Chapter 240: The Pre-War Conference
In addition to beheading a few ministers in Luoyang City who were close to the Kwantung Alliance to give the coalition a dismount, he also actively dispatched troops and prepared to block the allies in front of the two checkpoints of Tiger Prison and Bishui, among which Lu Bu was directly sent by him to Tiger Prison Pass to preside over the defense of Tiger Prison Pass, and on the side of Bishui Pass, he also sent Hua Xiong, the general with the highest force in the Xiliang Army before Lu Bu joined.
At this time, some people on the Allied side also proposed to divide the troops into two routes, and attack Dong Zhuo in the two directions of Bishui and Tiger Prison at the same time, as long as there is a place that can break through, Dong Zhuo can be besieged in Luoyang and completely wiped out this **. Some people even directly suggested that Wen Minlai should lead an army alone to preside over the attack on Bishui Pass.
But such a proposal was again rejected by the Wenmin, and the Yuan brothers also objected. Wen Min refused because he knew that for Chinese who knew the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of the Tiger Prison did not know how many people were fascinated, and the legend of the Three Heroes vs. LΓΌ Bu did not know how many people were excited, and the Battle of the Tiger Prison Pass would definitely attract the vast majority of players in both camps.
And the Tiger Prison Pass is also a great opportunity for him to become famous in the world, and for these NPCs, reputation is a very important thing, didn't the three brothers of Liu Bei back then have someone to help them even if they were down? If he can stand out in this battle, won't his popularity soar directly?
In the end, Sun Jian took the initiative to ask Ying, willing to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters as a partial division to attack Bishui Pass, Yuan Shao not only agreed to his request, but also sent a few small princes to act with him and be controlled by him. So Sun Jian broke away from the large army with a group of soldiers and horses, and set off towards Bishui Pass, accompanied by players who chose to invest in the power of the Sun princes, after all, the Sun family is one of the last three forces in the world, and there are still many people who are optimistic about him, at least nearly 10 million players followed him to Bishui Pass.
Then the coalition forces continued to approach the Tiger Prison Pass, perhaps Dong Zhuo was determined to rely on Xiongguan to fight against the coalition forces, except for a few scouts who came to spy on the military along the way, Dong Zhuo's army was not found, so the coalition army reached the Tiger Prison Pass all the way unimpeded.
It took most of the coalition army more than half a day to set up camp alone, and the camps of hundreds of millions of troops brought by the princes from all walks of life stretched for hundreds of miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and in this case, the players were all arranged on the periphery, and they didn't even have the opportunity to take a look at the Tiger Prison Pass. The Yunze army brought by Wenmin was arranged in the southernmost part of the middle, about fifty miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, that is to say, if the Yunze army wanted to participate in the battle, it would take an hour just to rush to the battlefield.
After all settled down, it was already evening, and a soldier came to Wenmin to inform him that Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, invited all the princes to discuss tomorrow's war, and Wenmin immediately rushed to Yuan Shao's camp after getting the news, Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, his camp was in the center of the team, not too far from the camp of the Yunze army, and in less than ten minutes, Wenmin came to Yuan Shao's tent.
When almost all the people arrived, Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, said to everyone: "Now we have come to the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison Pass is the world's Xiongguan, and there is Dong Zhuo's old thief's number one minion Lu Bu to guard it, we will face a tough battle, everyone here must do their best to please the thief, and must not have any selfishness or slack fear, if you find it, don't blame me, the alliance leader, for ignoring the previous friendship." β
Although Yuan Shao's words made the princes present feel a little uncomfortable, after all, they are not Yuan Shao's subordinates, and Yuan Shao is now talking to them in a tone that treats his subordinates, of course these princes will have some pimples in their hearts, but they also know that although the princes from all walks of life seem to be powerful, they are actually not one heart, and when the battle starts, they don't know how many will really go all out to beg the thief, so they can also understand Yuan Shao's approach, and they all agreed in unison.
