Unexpectedly, this time the old general stood on the same side as Dong Zhuo. "Military books are dead, but the person leading the troops is alive. When facing off on the battlefield, one must first consider the temperament of the opponent. First, this time the Long Xiang Army will attack our border first. They will not take any prisoners, and it is inevitable that they will massacre the entire city. The strategy of conciliation is a joke to both Liang Mang and Liang Mang. Second, as Dong Zhuo said, the Long Xiang Army's original intention was to take a detour and take over Tile-Building Gentleman's Pavilion, Ligu, Maolong, and the other four towns. As for how many people will survive after the battle, I think Xu Xiao does not care at all. That young man with astonishing martial strength will not care even less. Using a lone army and a single battle, they do not expect to defeat half of the Southern Dynasty's military strength, but they want to destroy the morale and popular sentiment that the Southern Dynasty spent more than ten years to accumulate. This is where Beiliang's evil intentions lie. When the next battle begins, the Beiliang army will be wiped out and trampled under horse hooves. With the example of the past, who dares not to surrender? Third, I guess that after the Long Xiang Army goes north in one spurt of energy, there will definitely be a follow-up force, perhaps around fifty thousand men. Whether or not they will attack is uncertain. We can choose whether to fight or not. If the Long Xiang Army swallows Ligu and Maolong, then we will really have to fight. If they can't, then we can catch our breath. As for what Assistant Minister Liu is worried about, the Beiliang army wants to tilt our border forces to the west and tear open a hole for the army to advance from the northeast. Of course, it is not impossible. However, Assistant Minister Liu may not know that in order to prevent the Beiliang army from merging with Gu Jiantang's eastern front, the central front has been a large pocket. Even if the Beiliang army allows them to advance eight hundred li in one go and fill it with one hundred and sixty thousand men, they may not be able to fill it afterwards. If it really comes to that point, it will not be us or even the King of Beiliang and Gu Jiantang who have the final say. Only our Emperor and the Zhao family's son can make the final decision. It's not convenient for me to say too much about the central front. I hope that Assistant Minister Liu can forgive me. "
The young official was in fear and trepidation. He was also proud that Huang Songpu, the King of the Southern Courtyard, had personally explained his doubts. He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Liu Shu's knowledge is shallow."
As the King of the Southern Courtyard, Huang Songpu was nominally in charge of 400,000 soldiers in the Southern Dynasty. However, the Empress had always supported the Beimang Generals and Preceptors. They each had their own system and restricted each other. Moreover, Huang Songpu had gradually retreated behind the scenes in recent years. The so-called title of the King of the Southern Courtyard would sooner or later belong to someone else. If it were not for the urgency of this war and the need to intervene, he would have already faded out of the Southern Dynasty. Huang Songpu had never been on good terms with the two Generals, Liu Gui and Yang Yuanzan. He also did not have a good impression of Dong Zhuo. It was only when the situation was truly chaotic that Huang Songpu felt that he was unable to make ends meet. This was especially so after the death of the only one he could rely on, Hong Gu 'an, which made the old general even more disheartened.
A clan leader of the Jia Sect frowned and said, "Since that lone army wants to attack Ligu Maolong regardless of the consequences, are we just going to let the remaining 4,000 Beiliang cavalry run amok in the territory?"
Everyone knew that Liu Gui had a good relationship with the fat man. However, seeing the fat man's eyes darting around, the tall and mighty old general could not help but feel angry. He approached the fat man and gave him a hard kick. "You scoundrel who doesn't wake up early if there are no benefits. You've already spilled a few catties of saliva. Aren't you just trying to solve this mess? Even the Great King of the South Courtyard has spoken up for you. Why didn't you take advantage of the situation this time? "
Dong Zhuo had a troubled expression. "The 4,000 Long Xiang Army is still manageable. However, that person, Tu Second Son, is really troublesome. If the two sides face each other and he comes to take the head of a general from an army of 10,000 and kills me, my two beautiful daughters-in-law will become widows. Won't they cry themselves to death?"
Liu Gui raised his leg and was about to kick again when the fat man hurriedly jumped away. The old general laughed and scolded, "Your family's daughters-in-law are the daughter of the Mountain Master of Bing Ti Mountain. Do you think you don't have powerful thugs by your side? If you don't dare to go, go to Bing Ti Mountain and call for help. It's best if you bring that person with you to Ligu. I'll allow you to bring 8,000 men to Ligu. No more than that. If His Majesty holds you accountable, this old man will take responsibility for you! If you dare to bring even one more soldier, just pretend this old man didn't say anything. "
Dong Zhuo said half-believingly, "Really? Don't turn your back on me after this. Right now, all the civil and military officials in the imperial court can hear you. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes and muttered, "F * ck, it seems that when the time comes, no one will be willing to stand up and prove my innocence."
