Chapter 280 Dong Zhuo, Liu Jian, the Kwantung Allied Forces... Start War
Chapter 280 Dong Zhuo, Liu Jian, the Kwantung Allied Forces... Start War
Han Fu, the governor of Youzhou, wanted to invite Liu Jian to attack Dong Zhuo together, but he never thought that Liu Jian didn't pee in his pot at all. Han Fu's body was much worse than Liu Jian's, so he could only be desperate Go south with troops and horses, go to Suanzao to meet with the princes of the Central Plains to discuss Dong.
But right now, neither Yuan Shao, General Fenwu Cao Cao, nor the other princes had time to pay attention to Han Fu.
Because right now, the battles in various battlefields of the coalition forces of the princes are in full swing.
Moreover, the current situation is not very favorable for the Zhumu Shou coalition forces.
Dong Zhuo went westward to crusade against bandits in Liangzhou, Han. In order to quell the rebellion, with the support of Yuan, Dong Zhuo replaced Zhang Wenwen and Huangfusong, and almost obtained the command of the most elite soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty. After leaving the border, Han and others used their influence in Liangzhou to recruit Qianghu and Liangzhou warriors for their own use, and established a powerful Xiliang cavalry, and then accepted He Jin's influence in Luoyang.
Therefore, before Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he had obtained the command of the most elite soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty because of the war. It happened that Liu Hong died just before he returned these powers.
Because of this time difference, the actual troops and combat power controlled by Dong Zhuo are much stronger than those of the local Mushou.
Although there is no Yuan Shu in the coalition of princes to disrupt the situation, Yuan Shao can almost completely control the people, and the number of soldiers is even more than Dong Zhuo, but when it comes to the quality of individual combat, the soldiers in the coalition army are still not comparable to the Xiliang army.
Of course, with the accumulation of war experience in the future, the overall combat quality of the generals of the Kanto forces will gradually be reborn and the gap in combat power will be reduced, but at this stage, they still cannot compare with the Xiliang Army.
After Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Kai and Yuan Ji, he sacrificed their heads to sacrifice the flag, and then dispatched troops and generals, sending out a hundred thousand elite troops to fight against the shepherds in the Kanto region in three ways.
On the fourth day of July in the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo personally led an army out of Luoyang to deal with Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang in the north.
Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang stationed soldiers and horses in Mengjin. The terrain of Mengjin is high in the west and low in the east, high in the middle, and low in the north and south. It is shaped like a fish ridge. Stick to it, and as long as they cross the Yellow River from Mengjin, they will only be eighty miles away from Luoyang.
Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang set up camp here, basically setting up camp in Dong Zhuo's face.
Naturally, Dong Zhuo couldn't tolerate it. He led his troops straight out of Luoyang and went northward, channeling Heyangjin from the east, intending to cross the Yellow River here and attack the coalition forces of Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang.
When Wang Kuang heard the news, he immediately decided to transfer most of his troops to the east, and stationed in Pingyin County, where there were deep ditches and high fences, and a tight formation was formed to prevent Dong Zhuo from crossing the water to attack his camp.
However, this strategy was rejected by Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun told Wang Kuang that Dong Zhuo was a famous general who was good at fighting. He had used soldiers for decades and had a deep understanding of military strategies.
And the two of our own side stationed troops here, just a stone's throw away from Dong Zhuo. Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo definitely wanted to adopt a quick-fix strategy when dealing with the two of them!
Therefore, according to Zhu Jun's guess, Dong Zhuo's purpose should be to smuggle into Xiaopingjin and attack them from the west, while sending troops to the east, his purpose is to attract his own troops and create a emptiness in the west.
This is called bluffing.
Naturally, Wang Kuang could not be compared with Zhu Jun in terms of using troops. He also knew that he was far inferior to Zhu Jun, so he humbly accepted Zhu Jun's suggestion and followed his orders.
Facts have proved that Zhu Jun was right.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo ordered his general Fan Chou to lead elite soldiers to smuggle to Xiaopingjin, intending to attack the west side of Hanoi coalition forces...but unfortunately, the plan failed.
……
"Xiangguo, your subordinates are incompetent and have affected the entire army!"
Fan Chou was soaked in blood and muddy and knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo, begging Dong Zhuo to surrender.
Dong Zhuo, who was wearing fine armor, did not blame Fan Chou. He stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, regretfully saying, "It's not your fault, it's the old man's negligence. Don't blame yourself...how many people have you lost?"
Fan Chou showed shame on his face.
"F-folded more than two thousand people..."
"Ugh."
Dong Zhuo stood up from where he was, and stomped back and forth in the handsome tent.
"The first battle is unfavorable. Zhu Gongwei is indeed an unusual person. It is not easy to lose to him quickly. If there is only Wang Kuangfu, I will be able to win the battle today!"
Zhang Ji on the side said: "Although Zhu Jun is good at using troops, the opponent's strength is far from ours. If we attack with all our strength, we will definitely defeat them! Why do we have to be sneaky? Xiangguo can make the Feixiong army the first, Forcibly crossing the river may not be invincible!"
"It's not that easy."
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "The strengths of our army and the weaknesses of the other army are well known to the old man, and Zhu Jun is also well aware that the troops stationed in Mengjin are not for the purpose of capturing Luoyang, but only to keep the old man in check. .”
"If the old man uses a large army to forcefully cross the river, Zhu Jun will attack him halfway through, causing damage to our army. After the old man crosses the river, he will withdraw his troops back to the hinterland of Hanoi, and will not confront the old man head-on."
"If the old man wants to enter Hanoi, he must collude with Bingzhou Zhangyang and Luan Tiyu Fuluo's generation, and harass while defending, so that the old man will fall into the quagmire of the Northland!"
"And if the old man withdrew his troops and returned to the south bank, then he would definitely drive his troops to Mengjin again, looking at Luoyang in the distance, like a sharp sword hanging from his head... Alas, he is really annoying!"
Fan Chou sighed: "This way of fighting, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, is dragging Xiangguo here, and making Xiangguo dare not leave easily! It's really hateful!"
"It's fine if he's the only way. We'll spend time with him, but there are wars in the Central Plains, Jing, and Yu! Who knows what will happen in the war over there?"
Dong Zhuo raised his head helplessly, feeling quite pained in his heart.
It's not that he's afraid of Zhu Jun, it's just that at such critical moments, he always feels that he has no resourcefulness around him.
The generals and officers under him are all good at fighting. They charge forward and line up troops. They are worth ten of them.
But when it comes to playing with the overall situation and tricks... Dong Zhuo can only rely on himself.
At this moment, a guard from Xiliang rushed into the account and bowed his hands to Dong Zhuo:
"Xiangguo, Niu Zhonglang will seek an audience outside the tent!"
