Wei Xuan did not let Dong Zhuo wait for a long time, and at the end of September, Wei Xuan, who had been reorganized and reorganized, once again led an army of 50,000 to set off towards Yique Pass. That's right, it's going straight to Yique Pass, not Yanshi, and it seems that Yanshi stationed in Delubu and Fan Chou doesn't take it seriously at all.

Dong Zhuo is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, so he naturally knows that the so-called 50,000 is estimated to be a little more than 30,000 including the transfer of people. Wei Xuan: This is a bully to others, so he dares to go straight to Yique Pass.

Wei Xuan did arrange it this way, and the number of the reorganized army did not decrease, only Wei Yun's rear army was reduced. Wei Yan's 6,000 people were the forward, and Du Peng, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry School, followed 1,500 cavalry on the two wings of Wei Yan, and when he camped, he also lived in a battalion, Zuo Zhonglang led Xu Rong to lead all the surrendered Xiliang soldiers and Wei Zheng's battalion, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong's battalion, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun were in the Chinese army at the same time, so that the front and rear four battalions were distributed with some cavalry, which also effectively prevented the cavalry from being sent out by Yique Pass or Yanshi on the way to prevent the cavalry from being raided.

Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu also did not send cavalry out, presumably because there were too many cavalry losses in the previous two battles, and Niu Fu and Lu Bu were lost in the western region??????????????? Lessons of defeat.

When the four camps were arranged in front of Yique Pass, Dong Zhuo also felt a tingling scalp. Because in addition to the enemy in person, Xu Huang and Yang Feng really attacked Mengjin, where Li Dao was only 3,000 people stationed, and after a long time, he would definitely not be able to stop the combined forces of Xu Huang and Yang Feng. Cao Cao and Zhang Yang of Hanoi also came to the front of the Tiger Prison Pass when they crossed the river to the south, and at the same time, Hu Zhen also reported three times a day in Taigu that Sun Jian seemed to be going crazy and was storming Taigu Pass.

Dong Zhuo finally couldn't sit still, and he decided to fight Wei Xuan in front of Yique Pass. As long as there is victory here, Sun Jian will naturally retreat, and Xu Huang and Yang Feng's attack will be meaningless.

In the early winter morning of a sunny day, as soon as Wei Yan finished washing, his own soldiers hurriedly came to report that the enemy was preparing to attack. Wei Yan hurriedly threw away the things in his hand and hurriedly climbed the watchtower.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's army in the northwest direction had already left Yique Pass, which was only two or three miles away from his own camp, and Dong Zhuo also chose to take the initiative to attack the same day that Niu Fu attacked the camp, and the front team was as many as 5,000 people, and the cavalry on both wings was nearly 4,000 people! That is to say, there are less than 4,000 people left in the entire Yique Pass, and Dong Zhuo is just preparing to kill Wei Yan's camp first, but there are Niu Fu in Yique Pass, and Dong Zhuo also knows about the small oil catapults in Wei Yan's camp. So what is Dong Zhuo going to do?

Wei Yan couldn't figure it out, so he could only wait for it on the one hand, and report to Wei Xuan on the other hand. On the watchtower of the Chinese army's camp, Wei Xuan has also taken several military divisions to look into the distance, although the situation of the enemy army in Yique Pass cannot be seen here, but he can clearly look at the surrounding several camps, the hectic situation of Wei Yanqian's camp and the right wing Zhang Liao and Huang Zhongbu have also come out of the camp tent and began to line up, obviously the Yanshi also has the enemy out.

Soon the captains and scouts of the battalions came to report that Dong Zhuo rode out of Yique Pass with 9,000 steps to attack Wei Yan, and Lu Bu rode out of Yanshi with 7,000 steps to attack Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong!

