"What can happen, fuss." Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly.

"According to the latest information, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict ordering Ma Teng Han Sui of Liangzhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou to send troops to attack us, and there are all kinds of signs that they are already preparing to use troops against us." Li Ru said, handing over a piece of silk information.

Dong Zhuo's face changed slightly, he snatched the silk book, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and it was really the same as what Li Ru said.

Dong Zhuo was so angry that his nostrils breathed fire, tore the silk book a few times, and scolded in his mouth: "His grandmother's, this must be Su Zhe's little rabbit cub, forcing Liu Xie's soft egg!" ”

The generals on the left and right of Xiliang were all shocked by this news.

Niu Fu said: "Taishi, Ma Chao and Han Sui, the two thieves, are quite prestigious in Liangzhou, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers available under their command, and most of them are brave and good at fighting. ”

"These two rabbit cubs, although they were repeatedly defeated by the old man, and the old man is not in Guanzhong now, they rebelled, and no one else can clean them up." Dong Zhuo was also a little jealous.

At this time, Li Ru stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the master, the son-in-law thinks that the two thieves of Ma and Han are exactly the best ones to clean up." ”

"Wen You has a clever plan?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up.

Li Ru said unhurriedly: "Although the strength of the two thieves of Ma and Han is not weak, their biggest flaw is that their strength is equal, and neither of them has absolute strength to overwhelm the other party, which is their biggest weakness." ”

"Dealing with these two people, as long as their interests conflict with each other, their alliance will collapse on its own, and naturally it will not pose a threat to us."

"Well, Wen You's right." Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, "Then Ma Teng and Han Sui have a hatred of killing their wives, if they weren't afraid of the old husband, they wouldn't give up their previous suspicions and join forces to dominate Liangzhou, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Ru sneered: "It's very simple, as far as the son-in-law knows, Na Ma Teng is inclined to submit to the imperial court, and then Han Sui wants to cut off Liangzhou, so the Taishi can send people to Liangzhou and promise to support Han Sui as the pastor of Liangzhou, in exchange for him not moving." ”

"Han Sui was unwilling to work for the imperial court, and now that he has received the promise of the Taishi, he will definitely deliberately delay and refuse to move troops."

"When the Taishi can release the news to Ma Teng again, he will say that Han Sui wants to swallow Ma Teng and dominate Liangzhou, and wants to borrow our hands to consume Ma Teng's soldiers and horses, and then take the opportunity to stab him."

"When Ma Teng heard the rumor and saw that Han Sui was slow to send troops, he would be suspicious, even if the two thieves didn't fight, I was afraid that they would be suspicious of each other, and no one would consume their strength, and the threat of Liangzhou would naturally be solved."

Li Ruyang sprinkled some words, and Dong Zhuo, who listened to it, nodded again and again, full of praise.

Syllable!

He patted Li Ru on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wen You, you can do it, you are worthy of being my first strategist in Xiliang, your strategy is very good, just do as you say, let Ma Teng and Han Sui eat dog." ”

Li Ru was born as a scribe and had a weak body, and when he was slapped like this by Dong Zhuo, his waist was weak, and he almost couldn't stand.

Receiving Dong Zhuo's appreciation, Li Ru hurriedly straightened up and said with a smile: "The master has won the award, and the carving insect is just a small skill, so why worry about it." ”

"Since this is the case, then you can make another small skill of carving insects, and return Cao Cao's kid to the old man." Dong Zhuo waited with great interest for Li Ru to offer another strategy.

"Well...... Li Ru frowned, his fingers rubbed his chin, and he was stumped for a while.

Obviously, in terms of dealing with Cao Cao, Li Ru can't come up with any clever plans.

Dong Zhuo's face sank suddenly, and he said unhappily: "Wen You, the old man has to remind you that Cao Cao's territory of the rabbit cub is next to Luoyang, the old man's battle to recapture the Son of Heaven this time, his threat to the old man is far better than that of Ma Han and the two thieves, if you can't retreat him, the old man's plan will be in vain, how serious the consequences are, you should be clear." ”

"Yes, yes, my son-in-law is already thinking, it's just that Cao Cao's people are really a bit difficult." Li Ru wiped the sweat stains on his forehead.

Dong Zhuo was patient and waited for Li Ru to offer a plan, but he only waited until Li Ru's face became more and more entangled, and he was silent for a long time.

Dong Zhuo's face became more and more ugly.

At this moment, Niu Fu's eyes rolled, but he said: "Taishi, Brother Wen You's wisdom is limited after all, he can think of the two thieves of Ma and Han, it is already very rare, and he can't think of how to retreat from Cao Cao, and he is also willing." ”

"Could it be that you have a solution?" Dong Zhuo's gaze turned to him.

Niu Fu hurriedly said: "The son-in-law is only good at using soldiers, but he is not good at using tricks, but the son-in-law can recommend a strategist to the Taishi, and this person may have a clever plan." ”

"Who is this counselor? How do you think so much? Dong Zhuo's face swelled with curiosity.

Niu Fu smiled and asked, "Have you heard of the Nine Wonders?" ”

Nine odds?

Dong Zhuo didn't expect him to suddenly bring up these two words, he was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said: "What you said, isn't it just that those idle hermit masters who are sore balls have formed a military division alliance and evaluated nine of the strongest strategists in the world, what are they called Jiuqi." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it." Niu Fu nodded.

