Chapter 103: Crossing the River

At this time, in Jiang Xiaobai's mansion, there were also generals such as Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Wang Lin, and everyone was gathered next to the sand table to discuss the marching route.

"General, what is this?"

There was a holy decree placed on the side of the sand table, Dong Zhuo's sharp eyes quickly saw it, Jiang Xiaobai knew very well that Dong Zhuo was knowingly asking, but he had just given him 800 Liangzhou horses, and it was not good to refute his face immediately.

"General Zhong Ying, I just said that even if you don't come to me today, I will send someone to call you here."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and threw the holy decree to Dong Zhuo: "This was received two days ago, the battle situation in Anding County is tight, and the last pass in the Sanfu region, Quail City, has been fiercely attacked by the enemy one after another, and it is in danger, Your Majesty saw that the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, so he issued an urgent holy decree and ordered me to go to Anding County as soon as possible." ”

"Since you have already received this holy decree, why are you holding back for so long!"

Dong Zhuo carefully read the content of the holy decree, Emperor Liu Hong's urging was obvious and strong, and Jiang Xiaobai was indifferent when he received the holy decree, which was a capital crime of rebellion.

"General, disobeying the holy decree is a capital crime, you really don't want to die!"

"The generals are not subject to military orders abroad, and it is natural that I am unwilling to send troops."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the sand table map, and Dong Zhuo's gaze followed the direction of his finger: "General Zhongying, look, to the west of Quail City is an endless mountain range, stretching for hundreds of miles, and to the north is the Malian River. ”

"There is only one bridge over the Malian River, connecting Beidi County and Anding County, through this bridge, you can see Quail City, this is the path that our army must take to support Quail City, once we get around this bridge, we need to walk an extra ten days."

"This bridge is our only choice, its importance is self-evident, but this bridge has not been damaged in the slightest at the moment, General Zhong Ying, what do you think?"

Dong Zhuo frowned and hesitated: "You mean that the enemy army will set up an ambush at the other end of the bridge, and when our army crosses the bridge, it will strike?" ”

"General Zhongying, you are really Bingxue smart." Jiang Xiaobai looked at Dong Zhuo with appreciation.

Dong Zhuo: "......"

Gain Dong Zhuo's Negative Energy +128......

"My subordinates found out that the enemy general who led the army to besiege Quail City was Li Wenhou, who was one of the leaders of the thieves who caused trouble in Liangzhou, but as far as I know, in addition to Li Wenhou, Han Sui is also participating in this battle."

"Li Wenhou is brave and unscrupulous, he is a reckless man without brains, and there is nothing to be afraid of, but Han Sui has to guard against it, this person can be respected as the leader of the rebels, and he must have his merits."

"If my speculation is right, this time the ambush of the Malian River must be the handiwork of Han Sui, I heard that Han Sui is a talent, but unfortunately Huai Cai did not meet, so he had to stoop to Jincheng County to be a small overseer, and now it seems that the rumors are true, Han Sui does have good attainments in marching and fighting."

Jiang Xiaobai gushed endlessly, Dong Zhuo had already been stunned by the side, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai and analyzed the deployment of the enemy army in a clear manner, and seemed to see Huangfu Song's figure in a trance.

"Wait a minute, General Shuaizhi, Zhuo really wants to know, how did you know that Han Sui was in this battle to besiege Quail City?"

Unconsciously, Dong Zhuo had already begun to admire Jiang Xiaobai, so he used the title of his peers when he spoke.

"Of course, I sent someone to Anding County to find out." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"So General Shuaizhi, you have been silent in Qingjian City for half a month, it's not that you haven't done anything!" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Do you think that Jiang Ye is the same as you, a group of wine bags and rice bags get together every day, chewing the root of their tongue in secret, and the lord does much more than that."

It was Wang Lin who spoke, and when he heard this, Dong Zhuo's face was as black as coal, and the whole person was there, how embarrassing and embarrassing it was.

Dong Zhuo: "The handsome general, it is the heart of Zhuo villain who lives in the belly of a gentleman, I am really ashamed to misunderstand you." ”

"General Zhongying, you are self-aware, and I am very relieved that you can have a clear understanding of yourself." Jiang Xiaobai grinned.

Dong Zhuo: "??? ”

Gain Dong Zhuo's negative energy +268......

Although Dong Zhuo was unwilling, he had to admit that Jiang Xiaobai did have something extraordinary, his wisdom was like a demon, and he was strategic.

"Shuai Zhi, although the enemy has set up a bridge over the Fumalian River, but you must have a strategy to break the enemy, so don't go around in circles, if you have any orders, Zhuo is willing to listen to the dispatch."

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from General Zhongying."

Jiang Xiaobai laughed, and then he told Dong Zhuo about his arrangements, and when Dong Zhuo heard that he was going to let his army be the vanguard and cross the Malian River Bridge, there were countless grass and mud horses galloping across in his heart.

Jiang Xiaobai said very tactfully, in the final analysis, he just let the troops under Dong Zhuo's command act as bait.

Next.

With Jiang Xiaobai's order, the army marched out, left Qingjian City, and set off towards Anding County.

About two days later, the main force of the Han army arrived at the Malian River.

The Malian River is deep and turbulent, with a radius of 100 miles, and only by crossing the river through the Malian River Bridge can you quickly enter Anding County and support Quail City.

If you don't, you'll have to make a detour downstream.

In that case, it would take at least half a month more, and by then, even if Jiang Xiaobai and Dong Zhuo's troops arrived, Quail City would have already been breached.

Standing at the head of the Malian River bridge, Dong Zhuo was unable to give an order, the number of troops under his command was not large, more than 10,000 people, and they had to be pulled to be used as bait, which was really miserable.

"General Zhongying, go with confidence, I will pray for you."

Seeing Dong Zhuo standing silently at the head of the bridge, Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, his words fell into Dong Zhuo's ears, Dong Zhuo's face was ugly, and it didn't sound like good words.

"Let's go!"

Under Jiang Xiaobai's gaze, Dong Zhuo finally reluctantly set off with the army.

The Malian River is very wide, the bridge is very long, after Dong Zhuo's army stepped on the bridge, the imaginary enemy army did not appear, the other end of the bridge was empty, the breeze was blowing, and there was not the slightest enemy figure.

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo began to doubt Jiang Xiaobai's judgment, but he did not relax, tightly tightened the reins, and once he sensed that something was wrong, he immediately turned around.

However, the figure of the enemy was never seen.

Until Dong Zhuo's vanguard troops, nearly 1,000 soldiers, crossed the Malian River and set foot on the land of Anding County, the expected enemy ambush had not yet appeared.

"General, Jiang Xiaobai is suspicious, obviously worried, where did the ambush come from, it is clearly his ......"

Some generals under Dong Zhuo's command sneered at Jiang Xiaobai, but before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow roared from the direction of Anding County, passed over Dong Zhuo's head, and shot through the chest of the person who spoke.

"There is an ambush, protect the general!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone be careful!"

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, everyone!"
