Chapter 244: The Heroes of the World
In the end, Liu Mao still escaped, no matter how elite the trapped camp was, no matter how Gao Shun chased and killed, under the desperate protection of his subordinates, Liu Mao finally broke out of the encirclement alive with a small number of soldiers and horses.
In fact, since the soldiers in Liu Mao's army arrived, the task of chasing and killing Liu Mao has become impossible, otherwise, whether it is Xu Chu or Tai Shici, neither of them will leave easily, on the battlefield, no matter how brave the people are, it is almost impossible to rush to kill after facing a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, not to mention that the place where everyone is at this time is still the head of the city, here, there is no external force of horses available, and it is even more difficult.
However, although Liu Mao was gone, Zitong City was finally completely occupied by Dong Zhuojun when the sun was rising.
"How, can the enemy in the city be cleared, and whether the losses of our army have been calculated?" At the end of the hour, the sun had become scorching, and Dong Zhuo, who was covered in sweat, suddenly woke up from his deep sleep, and walked out of the camp after washing, only to feel a heat wave coming towards him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Should...... It should be fine. Beside him, Xu Chu, who had returned at some point, scratched his head, and stammered with a somewhat embarrassed face, at dawn, he only cared about wantonly rushing and killing, where would he write these down carefully, Dong Zhuo could see him at this time, or because after Liu Mao fled, the remaining soldiers in the city had no morale and were not killed.
Dong Zhuo seemed to know Xu Chu's reaction, but he smiled dispensably, and walked towards the camp entrance instead.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
As he expected, as soon as the group walked out of the camp, everyone waiting outside came forward to kneel and pay homage at the same time.
"Get up, Wenhe." After his eyes swept over the faces of Tai Shici, Gao Shun, and Le Jin one by one, Dong Zhuo suddenly found that there was no Jia Xu in the crowd, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
In the crowd, everyone looked at each other, and then Gao Shun suddenly stepped forward and shouted: "The military advisor is already waiting in the city, please enter the city!" ”
"Welcome to the city." This time, not only the generals, but also the soldiers outside the camp knelt down together, as if welcoming an emperor, bowing to Dong Zhuo and inviting them.
Yizhou is dangerous, Yongliang is fertile, Hanzhong is rich, any of these three places can be the emperor's business, but now, Dong Zhuo is about to put all the three places into his hands, Zitong has been down, and the rest of Chengdu is like a piece of fat, as long as Dong Zhuo is happy, it is only an overnight moment that he wants to take it down, no wonder this group of soldiers under his command has this attitude, presumably these are all planned by Jia Xu who has been hiding in the city.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo immediately laughed.
In two years, he has grown from a tragic figure struggling to survive to such a powerful figure now, the bitterness and bitterness of which only he himself knows, in order to adapt himself to this troubled world, how much effort he has put in, only he understands in his own heart, the emperor and the general have never been born to raise, he Dong Zhuo can have now, he is all fought by him with a knife and a gun.
"Okay, enter the city." In the midst of laughter, Dong Zhuo immediately took a big step forward, and behind him, a group of people hurriedly followed.
In October 191 AD, more than 1,000 people of Liu Mao fled in panic, and Dong Zhuobing, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, went to Zitong, and at this time, in front of him, there was almost only one Chengdu left.
The post-war affairs were very cumbersome to deal with, especially after just experiencing such a big battle as the siege of the city, Dong Zhuo's army losses reached a very high level, Dong Zhuo could only order a temporary truce in the end, and on the one hand, he sent people back to Chang'an quickly, so that Li Ru could send people to send people to receive it.
It was at this time that the world was surging.
In mid-October, Yuan Shao, who had been preparing for half a year, suddenly couldn't hold back his temperament, and was the first to attack Qingzhou, and in less than a month, the soldiers swept through the entire territory of Qingzhou, and even the famous Confucian Kong Rong had to show allegiance under Yuan Shao's soldiers.
In the same month, under Yuan Kui's calculations, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling was transferred to Luoyang by an order from Emperor Liu Xie, Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation to make a move, and soon occupied the entire territory of Yuzhou, but Yuan Shu was not satisfied with this, and at the suggestion of the strategist Yan Xiang, Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce, who was only fifteen years old, was used as a lieutenant and sent troops to Jingzhou again.
In the same month, Liu Dai, who had been confronting Mount Tai with Qiao Mao, suddenly united with Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent troops to Dongping, and then after the army even went down to Fanxian, Shouzhang, and Wuyan, he quickly approached Fucheng, and the troops pointed directly at Jibei, and at the same time, Cao Cao sent another clan pro-Cao Ren to lead the troops, and swept Jiyin and Shanyang counties with lightning speed
In the Central Plains, the battle situation is treacherous, except for Tao Qian's Xuzhou, which is as stable as a mountain, it is the border land of Bingzhou and Youzhou that is the most calm.
