Chapter 600

Although Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, felt a bit like he was pulling back from the brink, determined to suppress the Xiliang rebels.

But Dong Zhuo was not very willing to completely pacify the Liangzhou rebels, always dragging his feet, and never willing to go deep.

Dong Zhuo had calculated everything clearly in his heart.

The Liangzhou rebels were mostly Xiliang people or Qiang people, and some of the Qiang tribes among them had deep friendships with Dong Zhuo; fighting them would be tantamount to losing this friendship, and it would be troublesome if he wanted to pick it up again later.

And it would also cause damage to his troops and generals.

Dong Zhuo never did such a losing business.

Huangfu Song knew Dong Zhuo's thoughts very well, and some people advised him to forcibly take away Dong Zhuo's military power.

But Huangfu Song did not agree, but reported the matter to the imperial court.

The imperial court expressed strong condemnation of Dong Zhuo's behavior.

But Dong Zhuo was on good terms with both He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs in private.

He was not afraid of the imperial court's punishment at all.

And as long as he had military power in his hands and the Liangzhou rebels were not destroyed, the imperial court would need Dong Zhuo's strength.

If they really fell out.

Dong Zhuo would rebel together with the Liangzhou rebels.

He could still become a warlord.

He could advance to attack and retreat to defend.

The situation in Liangzhou just remained deadlocked like this.

And at this moment.

Dong Zhuo heard that Su Li had frontally defeated the main force of the Heishan Army at Mount Taiping and suppressed the Heishan Army in the entire Hebei region.

He also heard that Sun Jian, the Administrator of Changsha, had broken the rebel Qu Xing and beheaded him.

Both had illustrious fame.

Dong Zhuo instantly became worried.

He had a feud with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian had a close relationship with Su Li; now that the power of Sun Jian and Su Li was in full swing, this made Dong Zhuo somewhat regretful.

Why did he offend the two of them in the first place?

If the plan of borrowing a knife to kill by Li Ru in the previous battle to suppress the Liangzhou rebels had succeeded and Sun Jian had been eliminated, perhaps he wouldn't have to put on a bitter face now.

"Li Ru, I have always had a bad premonition recently. Perhaps in the future, Sun Wentai and the extraordinary being Su Li will become a great threat to my heart."

Dong Zhuo suddenly said to Li Ru with a worried face.

Li Ru also frowned slightly, cupped his hands to Dong Zhuo and said: "As long as you, my lord, are powerful enough to sweep across the Guanzhong region, Sun Jian and Su Li are not to be feared."

"Not only those two, but even in the entire world, no one can surpass you, my lord!"

"I control the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and a portion of the soldiers of the Five Schools of the Northern Army, and the imperial court is wary of me; how can I continue to increase my strength?"

"Huangfu Song still has a force of the Five Schools of the Northern Army and the Sanhe Cavalry under his command; you, my lord, can find a way to seize them."

Li Ru narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm, what?"

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this.

Li Ru was actually setting his sights on Huangfu Song.

The soldiers of the Five Schools Camp were divided between Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song; the Hu soldiers in the Five Schools Camp tended to defect to Dong Zhuo, while the Han soldiers were under Huangfu Song's control.

If he could annex Huangfu Song's troops, Dong Zhuo's strength would indeed expand to the point of fearing no one.

It's just that...

Dong Zhuo was also afraid of Huangfu Song.

Being called the God of War of the Great Han was not just empty talk.

In his life, he had rarely been defeated.

Moreover, Huangfu Song also came from Liangzhou and had always been prestigious.

Dong Zhuo thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I may not be Huangfu Song's opponent; if the struggle for power fails, I will surely be imprisoned."

Li Ru's expression remained unchanged, and he said faintly: "Although Huangfu Song has courage and strategy, he has no political vision. As long as we use a little trick and lay out a plan, it is not impossible to eliminate him!"

In military affairs, Huangfu Song is indeed peerless in the world.

But in strategy, Huangfu Song has nothing extraordinary.

"Oh? Wenyou, what brilliant plan do you have to teach me?"

Dong Zhuo became interested when he heard this.

"My lord, don't be impatient; Wenyou will introduce someone to you."

As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed in black and plain clothes appeared beside Li Ru at some point.

Dong Zhuo's gaze fell on this person, and he found that the other party was like a fog, unfathomable.

"Who are you?"

Under Dong Zhuo's questioning, the man slowly reported his name: "I am Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, greetings to the General of the Household..."
