Chapter 20 Soldiers of the Great Army

In March of the second year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (195 AD).

Chunyang Kaitai, all things recover. The river thawed, and the snow melted.

The rebels of Liangzhou Bianzhang and Han Sui used the Qing monarch's side and the eunuchs as the reason to knock on the three auxiliary places in the pass, and the western capital Chang'an was in danger.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an order to take the left car general Huangfu Song as the general. The Son of Heaven is the emperor and worships Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong, as the general and the deputy of Huangfu Song. A total of 50,000 troops were marched to Liangzhou.

…………

Hedong County, Taishou Mansion.

After Dong Zhuo led a group of his subordinates to see off the messenger of the Son of Heaven who came to announce the decree, he led everyone back to the lobby.

Hua Xiong, who was tall and tall, was the first to jump up, his eyes shining, and he roared excitedly.

"Congratulations to the Lord for worshipping as the general of the Broken Captives. On this expedition, I Huaxiong took the lead and gave him a big killing. These bastards dare to make a mistake in our Xiliang hometown, and I want to split them into two pieces one by one to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

Hua Xiong's tiger-like roar exploded like thunder, deafening.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and motioned for Hua Xiong to sit down quietly. Seeing this, Hua Xiong had to kneel down and sit down.

Dong Zhuo's heart also swayed slightly. Originally, the Son of Heaven was put on the table, purely to build momentum, and in the popular words of later generations, it was called hype. Now it seems that like the previous recruitment list, it has received unexpected results.

Dong Zhuo clearly remembered that in the second year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo was worshiped as Zhonglang and would be the deputy of Huangfu Song to conquer the rebels of Bianzhang Hansui, and then he was promoted to the general of the captives.

Now that he has been worshiped as a broken general in advance, is this a butterfly effect?

"A certain family lived in Xiliang, and when he was young, he traveled with the Qianghu tribe in Xiliang. I know that the soldiers of Xiliang have always been able to fight well and are not afraid of death; The Qiang people in the west have always been fierce and brave in battle. We were ordered by the imperial court to crusade against Bian Zhang, Han Sui and other thieves.

This expedition may take a long time. Therefore, Hedong is the foundation of our group, and we should send a general to guard it with heavy troops, so that we can have no worries. ”

"What the lord said is very true, but I don't know which general the lord wants to keep in the guard?" At this time, Du Ji asked.

Dong Zhuo smiled at Du Ji, and his color suddenly became serious. "All civil and military forces obey orders!"

Everyone was shocked, and they all said: "Listen to the order of the inferior rank." ”

Dong Zhuo began to call the shots.

"Dong Min listened to the order and ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to guard the east of the river, and there must be no mistakes!" Dong Zhuo took out an order sign from the lottery holder on the desk in front of him and handed it to Dong Min.

"The last general commands." Dong Min stepped forward to take the order and bowed in response.

Hua Xiong listened to the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 iron cavalry of the Hurricane Battalion of the headquarters as the front army. Open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water. Make no mistake! ”

"The last general commands." Hua Xiong grabbed the order signed thrown by Dong Zhuo in his hand, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and shouted excitedly.

Xu Rong listened to the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Yulin Battalion of the headquarters as the right army. Cover the right flank of the army, there must be no mistake! ”

"The last general commands."

Gao Shun obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Flame Battalion of the headquarters to the left army. Cover the left flank of the army, there must be no mistake! ”

"The last general commands."

Dong Huang listened to the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses in the pro-military camp of the headquarters as the Chinese army. There must be no mistake in going on a journey with a certain family. ”

"The last general commands!"

Xu Huang listened to the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Qingshan Battalion of the headquarters as the rear army. Responsible for the affairs of the palace and the supervision of grain and grass, there must be no mistakes! ”

"The last general commands."

After giving the order to the generals, Dong Zhuo turned to look at the four civil officials and said:

Du Ji and Xu Jiang listened to the order and ordered you to take care of the affairs of Hedong and assist Dong Min in guarding Hedong County. Make no mistake! ”

"Humble Orders." Du Ji and Xu Jiang both saluted and received the order.

