The river flows south in the Guan, because it is called Tongguan.

Tongguan, this is a newly established pass.

Before this, there was no Tongguan in Guanzhong, but now there is, Xiliang has exhausted his financial, manpower and material resources to build a pass in person.

This is not only a pass, but also a gate, closed to fight dogs, because after a series of simple projects, with some of the original terrain here, a radius of 100 miles, has formed a dangerous ambush circle.

This will be the battlefield where the Western Liang Army will fight the princes of all walks of life.

In the Guancheng, Xiliang soldiers and horses, interspersed with queues and queues, on the school field, the shouts were like thunder, and hundreds of thousands of troops, like a lion sleeping in the Guancheng, were about to open their fangs.

Guannai, a wooden house, spacious, bright and simple, this is the headquarters of the Chinese army of the Western Liang Army.

Dong Zhuo has lost a lot of weight from the figure of a big fat man these days, but the fierce aura on his body has increased unabated, as if a tiger has begun to recover, re-blooming his momentum as the king of beasts.

On the high hall, more than ten Xiliang people will sit in a row left and right, and he himself sits on the first animal skin, a pair of pupils are faintly shining, and the condensed killing intent is a little awe-inspiring.

Once upon a time, the prosperity of the Central Plains made Dong Zhuo lost.

He began to enjoy it.

But only for a short time, he is like a wild wolf in the wasteland, always able to dispatch his state when it is dangerous.

In the face of the aggressiveness of these princes, Dong Zhuo, who used to be in the west, has returned.

Dong Zhuo's ferocity, that is emanating from the bones.

How many years, he Dong Zhuo is just a nobody in Liangzhou, and from a nobody in Liangzhou step by step to today's position, the imperial court is the prince, in charge of the heroes, a word to determine the world, among them, he has gone through countless battles, and has walked countless times between life and death, even the prosperity of the Central Plains cannot erase his ruthlessness.

If he continues to enjoy it, it may wear down his fighting spirit.

But if the heroes rise up to fight today, he has been forced into a desperate situation, and once again burst out of his fierceness, his own ruthlessness, his own madness, and the fighting spirit of a Xiliang person can make everyone frightened.

This battle is passive, but in passivity, he has already grasped the initiative.

After Huangfu Song broke through the border, the Xiliang Army began to lay out.

An entire Guanzhong battlefield, he paid a heavy price.

And also let himself fall into a situation where there is no way to retreat, only in this way can the bloody nature of Xiliang Erlang burst out, and can Xiliang's desire to survive become a fighting spirit, and he will fight happily.

He's going to fight the world.

In this battle, he will either lose, and he will be wiped out in history.

Either win.

Thus laid the prestige that he Dong Zhuo became the first prince in the world.

He naturally knew the danger of this battle, but at this time, he could only move forward, move forward fiercely, and only if he won the battlefield could he live.

Everything is under control.

This still makes Dong Zhuo feel a little relieved.

"What is the situation on the Western Front?" Dong Zhuo opened his mouth in a deep voice and asked the Western Front first.

Most of the main forces of the Western Liang Army have been arranged on this side of the battlefield, and the Western Front has become a gap, even if he lets Han Sui go south, he is a little uneasy.

After all, Han Sui had to face the pastoral army.

Mu Longtu, I don't know when, has become a knot in his heart, and even makes him wake up at night, as if the young man, carrying a sword, is avenging his father.

How Mu Shan died, people in the world may not be able to say, but as the parties to Xiliang and Mu, it is clear.

If it weren't for the Xiliang army stabbing him in the back, the Mu clan would not have been easily defeated. ‘

If it weren't for their plot to let today's son kill his mother and kill his brother, they would not have let Mushan die in the fire.

It doesn't matter if it's today.

is still himself, he is the enemy of the Mu family Longtu, and he kills his father's enemy.

"It's okay so far!"

A general replied and said: "Master Jia will come with news every day, these days, although the pastoral army has taken control of Chencang, but in the face of the overlapping formation arranged by the Jincheng army with a depth of more than 100 miles, it seems a little helpless! ”

"This matter cannot be taken lightly, it must be kept an eye on, and another person will be sent to urge the Qiang army and tell Yue Hu that if he can raid Mujing and cut off Mulongtu's head, I will personally take Yizhou for him!" Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth, in order to ensure the stability of the Western Front, he had to increase the weight and mobilize the action of Yuehu, now close to the Jincheng Army, may not be able to stop the herdsman, if the Qiang army is added, then the herdsmen will not be in trouble.

The key is that the Qiang army is the soldiers and horses of the Qiang tribe after all, although Yue Hu and himself are like brothers and sisters, but in the face of racial interests, Yue Hu may not betray himself, but he may not necessarily work hard.

