Chapter 1 Danger Chapter 24 Zhu Jun glanced at Yan Liang in a little surprise, and then was not discouraged, and continued to analyze the situation for Yan Liang tirelessly, explaining in detail the benefits of detaining Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang.

Although he was not absolutely sure of killing Dong Zhuo, he believed that as long as Luoyang was in chaos, Dong Zhuo would lose the best opportunity to go south to occupy Yingchuan and Nanyang.

Yan Liang sat there quietly, not in a hurry or impatient, looking like he was listening.

"My lord is the general of my Han Dynasty, he should focus on the community and the common people in the world, and he should send troops as soon as possible, and King Qin will be in addition to **......" Yan Liang shook his hand and interrupted Zhu Jun's words,

"Adults, don't talk to me about social welfare, what common people, I don't understand these things. I only want to ask you one thing, what is the benefit of leaving the main force of Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang for Northern Xinjiang? Can Wu Xiong and the Northern Xinjiang soldiers stationed at Mengjin and Xiaopingjin passes temporarily get rid of the danger of annihilation? Zhu Jun's face changed slightly and he didn't speak.

If Dong Zhuo couldn't occupy Yingchuan and Nanyang, and couldn't grasp the initiative to the greatest extent, he would probably destroy the Kanto region in a fit of rage, destroy the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and die together with the Han Society.

Today's situation is different from the situation at the beginning of the year, and today's Dong Zhuo has also seen Li Hong thoroughly and knows that Li Hong is not his brother, and Li Hong will kill him sooner or later, so he will never give up today's opportunity to hit Li Hong.

In the past, Li Hong held a war knife and wanted to surround Dong Zhuo in the pass and gradually drive him to a dead end, but now Dong Zhuo fought back.

He gave Li Hong a stick to the waist and completely cut off the connection between Northern Xinjiang and Jing and Henan. In order to survive, the northern frontier must attack Luoyang.

In other words, if Dong Zhuo's main force is left in Luoyang, the two will fight to the death, and this is exactly the result that Zhu Jun is willing to see.

If Li Hong doesn't turn his face with Dong Zhuo and defeat Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, how can Chang'an be captured? When will the great cause of Qinwang Zhongxing be realized?

Yan Liang's sentence stumped Zhu Jun, and he couldn't give Yan Liang a reasonable explanation.

"I am far more aware of the affairs of Northern Xinjiang than adults." Yan Liang looked at Zhu Jun, who was speechless for a long time, and said,

"There is no money and food to fight in northern Xinjiang, this was the case at the beginning of the year, and it is still like this now. If the northern frontier wants to fight, unless the general can make up his mind to abandon the northern frontier. Adults should know why the Yellow Turban Riot broke out in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou. The riots began in March and continue to the present. The wars in various places continued, the lives were devastated, the people were miserable, and the community was devastated. Why is this happening? It may seem that the cause is that the two floods in Tunian and last year displaced millions of people and left them homeless, but what is the real cause? It's Yuan Shao, it's Dong Dajun, it's the rebellion of those big men. In order to fight the war, the rebels not only robbed the imperial court of the relief given to the victims of the disaster in the three states, but also wantonly plundered the money and grain of the three states, and as a result, the people had no way to live, so they had to rise up. If they hadn't raised troops to fight Dong to attack Luoyang, even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou, it would not have caused a catastrophe like the current one. ”

"Northern Xinjiang faces the same problem. More than 2 million displaced people were resettled in the 16 counties of northern Xinjiang, and as soon as the general decided to send troops to fight, these people immediately ran out of food and had no way to live. What will they do today when the Yellow Turban Army is wreaking havoc on the world's states and counties? They will not hesitate to join the ranks of the riots, and then rush to Jizhou, rush to the Central Plains......" Yan Liang sneered,

"My lord, I would like to ask, in this case, can the northern Xinjiang still be saved? Can the community still be saved? ”

"I don't understand why Yuan Shao's gang is crusading against Dong Zhuo? Especially when my great man was greatly injured by the expedition to the desert. Dong Zhuo may be the best of my Han dynasty, but the disaster is not Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao and those rebels. It should be them who are being crusaded, not Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao and those rebels dragged my big man into the abyss of defeat. ”

"Therefore, whether it is from Sheji or Northern Xinjiang, the general will not take the initiative to attack Dong Zhuo for the time being. Even if Dong Zhuo wanted to fight Hedong and our Northern Frontier Army stationed in Luoyang for various reasons, the general would not respond to the battle, and he would never attack Luoyang and Chang'an at the cost of abandoning Northern Xinjiang. The general is not Dong Zhuo, nor Yuan Shao, in his mind, the lives of the people are his lives, and he will not abandon any life in northern Xinjiang for his own selfish interests. ”

"What if it's for the Son of Heaven and for the sake of the Han Society?" Zhu Jun immediately asked.

