Chapter 307

Hu Cai led more than 2000 remnant troops and fled into Anyi city. On the one hand, Hu Cai held fast and at the same time sent a sentry to Baibo Valley to ask the other generals of the white wave army for help.

Fearing that there would be too many casualties in the forced attack, Zhang jaw commanded the captured white wave thieves to dig two gaps outside Anyi city to prevent the enemy from breaking through at night.

As Pound's headquarters had been seen through by the enemy, Duan simmer began to send out troops to explore under the command of Dong Zhuo. With the cooperation of infantry and cavalry, the cavalry pursued and soldiers surrounded and intercepted.

In fact, Liu Ye was well prepared. After ordering Ma Chao to cross the Weihe River to break through Tongguan, he revealed his main attack direction, and immediately summoned pound to lead the army and people to plunder the local people and retreat.

After returning to Guanzhong with civilian escort, general pound couldn't resist his interest. He immediately led 5000 iron cavalry to the south again, just in time to join Zhang's headquarters. As Zhang's official residence was General Annan, and pound was just a middle general, Zhang jaw was the main general to control the 13000 troops in Anyi.

In fact, this time the white wave bandits invaded Hexi county is not groundless.

Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, took the emperor and forced 400000 people to move to Bingzhou. With Jinyang (later Taiyuan) as the secondary capital, he announced that the emperor would move the capital. He recruited civilian men in Jinyang City, built large-scale construction projects and built palaces. After all, the emperor always had to settle down.

However, compared with the establishment of a chieftain for the little emperor Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo recruited more private men to build a magnificent fortress in more than ten miles outside Jinyang.

Dong Zhuo has stored countless treasures from Luoyang City, plundering rich families and excavating imperial mausoleum. This fortress is named "Mei Wu" by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo also said: if things succeed, we should send troops to win the world; if things don't succeed, we can live forever.

However, Dong Zhuo collected a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but he didn't know how to distribute them to his generals. Many people in his army resented Dong Zhuo's stinginess. After all, the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin that Dong Zhuo received from the imperial court before were all given to his officers and men, but now they are nothing.

Aware of the dissatisfaction of the officers and men in the army, Li Ru went straight to Meiwu.

"Prime minister, we fight for the prime minister only because the prime minister is open and forthright, hoping to get the reward from the prime minister. Now that the prime minister has so many treasures in his hand, how can we not reward them to the officers and men?"

After all, Li Ru was a think tank in the army. Although Dong Zhuo was not willing to share the treasures in Meiwu, he still gave some of the treasures to his generals.

But Li Ru also said: "although the prime minister still has 100000 troops under him, Bingzhou is desolate. Even if the people who are captured from Luoyang are not a million people, how can we afford to support 100000 troops?"

Dong Zhuo frowns. Naturally, he doesn't want to shrink away from Bingzhou, but he is afraid of being beaten by Liu Ye.

At this time, Li Ru proposed: "the white wave bandits have always occupied Hedong and Hanoi, and from time to time they still come to the Shangdang to plunder them. Does the prime minister want to solve the enemy forces?"

Dong Zhuo worried: "the white wave thieves heard that there were hundreds of thousands of them. Even if only 41 of them were young and strong, there were 560000 soldiers to fight against. How could our army lose so much in Guanluo?"

As a matter of fact, it is not difficult for Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers, together with powerful generals such as Li Zhen and Guo Si, to break down the white wave thieves. However, once the war starts, it will be a year and a half at least, and Dong Zhuo certainly can't afford it.

Li Ru said with a smile, "it's better to introduce disaster to the East."

"Bringing disaster to the east?" Dong Zhuo looks puzzled.

"Liu Ye has a strong character. Naturally, he can't tolerate the white wave bandit hanging on the head of Luoyang City. Our army just needs to make a little bit of seduction to make a big profit. At the same time, we should explain the reason to the white wave thief. The white wave thief must fight Liu Ye fiercely, and can become a shield to prevent Liu Ye's army from advancing eastward. Liu Ye and Bai Bo army are like two tigers fighting each other, and the prime minister can be Bian Zhuangzi."

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo immediately nodded: "reasonable, reasonable!"

Before Li Ru finished, he said, "in addition, since the white wave thieves come to Shangdang from time to time, our army must place heavy generals in order to deter the white wave thieves. Please send the Bingzhou army led by Wen hou to Shangdang and enter Huguan to frighten Yuan Shao and Baibo thieves."

The key reason why Li Ru put forward strategies was accepted by Dong Zhuo. The key reason is that he and Dong Zhuo get along with each other day and night, and they know their father-in-law too well.

In the past, Dong Zhuo had a strong army. Although he was a little afraid of Lv Bu's military front, he was still able to reuse it. After all, even if Lv Bu rebelled, he could suppress it by force.

However, with the death of Niu Fu and Dong min, Tongguan and Wuguan were lost, and a total of 40000 troops were killed. Dong Zhuo's troops were reduced. Naturally, he was very afraid of Lv Bu and was quite on guard.

In this case, it is advisable to lower Lv Bu to the upper party. On the one hand, it can frighten Yuan Shao and other chaotic parties in the East; on the other hand, it can awe the white wave bandits and keep away from themselves. This is quite good.

Seeing the look on Dong Zhuo's face, Li Ru said again, "but please reward the Marquis Wen with gold, silver and jewelry, so as not to complain."It doesn't matter if Lv Bu is driven away. The key is not to let Lv Bu be unwilling. Now it is a state of internal and external difficulties. If Lv Bu revolts, Dong Zhuo Zhen will be doomed.

When he heard that he would give a lot of money to the white wave thief and to give Lv Bu gold, silver and jewels, Dong Zhuo was deeply distressed. However, seeing Li Ru's firm face, he had no choice but to agree.

So, two groups of envoys came out of Taiyuan city and headed for Baibo Valley in Hedong and Lvbu military camp outside the city, carrying a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

In the lub barracks.

Dong Zhuo's envoy had just been sent away, and Gao Shun, who was always silent, immediately objected.

"Wenhou! Our army was used by Dong Zhuo before, but it was just a matter of necessity. Now that we have returned to Bingzhou, why do we have to listen to Dong Zhuo? "

Zhang Liao nodded: "yes, since we have returned to our hometown, our army has no worries. We might as well go north to recover Wuyuan and Yanmen counties and expel the South Xiongnu."

Wuyuan is Lv Bu's hometown, Yanmen is Zhang Liao's hometown, Zhang Liao naturally does not want to leave his hometown.

Lu Bu, a tall man with a deep face, shook his head slowly.

"Dong Zhuo's old thief has been staring at our army. Duan Bian and Li Zhen's barracks are attacking our army. If there is any change, we will inevitably suffer from it. I think we should follow Dong Zhuo's advice and go to Shangdang for the time being, and it will not be too late."

Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu had their own thoughts and schemed with each other.
