Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Three-Way Army
"Ahem!"
Seeing that everyone present was leaning forward and leaning back with laughter, Dong Zhuo deliberately coughed, wanting everyone to be quiet.
Seeing this, all the generals held back their laughter, only Hua Xiong reacted slowly, still laughing unscrupulously, Xu Rong next to him hurriedly poked him, but this thing didn't know it, and still laughed.
Dong Zhuo shook his head helplessly, raised his voice and said, "Okay, don't laugh yet, let's get down to business first, and it's not too late to laugh after we finish speaking!" ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, he finally suppressed his laughter, and secretly looked at Dong Zhuo, seeing Dong Zhuo waiting for his eyes to stare at him, he smiled wryly and stopped making a sound.
"Since our army entered Sanfu, it has won several battles and defeated the rebels of Bianzhang Hansui, which not only relieved the danger of Sanfu, but also successfully recovered Youfufeng from the rebels. However, although the thief generals Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou were dead, Han Sui fled to Xiliang with thousands of remnants, and the thief generals Song Yang and Wang Kingdom still occupied several counties in Liangzhou, so a certain family decided to ......"
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo paused, raised his voice, and said loudly: "With 80,000 horses and infantry troops under his command, the soldiers are divided into three routes, and they will take Xiliang directly!" ”
Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but be shocked, concentrated, pricked up their ears, and stared at Dong Zhuo intently.
"The generals will obey!"
"The last general~" All the generals shook their bodies, their feet staggered, and they bowed their hands.
"Liu Feng, Xie Mang, Wei Sheng, and Han Zhao listen to orders!"
"The last general~" Liu Xie and Wei Han, who were promoted from the military marquis to the Sima of other departments not long ago, were stunned, they didn't expect Dong Zhuo to call them first, so they hurriedly stepped forward and responded loudly.
"Order the four of you to lead 1,000 troops each, garrison the right Fufeng, guard the Sanfu Mausoleum, Liu Feng guard Meiyang, Xie Mang guard Yixian, Wei Sheng guard Chencang, Han Zhao guard Huaili, you four have a major stake, there must be no mistakes!"
"The last will be ordered~"
Although the four of them regretted that they could not follow the army to participate in the war, it was already a great honor for Dong Zhuo to hand over such a heavy task to them, how could the four of them ask for him, and hurriedly agreed loudly.
"Hua Xiong, Gao Shun, Li Dao, and Zhang Ji obey the order!"
"The last general~" Hua Xiong, Gao Shun, Li Dao, and Zhang Ji took a step forward and responded in unison.
Dong Zhuo took out an arrow from the lottery on the handsome case, threw it to Hua Xiong, and said: "With Hua Xiong as the main general, Gao Shun as the deputy, lead 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops, and capture Beidi County!" ”
The four generals arched their hands and said sonorously: "The last general will be ordered~"
After the four generals retreated, Dong Zhuo ordered again: "Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou listen to the order!" ”
General Xu Rongsi took a step forward and replied sonorously: "The last general will ~"
"With Xu Rong as the main general and Xu Huang as the deputy, lead the horse infantry army with 10,000 each, and capture Anding County!"
Xu Rong took the arrow thrown by Dong Zhuo, and responded in unison with Xu Huang, Li Dao, and Fan Chou: "The last general will get the order~"
Dong Zhuo nodded and motioned for the four generals to retreat.
The reason why the lineup of the two armies in front of them is so distributed is the result of discussions between Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu.
Among the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, Huaxiong's martial arts are the strongest, followed by Xu Huang, followed by Xu Rong and Gao Shun, and then Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji.
Among these people, only Hua Xiong, Dong Huang, and Xu Rong are qualified to lead an army alone.
Hua Xiong has followed Dong Zhuo for the longest time, and he is the highest-ranking general under Dong Zhuo, so he naturally has the qualifications to lead an army alone.
Dong Huang is Dong Zhuo's son, is the major general of this army, everyone knows that Dong Zhuo only has one son under his knees, but unfortunately died early, Dong Huang is now the only seedling of the Dong family, it is impossible to say that Dong Huang will inherit Dong Zhuo's position in the future, and naturally has the qualification to lead the army.
Although Xu Rong has not followed Dong Zhuo for many days, he has the style of a general, mature and steady, resolute and decisive, and proficient in the art of war.
As for Gao Shun and Xu Huang, their time in the army is still short, and they are too young, they are both crowns, and it is difficult to convince the public; The four generals, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, although they have been in the military for a long time, their positions are too low, so they naturally do not have this qualification.
