After the victory, Dong Shouye arranged personnel to clean up the battlefield and collect the surrendered troops, and the battle was counted to nearly 5,000 soldiers, three or four thousand people were killed in the Baibo army, and another part was drowned in the water, and the dead bodies went down the river, and they could not be found, and the rest were all routed and fled.

Seeing this, Dong Shouye quickly turned back to the city of Wenxi County, and attacked the city with the surrender of troops as the forerunner.

Then he led a large army, escorted the prisoners' grain and grass, rushed to Anyi, and distributed the grain and grass that could not be taken away to the local people, and the grain and grass that could not be divided were directly burned. did not leave men and horses to guard, and directly abandoned the city.

At this time, there were still 70,000 people in the Baibo Yellow Turban Army besieging Anyi, and Dong Shouye did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he hurriedly went to Anyi. If you don't know how to accept it when you see it, I'm afraid there is a possibility that you will be dumplings made by the main force of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army.

When they arrived at the city of Anyi, it was already dark, and at this time, Dong Shouye had already contacted Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others in the city, and agreed to be in the city of Anyi tonight. When he arrived at the city gate, Dong Shouye immediately arranged for his subordinates to hand over the official seal of the clerk and give it to the defenders in Anyi City for inspection. Not long after, the city gate was opened, and a general-like leader led the army into the city. In addition, the defenders of the city tightened their guard to prevent the White Wave and Yellow Turban Army from attacking when their men and horses entered the city.

When they entered the city, they met Zhang Ji and organized people to camp and rest. That Zhang was naturally overjoyed when he saw his lord return victorious, and said to Dong Shouye: "In this battle, the lord besieged the city to send reinforcements, and the 15,000 reinforcements who ambushed the white wave thieves won a big victory, which is really like a god with soldiers!" ”

Dong Shouye was naturally in a good mood when he returned from a big victory, and smiled at Zhang Ji and said: "De Rong, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are good at slapping!" The victory in this battle was due to the active contribution of everyone during the previous military discussion, coupled with the careful use of troops by all the soldiers to achieve such a great victory! ”

Zhang saw that Dong Shouye was in a good mood, and also teased himself, saying that he was a sycophant, and he felt more comfortable, and said to Dong Shouye: "The lord is young, but he can win without arrogance and defeat, which is really a great blessing for our army!" ”

Niu Fu arranged a banquet and led a group of generals to wash the dust for Dong Shouye and others.

At the banquet, Dong Shouye had the opportunity to take a closer look at his cheap brother-in-law. I saw that Niu Fu was a typical Kansai man, burly, full of beard, with big shoulders and a round waist, about four or five centimeters taller than Dong Shouye, and he was also a good man with a height of eight feet. It just looks quite murderous on his face.

During the banquet, it was inevitable to talk about Dong Shouye's great victory in Xiangshui, and he captured Wenxi County or countless grains and grasses. praised Dong Shouye for being young and promising, and using soldiers like a god, and Niu Fu, as Dong Shouye's cheap brother-in-law, naturally raised his brother-in-law in front of everyone and improved his reputation. If someone else led 30,000 men to fight, and did not achieve any results, but lost his troops and lost his generals, and his own reinforcements only used 10,000 men to defeat the 15,000 people of the White Polish army, then he would definitely not be mad with jealousy, and he would not secretly stumble.

In fact, the reason why Dong Shouye dared to besiege the city with light troops and set up an ambush on the north bank of the river was because he had made a plan with Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Li Dao and others. First lead the army to surround Wenxi, and then besiege the city to send reinforcements, if the Baibo army has fewer reinforcements, then set up an ambush on the north bank of the river to annihilate the reinforcements. If the whole army of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army rushed back, the Niu Auxiliary Army would go out of the city to pursue, and Dong Bai would lead the army to attack again, attacking the main force of the Baibo Army on both sides.

Although the number of the Bai Bo army is almost twice that of Dong Shouye and Niu Fu's combined forces, after all, the combat power of the equipment is not as good as the combined forces of the two, but it is difficult to defeat the front and rear attacks of the two armies.

Now, for Niu Fu, it is obvious that his brother-in-law is young and promising, and he will definitely inherit the family business in the future, take charge of the Xiliang Army, and become the commander of one party. After a hundred years of his father-in-law, he will definitely serve him as the Lord in the future. Before, all the generals of the Xiliang Army were worried about their future, and they didn't know who would be able to carry the banner after Dong Zhuo a hundred years later, Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min and nephew Dong Huangwei had no wisdom and ability, and they were okay as a general, but it was really not good to let them take charge alone or even as the commander of one party. Niu Fu and Li Ru, although they have some hopes to inherit the Xiliang Army.

But as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, the identity is embarrassing, and the son-in-law at that time was very much looked down upon, even in the 21st century, in many parts of my country, especially in the north, the son-in-law was also looked down upon. Even Li Ru is talented, can stand alone, and his wisdom is as deep as the sea. This is also an insurmountable flaw, not to mention Niu Fu, who is not as resourceful as Li Ru.

Therefore, when Li Ru saw Dong Shouye's request to lead the troops, Li Ru immediately stood up and spared no effort to support. This is not a personal matter for Li Ru and Niu Fu, this is a major matter related to the future development of the Xiliang Army. At any time, if a group has no heirs or no suitable heirs, it will be the destruction of the entire group. The Xiliang army without an heir will not be able to continue to develop, will not be able to keep the existing fruits, and the future can only be divided and destroyed by others.

