"It's the Qiang people." The general who escorted the food and grass knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Dong Zhuo, his legs were trembling, and he answered submissively.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he learned that the left and middle Han troops had retreated, which meant that he no longer had any worries, so he relaxed his vigilance.Unexpectedly, just yesterday, the grain transportation team was suddenly attacked by the Qiang people, who took away the grain and grass that he had provided for the past two months.

Dong Zhuo raised his thick eyebrows, staring at the general who answered, his words were full of murderous intent: "Did you see clearly?"

"It's really a Qiang people. Even if you have a humble job, you will never dare to deceive the lord!" Reach out and wipe.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Li Ru, what do you say?"

Turning his eyes to the middle-aged scribe, Dong Zhuo had always listened to the opinions of this visiting son-in-law.

"My lord, all the heroes and commanders around Longxian County are familiar with you, so they definitely dare not do such a bad thing. But the general who transported the food is sure to be the Qiang people. It may be the Dong who lives in the two counties of Beidi and Anding. The Qiang people also joined in."

Li Ru is worthy of being the chief counselor under Dong Zhuo's tent, and he came up with the answer straight to the point with just a few words.

"Eastern Qiang people?" Dong Zhuo's expression was unkind.

"It was my negligence. I missed them."

Li Ru bowed his head to apologize, in fact, he had met the great elder of Eastern Qiang before the rebellion, but he just let him wear his lips, and the old man still refused to nod.

In other people's territory, Li Ru knew how to measure and did not stir up trouble.Since the Great Elder didn't have that kind of thought, he just let it go.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of calculations, it is this group of Eastern Qiang people who ruined his overall situation.

"Li Jue, go and send out all the scouts in the camp and find the camp of the Eastern Qiang people. I will trample them to the ground!"

Dong Zhuo was so angry that he dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, he really wanted to die.

"My lord, please think twice."

Right now is not the time to resort to force, Li Ru hurried out to appease, "The grain and grass have been robbed, and there is not much food in the army. At this time, it is definitely not the best policy to provoke the Eastern Qiang people."

"Hmph, if I don't wipe out these thieves, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart. In the future, no one of these Qiang people will be afraid of me and obey me!"

Dong Zhuo couldn't listen at all at this time, and waved his hand: "For the matter of food and grass, ask Dianwu and Mi Dingke to bring me two hundred carts, and let them each send out ten thousand soldiers and horses, and follow me to destroy this group of people. Eastern Qiang people."

Having a bad-tempered protagonist can be a real headache sometimes.

At least Li Ru thinks so.

Dong Zhuo is good at everything, but his temper is the only one. With the killings he has made in these years, he has become more and more irritable and bloodthirsty, and he is very easy to get angry.

Even so, Li Ru could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade: "My lord, it is not appropriate to have too close contacts with the rebels at this time, for fear of attracting people's eyes and ears. If you are a little careless, leak the news and stab it to the court, it will be extremely detrimental to us." .”

It is impossible for such a big move to remain unknown.In case one day the soldiers under his command shake out nonsense, it is a crime of collaborating with the enemy for decapitation.

Dong Zhuo was very angry, but he could tell the seriousness clearly.He didn't want to go to the dark prison in Luoyang again in his life, even if it was only for half a day.

"Then what should you do in your opinion?" Dong Zhuo sat back on the side of the couch again, clasping his hands on his chest.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ru gave his guess: "The sudden attack by the Eastern Qiang people must be instigated by someone behind the scenes. It is not known whether it is aimed at us, but this person must want to provoke the Qiang people The war between them has made the situation in Liangzhou even more chaotic."

"Don't they want to fight? We might as well withdraw from Liangzhou and make room for them to fight. Anyway, the lord's ambition is not in Liangzhou, let it fend for itself." Li Ru replied with a bow, Liangzhou can be used for Expropriate and absorb troops, but it is absolutely impossible to use them to become hegemony.

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, then hesitated: "If we go back like this, others will laugh at me for being incompetent."

"Your Majesty, I'm worrying too much. Please think about it. The other two roads lost troops. We were the only ones who returned to Guanzhong safe and sound. Isn't that enough to show the strength of your lord?" Li Ru whispered.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you first this time."

Although Dong Zhuo had made up his mind, the anger he held in his heart still made him extremely unhappy.After the general in the tent retreated, he showed a grim expression: "Go and tell Beigong Boyu for me that I don't care about Eastern Qiang people and Western Qiang people. If he doesn't give me an explanation, I can help him be this The leader of the rebel army can also let others take over."

Li Ru bowed and said 'yes', and exited the account.

After convincing Dong Zhuo, Li Ru also breathed a sigh of relief.

The original plan was to use the Qiang people's rebellion to raise Dong Zhuo's status. Now that the two armies have retreated, Dong Zhuo only needs to stand firm in Long County. Given time, the court will definitely use it again.

However, the Eastern Qiang people who broke out halfway ruined his event.

Returning to Guanzhong now, although it can also be favored by the court, compared with the planned result, it is a big discount.

who can that be?

In his mind, he checked the people who were hostile to Dong Zhuo one by one, but he still couldn't release them. Li Ru was a little annoyed for the first time, and the resentment in his eyes was extremely heavy.

If you let me find out, I will teach you to die without a place to bury you!

…………

Not long after, Dong Zhuo's [-] troops successfully returned to Chang'an.

Zhang Wen sighed unceasingly because of this, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He did not expect that his last hope would be shattered just like that.He took the initiative to write a memorial to the court, reporting the results of the battle, and was willing to bear the fault of improper command.

"General Lu, it's been a long time, have you ever been well?"

Dong Zhuo was full of smiles, he didn't know that his good son-in-law almost killed Lu Bu in Xihe Valley that day.

"Thanks to General Dong, I survived the catastrophe."

Lv Bu smiled and said, now he is [-]% sure that Dong Zhuo is the insider of the rebels and also the biggest beneficiary of this rebellion.

There is no evidence, and it is not good to tear the skin directly.

Dong Zhuo exchanged greetings with the generals one by one. When he saw Yan Yi with an unfriendly expression, Dong Zhuo was obviously stunned. He obviously didn't expect Yan Yi to be alive.

From Dong Zhuo's point of view, only the two of them knew what happened that day, and even if Yan Yi pointed it out, he would definitely refuse to admit it.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo became more and more unscrupulous, and even deliberately provoked Yan Yi: "I heard that General Yan's Liangzhou cavalry were all killed. Then why did General Yan run away alone when surrounded by the rebels?" Come out, it’s really intriguing.”

Dong Zhuo's intention in saying this was obvious, that he wanted to pin the charge of colluding with the rebels on Yan Yi.

"Dong Zhuo, why don't I have five thousand cavalry? Don't you have any points in your heart?"

As the saying goes, meeting enemies is divided into jealousy.

Yan Yi gritted his steel teeth and called Dong Zhuo's name directly.If Dong Zhuo hadn't colluded with the Qiang people at the beginning, how could the five thousand armored cavalry under his command be wiped out.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Dong Zhuo suspiciously.

Dong Zhuo seemed to not understand at all, and laughed: "General Yan really likes to joke, if this general knows that you have fallen into the trick of the Qiang people, even if he sends out all the soldiers and horses, he will definitely come to rescue you. I really don't know, I don't know." !"

Seeing Dong Zhuo shaking his head in a pretentious manner, Yan Yi wanted to hit someone on the spot, but the young man beside him grabbed his wrist.

"Liangzhou Jiaqi is gone, isn't there still the Flying Bear Army under General Dong's command? We must be more careful then, and don't repeat the same mistakes."
