My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 360 Offensive and defensive alternation, the sword points to Chang'an
There is something to say.

Go ahead to dangers.

Dong Zhuo didn't know if he was crazy, he just felt that if he didn't do something, he might not be able to keep his current status and power.

This is a wonderful premonition.

I feel the strength of Wei Shi, the methods of Wei Cheng, and the pressure from Hedong.

In short, after getting a letter of covenant from his former friend, the former part of King Zuoxian of the Huns, he thought he should make up his mind to fight.

With the help of an army of nearly 40 Hu people, it should be no problem to take down a mere Hedong County, right?

Dong Zhuo often asked himself this question these days.

However, the answers seem to be different each time.

For Wei's cognition, he basically got it from "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List".

The strength of the Wei family and the brilliant achievements of the Longshan Army, it seems that in the eyes of the world, the Wei family is already an invincible existence.

But he just doesn't believe in evil, and he wants to ask why... Maybe this is the obsession in his heart that drives him to make the current decision.

After all, it feels good to have power.

Dong Zhuo's current military strength, in addition to the original 20 Liangzhou army, also has nearly [-] troops that have been incorporated, half of which are troops developed by He Jin, and the other half are troops that were later incorporated like Lu Bu. It is Guo Bang and other gangsters who came from reckless backgrounds.

In terms of combat power alone, Dong Zhuo thinks he is not weaker than others, otherwise he would not have attracted the eighteen princes to unite against Dong, and they fought for two or three years.

Therefore, at present, Dong Zhuo can be said to be the strongest force in the entire Han Dynasty.

And this is also the reason why he dared to attack Hedong County.

···
Hedong, Anyi.

Wei Cheng had already got the news when Chang'an made some moves.

The secret guard's information was not a display, Dong Zhuo had just made a move, and someone immediately sent the information to Wei Cheng's hands.

At this time, Wei Cheng didn't know the pressure Shuofang was facing, nor did he know that the Hu people had reached a tacit understanding with Dong Zhuo.

All he knew was that Dong Zhuo had ordered his army to go northward to Hedong County, and they were menacing and malicious.

Anyi City North Guard.

Wei Cheng, Wei Min, Tian Feng, the three of them made tea and sipped tea, all of them had calm faces, showing no trace of nervousness or eagerness.

Tian Feng picked up the teapot and poured tea for Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew.

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "Yuan Hao, your kung fu tea is already better than blue, much better than the tea I make."

Tian Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Master, you are very impressed. I learned this tea ceremony kung fu from you, but I drank a few more cups on weekdays. Not to mention, this Kung Fu tea really has some benefits for self-cultivation."

Wei Cheng took a sip of Tieguanyin. After graduating from university, he often drank tea with clients. He knew a lot about Tieguanyin. After all, there are many local tyrants in Fujian Province in later generations. People often bring tea to him. If he drinks too much, he can tell whether it is good or bad. up.

Tian Feng's pot of tea is very sweet, and the color and fragrance of Tieguanyin are already complete.

What is commendable is that there is a unique tea flavor in it. The color of the tea soup is green and yellow but not turbid, the tea fragrance is elegant but not astringent, the entrance is full of body fluid, and the aftertaste is long. At home, the two complement each other perfectly.

Wei Cheng drank the tea in three sips and breathed a sigh of relief.

at this time.

Xu Ding, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Le Jin came hand in hand.

Xu Ding cupped his fists and said, "My lord, Dong Zhuo's army has already crossed the river."

Wei Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the four of them in turn. Except for Xu Ding, the other three were all fighting spirits.

Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Zhongkang, evil, Wen Qian, what are you doing, but a mere 20 troops make you so nervous?"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei looked at each other, laughed and said, "My lord is wrong, I'm not nervous, but excited."

A blush flashed in Dian Wei's eyes. Although he was smiling, he felt as dangerous as a prehistoric beast.

Le Jin patted Dian Wei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "My lord, I don't know. Ever since the two of them learned that there was an army coming, they showed such expressions from time to time. Does it look weird, hahaha."

Wei Cheng, Wei Min and Tian Feng looked at each other and smiled.

Wei Min said: "Since this is the case, then Zhongkang and Elai are the pioneers this time."

Hearing this, Xu Chu and Dian Wei looked at Wei Min gratefully, and looked at Wei Cheng expectantly at the same time. Whether they can lead the army to fight or not is up to Wei Cheng to decide in the end.

Wei Cheng took a sip of tea, smiled and looked at the two of them.

As his two most trusted bodyguards, Wei Cheng naturally believed in their strength.

