Volume 3 Discussion of Dong Chao World Chapter 6 Arrogant Wang Kuang
Just when the coalition forces of the three places were in contact with each other and were preparing to send troops to fight Dong. Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi who couldn't live in Annai, actually sent troops to Mengjin alone and attacked Dong Zhuo first.
Wang Kuang Nai is a big family in Hanoi, not only has money, but also has a great reputation in Hanoi and Taishan. After responding to Xiang Ao's request for Dong Zhuwen, many people came to serve, and Wang Kuang, who originally only had more than 2,000 county soldiers, forced together 5,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, with the use of family money, a lot of fine armor was cast, and the momentum was flourishing. Although they greeted Yuan Shao and Xiang Ao amiably on the surface, but in the current situation, who doesn't want to save Liu Xie and help the Han family first?
Wang Kuang, who had a hot head, sent troops to Mengjin without communicating with the coalition forces.
"Taishou still thinks twice, not to mention the danger of sending troops alone, I'm afraid it will hurt the thoughts of the coalition forces!" Wang Kuang was too guarded and Han Hao followed the soldiers and horses, persuading Wang Kuang as he walked.
"Evil, so what?" Wang Kuang snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's too many soldiers and horses, how could it be that Ben was too guarded opponent?" ”
"Now that there are sour dates in the east and Luyang in the south, it is the best time!" Wang Kuang was complacent, and said excitedly: "When Ben Taishou enters Luoyang and saves His Majesty from fire and water, you can get Your Majesty's weight, under one person, above ten thousand people is just around the corner!" ”
"But, Taishou..."Seeing this, Han Hao was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and he was even more angry in his heart: Taishou, Taishou, if it's so simple, do you still need an alliance? I'm afraid someone has already invaded Luoyang!
"Yuanhei, don't say more!" Wang Kuang interrupted Han Hao and said: "I have my own opinions, if the heir is afraid, just drop off the horse and go back!" When Han Hao heard this, he didn't get angry, but just sighed deeply, and rode his horse to follow Wang Kuang and continue to Mengjin.
Meng Jin, Dong Jun, Li Rushuai.
"Captain, the spies are coming to report that there are soldiers and horses on the other side of the Yellow River rushing towards Mengjin!"
"Oh? So fast? Li Ru was a little surprised: "How many people?" Who is the leader? ”
"About six thousand, more than four thousand infantry, one thousand cavalry, and the rest seem to be archers! The banner is Hanoi Wang Kuang! ”
Hearing this, Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha... Ben Duwei thought it was Xiang Ao, the prince of Zhenguo, but he didn't expect it to be a pawn! Li Ru smiled presumptuously, and didn't seem to take Wang Kuang in his eyes.
"General Li Dao, General Guo Yan!"
"The last general!" Li Dao, who was a tiger, and Guo Yan, who was calm and unfazed, took a big step forward and responded loudly.
"The strategy of battle is not the power of the Pontus!" Li Ru said indifferently: "This battle will be handed over to the two generals, I wish the two generals victory!" ”
"No!" Li Dao and Guo Yan were stunned for a moment, not wanting Li Ru to give such an order. The two were worried that Li Ru was just a Confucian student, and they didn't move the march to fight, and they didn't want Li Ru to hand over the military power to the two so decisively. The two who were originally dissatisfied with Li Ru began to admire a little in their hearts.
Li Ru is conceited of his talents, but Li Ru does not think that he can fight. The right people do the right things, that's the king. Immediately, the two left and prepared to face Wang Kuang.
"Listen to the thieves on the other side!" Wang Kuang came to the edge of the Yellow River and ordered people to shout and persuade him to surrender. "We are the elite under the command of Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Dong Zhuo acted perversely, and his crime should be punished. You are the warriors of the Han Court, the soldiers of Your Majesty, don't be confused and do anything wrong with Dong Thief. Your Majesty is merciful, we are not murderous people, as long as you put down your weapons and surrender immediately, Taishou will intercede for you, please forgive Your Majesty, let you unload your armor and return home! ”
Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had been waiting for a long time in Mengjin, were furious when they heard this. Li Wei, who had a small voice, couldn't hold back, and replied loudly: "Taishi Dong was appointed by His Majesty to assist His Majesty. If you disobey the imperial edict and rebel, you are the thief of disobedience. ”
"Who is the general on the other side?" Seeing this, Wang Kuang stepped forward in person and questioned loudly.
