After everything was ready, Wen Chou, Sun Jian, and others exchanged letters with Zhang Miao and Cao Cao in the direction of sour jujubes, and on March 15, both sides sent troops at the same time.

Wen Chou did not summon Lu Liang and Han Meng back, because of his dispatch of troops, only Kong Ling's troops were left in Yingchuan County, and the number of troops was much less, and Han Meng and Lu Liang were left just in case, simply put, first, to ensure a way out, and second, the father city where Lu Liang was stationed was in the southeast of Liang County, that is, in the rear of Liang County, not very far from Liang County, only one or two hundred miles away, in case of something, such as a big defeat, with Lu Liang here, at least one or two hundred miles away.

In addition to Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and other people who relied on Wen Chou, such as Guo Jia, Jiang Xian, who had already defected from Yangzhai, and some young people who were brought out by Wen Chou from Xun's protégés, were also taken by Wen Chou.

On the same day, Yuan Shao of Hanoi also sent 8,000 troops to Chun Yu Qiongtong and marched to Mengjin.

Chun Yuqiong was one of the eight captains of the West Garden, ranked eighth, the right captain of the West Garden, when Yuan Shao fled to Luoyang, he as a firm member of the Yuan Party, also fled, and followed Yuan Shao to Jizhou. In addition to being a lieutenant of Xiyuan and a colleague with Cao Cao, he is also a native of Yingchuan, and Yuan Shao chose him to lead the army with Cao Cao and Wen Chou, but it is very suitable, because Yingchuan is the backbone of this attack on Dong Zhuo.

On the day when Wen Chou and Sun Jian sent troops, the people of Yangzhai County heard about it, and the villagers and scholars came out to watch, and saw the soldiers and soldiers dazzling the sun from afar, showing off their might, and learned that Kong Lingtun's army did not move, and did not dare to attack Dong, and the villagers and scholars all admired Wen Chou and others.

It's just that admiration is admiration, everyone knows that Dong Zhuo is strong, and he attacked Wen Chou and others this time. But not everyone is optimistic, there are many people who have the same mind as Kong Ling, and feel that Wen Chou is looking for death. Kong Ling didn't come to see Wen Chou send troops, but just sneered a few times after hearing the report.

No matter what the viewers think, and no matter what Kong Ling thinks, he said that Wen Chou and others pulled out of the county.

After deliberation. The army of Wenchou is the vanguard, but this is because the army of Wenchou is famous in Jizhou, which makes Sun Jian also humble by three points. For this pioneer position, Wen Chou is happy, because the pioneer also means the greatest 'prestige', of course, this requires you to be able to win, even if you can't win big, at least you can't lose miserably.

If so, the Ministry of Literature and Ugliness ranks first. followed by Sun Jianbu, and finally the three county soldiers who were 'borrowed' from Kong Yuzhou.

Forty or fifty thousand cavalry, plus baggage, plus the interval between the marches of various armies, departments, and songs, the procession stretched for dozens of miles.

Out of Yangzhai, Wen Chou and others went all the way to the west, and the march was not fast, and it was only ten miles a day. Two and a half days later, Rushui was in sight.

Rusui is entered from the southwest of Yeongcheon-gun. When you arrive at Rushui, you can go a short distance to Yingchuan County, and once you get out of the county, you only need to go another twenty or thirty miles to Liang County.

Liang County is too close to Yingchuan, and it is not far from Luyang, where Yuan Shutun is a soldier. There is no Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses stationed here, but dozens of miles northwest of Liang County, there is a Dong army stationed in ,—— this Dong army is not the Dong army that attacked and plundered Yangcheng earlier, and it was the Dong army stationed at Yuyuan Pass who attacked and plundered Yangcheng. Yuyuan Pass is very close to Yangcheng, only forty or fifty miles, and the cavalry arrives at noon. Speaking of Yuyuan Pass, in fact, Kong Ling's failure to send troops is also good for Wen Chou and others, at least he is in Yangzhai, and Yang Zhai is not far from Yuyuan Pass, more than 200 li, so the Dong army in Yuyuan Pass will not move lightly, and will not go southwest from Yuyuan Pass, and insert it to attack the flanks of Wen Chou and Sun Jian.

