In the blink of an eye of the third year of the first peace, it was autumn, and throughout this year, the Han Dynasty had been mired in a melee with Sili and the Central Plains as the central point.

Now, the time has entered September, and the three years of the first peace are about to pass, but the war on all sides has not stopped.

In particular, what made Dong Zhuo's heart palpitate was that Wang Rui, who he sent to Jingnan to serve as the assassin, was killed by the local barbarians, and as for which barbarians along the way, there is still no accurate letter.

After Wang Rui's death, Sun Jian of Changsha suddenly led his troops north and openly joined the ranks of the Jing and Yu coalition forces under Yuan Shao to defeat Dong Zhuo.

Sun Jian is a famous general in the world, Jiangdong Tiger, famous all over the world, among the existing generals of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as an opponent, only Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Liu Jian, Sun Jian five people.

Now Huangfu Song is detained by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, Jingzhao Yin Gaixun is coerced and does not dare to move lightly, Lu Zhizhen will not come to the front line to guard Jizhou, Zhu Jun and Liu Jian are currently enemies of Dong Zhuo, but fortunately, Zhu Jun is also considered to be old, he does not have too much aggressiveness, and has always taken a steady defensive position, so Dong Zhuo can use Li Dao to balance him.

Now that Sun Jian has joined the battle, Dong Zhuo has a headache.

Sun Jian and Liu Jian are not the same, in Dong Zhuo's impression, Liu Jian belongs to the kind of person who has the art of war and strategy, but his actions are relatively stable, and he can calmly analyze the current situation, and he will not be too extreme.

But Sun Jianke is different.

Sun Wentai is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and the reason why he got this reputation is also because of his style of action and ability to use troops like a tiger.

Now Liu Jian has just won Niu Fu, and another Sun Jian to stir up the situation is indeed enough for Dong Zhuo.

It was only at this time that Dong Zhuo finally began to feel the great pressure.

Moreover, Cao Cao, who re-recruited troops in Yangzhou, also led his troops back to Nanyang County, and several other herdsmen also reorganized their troops and horses, preparing to fight Dong Zhuo again.

Although after several fierce battles this year, the generals under the Kwantung Zhumu Shou began to gradually improve their combat power, and their experience was also increasing.

Although when it comes to the individual combat ability of the soldiers, the Kwantung Army is still much inferior to the Western Liang Army, but it is not without a competition.

Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, he hurriedly gave death orders to Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong, who were marching into the army, urging them to march quickly, and asking them to take Liu Jian within a time limit.

In fact, it stands to reason that Hu Zhen and the others should have arrived at Liu Jian's place a long time ago, but after hearing that Liu Jian had arrived in Yangxia to make peace with Liu Chong, they took a temporary break and did not dare to move.

Chen Wang Liu Chong's reputation over the years is quite prosperous, is the filial piety Emperor Liu Hong ordered the princes to open the palace, the military and political forces of the best development, and Liu Pet himself although a handful of age, but also brave, extremely good at shooting, and Dong Zhuo when he was young, can open the bow and arrow left and right without missing a shot.

Now there is a legend in the countryside that Liu Chong, the king of Yanchen, gathered 100,000 people and called himself the general of the Fu Han Dynasty.

Of course, anyone who understands something knows that no matter how awesome Liu Pet is, with the strength of a county in Chen State, it is impossible to bring 100,000 armor, anyway, this matter is either Liu Pet himself bragging, or someone else is bragging for Liu Pet, or someone deliberately makes it bad, which makes people deliberately feel that Liu Pet has bad intentions and has a disobedient heart to develop his forces in vain.

But in fact, Liu Chong in history was the last prince of the Chen State, and the Chen State was removed immediately after his death, which can show to a certain extent that Liu Chong has no need to rebel.

He really has no motive for this.

But he is uneasy, and he has to recruit troops and horses in Chen Guo to be a demon, and he doesn't know what he is trying to do.

The soldiers and horses of Hu Zhen and others passed through Changshe and camped near Yanling, and they only needed to go down the east to reach Yangxia!

After Dong Zhuo's letter urging them to march arrived, Hu Zhen didn't say a word, and immediately found Lu Bu and Hua Xiong.

In front of the two of them, he directly put Dong Zhuo's letter on the table

Let the two of them see for themselves.

After reading it, Lu Bu didn't say a word, and directly threw the letter to Hua Xiong.

And Hu Zhen has been looking at Lu Bu with a magical and vivid look.

In fact, during this time, there were some military frictions between Hu Zhen and Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's opinion is that Liu Jian and Liu Chong joined forces and are currently quite strong.

In particular, Liu Chong's subordinates are all elite crossbowmen, which are more difficult to fight, and although Liu Pet is stationed in Yangxia and claims to be the general of the auxiliary country, he has never expressed his stance on who he is specifically targeting.

Who knows if he is targeting Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, if you go over and fight him directly now, wouldn't it push Liu Chong to Yuan Shao's side?

But Lu Bu's opinion was not shared by Hu Zhen.

