Chapter 407: Dong Zhuo's Plan
readx;
"Your Highness, the last general is willing to take Yizhou Island for His Highness, if defeated, the last general is willing to die!" Zhou Tai suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly at Liu Tai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The swear is frank, as if Yizhou Island is already in Zhou Taide's pocket!
"Oh?" Liu Tai squinted his glasses and looked at Zhou Tai, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, he slowly took a few steps forward, came to Zhou Tai and squatted down, put his right hand on Zhou Tai's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Youping, do you really have the confidence to take down Yizhou Island?" It can be known that Yizhou Island is thousands of miles away, although it is said that the warships of our Northern Xinjiang Naval Division far surpass those of the Jiangdong Naval Division, but the soldiers are human beings after all, and they can't withstand such a long time to sail! ”
"Your Highness, please rest assured, the humble post will be guaranteed by the head of the item, and Yizhou Island will be taken!" Zhou Tai raised his head and looked at Liu Tai, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, as if it was a supreme honor to receive the task of Yizhou Island!
Seeing Zhou Tai so confident, Liu Tai was a little speechless, in fact, Liu Tai didn't think about Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin going to Yizhou at all, after all, this is too unrealistic. You must know that even if you set off from Donglai Port in Qingzhou to Yizhou, you have to pass through tens of thousands of miles of sea areas, and you can't rest on the shore when you get to the territory of Jiangdong, which is really unrealistic!
But looking at Zhou Tai's appearance, Liu Tai is a little difficult to refuse! Yizhou Island is the inherent territory of China, and it is also what Liu Tai has always wanted to occupy, if it weren't for the lack of ships and staffing, maybe Liu Tai would have sent people south to take the island. Although the naval division battleship in front of him has reached Liu Taide's goal, the problem is that the naval division infantry has never experienced such a long voyage, and if it is accidentally discovered by the Jiangdong naval division at that time, it is easy to face the danger of annihilation of the whole army!
You have to be cautious!
"Youping, get up, it's not time to go south." patted Zhou Taide on the shoulder, Liu Tai sighed in his heart, but said as if nothing had happened on his face. Liu Tai very much hopes that Zhou Tai can take Yizhou Island for the northern Xinjiang, because Liu Tai knows very well that with the terrain, location, and properties of Yizhou Island, if Liu Bei really gets it, there will be trouble in the northern Xinjiang in the future!
"Your Highness!" Zhou Tai is reluctant to give up, although Zhou Tai is not clever enough and his brain is not very fast, but Zhou Tai has a strength, that is, he can watch people! Just now, Zhou Tai looked up at Liu Tai for a moment, and found that Liu Tai had a deep longing for Yizhou Island in his eyes! This look strengthened Zhou Tai's psychology of leading his division south!
"My lord, the last general is willing to vouch for Youping! If Youping can't take Yizhou, he will be willing to die to apologize! Suddenly, Jiang Qin stepped forward and bowed down to Liu Tai on one knee. As a brother, when he made up his mind, he stepped forward and pressed everything for his strength!
"Gong Yi you!" Liu Tai frowned and looked at Jiang Qin, a little puzzled, with Jiang Qin's ability, couldn't he see the difficulty of the sailor's expedition to Yizhou Island? As a general, it is good to emphasize righteousness, but in terms of militarism, you must not be too righteous!
"My lord, General Zhou's invitation is not unavoidable." Guo Jia, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and said to Liu Tai. Although Guo Jia is not in charge of the army, in the overall situation, few strategists or generals can compare to Guo Jia, if Guo Jia also thinks that it is okay
"How?" Liu Tai turned his head to look at Guo Jia, his tone was a little dignified, and he was also a little expectant, if Guo Jia could say three, four or five, and contact the worried thoughts in Liu Tai's heart, maybe the battle of Yizhou Island would really be launched!