The historical Xiliang Army had no heir due to the early death of Dong Zhuo's son, so after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Ru disappeared, Niu Fu's ability was limited and he could not effectively control the Xiliang Army. And because Niu Fu was unable to integrate the Western Liang Army, the Western Liang Army was even more centrifugal and internally divided, Niu Fu was killed by his subordinate Hu Chi'er rebellion, and after Niu Fu's death, the Western Liang Army was leaderless and fell into division.

Later, Li Ru reappeared, but the main force of the Xiliang Army had been controlled by Li Dao, Li Dao could not trust Li Ru like Dong Zhuo, and at the same time he was suspicious of guarding against Li Ru, and Li Ru was powerless to return to the sky.

In addition, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hated Li Ru to the core, and he was always unwilling to let Li Ru go out of the mountain again, and Li Dao also took precautions against Li Ru, and in the end Li Ru did nothing. At the same time, Sun Jianjun, who had a similar experience with the Xiliang Army, after Sun Jian's death, several confidant generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others always surrounded Sun Ce. At this time, Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and Sun Ce took the opportunity to draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, began to stand on his own, and finally achieved a foundation, laying a good foundation for Sun Quan's Eastern Wu regime. This is off-topic.

Dong Shouye was also very satisfied when he saw that Niu Fu did not despise himself. I also have the heart to win over my cheap second brother-in-law, Niu Fu's ability is definitely not first-class, but as a general, there is no problem in guarding one side, Dong Zhuo enters Jingqin Wang, Niu Fu has been staying in Dong Zhuo's hometown Hedong, it can be seen that Dong Zhuo also trusts his ability very much. When the Kwantung princes' coalition army attacked Dong Zhuo, they were worried that the Kwantung coalition army would attack Luoyang from Hanoi, so they moved the capital to Chang'an, and Niu Futun troops were stationed in Hedong, so that the Kwantung princes could never cross the Yellow River north of the Yellow River and attack Chang'an, effectively ensuring the safety of Dong Zhuo's left flank.

Dong Shouye is now taking precautions, Li Ru and Niu Fu as their eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law have no need to worry about their loyalty, and the two of them, as die-hard fans of Dong Zhuo, are also very beneficial to their future mastery of the Xiliang Army. Moreover, Li Ru is unparalleled in wisdom and resourcefulness, and can be called the first strategist in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms. In the future, you will have to give advice to yourself.

So Dong Shouye was quite respectful and polite to Niu Fu, a second brother-in-law with a sweet mouth, and Niu Fu was full of joy, and he became more and more confident and found his position.

However, it was said that Guo Tai, Yang Feng and others, the leaders of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army, were taken away when they saw Wenwen, the grain and grass had been lost, and the reinforcements sent were defeated again. I panicked, and gradually had the heart to retreat. It's just that I'm afraid that Niu Fu will lead the rank to pursue, and the horses led by Li Le, Hu Cai and others have not yet returned. Therefore, he did not dare to retreat lightly for a while.

On the second day, Niu Fu summoned the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss how to march into the army.

Niu Fu said: "Generals, the reinforcements of our army have arrived in Anyi City, this is Dong Bai Dong Shouye, the leading general of the army who came to the aid of our army this time, is the son of the imperial master and a young hero. ”

After that, he pointed at Dong Shouye with his hand and introduced Dong Shouye to everyone.

Dong Shouye greeted the generals present, and introduced Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Li Dao and others under his command to the generals present.

Niu Fu saw that his cheap brother-in-law had already finished greeting with his subordinate generals, so he said: "This time, Captain Dong has already led the army to capture Wenxi County, which has been captured by the White Wave Thief Army, before entering Anyi, and obtained countless grains and grass, and ambushed it in the south of Wenxi County, the 15,000 men and horses of the White Wave Thief Army, and the group of White Wave Thieves who supported Wenxi were basically wiped out. Now that our army has won this great victory, its morale has been greatly boosted, and it is just time to work together to make persistent efforts to exterminate the White Wave Thief Army, I don't know what the generals think? ”

Dong Shouye said at this time: "This time, we led the army to attack the grain and grass of the White Wave Thief Army, and completely annihilated the 15,000 reinforcements sent to Wenxi by the White Wave Thief Army. ”

Niu Fu and everyone felt that what Dong Shouye said made sense, so they acted according to the plan.

The next day, Dong Shouye and Niu Fu led the troops into battle. It turned out that Niu Fu and others saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and the army's morale was greatly boosted, and the grain and grass of the Baibo army in Wenxi County had been lost, so they were even more confident, so they set a strategy with everyone, led the troops to fight and hung the Baibo army, and then pursued after their food was exhausted.

Niu Fu's subordinate Hu Chi'er was the first to meet the challenge, and Bai Bojun fought alone, and in less than three rounds, he was beheaded by Hu Chi'er. Immediately afterwards, Bai Bo came out with another general, but he still died in the hands of Hu Chi'er. Yang Feng, who was on the side of the Baibo army, was furious when he saw this, jumped on his horse and carried a gun, came out of the crowd, and shouted: "I am Yang Feng, the general of Baibo, see how I take my life." ”

This Yang Feng has some skills and good martial arts, and he fought with Hu Chi'er for more than 20 rounds, and Hu Chi'er returned to the camp after being defeated. Seeing this, Dong Shouye motioned for Zhang Liao to fight.
