"Report ......"

"Report to the state pastor, a large number of traces of enemy troop movements have been found ahead." The scout in the distance sped quickly, turned over and dismounted.

"Which enemy number? How much is the approximate amount? He Chen's eyes flashed, and his tone was steady.

"The leader of the army is the enemy general Guo Yan, about tens of thousands of horses. No large number of horseshoe prints were found, and the traces of the wheels were very light. ”

Guo Yan? He Chen groaned. Dong Zhuo drove millions of Luoyang people, accompanied by thousands of jewels and military vehicles, plus nearly 200,000 soldiers, like moving ants, endlessly, end to end for hundreds of miles. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, in order to prevent changes, led 50,000 elites in Guanzhong, and first forced Emperor Xian to return to Chang'an, and ordered Lu Bu to lead 50,000 horses to Xingyang to block the princes' pursuits. Among them, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law's confidant and favorite general, so he commanded tens of thousands of troops and mortgaged more than 1,000 cars and treasures; Fan Chou and Li Su were lieutenant generals, each leading thousands of elite soldiers to escort the left and right sides, Guo Yan and Li Stubborn were generals, and nearly 10,000 soldiers escorted the people; And Li Meng was the overseer of hundreds of officials and went on the road together. As for Li Xuan, now that he is at the back, it should be Niu Fu who specially prevented himself from chasing the soldiers along the way after receiving the news.

"Is there any movement in He Man?"

"Returning to Zhoumu, General He avoided fighting with Li Xuan's main force, but he tore up several battles with the opponent's small troops, and all of them won. It's just that Li urged his troops to have a large number of generals, and General He didn't dare to make any changes, so he could only bite and follow closely behind, waiting for the order of the state pastor. ”

This He Man really knows how to use soldiers, and he is a valuable reuse talent.

"Revisit." He Chen waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"No." The scout collected his horse from the new and slipped away.

He Chen looked back at the generals on the left and right and said: "Whether this trip can make a contribution or not depends entirely on whether it can disperse Li Xuan's army. It's just that most of our sergeants are newly recruited, and the training is very short, and it is precisely because Li urged himself to follow Dong Zhuo to raise troops, fight in the south and west, and be brave and good at fighting, and his subordinate soldiers are even more elite. If our army wants to defeat the enemy, what good plan can the generals have? ”

Behind him, Wen Ping said loudly: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, and since the scouts have not found a large number of hoof prints, it means that Guo Yan's lead must be a foot soldier in Guanzhong." The Guanzhong infantry is no less brave than the Xiliang cavalry, and our army cannot be defeated, so it can only be outwitted. ”

He Chen nodded casually, and said a little heavily: "What Zhong Ji said is extremely true, but I don't know how to use it?" ”

The generals didn't have a good way for a while, they were all silent, thinking hard.

Only Deng Zhi looked calm, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

He Chen's heart moved, the frown on his face dispersed, and Lang said with a smile: "Bo Miao is confident, he must have a good plan, don't come quickly." ”

Deng Zhi leaned slightly, then stroked his beard, and said with a calm expression: "My subordinates have an idea, whether it is feasible or not depends on the judgment of the lord." ”

After a pause, Deng Zhi saw that He Chen was listening carefully, but instead he sold the guanzi and asked He Chen, "I don't know what the purpose of the lord's trip is?" Kill Dong Zhuo? Or save the Son of Heaven? Or is it ......? ”

He Chen looked at Deng Zhi's somewhat narrow eyes, and knew that this guy also saw through the little Jiujiu in his heart, and couldn't help but be angry. He said angrily: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it." ”

Deng Zhi's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "With the current strength of the lord, if you want to defeat Li Xuan's tens of thousands of troops, it is feasible if you make a good promise." Just want to kill Dong Zhuo and rescue the saint again, to put it mildly, it is really difficult to climb to the sky. But if you just want to avoid Li Xuan and accomplish other ulterior goals, it is extremely simple. ”

What is an ulterior purpose? Isn't this clearly saying that he wants to fish in troubled waters and rob while the fire is hot? He Chen thought a little depressed, he thought that things were done quite secretly, and in the end, it seemed that everyone knew their wolf ambitions.

Deng Zhi continued: "The subordinates thought that they could give full play to General He Man's talents and try their best to hold off Li Xuan's troops for three or five days. ”

Ho Man's talent? He Chen involuntarily opened the system to inquire about the special surname.

He Man: Good at heads-up, marching formation, and has special experience in mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare.

I said, even Lao Mao's guerrilla warfare came out, obviously this guy was used to the way when the enemy advanced and retreated, and I chased the enemy when he retreated. This guy is so full of the spirit of the times, and it really wins my heart. When He Chen was refreshed, Deng Zhi continued: "The lord can completely ignore Li Xuan, take a shortcut to catch up with the front, take a bite towards the target, and then evacuate decisively." At that time, millions of people on the way were natural obstacles, and it was not so easy for the Guanzhong army to chase them, right? ”

Say.