Wei Xuan digested the information from all sides a little, and then asked Jia Xu with a smile: "Sir, is Dong Zhuo confident or is he forced to fight a decisive battle with our army?" ”

Jia Xu said without thinking: "You have both, Xiangguo has always believed in himself, although Niu Fu and Lu Bu were defeated, but after all, Xiangguo did not see it in person." In addition, Sun Jian attacked Taigu, Xu Huang and Yang Feng attacked Mengjin, and Xiangguo could not continue the stalemate. ”

Wei Xuan nodded: "What does that gentleman think this duel is?" ”

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and his heart said that if you lose, the old man's job will also be smashed, and Dong Zhuo will not use the old man again. Seeing Wei Xuan like that, he didn't worry about winning or losing at all, in fact, during this time, he also saw the training intensity of Wei Xuan's army and the sharpness of weapons. To be honest, if Wei Xuan is given another half a year, Dong Zhuo has a ninety percent chance of winning, but if it is a decisive battle now, there are still many possibilities. After all, the bravery of the Xiliang soldiers was not trained in a day or two.

Wei Xuan didn't force Jia Xu, in fact, since it was a decisive battle, it mainly depended on the soldiers, and the plan of Wei Xuan and the three military advisors was already doomed.

With the passage of time, the sound of drums and horns on the battlefield ahead has become clearly audible. A scout rushed to the bottom of the watchtower, "My lord, Dong Zhuo's generals Niu Fu and Guo Yan each led 2,000 cavalry, and Dong Zhuo and Qin Shuai infantry 5,000 attacked the camp of Wei Xiaowei." ”

"General Yu, under the command of Lu Bu, Wei Xu, Gao Shun, and Cao Xing each led a thousand infantry to reinforce Dong Zhuo"

“??????????????? General Yu, Hou Chengshu led the infantry and cavalry of 2,000 to line up three miles north of Captain Zhang's camp. ”

"General Lu Bu personally led 3,000 cavalry into the connection department between Captain Wei and Captain Zhang."

Xi Zhicai was slightly moved when he heard this: "Lord, in this way, Wei Yan will face not nine thousand, but ten thousand, and our army can only be reinforced from the south." ”

Wei Xuan looked at Jia Xu and saw that the old fox was smiling, so he asked, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Jia Xu stroked the beard on his chin and said slowly: "Xiangguo Battlefield General, this time he must be ready to eat Captain Wei's department first, so the south will not set up obstacles." However, there are less than 4,000 people left in Yique Pass, and once they can't attack for a long time, they will continue to reinforce the front. Then what will appear in the south may be the reinforcements sent by Lu Bubu or even Hu Zhen from Taigu. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Wei Xuan's mouth twitched, although Taigu had Sun Jian attacking outside, Hu Zhen left 5,000 people to garrison for a while and a half, Sun Jian might not be able to take it, and it was also possible to send another 2,000 cavalry to reinforce Dong Zhuo.

After pondering for a while, Wei Xuan turned around again and asked, "Three, Dong Zhuo has already made a move, how should we deal with it?" ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Guo Jia fell into deep thought at the same time, and when everyone discussed how to attack, they used to analyze the experience of the first two battles. There are two mainstream views, one is that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu stick to the two places respectively, and send troops to reinforce Wei Xuan regardless of which place Wei Xuan attacks. Another is that Dong Zhuo sent all the cavalry out to fight with Wei Xuan in the field, first killing Wei Xuan's cavalry and then slowly consuming with Wei Xuan.

As a result, Dong Zhuo chose the third option, although Dong Zhuo was inferior to Wei Xuan in terms of troops, but Dong Zhuo could suppress the enemy with all his strength on the local battlefield. This is the essence of the art of war advocated by Wei Xuan, fighting more and fighting less, relying on the strong to bully the weak.

After a while, Xi Zhicai took the lead in speaking: "Judging from Dong Zhuo's formation, the target must be Wen Chang's camp, and Lu Bu's arrangement is to restrict Han Sheng and Wen Yuan. Counting the possible reinforcements from Taigu, it is only a partial restriction of the Wenrong Department. No matter which side the Chinese army goes out from, it will be blocked, as long as Dong Zhuo is fast enough, it is possible to take the Wenchang camp. And the large and small catapults of our army are all in the Wenchang camp, which shows that Dong Zhuo's infiltration of our army is also effective.

