On the third day of the tenth month of winter, Empress Dowager He, who was killed by Dong Yue, was finally buried.

Although at this time, Empress Dowager He's family had been completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo. However, for the dead Empress Dowager He, Dong Zhuo still gave her the last bit of dignity out of the consideration of winning people's hearts.

She was buried with the etiquette that the queen should have.

However, I don’t know if it was Empress Dowager He’s curse. On the day when Empress Dowager He was buried, the Baibo thief who was supposed to be pacified by Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, couldn’t help but unite Luan Tiyu Fuluo, who had proclaimed himself the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, and rushed towards Hedong County.

Therefore, it has to be said that the world's affairs are really rewarded for one return.

Because Dong Zhuo refused to accept the appointment of the Shaofu, Emperor Ling of Han had no choice but to appoint Dong Zhuo as the governor of Bingzhou, hoping to let Dong Zhuo fight against the Baibo thief army and the Southern Xiongnu that were becoming more and more fierce in Bingzhou.

After all, at that time these people had killed Empress Dowager Xihe and Zhang Yi, the former Bingzhou Governor, and defeated the imperial army in Bingzhou.

But who knew that after receiving such an appointment, Dong Zhuo, apart from using this as an excuse to ask the court for a large sum of money and grain, he stayed in Hedong and refused to leave. As the governor of Bingzhou, he did not step into Bingzhou at all.

But the Baibo thief who started in Hedong was unwilling to provoke Dong Zhuo at that time.

After all, Dong Zhuo was famous at that time, and there were tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers under his tent. They were not Dong Zhuo's opponents at all. So during that time, the Baibo thieves had tacitly understood and did not enter Hedong half a step.

Therefore, these should be hostile to each other, either you die or I go to the two sides of death. Instead, they tacitly maintained peace for a long time.

Until... Emperor Ling passed away and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.

It has to be said that the death of Emperor Ling really gave these Baibo troops a golden period to enhance their strength.

At that time, He Jin, the guy, agreed to the clever plan offered to him by Yuan Shao, summoned the powerful generals from all over the world and heroes from all over the world to lead troops to gather in the capital. Therefore, the large number of elite Bingzhou troops who were originally planned to be used to pacify the Baibo thieves were summoned by He Jin to the vicinity of the capital.

Then Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and took away all the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Bingzhou.

So during that period, the Baibo thief commander Guo Taihe and the independent Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo could not help but be surprised to find that they had no enemies.

Therefore, during this period, the strength of Baibo Thief also increased explosively. In just a few months, they could not help but gathered 70,000 to 80,000 people.

With more people under his command, his back will naturally become harder.

After discovering that the bitter and cold Bingzhou was unable to support so many soldiers under their command, Mrs. Guo, who was originally from Hedong, couldn't help but look at his hometown. Hedong County, which is rich in salt and iron, is rich enough to temporarily support his troops under his tent, and can also return home in glory and have a good scenery.

So when October winter and Bingzhou began to cool down, the Baibo thief commander Guo Tai could not help but form a coalition with the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Yufuluo, and fought in the direction of Hedong County.

...

"Taiwei, Hedong County overlooks Luoyang, and the county is rich in salt and iron. If the thieves really capture this county, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After the news that Guo Tai and others entered Hedong came, they were born in the royal family, so they were recruited by Dong Zhuo as the chief of the Grand Marshal Liu Ai. At this time, they could not help but talk about the interests of this matter to Dong Zhuo with due diligence.

However, in the final analysis, this interest only has one meaning. Hedong County cannot be lost no matter what. He must send a capable general to defeat the attacking Baibo thief.

After all, the geographical location of Hedong County is really important.

If Guo Tai and the others were allowed to occupy Hedong County, then as long as Guo Tai generals headed south and crossed the Yellow River, they could cut off the connection between Luoyang and Chang'an.

At that time, if something happens in Shandong, Luoyang will immediately become an isolated city.

And this is obviously not what Dong Zhuo wanted to see.

So after pondering for a while, Dong Zhuo touched the beard on his chin and couldn't help but say: "Hedong's weight in Shaanxi cannot be missed. Therefore, supporting the generals of Hedong must not only be able to be outstanding, but also be loyal."

"This is exactly this. I wonder if anyone in the mind of the Taiwei?"

"this……"

Dong Zhuo was silent for a moment, but then he nodded, "Go, call Boyang here for me, he has been reflecting for a long time."

"promise!"

...

"Brother, brother. Sure enough, it's true that the Grand Marshal has asked you to come."

Soon, Zhao Xu was in the mansion in the capital, watching his brother running towards him happily. Zhao Xu smiled and, as he was ready to set off, he couldn't help but step out of the room.

Yes, after hearing the news, Zhao Xu concluded that his father-in-law would definitely hand over the matter to him.

Because Hedong County is too important to Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, the generals who led troops to support Hedong must make Dong Zhuo feel absolutely at ease.

In this matter, loyalty is the first priority, and then ability.

And Zhao Xu. To be honest, in Dong Zhuo's heart, his son-in-law Zhao Xu can feel at ease whether he is loyal or capable.

In this way, Zhao Xu, who still had conflicts with Lu Bu, naturally became the first candidate.

"God really treats himself well!"

Not long ago, Zhao Xu planned to ask Dong Zhuo for a county magistrate. Now, just over ten days have passed, when the Baibo thieves invaded Hedong County.

For Zhao Xu, this really makes me want to give me a pillow when I’m sleepy.

Hedong County is a truly good place. Not to mention the salt lake, Pi's County in Longmen Mountain is still rich in iron.

This means that if Zhao Xu could completely control Hedong County. With the wealth and resources of Hedong County, according to Zhao Xu's requirements, one county alone would be enough to support 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and soldiers.

What's more, my family is now in Hedong.

Therefore, even though he had not set off, Zhao Xu made up his mind.

‘No matter what, I must defeat the Baibo thief this time and completely control Hedong County!’

With this idea, Zhao Xu came to Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo asked him to lead his troops to send troops to Hedong to wipe out the Baibo thieves, Zhao Xu naturally patted his chest and agreed.

But... well, in order to increase his chances of winning, Zhao Xu couldn't help but make two small requests to Dong Zhuo before setting off.

But before leaving, he asked for two people from Dong Zhuo.
