Chapter 417: Scolding before the battle
"Well, what do you mean by this? Don't focus on Liangzhou, what are you going to do if you let me personally lead my army here! Dong Zhuo shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry!" Li Ru said with a smile, "This is all to give Liu Yao an illusion, if the father-in-law comes in person, then Liu Yao will definitely think that the father-in-law wants to attack Liangzhou." And we can take advantage of this opportunity to divide the troops and let General Fan Chou lead an army of 100,000 to Bingzhou, turn General Li Dao, and attack Huguan with 300,000 troops. Li Ru said with a smile.
Dong Zhuo listened to the gleam in his eyes, and couldn't help nodding. It was easy for 300,000 soldiers and horses to attack an unwitting Huguan. When the time comes, after passing the pot pass, the rear will be a horse and a flat river.
But soon, he Dong Zhuo's essence faded, and he said with some hesitation, "I left 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, what if someone finds out?" ”
Dong Zhuo is the most afraid of death, if he removes 100,000 soldiers and horses at once, in case he is discovered by the enemy, and attacks him in turn, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose. Maybe if you are not careful, your little life will be gone, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Li Ru shook his head and said confidently, "Don't worry, father-in-law, since Ma Teng has put on such a posture, it is natural that he will defend to the end, they want to delay time, and we also have to delay time, isn't it a coincidence." As long as we don't tear down the tents, we use double the amount of cooking every day. As long as Na Ma Teng does not personally lead the troops into the camp, then he will definitely not be discovered. ”
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru's confident appearance. Although I was still a little scared, I still agreed. At this time, he could only rely on Li Ru.
"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and call Fan Chou." Dong Zhuo is good at this. Dare to do and gamble, immediately ordered.
"Hey, father-in-law, don't worry, it's not the time yet, if you act rashly, there will inevitably be some mistakes!" Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly stopped.
"So what should I do now?" Dong Zhuo shouted a little unpleasantly.
Li Ru smiled and said, "It's very simple. Let's go and have a good intimate contact with Namateng, show up, and make some big noise. In this way, General Fan Chou's actions can be better covered. ”
Dong Zhuo was a little dazed when he heard this, then nodded, and shouted impatiently, "Okay, let Guo Yan immediately order 50,000 soldiers and horses and go to call the battle." I personally pressed the formation. Let Fan Chou lead an army of 100,000 again. Secretly went to Huguan from Yongzhou to aid Li Dao. ”
"Father-in-law is wise." A gleam flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he patted his ass.
Jincheng Taishou Mansion, at this moment, the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng, and Pang Decheng Yu are among them, pointing at a map, obviously really arranged.
"Master Cheng, are we just blindly defending?" Ma Teng shouted a little unwillingly. For his belligerent Marten. It's really unpleasant to shrink like this.
Cheng Yu is also in his fifties this year, and he glanced at Ma Teng, who was a little anxious, with half-squinted eyes, and said, "General Ma." The lord has already given an order, we just need to drag Dong Zhuo's army all the way now, and we don't have to worry about the rest. ”
"But we still have 500,000 Xianbei soldiers and horses in the rear, and I ...... by Meng Qi alone. "Ahh Ma Teng also knew that Ma Chao went to borrow troops like the Qiang people, and there was really no problem with this borrowing of troops, but let him face so many Xianbei people, he Ma Teng was still a little uneasy, all fathers in the world were the same, especially Ma Teng has always regarded Ma Chao as the best heir, so naturally he couldn't see what happened to him. Therefore, he wanted to send troops even more in his heart, and did his best to solve this Dong Zhuo, and then he could help Ma Chao.
"Don't worry, the lord has already taken everything into account. And how much ability General Meng Qi has, isn't it clear to you, who is a father? Cheng Yu patted Ma Teng's shoulder and comforted.
"Report the ......" when a figure rushed straight in, hugged his fist at Ma Teng and said, "Father, outside the city, Dong Zhuo has gathered 50,000 troops and come to call for battle." ”
And this person is naturally his Ma Teng's second son Ma Tie. The Ma family is all heroes, although this Ma Tie is only seventeen years old this year, but his martial arts are definitely not weak, and he will not fall into the reputation of their Ma family.
"What, he, Dong Zhuo, came to call the battle. So what are you waiting for, Pound didn't hurry up and gather his troops and horses and go with me to fight. Ma Teng exclaimed in some surprise, and at the same time, there was three points of excitement in his tone.
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Yu hurriedly stopped Ma Teng.
Suddenly, Ma Teng's fiery heart cooled down a little, and he glanced at Cheng Yu with some confusion, and asked, "Master Cheng, what's wrong?" After all, he has been cooperating with Cheng Yu for several years, and Ma Teng knows how much he has the ability, so he naturally wants to ask for advice.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "This is unreasonable, this Dong Zhuo has just been camping for five days, and he hasn't had much rest, so he came to call the battle, it's a little strange." ”
"Master Cheng, even if it's strange, then you have to go out and have a look." Pound chimed in.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "General Pang, you go to the army quickly, Shoucheng, you follow me to the city wall to have a look." ”
Everyone nodded in unison and went their separate ways.
