Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru, "Strategist, how is it?" ”

Li Ru gently stroked the short beard under his chin and said, "My lord, the Northern Army led by Zhou Shen will arrive tomorrow, and I think it should be one step ahead of the Northern Palace Boyu Army." Tomorrow, the lord will go to see Zhou Shen, and our two armies can attack together. ”

Dong Zhuo heard this, frowned and asked, "Didn't the military advisor say before that he wanted to preserve his strength?" How did he attack again and fight hard with Beigong Boyu. ”

Li Ru smiled and said: "Don't worry, the prestige of the lord in the past is known to the Qiang people, and Zhou Shen is the general of the Northern Army of the Suwei Jing Division, and the Qiang people have not heard of his name." Our two armies will attack together, and the Qiang people will also take Zhou Shen as the main target of the attack. At that time, the lord only needs to look at Zhou Shen's army, and as soon as his army retreats, our army can retreat by itself, so the loss is not large. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this, and said, "What the military advisor said is reasonable, but why did the military advisor assert that Beigong Boyu will win?" ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what the victory or defeat is, it doesn't matter what the lord says. If you win, our army will attack together with Zhou Shen, and you will have the merit of the lord. Defeated, although the reputation of the lord was damaged, Zhang Wen did not dare to remove the lord from his post without permission, and scolded a few words at most, and the loss of the lord's soldiers was not large, and it was okay for the lord. However, Beigong Bo Yusheng can weaken the northern army, although Zhang Wen is called an army of 80,000, but they are all Kwantung militia, untrained, it is already a great blessing to defeat the Shangqiang people without touching it, not everyone in the world has the ability of Huangfu Yizhen. ”

Dong Zhuo heard this and asked, "How do you need to persuade Zhou Shen to send troops?" ”

Li Ru smiled: "The lord is attached to the ear." Then he saw Li Ru come to Dong Zhuo's ear and didn't know what to say, Dong Zhuo nodded again and again when he heard it, and finally laughed even more: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

Then Dong Zhuo's face was solemn, and he said: "Tomorrow, all departments try not to engage the Qiang people, if the Qiang people are close, they only need to deal with them with a strong bow and a crossbow." ”

"No."

At this time, Li Ru appeared again and said: "General Zhang Xiu can't charge forward tomorrow, he just needs to hide in the formation, and if he sees a large number of Qiang people coming, he can show his face." ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Li Ru strangely, and then at Dong Zhuo, Li Ru saw that even Dong Zhuo cast a strange gaze, so he explained: "General Zhang Xiu's prestige and Qiang people are afraid of it, if General Zhang charges forward tomorrow, the Qiang people's sharp spirit will be cut, and I am afraid that the loss of Zhou Shen's army will not be large." And General Zhang only needs to hide in the formation of our army, if the Qiang people come to General Zhang, the Qiang people will be frightened, and our army can easily defeat it, so that the loss of soldiers can be reduced. ”

Dong Zhuo heard it and clapped his hands and praised: "Wen is worried and clever, so that all departments act according to the plan, just keep the soldiers carefully, and don't fight for a long time." ”

"No."

……

After the generals withdrew, only Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er stayed, in fact, Zhang Xiu wanted to stay, Hu Che'er mainly took Zhang Xiu, but he acted with Zhang Xiu.

Dong Zhuo saw that Zhang Xiu didn't go out, so he knew that Zhang Xiu was in trouble, and asked, "What's the matter with Boyuan?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "My lord, when Bo Yuan first came, he had such a high position, and I am afraid that the generals will not accept it." Bo Yuan is willing to start from low and ascend to this position with his military exploits. ”

Dong Zhuo thought about it and knew that Zhang Xiu was worried about Huaxiong, and he didn't want the two powerful generals under his command to be in discord, so he laughed and said: "Bo Yuan is so ambitious, since this is the case, according to what Bo Yuan said, tomorrow you will be ranked after Hua Xiong, and you will be promoted in the future by virtue of your military achievements." ”

"Thank you, Lord." After speaking, Zhang Xiu led Hu Che'er out of the tent.

