Chapter 133: The Great War Begins
When Yuan Shao got the news that Lu Bu had killed Wang Kuang, Lu Bu had already fled with his men.
"It's so rampant!" Yuan Shao was furious when he learned the news of his friend's death, and he took the case, looked at the princes in the tent and said: "Lu Bu is cunning, who can capture and kill him?" ”
Although I also know that Lu Bu will fight, but after all, the contact time was short, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Lu Bu is also a brave and unscrupulous horseman, not to be afraid, who would have thought that this Lu Bu would suddenly kill himself so painfully, Wang Kuang is Yuan Shao's friend, and he is also Yuan Shao's supporter, and now Wang Kuang is dead, for Yuan Shao, it is not just as simple as folding all the way to the princes.
When the princes heard this, they were all silent, although there were not many people and horses in Lu Bu, they were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, just like this sudden attack on Wang Kuang, hit and run, and you can't catch up if you want to.
"Yuan Gong!" Gongsun Zhan, who had just arrived, stood up and saluted to Yuan Shao of He: "Lu Bu's department is only two thousand, but his troops are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, it is quite difficult to capture and kill, I think that when the army crosses the river, break through Chenggao and take Luoyang!" ”
"Yes, I have been waiting for several months here, but I have not achieved the slightest, and now I am even more bullied by Na Lu Bu like this, if it spreads, how will the people of the world think of me?"
"Our army's strength is now far superior to Dong Zhuo's, why can't we break the enemy?"
Seeing that everyone was indignant, Yuan Shao also nodded in agreement: "In this case, who can be a pioneer?" ”
The big tent, which was originally noisy and shouting, suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and his eyes invariably looked at Yuan Shao.
As the actual alliance leader, at this time, the alliance leader should contribute, if you don't contribute, why let others die for you?
Cao Cao originally wanted to be out of the ranks, someone had to take the lead at this time, but he was pulled by Xi Zhicai, and shook his head slightly, Cao Cao had already sent out a soldier, and he suffered heavy losses, at this time, he couldn't let Cao Cao go.
Yuan Shao's face turned dark, these people only wanted benefits, and they didn't want to contribute at all.
Just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, he saw a general come in quickly from outside the tent and salute Yuan Shao: "Duke Yuan, there is news from the direction of Chenggao, Taifu, Taichang and the people of the Yuan clan of Jingshi have been killed by Dong Zhuo early yesterday morning, and now, the heads of Taifu and Taichang have been hung on the Chenggao city wall!" ”
"What!?" When Yuan Shao heard this, his face instantly turned pale, he didn't kill him earlier, but he killed him at this time, didn't he roast him on the fire?
"If I don't take revenge, I swear not to be a man!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Who wants to be a pioneer?" As long as you can break through Chenggao, you will recommend him as the leader of the alliance! ”
Now, I can't take care of a lot, Yuan Shao himself doesn't have much money, but if he wants the princes to move troops, there is no benefit, and the water will listen to him?
Gongsun Zhan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Is what Gong Yuan said true?" ”
Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "All the princes are here, you can be witnessed!" ”
"Okay, the last will go!" Gongsun Zhan was not ambiguous, and after bowing directly to Yuan Shao, he strode out of the tent, ordered the soldiers and horses, and pounced on Cheng Gao.
Yuan Shao was worried that Gongsun Zhan would lose, so he ordered Qiao Mao and Yuan Yu to lead their headquarters to accompany them, while Yuan Shao himself personally led the coalition army to cross the river, Tao Qian and Han Fu occupied Aocang, and the rest followed Yuan Shao to prepare to attack Xingyang.
The 200,000 coalition troops, after several months of souring the Zao troops, finally began to move, and the news naturally couldn't be hidden, and Dong Zhuo's side quickly got the news.
Not only Yuan Shao's side, Yuan Shu also sent troops from Liang County, his side was faster, and he had already commanded his men and horses to attack Yique Pass, and early the next morning, Luoyang came to Yique Pass's urgent official document.
"Taishi, now Yuan Shao's alliance army is the main force of the thief army, although Yuan Shu's offensive is fierce, but his fierce general Sun Jian has died, and there is no need to be afraid, just order a general to garrison Yique Pass, and then Cheng Gao direction, Yuan Shao's three-way army is coming together, arrogant, and should gather heavy troops to defend the palace." After Li Ru read the battle report, he bowed to Dong Zhuo and said.
"Yique Pass?" Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this: "But I don't know who is willing to guard Yique Pass?" ”
"Taishi, the last general is willing to go!" Chen Mo took a step forward and saluted Dong Zhuo, with Yuan Shu, he has torn his face, and Yuan Shao's side is a real battle, at this time it is not suitable for him to participate, it is better to go to Yique Pass to get a lot of military achievements, which can also make Dong Zhuo trust himself more.
"Taishi, the last general is also willing to go!" Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong each came out and saluted Dong Zhuo.
"It's rare that the three generals have this intention, so Chen Mo will be the main general, and you will have 8,000 soldiers and horses, and a total of 10,000 people in your department will go to break the enemy, Hua Xiong can be the deputy general, and Hu Zhen will supervise the army." Dong Zhuo looked at the three of them and smiled.
Chen Mo has made a lot of efforts for the relocation of the people during this period of time, and he also had the credit of killing Sun Jian before, and now Chen Mo personally asks for his life, and it is not easy to refuse, but Dong Zhuo does not trust Chen Mo, to be honest, so he will be a supervisor of the Hu Zhen faction who is a little incompatible with him, which can be regarded as a balance against Chen Mo, as for letting Hu Zhen or Hua Xiong be the main general, Chen Mo assists him, that is not good, now Chen Mo is more than Jiuqing, and he has a lot of military exploits, whether it is an official or a name, it is not comparable to Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong.
