At this time, Liu Ze was summoning Jia Xu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai, Chen Dao, Pan Feng and others to discuss the military situation.

"Big brother just doesn't listen to me, if I had been cut down by the surnamed Dong with a knife, how could I do it today?" Zhang Fei is still angry about what Liu Ze stopped him back then.

"The third brother said lightly, Dong Zhuo was a general of Beizhong Lang back then, an official of the court, it would be happy for you to kill him with a knife, but what are the consequences?" Liu Ze glanced at him, and it would be a lot of trouble for Liu Ze to deal with a whipping superintendent, not to mention that Dong Zhuo was still the commander of the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, wouldn't killing him cause a big lawsuit.

It's not that Zhang Fei doesn't know this truth, it's just that he is used to being straightforward, and he can't help muttering a few words when he hears the words, but he doesn't speak again.

Liu Ze said: "Summoning everyone here today is to discuss the matter of sending troops to fight against Dong Zhuo. Wenhe, you are from Liangzhou, you should know something about Xiliangbing, tell me what you think? ”

Jia Xu replied: "Liangzhou borders with the Xiongnu, Qiang, Di and other foreign races, and the Western Liang soldiers often fight with these foreign races, and they are much braver than the county soldiers in the interior, and Liangzhou is a place where horses are produced, and the cavalry in the Western Liang soldiers occupies a considerable proportion, brave and good at fighting, and good at riding and shooting, and it is difficult for the county soldiers in the interior to match it." However, the discipline of the Xiliang soldiers is sloppy, and if they win, they will be high-spirited, and if they lose, they will be scattered in a hurry. ”

"That Wenhe thinks that with the current strength of the plain, what is the chance of winning against the Xiliang soldiers?"

"In my opinion, it is less than 20%."

Zhang Feiwu was unconvinced, and shouted: "Why does Mr. Wenhe grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? I don't think it's good to see that Dong Zhuo leading his troops to fight. When he beat the Yellow Turban a few years ago, didn't he let the Yellow Turban soldiers beat him to the point of urine? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "The third master doesn't know, this Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang and is good at cavalry warfare, let him command the five schools of the Northern Army, how can he be undefeated?" ”

"No matter how powerful the Xiliang cavalry is, how can the Kwantung princes say that there are hundreds of thousands of horses, can't they beat him?" Zhang Fei was still unconvinced.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Yes, there are a lot of Kwantung princes, but who can guarantee that they are all of the same heart?" If you can be all of you. Sworn thief. No matter how many Xiliang soldiers there are, they are fearless. But these dozen princes, each with their own small abacus, each with their own account, I am afraid that they may not be able to do their best. So centrifugal and detached. No matter how many people there are, it will be in vain. ”

Liu Ze's heart suddenly broke down. Jia Xu's gaze was indeed poisonous, and he saw through the essence of the Kwantung princes at a glance, and the facts were completely consistent with what he expected. "How does Wenhe think we should fight against the Xiliang soldiers?"

"Ride on horseback!" Jia Xu looked determined. said calmly, "Dong Zhuo has been even more powerful since he annexed the subordinates of Ding Yuan and conquered Lu Bu. Since ancient times, there have been many strong brigades, and in terms of the ability of individual soldiers, only Danyang soldiers can compete with them. Most of the soldiers of the plain county of the lord are newly recruited, although they have a remarkable record in the battle against the Yellow Turban, but if they really want to fight with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is difficult to win. The only way to do this is to call on the cavalry of Mangdang Mountain to have the ability to fight with the Xiliang cavalry. ”

Liu Ze's archers are strong in military appearance, well-trained, and skillful and tacit cooperation is the magic weapon of this team to defeat the enemy. Liu Ze nodded, Jia Xu's idea of riding coincided with him.

"It's also time for Zilong's sword to be unsheathed!" Liu Ze turned around and ordered, "Ziyi, you quickly fly the pigeon to send a message to Mangdang Mountain, and order Zilong to lead 2,500 archers to the plain immediately." At the same time, he ordered Zilong to bring me, Yide, and Yunchang's mounts, and ten other high-quality sweaty horses. ”

This time to discuss Dong Zhuo, Liu Ze prepared the most elite force, without the covetousness of those eunuchs in the court, the sweaty BMW can also have a day of galloping on the battlefield. Lu Bu has a red rabbit horse, how can Liu Ze let him be beautiful? As for whether he is afraid of the coveting of other princes, Liu Ze is not afraid, if anyone dares to snatch the sweat and blood horses from him, then he has to ask his three thousand archers if they agree.

Zhang Fei's face was excited, and Liu Ze finally agreed to bring Kick Xue Wuqi over, which was what he had always dreamed of.

"No." Pan Feng immediately received the order and went down to make arrangements.

At this time, Xiao Wolf, the commander of the Jinying Guard Action Group, came to report: "Lord Qi, Lin Hai has left Pingyuan City with his family and went to Donglai's hometown. Lin Hai brought hundreds of people and more than 10 carts on this trip, and the goods carried were all gold and silver. ”

"This dog corrupt official, he has looted so much people's fat and people's ointment, and just let him go, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?" Zhang Fei was the first to shout.

Liu Ze waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, Lin Hai is also a person who understands current affairs, for the sake of him taking the initiative to give the national minister's seal, those corrupt things don't need to be investigated." ”

"Big brother, isn't this your style?" Zhang Fei's big eyes widened.