"Xiliang Li Dao under the command of the Taishi is also!"
When Wang Kuang heard this, his brows furrowed. Li Dao is a close confidant of Dong Zhuo and has followed Dong Zhuo to fight in Xiliang for many years. It seems that persuasion is in vain, Wang Kuang thought about it, but he didn't want to give up and replied loudly: "I am Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, you should put down your weapon immediately, listen to persuasion, don't be deceived by Dong thief." ”
"Wang Taishou!" Guo Yan, who was calm on the side, spoke: "Since you have recognized the canonization of the imperial court and served as the Taishou of Hanoi, why do you rebel against the imperial court and rebel now?" Are you so shameless for the people of the family? ”
"Presumptuous!" Wang Kuang was so angry with Guo Yan that he scolded angrily: "The puppet is indeed a puppet, and there is no respect and humility!" ”
"Hmph, so shameless, do you still care about etiquette?" Guo Yan had a calm face, and also scolded angrily and replied: "It's just sour, if you want to fight, you will be beaten!" ”
"Puff arrogance!" Wang Kuang was so angry that he kicked in anger, his face turned red, he didn't say much anymore, he turned to the deputy general Han Hao with a calm face and said, "Immediately cross the river and attack Mengjin!" ”
"Taishou! Meng Jin is easy to defend and difficult to attack, please guard three..."
"Cross the river!" Wang Kuang shouted angrily, interrupting Wang Kuang, and his eyes almost popped out.
The anxious Han Hao looked at Wang Kuang's angry appearance, knowing that persuasion was useless, so he sighed and tried to cross the river. However, Han Hao knew that such a reckless attack on Mengjin would definitely be a fiasco, so he quietly ordered someone to rush back to Huaixian and inform Xiang Ao of the military situation, hoping to rush to help in time.
The water of the Yellow River is turbulent and turbulent, and even Mengjin, which is a ferry, is also undercurrent. What's more, it was the beginning of spring in April, and the snow melted along the upstream coast was mixed in, and the flow rate was extremely fast and bitterly cold. In such a situation, I am afraid that before I can attack the bank of the Mengjin River, I will be completely annihilated. Han Hao didn't want to leave his hometown and the recruited Taishan soldiers and the local soldiers of Hanoi County to die so innocently, so he innocently delayed when he was reorganizing the army, hoping to wait until Xiang Ao arrived.
Wang Kuang urged tightly, and Han Hao was worried that Xiang Ao would not be able to arrive in time, so he came up with a plan. He ordered some brave men to stay on the riverbank, to tie the stern of the boat with very thick hemp ropes, and then ordered the soldiers to tie themselves to the side of the ship with thin hemp ropes. In order to prevent Meng Jin's Dong Jun from throwing arrows, and even using fire, he ordered countless straw men soaked with water to stand on the side of the ship.
Wang Kuang did it, and planned to be able to capture Mengjin, just to be able to let more soldiers survive. A recruit or an experienced veteran with a little insight understood in a moment that Han Hao did this to save their lives, so he worked harder to do things according to all Han Hao's arrangements. In this way, Wang Kuang unintentionally let Han Hao, who was originally only in charge of the civil affairs of the Taishou Mansion, be recognized by the soldiers.
Finally, before the end of the day, all the straw men of the ship were tied, and the number of hemp ropes was enough in front of them. Wang Kuang saw that Han Hao had finished reorganizing the army, and planned to give an order and cross the river overnight. Fortunately, Han Hao tried his best to dissuade him, and he was dragged to the early morning of the second day.
Morning in the morning.
