Chapter VI Supplies
Dong Shouye was very well prepared for this trip to Luoyang to support, and he was there early in the morning and waited for him.
But when it happened, it was still a little sudden, I didn't expect Hu Zhen, one of the five major generals of the Xiliang Army, to be so cowardly, and the army arrived outside Luyang City, but he didn't dare to attack, but withdrew his army and extinguished his own prestige, which was laughed at. After that, the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu worked together, one south and one north, echoing each other, and posing as an active attack on Luoyang.
Yuan Shao sent Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Heyangjin, and made active preparations to cross the Yellow River to attack Luoyang, and the troops pointed directly at Xiaopingjin, Mengjin and other places on the north side of Luoyang; And Yuan Shu sent the general of Yuzhou Assassin Shi Sun Jian to lead 30,000 troops to Luyang, make an attack posture, actively plan to go north, and the Hu Zhen of Tunbing Yangcheng formed a confrontation situation, the troops pointed directly, the south side of Luoyang Pass Dagu Pass, Yi Yun Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and other places.
For a while, Luoyang was worried about being attacked by the north and south, and the shape was not optimistic.
After Dong Shouye asked for orders to go to Luoyang to support, he immediately reorganized his army and horses and prepared to set off, wanting to rush to the vicinity of Luoyang as much as possible to stabilize the situation and prevent the situation from deteriorating out of control.
But at this time, the problem came, for a while, it was impossible to raise the grain and grass needed by the 30,000 army for the war in a very short time, and it was not that there was no grain and grass, but because of Dong Shouye's cheap Lao Tzu, he built Hewu, and most of the grain and grass were placed near Hewu, in addition to the daily supply of various troops, the rest were tuned in Yiwu, and now due to the ambiguous attitude between Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Xiliang and Dong Zhuo, the enemy and me are not clear, so Dong Zhuo arranged for his younger brother Dong Min to lead a large army to be stationed near Yiwu, On the one hand, it is to guard Chang'an and deter Xiaoxiao, and on the other hand, it is also to guard against Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Xiliang.
Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang both rose in the end of Wei, and they had an advantage in the chaos after a long time of chaos, so it was impossible to have a few brushes. Ma Teng is a mixture of Han and Qiang people, the body is stout, the majesty is abnormal, is a famous hero of Xiliang, a body of martial arts amazing, a long knife defeated countless heroes of Xiliang, relying on extraordinary bravery in the chaotic land of Xiliang to break a great reputation. Han Sui is a famous man in Xiliang, who was well-known in the world in his early years, and was once hired by the general He Jinli to plan and advise. Han Sui was bold and radical, and suggested to He Jin to kill the Ten Standing Servants and reshape the dynasty, but He Jin himself was also inextricably linked with the Ten Standing Servants, so he hesitated and made a decision. Han Sui was disheartened, left He Jin, and returned to Xiliang. After the Liangbian Chapter of the Western Dynasty, Li Xiangru and others supported 100,000 people, raised troops to rebel against the imperial court, and Han Sui was also coerced into the army. This Han Sui is also a powerful man, and after several struggles, he has changed from a puppet leader to one of the actual rulers of the Xiliang rebels. After several more divisions and mergers, this Han Sui and Ma Teng became the two most powerful warlords in the Xiliang rebels.
This Han Sui and Ma Teng are strategic, one is brave, one is playing conspiracy, the other is playing with a big knife, the two cooperate with each other, cooperate with each other, and mix well in the chaotic land of Xiliang, and finally these two people are like-minded and worship brothers with different surnames.
Dong Shouye's cheap son Dong Zhuo once invited Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Xiliang warlords to come to Chang'an to help him, become allies, and share wealth. The two did not say anything, nor did they say no, and then Ma Teng responded to the call of the Kwantung Princes' Alliance to discuss Dong, and sent people to the coalition camp in Suozao to sign an alliance and swear to discuss Dong with the Kwantung princes.
After Ma Teng returned to Xiliang from the coalition camp, he did not take any action against Dong Zhuo, and then wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo with Han Sui, agreeing to rush to Chang'an. At this time, Dong Zhuo was very suspicious of Han Sui and Ma Teng's motives after the Kwantung Coalition Army, and immediately arranged an edict to let Han Sui and Ma Teng guard the city and not leave their posts without permission, and arranged for his younger brother Dong Min to defend Han Sui and Ma Teng in Yiwu, who was on the right side of the army, and was afraid that Dong Min might not necessarily win Han Sui and Ma Teng, and in view of the shortcomings of Han Sui and Ma Teng, they decided to buy more grain and grass and prepare for a protracted battle.
Originally, the famous general Huang Fu Song of the Han Dynasty was stationed on the right to support the wind, guarding against Xiliang, and there was Huang Fu Song before, so it was naturally foolproof and steady, but Dong Zhuo and Huang Fu Song can be said to have political disagreements, if Dong Zhuo let Huang Fu Song always lead the heavy troops to be stationed in the right Fu Feng, it is undoubtedly a time bomb around him, which will threaten Dong Zhuo at all times.
Dong Zhuo could only design to take over Huangfu Song's military power and reassign others, but in desperation, he had to choose his own brother Dong Min.
Dong Min tun Bingyi County, built Yiwu, and then accumulated grain and grass to prepare for a protracted battle, and Dong Zhuo also spent a lot of thought on Yiwu, claiming to use Yiwu as a place for his retirement. At this time, Dong Shouye's 30,000 soldiers and horses went out to fight, and it stands to reason that some of them should be raised from the vicinity of Chang'an, and most of the rest should be transferred from Yiwu. However, time is pressing, and it also costs a lot of grain and grass to transfer grain and grass from Hewu, so the delay in time is relatively large, which is not conducive to the current urgency.
Dong Shouye also hurried to the conference hall to discuss with his cheap son Dong Zhuo and cheap brother-in-law Li Ru.
After Dong Shouye met with his cheap son Dong Zhuo and his cheap brother-in-law, the two of them also knew Dong Shouye's intentions, so Dong Zhuo asked: "My son is in the dust, and his face is anxious, but is it for the sake of food and grass?" ”
Dong Shouye bowed, and then replied: "Back to my father, my father is like a god, and the child is here for this matter." ”
Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru again: "Wenyou, how much grain and grass has been raised now?" ”
Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Back to the prime minister, now the grain and grass of the 30,000 army has only been raised a little more than a third, and at present, most of the grain and grass baggage of our army are placed in Hewu in accordance with the military order of the prime minister. ”
When Dong Shouye heard Li Ru's words, he was immediately shocked, and said loudly: "Father, eldest brother-in-law, the military situation is urgent at this time, if it is delayed for seven days, I am afraid it will be a little too long, and it will be unfavorable to Luoyang." ”
Dong Zhuo was also a little distressed when he heard Dong Shouye's words, frowned, and then asked Li Ru again: "Wenyou, can't this matter be faster?" ”
