Outside the city of Dawan Guishan in the Western Regions, the Western Regions protect the big camp.

Dong Zhuozhi proudly returned with the Flying Bear Army and the Qiang people, and of course their trophies this time.

In addition to the nearly 2,000 war horses captured, there are also the armor of the commander of Wusun and the flags of the Guishan army and the Wusun army, and he has ordered people to stand under the city of Guishan to deter the Dawan people.

As for the other chiefs and captives, Dong Zhuo handed them over to Li Dao to bring back, and was ready to send them back to Luoyang to report their merits to the imperial court, which was also Li Ru's suggestion.

After all, Dong Zhuo relied on the eunuch party to come to power before, and recently I heard that most of the ten permanent servants were found to have exterminated the clan with various criminal evidence in this party dispute.

Dong Zhuo, the new protector, must make some achievements at this time, so that the court thinks that he still has some ability, unlike other people who buy officials......

Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a risk of being implicated!

Even if he is not implicated, if there is a reason to transfer Dong Zhuo to another position, won't all the previous efforts be in vain?

Fortunately, this time it can be regarded as a big victory, so I can more or less withstand it......

Li Ru's second suggestion is to take advantage of the victory to completely destroy Dawan!

In this way, it is a great achievement in hand, and I am no longer afraid of those imperial impeachments.

"Lord, this must not be done!"

After Dong Zhuo entered the account, he told Liu Ai about Li Ru's suggestion, and Liu Ai immediately persuaded after hearing it.

He cited a number of reasons for this:

First of all, now that the Dawan Kingdom has been destroyed, the Protectorate under Dong Zhuo's command does not have a sufficient number of officials to manage it, which is easy to make this place a chaotic place, which seriously affects the production of Dawan horses, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Secondly, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Guishan City, although it is not possible to fight in the field, but if you hold the city with the cooperation of the people, you don't know how many soldiers it will cost to take this place.

What's more, if it is urgent, it is still possible for Guishan and Wusun to send reinforcements again......

Third, even if Dawan is destroyed, it is still possible for the imperial court to promote Dong Zhuo and then transfer him away as well.

It's better to just force Dawan to surrender, and in the future, you can use them as a self-respecting existence for military merits or thieves.

In the end, Dawan was destroyed, and Dong Zhuo's existing military strength was unable to garrison it, and it was very close to the Silk Country, so it was very likely that he would end up cheapening his allies......

Whether it is the forcible annexation of Dawan, or the people at the bottom being attracted by the welfare policies of the Tongsi Country, it is extremely unfavorable to the Metropolitan Protectorate.

"Lord, the combat power of the Silk Army must not be underestimated, the day before yesterday, the Dawan army went out of the city to test our reality, and Ai ordered it to abandon its horse to fight, as a result, the Dawan army was killed and fled into the city, and nearly 2,000 people were killed, and the Silk Army only suffered more than 300 casualties......"

After Liu Ai explained, he reported the results of the Silk Army two days ago to Dong Zhuo.

"With such a strong combat power, close to Dawan, we can't wait for it!"

"Hmm...... What the sacrificial wine said is reasonable, and I should send someone to reject the policy of literary worries. ”

Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, then was persuaded by Liu Ai, and then said.

"My lord, you don't have to directly reject Wen Wei, just say that the Silk Army may have different intentions."

Liu Ai shook his head and persuaded again.

The strategy of destroying Dawan is not only extremely difficult, but also adds hidden dangers, and he doesn't believe that Li Ru can't see it.

But Li Changshi still proposed such a strategy to the lord, Liu Ai thought that it was for himself, Li Ru only mentioned the goal, if Dong Zhuo followed the suggestion, he would let himself formulate a specific strategy.

In the end, he succeeded and Li Ru contributed the most, and if he failed, he could naturally blame the reason for his improper advice......

It seems that he has been showing his face too much in front of the lord recently, and it is estimated that the people left by Li Ru have reported the lord's appreciation to him, making him jealous of himself.

Liu Ai was recommended by Li Ru, and he still knows a little about Li Ru's narrow-mindedness......

He just regarded himself as a subordinate who was placed on the side of the lord, and now that he had a tendency to be out of control, Li Ru naturally wanted to design precautions.

"You don't have to, Wen Wei is my own family, and there will never be a gap because of this."

Dong Zhuo listened but didn't care, and said with a smile.

