Chapter 79: The Abnormality of the Imperial Court (Four Watches)
Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Abnormality of the Imperial Court
"Oh! If it's okay, then don't get in the way, after all, good dogs don't do that. ”
Xu Ding spit lightly.
"You're ......!"
Li Dao was so angry that he was half dead, and Xu Ding actually scolded him for being a dog.
He immediately wanted to draw his sword, but Dian Wei, who was behind Xu Ding, stood forward with his halberd in both hands, and Zhang Fei also stared at him.
Li Dao swallowed all the words in his mouth.
Can't beat it! Can't beat it!
"Let's go!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and left with someone.
Dong Zhuo left, Xu Ding walked into the military tent, and Huangfu Song's face was solemn inside, and when he saw Xu Ding and others coming in, he was a little better.
"Berkang is here."
Xu Ding found a place to sit down and said: "General, I've heard about everything, but I don't know why Dong Zhuo was suddenly transferred to attack Quyang, doesn't the imperial court know that there are not many troops on the side of Guangzong City, and other support is needed?" ”
Huangfu Song sighed and said: "How can the imperial court not know, it's just that those damned eunuchs accepted Dong Zhuo's benefits, and said to His Majesty that instead of being unable to attack Guangzong for a long time, it is better to cut off Zhang Jiao's wings first, and let me lead the army to drag Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, so that he cannot divide his troops to the north."
Then let Dong Zhuo wait for the opportunity to attack Quyang, kill Zhang Bao, and then join the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and Benzhou to go south to destroy Guangzong. ”
Well, such a proposal looks pretty good, it's strategic, and it looks like it's easy to implement.
Correct! This is not the case, as long as Zhang Jiao does not die, no one can defeat Xiaquyang, because Xiaquyang also has an army of about 100,000 Yellow Turbans, and there is more abundant grain and grass there, and the garrison is perfect.
Dividing troops to attack has become a tactic of adding fuel, and it is easy to be broken by the Yellow Turban Army, which is a taboo for soldiers.
"The most important thing is that the princes of the imperial court also agreed to this plan." If it was just the eunuch who made trouble, Huangfu Song would not be very angry, but he was so angry that even the three princes and the ministers of Jiuqing were confused together.
The minister and the eunuch are a pair of enemies, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Incident, which burned the entire Han Dynasty at once, it is estimated that the two waves of people are still pinching each other, and they can't kill each other.
It's a bit strange that they're all standing together now.
Xu Ding asked: "Does the general know who else in the imperial court agrees to this plan?" ”
Huangfu Song thought for a while and said: "The third prince has a captain, and the nine princes have a ......."
Captain!
Yuan Kui!
It's this guy again!
What does the Yuan family want to do?
Xu Ding didn't expect Yuan Kui to intervene in this guy, which is a bit different from history.
Are butterfly wings starting to make an impact?
Or did the Yuan family have dominated this matter in the first place?
"Humph! These blind dog things. Zhang Fei scolded angrily.
Cao Cao and Huangfu Song frowned, but they didn't hear it for Xu Ding's sake.
Xu Ding came back to his senses and said busily: "Yide can't talk nonsense, although the princes of the court are at fault, but now it is not for us to manage, what we have to do now is how to deal with what will happen next." ”
Cao Cao said: "What Bo Kang said is, we can't control the affairs of Luoyang, but how to deal with Zhang Jiao in front of us is a headache, now that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry is gone, we have lost a part of the soldiers and horses that contain Zhang Jiao's elite Yellow Turban Warriors, once Zhang Jiao finds out that Dong Zhuo is leaving, he will not take the initiative to attack our army out of the city, so that our army will fall into passivity." ”
Dong Zhuo is gone, and there are a lot fewer soldiers and horses besieging Guangzong, as long as the Yellow Turban Army goes to war, it will inevitably find clues.
Once the Yellow Turban Army finds that the forces besieging Guangzong have been reduced too much, they may do their best to counterattack the Han army, directly launch a fierce attack on the Han army, and defeat the Han army in one fell swoop, so as to turn the tide of the battle and gain an advantage.
So that's exactly what Huangfu Song was worried about.
If he has enough troops, he won't be able to call Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses at all.
So Huangfu Song looked at Xu Ding expectantly.
Cao Cao also looked at Xu Ding expectantly.
Xu Ding half-jokingly said: "Since Dong Zhuo is gone, then I can only pull my Donglai soldiers into the field, otherwise General Yizhen will definitely deduct my military rations." ”
"Hahaha, just wait for your words, without your Donglai soldiers, the soldiers below can't stop the elite of Zhang Jiao." When Huangfu Song heard that Xu Ding was willing to fight, his face finally showed joy.
Xu Ding's horse is out, and the certainty of breaking Guangzong is much greater.
"The general is overrated, my Donglai soldiers are not as good as I imagined, in case I find that I can't withstand the elite of the Yellow Turban, I will retreat." Xu Ding said half-truthfully.
Huangfu Song blew his beard a little when he heard this: "You dare!" ”
"Okay, Xu Ding doesn't dare, he must withstand Zhang Jiao's elite and never let the Yellow Turban elite advance half a step." Xu Ding continued: "But General, in fact, we don't have to fight hard with the Yellow Turban tomorrow, there is a way to solve the current predicament, and we can also confuse Zhang Jiao." ”
"Hmmm! is to have this kind of momentum, this is the Xu Bokang I know, haha, I know that Bokang has a good way, quickly tell me your strategy. Huangfu Song laughed, a little impatient.
And Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao was also smiling, and his pale face with a bitter color in the original gloom showed a hint of smile.
"Big brother, I heard that you are looking for us."
Soon Zhang Liang came in with Ma, Yuan, Yi and others.
Zhang Jiao saw everyone coming in, closed his eyes slightly, and pointed to the letter on the desk with his right hand: "The Han army has divided its troops to the north. ”
"What? The Han army has divided its troops? ”
Zhang Liang, Ma, Yuan, Yi and others were all surprised.
The Han army actually divided its troops at this time, what is the situation?
"General, is this news confirmed?" Ma, Yuan, and Yi asked.
Zhang Jiaoweimi's eyes opened, and he sneered: "Judging from the letter, someone from the Han army deliberately revealed it to us, as for the truth or falsehood, we will be able to wipe out the truth of the Han army when we go out of the city tomorrow to fight with the Han army." ”
Zhang Liang also said: "Big brother, could this be a trap for the Han army." ”
Han Jun took the initiative to reveal such important news, and the picture must be not small.
According to conventional thinking, there must be articles in this.
Zhang Jiao also thought about this question and asked rhetorically: "Think about it, if this is a trap of the Han army, what are they trying to do?" ”
Ma, Yuan, and Yi thought for a while and said: "General, if this is the news deliberately revealed by the Han army, then it must be to lure our army out of the city for a decisive battle, then the Han army's determination at the time of the battle will not be so resolute, but it will be defeated, lead our army to pursue, and then use the ambushed Xiliang cavalry to cut off the rear road of our army." ”
Zhang Liang was thoughtful, Zhang Jiao nodded slightly, Ma, Yuan, and Yi's analysis was not unreasonable.
In the past seven or eight days of fighting, there was no result on both sides, it was half a catty against eight taels, and the Han army wanted to win quickly, but only by surprise.
This is a good way to lure the enemy.
"General! Someone shot another arrow into the city. Soon a henchman with horns came in with an arrow tied with brocade silk.
