Chapter 223: Dong Zhuo divides his troops

At the head of Yiwu City, the deputy general looked at the blurred scene in the distance and said, "General, the Yizhou army is attacking Yixian, and the defenders of Yixian are insufficient, should we go to support General Qin?" ”

Dong Minnai, the defender of Yiwu, is a compatriot with Dong Zhuo's mother, and their faces are similar, but when it comes to weight, Dong Zhuo's body is enough to be worth two Dong Min! Dong Min looked at the thousands of cavalry under the city and said, "How to support?" Look below, people are looking forward to our support! ”

"But in case Yixian loses and loses the checks and balances, it seems too difficult for Yiwu to block the Yizhou army alone!"

"You know what? Going out will only die faster! Anyway, there are also 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yi County, I hope Qin Tong can hold on a few more times! Dong Min scolded, and when he was young, he said very confidently: "Even if Yixian is lost, only the benefits of my Yiwu city defense, the abundance of materials, and the courage of the soldiers can make the enemy stop and make it difficult to stop!" ”

"Yes, the general is really far-sighted!" The adjutant general praised it, he knew that Dong Min and Dong Zhuo were the same as Shun donkeys, if he continued to persuade him, he might be cut down by the moody Dong Min, and Dong Min's concerns were not wrong, the number of enemy cavalry outside the city was even higher than the total number of defenders in Yiwu, once the defenders opened the city and entered the battlefield of cavalry, the result would ......

When the tiger and wolf-like tiger guards rushed into the city of Yixian, the battle was actually no longer suspenseful, the leaderless defenders threw down their weapons one after another, and the street battle was almost a competition to capture prisoners, and the rather tasteless Dian Wei spat and scolded the Xiliang army for being a group of soft eggs, handed over the matter of capturing prisoners to others, and dozed off at the door of a small shop on the street. Xu Chu, who came later, saw this scene, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, and called out in Dian Wei's ear, "What a fragrant Wuliangye......"

I saw Dian Wei jump up with a "Teng", and said again and again: "Where, where ......"

"Haha......" Xu Chu couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Dian Wei knew that he was deceived, and said angrily: "Okay, you old idiot, you dare to lie to me!" ”

"Lied to you, I still want to sue you in front of the lord, tell me, what are you doing? The battle isn't over, you're so good, you're looking for a place to be lazy! ”

"Alas, this group of Xiliang soldiers are all bears and soft eggs, and they don't even have the courage to fight hard, you see, they are all busy catching prisoners, what's the use of me going? Out of sight and out of mind, maybe I've seen too many of such soft eggs, and I can't hold back for a while, I'm accused of killing prisoners, wouldn't it be wronged, so it's better to sleep and not make mistakes, haha! ”

"Can't make mistakes? You have made mistakes, the lord often warns the battlefield to guard against arrogance and rashness, not to underestimate the enemy, I think you are forgetting the lessons of the lord to the back of your mind, it seems that I need to tell the lord, and after this battle, let you go to Shu to learn to learn! ”

"Huh? Idiot, you wouldn't do that to us, would you? You see, we defeated a city defended by 3,000 men with 1,000 men, which is a great achievement, right? It's a big deal, I don't want to reward it, how about offsetting the merits? ”

"Merit is merit, fault is fault, you should know that the lord has always had clear rewards and punishments!"

Dian Wei glanced at Xu Chu angrily, and said, "Come on, don't give me this set, I still have a few jars of good wine at home, it's cheaper for you......"

"Haha, you said it earlier, you continue to sleep, I'll do it for you!" Xu Chu smiled and led everyone away.

Dian Wei sighed "carelessly", and then fell asleep against the store again.

In less than an hour, Yixian County completely fell into the hands of the Yizhou army, and Xu Chu immediately asked people to clean up the battlefield, issue a notice to reassure the people, and arrest the culprits of Xiliang......

"What?" Dong Min held a letter shot up by the Yizhou army under the city, and couldn't believe his eyes and exclaimed: "How is it possible, Yixian County has 3,000 of my Xiliang elite soldiers, and it was broken by the enemy in half a day?" This can't be, it must be the enemy's trick! "If this is true, then how strong is the combat power of the Yizhou Army? Does that mean that Hewu is also in danger? Although the walls of Hewu are strong and sharp, its huge scale and limited strength are disproportionate, and if the enemy attacks from all sides, it will inevitably take advantage of one and lose the other......

"General, I'm afraid it's true, if this is a lie, isn't it too easy to be exposed? From the villain's point of view, let's ask Xiangye for help quickly! The adjutant said.

Dong Min was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll go and write a book......

