Chapter 131 Cao Zixiu, I swear to kill you! 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

"Bastard!"

"Straight!"

"Okay Cao Zixiu, how dare you play tricks on me like this and keep me in the palm of your hand."

"The black hearted thief, you are shameless, took the old man's things, but turned around to attack the old man, I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"Thanks to me trusting you so much, entrusting military power, appointing an official position, and even thinking about marrying my granddaughter to you, you treat this old man's trust like this."

"Cao Zixiu, I swear to kill you!"

There was a sudden upheaval in the palace.

Whether it was porcelain, bronze wares, bamboo slips for writing desks, or candle holders, Dong Zhuo smashed them all to pieces.

Holding a sword, he slashed wildly in the palace.

All the things that made him disliked were chopped off by his sword, and even the pillars in the palace were hit a few times, thanks to the fact that there was no one in the palace at the moment, otherwise he would have become Dong Zhuo's dead soul under the sword.

And the eunuchs and court ladies who were waiting outside the main hall heard the hoarse roar in the palace.

Roaring like a beast.

I couldn't help trembling all over, terrified with fright, my ghosts froze, the two were fighting, and I almost wanted to go first.

Dong Zhuo is not a soft-hearted person.

In the past three or four months, the palace people serving in the palace have deeply experienced Dong Zhuo's cruelty, and they are almost carrying their heads up.

I don't like it a little bit.

That is, the head is in a different place, and the sword and ax are added to the body.

Even if he didn't do anything wrong, if he just appeared in Dong Zhuo's field of vision when he was in a bad mood, he would become a corpse in the next second.

Therefore, listening to the commotion inside so loudly, no one outside dared to go in.

I just thought Dong Zhuo had better lose his temper by himself, and don't let them in.

……

Dong Zhuo roared for a while.

He vented a lot of anger, expended a lot of energy, and was a little tired. In recent months, he has been indulging in enjoyment, and his physical strength is not as good as before.

Dragging the sword back to the seat.

Dong Zhuo propped his hands on the table case, looking from side to side with a gloomy expression, the two documents spread on the table.

One left and one right.

They are Yuan Shao's and Cao Cao's appeals against thieves.

It has been nearly a month now, and it has been sent to Dong Zhuo no matter what.

Although Dong Zhuo had already read through each of them when it was delivered in the morning, but now that he looks at the words on it, he still feels angry.

The blood surged up and rushed straight to the brain.

If these guys stood in front of him, he wished he could draw his sword now and kill them all, and he had to cut them into pieces, otherwise the hatred in his heart would be hard to dispel.

But in these two chapters.

What he hates most is the one written by Cao Cao.

To be precise, it is the Cao family power represented by Cao Cao, which is the camp where Cao Ang is.

As Cao Ang's father, Cao Cao wrote a call to action, calling on the heroes of the world to stand up and attack Dong Zhuo, so how could Cao Ang, a son, not know about it?

Maybe, this is Cao Ang's idea!

After all, this guy is not a kind person, his face is thick and his heart is black, and there are not many people in the world who can wrestle with him.

Actively persuading his father Cao Cao to jump out and deal with him, it seems that it is not a difficult thing to understand.

"Hush...huh!"

Like a bellows, Dong Zhuo took several deep breaths one after another before he managed to suppress the fury in his heart.

But his complexion was still as black as charcoal, gloomy as if ink was about to drip, like a dark cloud covering the top.

Dong Zhuo hates it!

He hated Cao Ang so much!

I can't wait to eat the flesh alive and sleep with the skin!
He also hated what Yuan Shao said, but not so much. After all, Yuan Shao made it clear from the beginning that the chariots and horses were against him.

Even drawing swords against him in public, this is essentially a stand against him.

Yuan Shao stood up at this time and called on the people of the world to crusade against him. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, it was reasonable.

But Cao Ang is different!

He deceived himself severely, playing Dong Zhuo in the applause, playing around like a monkey, and he even shouted hello.

What a shame!

Dong Zhuo had never been so humiliated.

Thinking about giving soldiers and horses, giving official positions, and even arranging a post of prefect for Cao Ang's father, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo had provided the food and grass along the way from Luoyang for this guy in advance.

In the end, Dong Zhuo found out that he had been cheated, and he was cheated miserably.

It was agreed to supervise Yuan Shao, and if there was any change, he would send someone back to report to him.