Then Yuan Shao said: "Although the Tiger Prison Pass is the world's Xiongguan, but the number of people who can attack it at the same time is limited, so I suggest that we divide it into several groups, each group takes turns to attack the city one day, when one group is attacking the city, the rest of the groups send people to supervise, all of you here are people who know the soldiers, who is lazy when attacking the city, everyone can see at a glance, what do you think of my idea?" β
Immediately, a prince stood up and patted his ass and said: "The leader of the alliance is wise, I believe that once this law comes out, I believe that no one dares to be lazy and slack off, under the leadership of the leader of the Yuan League, we will definitely be able to conquer the tiger prison, come to Luoyang, rescue the emperor, and complete the work of King Qin's escort!" β
Although this person's sycophants are too obvious, which makes others a little disliked, but everyone, including Wen Min Cao**, has to admit that Yuan Shao's method is really good, making full use of the advantages of their large number of people, so that they take turns to attack the city every day, and the soldiers can rest when they are free, while the enemy must always keep fighting, for a long time, even if the tiger prison is stronger than the iron stone, but the soldiers who defend the city are not iron, there are always times when they are tired, they can completely wait for work, defeated the enemy, so although the rest of the princes did not show such flattery, they also agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal.
Then Yuan Shao said: "Then let's do it, I have a rough grouping plan here, you can see what else needs to be adjusted: the first group, I will be personally responsible, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Zhi assisted; the second group, which was in charge of the later general Yuan Shu, assisted by Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou; The third group is in charge of Cao Mengde, Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao, and Jibei Minister Bao Xin assists; The fourth group of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian is in charge, assisted by Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao; The fifth group is in charge of Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang and Wuling Taishou Assistant, as for the others, they are evenly distributed in these five groups, how do you see my distribution? Is there anything else that needs to be adjusted? β
Even Wenmin had to admit that although Yuan Shao's negative in history had few good ideas, his distribution plan was still very reasonable, fully considering the strength of the princes and the relationship between each other, and trying to assign some princes with better relationships to a group, so no one present could find fault with his grouping plan, and once again unanimously agreed to Yuan Shao's plan.
Yuan Shao was also very happy to see that several of the plans he proposed had been approved by everyone one after another, but these things had been discussed with all the strategists under his command for a long time, and now they were really approved by everyone, and his prestige as the leader of the alliance had finally been successfully established.
Then the princes present gathered together according to the previous grouping to discuss the specific details, and at this time, someone suddenly asked loudly in the big tent: "Lord Yuan, all the people here have been distributed, but what about those outsiders?" Although their strength is still inferior to the troops under our command, they are much more numerous than us, and there are some advantages that we cannot match, so we should not underestimate them, how should we arrange them? β
Hearing this person's question, all the princes in the tent quieted down, in fact, this is also a problem they have been considering, now the gap between the players and them is not as big as in the Yellow Turban plot, and now the strength of the elite players has basically reached the level of seventh-level soldiers, which is not much worse than their troops, so these NPC princes also have to start paying attention to the strength of the players.
Yuan Shao didn't know how to answer this question for a while, and finally could only look at Wen Min and said: "I think it's better for us to ask Yun Zehou this question, as a member of the outsiders, he should have his opinion on this issue." β
Seeing that the eyes of the princes shifted to him, Wen Min knew that he could not avoid this problem, and he could not avoid it, so he stood up and said to everyone: "I know that all of you here have always been very wary of us outsiders, but I still want to tell you that if we want to win this battle and even drive Dong Zhuo away in the end, we must pay attention to the strength of outsiders. You must know that in addition to the hundreds of millions of outsiders on our side, Dong Zhuo's side also has a similar number, if we don't pay attention to it and don't make full use of this force, it will be difficult for us to achieve the final victory. In addition, although I am also one of the outsiders, I also have to remind you that many of the outsiders have no position on this battle, so you had better not tell them the confidential information of our army, otherwise it will definitely be known by Dong Zhuo's people. β
In fact, this last point does not need to be reminded by Wenmin, those princes also know how to do it, and they have always done it, which is also the reason why outsiders have not been able to gain the real trust of NPC princes, but they still agree very much with Wenmin's proposal to pay attention to the player's power, and they nodded yes one after another.
Wen Min continued: "If you want to ask me how to use their power, I think it's very simple, just let them deal with the outsiders on Dong Zhuo's side, as long as they can drag Dong Zhuo's outsiders and make Dong Zhuo isolated, Dong Zhuo alone will definitely not be our opponent!" β
"Okay, it is worthy of the first emperor and several elders who have praised each other, let's follow Yun Zehou's method and let those outsiders fight by themselves, we just need to deal with Dong Zhuo's thief's Xiliang army and Lu Bupifu's merging state army." After listening to Wenmin's words, Yuan Shao made a final conclusion. (To be continued.) )
