Chapter 34: Dong Zhong's Heart
The battlefield was full of corpses, and the soldiers who obeyed his orders again and rushed to Yecheng were only four or five out of ten before the battle, he should be angry, but he didn't.
When the banner with the word Gongsun on the top of Yecheng fell in the wind, and the banner embroidered with the cool characters and horse characters embroidered with Phnom Penh hung from the city gate from left to right, he should be full of joy, but he didn't.
The towering arrow tower was toppled by the soldiers, and the dock fort outside the city was rushed into it by the fierce and brave soldiers of the Liang Kingdom, and it was set on fire and destroyed.
Ma Yue just rode his horse on the suspension bridge, sighed, and watched all this happen slowly.
He had no spare time to pay attention to the anger of the tigers and wolves of the Liang Kingdom, which seemed to him necessary and unavoidable, and his eyes searched for a figure among the old and weak women and children who had been driven out of the Gongsun Clan's Dock Fort.
A figure that is important to him.
Ma Chao and Ma Dai rode and paced together, and among the generals of Liangguo, only the two brothers were left, Ma Chao arched his hand and asked, "Uncle, what are we going to do now?" ”
"Collect the wounded soldiers, recruit doctors and craftsmen from each county, send soldiers and horses to patrol the counties, and cut off the remnants of Gongsun and the party." Ma Yue paused for a moment, and saw two columns of Liangguo soldiers and horses escorting a group of women and children in the distance, and the most conspicuous thing in the middle was a young man with a face somewhat similar to Gongsun Zhan. Ma Yue raised his hand to stop the two nephews from continuing, and quietly waited for the soldiers to escort Gongsun Zhan's family over, before leaning down on the horse and asking the young man, "You said the son of Gongsun Bogui?" ”
The young man didn't speak, and Ma Yue saw the unwilling indignation in his eyes, just like Gongsun Zhan's expression when he was young when he mentioned a foreigner.
Sighing, Ma Yue said: "Don't worry, I have a word with General Gongsun in advance, and I will not hurt the women and children, I will send you to a new place, leave some belongings, and start your life again." ”
Ma Dai's face changed when he heard this, he saw the hatred in the eyes of this Gongsun Xu clearly, and hurriedly hit the horse and whispered: "Uncle, this is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain!" ”
"How do you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots? Hehe. Ma Yue waved his hand lightly and said to Ma Dai: "Choose a capable person to lead the team, and lead five hundred horsemen to escort General Gongsun's family all the way to Youzhou to meet Liu He. ”
Ma Dai's intelligence and ability are second to none in the second generation of the Ma family, and when he saw Ma Yue say this sentence expressionlessly, he immediately knew what his uncle was thinking, and immediately promised to say: "My nephew understands, so I will go down to prepare a gift and choose someone to set off." ”
"There is no urgency in this matter, the top priority is to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers and send them back to Longdu." Ma Yue waved his hand, called Ma Dai and said: "In addition, it is necessary to transport troops and armor from Liangguo, and the progress must be accelerated, and the people in various places can not wait, and then it is to recruit young and strong, and I will organize 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou at the beginning of spring next year!" ”
Send Gongsun Zhan's family to Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan is Liu He's revenge killer, and he will be the one who will kill his family and hurry up. However, King Liang said that he must not embarrass his family in the first place, if Liu He really kills Gongsun Xu, Liang Guo will have an excuse to attack Youzhou, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The war is still going on, but Liangzhou itself is no longer able to support a larger scale of soldiers and horses, the counties and counties in Liangzhou need to be suppressed, and the trade routes in the Western Regions also need to be maintained, not to mention that the westernmost part of Liangguo is already bordering the Western Regions big country Kushan, only separated by an unattainable mountaintop. The problem of soldiers can only be solved by Jizhou itself.
The battle on Dong Zhuo's side has not yet been resolved, and Liu Bei is also in a stalemate in the battle with Sun Ce, although it is not stable, but Ma Yue finally defeated Jizhou's henchman Gongsun Zhan.
Then the next target is obviously the chaotic Xuzhou that blooms everywhere, which can be hit. Hu people are powerful in Youzhou, which can be attacked. Even Qingzhou can enter the territory that Liangguo is about to be included into, and it can be attacked everywhere.
Because of this, in order to eliminate worries, Youzhou, which is located in the northernmost part, must be brought under its control.
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?
Ma Yue sent three secret letters in one night, sending Ma to gallop and merge with the state, ordering Jia Xu to transfer to Jizhou, and recruiting Pei's eldest son, Pei Qian, to take over as the assassin of the state.
So far, all the young people of the Pei family have joined Ma Yue's Liangguo, and they have all held important positions.
He needs Jia Xu by his side so much to give him advice.
Standing at the head of Yecheng City in the night wind, his gaze looked southwest, and there was no other scene in his field of vision except for the rolling mountains looming under the night sky, there was no starry sky on this night, only a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
If you can't count them all into my arms, what is the use of the country?
……
When the news of the Jizhou Gongsun Rebellion was cut off reached Yizhou, it greatly boosted the soldiers of the Liangguo army who participated in the war abroad.
Dong Zhuo held the war report and proudly scooped up a bowl of Yangtze River water with a bucket, paying homage to the north.
Sun Jian is the most terrible enemy for Dong Zhuo in his life, and it is not an exaggeration to praise him for using his troops like a god, although at the beginning of the war, Dong Zhuo won many first prizes, and he didn't even need reinforcements from Yizhou to help him fight. Even beheaded the old minister of the Sun family, Cheng Pu, on the bank of the Hanshui River, and Huang Gai under the city of Fuling.
