Cao Cao frowned and asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?" I really can't let Dong Zhuo's treacherous plot succeed!

Guo Jia arched his hand at Cao Cao and said: "The current situation is unclear, so it is not appropriate to act rashly." Our army should withdraw to Chenliu in Qianjun County, recruit troops and wait for changes. At the same time, send reliable people to Luoyang to understand the situation, and then make a decision. In addition, send someone to contact the former general to see what he has planned.

Cao Cao nodded, "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true. Just do as Feng Xiao says. He then ordered the whole army to pack up and prepare to withdraw to Qianjun.

At this time, Xun Yu proposed: "If hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban captives are released like this, it will not only be a pity, but also have endless troubles. It is better to take the strong ones among them and use them for my use.

Cao Cao took Xun Yu's suggestion, so he personally went to the captive camp to comfort the prisoners, and asked people to send a large amount of wine and meat to reward these Yellow Turbans to surrender the prisoners. Cao Cao's gesture was not done in vain, and the Yellow Turban prisoners were grateful to Cao Cao. Later, when Cao Cao selected soldiers from among them, almost all of the Yellow Turban soldiers wanted to be selected. In the end, Cao Cao selected 60,000 strong soldiers. was not selected, and Cao Cao did not embarrass them, but let them all go. For a time, Cao Cao's prestige resounded throughout Yingchuan.

On the other side, Chen Chu stationed 130,000 troops in Chaoge. The Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan had already collapsed, and there was no need to continue south. Chen Chu planned to wait for the imperial court's edict in Chaoge before making the next step.

When Chen Chu was stationed in Chaoge, Chaoge Taishou behaved extremely deferentially. Not only did he often invite Chen Chu to banquets, but he also kept sending goods and jade, and once, Taishou also gave Chen Chu ten beauties at the banquet. At that time, Chen Chu's mood was very excited, you must know where Chen Chu, who was born two thousand years later, had experienced such a scene! However, Chen Chu did not accept these ten beauties, not that Chen Chu was a decent gentleman, but it was certain that there were other parties' henchmen among these ten beauties, and his heart was unpredictable, Chen Chu did not dare to take this risk, in addition, due to Zhang Rui's reasons before, the ten beauties in front of him who were far inferior could not charm Chen Chu.

Chaoge Taishou saw that Chen Chu was not confused by women, and he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, so he was even more respectful to Chen Chu.

One day, Chen Chu was discussing with his four generals, when suddenly the guards came to report that the messenger sent to Luoyang had sent a messenger back.

Chen Chu hurriedly summoned him. The messenger went inside to greet him, then took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands. Chen Chu took it, opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

The letter did not say anything else, it was about Dong Zhuo's occupation of Luoyang in the name of the Qing monarch's side.

Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, in his memory, Dong Zhuo should have done this kind of thing five years later!

"Big brother, what is it that makes you so distressed?" Zhang Liao on the side saw Chen Chu frowning, so he asked.

Chen Chu shook his head in distress, and then handed the letter to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's face also changed greatly after seeing it, and he hugged his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Big brother, Dong Zhuo is rebellious, how should this be?!" The

other three couldn't hold it anymore, and Zhang Fei couldn't wait to ask, "Big brother, what happened?" Why are the eldest brother and third brother so expressionful?

Chen Chu glanced up at the three people with anxious faces, and then said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, tell everyone the content of the letter."

Zhang Liao promised, and immediately explained Dong Zhuo's matter in detail.

As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, Zhang Fei said with a grin: "What is the matter with my Dao, this is what I have been doing for a long time!" The eldest brother is not in a hurry, the younger brother only needs 30,000 horses to kill Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo!

At this time, Lu Bu also hurriedly asked: "Lord, the last general only needs 5,000 cavalry, and he will behead Dong Zhuo's head!"

Seeing that Lu Bu came to grab the merit again, Zhang Fei roared with his eyes: "You only need 5,000, then I only need 1,000 for Lao Zhang!" The

two men began to quarrel in the hall.

Seeing that the two were arguing again, Chen Chu suddenly felt irritable. I saw him slap the case and shout: "Shut up for me!" When the discussion is discussed, what kind of noisy and noisy thing it is! The

two saw that Chen Chu was angry, and suddenly Wei Wei stopped arguing. The two lowered their heads and glared at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

"Wen Yuan, Yun Chang, what do you think of this matter?" Chen Chu asked Zhang Liao and Guan Yu, after all, these two people are wise and brave generals, and they may be able to think of a way.

Although the two are good at resourcefulness on the battlefield, they are not good at things that are not purely military. After a long moment, both of them shook their heads in shame.

Chen Chu didn't have the slightest sense of blame, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were not good at playing politics, and it was normal that they couldn't think of a way.

Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh in distress, he only felt a dilemma now. At this time, Chen Chu became more and more eager to have a strategist around him to give him advice.

Zhang Liao and the other four looked at Chen Chu, waiting for Chen Chu's decision.

After a long time, Chen Chu decided to temporarily station troops to sing and wait and see what happened. Chen Chu's decision cannot be said to be wrong, but he did not consider the issue of logistics and supply. It was precisely because of the supply problem that Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao withdraw his army to the deep-rooted Chenliu and Qian counties.

The next day, Chen Chu left Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, and Lü Bu in Chaoge, and he took Guan Yu and hundreds of his entourage to Zhongmu in the south of the Yellow River. Because Chen Chu suddenly thought of someone. This person's wisdom is no less than Guo Jia's, and Chen Chu hopes to invite this person out of the mountain to help him. This man's name was Chen Gong, that tragic figure in later history.