Under Dong Zhuo's secret actions, Bingzhou has already been occupied by him, compared to it, the calm of Youzhou seems even more weird.
In Luoyang, Kyoto, after Dong Zhuo left the Son of Heaven to offer the emperor, Liu Xie completely became the puppet of the Yuan family, the self-proclaimed three elders of the Han Dynasty, after seeking happiness for the Yuan family one after another, the dignity of the Son of Heaven was suddenly trampled on, not to mention the princes, even the Liu family did not have much awe of the imperial power.
Youzhou is located in the borderland, since ancient times there has been a strong folk style, this kind of folk customs, after Gongsun Chan is getting bigger and bigger, it is more prominent, and in terms of concept, the contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu has been constantly intensifying, but on the contrary, when the Central Plains is surging all over the country, the whole Youzhou is calm everywhere, such a situation, but it makes people look at the head confused, how the situation is that no one dares to talk about it.
In fact, it's not that Gongsun Chan doesn't want to send troops, and it's not that Liu Yu is so generous and benevolent that he can tolerate Gongsun Chan's "wolf ambition", but Youzhou has no food.
Youzhou is known for its cavalry, war horses are naturally indispensable, and on the land of Youzhou, there is originally a war horse, although the scale is average, it is enough to deal with the needs of Youzhou, but no one thought that after the strong rise of Gongsun Zhan, the number of soldiers under his command increased like a surge, and Liu Yu also had to follow to expand the size of the army.
What is even more unexpected is that in addition to the necessary guards, the state army is actually selling war horses, and after the two confirmed the accuracy of the news, the two began a new round of expansion.
It's just that what makes the two of them speechless is that the war horses in this state can only use grain to choose the price, and in desperation, the two had to send people around to collect grain and grass, and after more than half a year, the two were stunned to find that what they lack now is grain and grass.
Gongsun Zhan was better, and when he had no money and food, he sent people to the grassland to fight Xianbei, but for Liu Yu, it was a little difficult.
Different from the wealth of Yongzhou, Hanzhong, Yizhou and other places, Youzhou is a real bitter cold place, where most of the people follow the nomadic way of survival of the grassland, almost every household has chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep and other livestock, and the grain and grass are mostly fed on this.
However, the two of them were really crazy, and when they suddenly found out, the cavalry under Gongsun Zhan had exceeded 60,000, and not only him, but even Liu Yu, who had never been so keen on military affairs, was stunned to find that he had unknowingly raised 80,000 cavalry.
Then.
Then the next autumn was not over, and the two suddenly realized that there was no food in the huge Youzhou.
How is the world, Dong Zhuo didn't have time to pay attention to it at this time, and after half a month of rest, Dong Zhuo completely digested Zitong County, and on this day, Dong Zhuo called a group of generals into the mansion again, and then picked up Jia Xu to sort out the good news and looked at it carefully.
With this shadow guard, Dong Zhuo naturally knows about this information, for the tragedy of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, Dong Zhuo can only express his admiration, for Yuan Shao's sudden dispatch of troops, Dong Zhuo just glanced at it and threw away the news, as for the news of Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, and Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo even threw it away without looking at it, but Sun Ce, who had just debuted, made Dong Zhuo's eyes shine, and when he read Cao Cao's news, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
After getting the action of Xun Yu and Xun You, Cao Cao successively got the action of Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others, and his power grew several times out of thin air, both civil and military, who would have thought that in this short period of time, Cao Cao would have become a climate.
"It seems that we have to create some trouble for Cao Cao." After secretly remembering it in his heart, Dong Zhuo picked up the information about Yizhou again.
It's just that Dong Zhuo just picked it up for a moment, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Well, it seems to be in trouble......"
yes, it's really troublesome.
On the side, Jia Xu, who had already known these news, couldn't help nodding in agreement after listening to Dong Zhuo's muttering, thinking about the difficulties of Shu Dao, he couldn't help but be a little big, originally thought that after Zitong was conquered, Yizhou would soon be out of war, but he didn't expect that a Liu Fan would make a sudden change in the battle situation in Yizhou.
"Liu Yan is a royal family, this Liu Fan is Liu Yan's eldest son, how could Liu Yan let him be exposed to many miscellaneous things, in my opinion, there must be a master in the enemy army now, Wen He, there is no news on this point." After thinking carefully for a while, Dong Zhuo finally raised his head, and there was a hint of wisdom in his eyes.
"No, stupid, I didn't think of such a reason before, but I didn't tell you to investigate it." Jia Xu bowed slightly, regardless of whether Dong Zhuo's inquiry meant to blame or not, he had already taken the matter on his head first.
"It's not your fault, it's our carelessness, it's too underestimating the heroes of the world......" I don't know what I remembered, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly showed a hint of mockery inexplicably,
