Thinking of this, Dong Shouye couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of fate, who would have thought that the two people who are so close now would turn against each other in the near future, attack each other, and never die. Dong Shouye said to himself in his heart: "I must do my best to change this qiē." ”

After dealing with Song Guo's affairs, Dong Shouye convened his generals to discuss the dispatch of troops.

Dong Shouye said to the generals under his command: "Everyone, right now, Sun Jian is about to lead the army to the north in the near future, and we shouldn't delay here for too long, what do you think." ”

Xu Rong was the first to speak up and said: "Childe, after the last general and Gongzi met here, they successfully incorporated the troops under Zhu Jun's command, and now that everything in Luoyang is over, it is indeed necessary to go south immediately and defeat Sun Jian." ”

Li Wei also followed and said: "Childe, I came to Luoyang to solve Zhu Jun's problem, now Zhu Jun has fled, it is difficult to become a threat, the matter of incorporation has also been completed, and all kinds of trivial matters have been prepared, and the preparations for the army to go south have been completed, as long as Gongzi gives an order, he can go south at any time." ”

Dong Shouye saw that no one under his command objected, so he said: "Since everyone has no opinion on sending troops, let's discuss the specific route of the army!" ”

Xu Rong said at this time: "The army is going south out of the pass, and the three passes in the south of Luoyang City are almost the same as the current position of our army, among which Yiyun Pass, Dagu Pass, and the second pass are closer to our army, and the distance is also about the same, and the location of Xuanyuan Pass is a little farther, but it is closer to Yangcheng where General Hu Zhen is stationed. It can be said that you want to choose one of the three levels, and each has its own advantages. ”

Li Dao continued: "At present, the 10,000 cavalry of our army are still near Xincheng, and the men and horses of General Hu Zhen need to meet with the army to form a group advantage. ”

Dong Shouye said: "The two generals are reasonable. Since the route was chosen to facilitate the rendezvous between the second army and the main force, then choose to go south from the Otani Pass! Dagu Pass is located in the middle of the three passes, if you go out of this pass, you can reach the east of Liang County, at that time with General Hu Zhen's headquarters as the right flank, and General Xu Huang's 10,000 cavalry as the left flank. In this way, the army moved south in a zigzag shape, escorting the left and right, echoing each other, and at the same time, ordering the two generals on the left and right flanks to keep moving closer to the Chinese army and rendezvous. ”

After hearing this, the generals under his command collectively patted their ass and said: "Childe Gaojian, I can't wait!" ”

This made Dong Shouye's old face a little red.

Dong Shouye saw that everyone under his command had agreed on their opinions, so he ordered the army to start packing up immediately and set off early tomorrow morning.

At the same time, Dong Shouye sent a letter to Lü Bu, who was now defending Wang Kuang's army in Xiaopingjin, telling him to ask him to resist Wang Kuang's attack and buy a certain amount of time for the army.

Of course, Dong Shouye understands Lu Bu's character and knows that he thinks very highly of himself, so in the letter, the righteous brother and the righteous brother are very affectionate, and they are very comfortable to shoot the handsome brother Lu after a fart, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts: "It's better that this little brother understands himself and knows his ability, if only other generals in the Xiliang Army could treat themselves as kind to the little brother." "My heart was also happy for a while, and sad for a while!

Lu Bu has an arrogant personality, likes to be touted, and does not want to be despised by others. In the Western Liang Army, the Western Liang Army was extremely xenophobic, and many generals of the Western Liang Army were very repulsive to Lu Bu and were unwilling to deal with him, but would have some more targeted behaviors, which made Lu Bu very hurt, and he could not find his position in the Western Liang Army for a while.

Dong Shouye said a few soft words to Lu Bu, which was nothing, but he felt warm in Lu Bu's heart. has always been despised and ridiculed, but today he finally raised his eyebrows and was looked down upon.

Early in the morning of the first day, Dong Shouye led the army to set off, at this time Dong Shouye's command gathered 23,000 men and horses from the headquarters, 12,000 men and horses under Xu Rong's command, plus 6,000 men and horses under Zhu Jun, the army gathered 40,000 people, marched all the way, like a winding long snake, the team stretched endlessly, as long as dozens of miles. The cars and horses are noisy and mighty.

After the army left Dagu Pass, it walked sixty or seventy miles to the southeast, and its location was probably on the east side of Liang County, and then set up camp and stationed troops on horses. At this time, after receiving the news of Dong Shouye's southward movement, Hua Xiong immediately led 2,000 cavalry to swagger up according to the previous agreement, went to Dong Shouye's camp, and joined Dong Shouye.

At this time, it was already the beginning of February.

Dong Shouye received news from Xu Huang and Jia Xu in Dazhai of the Chinese army that Sun Jian had gone north, and his men and horses had increased again, and they were no longer more than 60,000 people. Yingchuan Taishou Li Min gathered about 20,000 men and horses from various counties in Yuzhou to arrive at Luyang City and fight with Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou. Now there are more than 85,000 people under Sun Jian's command.

Sun Jian had sworn again, led the army to leave Luyang City, and began to move north. And Luyang City was also taken over by Yuan Shu, and it was still a large army station, as Sun Jian's follow-up.

Sun Jian's front vanguard had already reached the vicinity of Liang County.

After the news arrived, Dong Shouye ordered Zhang Liao and Jia Xu to lead 6,000 cavalry to the east side of Liang County to join him, while cruising and guarding around him. Ordered Xu Huang to lead the remaining 2,000 Huang Zhongyi to continue to lurk, and after Sun Jian's army left Liang County, they lurked on Huoyang Mountain near Liang County.

At the same time, he ordered General Hu Zhen, who was stationed in Yangcheng, to set out from Yangcheng immediately and join the army, but Xu Rong thought that this order was inappropriate, Xu Rong thought: "Yangcheng, as a peripheral stronghold outside the eight passes around Luoyang, its geographical location is very important, not only as a turnover place for grain and grass, but also as a right flank, blocking the enemy's attack on the right flank defense line, preventing the enemy from detouring to the rear of the army from the east, and can also ensure the rear of the army in case the war goes wrong, so that the army can retreat in a steady and orderly manner." If Yangcheng is not lost, it can echo with the pass, even if the offensive of the army is frustrated, relying on Yangcheng can also make a comeback, and then go out of the pass after reorganization.

Dong Shouye obeyed Xu Rong's advice, so he asked Hu Zhen to send 5,000 foot cavalry to join him, including 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. The remaining 5,000 foot soldiers will stick to Yangcheng and will not fight without authorization.

After the order was issued, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu soon led 6,000 cavalry to the east of Liang County to cooperate with Dong Shouye's army.

At this time, Dong Shouye received a secret letter from Dong Zhuo, which was a blockbuster news.

The princes of Kwantung vainly tried to establish Liu Yu of the Han clan as the son of heaven.
