Autumn is getting stronger, the original midsummer time of the kind of long days and short nights have begun to gradually fade, into August, a little more time in the middle of the day has been completely hidden, and then not long work, the sky is completely dark, until the end of the time, a whole hour of time, as Dong Zhuo's vanguard army of 30,000 soldiers finally entered the county to settle down.

"Hahaha...... Fengxiao, as you said, now all Yuan Shao's energy is attracted to Youzhou, under the continuous rain, the huge Shexian County does not even have the slightest vigilance, and it is a battle, Fengxiao should be the first to take the lead. In the county seat, which was originally the mansion of the county order, Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed heartily after taking a big sip of wine.

Who would have thought that someone would be willing to brave the heavy rain to march and raid a place, and who would have thought that Dong Zhuo, who is the commander of the army, and Guo Jia, the military advisor, the two highest-ranking figures, will not sit peacefully in the Chinese army, but will actually appear in the vanguard army.

"The lord has an overreputation, but it's just a small calculation." With a smile in the corner of his eyes, although he didn't care about it, Guo Jia's face was full of triumph, Yuan Shaoqi, no matter whether Dong Zhuo and Guo Jia could afford it or not, their strength was clearly there, fighting with such a character was exactly what Guo Jia had always wanted, and now that the battle has started, no matter whether this first battle is won or lost, Guo Jia's mind is more happy, not to mention that now it is calculated, the army they brought directly stepped into the gate of Shexian without the slightest hindrance.

"It's good to say that such a heavy rain is not an easy thing for the baggage team, and perhaps the first problem that the army has to face is the baggage." Dong Zhuo's face was also smiling, and his victory always made people happy, but soon, Dong Zhuo sighed as if he had thought of something.

"What the lord said is very true." The smile gradually put away, and Guo Jia's face began to become serious: "Now that the county has been lowered, the gate of Jizhou is already in the hands of the lord, the portal is open, and the advance and retreat are controlled by the free lord, but if you want to talk about suddenness, the news of the corpse of the county cannot be transmitted at this time, and it is the best opportunity for the lord to show his skills." ”

"Shexian to Ye County, there are two roads to go, one is due east, through Wu'an to Handan, and then turn south to Ye County, this road is mainly an official road, the easiest to walk, but in between the towns are densely populated towns, so that if there is a slight difference, the army's tracks will be exposed, and the purpose of the raid will not be achieved." Bowing his head and groaning, Dong Zhuo slowly spoke with hesitation, and then as if to leave time for Guo Jia to digest, he paused slightly before continuing:

"The second is to abandon the convenience of the official road, take a small road along the Qingzhang River from the territory of Shexian County, and make a detour to Ye County." Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's words paused again before he continued: "Zhangshui is divided into two, there are clear and turbid, but at the Huangjiaoyi, the two waters are combined into one, rushing straight to Ye County, the army invades, it is not easy for people to find, but if you go directly south from Shexian County, the surrounding places are in the range of the Taihang Mountains, almost all of them are mountain roads, not to mention, many places don't even have roads, I don't know how to choose, and please Feng Xiao pointed it out for me." ”

I have to say that Dong Zhuo's words are almost the same as what Guo Jia thinks in his heart, it can be seen that over the years, he has not been standing still, after all, he is still a "young man" in thinking, and he does not even have the slightest war quality that this era should have, Dong Zhuo's plasticity is far stronger than others, and after several wars, he has grown up and matured rapidly, and this is also what Dong Zhuo is most proud of, and Li Ru and others are particularly satisfied.

"Actually, Ye County is just a bigger city, the lord doesn't need to see how important it is, this time I and Wen He, Wen You want to take Ye County first, what is more important is his symbolic meaning, anyway, Ye County is also Yuan Shao's lair, and if it is down, Yuan Shao and others can be said to be rootless duckweed, no matter how strong the remaining strength in their hands is, it is just a lost dog, just like those rogues in the states and counties, in addition to wandering, they are actually not afraid." didn't speak immediately, Guo Jia lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he slowly raised his head and said.

Immediately, without waiting for Dong Zhuo to say anything, Guo Jia exhaled and continued: "The two roads that the lord said have their own advantages and disadvantages, if you choose the big road, the road is easy, and the grain and grass materials are easier to escort to arrive, if you choose the small road, it is possible to block the logistics and supplies because the road is difficult, the deterrent effect of the road is stronger, and the possibility of a successful sneak attack on the small road is greater, Jia doesn't know which road will be better in this case, how to choose, and the lord needs to choose." ”

It seemed that Guo Jia kicked the ball back to Dong Zhuo again, but Dong Zhuo knew that Guo Jia's tirade sprinkled with mud was by no means as simple as just talking, it seemed that nothing was expressed, but in fact, everything was said, and with his head down, Dong Zhuo suddenly fell into contemplation.

