a few days later.

Luoyang, the capital of Han Dynasty.

In the majestic North Palace, Xiangguo, who is over [-] people, lost his temper again.

Not long ago, the whole set of tea lamps and candles were replaced with new ones, but now they were thrown to pieces again, and the ground was full of wreckage and debris, making it a mess.

The table case made of high-quality wood was also kicked away by Xiangguo in anger, and the stacks of bamboo slips on the table were scattered in all directions.

From a long distance away, Dong Xiangguo's roaring voice could be heard, as if he was stunned by someone again.

The palace people trembled.

Not daring to get any closer.

However, under such circumstances, there is still one person in the palace at this moment, standing quietly aside.

This person looked directly at Dong Zhuo with complex expressions in his eyes, and wanted to say something several times, but he closed his mouth after muttering for a long time.

It's been a long time.

Dong Zhuo calmed down slightly from his anger.

Throwing the long sword in his hand to the ground, he leaned exhaustedly on the pillar in the palace.

"Wen You, this Cao Zi has done a good job!"

"The old man used to think that he wanted to have both sides, and both sides could benefit from it. Now it seems that he still thinks too simply."

"He sent his generals to kill Hua Xiong, and also helped the coalition forces to break through Chenggao Pass. It seems that he is going to completely stand on Yuan Shao's side and beat the old man to death with a stick!"

Dong Zhuo felt tired.

He really didn't expect that Cao Ang's methods could be so vicious, and he was actually playing black and black.

Originally, Dong Zhuo was quite happy when he received the good news from Hua Xiong who rushed to deliver it to him.

After all, it is the vanguard of the enemy.

Such power and influence will definitely make the enemy worry a lot and dare not confront the defenders head-on.

In this way, the task he entrusts to Hua Xiong to guard the city without retreating half a step, can persist for more than a month and a half.

Just stick to it longer.

It was a great loss to the enemy's food and grass support, fighting spirit and morale.

Dong Zhuo would also be able to have enough time to make preparations, pack up his army, property, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and take them away.

But now, the plan has been shattered!

As soon as the front foot received the good news, it was followed by the news that Hua Xiong was killed in battle, Chenggao Guan was held for a day, and the city was smashed.

one day!

The difference between this and Dong Zhuo's original expectation of ten days and a half months is more than ten thousand miles.

Now the originally abundant time has become tense, so for Dong Zhuo at this moment.

I really hate Cao Ang!

……

It took quite a while.

Dong Zhuo calmed down completely.

Until this moment, Li Ru, who was standing aside, took a few steps forward, and then bowed slightly.

Then he said softly: "Xiangguo calm down, Chenggao Pass has been breached, this matter has already happened, and we are powerless to change it, it is not worth thinking about it."

"The top priority is to start remedial measures and implement some other measures to eliminate the adverse effects brought about by the one-day loss of Guancheng."

Li Ru gently persuaded.

Dong Zhuo could listen to it.

After slightly nodding his head, he pressed his forehead involuntarily, and then asked with a look of searching on his face.

"According to Wen You's opinion, how should the old man remedy it, and what measures should he take?"

Li Ru gave a dry cough.

Then show two fingers.

"If you want to delay the time, you have to start from two directions. One is to speed up our army, and the other is to find a way to slow down the enemy's speed."

"Speeding up the speed is very simple, that is to discard some unnecessary things. In this way, the speed of our army's reorganization and preparation will be greatly improved."

"As long as Xiangguo is willing, it's not difficult."

Dong Zhuo nodded with an ugly face.

Since they want to retreat and leave Luoyang City for Chang'an, they must plunder all the wealth in Luoyang City and pack everything they can take away before leaving.

But now since there is not enough time.

There are some valuable things that are not easy to carry, and things that are hidden in the corner and need to be digged to find out, so we can only give up for the time being.

"What about the strategy to slow down the enemy?"

Dong Zhuo's unconscious voice was gloomy.

Obviously very unhappy.

As for Li Ruru, he just didn't know.

But the voice said calmly: "Compared with others, the strategy of slowing down the enemy is the most important thing. If it is implemented properly, the coalition forces will definitely mess up their positions!"

……

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested.

Compared with letting him give up his wealth, it is obvious that the enemy army is in chaos, which will make him feel happier.

