Chapter 38: The Powerful Dong Zhuo
The army set off, yes, the next day the army had already completed its rearmament and began to plan north. It's just that there are four more newcomers in the team, including two generals and two scribes.
From the perspective of position, one of the two generals served as the commander of the pro-guard battalion, and the command of 500 pro-guards was also envious of others. But compared to the other one who became the commander of the Liberation Army, the salary seems to be lower; As for the two scribes, I heard that one of them worked under Xi Zhicai and served as a deputy military division. The other person is a deputy under Yu Xing, and he is also considered a high authority.
But what really deserves attention is Du Xian, from the lowest scribe to Xie Yuan's deputy, even if Yu Xing is not qualified to hold this position, it can be seen how much Fang Yun values him. And this also illustrates a problem, that is, this guy has obviously sworn allegiance to Fang Yun, and he can be regarded as a real 'own person'.
When he arrived in Yecheng this time, Fang Yun didn't hold any grievance meetings, because the people here had enough food and clothing for many years, there was nothing to talk about whether they were bitter or not. And there are more rich people and families living in the city, and the main target of the complaint is them, and it's not bad if they don't directly take the guy over to fight, and they can still be expected to 'get lost'?
The target of the next stop was Liangqi County at the back of Yecheng, which was already very close to the front line and could encounter the Han army at any time. At the same time, their whereabouts have obviously been exposed, so the possibility of encountering the Han army along the way is also very high.
Because of this, Fang Yun did not march forcibly or urgently, but only advanced at a standard pace, the most important thing was to ensure the supply of three meals a day, and from time to time he sent people out to hunt. Replenish the army with meat. In his spare time, he sent people to dig wild vegetables. Make sure these guys have a vitamin boost.
The speed of the march of the troops was naturally implicated. Only about forty miles a day can be added.
"Thirty miles ahead is Liangqi County, but you have to pass through a valley or cross a river to get there." The scout came to report, which was the result of many investigations.
"Report, I found a Han army, which seems to be also advancing towards Liangqi County, fifty miles northwest of our army. You might pass through the valley in about two hours! Not long after, another detective came to report in a hurry.
"How many people are there, and who is the leader?" Fang Yun immediately asked.
"Judging from the time, it should be the person who guards Dong Zhuo too much in Hedong! This guy and the ten permanent servants are eyebrows, wasn't Lu Zhi taken down and taken away not long ago? This guy took the path of the Ten Permanent Servants and got the Holy Decree to take over Lu Zhi's troops. To put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of the situation to come and pick up the bargain! The shadow appeared beside Fang Yun and returned respectfully.
There was no way not to be disrespectful, the two deputies he recommended to Fang Yun not long ago came out with that kind of moth. As a result, he had no choice but to execute the two of them, but it was precisely because of this that he was in front of Fang Yun. It's kind of like I can't raise my head.
"Oh, it turned out to be Dong Feifei!" Fang Yun was stunned.
"Dong Zhuo is over forty years old, and it is inevitable that he will be a little lucky when he has had more entertainment in recent years, but Dong Feifei's title, I don't know where you heard about Qu Shuai?" The shadow was puzzled.
"It's okay, it's just hearsay......" Fang Yun vaguely perfunctory, secretly saying what he was talking about.
"By the way, since you know that it is Dong Zhuo's troops, do you know how many men and horses are under his command?" Fang Yun immediately asked.
"Report to Qu Shuai, Dong Zhuo's command has 5,000 horsemen and 10,000 infantry at the moment, and there are many Qiang people among the cavalry, and the riding skills are far from being comparable to the ordinary Han soldiers, and the cavalry is even more unique!" The shadow returns.
"By the way, when you reported just now, you directly saw the other party's army...... What about the other party's scouts? Xi Zhicai suddenly realized something and asked the detective.
"I didn't see the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry......" The reconnaissance cavalry also smiled bitterly, and the enemy army did not know what medicine they had taken wrongly, and they did not set up reconnaissance cavalry at all, otherwise they would not have been able to find out the specific location and direction of the opponent's troops so easily.
"I think Dong Zhuo didn't hear that we were here, so they just marched to Guangzong and took over Lu Zhi's troops on the front line as usual. I have to say, this gave us a chance! By the way, how fast is the other side marching? Xi Zhicai thought about it, first said his conjecture, and then asked again for verification.
"Soon!" Scout Rider was accurate in giving a reply.
"That's right, the other party didn't realize that they would meet us here, and according to the direction they were traveling, it was obvious that they would pass through the canyon, why don't we rush to the canyon and give them a head-on attack?" Xi Zhicai immediately admonished.
"Okay, just do it!" Fang Yun thought about it and immediately made a decision.
The army marched quickly, considering that there was no second group of enemies around, and quickly came to the high ground on both sides of the canyon, and quickly ambushed, just waiting for Dong Feifei to jump into the bowl by himself!
As for the other side, Dong Zhuo really didn't send detectives to explore the way, just because he had already obtained information, and there was not even a Yellow Turban Army in the surrounding area. But more often than not, they were marching in a hurry, and even if they sent out scouts, the information they could get was very limited, and it was impossible to say that there would be some bias in the report because of this.
At the same time, he is also very confident in his own army, after all, this is a veteran who has been fighting in Liangzhou for a long time, and each of them is an elite of a hundred battles. Even if you encounter the Yellow Turban Army, as long as there are no more than 100,000 people, it will not be your opponent at all.
At this moment, he is still a high-spirited general, and he has only a few core henchmen under his command, and he has not deliberately collected talents. Li Ru has not yet become his son-in-law, and Hua Xiong has not yet been collected by him, at this moment he can take out two generals, that is, Fan Chou and Xu Rong, the former claims to be the descendant of Fan Xu and is quite powerful, and the latter is the commander of the army.
"Lord, are we too fast? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the sons and daughters below won't be able to stand it! While marching, Xu Rong stepped forward and suggested.
"Hmph, if you don't hurry up, God knows if Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will attack the Yellow Turban Thief first? When the time comes, Lao Tzu spent a lot of money to get the opportunity to attack, isn't it a waste? Go, getting to the front line quickly is the most important thing, those guys below, if they have that physical strength to complain, it is better to run quickly for Lao Tzu! Dong Zhuo didn't think so, at this moment he hadn't thought about being sympathetic to his subordinates, or he had never thought about it.
Xiliang man, since he was a child, has known that the strong are respected, and everything is spoken through his fists. In the Xiliang region, if you are weak, you can only be eaten, either a foreign race, or a family in Xiliang, there is no other possibility. It is precisely this environment that makes Dong Zhuo look down on those weak people the most!
"Lord, judging from the map, as long as you pass this valley, it will be Liangqi County!" Fan Chou stepped forward and said.
"The whole army is speeding up, tonight is the beam period, and the wine and meat are enough!" Dong Zhuo shouted.
"Thank you, my lord!" The soldiers below were indeed not of the wrong breed, and they shouted and immediately increased their speed. It's just that they didn't know that they were actually like this, directly towards Fang Yun's ambush circle, and drilled headlong into it. (To be continued......)
PS: Dong Zhuo's first appearance, but it was the rhythm of death from the beginning...... In fact, according to the Romance (TV series), he was also ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army, and was finally rescued by Liu Bei and the others. It's just that now that Liu Bei has been driven away, naturally no one will save him......
The second update is ...... Sleepy, sleeping...... I never thought that in order to simplify and avoid verbosity, I actually wrote it until half past six......
The third watch will resume tomorrow, so stay tuned! Just subscribe and that's it!