The generals of Wancheng, including He Chen, all gasped, and looked at Deng Zhi with strange eyes. It's not that Deng Zhi's method is so good, the key is that this guy is new to the city, he doesn't show the mountains, he doesn't show water, and suddenly he has such a poisonous trick, which can stop everyone. One of the most vicious is to use millions of people to build a great wall for themselves. It is conceivable that the people who are always worried about the butcher's knife falling on their backs at any time suddenly find that a large group of people and horses have rushed to kill, and shout loudly that you are liberated, you are free, you run fast and so on. Ants still steal life, let alone flesh and blood? Once the people really riot, the fun will be great, it will be a million bases, even if they stand and let the Guanzhong army cut it, it is estimated that it will take a few days and nights. They were really determined to flee for their lives, and with the Wancheng soldiers instigating and taking the lead, it was estimated that the entire Guanzhong army defense line would be broken down and turned into a pot of porridge. When the time comes, He Chenhuo will take millet and win in chaos, everything will be possible. Just this plan is poisonous, and on the way to escape for their lives, a large number of people will definitely die under the butcher's knife.

He Chen was dumbfounded, Deng Zhi was an upright person in history, he never thought that he would come up with such a poisonous plan, and his ruthlessness was definitely no less than Jia Xu, the number one poisoner in the Three Kingdoms. No wonder Mencius said early on that it is better to believe in books than to have no books. It seems that the historical records are also a little inaccurate.

Deng Zhi put everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, it has been a king who has become a king, and among the kings of the past dynasties, that one is the benevolence of a woman, who has not stepped on countless corpses and bones to reach the top?" Those who achieve great things should be informal. ”

Before He Chen could speak, Wen Ping on the side said angrily: "Deng Zhi, what kind of bad idea did you come up with, the state pastor fought to the death several times, and finally earned his current reputation, do you want to destroy it in one fell swoop and provoke the people of the world to blame and scold?" ”

Deng Zhi let out a long laugh and sneered with a sneer: "Pedant people, if this plan is successful, although a few people will lose their surnames, more people will flee from the front of the army." At that time, these living people are afraid that they will be more grateful to the state pastor for saving their lives, sing praises and virtues, and spread them by word of mouth, so that the reputation of the lord will be even higher. Could it be that General Wen thought that after these people arrived in Chang'an, they would be able to live better? Superficial opinion, ridiculous! The first emperor surrounded the Great Wall and built the Emperor; Xiao He built Changle, Gao Zu increased the light, which one is not full of blood and bones, and the corpses are like mountains? Xiaguan can use Xiang Shang's head to bet that after these people arrive in Chang'an, they will rebuild the palace and strengthen the fortress, and at that time, they will live more hard and die more miserable. ”

Deng Zhi's words, the generals were speechless, and the scene was extremely cold, knowing that he was telling the truth, but his heart was uncomfortable.

Deng Zhi sighed and said leisurely: "If you want to be a hero or a hero, it's all in the mind of the lord." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at He Chen in unison, seeing how he made a choice.

In the blink of an eye, He Chen thought of countless possibilities. What is the purpose of my expedition? To be clear, it's about robbing people! Grab the money! Grab the turf! As long as the goal can be achieved, what does it matter if the means are more vicious? Deng Zhi's idea is actually very much to his liking, because he is originally this person.

As for reputation, hum, as long as the people in the mansion are well fed and clothed, and the soldiers fight hard, are you afraid that you will not have a reputation? Thinking of this, He Chen decisively ordered: "Just do what Mr. Deng wants, but within the scope of your ability, you must protect the lives of the people." ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and various thoughts in everyone's hearts came one after another.

In troubled times, as long as the heroes don't want heroes.

The former can not only survive, but also build immortal achievements; And the latter, most of them are spokesmen for pathos.

Since He Chen has given the order, the generals will immediately implement it.

He Chen led 12,000 soldiers, avoided the intersection of Li Xuan's main force, crossed Luoning County from the side, and then went straight to Hongnong County.

Hongnong County, adjacent to Yanjing Luoyang in the east, connected with Nanyang in the south by Funiu Mountain, looking at the ancient city of Chang'an in the west, and echoing with the Sanjin Dynasty across the Yellow River in the north, has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

When He Chen arrived here, he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, and then he was full of anger.

On the official road that cannot be seen at a glance, there are dense figures shaking. Hundreds of people were like domestic herdsmen, strung together by ropes, all unclothed, tattered, like savages, stumbling and stumbling between movements. From time to time, Overseers rode by, bringing up a cloud of dust. If you are not in a good mood or someone stumbles slightly, you will stop and whip and insult them, and if you can't get rid of your hatred, you will directly raise the knife and drop it with the knife, and then throw the body on the side of the road and become a lonely ghost. If they fail to take their property and keep it for themselves......

There are also soldiers surnamed Dafa, crying and scolding, just drag the women out of the ranks, everywhere to annihilate the silver for fun, if there are disobedient, directly slap their heads, cut their **, violent corpses aside, the scene is bloody and violent, unbearable.

The Guanzhong soldiers who galloped behind occasionally stopped their horses, laughed loudly and watched, and rode away.

This kind of tragic and inhumane picture has been stretching for dozens of miles.

The sky in Hongnong County was full of weeping and mourning. The smell of blood was all in the air.

Human life is trampled on like a fight, and it is better to be cheap than a pig and a dog. All the Wancheng soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes were full of fire, they clenched their teeth tightly, and they held their weapons with all their might, eager to rush out immediately and cut down these dogs.

People can die, but it's definitely not that way.
