In an extremely urgent situation, Lu Bu accepted Chen Gong's opinion and left Cao Xing and Hou Cheng behind, leading an army of [-] to continue the conquest of Xianbei in Yunzhong County.

At the same time, they were asked to support Jia Kui and Wei Yue in Wuyuan County at any time.

Then he led an army of [-] troops across the Yellow River to support Meiji and block Pang De from the Great Wall.

Chen Gong suggested: "Marquis Wen, Pang De's army went deep alone and did not carry much food and grass. We should notify all counties to strictly guard against the enemy and forbid going out of the city to meet the enemy. Pang De's army will definitely withdraw back to Shuofang County if they lose their source of food and grass. It’s much easier to encircle him.”

"Then according to Gongtai's words, immediately send people to notify the counties."

On the second day after Lu Bu was stationed in Meiji, he received a tip-off that Pang De's army was not good in raiding Guangyan, so he led the army back to Dacheng.

"Report, Chang'an sent an urgent report!"

Chen Gong frowned, and hurriedly took the letter, and after a glance, suddenly realized.

"Marquis Wen, read the contents of this letter!"

Chen Gong handed it to Lu Bu, and said, "Ma Teng has joined Dong Zhuo!"

"Damn Maarten!"

Lu Bu complained, no wonder he wanted to attack Bingzhou, it turned out to be a show of loyalty.

"Marquis Wen, our situation is not optimistic. If Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo attack from both sides, wouldn't our army be in danger?"

Lu Bu sneered, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, then let them come. Do you really think I'm afraid of them?"

Chen Gong persuaded again: "Marquis Wen, we must recall General Zhang Liao."

After much deliberation, Lu Bu still did not intend to recall Zhang Liao. He could still cope with the current situation, so there was no need to bring Zhang Liao back.

Chen Gong was speechless, Lv Bu was competitive and Cao Shuo refused to give an inch, it seemed that Lv Bu would not let Zhang Liao come back without a step.

On February 26, there were only six days left before Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor.

Lu Bu, who had just returned to Taiyuan, received even more terrible news.

Dong Zhuo appointed Ma Teng as the shepherd of Liangzhou, and asked him to lead an army of [-] to attack Sheyan in Shangjun from Beidi County.

Ma Teng's troops were divided into two groups, one led by Han Sui to attack Kucha, and the other led by him personally to attack Fushi, the prefecture of Shangjun.

"Report, Ma Teng's army has surrounded Fu Shi, Cheng Lian can't resist Ma Teng's army, so he asks the lord for reinforcements."

Lu Bu listened to Cheng Lian's report and stared blankly at Chen Gong. Ma Teng even mobilized all Xiliang troops to attack Bingzhou. Did he really think Lu Bu was easy to bully?
Chen Gong wiped off his cold sweat, and said: "Marquis Wen, Ma Teng is certain that we don't have many generals, so he deliberately sent Pang De to attract the main force of our army in the north of Bingzhou, and then he personally led the army to attack the south of Bingzhou. Can't take care of each other."

Lu Bu said angrily: "Gongtai sits in Taiyuan, and I will personally lead the army to repel Ma Teng!"

"No!" Chen Gong hurriedly dissuaded.

Lu Bu was puzzled, "Gongtai, our army has reached such a critical moment, why should we still stay in Taiyuan?"

"Marquis Wen, it's better to recall Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang!"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Even if they can come back, they will not be able to quench their thirst."

Chen Gong persuasively persuaded: "If Marquis Wen doesn't recall the three generals, our Hedong County will not be able to keep."

"Hedong County?" Lu Bu looked puzzled. Now that Ma Teng is attacking Bingzhou, what does it have to do with Hedong County?
Seeing that Lu Bu hadn't understood, Chen Gong explained: "Ma Teng has now taken refuge with Dong Zhuo and is desperately attacking Bingzhou, which means Dong Zhuo ordered it. Back then, we only left [-] defenders in Hedong County to win Dong Zhuo's trust. Why didn't Dong Zhuo attack Hedong County?"

It was only then that Lu Bu realized that there were only [-] defenders in Hedong County, and Bian Xi, the defender, was a Yellow Turban general. If Dong Zhuo sent a large army across the Yellow River, he might not be able to resist it at all.

"Report, Dong Zhuo sent Li Jue to lead an army of [-] troops into Hedong County to take Anyi, and dispatched Zuo Fengling's prefect Guo Si to lead an army of [-] troops to take Linfen!"

"bump!"

Lu Bu kicked the table in front of him flying.

"hateful!"

Chen Gong persuaded again: "Marquis Wen, our army is fighting on the entire eastern front, and we must have three generals Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, and Hao Meng come back to help."

"Okay, order the three of them to withdraw quickly. Daijun will never leave Cao Shuo alive. Take all that can be taken away, and burn the ones that cannot be taken away."

Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore, and face may not be so important in times of crisis.

Chen Gong said: "After the three generals come back, they don't have to go back to Taiyuan. Let Zhang Yang support Jia Kui, and Zhang Liao and Hao Meng go to Lishi, Xihe County to preside over the overall situation."

"According to the official statement!"

Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Dangcheng, Daijun, received a letter from Jin Yiwei.

Zhao Yun summoned Han Meng, Qi Zhou, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Wang Men, and ordered: "The lord has an order. According to the speculation of several military advisers, Zhang Liao will return to Bingzhou in the next few days. Tian Kai, Shan Jing , Wangmen stationed in the city to prevent the northern Xianbei from invading."

"promise!"

"Qi Zhou, you lead [-] cavalry to detour through Gaoliu and wait for Hao Meng to withdraw. You are ready to move into Gaoliu City at any time."

"promise!"

Zhao Yun reminded: "Don't let the other party discover your army!"

"promise!"

"Han Meng, you are holding my banner and stationed in Dangcheng. Every day at noon, go outside Sanggan City to challenge, but don't fight head-on!"

"promise!"

After Zhao Yun explained everything, he led [-] cavalry and left the city secretly.
