Chapter 303: A Pot of Porridge
"Oh.
"Hmm." Li Tong couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, and when he turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo, he saw Dong Zhuo motioning for him to continue, and after taking a breath, he continued: "Huguan and Jinyang have successively sent news that the Yuan family has begun to move troops. ”
Dong Zhuo listened to this, not only did he not have the joy that he had already prepared, but he became even heavier: "What about other places." The expected Qiang people and Huns did not move, and Dong Zhuo couldn't feel at ease in his heart
"There's no news yet." Shaking his head, Li Tong replied in a low voice,
In the room, the atmosphere began to become more stagnant as Dong Zhuo fell into contemplation,
"It seems that the Huns are far smarter than the Xianbei people." For a long time, Dong Zhuo, who seemed to suddenly want to understand something, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes,
Li Tong, Chen Dao, Lu Yi and others were confused by Dong Zhuo's sudden words, knowing that the news was limited, they really couldn't understand what Dong Zhuo meant, only Xu Chu, who was standing still on the side, seemed to vaguely understand something, and when he thought about it carefully, he found that he didn't seem to understand anything.
"Fengxiao once predicted that the Xianbei people went south this time, including a big conspiracy, in order to improve the defense of all the forces around the state, Yuan Shao's troops were already in speculation, and now the Huns are not moving, it is indeed a little unexpected, but since Yuan Shao has been dispatched, I think the Huns should also have a move." After a general explanation, Dong Zhuo turned to look at Li Daodao: "Wenda, later you send someone to Xihe to give an order, let them be ready to fight at any time, strictly defend to the death, and be sure to ensure that Xihe is not lost within two months, otherwise, come and see you." ”
"No." Although Dong Zhuo said ruthlessly, Li Tong didn't feel anything, nodded and immediately responded,
After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo still explained out loud: "Feng Xiao has a follow-up move, and the Xihe guards only need to be able to hold out for two months, and the danger of Xihe can be lifted." ”
"Rest assured, although the last general took away a lot of soldiers, if he strictly guarded it, if the soldiers of Xihe only insisted for two months, there would be absolutely no problem." Huo Ran got up and slapped a few times on his chest, and Lu Yi confidently assured Dong Zhuo that those soldiers were all trained by him, and no one had more say in this regard than him.
"Okay." Looking up at Koji Yi, Dong Zhuo nodded approvingly, although it is not good to say that arrogance, but self-confidence is also essential, for Koji Yi, with Zhuyu in front of the first dead man, Dong Zhuo is naturally very confident,
"Lord, there is a military strategy, although there is no need to worry about the affairs of the Huns, but on the side of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is not the only one who sent troops this time, whether the lord wants to send more manpower." After a moment of silence, Li Tong suddenly spoke again,
"Oh, could it be that Yuan Shu also did it." It is rare, Dong Zhuo suddenly said in shock, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are good, and it is not bad that the protégés and former officials are all over the world, but the Yuan family can really be regarded as an achievement, and only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the others, and the rest of the Yuan relics who have been all the way in the Dong Alliance in the past have also been reduced to living under Yuan Shu at this time, and the rest of the children of the Yuan family are either mediocre and incompetent, or buried in the literature, and have no interest in the way of the eunuchs.
It's just that although Yuan Shu is also a thin achievement, but the territory he occupies is in Yuzhou, in the middle, but it is separated by a huge Sizhou, and because of the dispute between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the discord between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is known to the world, and the two can work together at this time, no wonder Dong Zhuo was surprised.
"What the lord said is good." Li Tong nodded, and then said: "According to the news transmitted back, the actions of the Yuan family this time were all designed by Yuan Kui, who was in Luoyang, and Yuan Shu went north, presumably under Yuan Kui's order. Li Tong also knew the contradiction between the two brothers of the Yuan family, Xu saw that Dong Zhuo had gossip in his heart, and immediately explained,
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, if it was just Yuan Shao, even if Guo Jia couldn't retreat from the enemy in the previous arrangement, it was still okay to defend desperately, but with the change of Yuan Shu, things would be a little difficult to say, after all, there are many ants that bite and kill elephants, and then there are elite soldiers, if the number is too small, there will be a moment when it will be exhausted.
Several people were discussing urgently, but no one thought that the situation in the state at this time would be worse than what they knew now.
At the beginning, the development of things was just as Dong Zhuo guessed, not long after, the news of the Huns' invasion was immediately delivered, and soon after, an even more unexpected news was passed back.
"Yanmen Fanzhi and Xinxing Wutai are in danger, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have sent troops."
When the news came, Rao is mind was Dong Zhuo's mind, and he was stunned almost immediately.
