Luoyang Prime Minister's Mansion:

Ever since the coalition forces gathered in Suanzao, Dong Zhuo had been in a bad mood and worried that he would not be able to withstand the coalition's attack.

Even though he sent Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong, and Li Su to Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass to resist, Old Dong felt uneasy!

"Report to Prime Minister Dong, Sishui Pass sent someone to deliver good news?"

Send orders to soldiers.

Lao Dong was puzzled. Hu Zhen sent a battle report a few days ago, saying that the coalition forces were strong and defeated.

Why is there good news today?

Li Ru received the good news and quickly inspected it.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it is indeed Hua Xiong. Li Su sent someone to deliver the good news. Hua Xiong led 30,000 infantry and cavalry.

They secretly attacked the coalition forces Sun Jian's troops at night, annihilated more than 30,000 Sun Jian's soldiers in one fell swoop, and beheaded Sun Jian's general Zu Mao."

Li Rudao.

Dong Zhuo was slightly startled!

Hahaha!

Old Dong laughed wildly.

"Good! Very good! Very good! Hua Xiong did a good job. He showed the momentum and majesty of the Xiliang Army. He should be rewarded for his true nature."

Dong Zhuo laughed and said.

His men won the battle, and the old Dong was in a happy mood. The shadows of the past were swept away, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiang Dong, the coalition forces are just a bunch of rubbish. How can they resist our brave Xiliang army?"

Li Jue followed suit.

"That's right! Prime Minister Dong, we don't need to be afraid of those rebellious officials and traitors. If they dare to come and die again,

Let's fight hard and make the soldiers lose their armor. We will kill them until they are frightened and tremble with fear."

Guo Si also followed suit.

In the big tent, only Jia Xu and Li Ru frowned slightly.

These two talented men don't think so. The 800,000 coalition troops only lost less than 30,000, which is not even a fraction.

What's more, there are many powerful people in the coalition forces, like Xiakou Qin Qi, who is definitely not simple. In just a few years, he not only resettled the people, but also sent troops to capture the peninsula, Lelang, Liaodong, Xuantu and other counties.

In one fell swoop, the Wuwan people, the Goguryeo people, and the Woju people were eliminated, and the Xianbei people also suffered a lot.

Regarding the grassland races, Li Ru and Jia Xu knew how powerful they were. Even if the Xiliang army faced them, they would not be able to gain any favor.

It's too early to be happy at this time.

However, neither of these two awesome figures spoke clearly.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I heard that the coalition forces are already heading towards Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass to kill us. We cannot be careless and lose Jingzhou.

In addition, the gathering of allied forces has alerted some officials in Luoyang City. Especially those Qingliu.

Secretly colluding with the coalition forces. Once the war becomes unstable, those clowns will jump out. The inspection of Luoyang City must be strengthened.

If you find someone jumping out, you should deal with it promptly to avoid further trouble."

As a counselor, Li Ru must be alert. Unlike Jia Xu, he doesn't care about anything.

Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's number one adviser.

The real awesome person is Jia Xu. Unfortunately, Jia Xu doesn't like to express himself and is very low-key in dealing with people.

It is estimated that even the old Dong does not know Jia Xu's ability.

The only person who knows is Li Ru. After all, both of them are very good counselors. How could they hide each other's secrets?

Um!

"Wen You is right! During this period, some officials did often gather in groups.

While discussing countermeasures, we must strengthen surveillance and not allow people with ulterior motives the opportunity, and must nip it in the bud."

Dong Zhuo said.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I believe that you should lead your troops to Hulao Pass to fight the coalition forces in one fell swoop.

The Prime Minister's personal visit will make the Xiliang army's morale skyrocket and their fighting spirit overwhelming. However, arrangements must be made in the city."

Li Ru suggested.

Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that if he wanted to firmly control the government, he must defeat the coalition forces to ensure the fruits of victory.

The coalition forces were harassing outside Hulao Pass, and Dong Zhuo felt uneasy.

"What did He Yong and Zheng Tai gain?"

Dong Zhuo said.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, He Yong and Zheng Tai probably haven't arrived at the coalition tent yet, and the specific situation is unclear.

However, I guess that even if it has an effect, it will only affect some princes, and it is impossible for all princes to be bribed.

We still have to prepare for the worst, confront the coalition forces head-on, and completely annihilate the coalition forces."

Li Rudao.

"Okay, five days later, I will lead the army to Hulao Pass and annihilate the interrogation army in one fell swoop. I will not let them have a chance to come back to life.

Wen You will stay and take charge of the affairs of Luoyang City. If you find problems, deal with them immediately without hesitation."

Dong Zhuo said.

"As you command!"

Li Rudao.

…

As for the coalition forces, Dong Zhuo's envoys He Yong and Zheng Tai came to Luoyang City. They were acquainted with many of the coalition princes.

Next, the two of them worked separately to persuade the princes one by one, hoping to convince them.

But what?

To their disappointment, the princes who could lead troops to Suanzao were all hostile to Dong Zhuo and other Xiliang troops.

How can you be easily convinced?

"Lord, Zheng Tai comes to visit!"

Guard Road.

Zheng Tai, Zheng Gongye!

Qin Qi was not familiar with this person and did not know the specific situation at all. She had seen information about this person.

Very vague!

"Mr. Zheng Gongye please!"

Qin Qi said.

"I've met General Qin!"

Zheng Taidao.

"Mr. Gongye, please take a seat!"

Qin Qi said.

Liu Ba made tea and pushed it on the table in front of Zheng Tai.

Zheng Tai picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Good tea! I have heard that General Qin has the best tea. After drinking it today, I know that the general's tea is much better than the rumors."

Zheng Taidao.

Qin Qi didn't agree and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Gongye, we are in a hostile relationship. We traveled all the way from Luoyang to Jujube. Why don't you just praise me?"

Let me make it clear that I don’t like to beat around the bush, I like to go straight.”

Qin Qi said.

"General Qin, as long as the general brings his troops back to Xiakou City, Prime Minister Dong will give the general a rank and title, and will also reward the general with a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, and beauties."

Zheng Taidao.

Qin Qi snorted coldly!

Dong Zhuo underestimated Qin Qi too much.

Is Qin Qi the kind of person who has never seen beauty or money?
