Chapter Seventy-One: Arriving in Ji County

After Dong Shouye's general Yang Feng won a small victory in the Tiger Valley, he led the army to leave the Tiger Valley and drove to Ji County.

In case he loses in the confrontation between Han Sui and Ma Teng, this is also a way out, but he can also calmly cross the Tiger Shooting Valley, return to Yixian, and make a comeback.

Soon, Dong Shouye led his men and horses to a place about thirty or forty miles away from Ji County, and the ranger sentry in front had already clashed with the ranger sentry of Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Seeing this, Dong Shouye stopped his troops and stopped, and at the same time sent a messenger into the county seat of Jixian County to get in touch with Wei Duan in the city.

After sending a few waves of detailed work, they found that it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all. The study sent out seems to be a meat bun beating a dog and never going back, and it seems that Han Sui and Ma Teng have done a relatively good job of blocking the county seat of Jixian County.

Han Sui and Ma Teng came with 100,000 people this time, although Ji County is the seat of Liangzhou, but the soldiers and horses in the city are actually less than 20,000, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled among them, and the real effective combat power is 12,300 people, otherwise it would not be so wolf. Therefore, Han Sui and Ma Teng can completely surround and block the county seat of Ji.

The Art of War: "Ten will surround it, and five will attack it." ”

Han Sui and Ma Teng's men and horses were almost ten times larger than those of Liangzhou Muweiduan, so they naturally chose to surround the city. Now Wei Duan can be said to be difficult to fly with wings.

Dong Shouye saw that he could not get in touch with Wei Duan in Jixian County in a short period of time, so he gave up and ordered the whole army to make an attack posture.

When Han Sui and Ma Teng saw that Dong Shouye had arrived not far from the city of Ji County, they made an attack posture. reacted immediately, and sent a part of the soldiers and horses surrounding the county seat of Jixian County to confront Dong Shouye's army from afar.

At this time, Dong Shouye once again sent a fine work to contact the city of Ji County, this time it was much smoother, after Han Sui and Ma Teng chose to confront Dong Shouye's army, their main energy was to focus on Dong Shouye's army as a strong reinforcement, but gradually lifted the blockade of Ji County.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have been besieging the county seat of Jixian for some time, but they have not made any major breakthroughs, and the progress of the siege is not very smooth. For Han Sui and Ma Teng, this battle is not to capture the county seat of Ji County, even if it is successful in capturing the county seat of Ji County, there is not much benefit, after all, Liangzhou is barren, and even the seat of Liangzhou does not have much oil and water to fish in Ji County.

What Han Sui and Ma Teng want is the benefits they get from Dong Zhuo. Even if Wei Duan is arrested, it will not be of much use, and Ji County is in front of him, so he can't run.

It is unlikely that Wei Duan, as a pastor of Liangzhou, wants to abandon the city and abscond, because this guy has always been a person who cherishes feathers, and Wei Duan will definitely not do anything that affects his reputation as a deserter.

After Dong Shouye got in touch with Wei Duan, he did not choose to break through the army of Han Sui and Ma Teng and enter the city directly, but chose to set up camp not far from the city, forming a horn with the defenders in the county seat of Ji County.

Dong Shouye's army and the defenders in Ji County can support and cooperate with each other, and at the same time, it can also form a kind of pressure and deterrence on Han Sui and Ma Teng's army.

Liangzhou has been in turmoil for many years, and the imperial court has not been able to control it for a long time. Therefore, there are many places on the ground in Liangzhou that have traces of war left after the war. Hanyang County has always been one of the main battlefields, and Duan Ying, one of the three Ming Dynasty in Liangzhou, built a dock fort near the Tiger Valley to defend against the attack of the Western Liang rebels.

The address where Dong Shouye chose to camp was near the dock fort built by Duan Ying that year.

Duan Ying used some wooden fences and some earthen walls to build the dock fort, and after twenty or thirty years of wind and rain, the remaining dock forts are already dilapidated.

The place is bad, but it's better than nothing.

Dong Shouye was not picky about this point, and led the army into the dock fort built by Duan Ying that year, and commanded the soldiers to simply repair the dock fort to cope with the next war.

However, Dong Shouye didn't need to use any brains about this kind of thing, just follow the old method of his ancestors, and let the soldiers under his command cut down some timber from nearby to make a wooden fence.

Encampment is a compulsory course for every general to lead the troops to fight, Dong Shouye got a lot of strategies from his father Dong Zhuo before, plus the practical experience accumulated during this period of time to lead the troops to fight, as well as some more common military knowledge in later generations, several aspects combined, Dong Shouye did a good job, so people can't find faults, even experts can't find anything wrong with Dong Shouye's camping methods.

The soldiers knew that they might have to spend the next period of time in this dock fort, so it was very hard to build, after all, it was their own place to live, and who didn't want their own nest to be more comfortable.

After finishing this qiē, Dong Shouye wanted to convene his subordinates to discuss how the next war should be conducted, you must know that the general tone set by Dong Shouye and his father Dong Zhuo in Chang'an City was to negotiate peace, and let Han Sui and Ma Teng return to their respective stations.

The reason why we are thinking about how to fight now is so that the two sides can sit down and talk about it in the future. The so-called substitution of offense for defense and seeking peace through war is the case.

War is very easy to fight, as long as an order is given, the soldiers on both sides can pick up their swords and rush to kill each other, and then fight desperately, fighting to the death. But how to control the war is a big problem, after all, the war is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, as long as the end of the war starts, it will be full of blood, and countless people will be killed.

As the losses of both sides continued to intensify, the hatred between the two sides began to accumulate, and after a certain period of time, the heads of both sides wanted to negotiate peace, but it was not an easy task.

Dong Shouye led the troops to Liangzhou this time, and the first battle was a victory, and the 3,000 men and horses arranged by Han Sui and Ma Teng in the Shooting Tiger Valley were eaten up, and there was no one left, except for the battle deaths, all were surrendered, and those who did not surrender were also imprisoned.

Some people also persuaded Dong Shouye to kill all these prisoners of war, give Han Sui and Ma Teng some color, and not to mention save Lang money. Dong Shouye refused for the sake of future peace talks, and in his opinion these prisoners of war might be used in the future.

Killing on a spree of anger will not solve any problem, only maximizing benefits is the most suitable choice.