"Okay, since the second uncle said so, let the evil lead the Longshan army to fight, and Zhongkang lead the city guards to cooperate and assist. Let Dong Zhuo see how you can easily rely on less than 20 troops. Beat his [-] troops and flee in embarrassment."

Xu Chu and Dian Wei showed joy, and they clasped their fists and saluted at the same time, their fighting spirit had been ignited, and their eyes were full of fiery fire.

Wei Cheng smiled slightly, and looked at Le Jin again.

"As for Wen Qian, I have a task for you."

Yue Jin stepped forward respectfully and bowed, "Jin will definitely live up to your expectations."

···
Hedong County, Qingyang Ferry.

This used to be the land of Gyeonggi, and it was also the land under the jurisdiction of the ancient capital Chang'an.

At this time, at Qingyang Ferry, Dong Zhuo led an army of 13 and had already stationed here.

As Dong Zhuo's most capable general, Niu Fu is not only responsible for the defense work, but also responsible for the dispatch of troops.

"What are you talking about, Lu Fengxian hasn't moved yet?"

Niu Fu frowned thickly, and looked at the soldier who reported the letter.

The soldier couldn't help but trembled his shoulders, lowered his head and replied: "Yes, I have informed Lu Zhonglang three days ago, but he has remained silent, Master Chen urged me several times, and he even slapped me."

Niu Fu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help feeling a bad premonition.

After pondering for a while, he said to the messenger at the side: "Go, call General Guo."

The messenger nodded and left, but the soldier still knelt on the spot.

Not long after, Guo Si walked into the tent with a few assistants, saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground, frowned and said: "Why, Lu Fengxian disobeyed orders and disrespected?"

Niu Fu nodded slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there may be some accident, what do you think?"

Guo Bang walked to the low table beside him and sat down cross-legged on the futon. There are many people who are not used to kneeling, Wei Cheng is not the only one.

After sitting down, Guo Bang frowned and said: "It seems that we pushed him too hard, which made him feel rebellious."

Niu Fu sneered and said, "If it's just because of this, I'm relieved, I'm afraid he may have second thoughts."

Guo Si's expression changed, "You mean..."

Niu Fu glanced at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, and didn't explain too much, but it was already self-evident.

Niu Fu and others' behavior of rejecting Lu Bu did not happen once in a while, and the army has long been used to it.

At this time.

A deputy behind Guo Si said in a deep voice: "It's strange to say that, General Duan is still in Huayin now, could it be that the two of them have a tacit understanding?"

Guo Bang's expression changed, and he looked at Niu Fu.

Niu Fu also had a dignified look on his face.

The two of them had a bad premonition in their hearts. It seemed that the northward attack on Hedong didn't go smoothly at the beginning.

"Report~"

Outside the tent, a soldier ran in hastily.

Seeing that Guo Bang was there, he hurriedly clasped his fists in a salute, then bowed to Niu Fu and said, "Report to the general, the Wei family has raised troops."

Niu Fu hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses?"

The soldier paused, and said with some hesitation: "After checking several times, it seems... only less than [-]."

"Less than five thousand?"

Guo Si and Niu Fu looked at each other in dismay, both of them had disbelief on their faces.

Immediately Niu Fu laughed loudly and said: "That's great, the Grand Master is really good at predicting things, the main force of the Wei family is not in Hedong, hahaha."

Guo Bang also showed joy, "Miaozai, Miaozai, five thousand soldiers and horses are really nothing to be afraid of."

Niu Fu waved his hand and said, "Explore again and see if it is the Five Thousand Dragon Mountain Army or ordinary soldiers. If it is an ordinary soldier, then it is really... Hahaha, vulnerable."

The later soldier bowed, glanced at another colleague who was kneeling on the ground, and stepped back to leave.

Niu Fu seemed to be in a good mood, glanced at the kneeling soldier, and said, "Go too, and find out why Lu Zhonglang didn't move for so long."

After the robbery, the soldiers kowtowed repeatedly for the rest of their lives, and hurriedly got up and left with fists in their hands.

Only Guo Si and Niu Fu were left in the tent, and Guo Si was a few cronies.

Niu Fu was silent for a while, sat at the top, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, it seems that we were too worried. We originally wanted Lu Fengxian to be the vanguard, but fortunately he didn't come, otherwise he would have taken all the credit for this great achievement." Go, hahaha."

Guo Bang also expressed his feelings, and said: "I thought that no matter how bad the Wei family is, at least they can organize more than [-] soldiers and horses. I don't think it's only [-], but it's okay, and it gave us a huge advantage."

The two smiled at each other.

Niu Fu said: "In this way, you and I will each lead [-] troops, and we will take down Yongji County first, and use this as an outpost to fight every step of the way."

Niu Fu spread out a map and pointed to a small county town closest to Qingyang Ferry.

