"Father-in-law, look at our army. After these urgent marches since the New Year, everyone is almost exhausted, and their morale is constantly declining. If they are marching like this, if they don't have a good rest, we may have been exhausted before the princes chased us." Li Ru looked at the army behind him, his face full of fatigue. There are still many people who can doze while marching, which shows that the army is so tired.

Dong Zhuo looked back at the army, and then he realized that the army was really exhausted, so he said, "Okay, today we will have a good rest in this mid-sized Hangu Pass, and we are on the way to Mingyu."

"My father-in-law is wise." Li Ru praised. Since Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, he has liked to hear such flattery words the most. Otherwise, with Li Meng's martial arts and skills, he wouldn't be able to take the position of the Hangu Pass.

Sure enough, when Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's praise, he immediately became furious, and even his previous fatigue was eliminated.

In Hangu Pass, Taishici and Li Meng had already received the news and immediately rushed towards the city wall.

"Li Meng, do you know what to do next." Taishici said with a serious face.

"I understand." Li Meng nodded and responded. Seeing this, Taishi Ci nodded and continued to rush towards the city wall.

On the Hangu Pass city wall, Taishi Ci slowly stood behind Li Meng like a personal guard.

"Li Meng, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let the prime minister enter the pass. If the prime minister's time is delayed, can you bear it?" Li Jue shouted quickly as soon as he saw Li Meng appearing on the city wall.

Li Meng couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard Li Jue's words. He felt that it was really wise to leave Dong Zhuojun and join Youzhou. But soon, he was smart and quickly suppressed the anger. He stretched out his head and looked down, and saw Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Li Jue in front of him. He immediately said with joy, "Prime Minister, please wait, the villain will go to open the city gate now."

Not long after, the door of Hangu Pass slowly opened. Li Meng and Taishi Ci hurriedly met Dong Zhuo.

"Li Meng met with the Prime Minister. May the Prime Minister be blessed and healthy." Li Meng quickly gave Dong Zhuo a big gift and said as he flattered.

Dong Zhuo could not help but nodded with satisfaction after hearing Li Meng's frank words, and said with a smile, "Li Meng, go and arrange it quickly. I will rest in Hangu Guanzhong for one night."

"No, let's make arrangements now," Li Meng said. As he said that, he wanted to walk directly into Hangu Pass.

"Wait a minute, General Li." At this time, Li Ru suddenly called Li Meng. Li Meng was suddenly stopped by for example. He was already a ghost in his heart and couldn't help but feel scared and sweating. Taishi Ci, who saw Li Meng's appearance, immediately glared at him fiercely. The latter then reflected and adjusted his mentality immediately. He immediately turned around and said to Li Ru in a flattering manner, "Mr. Li Ru, I don't know what orders to call a villain,"

"I wonder who is the person next to General Li?" Li Ru asked. For some reason, Li Ru looked at Taishi Ci and felt that this person was not a simple person. This may be a feeling that Li Ru has trained for a long time.

"Oh, you said it was Liu Ci. This is a soldier I discovered recently. When I saw that he was good at martial arts, I promoted him to my personal soldier. Liu Ci didn't even go to the point of visiting the Prime Minister and Lord Li." Li Meng said seriously, but this was naturally discussed before.

"Liu Ci greets Prime Minister, Lord Li." Taishi Ci pretended to be a wooden look and bowed to the two of them.

Dong Zhuo didn't even look at Taishi Ci. After all, for Dong Zhuo, how could he pay attention to his personal guards of a general? Li Ru nodded casually at Taishi Ci.

"Sir Li, if there is nothing wrong, the villain will go and prepare first." Li Meng said with a smile. Stay here for an extra minute, and Li Meng's heart will beat faster.

"Go quickly." Dong Zhuo said impatiently.

"No." Li Meng said, then turned around and walked into Hangu Pass. As for Taishi Ci, he followed silently.

Li Ru still had some doubts when he looked at Taishi Ci's leaving figure, because he always felt that this person seemed a little difficult, but he couldn't tell what it was. Finally, Li Ru shook his head helplessly and attributed this to the fact that he was too tired in recent days.

"Li Jue, Guo Si, you two go to settle the army." Dong Zhuo said.

"The last general will receive the order." Li Jue and Guo Si said.

"Zhang Ji, you took your 20,000 troops to show me these thousands of carts. If something goes wrong, I will not be able to forgive you." Dong Zhuo said viciously. The property of these thousands of cars can be said to be the lifeblood of Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo will never allow these property to be lost.

"The last general will take the order." Zhang Ji said with his fists. Then he brought all the carriages to Hangu Pass with his men. Zhang Ji was still following a young general, wearing dark brown armor and holding a tiger-headed gold spear. Although his appearance was different, his temperament was carved from the same mold as Zhao Yun. If Liu Yao saw it, he would call out his name, Zhang Ji's nephew, the gun prodigy Yuan Da**, Zhao Yun's senior brother, and the king of northern guns.

"The army entered the city." With Dong Zhuo's shout, a large army of 300,000 was heading towards Hangu Pass, which was so spectacular.

When Dong Zhuo arrived, he naturally had to hold a banquet and ate and drank a lot. Li Meng served Dong Zhuo in a arrogant manner all night, and Dong Zhuo was also very happy by Li Meng's flattery, and even the wine industry couldn't help but drink more. If Li Ru had not been reminding Dong Zhuo on the side, he would have been drunk early on.

After the dinner, Dong Zhuo went down to rest. Although Dong Zhuo had been through the battlefield for a long time, such a marching might not be able to do anything to him. However, since becoming the prime minister, Dong Zhuo's sound and wine and blood have long forgotten where he had been on horseback.

It was the third night. Dong Zhuo's army of 300,000 was exhausted because of the rapid march these days. In addition, the retreat along the way made their morale more depressed. It also led to them going to rest like Dong Zhuo early, sleeping very sweetly, and not paying attention to everything outside.

As for this safety issue, they have never been worried about it. Li Meng is Dong Zhuo's man, and with his 20,000 troops, they still need to worry about it. What they need to do now is to have a good rest to deal with the continued journey tomorrow.

However, at this moment, more than ten people rushed out of each of the four corners of Hangu Pass. These people were wearing Li Meng's army's clothes, so naturally no one would care. Each of them was carrying several large clay pots in their hands. These people were sneaking through various small roads in Hangu Pass. Along the way, they poured the liquid from the clay pots in their hands on the ground, and a strong smell of tinder oil suddenly came out. However, the ground where they poured the tinder oil was filled with some hay and other ignition-induced objects.

After an incense stick of action, the group almost walked through half of Hangu Pass. Except for Dong Zhuo, civil and military officials, and the places where the thousands of carriages were located, all the other places had been poured with tinder oil. Especially near the camp where Dong Zhuo's 300,000 troops were stationed, these people were taken care of the most.

The last four people met together, and took out a thing from the arms of the four leaders. The next moment, the four people lit the fire notes without hesitation and threw it on the hay that was cleared by the tinder oil. The flames slowly spread to the entire Hangu Pass.