In the end, Yuan Shao had nothing to do, he raised the banner of begging for Dong without encountering any obstacles, and he was about to march towards Luoyang.

If only that's the case.

It's just that this guy has a dark heart, doesn't work hard, and doesn't work with his things.

However, Cao Ang counterattacked and followed Yuan Shao to send out a message and raised the banner, as if he had to stab Dong Zhuo with a bullet.

Isn't this just eating the east and the west, and taking the left and right together?
This approach made Dong Zhuo feel that he was deeply deceived and played miserably.

There is an illusion that he pays out of his own pocket, gives a lot of resources to the enemy, and then lets the enemy come to attack him. Isn't this the most stupid person in the world?
But when he took the money out of his pocket, he was still happy, thinking that he had made a profit, and even rushed to beg Cao Ang to accept the things.

When Cao Ang said that he was going to strike that day, Dong Zhuo was even anxious.

Thinking about it now, I am really a stupid pig!

……

Dong Zhuo leaned back weakly.

Just when he was about to close his eyes and think about it.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked, only to see that it was Li Ru who was undressed and dressed as a Confucian scholar.

Meet your confidant counselor.

The gloomy expression on Dong Zhuo's face calmed down a little, and then he waved to him.

"Wenyou, something is wrong. Let's take a look at these two items and talk about how to deal with them."

For Li Ru, he is quite trusting.

I never considered the possibility of this guy betraying me, so I told him everything big and small.

Even now, in Dong Zhuo's view, Cao Ang has betrayed him, and Li Ru had spoken for Cao Ang when he left Luoyang City.

There will be no connection between the two.

After bowing to Dong Zhuo and saluting, Li Ru took over the two appeals and quickly scanned them.

Then fell into a long period of contemplation.

He was not as angry as Dong Zhuo, but he could still think calmly at this moment.

Looking at the proclamation belonging to Cao Cao, Li Ru's eyes flickered.

This Cao Ang... is really too much!
I shouldn't have agreed to get on his pirate ship before, but now it's broken.

Now that Cao Ang has made such a move, it is equivalent to breaking with Dong Zhuo. Although Li Ru had a secret agreement with Cao Ang in private, he is still firmly on Dong Zhuo's side.

At least for now.

So the current situation has turned into him being caught in the middle, a bit in a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment.

For example, he could only suppress the matter of Cao Ang, and turned to Dong Zhuo and said.

"Xiangguo, this Cao Ang is only suffering from ringworm and scabies. He just likes to have both ways. In fact, he can't pose any threat to us."

"On the contrary, Yuan Shao is the real worry. His appeal is far superior to Cao Cao's. After raising his arms, there must be a lot of people gearing up to attack us."

"Thus, in the eyes of my subordinates, Xiangguo's top priority is to immediately mobilize the army and advance the defense line all the way to Xingyang and Chenggao Pass."

"This way of keeping the enemy out and lengthening the battle line can leave time for the main force of our Chinese army to react. Once Yuan Shao leads his troops to attack, it can also delay his steps very well."

Dong Zhuo is naturally a man who knows how to fight.

When Li Ru said this, he immediately reacted, took out a map and spread it on the table.

After leaning down and studying it carefully.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said in agreement: "Wen You's words are justified. I will pass down the military order later to let Hua Xiong and others start from Chenggao Pass and go to Xuanmen Pass, Gong County, and Yanshi County. Arm your defenses along the way."

"With these successive barriers, they will definitely be able to slow down their advance and thus consume their food and grass support, so Luoyang should be safe and secure!"

……

For Dong Zhuo's blind optimism.

Li Ru shook his head with a serious expression.

"Xiangguo's words are wrong. Luoyang can't be defended, and it can't be defended at all. The purpose of this strategy is to hold back the bandit army, so that our army can leave Luoyang calmly!"

As soon as Li Ru said this.

Dong Zhuo suddenly turned pale with shock.

His eyes were as wide as copper bells.

If it wasn't for his chief counselor who made the suggestion, I'm afraid he couldn't help but yell loudly.

But even so, Dong Zhuo still frowned, and said somewhat dissatisfied: "What does Wen You mean by that?"

"You know that this Luoyang is not easy to come by. The old man has worked so hard to come all the way from the bitter cold of Xiliang. He has defeated many enemies along the way, and he was able to control this big Han capital."

