After Lu Bu left, Wang Yun and others discussed using the beauty trick to provoke the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

However, at this time Dong Zhuo was still in Sishui Pass, so Wang Yun and others could only try their best to establish a good relationship with Lu Bu and lay the foundation for what happened next.

When everything is ready, all that is left is waiting for Dong Zhuo to return to Luoyang.

But no one expected that Wang Yun and others would wait for four months!

The Kanto Alliance Army and Dong Zhuo were in a stalemate for four months at Sishui Pass, and Pan Feng also went to work and checked in for four months.

Nowadays, both the Kanto Alliance and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army are already a little impatient.

The two sides confronted each other that they could not do anything except waste money and food, especially Dong Zhuo. When he went out, he thought the battle would not last too long, so he brought Concubine Li. Now Concubine Li has lost two laps, and Dong Zhuo can no longer raise any interest. It's really boring!

Of course, there is another reason besides Concubine Li who is impatient.

Money and food!

Leading troops to fight is not about generating electricity for love, it costs money.

As the saying goes, a cannon fired and tens of thousands of taels of gold were lit. Dong Zhuo's army of more than 100,000 eats and drinks every day, and money and food alone were a considerable expense.

Although Dong Zhuo has saved a lot of wealth by robbery over the years, it is a bit unbearable to consume this wealth by more than 100,000 troops. Especially in the past four months, the Xiliang Army has made no achievements, but has been insulted by Pan Feng every day, which makes Dong Zhuo even more upset.

Dong Zhuo's account.

Li Ru was reporting to Dong Zhuo on the consumption of money and food in recent days, and vaguely expressed the war-weariness of the soldiers below.

"Wenyou, I understand what you said, but now I really don't have much money to eat. The food prices around Luoyang have risen too fast recently. It must be the scholars who are interfering with it. Please help me find a way to cure them!" Dong Zhuo said.

Li Ru sighed in his heart, why didn’t he know this?

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the literati and officials have almost never given him a good face. Although he had to swallow his anger due to Dong Zhuo's force, he was a slanderous disobedience to Dong Zhuo's orders, and even acted against him behind his back, just to lick Dong Zhuo some small obstacles.

If it were normal, although these tricks would annoy Dong Zhuo, they would not pose a threat to Dong Zhuo's status.

But now it is different. Now it is wartime. Although the Kanto Alliance looks lazy, if the Xiliang Army mutiny due to lack of money and food, I believe that the Kanto Alliance will not miss this excellent opportunity and will inevitably suffer a big defeat.

Once the Xiliang Army is defeated, Dong Zhuo's status will be small, and even his life will not be saved!

This is something that Dong Zhuo will never allow!

Li Ru hesitated for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, I have a plan to cause the Kanto bandit army to collapse in an instant."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wenyou, come on!"

As the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo, Li Ru naturally had a lot of trust in him. Now, when Li Ru said that there was a way, he became excited immediately.

"The Prime Minister, the Kanto thief army is just a pile of loose sand in my opinion. They are still blocking the front of Sishui Pass for just a reputation."

"The thief army gathered and fought against the banner of attacking the prime minister. Now the prime minister is in a strong pass. The thief army knows that it cannot defeat the prime minister, so it does not attack rashly. But retreating like this is not the result that the thief army wants, so they are leaving, staying or feeling uncomfortable now!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt that what Li Ru said was very reasonable. He had more than 100,000 troops stationed in two powerful Guanzhong. Not to mention that the princes of Guandong only had only 300,000 troops, he was not afraid of even having 600,000 troops!

"Then... should we delay any more? What if the Guandong thief army collapsed first?" Li Ru's words gave Dong Zhuo a little lucky.

"Prime Minister, if we really want to delay, we will definitely be the ones who fail in the end." Li Ru said helplessly, feeling increasingly disappointed with Dong Zhuo's stupidity.

How wise Dong Zhuo was once. Although he started out in a short period of time, he made great progress, even if he had some stutters and no loss of fighting spirit, and he still worked hard to make progress.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo was one of the few people Li Ru had ever seen with the powerful master!

