"I understand. Zhiwen wants someone to defend his or her back, and at the same time, Zhiwen also opens the door to attack for someone." Lu Bu nodded suddenly, feeling extremely happy. There are many benefits of joining forces with Fang Zhiwen. This good place where you can attack and retreat or defend is one of them. As for whether Fang Zhiwen will take away his or her merits in the future, Lu Bu is not worried. The merits on the battlefield will be taken by him based on his ability. If he or she is really stolen by Fang Zhiwen, it is also his ability.

Although Lu Bu was a little greedy, he was not a villain. Besides, as the leader of a force, it is necessary to be careful for the benefit of his team.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly and stared at the map for a while, and felt that Fang Zhiwen's proposal was the best way at the moment. It was obviously not a good idea to participate in attacking Guangping and Quzhou from the front, especially cavalry units such as Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen.

As for the west side, it must be the base of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, and it would not be Lu Bu's turn to intervene. Relatively speaking, Jingxian is definitely the best choice. Before going south, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, and those Yi people all thought that they should take Jingxian. Although they are late now, it is also good to get such a result.

Zhang Liao gave Lu Bu a slight wink at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu immediately understood what his brother thought.

"Yes, what does Fengxian think? Let's consider it an alliance. As for future merits, let's see who will fight well on the battlefield. In addition, Fengxian is responsible for protecting Jingxian County and I will be responsible for transporting supplies. Is this feasible?"

Fang Zhiwen and Tian Feng exchanged smug eyes calmly and smiled and showed Lu Bu a showdown.

"But! This matter is beneficial, and a family has benefited from Zhiwen!"

"Haha, where is there? Just support each other! Okay, the matter is over, let's have a drink!"

....................................................................

Dong Zhuo rushed to Yecheng. To be honest, the prosperous Yecheng was the place where Dong Zhuo liked. But Dong Zhuo was not a fool who only wanted to enjoy it. Of course he knew that it was not the time for him to enjoy it.

This time he was appointed as the General of the Central Army and led the military of Jizhou. This was a great success in investing in He Jin. Of course, this also has something to do with his record in Liangzhou over the past two years. Otherwise, even if he could curry favor with him, he would not have the ability. He would not have been able to get this appointment.

Han Fu's hospitality was very thoughtful and even a little humble. As the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu's cautiousness was definitely a waste of time in Dong Zhuo's opinion. Han Fu did not make any gains for a great situation and great military achievements. However, he thought of saving his strength and retreated backwards. This was really contrary to Dong Zhuo's character, so Dong Zhuo looked down on Han Fu very much.

Dong Zhuo frowned and knelt behind the desk. The two beauties from Han Fu sent by Dong Zhuo have already driven them into the dormitory. Under the bright lights, Dong Zhuo was worried about the situation in Guangping and the surrounding areas.

"My father-in-law."

Dong Zhuo looked up and saw that the person who came in was his confidant counselor, Li Ru, the husband of his youngest daughter. Li Ru was already forty years old. If he hadn't seen that he was indeed talented and knowledgeable, Dong Zhuo did not have a wise man around him, how could Dong Zhuo marry his youngest daughter to Li Ru?

But Li Ru is not bad either. Since marrying Dong Zhuo's youngest daughter, he has always been loyal to Dong Zhuo. Perhaps he really likes his wife, or perhaps he has just rewarded Dong Zhuo's appreciation. Anyway, Dong Zhuo trusts Li Ru very much, and he will not hide any secret matters from him. Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's think tank.

"Wenyou. Come close. Han Fu is welcomed by every day. Why?"

Li Ru looked a little thin, with white skin, phoenix eyes, folded eyebrows, high nose and forehead augmentation, two neat beards that looked like carp whiskers, and a small thigh on her chin. She looked extremely firm, but her eyes were slightly evil, and she was a cruel and ruthless person.

Li Ru sat down quietly, smiled slightly and said, "What else can it be? Of course, I am afraid that you should attack him, father-in-law."

Dong Zhuo smiled and stroked his curly beard with a slight smug look. Dong Zhuo's figure is strong and cannot be called fat now, but his body is very large. He feels very impactful and oppressive when he stands up, especially his expression of being arrogant without anger, who is born as an image of a superior.

"It's really a rat!"

"Don't underestimate Han Fu. Even if Han Fu is not worthy of this person, Han Fu's subordinates are full of talents. Wen has Min Chun, Ju Su, Wu has Zhang He and Qu Yi, and the giant city of Yecheng as its foundation. Even if my father-in-law comes with the emperor's order, I'm afraid he can't do anything to him. Moreover, the logistics supply must come from Yecheng, so you can't count on the center, so Han Fu's affairs... are difficult to deal with!"

Li Ru knew Dong Zhuo's character well. Dong Zhuo was not afraid of you telling the truth or trying to solve difficulties, but he was afraid of you bullying your superiors and concealing them. Dong Zhuo would never tolerate dishonest people, so Li Ru directly presented the difficulties in front of him.

"Hmph! This person's head and rat ends are nothing more than trying to preserve his strength, but the general has already made a statement, so Han Fu must pay and work. The implication is to find an excuse to suppress Han Fu, and it won't work if he doesn't do it!"

Li Ru nodded and pointed to the map. Dong Zhuo's gaze was attracted to Jingxian area.

