Lu Liang thought: "The meaning of the lord's military order is very clear, it is to ask me to guard the city carefully. The person sent to Jiaxian should not be an impatient and war-seeking person, but a down-to-earth and steady person. ”

He looked around the tent and chose one person, but it was his "old friend" when he was in Gaoyi County. As the so-called one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, after Wen Chou's high position, those who followed him in the early years followed one after another, Lu Liang is no exception, he did not come alone when he joined Wen Chou's hands, and he followed some of his "subordinates" and friends at that time, and now, these people also have their own soldiers and horses under his account, and they are in charge of the department, and the lowest has already become the leader of a team.

The person he named was ordered and said loudly: "Captain rest assured, I will ensure that Jiaxian is safe." ”

Here, Wen Chou sent an order to Lu Liang, Lu Liang sent generals to strengthen the defense of Jiaxian, and in the city of Luyang over there, Yuan Shu also got the news that Hu Zhen's 5,000-step cavalry had advanced to the west of Liang County. Yuan Shu's advisers and generals gathered in his tent.

Yuan Shu sat on the seat and said: "Hu Zhenbu rode five thousand steps, and stayed in the new city for several days without moving, and as soon as Han Rong left, they drove south, and now they have arrived in the west of Liang County,...... Hmph, Dong Zhuo's old thief is clearly a salute before a soldier. "This Han Rong is just like the Shaofu Yin Xiu who went to Wen and Sun's place, and he is Dong Zhuo's lobbyist.

One of the people on the seat got up and said, "Only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you also want to attack my Luyang?" Dong Zhuopifu, too underestimate the general! Yuan Shu saw that the speaker was a high-ranking general under his account, named Zhang Xun.

Another person got up and said, "The last general would like to invite three thousand elite soldiers to go out of the city and attack to break this small enemy for the general." Yuan Shu saw that the speaker was another high-ranking general under his account, named Qiao Rui.

Another person stood up and said, "Why do you use three thousand elite soldiers? Two thousand is enough! With only 2,000 men and horses, the last general can destroy this fangkou for the general. Yuan Shu looked. This time, it was a famous general under his account, named Lei Ji.

Seeing that the generals were enthusiastic about the battle, and the morale was high, Yuan Shu was complacent, stroked his beard and smiled, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Wen Chouzhi and Sun Wentai sent envoys. Make an appointment with me and ask to join forces with me to attack this enemy, but a small number of 5,000 men and horses scared the two of them like this, I really don't know how the two of them won the battle against Dong last time! …… If you talk about boldness, how can the two of them compare with the kings. He was talking about Xun Yu's trip, but he was holding the shelf and did not meet Xun Yu, which really made Wen Chou frown.

Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, and Lei Shu spoke loudly. Sex is also proud, but the degree of pride is still not as good as Yuan Shu. The three of them are specific leaders of the troops, and they all know the art of war, but they know that it is not easy for Wen Chou and Sun Jian to win Dong Zhi last time, and they can see that Yuan Shu looks down on Wen and Sun, although the three of them disagree in their hearts, they know Yuan Shu's temperament. There are no words coming out of his mouth.

"General, Wenwu Meng and Sun Hou are certainly timid. It is difficult to call it brave, and the 5,000 Dong troops who went south are also small and have no need to be afraid, but in the opinion of the next, the general does not seem to need to send troops out of the city and take the initiative to meet them. Yuan Shu looked. The speaker is his long history Yang Hong.

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? What is the high opinion of Long History? ”

Yang Hongyan said: "The Dong army rides more, is good at field battles, and if the general counterattacks, it will win." I am afraid that there will also be quite a lot of casualties, and in my opinion, it is better to focus on defense. The general might as well wait for the troops, and at the same time send an envoy to Yingchuan, so that Wen Wumeng and Sun Hou sent troops, and when Dong Jun arrived, the general would take the fortified city as a solid, and the outside would be attacked by Wen and Sun, and it would be easy to win. ”

How could Yuan Shu not know that the Dong army had many cavalry and was good at field warfare? What he said just now was just to strengthen his morale, and secondly, to vent his dissatisfaction with Wen Chou and Sun Jian's titles by the way. Therefore, after listening to Yang Hong's words, he laughed and said: "What Changshi said is very true, and this is what I mean." "Send an envoy to Yangzhai and ask Wen and Sun to send troops to help." ”

Yang Hong received the order, and even if he was out of the tent, he called people to go to Yangzhai to ask Wen Chou and Sun Jian to send troops.

In the west of Liang County, Hu Zhen was in the 5,000-foot cavalry. The main general who led the troops to attack this time was not Hu Zhen's general, but a subordinate governor specially transferred by Dong Zhuo, named Huaxiong. After Hua Xiong led his troops out of Yique Pass, he marched to Xincheng, and then temporarily garrisoned the army, thinking that Han Rong, Yin Xiu and others were the "backing", in other words, that is, temporarily as a "threat of force", as a support for Han Rong, Yin Xiu and others to persuade them to surrender.

To be honest, Hua Xiong is too lazy to play this role. In his opinion, if someone in Kanto is not convinced, then hit them until they are convinced. What Yuan Benchu, what Gong clan's children, what Shi clan Qingliu, if they are really capable, why don't they go to pacify when the Yellow Turban is in turmoil? Why didn't they pacify Bian Zhang and Han Sui when they were in turmoil? In the end, don't you still rely on the warriors who were born and died and fought bloodily? Those scholars, in addition to talking about the high meeting, what other skills do they have?

As for the last time Hu Zhen was defeated by Wen Chou and Sun Jian a few times in a row, Hua Xiong believes that it was due to two reasons.

One is Wen Chou and Sun Jian are not scholars, they are originally martial artists, and it is not surprising that they can fight and fight. Another is that it is not him who guards Yique Zhuguan, it is Hu Zhen, Hu Zhen has no ability, and he lost the battle, but if it is him, he will definitely not be defeated, he will only win, maybe not only win, but also eliminate Wen Chou and Sun Jian a long time ago.

Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's military order that he "first stationed in Xincheng, waiting for the results of Han Rong and others' persuasion to surrender". It's just that since this is Dong Zhuo's military order, he doesn't think about it or doesn't understand it, he can only obey it unconditionally.

After staying in the new city for several days, he finally got the news: Wen Chou, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu all refused Dong Zhuo's surrender, and Dong Zhuo ordered him to attack because of the order. Hua Xiong was overjoyed when he received this military order, and left the camp with his troops on the same day, continued to go south, and soon arrived in the west of Liang County.

The day after Yuan Shu's military meeting, Hua Xiong also convened a military meeting in the west of Liang County. He summoned the scouts and asked, "What are the new movements of the thief army in Yingchuan and Luyang?" ”

The scout said: "The Father City Thief Army has recently sent thousands of men and horses to Jiaxian to station; The Luyang thief army did not move, but locked the city to defend itself. ”

Hua Xiong then asked, "What about Yang Zhai's thief army?" ”

Someone said: "There is no movement. ”

Hua Xiong frowned: "So can the thieves send more troops to their father city and Jiaxian?" ”

The man said, "Nothing." ”

Hua Xiong was surprised: "So there is a messenger between Lu Yang and Yang Zhai?" ”

The scout said, "Yesterday, an envoy left Luyang and went to Yangzhai. ”

Hua Xiong smiled and said to the generals: "Lu Yang sent an envoy to Yang Zhai, this must be to ask for help, and Yang Zhai thief army did not move, did not reinforce the father city, Jiaxian, haha, as Xiangguo expected, the Wen thief, Sun thief, and Yuan thief all thought that our department was going to attack Luyang.