"Ok?"
Dong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
"Why is he here? Isn't he flattering Baibo? Let him in!"
Before Zhu Mushou crusade against Dong Zhuo, Guo Tai, the remaining tribe of the Yellow Turban, revolted in Baibo Valley, Hedong County, Sili. With the slogan "Heaven supplements the balance", he recruited refugees and formed the Baibo Army to continue the tit-for-tat confrontation with the Han government. struggle.
The power of the Baibo army was not as strong as that of Heishan, but it was not far behind. They were mainly active in Taiyuan and Sanhe in Bingzhou, and they were connected with Yu Fuluo.
Regarding this force, Dong Zhuo naturally couldn't let it go.
So he appointed his most trusted son-in-law, Niu Fu, as the general of Zhonglang, and led his troops to attack the Baibo army to solve the hidden dangers around Luoyang.
The problem is, Niu Fu and Bai Bojun have been fighting for several months, but they haven't seen any results.
If you want to say that the combat power of the Baibo army is higher than that of Niu Fu's army, it is definitely impossible, but the leaders of the Baibo army do have certain abilities, and in terms of cohesion and ideological indoctrination of the Baibo army, they It is also Sima Ju and Xu He, who are far superior to the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
And Niu Fu's ability is actually not that strong, but he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law after all, and he is very trusted by Dong Zhuo, so he can be a Zhonglang general, and he can be under one person and above ten thousand.
But it is a pity that his ability to use troops has not reached the level of one person in the Xiliang Army.
In the comprehensive military level of the generals, Niu Fu belongs to the wolf.
If the Kwantung vassals hadn't come to besiege Dong Zhuo with their troops, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have handed over the Baibo army to Niu Fu alone!
Right now there is really no way, the useful people mainly have to deal with those Kwantung princes, and the Baibo army can only be handed over to Niu Fu.
Don't expect him to be able to defeat the Baibo army, just hope that during this period of time, he can block the Baibo army and prevent them from causing trouble for him.
However, Niu Fu suddenly appeared in his military camp now...
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Dong Zhuo's heart!
Shouldn't it be defeated?
"Let him in quickly!"
Dong Zhuo shouted hastily.
Not long after, I saw Niu Fu striding into Dong Zhuo's handsome tent.
Before Niu Fu could speak, Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "How many soldiers and horses have you lost?"
Niu Fu was a little dazed by Dong Zhuo's voice, but he soon came back to his senses.
"No, no loss!"
Niu Fu looked at Dong Zhuo with a puzzled expression on his face: "Yue Zhang, I'm here for you..."
Speaking of this, Niu Fu looked at Dong Zhuo's mournful eyes, seemed to remember something, and immediately changed his words: "Xiangguo! The last general, Niu Fu, has repelled the Baibo army, and he is here to report victory to Xiangguo and ask Xiangguo for instructions. What should our army do next!"
After Niu Fu finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
He was able to defeat the Baibo army?
Although the Baibo Army is the Yellow Turban Army, judging from the battle between our side and them during this period of time, the combat power of the Baibo Army is extremely impressive, and it cannot be easily compared. According to Niu Fu's command and combat capabilities, if they are in a stalemate with the Baibo Army, Even if it is not easy, how can we still defeat the Baibo army?
Dong Zhuo looked Niu Fu up and down, and said, "What method did you use to defeat Baibo?"
Niu Fu cupped his hands and said: "Back to Xiangguo, the last general did not fight head-on with the Baibo army, but just sent eloquent people and eloquent envoys to report to Mrs. Guo to show his strength, and spread rumors in Bingzhou, so the Baibo army retreated!"
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "What kind of rumors are you using?"
Niu Fu smiled and said: "The number of Baibo army has increased rapidly in recent years, and the refugees from Bingzhou and Sili have all voted for it. However, the rampant bandits are all due to the word "Heaven makes up for the average". Now this statement has penetrated into the Baibo army. With the heart of death, the last general sent people to spread rumors in Bingzhou, saying that all the wealth in the world is in the hands of high-ranking and well-dressed men in the Kanto. Now the Kanto scholars are attacking the imperial court in groups. , is to help the high school!"
"Just think about it, Xiangguo. The purpose of the Baibo Army is not to restore the world of Huang Tian, but to attack the rich and powerful. At this juncture, if the Baibo Army is against the imperial court, isn't it helping the famous family to achieve success? Mrs. Guo is not the same. A dull person is naturally unwilling to bear the infamy of being in the same rank as a well-dressed man, after all, he started his career by "making the sky equal"!"
Dong Zhuo seemed a little surprised when he heard the words, he looked Niu Fu up and down, and said, "Unexpectedly, you still have such adaptability? It really amazes me!"
After all, Dong Zhuo looked back and forth at the crowd and said: "Now the [-] generals of my son-in-law can be regarded as having withdrawn from the Baibo army. This old man has added [-] troops out of thin air. Like this, there is more room for maneuver. Already!"
For Dong Zhuo, today's event is really a joy and a worry, and the worry is that Fan Chou loses a little.
Fortunately, Niu Fu retreated from the Baibo army, which can be described as a great victory.
Dong Zhuo looked back and forth at the generals in the camp and asked, "Next, what should I do?"
Niu Fu cupped his hands and said, "Xiangguo, there will be a way to win the coalition!"
"speak!"
"Yes!"
Afterwards, listening to Niu Fu dryly, he reconciled everyone in the account like an endorsement: "The princes of the Kanto are all armies pushed by rich and well-dressed families everywhere. Long-term battle, if you want to succeed! It must be a quick battle!"
"The one who is feared by the Guandong Mushou is Xiangguo! The one who is respected by my soldiers in Liangzhou! Xiangguo too! As long as Xiangguo himself can be a surprise soldier and go to various battlefields in the Central Plains in person, he will be able to surprise and win a big victory!"
Niu Fu's words made Dong Zhuo full of curiosity.
"Okay, let's talk about how to make the old man go to various battlefields unexpectedly."
Niu Fu hurriedly said: "Zhu Jun stationed troops here, all he did was to delay Xiangguo in Mengjin."
"Since that's the case, Xiangguo might as well avoid the falsehood. Xiangguo can place his own guards and flags here, pretending to confront Zhu Jun here on the surface, and leave an important general to defend Zhu Jun instead of the prime minister. Guard the crossings everywhere!"
"Zhu Jun wants to delay Xiangguo, so Xiangguo can delay him in turn."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo understood in his heart.
"Good way, the old man stayed here and pretended not to leave, but in fact he led the elite soldiers to Suanzao and then to Nanyang to defeat Yuan Shao and his disciples, and caught them by surprise. As long as Yuan Shao is dealt with, Zhu Jun What's the use of delaying for a long time? Wonderful!"