At this time, Dong Zhuo stopped Zhang Xiu and said: "Bo Yuan, let's go and choose a good horse for your general, and choose the best." ”

"Yes, Lord Xie."

……

After Zhang Xiu retreated, Li Ru asked, "Why is my father-in-law like this?" ”

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Wen is worried about the overall situation, and the confrontation between the two armies is definitely a rare genius in the world. However, if we talk about party disputes, we still have shallow experience. ”

Li Ru looked teachable, Dong Zhuo Oh smiled and said: "Fang Caiwu put Zhang Xiu in front of Hua Xiong, the two of them have a gap, now Zhang Xiu please surrender, when Hua Xiong knows about it, he will definitely not accept it, and the gap between the two will definitely be bigger." The discord between the two generals in the army is good for me, but it is not a blessing for our army, and it is very difficult to choose between them. Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo also sighed.

But Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, don't underestimate Zhang Xiu, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiu has a way to reconcile with Huaxiong at this time." ”

Dong Zhuo sighed when he heard it: "This son is extraordinary, as Wen Wei said, if I am strong one day, this son is the sword in my hand, if I lose power, I am afraid that the first one is this son." ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "My father-in-law's words are wrong, Zhang Xiu will not be the first to rebel, and he will definitely hide deep behind him to be the hunter." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard it: "That's right." However, I, Dong Zhuo, want to become a hegemon, and in the future, there will be many such heroes and heroes under my command, and I want the heroes of the world to worship at the feet of my Dong Zhuo. ”

……

Dong Zhuo's arrogant words Zhang Xiu naturally didn't know, but even if he knew that it was a pouting from the perspective of the traverser, but if Zhang Xiu knew, he would still sigh a little, don't look at the ancients, Dong Zhuo, a wolf-like figure recorded in the history books, also has such vision and wisdom, and those who are more famous are even more incredible.

After exiting Dong Zhuo's tent with Hu Che'er, he directly found a soldier to ask for directions and went to the racecourse. Most of the troops under Dong Zhuo's command are cavalry, and they are the family foundation of Dong Zhuo's several times of peace, and he has worked hard for many years in the east and west, among which there are naturally many high-quality horses. Zhang Xiu doesn't know much about horses, if it is a horse that has been carefully cultivated, Zhang Xiu can naturally see it at a glance, but it is a little difficult to choose a first-class horse from thousands of war horses.

And now Zhang Xiu's eyes are like this, thousands of horses are constantly neighing. Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and asked Hu Che'er: "Hu Che'er, do you know about horses?" ”

Hu Che'er replied: "Young master, a certain Hu person, he has grown up with horses since he was a child, and he naturally knows how to move horses. ”

Zhang Xiu was relieved when she heard this, so she pointed to the horses and said, "Then you choose a horse for yourself, don't choose the best, I'm afraid that the lord will blame you." ”

Hu Che'er nodded and said, "There is no peerless BMW like the young master's mount, I am afraid that it was hidden by Lord Dong." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "That's good, you go and choose one." ”

The war horses in Dong Zhuo's army imitated the Hu people, and they were stocked in the camp, and only the top good horses were kept in the stables and found someone to take care of them. Hu Che'er turned around a few times in the herd before pulling out a brown horse, Zhang Xiu looked at it a few times and didn't think there was anything special about this horse, when Zhang Xiu asked, Hu Che'er said: "Young master, this horse still needs to be carefully cared for a few days before it can be restored to the god of horses." ”

At this time, a soldier came over and said, "I have seen General Zhang and General Hu, and Lord Dong ordered the villain to take the general to the stable to choose a horse for General Hu." ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Hu Che'er, but Hu Che'er said: "No need, I have already chosen, this horse is probably familiar in the stable, so there is no need to choose again." “

When the soldier saw the horse led by Hu Che'er, he opened his mouth, but Zhang Xiu said: "Okay, that's it, you can report to the lord truthfully." ”

"No."