But if Wen Chang can hold on, or if our army directly abandons Wen Chang's department and concentrates superior forces to annihilate Lu Bu's troops out of the city, it is really extremely ignorant for Lu Bu to lead the state troops out of the city but leave Fan Chou to guard the Yan Division. A total of 7,000 people were divided into four divisions, except for the 3,000 cavalry of Lu Bu's headquarters, which was a little troublesome, the other three of our army could quickly defeat them. ”

Wei Xuan nodded, Lu Bu divided the seven thousand soldiers out of the city into four parts, of which two thousand foot cavalry mixed looking at the north gate of Huang Zhong, and the other thousand infantry were ready to reinforce Niu Fu and Guo Yan's cavalry, it seems that the combination of infantry and cavalry can achieve good results in both attack and defense.

But if it was intercepted by Wei Xuan's army during the movement, a thousand infantry would not be able to support it for long. However, with Jia Xu here, Wei Xuan did not draw conclusions easily, but looked at him and asked modestly, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Jia Xu habitually touched his beard, shook his head and looked at Wei Xuan and said, "Lord, Xiangguo has completed the formation, and our army wants to rush to attack Captain Wei's camp in Xiangguo??????????????? It was a bit difficult to annihilate Lu Bu's department before the base. In case Lu Bu had also been prepared, not to fight a decisive battle with our army, but to move in the field and drag our army forward away from Captain Wei's camp, it would be even more troublesome. Therefore, I thought that our army could do the opposite, abandon the four divisions of the Lu Bu army, and concentrate on attacking the team of Xiangguo out of the city, so that the Lu Bu army would definitely be dragged by our army to come to the rescue. In this way, the entire battlefield has changed from the core of Captain Wei's camp to the infantry of Xiangguo's headquarters. Then Captain Wei's camp can become an offensive fortress. ”

Wei Xuan's eyes lit up, and he was about to make a decision, but Guo Jia said worriedly on the side: "In this way, our army's casualties will be very large, and if you attack Dong Zhuo's headquarters, the remaining defenders in Yique Pass will also go out of the pass to attack our army's offensive department when the situation is critical." At that time, the entire battlefield will be completely in chaos, and I am afraid that the command of the Chinese army will not be effective. ”

Wei Xuan nodded and then asked tentatively: "That is to say, once it is decided to attack Dong Zhuo's headquarters, the victory or defeat will be handed over to the soldiers, and it depends on the level of the generals who lead the troops." ”

】

Guo Jia nodded: "Almost, when the time comes, the armies of the two sides will be staggered, and basically they can only rely on the judgment and combat strength of the soldiers of each department." ”

Wei Xuan turned to Xi Zhicai again and asked, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Xi Zhicai frowned, and said after a while: "Lord, Mr. Jia is indeed clever in attacking and saving, so who to send has to think about it." At the same time, the 3,000 cavalry of Lu Bu's headquarters also needed people to contain them. Otherwise, it would be a big trouble for 3,000 cavalry to gallop through the camp. ”

"With Du Peng's troops out of the camp to contain Guo Yan's troops, and with Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's three divisions of 2,000 cavalry, it is completely possible to contain Lu Bu's headquarters. Then use Zhang Liao's cavalry to intercept the Cao He and Gao Shun troops sent by Lü Bu. Then Huang Zhong led 3,000 elites out, bypassing the camp of Captain Wei and rushing straight to the left side of Xiangguo.

Thinking that Taishi Cibu attacked Niu Fu, Xu Rongbu contained reinforcements that might come from Taigu, and led 3,000 elites with Wei Zheng to attack the right flank of Xiangguo.

Then Liu Bei, Zhou Cang, and Cai Meng went out of the Chinese army to attack the headquarters of Xiangguo. ”

Facing the inquiring eyes of Wei Xuan, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia, Jia Xu talked eloquently.