With 8,000 Xiliang troops accompanying him, plus Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong, the two Xiliang generals, Chen Mo couldn't betray even if he wanted to.
"The last general commands!" Chen Mo got up, and after taking over the order, he left with Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong.
As for how Dong Zhuo arranged the defense in the direction of Chenggao, Chen Mo would not care about it for the time being, and would clean up Yuan Shu first, and then take care of the affairs here.
After each of the three of them ordered their troops and horses, they met at Jinmen.
"Two generals, the Yique Pass is in an emergency right now, we must rush to the rescue as soon as possible, please restrain the two generals and the people, before tomorrow, we must rush to the Yique Pass!" Chen Mo took a group of soldiers and looked at Hua Xiong and Hu Zhendao.
"It should be." Hua Xiong nodded, his relationship with Chen Mo is not good, but it is not too bad, this time the Taishi naturally takes Chen Mo as the main general, and as long as Chen Mo's order is not too outrageous, he will not object.
Hu Zhen just nodded, and then led the troops to leave, Chen Mo had made him lose face before, so naturally he would not have a good face with Chen Mo at this time.
"This person is so rude!" Dian Wei frowned and looked in the direction Hu Zhen left, his face showing anger.
"Let's go, it's important to hurry." Chen Mo shook his head, motioned to Dian Wei Mo to say more, and led his troops and horses with Hua Xiong to Yique Pass.
Yique Pass, after two days of fighting, Yuan Shu's offensive is quite fierce, and there are elite soldiers and strong generals under his hands, two days down, the defenders of Yique Pass have been somewhat insufficient, and if it goes on like this, it will be consumed by Yuan Shu.
Hearing that reinforcements were coming, they immediately greeted them in person.
"The last general, Yique Guan, guards Yang Ding, see General Chen!" Yang Ding naturally recognized Chen Mo, Chen Mo had gone around Yingchuan before, and he had passed through him.
"General Yang doesn't have to be polite!" Chen Mo took Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen into the city, looked at the city full of wounded, glanced at it and said, "General Hu, send some people to the city immediately to replace the soldiers guarding the city, and let these soldiers have a good rest." ”
"General, the soldiers of the last general have also driven all the way, and they are already sleepy and tired, the general is so kind, why not let the general's subordinates go to the city to defeat the enemy?" Hu Zhen replied nonchalantly.
"You dare to disobey military orders!?" Dian Wei had long seen that this Hu Zhen was not pleasing to the eye, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and the two iron halberds had already fallen into his hands.
"Boom~" A group of guards behind Hu Zhen suddenly stepped forward and protected Hu Zhen's side.
Hua Xiong also stopped in front of everyone and said to Chen Mo: "General, don't be angry. ”
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Han Kai!" ”
"The last general!" Han Kai stepped forward and bowed.
"Lead your men to the city immediately, take over the defense of the city defenders, let the city defenders rest, and find all the doctors they can find to treat the wounded soldiers!" Chen Mo glanced at Hu Zhen and said to Han Kai.
"The last general commands!" Han Kai agreed, glared at Hu Zhen, and strode away.
"General Yang will arrange the injury and see me later!" Chen Mo looked at Yang Dingdao.
Yang Ding agreed, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, how could there seem to be contradictions within the reinforcements of this great enemy?
Chen Mo arranged for the people to rest, and after assigning the place where everyone was stationed, he took Dian Wei and the others to the conference hall.
Along the way, Dian Wei complained dissatisfiedly: "Lord, why didn't you let me behead that Hu Zhen just now, this person is clearly disobeying military orders." ”
"Except for our more than 3,000 horses here, almost all of them are the Xiliang Army, you said that you killed Hu Zhen just now, will these Xiliang Army listen to me?" Chen Mo shook his head and said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, as for Hu Zhen, there is a chance to clean up, but it is definitely not now!" ”
"But I'm angry when I see him!" Dian Wei said sullenly.
"Me too, don't talk about this, let's go to the discussion first, and see how this battle should be fought?" Chen Mo nodded as he walked.
Since he left the city, this Hu Zhen has been fighting against himself, Chen Mo is not very eye-catching for this kind of person, but the other party has a lot of troops in his hands.
When Chen Mo took Dian Wei to the conference hall, Yang Ding and Hua Xiong were already there, and Hu Zhen lazily sat in the position where Chen Mo should have been, and when he saw Chen Mo coming, he didn't speak.
Kicking your nose in the face?
Chen Mo walked straight to Hu Zhen's side, Hu Zhen frowned and looked at Chen Mo, but Chen Mo didn't say a word and kicked him away.
"Chen Mo, you ......"
"How?" Dian Wei took a step forward and looked down at Hu Zhen.
"General Hu, I am the chief general of this army, and you are also a veteran, don't always do these self-inflicted humiliating things." Chen Mo sat on the main seat with a golden sword, didn't look at Hu Zhen, and looked at Yang Dingdao on the side: "General Yang, tell me about the battle in the past few days, how many soldiers and horses does Yuan Shu have, and with the strength of Yique Pass, he asked for help so quickly?" ”
"General Hui, Yuan Shu's offensive this time is quite fierce." Yang Ding said with a wry smile: "All kinds of siege equipment are complete, and people are sent to shoot arrows on the mountains on both sides of the city, which is really difficult to resist, and there are many fierce generals under his command, who are not afraid of death, and one of them is even braver, and has climbed the city wall several times and killed many soldiers of our army!" ”
