Hu Zhen is a typical Northwest man, dark, tall and dirty. Although he is only in his thirties, his beard is numerous and dense, and he looks like an old man in his sixties. He is outspoken and has no intention of fighting. He immediately continued Dong Zhuo's words and asked loudly: "General, you don't need to fight tomorrow, will we retreat tomorrow?"

Bao Hong, who was sitting next to him, looked at Hu Zhen contemptuously and said, "If we want to retreat, we have retreated long ago, why wait until tomorrow? Now the Grand Marshal ordered us to defend Meiyang to the death, and there is no chance to retreat."

Niu Fu was tall and thin, with fierce appearance, especially his eyes, who were hungry and seemed to have a grudge with anyone. He was the son of Dong Zhuo's friend. After his friend died in the battle, Dong Zhuo raised him to be a human. Seeing that this kid was really better than his sons, he had good martial arts skills, was cruel and ruthless, and everything looked like himself. He liked him very much, so he recruited him as a son-in-law. Niu Fu and Hu Zhen had a good relationship. When he saw Bao Hong's look of despised people, he immediately retorted: "You know, tell us."

Bao Hong glanced at Niu Fu and smiled coldly, "The general is going to attack tomorrow."

Hu Zhen and Niu Fu looked at each other and were quite surprised. The two looked at Dong Zhuo.

"Wei Duwei Bao said it well. Since Shi Tou has given face and has not come to meet Lao Bian for a long time, we will fight Lao Bian tomorrow." Dong Zhuo said loudly.

"General, Lao Bian has 80,000 people, of which there are at least 20,000 cavalry. We only have 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and we are not opponents at all. How can we fight this battle?" Hu Zhen asked loudly.

Bao Hong also looked at Dong Zhuo incomprehensible. Could it be that Dong Zhuo has any other tricks?

Dong Zhuo looked back at Sima Li Ru in the army.

Li Ru was dressed in a cloth robe, very simple, no different from ordinary servants. If he hadn't been sitting next to Dong Zhuo, no one would have known that he was a character. He was in his forties, with a thin face, a long scar on his face, a dull eyes, a deep wrinkle on his forehead, and a melancholy expression. He was originally a prominent family background and was a child of an official. Because of the disaster of the party and bribery, his ancestors died in prison. The tribe members were forced to migrate to Western Xinjiang to avoid disaster.

He was chased by a lackey sent by a eunuch, and more than a hundred people were almost killed. Li Ru was stabbed in the face but did not die, which was a miracle. For more than ten years, he had been hiding in Dong Zhuo's army to avoid disasters. It was not until 184, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion that the court issued a special amnesty for the "party members", and he was able to see the light of day again. Over the past ten years, Dong Zhuo had listened to his persuasion and began to curry favor with the powerful and bribe the eunuch, and his official position was getting bigger and bigger.

(The so-called Party and Prison disaster refers to the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty when foreign relatives and eunuchs alternately controlled the government affairs, bureaucrats and gentry and Tai students united to form cliques and criticized and suppressed the dark rule of eunuchs. Eunuchs rely on imperial power and launched large-scale cruel persecution activities on the party members twice.)

Li Ru nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "General's method is indeed feasible. First, the general can seize the main achievements of defeating the rebels of Xiliang. Second, once Lao Bian and Wenyue are defeated, they will definitely withdraw to Xiliang, which will be considered as the siege of Chang'an. The subsequent battle can be slowly fought. Third, the decisive battle plan of the Taiwei was completely ruined. We not only avoided the loss of the army's strength, but also avoided the embarrassment of head-on conflict with the Taiwei. Fourth, Stone Eye

Seeing that the situation is wrong, we will naturally escape. At the right time, we can still talk to him. Finally, we can consider who this leopard in northern Xinjiang is? Now, he has no conflict with us, and the possibility of his foothold in Western Xinjiang will be extremely slim in the future, so we still focus on utilization. As long as he is in the same temperament as us, cooperation on the battlefield of Xiliang will always be more beneficial than killing each other."

Niu Fu and Hu Zhen were confused and confused.

Bao Hong seemed to understand but didn't understand. He opened his eyes wide in confusion and looked at Li Ru, a little clear, and a little confused.

"Okay." Dong Zhuo took a photo of the case again and said loudly to Bao Hong: "Is the Duwei Bao willing to follow this general to attack the rebels?"

Bao Hong nodded in a hurry. He made military achievements, no one will fight this battle.

Li Su suddenly shouted excitedly, "General, I understand, I understand."

