Chapter 87 Playing Dumb Or Really Dumb
“Surname, I think we should take the initiative to fight, while the other side is not stable, split up and reject. As long as we can defeat the enemy with lightning tactics, then can raise the prestige of our west cool army again, at that time, who dares to invade us?” The first person to speak was Li Qiao. As in the west cool army position second only to dong zhuo, he had to pay attention to a lot of time.

When Li Qiao spoke, Guo Si, who was standing at the side, also took the initiative to say, “That’s right. Bing Fayun, take action first. Then why don’t we do it first? The so-called Five Route Alliance Army definitely didn’t expect us to take action first. This is called surprise.”

“That’s right.” General Zhang Ji, who was standing at the side, also nodded in approval. Only Xu Rong remained silent, as if he did not agree.

Xu Rong, Liaodong Renshi. The only one is not born in the west cool dong zhuo department high-ranking generals.

For him to have the glory he had now, everything was entirely up to him. He had led the army to defeat cao cao and Sun Jian, can be said to be a fierce general.

It was precisely because of these achievements that he was able to stand on the palace and discuss matters with Dong Zhuo and the others.

Xu Rong did not say anything, which made Li Qiao, who spoke first, unhappy in his heart. Because of their different origins, they actually rejected Xu Rong. If it wasn’t for his extraordinary strength and incomparably valiant courage, they would have been excluded long ago.

However, even though they had some merits, they were still unable to put them in the eyes of Li Qiu and the others. Seeing that Xu Rong had expressed his stance, Xu Rong did not approve. For a moment, he said angrily, “General Xu, why didn’t you say anything? Could it be that you are afraid? Are you going to collaborate with the enemy?”

As soon as Li Qiao said this, everyone else’s expressions changed greatly, especially Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the first place, who hesitated even more. To say that he was very suspicious, even for son-in-law marotta is also a good precaution at that time, the foster son lyu3 bu4 is also on guard, now fiercely listen to someone to collaborate with the enemy, is naturally a huge change in expression.

Xu Rong simply did not approve of taking the initiative to fight. In his opinion, Chang’an City was tall and strong, and relatively speaking, the siege side would definitely suffer a loss. Why should he abandon the city and take the initiative to attack? Wasn’t this a short-term and long-term avoidance?

But who would have thought that Li Qiao would accuse him of collaborating with the enemy? How could this be tolerated? Immediately, he retorted in anger, “How could I be afraid? Have you forgotten who defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian?”

“Hmph! A little credit is always on the tip of your tongue.” Hearing this answer, Li Qiao’s voice changed a lot.

“That’s right. This is all thanks to the past. Then today, I will make a new contribution. Please, Grand Master, issue an order for me to hit whoever I want. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.” At this moment, Xu Rong was also forcefully squeezed there, and it was impossible for him not to express his stance. Otherwise, with Dong Zhuo’s temperament, I’m afraid that he really will be suspected.

Xu Rong suddenly expressed support for the initiative to attack, and willing to play pioneer, which made dong zhuo very happy. “Good, good. With General Xu’s words, I’m relieved. In this way, everyone will agree. Then let’s discuss the matter of taking the initiative to attack.”

After coming up with a general policy, the next step was to discuss how to fight. That is to say, the coalition army is five, according to dong zhuo meaning, is to send five troops to meet, strive for a break, and then win as soon as possible, re-consolidate their position.

After discussing with the five of them, they finally decided that Li Qiao would attack Cao Cao. Guo attack Sun Jian; Xu Rong attacked Yuan Shao; Li Ji attack liu bei; Fan Zhou attacked Zhang Chao.

Previously, Xu Rong had surpassed cao cao and sun chien, this let li and guo think these two teams are easy to bully, the natural persimmon will pick up soft pinch. As for Li Ji, he found Liu Bei as his opponent. And because Xu Rong has been excluded, this time his opponent was replaced by the strongest Lombardi Division.

Fan thick qualification is not enough to rank in the top four, but can be said to be dong zhuo account of the fifth tiger general, this will be imposed on it, to pay the nameless zhang chao, the most appropriate.

In order to win this battle, this battle, dong zhuo is full of capital, he account for a full ten thousand west cool cavalry, this time sent half of the number, is a team to one thousand, at the same time send thirty thousand infantry to five people, that is, six thousand per team.

In this way, a total of 35,000 people would face the enemy, and in terms of numbers, they were on par with the Five Route Alliance Army.

However, although this distribution was even, it was not fair. Just like for xu rong, what he wants to deal with is lombardi, that is a full twenty thousand troops opponent, he really only one thousand cavalry, six thousand infantry, obviously the difference in strength is too much.