"Although Lin Hai is a treacherous person, he has not had any holiday with us in the past two years, so let him go. Xiao Wolf, you send a team of people to escort it secretly, the road is not smooth, I hope he will not make a mistake. Looking at the feelings of his colleagues in the past, Liu Ze did not embarrass Lin Hai anymore, but sent someone to protect him secretly, which also fully reflects Liu Ze's elegance.

In the afternoon of the third day, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to Pingyuan City. First, it was all cavalry, and the speed was extremely fast, and secondly, Zhao Yun was depressed in Mangdang Mountain for a long time, and finally received the order of the lord, and he hurried over with a whip and starry night.

Liu Ze saw that Zhao Yun's armor was covered with thick dust, but his eyes were bright, much stronger than when he first met, with tiger arms and bee waist, and powerful force.

"Zhao Yun has seen the lord!" As soon as Zhao Yun saw Liu Ze, he bowed down.

"Is Zilong complaining that I didn't let you out when I broke the yellow scarf?" Liu Ze quipped.

"How dare Yun complain about the lord, the lord has his own reason for arranging it like this, and Yun obeys the order."

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "This time, Zilong came over, because there was urgent military affairs. Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and the princes of Kwantung raised troops one after another, and I couldn't lag behind people in the plain. Is it the most elite cavalry in Mangdang Mountain that was brought this time? ”

"Exactly. According to the order of the lord, the 2,500 archers brought by Yun this time were all the most elite cavalry in Mangdang Mountain. In addition, the mounts of the lord, the second master, and the third master, as well as the ten high-grade sweat and blood horses that the lord wanted, were all brought over. ”

Zhang Fei screamed excitedly when he heard this, and he didn't bother to say hello to Zhao Yun and ran out to find his kicking snow clutch.

Liu Ze ordered someone to send Jia Xu, Guan Hai, Pan Feng, Chen Dao, Wu Anguo, Zhou Cang, Fang Yue, Mu Shun, Yu She, and Yu Poison each a sweaty horse as a mount. Since Liu Ze served as a lieutenant, Yu Poison was also appointed as a military marquis, but he didn't dare to call Yu Poison anymore and changed his name to Yu Jin.

Liu Ze inquired in detail about the situation in Mangdang Mountain, and Zhao Yun told them one by one. In the past few years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhao Yun recruited displaced people under the instruction of Liu Ze, and the total population of Mangdang Mountain has reached 100,000. According to Liu Ze's requirements, the selection of homeless people is also extremely strict, except for those who are physically strong and can be conscripted into the army, other homeless people are required to have a skill, or can read and write words, or can play iron and wood, so the overall quality of these homeless people is still good. The total strength of Mangdang Mountain has also expanded from more than 5,000 people to more than 20,000 people, under the strict supervision of Zhao Yun, training day and night, this team is far from the bandits and bandits of the year, and even the regular army of the court is not far behind.

Just a few days ago, Liu Ze sent a letter to Cao Cao, which naturally praised Cao Cao's righteous deeds, and at the same time Liu Ze expressed his willingness to respond to Cao Cao's letter with the soldiers of the Plains County and the national thief Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao quickly replied, and now that he had led his army to Suojube, he asked Liu Zehuo to lead his troops to Suojube to meet with the princes of all walks of life. It can be seen that this reply letter is written by Cao Cao himself, and the words are passionate and sincere.

Without further ado, Liu Ze decided to leave immediately. The list of expeditions this time is as follows: Liu Ze, the acting minister of the Plains State and the commander of the capital, is the commander, Guan Yu is the leader of the left army, Zhang Fei is the leader of the right army, Zhao Yun is the vanguard of the front army, Guan Hai is the commander of the rear army, and Jia Xu is the staff officer of the marching army and sits in the middle army. The main battle force is all archers, in addition to Liu Ze's original 500 archers, the 2,500 archers brought by Zhao Yun this time are also included in the expedition sequence. In addition to the 3,000 archers who served as combat missions, Liu Ze also arranged a baggage battalion of nearly 1,000 people to be responsible for the logistics of the supply of grain and grass for the entire team. Pan Feng and Wu Anguo went out with the army.

Chen Zhi stayed in the plains and was responsible for the defense of the entire plain country. Although the Yellow Turban forces have been greatly suppressed, they are not willing to withdraw from the stage of history, and there is always the possibility of a comeback. On the border of the Plains Country, the garrison of the county country did not relax its vigilance at any time, especially after the main army went on the expedition, Liu Ze raised the alert level of the garrison by a level, strictly guarding against it, and putting an end to hidden dangers.

The city of the plain is also full of dangers, and the warriors who have been hit hard in the inventory of the acres are ready to move, whether these forces will suddenly attack after Liu Ze leads the main force to leave the plain, Liu Ze has no bottom in his heart. Liu Ze's order to Chen Zhi was to suppress all the forces that dared to rebel and riot, and there would be no mercy!

As for the government affairs of the plains, Lu Yu presided over it, and Liu Ze was very relieved. Spring plowing and spring sowing are imminent, and if you miss the agricultural time, there will be a famine. The momentum of agricultural production in the plains in the past two years has been very good, and Liu Ze hopes that this momentum can be maintained this year, and grain production will not be reduced because of the war.

After bidding farewell to Lu Zhi and admonishing Jian Yong, Liu Ze led the army to march towards the sour jujube.

Jujube is a small county town in Chenliu County, Yanzhou, on the south bank of the Yellow River, bordering Sili, 800 miles away from Luoyang in the west and 600 miles away from Dongjun in the east. This lonely and nameless small city is destined to leave its name in the history of the late Han Dynasty, and the turbulent Kwantung Princes' Discussion Conference will be held here.
