The reason why Wen Chou specially instructed Zhao Yun to pay attention to intercepting Hu Zhen's aid cavalry was because Yique Zhuguan was only 100 miles away from the Dong camp where the Yang people gathered and Guangcheng gathered, although they still did not know that Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others decided not to attack Liang County or Zhucheng, but to directly attack the Dong camp where the Yang people gathered and Guangcheng gathered, but once the war began, Hu Zhen, who was sitting in these passes, would be able to get the information quickly, and if he sent a horse to rescue, it was indeed as Wen Chou said, at most two days could arrive.

If Hu Zhen sends reinforcements, he can arrive in two days, but because of the elite of the Dong army, Wen Chou is not sure how long it will take him to defeat the Dong camp of Yang people and Guangcheng, if he can defeat it in two days, or even in one day, of course it is the best, but if not, he needs to take into account the reinforcements that Hu Zhen may send.

Wen Chou said again: "There are quite a few barbarians living in the valley near Liangxian and Zhucheng, and now I will fight with Dong Ying, and the barbarians in this valley must not be on guard, Zilong, you must not only be wary of the reinforcements that Hu Zhen may send, but also the barbarians in the valley near the left side of the battlefield." ”

There are many mountains and long valleys in the south of Yique, as early as the pre-Qin period, there are many barbarians living in the valley here, and there are still many savages infested until now, and even in the original history, until the time of the Three Kingdoms Wei, the Wei State also specially placed an anti-barbarian governor in the Luhun City a hundred miles northwest of Zhucheng, and the defense was those barbarians and savages in the surrounding valleys.

Wen Chou and the others are about to fight with the Yang people and the Dongying of Guangcheng, from common sense, this fierce battle of more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the enemy and us, the barbarians in the valley will not dare to come to mix, but if they are defeated, if they are defeated, this barbarian may take advantage of the fire to rob and attack the defeated army when he sees the opportunity. Therefore, not only the Dong army in the Yique Zhuguan, but also the barbarians in this valley also need to be guarded against.

Zhao Yun promised.

Wen Chou said again: "Dong Bing is fierce, and I will fight with him, and victory or defeat can be between, such as if I lose." Zilong, you don't need to come to save me, just watch the back road, I can retreat calmly. ”

"No."

"If I win, you must not rush to lead the army to chase after me, but wait for my military order, and then all the troops will move."

"No."

Most of the more than 20,000 people left to Zhao Yun and Captain Yuzhou are new pawns, and the new pawns have two characteristics, one is that they can fight a good fight. It is difficult to fight a counter-war, one is that he has never been on the battlefield, and he is familiar with the practice in peacetime, and he will inevitably panic when he fights with the enemy for the first time, and this panic will definitely cause all kinds of mistakes and loopholes, which may lead to chaos in the entire formation, because of these two characteristics. Therefore, Wen Chou explained to Zhao Yun. told him that no matter whether he won or lost, he must not immediately lead his troops into battle, otherwise, if Wen Chou loses, it will only make matters worse, and if Wen Chou wins. It is also very likely that this will turn the victory into a defeat.

Although Zhao Yun is shouldering the responsibility of staying in the army this time, it seems that he does not have to go into battle, it seems to be very easy, but in fact, his responsibility is not lighter than that of Wen Chou, Sun Jian, and Zhou Lu. Wen Chou and the three of them only need to kill the enemy in front, but all kinds of changes that may occur have to be dealt with by Zhao Yun.

Yan Liang saw that Wen Chou finished telling Zhao Yun. Immediately got up and asked: "Eldest brother, the day after tomorrow will go to war, although the center, left, and right armies have been set to fight, and the generals and troops who will stay behind have also been determined, but as Fang Cai said during the military discussion: 'The eldest brother has just defeated Dong Cai in Yingchuan County for a while, and the Dong army will be afraid now', although the three armies I fought today are less than 10,000 people, the total number is 9,000 people, and the soldiers of Dong Ying are only less than 5,000, and they are still our widows, if he is still afraid, he still refuses to fight, what should I do?" ”

If all the soldiers and horses are pressed up, 30,000 or 40,000 people, the Dong soldiers of the Dong battalion may not dare to fight, but now they have changed to only use the elite to fight, but there are still 9,000 of them, which is still more than the Dong soldiers in the Dong battalion, almost twice as much, so if the Dong soldiers are still timid and dare not fight, then what should we do?

