After the court meeting, Dong Zhuo invited Liu Zhang to his residence.
Now that the rebels are gradually approaching, Dong Zhuo must also start to make a strong deployment.
"General Wei, it's really abominable that the two Yuans rebelled against the imperial court, but they have a strong military and we have to guard against them!"
"Right now, Yuan Shao has gathered the governors from all the counties in Guandong and is preparing to join forces! Yuan Shu is even more daring and even killed Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang sent by our family! Now he and the traitor Sun Jian are stationed in Luyang! General Wei can conquer
If you are good at fighting, you might as well give our family an idea!"
Liu Zhang did not answer immediately, but fell into thinking.
If based on historical experience, Yuan Shao would stop at Suanzao and Yuan Shu would stop at Luyang, but who can guarantee that these two people will not join the army out of a sudden thought?
What makes Liu Zhang most uncomfortable now is that he not only has to face the threat of Er Yuan, but also has to guard against the threat of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, and the Baibo Army of Hedong! It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation as being besieged on all sides!
After much thought, Liu Zhang decided to let Dong Zhuo take the initiative! If he couldn't defeat him, it was too late to run away.
"Dong Xiangguo, the bandit army is so powerful that we must not allow Yuan and Yuan to join forces together! It is better to attack them one by one while they haven't joined forces yet!"
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, he also meant the same thing, but the choice of the person to attack was the big problem.
"What General Wei said is absolutely true! It's just that there are reinforcements from rebels in Hanoi and Hedong, and our family really can't be prepared!"
"What does Dong Xiangguo mean?"
"Our family is planning to let General Niu Fu under his command defend the rebels in Hanoi and Hedong, but one of the two Yuans has to ask General Wei!"
Liu Zhang knew that Dong Zhuo would never send out all his troops and allow him to stay in Luoyang, so he had already thought of this request.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Dong Xiangguo to send troops to defeat Yuan Shu, and I will go to Hulao Pass to stop Yuan Shao's coalition of princes."
Dong Zhuo was immediately overjoyed. His biggest expectation was that Liu Zhang could fight against his enemy Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao had a coalition of counties under his command, and Yuan Shu only had Sun Jian!
"Thank you so much, General Wei. When the rebels are defeated, I will definitely ask for credit from Your Majesty for General Wei!"
Dong Zhuo's request for credit was not just a casual talk. Now his words are tantamount to the emperor's imperial edict!
"Thank you very much, Dong Xiangguo, but please don't forget what I said to Mr. Li Ru a few days ago!"
Liu Zhang didn't like others painting pie cakes for him, so he reminded Dong Zhuo directly.
"Don't worry, General Wei! The angel is already on the way, there will definitely be no problems!"
"In that case, Liu Zhang will take his leave first!"
Dong Zhuo quickly stood up to see him off and gave him instructions again.
"Please also ask General Wei to send troops as soon as possible to defeat Yuan Shao's traitors as soon as possible!"
After sending Liu Zhang away, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned all his generals.
After half a year of development, Dong Zhuo had not only Li Jue and Guo Si under his command, but also many heroes from Liangzhou, Sanfu, and Hedong were vying to join him.
Niu Fu, like Li Ru, was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. After Dong Zhuo took control of the court, he came to join him from the Third Fu and brought many soldiers, horses and generals! Among them, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong and others are not easy to compare!
After Liangzhou was recruited by Dong Zhuo, many heroes came to defect to Dong Zhuo. Among them, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc. did not come alone, but more or less came with soldiers and horses!
Among these people who took refuge, the most outstanding person was Xu Rong from Xuantu County, a native of Liaodong. His ability in leading troops was extraordinary and he was highly valued by Dong Zhuo.
The number of soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo is not comparable to that of half a year ago, and there are already nearly 100,000 people! This is why Dong Zhuo dares to use Liu Zhang!
