At noon, the scorching day was in full swing, but it was only January at this time, and although it was the scorching day, it could not offset the bleak cold wind.

No, under the fierce words, the snow on the ground has not melted at all, so it can be seen that it is cold at this time.

However, even in such cold weather, among the Goguryeo army of Gaimasan, there was a general with a bare backbone, waiting to be punished.

The soldier who carried out the execution whispered, "General, you bear with it, a hundred lashes will pass quickly." ”

The corners of the Goguryeo general's mouth twitched when he heard this, what does it mean that a hundred lashes will pass quickly? Yes, so-and-so will soon return to the West!

At this time, a soldier on the side shouted, "The commander of the Northern Route Army, fearing the enemy like a tiger, caused the army to be defeated, and his crime should be punished. ”

It turned out that the person who was executed was the commander of the Goguryeo Northern Route Army who withdrew from outside Changqing City, although the commander of the Goguryeo North Route Army saved the lives of most of the soldiers with his retreat, leaving a large number of battleable divisions for Goguryeo.

However, the commander of Goguryeo did not show his merits, but ordered punishment, because he did not capture Changqing and withdrew his troops without authorization, which is a fact.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

"Hmmm! Hum! Well! ”

In the blink of an eye, the executioner was whipped forty lashes, and the commander of the Goguryeo Northern Route Army could still hold back a silent word when he started.

However, as soon as the thirty lashes passed, he could not bear it anymore and could not help crying out.

In a tent not far from here, the Goguryeo boss watched this scene silently, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "I'm sorry, at this time, I can only take you under the knife, and I know that you are trying to save my Goguryeo strength." ”

"But have you thought about it, at this time, there are only a few cities left in the country of Wofu, and they can't give me any threat to Goguryeo, but the king does not continue to attack, but attacks Hanzhou?"

"It's just that the king is old, and the sorrow of being away from his homeland, he has no more years to live.

"And the king's own brother also died here, these are the reasons why we can't leave the army! If you don't punish you, I'm afraid you won't live for a month! ”

It turns out that the Goguryeo coach is also bitter and can't say it! This is the heavy task of returning to the homeland, which not everyone is willing to bear, especially if the opponent is a behemoth like the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo on Gaima Mountain was also depressed, "Bastard, who let him go out and attack at night!" ”

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "General, Wentai himself has to go, if it weren't for his night attack, the Goguryeo army suspended the offensive for a while, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for the arrival of the general!" ”

Hearing this, the anger on Dong Zhuo's face disappeared a little, plus the buffer of the night attack, Gaima Mountain almost fell, it can be said that if this Dong Zhuo came half a day later, Gaima Mountain would definitely fall.

This made Dong Zhuo value Sun Jian more than one point in the night attack, but this great hero never returned after the night attack.

Dong Zhuo groaned slightly, and asked, "Didn't the scout still find out the whereabouts of Wentai?" ”

Zhang Ji hurriedly replied, "After a radius of fifty miles, Wentai was not found, but the scouts are sure that Wentai is still alive." ”

"Why is that?"

Zhang Ji said with a strange face, "Because the scouts of Goguryeo and the army of nearly 10,000 are also looking for Wentai, and they are looking for it day and night, although I don't know why, but it can be seen that Wentai is not dead." ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo got up and turned around twice in the same place, and said, "I think it was Wentai who killed the senior generals of Goguryeo when he attacked the camp, otherwise Goguryeo would not be so crazy, after all, Wentai is only a few hundred people, and it is not worth using nearly 10,000 troops to find it." ”

Zhang Ji nodded, and then asked with a little question, "General, are there any important people in the Goguryeo army?" ”

Dong Zhuo knew what Zhang Ji meant, if he was a general, as long as he was not the commander, he would basically not stimulate the enemy army to make such a crazy move.

However, if the commander was killed, then the Goguryeo army would have retreated a long time ago, so how could they do such an action?

As for the possibility of the Goguryeo coach being injured, both of them chose to forget their surnames, because as long as a commander can give orders, if he is injured or not, it will have little impact on the battle situation.

After thinking for a while, the two who still couldn't figure it out didn't want to think about it, Dong Zhuo turned around and asked, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "The Metropolitan Governor refuses to send reinforcements. ”

Why is that? As long as I wait for 30,000 cavalry, I can make the Goguryeo army outside the city come and go. Dong Zhuo said with a little excitement.

Zhang Ji said in a sullen voice, "General, you have forgotten that the governor of Dadu is also the military affairs of Hanzhou and Youzhou, and there are so many places that need to be defended, and it is not easy to send 60,000 border troops from Hanzhou." ”

Dong Zhuo sighed when he heard this, how did he not know Zhang Huan's difficulties, although the probability of Fu Yuguo going south was very small, but he could not be unguarded, he had to ensure that a large army was stationed in Rancheng, and at the same time, the border area also had cavalry patrols, which divided a lot of large troops.

Speaking of Youzhou, Lelang County in Youzhou is adjacent to Haoqian and Mahan, although there are also mountain hazards, but it is also necessary to garrison a large army in case of emergency.

Needless to say, the north of Youzhou is the top priority of defense to defend against Xianbei and other ethnic minorities going south at any time, so that the two states of Youhan and Han together with the border army are counted, and there are nearly 200,000 empty troops, but there are almost no adjustable troops.

Zhang Huan has a cavalry force of 20,000 people in his hands, but it is for emergency relief, like Dong Zhuo here, he can completely block the Goguryeo army alone and easily, how could Zhang Huan send troops to come? After all, Xianbei is still watching from the sidelines.

Dong Zhuo didn't expect that after his arrival, the result would be to continue to defend and fight a protracted war with Changqing.

You must know that the reason why Dong Zhuo fought psychological warfare outside Changqing was to gather the Goguryeo army here, and then asked Zhang Huan to send troops to help destroy the heart of Goguryeo's counterattack in one fell swoop.

Who would have thought that coming to Gaima Mountain would be such a result, although he was very reluctant, but there were no reinforcements, together with the 50,000 troops he brought from Changqing, Gaima Mountain was also less than 70,000 soldiers and horses, of which only 10,000 cavalry.

With these armies, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to take the initiative to fight, and the 10,000-strong army was a strategic deterrent to prevent Goguryeo from making a detour into Hanzhou.

The rest of the soldiers and horses together were only more than 50,000 people, and the Goguryeo army under the mountain was as many as 120,000.

In the end, Dong Zhuo simply gave an order to take strict precautions, and then got up and went back to the room alone.

Zhang Ji couldn't smile bitterly when he saw this, why didn't he want to go to war in his heart, you must know that he had been passively defending for more than ten days, and he thought that Dong Zhuo would be able to fight when he came.

Who would have thought that the result would be to continue to defend strictly.

Therefore, when it comes to resentment, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo's resentment is not as big as Zhang Ji's resentment!
