Chapter 289
Dong Zhuo is very angry, very angry!
Looking at Niu Fu, who was almost kneeling on the ground under the steps, Dong Zhuo really wanted to give an order to pull this defeated general out and behead him, but when he remembered the crying of his precious daughter yesterday, Dong Zhuo suddenly softened his heart , you can't really let your daughter remarry, can you?
Dong Zhuo suddenly wanted to let out a long sigh, why did I find such a son-in-law as a hero in my life.
"Niu Fu! Do you still remember how to deal with the loss of Tongguan?" Dong Zhuo said coldly.
Niu Fu trembled all over, and said in a low voice, "I know."
Dong Zhuo snorted, untied the saber from his waist, and threw it in front of Niu Fu.
"Since this is the case, a certain person is too lazy to do anything, so you should end it yourself!"
Niu Fu trembled all over, staring at the saber thrown on the ground, looked up at Dong Zhuo, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to hold the saber, unexpectedly this day would finally come.
"Wait a minute, Prime Minister, I have a few words to ask Niu Zhonglang."
This sentence sounded as good as Tian Lai to Niu Fu, and when he turned around, it was Li Ru, the elder brother-in-law who spoke, and Niu Fu was so excited that his family was reliable at critical times.
"Niu Zhonglang, did you see with your own eyes the enemy troops outside Tongguan unfurl Liu Ye's flag?"
"That's right. The bandit army attacked from both sides. That night there was a lot of fanfare. I could see Liu Ye's flag clearly."
Li Ru turned around and bowed to Dong Zhuo: "Prime Minister, it seems that this son of Liu Ye is indeed secretly crossing Chen Cang by repairing plank roads, sending generals to attack Hexi under his own banner, but the actual target is Tongguan."
Dong Zhuo nodded, and said depressedly: "Liu Ye's plan is nothing, but Tongguan also has tens of thousands of defenders, how can it be won if it changes hands in one battle?"
Li Ru said again: "The enemy's surprise soldiers are so prominent that they even spared the front of Tongguan and launched an attack from the east of Tongguan. I think there is a possibility."
"oh?"
Li Ru paused every word, "Liu Ye stormed Tongguan with the main force, forcing Niu Zhonglang to shrink his line, and the enemy crossed the Wei River at night.
The first plank road is Hexi County, and Chencang is Tongguan; Tongguan is actually the plank road, and the real "Chencang" is the cavalry who crossed the Wei River!
Rao Li Ru, who is full of resourcefulness, couldn't help being frightened at this moment. This kind of strategist is really the talent of Wang Zuo, even he dare not underestimate it.
"Prime Minister, I only thought of Liu Yuqing's suspicion of sending troops to attack Hexi County and mainly attack Tongguan, but he was too cunning, so I didn't expect that Niu Zhonglang's defeat was also reasonable. A bloody battle, spare his life."
Dong Zhuo snorted when he heard Li Ru's words.
"Niu Fu! You kid, go back to the truth and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You are not allowed to go out without the truth order."
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Niu Fu was overjoyed, Xiang Shang's head was finally saved.
"Thank you Prime Minister, thank you military advisor." Niu Fu was very grateful, but Dong Zhuo didn't want to see him anymore, so he waved his hand to signal Niu Fu to get out of here.
Niu Fu walked out of the tent, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Wen You, Liu Yuqing's soldiers are like gods, and Liangzhou's soldiers are like a tiger with wings added. Now that Tongguan is conquered, Hongnong is almost at risk. Wuguan and Hanguguan are also exposed to Liu Ye's soldiers. What do you think?"
Li Ru also frowned: "Prime Minister, at least there are more than 20,000 troops in Luoyang. If you stick to the Hangu Pass-Xiaoshan line, Liu Ye must not be able to attack."