After Dong Zhuo captured Luoyang, he took very clever measures. First of all, he repeatedly emphasized that the purpose of leading the army into Luoyang was to eradicate the eunuchs who caused chaos in the dynasty, and at the same time appeased the people and implemented some policies that were beneficial to the people, which greatly reduced the resistance of the common people to Dong Zhuo, and many people were still grateful to Dong Zhuo, for which many families had Dong Zhuo's ancestral hall; On the other hand, Dong Zhuo treated the courtiers well, and did not kill those loyal ministers who were upright and disobedient to him, but treated them with courtesy, such as treating Cai Yong, Cai Yong was originally very resistant to Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo not only did not kill him, but made him a scholar. Dong Zhuo's actions caused a subtle change in the attitude of the Shi clan officials towards him.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo's various measures at the beginning of the capture of Luoyang were very successful. Although there were many people in the towns outside Luoyang who wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, they had no excuse or opportunity.

Of course, Dong Zhuo's mind could not have done it so seamlessly. These strategies are all from the brain of a person next to Dong Zhuo. This man's name is Jia Xu.

"Mr. Wenhe, what should the former general do if he sends someone to offer his victory?" In the Luoyang Taishi Mansion, an extremely fat middle-aged man sitting on the main seat asked.

This middle-aged man who is as fat as Roshan is none other than Dong Zhuo, who took the opportunity to capture Luoyang a few days ago and then proclaimed himself the Taishi. There were two people kneeling under him, and the one on the left had a thin face, but a pair of eyes were as deep as the sea, which was Mr. Wenhe in Dong Zhuo's mouth, that is, Jia Xu, who was called a poisoner by later generations. The person on the right is very young, and his eyes are very smart, and it is obvious that this person has a lot of flowers and intestines in his belly.

Jia Xu bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo, and asked instead of answering, "What is the Taishi's plan?"

Dong Zhuo said without thinking: "I want the Son of Heaven to summon the former general to return to Luoyang to report on his work." And then..."

Jia Xu smiled, and then Dong Zhuo's words: "Then take the opportunity to get rid of him?" If he can't shirk it, the Taishi will punish him for the crime of resisting the decree. I guess I guessed right.

Dong Zhuo laughed, "It's worthy of Mr. Wenhe!" I can't hide my thoughts from you!

"Does the Taishi want to enjoy the glory and wealth of a lifetime, or enjoy the glory and wealth for a while?" Jia Xu asked slowly.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What does Mr. Wenhe mean by this?"

Jia Xu didn't answer immediately, but picked up a few wines and drank them slowly. Dong Zhuo and the other person watched him, although they were anxious to death, but they did not urge.

After satisfying the appetite of the two, Jia Xu put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "If the Taishi enjoys the glory and wealth of a lifetime, he can't do this."

"Why is that?"

"At present, the situation of the Taishi and the princes outside the Guanwai is that neither can make the first move, and the first to do it will lose the hearts of the people and give the other party a legitimate excuse to launch. If the chances of winning a battle between the Taishi and the princes outside the Guanguan at this time are extremely low, what the Taishi should do at present is to stabilize the Guannai to accumulate strength, and at the same time provoke the princes outside the Guanguan to make them kill each other. When the Central Plains is in ruins, the Taishi will send troops outside the border in a way to save the world, and the world will be decided! "

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes are bright and bright." Wen He is really my son's room! Dong Zhuo praised with joy.

However, the other person raised another question, and saw the young man on Dong Zhuo's right clasped his fist at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wenhe's high arguments are really eye-opening. It's just that Zhong Jian didn't know something, and asked Mr. Wenhe for advice.

Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

"Sir wants to make the princes outside the Guanxi fight against each other in order to reduce their strength, although this strategy is clever, but Zhong Jian thinks it is difficult to achieve."

Li Ru paused, and seeing that the two of them were listening carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, so he continued: "Let's talk about that Cao Cao first, he is a deceitful person, and his subordinates Guo Jia, Xun Yu, etc. are all far-reaching people with far-reaching wisdom, I'm afraid it is not easy to be fooled." And the former general, since he was able to cut off the two main forces of the Yellow Turban in such a short period of time, it can be seen that he must not be a simple person. Although Mr. Wenhe's plan is good, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fool these two!

Dong Zhuo felt that what Li Ru said was also very reasonable, so he hurriedly looked at Jia Xu, wanting to see what he said.

I saw Jia Xu nodding with a smile and saying, "What Zhong Jian said does make sense. But it is not difficult to achieve this strategy. After a pause, he glanced at the two of them with unfathomable eyes, and then continued: "They are not fooled, but others will!" We can give Cao Cao and Chen Chu's cantonment to people like Liu Biao and Liu Yan, are we still afraid that they won't be able to fight?

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru suddenly realized.

"But Chen Chu's strength is too strong, and Liu Yan's generation is afraid that it will be difficult to match the enemy. When Chen Chu eliminated Liu Yan, wouldn't his strength be greater? Li Ru asked another question.

Jia Xu couldn't help but be a little impressed by this Li Ru, and it was not easy to take the problem into account so much.

"Chen Chu's strength is indeed strong, even compared with Taishi, I'm afraid it's not far behind. But don't worry, I've got a good opponent for him. Speaking of this, Jia Xu smiled mysteriously.
