The camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army, because Sun Jianbu suffered more serious losses. The entire Kwantung coalition battalion strengthened their defense. In order to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from launching a surprise attack to attack them. Preparedness is the best thing they can do.

"Fortunately, the Flying Bear Army did not go too deep, once it attacked our grain route, the entire army would fall into a great disaster." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.

"Sun Jianbu's losses are also relatively large. I heard that one of the generals was also killed. Cao Cao said.

"The morale of our army will inevitably be affected in some way." Xi Zhicai said.

"Well, I'm not worried about that, it's what to do next? According to the scout's report, Dong Zhuo established six lines of defense outside Bishui Pass, and it was not easy to break through. Cao Cao said worriedly.

The loss of Sun Jian's troops only suffered some damage to the morale of the Kwantung Coalition Army, but it also withstood the first wave of Dong Zhuo's attack.

Dong Zhuo did not launch a larger-scale attack, because he was afraid that excessive losses would make him lose a large degree of control, not only that, but he was also worried that a large amount of loss of troops would cause serious consequences, and Sun Jian's troops launched some counterattacks after stabilizing the defensive line, allowing them to stabilize the situation, but the losses were still relatively large.

These are all small things, and how to attack them is a big thing.

"The six lines of defense established by Dong Zhuojun are extremely difficult to attack, and their firearms are more conducive to defense, so the situation is extremely unfavorable to us." Cao Cao said.

"This." It seems that there is no way for Xi Zhicai, there is no way, the firearms equipped by the Kwantung Coalition Army are still used as honor guards, and they may feel embarrassed and useful in the war, in such a situation, it seems that it is difficult to launch an offensive to a greater extent, and it seems that it is still difficult to continue to launch an offensive to a greater extent in such a situation.

Cao Cao was very worried about the situation he encountered earlier, but helplessly Yuan Shao seemed to be very confident, and Cao Cao didn't know where Yuan Shao's confidence came from.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

"The six lines of defense require too many troops. Moreover, at the moment we are not yet able to fully expand our defensive line, and the Kwantung coalition forces have already pressed over. We should shrink our forces so that we can effectively fight them. One of the generals said loudly.

"Are we going to give up the six lines of defense we have built?" Guo Yan resolutely objected. Because the defensive line has already been built, it is difficult to say that if you do not resist it, you will give it up like this.

But now the problem is that the six lines of defense cannot be completed at all, and the amount of work is increasing day by day, because there are many trenches that need to be excavated. In addition, the number of people arrested is getting smaller and smaller, which makes it very difficult.

In addition, the six lines of defense require a lot of defensive strength, and the points of defense will increase a lot, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of their defense.

Dispersing troops is a taboo for soldiers, and many generals have such worries about the use of troops.

But the problem is that six lines of defense have already been established, and it would be a pity for them to abandon them. It's just too reluctant for them.

Dong Zhuo sat in a distant place with a headache and watched the generals arguing. Maybe an argument will solve the problem, but maybe not at all, anyway, that's the way it is. This is also a great disaster for them. In such a situation, they need to solve some practical problems on their own in order to accomplish such things.

"Good news, lord." Li Wei excitedly took a telegram and said anxiously, it seems that if this matter is not said, it will suddenly become a thing of the past, which is a big, big regret.

"What's the good news?" Dong Zhuo said angrily. Sounds weak. Fighting a war is spending money, and the same is true when there are more troops, many troops need equipment, and these need to spend money, not only that, but also food and clothing, where does he get the money from, is he getting a fake jade seal now, and sell that thing to the Republican Army, maybe he can exchange it for a larger price, if the emperor can also make money, he will sell the emperor too. Dong Zhuo really has plans to do such a thing, for him, there is nothing he dare not do.

"The Lord, the Republican Army, the Republican Army proposes to establish some kind of safe zone or something." Li Dao said.

"What does this have to do with us, the IRA thinks too much. They're just a bunch of profiteers, thinking too much. Leave them alone. Dong Zhuo said.

"My lord, the key is money, they will have more money to offer us." Li Dao said.

