"Please, stop for a while, it will be fine in a while."

Her body softened and she fell down, kneeling on the ground, holding her face in her hands, crying in a suppressed voice.

The crowd was driven by swords, just like livestock, pushing from behind to the front, unable to stop at all, and even couldn't see clearly what was under their feet.

Countless footsteps stepped on the woman's side and even her body.

Then came the horses, and the carts, until the woman also had no voice.

The horse's back was a little bumpy, and Li Ru's body swayed slightly with the horse's footsteps. He raised his head and looked at the terrain on both sides, thoughtfully.

"What are you looking at?" Dong Zhuo asked while sitting on the frame of the car, noticing that Li Ru seemed to be thinking about something, leaning on the railing of the car.

"Xiangguo." Li Ru turned around, looked at Dong Zhuo and bowed slightly.

"The terrain here is high and low, suitable for ambushes, and it is easy to break the rear if you use troops here."

He put down the hand holding the ceremony, held it on the rein, and pointed to a distant hillside with one hand.

"Although it cannot be said that there will be princes chasing him, Xiangguo can set up a bright department and several dark departments here. The Ming department guards and the dark department ambush. If there are princes chasing them, they can intercept them and kill them, so that they will not dare to pursue them later."

"Ambush?" Listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo raised his head and looked around.

There are many woodland hillsides near this road, which are indeed suitable for ambush, but they are too suitable for ambush. He grinned and looked at Li Ru again.

"Ambush here, how could the princes not think of it, how could they fall into the trap?"

"This is not a strategy, but a conspiracy."

Li Ru smiled calmly, as if he didn't care whether the princes would see through his plan.

"When the princes come to chase Xiangguo, they must attack. Since it is an attack, they must send troops to fight. Xiangguo has set up troops here, and the princes know that there is an ambush in the forest. If they want to pursue Xiangguo, they can only attack. If you detour, You can also ask the Ministry of Ming to intercept it."

"Even if you are prepared to chase after us in a hurry, our army is in a favorable location and we have the upper hand. The odds of winning are far greater than the odds of losing."

"You mean to say that there is still a chance of defeat among the princes?"

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, seeming to be contemptuous, but his tone was calm instead.

"Xiangguo, there is no perfect strategy in the world. Anyone who makes a plan will definitely make a mistake. Anyone who marches in the army will also have a chance of failure."

Li Ru lowered his head and said as if humbled.

"That's right." Dong Zhuo stood up, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, I will divide an army here to ambush according to you!"

"Thank you Xiangguo." Li Ru bowed down with a smile.

Dong Zhuo looked at him, but suddenly said: "Sometimes I really feel that you are not a kind person, so you should get rid of it."

He put his hands on the shaft of the car as he said: "There is no plan left, come to think of it, it wouldn't even be part of your plan to move me to Chang'an, right?"

"Hehehe."

Li Ru, who was riding on the horse, laughed rather heartily, and shook his head frankly.

"Xiangguo was joking, how can anyone count on everything?"

The army was urging the people to keep moving forward, Li Ru looked at the people in front, and there was no one in the crowd who looked like a human being.

Li Ru moved his eyes away and didn't continue to look, the look in his eyes flickered.

Qin abolished enfeoffment, and Han established enfeoffment. Over hundreds of years, the foundations of the princes of the aristocratic families have already been firmly established, and they are like maggots on the tarsus bones in the country, and they cannot go away.

It was confirmed in the early days that the national power was no longer enough to remove the princes.

Now that the troubled times have come, why not give it a go and give it a try.

······

"Tread, tread, tread." The horse's hooves made a sound between the rocks and soil on the road.

The sound of the army passing by broke the tranquility in the forest, and the stone was lifted to the side of the road by footsteps, causing the bushes on the side of the road to shake for a while, which may have been alarmed by something.

The sky in the distance of the army was reddish, and it was almost dark.

The footsteps of the soldiers were heavy and slow, as if they had been marching for a long time.

"Stop the army!"

A call was heard in front of the army, and the flag was waved, and the army slowly stopped.

"Rest in place!" the voice ordered.

The cavalry fell off the horse, and the infantry walked to the side of the road and sat down on the ground.

Cao Cao has led the army to chase for a whole day, and the men are exhausted.

Although Dong Zhuo moved away with the people of a city, his marching speed was not fast, but he walked for a few days first, and it would be difficult to catch up if he didn't hurry up.

It was almost night, and the soldiers collected some dry firewood in the forest and lit a bonfire.

The horse was tied to a tree stump by the side of the road, and when it saw a bonfire lit nearby, it hid, but was pulled by the reins, and could only shake its head uneasily by the tree stump.

The soldier leaned against the tree tiredly, with the spear in his hand slanted beside him, and his head bowed.

Lighting on the bonfire, but not making hot food, no one has the skill, and no one has the strength.

Sitting by the fire and simply taking a few bites of dry food is considered complete.

The bonfire illuminated the shadows of the men and horses, and the helmets and swords were scattered on the ground. They didn't even set up camp, and they just lay on the side of the road to rest.

The voices in the army were small, and most of them were just gossip between one or two people, chatting casually, and people would fall asleep if they wanted to chat.

Gu Nan sat by a bonfire, put Wuge on the ground, and took out a piece of dry food from his arms.

Just as she was about to eat, she heard footsteps approaching, raised her head, and saw Cao Cao walking towards her.

"Sir." Cao Cao smiled and handed a piece of dried meat in his hand to Gu Nan.

"Thank you." Gu Nan did not refuse, but took it with a smile.

"Ah." With a tired voice, Cao Cao propped his knees and sat cross-legged beside Gu Nan.

"Sir, what do you think the odds of winning this trip are?"