"What a clever plan, Wen You quickly tell me!"

The corners of Li Ru's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable smile, matching his black scholar's uniform and his rather conspiratorial face.

The whole person looked eerie.

"That's the Yuan family!"

Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment.

I don't quite understand what Li Ru means by this.

It's just that he hasn't waited for him to ask a question.

Li Ru had already continued talking on his own.

"At present, there are more than [-] Kwantung coalition forces, and the two largest forces are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Counting their respective subordinates, they seem to account for more than half of the coalition forces."

"What's more, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, Yuan Shao's identity at this time is the leader of the entire coalition army, and Yuan Shu is in charge of the food and grass support of the coalition army."

"So in my opinion, if we can find a way to restrain the two brothers, most of the entire coalition army will be abolished. Not to mention falling into chaos, it will at least delay them for more than ten days."

Li Ru's voice just fell.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

Of course, he is well aware of what his chief counselor said.

The reason why the Guanzhong Allied Forces became powerful is because of the connection of the two brothers of the Yuan family.

It was the two of them who supported this alliance by relying on their respective names, prestige and strength.

But how to deal with the two brothers of the Yuan family?

The Yuan family...

……

Dong Zhuo was startled.

As if a flash of light had appeared in his mind, an idea suddenly popped up.

"Wen You, are you planning to play tricks on Yuan Kai and others, and use these people to force Er Yuan to fail?"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo understood what he meant.

The smile on Li Ru's face was even bigger.

He nodded happily, gestured with both hands and said, "It's just as Xiangguo said!"

"You might as well send troops now to arrest all the Yuan family's children in Luoyang, put them in a prison, and imprison them all."

"Then charge these people with a crime, saying that they are suspected of collaborating with foreign enemies and secretly colluding with the bandit army headed by Er Yuan. If they can't prove their innocence, they will all be pushed to the vegetable market and killed in a few days."

"After this news spreads, you send a few eloquent experts to the camp of the coalition army to find out how powerful they are, and tell Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu the current situation."

speak here.

Li Ru paused for a while.

A more gloomy look appeared on his face.

The whole talent continued to reveal his sinister and vicious plan as if there was no trace of fireworks.

"If they retreat obediently, dozens of members of the Yuan family will be safe."

"Otherwise, all the families will be executed!"

"In this way, a dilemma is placed in front of them."

"Continue to march and send troops to Luoyang, and dozens of people in the whole family will die because of them. If you agree to withdraw the troops and return to their respective territories obediently, the rest of the coalition army will never agree."

"No matter what choice they make, they will have to bear a very serious price. Thinking about it this way, how can Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu not be in a state of confusion?"

"Naturally slow down their marching speed!"

……

"hiss!"

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath.

Then there was a long silence.

He was startled by Li Ru's insidious plan, this move was really sinister.

Put yourself in your shoes.

If he was Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, in such a situation, it would be a real dilemma, and he didn't know what decision to make.

As expected of Li Wenyou.

so cruel...

However, I like it!

Dong Zhuo, who woke up from the horror, also showed a cruel smile on his face.

He is not a good person.

To a certain extent, he is more ruthless than Li Ru, without any bottom line.

So this strategy is exactly what he wants!

Whether Yuan Kai and the others are dead or alive, and how tormented Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are, this is none of his business?

As long as it works, he will use it!

It was just when he was about to give an order to Li Ru to handle this matter on his behalf and arrest the entire Yuan family.

A fragment of memory suddenly flashed back from his mind, making him stunned for a few seconds.

Then he said hesitantly.

"Cao Zixiu once told me that a man like Yuan Shao with ambition and lofty aspirations would not be restrained by some old and young members of the clan."

"Even if we threaten him with the Yuan family, I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

"If Yuan Shao was cold-blooded and ruthless, and watched us show Yuan Wei and others to the public, and then still swagger towards Luoyang, what would we do then?"

I don't know why.

Some of the words Cao Ang said left a deep impression on Dong Zhuo's heart, and often made him think involuntarily that this is the case now.

However, Li Ru shook his head.

There are many dissatisfaction on the face.

"Xiangguo's words are wrong. Our purpose is to hold them back, not to make Yuan Shao retreat."