After hearing these words, all the generals of the Xiliang Army whispered to each other.
But judging from their looks, they all agree with this method very much.
These people looked at Niu Fu with a little more admiration.
Dong Zhuo also seemed to look Niu Fu up and down.
"I can't see it, I can't see it...you still have such a clever plan, who taught you this method?"
Hearing this, Niu Fu was stunned.
He didn't answer, just laughed dryly.
Seeing his appearance, Dong Zhuo secretly sighed in his heart.
He naturally knew who gave him Niu Fu's idea.
Since that person is willing to adopt this method, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, no matter how you pass it on, as long as it reaches your ears, it will be good.
Dong Zhuo looked around, and finally set his eyes on Li Jue.
"Zhiran, I will leave it to you to take the place of the old man staying here!"
Li Jue stood up and said loudly: "No! Xiangguo, don't worry, there are subordinates here, and the safekeeping will not let Zhu Jun advance to Luoyang."
Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.
Li Jue has a brave and treacherous personality, is good at using troops, and has eloquence. He is a very fancy figure in Dong Zhuo.
But at this moment, one of Dong Zhuo's servants hurried into Dong Zhuo's tent and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly changed.
He stretched out his hand to the Jinshi, "Bring it to me to see!"
The guard hurriedly put a roll of bamboo slips into Dong Zhuo's hands.
Dong Zhuo unfolded the bamboo slips to look at them, the more he looked at them, the redder his face became, showing an unusual atmosphere.
Finally, Dong Zhuo suddenly threw the bamboo slips heavily on the ground.
"Liu Deran!! I swear to kill you!"
Dong Zhuo let out a rare roar.
Even today, Fan Chou was defeated, and Dong Zhuo was never so angry.
All the generals in the Xiliang army knew Dong Zhuo well.
Dong Zhuo is a kind-hearted person, once he gets angry, he will probably see blood.
Therefore, all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army did not dare to speak easily at this moment.
Only Niu Fu dared to ask Dong Zhuo boldly: "Xiangguo, why are you so angry?"
"Liu Deran, that little thief, dares to turn against this old man for Yuan Ji's sake! He assembled [-] soldiers and horses in Jizhou, all wearing white clothes and white armor, and under the banner of 'revenge and revenge, break through Longyou'. Fight to the death with this old man... old man, old man..."
When it came to this, Dong Zhuo didn't even know what words to use to describe this matter.
"The old man greets him with a smile on weekdays, does he think that the old man is easy to bully?!"
Ever since Niu Fu was humiliated by Zhang Fei last time, he had longed for revenge in his heart.
He couldn't see the Jizhou army for a long time, and said: "Xiangguo, the last general is willing to ask for orders, and lead his troops to fight Liu Jian, defeat the Jizhou army, and let Liu know how powerful Xiangguo is!"
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Liu Jian is also a famous general in the world, I'm only afraid that you will not be Liu Jian's opponent."
Niu Fu was very unconvinced.
"Xiangguo, the last general has also followed Xiangguo for many years. He has gone through hundreds of battles. Isn't he as good as Liu Jian, a child with a yellow mouth?"
Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "The problem is, he is not an ordinary child..."
"The final general wishes to issue a military order."
Dong Zhuo glanced sideways at Niu Fu, and said, "Forget it, you don't need to issue a military order. The spies report that Liu Jian's troops have arrived in Liyang, and they are going to the south bank via Yanjin Ferry."
"Lead your troops and set up camp along the south bank of the Yellow River to stop Liu Jian. Now Bao Xin, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai and other thieves are all in Xingyang. The old man will go to Huihe Fengxian to clean them up first! You And to deter Liu Jianxing, if he still doesn't know how to repent, it won't be too late for me to use troops against him!"
Niu Fu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately took his orders and left.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter with Xiangguo?"
"Without the old man's military order, don't use troops against Liu Jian lightly, just stop him. If there is anything else, listen to that person!"
Niu Fu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his face turned red.
It turns out that Yuezhang already knew...
Watching Niu Fu's leaving back, Dong Zhuo secretly sighed.
Liu Deran, Liu Deran, why are you acting stupid at this moment?
Then Yuan Ji is not your real brother!What kind of acquaintance by cutting the neck is just a title forced by the world on you, a false name!It's all false names!
Why do you take it seriously?
Because the Yuan family is the enemy of the old man, you still don't join forces with Yuan Shao, you are really stupid.
Are you a good-natured old man?
Since you don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and you want to use force against this old man, then this old man will let you know how powerful this old man is!
Give you two ways, or you die!
Or, let you be obedient and obedient to the old man as a dog from now on!
……
Niu Fu returned to his camp, and immediately summoned Jia Xu, who had been appointed captain.
"Wenhe, I have already reported what you asked me to tell Yue Zhang, and Yue Zhang is quite satisfied with me this time!"
Jia Xu was noncommittal, and asked: "Is it possible for General Zhonglang to bluff his words to Xiangguo, stabilize Zhu Jun, and secretly go everywhere to defeat the enemy?"
Niu Fu laughed loudly and said, "I've said it, I've said it! Father-in-law has already adopted it!"
Jia Xu sighed softly, "So, Luo Yang has nothing to worry about."
And what he is thinking in his heart at this moment is that Luo Yang is worry-free, so I am also worry-free.
However, Niu Fu's next words made Jia Xu nervous again.
"I heard that Liu Deran wanted to avenge Yuan Ji and sent troops to attack my father-in-law. Yuezhang asked me to lead troops along the south bank of the Yellow River and downstream to Yanjin to fight Liu Deran!"
"what?"
Jia Xu was shocked when she heard this.
"Liu Deran wants to crusade against Xiangguo?"
"Hmph, that's right, this little thief is getting impatient! This general is trying to deal with him!"
Jia Xu frowned, shook his head and said, "That's not right, Liu Jian is not a person who doesn't know the current situation. Isn't it stupid for him to be an enemy of the Prime Minister at this time? Did he respond to Yuan Shao's call?"
Niu Fu shook his head, and said: "It seems not. It is said that he just ordered all the soldiers of the three armies to wear white flags and white armor, and threatened to avenge Yuan Ji. He raised troops alone, and it seems that he did not join Yuan Shao!"
"Oh……"
Jia Xu nodded slowly, as if she had some understanding.
Afterwards, he looked at Niu Fu and said, "Xiangguo asked the general to lead his troops to stop Liu Deran?"
Niu Fu said: "Exactly, Xiangguo asked me to deal with Liu Deran. He led Xiliang's elite and a group of fierce generals to the Central Plains to deal with those rebellious Xiaoxiao!"
Jia Xu suddenly asked earnestly: "The prime minister can tell, how do you want to fight Liu Jian?"
