Chapter XXVIII
Hua Xiong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately said: "Congratulations to the lord for getting another 3,000 soldiers and horses." ”
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Let's get down to business. ”
Hua Xiong was immediately solemn and asked, "I don't know what arrangements the lord asked the last general to gather soldiers and horses to wait here?" ”
Dong Zhuo said: "A certain family ordered you to immediately lead the troops to set off, go out of the city from the east gate to the south, bypass Yi County, set up an ambush on the road between Yi County and Chen Cang, and rob the grain and grass that the Liangzhou thief army escorted from Chen Cang to Yi County. ”
When Hua Xiong heard the fight again, he immediately excitedly agreed: "Okay, the last general will lead his troops out to the battle, rob the granary of the thief army, and starve them to death." ”
Dong Zhuo advised: "Xuanba needs to be cautious in this trip, and you must not take it lightly. If this is not possible, withdraw the troops immediately and return to the city. ”
Hua Xiong agreed: "The last general will take orders!" ”
Dong Zhuo patted Hua Xiong's shoulder and said, "Go and go back quickly!" ”
"Wait a minute, the lord will go and go back!"
Hua Xiong immediately picked up his knife and flew on the horse, and saluted Dong Zhuo with a fist. Turning the horse's head, spurring the horse, leading the headquarters of 3,000 soldiers, out of the east gate, and marching away.
Ascending the East Gate Tower, Dong Zhuo overlooked from a high distance, and Hua Xiong led three thousand iron horsemen to gradually move away. A quarter of an hour later, only streaks of smoke and dust remained above the endless flat river.
Looking at the Huaxiong army in the distance, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh secretly, if he could have a special force in his hands, he would be more comfortable in fighting.
I secretly thought in my heart, Huaxiong's Wind Battalion was the first of its five elite divisions, and all of them were cavalry, which could come and go like the wind. Nowadays, tactical tasks such as robbing camps and cutting off grain roads can only be performed by Huaxiong's iron cavalry. However, tactical actions such as robbing the enemy's grain and grass behind enemy lines can be said to belong to the category of special operations.
However, in terms of Hua Xiong's impulsive personality at every turn, it is more than enough for him to serve as a vanguard officer who charges into battle and beheads the siege of the city, but it is really difficult to say that it is a little difficult for Hua Xiong to be a special operations commander who goes deep behind enemy lines and is elusive.
Now there are several generals under Dong Zhuo's own command, Dong Min and Huaxiong are the two, but they are only good at force, and they do not change through opportunities.
Next is Xu Rong, Xu Rong is calm and moderate, proficient in the art of war, and can be alert and flexible, but he is a good handsome talent.
Although Dong Huang has some changes and is familiar with military books, he is too angry and weak-minded, and if he goes on like this for a long time, it will be difficult to become a big weapon after all.
Further down are Gao Shun and Xu Huang, these two, Gao Shun is good at attacking, and Xu Huang is good at defending. Gao Shun is innocent and majestic, Xu Huang is calm and resolute, and they are all immortal generals.
Finally, there is today's new Li Dao Guo Yan, Li Dao is a self-righteous person, although Guo Yan has a small plan, but he has no great wisdom. These two people, after all, are useless.
In this way, if Dong Zhuo wants to form a special force that has always been strategic, the only people available are Xu Rong, Gao Shun and Xu Huang. It's just that Xu Rong and Xu Huang are now in important positions, and now that the war is imminent, it is not easy to change. And Gao Shun is too young to reach the situation of the later generations to build a trap camp.
In fact, if you want to talk about the commander of special operations, in this era, Dong Zhuo is most optimistic about Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, who Zhuge Kongming is known as "born anti-bone". This person is proficient in the art of war, likes to use dangerous moves, has a surprising talent, and is good at surprise attacks. Even in later generations, Wei Yan will be a particularly outstanding special operations officer. It's a pity that providence makes people, Wei Yan met a scholar who was not good at leading the army, and was timid and cautious, and he was always wary of Wei Yan. As a result, Wei Yan's talents had nowhere to be displayed, and he failed to show his ambitions throughout his life, and finally died.
Even if Dong Zhuo intends to recruit, it's a pity that Wei Yan is estimated to be just a teenager like Ma Chao, so it's too early.
Special forces!
Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and sighed. Since crossing over, Dong Zhuo has been planning to establish a special forces, but he has not yet chosen the main general. It really can't be done, and I can only order Gao Shun's flame battalion to be transformed into a special force.
Thinking about this, Dong Zhuo sighed: "Wenzheng, the current situation is becoming more and more urgent. ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "Why should the lord be so worried, although the current situation is developing faster than our plan, everything is under control." At this time, it is up to General He on the side of Luoyang to succeed in seeking the position of the main general of the Western Expedition. ”
Although the current situation is based on Dong Zhuo's plan, it is still quite complicated. Only when Dong Zhuo's plan is successful and he masters the military power of the entire Western Expeditionary Army can he pacify the overall situation of Xiliang as soon as possible.
The soldiers are fine, not many. Dong Zhuo, who was born as a special forces officer in later generations, clearly knows this truth. It's just that the Liangzhou Qianghu rebels are strong, and the army in his hands has just been mastered for less than half a year, and it has not yet been forged into a strong general. At this time, there is only one way to go with more soldiers.
It's just that I don't know where Huangfu Song is now, but don't wipe out the whole army.
…………
On the other side, Huangfu Song, who made Dong Zhuo worried, was discussing his next action with General Zhou Shen at this time.
In fact, it can't be said that he is worried about Huang Fu Song, to be precise, Dong Zhuo is worried about the tens of thousands of troops in Huang Fu Song's hands. Although Huangfu Song is indeed a generation of loyal ministers, but in this era, are there still few loyal ministers? Dong Zhuo will end the rule of the Han Dynasty sooner or later, and he is in a hostile camp, no matter how much he admires him, he will not be able to become friends, and sooner or later he will turn his face.
At this time, the adjutant general who had just returned from inquiring about the military situation was reporting to the two and said, "General Huangfu, the position of our army at this time is in Qishan. ”
"Qishan?"
Huangfu Song frowned when he heard this, and wondered: "Why did you come here, how far is this place from Meiyang?" ”
Zhou Shen said: "This place is three hundred miles away from Meiyang, and with the current marching speed of our army, I am afraid it will take three days to arrive." ”
Huangfu Song smashed his fist on the ground and said: "Now that our army has no food and grass, the only way is to return to Meiyang." It's just that the old man just suppressed Dong Zhuo before, and I'm afraid that he will inevitably be teased when I go back this time. ”
Zhou Shen advised: "General Huangfu doesn't need to be so worried. I heard that Dong Hedong is not an unreasonable person, and he will not be embarrassed as a general. Besides, the general is the chief general appointed by His Majesty, even if Dong Hedong has a grudge against the general, he can't do anything with the general. ”
"That's what I said, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to measure him." Huangfu Song sighed and said: "It's just that now that I am defeated, the old man is afraid that the ten permanent servants will slander in His Majesty's ears again, and I will have no place to bury me when I die!" ”
Zhou Shen said: "General, don't disturb yourself. There are great generals in the court, and they will not let me and others suffer unjustly. ”
Huangfu Song glanced at Zhou Shen and sighed in his heart. The ten permanent servants follow the Son of Heaven every day, if they want to slander and frame the Son of Heaven, it is unreliable to rely on the general He Jin.
However, Huangfu Song also understands that this cannot be said explicitly. Immediately calmed down, stood up and ordered:
"Keep marching!"
