Jin, the main hall of the Taishou Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yuan was drinking a little wine, listening to the latest information about all parts of the world.

In Liangzhou, the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan has entered the final decisive battle of Songtou.

Gongsun Zhan, who had been defeated repeatedly and was disheartened, had lost the opportunity to fight for Yizhou, so he could only occupy the two counties first, trying to defend himself according to the danger, so as to wait for the world to change.

Yuan Shao seized the time to rectify Yizhou, intended to recuperate, and accumulate strength for the unification of Hebei.

Gongsun Zhan's defeat to such an extent was naturally expected by Zhang Yuan.

Although Yuan Shao is portrayed as a mediocre man in the romance, he is actually extremely capable, which can be seen from the previous meeting, pressed by Zhang Yuan's words, but he was able to make concessions in order to take care of the overall situation.

Once Yuan Shao unifies Yizhou, the next step will inevitably be south, and it will be a huge threat to Dong Zhuo and himself at that time.

However, at the moment, with his strength, he could not stop Yuan Shao from swallowing Hebei, but half of Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses were transferred, but it relieved the pressure on the north of Bingzhou, which was also a good thing for him.

As for the direction of Huainan, Liu Bao led the remnants to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was really very protective of him, and did not pay him military power, but only allocated him a few thousand old and weak, and ordered him to garrison Suiling and guard the courtyard for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu had no generals under his command, and if he didn't reuse Liu Bao, he would not be able to attack and merge the state on a large scale, and the threat from the south was temporarily alleviated.

The news of these two roads is of course a good thing for Zhang Yuan.

After several wars in a row, the people suffered from the scourge of war, and the economy was hit hard, and what Zhang Yuan needed most urgently was a short-term peace to allow him to appease the people and restore farming.

Only when the economy recovers can he have a strong enough backing to compete with the world's heroes.

"A few days ago, Dong Zhuo, in the name of the world, reprimanded Yuan Shu for being unsubordinate, and the army gathered in Peiguo, threatening to wave his army south, seize Huainan, and destroy Yuan Shu."

When this last piece of information was read out, Zhang Yuan, who had been idle, looked slightly shocked.

Dong Zhuo wants to attack Yuan Shu

Peiguo is not only adjacent to Huainan, but also adjacent to Jincheng State controlled by Zhang Yuan, and Li's army is gathering on the front line of Peiguo, how can it not arouse his vigilance.

Moreover, not long ago, Dong Zhuo had just sent Wang Hui to invade Jincheng and wanted to intervene in Bingzhou.

"Yuan Shu was defeated by us several times, lost his troops and lost his generals, his strength declined, and he was extremely arrogant in Huainan, making the people unhappy, complaining, and it was rumored that he got the heirloom jade seal of the Sun family, there are rumors that he wants to be the emperor, Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it seems that it is a good time to crusade against Yuan Shu at this time."

Yang Zhi, who was transferred back from the northern front, also expressed his opinion at this moment, among the military generals, Wei Zudi and Yang Zhi were quite resourceful and could often counsel military aircraft.

"Dong Zhuo's extermination of Yuan Shu is nothing, but after he exterminates Yuan, he will form a semi-encirclement of us from the west and south, which seems to be unfavorable to us." Cheng Chu, a resourceful man, had a different view from Yang Zhi, and saw the crisis from it.

In the lobby, the relaxed atmosphere gradually dissipated, and because of this unexpected piece of information, it quickly became solemn.

"Ahem"

A soft cough came from the corner, disrupting the solemn atmosphere.

Gao Gong, who was originally shaking his head and tasting the wine, smiled playfully at this time: "Dong Zhuo is the second largest prince in the world, and now that Yuan Shao is about to unify Hebei, it is inevitable that he will win or lose with Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop when he goes south in the future." And Bingzhou is close to the hinterland of the Central Plains, with Dong Zhuo's knowledge, will he allow Bingzhou to have a force that threatens him before starting a war with Yuan Shao?"

A word woke everyone up.

Gao Gong's words also hit Zhang Yuan's heart, making him nod slightly.

