Looking at the excited Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Tian Yi were secretly shocked.

"Lord, didn't you say that you want to occupy Nanyang and Yingchuan?" Tian Yi asked in surprise, "Why did the lord suddenly change his mind?" ”

"I never changed my mind, it's just that you didn't understand what I meant." Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Why did Huangfu Song suggest that the Son of Heaven bestow Princess Wannian as the eldest princess? Why do you want to let the seven old ministers go from the eldest princess's mansion? Is it just to restrain Li Yi's power? ”

"Joke, there is no army, no force, why does the eldest princess restrain Li Yi's power? Look at me, who can restrain my power today? Li Yi is the same, no one can restrain him. There is only one way to restrain Li Yi, and that is to use the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess, and the prestige of the old ministers of Northern Xinjiang, to divide and win over the generals of Northern Xinjiang. And then what? Then they will take advantage of the loyalty of these northern generals to the Son of Heaven, and try to persuade them to abandon the northern Xinjiang and attack Chang'an. ”

"When I invited the Son of Heaven to worship nine generals and more than a dozen lieutenant generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army, why am I so generous? You didn't understand at the time, Hu Zhen, Niu Fu and others even lost their temper at me, thinking that I favored one over the other. What now? Now you take a look, aren't these nine generals who hold festivals and fake festivals exactly the objects of the eldest princess and those old ministers? Northern Xinjiang is not necessarily chaotic because of this, and Li Yi does not necessarily lose control of the generals in Northern Xinjiang because of this, but one thing is certain, Li Yi will be in a dilemma because of this. Is it to abandon the northern frontier and attack Chang'an? Or do you want to maintain checks and balances in northern Xinjiang? ”

"After I occupy the prefectures and counties of Jing and Henan, although I can get rid of the crisis in Gyeonggi, I will divide my troops and garrison them, which will lead to the emptiness of Chang'an. If Li Yi decides to abandon the northern frontier and attack Chang'an, what will I do? Don't forget, it was Huangfu Song's idea to give the eldest princess and send the old ministers into the Jin. In other words, a considerable number of people in the Chang'an court will become Li Yi's internal response. If this part of the people is not removed, the court will be uneasy. My life will be at risk. ”

"So I fought Hedong, lured Li Yi to Hedong, gave the eldest princess and the old ministers enough time to establish their own power, restrain and restrain Li Yi, so as to shake his determination and force him to fight Chang'an or Luoyang. In this way, I can not only drag Li Yi into a series of battles and consume his money and food, but also trigger internal strife in Northern Xinjiang and trap and kill the rebels in the Chang'an court. ”

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands violently. said excitedly: "A few months later, whether it is the military and government of Northern Xinjiang or the army of Northern Xinjiang, Li Yi can no longer speak with one voice. Although he can still control the overall situation, he is subject to too many constraints, like a tiger, losing his sharp teeth, it is enough to hurt people, but it takes a lot of trouble to kill people. ”

Dong Zhuo then waved his hand and smiled: "What will happen next?" Haha......"

"Li Yi has no money. There is no food left. Yuan Shao is the same. The many princes of Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou, the ant thieves of Montenegro and Baibo Valley...... Everyone, except us, they have no food. So......" Dong Zhuo smashed his fist on the desk and shouted loudly, "They are fighting, and our chance is here." Ha ha...... They killed each other, and to the end, the survivors were dying. With knives in hand, we can effortlessly kill all the way through and revive our Dahan Society. ”

Dong Zhuo looked around and said with a smug smile: "How is it...... What do you think? What about my idea? ”

Li Ru and Tian Yi looked at the fat and arrogant lord in front of them with great admiration, silently thinking about what he had just said, and were speechless for a while.

"So, the main purpose of the lord is to fight and merge states?" Tian Yi asked softly.

"I want to beat Yuan Shao." Dong Zhuo said triumphantly, "I'll fight both, I want them to quickly consume Jizhou's money and food, and then I'll see what they do?" They want to hit Luoyang? Want to fight Chang'an? Okay, okay, let's fight, I'll retract back into Guanzhong and give them a beating, but they always have to eat to fight, right? You've been worried that they'll form a three-way alliance to fight me, haha......"

"Why don't you want to think about it, this battle has been fought for more than half a year, how can they have the need for food to supply hundreds of thousands of troops for half a year? But they don't have so many troops, how can they defeat me? Ha ha...... Li Yi gave me half a year, and finally let me breathe, but they themselves were getting worse and worse. Compared to the beginning of the year, they are not much different from the homeless now. Haha, I'm poor? Am I poor? This month, there is a bumper harvest of grain in Guanzhong, and if I go south to grab it, I will be rich enough to rival the country. ”

"Haha......" Dong Zhuo looked at the two shocked subordinates, the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help laughing, "When it comes to fighting, you are much worse than me, haha......"

