Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people coming to Dongning Pavilion this time, he is not afraid at all!

At some point, defense is often easier than offense!

This is especially true when occupying a favorable location.

…

In the evening, a team set off from the main city and headed directly to the Qilian Mountains.

Just when Xiao Wen led the cavalry and disappeared in the dark night, around the territory, more than a dozen spies dispersed one after another. Soon there were carrier pigeons and goshawks flying in all directions.

Late at night, a goshawk landed in the courtyard of Dong Zhuo's residence. A servant hurriedly came over and took off the letter from the goshawk's ankle. He did not dare to neglect and immediately sent it to Dong Zhuo.

In the hall, a banquet was being held. Dong Zhuo was sitting at the top, eating wine and meat.

Below him are his trusted generals.

Further down, there are dancing girls from all over the place.

These dancers have voluptuous figures, and the thin silk is quite eye-catching.

At least, the people in the hall were watching very carefully at this moment.

While the group was immersed in it, the servant quietly walked in and presented the letter to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo took the letter paper from his hand, spread it out in his hand, his eyes fell on the letter paper, and he immediately frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

There was nothing else written on the paper, it was just about Xiao Wen leading a cavalry force of 5,000 people out of the territory at night and heading west.

Five thousand cavalry?

This should be equivalent to half the number of cavalry under the hussar general, right?

When he goes out at night, where is his goal?

Where is he going?

Doubtful thoughts flashed through Dong Zhuo's mind one after another. He was thinking about Xiao Wen's whereabouts, but could not find a suitable answer.

Finally, he raised his head and his cold eyes fell on the dancing dancers.

Just a gaze made these dancers pause, as if they noticed something. Their originally delicate bodies became stiff at that moment, and their dancing limbs stopped at that moment. When they looked at Dong Zhuo again,

His face was full of humility and horror.

Without any words, the dancer immediately bowed her hands, trembling, turned around and retreated.

After the dancers retreated, the confidant officials in the hall looked at Dong Zhuo.

To be able to make the lord give up the few moments to enjoy the dinner, it seems that the news just received is very important!

As the thought flashed across his mind, the eyes of these people immediately fell on Dong Zhuo, with a bit of doubt in their eyes, as if they were waiting for the lord to speak.

Dong Zhuo did not speak, but handed the note to the maid beside him. When everyone in the hall had read the contents on the note, the entire hall fell silent.

Dong Dong...

Dong Zhuo's fingers tapped on the armrest of the solid wood chair, making a dull sound.

The entire hall fell into deathly silence, no one spoke.

Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on these people, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes. After a moment, he spoke out and asked: "You have all read the things on the paper. Tell us what you think."

"Niu Fu, you come first." Seeing that no one spoke, Dong Zhuo immediately called Niu Fu's name.

This boy is his son-in-law. Although he is a military commander, he also has a bit of strategy. It would be good to use him to attract others on this occasion.

After hearing this, Niu Fu immediately walked out, glanced at Dong Zhuo first, with a little fear in his respectful eyes, and said: "My lord, according to my opinion, the sphere of influence of the entire Xiliang block has basically been divided.

.”

"Among the three major plots of land, we occupy the largest area, followed by Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the hussar general has the smallest area!"

"It just occupies a main city and several surrounding counties."

"Among these three major land parcels, the territory located to the west of the hussar general naturally belongs to the prefect Ma Teng."

"Now, the late emperor has died of illness, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the situation in the court is in turmoil. I think that the hussar general is also an ambitious person, and wants to take this opportunity to expand his sphere of influence and strengthen his power."
