Time into the sixth year of Zhongping, with the arrival of February, the cold winter began to go away, the ice and snow continued to melt, and the unsealed rivers began to flow. All things www.biquge.info ushered in vitality again, and the stubborn grass began to show the ground to welcome a new spring.

This is the second winter that Yan Xing spent alone away from home, and it is also the eightieth day of the siege of Chencang City by the Liangzhou coalition army.

After the beginning of spring, the morale of the coalition army has rebounded, and the father and son of the Wang family seem to have regained the wisdom and decisiveness of the past when Di Dao raised troops and captured Jicheng, and the kingdom began to call on all armies to reorganize their men. On the one hand, he ordered the corpses of soldiers and livestock that had frozen to death in winter and had not been dealt with in time to be cleaned up and buried on the spot, and on the other hand, the wounded, disabled, old and weak in the army were screened out and formed into independent battalions, and the whole army worked hard to boost morale.

At the same time, Wang Fan personally led the Xuanfeng Iron Cavalry to the north to approach the defense line of the Han army, making a posture of preparing to go north to seek a decisive battle.

Sun Ziyun: Soldiers, treacherous. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, ······ The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first.

Although the Liangzhou coalition army made an undiminished appearance of strength and strength to confuse the enemy, neither Huangfu Song nor Dong Zhuo was confused by the maze deliberately laid by the enemy. In the camp of the Huaili Han army, there was a controversy about the pursuit of the Liangzhou rebels at this time.

Make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharpness, and hit their laziness.

In front of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, the two generals of the dynasty, the hardness of the Liangzhou rebels was as ridiculous as a child's trick, but the two obviously had their own plans, so although they saw the truth about the Liangzhou rebels' exhaustion and retreat, they still insisted on one end and argued in front of many generals in the tent.

"No, you can't. There is a cloud in the art of war, don't chase after the poor, and don't force the public. Today, I am chasing the country, and I am forced to return to the people, and I am chasing the poor. The trapped beasts are still fighting, the bees are poisonous, and the situation is public! ”

Dong Zhuo, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, stood in the same position when he left last year, as if he was specifically going to oppose Huangfu Song, he raised his head and spoke out against Huang Fu Song's proposal to pursue the enemy army, just like Huang Fu Song opposed his entry into Chencang last year.

The faces of the generals in the tent were different, and they all looked at the majestic Huangfu Song who was sitting on the throne to see how he responded to Dong Zhuo's provocation.

The face of the emperor at the top did not change, as if he had already known in advance that Dong Zhuo would jump out against him, he slowly spoke, not so much talking to Dong Zhuo, but explaining to all the generals present.

"Not really. I don't fight before, avoid its sharp people. Hit it now, wait for it to decline. The tired teachers are not returned. The people of the country are leaving, and there is no fighting spirit. To fight the chaos, not the poor. ”

Seeing that his provocation was ignored, Dong Zhuo snorted in his mouth, arched his hand casually, and said unconvinced:

"Since General Zuo does not listen to dissuasion and lightly advances the enemy, then I can't obey!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was unscrupulous, directly revealing his true colors, and sternly rejected the resolution to join forces with Huangfu Song to pursue him, the generals under Huangfu Song all changed color angrily, and Huangfu Li had even sat up and was ready to jump out to accuse Dong Zhuo of wolf ambition.

But Huangfu Song was not angry, and instead spoke to appease the emotions under his command. Since the last time he argued with Dong Zhuo, he has been very insightful of Dong Zhuo's thoughts, Dong Zhuo's direct refusal to join forces He guessed before the military discussion, as for what the process of arguing, it was just an excuse that Dong Zhuo made casually.

He dared to stand in the tent today without fear, relying on the army he has always been proud of, imagine that his army is stationed in Meiyang, the whole army is obedient to him, once he is moved, the army will immediately be in chaos. Now that the rebels in Liangzhou are about to retreat, how could Huangfu Song make a gap with Dong Zhuo at this moment of breaking the enemy.

Huangfu Song's face was not gloomy, he talked eloquently, and did not argue with Dong Zhuo, and directly arranged the deployment of the generals in the account in a few words, and when it came to Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song looked at Dong Zhuo's sharp eyes and said:

"General Dong doesn't want to join forces in one place, but he can refuse to lead his troops and horses for my army!"

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Song took the initiative to retreat. There were no more heated quarrels, and the military discussion was soon over. After receiving the military order to prepare for the march, the generals hurriedly retreated to prepare, but Dong Zhuo, who was about to leave the account with everyone, suddenly turned around and glanced deeply at Huangfu Song, who was sitting on the top and Yuanyu Yuezhi.

Today's heavy punch of his was like hitting cotton, which was easily defused by Huangfu Song, although he was full of beard, and he couldn't see fear at the time, but he was even more jealous of Huangfu Song in his heart.

The first Huangfu Song moved, Dong Zhuo felt that he was about to meet Huangfu Song's eyes again, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, hurriedly turned around and walked out of the big tent.

A few days later, Chen Cangcheng

The two sides that have exchanged offensive and defensive positions are in full swing preparing for the final battle, and Chen Cangcheng, which was originally stormy and heavily besieged, has now become the eye of the storm in the center of the hurricane, falling into an eerie calm.

Since the beginning of spring, the dense ice edges on Chencang City have gradually melted, and Xu Rong has remobilized the people of the city, who were temporarily disbanded after the onset of winter, to prepare for a new attack by the Liangzhou rebels. It's a pity that although the rebels have been moving continuously since the beginning of spring, they seem to have lost all interest in Chen Cangcheng. For a time, the wind and waves on the city wall were calm, and the rebels and the Han army heard each other across the city wall and the ravines, but there was no intention of engaging in battle.

At this time, the fog outside the city was thick, and the enemy's camp was also in a white expanse, making it difficult to see the enemy's movements, and it was the time when the defenders of the city needed to be vigilant. Xu Rong left his residence in the city early in the morning and came to the city wall with a few of his own soldiers. He walked up the steps step by step along the side of the inner city wall, and the sound of his footsteps alarmed the Han soldiers on duty at the head of the city, and they turned their heads to look back, and after seeing Xu Rong's familiar figure, they all showed respect and saluted.

The army has always respected the strong, and any general who can bring them victory is a strong man, and can be wholeheartedly supported and respected by the low-level soldiers. And Xu Rong personally led the soldiers to fight at the head of the city during the days when the rebels attacked the city, and did not retreat after being wounded by arrows, and after the war, he ate and lived with the soldiers on the head of the city to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, and the soldiers could also take turns on duty, but Xu Rong did not take half a step at the head of the city during that time. He shared weal and woe with his soldiers, and every corner of the city left his footprints on his patrols.

Later, the rebels no longer attacked the city, and in the ice and snow, there were dense ice ridges on the city wall, Xu Rongcai left the city under the repeated persuasion of his own soldiers, but he must inspect the city wall several times a day in the morning and evening, and the soldiers who took turns to guard the city were also rewarded and treated fairly.

In this way, Xu Rong's status has surpassed that of Chen Cang's guards, and every soldier regards him as the most important barrier to defend Chen Cang.
