Chapter Fifty-Eight: Leading the Troops to the Battle
In the middle of November of the second year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo appointed Dong Shouye as the general of Zhengxi to lead the wind and guard.
Fufeng Taishou is also called right Fufeng, is one of the three solitary seats, and its jurisdiction can also be called Fufeng County. Fufeng County is one of the three auxiliaries, and the so-called three auxiliaries are Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Feng Yi, and Right Fufeng.
Originally, Dong Zhuo was only going to worship Dong Shouye as the general of Zhengxi, after all, General Zhengxi was a veritable heavy general, with a high and powerful position. At that time, there were many people in the court who objected to Dong Zhuo's worship of his son as the general of the expedition to the west, but Dong Zhuo's words made these people shut up, Dong Zhuo meant that if you have the ability to lead the soldiers and horses to fight Han Sui and Ma Teng, these officials who only know how to sing high-profile on weekdays will immediately wilt when they hear that they are going to the chaotic land of Xiliang, and no one dares to speak out against it.
Dong Shouye still asked his father to add a right wind to him for future considerations.
The official position of Right Fufeng is not big for Dong Zhuo, but it is not small, even if it is a local official, it is also a Beijing official. But the impact is not small, like the general Taishou, the state pastor and other officials need to be in the station, without the emperor's call, they can't leave the station without authorization, but this right Fufeng can often meet the emperor.
After weighing it repeatedly, Dong Zhuo saw that his son wanted this official position very much, so he agreed.
After arranging many fifteen in Chang'an City, Dong Shouye rode to Xinfeng, met with the generals under his command, and then led the troops to set off to Xiliang.
The generals who have been training in Xinfeng have long been idle, and they are gearing up one by one, wanting to go to the battlefield again and make meritorious contributions.
The general didn't fight big, and it was even more uncomfortable than a single without a woman.
This time, Dong Shouye was followed by Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Wei, Zhang Ji, Du Ji, and Yang Feng. Dian Wei and Hua Xiong remained in Chang'an City to protect Dong Zhuo.
When the army reached Chang'an City, Dong Shouye asked Hua Xiong to enter Chang'an City to join Dian Wei.
Dong Shouye is still with 30,000 horses under his command, starting from Xinfeng, Lu Jing Chang'an City and then all the way west to Huaili of the right Fufeng, this Huaili is the place where Huangfu Song led 30,000 soldiers and horses to protect the imperial tomb, as long as the rebels of Xiliang capture Huaili, Chang'an City will be in no danger to defend, like a girl without clothes to be slaughtered, it is also an important place.
After leaving Huaili, the army went straight to Wugong County, and then entered Yi County to meet Dong Min.
Dong Min is Dong Shouye's third uncle, the official residence of the left general, leading 50,000 troops to garrison Yixian.
Dong Zhuo's pension site was built here.
Dong Shouye originally didn't understand why Dong Zhuo would build a dock in Yixian County and sent Dong Min to garrison 50,000 soldiers and horses, but after arriving at this place, he realized that it would be a fool if he didn't do it!
How to say it, the west of Yi County is Chencang County, and the west of Chencang County is Dasanguan. Needless to say, the importance of the Dasan Pass is one of the four passes in Guanzhong, and it has been the "throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi" since ancient times, and the place where soldiers must fight.
To the south of Yixian is the Slope Valley. The mountains on both sides of the valley are steep and treacherous. Strangling Shaanxi and controlling Sichuan and Shu has been a battleground for soldiers in ancient times.
That is to say, whether it is an enemy from Xiliang from the west or an enemy from Hanzhong in the south, they can't bypass Yixian.
As long as Yixian is not lost, the enemy can only storm Yixian, otherwise it will be cut off and homeless. As long as Yixian County is not lost, there will be no problems with the back-up of Chang'an City.
Dong Shouye led his soldiers and horses to Yixian, and then went straight to Yiwu to meet his third uncle.
Dong Min also greeted Dong Shouye outside the dock a long time ago.
Dong Shouye saw from a distance that it was the third uncle who came out to greet him in person, and hurriedly rode forward quickly, came to Dong Min's face, jumped off the horse, half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The child has seen the third uncle." ”
Dong Min stepped forward with a smile to help Dong Shouye up, and said, "You kid, you are all your own family, what are you polite about." ”
Dong Shouye said with a straight face: "Shouye, as a junior, it is natural and righteous to bow to the third uncle, if there is no courtesy, won't it make the world laugh at our Dong family for not knowing how to be respectful?" ”
Dong Min smiled, nodded, stretched out his hand again, helped Dong Shouye dust off his body, and said, "Come into the city quickly!" "It's strange to say that the Dong family has not had a prosperous heir since Dong Zhuo's generation, although there are some girls, but there are very few men, Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Zhuo died early, and one son is Dong Huang; Dong Zhuo's two sons, one died early, and the other was Dong Shouye; Although Dong Min is nearly fifty years old, he has always been childless, so he has always been very close to Dong Shouye, so he treats him as his own son, sometimes he loves Dong Shouye more than Dong Zhuo, but he is not so close to Dong Huang. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo had discussed with Dong Min to marry Dong Shouye, and Dong Min also specially asked Dong Shouye to inherit the incense on his door if he was a prosperous heir in the future. Dong Zhuo camped on the spot. Of course, this kind of thing was very common in ancient times, and even in today's society, this phenomenon exists.
Dong Shouye smiled at the third uncle, and followed Dong Min into Yiwu.
After arranging for the garrison to camp, Dong Shouye took his civil and military forces to meet Dong Min.
Dong Min also set up a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Dong Shouye.
During the banquet, Dong Min said: "Keep your business! In fact, the third uncle is not as good as your father, your father is on the battlefield and has excellent martial arts, but the third uncle and I are average, the martial arts are ordinary, and the leading troops are also average. When your father appointed me as General Zuo to lead 50,000 troops to build Yiwu, I didn't want to agree to the troops in Yixian, I just wanted to run errands behind your father. At that time, there were not many people around your father who could use it. I was just driven to the shelves and became the general who led the troops. ”
Dong Shouye said with a smile when he heard this: "Third uncle, you are too modest, the child sees that you are old and strong, and you are still majestic." ”
Dong Min picked up a glass of wine and stood up, and said, "I don't know how many catties I have?" Okay now, I heard your father say that you defeated Sun Jian's nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses with 50,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang some time ago, can you do this? ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he said: "This is indeed the case, the child relied on the blessing of his father and the third uncle, and won by luck." ”
When Dong Min heard this, his face turned straight and he said, "You kid shouldn't read with that Zheng Tai, and read your brain badly." Knowing humility all day long. Our old Dong family has never had a bad seed, all of them are good, not to mention Sun Jian's 100,000 people, even if it is 200,000 people, they will be defeated in your hands. You should learn from your father, think that he defeated 30,000 rebels with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and that battle was so tragic that your father had less than 2,000 men and horses left in his hands in the end. Victory is victory, why be humble? ”
When Dong Shouye heard Dong Min reprimanding him, he suddenly felt a little speechless, but he couldn't refute it out loud, so he could only nod his head like a grandson.
