Dong Zhuo was right, the previous progress was so smooth that they simply forgot to be by their side, but there was still a hungry wolf crawling, and it could take a bite at their most critical moment at any time. However, if it is according to the strategy set before, even if it is not a big deal to keep the Black Mountain Thieves, after all, there is a large area of Jizhou as a buffer, as long as the place connected to the Taihang Mountain is separated, even if the Black Mountain Thieves pour out, the impact on Dong Zhuo's army will not be as fatal as it is now.

Dong Zhuo's embarrassment Guo Jia is not clear, although the Black Mountain thieves are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, but now more of the people in them are the people who have been cornered from Changshan, Zhao and other places in the past ten years, these people are familiar with the local terrain, and many years of mountain and forest life have also made them more accustomed to walking on mountain roads, quietly, and it is difficult to be detected.

Bowing his head and thinking about it, all of a sudden, Guo Jia suddenly remembered what Jia Xu said at the beginning, but Dong Zhuo didn't take it as a thing at that time, but he stopped paying attention to it after sending people, Guo Jia paid attention to it, but at that time, Zhang Yan, Li Damu and others among the Black Mountain thieves had different opinions, plus Dong Zhuo didn't have any thoughts on them at that time, and in the end it was just gone, thinking of this, Guo Jia suddenly said loudly: "Do you still remember that the lord once sent someone to Taihang Mountain?" ”

"Oh?" Raising his eyebrows, Dong Zhuo still had a worried puzzled voice on his face, first, he didn't react for a while, and secondly, the impression of this matter in his heart was too shallow, he didn't remember it at all, and naturally he didn't think about Jia Xu's proposal at the beginning.

"Although there are many black mountain thieves in Taihang Mountain, but the old and weak women and children account for the majority, when they invaded and merged with the state, they were just tempted by a large amount of grain and grass and money promised by Yuan Shao, among the black mountain thieves, Zhang Yan, Li Damu, Lei Gong and others have not been together for a long time, if it is not profitable, they will not act together, since they have failed to recruit them together, so what about separating them?" Guo Jiake didn't know that Dong Zhuo didn't understand the meaning of what he said at all, and only thought that he was surprised by his sudden proposal, so he didn't go to explain it specifically, but smiled indifferently and analyzed it aloud.

This time, although Dong Zhuo still didn't understand what Guo Jia said before, he understood the meaning of Guo Jia's mouth at this time, and his eyes couldn't help but show a sense of thought, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "If we say that we may not have much surplus grain and grass in our hands, but we are not short of this money, if the Black Mountain thieves can be driven by profits, they can promise heavy profits to let them send troops to assist me, but ......"

"The lord's concerns are clear, but from another point of view, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the lord, as long as there is hope, why not give it a try?" Before Dong Zhuo's words were finished, Guo Jia had already interrupted, what the monarch wanted to master was loyalty, but for Guo Jia, as long as they could use it, it could become a card in their hands, and as for loyalty or not, it was not in their consideration at all.

After a slight pause, Guo Jia continued: "Although there is no guarantee that they can indeed be used by the lord, and it is not impossible for them to defect, but the probability of this situation is too small, as long as the bait thrown by the lord is tempting enough, I am not afraid that they will not take the bait." ”

"Counting the time of the merger, the Black Mountain thieves have already offended the lord twice, how could the shadow guards not notice them? It's just that their millions of people are too inconspicuous for the entire Taihang Mountain, most of the old and weak women and children are scattered, and the strong among them, after being divided by Zhang Yan and them, are still scattered for their own training, and act as hunters on weekdays, in order to solve a part of the food shortage, only when there is a war will they gather, because it is too difficult to find the location of their leaders, and it is afraid that it will be a protracted war. It's really unfavorable for the lord now, and for the sake of today, you can try to lure him to the advantage. ”

As the so-called sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs, among the princes of the late Han Dynasty, the Black Mountain Army seems to be inconspicuous, but for Dong Zhuo at the moment, it has become a thorn in the flesh, if there is a choice, Dong Zhuo will definitely directly send troops to clean them up, but now, he has to lower his head and rethink Guo Jia's proposal.

"Order Zhang Ren, lead the troops to continue north to Changshan, be sure to open the channel with the Wenhe army before our army and Yuan Shao duel, order Zhang Liao, divide the troops to guard Chiping, and then let him personally lead the army north into the Qinghe, and give the order, let Lu Bu lead the troops to set off immediately, attack Xindu, and let Zilong assist ...... from the side" The silent room was silent for a long time, Dong Zhuo's voice suddenly sounded, and a series of orders came out of his mouth without the slightest gap, and Guo Jia on the side couldn't help but flash a look of appreciation in his eyes when he heard it.