But dong zhuo really don’t look at these, what he needs is victory. Even if Xu Rong drew all the way, and the others won, at that time, only Yuan Ben Chu would be left, and he would not be able to achieve anything.

Things settled like this, dong zhuo strict orders, three days later will go to war.

On the same night that Dong Zhuo made his battle plan, a carrier pigeon flew out from the sky above Chang’an City and sank into the night.

This was news released by the Heavenly Eye members who were hiding in Chang’an City. Because things weren’t too urgent, Zhang Sheng hadn’t used the eagle messenger to train the black eagle. In fact, after several years, Zhang Sheng had successfully trained several black eagles that could transmit information. However, according to Zhang Chao, this item was not allowed to be used unless it was an emergency, so it was temporarily useless.

On the second day after Dong Zhuo began to prepare for the battle, Zhang Chao brought Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and several iron guards out of the city. He had received news from the Heavenly Eye members and began to survey the terrain. Of course, he only said that he was panicking in the city and wanted to go out for a walk.

As for Zhang Chao, most people’s impression was still on Young Master’s plane. Seeing that he would do such a thing, it was naturally understandable.

It was only when the city gate was about to close that Zhang Chao rushed back. However, when he returned this time, he had a confident smile on his face and had a confident look on his face.

On that night, Zhang Chao’s main tent was brightly lit with numerous figures.

The next morning, because zhang chao sleep late, but outside the barracks came lombardi sent special envoy, carelessly to invite zhang chao to the governor’s mansion to discuss military affairs.

Being woken up by Xu Chu on duty, Zhang Chao knew that he was discussing military affairs, so he smiled and said, “This Yuan Ben Chu also has his own intelligence sources! Good, that’s right, let’s see what tactics they have to deal with the enemy.”

After changing his clothes and eating breakfast, Zhang Chao slowly headed towards the Prefecture Governor’s Mansion.

At this point in the governor’s mansion conference hall, lombardi, cao cao, sun chien, liu bei all to come together, they all know what happened, for a time is someone happy and sad.

Dong zhuo unexpectedly want to pre-empt, and at the same time arranged five armies for array, this is what no one thought before.

Originally thought, this time a joint army, can deter dong zhuo old thief, and then force him to hand over the emperor, even did not think about fighting with them, after all, we are just beginning, the family is not rich, the fewer people are fighting.

This was also the reason why the Alliance Army had gathered together long ago, but they did not attack Chang’an for a long time. But never thought, dong zhuo actually can’t calm down, soldiers sent 35,000 people, divided into five ways to attack, this is to meet the saber and soldier, how can there be joy one by one.

Naturally, this is also an exception, such as lombardi is secretly happy in the heart.

The news he got was that Dong Zhuo was divided into the last five routes to deal with their five routes alliance, and regardless of the strength of their opponents, they were all treated equally, that is to say, how many troops you have, the number of troops he sent is the same, so his advantage was obvious.

Lombardi had always been the leader of the Five Route Alliance, and this was of course the number of civil servants and generals he brought with him. To put it bluntly, the other four paths relied on their own breath, only then could they compete with Dong Zhuo.

He had borrowed his own light, but he did not fully respect himself. For example, in the past few days, apart from Cao Cao, no one else had taken the initiative to meet him and discuss military matters. This made him feel like he was being ignored, but it was hard to say anything.

Now, dong zhuo sent troops, so, who is more important is obvious. He also wanted to see how these people reacted. Was he begging for it or not?

When Zhang Chao slowly arrived at the meeting hall, what he saw was a scene where everyone’s brows were tightly knitted.

“Oh? But what happened?” Zhang Chao pretended to be ignorant and asked.

For Zhang Chao, even though he had five hundred elite cavalry, he was still underestimated. Tian Tian only knew how to drink and have fun in the barracks. Otherwise, he would have gone out to play. This meeting had arrived so late. This was the image of a young master. How could he still be like a general leading troops to war?

He already had this impression, but now that he had asked such an ignorant question, he would not be able to bring this impression to reality.

Naturally, no one would argue with him. Everyone was only allies now. Once they rescued Emperor Xian, they might become enemies. If that was the case, the worse this person was, the easier it would be to deal with him in the future.

For this reason, no one went to accuse Zhang Chao of not being right. Instead, they all nodded to him kindly. Only Liu Bei did not, but instead fell into deep thought.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went back and told him that Zhang Chao had two guards beside him. Their martial power was so high that they could fight them for hundreds of rounds without revealing their defeat. Hearing this, Liu Bei was indeed shocked. He thought that only Zhao Yun was a tiger general, but he never thought that even a guard would have such skill.

Doesn’t that mean that Zhang Chao intentionally concealed his strength? How could a person like him not know what was going to happen? And why did he intentionally pretend to be innocent? Was he really stupid, or was he pretending to be stupid?