"The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, intact. What is Sheji? I don't know, but I know that if there are no people in the world, there will be no so-called social society. Why is it that the lives of thousands of people in the world are not as good as the invisible and untouchable social society? Why? Yan Liang asked sharply.

Zhu Jun opened his mouth and was speechless. After a long time, Zhu Jun stood up with a calm expression, and arched his hand and said, "The general is good at himself." ”

"Your Excellency is leaving?" Zhu Jun nodded and turned around to walk. Yan Liang waved at the guards standing beside him,

"Send the adults down to rest." Zhu Jun Huoran turned around and said angrily: "You dare to detain me? Yan Liang sighed,

"Your Excellency, let's stay in the Tiger Prison for the time being, it's safe here." The rebellious general Li Ru was ordered to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass to supervise the battle.

Captain Wu Qiu Yi and several military commanders rushed to meet them outside the gate. Wu Qiu Yi is in his forties, not tall, very strong, with a round and chubby face, a pair of majestic eyes, his expression is always very serious, there is no smile, even if he meets Shangguan, he can't see the slightest flattery on his face.

Li Ru was very cold to Wu Qiu Yi, and after a casual greeting, the two of them strode towards the camp one after the other.

"What's going on in Tiger Prison?"

"Nope." Wu Qiu Yi replied,

"Yan Liang did not show any signs of withdrawing troops."

"Withdrawal?" Li Ru looked back, with a look of disdain,

"It turns out that the adults expect Yan Liang to retreat without a fight and give you the Tiger Prison for nothing? No wonder you haven't launched an attack on Tiger Prison until today. I don't think you want to stay in Luoyang anymore. A trace of anger flashed in Wu Qiu Yi's eyes, but there was no expression on his face,

"These soldiers were recruited by me from Xuzhou, and they all followed me to Luoyang to protect their families and defend the country, they are the northern army of the Han Dynasty, not the northern army of Lord Xiangguo, and not the northern army of the general. The Northern Xinjiang Army went on an expedition to the desert and made great contributions to the Han Kingdom, could it be that just by the words of the general, I ordered the soldiers to attack them? What is the charge? Li Ru stopped, slowly turned to look at Wu Qiu Yi,

"My lord, I didn't hear that today. Lord Xiangguo has arrived in Luoyang. If you hear this sentence to him, you should know what the consequences are. Wu Qiu Yi sneered.

"I brought the Son of Heaven's decree." Li Ru raised his head slightly, his expression was cold,

"The Great General and Yuan Shao. Han Fu and others rebelled in collusion with each other to conspire to depose the Son of Heaven and cause chaos to the dynasty. Is this crime serious? Shouldn't Lord Wu immediately attack the Tiger Prison Pass and defend Gyeonggi? Wu Qiu Yi took a step back, looked at each other with several of his subordinates, and hesitated.

"Discuss and see when to attack. And when they had consulted, they came to me in the big tent. Li Ru turned around and strode towards the Chinese army's tent with fifty guards.

Wu Qiu Yi looked at Li Ru's arrogant back, slowly narrowed his eyes, and the muscles on his face involuntarily shook twice.

Two of Li Ru's guards lifted the tent curtain and found that the big tent was full of junior officers of the Northern Army, about twenty of them, arguing loudly about something.

"Don't you see the military discussion here? Get the hell out of here. A soldier glared and shouted,

"Whose guards are you? Blind dog's eye? The two guards were stunned by the momentum of the military waiter, and were stunned for a moment, and one of them suddenly reacted and scolded loudly: "The rebellious general is coming, who dares to make noise in the big tent?" Do you want to die? ”

"Scare me with the rebel general? You think Lao Tzu is scared. When the soldier saw that a soldier dared to confront him in front of him, he was immediately angry, drew his sword and rushed forward.

