Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

The news from Shangjun reached Chen Chu that day.

All the Qiang people and Zhang Ji were arrested, and none of them escaped. This was the result of Chen Chuyao.Next, the plan can be used to make Dong Zhuo relax his vigilance, and then take Beidi County with a thunderous force, and force Chang'an.The North Army has everything ready and is just waiting for news from Xiliang.

However, in this whole matter, there was one thing that made Chen Chu and his advisers feel uneasy.Why did Dong Zhuo dare to act like this? Even if he succeeded, wouldn't he worry about attracting revenge from the Northern Army?Is he sure to resist the northern army?Or does he have reinforcements?

Through the analysis of the whole matter, Xu Shu and Lu Su came to the conclusion that it is very likely that someone among the princes of the Guandong had communicated with Dong Zhuo some news, and the content of the news was very likely that some princes were about to launch an attack on Bingzhou, and at the same time invited Dong Zhuo Dong Zhuo started together. [

Based on this, Xu Shu and Lu Su strongly suggested that Chen Chu abandon the original plan to go south and leave enough strength to deal with the imminent mobilization of the Eastern princes.

After hearing Lu Su and Xu Shu's analysis, Chen Chu was shocked, but he knew that the possibility was very high.The so-called tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If I am too conspicuous, it will definitely arouse the fear of all the princes.

Although canceling the plan to go south to Guanzhong was the most sensible decision at the moment, Chen Chu was not reconciled. After preparing for so long, did he just give up like this?

Chen Chu had a long talk with Lu Su and Xu Shu on this matter. Finally, Chen Chu made a compromise decision. The timetable for the army going south remains unchanged, but the Hexi Army will not participate in the southward battle. The total strength of the southward battle is Bingzhou The Legion plus the 15 Luoyang Legion has a total of [-] troops; in addition, the goal of going south has changed from capturing the entire territory of Guanzhong to occupying a county in Beidi. The purpose of occupying Beidi County is to prepare for the future occupation of the entire territory of Guanzhong. Beidi County is located in the north of Chang'an, and it is the gateway to the north of Chang'an. As long as the Northern Conscript Army occupies Beidi County, Chang'an will always be under the threat of the Northern Conscript Army.

The [-] Luoyang Army and Bingzhou Army will participate in the southward battle, while the Hexi Army will stay in the direction of Jiguan and Huguan to deal with emergencies.

In fact, Lu Su and Xu Shu did not agree with this plan very much. After all, it is still unknown how many people from the eastern princes will participate in the attack on Bingzhou.If the total strength of the eastern princes exceeds imagination, then this kind of division of troops is undoubtedly very dangerous.

The reason why they agreed to this plan in the end was because they believed that according to the current situation, the Beidi Army was capable of occupying Beidi County in a short period of time, and Dong Zhuo's main force was bound to be restrained by Ma Teng. The army can send the main force back to Bingzhou in a short time.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the whole plan.But the so-called unpredictable things in the world, Chen Chu's behavior of dividing the troops almost caused a catastrophe.But this is a later story, so I won't go into details here.

In this whole plan, there is actually a hidden danger.Now it is impossible for the Beibei Army to go against Ma Teng according to the original plan, and Ma Teng will definitely be used as a spear to contain Dong Zhuojun. Chen Chu had a grudge.

In fact, no matter what choice Chen Chu made, Ma Teng was a pawn being used.

"Great Master, good news!" Li Ru ran into the Grand Master's residence with an excited expression on his face.

"Why is Zhongjian so happy?" Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on top like a mountain of meat, asked with a smile.

Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo, saluted first, and then said: "Grand Master, Zhang Ji just sent the news that Shangjun is already in our hands!"

"Oh!", Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly, "Okay! That's great! Zhang Ji really lived up to my expectations!"

At this moment, Dong Zhuo noticed that there seemed to be a trace of worry on Li Ru's face, so he asked in surprise, "Zhang Ji has successfully controlled Shangjun, why does Zhong Jian look worried?"

Li Ru immediately cupped his fists at Dong Zhuo and said, "I'm worried that if the Eastern princes fail to attack Bingzhou as promised,

If so, then our situation will be even worse! "

Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning, what Li Ru said was indeed a problem.If the eastern princes did not send troops as promised, then Dong Zhuofang would bear all the troops of the northern army.Although Dong Zhuo has always been arrogant, he has no confidence at all in the face of the main force of the North Army. [

After a long silence, Dong Zhuo said in a low voice, "It's too late to think about this now! I think Cao Cao and the others won't break their word. After all, if we are ruined, it will only be bad for them, not good."

