Chapter 5 Leading the troops eastward
Just when the Yuan brothers decided to send troops, the first year of Chuping was over, and the second year of Chuping (191) had already begun.
Dong Shouye also spent the second Spring Festival in the land of Dahan, and generally speaking, it feels okay, Dong Zhuo needless to say to himself, the old lady is also very affectionate to herself, as well as Dong Min. Dong Huang Some people from the Dong clan also take good care of themselves, and it is also very good for a family of nearly 100 people of all ages to have a reunion dinner together.
The good times didn't last long, and Dong Shouye hadn't been happy for a few days before the bad news came. Dong Shouye learned from his cheap son Dong Zhuo: "Hu Zhen, the general in the Xiliang Army, failed to attack Luyang, and he was so bad that he didn't even hurt a single hair of Sun Jianjun's army, but retreated in disgrace. Fortunately, I heard that Sun Jianjun's men and horses had reached 30,000, and he could be regarded as getting first-hand information, which made up for it a little. ”
Because Hu Zhen's personality is relatively impatient, he didn't wait for the reinforcements of the handsome guy Lu to meet him before he attacked without permission, and the reinforcements of the handsome guy Lu were still running on the way to support, and they hadn't arrived at the designated place yet?
After the news reached Chang'an, the crowd was also very speechless and depressed.
At this time, Dong Zhuo led everyone to discuss how to deal with it at this time, and whether it was necessary to send someone to support Hu Zhen again.
Dong Zhuo opened his mouth and said: "Sun Jian is brave and good at fighting, his strategy and insight are extraordinary, he is really a strong enemy of our army, pass on the order, the army must not underestimate this person, be sure to take this matter to heart, be careful, and do not underestimate the enemy." ”
Dong Zhuo's long history Liu Ai said: "I heard that Sun Jian once fought with the prime minister in Liangzhou to defeat Xiqiang, and he was no more than a horse. This time, he played a little clever, he thought he had a plan, forgive him and he didn't have any big skills, so the prime minister didn't have to worry too much. ”
Dong Zhuo asked: "Liu Changshi underestimated this person, so how does Liu Changshi think this matter should be handled?" ”
Liu Ai replied: "This person used to work with the prime minister, and he must also have some understanding of our army's tactics, and it is estimated that Sun Jian has also heard of it. In my opinion, Sun Jian's ability is similar to that of Li Dao and Guo Yan, but Li Dao and Guo Yan's personality and tactics must already be known to him, and even if they are sent to the battlefield, the role they play can only be on par with Sun Jian. At this time, Lu Wenhou had already led his troops to support General Hu Zhen, and it was expected that these two people would be able to defeat Sun Jian together. ”
Dong Zhuo said again: "If there is only Sun Jian, then it is indeed no big problem, but now Hanoi is too guarded by Wang Kuangtun to fight in Heyangjin, which seems to have the intention of crossing the river to attack Luoyang. Moreover, Wang Kuang's army had 20,000 people, and Sun Jian's army also had 30,000 people, and the combined strength of the two forces was more than 50,000 people, and it was a trend of attacking from the north and south. At this time, General Xu Rong had only more than 10,000 people under his hands, and Yin Zhujun in Henan had seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses under his hands, but this person's intentions are now unclear, his attitude is ambiguous, and he has many contacts with the princes of Kwantung. General Dong Yue led 20,000 horses along the Hangu Pass, and the first line of Michi was deployed layer by layer, and it was probably difficult to draw troops to effectively support Luoyang. Now the available troops near Luoyang are more than 10,000 people stationed in Yanshi by General Xu Rong and 10,000 people by General Hu Zhen stationed in Yangcheng, and the combined strength of the two is only more than 20,000 people, which is far from the more than 50,000 people added by Wang Kuang and Sun Jian. Although it is said that our army is elite and has been in war for a long time, the things on the battlefield are ever-changing, and the difference in strength is not beautiful after all. Besides, this Sun Jian's ability is no less than that of General Xu Rong of our army. I am afraid that the two are chess opponents, and their strength is comparable, Xu Rong does not have many troops in his hands, and I am afraid it will be difficult to win against Sun Jian. ”
At this time, Dong Shouye said loudly: "Father, the child is willing to lead his men and horses to Luoyang, support General Xu, cooperate with General Xu, and defeat them, and will definitely not let Sun Jian and Wang Kuang meet in Luoyang, and will definitely not let them gain a firm foothold near Luoyang." Please agree with your father. ”
Dong Zhuo was also very happy when he saw his baby son asking for his life. Originally, he was ready to fight on his own, but now that he has his baby son going on the expedition on behalf of his father, there is no problem. This Dong Shouye has also made a lot of meritorious contributions in the recent southern and northern wars, plus he has also collected a lot of talents recently, it is estimated that with the assistance of these elite generals, coupled with Dong Shouye's own talent and heroism, there should be no big problem in defeating Sun Jian.
Then he said to Dong Shouye: "If my son asks for war, why worry about his father." However, Sun Jian is an extraordinary person with extraordinary knowledge and is quite capable of employing people, you must not underestimate him, you must actively attach importance to it, and fight this battle for your father. As for Wang Kuang's side, this person is a corrupt Confucian scholar, long in history and negligent in military affairs. With a little trickery, you can defeat him, and as for the specific methods and strategies, you can consult with the people under your command! ”
So, Dong Shouye retired and prepared for the upcoming journey. Before leaving, Dong Shouye met with his eldest brother-in-law Li Ru again to see if he had anything to tell him.
To tell the truth, Dong Shouye is not too sure about this expedition, after all, he is facing a generation of famous generals "Jiangdong Tigers" Sun Jian, but in view of Dong Shouye's current situation, he has to go, and Dong Zhuo of the current Xiliang Army is very old, and now he basically does not personally lead the troops to fight, and the battles on the front line are generally handed over to the command of the generals under his command.
For this point, Dong Shouye is required to grow into a general who is in charge of his own affairs, and lead the troops to fight instead of his father Dong Zhuo, which is not only a policy strategy that is more in line with the actual situation of the Xiliang Army, but also Dong Zhuo's own wish, and it is the only way for Dong Shouye to save his life. Hope son Jackie Chan, this sentence is no exception to Dong Zhuo, as a veteran of the Xiliang Army who has fought for many years and has his left shoulder, Dong Zhuo also very much hopes that his son Dong Bai can inherit his career and make certain achievements in military affairs, so that he will be in charge of the Xiliang Army in the future. For Dong Shouye, the world will be chaotic, only by holding the army can he ensure his own life, and can he calmly face all kinds of complex situations. Dong Shouye, as a good socialist young man who grew up under the red flag and walked in the spring breeze, has always kept in mind the words of Emperor Taizu as the foundation of his life since he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Therefore, although Dong Shouye was not sure of the battle, he still sent troops without hesitation, for no other reason, that is, to master the military power, hone himself, and force himself to grow as much as possible. However, Dong Shouye also has certain advantages in his own right, with countless elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, Dian Wei, Li Wei, Du Ji, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and other civil and military assistants, Dong Shouye believes that he also has various favorable conditions for defeating opponents.
Since you have to fight, then fight desperately.
Aim your sword in the sky and do your best to defeat your enemies, and that's it.
The long knife hissed, and the bloody battle was fought to the end.
