Dong Bai looked at the two of them coldly, indifferent to Dong Huang, who was about to be strangled.

Cai Yong was anxious, thinking that he was ordered to take these two people back, but if Niu Fu strangled Dong Huang to death, how would he explain to Dong Zhuo after he went back.

"General Niu, be merciful, be merciful!" Cai Yong shouted anxiously.

Niu Fu's eyes were bloodshot, he was carried away by anger, he couldn't listen to anything, the strength in his hands became bigger and bigger, and he used his strength to eat, so he had to kill Dong Huang.

Su Zhe had almost seen the show, so he waved his hand and said, "Che'er, go and separate them." ”

Hu Che'er got the order, strode forward, grabbed Niu Fu violently, and dragged him off Dong Huang's body and threw him on the ground with a slight force.

Dong Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

That Dong Huang escaped death at the last moment, struggled to turn over, lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Niu Fu, who was thrown to the ground, also suddenly came to his senses at this time, remembering his behavior of wanting to put Dong Huang to death in front of so many people, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed, and he was embarrassed for a while.

Su Zhe saw that they were almost panting, so he sneered: "I said Niu Fu, I just asked you to beat the other party, and I didn't ask you to kill the opponent, how much enmity you have with him, why do you have to strangle him." ”

Niu Fu was even more embarrassed and ashamed, his face was red for a while, and he didn't know how to respond.

After the sarcasm, Su Zhe flicked his hand and said, "Okay, it's not too early, you two should follow Mr. Cai, go back to Chang'an earlier, and let Mrs. Dong feel at ease as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.

Cai Yong, Niu Fu, and Dong Huang, who had just gasped, all looked at Su Zhe in astonishment, looking confused.

They were confused, didn't Su Zhe obviously let them decide who to let go by beating the other party?

Why is it that Niu Fu is fighting now, but Su Zhe has released both of them again, what is this foolish tossing?

Su Zhe smiled faintly and said: "I was just joking with you, you guys are serious, I promised Mr. Cai to let the two of you go, how can I, Su Zhe, break my word." ”

Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief, Fang knew that Su Zhe had made a joke with him, but looking at Dong Huang, who had a blue nose and swollen face and was almost killed, the joke was too big.

Dong Huang thought that if he lost, he would not be able to escape Su Zhe's clutches, and he was in pain and anxiety in his heart.

He struggled to get up, glared at Niu Fu hatefully, and complained with a face, as if to say: When we go back, see how I clean you up.

Niu Fu was depressed.

He thought that he had defeated Dong Huang, and he was the only one who went back to Chang'an, and even if Dong Huang wanted to complain to Dong Zhuo, it would be useless.

But now Su Zhe made a big joke, and even wanted to put Dong Huang back together, with Dong Huang's character, he almost strangled him to death, and it was strange that he could give up.

For a while, Niu Fu was both happy and worried, and he didn't dare to face Dong Huang's gaze.

"Okay, it's almost time, Mr. Cai, I won't send you." Su Zhe flicked his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.

Cai Yong was amnesty, and he couldn't wait to leave quickly, so he immediately said goodbye and hurried away with Niu Fu and Dong Huang.

Seeing these three people away, Su Zhe looked at Dong Bai and asked, "Bai'er, you won't blame me for doing this, right?" ”

"How so." Dong Bai looked disapproving, "My husband used a little trick to let me see their true colors, such ruthless and unrighteous so-called relatives, what does it matter to me whether they live or die." ”

Su Zhe could see that Dong Bai was sincere, it seemed that her heart was completely cold, and she planned to draw a line with the Dong family and be his Su Zhe's woman with peace of mind.

"That's fine, from now on, I can also rest easy, otherwise it will always be difficult to sleep with a person loyal to Dong Zhuo lying next to the pillow......"

Su Zhe was secretly happy, so he asked to send Dong Bai back to the room first.

As soon as Dong Bai walked on his front foot, Hu Che'er was puzzled: "Lord, what do you mean by what I said, didn't you say that only one of the two dog mongrels should be let go, why did you let them all go?" ”

"Didn't I say it, I, Su Zhe, will do what I say, I said that I would let the two of them go, so naturally I won't break my promise." Su Zhe didn't break it, and raised his glass to take a sip of wine.

"What, then isn't it for nothing, just to watch the two of them eat dogs......" Hu Che'er muttered, always understanding Su Zhe's deep meaning.

