Chapter 38 Dispatch of Troops

The matter of persuading Huaxiong to study was solved, and then everyone naturally wanted to talk about the top priority at the moment - Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Li Wenhou's 70,000 troops stationed in Yixian.

"My lord, now our army is not as strong as Bian Zhang Han Sui. In the next thought, we should wait and see the changes first, and wait for Bian Zhang Han to make a move, and then we will find an opportunity to break the enemy. The handsome and dashing Wei Qi said calmly.

Li Ru said: "It is feasible to respond to all changes with the same, but it cannot stop there. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he asked Li Rudao: "What is Wenzheng's good plan?" ”

Li Ru pointed to the sand table, holding a few small blue flags marking the border chapter Han Suijun and a small black flag representing Dong Zhuojun's land to demonstrate on it, talking eloquently.

"Now our army is stationed in the two cities of Meiyang and Wugong as horns. Bian Zhang Han then wanted to attack Sanfu, but we just blocked their way. If our army does not move, they will definitely take the initiative to send troops. Coupled with the previous tactics of showing weakness to the enemy, Bian Zhang Han Sui thought that our army was short of food and grass, and he would definitely lead a heavy army to besiege the city, and attack the city after our army's food and grass were exhausted. ”

"Wenzheng's view coincides with that of Zaixia." Wei Qi took over the conversation and also held the small flag to demonstrate. continued: "In this case, the enemy army will definitely divide into two routes, one way a large army to feint on Meiyang, and at the same time send heavy troops to besiege Wugong and break the horns of our army. After they conquered the martial arts, they joined forces and completely captured Meiyang in one fell swoop. At that time, Bian Zhang Han Sui could go straight to Chang'an, and even knock Luoyang. ”

Hua Xiong has been standing by and watching. Everyone talked about the military situation, but he couldn't interject, so he could only listen quietly on the sidelines.

However, at this moment, when he heard that the situation was unfavorable, his impatience was committed again, and he interjected: "In this way, our army has to guard against it. How about withdrawing all the soldiers and horses of martial arts, and our army joining forces in one place and fighting the enemy? ”

Dong Zhuo was quite helpless about this, and felt that he couldn't be too hasty with Hua Xiong. He stopped him at the moment and said: "If you join forces in one place, the enemy army will naturally join forces, so that our army will have no advantage." For today's plan, another 4,000 soldiers will be sent to help defend the martial arts. ”

"Four thousand?" Hua Xiong hurriedly said: "What is the use of four thousand?" With these 4,000, the martial arts are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, which is too little, right? ”

Dong Zhuo and the others simply ignored Hua Xiong this time and ignored his existence.

Wei Qi said directly: "In addition, the lord can send an army to ambush near Wugong in advance, and when the time comes, he will cooperate with the two generals Xu Rong and Xu Huang in the city, and take advantage of their unpreparedness to launch an attack, and they will definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "It's a good idea to covet this, but I don't know who can take on this important task?" ”

Wei Qi said: "The lord and General Huaxiong are famous in Liangzhou, and Bian Zhang Han Sui will definitely pay special attention, so he needs to stay in Meiyang to confuse Bian Zhang Han Sui, so naturally he can't go." In addition, General Zhou Shen was the deputy general of the Western Expedition and could not go. General Huangfu is mature and steady, and he is a general, and he is well versed in the art of war, so it is just right for him to take on this position. ”

Inserting the small black flag in the area outside Wugong County on the sand table, Dong Zhuo said thoughtfully: "Yes, Huangfu Shoujian can." Even so, with Huangfu Shoujian as the main and Gao Shun as the deputy, he led 10,000 troops, set up an ambush outside the martial arts city, and crushed the enemy army in one fell swoop. ”

At this time, Li Ru, who had not spoken, stepped forward, pulled out a small yellow flag from somewhere in the sand table, planted it on Chen Cangcheng, and pulled out a small blue flag.

Seeing this, Hua Xiong asked puzzledly, "Strategist, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Ru didn't answer, but asked, "Brother Xuanba, can't you think about it yourself?" ”

"Uh......" Hua Xiong was asked by Li Ru, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only stare at the sand table and ponder.

