Seeing this, Wen Chou frowned and said: "I have long heard that the generals Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, Lu Bu, and Zhang Ji in Dong Thief's camp are incomparably brave, but I don't have any impression of Yang Ding, but I have also heard a little about it,......, and he, Brother Wentai, Liangzhou has many warriors, fierce generals, and brave soldiers, although he is arrogant first and then cowardly, not for good generals, you and I should not be underestimated." ”

When Sun Jian heard Wen Chou's words, he thought to himself: "In recent months, getting along with Zixiao is good, but sometimes he is too cautious. Then he smiled and said to Wen Chou, "Qingyan is very true, but in my opinion, such a useless general is not worth paying too much attention to. ”

Wen scandal said, thinking: "Sun Jian makes friends with righteousness, open-minded by nature, and everything is good, but sometimes it is inevitable to take it off lightly and lose it too much." Thinking of the cause of Sun Jian's death in the original history, I had the heart to remind him a few words, but I knew that the country was easy to change, the nature was difficult to change, and now it was outside Dong Ying, and the war was imminent, and it was not suitable to say these words at this time, so I just smiled, "In the formation of ten thousand armies, taking the enemy's head is like probing for things, and this Wentai is also." ”

Some generals will be very nervous when they encounter the upcoming war, some will be very cautious, and some will encounter the more they are about to start a war, but they will be excited, Sun Jian is this kind of person, he looked at the infantry and cavalry behind him, far and near, looking at the open field in front of him and left and right, only to feel that his mind was wide open, his mood was happy, he was eager to try, his hands were itching, and he couldn't wait to fight with the enemy now, laughed, and said: "'In the formation of ten thousand armies, taking the enemy's head is like probing the bag and taking things', good! That's a good saying. Those who know me, Zi Xiaoye. ”

The order of Wen Chou's march was according to the military strategy set the day before yesterday, the front was the elite selected by 9,000 to fight, and the back was the remaining 20,000 reserve military horses and baggage, etc., at this time, I heard that the soldiers of Dong Ying did not leave the camp. It didn't seem to have any intention of facing the battle, so he immediately passed down the military order, and ordered the generals Xiahoulan and Dong Zhizhu to lead the reserve troops to be stationed on the spot, and Sun Jian, Yan Liang, and Zhou Lu took the center, left, and right armies that were ready to go to battle for another five miles.

It is only ten miles away from Dong Ying.

Wen Chou sent a sentry to visit again.

After a short time, the sentry returned and reported: "Dong Ying's soldiers have gone up to the barracks. He set up a bow and a crossbow, and was preparing to defend the camp. ”

Wen Chou frowned and asked, "Still have no intention of going out of the camp to engage in battle?" ”

Tanma replied: "The gate is still closed, and there is no intention of going to war. ”

Sun Jian said proudly: "Zixiao, you and Zhou Jun will lead the troops to stay temporarily, set up a good formation, and wait for me to lead a group of men and horses to challenge outside the Dong camp, and after I lure him out, the three armies will fight together to destroy this thief!" ”

The so-called "challenge". It is nothing more than insulting and demonstrating outside the camp in order to provoke the anger of the other side, so that it can not bear it anymore and lead the troops to meet the battle.

Wen Chouxin said: "Our army has reached ten miles outside the Dong camp, and Yang Ding is still closed and can't come out, a few words of abuse, a few demonstrations for a while, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to provoke him to come out of the camp to fight, but Sun Jian has put forward this proposal, but he can also try." Because he said to Sun Jian. Qing is the main general of the left formation, how can he take risks lightly? This challenge. It is enough to send a favor. ”

After speaking, Wen Chou thought in his heart who to send to challenge, this is a battle that must be won, and he can't weaken his own momentum, especially after successfully angering the enemy general, he must have enough combat power to defeat the enemy general. This task is not very simple, because Dong Zhuo's soldiers have always been known for their bravery! Wen Chou thought about it, but he thought of his brother-in-law Yan Liang, only Yan Liang's force could take on such a heavy responsibility! So he ordered, "Send my military order to Yan Liang." Tell him to take 300 elite soldiers to challenge the enemy outside the Dong camp. ”

The three of them, Wen Chou, Sun Jian, and Zhou Lu, each led their headquarters, divided into center, left, and right, except for the cavalry left on guard in front, they all erected flags and drums, commanded and arranged, and began to arrange the infantry formation.

But he said that Yan Liang had obtained the military order of Wen Chou, and thought in his heart: "When this eldest brother made meritorious service." is just a small Dong camp, why do you need to bring 300 elite soldiers to challenge? If there are many soldiers, it is difficult to show the merits of the eldest brother, which is not enough to make Yingchuan Shizi sincerely satisfied! And Dong Jun was already afraid to go to war, if I led too many troops, I am afraid that he would not come out to meet the battle, in my opinion, there is no need to bring three hundred elite soldiers, choose the thin one, and bring seven or eight people is enough. ”

There are naturally reasons why Yan Liang thinks, but I am more afraid that it is because of the previous battle to annihilate the thousands of Dong horses, several people have made contributions, needless to say, Wenba, Liu Qing has also made contributions, but Yan Liang has not done much, this time the Kanto heroes are begging for Dong, the momentum is huge, seeing that the achievements are in front of him, why is he not excited? That's how we got the idea.

So Yan Liang took Wen Chou's military order, selected seven or eight thin ones from the army, and went to Dong Yingwai, which naturally has his strong confidence in his own martial arts, which is an invincible attitude.

Wen Chou was commanding the various songs and the various tun arrays, and suddenly the sergeant who went to give Yan Liang the order came to report, saying that Yan Liang only brought seven or eight people to Dong Ying to challenge, and was immediately surprised, at first he thought that the sergeant had passed his military order wrong, and then thought: "My military order is clear, he will not pass it on wrongly, this must be the public Ji to seek merit, so he changed my order without permission, and only brought a few people to challenge." ”

At the moment, he asked, "How long has Gongji been gone?" ”

The sergeant replied, "I have been there for more than two quarters." ”

Wen Chou's headquarters of 5,000 people, originally lined up to occupy a very wide area, plus they were in formation, they couldn't go straight, this sergeant came back and around, and delayed for some time, but it took more than two quarters of an hour to come back in front of Wen Chou.

It has been more than two quarters of an hour, and it is too late to chase after him at this time, Wen Chou has no choice but to call Liu Qinglai, who is waiting near the left, and ordered, "Although Dong Jun is afraid to fight, and his generals are also quite brave, Gongji only brought a few people to challenge, or there will be a loss, you hurry up to 300 elite soldiers, go to support him." ”

Although Yan Liang can rely on his own courage and dare to do this, Wen Chou can't put Yan Liang in danger! relies on Yan Liang, but it will also ensure Yan Liang's basic safety. Of course, above the battle array, the situation has changed abruptly, and no one can have a complete guarantee, but if there is any battle damage because the basic personnel are not in place, this is not something that Wen Chou can bear.

Liu Qing got the order, and immediately ordered three hundred elite soldiers to chase Yan Liang.

Wen Chou watched him lead his troops out of battle, and saw that he was about to catch up with Yan Liang soon, so he was relieved.

It took less than an hour for the formation to be completed.

As soon as the formation was arranged, Liu Qing returned with his troops, and Wen Chou looked behind him, but Yan Liang was nowhere to be seen. (To be continued......)
