Features: The banners fluttered proudly, and every weapon, from swords to arrows, was arranged in perfect order. Soldiers were stationed at every five and ten steps, covering the hills, showcasing the strict discipline of the army and the brilliant strategic layout of its commander. On a platform atop one of the hills stood the command post of this army, from which one could overlook the eastern plain and the layout of Lü Bu's camp in full view. Whether the enemy planned a surprise attack or an advance, it could not be hidden. Niu Fu, the only daughter-in-law of Dong Zhuo, had a face like a pot lid, a face covered in coarse beard, and immense strength like an ox. He wielded a pair of battle axes as his personal weapons and was currently the legitimate heir to Dong Zhuo. With a proud smile, he looked down at Lü Bu's camp and said to the four wolves with great satisfaction, "Mr. Jia is indeed the chief strategist of the Liangzhou army after Li Ru. He is not only skilled in strategy but also adept at military deployment. With Mr. Jia's help, the Liangzhou army has avoided disaster after losing Li Ru. This is truly a blessing for our Qiang people!"
Lü Chui laughed and said, "Your Excellency is right. We initially thought that Li Ru intended to trick Wang Yun and Lü Bu into falling into our trap, which is why he arranged for the young master Dong to venture alone into Chang'an. But unexpectedly, he harbored ill intentions, planning to eliminate the young master Dong to seize the throne for himself. Fortunately, Mr. Jia exposed Li Ru's plot, and only then did we avoid becoming his funeral procession."
Guo Si also chimed in, "Indeed, Mr. Jia's strategy is unmatched in the world. He intimidated Lü Bu, who thought he was invincible, into being stunned. He even believed that we retreated to the valley out of weakness. However, I must apologize for my ignorance, but I really can't figure out how Mr. Jia plans to deal with that man of brute force, Lü Bu."
The Mr. Jia they were discussing was now wearing a silk headband and radiating infinite wisdom. Faced with his nominal superiors, Niu Fu and the other generals, he did not directly answer Guo Si's question but instead asked, "I wonder if General Fan Chou and General Zhang Ji have properly positioned the 30,000 troops hidden in the northeastern hills?"
Lü Chui hesitated slightly and replied, "Rest assured, Mr. Jia. Generals Fan Chou and Zhang Ji have sent soldiers to report that the 30,000 troops have been positioned upstream of the river in front. All that remains is for you to give the order, and we can swiftly advance to Chang'an and catch them off guard."
