Regarding the whereabouts of Lu Bu without him, Dong Zhuo is not only disappointed but disappointed!

But Dong Zhuo didn't believe that Lu Bu would die on the battlefield as Ding Yuan said!

Although history may have deviated from the original trajectory a little due to his arrival, Dong Zhuo did not believe that the butterfly effect he produced would destroy the dignified Lu Bu.

It's not scientific!

Intuition told Dong Zhuo that Lu Bu must be in Bingzhou, and he will definitely have a different spark with him!

Restraining his emotions for a while, Dong Zhuo asked, "What is the movement of the Huns in Yanmen now?" ”

It's been a day since I came to Yanmen, although yesterday under Ding Yuan's introduction, Dong Zhuo had a general understanding of the situation in Yanmen, but now that we are discussing major matters, Dong Zhuo naturally wants to understand it in more detail!

Ding Yuan said, "Half a month ago, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Huns in the direction of Dingxiang in Yanmen captured Wuzhou, and then there was no movement.

Now, according to the scout's report, the Huns tried their best to deploy troops in Wuzhou, Zhongling, Shanwu, Luoxian, Wucheng and other cities, thinking that they wanted to capture Yanmen in one fell swoop, and then wave their troops south to take the two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang.

As for the Xiongnu royal court in Hetao Meiji, there was not much movement, but the Hun Zhonglang killed Wang Tao, which was also a big blow to the defense line of Xihe County and Shangjun! ”

Dong Zhuo nodded secretly, it is not difficult to understand that the Huns did this.

There are nine counties and 91 counties under the rule of the state, with a population of nearly 600,000. But in fact, these populations are concentrated in the three counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang in the east of Bingzhou, and the rest of the counties are vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many people, a little more like Yunzhong, Wuyuan County, and Shang County, with a population of 20,000 or 30,000, and a little less Dingxiang and Xihe County, also have a population of 10,000 or 20,000, and like the most remote Shuofang County, even in the most prosperous period, there are only less than 10,000 people.

In other words, the three counties of Shangdang in Taiyuan, Yanmen, in the eastern part of Bingzhou, only occupy one-third of the land of Bingzhou, but they have five-sixths of the population of Bingzhou.

The Huns are not fools, so they will naturally attack the three counties of Shangdang in Taiyuan, Yanmen first!

After all, for the Xiongnu, population not only means wealth, but also represents food, and compared with occupying the vast wasteland of the six counties in the central and western parts of the state, occupying the three counties of Yanmen can undoubtedly strengthen the Xiongnu even more.

Such a simple multiple-choice question, as long as the Xiongnu Shan Yu is not a fool, I believe that his choice will be to attack the three counties of Yanmen and Taiyuan first.

"Humph! The Huns have a good calculation, now our army has abundant food and grass, and there are many generals, if they really dare to come, without the help of the lord, the last general will be able to kill them to cry dad and mother, and flee in embarrassment! ”

Zang Ba snorted coldly and expressed his opinion dissatisfied.

Half a month ago, Zang Ba lost the county seat of Wuzhou when the grain and grass were cut off, and fled back to Mayi in embarrassment, which made Zang Ba feel very unhappy all the time, and wanted to find a chance to get out of this evil breath!

When Ding Yuan killed Wang Qiu before, although Zang Ba led three thousand light horsemen to abuse Wang Qiu's army fiercely, it was his own person after all, and he couldn't make Zang Ba angry.

Now that they have killed Wang Qiu, robbed Wang Qiu's grain and grass and army, and Dong Zhuoxin has 200,000 stone grain and grass to buy, Zang Ba began to use his brains, how to regain the lost Wuzhou City, so shameful!

Ignoring Zang Ba's clamour, Dong Zhuo asked Ding Yuan again, "Is Pingcheng still in the hands of our army?" ”

Pingcheng is located in the north of Yanmen County, in the later generations of Dong Zhuo, there is a good name, called Datong, this place is adjacent to Daijun in the east, Dingxiang in the west, Xianbei in the north, and it is the necessary place of the Great Wall, and the strategic location is very important.

It's just that most of the cities in Yanmen County are near the two rivers in the southeast of Yanmen, making the remote Pingcheng an isolated city.

"In!"

Hearing Dong Zhuo ask about Pingcheng, Ding Yuan hurriedly said, "Pingcheng is garrisoned by 3,000 troops led by Ding Shan, the son of the last general, and it is still in the hands of our army. ”

Dong Zhuo was a little surprised, and asked Ding Yuandao, "How many heirs does Jianyang have?" ”

"There is only one son, named Ding Shan, who is twenty-six this year, but he has learned nothing, and he was sent by the last general to guard Pingcheng!"

Ding Yuan's tone was obviously a little unhappy, not only because his son was not angry, but also regretted that he had no other heirs, this Ding Yuan was born in a poor family, married a wife when he was a teenager, and gave birth to a son Ding Shan, but his wife was born in childbirth, and he could not have any more children. Later, Ding Yuan became an official and gradually became noble, but he did not accept concubines anymore, but lived wholeheartedly with his wife.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but have a good impression of Ding Yuan, this guy was able to throw his only son to the front line in the distance, and he didn't take it with him, or stayed in the Yanmen County Zhiyin Pavilion to sit in the rear, it can be seen that this guy still doesn't have much selfishness.

Even with it, Dong Zhuo didn't care so much about Ding Yuan's previous calculations.

"That's great!"

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "What Zang Ba said before is not unreasonable, our army is now full of soldiers, so naturally we can't sit back and wait for the Huns to attack, with the intention of a certain family, our army should take the initiative to attack and give the Huns a painful lesson!" ”

"But by the command of the Lord!"

When the generals heard this, their eyes were full of excitement, Zang Ba needless to say, he had long wanted to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Huns, but he was busy collecting Wang Qiu's army before, and he didn't have the opportunity to send troops, now Dong Zhuo is the boss, and he can't help it, fortunately, his thoughts are the same as Dong Zhuo, otherwise Zang Ba will not be crazy.

Not to mention Xiao Ma Chao, since he came to Bingzhou, he has not had a good day, either helping Dong Zhuo to review the copywriting or marching, Xiao Ma Chao has long been tired of it, and at this time his heart has already flown to the battlefield hundreds of miles away!

Li Su's idea is very simple, make meritorious contributions, be promoted to become rich, worship the generals, and go down in history, that's all!

As for the young Zhang Liao and his father Zhang Yi, they are no exception, they are both military generals, and military generals naturally like to attack and occupy the initiative on the battlefield, rather than blindly defending.

It's really uncomfortable to let people chase and fight, even the best generals don't like to defend all the time.

Dong Zhuo walked down the handsome case and came to a huge framed map screen, holding a three-foot long sword in his hand, pointing on the map.

"With Zang Ba as the main general and Zhang Liao as the deputy general, leading 10,000 light cavalry, sending troops from Pingcheng, attacking Qiangyin, going Dingxiang, entering the clouds, making a big detour from behind, cutting off the retreat of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yi and Li Su led 30,000 troops, Zhang Yi was the main general, Li Su was the deputy general, and Wang Tao sent troops.

A certain family and Jianyang led 50,000 troops, and the soldiers went out of Mayi, first attacking Wuzhou, then going to Zhongling, and then taking Luocheng, and then the soldiers pointed directly at the Xiongnu royal court! ”
