The text has Guo Jia, Lu Su and Xu Shu.

Wu has Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici.

After everyone was seated in the front hall, Zhang Chao waved his hand to let Bai Tong and the others step down, this time the discussion must be top secret, requiring that except for the seven people who know, no one else will be allowed to know their plan. It's not a question of whether to trust anyone or not, but about some things, and the fewer people who know, the safer they will be.

Seeing that even Bai Tong had withdrawn, Guo Jia and the others became much more serious, this was the first time they had such a solemn meeting since they followed Zhang Chao, how not to make people nervous.

All six of them became serious because of the oppressive atmosphere. Zhang Chao's eyes looked at everyone one by one, he deliberately made the atmosphere like this, only in this way can everyone pay attention to the content of this meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the general trend has changed dramatically. Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, abolished the emperor and established the emperor, and did not do anything that was not subordinate. The following Wenchen generals also have their own thoughts, and the world is collapsing at this moment. The voice rang out. If you taste it carefully, you can hear the excitement in Zhang Chao's heart.

Came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, waited for more than five years, and finally came to the day of his grand plan, how can I not be excited, not nervous?

"The day before yesterday, my brother had left the city with Cao Agui, and the crusade against Dong Zhuo was imminent. It is foreseeable that Dong Thief will definitely not be able to support it for too long, and everyone in the coalition army has different thoughts and is not in unison. In this case, it is inevitable to fail, and what we need to do now is how to find a platform where we can develop and play in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, I decided. ”

As soon as it came to the decision, the eyes of the other six people all had a little more light, and they also knew that the time had come to give full play to their strengths.

"I have decided that our army will be divided into three routes. Feng Xiao and Ziyi led a thousand light horsemen to Hanoi and Shangdang to find a place to stay and wait for new orders. At that time, there will be members of Tianyan to cooperate with you and give you the direction and specific location, and they have actually been doing this for a long time, and they have a complete plan. When you go, walk by day and by night, and no one will find you. Fortunately, you still have plenty of time, how about the two of you can finish it? Zhang Chao set his eyes on these two people.

After Guo Jia and Tai Shici looked at each other for a while, they both got up and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely be able to complete the task." ”

"Okay, when you are in charge, if there is anything Ziyi should discuss with Fengxiao more, and listen to his opinions more." Zhang Chao nodded, accompanied by Guo Jia, this matter can be assured.

His eyes turned from the two of them, and he looked at Lu Su and said, "Zijing, this time I have to trouble you to guard Chen Liu, our base camp is here, and our family members are also here." And I can only give you five hundred cavalry, I don't know if I can hold it? ”

Lu Su hurriedly stood up and said: "The lord is at ease, if you are here, you will ensure that Chen is fine." ”

"Okay." Seeing Lu Su so confident, Zhang Chao felt at ease. This time, just leaving Lu Su alone is also a helpless method, it is really necessary for him to do too many people, no matter which military general is left, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch it, so he has to leave this person behind. Fortunately, all the princes rushed to the Tiger Prison, and Chen Liu should be fine.

After arranging the matter of defending the city, Zhang Chao set his sights on Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu. "The three of you, follow me to Luoyang, remember, it is still day and night, and your actions must be secretive. Now let's talk about the troops. ”

After several years of development, the number of cavalry of the Zhang family army under Zhang Chao reached 5,000. Of these, the heavy cavalry numbered 1,500 men and was divided into three battalions. The hussars numbered three and a half thousand men and were divided into seven battalions.

This time, Lu Su stayed at home, and all he could do was a battalion of heavy cavalry. With these people, it may be difficult to pursue the enemy, but when it comes to defending the city, it can still play a very powerful role in resisting the incoming enemy.

Guo Jia and Tai Shici took away two battalions of light cavalry, that is, a thousand people.

Zhang Chao took Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong with him, and Xu Shu with the remaining two battalions of heavy cavalry and five battalions of light cavalry.

After the distribution of people and horses, Zhang Chao asked everyone to go down to prepare, and set off immediately two days later.

After the meeting, everyone moved, preparing grain and grass, inspecting the quartermasters, and the Kamcha route, everyone was busy.

In the courtyard of the Second Prince's Mansion, Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white, was standing by a pond looking at the fish that would show their heads and breathe from time to time, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Why are people sometimes breathing like fish, in order to survive? Although they know that there is a danger that they may be fished outcropped, there are still fish who will do it, otherwise they will die faster.

"Second son, are you going to fight?" Bai Tong took a white cloak, came behind Zhang Chao, and asked softly.

Although Bai Tong didn't hear the content of the meeting, everyone started to get busy after seeing it, and he guessed that something big must be happening.

