Chapter Eighty-Six: Chitu BMW!
A few are happy, a few are sad!
Compared with the coalition army that drinks wine in large bowls, eats meat in large pieces, and sings and celebrates, the camp of the Xiliang soldiers is gloomy and bleak, the fire that incinerates the corpses of the war dead is constantly burning, and the smell of burnt human flesh wafts far and far away under the blowing of the night wind, which makes people feel sick; The miserable howls of the wounded soldiers made people feel even more desolate in their hearts, and the atmosphere of defeat permeated the entire battalion, and the depressed people couldn't breathe!
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Dong Zhuo, who had taken off his armor, leaned on the handsome seat, his hair was fluffy and messy, his eyes were full of gloomy and unhappy looks, and as for his neck, he was wrapped in a piece of white silk, and there were patches of blood oozing out from time to time, looking so miserable!
On both sides of the big tent, the generals who had suffered defeat during the day were sitting sideways and vertically, their helmets and armor were crooked, as if they had suddenly become beggars, many of them were wrapped in wounded cloths, and there were still some vacant positions in the queue, and it was obvious that the people who had been standing there would never have appeared here if they were not lying in the seriously wounded camp behind them at this time; In the daytime, there were heavy casualties!
Seeing the demoralized appearance of the people in the big tent, Li Ru hurriedly gave Dong Zhuo a look, it is not terrible to fight a defeat, what is terrible is that the military spirit is scattered, if it really comes to that point, I am afraid that without Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers and horses to attack, they will be finished themselves!
"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, you all follow the old man for a long time, who has not suffered defeat on the battlefield! If you lose today, you can win it back tomorrow, it's nothing! Dong Zhuo was a cunning person, how could he not understand the meaning of his henchmen, so he hurriedly sat up straight and began to cheer up his subordinates, "Besides, the old man's tens of thousands of elite soldiers are on the way to Luoyang, as long as the army arrives, how difficult is it to fight the thousands of soldiers in that state!" ”
"That's right! Yes! What the adults said is that as long as Li Dao and General Guo Yan and their tens of thousands of troops arrive, even if people trample on horses, they can also destroy Ding Yuan'er! Dong Zhuo's words immediately stirred up the emotions of these generals, yes, as long as the reinforcements arrived, with the absolute superiority of troops, it would be effortless to defeat Ding Yuan's thousands of men and horses!
Of course, the arrival of reinforcements can only blind those who have developed limbs and simple minds, but those who are delicate know that things are not so simple; In order to enter Luoyang first, Dong Zhuo and others left the infantry brigade behind, and only led 7,000 elite cavalry to come in the starry night, as for the infantry behind them, not only had to rely on two legs to rush step by step, but also carried a large amount of grain and grass baggage, all of them were leading soldiers, and naturally knew the marching speed of such an army, even if they used all the strength to eat, there was no ten days, and they did not want to enter the surroundings of Luoyang.
Ten days! It doesn't seem to be long, but those who have fought know that the time of a stick of incense on the battlefield can determine the outcome of a battle, they simply don't have ten days to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and Ding Yuan won't give them ten days, as long as the soldiers and horses continue to attack, at most three days, their camp in Xiliang will not be left with an inch of grass!
"What to do? What to do? ......", the generals all set their eyes on their backbone-Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo also had nothing to do, so he had to look at his own think tank Li Ru, at the critical moment, he had to rely on strategists, and strategy was undoubtedly more important than force!
Twisting his beard lightly, Li Ru closed his eyes slightly, and his mind began to run rapidly, how can he reverse the unfavorable situation? The tense veins on his forehead told everyone that he was really trying his best to think!
"What do you generals think is the reason for today's defeat?" After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Li Ru suddenly opened his eyes, full of light, and his face also showed a feeling of wisdom beads in his hand, obviously he had a plan in his heart!
"Of course, it's because of Lu Bu who is wearing a hundred flowers robe, this guy, with a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, the ghosts and gods are easy to beat, and the gods are brave and invincible!" Immediately, a general with his arms hanging spoke, and it could be seen from that palpitating face that this must have suffered a big loss from Lu Bu on the battlefield, and nine times out of ten he was still a wandering spirit who escaped death under Fang Tian's halberd.
"That's not right! If you want me to say, it's still the guy with the 'Chiyou Ghost Mask' who is more powerful, a wind wing gilt boring is dancing like wind and rain, that's really death, touching death! If it weren't for Lao Tzu's fate, he fell off the horse today, and he would have been lying in the graveyard behind him to cool off by now! "Another general talked about today's battle, even his face was distorted in horror, this one was even worse, his arms were fine, but his legs were broken, not cut off, but fell off his horse on the battlefield and was trampled by the war horse, but it was precisely because of this that he avoided Xiao Yi's flank charge and picked up a small life; Although he was unable to move, due to Dong Zhuo's strict military law, the general still let his subordinates come to the conference.