"So Yuan Jiazi is really cold-blooded and ruthless, so what can we do, at worst, we will cut off the heads of Yuan Wei and others, and send someone to send them directly."

"If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can remain indifferent to this, and still brazenly send troops to attack, then their unfilial piety will probably be famous in the world!"

These words of Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo chewed it repeatedly.

Suddenly realized.

This is Yang Mouer!
As long as Er Yuan still cherishes his feathers and pays attention to his little reputation.

After hearing the news of the death of Yuan Kai and others, and seeing the heads of these people with his own eyes, he would have to cry and mourn a lot no matter what.

Didn't this just waste their time?
Gee!
What a brilliant idea!

……

"Wen You, I will leave this matter to you. Make sure that no one in the Yuan family can get away. Except for the young children, everyone will be sent to prison!"

Li Ru responded.

But did not leave immediately.

Instead, he turned around, helped up the desk that had been kicked away by Dong Zhuo before, spread out a map on it, and then pointed to the current location of the coalition forces with his fingers.

"One more thing."

"After Chenggao Pass, there are only two big cities, Gong County and Yanshi County. Didn't Xiangguo send General Lu to guard Yanshi before? Now it seems that it is far from enough."

"The first thing is to send more people and set up a defense line in Gong County. For the sake of the overall situation, it doesn't matter if you lose some troops."

Dong Zhuo nodded.

This is what it should be.

After silently reading the list of his generals in his mind, Dong Zhuo finally chose one.

"Then let Fan Chou lead an army of [-] to go!"

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were lost at Chenggao Pass. Even with Dong Zhuo's family property, his vitality was severely injured and his flesh hurt endlessly.

The landlord's house has no food left.

What's more, this is a force destined to be sacrificed, the more you send, the greater the loss.

Therefore, only 1 people.

……

Li Ru bowed and saluted.

Say goodbye to Dong Zhuo and leave.

Just when he was about to step over the threshold of the palace with his right foot, a thought suddenly occurred to Li Ru, which made Li Ru stunned in place.

Do you want to remind Xiangguo?

After hesitating for a while.

After all, it was Dong Zhuo's weight that overwhelmed Cao Ang, causing Li Ru to turn around.

Cupping his fists together, he said softly, "Xiangguo, you can't trust Lu Bu completely, you need to be more prepared!"

A strange color flashed across Dong Zhuo's eyes.

The staring boss.

He looked Li Ru up and down.

Seeing that his face was normal, he looked quite frank, and it didn't seem that he had a personal grievance with Lu Bu and was engaged in a political struggle here.

Then he asked leisurely: "Why did Wen You say this, Feng Xian is loyal to me, since he defected to my command, he has done everything safely and properly, why should he be on guard? "

Since Li Ru opened his mouth, he would not hesitate.

He pointed to the battle report sent in the morning.

"Forgive me for your offense. When General Lu joined you, it was recommended by Cao Ang. It is said that the two of them are considered brothers."

"Now that Cao Zixiu has rebelled, what is General Lu's plan at this moment, and whether there is any connection between him and Cao Ang, these are all unknown."

"Even if General Lu is loyal to you, there are some things that you have to guard against. I hope Xiangguo thinks twice!"

Although Li Ru has a dark line on Cao Ang's side.

But his most fundamental position is still Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, for small matters, or matters involving himself, he will help Cao Ang to smooth things over.

But if it concerns the survival of Dong Zhuo's power, he will never be careless.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with Lu Bu.

Li Ru chose to speak out.

……

However, what surprised Li Ru quite a bit.

Dong Zhuo listened to his words.

Unexpectedly, he didn't show any dignified look, but laughed out loud.

"Wenyou is too worried!"

"I have been with Fengxian for half a year. How can I not understand what kind of temperament he is?"

"Fengxian puts more emphasis on profit than affection. He is a true brother of Cao Zixiu, but only the old man can give him the greatest benefits, the most benefits. How can you say he betrayed me?"

Speaking of it.

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Besides, the old man is not defenseless. Among the defenders in Yanshi County, it is Wen Cai who is in charge of the overall situation. Fengxian needs to be restrained by him."

"Even if he has a different mind, he won't be able to turn the sky around, so don't you worry about it now?"

Li Ru felt relieved.
