Chapter 268 Response
Compared with Li Zhong's expression, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's two half-brothers are ecstatic. Although they also know that this is Dong Zhuo's plan, isn't it an opportunity for them to strengthen themselves?
Yuan Shu immediately said that he obeyed the order of the court, while Yuan Shao did not say anything, but called Wen Wu to prepare to fight against Liu Yu and bring Yangzhou under his command.
You should know that he has long coveted the rich people of Yangzhou, but his teacher is unknown. Although Dong Zhuo is in charge, he is still a big man in the world. Although the emperor is just a puppet, this is what Yuan Shao needs. He just needs an excuse. Now Dong Zhuo gives him this excuse, how can he It will be wasted.
And Yuan Shu in Nanyang was also anxious to prepare to take action against Jingzhou. Only Li Zhong did not move, as if it had nothing to do with him.
If Li Zhong does not move, he will be disobedent. At that time, Dong Zhuo can instigate other princes to do it. If he does, he will fall into Dong Zhuo's plan. Anyway, Li Zhong is now in Dong Zhuo's calculation. It can be said that the yellow mud fell into his crotch, not shit or shit. .
And Dong Zhuo also secretly prepared for the westward Hanzhong at the first time, and the Hu Prison Pass was guarded by the general Guo Wei with 50,000 elites. In addition, there were also 30,000 troops in Wuguan. As long as Kanto and other princes did not join hands, it was basically impossible to break through these three majestic gates in a short time.
And ordered his general Hua Xiong to lead 100,000 troops to attack Hanzhong. General Li Su and Fan Chou accompanied him, while the other 150,000 troops rushed to Sanfu under the leadership of General Lv Bu. General Zhang Ji and Yang Feng accompanied him and joined Li Yu's 50,000 troops there. Once Liu Yu and Shang Kun fought for the death, 200,000 troops would be enough. In order to crush the whole Xiliang, there are 100,000 troops around Luoyang for unprepared.
And 50,000 of Lv Bu's 150,000 troops are cavalry. The terrain in Xiliang is relatively flat, so the cavalry can play a great role.
However, Hedong is close to Bingzhou, so at Li Ru's suggestion, General Hu Zhen led 30,000 troops to Hedong to support Niu Fu, who guarded the town, to guard Hedong.
The day after the two received the "imperial edict", Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu seemed to have discussed it. At the same time, they warned Liu Yao and Liu Biao to abide by the emperor's decree and hand over the two states immediately, otherwise the army would fight against it.
Liu Biao, who received a warning from Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, secretly scolded Dong Zhuo's sinisterness and scolded the two brothers for being stupid, but they did not dare to be careless. Liu Biao ordered his general Wang Wei to lead 50,000 troops out of Xiangyang and go down to the village by the Han River to prevent Yuan Shu from swinging his troops to the south. At the same time, he ordered Jiang Xia Taishou Huang Zu to lead the army five Wan annexed Xinyang to monitor Yuan Shu, and at the same time ordered the governors to prepare.
And Liu Yu also looked like facing a big enemy. He ordered General Fanneng to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Shucheng, and General Mi led 50,000 troops to garrison in Yangling to prevent Yuan Shao, and at the same time sent people to show his goodwill to Yuan Shao.
Although Dong Zhuo was a little disappointed that the two families failed to fight after receiving the news, according to the current situation, this war is inevitable, but now the only variable is Li Zhong's Youzhou army. It seems that Li Zhong has not made a statement from the beginning, which makes Dong Zhuo very worried.
But Li Ru told him that he was foolproof, and Dong Zhuo nodded at ease.
And Li Zhong, who is in Guangping, is also a little depressed. He was actually teased by Dong Zhuo. It is absolutely impossible for him to listen to his words obediently. If he does not act according to the order, he is ignoring the current emperor. In other words, people in the world will think that Li Zhong is unfaithful. Now he is a little advanced. The appearance of retreating from the valley.
"Lord, Mr. Fengxiao is here," Xu Chu came to Li Zhong's door and shouted in a low voice.