Feeling Liu Tai's blazing gaze, Guo Jia was a little pressured, and adjusted his mentality, Guo Jia arched his hand at Liu Tai, and said with a solemn face: "My lord, please think about it, at this time, the main force in Jiangdong has to gather in Luoyang, and those in Jiangdong are only forty or fifty thousand, and these forty or fifty thousand sailors want to attack Yizhou Island again, and they have to ensure the major passes in Jiangdong, how can the troops be sufficient?" ”
"Oh?" Liu Tai narrowed his eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind, but it was a little vague, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't remember, so he could only say to Guo Jia: "So what? ”
"Fight for war!" I saw Guo Jia gritting his teeth and saying loudly! In Guo Jia's opinion, if a naval division corps goes south, there will not be much movement, and it can also use the advantages of naval warships to raid the major ports in Jiangdong, and then the backup supply will not be a problem, but in this way, there is also a very bad place, that is, it will definitely make the reputation of the Tianci Army in Jiangdong stink
"Huh?" The pupils dilated, and Liu Tai instantly understood Guo Jiade's thoughts, this kind of tactics has always been the fundamental reason for the victory of the Tianci Army Cavalry Legion on the grassland, but the problem is that the target this time is the Han Dynasty, and the people of Jiangdong already have a limited good impression of the northern Xinjiang, if this is the case, wouldn't it
But the problem is that if you want to take Yizhou, you must do it in this way, otherwise, you can only wait until Jiangdong is recovered before you can send troops to Yizhou. Liu Tai didn't want to wait, he was impatient, but if he wanted to kill and injure the people of the Han Dynasty to open the way for the sailors, then Liu Tai would rather continue to wait!
"No, this method is absolutely impossible, Hugh has to say it again!" Liu Tai did not hesitate to reject Guo Jiade's idea, in Liu Tai's opinion, Yizhou Island will be his own sooner or later, why use the reputation he has accumulated with great difficulty as a bet? It's not worth it!
"But the lord" saw that Liu Tai couldn't say much, Guo Jia sighed helplessly in his heart. For some reason, Liu Tai always made Guo Jia feel like a multi-faceted person, mixed with a variety of surnames, or cold-blooded, or tender, or indecisive
"Needless to say, after the third day, the army will send Mengjin, as long as the alliance of princes is defeated, the unification of the world will not be far away." Liu Tai didn't talk any more nonsense to everyone, only to see the big sleeves wave and walk down the tower in advance, and his demeanor did not change at all!
Seeing Liu Tai leave so happily, Zhou Tai, as well as Jiang Qin and others present, all looked at each other, a little speechless, a little helpless. Liu Tai is the king, the king of the northern frontier, Liu Tai is a god, a god in the eyes of the people of the world, if Liu Tai makes up his mind, no one is qualified to say anything!
============= Mengjin Port in order to deal with the upcoming Tianci Army, all the people in Mengjin Port and the fishermen on the river have been expelled, and the entire port has become a military base, and the person in charge of commanding the whole army to resist the Tianci Army in the port is Dong Zhuo, who has been known as a national thief for many years!
At the same time, there were some minor princes
"Report to the Emperor, the fleet of the Naval Division of the Heavenly Army has arrived at the port of Huaixian County three hours ago!!" A member of the armored Dexi Liang general, with a slightly panicked expression, ran into the big tent of the Chinese army, and shouted at Dong Zhuo, who hugged the left and right of the head and enjoyed the blessings of all the people.
"What??" With an exclamation, Dong Zhuo hurriedly pushed away the maid in his arms, and shouted with a burst of cold sweat on his forehead: "Quick, quickly summon the generals and princes of all departments to come to the tent to discuss matters, immediately!" ”
"No!!" The general didn't dare to look up at Dong Zhuo, and after answering, he hurriedly withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent. Dong Zhuo's majesty in the Xiliang Army is no less than Liu Tai's status in the Tianci Army, as long as Dong Zhuo does not die, then the Xiliang Army will never dare to betray Dong Zhuo!
"Oh, Taishi, what is there to be afraid of the Tianci Army, look at you in a hurry to become like this" A demonic woman on the left was pushed to the ground by Dong Zhuo, stained her hands with dirt, and muttered to Dong Zhuo dissatisfied, that coquettish look, which makes people see that it is really a beast.
"Huh!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, looked at the woman on the left, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "If you don't get out again, don't blame Master Ben for taking your surname, don't think that you dare to talk to Master Ben because you have a little beauty, you slut!" ”
If in peacetime, Dong Zhuo can be said to be as gentle as he is to these beauties and demon women, but in wartime, if these beauties don't know each other, they will be brutally killed by Dong Zhuo, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, women are like half of the goods, not worth cherishing at all!
Feeling the thick murderous aura coming from Dong Zhuo's body, the demonic woman suddenly shuddered, and at this time the woman felt that if she stayed here any longer, it might really be possible to lose her life, so she quickly stood up, and escaped from the Chinese army's tent through the small door without tidying up her clothes, causing a whistle. At this moment, the woman finally understood that in front of Dong Zhuo and other people in power, women had no right to speak at all, otherwise they would face death!
