Chapter 174: Planning

Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The night was deep and the brightly lit lobby was dry, but Dong Zhuo couldn't sleep, and he was looking at the latest information sent from Bingzhou in his hand over and over again.

Liu Bao was defeated, Jin was besieged, and Zhang Yuanwei was shocked and annexed to the state.

Dong Zhuo played with the information in his hand, looked at it again and again, and after confirming it repeatedly, he believed that he was not dazzled.

"Zhang Yuan, this kid, actually defeated Liu Bao, it's a bit unexpected......" Dong Zhuo muttered to himself, a hint of surprise flashing in his sunken eyes.

He knew how powerful the Hun cavalry was.

He was not afraid of the chest cavalry, but he was jealous of Liu Bao in his heart, knowing how difficult it was for this group of people on horseback to deal with.

What he didn't expect was that in the case of an absolute advantage, he was defeated by Zhang Yuan, a newly rising outlier.

"Wen He, it's rare that you made a mistake in judgment this time, it seems that this Zhang Yuan is stronger than Liu Bao." Dong Zhuo looked at the weak young man in front of the steps, but there was no resentment in his tone.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Jia Xu covered his mouth and coughed a few times, a little ashamed appeared on his haggard face, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Xu is just evaluating the strength and weakness of the two according to the process of the battle between the lord and Liu Bao back then, it seems that after this battle, Xu really wants to re-evaluate this Zhang Yuan." ā€

Dong Zhuo also smiled, and suddenly, his expression became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yang once participated in the alliance, although the old thief died, this blood debt should be borne by his son, in public and private, Lone can't tolerate Zhang Yuan taking the state, Lone must take some means to meddle in the dispute of the state." ā€

The voice fell, Li Ru said: "Wang Hui repeatedly asked for war before, and wanted to lead the army to seize the annexed state, Yu thought, why didn't the lord let Wang Hui enter Xiaopei, and use Wang Hui's influence in the annexed state, so that he could recruit troops and horses, clamp down on Zhang Yuan, and make it impossible for him to encircle Jin with all his might." At that time, the merger of states will form a three-legged trend, so that the three of them will consume each other, contain each other, and when we draw our senses, we will reap the benefits of the fishermen and take the merger of states in one fell swoop. ā€

Hearing Li Ru's advice, Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, thinking deeply.

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Xu Guan Wang Hui is a hero, with the ambition of a tiger and a wolf, the lord must not reuse this person, according to his opinion, it is better to get rid of him early to prevent future troubles." ā€

As he spoke, Jia Xu raised his hand to make a knife, slashed it fiercely between his neck, and made a head-killing motion.

Dong Zhuo was silent and thoughtful.

Li Ru's expression changed, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Wang Hui is indeed a masterpiece, but he came to defect when he was poor, if the lord killed him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the heroes and heroes in the world, who would dare to come to the lord again in the future."

"It makes sense."

Dong Zhuo nodded again, and the trace of killing intent in his heart flashed, and he broke off his heart to kill Wang Hui.

At that moment, Dong Zhuo ordered the drafting of the holy decree, and appointed Wang Hui as the Taishou of Yu in the name of the Son of Heaven, and led an army of 3,000 into Xiaopei, in the name of mediating the battle between Zhang Yuan and Liu Bao, and wantonly marched into the state.

Dong Zhuo's decision has been decided, and there is nothing wrong with the overall situation, Jia Xu is not easy to persuade him, so he retired with Li Ru.

There was no one in the hall, and silence returned.

Dong Zhuo stood up, dipped his pen in ink, and came to a hall pillar.

A ranking word has been written on the column, the first one is Yuan Shao, and then Liu Bao, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shu, each of which is a world-famous prince.

Staring at those names for a long time, Dong Zhuo took a light breath and wrote the word "Zhang Yuan" with a pen.

……

East of Jincheng, Zhang Jun's camp.

In the brightly lit tent, Zhang Yuan and his military generals were discussing a plan to break the city overnight.

Yuan Shu withdrew south from Shouchun, the pressure on the south dropped sharply, and Zhang Yuan was able to transfer nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses from Ran Min to Xiatan, so that the number of the besieging army reached 17,000, and it can be said that the situation is getting better and better for him.

But today, the latest information sent from Sizhou made Zhang Yuan vigilant.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo can't see that I have taken all the state, and sent our old friend back to stir up this troubled water, we have to think about how to break through Jincheng quickly." Zhang Yuan sneered and threw the information in his hand on the case.

Although Jincheng is not a strong city in the world, the city defense is also quite strong, and there are 4,000 soldiers in the city, if you want to attack it, you must rush to make a large number of siege equipment.

There is no problem in manufacturing siege equipment, Zhang Yuan has a "craftsman ancestor" like Mo Zhai, and what kind of powerful siege weapons can't be made.

But whether it is to build equipment or to conquer Jin, it takes a lot of time.

The current situation is that Dong Zhuo, in the name of the Son of Heaven, has named Wang Hui as Yu Taishou, allocated him 3,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered him to enter Xiaopei.

Dong Zhuo's move was clearly to use Wang Hui's remaining influence in Bingzhou to clamp him down, prevent him from conquering Jin, defeat Liu Bao, and take all the annexes.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan must take Jincheng before Wang Hui summons troops and has enough strength to fight back to the state again.

In the big tent, all the civil and military officers frowned, thinking hard about how to break the city.

"What's so difficult about breaking through Jin quickly, I have a plan, I can easily win Jin without a single soldier." In a period of contemplation, Gao Gong shook the wine gourd and shook his head to say this.

Not a single soldier!

What a big breath.

Zhang Yuan's spirits perked up, and when he was about to ask him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something, so he smiled and said: "High drunkard, you don't want me to break Surabaya, right?" ā€

"The lord is smart, you have guessed this, that's right, my plan for the drunkard is to break Surabaya and flood Jin." Gao Gong's eyes flashed with appreciation.

Sure enough, this is the plan.

The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth also raised a cold smirk.

Jincheng is located in the hinterland of Bingzhou, with convenient water and land, and Surabaya in the south, which is the largest water system in Bingzhou.

Of course, Zhang Yuan will not forget that in history, when Dong Zhuo destroyed Liu Bao, he used Jia Xu's strategy to break Surabaya to flood Jin, and finally forced Liu Bao's army in the city to have civil strife and take Jin without a fight.

How similar is the situation today to that year, with Dong Zhuo's ready-made successful examples in front, after Gao Gong reminded him, with Zhang Yuan's ability to know history, how could he not think of this plan.

After a few "snaps", Zhang Yuan said happily: "Dong Zhuo wants to support Wang Hui to save Liu Bao, and if he doesn't want me to take all the states, I want to let his wishful thinking come to naught, so I use the drunkard's plan to flood the West River!" (To be continued.) )