So he wants to inspire Yuehu, as long as Yuehu is willing to do his best, his tens of thousands of Qiang troops will not only make achievements on the Western Front, but also change the trend of the entire battle.

"No!"

A marching master book, writing documents, and then handing it to Dong Zhuo for sealing, and then passing it out with an eight-hundred-mile fast horse.

"By the way, has Lu Bu come back?" Dong Zhuo asked suddenly.

After Lu Bu was cut off for the withdrawal of Xiliang's main force from Henan, he took a lot of risks, as his own righteous son, the first fierce general under his command, even if Dong Zhuo couldn't completely trust him, he didn't pay much attention to him.

He didn't want the Bingzhou army under his command to be able to fight well and lose on the battlefield in Henan.

"Not yet!"

The general Guo Yan stood up and arched his hand and said: "Our department finally withdrew from Xin'an, and the war drums are monstrous, and it is estimated that the fight is fierce!" ”

"No news at all?"

Dong Zhuo frowned.

"Report!"

At this time, a voice outside the camp gate became louder.

"Come in!"

Dong Zhuo let out a low snort.

A soldier outside walked in and handed over his hand to report: "Report to Master Taishi, and the captain of the state army, Wei Xu is asking to see you outside the camp!" ”

"Wei Xu?" Dong Zhuo squinted: "Lu Bu's general? ”

"That's the man!"

"Let him in!"

"No!"

This soldier quickly brought Wei Xu in.

"The last general, Wei Xu, implore Lord Taishi, send troops to save my family's prince!" As soon as Wei Xu walked in, he was dusty, regardless of his image, and immediately knelt down and submitted a letter sadly.

"Master Taishi, this is Lu Bu's handwritten letter!" Someone stepped forward to check.

"Report it!"

"No!"

This letter was opened by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo looked at it carefully, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.

"Youzhou Army!"

He gritted his teeth.

"Lord!" Li Ru's expression changed slightly.

"See for yourself!" Dong Zhuo handed the letter to Li Ru, and Li Ru understood what was going on.

It's just that he has some doubts.

The Youzhou army can penetrate and merge the state and enter the Guanzhong, and its combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, but it didn't show much in the early stage, and the flamboyant Shangdang army can't stop him, which is normal.

But since it entered Hedong, the Youzhou army has been standing still, and it seems unrealistic to take the initiative to send troops at this time.

"Wen Wei, now I, what should I do?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru directly.

He had the intention to send troops to the rescue, but he was a little worried, so he hesitated.

"Lord, there is a problem with this matter!"

Li Ru said in a low voice: "The Youzhou army is suddenly interspersed in the middle of us, there is a huge danger, and even if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out, they still do this, is it just to snipe the Bingzhou army, the Youzhou army and the Bingzhou army, not like there is such a deep hatred!" ”

"You mean, Lu Feng asked for help first, but it was a lie?" Dong Zhuo squinted.

"Master Taishi Mingjian, Wen Hou is loyal to Master Taishi, and he never lies half-sentences!" Wei Xu suddenly kowtowed in the camp, and even kowtowed to the blood, and said sadly and angrily: "I have tens of thousands of sons and daughters in the state, and now I am at the moment of life and death, and I ask Lord Taishi to have mercy and send troops to rescue!" ”

"Captain Wei, don't be impatient!"

Li Ru smiled, personally helped Wei Xu up, and said: "A certain is not questioning Wen Hou, Wen Hou fought for the Taishi, as we all know, this battle is even more broken, loyal and courageous, no one knows, no one knows, such a good general, how can I doubt, what I suspect, is the intention of the Youzhou Army!" ”

Only then did he say to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, the Youzhou army is suddenly inserted in the gap between our army and the Bingzhou army, and the purpose is definitely not just to intercept the Bingzhou army......

Before Li Ru's words fell, a soldier hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in his ear.

His complexion changed slightly, and then he said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, I just got the news that the generals of Youzhou, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande have personally gone south, and now they are leading the Youzhou Army to fight against Xin'an County with the Bingzhou Army!" ”

"Liu Xuande?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he squinted slightly: "No wonder the Youzhou Army has become bolder, it turns out that the backbone has arrived!" ”

He thought about it, waved his hand, and retreated from the generals: "Wait for you to go down first, come here, and leave Captain Wei Xu to recuperate from his injuries, I have my own decision on this matter!" ”

"No!"

The generals received the order and rushed out.

Although Wei Xu was a little unwilling, he had no choice but to leave the lobby gloomily with a few Xiliang soldiers.

Only Li Ru did not move.

