The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 495 Dong Zhongying

"It's just this time!"

With a ferocious expression on his face, Dong Zhuo raised his foot and kicked over the desk in front of him.

All the generals and schools of the Xiliang Army in the hall stood quietly with their heads down.

The Kwantung coalition forces were in a hurry, and the coalition forces gathered in Suanzao and Huai counties alone had reached more than [-] people.

In the south, according to the latest news, Yuan Shu, Chen Chong, Sun Jian and others have already gathered more than [-] soldiers in Nanyang and Yingchuan.

The total strength of the Kwantung Allied Army has exceeded [-]. Although Dong Zhuo knew that there must be a lot of water in it, this number still makes people feel heavy pressure.

The faces of the generals of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army also lost the arrogance of the past.

But at this critical juncture, when Dong Zhuo was discussing defense matters with a group of generals, bad news came from Hedong County at this time.

Xu An, the bandit chieftain of the Yellow Turban Army, left Jinyang and led the main force of the Yellow Turban Army southward, entering the northern part of Hedong County.

The Yellow Turban Army in the north of Hedong County is also mobilizing frequently, and is gathering on the front line of Fenshui.

Xu An's heart is clearly revealed, the Yellow Turban Army wants to take advantage of the time when Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Allied Forces are fighting and occupying Hedong County

"The thief is so brave!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes were red, his hair was crowned with fingers, and he cursed loudly.

He really wanted to ignore the Kwantung Allied Forces and personally lead the army to Hedong County to capture and kill Xu An.

But no matter how angry Dong Zhuo was, he still didn't lose his mind. Now that the Kwantung Allied Forces are the main threat, he can't really do that.

"Xiangguo took a break from the thunderous anger."

Li Ru frowned slightly, he knew that Dong Zhuo could not be so angry any longer.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, as the leader of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, must not act like this.

Whether it is anger, fear, or panic, it should not be the attitude that a monarch should have.

These emotions will only make the generals and courtiers under his command feel panic, because this is a manifestation of things getting out of control.

As a king, Mount Tai collapses in the front without changing the color, and the elk rises in the left without blinking.

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but froze. He thought of what Li Ru had said to him before.

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the generals and school in the hall, and sure enough, he could see the worried look on their faces.

"Wen You, how many available soldiers are there in our army near Hedong County?"

Dong Zhuo walked to the side of the lampstand, supported the lampstand with one hand, put the other on his waist, and looked down at Li Ru, at this moment he had regained his composure.

Li Ru's brows relaxed again, he was delighted, he knew that the former hero of Liangzhou had returned again.

"Reporting to Xiangguo, Zuo Fengling still has [-] garrisons, of which [-] are at the pass to guard against the Yellow Turban Army in Shangjun, and more than [-] can be mobilized; Hongnong County has [-] garrisons, and about [-] can be mobilized to go north. Aid Hadong County."

"There are [-] soldiers in Hedong County, and there are about [-] Huqi Huqi under Yufulo's department, a total of [-] people."

"General Niu Fu has [-] soldiers under his command. They are now on the west side of Hangu Pass. They have just left Hedong County and are preparing to return to Luoyang."

Li Ru clasped his hands together and said loudly.

"If the Prime Minister allows it, our army can gather [-] troops in Hedong County."

"The 'Moth Thieves' experienced the battle of Jizhou, and their soldiers were exhausted. Their combat power will inevitably decline, and the available soldiers are even rarer. Even if the Xiongnu and Wuhuan's followers are included in this battle, the maximum number of troops sent will not exceed [-]. Whether it is military strength or combat power, it is far inferior to our army."

"Even if Xiangguo wants to, our army can go directly through Fenshui, take down the cities along Fenshui, and teach Xu An a lesson."

The generals in the hall, seeing Li Ru's confident look, explained the general situation clearly in a few words.

After what Li Ru said, everyone also felt that the situation in Hedong County was not as critical as they had imagined, and their expressions were slightly relaxed.

Dong Zhuo held the hand of the lampstand, tightened it, and said in a deep voice.

"Send soldiers from Zuo Fengling and Hongnong Counties north to assist Hedong, and let Niu Fu go north to return to Hedong County to lead all the ministries and guard against 'moth thieves'."

Li Ru sang a promise and agreed.

Dong Zhuo's expression softened slightly, as if he had thought of something randomly, he asked.

"I saw Sun Jian in the roster of the Kwantung Allied Forces. He is now Luyang City in Nanyang, right?"

When it comes to Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo is still a little wary of him.

In his eyes, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Wang Kuang and others are nothing more than juniors, they can only talk and talk, and they don't have much experience in battle, so they are nothing to be afraid of.

As for Qiao Mao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ni and other governors of the state, the governors didn't have much experience in battle. Most of them were Confucian scholars, and they were not taken seriously by Dong Zhuo.

But among them, Sun Jian is completely different from the other [-]th Army of King Qin.

Sun Jian experienced the battle of the Yellow Turban Army first, followed Zhu Jun and Huangfusong to make many military exploits, and later followed him under Zhang Wen's tent to attack the Western Qiang.

It is precisely because Dong Zhuo has worked with Sun Jian that he knows the details of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's official position was not obtained by charity from others, but by real earning with the sword and gun in his hand.

"Isn't Sun Jian in Changsha County? Can't Wang Rui control him?"

Dong Zhuo asked with a slightly gloomy expression.

Wang Rui is the Governor of Jingzhou, he did not join the Kwantung Allied Forces, and nominally still obeys the orders of the Luoyang court.

"Wang Rui..."

Li Ru hesitated for a moment, but still said.

"Reporting to Xiangguo, the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Rui, was planned to be killed by Sun Jian, and the prefect of Nanyang, Zhang Zi, was also beheaded by Sun Jian."

Dong Zhuo's complexion changed slightly, and he gripped the lampstand tightly.

This Sun Jian was decisive in killing and attacking, so he didn't care about it.

Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, was also one of the officials appointed by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was still wondering why he thought that Zhang Zi had betrayed Yuan Shu when he received information that Yuan Shu was stationed in Luyang City in Nanyang.

Unexpectedly, he was already killed by Sun Jian.

Dong Zhuo was shocked all over, and cold sweat kept breaking out from his back.

He didn't know any of these important news.

Dong Zhuo forcibly calmed down, raised his head slightly, and looked at the generals in the hall.

But he felt a little cold in his heart, it seemed that he hadn't put on his armor for a long time.

Now his head still hurts slightly, which is left over from the hangover.

Li Ru's attention was very sharp, he saw that Dong Zhuo's face was not right, he immediately found an excuse and dismissed the generals in the hall.

"Is Xiangguo all right?"

With the support of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo sat back on the soft couch.

"It's a joke for Wen You."

Dong Zhuo leaned on the soft couch, he only realized now that he was much fatter than before.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed that he hadn't ridden a war horse for a long time, and even traveled by sedan chair.

Luoyang's luxury and wealth fascinated his eyes.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression, Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo might have come to his senses now.

"Xiangguo cheers up at this time, and is not slow."

Li Ru is not afraid of the so-called Kwantung Allied Forces, nor is he afraid of Xu An who occupies Bingzhou.

He was afraid that Dong Zhuo would lose confidence, that Dong Zhuo would lose his ambition, that Dong Zhuo would lose the courage to go into battle.

As long as Dong Zhuo is still the hero of the past, the Dong Zhongying who dared to lead the army to the front.

Even if all the heroes in the world unite, Li Ru will not have the slightest fear.

Li Ru supported Dong Zhuo and spoke solemnly.

"The general trend of the world today is still in the hands of Xiangguo!"
