"Looks like the enemy's main direction of attack is on my side......"
Li Wei had a confident smile on his face as he coped with the continuous offensive of the coalition forces. [~]
Although he has followed Dong Zhuo for decades, and has experienced hundreds of battles, it was not until he followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang that Li Dao felt the feeling of commanding the troops for the first time, after all, the previous battles were more under the overall command of Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao could only get the position of the captain of the special team at most, and subject to the number of troops in Dong Zhuo's hands, Li Dao naturally did not get much more, how could it be like now, at least in 10,000 as the unit of measurement.
Compared with Hu Zhen, Li Dao is much more courageous than the other party. No, it should be said that when it comes to the courage of the middle and senior generals of the Xiliang Army, Hu Zhen is definitely a popular candidate for deputy squad leader, although in some cases Hu Zhen is not lacking in courage and appearance, but in most cases Hu Zhen would rather perform some less dangerous tasks.
In fact, many people like to call Hu Zhen a "businessman" behind his back, thinking that he is so good at his own courage, unless the credit for the task is enough for his courage in his opinion, otherwise he can definitely think as far as he can be from danger, and because of his unique identity, even Dong Zhuo is helpless most of the time for his appearance.
However, what makes Li Dao feel ironic is that such a guy has become the vanguard officer in the decisive battle between Dong Zhuojun and the coalition forces, although he can't question Dong Zhuo's decision, but Li Dao is still not worth rushing to Zhao Cen, Li Zhuo and others in secret.
Of course, he also understood that if it weren't for such a glorious position as a vanguard officer, but if he gave his current position to Hu Zhen, no matter how brave Li Dao was, when he was fighting, he would have one and a half eyes staring at the wing where Hu Zhen was, and at the same time calculating in his heart when the other party would collapse so that he could evacuate.
Well, in fact, Guo Yan and Li Wei had privately told Yang Ding that it would be better to kill Hu Zhen on the battlefield - if Hu Zhen escaped from the battlefield and gave Yang Ding an excuse. [~]
Of course, this is not only because Hu Zhen lacks enough fighting spirit, but more importantly, Hu Zhen's popularity in the Xiliang Army is almost to the point of smelling Cheng Dù. If Yuan Shu's behavior of cutting off Sun Jian's food in the coalition army is despicable, then Hu Zhen has already done similar things over and over again in the Xiliang army - as long as it can help him grab the credit, improve his status, or prevent others from gaining merit and surpassing him, Hu Zhen will do similar things lightly or severely.
Yes, this is a disgusting guy, but as I said before, he, Yang Ding and Duan Xuan have a very special status in the Xiliang Army, even if they can be regarded as a small group of Dong Zhuo in the Xiliang Army, so even if Lao Dong sometimes hates it, but unless Hu Zhen goes too far, Lao Dong is powerless.
Has Hu Zhen ever touched Dong Zhuo's bottom line?
The answer is no.
From this, you can understand why such a hated Hu Zhen can still live until now.
Well, the reason why Li Dao can wander around here and think about these things that he has and doesn't have is entirely because Cao Cao, as his opponent, is really a little weak, so that Li Dao can even wander on the battlefield.
Yes, although Li Dao had less than 20,000 troops in his hands, at this moment, he firmly blocked the right flank of the coalition army, which nominally had more than 80,000 soldiers, which was more than four times Li Dao's strength, and the flank of the perfect guardian Dong Zhuojun was safe.
Although it sounds a little incredible, in the final analysis, it is just that although the troops in the hands of the experienced Li Dao are small, they are united, and the inexperienced Cao Cao has many troops in his hands, but his orders are different, and they have their own thoughts.
Although Cao Cao arranged his troops to the most cutting-edge place, and Tao Qian and Bao Xin were beside him, it stands to reason that they have a considerable impact on Li Dao's troops, but in addition to Cao Cao and Bao Xin, the two young people in the officialdom, Tao Qian, as the most important combat force, has no intention of fighting hard at all. []
As mentioned earlier, Tao Qian can be said to be one of the few local chiefs in the territory of the Han Dynasty who still maintain respect for the zhōngyāng regime, although he is more poisonous, but from the fact that he is willing to pay taxes to zhōngyāng, even if the tax is reduced, it can be regarded as rare in such a period. In fact, only three states besides him continued to pay various taxes to zhōngyāng for that year—Li Shushi's Merge Prefecture, Lu Zhi's Shuo Prefecture, and Liu Yu's Youzhou. Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's own territory, so there is no need to mention it, but with the economic situation of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo can't receive much, and like Shuozhou, Dong Zhuo only had twitches in the corners of his eyes when he looked at that little money and food.
Of course, the practices of Youzhou and Xuzhou are similar, although they pay taxes, they are also a shrunken version, but this is enough to make Dong Zhuo "moved". It can be said that if it weren't for Tao Qian leading the troops to participate in the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance, perhaps Tao Qian's current position as a assassin would have been upgraded to a freshly baked state pastor.