On the walls of the Golden City. Ma Teng and Cheng Yu stood side by side, while Dong Zhuo and Li Ru below stood at the forefront on horseback.
"Well, Ma Teng Xiao'er, I am the Xiangguo of the Han Dynasty, and I came to crusade against the traitor Liu Yao on the order of the Son of Heaven. You don't have to be obsessed, don't hurry up and surrender, I can still read that I am a fellow countryman, and spare your life. Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be the time when you die. As soon as Dong Zhuo saw the horse vacated, he immediately stepped forward and took the lead.
Cheng Yu hurriedly took a step forward when he heard this, he knew that Ma Teng's mouth was not good, and it was better to go out by himself.
"The one below is Dong Zhuo, the great traitor who plundered His Majesty today." Cheng Yu looked at the huge piece of meat below and said lightly.
Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's face turned red, and he glared at the old man on the city wall fiercely, it really shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. Wouldn't it mean that he admitted that he had robbed His Majesty? But if it shouldn't, wouldn't that mean that he, Dong Zhuo, was afraid of the old man. It's not embarrassing for a while.
"Who are you?" Li Ru patted his horse and came to Dong Zhuo's side and shouted at Cheng Yu on the city wall.
"I am Liangzhou, don't fight Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde is also. Presumably you are Li Ru, the son-in-law of the traitor Dong Zhuo. The two of you have scooped the court, plundered the saints, and now you are attacking Liangzhou privately, what should you be guilty of? Cheng Yu's eyes widened angrily and he scolded loudly. As for Li Ru, there is no one else who can keep up with Dong Zhuo except him.
"It turns out that he is Cheng Yu." Li Ru looked this unattractive old man up and down, and said, "What a sharp mouth." His Majesty was greeted by my lord to Yongzhou, so why not plunder. On the contrary, it was Liu Yao'er, who did not listen to the holy will, obviously premeditated, and wanted to plot a rebellion, what should he be guilty of. Li Ru also rebuked angrily.
"It's ridiculous, there is no jade seal on the holy decree at all, it is obviously a fake by you, fake the holy decree, pretend to be the holy will, what crime should you be guilty of." Cheng Yu fought back without hesitation.
This time it was supposed to be a scolding battle between Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng to a scolding war between Li Ru and Cheng Yu, this kind of thing that could have happened was produced under Dong Zhuo's absolute trust in Li Ru and Ma Teng's absolute trust in Cheng Yu, which is also interesting.
Li Ru sneered three times and shouted, "What a clever one, it's useless to talk more, since you refuse to surrender, let's see you on the battlefield!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Dong Zhuo, and retreated back towards the formation one after another. It's not that Li Ru doesn't want to continue scolding. It's that it really doesn't make any sense anymore. First, Dong Zhuo's holy decree really didn't have a jade seal, and he really couldn't refute it. Second, this pre-war scolding war was originally a dispensable thing, it was just to improve morale, and it was useless to continue talking, and in the end it was still necessary to divide the superiority on the battlefield.
After Dong Zhuo and Li Ru retreated, Guo Yan stood up and scolded at Ma Teng, "Ma Teng Xiaoer, I am Guo Yan under Dong Xiangguo, hurry up and fight me to the death." ”
Ma Teng was furious when he heard this, and looked at Guo Yan below with a bruise, he Ma Teng had been crisscrossing Xiliang for a long time, when had he been so insulted, and he immediately wanted to open the city gate to destroy this yellow-mouthed child.
Cheng Yu immediately stopped him Ma Teng. Of course, he Cheng Yu didn't want to avoid fighting. It's time to come, everyone is coming to the door, this is the first battle, if you don't fight, morale will definitely drop, and then it will not be good. But even if you want to fight, it is impossible to let Ma Teng go, how to say that he Ma Teng is also a stabbing history in Liangzhou, and he uses a knife to kill chickens.
Immediately, Cheng Yu waved his hand to the people around him, and let Pang De, who had already been ready, fight. Of course, there is a more critical point that Pang De's martial arts are still above Ma Teng, with his martial arts, the fundamentals of Guo Yan and his ilk are in the matter, and it is also very important to boost morale by fighting a beautiful first battle.
Soon, the gate of Jincheng was opened, and Pound, dressed in armor and holding a big sword, rode majestically towards Na Guo Yan. Behind them were 10,000 elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, equipped with the Three Treasures on horseback, and they were no worse than the Youzhou cavalry.
"Who's here?" Guo Yan looked at the general in front of him, frowned and asked loudly.
Pang De raised his head, stared at him, and shouted lightly, "Xiliang, Pang De Pang Lingming." ”
"Pound, I haven't heard of it." Guo Yan shouted disdainfully: "Who will take this person's head with me!" ”
In his Guo Yan's opinion, this Pang De is just a nameless young general, and he is not worthy of his own general at all. (To be continued......)
