The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 308 Three General Stars
"Wen Yuan can follow me to conquer Liangzhou?" Dongfang Sheng said casually.

call!
Dongfang Sheng only felt a strong wind blowing from his side, and Zhang Liao stood up immediately, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

The next day, Dongfang Sheng called Zhang He and Zhang Liao over, let them get to know each other for a while, and then asked Zhang He to distribute part of the soldiers to Zhang Liao.

These two guys are no less than "five good generals", and they admired each other when they met. Dongfang Sheng asked Zhang He to assign a group of soldiers to Zhang Liao, and he did not hesitate to assign the most elite soldiers under his command to Zhang Liao.

This time he went to Liangzhou, Dongfang Sheng brought Zhao Yun, Zhang Xi, Zhang Liao, as well as the army and air force he trained.

Of course, this is also the first time that Dongfang Shenglian's air force has gone out. For this reason, Badao said that he still needs to practice for a while before going, but Dongfang Sheng only said that the time is ripe, and it is time to pull it out and try it. .

Dongfang Sheng ordered an urgent march to the border of Liangzhou, and the troops were divided into four groups. Zhang Yun and Zhang Liao each led the team, Zhao Yun also led the team alone, and Dongfang Sheng led the army and air force to go in the same direction.

Before leaving, Dongfang Sheng called Zhao Yun, Zhang Xi, and Zhang Liao together for a few hours of secret talks, and then the three of them led their soldiers and set off.

Dongfang Sheng glanced back at Badao, who was worried with a weed in his mouth.

"Master, why did you disperse all your forces?" Badao asked in a puzzled way, "We didn't have enough troops in the first place. If we disperse now, we won't give Ma Teng and Han Sui from Liangzhou a chance to defeat them one by one." ?”

"Hey, have you learned the art of war with Wenhe recently?" Dongfang Sheng said with a smile.

"I...Mr. Jia's writing is too complicated. The words on it may recognize me, but I don't know them." Badao said with a sad face. Even a jerk can read and do basic reading.

One of the ways the gentry class controlled power during this period: knowledge.

Knowledge is power, and the meaning of power in this sentence is power and money.

A bastard like Badao who looks good is actually the most miserable. If he hadn't met Dongfang Sheng, a large part of him might have died on the street.

"Hey, you have to study hard." Dongfang Sheng patted Ba Dao on the shoulder and said: "Wen He has a lot of knowledge, if he doesn't learn well, he will have no chance."

Badao lowered his head and remained silent. He really couldn't learn it. Adults' learning is disturbed by many external factors. Badao didn't have too much determination, so naturally he couldn't calm down to learn.

Dongfang Sheng saw that Badao knew the situation of his apprentice without saying a word, so he could only let out a long sigh and said, "You ask the guys below to check everything again and then pack up and go!"

"Here!"

Badao went down with his face flushed.

In the distance, two soldiers wearing that kind of piece of cowhide armor were hiding aside and whispering.

"Lu Yi, this is your idea. If Brother Dongfang finds out, you can resist alone."

"Zhuge Liang, you are so promising, what's wrong with me resisting? If I make meritorious service in conquering Liangzhou this time, will Brother Dongfang still punish me?"

After the two finished speaking, they glanced at Dongfang Sheng cautiously, then lowered their heads and stopped talking.

It's just that Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi never expected that the army's marching speed would be so fast. Although the two of them are in good shape, they still can't keep up with the pace of the large army.

Jincheng County, Zhiyunwu (now Pinggou, Shuiqing County, Gansu).

The point where Dongfang Sheng entered Liangzhou was Jincheng County. The western part was open and suitable for horses to gallop. Dongfang Sheng brought pure infantry and air force, which seemed to be a disadvantage.

The mobility and huge impact of cavalry is definitely a nightmare for infantry without horse support. Of course, this is not absolute. There have been incidents of cavalry being defeated by infantry in history, and it was during the Three Kingdoms period.

In terms of marching speed, Dongfang Sheng considers himself the second, and no one dares to admit that he is the first. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao can be regarded as an expert in fast marching, but he is not as good as Dongfang Sheng.

So after Dongfang Sheng arrived at the appointed place, he waited for a long time before Zhao Yun, Zhang Xi and Zhang Liao arrived.

There are three counties in front of them, namely Xiping County, Jincheng County and Wuwei County. Among these three counties, Xiping County and Jincheng County are about the same size, and Wuwei County has the largest area.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng had already selected Jincheng County in advance, leaving only Xiping County and Wuwei County.

The final result was that Zhao Yun chose Xiping County, and Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun chose Wuwei County.

After assigning the entry point, Zhao Yun and his troops split into two groups and headed towards Xiping County and Wuwei County non-stop.

Dongfang Sheng did not enter Jincheng County immediately, but picked two guys from the army to sneak into Jincheng County in disguise.

After the two spies sneaked into Jincheng County, Dongfang Sheng ordered to camp on the spot and have a good rest.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi got together again, marching quickly all the way, both of them had blisters on their feet, but now those blisters have turned into calluses.

"You two are not bad." Dongfang Sheng's voice startled Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi.

"Brother Dongfang!"

The two shouted together, and then the two lowered their heads in tacit understanding for the first time.

"I thought you two would give up halfway, but I didn't expect you to persevere." Dongfang Sheng didn't show an angry expression, but was a little happy: "Did you find anything during this journey?"

"My brother's army is indeed an invincible army." Seeing that Dongfang Sheng was not angry, Zhuge Liang took the lead and said, "But if you encounter a powerful cavalry, how should you deal with it?"

"Hmph, what's so scary about cavalry?" Lu Yi snorted and retorted: "I just need to block them with baggage carts on the outside and large shields on the inside. I ask you, is there any use for cavalry?"

"What if I attack with fire?" Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

Lu Yi was speechless for a while, Zhuge Liang smiled happily.

These two men have now shown their later styles. Lu Yi likes to defend, Zhuge Liang likes to use fire to attack, and of course he is also an offensive strategist.

Dongfang Sheng said quite gratified: "Jincheng County is your test site, you two each come up with a plan, and the one whose plan is better will use it."

"I don't agree." Lu Yi objected: "Zhuge is good at attacking, and I am good at taking defense as offense. Brother can't judge by attack alone."

"Okay, then one person has one plan, and if it's good, I will adopt it." Dongfang Sheng said with a smile.
