Luoyang City, Prime Minister Manor.
Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the commander's seat and had a big belly and a fat brain, looked at the urgent report of Hua Xiong's army being killed sent over from Lishui Pass, and the fat on his face kept twitching.
"Traitor, how dare you kill our vanguard!”
"When I personally lead the army, I will definitely chop off the heads of these eighteen dukes!”
To be honest, Dong Zhuo didn't think they could succeed.
After all, this temporary alliance army was 300,000 strong in name, but each had their own ulterior motives.
He didn't expect to kill Hwa Xiong.
"Godfather, don't worry. I regard the dukes outside the pass as chickens and dogs.”
"Father, please give me a hundred thousand soldiers. I will definitely kill them all!”
The person who stood up and bowed with his hands folded in front of him spoke. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was like a crown of jade, and he was extraordinary.
This person was the number one general and filial son of the Three Kingdoms, Marquis Wen Lu Bu.
As the saying goes, Lu Bu among men, a red rabbit among horses, the Heavenly Halberd, stabbing his foster father!
"My son is brave!"
The fat on Dong Zhuo's face relaxed a little. He sighed and said,
"However, now that the bandits are so powerful and have a great victory, I feel that we shouldn't attack forcefully, we can only use our wits.”
"Wenyou, Wenhe, tell me your thoughts.”
Dong Zhuo's gaze fell on the two people sitting on the front seat on the left.
Li Ru and Li Wenyou had helped Dong Zhuo poison the Young Emperor to death, and they had also persuaded him to marry them, so they were deeply loved by Dong Zhuo.
Compared to Li Ru, Jia Xu, who was listed as the top figure of the Three Kingdoms, did not have much of a presence.
Of course, the biggest reason was still related to his personality.
This was a cunning old man. If not for the fact that he was forced to do so, he would rather not speak than propose any strategies.
He was a person who sought to speak less and make fewer mistakes.
Facing Dong Zhuo's question, Jia Xu once again maintained his usual style of keeping silent.
After a while, Li Ru stood up and bowed with a sinister expression.
"Prime Minister."
"Now that the vassals outside the pass are at their peak, if we rashly come out of seclusion to fight, I'm afraid both sides will suffer.”
"The best way is to use Tiger Cage and Si River Pass to defend the city and wait for them to attack.”
"I have a plan that will force the alliance army to attack the city.”
"Oh?"
Dong Zhuo shifted his butt and suddenly became interested." Wenyou has such a brilliant plan. Why don't you tell me quickly?"”
The alliance army killed Hwa Xiong but didn't dare to forcefully attack. Why?
It was because the two stages were too dangerous.
However, if they were to provoke Hwa Xiong with his head every day, the morale of the army would definitely fall apart.
If he could force them to tackle the problem, Dong Zhuo was confident that his subordinates could beat them up and make them flee.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the backbone of the alliance is their alliance leader, Yuan Shao. As long as we anger this person, they will definitely not be able to sit still.”
"Yuan Huai is Yuan Shao's uncle, and he has Yuan Shao's wife and children in his family. Why don't you execute his entire family?”
"Not only can this act deter those stubborn monarchist factions in the Imperial Court who refuse to obey the Prime Minister, but it can also hang the heads of their entire families at the pass.”
"In this way, if Yuan Shao doesn't take action, the alliance army's morale will collapse.”
After Li Ru finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled into a sly smile.
It could be seen that he was quite satisfied with his design.
Even Jia Xu couldn't help but glance at Li Ru. How ruthless, old friend.
After carefully examining Li Ru's plan, Dong Zhuo's lips slowly curved into a smile.
In the end, he laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, Wenyou is indeed a brilliant plan!”
"Someone come!"
"I'm here!"
The two officers outside the room bowed and waited for orders.
"Bring 500 machetemen and surround the Yuan Residence. After that, execute his entire family and send their heads to the vassal camps outside the pass overnight!”
Dong Zhuo laughed out loud as he said this, and all the fat on his body started to shake.
Although in a chaotic world, human lives were like grass.
However, the only one who was truly bloodthirsty was probably Dong Zhuo.
"Yes!"
After the lieutenants left, Li Ru thought for a while before continuing,"
"Prime minister, this is a rare opportunity. I suggest that you send 50,000 more troops to Mushui Pass.”
"After that, the Prime Minister personally led 100,000 troops to guard Tiger Cage Pass.”
"With this, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be high. It's only a matter of time before we annihilate the vassals outside the pass!”
If he had said this fifteen minutes ago, Dong Zhuo would have agreed without thinking.
But now…
With a plan to lure him into the trap, he began to hesitate.
He knew the situation at Tiger Cage Pass the best. Even if all 300,000 soldiers charged over, they would not be able to spread out.
Moreover, the one guarding Tiger Cage Pass now was Xu Rong, who could be said to be a first-class commander in the world.
After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said,
"No need."
"Let Li Jue and Guo Si lead 50,000 troops to Mushui Pass.”
"Fengxian 'er personally led a hundred thousand troops to Hulao Pass and joined forces with Xu Rong to wait for an opportunity.”
"I just prepared a celebration banquet for you in Luoyang in advance!”
Dong Zhuo, the hero who was willing to give up his wealth to join him in the past, had long since ceased to exist.
Right now, he was thinking about how there were still a few concubines in the imperial harem of Luoyang that had yet to taste human flesh.
How could Dong Zhuo, who had been corrupted by sensual pleasures for a few years, endure it?
Moreover, he also firmly believed that Li Ru's plan had a high chance of success and did not need him to oversee it at all.
"Don't worry, Father. I won't let you down!”
Lu Bu naturally wouldn't refuse such a heaven-shaking merit. He immediately stood up and accepted the order with a smile.
"This…"
Li Ru was a little confused and hurriedly said,"Prime Minister, this is a battle of life and death. We can't be careless."”
"This one still suggests that the Prime Minister go personally. With the Prime Minister's prestige, the soldiers will definitely be able to forget about death, and the rebel soldiers will definitely be terrified!”
After saying that, he didn't forget to give Jia Xu a look.
Why didn't you say something?
Unfortunately, Jia Xu, who had always only sought to protect himself, only pretended not to see it, lowering his head and not saying a word.
"Wenyou filtered it."
Dong Zhuo puffed out his big belly and said indifferently,"With the bravery of Fengxian and the valiant cavalry of Xi Liang, how can we not defeat these mobs?”
After a while, seeing that Li Ru still wanted to persuade him, Dong Zhuo sighed and said unhappily,
"How about this? It's enough to bring the three thousand Flying Bear Army with us!”
The Flying Bear Army was the most elite cavalry under Dong Zhuo.
Normally, they were like the imperial guards protecting Dong Zhuo's safety.
Dong Zhuo was confident that if he sent them to the front line, they would never lose again.
"It's getting late.”
With a wave of his hand, Dong Zhuo's mind was filled with the beautiful faces of the Imperial Concubines. He walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a smile.
Seeing this, Li Ru could only shake his head helplessly. He could not help but sigh,
"Ever since entering the pass, the prime minister's character has changed…"
