Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 209
Liu Yu and his party went north quickly and returned to Niujia Village in only one day. On this evening, a group of disguised merchants came from Liang County in the southeast. Murder in the street.

And after learning that the murderous ranger had escaped from prison, the group left Liang County and went to the border of Jingzhou before dark.

One of the group was Shi Mingtao, whose name was Guangyuan. Originally, he and Xu Shu met to go to Jingzhou to worship Sima Hui, Mr. Shuijing, as their teacher. On the way, they heard that Xu Shu had been arrested and imprisoned, so they came to the rescue together with their friends, but they didn't want to rush. Therefore, Xu Shu did not go to Jingzhou.

In history, Shi Guangyuan and Xu Shu became classmates with "Wolong" and "Fengchu" after arriving in Jingzhou, but Xu Shu lost this opportunity because of Liu Yu and Chen Dao's early rescue.

But there is an old saying that if you lose your horse, you will know it is not a blessing. Although Xu Shu failed to meet famous people in Jingzhou according to the historical track, he followed Liu Yu in advance, which made his fate more brilliant and peaceful than his life in history. dazzling.

…………

The surrounding areas of Luoyang have been very quiet in the past three to five days. Li Jue's main force is still transporting supplies from Gong County between Yiyang and Hu County. These are Li Jue's family property, and it is safe for him Hongnong City is more important than anything else.

But because the deputy general Wang Fang died in Xin'an County, Li Jue had to send another vanguard to join Li Su's Chang'an soldiers.

After receiving reinforcements, Li Su immediately headed to Xin'an County, where he confronted Zhang Ji's Jingyuan Army.

On the southwest side, Niu Fu feared that his opponent might be Zhu Jun, a famous general at the end of Han Dynasty, so he slowed down his marching speed, while Mengxin's side died down and broke up into pieces. It was just that there were some disturbances in Lu County from time to time, but there was no movement. Leave any valid message to the other party.

This plan was given to Mengxin by Professor Liu Yu, which made Niu Fu suspicious of deceit. He neither dared to call the troops to approach the city quickly, nor could he withdraw to Luoyang. Therefore, a pattern of mutual testing and waiting and watching was formed in the southwest.

Since there were no battles in these two places, Dong Zhuo focused his attention on himself.

At this time, Dong Zhuo in Yong'an Palace was holding a small white pill to observe repeatedly. This pill was exactly the one his granddaughter Dong Bai brought from Niujia Village.

Dong Zhuo did not take it immediately after getting it, but called the imperial physicians to try to study and analyze the ingredients and efficacy of the medicine. Unfortunately, western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are two different disciplines in later generations, and the research of the imperial physicians will definitely not have any reward.

However, this just proved Liu Yu's extraordinary ability in refining medicine and the magical effect of this medicine.

The last time Dong Bai came back from Niujia Village, he said that Liu Yu would return to Luoyang City with ten pills in three to five days, so Dong Zhuo would choose ten weaker veterans to come to Yong'an Palace to test the medicine in these two days.

It's just that today is already the sixth day, and Liu Yu still hasn't come back, which makes Dong Zhuo wait a little anxiously.

At this time, Li Ru's pleading voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Dong Zhuo thought it was Liu Yu who came, so he walked happily outside the hall to meet him.

But when he saw that Li Ru was alone outside the hall, an extremely disappointed look appeared on his face.

"What's wrong with Wenyou?" Dong Zhuo asked unhappily.

Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's unkind expression, it seemed that he came at the wrong time, but he didn't dare not report the military situation in his hand, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Report to Grand Master... an urgent report from the southeast! "

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard the word urgent report, Dong Zhuo frowned immediately. Niu Fu had just been sent to the southwest to go out. Could it be that there is another military chaos in the southeast?
"Southeast? As long as it wasn't the mutiny in Jingzhou, it shouldn't cause much disturbance to Luoyang!" Liu Biao was still in the city at the moment, and Dong Zhuo felt that the soldiers in the southeast must be bandits and bandits.