Guo Si heard the words, nodded and replied: "Alright, at this time, we can't take it lightly, the Wei family still has many unpredictable methods, we'd better fight steadily, let's take Yongji County first. "

Niu Fu smiled in satisfaction, and then asked: "Then, is it your pioneer, or?"

Guo Bang was smiling, and his mother was critical, how could he not know what Niu Fu was thinking.

On the surface, the Wei family only has [-] soldiers and horses, but who doesn't know that the Wei family also has the Thunder Zhenzi and the earth evil weapon?

This is letting yourself take the initiative to take on heavy responsibilities.

Guo Si pondered for a while, then cupped his fists helplessly and said, "Let me do it."

When Niu Fu heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Then I'll have to do you, Brother Guo!" Niu Fu clasped his fists and said, "It's better not to delay this matter. I suggest that Brother Guo lead his troops north to Yongji City tonight."

Guo Bang was cursing in his heart, and he cupped his fists politely on his face and said, "No problem, I will call my brothers to send troops to take Yongji City for Brother Niu."

···
That night.

Yongji City.

This is a small county with a population of only [-] to [-], only twenty miles away from the Yellow River.

However, because it relies on the Yellow River, Yongji City can be regarded as a land of prosperity. Coupled with the farming plan promoted by the Wei family, the current Yongji County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The county magistrate of Yongji City was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, a junior of Wei Cheng's little aunt Wei Ning, and the nephew of the famous scholar Yang Xiu.

"Magistrate Yang, thank you for your cooperation this time, and I will definitely report it to Young Master and give you a credit."

Le Jin came over quickly with his men, and first met County Magistrate Yang, and according to Wei Cheng's instructions, arranged some means in the city.

After bidding farewell to Magistrate Yang, he left the city without stopping.

Three hundred men from the City Guard climbed up a steep cliff.

Le Jin took out a telescope and said with a smile: "Brothers, it's up to you whether you can perform well tonight."

A few men from the city guard next to him laughed.

At this time, several men had already changed into the clothes of ordinary civilians, and even deliberately dressed in tatters to make themselves look more like bandits through and through.

When the sun goes down.

Le Jin discovered through the telescope that a team of about 2 people was heading towards Yongji City.

"Sir, you are really good at predicting things. They really plan to take Yongji City. It seems that this time there is something to play. You go to Yang County Magistrate and say that the big show is about to start, haha."

A few men dressed as bandits looked at each other with a smile, folded their fists and retreated.

A plain about ten miles outside Yongji City.

Guo Bang was leading the army towards Yongji City when he suddenly saw a dense billowing ahead. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a man in ragged clothes ran out of the thick orange smoke.

Behind the group of men was a cavalry cavalry of about 300 men. Judging from the clothes of the cavalry, they should be like policemen and government servants.

When the distance between the two parties was less than seven or eight hundred meters, the head of the county magistrate suddenly changed his face and tightened the reins.

Seeing this, the arresting yamen servants behind him stopped in their tracks.

The more than 100 'horse thieves' who ran ahead were sandwiched between the two parties.

Just when Guo Bang was in a daze, a man among the 'horse thieves' suddenly shouted: "Second Brother Guo, is that Brother Guo?"

Guo Si was taken aback.

This 'Second Brother Guo' was his gang name when he was young. He was originally a well-known leader of horse bandits in Liangzhou. At his peak, he had nearly a thousand men.

After following Dong Zhuo, he seldom contacted him, and the No. [-] character 'Second Brother Guo' gradually disappeared in the green forest.

Hearing such a 'kind' call at this time, Guo Bang couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He looked at the head of the county magistrate, with a happy expression on his face. It really didn't take much effort to find nowhere to go. Isn't this the lamb he sent to the door? It's not far from Yongji City, and it should be Yongji City. There is no doubt that the county magistrate of Jixian County is suppressing bandits.

Guo Bang laughed and said: "I don't know which brother on the road, since I know Guo, then what Guo said today will keep you safe and sound."

The more than 100 'horse thieves' suddenly cheered and shouted: "Commander Guo is mighty, Commander Guo is domineering."

The face of the county magistrate on the opposite side was even more ugly, which also confirmed Guo Bang's guess, and he felt even more complacent.

At this moment, the county magistrate suddenly turned around and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone return to the city."

Seeing this, Guo Si laughed loudly and said: "Don't leave when you come, brothers, kill."

Guo Bang personally led a cavalry to chase after them, and the more than 100 "horse thieves" naturally integrated into the team.

On the cliff a few miles away, Le Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene through a telescope.

"Alright, if you accept the [-] soldiers and horses first, it will be a good start."