"Yes, no matter whether Dong Zhuo destroys Yuan Shu or not, it is imperative for him to start a war with us, he will let us and the state not attack first, but he will first destroy Yuan Shu with great fanfare, this move is very suspicious." Zhang Yuan was already suspicious.

Gao Gong took a sip of wine and sneered: "The lord is so smart, can't you see it, in fact, for Dong Zhuo, the biggest threat at present is the lord, not Yuan Shu, he let the lord not attack, but he wants to attack Yuan Shu with great fanfare, I'm afraid, this is a trick to repair the plank road, Mingdu Chen Cang's trick."

The mystery of Gao Gong's smile is hidden in his words.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered, his sword eyebrows froze, and a trace of realization swept in his eagle eyes.

"Sound from east to west!"

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, and simply said four words.

In the lobby, Yang Zhi and other civil and military officers all changed their expressions, and an inexplicable chill quickly spread in the hall.

Dong Zhuo used his troops to be cunning, if he really wanted to destroy Yuan Shu, he could secretly gather soldiers and horses and kill Yuan Shu by surprise.

Now he is making a big deal and threatening to attack Huainan, but he is not afraid of startling the snake, so that Yuan Shu has already taken precautions, and he is obviously not familiar with the art of war.

As long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to see Dong Zhuo's true purpose.

After thinking about everything, Zhang Yuan sneered, "This Dong Zhongying, really deceitful, gathered troops and horses to the front line of Peiguo in the name of conquering Yuan Shu, called attacking Yuan Shu, but in fact, he wanted to kill me by surprise, enough yin." ”

Yang Zhi and Fan Lihua had already guessed a few points, but when Zhang Yuan personally broke it, there was a burst of discussion.

If Dong Zhuo gathered troops and horses in Peiguo for no reason, he would inevitably attract Zhang Yuan's attention, thinking that he was going to invade Bingzhou, and he would naturally increase his troops to Jincheng.

Jincheng is a dangerous place, once there are enough soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo wants to attack it, and he will have to pay a heavy price.

The use of troops is surprising, and the greatest victory is achieved at the least cost, this has always been Dong Zhuo's style of using troops, and forcibly attacking the fortified city is naturally not what Dong Zhuo wants to see.

Therefore, in the name of attacking Yuan Shu, he raised troops and horses on the front line of Peiguo, but he didn't want to cause Zhang Yuan's precautions and not to send additional troops and horses to Jincheng.

Then, Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops will suddenly enter the state and capture Jincheng in one fell swoop.

If Jincheng is lost, the gateway to the state will be opened, and Dong Zhuo's army will drive straight into the hinterland of the state.

In terms of soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo can mobilize an army of 40,000 or 50,000, and in terms of military generals, there are tiger generals such as Lu Bu, Li Yu, and Zhang Ji, and in terms of strategy, there are Jia Xu, Li Ru, and other Wang Zuozhi, whose strength is far better than that of Liu Bao and Wang Hui.

Once Dong Zhuo is allowed to successfully enter the hinterland of the state, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Dong Zhuo's plan to attack the west is really yin." Yang Zhi exclaimed.

Everyone was shocked and shocked, but Gao Gong was the only one who shook the wine gourd and tasted the good wine with a smile.

After the mood was subdued, Yang Zhi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord, since we have seen through Dong Zhuo's tricks, we naturally can't help but guard against it, it is better to immediately increase troops to General Zu and strengthen the Shouhui of Jincheng." ”

Zhang Yuan's ability to command Zu Di's troops is naturally a hundred reassuring, but the enemy he is facing now is not Liu Bao, nor Wang Hui, but Dong Zhuo, a strong man who has an absolute advantage in the wisdom and force of soldiers and horses, Zu Di only has 4,000 soldiers and horses, and if he wants to hold Jincheng, he can't rest assured that he can't say anything.

Zhang Yuan immediately ordered Yang Zhi to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to immediately set off from Jin, and went to reinforce Jincheng under the starry night.