"Lu Bu is amazing! ……”
"Xiao Yi is amazing! ……”
"Without Lu Bu taking the lead in the battle, can we kill so many brothers?"
"Without that Xiao Yi's sudden attack from the flank, how could our big array be easily broken, this guy let the endangered friendly troops not come to the rescue, but went straight to our hearts, that's really powerful!"
…………………………
…………………………
"That's it! Be quiet! "Looking at the generals who are obviously divided into two camps, Li Ru is really a little crying and laughing, as for it, praising the enemy's generals can still quarrel so hard, they are really not afraid of increasing the enemy's spirit and extinguishing their own prestige!" Your meaning is already clear below, thinking that Ding Yuan and Zhang Yang are just two white-faced scholars who talk about themselves, and the reason why they can defeat us today is because of Lu Bu's courage and Xiao Yi's strategy, so these two people are the key,...... What if we give him a salary and turn these two people around? ”
"Shhh …… This one...... Will it work? …… You can try it, but it would be a great thing if it did! …… If that Xiao Yi is willing to throw over, Lao Tzu is willing to lead the horse for him! ......, what is it to lead a horse, Lao Tzu gave him all the concubines! ……”
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the big tent, and many people agreed with Li Ru's counterstrategy, but more people said that it was very difficult, people were mixed well in the Bingzhou group, why did they have nothing to do, they had to take refuge in their own subordinates, and it was almost the same for us to surrender to others!
"Shut up the old man!" Dong Zhuo's tyrannical eyes swept away, and the big tent immediately quieted down, what Li Ru said just now really made him excited, if he can really subdue Lu Bu and Xiao Yi, the two generals, then who else in the court can be his opponent, due to military might, it must be invincible in the world! Taking a step back, even if you can get one of the two, it is enough to help you dominate one side!
But although the solution is good, how can it be implemented? ……
"Don't worry, the last general and that Lu Bu are fellow villagers in Jiuyuan County, I know that this person is brave and unplanned, forgetful of righteousness, and the last general is not talented, I am willing to persuade Lu Bu to return with a three-inch tongue, assist the lord, and achieve great things!" Just as everyone was patting their heads and thinking of a way, a person stood up from the end of the queue, it was one of Dong Zhuo's soldiers - Li Su, who now lives in the position of Tiger Ben Zhonglang General!
Li Su is a very ordinary person who fights in battle, and his wit is not outstanding, but only one mouth is very powerful, and he can almost say that the dead are alive, so he was accepted by Dong Zhuo as a member of the army, and usually follows him by his side, acting as a messenger, lobbyist and other tasks!
"Oh! You go and persuade Lu Bu to vote, what do you need? Seeing Li Su report that he was brave enough to be a lobbyist, Dong Zhuo's face was first happy, and then he directly asked about the conditions, there is no free lunch in this world, if you want to get a return, you must first pay, Dong Zhuo deeply understands this truth, so while asking, he is ready to bleed, and he also knows in his heart that this blood is absolutely indispensable, I am afraid that it will hurt for a long time!
"In the end, I will persuade Lu Bu that two things are needed to succeed!" Taking a few steps forward, Li Su's face was full of smugness, since he came to the Xiliang Army, he has never had any chance to make meritorious contributions, and he was about to go crazy because of the feeling of 'not meeting talents', now it's okay, the opportunity is here, as long as he can persuade Lu Bu to come down, promotion and fortune are just around the corner!
"Those two? As long as it is in the old man's camp, just take it! "In order to subdue the tiger general, Dong Zhuo also let it go!
"First, I want gold beads and jade belts!" Li Su really opened his mouth widely, and the two things he wanted were priceless treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Good! There are still more than ten gold beads in the old man's back account, and I will take them all with you! …… As for the jade belt? Without hesitation, Dong Zhuo reached out and directly ripped open his robe, revealing a strip around his waist that consisted of countless gems, jade beads, and cat's eyes...... This jade belt was specially rewarded by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty for his meritorious service in guarding Xiliang, and it was a priceless treasure, and now he has also taken it out, which can really be described as a hemorrhage.
But anyone who can achieve great things, whether good or bad, must have their own merits, and one of Dong Zhuo's great advantages is that he spends money like dirt, rewards soldiers, and never skimps on money, which is also one of the reasons why so many ministers and brave generals are willing to follow him!
"Tell me what else you need!" Since there is a first, there must be a second, so Dong Zhuo continued to ask, and at the same time, his heart was throbbing slightly, according to the habit of giving gifts to the latter must be higher than the former, this second treasure must be more precious than the first!
"Huh! …… This is the second treasure! Looking at Dong Zhuo, whose face was trembling slightly, and then at the rest of the people who were already drooling, Li Su said categorically: "I want to ...... Chitu BMW! ”
"Hiss......"