Unfortunately, the powerful life in Luoyang finally corrupted Dong Zhuo's ambitions.

Perhaps Pan Feng said something that the best food is not the tiger, but the pigs!

In the past, Li Ru never considered leaving Dong Zhuo. First, Dong Zhuo was his father-in-law, second, Dong Zhuo favored him, and with his current reputation, no one except Dong Zhuo would like him again.

But now Dong Zhuo has changed from a hero to a mediocre leader, and he doesn’t know what he will do in the future. For the sake of his own wealth and life, he has to start thinking about future affairs!

"Wenyou, you said that the Kanto Alliance was in a dilemma, and then you said that if we drag on it, we will fail first. How can we solve the current situation?" Dong Zhuo said irritably.

His temper has become worse and worse during this period.

There are reasons for the stalemate, there are reasons for Pan Feng's long-term harassment, and there are also reasons for Lu Bu getting too close to the scholars.

Dong Zhuo was not without intention in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo saw the interaction between Lu Bu and Wang Yun and others, but Wang Yun obeyed him on weekdays, so Dong Zhuo did not interfere, just let people keep a close eye on it.

Dong Zhuo's violent temper also made Li Ru more and more worried. Such a person would become a monarch and a tyrant.

Li Ru was worried, but there were more important things to be solved at the moment.

"The prime minister can solve all problems by just taking a step back."

"Oh? What's the specific one?" Dong Zhuo asked hurriedly.

"What the Kanto bandit army wants is just a name, so that the prime minister can lead troops to withdraw to Luoyang, throw Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass to the bandit army, and let them divide this credit."

"When those thieves get credit, they will not hold the prime minister to death."

Dong Zhuo frowned: "In this way, I lost two passes, and there is no such good defensive location in front of Luoyang. If they still want to chase our army, we can only defend the city!"

This move seems too risky in Dong Zhuo's opinion. If the Kwantung Alliance does not meet the credit of the two passes and continues to advance westward, then he and the Xiliang Army will be in danger!

However, how could Li Ru have never thought of what Dong Zhuo wanted?

"The prime minister does not need to worry. The current actions of the Kanto thief army have shown their attitude. If they were to fight the prime minister, they would have already found a way to attack Sishui Pass, instead of drinking and having fun in the camp every day like now."

"What's more, if they really defeated the prime minister, what should the emperor do? What should they do with the princes?"

"Will they give up their current military power and bow down to a child?"

"Who will?"

Li Ru's words made Dong Zhuo suddenly realize.

No one is a crying young man, and Dong Zhuo is very aware of the temptation brought by being in a high position.

That is the real king's enjoyment!

And the fact is indeed as Li Ru said, the Kanto Alliance was only stationed, but there was no intention of advancing.

Since that's the case, it's better to throw a piece of bone and let them snatch it!

"Since that's the case, according to what Wenyou said, you can arrange the specific retreat matters!"

"promise!"

......

Just as Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was planning to retreat, a distinguished guest who made Pan Feng overjoyed was welcomed in the camp in Jizhou.

After Ju Su met with the army that day, he went to Yingchuan to visit his friends. When he returned, he brought important news to Han Fu, which also made Zhang He, Qu Yi and others make some contributions.

Since then, Pan Feng has been thinking about who Ju Su’s friend is. When asked Ju Su, he shook his head and smiled without saying a word, and he kept it a secret.

So Pan Feng could only rely on his later cognition to infer.

From Yingchuan, he can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Such strategists usually leave a reputation, and Pan Feng knows only a few strategists. Until today, Pan Feng finally met the strategist he was thinking about.

Han Fu is in the big tent.

Pan Feng and Han Fu were both waiting for a while. At this time, the curtain was raised and Ju Su led a scholar in.

The scholar was wearing a long robe and a scarf on his head. He was a little thin, but his appearance was handsome and elegant.

"Lord, this is my friend Guo Jia in Yingchuan. He was invited by me to come to pay special attention to his lord."

After Ju Su finished speaking, Guo Jia stepped forward and bowed to Han Fu.
