At Hulao Pass, the two armies faced each other.

But today, outside Hulao Pass, a group of cavalry appeared. There were not as many people as the two sides, but the sense of oppression made people shudder.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen came from Bingzhou, left Hanoi, passed Chenggao, and reached Hulao Pass.

"Why is he here?"

Dong Zhuo looked at this big flag with the word "Liu" and felt unsure.

Li Ru: "Prime Minister, the King of Hejian doesn't have many people, only [-] cavalry. I don't think he wants to go to war with the Prime Minister."

"Ah."

Dong Zhuo nodded solemnly. It had been nearly a year since the emperor's death. Although this man made no big moves on the surface, he kept making small moves secretly, but it didn't matter.

But as a superior, Dong Zhuo was even more nervous, because a superior would never do anything insignificant.

Now, this person moved without saying hello, "The good ones don't come, the ones who come are not good! Send an order to the whole army to be on guard! Order Niu Fu to guard Mengjin Ferry, and not a single soldier from Hanoi is allowed to enter Luoyang!"

"Here."

At the same time, everyone in the Allied Camp also received the news: The King of the River is coming!
This man who had hidden his existence for nearly a year suddenly appeared in front of Hulao Pass.

After everyone discussed it, they chose to stay put for the time being without ascertaining the enemy's situation.

Under Hulao Pass, Liu Han looked at Dong Zhuo on the city.

"Fat Dong, do you dare to come down and have tea?"

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Hahaha... I haven't seen you for so many years, but His Highness is still as charming as ever!"

Nowadays, the only big man who dares to call Dong Zhuo this way is Liu Han.

Lu Bu on the city said, "Father, let me go out of the city and kill him!"

Not to be outdone, Hua Xiong said: "Prime Minister, there is no need for Marquis Wen to take action. The general is willing to go out of the city and capture the King of Hejian."

Dong Zhuo looked at the generals behind Liu Han, especially the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then at Hua Xiong behind him, and said lightly: "You? You are not qualified! The fierce generals under the command of the King of Hejian will kill you like a melon. vegetable."

Although the people of Xiliang are cruel, they do not tell lies and focus on honesty.

"Today, Gu is not here to fight with you. Looking at today's big men, you, Dong Zhongying, are the only ones who can sit across from Gu and drink tea with me."

"Hahaha……"

Dong Zhuo was very happy when he heard Liu Han's praise: "I am over fifty years old, but I can catch the attention of His Highness. I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!"

But from the perspective of political interests, Dong Zhuo and Liu Han were mortal enemies. But from the perspective of a soldier, Dong Zhuo only admired Liu Han. Dong Zhuo was very happy to be able to attract such a man.

Dong Zhuo felt as if he had returned to the time when he was galloping on the battlefield 20 years ago: "Prepare your horses! I am leaving the city!"

"Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister! The King of Hejian is cunning, you must not leave the city!"

"..."

Dong Zhuo: "No need to say more, I believe that this person will not do such a conciliatory thing!"

#
Dong Zhuo led his army out of the city, leaving only Li Ru and Lu Bu with him.

Dong Zhuo could ignore most people in the Han Dynasty, but when facing Liu Han, he still bowed politely, and Li Ru and Lu Bu were no exception.

"sit."

Liu Han looked at Dong Zhuo and said softly: "Nowadays, there are not many people who can sit opposite this big man. You are one of them."

Dong Zhuo didn't show any pretense, he raised his tea bowl and drank, "Although this tea is good, it's not as refreshing as the wine. Is it possible that your highness is short of wine?"

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Liu Han's hand in pouring tea paused slightly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that after you, Fatty Dong, went to Luoyang, your knowledge did not increase much, but your courage became a lot more bold."

Dong Zhuo: "Without any courage, I cannot enter Luoyang; without any courage, I dare not go out to attend His Highness's appointment."

"I've made progress." Liu Han drank the tea in the cup, "Hong Fei (Dian Wei), bring out the good wine you smuggled before setting off!"

Dian Wei: "Lord, I don't have one."

Liu Han: "Huh?"

Although Dian Wei was reluctant, he still went to get it, "Here."

Dianwei got the wine, and Liu Han and Dong Zhuo continued chatting.