Yan Liang's question is very good.

Wen Chou laughed at Gu Tianfeng and Tian Chou, and then turned to Yan Liang and said: "If he is willing to fight, it is naturally the best, if he is still afraid of my soldiers and does not dare to fight, Gongji does not need to worry,......。 He pointed to his belly and smiled, "I've got a plan here." ”

The leader of the Yangrenju and Guangchengju Dong Battalion will be a captain under Hu Zhen's account, named Yang Ding, who is also a native of Liangzhou, and Hu Zhen is the same county, in the early years, he was thrown from Hu Zhen to Dong Zhuo's command, brave and daring to fight, several firsts, and quite meritorious in the battle, because he was able to be personally ordered by Hu Zhen, he was sent to the southeast frontier position here to guard Yique and Guangcheng Pass.

Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, after mastering the power of the court, he rewarded the generals under the account, each of them was promoted and knighted, and was awarded the lieutenant general, the lieutenant, Yang Ding because of his previous military exploits, he was also rewarded, and was named "Zhenwei" by Dong Zhuobiao, originally called "Zhenwei", this time the Shandong princes raised troops, in order to strengthen the momentum of the headquarters, announced in the name of Zhengshuo, Dong Zhuo changed a school captain number to him, and now it is called "rebellion".

Sun Jian, who played by Yuan Shu, is a "rebellious general", the world is in turmoil, and the princes are strife, all want to use "righteousness" as the name, but it is difficult to say who is "righteous" and who is "rebellious".

Wen Chou, Sun Jian and other troops stationed in the east of Zhucheng, discussed the strategy of the march on the same day, rested for a day the next day, and then opened the whole army early in the morning of the third day, except for leaving a Yuzhou captain to command 3,000 people to watch Liang County, Cheng Putong 2,000 people to watch Zhucheng, the remaining more than 30,000 cavalry all marched to the outside of the Dong military camp in the middle of Yangrenju and Guangchengju.

Fifteen miles outside the camp, Wen Chou passed a military order, ordered all departments to pause, and sent a sentry to explore outside the Dong camp.

From this place to Dongying, thirty miles back and forth, the sentinel rode a fast horse and galloped, and before an hour he turned back and reported back to Wen Chou.

"General Yu, when Dong Ying heard that our army had bypassed Zhucheng and suddenly arrived in front of the camp, there was chaos in the camp."

"Does Dong Jun have the intention of going to war?"

"We heard the drums in the camp from far away from the camp, and it was expected that General Dong would summon the generals to gather troops, but the door of the Dong camp was closed, and there seemed to be no intention of sending troops."

Wen Chou turned to Sun Jian beside him and said: "It seems that Yuan Hao and Feng Xiao are not bad, this Dong soldier was defeated for a while, and he really put away his arrogance and changed his previous attitude, but now he has become timid and afraid of war." ”

If you weren't afraid of war, with Dong Bing's pride and bravery, as soon as you heard that Wen Chou had arrived, I was afraid that I wouldn't immediately go out of the camp to counterattack? Now it is tightly closed, and it is clear that he is afraid to fight.

Sun Jian said: "I heard that Dong General Yang Ding is also quite brave under Dong Zhuo's account, known as daring to fight, now looking at his moves, first arrogant and then cowardly, but not a good general." ”

Yang Ding was arrogant at first, sent a thousand cavalry commanders to drive straight in, and actually swaggered across the city to Yingchuan County to provoke Wen Chou, after the defeat, he suddenly became timid and afraid, even if Wen Chou had been killed in front of the camp, but he still did not dare to go out of battle behind closed doors, and he was discouraged, and it was indeed difficult to be called a good general.