This seemed to be a tacit understanding between the lords and ministers, and after a long time, Dong Zhuo spoke, "Wen Wei, do you still have something to say?" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Ru nodded, and then said: "Lord, Liu Bei is going south, and his plan is not small, I am afraid that we have to keep an eye on him, and ...... other"

He said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu's request for help is also quite problematic!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"I can't tell!"

Li Ru said: "I just feel that with Lu Bu's pride and the strength of the state army, it is impossible for a Youzhou army to ask for help so quickly!" ”

"Maybe it's just that you're thinking too much!"

Dong Zhuo said: "After the Hangu Pass was broken, Lu Bu fought the Cao Army and the Jiangdong Army in blood, even if he suffered heavy casualties, he had to cover the main force of our army to the south, which is enough to prove his loyalty to me, if I continue to doubt this person, I am afraid that it will backfire!" ”

If he still had some doubts before, now, Lu Bu has used this battle to dispel the suspicions about Lu Bu in his heart.

"Maybe it's because the subordinates are thinking too much!"

Li Ru couldn't say anything, he just felt that Lu Bu was a little deliberate in asking for help, but why he asked for help, he couldn't think it through, he had no motive, and he couldn't guess his thoughts, which made him wonder if he was too suspicious.

"No matter what, I must not see that Lu Bu is defeated!" Dong Zhuo said: "In the next big war, you still need him!" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Ru recognized this: "Since you want to send troops to increase the troops, it is better to let the flying bear ride!" ”

"Flying Bear Cavalry?"

Dong Zhuo frowned: "Do you need it?" ”

"Since the lord trusts this person, then give him a higher treatment, and let the lord's grandson send cavalry to the rescue, what an honor, at least let Lu Bu understand the lord's father-son affection for him, so that this person can fight bloodily for the lord in the future!"

"That's true!"

Dong Zhuo nodded in approval, and he shouted in a low voice: "Xu Rong!" ”

"In!"

A general walked in.

"You will order five thousand, go north immediately, and take Lu Bu's Bingzhou army south!"

"No!"

Since Niu Fu died in battle, Xu Rong is the main general of the Flying Bear Cavalry, although the Flying Bear Cavalry was sunk in the first battle of that year, but after so many years, it can be regarded as gradually recovering its combat effectiveness.

After Xu Rong left, Dong Zhuo thought for a while, looked at Li Ru, and said: "The big battle is imminent, I estimate that it won't take ten days, the Kwantung coalition army will rush in, and it will be a hard battle at that time, but I'm still a little worried!" ”

"What is the lord worried about?"

"Although the Western Front is dangerous, as long as the Qiang Army and the Jincheng Army do their best to fight, even if they can't win, they should be able to hold on, what I'm worried about is that Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is no longer young, and these years can already fight with us openly and secretly!"

Dong Zhuo said: "Will he not seize this opportunity and oppose me?" ”

"Jia Wenhe is staring at Chang'an, he should be fine!"

"I believe in Jia Wenhe's ability, but don't forget, there are countless people around the Son of Heaven who give him advice, and Jia Wenhe's strength alone may not be able to prevent their abrupt moves!"

Dong Zhuo experienced a Luoyang Incident, and he personally led it, so he would never allow himself to have such a problem before the war.

"What the lord thinks is not unreasonable!" Li Ru thought for a while and said: "When today's son has indeed begun to grow up, over the years, some fangs have grown, if it is usual, maybe we don't have to care, but if we fall into the weakest time, he will definitely bite us hard!" ”

"Do you have a plan?"

Dong Zhuo asked.

"A good idea?"

Li Ru stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, thought and thought.

Dong Zhuo just looked at him quietly, and did not urge, the two people he trusted the most were his sons-in-law, one was Li Ru, and the other was Niu Fu, they were his sons-in-law, loyal and stable, and they could trust unreservedly because of their ability.

He knew that Li Ru must have a way.

"Now there's only one way!" After a full quarter of an hour, Li Ru spoke, and said in a low voice: "Follow the original Mu Yuanzhong and coerce the emperor to conquer in person!" ”

At the beginning, Mushan faced the Kwantung princes, in order to ensure the operation of the imperial court, he brought the Son of Heaven Liu Wei to the front line, and put it by his side, the effect of this walk is still good, at least it can stabilize the mind of the Son of Heaven.

If it weren't for Liu Xie, Xiliang Jun wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"The emperor is personally recruited?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up and said, "This plan is very good!" ”

As long as the Son of Heaven is by his side, that group of royalists, no matter what they do, is useless, unless they can get rid of the Son of Heaven, otherwise they can only obediently be suppressed by themselves, because they are also afraid of hurting the Son of Heaven.