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, pointed at Li Su and said, "Shaoshen, it depends on your skills. You set off immediately and we will meet at Qianyeling in the early morning tomorrow."

Li Hong looked at the vegetable soup in the beard bowl and asked with a smile: "I haven't drunk any wine, okay?"

Hu Zi smacked his lips and said helplessly: "I'm used to it. Since I left Yanshan, I have not drunk a few times. It's very hard to lead troops in the barracks and are bound everywhere. It's no more free and easy than being a horse bandit on the grassland."

Fan Li, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing.

Beard glared at him fiercely and said in a bad voice: "What are you laughing at? What am I wrong?"

Li Hong chewed the cake in his mouth and smiled, "Beard, have you been drinking secretly and caught it again?"

"Oh..." Beard sighed distressedly and said with a frown, "I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I've caught it again by the traitor."

Fan Li finally couldn't help laughing loudly. The soldiers sitting around couldn't help laughing and laughed.

Hu Zi reached out and punched him, shouting angrily: "Don't laugh." Then he pointed at the soldiers around him and shouted, "What are you laughing? Don't laugh."

Li Hong asked the soldiers around him strangely, "What's wrong? Why are you laughing? Did he eat a small stove in public again?"

"Mr. Sima, Jun, ate for three days, haha..." the soldier said while laughing, "We, Lord Yan, accompany him, and wished we could eat Lord. Haha..."

Li Hong shook his head with a smile and said to Hu Zi: "Mr. Wei is awesome?"

Hu Zi said angrily: "His surname is Wei, and I am also Wei. Maybe we were a family hundreds of years ago, but he didn't talk about the mercy at all. You see, he is usually kind and polite to others. He doesn't need to be severely punished when punishing soldiers who violate discipline. But his method of punishing people is too immoral, so it's better to beat me up."

"Didn't he just let you stand on the platform for dinner in public?" Li Hong smiled, "If you feel embarrassed, don't violate military discipline next time."

"It would be fine if I was embarrassed. He also asked Ziyu to stand on it and said that Ziyu was guilty of being lax in supervision. You didn't see Ziyu's face." Beard gestured exaggeratedly, "The eyes were as scary as if they were bull's eyes. I was staring at me tightly, so I didn't even dare to swallow the water."

Li Hong and the people around him suddenly burst into laughter.

At this time, Yan Rou strode over and shouted from a distance: "Hey, what joke are you talking about? Say it again, say it again."

Fan Li smiled and said, "Beard says your eyes are like bull's eyes."

Yan Rou immediately reacted. He walked to Hu Zi, kicked him with the opportunity, and laughed loudly, "I have lost all my face for you."

Li Hong called him down and asked, "Does you officials and those veterans beat and scold soldiers now?"

Yan Rou shook her hands repeatedly and said, "No. If you know this, don't deduct a year's military pay, and stand guard every day. This person can't afford to offend him now, and the punishment he came up with is strange and makes people lose face and feel more uncomfortable than killing him. Especially for me, as long as I have something to do with me, I will be responsible for it. If this continues, I will do it for him."

"Then you should pay more attention and supervise your subordinates more strictly." Li Hong said with a smile, "How is the food recently? I asked around. Some soldiers complained, but they were full of concerns. You are now leading an army of 8,000 people. This military discipline should be done well. If you find that an officer deducts military pay and deducts everyone's money for meals, and you will never tolerate it if you catch one and kill one."

"No matter how powerful Lord Wei is, he only has one pair of eyes, two ears, and a dozen subordinates. He can't control many things. Therefore, the key to whether the military discipline is implemented is yourselves. If the military discipline is strict, the officers will bully soldiers and veterans will bully new soldiers. There will be fewer and fewer open and secret battles among the soldiers. Those bullied soldiers will be protected. The soldiers will live without worrying, and the soldiers will become more and more united. This is a prerequisite for ensuring that the soldiers maintain strong morale and combat effectiveness. Don't ignore it."

Yan Rou, Hu Zi and Fan Li nodded repeatedly.

"Yesterday, I went to Zishan's military camp and found many problems. We started with Lu Longsai, and we were eating in the same pot. From Lu Longsai to Jizhou and to Xijiang, I kept reminding you all the time that this is a commander who led the army to respect and equality for soldiers and his comrades." Li Hong's tone gradually became serious, and he said loudly, "As long as I don't die, this one cannot be changed, and there is no room for negotiation. But yesterday, not only were there officers in Zishan's military camps doing small meals, but also made a reassurance and gave me some '17-fifty-four beheading' to refute me."