In the end, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and Wei Qi and said, "Li Ru is the military advisor, Wei Qi is the master of the army, and he will follow the army to the battle." Make no mistake! ”

"Commanded by humility." Li Wei and the others took the order and bowed.

After assigning the task, Dong Zhuo stood up and said to everyone seriously: "This trip to Liangzhou is related to the overall situation of our army's future strategy. After speaking, he bowed to everyone.

"We will live up to the high expectations of the lord!" Everyone saw Dong Zhuo saluting themselves and others, and hurriedly got up and saluted Dong Zhuo back.

"Everyone, please get up!" Dong Zhuo called out to everyone.

"The rank is with a certain family to do this, I wish my army a victory, the first battle victory! Come on, do it! Dong Zhuo picked up the wine on the table and said to everyone.

"Dry~"

…………

The town of Anyi County is in the north camp.

The word "Dong" unfolded in the wind, but it was Dong Zhuojun's black banner fluttering above the camp.

By this time, the army had already been assembled. The army is tightly organized, and the brocade is fluttering. The black armor is sparkling, the war horse is neighing, the sword light and sword shadow, and the murderous aura is vertical and horizontal.

Since the war in Xiliang came, Dong Zhuo wantonly recruited troops in the lower twenty counties of Hedong County. Now Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses have reached nearly 25,000, except for some old, weak, sick and miscellaneous soldiers, there are now more than 22,000 elite soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command.

In addition to the wind, forest, volcano, and four elite battalions, each with 3,000 soldiers. Dong Huang's pro-military battalion increased by 2,000 men, of which 1,000 were iron cavalry. Among the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses, 7,000 elite infantry, and 3,000 city guards, baggage soldiers, gang leaders, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were all under the command of Dong Min.

Dong Zhuo was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a dark iron tiger and tiger helmet, a dark brocade robe hanging on his body, a black gold gluttonous cloud swallowing scale armor, a white tiger brocade pattern, a black unicorn hissing under his crotch, a fine iron sword hanging from his waist, and a three-foot black iron lance. The mountain-like body, exuding a terrifying might, rode a horse and a spear, standing in front of the army.

Li Ru was dressed in plain clothes, wearing a scarf, riding a white horse, and followed Dong Zhuo on his right. On Dong Zhuo's left side is wearing a purple robe, and the personable Wei covets Wei Bo.

Going out to fight each other, Dong Zhuo led five battalions of elite divisions with a total of 15,000 troops. At this moment, Hua Xiong and other five generals crossed the horse to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, lined up on the right side of the camp, the armor was shining, the flag covered the sun, and there was a great momentum of ten thousand horses galloping and swallowing rivers and mountains. On the left side of the battalion is the 10,000 soldiers under the command of Dong Min, although the momentum is slightly inferior to the elite of the five battalions, but the soldiers are still strong and energetic.

"Brothers, as the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is a while. Nowadays, there are people in Xiliang who rebel, killing people, poisoning living beings, and committing heinous crimes.

Now trusted by the Son of Heaven, worship a certain family as a broken general, and lead the army to crusade against the rebellious thief army. Soldiers! It's time for you to behave.

In these troubled times, this is a good opportunity for us to wait! The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and when he lifted a three-foot long sword, he ascended to the rank of the son of heaven, and worshiped the marquis!

I think that the general Wei Qing was just a slave, and the hussar general Huo Qu was sick but a private son, but he was able to rank as the third duke and be named the marquis of ten thousand households, which was all a war achievement in troubled times.

A certain family was a farmer in Xiliang at the beginning, and then relied on a three-foot sword to cut through thorns and thorns, so that it has been 20 years before it has today's trend.

Now the credit from heaven is on us, and the brothers are all here to fight for the knighthood, and the wealth is close at hand.

Brothers, are you ready? ”

The pre-war mobilization meeting was a common thing for Dong Zhuo, a piece of cake.

I saw that the 25,000-strong army suddenly roared and shook the sky, and the battle spirit was boiling. The entire military camp was murderous in an instant, swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

Dong Zhuo raised the lance, and the military camp instantly became silent.

Then he slowly lowered the lance and roared:

"The army is ready to go!"