"Lao Tzu chopped you." Li Ru walked in at the right time, and several personal guards were guarding him and rushed in. When the soldier saw Li Ru, he suddenly froze his figure.

There was silence in the tent for a moment. Li Ru slowly glanced at everyone and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" The soldier with the knife in his hand suddenly grinned and said softly, "Kill you." Before the words fell, there was a sudden roar in the big tent, and a terrible scream rose to the sky, and several sturdy bodies flew upside down like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Li Ru's emaciated body trembled again and again, and the severe pain hit his heart and lungs, and the huge impact on him pushed him back several steps, and then he flew up, he tried his best to shout, to relieve his pain, but he didn't hear anything.

He felt like a feather floating in the air, and he tried to keep his eyes open, and one last glance at the white clouds in the sky fell heavily to the ground, dead.

Li Ru's dozens of guards were instantly pierced by thousands of long arrows, blood overflowed, and corpses were piled up all over the withered yellow grass outside the big tent.

Wu Qiu Yi walked to Li Ru's corpse with an expressionless face, raised his foot and kicked Li Ru's bloodstained head,

"Cut it down, wipe it clean, and send it to the Tiger Prison." On the desk, Li Ru's head was placed upright on a lacquer plate, and the great pain he suffered before his death could still be seen on his pale face.

Yan Liang bent over and looked at Li Ru's head carefully, as if admiring a priceless treasure.

Li Ru died, the Northern Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army broke completely, and the Great Battle of Luoyang began. Zhu Jun was so ruthless, seeing that persuasion was ineffective, he simply put a knife on his neck and forced himself to do it.

If you don't do it, you have to do it. Zhu Jun is also called King Qin, save Sheji? Yan Liang couldn't figure it out, what was the difference between Zhu Jun and Dong Zhuo when he did this?

Dong Zhuo doesn't care about the survival of the people in the world, how can Zhu Jun care about the lives of the people in the world? When Zhu Jun killed the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan and Nanyang, he killed tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, and he didn't blink his eyes, now, how could he care about the northern Xinjiang?

Gu Xi Gyeonggi? In Zhu Jun's heart, there is only the Son of Heaven who doesn't understand the world, the dilapidated court, and the invisible and untouchable Sheji.

As for anything else, like the head in front of us, it is just a passing cloud of smoke, something that can be used and sacrificed.

Yan Liang stretched out his hand to pat Li Ru's cold face, remembering the past years of fighting in Western Xinjiang, he couldn't help but sigh.

Why did Li Ru die? For whom to die? Zhu Jun, you dragged the northern Xinjiang into the war in Luoyang, what good is this for the Han?

The sound of heavy footsteps came from far and near, Yan Liang stood up straight, staring at Zhu Jun who strode into the lobby, murderous.

Zhu Jun glanced lightly at the heads on the desk, and then asked, "My lord has decided?" Yan Liang really wanted to roar loudly to vent the anger in his heart, but he tried his best to hold back, he snorted heavily, pointed to Li Ru's head and asked, "Is this an adult's clever plan?" Zhu Jun shook his head,

"It's just a coincidence, I don't know about it. What is the general going to do? When will the attack be on Bikyuen? Yan Liang vigorously spread out the map on the table, pointed to Yingchuan and said: "Wuqiu Yi's army immediately withdrew from the tiger prison and attacked in the direction of Yangzhai in order to support Yuzhou Mu Kongling, defeat Hu Zhen and Li Meng, and protect Yuzhou County." Zhu Jun immediately vetoed it,

"No, immediately concentrate the main force to attack Bi Guiyuan. As I said, even if we can't kill Dong Zhuo, we can force Dong Zhuo to quickly return to Luoyang with troops from Hongnong County and Henan Yin. As long as the armies of Niu Fu, Lü Bu and Hu Zhen were concentrated in Luoyang. Hedong, Nanyang and Yingchuan will also be safe. Yan Liang resolutely refused.

Luoyang had an army of more than 20,000 people, and his own army and Wuqiu Yi's army together were only 9,000 people.

Excluding the troops stationed at the pass and stationed in Xingyang, the army that can participate in the attack on Dong Zhuo will not exceed 7,000 at most.

Due to the disparity in the strength of the two sides, Yan Liang believed that it was impossible for his side to inflict heavy losses on Dong Zhuo, let alone force Dong Zhuo to order the transfer of troops from all over the country to return for reinforcements.

