Chapter 427

But there was no chance then.

When Dong Zhuo messed up the government, Dong Zhuo was willing to give him a chance to win him over, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Su Xuan had already sat big in Jingzhou, and Dong Zhuo hoped to use Su Xuan to contain and deal with Yuan Shu, directly giving the position of Jingzhou Governor to Su Xuan, so he had no chance at all.

Of course, even if Dong Zhuo didn't give the position of Jingzhou Governor to Su Xuan, Liu Biao probably wouldn't have wanted to go to Jingzhou at that time.

Because, judging from the situation that Su Xuan quickly took and controlled Jingzhou, Su Xuan had been constantly infiltrating the counties of Jingzhou for several years.

Even if he went, he would only be hollowed out and become a puppet.

When needed, he would just die accidentally.

This is not what he hoped for.

So, he chose Yangzhou.

"... Just wait for me! There will always be a chance!"

"At present, let's take advantage of the warlords' crusade against Dong, when they have no time to be distracted, to straighten out the internal situation in Yangzhou, win over the scholar-officials in each county, and then strengthen the military!"

"Especially the navy, it is very important to Yangzhou! Must pay attention to it!"

Liu Biao thought to himself.

2 days later,

Su Xuan led the army to Liangxian.

He summoned the Dark Guards here and asked: "How is it? Has the situation here been investigated clearly?"

Jia Twelve immediately bowed and reported: "Back to the Lord! It has been investigated clearly!"

"If we want to take Yique Pass, we must first take Yangrenju, and then cross the Yi River to take Yique Pass, and we can go straight into Luoyang!"

"And Yangrenju currently has 5,000 garrison troops, mostly new recruits newly recruited by Dong Zhuo in the past six months, plus some Xiliang troops, and some troops reorganized from the original Sili Colonel's Department or the Eight Schools of the Western Garden;"

"The general guarding the pass is Li Ying, the cousin of Li Jue;"

"This person's ability to command troops is average, and his martial arts cultivation is only at the early stage of Anjin, not worth fearing;"

"In addition, the garrison general here at Yique Pass is Li Xian, who is Li Ying's son and Li Jue's nephew;"

"His ability is also average, and his cultivation is only at the early stage of Anjin, but he is much stronger than his father;"

"In Yique Pass, there are 8,000 garrison troops, of which 4,000 are Xiliang troops, and the rest are mixed troops from the original Sili Colonel's Department and the Eight Schools of the Western Garden or new recruits."

"At the same time, we have already arranged for 60 Dark Guards to infiltrate Yique Pass;"

"These people have at least the early stage of Anjin in strength, and the strongest is at the peak of the Transformation Realm;"

"If the Lord has a need, we can completely take advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation, work from inside and outside, and take this Yique Pass in one fell swoop."

As for Yangrenju?

Jia Twelve didn't mention it at all.

Because Yangrenju is not a majestic pass, it doesn't need such means at all; with the troops Su Xuan brought, he could easily take it.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Su Xuan heard this and waved his hand directly: "At present, the matter of moving the capital in Luoyang has just begun;"

"If we break Yique Pass at this time, Dong Zhuo will have to retreat from Hulao Pass and then directly retreat from Luoyang;"

"It is impossible to truly complete the move of the capital while burning Luoyang City, which does not meet our interests."

"Therefore, Yangrenju can be taken first to block the mouths of Yuan Shao and the others, but Yique Pass can be taken slowly."

"Let's drag it for a month or two first!"

Why does Su Xuan hope to wait until Dong Zhuo burns Luoyang before breaking the pass?

Of course, it's not to help Dong Zhuo.

It's because doing so has the greatest benefits.

For one thing, it can greatly strike the Great Han's Qi Luck and make the Great Han's Qi Luck Golden Dragon further weaken.

At the same time, this can also increase Dong Zhuo's robbery Qi and Qi Luck curse, so that he won't be able to live too long.

For another thing! A destroyed Luoyang and Sili will not be coveted by any warlord.

In this way, Luoyang and even Sili will become a blank slate in the next few years, and no force will be willing to occupy them.

Leaving this place empty is very beneficial for Su Xuan to occupy Sili in the future.

At the same time, it can also prevent Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao and others from thinking about occupying Sili and Luoyang, and let them temporarily shift the focus of hegemony.