Li Ru nodded, also thinking that with Cao Cao's resourcefulness, he should not do anything to help the forces of the Northern Army in the Long March.However, Dong Zhuofang's fate is now completely out of their own hands, and Li Ru feels very awkward about this.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On August [-], a bad news from the west reached Chang'an. Ma Teng and Han Sui led one hundred thousand Xiliang troops to suddenly attack Longxi County. The [-] Dong Zhuo troops stationed in Longxi suffered heavy losses unexpectedly. They have all been retreated to Longxi County.

If Longxi is not supported in time, it will only be a matter of time before Longxi falls.Longxi County is located thousands of miles west of Chang'an, and it is the most critical barrier to the west of Chang'an. If Longxi falls, it will be very disadvantageous to Dong Zhuo's side who are entrenched in Chang'an.

"Zhongjian, Ma Teng and Han Sui suddenly attacked! How should we deal with it?" Dong Zhuo asked, his tone seemed anxious and angry.

Li Ru thought for a while, then replied: "Grand Master, for now, we can only dispatch the main force stationed in Beidi County to help Longxi!"

"Okay! Let's do it like this! Zhong Jian, go and deliver the order immediately!" Dong Zhuo ordered immediately.

Li Ru respectfully agreed, but there seemed to be a trace of worry on his face, but he didn't say anything to Dong Zhuo.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On August 15, Guo Si and Li Jue who were stationed in Beidi County received the order.Dong Zhuo ordered Li Jue to lead an army of [-] to assist Longxi, as soon as the order arrived.

On the same day, Li Jue led an army of 15 to leave Beidi County and march west to Longxi.Guo Si led the remaining [-] troops to continue to garrison Beidi County.

Dong Zhuo currently has 26 troops, of which 20 are stationed in Longxi, [-] are stationed in Beidi County, and more than [-] are stationed in Chang'an and Meiwu.

At this moment, in order to save Longxi, Dong Zhuo transferred 20 of the 15 troops stationed in Beidi County. This is exactly what Chen Chu's side is happy to see.

However, Dong Zhuo was not worried about Beidi County, because he believed that in addition to the 3 defenders in Beidi County, there were more than [-] defenders in Shangjun.It is impossible for the northern army to pose a real threat to its own side in a hurry, not to mention that the eastern princes are about to launch an attack on Bingzhou.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Almost at the same time that Dong Zhuo received the urgent report from the west, Chen Chu who was in Bingzhou also received a message from the west.Unlike Dong Zhuo, this news was definitely good news for Chen Chu.

As soon as he received the news, Chen Chu sent an order to the Bingzhou Army, which had been preparing for the battle.Zhang Ja and Gao Shun then led an army of [-] from Bingzhou and marched towards Shangjun at a rapid pace.

The reason why the Bingzhou Legion marched to Bingzhou at this time was mainly to prevent Dong Zhuofang from seeing through the purpose of conscripting the Northern Army. After all, the actions of a [-] army cannot be hidden from those who are interested; and even if Dong Zhuofang discovered it at this time, They also have no way to make coping adjustments in a short period of time.

However, Chen Chu was not happy for long.Two days later, on August 30th, urgent information came from the shadow troops lurking in the Central Plains. Both Yuan Shaojun and Cao Cao's army were making large-scale mobilizations. Cao Cao had assembled an army of 40 and marched westward from Qinghe. The target seemed to be Huguan. and Yuan Shao has also assembled an army of [-] in Luoyang, and the goal seems to be Jiguan.

By this time, everything became clear. The reason why Dong Zhuo dared to instigate Zhang Ji to launch a rebellion in Shangjun was because of the support of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

One hundred thousand troops. [

I have to say that this time Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have invested a lot of money!Cao Cao had a total force of 40, and Yuan Shao had a total force of 50. In order to destroy Chen Chu, they took out 90 of the total 70 troops to attack Chen Chu.This is really a big deal!

With an army of 70, this can already threaten the survival of Bingzhou!

Although Chen Chu has 61 troops, the number of troops that can be used on the Central Plains battlefield will never exceed 40.He couldn't ignore the threat from the North.

When this grim situation was in front of the Northern Expedition Army, Xu Shu and Lu Su once again strongly suggested to Chen Chu to immediately withdraw the army going south, and do their best to deal with the Cao Cao and Yuan Shao troops who were about to launch an attack.

But Chen Chu hesitated. ! ~!