Seeing that Bai Tong was coming, Zhang Chao did not answer her question immediately, but changed the topic and asked, "I didn't allow you to be present during the meeting just now, so you won't be angry with me." ”

"How is that possible?" Bai Tong said with a look that he definitely didn't think much about it.

Seeing that Bai Tong understood himself very well, Zhang Chao felt even more guilty, and took the initiative to explain: "Actually, I'm not targeting you, but I want to form a rule, that is, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is an iron law, no one can violate it, and this requirement must start from yourself." ”

Zhang Chao actually took the initiative to explain, which made Bai Tong very moved in his heart, "Second son, don't talk about it, I can understand it." I also know that you are a person who does great things, and I just want to let you know that no matter what you decide in the future, I will be the first to abide by it. ”

"Okay." Seeing that Bai Tong was so understanding, Zhang Chao reached out and hugged him in his arms under the emotion.

Falling into Zhang Chao's arms, Bai Tong felt warm, and at this time she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

...... ......

In the first month of 190 AD, the coalition army with Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance raised the banner of crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the soldiers were imprisoned, and the chaos in the world officially began.

When Zhang Chao was in the Tiger Prison Pass, he quietly took his subordinates who had been trained for several years and quietly left Chen Liucheng and went straight to Luoyang.

Luoyang City was shrouded in a dark cloud at this time.

It has been more than half a year since the death of the Spirit Emperor Weng, and the political situation has changed from chaotic at the beginning to even more chaotic now.

The cause of the chaos is not only because someone began to crusade against Dong Zhuo, who held the military and political power in Luoyang, but also because of what just happened, Dong Zhuo actually ordered Li Ru to poison King Hongnong (Young Emperor), he was only 15 years old, and he was not the emperor for a few days, he was first ousted from power, and now he has no chance to live.

Dong Zhuo's approach made Luoyang fall into a depression, everyone is in danger, and they have to consider the future and future.

In the main courtyard hall of Cai's mansion, Cai Yong was pacing back and forth in the room, and the eyebrows on his face were already wrinkled together, showing the worry about the whole country in his heart.

In the main hall are Liu and Cai Yan. When he saw Cai Yong walking back and forth, Liu couldn't help but say anxiously: "Don't go back and forth, what should you do next, you have something to say." I heard that Yuan Shaozheng was leading more than a dozen troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and I also heard that many people in the Beijing Division were affected, so our family will be fine, right? ”

"No, it won't. Zhiyuan is very smart, he didn't go to join the coalition, Dong Zhuo knows about this matter, and he shouldn't embarrass us now. Cai Yong stopped walking back and forth, thought for a while, and said.

"Oh, that's good." Hearing that there would be no danger for the time being, Liu's originally anxious face couldn't help but look a lot better.

But then, Cai Yong's words really shocked her again. "Although Dong Zhuo doesn't embarrass us now, if the estimate is good, I'm afraid that there will still be danger in the future."

"What does that mean?" Liu, who was in his heart again, became anxious again.

"What else does it mean, do you think, he even poisoned the fifteen-year-old King Hongnong (Young Emperor), so is there anything to scruple about? In short, if he does not get rid of it, disaster may come at any time. Cai Yong shook his head, looking very angry and helpless.

Just when Cai Yong just said this, the housekeeper outside the door suddenly ran in, "Master, master, it's not good." ”

"Why are you so alarmed?" As soon as he saw that the housekeeper ran in out of breath, Cai Yong had a premonition that something was wrong.

"Master, master, Lang Zhongling Li Ru is here." The butler gasped.

"Li Ru." As soon as he heard this name, Cai Yong couldn't help but feel a shock all over his body, and the Liu family on the side changed his face greatly: "But is that Li Ru who poisoned King Hongnong?" ”

"Yes, it's him, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law." Cai Yong nodded in agreement.

Li Ru, also known as Li Xiaoru. In the official history, it was Lang Zhongling when Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, and when Dong Zhuo was dictatorship, he was ordered by Dong Zhuo to enter the palace and poison Liu Wei. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao invaded Chang'an and took control of the government, and Li Dao recommended Dr. Li Ru as his servant, but was rejected by Emperor Xian of Han. In 198, Li Dao was defeated by Cao Cao, and Li Ru was nowhere to be found.

Li Ru was also a doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a very intelligent and scheming person, Dong Zhuo was able to become the overlord of one party and finally enter the center of the Ding, and he also played a lot of credit in it.

"Let's go, let's see." Even if everyone arrived, there was no reason to hide and not see, although he was a little reluctant, Cai Yong still moved to the outer hall.

After making an appointment for tea, Cai Yong returned to the inner hall, and Liu Shi asked anxiously when he saw it, "What's the matter with him?" ”