Li Zhong came back to his senses and said, "Call Fengxiao in."
After a moment, Guo Jia, with a ruddy face and a white gown, walked into Li Zhong's study.
"Lord", Guo Jiachao and Li Zhong saluted.
Li Zhong waved his hand, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, which were all seen by Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "Is the lord worried about your majesty's decree?"
Li Zhong nodded and looked at Guo Jia's light appearance. Li Zhong knew that he had paid attention and rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, don't hide it. I know you have a plan. Say it quickly."
Looking at Li Zhong's appearance, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Master, according to Jia's speculation, Dong Zhuo just wants the lord to go to fight with Ding Yuan and Han Fu. It's better to break the blood. At that time, he will wave his troops eastward and wipe out the three states in one fell swoop." The tone was quite serious.
Li Zhong nodded, and he himself guessed these, but there was no good way to deal with them, so he was a little distressed.
"Dong Zhuo's mind is more than that? According to the news from the wind, nearly 300,000 troops drove out of Luoyang and went west, presumably to take action against Liu Yu," Li Zhong said with a sneer.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "In this case, Dong Zhuo may still want to take Hanzhong in one fell swoop and make a wedge for the future entry into Yizhou and the Central Plains." Guo Jia looked up and said to Li Zhong for a moment.
Li Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect this layer, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead. Dong Zhuo really dared to do it. If he failed, it was estimated that Liu Yu and Su Gu (Hanzhong Taishou) would not let him go. Thinking of this, Li Zhong couldn't help but admire Dong Zhuo's courage.
"I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to have such courage," Li Zhong sighed.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "I heard that Dong Zhuo has a good relationship with the Qiang people. I'm afraid that when Dong Zhuo's army marches to Xiliang, the Qiang army will also move. Liu Yu's situation is not good." Guo Jia frowned and felt a little tricky in the face of this problem.
Boo were lost in thought.
Suddenly, Li Zhong raised his head, and so was Guo Jia. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Since Dong Zhuo is so ambitious, let's take a good look at what means he has." Li Zhong suddenly thought of a person, that is, Li Ru in history, who is quite resourceful. With his IQ, Dong Zhuo can think of such a subtle scheme.
"What's the master's plan?" Guo Jia asked.
Li Zhong sneered and said, "Since Dong Zhuo can stumble on me, we can also treat him in his own way, hum!" After saying that, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
Guo Jia frowned, suddenly flashed with an inspiration and said, "Is it that the lord wants to..."
Li Zhong nodded and said, "Although we can't directly stop Dong Zhuo's action, if we send the news to Liu Yu and Su Gu in advance, he will never be able to take the two places easily, and he will sink deeper and deeper until he is cleaned up, hum."
"The lord is a good plan," Guo Jia said, "but Liu Yu and Su Gu don't believe what to do, especially Liu Yu. There is still a gap between him and the lord, which is quite troublesome," Guo Jia frowned and said.
"What advice do you have for filial piety?" Li Zhong couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so he had to look up at Guo Jia. He knew that he would not let himself down.
Sure enough, Guo Jia pondered for a moment and looked up to Li Zhong and said, "Since it doesn't work here, why don't we buy out the confidants around these two people? At that time, they have to be unprepared."
Li Zhong nodded and said, "Okay, just follow this plan. Don't be late. I'll order it." After saying that, he began to write.
"Zhong Kang," Li Zhong shouted outside the door.
"Lord", Xu Chu pushed the door and entered, holding a fist at Li Zhong.
"Immediately pass on the letter to Liangzhou, the hero Lou Feige of Hanzhong", and at this time, the small note in Li Zhong's hand was also completed and handed it to Xu Chu. Xu Chu nodded and retreated.
"This problem has been solved, but how do we deal with this imperial edict?" Li Zhong looked at a golden edict on the case and smiled bitterly at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and said to Li Zhong, "Master, there is no need to worry. Jia already has a way to deal with it." Guo Jia looked like a bamboo in his chest.
Li Zhong was overjoyed to see Guo Jia's confidence, and even said, "Come quickly with filial piety."
