Luo Zheng said loudly: "The Art of War: Move if it is in line with the benefits, and stop if it is not in the interests of the people." Therefore, the general will think that those who use troops need to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use their own strengths to attack the enemy's weakness in order to defeat the enemy's victory. The advantage of our army lies in the advantage of cavalry, and the weakness of the Kwantung rebels lies in the fact that there is no cavalry available. ”

Dong Zhuo frowned and was silent, and his heart was even more unhappy.

It's easier said than done.

I thought this kid was a talent, but he was only good at talking on paper.

A general sneered and said: "It's easy to talk about using your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, so you might as well say it if you have any ideas." ”

"Haha!"

The generals in the hall burst into laughter, all of them showing disdain.

Li Ru also said: "If General Luo has any clever strategy for retreating from the enemy, you might as well say it directly." ”

Luo Zheng turned his heart sideways and said loudly: "Our army has the advantage of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but it is really taboo for soldiers to drive it to defend the city. The advantage of cavalry lies in its strong ability to maneuver, if it is driven to guard the pass, and how can it be used by foot soldiers. The lord only needs to hold the Tiger Prison with a small number of elite foot soldiers, and then punish the general to lead a cavalry out of the Wuguan Pass to kill into the Central Plains, and take advantage of the fact that all the princes from all walks of life gather in the Tiger Prison Pass and the rear is empty, and the Central Plains will be turned upside down, and it is best to copy the nest of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and the Kwantung rebels will soon retreat. ”

"This ......"

Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.

Li Ru, who was standing next to him, also suddenly brightened his eyes, then his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Luo Zheng coldly.

The generals in the hall were all contemplative, obviously thinking about whether this plan was feasible.

Dong Zhuo turned his head and asked, "What does Wen You think about this?" ”

Li Ru pondered for a moment, knowing that Dong Zhuo had already been moved, so he had no choice but to say: "Confucianism thinks this plan is feasible. ”

Dong Zhuo looked around the hall again and said, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Rong was the first to agree, "It will be feasible for this purpose." ”

The rest of the generals saw that Li Ru and Xu Rong had already agreed, and they also seconded it.

Dong Zhuo patted the case and said: "Okay, according to this plan, then who can take on this role?" ”

"The last will go."

As soon as the words fell, almost all the generals in the hall hurriedly got up and went out of the queue and shouted for their lives.

This is a great opportunity for meritorious service, and no one wants to miss it.

Even Lu Bu hurried to the stage, wanting to lead the troops to the battle.

Dong Zhuo first glanced at Lu Bu, frowned, and said, "If Wu'er leads the army to go on the expedition, who can protect his own appearance?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Bu looked unwilling, hurriedly lowered his head, and retreated to the side stupidly.

Luo Zheng hurriedly said loudly: "My lord, the last general is willing to share the worries of the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo glanced at him, swept the generals again, and finally asked Li Ru, "I intend to order Hu Zhen to be the main general, Luo Zheng, Niu Jin, and Hu Mao as deputy generals, and lead 8,000 iron cavalry to the Kanto region, what does Wen You think?" ”

Li Ru said: "The lord is wise, and there is no disagreement below. ”

Dong Zhuo immediately broke off and said: "Okay, Hu Zhen, Hu Mao, Niu Jin, Luo Zheng listen to the order." ”

The four generals who were named were overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to stand by.

The rest of the generals looked disappointed and returned to the train in despair.

Dong Zhuo said: "With Hu Zhen as the main general, Niu Jin, Hu Mao, and Luo Zheng as the deputy generals, with a rate of 8,000 cavalry, we will go out of Wuguan to conquer the Guanzhong lands, and we will send troops tomorrow, and we must turn the Central Plains upside down, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"The last will obey."

The four generals hurriedly received the order loudly, and all of them were happy.

However, when he got out of the meeting hall, Hu Zhen's gaze at Luo Zheng was a little intriguing.

This kid didn't tell himself earlier if he had a plan to deal with the Kwantung rebels, but he wasted his thoughts.

However, now is not the time to calculate, it is better to go out as much as possible.

Hu Zhen ordered 8,000 fine horses, out of the Tiger Prison Pass, all the way fast, through Luoyang, through the Han Valley, seven days later to Wuguan.

Hearing the news, Li Ying, the guard general of Wuguan, hurriedly led the crowd out and welcomed the army into Wuguan.

Li Ying is the younger brother of Dong Zhuo's confidant Li Dao, and he can be entrusted with the important task of guarding the military, and he is also quite useful.

Li Ying was surprised to learn that Hu Zhen was going to lead the army to conquer all parts of Guanzhong, but he did not dare to disobey Hu Zhen's request, prepared five days of dry food for 8,000 cavalry, and ordered soldiers to prepare meals and send them to the army.

In the evening, the Chinese army was in the big tent, and Hu Zhen summoned the officers above the military Sima level to discuss the military.

The purpose of this dispatch is very clear, that is, to turn all parts of the Kanto region upside down.

But it's not enough to have a goal, you also need to have a concrete plan of action, and you can't run around like a headless fly.

Hu Mao is the younger brother of the Hu Zhen clan, can be a colonel and captain, most of them rely on nepotism, and have never made meritorious service in the limelight, at this moment the meritorious service is earnest, and rushed to speak: "Brother, it is better for us to directly break Wancheng, and then wave the army north, cross Yingshui, pass through Yingchuan, and attack the flank of the Kwantung rebels, so that the Kwantung rebels will inevitably withdraw, and Luoyang can be worry-free." ”

The generals were silent, and none of them agreed.

