Chapter 194: Unlucky Bao Zhong
"Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, did not respond to the alliance of the thief army, if our army suddenly transferred troops to Wudu County, will it cause Liu Yan's hostility to our army?" Zhonglang said with a worried look on Dong Yue's face.
"Liu Yan is a cunning man, occupying Yizhou and sending troops to garrison Hanzhong, cutting off the road to the imperial court, and becoming the biggest prince and king." A trace of gloom flashed in Li Ru's eyes: "Confucianism has sent many meticulous investigations to investigate Yizhou, but they have found nothing, so they must not take it lightly." ”
Dong Yue nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Taishi, the last general asks for orders to lead the army to guard Wudu County, if Liu Yan doesn't come, if he dares to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack, he will definitely be called back." ”
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru exchanged glances, the latter bowed his head slightly, and Dong Zhuo immediately said: "Even so, you can have 30,000 iron horsemen from your headquarters and rush to Wudu County in the starry night!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Dong Yue hugged his fists and said: "Don't hesitate, I will prepare for this." ”
Until Dong Yue's back disappeared into the darkness, Li Ru turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo, who had become bold and capable again, his eyes were full of relief, to be honest, the Kwantung coalition army was not terrible in his eyes, but the terrible thing was that when he didn't know how much, Dong Zhuo lost his former ambition, which made him a little disheartened.
Now that Dong Zhuo has regained his ambition, what reason does he have not to show his talent?
"Whew~"
Li Ru took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the map, staring at the three big red characters of "Hanoi County", the culprit who caused the current situation is here!
"Wen You, has Liu Wei had a firm foothold in Hanoi?" Dong Zhuo squinted his wolf eyes slightly, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, and asked, "Can you take advantage of the void and attack its lair?" ”
Li Ru shook his head and sighed: "Although King Hongnong is young, he is impressed by Confucianism, and he reciprocates carefully, Sima's, Zhang's, and Ma's are all allied with him, and Taishou Wang Kuang is also his horse's head, and now the end of the city is also the trouble of our army's henchmen." ”
"There is no internal trouble, and there are more than 10,000 troops stationed in Heyang County, and there seem to be a lot of troops stationed near Taihang Mountain, our army rashly attacked, if we can't quickly solve the battle and fall into a stalemate, it will inevitably drag down our army, once it is flanked by both armies, our army is in danger!"
"Alas~ The old man shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place." Dong Zhuo looked annoyed.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, although our army can't attack Hanoi County, the garrison that stays in Hanoi doesn't dare to invade Luoyang." Li Ru muttered: "However, it is necessary to send a general to lead 20,000 troops to the south bank of the Yellow River to prevent accidents." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded, looked around at the generals and said, "Then who can take on this important responsibility?" ”
"General Zhang Ji is brave and strategic, with a calm personality, and can take on this heavy responsibility!" Li Ru stroked his chin lightly, and his gaze swept over Zhang Ji, who was standing solemnly.
"What Wen You said is very true!" Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on Zhang Ji, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ji, Wen You recommended you to garrison Mengjin, are you willing to take on this important responsibility?" ”
When Zhang Ji was just a small captain, he never had the opportunity to lead the troops alone, and when he heard this, he immediately said loudly: "The last general will take the order!" ”
"Newspaper~"
As soon as Zhang Ji left, a terrible wolf howl sounded from outside the door, accompanied by heavy and rapid footsteps, a herald in iron armor crossed the door, took out a parchment roll from his arms, knelt down on one knee and said: "Qi Qi Taishi, the Tiger Prison Pass is eight hundred miles urgent." ”
"What?" Dong Zhuo's heart sank, how long did it take for an urgent report to come, could it be that there was something wrong with the Tiger Prison? The hearts of those present are also panicked, especially Li Ru, all his arrangements are based on the premise that the tiger prison is in the hands of the Xiliang army, once the tiger prison is lost, his hard work will disappear in an instant.
Dong Zhuo took the parchment scroll and read it in a hurry, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and handed the parchment scroll to Li Ru, but the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Li Ru hurriedly read it, and after a long silence, Huo Ran opened his eyes, his eyes showed a solemn look, and he said to Dong Zhuo: "What does my father-in-law think?" ”
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Li Ru and asked, "What is the current situation of our army?" ”
Li Ru said: "The three thousand flying bear troops around my father-in-law are the elite of the elite, in addition, there are still 50,000 cavalry in Dafang's hands, 8,000 Bingzhou troops who came with Wen Hou, and a total of 50,000 cavalry in the hands of Fan Chou, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals!" ”
"Listen generously!" Dong Zhuo's expression was sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately lead the 100,000 horse infantry army to the Tiger Prison Pass in the starry night, remember, everything obeys Hu Xuan's orders, there must be no mistakes!" ”
"No!" Although Niu Fu was in the clouds, he still received the military order, and immediately rushed to the camp, ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass in the starry night.
。。。。。。
"Hurry, hurry, keep up behind, don't fall behind."
"The front army continues to advance at a rapid pace, and do not stop."
Bao Zhong rode on his horse and kept urging his soldiers to speed up the march.
The art of war is cloudy, not in a hurry and can not double the way, that is to say, there is no safe grasp, special circumstances, can not speed up the march, this era of foot soldiers to ensure normal combat strength, the fastest march is about 50 miles.
And Bao Zhong had already urged his subordinates to travel more than 100 miles in one night, everyone was already tired, and the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and the deputy general was worried: "General, rest for a while, even if you march like this, even if you arrive, the brothers are no longer able to fight." ”
"No, I can't exhaust it!" Bao Zhong flatly refused: "The Xiliang soldiers may be stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass at any time, and they must take the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop when the Xiliang soldiers arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”
Bao Zhong was anxious to make meritorious service to show himself, and he was riding on a horse, how could he pity the soldiers, seeing that a team leader's footsteps were full of small steps, he raised his horse whip and slapped the leader's face fiercely, and said angrily: "Run, run hard, whoever dares to stop, military law will deal with it!" ”
The leader's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, so he had to drag his tired legs and continue on his way.
Less than three miles further, the whole army drove into a gentle slope overgrown with artemisia grass, Bao Zhong frowned and was about to stop the march, when the corner of his eye suddenly swept to see a swampy wetland in the south, coupled with the gentle terrain of this gentle slope and a wide field of vision, which was not conducive to setting up ambushes, so he was relieved, and asked the adjutant general with a relaxed expression: "Where is this?" ”
The adjutant general said helplessly: "Back to the general, the name of this place is Lilipo, and less than five miles further is the Tiger Prison." ”
"Good!"
Bao Zhong's face showed a hint of joy, and he waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "The three armies obey the order, and after passing the slope, they will rest, and now everyone will speed up the march!" ”
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
When Bao Zhong and his entourage plunged headlong into the slope, they only heard three terrible sounds of breaking the air, and three rockets were shot out from the east, west and north directions at the same time~
Bao Zhong, his lieutenant general, and three thousand soldiers watched as the three rockets cut a curved arc in the air and fell headlong into the yellow barren grass.
The adjutant general's expression changed suddenly, and he roared sharply: "General, there is an ambush, quickly order the whole army to speed up the pace and quickly pass the slope!" ”
