The fact that the princes gathered to crusade against Dong Zhuo had already spread in Luoyang City.

It's just that the soldiers are like combs, and for ordinary people, Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou is brutal in occupying Luoyang, but those princes in the name of benevolence and righteousness are not necessarily better than this Dong Zhuo.

The way of the world is always the way of the world.

The hair is like a leek, cut and reborn, and it has never changed.

But seeing that the coalition of princes came to the door, now that he is in the extreme, Dong Zhuo, the Xiangguo who held the Son of Heaven hostage, naturally would not sit idly by.

These days, the soldiers in Luoyang City have already been in full armor, ready to fight with those traitors from Shandong.

Now that the Son of Heaven is in his hands, those who are his enemies are naturally traitors.

Today, Dong Zhuo summoned the generals to the Xiangguo Mansion to discuss the strategy of dealing with the rebels.

Dong Zhuogao was on the top, but his body was a little fatter than before, and the original sharpness between his eyebrows when he fought with the Bingzhou army and horses was completely dispersed.

The generals of Liangzhou led by Dong Zhuo have been addicted to wine since they entered Luoyang.

Accustomed to the bitter cold of the borderland, once he entered the gentle township, he forgot his original ambition after all.

It's just that everyone is drunk, but the one who wakes up alone is the saddest.

The days and the hearts are like this.

There was a middle-aged scribe standing beside Dong Zhuo, with long hair piled up messily on his head, a long shirt quite wrinkled, it seemed that he had not washed it for many days, his beard was messy, and his body still had a strong smell of alcohol.

Even if you look closely, it is difficult to see that this person is Li Ru, who loved neatness the most.

Dong Zhuo glanced at this original confidant and strategist, since Li Ru's persuasion was rejected by him several times before the fight, this person looked like he was going to die.

If this person wasn't his son-in-law, with Dong Zhuo's current tyrannical nature, he would be so disagreeable, I'm afraid that he would have thrown this person into the pot a long time ago.

Dong Zhuo glanced at the generals under the hall and said with a smile: "Now that the princes of Shandong have joined forces to come west, it is really ridiculous that they are still under the guise of righteousness."

He raised his hand and patted the eucalyptus in front of him, "What they want is not this power. They are all jackals, and they have to pretend to be benevolent and heroic, which is really ridiculous! ”

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo kicked over the table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, give me the whole armament for battle, I will personally meet him Yuan Benchu for a while!"

Although Dong Zhuo has lived a wild life in Luoyang these days, this person is a veteran general who has been in battle in Liangzhou for a long time, and he pointed his fingers casually, and soon arranged the generals and horses properly.

The generals dispersed, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru on the side, and said sharply: "Wenyou, it is not easy for us people in Liangzhou to get to where we are today, and now that the major events are present, don't you still say anything!"

Li Ru was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and then spoke: "The princes of Kwantung are originally a plate of loose sand, and it is not difficult to deal with it at all."

"In the past, during the Warring States period, the princes attacked Qin, and Qin took Han Valley without fighting, and it was delayed for a long time, and the coalition army broke itself. The same is true now, the Kwantung princes already have their own contradictions, plus these people are all smart people, and no one wants to lose their troops. So just hold the tiger prison and avoid without fighting, and sooner or later they will retreat. ”

"The real opponent that Xiangguo wants to deal with now is actually the Qingzhou Army stationed in Yangcheng."

Dong Zhuo nodded, "That makes sense." ”

He suddenly stared at Li Ru and said with a smile: "The princes came to the west, and they still used the name of supporting the Han family, but now there is something that Wen You needs to do to make me feel at ease."

At the age of the year, Li Ru killed King Hongnong with poisonous wine.

…………

A few days later, the princes who had formed an alliance at the sour date dispersed, and Liu Bei went straight to Yangcheng, where Guan Yu and the others are now stationed.

In troubled times, the carriages and horses are extremely slow.

When you think about it, it's been a long time since the three brothers got together.