Liu Jianxing's crusade against Dong Zhuo is known to the world.

He felt that since Liu Pet was willing to accept Liu Jian, Liu Pet must be the opposite of Dong Zhuo, at least not in the same camp.

Since the two Lius are merged, it is better to destroy them together than to break them one by one, which is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of food and grass.

However, Lu Bu's opinion was that if he fought with Er Liu in the wilderness, then he could completely annihilate them in a battle with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

But Liu Pet has been building in Yangxia City for several months, and Yangxia City has now become very strong.

Liu Jian's soldiers and Liu Chong's crossbowmen were in Yangxia City, and the Xiliang cavalry could not play a role at all.

Moreover, Yangxia City is now not short of food because of Liu Pet's long-term hoarding.

If they go to besiege Yangxia City now, not to mention victory or defeat, this battle cycle alone may be terrifying.

But Hu Zhen did not agree with Lu Bu's opinion and insisted on sending troops.

The two had a dispute because of this, and Hua Xiong did not play a good role in reconciling it.

He did not judge Hu Zhen and Lu Bu's strategy fairly, but leaned towards Hu Zhen, after all, Hua Xiong was also a member of the Liangzhou military line.

The contradiction between the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army has not stopped since Lu Bu was under Dong Zhuo's command.

There is no way to do this, Lu Bu is too strong in the Bingzhou army.

In particular, Zhang Liao, who was under He Jin in the past, was also a native of Bingzhou, and he recruited generals in Bingzhou on behalf of He Jin back then, resulting in most of the military schools under General He Jin's mansion from Bingzhou.

After Lu Bu switched to Dong Zhuo's command, he stood on the same front with Zhang Liao, a fellow villager, and the two of them advanced and retreated together, and became a rival with other Liangzhou army generals.

If it was just that, the generals of the Liangzhou Army would not be too hostile to the generals and colonels of Bingzhou, the problem was that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were really fierce.

Lu Bu is brave, strong in martial arts, and good at commanding cavalry, he can be described as a fierce general among fierce generals, and none of the generals in Xiliang is comparable.

Although Zhang Liao is young, he is good at arranging formations, wise and brave, and good at charging into battle, which is a rare talent.

After these two people arrived under Dong Zhuo's command, they went out on several expeditions, and they made great contributions, and they directly pressed the generals of the Liangzhou department.

This led to a full-scale hostility between the Liangzhou system and the merge state system.

As the leader of the generals of the Liangzhou system, Hu Zhen has the most hostile and competitive consciousness towards Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

This sentiment has now been carried to the battlefield by him.

Lu Bu did not advise Hu Zhen to send troops quickly, and Hu Zhen had to deal with Lu Bu in a hurry.

There was a disagreement between the two sides, and Hua Xiong did not hesitate to fall to Hu Zhen.

The problem is that Lu Bu did not give it for nothing, in the face of the opinions of Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen, he resolutely did not back down, that is, he did not approve of the rapid dispatch of troops.

And it was at this time that Dong Zhuo's letter arrived.

Hu Zhen said arrogantly: "Fengxian, Xiangguo has an order, ordering us to send troops quickly!" Attacking Liu Jian, it's not like I have to go against you, do you have any objections from Feng Xian?"

Lu Bu glanced at Dong Zhuo's letter a few times, and said, "The general will not accept the order of the monarch outside, and Xiangguo does not know about Liu now

What is the situation of Jian, he also doesn't know that Liu Jian has joined forces with King Chen, at this time we have to entrust this matter to Xiangguo, if Xiangguo knows that Liu Jian and Liu Chong are in the same city and still let us send troops to fight, then it is not too late for us to send troops!"

When Hu Zhen heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Lu Fengxian, are you still finished? Since you hit Yanling, you have been pushing back and refusing to crusade against Liu Jian, could it be that you and Liu Jian have a secret relationship?"

Hua Xiong said disdainfully on the side: "I heard that Captain Lu and Liu Jian knew each other in their early years, didn't they care about the old feelings and deliberately connived?"

Lu Bu listened to the words of these two people, but he was not angry, but said proudly: "If you two have to send troops, then you can send troops on your own, why sneer at me? Is it the work of heroes? Bu Zi will explain the matter of Liu Jian and Liu Pet to Xiangguo Gongwen, and after Xiangguo knows about the matter of Er Liu, if he still wants to send troops, then Bu Zi will go."

After saying that, he saw Lu Bu standing up in front of Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong, and strode towards the mouth of the handsome tent.

When he walked to the exit of the tent, he saw Lu Bu turn his head to look at the two of them, and said, "By the way, the two of them said that Bu and Liu Jian knew each other, and they deliberately connived at the old feelings, which is half true and half wrong."

"I do know Liu Jian, but I prevent the two of them from sending troops, not because of Liu Jian, but because of the two of them, who are straightforward, with the skills of the two of them, I am afraid that they will be defeated by Liu Jian overnight, and if they don't do it, they will endanger their lives, please think twice!"