Just as Niu Fu wanted to say something, Dong Zhuo told him to only defend and not attack, but he swallowed the words again.
He suddenly remembered the last time Zhang Fei humiliated him before the battle between the two armies.
If there is no accident, the ring-eyed thief must have followed Liu Jian this time!
Niu Fu has [-] elite troops under his command, not Xiliang warriors, but the elite troops of the Central Army in the past, and Liu Jian's Jizhou Army has not been organized for long...
Niu Fu carefully weighed his and Liu Jian's combat strength, no matter how he calculated, he felt that he would not lose.
Father-in-law was afraid that I would not be able to defeat Liu Jian, so he asked me to use defense instead of attack, but in fact, no matter how good Liu Jian is at using troops, his soldiers are not as powerful as my soldiers.
If I really captured Liu Jian alive, Xiangguo would definitely think me proud!
Thinking of this, Niu Fu changed his tone instantly.
"Xiangguo asked you and me to defeat Liu Jian and capture him alive?"
"what?"
Jia Xu looked at Niu Fu in astonishment, with a look of doubt on his face.
"The general is serious?"
Niu Fu dissatisfied: "Wen He, what are you talking about? What do you mean by taking it seriously? Could it be that this general will still take this matter as a joke with you!"
"Oh... no, no, Mo Li didn't mean that..."
Jia Xu hastily cupped his hands at Niu Fu, and then said with some doubts: "It's just that, according to Xiangguo's knowledge, at this time, it should be mainly to find out Liu Jian's true intentions. If you come up and fight directly, it's inevitable..."
"What is there to set up!" Niu Fu hurriedly said: "Xiangguo and Liu Jian have known each other for many years. Since Xiangguo took power, he has given Liu Jian a lot of benefits both openly and secretly. He is lucky! Seeing the rebellion of all the guards Xiangguo, you actually fell into trouble! He rebelled directly! Naturally, Xiangguo wants to cut him into pieces with his own hands!"
"Um……"
Jia Xu didn't answer.
"Wenhe, how do you think this battle will be fought!?" Niu Fu hurriedly asked him for advice.
Jia Xu pondered for a long time, glanced at Niu Fu, and said, "Hold back and beat."
"what?"
When Niu Fu heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Why are you...why are you still afraid that Liu Jian will fail?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that Liu Jian sent troops in the name of revenge, and all his subordinates are mourners. People who take revenge are not calm and impulsive, but Liu Jian is not an ordinary person. The general needs to observe , I also need to observe, understand?"
"Hmm..." Niu Fu didn't seem to want to observe.
He wants to beat Liu Jian directly!
Jia Xu said: "If the general thinks my method is inappropriate, he will lead his troops to fight Liu Jian, and Xu is willing to stay in the rear and supervise the food and grass for the general."
"Hey?! Hey, no, no, no! Listen to you! Observe! Let's go down the river first, build a camp, and observe Liu Jian's movements!"
…………
Dong Zhuo left Li Jue on the other side of Mengjin, and left everything that could represent his identity, pretending that he was still in Mengjin.
He himself led a group of fierce generals and elites to Xingyang quietly.
Niu Fu, on the other hand, followed Dong Zhuo's order to stop Liu Jian.
At this time, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others were fighting against Hu Zhen.
These coalition forces have a lot of soldiers and horses, and there are many heroes and warriors in the Central Plains, and there are many capable people among them. Therefore, they fought with Hu Zhen and even had an advantage at one time.
In fact, it stands to reason that if Hu Zhen makes good use of the Bingzhou Army, it would not be difficult to counterpress the Kwantung shepherds, but he doesn't want Lu Bu to steal his credit.
In Hu Zhen's eyes, the Bingzhou Army is more or less an outsider and cannot be trusted.
Therefore, he still placed Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in the rear.
After several battles between the Kwantung Allied Forces and Hu Zhen, although they were not completely victorious, they were not completely defeated either.
So Cao Cao suggested, please concentrate your forces, and take advantage of Dong Zhuo and his main force being pinned down by Zhu Jun. You should complete your efforts in one battle and take Xingyang. in the eyes.
Although Hu Zhen is considered a handsome talent, he is by no means invincible. Cao Cao felt that as long as everyone is united, they will be able to break through Hu Zhen's defense.
Even if Hu Zhen could not be completely defeated, as long as Xingyang was captured, it would be equivalent to putting a knife on Dong Zhuo's neck!
But people headed by Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, etc. did not listen.
They think that before the fighter plane arrives, they should still go deep into the trenches and high fences, and observe the enemy's actual situation.
After hearing what everyone said, Cao Cao was very angry. He thought that his side was on the offensive, so why did he go on the defensive?Right now Dong Zhuo is being restrained, if Dong Zhuo is not restrained and comes here to support, wouldn't our side be in danger?
Therefore, Cao Cao personally led his troops to the west, intending to surprise Hu Zhen in order to obtain full success.
Under normal circumstances, Cao Cao's move may have a slight chance of winning.
However, he didn't know that Dong Zhuo had quietly brought people here.
The man in command is no longer Hu Zhen, but Dong Zhuo.
Hu Zhen, the leader of the Xiliang army in the front, was also transferred to the rear by Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others were all sent to the front by Dong Zhuo to ambush in secret.
Dong Zhuo has experienced hundreds of battles, he counted the Kwantung armies, someone will definitely attack Xingyang!
As a result, Cao Cao traveled to Bianshui, Xingyang, and confronted Dong Zhuo's generals Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others. Because the soldiers' combat strength was too different, Cao Cao was defeated and he was injured by Liu Shi. Fortunately, he was rescued by his younger brother Cao Hong. Back to jujube.
But Cao Cao just refused to rest. Even if he was defeated and withdrew his troops, he still hoped that everyone would take an aggressive approach, occupy important areas first, and then divide his troops west to Wuguan to besiege Dong Zhuo.
But the members of the Suanzao League still refused to follow.
In this battle, Cao Cao lost his good friend Wei Zi, and his heart ached. He also saw that the people in the Kanto were not aggressive and were just avoiding the battle with deep ditches and high fortresses, so he led his troops south again, and went to Danyang County for the second time to recruit troops. Seek to expand the strength to discuss Dong again.
However, although Cao Cao was defeated, his act of righteousness this time also affected many heroes in the rebel army, such as Zhang Miao's hero Dian Wei, Bao Xin's hero Yu Jin, etc., they were quite disgusted with Cao Cao's fighting alone. Appreciate.
After Cao Cao left, Dong Zhuo didn't rest. Taking advantage of the mutual suspicion of the generals in the Kanto region and not daring to enter the army easily, he adopted methods of defeating each other and launched a fierce attack on the alliance army.
The first thing he aimed at was Han Fu who came all the way from Youzhou.