"Taishou can think about it, do you really want to cross the river?" Han Hao was still unwilling to give up persuading Wang Kuang.
"Cross the river!" Wang Kuang, who had calmed down his anger, looked at the turbulent water of the Yellow River, although he knew the possible consequences of forcibly crossing Mengjin after waking up, but Wang Kuang was unwilling to give up the opportunity to make the first contribution, and the rampant anger in his heart against Li Dao and Guo Yan yesterday made Wang Kuang still make a decision to cross the river.
Han Hao glanced at Wang Kuang helplessly, turned to the group of soldiers and said, "Cross the river!" "How could the soldiers not see the danger of forcibly crossing the Yellow River, they all hesitated and hesitated.
"The Overseers come forward, and those who disobey the orders will be beheaded!" Seeing this, Wang Kuang's face was extremely ugly. With a ruthless heart, he climbed the largest warship and prepared to take the lead, and at the same time gave orders to the soldiers and horses of the personal guard and overseer behind him with a fierce face.
"No!" A group of guards received the order, although they couldn't bear it, but they still followed the military order, and came behind thousands of soldiers and horses and shouted: "Taishou order, cross the river!" Violators will be killed! Seeing Wang Kuang on the boat, the soldiers put down a little bit of fear in their hearts and began to board the ship with a shout.
"It's too guarding!" Han Hao saw that Wang Kuang also boarded the warship, and his face was shocked: "Taishou is a general of the army, how can he take such a risk and go into battle in person?" Please disembark from the Taishou and be taken into battle by the Koyo Taimori! ”
"It's okay, Ben is too familiar with water!" Wang Kuang said confidently: "Besides, hasn't Yuan Hei already arranged a retreat?" Even if we can't capture Mengjin, we can just retreat! If Ben Taishou does not take the lead, thousands of soldiers will be afraid, so morale, how to fight? ”
When Han Hao heard this, he looked at the soldiers who had become orderly, and sighed helplessly: "In this way, Hao will give it a try with Taishou!" Seeing Han Hao who had climbed onto the warship, Wang Kuang felt a little relieved, chuckled and patted Han Hao on the back, and said no more.
Just as Wang Kuang was preparing to cross the river to attack Mengjin, the small Pingjin ferry, sixty or seventy miles west of Mengjin, was crowded, and nearly 2,000 soldiers in dark black armor were also boarding boats to cross the river, and many large warships had even sturdy horses being transported to the other side. If the people of Soma see it, they will definitely exclaim: Xiliang Hummer.
"General Guo!"
"Captain!" Guo Yan heard the shouting behind him, turned around and saw that it was Li Ru, and hugged his fists in salute. Li Ruzuo replied: "Did General Li cross the river smoothly?" ”
"Lieutenant don't worry, although the soldiers and horses of Xiliang are not good at water warfare, there is no problem to cross the river by boat!"
"That's good!" Li Ru stared with both eyes, took a closer look at Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses who were boarding the ship on the other side, and said with a chuckle: "After this battle, General Guo and General Li will definitely be famous all over the world." Presumably, the Taishi will also be rewarded! Li Ru stared at Guo Yan with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Seeing this, Guo Yan's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "They are all leaders of the Taishi and the Governor, and we are just acting according to the plan!" ”
"Haha..."Li Ru laughed and said, "General Guo is modest! Looking at Guo Yan, who was still calm and inconvenient, Li Ru raised his eyebrows, and begged: General Guo, interesting!
"General Xiang, General Xiang!" The soldiers dressed in Hanoi uniforms fought their horses overnight and rushed back to the Xiang Ao military camp in Huai County before dawn.
"Who dares to break into the camp!" Xiang Ao's army guarded the camp, and raised his gun to set up the unsuspecting Hanoi soldiers.
"Brother, General Xiang of Sutong, Wang Kuang is in danger!" The erected soldier was not angry, and shouted anxiously at the guard. Seeing that this person was so anxious, the soldiers guarding the barracks did not dare to delay, and after putting down the Hanoi soldiers, they hurriedly rushed towards the tent.
