History: In the early three years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo built a dock in Yi, high and thick seven zhang, and Chang'an City, called "Long Live Dock", known as "Yiwu". Treasures are gathered in the dock, and the valley is stored for 30 years. Ziyun: "If it is done, it will dominate the world; No, keeping this is enough to get old. “

The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has such a record: 250,000 servants built it: its city is as thick as Chang'an, with a palace room inside, and a warehouse that has stored grain for 20 years; Among them, there are 800 young beauties among the people, and there are countless gold and jade, colored silks, and pearls; The family members live in the house......

It can be seen that whether it is the record of historical books or the rendering of literary scholars, it shows that Hewu is tall, majestic and indestructible.

When Xu Chu and Dian Wei led 10,000 Tiger Guards to arrive at Yiwu, they found that it was difficult to besiege Yiwu, and this difficulty was in Yixian, which was less than five miles west of Yiwu.

There are not many defenders in Yiwu, only 5,000 people, but these 5,000 people are one of the most elite troops of the Xiliang Army, and their combat power is only below Dong Zhuo's personal guard, the Flying Bear Army! It is none other than Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, the so-called brothers work together, their strength is broken, Dong Min, who is Dong Zhuo's own brother, has done a lot of bad things over the years, not to mention that he also has a heinous brother, once Dong Zhuo fails, the family will be implicated, and the entire Dong family will face annihilation, so not only for Dong Zhuo, even if it is for himself, for his five children and more than ten wives and concubines, he will desperately want to protect Hewu! It is not easy for Xu Chu and Dian Wei to conquer Yunwu, although their task this time is to feint and attract Dong Zhuo to help, but sooner or later they will have to conquer Yunwu, right? Compared with Yiwu, there are fewer defenders in Yixian County, after Yang Feng took one to Wugong, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the city, and the combat power was far inferior to the Yiwu garrison, and the main general was Qin Tong, the general of Xiliangxiao.

The total strength of the garrisons in the two places is not as good as that of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, but in combat operations, the number of the two armies is not compared in this way, and as the attacking side, it is often necessary to invest more than three times the number of troops to win, which is still on the basis that the defending side has no foreign aid. Although the distance between Yiwu and Yixian is only five miles, but after all, it is two cities, and it is reluctant to besiege one with the strength of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and it can even be said that there are many loopholes, once a city outside the siege sends troops to help, with the defenders on both sides, even if the elite is like a tiger guard, it may not be able to stabilize the position, fortunately Xu Chu, Dian Wei and reinforcements!

Xu Chu and Dian Wei totaled, decided to divide the troops into two routes, Dian Wei led 3,000 troops to be stationed between Yiwu and Yixian, and the other 6,000 people were commanded by Xu Chu, divided into three, respectively, in the east, west, and north of Yiwu to set up camps, barely forming a solid encirclement, they were not afraid that Dong Min would break through, the Dong family members were mostly in the dock, and the army was not afraid to stand out, but these family members could not give up? What's more, most of the treasures obtained by Dong Zhuo's looting are placed in the dock, and the number of these dead things is huge, and it is even more impossible to take them away safely, is it cheap Liu Zhang? Don't say that Dong Zhuo doesn't agree, even Dong Min can't agree, after all, there are a lot of things with his name written on them!

Dong Min found that Xu Chu and Dian Wei's army surrounded Yiwu, and there was no panic, the construction of Yiwu completely imitated Chang'an City, there are three walls of the outer city, the inner city, and the palace city, the city wall is lined with arrow towers, the number of bed crossbows and trebuchets is incalculable, the treasury is full of all kinds of equipment, food, and there are even nearly 1,000 craftsmen in the city, who can produce any weapon, Dong Min believes that he can block ten times the enemy for more than a year with only 5,000 people in the dock, and the enemy army is not more than 10,000 people at present, and he didn't take it to heart. However, he still took advantage of the night to hang two soldiers from the city wall and inform Dong Zhuo of the situation here.

Two days later, Li Dian and Yonghong led their armies to converge.

The four of them gathered around to discuss, feeling that whether it was Dong Min of Yiwu or Qin Tong of Yixian County, it seemed that they were ignoring their existence, which made the faces of these proud soldiers very dull, and seeing the defenders of the two places walking peacefully, as usual, the four of them were secretly annoyed in their hearts, how to achieve the goal of attracting Dong Zhuo to come to help?

"We must fight a fierce battle, extinguish the enemy's arrogance, and beat them to pain, so that they will ask Dong Zhuo for help, so as to reduce the pressure on the lord!" Li Dian patted the case.

