Chapter 199: Dong Zhuo reaps the consequences
Liu Jiu said in the Western Regions, it can be regarded as spreading all the anger he received in Liangzhou, and everywhere he led his troops, it was like a tornado coming, destroying everything, and almost all the tribes, small towns, and oases in the Western Regions he passed through were all robbed!
There are many Hu people in the Western Regions, all ethnic groups, and some are even very powerful tribes, but when they encounter Liu Jiu's Hun army, they are all like rotten wood, uprooted and destroyed!
But although Liu Jiu grabbed it, he also knew that he had offended a lot of Hu people, especially the Xiqiang tribes, he was even more offended, but he didn't care, if he didn't do this, then after returning to the grassland, the nine accounts would fall apart, he had to bring back the property that surprised the clansmen, so that the clansmen could continue to stay by his side, as long as he kept the Nine Accounts, the Hu tribes would come together to attack in the future, he didn't care, he would come to the grassland to fight him if he had the ability, he was not afraid of others coming, he was afraid that they would not dare to come!
After robbing for a long time, Liu Jiu's army had already filled more than 10,000 carts, and the property obtained was enough for the people of the Nine Accounts Department to live comfortably and without any dry life for three years of abundance. Knowing that Li Qin had led his troops into the Western Regions again, Liu Jiu gathered the army and robbed enough, and now the most important thing is to bring these belongings back to the grassland safely.
Like last time, Liu Jiu still personally led the elite soldiers out of the team, but this time he was not broken, but he was in the front. Of course, Liu Jiu knew that Dong Zhuo was waiting in the west with the army, and there were not many troops, at least less than Li Qin, so why did he still fight Li Qin, it was better to go directly to fight Dong Zhuo, pay close attention to the prisoners of the Western Regions, and then use the prisoners to threaten Li Qin to not chase after him.
This is the difference between the Xiongnu tribe and the Han court, if the Han soldiers capture the captives of a certain tribe of the Huns, to blackmail another tribe, it will definitely be not good, but if the Huns capture the Han soldiers in one place, to threaten the Han soldiers in another place, but it is ten likely to be good, if the general does not save him when he sees death, then there is no need for Liu Jiu to defeat the general, and the Han court will clean up the general for him.
Liu Jiu understood that he wanted to defeat Li Qin in his life, so it was better to borrow external forces and borrow the power of the Han court to kill Li Qin, so he set the direction of the main attack to the west where Dong Zhuo was located. He led the Huns to pounce on Dong Zhuo's camp at a lightning speed.
Dong Zhuo didn't know that Liu Jiu was going to attack him, and thought that Liu Jiu had to fight with Li Qin first, he just had to pick up the cheap, where would he think that he would become cheap and be picked up by Liu Jiu? He is still rushing to Jiele Beach with his army!
Liu Jiu rushed to Dong Zhuo's camp with the Huns, but found that the Wuji army had already pulled out the camp and marched to the north, he immediately supervised the army to chase, the two armies were only a hundred miles apart, as long as the Huns were fast enough, they could catch up in two days.
Dong Zhuo was rushing with his troops, and suddenly a scout came from behind to report, saying that the Hun soldiers were catching up from behind, it seemed to be an elite army, and the marching speed was extremely fast, and it was estimated that they would soon be able to catch up with the Wuji army!
Dong Zhuo was taken aback, the Huns didn't fight with Li Qin, how could they compete with themselves? Could it be that he was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and he didn't dare to fight Li Qin, so he came to beat himself?
The Hun soldiers were behind, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to stop and watch, so he could only bite the bullet and rush to Jiele Beach, he sent someone to find Li Dao again, wanting Li Dao to go to Li Qin for the third time to see where the Fujiao Army went! The people who could be sent went fast and came back faster, and told Dong Zhuo that Li Dao, who was walking at the rear, had disappeared with the army, and he didn't know where he went, he broke away from the brigade, and he completely lost contact!
This time, Dong Zhuo couldn't even afford to be surprised, and he realized that he was sold by Li Dao, and Li Dao must have switched to Li Qin. He had encountered the rebellion of his subordinates before, but Li Dao's rebellion was too inopportune, and he was simply going to force him to death!
Just like a small businessman, pulling a cart of clay pots, walking on the uphill mountain road, at this time suddenly a wolf ran and bit the buttocks of the small businessman, if the small businessman wants to keep this cart of clay pots, he has to fight to let the wolf bite off a piece of meat on the buttocks, on the contrary, he wants to keep the meat on the buttocks, then he has to let go of the hand pulling the cart to drive the wolf, but a cart of clay pots has to fall down the slope, all broken!
Now Dong Zhuo is like a small businessman, in a dilemma, no matter how this battle is fought, no matter who wins and who loses, he will have to suffer a huge blow anyway, for a long, long time, he doesn't want to relax anymore!
Dong Zhuo was furious, regardless of the land, anyway, it was already like this, what was he afraid of, he ordered the whole army to stop hurrying, and wait on the road, to fight to the death with the Huns, and not to go to Jiele Beach, the march food and grass are not enough, what else to go!
Liu Jiu led his troops to chase wildly, and when he learned that Dong Zhuo's army had stopped, he was overjoyed and immediately urged the army to fight, and the two armies faced each other at noon the next day!
