Chapter 994: Overwhelming

Early the next morning, before the main force of the princes' coalition army had set off on its journey, the messenger of the victory rushed all the way into the big tent.

"Good news, Qi Yu Alliance Leader, good news ahead. The general led the army into the territory of Sili and was intercepted by Dong Thief's army. The general took the lead in himself, won more with less, defeated the Dong thief army, and beheaded the commander of the thief army. At present, the vanguard army has been in Ji County, and the general will break the city in a few days! ”

Everyone was stunned by this news, but after a few seconds, Yuan Shao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, the name of Wentai's brave martyrs is really worthy of its name, and the coalition army won the first battle, which is good luck!" Come on, remember the merits for General Sun, and prepare the wine and meat for the army to send to General Sun! ”

After speaking, he turned to look at the captain who was summoned, helped him up with his own hands, and said warmly: "Go back and tell your general the words of the leader of this alliance word for word, and tell him in addition, so that he can conquer Dong Thief with peace of mind." On the day when the Dong thief was killed, the leader of this alliance personally reported his merits to the court for Wentai! ”

Then Yuan Shao turned to look at everyone again: "General Wentai is brave, he has already won the first place, we can't be willing to be the queen, please pull out the camp as soon as possible and fight Dong Thief together!" ”

"Obey the orders of the Alliance Lord!"

"Hahaha, pass on the order of the main army of the alliance, the whole army will pull out the camp and set off!"

Sun Jianqi's victory not only made Yuan Shao overjoyed, but also boosted the morale of the coalition forces to a certain extent.

Before, everyone didn't know much about Dong Zhuojun's situation, and they didn't know what Dong Zhuojun's combat effectiveness was, so they didn't dare to rush into the army for fear of accidentally losing too many troops.

Now Sun Jian used reality to prove to everyone that Dong Jun's combat effectiveness was not high, and the princes were also relieved.

Of course, this does not include merchants!

Shang Ji learned the news of Sun Jian's victory in the first battle as early as yesterday, and the secret hidden Thousand Illusion personnel directly came to a voice live broadcast to report the battle situation of Sun Jian's department throughout the process.

Sun Jian naturally did not lie about his military exploits, he did defeat the army of nearly one million Dong Zhuo with 500,000 people, and personally killed the commander of the enemy army, an A-level historical general.

However, according to Qianhuan's investigation, these Dong Zhuo troops defeated by Sun Jian were all temporarily assembled by the surrounding counties, which means that these are all second-line troops, and in Pingzhou's words, they are garrison troops!

With Sun Jian personally in command, with more than a dozen historical generals, leading 500,000 elite special troops, if this configuration can't beat a million second-line garrison troops, then it's a hell!

But if you think that Dong Zhuojun's combat effectiveness is low because of this, it is a big mistake!

As early as the early days of Dong Zhuo's madness, that is, when he began to massacre the courtiers on a large scale, the thousand illusions lurking in the city of Luoyang were collectively lost, and at the same time, all the strangers were expelled from Luoyang.

Many people think that Dong Zhuo is perverse, and he is already panicked and turbulent, and he can be knocked down with a light push. But Shang Ji never thinks so, the collective loss of contact with Luoyang Qianhuan is the most intuitive evidence, in the face of the battle against Dong, Shang Ji has been extremely vigilant from beginning to end!

However, the battle situation in the next few days seemed to tell Shang Ji that he had guessed wrong, and Sun Jian's troops were invincible, and several good news were sent back every day.

In eight days, Sun Jian almost advanced frantically at the speed of conquering a city in two days (only large cities are counted here, and small and medium-sized cities that are automatically attached are not counted), including a giant city!

Hanoi County and Henan Yin are already the core ruling areas of the Han Dynasty, and the density and quality of the cities are far beyond the reach of Pingzhou.

In this palm-sized place, the area is less than half of Liaodong County, and there are forty-nine cities at the level of big cities and above, and nine of the forty-nine are cities at the level of giant cities!

Before the occupation of Chenzhou, there were only eight giant city-level cities under the rule of Shang Ji!

According to the battle report, Dong Zhuojun had no intention of fighting, and the wind fell.

The funniest thing is that Sun Jian sent a small number of scouts to the front city to investigate the military situation, but when they saw the scouts from afar, they couldn't wait to open the city and surrender, making the scouts think that the enemy army was making some tricks, and they didn't dare to enter the city. In the end, a group of defenders rushed out and forced them to enter the city to surrender, which can be described as a big joke in the world!

The princes looked at this sealed battle report, laughed loudly, and at the same time had other thoughts in their hearts.

According to the default unspoken rule, all the food, supplies, money, etc. in the treasury of the conquered city belong to the army that conquered the city.

In addition, although it is impossible for the coalition forces to loot openly, there are ways to squeeze out money by rewarding the army, providing salaries, condolences, disposing of rebellious officials, etc.!

This is the richest place in Dahan, and the abundance of oil and water is unimaginable. Seeing Sun Jian gaining fame and fortune in front of him, and eating with a mouth full of oil, it is strange that the princes don't have other thoughts!

A group of princes said that Wentai was tired from a long battle and was willing to take over Wentai as a pioneer.

Sun Jian was naturally unhappy, and sternly refused to be replaced.

Yuan Shao was so noisy that he had a headache, and finally waved his hand, and added four additional pioneers, appointing the four people who were the most noisy as the four pioneers on the left and right, namely Gongsun Zan on the left, Bao Xin, the former pioneer, Zhang Chao, and Yuan Yi, the pioneer.

As for Sun Jian, Yuan Shao simply appointed him as the Great Vanguard, nominally in charge of the Five-Way Vanguard Army, but in fact, no one would listen to his orders except for his own troops.

Immediately after the departure of the Four Pioneers, the strength of the main force of the coalition army plummeted to seven million.

However, it can be seen from the personnel who served as vanguard officers that the princes who really had strategic vision did not move, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others!

Although they also coveted the harvest of Sun Jian's department, they always kept a clear head and faced Dong Zhuo with a cautious attitude. Obviously, Shang Ji was not the only one who felt the abnormality.

Even the four pioneer officers may not have seen the clues, but the wealth is moving, and under the temptation of the bait, even if they know that it is a trap, they will jump into it without hesitation!

Not to mention that this doesn't have to be a trap! Once the adventure is successful, it is excellent vision and courage, and failure is to make the wise faint, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and Gongsun Chan is still laughing at Shang Ji and others for being cowardly like a mouse!

In any case, after the four-way vanguard divided its troops, the progress of the coalition army's strategy immediately improved a lot. Xiuwu, Yuanyang, Wude, Huaixian, Juan County, Jingxian ...... Cities are falling rapidly, good news is coming like rain, and the coalition forces are immersed in a jubilant atmosphere.

At the current rate, it won't take ten days to reach the Bishui Pass, then the Tiger Prison Pass, and finally Luoyang!

The situation is very good!