"Fat man, I don't ask for much. You send the queen mother to Hanoi, and I can't see the fight between you."

Dong Zhuo immediately understood the purpose of his visit. The King of Hejian was here to ask for someone. The Empress Dowager and the biological mother of the King of Hejian naturally wanted to save him, but this was Dong Zhuo's trump card to save his life. How could he hand it over so easily.

"Your Highness, please don't deceive me. If I really hand over the Queen Mother, what will happen if Your Highness goes back on your promise? I know your Highness's methods."

"Then what do you want?"

"Hahaha, Your Highness, you don't know this yet? The Shandong rebels are now openly resisting the imperial court, and they have already reached Hulao Pass. Why don't Your Highness share the imperial court's worries first and wipe out this gang of traitors."

"Fat man, few people dare to bargain with Gu. Gu said before that Gu has nothing to do with your affairs."

"The Empress Dowager has a distinguished status and should spend her remaining years in the Luoyang Palace."

"There are 2 people in Liangzhou, 5 people in Shangjun, 3 people in Fufeng, 3 people in Hanoi, 2 people in Nanyang, plus 2 people here. Fatty Dong, you'd better think clearly."

Of course Dong Zhuo understood what Liu Han meant. Liu Han had already told the distribution of the 17 troops, and this was not all his troops. If he really pushed him towards the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes, the coalition forces would double in an instant, and he would still have to Enemy from both sides.

The Empress Dowager will die, and so will her entire family.

"I heard that your mother is living a good life in her hometown in Longxi. Do you want me to add some fun to your life?"

Liu Yu, the shepherd of Liangzhou, definitely wears the same pants as Liu Han. Because of Liu Han, Liu Yu's decree was implemented very smoothly. Liu Yu is now in charge of Longxi County.

"Your Highness, this will not harm your family."

"Isn't it too late to tell me this now?"

"Besides, I have given you Dong Zhongying a lot of face. The emperor and King Hongnong are both in your hands."

"This"

To be honest, Dong Zhuo was very conflicted. The pressure from Liu Han was too strong.

"Ruo Gu guessed right. I'm afraid you, Fatty Dong, have the idea of ​​​​running away. In Liangzhou and Fufeng, I will ask Liu Yu and Huang Zhong to lead people north to retreat to Bingzhou, and Hanoi Gu will also temporarily give way. Can you How much you grab depends entirely on your ability.”

"This……"

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, his eyes asking him if he was a traitor. Li Ru just discussed the matter of moving the capital with him last night, but the King of Hejian knew about it today?
"Chang'an has a vast territory and a large population. It is the place where emperors of all dynasties have established their capitals. Lord Kuang has been operating there for many years. It has a solid foundation and the natural dangers of Tongguan. It can be far away from the attack of the heroes and easy to defend with danger."

"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It is not difficult for a deer to walk into Chang'an."

"The first Han Dynasty in the west was Ying Gaozu who prospered in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on to 12 emperors; the Han head in the east was Ying Guangwu who prospered in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and is passed down to 12 emperors today. With the destiny coming together, if the prime minister moves back to Chang'an, You can be worry-free!"

Li Ru's words last night echoed in Dong Zhuo's ears. Dong Zhuo was like falling into an ice cave. The intelligence ability of the King of Hejian was quite terrifying. Luoyang was like a sieve, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was like a sieve.

Can't stay any longer, absolutely can't stay anymore!
The Prime Minister's Mansion definitely has King Hejian's tricks, kill them all!
The Luoyang nobles definitely have the eyes and ears of King Hejian, kill them all!
Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will send the Empress Dowager to Hanoi."

"Okay, you can rob, but you can't burn down Luoyang and dig up the emperor's tomb, otherwise."

"This……"

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other, both of them were stunned. It was Li Ru's idea to burn Luoyang, but no one said it. It was Dong Zhuo's idea to dig up the imperial mausoleum and steal treasures, but no one said it. Does the King of Hejian know?

Live to hell!
In an instant, their eyes changed when they looked at Liu Han, fear!
"Remember, I will give you face if I step back. If you don't give me face, I will give you face."

Even if Liu Han didn't say anything else, Dong Zhuo wouldn't dare to do it.