Dong Zhuo stopped halfway through, but here is also a Gobi desert, although it is not a single inch of grass, but it is also rare, the grain and grass can not be replenished, and there is no water source, his soldiers only brought a skin bag of water each, and when they drank it up, there was no more, and Li Dao, who had transported the supplies, ran away!
Just as Dong Zhuo was preparing for a big battle with the Hun soldiers, a soldier came to report that the water had been drunk, and the soldiers were so thirsty that they couldn't hold on any longer.
Dong Zhuo was very surprised, each person has a skin bag of water, save a little to drink, it should be no problem for three or five days, why is there no water now? When asked, the soldier told him that the more he drank the water, the more thirsty he became, and the taste was salty, and salt was added to it, although he added very little, the smell of leather covered the saltiness of the water, and there was only a very light salty taste, but he couldn't stand only this kind of water, and the more he drank, the more thirsty he became, and he couldn't hold on!
Dong Zhuo almost scolded all the eight generations of Li Dao's ancestors, but things have reached this point, he has no choice but to let the soldiers drink horse urine to quench their thirst, if there is no water in the desert, drinking horse urine is also a method, no one will laugh at anyone, let alone a shameful thing. However, the supplies are gone, the people have no water to drink, the horses are not there, they can't pee, and the entire Wuji army can't even drink horse urine now!
In this case, if Dong Zhuo can still win against Liu Jiu, then he has really become the god of war!
The two armies faced each other, the Huns charged, the Wuji army was defeated, scattered and fled, and more than eighty percent of the Wuji army was captured and captured by Liu Jiu.
After the battle, Liu Jiu counted the prisoners, but although there were many captured Wuji soldiers, there was no Dong Zhuo. Liu Jiu thought to himself: "The little soldiers have caught a lot, but they haven't caught the main general, it seems that the weight is not enough, I don't know if I will hold Li Qin hostage." ”
Liu Jiu took a large number of prisoners and returned to the division to meet his large army, his large army was driving tens of thousands of carts, a lot of wealth, related to the future of his nine accounts, and he must not be lost.
But said that Dong Zhuo, he was an official in the Western Regions, and he was not good at other skills, but he was extremely good at running, and when he fought with Liu Jiu, he knew that he would be defeated, so he commanded in the back, and when he saw that his army was about to collapse, he did not go to the whole army, but immediately turned his horse's head and ran, and ran out of twenty miles in one breath, and then stopped to rest.
Dong Zhuo looked at the endless Gobi in front of him, and then looked back at his own soldiers, and found that there were only three people left around him! With a mouth full of bitterness, Dong Zhuo said: "Brothers, we can only return to the station now, but there is no food and no water, I am afraid that we will not last long, if we are thirsty for a long time, people will hallucinate, and we will not be able to distinguish the direction at that time, I am afraid that no one will chase, and we ourselves will have to die on the road!" ”
The three pro-soldiers were dizzy from thirst, they were already dizzy now, they looked at Dong Zhuo, no one could speak, they were all waiting for him to make an idea.
Dong Zhuo said: "If we want to go back alive, we must have water, so we have to wait for the Huns to come and rob them of water, and then we will hurry!" ”
The pro-soldiers are not dizzy this time, everyone is afraid, robbing the Huns of water to drink? How is this possible, there are only four of them in total, how can they beat the Huns, the Huns don't need to come over, as long as a team of ten people, they can all be cleaned up!
Dong Zhuo is not an ordinary person after all, he said: "The Huns will definitely capture the prisoners, but we are twenty miles away from them, so even if someone comes, it will not come in a group, just stragglers, let's just wait here, let the horses out, the Huns will definitely come and take them away when they see the horses, let's take the opportunity to kill them, rob the horses and drinking water, and then go back, do you have the courage to do so?" ”
The pro-soldiers are not a bad breed, although they are afraid, they do not say that they dare not. They immediately acted, dismounted their horses, and drove them away, while they lay down in the sand, armed with bows and arrows, ready to ambush the Huns.
Sure enough, as Dong Zhuo expected, when the sky was dark, six Hun soldiers came here, and it seemed that they were here to catch the deserters. When the Huns saw the four horses, they immediately came, and two of them took out the rope loops, while the four men approached the war horses, and if they could not take them away, they used the rope loops to lasso the horses.
But as soon as these Hun soldiers came, a few feather arrows flew out and shot the four Hun soldiers who came over together, and the two behind didn't find out where the enemy was, and a few more arrows came and shot them to death!
Dong Zhuo and his own soldiers cheered a few times, jumped out of the sand, led the Hun soldiers' war horses, took off the water bladders, and first filled each with a belly of water, and then rode on the Hun soldiers' horses, pulled the spare horses, and returned to the station.
Running all the way, for three consecutive days, there were no Hun soldiers chasing after them, and they were getting closer and closer to the station, Dong Zhuo and his soldiers finally put their minds at ease, as long as they were stationed in the station, it would be safe, whether it was to gather troops and horses again, or to ask Changshi for help, in short, the difficulties would always pass.
It was only half a day's journey to the station, and he could already see the oasis, Dong Zhuo was trying to work harder and strive to go home tonight, when he suddenly found that there were Han soldiers in front of him, and these Han soldiers were all wearing full armor, and everyone was riding a tall horse, and at first glance they were the elite of the elite.
Dong Zhuo thought to himself: "Where did this soldier come from?" From the Changshi Mansion? But the Changshi Mansion doesn't have such elite soldiers! ”