By the way, there is another person who also expressed his desire to pay taxes to zhōngyāng, and this person is Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou who was appointed by Dong Zhuo.
Of course, Jingzhou's taxes can't go into Dong Zhuo's pocket, the reason is naturally that Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang outside and blocks the road to Jingzhou's capital, and Sun Jian's remnants are still unstable, so Liu Biao is powerless.
As for whether it is true or not, only God knows, Liu Biao knows it in his heart.
How could Tao Qian, who was betting at both ends, now fight with Dong Zhuojun for the sake of the coalition army? Isn't this tantamount to the loss of all the previous achievements?
So don't look at Tao Qian's 30,000 people, both in terms of number and strength, they are the leaders of the right-wing troops, but when fighting against Li Wei's troops, they are basically grinding foreign workers - it seems that Tao Qian's army and Li Wei's troops who are fighting together actually have half of their attacks that will not be waved in the air, but they will be easily blocked by the other party, and they will be effortless at all.
What's even more interesting is that the two sides have a very tacit understanding for a while and then let the troops on the front line retreat and replace them with new people to continue the confrontation, Tao Qian's side of the natural people don't care about this rotation, but for Li Wei's department, the battle with Tao Qian's army is completely out of the meaning of the battle, but it has become a time to recover, and then the restored soldiers will be transferred to the forefront of dealing with Cao Cao's army and Bao Xin's army.
If Tao Qian's approach is disgraceful, but it is good that the survival of this army effectively protects Cao Cao's flanks, then the troops of Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and Kong Rong are completely dragging their feet.
Especially Qiao Mao's troops, Li Dao only used two charges to make Qiao Mao's troops almost on the verge of collapse, so that Bao Xin, who was next to Qiao Mao, had to devote some of his energy to protect the other party. Although Liu Dai and Kong Rong's troops were not as unbearable as Qiao Mao's army, they were only fifty steps and a hundred steps - Kong Rong finally let Li Rong go because of Tao Qian's relationship, and the intensity of the war ensured that Kong Rong did not experience a counterattack. Liu Dai's troops had already begun to show signs of rout after Li Dao sent troops to attack five times, and if it weren't for Li Dai's intention to use Liu Dai and Qiao Mao to contain Cao Cao and Bao Xin's energy, perhaps the troops of these two princes and even their main general's head would have been kicked by Li Dao as a ball in his hand.
Cao Cao now understood that it was not easy to command a large corps, and at the same time made him understand that in such a duel, the Su zhì of the soldiers and generals was obviously more important than the number of people, and at the same time, a force that could order and prohibit was obviously more useful to his own side than a group of disobedient troops.
"It's a pity, if Dong Gong can give me another 10,000 people, I will be able to eat these princes completely!"
Being able to say such things shows how contemptuous Li Wei is for his opponent.
Of course, Li Dao is just talking about it, even if Dong Zhuo really gives him another 10,000 horses, Li Dao will definitely not be able to win the opponent as he said, after all, for his own safety, Tao Qianjun must be strengthened at that time, Li Dao is only going to maintain a balance of power now, if Tao Qianjun's 30,000 people are serious......
Therefore, Li Dao is actually very satisfied with the current situation, as long as this situation continues until Dong Zhuo breaks through the coalition army, then he only needs to take the heads of a few princes, and his position in Dong Zhuo's army in the future will be self-evident.
It's just that Li Dao is in a happy mood, which means that Cao Cao's mood at this time is extremely bad.
It's just that Cao Cao really can't figure out how to solve the dilemma in front of him now-although there is actually only one prince who paddled the water, Tao Qian's troops account for nearly half of the weight of the entire right-wing corps, not to mention that most of the soldiers of the other princes are not as good as the soldiers in the Qingxu area, which has not been peaceful until now, not to mention that there are 3,000 Danyang soldiers in Tao Qian's army.
When Cao Cao took over the post of commander of the Right Wing Army from Yuan Shao, he obviously did not carefully consider the pros and cons, but was a little too eager to think about the birds who exposed themselves for food.
Cao Cao didn't send someone to Tao Qian to urge, but firstly, Tao Qian's qualifications are very old, and secondly, his troops are also very strong, Cao Cao has no bargaining chips that can make the other party tempted, and he doesn't even dare to force too much in tone.
The shape is stronger than people!
Cao Cao's resentment against Tao Qian in his heart at this moment is estimated to be able to break through the sky.
However, it was precisely because of this that a fierce light suddenly flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
Maybe only Li Shushi will be worried about this kind of gaze in Cao Cao's eyes now, because now only Li Shushi knows best that this black-skinned dwarf is a very approachable guy on weekdays, or a scribe or a joke and scolding, but when this guy is really ruthless, I am afraid that there are few people in the Three Kingdoms who can defeat him.
"Wall grass" Tao Qian is afraid that he will be unlucky.