After a while, Hua Xiong suddenly realized and said, "Strategist, you mean to say that let the soldiers and horses of Hanyang County attack Chen Cang. ”

Li Ru nodded, pointed to the area where he had pulled down the blue flag before, and said, "Yes, Hanyang Taishou - Gaixun." ”

This time, it was Dong Zhuo who was puzzled: "Gai Xun? ”

"Hmm!" Li Ru nodded and said: "Hanyang is too guarded by Gaixun, he is upright, and he also understands the art of war. The previous Liangzhou rebels captured the four counties of Anding in the north of Jincheng in Longxi, but they could not capture Hanyang garrisoned by Gaixun for a long time, so they could only make a detour to the east and enter Kou Sanfu. ”

Dong Zhuo didn't know who that Gaixun was, but since Li Ru said so, this person must have something extraordinary.

After thinking about it for a while, Dong Zhuo stopped thinking about it and said: "In this case, I will let someone go to contact Nagai Hanyang and ask him to take advantage of the emptiness of Chencang to send troops to capture Chencang and cut off the back road of Bian Zhang Hansui." ”

…………

"Wenyue, how did you do it, why did you lose so much?"

In the hall of the county government of Yixian County, a white middle-aged man with an elegant temperament sat on the main seat and said to Han Sui, who was sitting at the bottom.

He is Bian Zhang, now the leader of the Liangzhou rebels.

A few days ago, Han Sui sent a letter and asked him to lead his army to Yixian County to deal with Dong Zhuo together. But just after arriving, I heard that Han Sui was first robbed of 3,000 stone of grain and grass, and then folded 5,000 fine horses, which made everyone angry.

At this time, Bian Zhang was wearing a plain brocade robe, without armor, and looked like a doctor with a personable demeanor and a full reading of poetry and books. If not, who can know that he is the leader of the rebels in Liangzhou?

Bian Zhang's Xingshi questioning was naturally expected by Han Sui, and he stood up unhurriedly at the moment, and said slowly: "This time it is the fault of the younger brother, it is the younger brother's negligence, and I ask the elder brother to forgive the younger brother for the crime of not paying attention." ”

Bian Zhang snorted coldly, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "For the sake of you and my brotherhood, I will spare you this time." If there is a next time, General Ben will not tolerate it. ”

Han Sui stopped the furious Yan Xing, bowed down and said, "Yes! I understand it below. ”

"Hahaha!" Seeing Han Sui's appearance of bowing down to him now, Bian Zhang laughed heartily. Han Sui, who was as famous as him in Jincheng back then, is now his subordinate, and he will be his courtier in the future, how can Bian Zhang not be happy.

If you are human, you will have desires. If it was out of reach before, then naturally I wouldn't think much about it; But once you get close to it or experience it, you will naturally be more eager for it. It's just that some people can control it, and some people can't.

Bian Zhang was only engaged in Liangzhou before, so naturally he didn't have much desire for power. Although it was not his intention to become the leader of the rebel army, when he sat on the throne of the leader, held an army of 100,000, and felt the power of life and death in his hands, everything changed.

It was the thrill of holding power, and that feeling was something he couldn't get no matter how hard he tried before.

Although Bian Zhang is a celebrity, but in this era, are there still few people who sell their fame and reputation? What's wrong with Baume & Mercier, Baume & Mercier is also a human being. Anyway, Bian Zhang likes this feeling of power, and is addicted to it and can't extricate himself.

Looking at the invincible appearance of Bian Zhang now, Han Sui shook his head. He knew that the side chapter had changed, and he would never go to the previous side chapter again.

But when he turned his head and thought about it, what about himself, wasn't he Han Sui the same as before.