Today's chapter is a two-in-one chapter, with nearly [-] words, so I won't open it up.
(End of this chapter)
Han Fu, the governor of Youzhou, wanted to invite Liu Jian to attack Dong Zhuo together, but he never thought that Liu Jian didn't pee in his pot at all. Han Fu's body was much worse than Liu Jian's, so he could only be desperate Go south with troops and horses, go to Suanzao to meet with the princes of the Central Plains to discuss Dong.
But right now, neither Yuan Shao, General Fenwu Cao Cao, nor the other princes had time to pay attention to Han Fu.
Because right now, the battles in various battlefields of the coalition forces of the princes are in full swing.
Moreover, the current situation is not very favorable for the Zhumu Shou coalition forces.
Dong Zhuo went westward to crusade against bandits in Liangzhou, Han. In order to quell the rebellion, with the support of Yuan, Dong Zhuo replaced Zhang Wenwen and Huangfusong, and almost obtained the command of the most elite soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty. After leaving the border, Han and others used their influence in Liangzhou to recruit Qianghu and Liangzhou warriors for their own use, and established a powerful Xiliang cavalry, and then accepted He Jin's influence in Luoyang.
Therefore, before Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he had obtained the command of the most elite soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty because of the war. It happened that Liu Hong died just before he returned these powers.
Because of this time difference, the actual troops and combat power controlled by Dong Zhuo are much stronger than those of the local Mushou.
Although there is no Yuan Shu in the coalition of princes to disrupt the situation, Yuan Shao can almost completely control the people, and the number of soldiers is even more than Dong Zhuo, but when it comes to the quality of individual combat, the soldiers in the coalition army are still not comparable to the Xiliang army.
Of course, with the accumulation of war experience in the future, the overall combat quality of the generals of the Kanto forces will gradually be reborn and the gap in combat power will be reduced, but at this stage, they still cannot compare with the Xiliang Army.
After Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Kai and Yuan Ji, he sacrificed their heads to sacrifice the flag, and then dispatched troops and generals, sending out a hundred thousand elite troops to fight against the shepherds in the Kanto region in three ways.
On the fourth day of July in the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo personally led an army out of Luoyang to deal with Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang in the north.
Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang stationed soldiers and horses in Mengjin. The terrain of Mengjin is high in the west and low in the east, high in the middle, and low in the north and south. It is shaped like a fish ridge. Stick to it, and as long as they cross the Yellow River from Mengjin, they will only be eighty miles away from Luoyang.
Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang set up camp here, basically setting up camp in Dong Zhuo's face.
Naturally, Dong Zhuo couldn't tolerate it. He led his troops straight out of Luoyang and went northward, channeling Heyangjin from the east, intending to cross the Yellow River here and attack the coalition forces of Zhu Jun and Wang Kuang.
When Wang Kuang heard the news, he immediately decided to transfer most of his troops to the east, and stationed in Pingyin County, where there were deep ditches and high fences, and a tight formation was formed to prevent Dong Zhuo from crossing the water to attack his camp.
However, this strategy was rejected by Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun told Wang Kuang that Dong Zhuo was a famous general who was good at fighting. He had used soldiers for decades and had a deep understanding of military strategies.
And the two of our own side stationed troops here, just a stone's throw away from Dong Zhuo. Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo definitely wanted to adopt a quick-fix strategy when dealing with the two of them!
Therefore, according to Zhu Jun's guess, Dong Zhuo's purpose should be to smuggle into Xiaopingjin and attack them from the west, while sending troops to the east, his purpose is to attract his own troops and create a emptiness in the west.
This is called bluffing.
Naturally, Wang Kuang could not be compared with Zhu Jun in terms of using troops. He also knew that he was far inferior to Zhu Jun, so he humbly accepted Zhu Jun's suggestion and followed his orders.
Facts have proved that Zhu Jun was right.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo ordered his general Fan Chou to lead elite soldiers to smuggle to Xiaopingjin, intending to attack the west side of Hanoi coalition forces...but unfortunately, the plan failed.
……
"Xiangguo, your subordinates are incompetent and have affected the entire army!"
Fan Chou was soaked in blood and muddy and knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo, begging Dong Zhuo to surrender.
Dong Zhuo, who was wearing fine armor, did not blame Fan Chou. He stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, regretfully saying, "It's not your fault, it's the old man's negligence. Don't blame yourself...how many people have you lost?"
Fan Chou showed shame on his face.
"F-folded more than two thousand people..."
"Ugh."
Dong Zhuo stood up from where he was, and stomped back and forth in the handsome tent.
"The first battle is unfavorable. Zhu Gongwei is indeed an unusual person. It is not easy to lose to him quickly. If there is only Wang Kuangfu, I will be able to win the battle today!"
Zhang Ji on the side said: "Although Zhu Jun is good at using troops, the opponent's strength is far from ours. If we attack with all our strength, we will definitely defeat them! Why do we have to be sneaky? Xiangguo can make the Feixiong army the first, Forcibly crossing the river may not be invincible!"
"It's not that easy."
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "The strengths of our army and the weaknesses of the other army are well known to the old man, and Zhu Jun is also well aware that the troops stationed in Mengjin are not for the purpose of capturing Luoyang, but only to keep the old man in check. .”
"If the old man uses a large army to forcefully cross the river, Zhu Jun will attack him halfway through, causing damage to our army. After the old man crosses the river, he will withdraw his troops back to the hinterland of Hanoi, and will not confront the old man head-on."
"If the old man wants to enter Hanoi, he must collude with Bingzhou Zhangyang and Luan Tiyu Fuluo's generation, and harass while defending, so that the old man will fall into the quagmire of the Northland!"
"And if the old man withdrew his troops and returned to the south bank, then he would definitely drive his troops to Mengjin again, looking at Luoyang in the distance, like a sharp sword hanging from his head... Alas, he is really annoying!"
Fan Chou sighed: "This way of fighting, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, is dragging Xiangguo here, and making Xiangguo dare not leave easily! It's really hateful!"
"It's fine if he's the only way. We'll spend time with him, but there are wars in the Central Plains, Jing, and Yu! Who knows what will happen in the war over there?"
Dong Zhuo raised his head helplessly, feeling quite pained in his heart.
It's not that he's afraid of Zhu Jun, it's just that at such critical moments, he always feels that he has no resourcefulness around him.
The generals and officers under him are all good at fighting. They charge forward and line up troops. They are worth ten of them.
But when it comes to playing with the overall situation and tricks... Dong Zhuo can only rely on himself.
At this moment, a guard from Xiliang rushed into the account and bowed his hands to Dong Zhuo:
"Xiangguo, Niu Zhonglang will seek an audience outside the tent!"
"Ok?"
Dong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
"Why is he here? Isn't he flattering Baibo? Let him in!"
