Dong Zhuo waved his hand to signal Lu Bu to wait, and then said to the other generals: "You retreat, Fengxian, Niu Fu, you two stay!"

After the other generals retreated one after another, Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo with anticipation, waiting for him to assign tasks to himself: "Entertainment Father, please give me the order!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Who said that the important task I gave you is to go out for battle? Your task is to stay in Luoyang to protect my safety!"

When Lu Bu heard Dong Zhuo's words, he showed a disappointed expression, but it was difficult to show it, so he could only say "Oh".

Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu's disappointment and smiled and said to Niu Fu: "Niu Fu, it seems that Feng Xian is very dissatisfied with my arrangement. Let me tell him."

Niu Fu hurriedly explained to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, don't think it's easy to stay in Luoyang to protect the prime minister. In fact, this is the most difficult task."

"Think about it, if Wu Fu and Cao Cao were assassinated last time, if they were not your guard, their father-in-law would probably be in danger."

"Now that we are leading an army of 150,000 to fight, the guards in Luoyang City must have been much relaxed. There were still many assassins who wanted to be unfavorable to their father-in-law. Will they take the opportunity to attack now?"

"If you are sent to fight at this time, who will defend the Prime Minister? If the Prime Minister is assassinated, even if we can repel all coalition forces, wouldn't it be in vain?" Niu Fu analyzed the situation to Lu Bu.

After hearing Niu Fu's words, Lu Bu nodded slightly. He had to admit that Niu Fu's words were indeed somewhat reasonable.

"What's more, in addition to the assassins, there are also Han Tao's 100,000 elite troops stationed outside Luoyang City. If you were not shocked by him in Luoyang, if he had any abnormal movements, wouldn't the prime minister be in danger?" Niu Fu continued to explain to Lu Bu.

"And, it is unknown whether three teams can win at the same time. If you stay in Luoyang, if any team loses, you can immediately lead the army to rescue."

"Fengxian, after saying this, do you still think that you are underestimating your talent when you stay in Luoyang?" Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu finished speaking, and asked Lu Bu further.

At this time, Lu Bu understood Dong Zhuo's arrangements and no longer complained. He quickly responded: "It is because Lu Bu is short-sighted and does not understand his adoptive father's long-term strategy. I will stay in Luoyang with peace of mind and protect his adoptive father Zhouquan."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo smiled with relief. He knew that with Lu Bu being guarded by his side, he didn't have to worry even if the 150,000 troops left...

...

The next morning, Dong Zhuo's three armies set off from the north gate, east gate and south gate of Luoyang to fight against the coalition forces of the princes.

The news immediately returned to Han Tao's camp, and Han Chong immediately came to Han Tao's tent and reported the news to him.

Han Tao, who was originally lying on the sickbed, sat up excitedly when he heard the news, and could not see any morbidity.

Although Han Chong knew that Han Tao was "pretending to be ill", he was still very curious to see that he could sit up so vigorously: "Brother, what kind of immortal method did you use to make your pulse disorder? Even the imperial doctors asserted that you were terminally ill?"

Han Tao naturally could not explain to Han Chong that he used a drug formula commonly used by agents in later generations. After many attempts, he made the drug and took it, causing his pulse to become "disturbed", thus concealing it from everyone.

I could only respond in a mysterious way: "I read an ancient medical technique back then, which recorded such a method. I also took a risk and tried it. Unexpectedly, it was really successful, and God helped me."

Han Chong was no longer surprised that Han Tao had wonderful ideas from time to time, or brought out some "ancient books" tricks, or even some novel foods. Seeing him say this, he no longer asked about this.

"Brother, now we have successfully concealed Dong Zhuo and avoided leading the army to fight with the eighteen princes. Now Dong Zhuo's 150,000 army has left, and only Lu Bu and 50,000 troops are stationed in Luoyang City. Can we take the opportunity to do it?" Han rushed to Han Tao and asked.

"No hurry. Dong Zhuo's army has just left and has not yet fought with the coalition forces. We continue to hold our troops and let them fight for a while first to see which side is stronger, and then decide the time to take action and which side to help."

After Han Tao finished speaking, he lay on the bed again, looked sick and said in a weak voice: "Zishan, go and say to your sister-in-law. I feel very uncomfortable. At noon, I want to eat Dongpo pork and ask them to make some for me."

Han Chong looked at Han Tao and admired his acting skills very much, thinking to himself: Who is terminally ill and can still eat big fat? I'm afraid you are the only one.

Han Chong cooperated with Han Tao to respond with a heavy look: "Yes, brother, I'll go and pass the message right away!"

After Han Chong withdrew from the camp, Han Tao lay on the hospital bed and began to think about the development of the battle.

The eighteen princes fighting Dong Zhuo will the result of this classic battle change because of the butterfly effect caused by his arrival?

Han Tao is full of expectations for this...

...

Soon, Niu Fu led his subordinates to the Pingyin Ferry on the bank of the Yellow River and stationed.

Soon after the horse exploration came, the news came that the coalition forces led by Yuan Shao had arrived in Huai County, Hanoi County, across the Yellow River. He sent Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang to bring his troops to challenge Niu Fu and others.

"Zhiran (Li Jue's name), you lead 10,000 troops to confront Wang Kuang at the Pingyin Ferry. There is no need to fight, just block his way." Niu Fu assigned a mission to Li Jue.

Li Jue asked in confusion: "Brother Niu, who is this Wang Kuang? He can repel him by just sweeping the army. Why should he avoid him?"

Niu Fu smiled and said, "Wang Kuang is here, Yuan Shao sent him to explore the virtual and real situation of our army. If there is a head-on battle, even if we can win, we will expose our army's true strength."

"You just need to restrain him. I will arrange for Guo Duo (alias Guo Si) to lead 10,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Xiaopingjin, and to detour behind Wang Kuang."

"When you wait until midnight, you two attack Wang Kuang, and you can wipe out Wang Kuang without any effort!"

Only then did Li Jue realize that Niu Fu was going to use a plan to deal with Wang Kuang and immediately came to fight according to his arrangements.

According to Niu Fu's arrangement, Guo Si led 10,000 troops across the Yellow River and detoured behind Wang Kuang.

In the middle of the night, the two men launched an attack together. Wang Kuang was not prepared at all and was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si, and countless soldiers were killed and injured.

Under the escort of his personal soldiers, Wang Kuang only fled back to Huai County and met with Yuan Shao.