"Do you think Dong Zhuo is an idiot? Don't forget, Dong Zhuo is a fierce general who has been on the battlefield for decades. Yan Liang said,

"I don't have this ability, if the adults have this ability, please attack Dong Zhuo with Wu Qiuyi. I will defend your retreat to ensure that after you are defeated by Dong Zhuo, you can safely withdraw to the Tiger Prison. Zhu Jun knew that he couldn't convince Yan Liang, so he hurriedly went out of the customs to discuss with Wu Qiu Yi.

Tian Chou returned from Yuzhou. He was ordered by Li Hong to buy grain in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, but as soon as the autumn harvest began, Dong Zhuo launched an attack.

If you want to buy grain, you must first ensure the stability of the two prefectures, especially the stability of Yingchuan and Nanyang counties.

If the grain in these two counties was robbed to Dong Zhuo, the armies of Yuan Shu, Kong Ling, Sun Jian and others would not be able to protect themselves, and they would not have any more grain to sell to Northern Xinjiang anyway.

Tian Chou hurriedly returned to the Tiger Prison just to understand the current situation, to meet Li Ru, and to report to Li Hong urgently, asking him to put pressure on Dong Zhuo in Chang'an.

However, the first thing he saw was Li Ru's head, which made him fall into an ice cellar.

"Brother Zishan, what are you doing here? Why did you kill Li Ru? Yan Liang smiled bitterly and explained the crisis in Luoyang in detail,

"Zhu Jun has made us miserable, and we have to fight if we don't fight now."

"Before I left Hedong to Luoyang, the general repeatedly instructed me to ensure the balance and ensure the connection between Northern Xinjiang and Jing and Henan, but I have not done anything now." Yan Liang said dejectedly,

"Zhu Jun said that Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, and the Northern Army was attacking Hedong, attacking Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, but I have not received any accurate information so far. Zitai, is Zhu Jun lying to us? Did he deliberately want to break the balance and let Dong Zhuo fight with us? Tian Chou looked at Li Ru's head blankly and didn't say a word.

"Since Wuqiu Yibing besieged the Tiger Prison, our husband went to contact the general, and we also lost the news of Wu Xiong." Yan Liang walked around the lobby with his hands behind his back, impatient,

"Although we have news that Lu Bu and Hu Zhen went south out of the pass and led the army to attack and plunder, this does not prove that Zhu Jun's words are true. If all this is Zhu Jun's ploy to destroy the trend of checks and balances, and it is a means to trick us into being fooled, then how will we explain to the general in the future? Tian Chou thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "The arrow has been wound, and there is no way to retreat, so we can only join forces with Zhu Jun to attack Dong Zhuo." Yan Liang's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said very worriedly: "This fight, even if we fail, it will only be a retreat from the tiger prison, or retreat to Yuzhou to meet Kong Ling and Sun Jian, but the northern Xinjiang will be in trouble." According to the current situation in northern Xinjiang, after we fell out with Dong Zhuo, the general was bound to seize Luoyang in order to open up the connection with Jing and Henan. However, now that the troops in northern Xinjiang are insufficient, there is a shortage of money and food, and it is impossible for the general to capture Luoyang in the short term. As time passed, the northern frontier became more and more difficult, and the possibility of attacking Luoyang became smaller and smaller. ”

"If the general can get the money and food support from Jizhou, and can quickly recruit the Saiwai army to the south, then around March next year, the general can cross the river to attack." Tian Chou patted Li Ru's head,

"As soon as Li Ru died, there was no way out in northern Xinjiang but to capture Luoyang. Brother Zishan, don't think too much, we are worthy of Northern Xinjiang and Sheji, and if the general wants to kill us in the future, he will have to kill him. Yan Liang smiled helplessly and shouted loudly: "Come on, please Lord Zhu Jun enter the customs." "The latest news was sent from Luoyang, and early this morning, Dong Zhuo went to Mengjin Pass to supervise the battle.

Zhu Jun immediately proposed that Sun Luan lead 1,000 men to guard Tiger Prison Pass and Xingyang. Wuqiu Yi and Tian Chou led 3,000 people to attack Bi Gui Yuan, and moved all the grain and grass hoarded in Bi Gui Yuan to Xingyang.

He and Yan Liang led an army of 5,000 to attack Mengjin. Yan Liangyan obeyed, and led the army to Luoyang at dusk that day.