Before Zhu Mushou crusade against Dong Zhuo, Guo Tai, the remaining tribe of the Yellow Turban, revolted in Baibo Valley, Hedong County, Sili. With the slogan "Heaven supplements the balance", he recruited refugees and formed the Baibo Army to continue the tit-for-tat confrontation with the Han government. struggle.
The power of the Baibo army was not as strong as that of Heishan, but it was not far behind. They were mainly active in Taiyuan and Sanhe in Bingzhou, and they were connected with Yu Fuluo.
Regarding this force, Dong Zhuo naturally couldn't let it go.
So he appointed his most trusted son-in-law, Niu Fu, as the general of Zhonglang, and led his troops to attack the Baibo army to solve the hidden dangers around Luoyang.
The problem is, Niu Fu and Bai Bojun have been fighting for several months, but they haven't seen any results.
If you want to say that the combat power of the Baibo army is higher than that of Niu Fu's army, it is definitely impossible, but the leaders of the Baibo army do have certain abilities, and in terms of cohesion and ideological indoctrination of the Baibo army, they It is also Sima Ju and Xu He, who are far superior to the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
And Niu Fu's ability is actually not that strong, but he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law after all, and he is very trusted by Dong Zhuo, so he can be a Zhonglang general, and he can be under one person and above ten thousand.
But it is a pity that his ability to use troops has not reached the level of one person in the Xiliang Army.
In the comprehensive military level of the generals, Niu Fu belongs to the wolf.
If the Kwantung vassals hadn't come to besiege Dong Zhuo with their troops, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have handed over the Baibo army to Niu Fu alone!
Right now there is really no way, the useful people mainly have to deal with those Kwantung princes, and the Baibo army can only be handed over to Niu Fu.
Don't expect him to be able to defeat the Baibo army, just hope that during this period of time, he can block the Baibo army and prevent them from causing trouble for him.
However, Niu Fu suddenly appeared in his military camp now...
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Dong Zhuo's heart!
Shouldn't it be defeated?
"Let him in quickly!"
Dong Zhuo shouted hastily.
Not long after, I saw Niu Fu striding into Dong Zhuo's handsome tent.
Before Niu Fu could speak, Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "How many soldiers and horses have you lost?"
Niu Fu was a little dazed by Dong Zhuo's voice, but he soon came back to his senses.
"No, no loss!"
Niu Fu looked at Dong Zhuo with a puzzled expression on his face: "Yue Zhang, I'm here for you..."
Speaking of this, Niu Fu looked at Dong Zhuo's mournful eyes, seemed to remember something, and immediately changed his words: "Xiangguo! The last general, Niu Fu, has repelled the Baibo army, and he is here to report victory to Xiangguo and ask Xiangguo for instructions. What should our army do next!"
After Niu Fu finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
He was able to defeat the Baibo army?
Although the Baibo Army is the Yellow Turban Army, judging from the battle between our side and them during this period of time, the combat power of the Baibo Army is extremely impressive, and it cannot be easily compared. According to Niu Fu's command and combat capabilities, if they are in a stalemate with the Baibo Army, Even if it is not easy, how can we still defeat the Baibo army?
Dong Zhuo looked Niu Fu up and down, and said, "What method did you use to defeat Baibo?"
Niu Fu cupped his hands and said: "Back to Xiangguo, the last general did not fight head-on with the Baibo army, but just sent eloquent people and eloquent envoys to report to Mrs. Guo to show his strength, and spread rumors in Bingzhou, so the Baibo army retreated!"
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "What kind of rumors are you using?"
Niu Fu smiled and said: "The number of Baibo army has increased rapidly in recent years, and the refugees from Bingzhou and Sili have all voted for it. However, the rampant bandits are all due to the word "Heaven makes up for the average". Now this statement has penetrated into the Baibo army. With the heart of death, the last general sent people to spread rumors in Bingzhou, saying that all the wealth in the world is in the hands of high-ranking and well-dressed men in the Kanto. Now the Kanto scholars are attacking the imperial court in groups. , is to help the high school!"
"Just think about it, Xiangguo. The purpose of the Baibo Army is not to restore the world of Huang Tian, but to attack the rich and powerful. At this juncture, if the Baibo Army is against the imperial court, isn't it helping the famous family to achieve success? Mrs. Guo is not the same. A dull person is naturally unwilling to bear the infamy of being in the same rank as a well-dressed man, after all, he started his career by "making the sky equal"!"
Dong Zhuo seemed a little surprised when he heard the words, he looked Niu Fu up and down, and said, "Unexpectedly, you still have such adaptability? It really amazes me!"
After all, Dong Zhuo looked back and forth at the crowd and said: "Now the [-] generals of my son-in-law can be regarded as having withdrawn from the Baibo army. This old man has added [-] troops out of thin air. Like this, there is more room for maneuver. Already!"
For Dong Zhuo, today's event is really a joy and a worry, and the worry is that Fan Chou loses a little.
Fortunately, Niu Fu retreated from the Baibo army, which can be described as a great victory.
Dong Zhuo looked back and forth at the generals in the camp and asked, "Next, what should I do?"
Niu Fu cupped his hands and said, "Xiangguo, there will be a way to win the coalition!"
"speak!"
"Yes!"
Afterwards, listening to Niu Fu dryly, he reconciled everyone in the account like an endorsement: "The princes of the Kanto are all armies pushed by rich and well-dressed families everywhere. Long-term battle, if you want to succeed! It must be a quick battle!"
"The one who is feared by the Guandong Mushou is Xiangguo! The one who is respected by my soldiers in Liangzhou! Xiangguo too! As long as Xiangguo himself can be a surprise soldier and go to various battlefields in the Central Plains in person, he will be able to surprise and win a big victory!"
Niu Fu's words made Dong Zhuo full of curiosity.
"Okay, let's talk about how to make the old man go to various battlefields unexpectedly."
Niu Fu hurriedly said: "Zhu Jun stationed troops here, all he did was to delay Xiangguo in Mengjin."
"Since that's the case, Xiangguo might as well avoid the falsehood. Xiangguo can place his own guards and flags here, pretending to confront Zhu Jun here on the surface, and leave an important general to defend Zhu Jun instead of the prime minister. Guard the crossings everywhere!"
"Zhu Jun wants to delay Xiangguo, so Xiangguo can delay him in turn."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo understood in his heart.
"Good way, the old man stayed here and pretended not to leave, but in fact he led the elite soldiers to Suanzao and then to Nanyang to defeat Yuan Shao and his disciples, and caught them by surprise. As long as Yuan Shao is dealt with, Zhu Jun What's the use of delaying for a long time? Wonderful!"
After hearing these words, all the generals of the Xiliang Army whispered to each other.
