Chapter 1685: Yumen Pass (Ask for Subscription)
No matter how strong a person is in his hands, don't be arrogant, maybe someone who was not worth mentioning in your eyes in the past will become a fatal existence, from Chen Ying's body, Lu Bu learned these things.
Regardless of whether Chen Ying dies or not, Dunhuang must be occupied, and now Dunhuang has become a relatively important county in Liangzhou, and the people of Dunhuang are not comparable to Zhangye and Jiuquan in terms of quantity.
"Lord, if Chen Ying is dead, if you want to occupy Dunhuang, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." Guo Jiadao.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "What worries Ben Hou the most is the Yumen Pass, if Dong Wu seeks reinforcements from the countries of the Western Regions, then the Yumen Pass will be in danger." ”
"Dong Wu is Han after all, and he won't do this easily until he has to." Pang Tong said.
"From Dong Wu's behavior, it can be seen that this is a person who does not compromise means to achieve his goal, if he is defeated in Dunhuang, how will he choose, sit back or seek reinforcements, since he knows that Chen Ying has taken refuge in this king, and then killed Chen Ying, he is ready to break with this king." Lu Budao.
"In the opinion of his subordinates, he can send elite soldiers to rush to Yumen Pass, as long as Yumen Pass is controlled in the hands of the lord, then Dong Wu and others are the turtles in the urn." Li Ru said slowly.
"Wen You's words are yes, Yumen Pass cannot afford to be lost, Zhang He, you lead three thousand soldiers and rush to Yumen Pass overnight, it is best to convince the guards in the pass." Lu Budao: "The guard of Yumen Pass is Chen Ying's hand, and there is a great possibility that the persuasion will be successful. ”
"Whoa." Zhang He hugged his fists, and Lu Bu's last sentence was clearly telling him that this is to give credit, as a military general, there is no dislike for those who have more credit.
"Lord, although Dunhuang is not called the city high and deep, but the defenders in the city have 8,000 people, not eager to break through, if the lord sends the generals under his command, the rest of the counties of Dunhuang will be controlled in the hands first, so that Dunhuang becomes a lonely city, so that the defenders in the city will be panicked after learning about it, and it is difficult to have high morale after facing the lord's army." Pang Tong said.
Lu Bu thought for a while, and then agreed, even if he was worried about the situation in Dunhuang, it was a little difficult to take Dunhuang from Dong Wu's hands at present, Dong Wu had been in Dunhuang for many years, and he had a certain ability, otherwise Chen Ying would not have died in the hands of Dong Wu, and after controlling the counties of Dunhuang in his hands, the situation could be greatly changed.
When the rest of Dunhuang's counties were under Dong Wu's control, the defenders in the city felt a sense of reassurance, but when these cities fell into the hands of the enemy, they felt completely different
When Dunhuang became an isolated city, would the defenders in the city still have such high fighting spirit as they do now, unless they were soldiers who were absolutely loyal to Dong Wu, otherwise, they had to consider their own safety, including the families in the city.
The family is afraid of Lu Bu, but in the face of real life and death, they often have no more choice, when the gap between the strength of the two sides is too big, they have to make such a choice, just like the family in Jizhou gave in to Lu Bu, not that they are willing to do this, but if they don't choose this way, they will be in danger of their lives.
The strength of the family is strong, and they still value their own lives.
Zhao Yun led an army of 3,000 people, after coming to Dunhuang, he directly set up camp outside the city, there were 8,000 defenders in the city, what he had to do was to investigate the news of Dunhuang while taking precautions, and prepare for the attack on Dunhuang after the arrival of the army.
There are only 3,000 enemy troops outside the city, so that Dong Wu has an idea, he is the captain in the army, but before Dunhuang had Chen Ying, so that he did not have much prestige in the army, but now the opportunity is coming, he has been in charge of the army for a short time, if he can win the battle against the army under Lu Bu, he will definitely be able to enhance his prestige in the army, and some generals who still have ideas about Chen Ying will naturally throw themselves into themselves.
Dong Wu thought that he still had some martial arts, and he was not bad in strategy, if he defeated Zhao Yun, the benefits he received would be huge, and in the face of such temptation, Dong Wu decided to fight.
However, Dong Wu still decided to discuss this matter with Zhao Lu, after all, Zhao Lu was the Taishou of Dunhuang at this time.
After listening to Dong Wu's words, Zhao Lu was silent for a long time and said, "General Dong, do you know why Chen Ying turned to the King of Jin instead of relying on the strength of the city to confront the King of Jin. ”
"Why?" Dong Wu couldn't help asking, when Chen Ying was in the city, his influence in the city was naturally not comparable to Dong Wu at this time, at that time, only one order from Chen Ying was needed to let the soldiers in the city follow Chen Ying to fight to the end.
"It's not that Chen Ying doesn't want to fight against the King of Jin, but the strength of the army under the command of the King of Jin is too strong, otherwise, how can the King of Jin defeat the powerful Qiang army." Zhao Lu said.
Dong Wu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Even if the strength of the army under the account of the King of Jin is strong, the strength of the Dunhuang army is not weak, and the enemy army outside the city is only 3,000 people, if these 3,000 people can be defeated, it will definitely be able to shake the King of Jin, and with the morale of our army high, it will not be difficult to hold Dunhuang." ”
Zhao Lu said: "General Dong do what he can, now the lives of the families in the city are under the control of General Dong, what kind of situation will be faced after the defeat, presumably General Dong knows." ”
After speaking, Zhao Lu said goodbye and left, and now although he is the nominal Taishou of Dunhuang, the power in the city is in the hands of Dong Wu, and the military power is very important for Dunhuang at this time.
After thinking about it for a long time, Dong Wu still decided to fight hard, if he succeeded, the benefits that could be brought to Dong Wu were too many, and it was difficult for him to resist such a temptation.
The defeat of the vanguard army of the Han army made Dong Wu have more expectations.
After the scouts came the news of the vanguard army outside the city, Dong Wu's heart was a lot easier, judging from the news of the scouts, the enemy army outside the city was not very strict in defense, and even a little lax, although there were hundreds of cavalry among them, and there were thousands of cavalry in Dunhuang City, with a thousand cavalry enough to entangle these cavalry, and then the army rushed to kill, defeated Zhao Yun Isn't it a very simple thing.
However, Dong Wu didn't plan to do so much, since the enemy was at such a disadvantage, if he could achieve a hearty victory, the impact on the city would inevitably be greater.
