"Oh? An enemy of unknown origin? Dong Zhuo, who listened to the soldier's report, was full of doubts, and he was very concerned about this enemy of unknown origin.

If everything is in his control, it is not wrong, because whether it is Han Sui or Ma Teng, they are all in Liangzhou under the situation of being so miserable by themselves, it is certain to take the opportunity to do something for him after he leaves, it is not only as simple as possible, it is certain.

At the front of the report, he talked about what he had predicted, how much he lost, and how many county towns were attacked, all of which were within his psychological tolerance. But what happened to the later ones, the superfluous county seats?

According to the report, it is not like a Qiang person. If it is a Qiang people, then that kind of county town must have been scraped three feet to the ground, and it is estimated that there are not many people left, but only the money and grain in those lost counties have been robbed. This is very strange.

All the county seats, so the ones on the edge of his territory, even if all of them are gone, Dong Zhuo will not be surprised. Although he had already begun to make the county towns in his territory shrink in an all-round way before leaving, Dong Zhuo also felt that it was impossible to make those people under his command tremble every day and be ready for battle at any time.

But even so, it was impossible for Han Sui and the others to capture too many cities, their own strength was limited, and they couldn't eat too much. Moreover, his son-in-law Niu Fu is not a mediocre talent, and it is impossible for Han Sui and Ma Teng to go back and forth wantonly.

The two lost dogs are just two lost dogs, and they can only take advantage of his absence in Liangzhou to spread joy and flutter a few times. And if he was in Liangzhou? Han Sui and Ma Teng didn't even dare to show their faces, but only dared to hide in their respective cities and collude with the nearby Qiang tribes.

Otherwise, when he was on the side of Liangzhou, he had already eliminated these two people, how could he let them stay in Liangzhou and make such a fuss in his rear? It's not that he doesn't want to completely eliminate these two people, but there are really some Qiang tribes who support the two people too much, making it difficult for him to start.

In normal times, as long as two people make a mess, then he will always seize the opportunity to sweep away the power of the two people. However, whether it was Han Sui or Ma Teng, after every defeat, the speed of escape was too fast, which made them continue to stay in Liangzhou.

It's impossible that just because there are these two people in Liangzhou, he won't do anything, right? Just because Han Sui and Ma Teng may have started a rebellion in Liangzhou, he can only stay in Liangzhou to guard against it? It's impossible, it's just a little trouble, as long as Niu Fu is in Liangzhou, they can't afford to make any waves.

Only the other force that suddenly appeared, the force that could not find any trace, was worthy of his attention. The unknown is terrible, the enemy hidden in the shadows, the enemy he does not know, that is the real terrible enemy.

What he cares more about than Han Sui Ma Teng is which force in his Liangzhou is against him and dares to go against him? Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully, and really didn't think that there was any other force in Liangzhou that was capable of launching such an attack, and he couldn't detect it.

Logically speaking, it stands to reason that only Han Sui and Ma Teng should be his enemies. Including the Qiang people, the Qiang people only dared to rely on the forces of the two people and take the opportunity to plunder. The same is true of those scholars in Liangzhou, who dare not oppose themselves in the open, and only dare to secretly engage in some private actions.

Because of these reasons, Han Sui and Ma Teng were able to exist in Liangzhou for so long under his attack. Otherwise, with the power and military strength of Han Sui and Ma Teng, how could they be compared to him.

Dong Zhuo couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Li Ru for advice, "Wenyou, what do you think?" ”

Li Ru had been silent all the time after listening to the information of the soldiers who sent the letter, and fell into deep thought. Dong Zhuo also had questions, he thought about it earlier than Dong Zhuo, and when he heard the information, he immediately began to think about it.

Han Sui and Dong Zhuo, that was expected by Dong Zhuo, before they left Liangzhou, they had already deduced what kind of reaction Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou would make after they left.

As for the others, the Qiang people, or the local scholars of Liangzhou, there is no need to worry. They didn't know how long Dong Zhuo would go, and they didn't know if Han Sui and Ma Teng could meet their expectations, so they didn't dare to make trouble. Because once they return to Liangzhou, they will go to liquidation one by one, which is a pain that these people can't bear.

The forces in the shadows, and other forces involved in the rebellion between Han Sui and Ma Teng? Li Ru couldn't have imagined that there were other people and other forces in Liangzhou who had such courage and ability to participate.

