Luoyang, the imperial palace.

After leaving the Jiade Hall and saying goodbye to the ministers who came to say hello, Li Ru smiled and looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Enjoyed Father, this is the latest news from Ye Hou. Sun Jian and Cao Cao's two troops rushed to Xingyang, and our expectations were not bad."

"Can you confirm?" Dong Zhuo was always a little worried about Ye Zhao.

"It can be basically confirmed that the main force of the coalition forces is still crossing the river. In Yehou's opinion, before the coalition forces arrive, we will slash the spirit of the coalition forces again, and then abandon Xingyang and transfer the troops to Hulao Pass. We can free up our hands and destroy the King Chen Liu Chong first!"

Although the coalition of princes was powerful, it was actually not justified. What was really worrying, if you tie it up, the coalition of princes of Guandong could actually be considered a rebellion. On the contrary, King Chen might not be as powerful as other princes, but he was the only Han clan relative in the coalition of princes who responded to the call and personally led his troops.

No matter what King Chen was thinking, he did this, which was equivalent to giving the coalition a legal identity. In addition, the main alliance (the key points are Liu Bei, not the leader) was considered a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he was also a subordinate of Liu Yu. If he continued to develop like this, the momentum would change.

Sometimes the two armies fought, especially in this battle, where almost most of the princes in the world participated in, it was not just a competition of troops, food and grass, righteousness, people's hearts, or the right time, place and people. Now, no matter whether Dong Zhuo's decree and enactment should be done, at least Dong Zhuo held the imperial power, to a certain extent, he was in control of great justice. If he used it well, he would be in charge of the emperor to command the princes.

This is why the princes kept slandering Dong Zhuo in public opinion during this period, such as sleeping in the dragon bed at night and filthing the palace. In fact, just think about it carefully, you can find the ridiculousness of this matter.

One by one, the princes who were hundreds of miles away from Luoyang could tell the things that happened in Luoyang with a slight and slightest. What is it that they spread rumors?

Therefore, King Chen and Liu Chong must die. Now he is struggling in Yique Pass. It is only because Dong Zhuo's main force is still confronting the coalition forces of the princes in the Hulao Pass area, and he cannot take action to deal with him. After all, in terms of military strength, the main force is the one.

Dong Zhuo nodded after hearing this and said, "Who can be competent for the Battle of Xingyang?"

"Cao Cao, Sun Jian will arrive soon. Our reinforcements must be as soon as possible. My son-in-law thinks that Marquis Wen should be the general in this battle!" Li Ru bowed and said.

"Wenxian... how about Wenkai?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. Although he recognized this adopted son, Lu Bu's virtue really made him feel relieved. No matter how many personal grudges Lu Bu had in killing Ding at the beginning, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, it was just a horse that brought Lu Bu's surrender.

No matter how great the Red Rabbit is, it is just a horse after all. However, Lu Bu chopped Ding Yuan without saying a word. That is also his adoptive father.

When he was hostile, Dong Zhuo was eager to get Lu Bu, but now that Lu Bu is really taken by him, Dong Zhuo felt a little hesitant in his heart. This is why he kept Lu Bu by his side with his high official and generous salary, but refused to use it for a long time, just like a bodyguard.

"Forgive your son-in-law and say frankly." Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Although General Wen Kai is brave and skilled in cavalry warfare, if this raid breaks the enemy, it is probably not as good as that of Wen Hou. We must win this battle, otherwise it will be difficult to intimidate the princes of Guandong. As long as this battle is won, the coalition forces will be a mob after all. We only need to defend Hulao, divide and disintegrate, and the coalition forces will inevitably have conflicts."

"Just as Wenyou said!" Dong Zhuo nodded silently. After returning home, he called Lu Bu to his side.

"What's the matter with the adoptive father calling me?" Lu Bu came to Dong Zhuo with a big golden sword. Now it was a honeymoon period for both of them. Lu Bu was smashed by Dong Zhuo's high-ranking officials and generous salaries, so he couldn't find the north. In this Luoyang City, no matter who it was, he dared not disrespect him when he saw him, which greatly satisfied his vanity. Although he had some regrets without military power, he believed that with Dong Zhuo's emphasis on him, it would only take time to lead the troops. At this time, if loyalty is mentioned, Lu Bu is also relatively high among the generals under Dong Zhuo.

"The Fengxian came just in time. I have something to do, you need it." Dong Zhuo smiled and looked at Lu Bu and said with a gentle voice.

"Please tell me if you adoptive father." Lu Bu's heart jumped and he hurriedly looked at Dong Zhuo and said.

"I just received a secret report. The coalition forces have now begun to cross the river. The soldiers sent two troops to besiege Xingyang, so I wanted to send Feng to go ahead and to slash the coalition forces' spirit!" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and said.

"Don't worry, the adoptive father, the Kanto rats are just native chickens and dogs. Bu only needs three thousand elite riders, so the Kanto rats must be told that they dare not look at our army's strength!" Lu Bu was overjoyed and said proudly.

"Mr. Wen, this battle should be fast!" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu, suddenly felt a little worried, and couldn't help but remind him: "And we must never fight. The purpose of our army's troops this time is to dampen the spirit of the coalition forces. After defeating these two troops, Wen Hou quickly detours Meishan, cooperated with our army's main force to attack King Chen Liu Chong. This person is the real confidant of our army now!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he was confused and said, "Then King Chen, Liu Chong, has only 20,000 soldiers. The Yique Pass defenders alone are enough to deal with it. Why mobilize the troops??"

"Wen Hou thought about it, King Chen Liu Chong was a relative of the Han Dynasty. He should have protected the court and served us, but now he helped the evildoer. He did not want to be loyal to the court. Instead, he turned against the traitor and helped the traitor to fight against his father-in-law. Although he had few soldiers, he was a relative of the Han Dynasty. If he did not destroy it, wouldn't he tell the world that we are unorthodox?" Li Rusurong said: "Therefore, this battle is a small aura of the coalition forces. The real purpose is to wipe out King Chen Liu Chong. Kill this person is better than to wipe out 100,000 rebels in Guandong! This is a great achievement. Marquis Wen must not fight in Xingyang, so as to miss the opportunity to fight and make King Chen escape."

A merit that is unparalleled!?

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Wenyou, I know what to do, I don't know when Bu should leave?"

"No need to delay!" Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Sun Jian, Cao Cao will arrive in Xingyang tomorrow. Wen Hou should set off as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll go and get some troops!" Lu Bu excitedly took the tiger talisman handed over by Dong Zhuo, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wen Hou wait!" Li Ru called Lu Bu and said.

"What else is Wenyou?" Lu Bu said in confusion.

"Sun Jian was known as the tiger in Jiangdong. He used to serve with his father-in-law under Zhang Wen's command. Not only did he have a long battle, but he was also brave enough. Cao Cao was attracted by Ye Zhao as his close friend, and his skills were not bad. Marquis Wen must not be careless!" Li Ru said in a stern manner.

"The tiger in Jiangdong? Ye Zhao's close friend?" Lu Bu sneered and said, "Don't worry, Wenyou, wait for me to take the heads of the two of them, and ask Ye Zhao to see!"
