Chapter 91: Hu Zhen Dispatches Troops
Faced with Wen Chou's question, the man said respectfully: "There is a small battle, and the victory or defeat is not obvious. Hearing that the lord and General Sun and others attacked and won more than 10,000 victories, General Cao was very happy, and asked me to bring back the message to the lord, saying that the soldiers are valuable, and there are 30,000 Dong soldiers in Yique Zhuguan, and Hu Zhen is a fierce general. ”
Since Cao Cao was safe, Wen Chou was also relieved, and he was also interested in the movements of Yuan Shao's army, and asked, "Where is Chun Yuqiong's current army?" ”
The man replied respectfully, "In Heyangjin." ”
Wen Chou frowned and said, "Then did he ever fight with Dong Jun?" ”
The man said: "Captain Chun Yu only led his troops to hold on to the Dong army across the river, and there was no battle. ”
Yuan Shao said that he sent Chun Yuqiong to Mengjin, in fact, Chun Yuqiong did not go to Mengjin to garrison troops, Mengjin is on the south bank of the Yellow River, and is now garrisoned by Han Hao, the commander of Wang Kuang's army in Hanoi, Chun Yuqiong did not go to join forces with him, but pavilion on the opposite bank of Mengjin, Heyang on the north side of the Yellow River, he is not here to confront the front line of the Dong army, and the Dong army is separated by the Yellow River, of course, there will be no war with the Dong army.
But the problem is, if he doesn't go to Mengjin, only Han Hao is alone in Mengjin, relying on his little strength, it is still reluctant to defend the city, where will he have the spare strength to attack Dong Jun again, and respond to Wen Chou, Sun Jian and Cao Cao?
Wen scandal, I couldn't help but think: "Today, I hit Dong in three ways, and Chun Yuqiong stayed in Hebei and refused to cross south, this is to fold all the way first, fortunately I did not directly march to Yique Pass before, otherwise, the future is unpredictable." He thought again, "Yuan Benchu was the leader of the alliance for Dong this time, but he really didn't take responsibility, even though he had various difficulties such as the lack of food and straw, and the non-cooperation of Han Gong. But now that I, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian are attacking together, he, as the leader of the alliance, should not sit idly by, and in terms of his boldness, he is far inferior to Cao Cao and Sun Jian. This may be one of the reasons why it didn't work out in the end. ”
This question strengthened his determination, unless he waited for the news of Cao Cao's victory, he would never march further north.
Yique Guanzhong. Hu Zhen summoned the generals under his tent and was discussing the military, and this series of great victories by Wen Chou and Sun Jian made him bitter.
At this moment, I saw Hu Zhen show Dong Zhuo's military order, and said: "Xiangguo just issued a military order, saying that this time the Kwantung Prefecture and County raised troops, and all roads were not worried, and most of them were people who did nothing and could not achieve things. Only Wen Chou is quite cunning and fierce, Sun Jian is quite petty, not to be underestimated, now the two of them are joining forces to go north and detain my checkpoint, our department must not be easy to fight, and should strictly guard the gate, so as long as Wen and Sun can be blocked outside the gate. It's a great achievement for you. ”
"Ugly and cunning, fierce", in other words. is ugly, wise, and brave; "Sun Jian is quite small", in other words, Sun Jian doesn't know how to preserve his strength, he only knows how to blindly enter the war, and he is a reckless man who doesn't want to die. I have to say that Dong Zhuo's comments on Wen Chou and Sun Jian are quite appropriate.
Hu Zhen finished announcing Dong Zhuo's military order. He said to the generals: "If the order of the prime minister is like this, what objection do you have?" ”
A few days ago, after the news of Yang Ding's defeat and the destruction of the reinforcements reached Guanzhong, the Dong army guards in Guanzhong had always been arrogant, so how could they bear this breath. There was an uproar, many people asked for battle, and many people shouted that they wanted to lead the troops out of the customs and go to clean up Wen Chou and Sun Jian. As the main general of one party, Hu Zhen finally suppressed the anger in the army, and today he got Dong Zhuo's military order, so he immediately read it to them.
Dong Zhuo's prestige in his own army is unparalleled, and the Liangzhou soldiers under his account are not so much the country's troops, but have already become his private soldiers.
In this way, Hu Zhen's intention to suppress everyone was achieved, and Hu Zhen saw that all the generals had nothing to say, and he didn't say much, so he wanted to break up the meeting.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a person rushed into the room with the wind.
Hu Zhen raised his eyes and saw that it was a strategist of his cronies, and said unhappily: "I'm in the military discussion, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”
The cronie gasped and said, "Good news, good news!" It can be seen that it is urgent.
When Hu Zhen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What good news?" ”
"General Xu broke Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin, and beheaded Bao Tao, Wei Zi, and Zhang Yi, Cao and Bao's soldiers were killed and wounded, Cao and Bao were only spared, and only Zhang Miao led half of his men to stay in the rear to survive, and he especially shrank and did not dare to enter!"
Bao Tao is Bao Xin's younger brother, Zhang Yi is Zhang Miao's brother, Wei Zi is Zhang Miao's general, and the three of them are Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin's army officers second only to Cao, Zhang, and Bao, and even all three of them were killed, which shows how fierce the battle between Cao Cao and Xu Rong was, and Zhang Miao was not very radical, so he did not end up completely defeated.
Hearing this news, the generals who were about to be separated in the room were in high spirits, and someone immediately shouted: "Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin were defeated, and Chun Yu Qiongtun was in Heyang and did not dare to go south. General, since we have no worries, we can attack Wen and Sun with all our might, and why don't we send troops quickly, that is, rush to attack them? ”
Hu Zhen hesitated and said, "Xiangguo's military order has just been issued, how can we rush to battle?" ”
One said: "This time, that time." When Xiangguo's order was issued, General Xu had not yet defeated Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin, and Xiangguo would have ordered us to strictly guard the checkpoints and not to fight, but now Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin have been defeated, and Wen Chou and Sun Jian are lonely and difficult to speak, and it is the time for me to attack. ”
Hu Zhen hesitated and said: "Wait for me to report to Xiangguo, and wait for Xiangguo to decide." ”
Another general said: "Yique is nearly 100 miles away from Luoyang, and when Xiangguo's military order comes down, Wen Chou and Sun Jianbi have also learned the news of the defeat of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin. ”
"Can't catch up?" Hu Zhen muttered to himself, thinking in his heart, "Yes, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin are defeated like this, and Wen Chou and Sun Jianbu are indeed alone, and there is only one way to retreat." If our army can chase and kill for a while when he retreats, it will definitely be a great military feat. ”
Retreat is more difficult than attacking, especially when learning the news of the defeat of friendly forces, the army's heart is fluctuating, and retreating is even more difficult.
Hu Zhen is also a person who made a decision on the spot, and after thinking of this, he immediately made a decision, saying: "The generals will listen to the order, immediately order ten thousand people, and immediately go out of the customs. ”
was defeated by Wen Chou and Sun Jian two or three times in a row, Hu Zhen also held his breath in his heart, he wanted to take this military merit of pursuing the enemy and winning a triumphant victory. (To be continued......)