Hu Zhen also frowned, feeling that something was wrong, so he asked the generals, "What do you think?" ”

Niu Jin said: "The last general thinks that he doesn't need to pay attention to the Kwantung rebels, just let him go and kill him with a bloody pestle." ”

Hu Zhen frowned even more, and said: "Right now, the Kwantung rebels are stationed in a tiger prison, and the Yizhou soldiers are approaching the valley again, and the lord must be under a lot of pressure, and he must do his best to force the rebels of the Guan army to retreat, how can they kill indiscriminately." ”

"This ......"

Niu Jin is a rough man, how can he know any strategy.

When he heard this, his face dried up and he couldn't answer.

Hu Zhen looked displeased, waved his hand, and said, "Then get here first, and discuss it tomorrow." ”

Luo Zheng hurriedly said: "General, if you send troops to Nanyang, you will go to Nanxiang Town, thinking that it is a way out." The soldiers are very fast, why don't our troops send troops as soon as possible, and attack Nanxiang with a thunderous momentum, thinking that the rear. ”

Hu Zhen's eyes moved, and he immediately said happily: "What Shengping said is very true, and General Ben also has this intention." ”

Luo Zheng slandered, if Lao Tzu didn't say it, it would be strange if you thought of it.

Hu Zhen immediately dismissed the generals and went to prepare.

On the fifth watch of the next day, 8,000 western horsemen quietly drove out of Wuguan and set foot on the boundary of Nanyang.

Nanxiang is located in the north of the south, the south of Danshui, is the military town in the north of Nanyang, is the only way to go out of the Central Plains from the front of Wuguan, the geographical location is very important, the Chu State has resisted the invasion of the Qin army here many times in the pre-Qin period.

However, at this moment, there were only 800 county soldiers in Nanxiang, and Yuan Shu did not send troops to garrison them.

In the final analysis, the princes of the Kwantung region did not expect that Dong Zhuo would send an elite cavalry out of Wuguan to fight into the Central Plains when he was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and how could Yuan Shu waste his troops to defend a useless Nanxiang.

The red sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun formed a magnificent fiery cloud on the horizon.

The gate of Nanxiang City was opened, and the people waiting to enter the city lined up in a long line, looking anxiously ahead.

As soon as the sun sets, the gates of the city will be closed.

If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city today, and I'll have to run for nothing.

The guards at the city gates were unhurried and received soft money.

"Want to go to town without money? I don't care about you. ”

Suddenly, the city gate guard kicked an old man to the ground and scolded with an unhappy face.

"Please, let me go into the city, please, Master Jun."

The old man crawled over, grabbed the corner of the trouser of the city gatekeeper and pleaded bitterly.

"Old immortal, get out of the way."

The city gate guard was furious, raised his leg and kicked the old man over again, and chased after him in anger and made up for it a few more times, "Such an old thing is not going to die, what are you doing if you are still alive." ”

The people in line were filled with indignation, but they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to say anything, let alone do anything.

The old man soon bleed, and he couldn't get up again.

Nanyang was originally the largest county in the Central Plains, but since the Guanghe period, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been occurring year after year, especially the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which has caused great disasters to Nanyang, the largest county in the Central Plains, and the people's lives have been difficult.

After Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, he intensified his efforts and extorted violently, and the people were already overwhelmed, and countless people died of starvation.

If nothing else, the city gate tax alone has increased by more than five times compared to before.

Many of the people had things they needed, but they couldn't get into the city at all.

At this moment, thunder suddenly sounded not far away, and the ground trembled slightly, as if it was about to earthquake.

"What's going on?"

The soldiers who were sitting on the city wall and bragging were startled and hurriedly got up to watch.

"Scared, it's a horse thief."

A soldier shouted, and immediately reacted, no, I haven't heard of horse thieves near Nanxiang.

Moreover, the number of horse thieves in this gang is too many, at least eight or seven thousand.

Not to mention the Central Plains, even if it is the northern border fortress, I'm afraid that there are not so many horse thieves, right?

"It's not good, it's the Xiliang cavalry."

The quick-witted soldier reacted and immediately blurted out a shout.

"Quick, close the gates."

The city exploded in an instant, and the chaos was indispensable.

The iron hooves flew and raised a cloud of dust.

Eight thousand Xiliang Iron Riders avoided the main road and suddenly appeared outside Nanxiang City, less than five hundred steps away from the city gate.

The city was running and howling, and it became a pot of porridge.

After the guards and people of the city gate under the city saw it clearly, they also blew up the pot in an instant.

"My mother, how did the Xiliang cavalry kill me."

The two city gate guards shouted Mom, and they reflexively ran and rushed into the city gate.

"The Xiliang soldiers are here."

"Run, get into town."

The people who lined up at the gate to enter the city were also chaotic, shouting, and swarming in.

At this time, not to mention that trespassing on the city gate will be a big crime of killing the head, even if there are knives in the sky, no one can take care of it.

In the impression of the people of the Central Plains, the Xiliang Army was a symbol of barbarism and killing.

If you have a choice, you would rather meet the king of Hades, and no one wants to meet the Xiliang soldiers who are more ferocious than the bandits.

"Close the city gate, close the gate for Lao Tzu."

At the head of the city, the little colonel at the city gate jumped to his feet and yelled, and his hair was about to stand on end.

However, the gates of the city were not closed.

Some soldiers slashed down a few people who were desperately rushing forward, and the hole in the city gate immediately exploded.