Dong Zhuo is affectionate, and he seems a little indecisive in the handling of many things, but when it comes to military affairs and the plan of the forces, it is his kind of categorical determination that makes Guo Jia deeply admired, and when he heard Dong Zhuo's order, he put the matter that was originally prepared for him to personally lead the troops to attack Xindu on Lu Bu's body, Guo Jia already knew Dong Zhuo's choice.

"Montenegro, Montenegro, if I don't take it down this time, how can I sit upright safely, after more than ten years, it's time to eliminate their hidden danger." Before long, Dong Zhuo's voice gradually faded, and after the order was given, Dong Zhuo immediately muttered in a slightly distracted voice.

"Lord, how can Guo Jia do such an exciting thing without me? Handan's place is still the lord to stay in the town, let Jia take the lord on a journey, right? After Dong Zhuo's order was issued, the previous look of appreciation on Guo Jia's face froze on his face, his face turned bitter, and Guo Jia protested helplessly.

"No, I'll take Zhongkang and Ziyi with me, besides, I won't go into the mountain, I'm just going to meet those thieves for a while, and it's enough to bring a team of guards, so you don't need to worry about safety." Shaking his head, Dong Zhuo ignored Guo Jia's protests, and rejected Guo Jia's proposal with a serious and firm expression.

"With that guy Xu Chu here, it's difficult for Feng Xian to hurt you, and the ghost is worried about your safety, but why do you keep me at home?" There was bitterness on the corner of his mouth, Guo Jia couldn't help but be angry in his heart, with his character, it really gave him a headache to deal with so many tedious things every day, and Guo Jia was almost crazy about Dong Zhuo's practice of taking him to the top cylinder at such a critical moment, but he didn't dare to refute him directly, who knows if Dong Zhuo would be ruthless in the rest of the time to leave him behind.

In fact, for any scribe, it is much better to stay in the rear than to go with the army, but Guo Jia's temperament is lazy, and he needs to deal with almost everything big and small after he sits in the rear, and this situation can be regarded as a characteristic existence in Dong Zhuo's army.

Now that a few years have passed, although the academies in Yongliang and other places have been prepared, after all, the time is too short, and the trained talents can cope with some simple things, but there are very few who can really enter Dong Zhuo's core now, and the scarcity of literati is doomed to make it impossible for Guo Jia to be lazy.

Of course, it can't be said that there is no one available in Dong Zhuo's hands now, at least there are talents among the big families who surrendered in Ye County, but it is just a matter of decision-making, but it has to be Guo Jia, staying in the rear is doomed to trouble, how can Guo Jia be happy?

"Montenegro, Zhang Yan, let this king come and meet you well." shouted loudly, Dong Zhuo obviously had no room to give Guo Jiahuan a turnaround.

One side of the water and soil nourishes the other side, and the same is true of an era.

I have to say that whether it is a soldier or an ordinary person, maybe the life span of the ancients is shorter than that of later generations, but this physical quality is not to say, after bidding farewell to Guo Jia, who was full of resentment, Dong Zhuo took Xu Chu and Tai Shici and three thousand guards to set off in a hurry, and before them, they had already sent someone to hurry away.

More than two hundred miles of place, the more difficult the road is to walk when they get to the back, and even many times they have to dismount and move forward slowly, the ancient gallop road is not as accessible as later generations, there is no gallop road in many places, at most it is just pedestrians walking more, and the road that gradually takes shape, but Dong Zhuo They went to the place this time is at the foot of Taihang Mountain, although so, they will also encounter the Taihang Mountain that turns out from time to time, which has become an obstacle for them along the way.

Seven days later, at the Jianshan Mountain in the west of Huangbeiping, Zanhuang County, which belonged to the scope of Zhao State, a team of embarrassed soldiers were hurriedly climbing upward, and finally found a flat land in the middle of the mountain and began to set up a camp.

Although it seems to be only a distance of two hundred miles, the road that Dong Zhuo and his party walked was far more than double or more, but the soldiers did not have the slightest complaint about this, but the fatigue on their faces erupted after everything was ready and relaxed, and they fell to the ground one by one without their image.

"My lord, they are here too." And not long after they set up the camp, one of them had already crossed the heavy soldiers and rushed to Dong Zhuo's side, kneeling on the ground and paying homage, and said softly.

"Oh? It's coming pretty fast, how long has it been? After letting people get up, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but snort and asked.

"It's more than half a day." The soldier didn't say much, and his answer was simple and direct.

"Okay, let's go, take me to meet them." Dong Zhuo's face suddenly flashed an inexplicable color, and the tiredness on his face quickly faded under this look, after finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Chu and Tai Shici beside him and shouted: "Zhongkang, Ziyi, order a team of people to follow me down the mountain......"