Shaking his head hard and suppressing those thoughts in his mind, Han Sui spoke again: "General, as far as I know, now the imperial court worships Dong Zhuo as the general of Pingxi, and leads 50,000 troops to conquer us. However, although Dong Zhuo was stationed in Meiyang, his supply of grain and grass was insufficient. Our army should immediately send troops at this time and take the opportunity to defeat Dong Zhuo. Enter Luoyang as soon as possible, clear the eunuchs beside the Son of Heaven, and return the world to a peaceful world. ”

When Bian Zhang heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "In this case, what is the best plan for Wen Yue?" ”

Han Sui said: "Our army can be divided into two routes, and the general and Brother Wen will lead 40,000 troops to besiege Meiyang. He led 30,000 troops under the command and attacked martial arts. I wonder what the general thinks? ”

Bian Zhang frowned, and said unhappily: "Meiyang City is high and deep, Dong Zhuo has 50,000 troops in Meiyang, and Wugong is only a few thousand people stationed in it. Now you let General Ben lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Meiyang, and you yourself lead 30,000 to attack a small martial arts city, how can this be done? ”

Han Sui hurriedly said: "General, after leading the army to capture the martial arts, immediately wave the army to the north and join forces with the general to capture Meiyang." ”

Unexpectedly, Bian Zhang snorted coldly and said, "There is no need to be so troublesome, General Ben personally led 50,000 troops to attack Meiyang." You led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in your headquarters to attack martial arts on your own. ”

"General......

"Needless to say, General Ben has made up his mind." Han Sui wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Bian Zhang.

"Pass the order, the army will cook on the third watch, and set off on the fifth watch."

"Yes!"

Han Sui was helpless, answered, and led Yan Xingcheng Gongying and Zhang Hengma to play with the four of them and retreated.

"General, I think Brother Wenyo's plan is quite good, but why don't you agree?"

After Han Sui walked away, Li Wenhou, who had not spoken, asked.

Bian Zhangyin said with a smile: "Brother Wenhou doesn't know, the name of Han Wen's appointment is to offer a plan, which is really a merit." Brother Wenhou, please think about it, if he acts according to Han Sui's plan, then he Han Wenyue will be the merit of capturing the two cities, but you and I will be discussed by our subordinates that we must rely on Han Sui's strength to capture Meiyang. When the time comes, the soldiers will think that Han Sui is more capable than you and me, and they will turn to follow Han Sui instead of you and me. I am not a fool, and how can I do what he wants. ”

At the beginning, Bian Zhang was able to sit on the position of leader, all thanks to the strong support of Li Wenhou. Now that Li Wenhou asked, Bian Zhang did not hide it, and said his inner guess one by one.

Li Wenhou was shocked and said, "I don't want that Han Sui to have such wolf ambitions. ”

Bian Zhang didn't answer, but secretly shouted in his heart: "Sooner or later, clean him up." ”

…………

"Bump ......" Yan Xing kicked over the case table in front of him, and roared: "The old thief of Bian Zhang deceives people too much. Father-in-law, can we just let others bully me like this? ”

Ma Yu and Zhang Heng also said: "Yes, general, the chapter over there is too much deception." ”

Han Sui had a gloomy face and said, "Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat." If you don't let anyone bully, what's the point? ”

Yan Xing didn't think about it, and immediately shouted: "I might as well kill that Zhang, how about my father-in-law leading the Liangzhou army?" ”

Zhang Heng hurriedly stopped: "This is impossible, the remaining troops of our army are less than 20,000, and they can't compete with Bian Zhang's 50,000 army at all." ”

Ma played: "Why don't I wait for the soldiers and horses, withdraw to Liangzhou, and let Bian Zhang go to fight Dong Zhuo by himself." ”

Cheng Gongying said: "The reason why the general joined the rebellion of the Qiang people is that it is indeed the persecution of the Qiang people, and he can only agree in desperation." The second is that now the power of the court is controlled by the eunuchs in the palace such as the ten permanent servants, the government and the opposition are turbulent, and the people's livelihood is difficult. Now, if the troops are withdrawn back to Liangzhou, won't the general be infamous as a traitor in vain? What's more, even if we wait for the withdrawal of the army and return to Liangzhou, what if Zhang does not deal with Dong Zhuo at that time, but instead deals with us first? Now the plan is to defeat Dong Zhuo first, and then knock on Luoyang, force the Son of Heaven to kill the eunuchs, and recruit me, which is the right way. ”

Han Sui nodded and said, "Ziming's words are very true, if we keep going against the imperial court, not only will we be dead, but we will also let future generations dig up our ancestral graves." For now, we can only work with Bian Zhang to defeat Dong Zhuo first, and let's talk about the rest later. ”