However, in the direction of martial arts, since the failure of the last attack, Li Dao immediately woke up, relying on his limited infantry is impossible to capture the enemy camp in a short period of time, so after capturing the Weishui camp and cutting off the connection between Liu Zhang and the rear, he arranged a large number of cavalry along the Weishui coast, and left 3,000 soldiers and horses in the original Li Le camp and later Li Yan's camp, and then returned to the division of martial arts, and began to adopt a strategy of encirclement of Liu Zhang. Of course, before returning to the martial arts, a letter of great victory was sent to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo, who had just left Chang'an, received the good news from Li Dao, and finally felt a little relieved by the performance of this love general, people in this era are more superstitious, and all he received was bad news before, but as soon as he was pro-enlisted, his ass just left Chang'an, and he received good news, what does this mean? Isn't that what a victory is? There are even more sycophants who far-fetched to say, "The true dragon and the son of heaven are all blessed by a hundred spirits, and now the prime minister is out of Chang'an, and it is convenient to pass on the sound before, isn't it just in response to the deep blessing of the prime minister, with the blessing of a hundred spirits, is it the person chosen by God to represent the Han?" Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard it, he had the intention of being the emperor, but he had been lacking the opportunity, after listening to these sycophants, he also felt that things seemed to be like this, and he thought to himself if he would be the emperor in Yiwu after defeating Liu Zhang? Why not in Chang'an? What else does Chang'an look like the capital of a country now? Perhaps there is one point, that is, Chang'an's area is above the dock, after all, Chang'an has been operated by the Han dynasty for hundreds of years to have today's scale, and the dock has only been built for a few years. After rewarding these sycophants, Dong Zhuo was a little happy to go to the martial arts, before he felt that the prospect was a little bleak, and he could not do it in person, but now he felt that he would win the final victory, and take advantage of this victory to be ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the mood before and after was naturally very different.

It took two days of hard work for Dong Zhuo's army to arrive at Wugong from Chang'an, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others who got the news met Dong Zhuo ten miles east of Wugong City.

Dong Zhuo, who was in a good mood, praised Li Dao for his annihilation of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and his efforts in pacifying Xiliang, and rewarded Li Dao and others for taking Liu Zhang's Weishui camp in a few days.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, who had been worried for several days, finally put their minds at ease and escorted Dong Zhuohao into the camp.

Knowing that Dong Zhuo was coming, Li Dao built a huge, gorgeous tent for Dong Zhuo early, the tent was set up noble, most of them were the Ma family's things confiscated after defeating Ma Teng, the Ma family has been operating in the northwest for several generations since Ma Yuan, the family is well-off, and in the event of defeat, the family property is cheaper Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they are not sure whether Dong Zhuo is happy or angry, so they have to give most of the boutique "filial piety" to Dong Zhuo with blood in their hearts.

Dong Zhuo looked at the palatial tent and nodded again and again, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with the performance of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

After carefully appreciating the furnishings in the tent, Dong Zhuo was promoted to the account.

Li Dao reported the current situation, Dong Zhuo asked about the news of Yiwu again, Li Dao couldn't even take care of the matter of martial arts, where did he still care about Shangyiwu, squeaky and unclear, Dong Zhuo's face immediately turned gloomy, it was not another place, it was Yiwu, it was Hewu who he would rather lose Chang'an than lose! And before that, Li Wei, who was in charge of the entire front, didn't know the situation in Yiwu......

Li Wei knew that Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied, and hurriedly wailed: "Xiangye, there is a second master in Yiwu, and you also know the temper of the second master, the villain really doesn't dare to ask more!" Please forgive me......"

Dong Zhuo first raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he was about to shoot the case, and suddenly remembered something, and put down his hand dejectedly, to say that Dong Zhuo is worthy of a generation of traitorous males, with a treacherous personality and decisive killing, but there is also a big shortcoming, that is, there are some cronyism, Dong Min's talent is insufficient, but his temper is very irritable, relying on the brotherhood with Dong Zhuo has always been arrogant and domineering, don't look at his current status is only equivalent to a county order, but in the Xiliang Army, who sees the second master who can't be respectfully called, he is so good to serve, if he is angry, is a general, a county guard, he is also a horse whip and wants to smoke it, no one dares to say a word! Dong Zhuo has always known these things, but he doesn't care about it, the entire northwest belongs to their Dong family, and his brother has a special status, isn't it okay? It was Dong Zhuo's connivance, Dong Min became more and more domineering, and gradually no one dared to ask about his affairs anymore. Right now, Li Dao is using this to shirk, Dong Zhuo really doesn't know what to do, after all, Dong Min's privilege is recognized by you Dong Zhuo. Of course, Dong Zhuo can also directly punish Li Zhuo for a crime of dereliction of duty without asking the reason, after all, Dong Min's privileges Dong Zhuo has never officially recognized, but only acquiesced, but now Dong Zhuo still needs Li Dao, and it is easy to cause instability in the army's morale if he handles it easily, so he has to put this matter aside and say: "Forget it, you immediately order someone to go to Yiwu to find out the situation!" ”

"Yes, Xiangye, I will arrange this ......"