When the three of them met, they naturally complained of friendship and drank happily.

It's just that in troubled times, the days of joy are always shorter.

Before Liu Bei attacked Xuanyuan Pass, something was found today.

In the military tent outside Yangcheng, Liu Bei looked at the middle-aged man in armor opposite.

He poured a bowl of hot soup for the man, and laughed softly: "I was in a hurry in the sour jujube camp that day, and I didn't have time to talk to Wentai, and I didn't want to see each other again today."

The visitor on the opposite side was Sun Jian, who came with him, as well as the young man standing behind him at this time.

Sun Jian smiled when he heard this, "Now that Xuande is busy with government affairs, it is natural that the affairs of the family and the country should come first." Private friendship, after all, is not as important as a national matter. ”

He smiled again: "Besides, he exterminated Dong Zhuo one day, and when the world is peaceful, you and I can meet in Luoyang."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, but began to think about Sun Jian's intention.

Although he didn't have much contact with Sun Jian, this Jiangdong Tiger had never been such a humble person, otherwise he would not have killed Jingzhou Assassin Wang Rong because of grudges.

"What do you mean by this?"

Sun Jian seemed to have guessed that he would ask this question, and said with a smile: "There is actually only one thing here, now I am joining forces with the later general Yuan Highway, I am in charge of the battle, and he will provide grain and grass in the back." Now that I have taken a lot of his money for nothing, I have to do something. ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Why don't you enter Luoyang first?"

Sun Jian laughed heartily, "Xuande knows me." ”

After a moment, he stopped laughing, "Xuande is a smart man, and he should know that although the coalition army in the east is numerous, it is difficult to really do things, and if you want to make contributions, you still have to be on this road." ”

Liu Bei nodded, "Wentai means that I want to stand still and sit and watch you make meritorious contributions?" ”

Sun Jian smiled softly, "Although it is a little unkind to say this, Ke Jian really thinks so." Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, the Liangzhou military horse is indeed a rare strong army, so it is better to let Sun Mou test the truth first. ”

Zhang Fei, who was behind Liu Bei, stepped forward when he heard this, and said sharply: "Wentai bullied me, and no one in the Qingzhou army cares!"

Sun Jian bent down slightly, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, as if he was about to draw his sword.

Liu Bei immediately stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Fei, and laughed softly: "What Wentai said is also reasonable, I have long heard the name of Jiangdong Menghu, and I also contribute to the country, since Wentai is willing to go first, I am naturally very happy."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and retreated behind Liu Bei.

Sun Jian let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and his tense body relaxed.

"What Xuande said is exact, as for the credit, I will not monopolize it, Xuande can lead the army to follow behind me."

Liu Bei nodded and smiled, "It's just a little thing, what Wentai says is how it is, for the country's major affairs, why do you need to divide you and me?" Let's not talk about it. ”

He looked at the young man behind Sun Jian, just before Zhang Fei stepped forward with his sword, the young man behind Sun Jian did not see the slightest panic, but was about to pounce.

Sun Jian said with a smile: "This is my eldest son Sun Ce, although he is young now, since he is a child of my Sun family, he will always go to the battlefield in the future." That's why I took him with me. ”

Sun Jian let the young man behind him in front of him.

Liu Bei looked at it carefully.

I don't know if it's because he knows the history, but he always feels that although the young man's face still has a immaturity that has never faded, there is already a bear and tiger between his eyebrows and eyes.

Liu Bei praised with a smile, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and the Sun family has a successor." ”

Sun Jian glanced at the other side, and saw that Liu Bei was already full of beards, and couldn't help sighing, "When you and I first met in the past, Xuan Deshang was a young man, and he was also the age of Ce'er. I don't want to see you again today, only to realize that the years are late, and in a trance, more than ten years. ”

Liu Bei, who was raising his hand to hold the hot soup on the eucalyptus in front of him, was stunned when he was about to take a sip.

After a while, he also sighed, "Yes, it's been more than ten years along the way." ”
