Chapter 279: Minister's Meeting
Tang Xiu commanded the army, and after breaking down half of Zhang Liao's Mandarin Duck Formation, he launched an attack on the other half of the Mandarin Duck Formation.
Although Zhang Liao resisted stubbornly, he still ended in defeat.
Tang Xiu easily defeated Zhang Liao with the epoch-making Pingrong Wanquan Array.
And what he is proficient in is not only the Pingrong Wanquan Array, but the Pingrong Wanquan Formation is the most simple and convenient to use temporarily.
As the successor of "Wu Mu's Testament", he has reached the peak of the ancient battle array and tactics, and Tang Xiu can easily deal with the 1,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Zhang Liao.
And his move also completely suppressed Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba and other generals of the state, as well as the soldiers of the state.
It is worthy of being a peerless god who moves the world!
Next, Tang Xiu sat in the camp of the state army, instructed the generals under his command on the ability to lead the troops into battle, and taught some battle formations, art of war, etc., without hesitation.
The generals of Bingzhou also gradually returned to their hearts, except for a very few people, such as Lu Bu's brother-in-law Wei Xu.
For these individual people, Tang Xiu only paid a little attention, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, just one Wei Xu, how much storm can it set off?
this day.
Tang Xiu was summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion for deliberations.
Prime Minister's Mansion, Council Chamber.
After Tang Xiu arrived, all the generals in Dong Zhuo's army stood up to salute, and he is now the number one general under Dong Zhuo and even in the whole world.
It was Li Ru, the first confidant under Dong Zhuo, who also treated Tang Xiu with courtesy.
Only Lu Bu had a face, as if he hadn't seen Tang Xiu's arrival.
Although Lu Bu was transferred from the Bingzhou Army, and the army under his command was also replaced by the Xiliang Army, he still had hope for the old Merge State Army.
It's just that recently, with Tang Xiu's arrival in the Bingzhou Army camp, the generals of the Bingzhou Army have all turned their hearts to this newly appointed commander, except for Wei Xu, who is close to him, no one is loyal to him anymore.
It was Gao Shun, who led the trapped camp, who was loyal to him, and now he also showed his admiration for Tang Xiu.
Lu Bu also felt that he was beyond the reach of the whip, there was no way, who let him have been transferred out of the state army?
Dong Zhuo was in the main position, he saw everything in the council hall in his eyes, and he was very satisfied in his heart, Lu Bu and Tang Xiu were not in harmony, and checking and balancing each other was the situation he was willing to see.
Tang Xiu sat in the first position on the right-hand side, and was already the number one general in Dong Zhuo's system.
In Dong Zhuo's system, military generals also account for the vast majority, and on the side of civil officials and strategists, those who can handle it are his son-in-law Li Ru, and the other Li Su and so on.
Li Ru sat in the first position on the left-hand side, obviously with a very high status.
As for Li Su, it was because he was still a fellow villager with Lu Bu, and he was able to win over Lu Bu and kill Ding Yuangong, so he also sat in the front position.
The rest of the civil servants and strategists are not worth mentioning.
And another important strategist of Dong Zhuo's system, one of the top strategists in the late Han Dynasty who is as famous as Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong, is assisting Niu Fu in Chang'an.
Niu Fu is also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and sits in Chang'an with Jia Xu to ensure the stability of Dong Zhuo's lair, which is also Dong Zhuo's retreat.
Before the princes' alliance crusade and defeated Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, but the 500,000 princes' alliance army was defeated by Tang Xiu in an instant, which made Dong Zhuo cancel this plan, and also canceled the plan to burn Luoyang and keep Luoyang City.
It was precisely because of Tang Xiu's appearance that Dong Zhuo's army defeated the alliance of the princes, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo was also ambitious!
Dong Zhuo convened the military council this time in order to deal with the alliance of princes and then dominate the world!
Although the alliance of princes has been defeated and retreated, the various princes have already existed, returned to their respective territories, and are accumulating strength.
Presumably, after the princes from all walks of life have finished their preparations, they will make a comeback, and even more sufficiently prepared, and then they will become Dong Zhuo's henchmen!
Even Dong Zhuo already has the idea of dominating the world at this moment, and he has to remove the princes in order to complete the "great cause!" ”
Among the princes from all walks of life, Dong Zhuo was the first to deal with the thirteenth town princes at that time, the famous town of Qianghu, the sound of Yixia, and the Xiliang Taishou Ma Tengzi Shoucheng.
Xiliang is Dong Zhuo's lair, how can a "rebel" like Ma Teng be allowed to exist?
Previously, it coincided with the army of 500,000 princes to attack Dong Zhuo, and Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others raised troops to make a rebellion.
Dong Zhuo is ready to wipe out Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and other forces in one fell swoop to ensure the stability of Xiliang's lair, and then gradually deal with the princes from all walks of life.
"Father-in-law, vow to be a pioneer!"
Lu Bu was the first to get up and took the initiative to ask for help.
At this time, Lu Bu no longer had the momentum of the number one general in Dong Zhuo's army in the past, because he had Tang Xiu, the world-famous peerless god general, firmly pressed on his head.
Lu Bu took the initiative to ask for his life, and he was also the same, he wanted to make contributions and gradually regain the status of the first general in the army!
Dong Zhuo also intended to see Lu Bu and Tang Xiu compete and balance each other, and was very satisfied with Lu Bu's attitude, so he was ready to let Lu Bu lead the troops into battle.
But he still had to respect Tang Xiu, the number one general, and asked with a smile, "What does General Tang think?" ”
"I wish General Lu a victory!" Tang Xiu smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, directly indicating his attitude.
Lu Bu led his troops to conquer Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others, and left Luoyang City, which was just right for his plan to kill Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty!
Seeing that Tang Xiu didn't rush to fight with him, Lu Bu raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised.
Dong Zhuo was also a little surprised, but he still nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, I will order my son to lead an army of 50,000 to the battle!" ”
"Whoa!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed to accept the order.
Next, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, who is also the first confidant Li Ru, offered some more strategies.
These strategies are nothing more than letting Dong Zhuogao build a wall, accumulate grain, and slow down his reign.
Building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king were originally from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to solicit the opinions of the scholar Zhu Sheng on his strategic policy of pacifying the world.
also helped Zhu Yuanzhang achieve great things.
Although Li Ru did not directly put forward the famous nine-character mantra of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king", in Tang Xiu's view, Li Ru's plan is similar to this nine-character mantra.
The first is to build a high wall, which is to let Dong Zhuo establish a strong and consolidated base area, and send Lu Bu to conquer Ma Teng and others to stabilize the nest, and he is already making this first step plan.
The second is to accumulate grain, that is, strategic reserves, which will be used to sweep away all the princes in the future.
The third is to slow down the king, that is, to let Dong Zhuo keep a low profile, it is best to reorganize his reputation, recruit talents, and get more support from the family.
Tang Xiu nodded again and again when he heard this, Li Ru was worthy of being a talent who assisted Dong Zhuo to the step of stealing the Dragon Court, which was extraordinary.