It's just that although Dong Huang has grown a lot in this war, his martial arts, art of war, and temperament are still not very mature, so he is naturally not suitable to be the main general and lead an army alone.
Although Hua Xiong is brave, but his temperament is too impatient and impulsive, Gao Shun and Zhang Ji are more calm and strategic, and Li Dao himself is a Northland clan, and he doesn't need a guide to bring him, so Hua Xiong is paired with Gao Shun, the deputy general and Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, the two generals, which just complement each other and complement each other.
Xu Rong and Xu Huang cooperate very well in martial arts, and the two are sworn brothers, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. Just send Guo Yan and Fan Chou, two generals who don't like to use their brains.
After arranging the two armies in front, Dong Zhuo glanced at Dong Huang, who was eager to try, and then ordered: "Dong Huang, Huangfu Jianshou, Wang Fang, Li Meng, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Zhang Heng, Ma Wan, Ma Bo, Li Zhong, ......."
"The last general~" More than a dozen generals shouted in unison when they heard this.
"With Dong Huang, Wang Fang and Li Meng leading 10,000 troops as the front army, Huangfu Jianshou and Hu Zhen Yang Ding leading 10,000 troops as the rear army, and the rest of the people followed a certain family as the Chinese army, raising a total of 40,000 horse infantry troops, going to Chencang, entering Hanyang, and capturing Longxi."
"The last general has an order~" The generals hurriedly saluted, and the sound was like thunder.
"The three armies each capture a county, and finally meet in Jincheng!" After the order was issued, Dong Zhuo's face was still solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This expedition has a lot to stake, and the whole army must work together to create a great cause!" ”
"Yes! We are willing to go to the soup for the Lord (Dong Gong), and I will not give up! When all the generals heard Dong Zhuo's words, they all knelt down on one knee, made a loud voice, and made an oath.
"The army will cook tomorrow on the third watch, and set off on the fifth watch to take Xiliang!"
"Yes~" the general replied again.
"Alright, let's go down and prepare!"
"Huh~" The generals responded, turned around and retreated.
"Hua Xiong, Xu Rong stay!" Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and stopped the two who were about to leave.
"Yes~"
Huaxiong and Xu Rong stopped when they heard the sound and stayed, and the other generals only said that Dong Zhuo had something else to order the two of them privately, so they all accelerated their pace and hurriedly retreated.
After everyone left, Hua Xiong asked suspiciously: "I don't know what the lord left me two into?" ”
At this time, there were only three of them left in the hall, Wei Qi was a member of the Hedong family, and he was naturally not suitable to be present for the next discussion, as for Jia Xu, it was because he knew what Dong Zhuo was going to say, so he slipped away directly, as a standard old fox, he naturally would not let himself be involved in this kind of sensitive conversation.
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "This time, the two of you are leading an army alone, and you have a heavy responsibility, so you must not take it lightly......"
"Don't worry, my lord, I will pay attention to it and live up to my lord's high expectations!"
can interrupt Dong Zhuo's words, so he is naturally Huaxiong.
Looking at Hua Xiong's big grin, Dong Zhuo shook his head, stared at Hua Xiong, and said word by word: "Gongsheng has always been steady, not arrogant or impatient, this family knows it, and has never been worried. Fang Cai's words were not for Gongsheng, what a certain family really wanted to say was you, Xuanba! Your personality is too strong, and now as the commander of the army, if you can't get rid of your arrogance, the 20,000 army will inevitably be mistaken by you and fall into danger! ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, he was immediately panicked, and hummed: "Don't worry, the last general will be cautious and will not miss the life of the army." ”
Dong Zhuo got up and walked out of the handsome case, came to the front of the two, patted Hua Xiong's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't make a decision lightly in case of trouble, think more, listen to Xuandao and their opinions, and it's not too late to make a decision!" ”
Hua Xiong's face was sincere, and he said solemnly: "The teachings of the lord, Hua Xiong must keep it in mind. ”
Nodding slowly, Dong Zhuo changed his previous soft attitude, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Now our army has 80,000 soldiers and horses, and a small Hedong County alone can no longer support so many soldiers and horses, and a certain family needs to find another foundation." Sending you two to lead the army this time is not just as simple as destroying the rebels in the northern land and stabilizing the two counties and recovering the city, but to completely control these two counties in the hands of our army, thinking that our army is the foundation, can you two understand? ”
