Calculate each other Chapter 273 Dong Zhuo made small and medium-sized moves in secret
Sent away Lu Bu, Ye Xiong took the men and horses to continue to Yuzhong, when there were still twenty miles away from Yuzhong, for the sake of prudence, Ye Xiong ordered a small force to go to explore the enemy, and sure enough, the people of Yuzhong went to the city, so he was overjoyed and stationed in it with a large army.
At this time, Ye Xiong came out of Gaoping with more than 10,000 horses, when fighting with Zu Li Qiang, more than 2,000 casualties, and 3,000 people were used to stay in Zu Li, and the current people and horses stationed in Yuzhong are not even 10,000.
So Ye Xiong hurriedly sent a fast horse and galloped to Qi County to report this great victory to Dong Zhuo, the general of Anxi.
When the Flying Tiger Army successfully returned to Shangjun, the fast horse that sent the letter to Dong Zhuo also entered the Anxi General's Mansion in Qi County. Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard about the rapid attack of the Flying Tiger Army and Ye Xiong!
Let the Flying Tiger Army capture Bian Zhang under his nose and hit Jincheng, which is embarrassing enough. Fortunately, Ye Xiong's brain melon seeds are easy to use, and he acted with the Flying Tiger Army, not only recovering Zu Li and Yuzhong in one fell swoop, but also severely damaged Zu Li Qiang people, cutting more than 20,000 people, so that he Dong Zhuo could swear and say: "He planned for many days in this operation, and with the help of Zhao Xing Y-Revenge for the Giant Bear Tribe, the two armies marched together, and finally won a big victory!"
After Dong Zhuo reported the news to Emperor Ling in Chang'an, Emperor Ling was very happy, and he casually promoted Dong Zhuo's official position and worshiped him as General Zhenxi, and in the future he was at the same level as General Zhenbei of Zhao Xing. Ye Xiong, who made great contributions, was also promoted to General Pingxi by Emperor Ling, that is, the title before Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen sent troops together, and Zhao Xing was the same level as the Pingbei General who was originally crowned.
Ye Xiong was naturally very happy to be promoted to the general of the third rank in one fell swoop by virtue of the merits of the Flying Tiger Army, but the other two people under Dong Zhuo's command were not very happy, these two people were Li Dao and Guo Yan.
People are always accustomed to staring at the shortcomings of others and not seeing the strengths of others. Li Dao and Guo Yan are two laymen, so naturally they can't escape this low-level view. They only thought that they had served under Dong Zhuo's account for the longest time and had the oldest qualifications, and if they wanted to be promoted, they should wait in line and wait for them to finish their promotions before they could get Ye Xiong's turn. The strong rise of Ye Xiong this time has left endless troubles for Dong Zhuo Group, which is a later story, and I will not show it here for the time being.
Dong Zhuo, who was promoted, was getting carried away, but he was shocked into a cold sweat by the words of his NV son-in-law Li Ru. At that time, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo like this: "Lord Yuezhang has been promoted again today, and it is really gratifying! However, with only a few thousand cavalry, the Flying Tiger Army of Bingzhou can enter Liangzhou and run for thousands of miles to capture the thief chieftain Bian Zhang. If Zhao Xing does something to Liangzhou on a different day, what can we do?"
Dong Zhuoneng ho;n to this day, of course, has a certain political vision, and immediately understood the reminder of his son-in-law Li Ru. This is a cruel fact that people don't want to believe, that is, the Xiliang army, which is known as the invincible opponent of Xiliang, if it encounters the Bingzhou army, it will definitely be unable to resist and be defeated first, which is also consistent with the situation reported by Ye Xiong.
Dong Zhuo frowned and asked Li Ru: "Wen You (Li Ru's words are like an enlightenment, which made me wake up in an instant, how should I deal with the strong and strong state now?)"
Li Ru replied: "The strong generals under Zhao Xing in Bingzhou are like forests, and the generals who are good at cavalry warfare are too numerous to mention, on the other hand, in the Xiliang Army, the generals who can fight with Bingzhou, only General Ye Xiong and Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji's subordinates, and the rest such as Guo Yan, Li Dao, Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, etc., martial arts are ordinary and embarrassing!"
