ”

Li Meng clasped his fists and saluted Dong Shouye, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, the last general will remember the teachings of Gongzi, and he will definitely guard Yangcheng." ”

Dong Shouye looked at Li Meng's excited appearance and said: "Guarding Yangcheng well is to defend Luoyang, and to protect General Xu's flank and rear, the task is heavy, and the matter is heavy, I believe that Captain Li will not disappoint this son." ”

This time, Dong Shouye arranged for Li Meng to guard Yangcheng, which was regarded as promoting him and giving him an important opportunity.

In the past, Li Meng was under Xu Rong's command as his general, and now Dong Shouye put him in Yangcheng, although the official position was not promoted, but it was to let him stand alone, and if he did a good job, it was natural for Dong Shouye to look down on him and trust him more, and his future career would be one step further.

In fact, there are ** people under Dong Shouye who are suitable for this important task, such as Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Dao, Hua Xiong, these people can be, and their abilities are definitely stronger than Li Meng, and even Hu Zhen, who is now temporarily under Dong Shouye, is more suitable than Li Meng.

But Dong Shouye thought about it again and again, and still chose Li Meng, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Dao, and Hua Xiong, of course, but now there are not many people available around Dong Shouye, and there are only a few henchmen, in case there is a need to use them a lot, so he can't leave.

As for Hu Zhen, he was originally a good candidate, although he was defeated and his foot soldiers were lost, but there were almost no losses in the cavalry, as long as Dong Shouye allocated some men and horses to him, he could still let his army recover and return to Yangcheng.

However, after his defeat, Dong Zhuo's order was to let Hu Zhen, the president, reinstate his life, and Dong Shouye could not disobey his father's order, so he could only give up Hu Zhen.

Finally, Dong Shouye now has a lot of people under his command, but the henchmen and generals are a little stretched, Dong Shouye has gotten along with Li Meng during this time, and he also recognizes his ability, and wants to train him to be a general who can take charge of himself.

For a period of time in the future, it should be a melee between the warlords of the world, and no one can take care of the Xiliang army, and at this time, there are almost no major battles near Luoyang, so you can take this opportunity to hone Li Meng, and you don't have to worry about what heavy losses it will cause.

After Dong Shouye dealt with the affairs of Luoyang, he consulted with Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and a cadre of generals in the army, and prepared to lead the army back to Chang'an.

What makes Dong Shouye more depressed is that his father Dong Zhuo has been addicted to Buddha since he was rejected by Sun Jian, and then he has been looking for a daughter-in-law for Dong Shouye, so that he can renew the incense for the Dong family as soon as possible.

At this time, marriage pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, but they will not tell you anything about free love, so even if Dong Shouye doesn't want to get married now, he doesn't dare to say it blatantly, even if he occasionally says "Why is the family the Huns not destroyed", Dong Zhuo blocked it on the grounds that the family was scarce.
