Chapter 423 The Ambition of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru (Daily Update 4/5)

"Hyung De, Bo Gui, let me see how much you have grown over the years."

Lu Zhi rode a war horse and followed Xu Tian's army south.

Behind Lu Zhi was the special military "Five Northern Army Schools" he recruited during this period.

Although the eighteen vassal coalition forces led by Yuan Shao attacked Xu Tian in the name of the emperor.

But Lu Zhi knew that the emperor was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, which was just an excuse.

After all, this is a war broke out between the princes for their respective interests.

Cao Cao wanted to defeat the only strong enemy in the north, Yuan Shao wanted to regain the lost Jizhou, Gongsun Zan wanted to go south, Yuan Shu wanted to exchange Cao Cao back to Xu County, and Dong Zhuo wanted to re-plan Guandong...

Xu Tian also wanted to determine his position as the northern hegemony by defeating the eighteen princes.

Therefore, there was no righteous battle in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Everything is for the sake of profit.

Lu Zhi owed Xu Tian a lot of favors, and the debts of favors had to be paid back, which was also a form of interest ties.

This time, Lu Zhi's opponent was his students Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan.

The three teachers and students have not faced a head-on battle until now.

In Guanzhong, Chang'an City, a general from Xiliang was invited to Dong Zhuo's prime minister's office.

This person faced Dong Zhuo, who was in power, without any fear, but instead looked calm.

Therefore, this person was once Dong Zhuo's boss, Huangfu Song, the god of war in the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the three heroes in the late Han Dynasty.

Once upon a time, Dong Zhuo was as afraid of Huangfu Song.

Of course, until now, Dong Zhuo was quite afraid of Huangfu Song. After summoning Huangfu Song to the court in the name of the emperor, Dong Zhuo did not return Huangfu Song's military power to the five northern army schools.

"Dong Zhuo, what's the matter with you who brought me here?"

Huangfu Song did not give Dong Zhuo any face and directly called Dong Zhuo's name.

In the entire Chang'an City, few people dare to call Dong Zhuo like this.

Originally, Huangfu Song was quite polite to Dong Zhuo, but after seeing clearly the nature of Dong Zhuo holding the emperor hostage, the wine pool and meat forest, he disdained Dong Zhuo.

"Yizhen, you are still hating me. We are both from Liangzhou and should work together."

"You just say it, what's the matter?"

Huangfu Song was too lazy to go around with Dong Zhuo.

"The emperor has an order. You will lead a army to attack Luoyang. I, Dong Zhuo, have decided to sweep Guandong again."

Dong Zhuo was shy with a big belly, and his eyes were full of ambitions.

The eighteen princes of the 18th vassals attacked Xu Tian and Dong Zhuo's intention to join the war was definitely not as simple as revenge.

Huangfu Song was the god of war in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion and experienced many battles, so he naturally knew what Dong Zhuo meant.

However, Huangfu Song originally believed that Dong Zhuo was hiding in Guanzhong and settled in a corner, and had lost his ambition to compete for the Central Plains.

However, almost everyone was deceived by Dong Zhuo.

"I have been enduring for a long time, but I have not found the right opportunity to send troops to Guandong again. Last time, I sent Niu Fu and Hua Xiong to attack Hangu Pass, but was defeated by Xu Tian and Sun Jian. It can be said that these two people are the biggest obstacle for me to unify the world."

"Now, the princes of Guandong are fighting in an internal battle to attack Xu Tian. Sun Jian's elite troops have arrived in Yecheng, and Luoyang is within easy reach. After taking Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass, you can attack and retreat and defend."

"In addition, the battle between the princes of Kanto was severely damaged. Who would have thought that I, Dong Zhuo, would send troops to sweep Kanto after the war ended?"

Dong Zhuo told Huangfu Song about his grand ambitions, and Huangfu Song's face was solemn.

Dong Zhuo is indeed not that simple.

Huangfu Song said, "This is a plan given to you by Li Rushu? The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit."

Behind the screen, the poisonous soldier Li Ru appeared: "General Huangfu is indeed not an extraordinary person, but you are still aware of it."

Huangfu Song was puzzled: "Since your goal is to wait until the princes of Guandong are exhausted and then send troops to sweep Guandong, why should they send capable generals such as Lu Bu, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji to participate in the attack on Xu Tian and lose their own strength?"

Li Ru replied: "Does General Huangfu really not understand? If the lord did not send troops to join the Guandong princes' coalition, then how would the Guandong princes fight to the death and exhaust their last soldiers?"

Huangfu Song's face became heavier and heavier.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru wanted to play with all the relevant Dong princes in their hands this time.

Who would have thought that the eighteen princes of the 18th vassals were attacking Xu Tian, ​​and that there were Dong Zhuo and Li Ru playing tricks, trying to capture all the princes of Guandong in one place?

Huangfu Song said slowly: "If these generals go to Jizhou, you have no generals to use. Hu Zhen, Wang Fang, and Li Meng are not enough to plot against Guandong."

Li Ru smiled indifferently: "That is the general, you need to lead troops to attack Hangu Pass, Luoyang City, and Hulao Pass."

Huangfu Song's face changed: "Do you want to use me?"

"General Huangfu should not say that. This is the emperor's intention. I have an edict in hand. General Huangfu has been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty for generations. How could he disobey the emperor's intention?"

Li Ru took out the edict.

"you……"

Huangfu Song looked in pain.

At this point, he already knew that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were holding the emperor hostage, and many of the edicts were from Li Ru.

However, Huangfu Song's stupid and loyal character to the Han Dynasty made him unable to openly disobey these orders issued in the name of the court.

At the beginning, Huangfu Song held the military power of the five Northern Army schools. In addition, Huangfu Song had the highest command among the three heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it was possible that he would join forces with the princes of Guandong to successfully attack Dong Zhuo.

However, in the name of the emperor, Dong Zhuo asked Huangfu Song to give up his military power and become an official in the court.

The advisers around Huangfu Song persuaded Huangfu Song to raise an army, but Huangfu Song still did not obey, but instead fell into Li Ru and Dong Zhuo's open plan.

In contrast, Dong Zhuo always held military power in troubled times and ignored the will of the court. Therefore, Dong Zhuo could make even greater noise.

However, it is precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song is Huangfu Song.

"Huangfu Song is the main general, Duan Wei and Dong Yue are the deputy generals, and lead troops to recover Luoyang, the capital to welcome the emperor back to Beijing."

Li Ru knew that Huangfu Song would surrender.

Sure enough, after suffering a painful struggle, Huangfu Song finally compromised with Dong Zhuo and Li Ru: "I obey the order."

"General Huangfu, that's right. During the military dispatch, your children will be taken care of by me, Li Ru."

Li Ru always controlled Huangfu Song and used all kinds of means to prevent Huangfu Song from leaving Dong Zhuo's power, and even avoided Huangfu Song's troops leading to the expedition and surrendering to the princes of Guandong.

"Li Ru, don't go too far!"

Huangfu Song's aura burst out, and Li Ru raised with one hand!

"Huangfu Song, don't think that I, Li Ru, are easy to deal with."

Li Ru mentioned by Huangfu Song turned into a ball of black fog and disappeared from Huangfu Song's hands. Then the black fog appeared beside Dong Zhuo and reconstituted and formed.