"Okay, I've decided, this time, we'll take the big road, go east, and go straight to Wu'an." After a long time, Dong Zhuo suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he shouted very solemnly.

"No." Standing up solemnly and bowing down, a light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and the eyes that looked at Dong Zhuo suddenly became more eager, the way of using soldiers, or strange or positive, Qi is the best way, Dong Zhuo's previous wars, almost all of them are based on "Qi", and there are few frontal confrontations with the enemy to attack the city and seize the land, although this means ensures the safety of the lives of his soldiers, in fact, in the battle, he has already lost a lot.

But despite this, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others have never said anything about this, nor have they deviated from Dong Zhuo for this reason, but they only use odd as a means in the war, Dong Zhuo cannot be said to be mature after all, these years, Dong Zhuo's growth They have all seen it, and they have been waiting for Dong Zhuo to take that particularly important step as a qualified monarch, and now, after several years of waiting, now there is finally a result.

It's not that the soldiers are used well, even if they are a qualified monarch, but the use of soldiers is in between, but it is the time when a person's heart is most tormented, if Dong Zhuo is more concerned about the life of the soldiers, then the use of soldiers is a sign of the change in Dong Zhuo's whole heart, and this is what they value the most.

Shexian is not big, not small, as the intersection of Jizhou and Bingzhou, Yuan Shao left a lot of soldiers here, but unfortunately the continuous heavy rain lowered everyone's vigilance, so that after Dong Zhuo led the troops to attack, Shexian was almost not how to resist was directly taken, and the 15,000 Yuan Shaojun in the city became Dong Zhuo's prisoner without wielding a sword, after collecting their weapons and armor, Dong Zhuo left 5,000 soldiers in the city to defend and guard, waiting for the army behind to come, Shortly after noon the next day, Dong Zhuo and Guo Jia, who had been properly arranged, set off again with the army, and the soldiers pointed directly at Wu'an.

Between Wu'an and Shexian County, there is only less than a hundred miles of distance, if it is in a good day, it is just a day's work to arrive, but now the official road, one foot deep and one foot shallow is almost full of mud, although the official road is already the best road in the Han Dynasty today, but it is only maintained occasionally, plus now that the war has been raging for many years, the princes are busy fighting and expanding their territory, where will there be time to pay attention to the road conditions, but even so, the official road is not known to be many times better than those small roads.

It took two and a half days, and on the evening of the third day, Dong Zhuo and his party finally quietly touched Wu An, in the dim night, the rain continued to wash the city in the rain, Wu An was like a proud man, standing there with the sky and the earth, letting him wind and rain, and not seeing the slightest retreat and dodge.

"Zhong Kang, find a way to contact the shadow guards in Wu'an City, let them hang a few ropes on the city wall from time to time, and then let the guards do it, you go and tell them to be careful." After looking at it for a moment, Dong Zhuo suddenly said aloud.

"No." Nodding in response, Xu Chu hurriedly ran to prepare, and then under Dong Zhuo's order, the army slowly withdrew from Wuli and began to camp, just to avoid the sight of Yuan Shao's soldiers on the head of the city, and would not be discovered by the naked eye.

Soon, the night began to get deeper and deeper, and after taking a nap, when Dong Zhuo woke up again, it was already the last short period of time.

"Lord......" When Dong Zhuo walked out of the tent, a group of people immediately stepped forward to worship.

"How's it going, are you all ready?" The shadow guard actually has a unique contact information, so Dong Zhuo is not worried that he will not be able to contact the people in the city, and after letting everyone get up, Dong Zhuo immediately looked at Xu Chu who was guarding the door of his tent and followed him after he walked out.

"It's all right, ready to go." Nodding, Xu Chu responded.

"Let's do it, remember, the first goal is to open the gates." Turning his head, Dong Zhuo seriously swept over the five hundred soldiers standing in front of him one by one, and then said solemnly, although he had made a choice not long ago, it did not mean that he had given up the strange use, he only knew that he was stupid and went directly to lead the troops to attack the city and plunder the land, as if at this time, if he could have a choice, Dong Zhuo would still choose the most beneficial method for himself as soon as possible.

"No." In a low voice, five hundred people hurried away in the night, and their bodies were soon swallowed up by the night, and the rain in the night sky seemed to suddenly become bigger at this moment, crackling and slamming on the ground, covering up the movement of the soldiers running.
