Chapter 72: The First Year of the First Peace

In the first year of the first peace, Zhang Liao came to the first month of the second year of this era, the Yellow River was frozen three feet six inches, and the princes of the Kanto prefectures and counties had a total of thirteen roads, and officially raised the banner to raise troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, in the name of Kuang Zheng Huangtong, the emperor Liu Xie, who denied Dong Zhuoli's emperor, supported the abolition of the son of heaven Hongnong Wang, and elected Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, as the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shao served as the general of the chariot cavalry.

As Jia Xu expected, he guarded Wang Kuang with Hanoi and Cui Juntun from Hexi to Hanoi County, while Jizhou Mu Hanfu sat in Yecheng and transported grain and grass.

At the same time, Yuan Shao appointed his hardcore friend Cao Cao as a fake Fenwu general, and separated Cao Cao from Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao to supervise the armies on the Eastern Road.

The south road is the self-appointed Nanyang Taishou Later General Yuan Shu, Yingchuan Taishou Li Min and Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling. The Yuan brothers are one in the south and one in the north, and their status is also one of the best among the Kwantung princes, and the foundation and heritage of the Yuan family in Runan can be seen.

However, the Yuan brothers themselves had a foothold, but they hurt the more than 50 members of the Yuan family who were still in Luoyang, including the former Taifu Yuan Kui and the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Ji, were all taken into custody by the angry Dong Zhuo, and they wanted to send troops to attack the Kwantung princes, but they were stopped by Shangshu Zheng Tai and others.

On the tenth day of the first month, at the beginning of spring, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, led the three princes and nine kings to the suburbs of the east eight miles to welcome spring, praying for a good harvest and amnesty for the world.

On the twelfth day of the first month, Dong Zhuo received news that Zhonglang General Niu Fu was defeated again by the Baibo army led by Guo Tai on the front line of Pingyang and Linfen, and the Baibo army crossed the Fen River to the south and attacked Anyi, the administrative office of Hedong County, as well as Wenxi and Jiangyi, and the east of the river was in danger!

On this day, Dong Zhuo killed the fifteen-year-old Son of Heaven and Hongnong King Liu Bianyu in the palace, and from then on there was only one orthodox son of heaven in the world, and that was Liu Xie! This move can be described as ruthless, cutting off the name of the Kwantung princes' army, so that the Kwantung princes have no king to work hard!

At the beginning of the first month before that, Li Ru came to Xiaopingjin to drink with Zhang Liao, and the two had a secret conversation, and then Li Ru returned to Luoyang.

In the early morning of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, although spring has begun, it is still cold, there are still large pieces of residual snow in the mountains, Zhang Liao is training soldiers in the morning, Jia Xu suddenly sent someone to summon him, let him go to the big tent quickly.

Zhang Liao walked out of the school field and followed the guards all the way to the barracks, and found from a distance that there were several times more guards outside the barracks, almost all of whom were unfamiliar faces.

He couldn't help but be surprised, quickened his pace, and when he arrived outside the gate, several Qianghu soldiers stopped him and ordered him to untie the long sword at his waist, Zhang Liao frowned, untied the long sword and handed it to the guards.

At the same time, he quickly pondered in his heart, the posture in front of him was clearly taking over the defense of the military camp, such a big pomp, could it be that Dong Zhuo was here? Thinking of his conversation with Li Ru a few days ago, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

From the gate to the middle tent, a distance of only a hundred steps, neatly and densely covered with fully armed soldiers, there were two hundred people, full of murderous spirit, Zhang Liao was even more sure of his guess.

When he reached the tent, a soldier stopped him, and another soldier went in to report it, and soon came out to lead him in.

Entering the big tent, Zhang Liao looked at the head first, a burly man about forty or fifty years old was standing there, dressed in military uniform, with a square face and beard, a horizontal face, thick eyebrows hanging upside down, a nose and a wide mouth, it was Dong Zhuo.

Next to Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu and Li Ru were there, and there were a few unfamiliar faces, but looking at the outfits, they were obviously generals in the army.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was obviously fatter than more than three months ago, and the rough and fierce evil aura on his body had also subsided a lot, and his face was a little more tired.

"His subordinates, Pingjin Sima Zhang Liao, visited Xiangguo." Zhang Liaorong pretended to be on his body, but just hugged his fists and bowed.