"My lord, the money and food of the Northern Army first need to be guaranteed, otherwise, if the lord does this, he will drink to quench his thirst and bring about his own death." Li Ru reminded, "We will definitely run out of grain in Guanzhong this year, and then we will not be able to replenish it until the spring wheat harvest in May next year." Therefore, this month, the main force of the army must go south to Jing and Henan to plunder. ”

"Yuan Shu's strength is limited, Kong Ling has no power to restrain the chicken, and only one Sun Jian is a little troublesome." Dong Zhuo said indifferently, "I asked Xu Rong to entangle Sun Jian, and let Zhang Xiu, Dong Yue, Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Li Meng dig three feet into the ground in the area of Nanyang and Yingchuan. With our existing 20,000 or 30,000 horses, in just one month, the money and grain of these two counties will be mine. “

Dong Zhuo pointed at Li Ru and said: "You go to Hujiao Pass to sit in the town, and while urging the army to cross the river to attack Hanoi, you can show me Zhang Miao who is left in the east!" ”

Then he said to Tian Yi: "Order Duan Xuan, Niu Fu and Fan Chou, and order them to attack a small attack in two days and a big attack in three days, and don't stop." This time I just want to provoke Li Yi and see what he can do with me? Fight with me, he is still a little tender. ”

………………

Tiger Prison Pass.

Stationed in the Tiger Prison is Wu Qiu Yi. In accordance with Li Ru's order, he set up a camp of several miles outside the pass with 5,000 people, pretending to be an army of 20,000 people, and intimidated Chen Liujun to guard Zhang Miao.

………………

At dusk that day, Zhu Jun quietly came to Jinyang and asked to meet Xu Da.

Zhu Jun carefully explained the current situation and said: "Dong Zhuo feigned to attack the party, in a vain attempt to drag down the general's forces, so as to take the opportunity to lead the main force of the northern army to the south and occupy Yingchuan and Nanyang. ”

Then he analyzed the consequences of Dong Zhuo's occupation of Yingchuan and Nanyang, and finally said: "I plan to launch a mutiny, kill Dong Zhuo, and never suffer in the future." ”

Xu Da had a cold face, and a cold murderous aura suddenly shot out from his narrowed eyes. A cold snort came out of his nose and he whispered, "Without the general's military order, I will never leave the pass one step." ”

Xu Da's cold arrogance and extreme distrust made Zhu Jun very annoyed in his heart, he held back his anger and continued to explain: "Dong Zhuo is now in Bi Guiyuan, with three thousand Xiliang Iron Horsemen and two thousand Tiger Ben Guards by his side. I plan to lead the army into Bi Guiyuan with General Wu Qiu Yi late at night, I don't know if General Xu is willing to help? ”

Xu Da shook his head and said, "It is impossible for me to lead the army south, because it is difficult to hide from Dong Zhuo's Hedong army, and it will not achieve the purpose of the raid." If we only lead a few elites south, once the two sides fall into a melee, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Xiu, Hu Zhen and others rush back to help, we will be surrounded and we will fall into a desperate situation. ”

Zhu Jun sneered: "The general is the general of Northern Xinjiang, is he so bold?" ”

Xu Da touched the short beard under his chin, and said calmly: "I have an eighty-year-old mother and a wife and children, and I am inevitably a little less courageous, ashamed, ashamed." ”

Zhu Jun glanced at Xu Da in a little surprise, and then he was not discouraged, and took the trouble to continue to analyze the situation for Xu Da, 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.

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

Zhu Jun said: "The general is the general of my Han Dynasty, he should focus on the society and the common people in the world, and he should send troops as soon as possible to eliminate traitors ...... the king."

Xu Da shook his hand, interrupted Zhu Jun's words, and said, "Zhu Yuanjun don't talk to me about social affairs, 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? What's in it for my father-in-law? ”

Zhu Jun's face changed slightly, and he did not 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 Yi thoroughly and knows that Li Yi is not his brother, and Li Yi will kill him sooner or later, so he will never give up today's opportunity to fight Li Yi.

In the past, Li Yi held a war knife and wanted to surround Dong Zhuo in the pass and gradually push him to a dead end, but now Dong Zhuo fought back. He gave Li Yi 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 Yi 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?

Xu Da's sentence stumped Zhu Jun, and he couldn't give Xu Da a reasonable explanation. Talk to him about the country? Obviously, Xu Da didn't care about any of this; Talk to him about Dong Qinwang? If Xu Da really meant this, he would have acted a long time ago. After all, now Xu Da is a general who holds the festival, and has the power given by the Son of Heaven to lead the army alone. Obviously, Xu Da now only cares about Northern Xinjiang, but his so-called lord Li Yi.

Zhu Jun's heart was as cold as ice. (To be continued.) )