But judging from their looks, they all agree with this method very much.
These people looked at Niu Fu with a little more admiration.
Dong Zhuo also seemed to look Niu Fu up and down.
"I can't see it, I can't see it...you still have such a clever plan, who taught you this method?"
Hearing this, Niu Fu was stunned.
He didn't answer, just laughed dryly.
Seeing his appearance, Dong Zhuo secretly sighed in his heart.
He naturally knew who gave him Niu Fu's idea.
Since that person is willing to adopt this method, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, no matter how you pass it on, as long as it reaches your ears, it will be good.
Dong Zhuo looked around, and finally set his eyes on Li Jue.
"Zhiran, I will leave it to you to take the place of the old man staying here!"
Li Jue stood up and said loudly: "No! Xiangguo, don't worry, there are subordinates here, and the safekeeping will not let Zhu Jun advance to Luoyang."
Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.
Li Jue has a brave and treacherous personality, is good at using troops, and has eloquence. He is a very fancy figure in Dong Zhuo.
But at this moment, one of Dong Zhuo's servants hurried into Dong Zhuo's tent and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly changed.
He stretched out his hand to the Jinshi, "Bring it to me to see!"
The guard hurriedly put a roll of bamboo slips into Dong Zhuo's hands.
Dong Zhuo unfolded the bamboo slips to look at them, the more he looked at them, the redder his face became, showing an unusual atmosphere.
Finally, Dong Zhuo suddenly threw the bamboo slips heavily on the ground.
"Liu Deran!! I swear to kill you!"
Dong Zhuo let out a rare roar.
Even today, Fan Chou was defeated, and Dong Zhuo was never so angry.
All the generals in the Xiliang army knew Dong Zhuo well.
Dong Zhuo is a kind-hearted person, once he gets angry, he will probably see blood.
Therefore, all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army did not dare to speak easily at this moment.
Only Niu Fu dared to ask Dong Zhuo boldly: "Xiangguo, why are you so angry?"
"Liu Deran, that little thief, dares to turn against this old man for Yuan Ji's sake! He assembled [-] soldiers and horses in Jizhou, all wearing white clothes and white armor, and under the banner of 'revenge and revenge, break through Longyou'. Fight to the death with this old man... old man, old man..."
When it came to this, Dong Zhuo didn't even know what words to use to describe this matter.
"The old man greets him with a smile on weekdays, does he think that the old man is easy to bully?!"
Ever since Niu Fu was humiliated by Zhang Fei last time, he had longed for revenge in his heart.
He couldn't see the Jizhou army for a long time, and said: "Xiangguo, the last general is willing to ask for orders, and lead his troops to fight Liu Jian, defeat the Jizhou army, and let Liu know how powerful Xiangguo is!"
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Liu Jian is also a famous general in the world, I'm only afraid that you will not be Liu Jian's opponent."
Niu Fu was very unconvinced.
"Xiangguo, the last general has also followed Xiangguo for many years. He has gone through hundreds of battles. Isn't he as good as Liu Jian, a child with a yellow mouth?"
Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "The problem is, he is not an ordinary child..."
"The final general wishes to issue a military order."
Dong Zhuo glanced sideways at Niu Fu, and said, "Forget it, you don't need to issue a military order. The spies report that Liu Jian's troops have arrived in Liyang, and they are going to the south bank via Yanjin Ferry."
"Lead your troops and set up camp along the south bank of the Yellow River to stop Liu Jian. Now Bao Xin, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai and other thieves are all in Xingyang. The old man will go to Huihe Fengxian to clean them up first! You And to deter Liu Jianxing, if he still doesn't know how to repent, it won't be too late for me to use troops against him!"
Niu Fu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately took his orders and left.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter with Xiangguo?"
"Without the old man's military order, don't use troops against Liu Jian lightly, just stop him. If there is anything else, listen to that person!"
Niu Fu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his face turned red.
It turns out that Yuezhang already knew...
Watching Niu Fu's leaving back, Dong Zhuo secretly sighed.
Liu Deran, Liu Deran, why are you acting stupid at this moment?
Then Yuan Ji is not your real brother!What kind of acquaintance by cutting the neck is just a title forced by the world on you, a false name!It's all false names!
Why do you take it seriously?
Because the Yuan family is the enemy of the old man, you still don't join forces with Yuan Shao, you are really stupid.
Are you a good-natured old man?
Since you don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and you want to use force against this old man, then this old man will let you know how powerful this old man is!
Give you two ways, or you die!
Or, let you be obedient and obedient to the old man as a dog from now on!
……
Niu Fu returned to his camp, and immediately summoned Jia Xu, who had been appointed captain.
"Wenhe, I have already reported what you asked me to tell Yue Zhang, and Yue Zhang is quite satisfied with me this time!"
Jia Xu was noncommittal, and asked: "Is it possible for General Zhonglang to bluff his words to Xiangguo, stabilize Zhu Jun, and secretly go everywhere to defeat the enemy?"
Niu Fu laughed loudly and said, "I've said it, I've said it! Father-in-law has already adopted it!"
Jia Xu sighed softly, "So, Luo Yang has nothing to worry about."
And what he is thinking in his heart at this moment is that Luo Yang is worry-free, so I am also worry-free.
However, Niu Fu's next words made Jia Xu nervous again.
"I heard that Liu Deran wanted to avenge Yuan Ji and sent troops to attack my father-in-law. Yuezhang asked me to lead troops along the south bank of the Yellow River and downstream to Yanjin to fight Liu Deran!"
"what?"
Jia Xu was shocked when she heard this.
"Liu Deran wants to crusade against Xiangguo?"
"Hmph, that's right, this little thief is getting impatient! This general is trying to deal with him!"
Jia Xu frowned, shook his head and said, "That's not right, Liu Jian is not a person who doesn't know the current situation. Isn't it stupid for him to be an enemy of the Prime Minister at this time? Did he respond to Yuan Shao's call?"
Niu Fu shook his head, and said: "It seems not. It is said that he just ordered all the soldiers of the three armies to wear white flags and white armor, and threatened to avenge Yuan Ji. He raised troops alone, and it seems that he did not join Yuan Shao!"
"Oh……"
Jia Xu nodded slowly, as if she had some understanding.
Afterwards, he looked at Niu Fu and said, "Xiangguo asked the general to lead his troops to stop Liu Deran?"
Niu Fu said: "Exactly, Xiangguo asked me to deal with Liu Deran. He led Xiliang's elite and a group of fierce generals to the Central Plains to deal with those rebellious Xiaoxiao!"
Jia Xu suddenly asked earnestly: "The prime minister can tell, how do you want to fight Liu Jian?"
Just as Niu Fu wanted to say something, Dong Zhuo told him to only defend and not attack, but he swallowed the words again.