Dong Zhuo was not annoyed when he heard his son-in-law Li Ru divide his generals into two levels in a few words, but patiently asked Li Ru: "What the virtuous son-in-law said is very true, I don't know who Zhang Xiu is mentioned in your mouth? Why have I never heard of it before?
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo humbly asked for advice, so he replied truthfully: "That Zhang Xiu is Zhang Ji's nephew, when he was a child, he devoted himself to Jizhou martial arts master Tong Yuan m-n to learn the arts, and practiced a brilliant hand of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, after returning to Liangzhou, he was at home sh-Feng Lao Mu, never a new 1-head, is unknown. This person and Zhao Xing's fierce general Zhao Yun are brothers, which shows the high martial arts of this person!"
"What! Senior brother with Zhao Yunnai, doesn't it mean that this person's martial arts are not under Zhao Yun?" Dong Zhuo stood up when he heard this, and said movingly.
"Exactly!" replied Li Ru affirmatively. If Zhao Yun didn't create the Seven Exploration Panlong Marksmanship by himself, and fought against Zhang Xiu, the "Gun King of the Northland", with the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, it was really between the two and the middle, and it would not be surprising that Li Ru, who didn't know the truth, was so sure.
"Okay, tomorrow I will go to Zhang Ji's house in person and recruit his nephew to join my command!" Dong Zhuo said without hesitation.
"Lord Yue, even if you get Zhang Xiu, there is still a long way to go between Xiliang and Bingzhou. If you can dig up a few people from Bingzhou, wouldn't it be better to eliminate one or the other?" Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo again.
"Oh, Wen Wei might as well talk about it in detail, as long as there is something to do, there will be no delay!" Dong Zhuo hurriedly said when he heard that Li Ru still had a plan.
"There is a partial general under the command of Yue Zhang, named Li Su, I heard that this person claims to be a young man with Zhao Xing's flying general Lu Bunai. Lü Bu was originally a subordinate of Ding Yuan, and in order to soar to the top, he actually put his father-in-law to death, such a snob should be bribed! It is better to let Li Su quietly enter Lü Bu's camp and collude with Lü Bu, even if Lü Bu refuses to go back to the annexation state, as long as Zhao Xing hears about this, Bu's threat will be resolved!" Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo send Li Su to divide Lü Bu.
Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion and felt that he could give it a try, anyway, he would lose Li Su at most, and his subordinates would grab a lot of them, and one less Li Su was nothing. So Dong Zhuo ordered someone to find Li Su and bring him to his tent, and then asked Li Su: "Is there an old story between Eavesdropping Jun and Lu Bu in Bingzhou?"
As soon as Li Su heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned down and knelt down and shouted that he was wronged: "Please also ask General Zhenxi to investigate, I have a relationship with that Lu Bu young man, and now I haven't seen him for many years, and I haven't given birth to a second heart!"
Dong Zhuo saw that Li Su was so afraid of himself, and his heart couldn't help but feel very happy, bent down his somewhat overly f-i body, helped Li Su up, and then said to Yan Yue: "General Li, don't be surprised, this question is just a matter of trust, not suspicious!"
As soon as Li Su heard that Dong Zhuo was not here to trouble him, he hurriedly replied: "Just based on the general's orders, Daoshan Huohai Su will not dare to resign!"
So Dong Zhuo conveyed Li Ru's thoughts to Li Su, and Li Su hesitated for a moment before replying: "This matter can be done, but I will go empty-handed, for fear of being suspected." Lu Bu loves BMW gold, if the general can prepare a meeting gift for Su Liu, it can be ......"
Dong Zhuo thought about it for a while, and felt that Li Su's words were also reasonable, so he asked Li Su to go all the way to meet Lu Bu, who was now in the limelight, and the empty space in his hands was really not good-looking. So Dong Fatzi gritted his teeth and asked his subordinates to take out a bloody BMW named "Red Rabbit" that he had just found from the Western Regions, and then asked someone to take a bag of valuable gold, silver and jewelry and give it to Li Su, instructing Li Su to do a good job and not mess things up.
Li Su, who had obtained the gold of the BMW, hurriedly bid farewell to Dong Zhuo, disguised himself as a horse dealer walking in the north, and went out of Qi County to see Lu Bu.