Fang just received a report, saying that Rushui was ahead, and another army report came: Thirty miles before the army, a Dong army was detected, about 1,000 horsemen.

Wen Chou got the report and immediately sent his own soldiers to rush to the various departments that were marching and summoned the generals.

Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and others rode horses from the headquarters and converged with the Chinese army.

The troops on the road were marching, in order not to block the advance of the follow-up troops, under the guard of the personal guards of the tigers, Wen Chou went down the road, and in response to the enemy situation just received, a brief military meeting was held on the field by the roadside and the generals who came on order.

He was concise and to the point, first briefly described the military situation, and said: "After receiving the military report, there is a Dong army thirty miles ahead, about 1,000 horsemen, and it is expected that it should come from the Dong army garrison camp in the northwest of Liang. After talking about the military situation, he looked around at the generals around him, and said in a sigh of voice, "Today, I and General Sun and the captains of the colonels raised troops to attack Dong, and they have not yet left the county, and the Dong soldiers are the first to attack, arrogant, and the other generation of Liangzhou Zi, there is no self, I want to meet it, defeat its front, frustrate its anger, and raise the prestige of my Shandong army." Who will be the first? ”

From the beginning of the year to the present, it has been a month or two, there has been no battle, and time has been spent in Yingchuan, many fierce generals under the command of Wen Chou have long been depressed, and it is easy to send troops, and they are all high-spirited. Wenba was the first to come out and said loudly: "I am willing to sacrifice the first thief for the eldest brother!" ”

Wen Chou was overjoyed and said, "Okay! ”

This is the first battle, of course, it has to be won, one is to boost morale, and the other is to let the soldiers, people and Yuzhou army in Yingchuan see, Kong Ling did not dare to send troops, but he dared to be ugly, and won the battle as soon as he went out of the army.

Since you want to win a battle, it is naturally best to choose a fierce general to fight. Wenba is the most suitable candidate.

Wenba Benqu has a little less people and horses, only a thousand horses, but it is the elite of Wen Chou's army, in the face of Dong Zhuo's army, which is also a thousand horses, Wen Chou is still quite uneasy, and allocated him another thousand elites, a total of two thousand armor soldiers, all of whom are heroic.

After the increase in troops was completed, Wen Chou ordered him to go first, and the self-unified army was behind to help.

There are soldiers on the left and right who advise and say: "Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong, and thousands of cavalry are coming to attack today, but the general only sends 2,000 soldiers to attack, I am afraid that he will be defeated." It's better to summon Wenba back and give more troops, so that it can be safe. "This is Dong Zhuo's long-term prestige, which has left a deep imprint in the hearts of Yingchuan scholars.

Wen Chou smiled and said nothing, just watching Tian Feng send Wen Ba out.

Tian Feng personally sent Wen Ba to the outside of the crowd, and said with a smile: "In the past, Jun begged for thieves from the Ming Gong to destroy the Kou, and the Ming Gong got the name 'Wen's Shuangjie', and now he is from the Ming Gong to ask for Dong, and he has to fight for the first time, and I hope that the Jun can raise the prestige of the past again." "Tian Feng is confident in Wen Ba, which is also because he knows the combat power of Wen Chou's soldiers, unlike Yingchuan Shizi, who only knows Dong Zhuo's fierce army, but does not know that Wen Chou's army is strong!

Wenba held a heavy gun, held his head high, promised majestically, and said: "I will not disgrace the prestige of the past, and I will not fall into the name of the eldest brother." Mr. just accompany the eldest brother in the army, and wait for my good news! (To be continued......)