Originally, as early as Yuan Shao's decision to move troops to Bingzhou, he planned to pull Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan into the water, but the two were not stupid, even after the Xianbei people were the first to move, the two of them had been watching from the wall, until Yuan Shao couldn't help but send troops, the two took advantage of Jizhou, passed through the Taihang Well Path, and then divided their troops to attack and merge with the state, and because most of the shuttle places were mountain roads, it was difficult to find out in concealment, and the two of them could conceal it, so it was only now that the news was passed back.
Just as the road to the east was blocked after the battle of Yanmen Pass, the news of Dong Zhuo's troops has not been able to reach Guo Tu's ears, so that until now, Guo Tu does not know that it is not only Chen Zhi's soldiers who are fighting with him, the commander has already been replaced by Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan's actions are almost unknown to others, and suddenly, Dong Zhuo was caught off guard.
"Where have their army gone?" Feeling uneasy in his heart, Dong Zhuo only felt uncomfortable when he sat there, and after his body writhed unnaturally a few times, he asked Li Tong in a hoarse voice,
"Back to the lord, the last time I sent back the news, I just passed through Yangqu." is similar to Dong Zhuo, Li Tong is also haggard, and his eyes are bloodshot, but unlike Dong Zhuo and Wutai, Li Tong is tired of the continuous attacks of the Xianbei people.
Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, the development of the war had greatly exceeded his expectations, and now he even had a kind of panic and anxiety when he became Dong Zhuo in this era, and the war was impermanent, Dong Zhuo now really realized the meaning of this sentence,
At this time, more than ten days have passed since the last time they discussed, and the time that Dong Zhuo estimated that Guo Jia and they should arrive has passed, but there is still no one, and the army commanded by Guo Jia also disappeared without a trace seven days ago, no matter how he used all means, he was stunned that he could not find out their whereabouts.
"Find, send someone to find it, now Fanzhi and Wutai are in danger, there is no foreign aid and two places may be captured at any time, especially Wutai, as an important town in the north of Bingzhou, once this place is captured by Liu Yu, there is almost no danger to defend for thousands of miles in Bingzhou, this Guo Jia is simply going to force me to death." Roaring loudly, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to vent the anger in his heart, if Guo Jia appeared in front of him now, he was afraid that he would be rubbed to death, but even so, he never had the slightest suspicion in his heart,
Li Tong couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw it, and made an expression on his face that I couldn't hear anything,
Immortals fight, mortals suffer,
At this time, Li Tong's heart was full of this feeling,
Dong Zhuo is his lord, he can't arrange anything, as for Guo Jia's identity and status, just looking at Dong Zhuo's angry scolding every time is thunder and rain, you can see a lot of doorways, how dare he talk more to arrange, this is Guo Jia, if someone else took Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops to play missing, it is estimated that he would have been ordered by Dong Zhuo to be cut down a long time ago, but now for such a long time, although Dong Zhuo has scolded a lot, he has never said a cruel word, which shows how much Dong Zhuo trusts him,
In his heart, Li Tong guarded his mind and did not make the slightest move.
"During this time, the Xianbei people attacked like crazy, I am afraid that they have also gotten the news, and the war in Huguan is not easy, a small Yuan Shu actually commanded 100,000 troops to attack the city day and night, this is still because Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Shao withdrew his troops and sent them to the Taihang Jingjing, they are all bastards, they are all small princes, where did they come from so many soldiers." After scolding Guo Jia severely, Dong Zhuo gradually recovered, but when he thought of the war he was facing now, his anger soared again, and he opened his mouth to complain at Li Tong.
"Lord, Wutai is important, the problem of Fanzhi is even more urgent, once Gongsun Chan captures Fanzhi, there is only one place left between Yanmen Pass and the Yin Pavilion to defend, if Gongsun Chan is slightly bolder, directly send someone to lead the troops to enter after the Yin Pavilion, and you can arrive at Yanmen Pass overnight, if it is sandwiched with the Xianbei people, with our current manpower in the Guanzhong, we can't defend for long." Seeing that Dong Zhuo was getting farther and farther, Li Tong had to carefully remind him that Dong Zhuo was angry, and he really didn't want to touch this mold.
"There are no people and no soldiers, how can you let me rescue." With a long sigh, Dong Zhuo looked bitter,
Li Tong was also silent when he heard this, and in a few days, they had discussed this several times, but each time it came to an abrupt end at this node, after all, none of them had the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, and they were powerless, so they were helpless.
"Guo Jia, Guo Jia, you really want to pit Lao Tzu to death." Seeing Li Tong get up and leave, Dong Zhuo couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows bitterly, and sighed after a long time: "This merger is really a mess." ”
I don't know how long it took, Dong Zhuo, who had been sitting still, only felt as if he was unconscious, struggling to twist his body, and after a long time, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "Zhongkang, you immediately send someone to Yizhou, let Wen He hand over the affairs of Yizhou, and hurry over." ”