Dong Zhuo looked at Zhang Liao and laughed: "I haven't seen you for three months, Wenyuan is okay?" ”

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Meng Xiangguo and Jia Duwei are very loving, and their subordinates are like fish in water in the army. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, and his voice suddenly turned solemn: "The old man heard Wen You say that Wen Yuan has a strategy to defeat Yuan Shao?" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned, looked at Li Ru, looked up and saw Dong Zhuo's sharp eyes, and immediately said in a deep voice: "If it comes to strategy, Mr. Li and Jia Duwei are both here, which is a hundred times better than Zhang Liao!" Liao didn't dare to speak, but when it came to meeting on the narrow road and competing on the battlefield, his subordinates were not afraid of Yuan Shao. ”

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "You only have a thousand recruits under your command, how can you feel such a big statement, so light on the enemy?" ”

Zhang Liao Zhengse said: "The last general has never underestimated the enemy, his subordinates are new soldiers, how can Yuan Shao bring veterans?" There are three subordinates who dare to say that they win, one is the country and the Son of Heaven, and the Kanto army is a thief, cutting down without a way, disturbing the world, it is an unrighteous army, how can it win? The two, with Mr. Li and Jia Duwei's strategists, plus our surprise attack first, and the Kwantung group of thieves was satisfied and paralyzed carelessly, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang fought with a heart, and they were unprepared for battle, how could they be invincible? Three, the subordinates thought that the soldiers were one and the bears were in a nest, the Kwantung thieves were in a hurry, and the soldiers were not even, and the subordinates thought that they still had some skills, enough to despise the Kwantung thieves! ”

"Good! There are three good winners! Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and laughed: "The Kwantung rebels raised 100,000 troops, and all the generals hesitated, worried that there were many thieves and soldiers, and Duwenyuan had such a heroic spirit, which was magnificent!" This time, Wen Yuan went out to Hanoi with a certain person and captured Yuan Shao! ”

Zhang Liao ignored the ugly faces of several generals on the side, clenched his fists and said loudly: "Subordinates receive orders!" This is going to break Yuan Shao! Triumphant! ”

"Hahahaha!" The big tent was filled with Dong Zhuo's laughter, and the tiredness on his face, which was full of meat, also dissipated a lot.

……

Zhang Liao came out of the big tent, and soon after returning to the small courtyard, Li Ru came to visit.

Zhang Liao wanted to greet him with wine, Li Ru shook his head, but he didn't dare to drink, the two just drank tea and talked.

"Wenyuan." Li Ru didn't drink a cup of tea, so he couldn't help but speak first: "Are you sure of this battle?" If he loses, Xiangguo will be furious, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and smiled: "How can there be everything in this world? If you want to achieve success, you can't do it without taking the slightest risk. ”

Li Ru sighed: "Today's situation can be described as embattled, extremely dangerous, the east of the east of the east group of thieves raised 100,000 troops, the north of the white wave thieves is 100,000, has crossed the Fen River, approaching Anyi, the situation in the east of the river is worrying, Xiangguo yesterday from Luoyang and 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north to reinforce Hedong, now Luoyang soldiers and horses are only 20,000, but to guard against three sides, it is really stretched. ”

Li Ru paused, and said: "And in the west, there are 100,000 chaotic troops of Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Yan Zhong in Liangzhou, and 30,000 soldiers and horses of Huangfu Song in Guanzhong. Now Xiangguo can be said to be anxious, is about to win a big battle to boost morale, for the brother also listened to what you said that day, only to dare to Xiangguo to suggest to the Xiangguo to raid Hanoi first, now Xiangguo for the battle of Hanoi attaches great importance to the battle, if it fails, I'm afraid you and I will have to ......"

Zhang Liao laughed: "Brother Wenyou, don't worry, you just have to prepare a wife and a beautiful concubine for me, I have been promised to my little brother for so long, but my little brother thinks about it day and night, and looks forward to seeing through the autumn water." ”

Li Ru looked at Zhang Liao, the strange look in his eyes flashed, he took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully: "Wenyuan and rest assured, if this battle is won, the wife and concubine are only close at hand." ”

"Haha, if there is no more, Ling Love will be promised to the little brother." Zhang Liao laughed, he liked to make fun of Li Ru every time he drank, but at this time, he didn't notice Li Ru's strange look.