"My father-in-law, Lu Fengxian and Fang Zhiwen's troops are entrenched in Jingxian County, disregarding his father-in-law's orders, and resisting the saying that we crossed west from the waters and attacked him. We could not help them. As for Gongsun Zan, they were still at Guangzong's city, and Xindu's military strength was not something I could use. Han Fu's troops were huddled in Qinghe County, so my father-in-law might not be able to attract them."

Dong Zhuo slapped the desk hard, shaking the teacup and candlestick on the desk trembled, and the lights were shaking. As the light and shadow swayed, Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's eyes wide open and the fierce aura came out, making Dong Zhuo's expression look even more ferocious, and a fear that penetrated into his bones could not help but surge in his heart.

"Hmph, even so, with the 100,000 Northern Army in Guangping Camp, the 100,000 New Army in Lu Zhixin, plus my 50,000 Xiliang elite troops, and millions of Yiren troops, can't you conquer this small city in Guangping?"

Li Ru shook his head slightly and smiled reluctantly: "There are 100,000 defenders in Guangping City, 100,000 defenders in Quzhou City, and 20,000 cavalry units. In terms of the strength alone, we are of course superior, but attacks are different from field battles. Without five times the strength, it is difficult to succeed. My father-in-law is careful! If possible, use the superior cavalry to cut off the food route and raid the depth, so that Julu dare not look south, making Guangping alone difficult to support it. Then Guangping can be predicted and Julu can be expected!"

Dong Zhuo leaned back, put away his erection, frowned his two thick eyebrows and thought for a while, and couldn't help but sigh and soften his tone: "How could I not know how powerful this is? However, this matter cannot be delayed. If Han Fu can bow his head, the battle of Guangping can be slowly planned. If Han Fu fails to take it, the battle of Guangping needs to be decided quickly and use military merits to block Youyou's mouths."

Li Ru also sighed. In fact, this General of the Central Army, who is in charge of the military position of Jizhou is really difficult to do. He is just a fire! How could Li Ru not know about the battle between Han Fu and the Yuan family? How could Li Ru not know about the conflict between the emperor and his ministers? Li Ru was originally an official in the capital, or even a close minister of the emperor. Later, he had no choice but to go west. How could he not know about the battle between the central city of the capital?

Now He Jin seems to have turned to Yuan Wei. As Dong Zhuo, who was promoted and recommended by He Jin, naturally had to help the Yuan family suppress Han Fu according to He Jin's request. The problem is that Han Fu has been in Jizhou for many years and has civil servants and military generals. How could he be with him?

Although Dong Zhuo is stationed in Yecheng, the army cannot enter the city. It is obviously impossible to capture this giant city. The city is full of Han Fu's elite. Han Fu is even more careful. Every time he meets Dong Zhuo, he is arranged with steadily and will never let Dong Zhuo find a chance to attack. Now Dong Zhuo is surrounded by Han Fu's beautiful wine and beauties every day, so he has no chance to deal with Han Fu.

There was no way to move Han Fu, nor could he suppress Han Fu hand over the army. Dong Zhuo now knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't even feel like hugging the beautiful woman.

What's even more troublesome is that although Dong Zhuo is nominally the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, the border troops from Bingzhou and Youzhou are not defeated by Dong Zhuo at all. They can completely rude Dong Zhuo's orders with just one excuse. Moreover, Dong Zhuo has no choice but to do with these excuses.

For example, Lu Bu said that going south to Guangping is OK, but what about the supplies? If Lu Bu's 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantrymen were all supplied by Dong Zhuo and provided a suitable garrison, then he would obey the orders to go south. If not, the supply of the Bingzhou army would be transported from the north, so it would be better to be in Jingxian County and would not delay the offensive against Guangping.

Fang Zhiwen's answer was exactly the same as Lu Bu. He even didn't change a word in the letter, just changed Bingzhou to Youzhou, and then sent it to him exactly the same. This was simply slapping Dong Zhuo in the face. However, these two people have a greater reputation than Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo really can't say anything. The key is that he does not have the ability to limit them from food and grass!

The same is true for Gongsun Zan. He kept his mouth shut. He didn't move forward anyway. He said that he was to prevent Guangzong from being attacked by the cavalry of the Yellow Turban thieves, and to reduce the losses nearby. After the General of the Zhonglang decided on the tactics, he would take action.

As for the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo originally expected that the Yuan family could cooperate properly in Jizhou. No matter how bad it was, they should provide money and food for themselves, or control the food routes of Lu Bu, Fang Zhiwen and others. However, the Yuan family did nothing, and even rushed to the slaughter of Tao to restrain the Yellow Turban thieves. The shamelessness and innocence of these aristocratic races made Dong Zhuo feel cold.

Although Dong Zhuo was forced to the edge of the cliff where he could not move forward or retreat, Dong Zhuo had to choose a direction. Li Ru thought about it and smiled coldly, saying, "Since that's the case, my father-in-law can only seek one, but not both."

"Wenyou already has any concerns?"

"Well, the attack is okay!"

"attack?"

"Yes, attack, comprehensive attack on Guangping, and fight as big as the war, and do not seek to win the battle, but seek to show momentum and spirit. The only thing that needs to be guaranteed is that our Liangzhou army will not lose. Then, my father-in-law can lead the army away and wait for the opportunity." (To be continued)