He suddenly remembered the last time Zhang Fei humiliated him before the battle between the two armies.
If there is no accident, the ring-eyed thief must have followed Liu Jian this time!
Niu Fu has [-] elite troops under his command, not Xiliang warriors, but the elite troops of the Central Army in the past, and Liu Jian's Jizhou Army has not been organized for long...
Niu Fu carefully weighed his and Liu Jian's combat strength, no matter how he calculated, he felt that he would not lose.
Father-in-law was afraid that I would not be able to defeat Liu Jian, so he asked me to use defense instead of attack, but in fact, no matter how good Liu Jian is at using troops, his soldiers are not as powerful as my soldiers.
If I really captured Liu Jian alive, Xiangguo would definitely think me proud!
Thinking of this, Niu Fu changed his tone instantly.
"Xiangguo asked you and me to defeat Liu Jian and capture him alive?"
"what?"
Jia Xu looked at Niu Fu in astonishment, with a look of doubt on his face.
"The general is serious?"
Niu Fu dissatisfied: "Wen He, what are you talking about? What do you mean by taking it seriously? Could it be that this general will still take this matter as a joke with you!"
"Oh... no, no, Mo Li didn't mean that..."
Jia Xu hastily cupped his hands at Niu Fu, and then said with some doubts: "It's just that, according to Xiangguo's knowledge, at this time, it should be mainly to find out Liu Jian's true intentions. If you come up and fight directly, it's inevitable..."
"What is there to set up!" Niu Fu hurriedly said: "Xiangguo and Liu Jian have known each other for many years. Since Xiangguo took power, he has given Liu Jian a lot of benefits both openly and secretly. He is lucky! Seeing the rebellion of all the guards Xiangguo, you actually fell into trouble! He rebelled directly! Naturally, Xiangguo wants to cut him into pieces with his own hands!"
"Um……"
Jia Xu didn't answer.
"Wenhe, how do you think this battle will be fought!?" Niu Fu hurriedly asked him for advice.
Jia Xu pondered for a long time, glanced at Niu Fu, and said, "Hold back and beat."
"what?"
When Niu Fu heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Why are you...why are you still afraid that Liu Jian will fail?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that Liu Jian sent troops in the name of revenge, and all his subordinates are mourners. People who take revenge are not calm and impulsive, but Liu Jian is not an ordinary person. The general needs to observe , I also need to observe, understand?"
"Hmm..." Niu Fu didn't seem to want to observe.
He wants to beat Liu Jian directly!
Jia Xu said: "If the general thinks my method is inappropriate, he will lead his troops to fight Liu Jian, and Xu is willing to stay in the rear and supervise the food and grass for the general."
"Hey?! Hey, no, no, no! Listen to you! Observe! Let's go down the river first, build a camp, and observe Liu Jian's movements!"
…………
Dong Zhuo left Li Jue on the other side of Mengjin, and left everything that could represent his identity, pretending that he was still in Mengjin.
He himself led a group of fierce generals and elites to Xingyang quietly.
Niu Fu, on the other hand, followed Dong Zhuo's order to stop Liu Jian.
At this time, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others were fighting against Hu Zhen.
These coalition forces have a lot of soldiers and horses, and there are many heroes and warriors in the Central Plains, and there are many capable people among them. Therefore, they fought with Hu Zhen and even had an advantage at one time.
In fact, it stands to reason that if Hu Zhen makes good use of the Bingzhou Army, it would not be difficult to counterpress the Kwantung shepherds, but he doesn't want Lu Bu to steal his credit.
In Hu Zhen's eyes, the Bingzhou Army is more or less an outsider and cannot be trusted.
Therefore, he still placed Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in the rear.
After several battles between the Kwantung Allied Forces and Hu Zhen, although they were not completely victorious, they were not completely defeated either.
So Cao Cao suggested, please concentrate your forces, and take advantage of Dong Zhuo and his main force being pinned down by Zhu Jun. You should complete your efforts in one battle and take Xingyang. in the eyes.
Although Hu Zhen is considered a handsome talent, he is by no means invincible. Cao Cao felt that as long as everyone is united, they will be able to break through Hu Zhen's defense.
Even if Hu Zhen could not be completely defeated, as long as Xingyang was captured, it would be equivalent to putting a knife on Dong Zhuo's neck!
But people headed by Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, etc. did not listen.
They think that before the fighter plane arrives, they should still go deep into the trenches and high fences, and observe the enemy's actual situation.
After hearing what everyone said, Cao Cao was very angry. He thought that his side was on the offensive, so why did he go on the defensive?Right now Dong Zhuo is being restrained, if Dong Zhuo is not restrained and comes here to support, wouldn't our side be in danger?
Therefore, Cao Cao personally led his troops to the west, intending to surprise Hu Zhen in order to obtain full success.
Under normal circumstances, Cao Cao's move may have a slight chance of winning.
However, he didn't know that Dong Zhuo had quietly brought people here.
The man in command is no longer Hu Zhen, but Dong Zhuo.
Hu Zhen, the leader of the Xiliang army in the front, was also transferred to the rear by Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others were all sent to the front by Dong Zhuo to ambush in secret.
Dong Zhuo has experienced hundreds of battles, he counted the Kwantung armies, someone will definitely attack Xingyang!
As a result, Cao Cao traveled to Bianshui, Xingyang, and confronted Dong Zhuo's generals Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others. Because the soldiers' combat strength was too different, Cao Cao was defeated and he was injured by Liu Shi. Fortunately, he was rescued by his younger brother Cao Hong. Back to jujube.
But Cao Cao just refused to rest. Even if he was defeated and withdrew his troops, he still hoped that everyone would take an aggressive approach, occupy important areas first, and then divide his troops west to Wuguan to besiege Dong Zhuo.
But the members of the Suanzao League still refused to follow.
In this battle, Cao Cao lost his good friend Wei Zi, and his heart ached. He also saw that the people in the Kanto were not aggressive and were just avoiding the battle with deep ditches and high fortresses, so he led his troops south again, and went to Danyang County for the second time to recruit troops. Seek to expand the strength to discuss Dong again.
However, although Cao Cao was defeated, his act of righteousness this time also affected many heroes in the rebel army, such as Zhang Miao's hero Dian Wei, Bao Xin's hero Yu Jin, etc., they were quite disgusted with Cao Cao's fighting alone. Appreciate.
After Cao Cao left, Dong Zhuo didn't rest. Taking advantage of the mutual suspicion of the generals in the Kanto region and not daring to enter the army easily, he adopted methods of defeating each other and launched a fierce attack on the alliance army.
The first thing he aimed at was Han Fu who came all the way from Youzhou.
Today's chapter is a two-in-one chapter, with nearly [-] words, so I won't open it up.