Xu Chu nodded and said, "I agree, I must teach the other party a lesson!" ”

Yonghong is the commander of the only division-level unit formed by the barbarians, and this division is also one of the three masters of the Yizhou Army (the other two are the Tiger Guard Division and the Chengdu Division, these two divisions are Liu Zhang's army, the status is respected, and the fifteenth division can be placed alongside them, which shows Liu Zhang's trust in the barbarians), in order to be a good division commander and give the barbarians a long face, he has read many military books over the years, but the actual combat experience is still lacking, after listening to Li Dian and Xu Chu's words, he said: "General Wei means to attract Dong Zhuo back to help Yiwu, Therefore, I thought it would be better to choose Yixian for this battle, the defenders of Yixian County were only 3,000 people, and with the strength of our army, it could be said that it was easy to conquer. The capture of Yixian County can not only achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, but also break the horns of the two places, which is conducive to our army's future operations! ”

Xu Chu looked at Li Dian and Dian Wei, and saw that both of them nodded, so he said: "Okay, it's decided, tomorrow the army will attack Yixian!" The combat deployment is like this, Man Cheng led his troops to besiege Yiwu, if Dong Min comes to help, be sure to annihilate the enemy or drive back to the dock, the fifteenth division of the commander of Yong and the Huwei division will attack Yixian together, in order to overcome it in one fell swoop, do you have any other opinions? ”

The three shook their heads.

"That's it, let's disperse, tell the brothers to have a good rest, tomorrow at sunrise will be the time to attack Yixian!"

"Yes!"

When Xu Chu and others agreed to attack Yixian, Dong Zhuo received a letter from Dong Min. Although Dong Min's letter was lightly worded, Dong Zhuo was still very shocked, his belongings were all in the Wuwu, if he was conquered by Liu Zhang, then half of his life savings would be all over, how could he sit idly by! Dong Min said in his letter that the enemy was no more than 10,000 people, but Dong Zhuo didn't think so, Wei Yan had 100,000 people in his hands, and these 10,000 people must be just his vanguard, and there must be a large army behind him!

Dong Zhuo immediately summoned Li Ru to discuss.

Li Ru agreed with Dong Zhuo's judgment, he thought that Wei Yan, as the Four Heavenly Kings of Yizhou (some people rumored that the four major field legions of the Yizhou Army were the Four Heavenly Kings of the Yizhou Army), had good knowledge, and must know the importance and solidity of Yiwu, since he knew this, how could he only hope for 10,000 troops without siege equipment?

Li Ru knew the status of Yiwu in Dong Zhuo's heart, to be honest, he was willing to Wei Yan take Yiwu in one fell swoop and cut off Dong Zhuo's thoughts, otherwise, as long as Hewu was still in his hands, Dong Zhuo would do whatever it took to send troops to rescue, he knew very well that no one could change Dong Zhuo's decision in this matter, even if Dong Zhuo trusted him the most! He persuaded Dong Zhuo to personally recruit martial arts, in addition to showing his determination, he also had two thoughts, one is that once Wei Yan does not return to help, he will defeat Liu Zhang in one fell swoop, and then free up his hands to solve Wei Yan, and the other is that once Wei Yan returns to help, Liangzhou will try his best to avoid the war, consume Liu Zhang's army food and grass, and make him retreat after his food is exhausted. Wei Yan sent troops to Yiwu, he only hoped that Wei Yan wanted to conquer Yiwu and Yixian after learning that Liu Zhang's situation was critical, open up the connection with Liu Zhang, and then raise troops to help! If not, then there is only another possibility, Wei Yan or Liu Zhang completely saw his plan in his eyes, and feinted to attack Yiwu with a trick to surround Wei and save Zhao, so that all his plans were in vain, because Yiwu is the place where Dong Zhuo must be saved! If you want to understand what Wei Yan's move means, you can make a judgment on the movement of Wei Yan's army within three or five days, if Wei Yan waves his army to attack, it is the first possibility, if he only attacks Yixian, and adopts the tactics of besieging but not attacking Yiwu, or attacking but not taking, then it is the latter possibility, and this latter possibility is likely to bring the entire Xiliang Group into boundless darkness!

Li Ru knows that he can't pray for God's mercy and let things develop in the direction he wants, only by taking the initiative can he make things develop in the direction he wants! Therefore, he did not sit back and wait for the development of things, and decided that he must take the initiative and guide the situation in a direction favorable to his side, so he strongly advised Dong Zhuo to immediately send troops to martial arts, as long as Liu Zhang was defeated before the situation in Yiwu was critical, the victory still belonged to the Xiliang army, if Liu Zhang could not be defeated before the emergency in Yiwu, it would be too late!

Although Hewu encountered the enemy, there was no danger for the time being, Dong Zhuoshang was able to listen to Li Ru's advice, so regardless of the fact that the change of troops had not yet been completed, he personally led an army of 60,000 to march to the Wu army, and as for the remaining 20,000 people, he stepped up the exchange, and then went to Wugong as fast as possible.