Dong Zhao on the side suddenly understood, and praised with a smile: "Su Che's trick is really clever, admire and admire." ”

"Gongren, tell me, where is Gao Ming?" Su Zhe looked at him with a smile.

Dong Zhao said: "After Su Cheqi let Niu Fu and Dong Huang fight to the death like this, the two of them must hate each other deeply, even if they are let go back, they will definitely fight each other to the death." ”

"One of them is Dong Zhuo's only nephew, and the other is Dong Zhuo's most trusted general, if they fight openly, it will definitely cause the Xiliang Army to fall into internal friction, weaken Dong Zhuo's strength from the inside, and make him have no time to deal with us."

"This, presumably, is the real purpose of Su Che Riding Fang's out."

After listening to his analysis, Su Zhe laughed and exclaimed: "Those who know me, Gongren also." ”

Hu Che'er suddenly realized, and shouted in surprise: "It turns out that the lord you want to call Dong Huang and Niu Fu to eat the dog after they go back, and call Dong Zhuo to live in peace, ouch, look at why I'm so stupid, why didn't I see it." ”

Su Zhe smiled again, drank a glass of wine, his eyes were full of slaughter, his eyes turned to the south, and he said coldly: "Dong Zhuoyan and the rest of the army, Cao Cao fought Tao Qian and Liu Bei in Xuzhou again, the threat from the north has been lifted, next, we will just wait for the spring of next year, concentrate all our forces to sweep away Liu Biao, and take Jingzhou all!" ”

……

In the next few months, Su Zhe collected and surrendered the pawns, and on the other hand, he built up the fields and accumulated grain and grass.

Due to the incorporation of the Baibo Army and a large number of Jingzhou soldiers, Su Zhe's strength at hand has exploded to nearly 70,000 in a short period of time.

Among them, in Luoyang, Su Zhe left Li Yan with nearly 10,000 horses to guard against Dong Zhuo.

In terms of Wancheng, Su Zhe left Su Fei with nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses to monitor the Son of Heaven and guard the capital.

In addition, with the remaining garrison in Xiangyang, the number of troops he was able to use to destroy Liu Biao reached 50,000.

This is also the first time that he has surpassed Liu Biao in terms of the number of troops.

Moreover, after defeating the Xiliang army, Su Zhe captured tens of thousands of war horses, and with these war horses, he was able to organize a cavalry force of nearly 4,000 people.

In a place like Jingzhou, four thousand iron horsemen are enough to be invincible, and no one can stop them.

In other words, Su Zhe's army, both in terms of quantity and quality, surpassed Liu Biao.

And with the passage of time, Su Zhe's advantage of taking up Tuntian last year has gradually been reflected, although he only owns half of the state, but the grain and grass produced by Tuntian is enough to support the consumption of his 70,000 troops.

I don't feel that winter goes to spring.

As soon as the spring ploughing was over, a large number of young people were drawn out of the fields and tens of thousands of grains and grass were transported to the front line in Xiangyang.

A few days later, in the name of the Son of Heaven, Su Zhe issued an edict to reprimand Liu Biao for being disrespectful to the imperial court and resentful, and ordered him to lead a large army to conquer.

So, Su Zhe took the righteous name of the Son of Heaven, raised an army of 55,000, and marched south out of Xiangyang to take Jiangling.

In terms of Xiakou, although Huang Zu was defeated before, after all, he still had more than 10,000 horses under his command, and he could take advantage of Su Zhe's army to go south at any time, and the sound of Xiangyang's emptiness could trace the Han River to the north and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and the rear in the north.

In order to prevent Liu Biao, Su Zhe ordered Gan Ning to lead 5,000 sailors from Fancheng to the south, and put on a posture of attacking Xiakou, forcing Huang Zu to shrink in Xiakou and not dare to act rashly.

In the positive direction, Su Zhe ordered Huang Chengyan to guard Xiangyang, and led the generals of Huangfu Song, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, and Hu Che'er to lead an army of 50,000 cavalry, and went south on Dangyang Avenue to Jiangling.

Everything was expected by Su Zhe.

Huang Zu on the Xiakou side was completely frightened by Gan Ning, ignored Liu Biao's orders, and could only retreat in Xiakou City, not daring to send troops.

In the frontal direction, Liu Biao did not dare to compete with Su Zhe, and the armies retreated step by step, constantly shrinking the defensive line in the direction of Jiangling City.

Su Zhe's army drove south, unstoppable, and within ten days, it broke through Dangyang and other counties along the way, and the army reached the city of Jiangling.

The battle of capturing Jiangling and taking Jingzhou began.
