Chapter 62: Yuan Dong Confrontation

"One, two, one, two......"

Gongsun Zhan's barracks sounded the sound of soldier training early in the morning, Liu Bei is now serving as the Sima of other departments, usually nothing to do, is responsible for the management and training of his army, watching Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two brothers busy there, Liu Deran and Jian Yong went to escort the grain and grass that the troops usually need, and now they are left alone, anyway, they are idle and idle, they are okay in their own camps, and it is good to go out and go around.

Originally, according to emotion, if you have nothing to do, it is okay to go to Gongsun Chan to sit there, but now that he is a subordinate of someone else, what does it look like for a subordinate to run into the commander's tent if he has nothing to do. Moreover, since arguing with Gongsun Chan last time, Gongsun Chan has deliberately distanced himself from himself, and Liu Bei, who is very sensitive to human nature, has naturally noticed it. I still blamed myself for being too reckless, so I shouldn't have pierced Gongsun Zhan's fig leaf in front of him, but fortunately, no one else was present at the time, if there were really many people, it is estimated that I would have been in a different place long ago.

After walking through a camp tent and a camp tent, now Gongsun Chan has more than 10,000 troops, in order to facilitate management, he divided these armies into categories, just like the military camps that Liu Bei walked through at this time, there are cavalry battalions, infantry battalions, cavalry and cavalry, cavalry and archers, lancers, sword cavalry, etc., according to the equipment worn, it is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry; For the infantry, there are archers, spear infantry, sword infantry, and at the same time, according to the equipment, it is divided into heavy infantry and light infantry, and so on.

According to the above classified management, the large module of more than 10,000 people can be refined into hundreds of modules, for each module, it is equipped with generals who are good at the management and training of the module, so as to improve the efficiency of management and training, and then in order to adapt to the war, these troops will be gathered together in peacetime, and a commander will carry out collective training, and the tacit understanding between the various military camps will be run-in, so large, and the method of integration can achieve the final training effect.

These have seen too much, and they are numb, Liu Bei is still walking aimlessly, with his hands crossed behind him, looking left and right, the army is now just training, there is no specific combat action at present, suddenly I saw some bright lights in front of me, Liu Bei squinted, put his right hand on his forehead, set up a tent, and took a closer look, it turned out that there was a team of cavalry in front, the number was not much, about a hundred people, but each was full of energy, the leader was a young man with a silver spear, this person was eight feet long, thick eyebrows and big eyes, With a broad face, Liu Bei looked at him carefully, thinking that this guy was majestic, handsome, heroic, and had many similarities with Yun Chang.

Seeing him dismount, he strode with his head held high, ready to walk to the barracks, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward, caught up and said, "This general, please stay!" ”

When the young man heard someone shouting at him, he stopped, turned to look at Liu Bei suspiciously.

Liu Bei approached and said: "In Xiazhuo County, Liu Bei, the word Xuande, is now Sima of the other department, I just saw that the cavalry led by you is full of energy and majestic, I don't know how you trained them into Ruci, Liu Bei wants to ask you for advice." ”

I saw the young man smile and said: "General Liu doesn't need to be polite, in Xia Changshan Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, I am not a general, but the commander of a cavalry team...... As for how you have to train the army, in fact, this is all my fellow villagers and elders, and now there is a big chaos, Zhao Yun is not talented, and he was elected by the people, so he led the righteous soldiers of the county to defect to General Gongsun, these brothers are all capable people in the county, so they are like this, and it is not the credit of my training. ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhao Yun was young, and he already knew how to be humble, which was really rare, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him in his heart, and said at this time: "Zilong is so humble, Liu Bei admires, I don't know if Zilong has time, Liu Bei wants to invite you to my military camp." ”

Zhao Yun saw that Liu Bei invited him as soon as they met, thinking that this person was too abrupt, and at this time he didn't know what Liu Bei really thought in his heart, so he said: "Thank you General Liu for the invitation, Zhao Yun will definitely come to visit when he has time." ”

Liu Bei saw him refuse, and he had to blame himself for being too anxious, this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take your time to get closer to each other, step by step, stop when you can do it, don't be a drag oil bottle, so he said: "It's okay, that Zilong, you can be busy first, let's see you another day, Liu Bei will leave here first." ”

"Well, farewell!" Zhao Yunwan led people into the barracks.

Liu Bei stood in place and looked at Zhao Yun's departing figure, there was an inexplicable excitement and impulse in his heart, this feeling was so similar to when he saw Yun Changyide and them, if he could, he wanted to pull Zhao Yun over, after thinking for a moment, Liu Bei turned around and left.

"General, you're back." Liu Deran and Jian Yong had already returned from escorting the grain, and when they saw Liu Bei coming back, they stepped forward to report their work.