Li Ru paused, and quickly put these doubts in his mind behind. That's a matter of Liangzhou, it's extremely far away from Luoyang, and it's useless to understand it or figure it out at such a distance. Because the distance is too far, it will take five or six days for the intelligence to be sent from Liangzhou to Liangzhou.

That is, what he heard happened five or six days ago. It took five or six days to write the information into a letter and send it here by horse, and it would also take five or six days for them to write the instructions into a letter and send them back when they wanted to understand it. After such a long time, if anything really happened, it would be too late.

Therefore, the information in the letter is more to tell them what happened in Liangzhou. They only need to look at it, they have a bottom in their hearts, and if they are in Liangzhou, they can also judge the result according to the actual situation.

But for now, forget it.

With the ability of Niu Fu, there is no problem at all to sit in Liangzhou, Han Sui and Ma Teng can capture some county seats, but they will definitely not occupy it for too long. As long as they held the most important cities, Han Sui and Ma Teng had no way to expand the results of the battle. That is to say, they can attack some county towns at the beginning, but it is only the results established by sudden actions, and when Niu Fu reacts, they can completely take back those counties that have been attacked.

"General Zhonglang, it doesn't matter, even if it is a secret force, it must be that the strength of the secret force is not strong, otherwise, they don't have to care so much about hiding themselves. If this force had enough military strength, it would not just take down three county towns and abandon them. Li Ru judged that this was a judgment he made based on intelligence.

It should be the truth, Li Ru thinks there is a chance that there will be nine times out of ten. If he really let him come, if the army in his hand is enough, then he will definitely take this opportunity to take several cities in a row and expand the results of the battle.

"That's right." After Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, he thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case.

No matter what, he is in Luoyang, and it is too late to rush back with his troops. Moreover, most of the soldiers under his command stayed in Liangzhou, and he only brought some cavalry with him when he entered Luoyang City this time.

If such a military force is handed over to Niu Fu, and Niu Fu can't hold Liangzhou after Spicy leaves, then he can only consider himself unlucky. However, the reason why Niu Fu is used is that it has been observed again and again and tested again and again, so Dong Zhuo believes in Niu Fu.

It's just a small episode, Dong Zhuo is relieved, no matter what, Niu Fu shouldn't be, and he won't live up to his expectations.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo put his mind at ease. However, he still hasn't changed his dislike for Han Sui and Ma Teng, whether it is Han Sui or Ma Teng, in his eyes, they must be eliminated quickly enough. After all, these two people have been against him in Liangzhou for too long, if it weren't for these two people and the Liangzhou clan they represented, Liangzhou would have been in his pocket.

Who knows, though? Dong Zhuo didn't know if he would return to Liangzhou, if Luoyang City's plan was successful, he would transfer most of the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, leaving only enough soldiers and horses to guard Liangzhou's territory. Of course, if it really comes to that time, he doesn't have to be so troublesome, if Han Sui and Ma Teng make trouble again, he will directly order from the center of the court to transfer troops to eradicate Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Including the Liangzhou Shi clan, the Shi clan is the group that Dong Zhuo hates the most. When he was in Liangzhou, it was always the Liangzhou Shi clan who was secretly the enemy of him, and Han Sui was also a representative of the Liangzhou Shi clan. O nobleman, this group of people, from the day he gained power, has always despised him.

However, as long as possible, he will definitely eradicate these people completely. It is a mistake to let these people exist, and he wants to correct this mistake and let these nobles see that the people they despise will eventually become the driving force behind their burial!

However, Dong Zhuo really felt that there were some coincidences, Liangzhou had such a hidden force, and there were also in Luoyang City, and they were all his enemies. He really felt that it was an incomparably coincidence, but it was not enough to be a coincidence, and these alone could not be used as proof to explain the problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to seal these useless thoughts for the time being, and when he needed to, he would take out his thoughts at this moment again. One day, there will be a time when the forces hidden behind the scenes, his enemies, will show their traces, and at that time, of course, he will not hesitate to defeat and kill the enemy.

For the enemy, Dong Zhuo will never leave his hand, the enemy is the enemy, whether it is benevolent or whatever, it is not necessary. Only by letting them die, making them completely unable to fight against you, that is what should be done for an enemy.

The most important thing is in front of him, only by overcoming the difficulties in front of him and getting the things he wants, that is Dong Zhuo's real purpose.

Looking ahead, as long as you get what is in front of you, nothing else is a problem.
