Chapter 19

And among them, the faction that was most heavily relied upon and most arrogant

was naturally the direct line of the Xiliang Army, represented by Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Hua Xiong!

This time, Li Jue and Guo Si were ordered to go to the border between Chang'an and Luoyang to guard Wu Pass, used to hold down the Guanxi region.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji remained in Luoyang City.

Hua Xiong, as the representative of the Western Liang Army's direct line, had made great contributions at Sishui Pass.

If Dong Zhuo were to let Hua Xiong go to guard Hulao Pass again,

wouldn't that mean the Luoyang Imperial Guard and the Bingzhou Army were useless?

In other words, the ones who made great contributions and ate the meat were all the direct line of the Xiliang Army.

The Luoyang Imperial Guard and the Bingzhou Army couldn't even drink a mouthful of hot soup.

What kind of situation was this?

The internal affairs of the Dong Zhuo Army, which were already riddled with contradictions, would likely be further intensified because of this!

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a headache.

With a large family and a big business, and more people, contradictions would also increase accordingly.

If one was not careful and failed to balance internal relations, it would likely lead to a major mistake.

"Father-in-law, why not have you command this battle yourself?"

"Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Zhang Ji will follow you to the front line."

"As for Luoyang City, it will be left to this son-in-law and Fan Chou to guard on your behalf."

Li Ru said, cupping his hands.

During this period, Dong Zhuo had not yet completely rotted and fallen.

Regarding the matter of rushing to the front line, he didn't have much resistance.

Moreover, in the current situation, only Dong Zhuo taking the field himself could hold the scene and balance internal relations well.

After listening to Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and agreed to rush to the front line himself.

However, Dong Zhuo seemed to have suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked Li Ru:

"Wenyou, if you are sitting in Luoyang, who will devise strategies for me at the front line?"

Hearing this, Li Ru smiled and replied:

"Father-in-law, Hua Xiong and Gu Yi will continue to be transferred from Sishui Pass to Hulao Pass."

"On this expedition, take that fellow Jia Wenhe along with you."

"With Jia Xu and Gu Yi devising strategies for you together, the Guandong rabble is not worth worrying about."

"Jia Wenhe?"

"That old fellow likes to hide his talents, but he is indeed a capable person."

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, and a slightly hunched figure appeared in his mind.

Jia Xu didn't like to show off in front of people, and his presence was relatively low on weekdays.

But if anyone looked down on Jia Xu because of this, they would truly die without knowing how they died.

"However, compared to this old fox Jia Wenhe,"

"I am still looking forward to Gu Yi's performance more."

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly.