"Money?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Dao and asked. He is very short of money right now. As long as he can get money, it will definitely not hurt much, and he decided to discuss such a thing with the other party, maybe it will be a good thing for him.

"Yes, my lord, money. The IRA sent a telegram saying that they wanted to establish a safe zone and provide a safe haven for the Luoyang people. Li Dao said.

"Huh. What does their charity have to do with us. Besides, those Luoyang people, what does their life and death have to do with the Republican Army, the Republican Army is simply thinking too much. They are not eating too much. Dong Zhuo said impatiently. The Republican Army's approach aroused Dong Zhuo's disgust, and he couldn't say exactly what he was disgusted by, but what he knew was that many things had a lot to do with him, and in short, he hoped that such things could be delayed.

"My lord, in this matter, the Republican Army is willing to exchange with us, knowing that we provide them with people and places, they will give us a certain amount of arms support." Li Dao said.

"What?" Dong Zhuo couldn't believe his ears, he felt that this matter couldn't be true.

"The IRA is willing to exchange with us, this is a telegram." As he spoke, Li Dao handed over the telegram. Dong Zhuo took it and looked at it.

Dong Zhuo felt that this was a good thing, but he felt that it was not realistic at all, and felt that the Republican Army had its own conspiracy, but at present, he had already explained that he couldn't take care of it. Because he lacked many, many munitions, he needed more than just food to fight. He also needs more arms, which will help him stabilize his situation to the greatest extent, and this is the most advantageous situation for him. In such a situation, there is still a lot to do.

"Do you think this thing is feasible?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Dao worriedly. This is a good thing, but he thinks it is better to eliminate some unstable factors.

"My lord, I think this matter is feasible, the Republican Army's move may be to buy people's hearts, they will inevitably provide a lot of food, but their soldiers can't fight, we don't have to worry, at most the Republican Army will lose some food. But for us, the meaning is different. Li Dao said. In Li Wei's view, the Republican Army is buying people's hearts. But it is also feasible for them to buy people's hearts, but for them, it is a good thing, their ammunition problem is solved.

"Moreover, those who are dead in our hands are dead and sick and sick. For us, it's already a big threat. In such a situation, it might still be beneficial to us if the IRA were to accept it. Li Dao said.

The fact that the IRA will carry a lot of baggage, and they don't have such worries, is indeed a rare good thing for them.

"They buy people's hearts, hehe, this people's hearts are not easy to buy." Dong Zhuo said.

"It takes a lot of food to buy people's hearts, even if you eat it, you can eat a lot of their food, if we can, we can also participate in it, get some damage to them, in short, such a thing, it's easy to operate, promise them." Dong Zhuo said. That's a good thing, they can get more firearms support.

"As for the number of people exchanged. It's up to you to make sure, it's our chips. That's right. Having them build a hospital where our people can also treat them is a great help for our morale. Dong Zhuo is very happy, after all, this solves a lot of problems.

Although this is simply seen as a buy-off by the Republican Army, in fact, it is also very difficult for them to do, let alone the Republican Army.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"It is a good thing for us that trade in the north can be reopened, in terms of security, and in terms of our cavalry training plan, I personally suggest that it is necessary to transfer a newly established cavalry unit to the southern battlefield." Jia Xu said.

The trade between the Republican Army and the North proceeded smoothly, and the Republican Army received more than 500 military horses in the first trade, and the number of pack horses had exceeded 2,000. There may be more to come, but for the IRA, this is a great deal, as it means that they can expand more cavalry units in the future, which is a very good thing for them.

"Well, it is indeed necessary for us to increase the number of cavalry of the southern army, to increase their mobility, but can our cavalry conduct operations? At best, they were infantry on horseback. Shang Wu said worriedly.

"We can only try, or we can lower our training requirements and become the kind of cavalry unit we need most. Cheap, combat effectiveness can be quickly copied equipment. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded in agreement with such an opinion, and they had to give it a try. After all, it is still more difficult for cavalry to build.

Cavalry requires great horsemanship, but the Republicans can obtain such cavalry by simplifying their training.