"My lord, this matter is not so simple......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Southwest of Guyan County, Danyang County, Yangzhou.

Sun Jianjun's army had recently reversed its previous decline and gradually advanced westward, slowly approaching the garrison of Zhang Jie, the leader of the Yue people.

Since the assistance of the Wu family and the Xu family, Sun Jianjun has won two small victories, forcing the Yue people to have no choice but to hide back in the cottage and hold on.

Sun Jian led people to challenge outside the gate of the village for days, but the Yue people just couldn't defend it.

For this reason, Sun Jian was not in a hurry, he led his soldiers to camp in the upper reaches of the only water source nearby, and ordered the soldiers to keep digging the river embankment to divert it.

A few days later, the Yue people downstream had no water source, so naturally they couldn't sit still, and the leader Zhang Jie directly went out to grab water......

As everyone knows, Sun Jian and others have been prepared for a long time, and as soon as the Yue people arrived, they ambushed the soldiers in all directions, and surrounded Zhang Jie and other Yue people as rabbits......

"Leader Zhang, why bother to hold on, lose the lives of the clansmen in vain, wouldn't it be happy to follow my Sun Wentai to fight in the Quartet in the future!?"

Sun Jian turned sideways and let a Yue Ren pawn stab the spear, then lunged forward, drew his knife and slashed the pawn's chest, and then didn't look at the life and death of the pawn who fell to the ground, and shouted to Zhang Jie, who was still fighting the trapped beasts in the array.

Zhang Jie didn't reply either, and led his clansmen to break through in the opposite direction, but it was ushered in a counterattack led by Huang Gai and a bow and arrow strike commanded by Xu Zhen......

"Since Leader Zhang is so resolute, he doesn't want to kill more, so he let the leader go back, and asks the leader to believe in the sincerity of Wentai's coming here! Come on, Mingjin collects the troops! ”

Sun Jian saw that Zhang Jie's subordinates were badly damaged, so he shouted at him again, and then ordered the whole army to retreat.

Killing all these Yue people is not good for himself, Sun Jian is here to recruit Yue people, and he is very clear about this goal.

As long as the Yue people are hurt, they can continue to talk about it, not to mention that they can sell a favor to Zhang Jie this time.

————

Back in the battalion, the generals still counted the losses and reported the battle achievements, only Wu Jing followed Sun Jian and walked into the Chinese army's tent together.

"Brother Jing, is there something wrong? Let's put it bluntly. ”

Sun Jian saw that he seemed to have something, so he asked directly.

"I heard that the Yue people of Jing County are already on the way here, there are many of them, and the leader Zu Lang is also fierce and warlike, I will release Zhang Jie back, if he and Zu Lang come again, wouldn't it be to let the tiger return to the mountain?"

Wu Jing hesitated for a moment but still expressed his worries.

"What Brother Jing said is reasonable, but he has prepared ......"

Sun Jian immediately explained to his brother-in-law, who was quite good at fighting.

Zhang Jie's tribe is only a branch of the Yue people, even if it is subdued now, the strength is still insufficient, if the more famous Zu Lang can be defeated, then all the Yue people in Danyang will not dare to underestimate his strength in the future.

Only when he recognizes his own strength can Sun Jian be able to recruit more reliable elite soldiers!

"Therefore, this battle must be fought, and it must be won!"

Sun Jian said firmly.

With the crossbowmen of the Wu and Xu clans, coupled with the tempering of the last few victories, the combat strength of the army under his command has been greatly enhanced, and Sun Jian is quite confident in defeating Zulang.

Although the Yue people also have many hunters, they are all scattered and unorganized, which is not the same concept as Sun Jianjun's professional shooting battalion.

Now the two shooting battalions in the army are playing an increasingly important role in the infantry battle, and the generals of Sun Jian's army are also more familiar with their tactics of fighting with the infantry soldiers, which is where Sun Jian's confidence lies.

As long as Zu Lang is defeated, more Shanyue elite soldiers are recruited, and even Zu Lang and others can be subdued, then dominating Jiangdong by himself is just around the corner!

"Report, lord, Captain Cheng sent someone to report urgently, Wucheng County's strong and strict white tiger killed the county officials without permission, and gathered tens of thousands of townships to raise troops to rebel!"

When Sun Jian was sketching out his grand cause, he was suddenly interrupted by the herald soldiers who had entered the account......