"How can I give up lightly now, this matter is too child's play, I won't do it!"

Luoyang is the capital of the country.

There are also emperors in the city, hundreds of officials and ministers, and various institutions of the imperial court. It is the political center and administrative hub of the Han Dynasty.

The city has profound meaning.

Taking control of this place is equivalent to being able to give orders in a legitimate way, how can Dong Zhuo give up lightly?

However, in the face of Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction.

Li Ru still insisted on his own opinion.

"Xiangguo Mingjian, even if Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is only a city and a pool. Even if it can own the entire Sili, it is only a state."

"If there are no foreign enemies, then of course this state will be able to thrive."

"But now that foreign enemies have arrived, relying on a single state, no matter the population or the food produced, it is not enough to cope with the consumption of war."

"Is this a wise move?"

I heard this.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Putting his hands on the table, he looked left and right at the map, as if trying to figure out something.

After a long time.

Dong Zhuocai straightened up, still hesitatingly said: "If the old man repels Yuan Shao and others and defuses their offensive, then there is no need to leave Luoyang without foreign enemies?"

It can be seen that Dong Zhuo really wants to stay.

I have been fighting at the border for many years.

It was not easy to come here with the power of a large army, and get mixed up to this point.

Could it be possible to go back to that bitter cold place again?

Facing Dong Zhuo's hesitation.

Li Ru was quite patient.

Still calmly explained: "Xiangguo was able to defuse one attack, can he defuse it ten times?"

"Yuan Shao and others come from all over the world. It doesn't matter if they fail once, they retreat to their respective territories to recuperate for a while, and then they can make a comeback."

"With this repetition, our army is equivalent to fighting against several states with one state, and it will inevitably fall into a situation where the more we fight, the poorer we become, and the more we fight, the more empty we become."

"Sooner or later, you will be beaten until you can't defend Luoyang. Instead of that, it's better to give up now. At least you can preserve your strength and withdraw safely."

"Even if you retreat now, you can take the initiative to choose another base, so you don't run around blindly when you are forced to leave!"

……

Dong Zhuo was silent.

He vaguely remembered one thing.

That was when Cao Ang persuaded him to check and balance Yuan Shao, he used such a set of theories. He once told her that one state cannot fight against several states.

Thinking about it now, this kid really has something.

Regardless of vision or means, it is absolutely not bad, but it is too hateful in terms of position.

When this guy's method is used on himself, it's really uncomfortable.

It would be great if Cao Ang could use it wholeheartedly for himself.

After walking for a while God.

Dong Zhuo suddenly woke up.

Then he thought about Li Ru's point of view carefully.

There is enough effort for half a cup of tea.

Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh.

He had to admit that what Li Ru said was indeed very reasonable, Yuan Shao and others had a rear and a foundation, but he did not.

If he can go back to Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou to recuperate, where can he go?

Liangzhou?
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help shaking his head.

"In Wenyou's opinion, if our army voluntarily abandons Luoyang, where should we retreat?"

These words showed that Dong Zhuo had made up his mind and wanted to follow the advice.

Li Ru couldn't help feeling secretly happy.

He immediately pointed at the map with his hand.

"Xijing Chang'an is the best choice!"

"This is the hinterland of Guanzhong, backed by Liangzhou. To the south is Yizhou with rugged terrain and difficult roads, and to the north is Bingzhou, which is also quite desolate."

"Surrounded on three sides, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the only east entrance that needs to be defended, but because the battle line is deep and the east-west span is too long, the enemy dare not rush in easily."

"Compared to Luoyang in terms of geographical advantages, there is simply a huge advantage. If our army can occupy this place, we will be able to sit back and relax and don't need to worry about Yuan Shao and others invading!"

Dong Zhuo began to study again.

Of course, he knew better than Li Ru in terms of terrain and terrain, and Chang'an was just as he described.

You only need to guard the entrance on the east side, and then mobilize the army to suppress some foreigners in the back and the north, and you can sit back and relax in Chang'an.

At the same time, Chang'an was called Xijing.

It was also the capital of the great Han Dynasty.

Although the meaning is slightly weaker than Luoyang now, it is not much worse. At the same time, although the counties in Guanzhong are not rich, they are not poor enough for him to raise troops.

So many things, combined.

It seems really good.