"Why don't you call Lu Bu back? Let him lead the Bingzhou iron cavalry to fight Liu Ye?" Dong Zhuo asked. Dong Zhuo was deeply impressed by Lv Bu's bravery under Ding Yuan's subordinates that day, otherwise he would not have given Lv Bu the gold, silver and treasures as well as the red rabbit horse. You must know that the red rabbit horse is a rare horse king.
Li Ru shook his head: "No, although Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were expelled from Yanzhou, Liu Dai and others still stick to Puyang. It is difficult for Marquis Wen to break through for a while. Besides, the tens of thousands of Yuan Benchu and Han Fu Hebei's coalition forces are like Mount Tai. On the head and neck of our army, if Marquis Wen withdraws his troops, I am afraid that Yuan Benchu's sword will point his sword at the Hulao Pass, and he will inevitably be attacked on both sides."
Dong Zhuo frowned: "What does Wen You mean?"
"Mobilize Xu Rong's army to return to the division! Enter Wuguan and threaten Tongguan with the defenders of Hangu Pass on both sides. The two armies are each other's horns. If Liu Ye raises troops to attack one of them, the other will return to the division to rescue him. Use the superiority of troops to contain Liu Ye."
Dong Zhuo worried: "But. Yuan Gonggong is the successor of the Yuan family in Runan, and he has Sun Jian as his minion. What if he makes a comeback?"
Li Ru smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then stretched out two fingers: "It doesn't matter, I have already invited two reinforcements to restrain Yuan Gonglu, even with Sun Jian's help, it will be difficult for Yuan Gonglu to accomplish things in a short time."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed: "But I don't know which two ways?"
Li Ru's eyes flashed: "One of them is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Zhang Lu was originally a general under Yizhou Mu Liu Yan. He was ordered to go out of Sichuan to attack Su Gu, the former prefect of Hanzhong. However, Zhang Lu was unwilling to be alone. After defeating Su Gu, he became independent , Occupy Hanzhong, and Liu Yan is in a situation of fire and water, relying on the advantages of the land to contend against Liu Yan, it is difficult to support Liu Yan."
"Zhang Lu is the leader of Wudoumi. The prime minister can order him to be the Marquis of Nanzheng, lead troops into Shangyong and Fangling, and order Zhang Lu to supervise the affairs of Hanzhong and Shangyong counties. Shangyong is adjacent to Nanyang. With this road, Yuan Shu will receive contain."
Dong Zhuo said impatiently, "Is there still a way?"
Li Ru smiled and said: "The former general's mansion Citron Liu Biao, the prime minister can represent the emperor, and ordered him to be the shepherd of Jingzhou. Nanyang County is one of the seven counties in Jingzhou. If Yuan Shu occupies Wancheng, Liu Biao is naturally not reconciled. If Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang, then If the dove occupies the magpie's nest, two tigers or even three tigers will fight against each other, and they will fight together, so they can't care about the prime minister."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed: "Okay! According to what Wen You said, so-and-so is ordered to draw up a decree!"
In April of the seventh year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo played the Son of Heaven, and Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was the shepherd of Jingzhou, Zhang Lu was the prefect of Hanzhong, Marquis of Nanzheng, and supervised the affairs of Hanzhong and Shangyong counties.
Zhang Lu, who occupies Hanzhong, was overjoyed when he heard about it, and immediately accepted the appointment of the "imperial court", appointed his younger brother Zhang Wei as a general, and led 10,000 troops to the south to Shangyong. Now he is in the middle of a fierce battle, but the progress is quite smooth.
At this time, Xiangyang.
Liu Biao was in the top position. Originally, Yuan Shu took control of Nanyang and mobilized other counties, so he had the intention of coveting Nanjun. However, Xu Rong immediately defeated Yuan Shu, giving Liu Biao time to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly dispatched his son Liu Pan to the south Raiding Jingnan, and now occupying half of Jingzhou, can be regarded as a small success.
"Yidu, Zirou, do you think Dong Zhuo's appointment should be accepted?"
A young scribe stood up: "Your Majesty is a clan, as it should be."