Li Dao immediately ordered someone to send capable personnel to rush to Yiwu.

"Wen You, now that my army is complete, should I immediately fight Liu Zhang'er?"

Li Ru said: "Xiangye, no, a few days ago, naΓ―ve because of the easy attack, suffered a big defeat, the so-called teacher who does not forget the past, if Xiangye rushes out of battle, I am afraid that he will repeat the same childish mistakes!" The army traveled hard, the men and horses were stuck, and the army did not know much about the actual situation of Liu Zhang's army, so it was not appropriate to rush into battle, and please order the prime minister to rest for two days for the time being, and then make plans! ”

Li Dao on the side was furious when he heard Li Ru's words, and secretly said: "Okay, you Li Wenyou, you can persuade you, why do you talk about my defeat?" You said it in front of Xiang Ye, did you want to remind Xiang Ye to cure my sin? Hmph, I remember, you'd better not get caught by me, or ...... Hmph......"

Dong Zhuo said: "When you were in Chang'an, didn't you urge the prime minister to fight a decisive battle quickly? Why did you pause your true appearance when it came to martial arts? ”

"Xiangye, as the so-called work wants to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, our army has been running sleepless for two days, and the energy is seriously insufficient, and it is really harmful to fight at this moment, it is better to let Liu Zhang's army be arrogant for two days, and then familiarize yourself with the battlefield environment, and wait until the soldiers' rest is restored to their peak, and then capture the enemy camp with all their might!"

"Well, Wen You's words are reasonable, just follow Wen You's words!"

Li Ru has just persuaded Dong Zhuo, Li Wei's people have not yet set off, but another bad news came, Yixian was lost, Wei Yan immediately surrounded Yiwu with 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and launched a general attack on Yiwu at any time, Dong Min has armed all the men in the dock to resist the Yizhou army, in order to protect Yiwu, Dong Min asked Dong Zhuo to send reinforcements to relieve the siege.

Hearing that Yiwu was in danger, Dong Zhuo was shocked and angry, he who had always been obedient to Li Ruyan, this time he was unusual, regardless of Li Ru's bitter persuasion, and ordered Xu Rong, a famous general in Xiliang, to lead 50,000 horses to rush to the aid of Yiwu. Before Xu Rong left, he was forced to make a military order, if Yiwu was lost, all 50,000 troops, including him, would be beheaded, and his family members would be official slaves. Yiwu is only dozens of miles away from Wugong, the cavalry can reach it in half a day, and the infantry can reach it in a day at most, no matter how strong the Yizhou army is, it is impossible to break through Yiwu in such a short time, so after sending reinforcements, Dong Zhuo's heart is much more stable. As soon as his heart relaxed, he thought of Qin Tong who lost Yixian, if it weren't for his incompetence, he would have lost Yixian in half a day, how could the situation be so bad? Dong Zhuo, who had nowhere to release his murderous aura, immediately ordered Chang'an to raze the three clans of Qin and Tong to set an example! Fortunately, Yunwu was not lost because of Qin Tong's incompetence, otherwise Dong Zhuo might have killed Qin Tong's Nine Clans! Dong Zhuo also understood that Li Ru's point of view was right, with his current strength, the division of troops was indeed dangerous, and under the subordinate strategy, the slightest mistake would be in jeopardy. The best strategy is to use Yiwu as bait to contain Wei Yan's army, concentrate troops to attack Liu Zhang, and then return to the division to relieve the siege of Yiwu after defeating Liu Zhang. But emotions sway reason, thinking of Yiwu's family and wealth, knowing that it is wrong, Dong Zhuo is willing to make a mistake to the end, and this is the biggest mistake Dong Zhuo has made in his life, if it is said that Jia Xu, Wei Yan and other strategies are brilliant, it is better to say that they accurately grasped Dong Zhuo's mind, and designed a conspiracy for him in a grand manner, but he was willing to do it.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo's mind had been decided, Li Ru couldn't help but feel sad secretly, and couldn't help but sigh when there was no one in the silence: "All the generals in Xiliang will die and have no place to be buried!" ”
