Dong Zhuo was very happy that Lu Bu, the unparalleled number one general under Dong Zhuo, was willing to stand up and ask for orders to resist the coalition forces of the princes.

Laughing loudly, he said to Lu Bu:"My son, if you are willing to defend our family against the coalition of eighteen princes, our family must be at ease.

With your unparalleled martial arts, who can defeat you?" ?

As long as you take action, these allied forces of the princes will be wiped out by you like chickens and dogs."

Lu Bu listened to Dong Zhuo's praise and said with a smile:"Father, don't worry, with the child's martial arts and the three The bravery of Qian Bing Prefecture's wolf cavalry will surely wipe out all those so-called princes."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said,"Fengxian, it's a good thing that you have confidence, and our family also has confidence in you.

But after all, the coalition of princes has thirty With tens of thousands of troops, no matter how elite the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is, it will be difficult to defeat ten times more enemies.

What's more, there are Liu Feng and his Red Blood Dragon Cavalry in the Alliance Army. You must not underestimate them.

So, except for you In addition to the three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry at our headquarters, we will send you another thirty thousand troops, all under your command, to resist the coalition forces of the princes."

Lu Bu heard this and accepted.

Then, Dong Zhuo turned to Li Jue and Guo Si and said to them:"Li Jue and Guo Si, you two are waiting for an opportunity behind Fengxian's army with 50,000 elite troops.

If Fengxian defeats the coalition of princes, You immediately bring an army of 50,000 to pursue the enemy with Fengxian.

If Fengxian falls into a bitter battle, the two of you will lead an army to support.

In short, the task of the three of you is to at least hold back the coalition forces of the princes at Hulao Pass and prevent them from entering. Luoyang, of course, it is best to directly maim them and let them run away."

Li Jue and Guo Si listened to Dong Zhuo's order and said in unison:"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we two brothers will definitely know how to do it. Do your best to assist General Lu Bu to defeat the coalition of princes."

Then, Lu Bu, Li Jue and Guo Si walked out of the palace together and walked towards the barracks.

After the three people left, Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo and said,"Father-in-law, in your opinion, do you think Fengxian, Li Jue, and Guo Si can withstand the coalition of eighteen princes?"

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood at this time because Lu Bu took the initiative to ask for orders to fight. He smiled and said:"Fengxian's martial arts is unparalleled in the world.

If it is a fighting general, let alone the coalition of eighteen princes at Hulao Pass, even including those outside Hangu Pass. Ma Teng, no one is Fengxian's opponent.

Moreover, Fengxian's three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry are truly the division of the king. Come to think of it, there should be no army in the world that can defeat Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Unless they sacrifice their troops. , using the numerical advantage to hold down the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to death with one enemy outnumbered, otherwise no one should be able to defeat the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with the same force.

In order to prevent them from using the numerical advantage to hold back the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, our family also specially gave First, we have added an additional 30,000 troops.

In addition, Li Jue and Guo Si have 50,000 troops supporting them from behind. Even if they cannot defeat the coalition of princes, it should not be a big problem to hold them back at Hulao Pass."

Li Ru heard this. Dong Zhuo's words shook his head slightly and said:"Father-in-law, I'm afraid you have overlooked one thing."

Dong Zhuo asked:"What's the matter?"

Li Ru said word by word:"The leader of the alliance army, King Liu Feng."

Dong Zhuo listened. , his expression immediately changed.

He had participated in two battles with Liu Feng. Whether it was to put down the Yellow Turban Uprising or later to suppress the Liangzhou Rebellion, Dong Zhuo witnessed Liu Feng's powerful strength with his own eyes.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo had seen Liu Feng's powerful personal force, and even learned from the soldiers that Liu Feng could condense the energy of nine true dragons and directly kill Zhang Jiao.

During the Liangzhou Rebellion, Dong Zhuo saw with his own eyes the powerful combat effectiveness of Liu Feng's Red Blood Dragon Riders.

Although there were only three thousand people, they were able to defeat tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo himself was sure whether Lu Bu could defeat Liu Feng.

So Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and asked,"Does Wen You mean that he is not optimistic about Fengxian?"

Li Ru just said calmly:"It's not that he is not optimistic about General Lu Bu. It's just that Lu Bu has the overwhelming advantage. , that is, his military strength, I don’t know if he can defeat Liu Feng.

And there is not only Liu Feng in the alliance army, but the general who can kill Hua Xiong within a few rounds. Although he is not famous, he must be powerful and cannot be tolerated. Underestimation.

As Lu Bu's second trump card, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, if it confronts Liu Feng's Red Blood Dragon Cavalry, it is unknown who will win or lose.

Therefore, we need to be prepared for failure in advance."

Dong Zhuo listened. Li Ru's words were taken seriously, and he immediately asked:"Then what should our family do according to Wenyou's wishes?"

Li Ru said:"It's very simple, move the capital."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo frowned and asked:"Move the capital? Move the capital? Where to go? What's the use?"

Li Ru said:"The capital will naturally be moved to Chang'an, the former capital of the Han Dynasty.

The reason why the coalition of princes gathered is to destroy us. In fact, except for a few of them who really want to be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, Most people just do it for fame.

If my father-in-law takes the little emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, in the eyes of those who are interested in fame and wealth, it will be a victory for them to drive us out of Luoyang. In addition, our main force is still there, Chang'an is located in a The Guanzhong area is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so they are naturally unwilling to sacrifice most of their troops to continue attacking us.

So as long as we reach Chang'an, the coalition of princes will inevitably fall apart."

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's analysis, thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said:" In this case, our family will prepare to move the capital. Once Fengxian is defeated, we will move the capital immediately.

But there must be a reason for the move. How can we convince those stubborn ministers in the court?"

Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's question and asked He handed Dong Zhuo a piece of paper, which read:"If there is a Han in the east and a Han in the west, it will be easy for a deer to walk into Chang'an."

Then he explained:"My nephew has written a lot of this note and sent people to bury it in the fields around Luoyang. I believe it will be discovered soon.

And this ballad is catchy and will definitely spread throughout the streets.

The two Han Dynasties in the east and west naturally refer to Chang'an in the west where Emperor Gaozu established his capital and Luoyang in the east where Emperor Guangwu established his capital.

Since the Yan and Huang Dynasties, there has been a saying of chasing the Central Plains. If a deer enters Chang'an, it means moving the capital to Chang'an, and there will be no difficulty.

Wait until When this folk song spreads, we will send people to say that this is a sign from heaven. Those ministers in the court will naturally want to act according to this sign.

At that time, we will not need to explain, and we will naturally move the capital to Chang'an."

Dong Zhuo listened and immediately clapped his hands. cheers.