"Enchantress!" Watching the two women walk out of the Chinese army's tent one after another, Dong Zhuo's originally red face slowly turned pale, squinting at the glass on the table that still had half of the wine left, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: "It's coming, it's still coming, what should this Taishi do?" Just leave and hand over the whole army to Fengxian? It's all to blame Liu Miao, that bastard, why did he let this Taishi take the lead, hate, hate! ”
"It's not appropriate to change the commander on the spot!" Although Dong Zhuo, who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, knows that this battle is extremely dangerous, but decades of battlefield experience make Dong Zhuo know how big a blow it will bring to an army if he changes his commander.
"Hey" sighed for a while, Dong Zhuo, who used to dominate the world, felt that he was already old. After drinking the glass of wine in one gulp, he felt the hot and spicy taste, and Dong Zhuode's mood was even more calm! Who said that borrowing wine can kill sorrows? It's just more worrying.
Not long after, one by one the princes and the generals of the various divisions walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Dong Zhuo sitting on the top holding a wine glass in a daze, none of them said anything, just sat on the soft couch according to their respective positions, and waited for the personnel to arrive, before the scout informed Dong Zhuo, these generals and princes had already received the news, saying that they were not afraid, it was impossible, but as generals and princes of all parties, they could not show the slightest fear!
"All the dukes are gone, and the old man is rude." Dong Zhuo has always secretly paid attention to the situation of the generals and princes in the ministry, and seeing that the princes and generals did not say a word after entering the big tent, Dong Zhuo was not good at holding the cup in a daze, raised his head and said to everyone.
"We have seen Dong Gong" Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, whether they wanted to or not, everyone present shouted at Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo is a national thief, after all, he is in the same camp at this time, and he was appointed as the commander of the whole army by Liu Xuan, the son of heaven, and those princes present always have to give some face.
"I don't know why Gong Dong summoned us here?" Among the princes, a man wearing a yellow robe with a heroic face said to Dong Zhuo. The person who spoke was a prince, or a prince who had been a rival with Dong Zhuo for several years!
The princes named Zhang Lu were the Taishou of Hanzhong at the time, and they had sent troops to Yangping Pass many times to invade the land of Sanfu, and had a deep enmity with Dong Zhuo, if it was not for the defeat of Lu Bu, the northern part of Sanfu was almost Zhang Lude's territory at this time. This time, the alliance sent a vanguard force, and Zhang Lu was also named by Liu Xuan, the son of heaven, and he refused to accept it, but since Zhang Lu had joined the alliance, he naturally did not dare to openly disobey Liu Xuan's holy decree, so he could only go into battle with his old rival Dong Zhuo.
"This Taishi is calling everyone to come today, it is to discuss how to deal with the heaven-sent army that is about to go south, if you and others have a grudge against this Taishi, I hope to put it down for the time being, and jointly defend the Son of Heaven against the enemy!" Feeling that Zhang Lu's tone was not good, Dong Zhuo's face turned cold, but then he remembered that the situation at this time was not what it was back then, so he could only ease his face and say in desperation.
"Of course, if any of you deliberately look for trouble, this Taishi should serve with military law, and this Taishi has a holy purpose, but he is not afraid of some people!" Although he said that he slowed down his tone, Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo after all, how can he let people ride on his head? I only heard Dong Zhuo say aloud if he pointed out.
"Dong Gong, is this a threat?" A cold light flashed in Zhang Lu's eyes, Zhang Lu, to whom Meng Jin belonged, did not have many soldiers and horses, only 20,000 people, but Zhang Lu was not afraid of Dong Zhuo at all, because behind Zhang Lu, there was also the support of Tao Qian and other princes!
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, squinting at Zhang Lu, a bit like shooting a case, but seeing that some generals in the big tent put their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to attack at any time, Dong Zhuo could only suppress his anger, the big thing is important!
"Dong Gong, Gong Qi, at this time, the enemy is present, you have old grudges or put them aside for the time being, how about it?" Feeling that the atmosphere was suddenly cold, the good old man Tao Qian shook his head helplessly, glanced at Dong Zhuo, and then said to Zhang Lu.
Tao Qian understands that it is not Dong Zhuo but Zhang Lu who wants to provoke trouble, as long as Zhang Lu is stabilized, there will naturally be nothing to do. However, even if the princes don't make trouble, after this small episode, as an old prince, Tao Qian, has become even more disappointed in the so-called alliance.