"Generals, the counties are rebelling right now, but the leader is nothing more than Er Yuan! As long as we kill Er Yuan, then the world's heroes will not have anything to worry about, and they will naturally surrender to our family!"
Looking at the generals who had filled the hall, Dong Zhuo felt proud. To describe it as a "bundling of talents" is definitely not an overstatement!
"Father, don't worry, I regard the two Yuans as nothing more than a piece of grass! Killing them is like slaughtering a pig or a sheep! My son is willing to lead the Bingzhou army to fight, and I will offer the heads of the two Yuans under my tent!"
Lu Bu stood up first and made some bold words!
At present, Dong Zhuo's power is becoming more and more complex, and there are more factions. Lu Bu himself is not good at talking to others, and his relationship with Dong Zhuo's generals is naturally not very good! Fortunately, with 30,000 Bingzhou troops at hand, most people do not dare to provoke him
.
However, most of these people were from Liangzhou or Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, and they were not very friendly to an outsider like Lu Bu! Especially Dong Zhuo's favor for Lu Bu aroused everyone's jealousy! This also forced Lu Bu to be eager to express himself.
"Hahaha, okay! I'm here to serve you first, so you can sit back and relax!"
Dong Zhuo still can't forget the scene of Lu Bu challenging Liu Zhang's two generals. Having Lu Bu there really made people feel reassured!
"How can you kill a chicken with an ox-knife? If General Lu doesn't take action, the last general can capture and kill the two Yuans!"
As expected, Dong Zhuo's praise of Lu Bu aroused dissatisfaction among his old men. Hua Xiong stood up and glanced at Lu Bu lightly.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands.
Hua Xiong seemed to be flattering him, but in fact he didn't give him any chance to make meritorious deeds!
Lu Bu has been putting up with it for a long time, and Hua Xiong has provoked him more than once! Lu Bu is confident that he can crush this kind of trash with one hand!
"General Hua, don't play with your life!"
With Dong Zhuo present, Lu Bu naturally did not dare to get angry and could only make a vague mockery.
"Hmph! Killing Er Yuan is like killing a chicken!"
Hua Xiong went too far. Lu Bu described it as slaughtering pigs and sheep, but Hua Xiong said it was killing chickens! Obviously he didn't take Lu Bu seriously!
"you!"
Just as Lu Bu was about to get angry, Dong Zhuo immediately stopped the quarrel between the two.
"Okay, now that we are facing a huge enemy, what's the fuss about?"
Not only was Lu Bu afraid of Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong was even more afraid to death. When he saw Dong Zhuo being angry, he immediately shrank.
"Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong obey your orders!"
Another person walked out of the crowd, and he looked quite strong.
"The end is here!"
"Our family will appoint Hu Zhen as the Commander-in-Chief of Defeating Thieves, Lu Bu as Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Hua Xiong as the vanguard of the front army. We will command 30,000 troops and go to Luyang to fight Yuan Shu! Remember, the two traitors Yuan Shu and Sun Jian both have some grudges with our family.
, don’t let him go!”
Hu Zhen was immediately overjoyed. The position of governor was extraordinary and had absolute rights before the war! The most relieved thing was that Lu Bu had to take orders from him!
"The final general will definitely live up to his mission! Yuan Shu will be killed and Sun Jian's head will be presented to the Prime Minister!"
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction. Compared with Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, there is no doubt that Dong Zhuo trusts Hu Zhen more. After all, he is a direct descendant of his Northwest faction!
"My son, I'll have a great time cooperating with General Hu this time. Don't act out of anger!"
Dong Zhuo took great pains to arrange this. The Liangzhou faction and the Bingzhou faction under his command were fighting endlessly, which gave him quite a headache. Dong Zhuo hoped to use the opportunity of this expedition to completely integrate the two parties.
"My child obeys the order and will definitely cooperate with General Hu!"
Lu Bu's expression was relatively calm, and there was no obvious dissatisfaction, but it was unclear what he was thinking.