At this time, Dong Bai, who had never participated in the military discussion, suddenly moved his eyes, "By the way, second uncle, that Su Zhe, isn't it Wolong, one of the Nine Wonders, and is he still known as the head of the Nine Wonders?" ”

"Bai'er has such a good memory, she can remember this." Niu Fu lost no time in patting Dong Bai, the fart of Dong Zhuo's favorite granddaughter.

Then he said disdainfully: "Although Su Zhe is known as the head of the Nine Wonders, but in my opinion, he may not really be worthy of the title of the first, it is said that the main initiator of this military division alliance is the Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, and this Su Zhe happens to be his student, maybe it is Sima Hui who protects his shortcomings and deliberately holds Su Zhe to the sky." ”

Dong Zhuo asked him how to retreat from Cao Cao, but he pulled out something Jiuqi, and Dong Zhuo's expression became a little impatient.

Niu Fu didn't dare to beat around the bush anymore, so he said: "That's the case, under the command of the son-in-law, there happens to be a strategist, who is one of the nine wonders evaluated by the military division league, named 'poisonous scorpion', and the son-in-law wants to use the wisdom of the nine wonders of this person, and he will definitely be able to come up with a clever plan to retreat from Cao Cao." ”

Hearing the name of the poisonous scorpion, Li Ru's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little jealous.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and exclaimed excitedly: "Under the old man, there is such a strange person hidden? What's his name? ”

"Hui Taishi, this person's surname is Jia Mingxu, and the words are harmonious." Niu Fu replied.

Dong Zhuo flicked his hand and couldn't wait to shout: "The old man doesn't care what he calls, why don't you call him to the old man soon." ”

Niu Fu got the order and hurriedly sent someone to find it.

Dong Zhuo returned to the city, paced at the city, and waited patiently for a while.

A moment later, a scribe who was over half white and had half white hair climbed up to the top of the city.

Dong Zhuo glanced over and saw that the scribe was about fifty years old, thin and thin, but his skin was very white, just like skin and bones, and the cheekbones on his face had protruded.

"Subordinate Jia Xu, meet the Taishi." He was still panting as he spoke, apparently out of strength, and he was tired enough to climb up the city.

He seems to have a hoarse voice, and he always speaks with a bit of a "hiss" sound, which makes Dong Zhuo involuntarily think of the strange sound when the snake spits out the letter.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but shudder.

After a pause, Dong Zhuo quickly returned to normal, and asked with a flick of his hand: "My son-in-law said that you are a plan of nine wonders, and your wisdom is extraordinary, and the old man passed you here to ask you to come up with a plan." ”

"That's all General Niu's false praise, and I don't dare to take it." Jia Xu is very humble.

Niu Fu smiled and said: "I said Wenhe, don't be humble, I know your ability, you can think of a clever plan, how to retreat Cao Cao's soldiers and horses." ”

Jia Xu's half-white eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze quickly swept everyone present.

Then, his eyes fell on Li Ru, and he laughed at himself: "With Lord Li, the first strategist of Xiliang, here, how dare the lower officials get an axe." ”

What he meant was naturally that he didn't want to be in the limelight in front of Li Ru and didn't want to offend people.

Niu Fu said disapprerovingly: "The Taishi called you here because he couldn't think of a way, so don't shirk it." ”

The corners of Li Ru's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Niu Fu unhappily.

"Well, this matter is very difficult, that Cao Cao is not an easy person to deal with, even Master Li has nothing to do, I'm afraid the lower officials can't do anything......" Jia Xu looked embarrassed.

Dong Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore, his face sank, and he said angrily: "Aren't you one of the Nine Wonders, you can't even solve such a small matter, are you still worthy of doing Nine Wonders!" ”

Jia Xu sighed bitterly: "What is the false name of Jiuqi, it is all imposed on the head of the lower officials by others, and the lower officials are only shallow in their studies, how can they afford it." ”

"You don't talk nonsense!"

Dong Zhuo was angry and said sharply: "The old man doesn't care if you can afford it or not, Niu Fu said that if you have a way, you must have a way, if you can't come up with a clever plan, the old man will slaughter you useless waste!" ”

Jia Xu's expression changed, and his brows quietly froze.

Niu Fu was also taken aback, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to have such a big temper, so he had to persuade in a low voice: "I said Wenhe, don't be modest anymore, hurry up and show some skills for the Taishi to see, otherwise your little life will be gone, what kind of temper the Taishi has, you should know." ”

Jia Xu sighed helplessly, slowly closed his eyes, stroked his half-white beard with one hand, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Jia Xu opened his eyes, and a treacherous cold glow flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he arched his hand and said: "Taishi, the lower official did think of a strategy to force Cao Cao back, but this strategy is a bit vicious, and the lower official doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"It doesn't matter if he's vicious or not, as long as it's useful, say it quickly." Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to flick his hand.

Jia Xu stepped forward, approached Dong Zhuo, and whispered in his ear.

Dong Zhuoyue's eyes became more and more excited when he heard this, and when Jia Xu finished speaking, he patted his shoulder fiercely, laughed and said: "Okay, you Jia Xu, you are worthy of being a poisonous scorpion, your strategy is really poisonous enough for his grandmother!" ”
