System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"As my son wrote, he defeated Yuan Shu's army of 60,000, recovered the money and food, and even took hundreds of thousands of Yingchuan civilians with him."

"I'm currently in Luoyang to sort things out, and I can't come back for the time being."

"The letter also asked me to transfer Xu Rong and Jia Xu over there. He was worried that he couldn't hold Luoyang with his limited troops."

Dong Zhuo threw the letter to Li Ru and spoke at the same time.

"Okay!"

"In this way, Yuan Shu will lose more than he gains."

"It's bad, father-in-law. We should send troops immediately."

"Zhu Jun is in Zhongmu, east of Hulao Pass. If he knew Zihe was stationed in Luoyang, he would surely lead his army to attack."

Li Ru said hello repeatedly, but just as he opened his mouth, he remembered that there was another more difficult guy just outside Luoyang.

"Tsk, Zhu Jun is just a commoner!"

"My son is invincible!"

Dong Zhuo said disdainfully.

After these wars, Dong Yu strengthened Dong Zhuo's confidence.

If we say that the Hu people were defeated because they were not good at siege warfare, had low IQ, and were poorly equipped.

So what did Yuan Shu say?

They all defeated the strong with the weak, and this record was achieved through real fighting.

"Prime Minister, Zhu Jun should not be underestimated."

"The reason this man was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si this year was mainly because our military was stronger."

"That doesn't mean he's incompetent."

"Zihe currently has only over ten thousand soldiers and horses. If Zhu Jun unites with the princes of Guandong and borrows some troops and horses to reinforce him, I'm afraid Zihe will be unable to cope."

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was becoming arrogant again, Li Ru hurriedly began to persuade him.

Just kidding, although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both have character flaws.

But you can't say they are incompetent.

Especially Zhu Jun, this man has a strong and fierce temperament, and if he says he will do something to you, he will really do it to you.

Although Dong Yu won battle after battle, Li Ru thought that his brother-in-law was still too young and the other party was shrewd and cunning. If Dong Yu underestimated Zhu Jun, he would suffer a great loss.

"Well, what you said does make some sense."

"Quickly order Xu Rong and Jia Xu to lead their troops to Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo nodded slightly and immediately calmed down.

"Father-in-law, Li Jue and Guo Fan are not in Chang'an now, so why not send Lü Bu there as well?"

Li Ru stroked his beard and reminded meaningfully.

"You, you're still so wary of him."

"Okay, let him lead the Bingzhou Army."

Dong Zhuo immediately understood his son-in-law's thoughts and could only smile bitterly and criticize him.

"My father-in-law is wise!"

Li Ru chuckled along.

In Li Ru's heart, Lu Bu was never one of his own.

In the past, with Li Jue, Guo Fan, Dong Yu and others in Chang'an, Lu Bu could not make any waves.

Now that all three are gone, Duan Wei is on guard against Xiliang, and the internal strength of Chang'an has been greatly reduced. It would be disastrous if Lu Bu rebelled.

The so-called Three Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty refer to Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

These three can be said to be the last glory of the late Han Dynasty.

Zhu Jun, who came from a humble family and worked as a minor official, was extremely hot-tempered and tough.

中牟

Ever since he was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Fan at the beginning of this year, Zhu Jun has stationed his troops here, waiting for an opportunity, ready to lead his troops westward to rescue the emperor at any time.

Zhu Jun looked at the snow outside the house through the window, his face full of melancholy.

"The Han Dynasty is in decline, and our ambitions are hard to fulfill."

Looking at the branches bent by the snow, Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh.

"General!"

"There is a situation!"

A scribe came in and said with a serious expression.

"Zibing, what happened?"

Seeing Zhang Chao, one of his subordinates, looking so serious, Zhu Jun asked curiously.

"General, the Dong bandit has returned and sent a large army to Luoyang. It seems that seeing the chaos in the world, he plans to leave Hangu Pass."

Zhang Chao frowned and spoke.

"what?"

"Luoyang?"

Zhu Jun stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The reason why he chose to garrison in Zhongmu instead of Luoyang was that Luoyang was in ruins and could not provide any assistance to the army.

Zhongmu was a relatively wealthy county within the jurisdiction of Henan Yin. Relying on the taxes paid by the people here and his own military farming, he was able to support the more than 10,000 troops under his command.