With such an alliance and such a commander, how could he resist the tiger and wolf army of the Heavenly Army?
"Humph!" Zhang Lu snorted coldly, glanced at Tao Qian, and didn't say any nonsense anymore to give Tao Qian face. Those who can become princes, of course, have some ability, don't look at Zhang Lu's reputation, and the territory is also in the Hanzhong Basin, but Zhang Lu's political mind is still very sufficient, knowing that if he goes against Tao Qian's intentions, then he will lose the support of the princes.
"You have already received the news that the fleet of the Navy, the Heaven-given Army, has arrived in Huai County, and Huai County is only half a day away from Mengjin, if the Heaven-given Army sneaks up, my Mengjin will be in danger!" Seeing that Zhang Lu had been persuaded to come down, Dong Zhuo was unwilling to waste time on Zhang Lu, and said in a deep voice to the princes and generals.
"Half-talked?" The princes' hearts tightened, a cold air flashed through their necks, and they couldn't help but muttered softly. If the Tianci Army really attacked Mengjin as Dong Zhuo said, then how many of the princes present could go back alive? It's a big deal about your surname, so you have to be cautious!
"The combat power of the Tianci Army is obvious to all, Dong Gong's opinion, how to resist it?" Tao Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked Dong Zhuo all the questions that the princes wanted to ask. For a long time, Tao Qian has been among the princes, and he has been based on Cao Ying's backer, and he belongs to the kind of person who has no opinions and has a good temper, so it is the best choice for Tao Qian to ask questions on behalf of the princes.
"The princes take turns patrolling the river!" Obviously, long before everyone entered the big tent, Dong Zhuo already had a case in his heart!
"Princes, please think, the northern Xinjiang is good at fighting surprise wars, among which surprise attacks are the most, if our coalition forces can block the entire south bank and watch the movements of the north bank all the time, then how can the Tianci army sneak attack?" opened an opening, Dong Zhuo naturally couldn't let the princes guess.
"Has Dong Gong ever thought about how many troops are needed to blockade the entire south bank? Although our forward army has nearly 400,000 troops, its strength is also very limited. In the early years, Bao Xin was one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and he was also the first prince to see the heart of Dong Zhuo's prodigal son, so it can be said that he is qualified to be called a famous general!
"You can be stationed in four groups of 100,000 people in various parts of the south bank, so that you will not suffer a single blow of destruction from the Tianci Army, and you can also disperse the strength of the Tianci Army, and when the rear army arrives, you can fight to the death with the Tianci Army!" In Dong Zhuo's opinion, although Bao Xin has vision, he is still a little tender. If the coalition forces disperse their forces, it also means that the Tianci army will also divide their troops to deal with it, so that the coalition army can support the footsteps of the Tianci army, and when Yuan Shao's rear army comes with the army, it can annihilate the Tianci army in batches!
The idea is very good, and it can be said that it fully reflects Dong Zhuo's achievements on the battlefield, but the question is, will the Tianci Army step by step enter the trap as Dong Zhuo envisioned? At least Bao Xin and the other great princes present did not believe it, if the Tianci army was really so easy to deal with, the princes would not prepare to retreat in advance.
"What if the heaven-sent army gathers its forces and annihilates them one by one?" Bao Xin narrowed his eyes and said loudly to Dong Zhuo. As the saying goes, the Yangtze River pushes back the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. In Bao Xin's opinion, Dong Zhuo is already old and useless, and the formation of the troops is also the same old routine as before, if this set is applied to other princes, it can be applied to the Tianci army
"With Liu Tai'er's arrogance, will he be so victorious?" Dong Zhuo smiled disdainfully at Bao Xin, obviously disagreeing with Bao Xin's opinion. It is also true that Northern Xinjiang has always fought foreign wars, and the number of troops rarely exceeds that of the opposing forces, and it is generally about the same number.
In this battle of Luoyang, not to mention who wins and who loses in the end, if Liu Tai attacks the four divisions of the coalition army step by step with an army of 400,000, it is obviously impossible. After all, as soon as the army moves, all kinds of troubles will follow, and if the battle cannot be resolved in a short time, the pressure on the northern frontier will be very great. The biggest possibility is that Liu Tai divided the army into four divisions, and once the surname was to solve the alliance of princes stationed on the south bank.