The pillars of the Southern Dynasty all smiled knowingly.
This Dong Zhuo was sinister, but he never lacked self-awareness.
Liu Gui said angrily, "This old man's fart is more useful than your oath!"
Dong Zhuo rubbed his hands and laughed. "If that's the case, then I'll go to Maolong and throw away my life. This kind of strenuous and unrewarding dirty work, I'll do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo trotted away as if there was oil on the soles of his feet.
Liu Gui and Yang Yuanzan, who had a good personal relationship, also left one after another. Huang Songpu still had to stay in the imperial court.
Liu Gui waited outside the hall until Yang Yuanzan came down the stone steps. The latter was known for being a man of few words. He calmly asked, "Dong Zhuo is going to Maolong and not Ligu?"
Liu Gui laughed and said, "It's obvious that the Long Xiang Army will slaughter Ligu. This bastard is lazy to the bone. If he can sit, he won't stand. If he can lie down, he won't sit. "
Yang Yuanzan smiled old-fashioned.
Liu Gui suddenly asked, "What do you think of that person who slaughters the second son?"
Yang Yuanzan said indifferently, "On the battlefield, there is no immortal enemy."
Dong Zhuo ran out like a wisp of smoke and did not forget to look back at the hall. He dug his ears and sighed, "It's so f * cking noisy! Alas, when can I be the only voice here? "

Tao De Sect was built at the beginning of the Yellow River. It was rumored that there was a Hovering Mountain behind Heaven's Gate. The Imperial Preceptor, who had transcended mortality and entered the Divine Realm, cultivated immortality there and did not care about worldly affairs for thirty years.
Qilin Immortal had six outstanding disciples. Other than the two immortals who were guarding Heaven's Gate and the foot of the mountain, the rest were scattered all over Beimang. However, when an old monk sat outside the fog of Heaven's Gate of Tao De Sect, the four immortals who were preaching outside returned to Tao De Sect except for the one in the palace.
The kind-looking old monk did not say anything and sat down outside Heaven's Gate.
Heaven's Gate was a natural hole formed by two towering peaks facing each other. Clouds and fog lingered inside. Outside the gate, there were 999 jade steps. Even if one walked up the steps and looked at the gate from a close distance, one would not be able to see the mystery inside.
Outside Heaven's Gate, there were eighteen Taoist temples, nine on each side. There was an endless stream of pilgrims. The endless stream of incense blended into the fog all year round, making Tao De Sect seem more like a paradise on earth.
One of the main paths led to Heaven's Gate.
The old monk was on the flat ground in front of the first step, meditating peacefully.
First, the purple-robed immortal came out of Heaven's Gate and flew down the mountain on his sword.
The sword whirled and the dragon roared for three days.
However, they were not allowed to come within three feet of the old monk.
Then, the immortal who held the jade ruyi flew from the foot of Hovering Mountain to Heaven's Gate.
The purple-robed immortal rode his sword and walked down step by step.
After walking for three days and three nights, he had reached the 300th step.
Then, three immortal-looking immortals arrived.
Two of them were either standing or sitting cross-legged at the peak of the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain.
The last direct disciple of the Imperial Advisor made a hand gesture and walked toward the old monk. Every step he took was extremely slow, but every time he touched the ground, the heaven and earth would shake.
After half a day, the old monk began to recite the sutra.
He recited the Diamond Sutra word by word.
After reciting the Diamond Sutra once, the old monk, who admitted that he did not know many words and spells, began to recite.
More and more people gathered at the foot of the mountain. There were no less than ten thousand people.
Almost ten days had passed since the old monk sat down.
The flying sword had cut the clean and white kasaya thousands of times.
The Taoist immortal who struck the heavenly thunder with his small steps also walked to a few feet behind the old monk.
The old monk's whole body was golden, covered in blood.
The old monk put his palms together and finished reciting all the dharma he knew. He said softly, "Amitabha."
Many pilgrims could guess what would happen at that moment. They all turned their heads away, unable to stand on their tiptoes to watch.
A white rainbow streaked across the sky, higher than Heaven's Gate.
Behind it was a yellow waterfall!
I did not enter Heaven's Gate, but I am higher than the heavens.
The white rainbow stopped and revealed itself. The white-robed monk said loudly, "This poor monk is here to return the favor!"
It was impolite not to return the favor.
The Yellow River hung in the sky.
This white-robed monk pulled the entire Yellow River over.
