Chapter 225: Seeking the Rear
Taishi, Leping is the gateway to the state, and it is the gateway to the Central Plains, which is now stolen by Zhang thief, and the situation seems to be a little unfavorable for us. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Yu also said silently.
Silence, Dong Zhuo is always silent, but in his sunken eyes, there is a complicated look.
Thinking that he was a great master of the Han Dynasty, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, his strength was not only several times stronger than Zhang Yuan, but this time he waved his army eastward, and he came to sweep Zhang Yuan with the confidence that he would win.
Who would have thought that after so many days of fighting, he lost again and again, not only did he not even set foot on an inch of land in the state, but he was also attacked by Zhang Yuan and took his Leping.
Humiliation, Dong Zhongying, the number one prince in the world, was simply humiliated by Zhang Yuan, a kid.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly froze, his murderous aura suddenly appeared, the horsewhip was clenched, he pointed fiercely to the east, and shouted angrily: "The whole army will speed up the march for Lone, and Lone will gather that thief to annihilate in Leping." ”
A day later, Dong Zhuo led an army of 40,000 and rushed to the foot of Leping City.
At this time, Zhang Yuan had already strengthened the city wall, and set up a large camp in the south of the city, forming a horn trend.
Then, the battle entered a stalemate.
Dong Zhuo is anxious to fight on this side, attacking again and again, calling for war again and again, but Zhang Yuan is sticking to it behind closed doors, no matter how fierce you call it war, anyway, I just won't fight.
Zhang Yuan's advantage is that he is backed by a merge of states, fighting at home, with sufficient supply of grain and grass, but his troops are not as many as Dong Zhuo, and his tactics are naturally to stick to Dong Zhuo without fighting until he dies.
As for Dong Zhuo, although he has occupied Guanzhong over the years, accumulated a lot of grain and grass, and is also backed by the Central Plains, grain and grass are not a problem, but he has a more fatal weakness than Zhang Yuan.
He is the most formidable enemy of all the princes.
Although there is hostility among the princes, he is the nominal greatest enemy of the princes, and I don't know when the princes' alliance will attack again.
Dong Zhuo must do his best to be as good as possible before all the princes go south, which is also one of the main reasons why he sent troops to annex the state and wanted to pacify the east before the decisive battle with all the princes.
So Dong Zhuo can't afford to delay, he must fight quickly and destroy Zhang Yuan, which is in line with his grand strategy.
One side sought to fight, but the other side avoided fighting, so the two sides were on the front line of Leping, forming a confrontation.
Winter has turned into winter in the blink of an eye, and the confrontation between the two sides has lasted for two months.
In two months, Dong Zhuo attacked several times, but was repelled by Zhang Yuan.
Seeing that the hard attack failed, Dong Zhuo issued a war letter to Zhang Yuan many times, and his words were extremely inferior, wanting to induce Zhang Yuan to take the initiative to attack.
Zhang Yuan has always been calm, but he just doesn't fight.
Dong Zhuo quickly failed, and gradually fell into a dilemma.
……
On that day, in the south of Leping City, Zhang Jun's horn camp.
In the big tent, Zhang Yuan warmed up around the stove, leisurely tasting the good wine being boiled in the furnace, and the thick aroma of wine filled the big tent.
The cold wind got into the tent, his face was red from the cold, he lifted the curtain, shivered into the tent, and threw himself into the fire by the stove in a few days, and kept muttering "Freeze me to death".
"Drunkard, the wine just delivered, do you want a glass to warm up." Zhang Yuan pointed to the flask on the stove and smiled.
Gao Gong's nose sniffed deeply, and his eyes burst into gluttony in an instant, and he drank without saying a word, and after a few glasses of wine, the cold air dissipated, and he couldn't help but shout comfort.
"I said high drunkard, it's freezing this day, if you don't stay in the tent, you shouldn't have come to beg for a drink because you smelled the smell of my wine?" Zhang Yuan laughed and teased.
"My lord, this is wronging me......"
Gao Gong looked aggrieved, "I haven't slept well for a few days, I drank several gourd wines, and finally came up with a plan to force Dong Zhuo back, so I rushed to see the lord." ”
Forcing back Dong Zhuo's plan!
Zhang Yuan's eyes moved, and he was suddenly in high spirits.
In fact, Zhang Yuan was unwilling to stalemate with Dong Zhuo any longer.
In the south, there are two enemies, Yuan Shu and Liu Bao, who have not been eliminated, and the rear has not been cleared, Zhang Yuan is unwilling, and he does not have the strength to compete with Dong Zhuo for the Central Plains.
Moreover, the great enemy of all the princes is not only a threat to Dong Zhuo, but also to Zhang Yuan.
You must know that not long ago, he castrated the eldest prince of Yuan and forced all the princes back, with the character of the father and son of the Yuan family, how could he let himself go.
Therefore, he didn't want to spend his precious troops and time on dealing with Dong Zhuo, if he could force Dong Zhuo back, it would naturally be the best.
"Drunkard, I didn't waste this good wine, what is the trick, don't say it quickly." Zhang Yuan urged excitedly.
Gao Gong poured another big sip of wine, and Fang smiled and said: "Actually, with our current strength, it is no problem to hold Leping, but it is very difficult to repel Dong Zhuo, since we can't defeat Dong Zhuo, then there is only one way to let Dong Zhuo take the initiative to retreat." ”
Let Dong Zhuo take the initiative to withdraw from the army......
Zhang Yuan's thoughts turned rapidly, and he gradually understood.
"How to let Dong Zhuo retreat without a fight, that's simple, that is, let Dong Zhuo's backyard catch fire, and encounter greater trouble than us, let him retreat if he doesn't retreat, the lord thinks about it, where is the fire will force Dong Zhuo to retreat?"
Gao Gong didn't finish speaking, and looked at Zhang Yuan with a sly smile, as if he wanted to test Zhang Yuan's insight.
Zhang Yuan looked at Gao Gong's smirk, his thoughts were tumbling like electricity, and a place name suddenly flashed in his mind:
Changan.
That's right, it's Chang'an.
Now Dong Zhuo's biggest advantage is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, is the trump card of the trump card.
The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an again, once Chang'an is threatened, even if Zhang Yuan sleeps with Dong Zhuo's mother, Dong Zhuo can only endure it and rush back to save Chang'an.
Chang'an is a place with plenty of grain and grass and good feng shui, but unfortunately it has a fatal weakness - too close to Liangzhou.
And Liangzhou is the territory of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and Ma Teng is Han Sui's ally, these two joined forces, and they just defeated Dong Zhuo once last year.
"Okay, you drunkard, do you think it's hard to defeat me, do you want Han Sui to send troops to threaten Chang'an from Liangzhou, and force Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops to save him." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
Gao Gong smiled and gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up, "The lord is really smart, he really understands everything." ”
This sycophant shot Zhang Yuan sourly, and suddenly his eyes suddenly brightened.
Han Sui and Ma Teng, there are at least 80,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and Ma Teng is the Xiliang Army, brave and fierce in battle, if these two people send troops to Chang'an, they can indeed pose a great threat to Dong Zhuo, and he must be saved.
"Well, yes, yes, drunkard, you can't use this strategy, you can force Dong Zhuo back without spending a single soldier, this is the best strategy." Zhang Yuan nodded again and again.
Gao Gong sighed again: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, that's what I said, it's just that Zhang Xiu is brave and unscrupulous, and Liu Biao is short-sighted, if you want the two of you to send troops, you have to have a lobbyist with a three-inch tongue, but under the lord's command, there doesn't seem to be such a person who can speak well."