After hearing this, Li Ru quickly nodded and said yes. Seeing that Dong Zhuo's face was a little relieved, he dared to continue to report: "It is true that the southeast military rebellion did not happen in Jingzhou, but in the area of ​​Funiu Mountain. I came here to report... the traitor Zhu Jun has raised [-] troops and has occupied Liang County in Henan County!"

Dong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and roared angrily, "What! Isn't Zhu Jun in the southwest? Why did he appear in Liang County in the southeast to start a disturbance again? Thirty thousand rebels? Are you serious?"

Dong Zhuo asked several nervous questions in a row, which showed that he was still very afraid of Zhu Jun's ability to command troops. Although he knew that the number of [-] was absolutely inflated, once Zhu Jun's rebel army rose up, it was likely to attract the attention of other princes. the response to.

And this was the main reason why Dong Zhuo was so frightened and worried.

In the previous Southwest military turmoil, Li Ru speculated that Zhu Jun might be in Lu County, but now in Liang County in the southeast, there is another enemy army under the banner of Zhu Jun.

Will there be any connection between the two sides?If so, which side will be Zhu Jun's main force?

Thinking of this, Li Ru worriedly reminded: "Rebels have appeared in the southwest and southeast one after another. The subordinates think this is Zhu Jun's suspicious strategy. Once we neglect a certain route, we may be taken advantage of by the opponent!"

Dong Zhuo kept nodding his head when he heard the words. In fact, he was also thinking about this question in his heart. Zhu Jun's strategy of using troops in two directions and being suspicious of each other really made Dong Zhuo dare not be too careless.

"Wen You's doubts are not unreasonable, but there is no conclusive information to prove which side is Zhu Jun's main force. It seems that we have to send another general to guard the southeast!"

There was an urgent enemy situation in the southeast, so Dong Zhuo had to convene a court meeting again.

The royalists above the Golden Palace bowed their heads in silence, they had no right to speak in terms of military affairs, but to Dong Zhuo's surprise, this time Lu Bu did not actively ask for an expedition like the previous two times.

I saw Lu Bu watching his heart with his eyes, his nose, his nose, and his heart, with an attitude of being nothing to do with himself.It can be seen that Lu Bu's appearance must be because he was annoyed by being declined to lead troops twice before.

Dong Zhuo glanced at him a few times, and then sneered in his heart, "Now that there is a military turmoil again, and Lu Bu is pretending to be noble, do you really think that the Grand Master has no other generals to send besides him?"

"The former general Xu Rong listened to the order and ordered you to take your troops and horses to be stationed in Henan County immediately. After finding out the details of the enemy soldiers, you can send troops to destroy them yourself!"

"Xu Rong accepts the order!"

Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to lead his troops to the southeast to focus on stability. After finding out the location of Zhu Jun's main force, he would decide whether to send reinforcements to the southeast or southwest.

Xu Rong is the last general of Xiliang trusted by Dong Zhuo in the capital, but Xu Rong also served as the captain of the city gate before, and now he is going to lead the troops to the southeast, and the city defense of Luoyang needs to be rearranged and arranged. .

"Order Li Ru to temporarily act as the captain of the city gate, and Ma Teng and Han Sui will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to assist him!"

After hearing Dong Zhuo's second order, blue veins appeared on Lu Bu's forehead, thinking that Dong Zhuo was really on guard against him, and Xu Rong went out to replace the city defense with two new generals.

It would be fine if he was not sent to fight, but he was not even asked to touch the city defense. It seems that Chen Gong's suggestion was correct, only by leaving Dong Zhuo and Luoyang, can he embark on the road to hegemony.

However, Lu Bu was not in a hurry, because he already knew that Liu Yu had arranged a detailed plan for him, and what he had to do was to patiently wait for a new "enemy situation" to appear in the northeast.