Since Liu Deran was put in charge of the logistics of grain and grass, he found that he has been doing a good job, grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, Sun Tzu said, soldiers and horses do not move grain and grass first, this lifeline can only be relieved if it is handed over to the people closest to him.

"General, I just got the news that Dong Zhuo has been cruel and unkind since he took control of the central power, and the scholar class was dissatisfied with what he had done, so the later generals Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei State Prime Minister Bao Xin and Fenwu General Cao Cao, they jointly promoted Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and at the same time raised troops to recruit Dong Zhuo." Jian Yong learned the news on the way to escort the military rations, and immediately said to Liu Bei when he came back.

"Oh? They've finally gotten their hands dirty, and how is it going now? Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"At the beginning of the battle, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang sent Han Hao to lead the troops and horses to garrison Mengjin, and sent Taishan soldiers to Heyangjin to garrison. However, due to Dong Zhuo's bluff, Wang Kuangjun mistakenly believed that the enemy would cross the river from Pingyin County and held the river bank. As a result, Dong Zhuo was able to cross the river through Pingjin with elite troops to attack his rear, and finally Wang Kuang's army was almost completely wiped out. ”

"Dong Zhuo does have a set of battles, and losing the first battle will affect the morale of the army."

There was also an army led by Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, and was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong in Liangdi, but later he regathered his scattered subordinates and prepared to crusade against Dong Zhuo again. Dong Zhuo saw that the situation was not good, and sent his general Li Dao to Sun Jian to ask for peace, but Sun Jian ignored him. ”

"I can't imagine that there will be people like Sun Jian in this world."

"Now Dong Zhuo has become the target of public criticism, he was afraid of the momentum of the allies, and was forced to have no way out, so he decided to move the capital."

"What, move the capital?"

"Yes, and in order to prevent officials and people from escaping back to their hometown Luoyang, Dong Zhuo burned down the entire Luoyang City and a large number of buildings such as palaces, temples, and treasury within two hundred miles nearby, and Luoyang City, which was prosperous in the past, became a ruin in an instant."

"It's a sin, Dong Thief's move, the gods and men are indignant...... So have the Allies been chasing the Dong thief now? ”

"Now Yuan Shao is stationed in Hanoi, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, and Yuan Yu are stationed in Sujuo, Yuan Shu is stationed in Nanyang, Kong Ling is stationed in Yingchuan, and Han Fu is stationed in Yecheng, the specific situation is not yet known."

At this time, Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said, "The situation may not be as good as we imagined. ”

"Why is the general still like this?"

"Let's go inside!" Liu Bei walked into the tent, and Jian Yong followed behind.

"Find a seat!"

"General Xie!" Jian Yong sat down.

"Do you know why Sun Jian was originally defeated by Xu Rong, and then easily defeated Hu Zhen and Lu Bu's troops?"

"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom?"

"That's not the case, Hu Zhen and Lu Bu were not defeated by Sun Jian, according to my estimation, they were defeated by themselves."

"Oh? How so? ”

Dong Zhuo used LΓΌ Bu to induce the killing of Ding Yuan, thus annexing the state army. Although Dong Zhuo trusts Lu Bu very much, "swears to be father and son"; However, the contradictions between the military forces of the two countries have always been very conspicuous, and they have even been in a state of hostility. Why? The reason should be relatively simple, that is, the annexation of the state army by Dong Zhuo will not be completely willing, and it will inevitably be in a suppressed position. The Liangzhou Army, on the other hand, regarded itself as the victor and did not take the Merge State Army in its eyes, even for Lu Bu. ”

"You are Sun Jian's victory, it's a fluke."

"That's not true, there is still merit, as far as I know, Hu Zhen is a native of Liangzhou, anxious, and has a very prestigious reputation in the Liangzhou army, this battle, Hu Zhen is the governor, and Lu Bu is the captain of the cavalry, Hu Zhen's status is naturally above Lu Bu, the two hostile forces are together, this fire is a little bit, maybe Hu Zhen has done something or done something, which has caused the two factions to change drastically, which makes Sun Jian have a chance to take advantage of it."

"I see."

"From this point, it can be seen that Dong Zhuo has not yet handled the relationship between Liang and Liang well, and the internal contradictions are still very intense, maybe this is also a way to defeat Dong Zhuo."

"Haha, the general is indeed very sensitive to politics, and he admires it when he sees it...... But since Dong Zhuo is already in domestic and foreign difficulties at this time, why is the general not optimistic? ”

"The problem is here, Dong Zhuo is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, is it true that the allies are united?"

"The general is worried about this?"

"Yes, Dong Zhuo has experienced what happened to Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, maybe he will realize this problem and correct it, but what about the allies? It does not have a strict management system, and the composition is very loose, if it is united, then Dong Zhuo will be destroyed, if each has a ghost, then the alliance will not collapse, I hope they will fight for it. ”