Forcefully, the front was pushed two hundred miles to the east.
But luck did not last long in love with Dong Zhongying, a veteran of Liangzhou, and Sun Jian, who drove more than 10,000 horses from the White Emperor City, restrained the offensive advanced by the Liangguo soldiers.
At the end of May, Dong Zhongying pulled out Bazhai at night.
At the beginning of June, three armies were broken in a row.
At the end of June, Sun Jian sent troops from the White Emperor City to advance westward, and the vanguard general Chen Wu broke Liu Bao, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu, in the south of Linjiang County, and then Liu Bao withdrew into Linjiang and was besieged by Chen Wu's troops.
At the beginning of July, Ma Yue Jizhou broke Sun Zhan, and Sun Jian's water and land armies crossed the Linjiang defense line, ignoring Chen Wubu, who was besieging Liu Bao, and reappointed Xu Sheng as the pioneer of Mabu, and the veteran Deng Dang as the vanguard of the water army, and entered Tong County.
In mid-July, Dong Zhuo personally led his troops and horses to take Tongxian County as bait, lured Xu Sheng to storm the city, and took advantage of the night to make the Liangguo warships with gravel cannons smash Deng Dang's flagship, and defeated the vanguard of the Jiangdong Navy on the river, and then ordered Zhang Xiu, Li Li, Gao Shun, and Cheng Lian to attack Xu Sheng, and won a complete victory.
And now, Dong Zhuo received the battle report from Jizhou, and also received that Sun Jian led the troops and horses to be stationed in Linjiang, and set up the army to collect the soldiers and horses, and it was obvious that the next attack would be a thunderous offensive that would be overwhelming.
Dong Zhuo is also accumulating strength, he is waiting for reinforcements from Yizhou, and he also has to wait for the rear soldiers and horses to rush to Tongxian County and fight to the death with Sun Resolute.
How could a warrior not look forward to a big war, so the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom who fought in the south were all in high spirits, waiting for the next war to start. But Dong Zhuo's reasons for looking forward to the war were different from theirs.
The reason why the samurai of Liangguo fought hard was to increase the number of officials and knights, to make meritorious achievements, and to expand the territory of Liangguo.
But Dong Zhuo didn't think so, he wanted to fight this battle, he wanted to win this battle, just to kill Sun Jian.
He had never wanted to kill someone so much.
As the upper-class old man in Liangguo, although Dong Pang and Ma Yue had a dirty relationship. But for Liangguo, this old and fat old Liangren is not relaxed.
He knew very well that the Liang Kingdom was now in the years of scarcity, the most difficult time for an emerging country. Although the young people of Liangguo far surpassed their old bones in terms of knowledge, they were still too far behind in terms of experience.
Every time he thinks about this, his heart is conflicted. He hoped that these young people would have more experience, but he also hoped that they would not get any experience.
Because this experience and experience can only be forged by blood and fire.
But if this is the case, generations of Liang people still need blood and fire to gain valuable experience, so what do they want these old people and uncles to do?
The reason why there is today's Dong Zhongying is that his nose has been broken again and again, and the fat on his body has been cut off one by one with a sharp knife, but he still survives tenaciously.
He didn't want the descendants of Liangguo to suffer the same humiliation and experience as himself in the future, or rather, he didn't want his son, Xiao Dong, who was a dancing spoon, to suffer such an experience.
The cost of this experience is too painful!
If he had to endure it, he would rather have it on his own.
I hope to use my dying flesh and blood to pave a safe and enjoyable road for children.
Therefore, Sun Jian must die in front of him Dong Zhongying!
The myth of Jiangdong people dominating the world should come to an abrupt end when he walks in front of Dong Zhongying.
Because he knew that the enemy could not be dragged to death by him, and that he would not live longer than that man. Sun Jian is younger and more powerful than him Dong Zhuo. When he died, he was not at ease about leaving such a terrible enemy to Ma Yue.
and Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, who has the style of his father, must die.
Because he was not optimistic about his son, and he did not want his son to inherit some of his military talents.
This is also the reason why Dong Lao Er fostered his son in Ma Yue's house, and he hopes that his son will not be a knife-like person like himself when he grows up in the future, but a person who uses a knife.
The night breeze was late, Dong Zhuo sat cross-legged next to a crooked-necked tree by the river, holding a pocket and drinking the river water.
He misses his son a little.
When this war is over, he will return to Longdu to see if Dong Yu has grown taller again, and see what he has learned.
As a prince of Liangguo, I'm afraid he can't take an escort or even lead troops into Longdu, but he doesn't care about that. When the battle was won and Xiao Ma'er celebrated the generals, he wanted to ask Ma Yue to be an intermediary for Dong Yu's apprenticeship, and let his son worship Cai Bo'er as a teacher.
In fact, it would be better if he could apprentice to Liang Hu, but Liang Hu Lao'er has not been in good health in recent years, and I am afraid that he will return to the west in a few years.
Dong Zhuo knew that Dong Yu, as the son of the princes, would stay until he died, and the title would be his. He doesn't need merit or martial arts, and he doesn't need to apprentice to a Liangguo humerus like Cheng Li or Jia Xu, he doesn't need to have much ability.
Dong Zhuo hopes that his son will know how to live and become a real nobleman...... greedy for pleasure, drunk and dreaming of death.
The horn of the camp sounded, and the horn of the bull was blown three times, which was the news of the enemy's situation thirty miles away.
Dong Zhuo shook his head and got up, whistled to summon the mount standing on the side and bowed his head to eat grass, raised his hand to dry the river water in his pocket, tilted his head and buckled his head, and turned over on the horse.
"Sun Jian, come on, come on, let Dong fight with you!"
