Chapter 169
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and said, "Wen You, you said that he has solved the external troubles in the northern territory now, and if he frees his hand, will he interfere in the affairs of the subordinate and even launch an attack on us?"
If that happens, it will definitely be the worst news for Dong Zhuo.
He even somewhat regretted giving the position of Union State Patriarch to Luo Xuan!
Without this position, Luo Xuan might not be as easy as it is now to integrate and control the state, right?
"No! Not really!"
However, Li Ru touched his chin and smiled: "Although the Zhenbei Army has eliminated the western Xianbei, its own losses and consumption are definitely not small!"
"The most important thing he should do now is to recuperate!"
I heard that none of the Zhenbeihou went to participate in the alliance of princes called by Yuan Shao, so it can be seen that the relationship between Zhenbeihou and Yuan Shao is not good! "
"Master, we can fully promise to give Zhenbeihou some benefits and let him be a wall watcher!"
Dong Zhuo listened, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Will he agree?"
"It will!"
Li Ru smiled and nodded: "He is a smart man, defeating us is not good for him, on the contrary, sitting and watching us compete with Yuan Shao and other princes is the best choice!"
"What's more, we also give additional benefits?"
Some of the policies that Luo Xuan implemented in Union Prefecture had already spread at this time, and Li Ru naturally heard about them.
Understand, Luo Xuan and Yuan... The princes led by the Shi clan did not deal with it, and it was still very certain to persuade him!
"That would be great!"
Dong Zhuo listened, and his mood improved a lot, and then he asked with some pain: "Then in your opinion, what should be given?"
Give too much, he can't bear it!
Give less, and he is worried that Luo Xuan will not agree.
"100,000 stone grain grass is enough!"
Li Ru raised a finger and said.
"What?"
Dong Zhuo listened and exclaimed, "One hundred thousand stones? Can't it be less?"
"Can't!"
Li Ru shook his head, and then said: "Less! It seems insincere! Moreover, the value is not enough! Luo Xuan may not agree!"
"Okay!"
Dong Zhuo listened, thought about it repeatedly, and gritted his teeth with a pained face: "One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand!
"I will not disappoint my lord!"
Li Ru was full of confidence.

Sour dates, in the alliance camp, in Yuan Shao's own handsome tent,
At this time, Yuan Shao received the news that Western Xianbei had been destroyed, and he also looked incredulous: "The 400,000 army of Western Xianbei was actually destroyed like this?
"Then how many soldiers and horses did Luo Xuan use, and where did he get such strong strength?"
That's 400,000, although it is a little moist, but there are still more than 300,000, plus some ordinary people, the number will only be more than 400,000.
In less than a month, the entire Western Xianbei clan was wiped out?
"That's true!"
Guo Tu arched his hand and said, "This matter has been confirmed again and again! As for the soldiers and horses dispatched by the Zhenbei Army, the total number is roughly around 100,000!"
"100,000? vs. 400,000? Is that time? Is Budugen a pig? It's a pig, and it won't lose so fast, right?"
While Yuan Shao was shocked, he was even more incredulous.
He didn't understand how Budugen lost.
"That's not right!"
At this time, Yuan Shao suddenly grasped what was the key, and his eyes lit up and looked at Guo Tu and said, "What is the loss of the Zhenbei Army? 100,000 versus 400,000, even if it wins, it should be a miserable victory, right?"
"I don't believe it, then Luo Xuan can still destroy several times the enemy without paying a huge price?"
Especially, it is still fighting in the steppe.
The advantages of the Xianbei people are even greater.
"This....."
Guo Tu and Frustrated Shu and the others looked at each other and said, "At present, I only know that the Zhenbei Army, the Golden Eagle Battalion has not suffered much losses, and has been transferred to Jiexiu, and at the same time, it has replenished many recruits and replenished 20,000 horses. "
"In addition, there should be thousands of defenders left in Pingcheng, and the other border fortresses also have thousands of defenders!
"As for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Back Wei Battalion, and the Trap Camp that participated in the war, we have not received any news from them at present!"
I have to say that Yuan's intelligence network is still not bad!
Basically, the troops of the Zhenbei Army who participated in the Northern Expedition were all figured out!
It's just that after the battle, they are not so clear!
At the very least, it takes more time to get clearer intelligence.
After all, the Xiao Riding Camp, the Back Wei Camp, and the Trap Camp did not go to the counties within the state, but to the grassland.
As for the side plugs?
It's not that easy to find out!
Fengji took over the conversation and said: "However, even Luo Xuan's guards battalion lost one-fifth of its strength, which shows that the battle is fierce, and the losses of soldiers and horses of other battalions will only be greater! "
This is already a very serious loss!
"3-60,000?"
Yuan Shao listened, and his eyes lit up: "In this way, although Luo Xuan has solved the external troubles in the northern territory, his strength has also been greatly damaged!
"Yes!"
Frustrated and the others nodded: "Moreover, for a long time to come, the strength of the Zhenbei Army will be greatly damaged! After all, the total population of Union Prefecture is only about 120-1.5 million." "
Recruiting more than 100,000 troops before is already the limit! This is still because Luo Xuan took a lot of young and strong people in Jizhou during the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then!"
"It's not easy to recruit so many people in the state now. "
Yuan Shao listened, nodded repeatedly, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.
The strength is greatly damaged!
The strength is greatly damaged!
The greater Luo Xuan's loss, the happier he was!
When the crusade against Dong Zhuo is completed, he will take Jizhou, and then if he wants to clean up Luo Xuan, the difficulty of taking Jizhou will also drop sharply.
At this time, Guo Tu threw up his hand and said, "Master, I think we should also prevent Luo Xuan from sending troops to Jizhou to secretly plunder the population!
"Good!"
Xu Yu also nodded.
Although he is now trading with Luo Xuan in private, this does not prevent Xu Yu from still belonging to the hostile camp!
It is in Xu's interest to profit from both sides.
"This has to be prevented!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao also nodded, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "You don't know! Na Luo Xuan took advantage of his big wedding, taking advantage of the fact that we sent troops to sour jujubes, and actually secretly moved the entire Zhen clan of Jizhou to settle in Hezhou!"
"In addition, the Roche Chamber of Commerce in Jizhou seems to have disappeared overnight!"
"Let our original plans be frustrated!"
"Especially that Zhen clan, that is in Jizhou, it is one of the top merchants in the entire Han Dynasty, and the wealth in his hands is innumerable!"
"I was originally going to win them over, and even, I was going to let Xi'er marry the Zhen family and tie the Zhen family to my Yuan family's chariot!
