Chapter 42: It is advisable to chase after the poor (ask for reading)

After roughly packing up the available materials, Dong Huang left Zhang Liao to command Huo Du, Huo Jun, Fu Wei, Niu Gai and others to defend Luoyang and Tiger Pass and other important places, and asked Zhang Ji and Du Ji to do a good job in logistics support and material organization, and let Gao Shun's troops take advantage of the situation to attack Yanzhou, Chenliu and other counties and Baimajin, and he personally led the army to cross the river, aiming directly at Jizhou.

When Dong Huang's main force arrived in Xiaopingjin, the news of Tai Shici and Le Jin's success just came.

Before sending troops, Jia Xu put forward a plan to attack the east and the west, so that Dong Huang made the illusion that the army was about to cross the river from Mengjin, which made Wang Kuang misjudge, and ordered Han Hao to lead the soldiers and horses to Mengjin to garrison, intending to defend the riverbank, but Dong Huang secretly sent a navy to escort Tai Shici and Lejin to cross the river from Xiaopingjin.

Liu Biao's general Cheng Lian, who assisted in the defense of Xiaopingjin, was easily defeated by Tai Shici, Le Jin, and Zhou Tai because the elite main force of the department was buried by Liu Hu on the other side of the river, coupled with insufficient defense.

After that, Zhou Tai and others stayed in Xiaopingjin to assist the large army to cross the river, Tai Shici and Le Jin led the men and horses of their headquarters to detour through the rear of Han Hao's army to launch a surprise attack, and the other led the army to raid Zhihuai County, Hanoi County.

Tai Shici, who made a detour to the rear of Han Hao's camp, launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Han Hao troops that night, captured Han Hao alive, and annihilated Han Hao's troops.

Le Jin, who attacked Huaixian, first broke the city and easily captured the whole city, and Wang Kuang fled in a hurry with only a few guards.

Interestingly, after Lejin occupied Huai County, he was warmly welcomed by the squires of Huai County from the bottom of his heart. It turned out that in order to monitor the whole county, Wang Kuang sent his subordinates to search for criminals everywhere and torture them, and the criminals had to pay a lot of money and goods to get rid of the crime.

So who are the criminals? Naturally, whoever has the money is!

Under this strategy, Hanoi was full of complaints for a while, so that when Le Jin led the army to capture Huaixian, he was regarded as a royal teacher.

Dong Huang entered Hanoi County in the middle of the welcome of the people of Hanoi.

Hanoi County is Luoyang's barrier on the north bank of the Yellow River, connecting Bingzhou and Jizhou, to the north is Shangdang County, to the west you can enter the hinterland of Bingzhou, and to the east you can enter the rich Jizhou.

The main force of Dong Huang's army rested in Hanoi for a while, and then the main force went straight to Yecheng.

Wang Kuang was defeated, and the Huang army crossed the river, and Liu Biao was the most frightened.

After getting the news from Wang Kuang and Cheng Lian that Dong Huang's army had crossed the river and occupied Huai County, Liu Biao's first reaction stationed near Chaoge was to flee, flee quickly!

The 500,000 army of Sour Zao has been defeated, and the Yellow River defense line has been lost, and he is still not running, waiting to send Dong Huang his military exploits!

His idea was supported by Geng Wu, Min Chun, Fu Xu, Tian Feng, Yuan Shao, Liu Hu, Liu Bei, Zhang Miao, Sun Jian and others!

Geng Wu, Min Chun, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others have been running in with Liu Biao for a long time, and they are quite satisfied with Liu Biao.

In the original history, some of them were eye-to-eye with Yuan Shao, and finally backstabbed Han Fu to assist Yuan Shao in taking Jizhou, but Liu Biao is different from Han Fu, Han Fu is just Yuan's former official, while Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family!

What does it mean to be a Han clan?

In troubled times, the Han clan can also become the emperor in law!

For people of insight, the situation after Dong Zhuo's chaos is actually similar to that after Wang Mang's rebellion.

This also means that if they can assist Liu Biao to become the emperor, they will become the new Yuntai Twenty-eight Generals, and even replace the Five Classics and the Thirteen Families to become the new Valve Reading Family, which is not better than defecting to Yuan Shao?

What's more, Yuan Shao, who was burdened with the defeat of the black pot and the loss of his daughter-in-law, what qualifications does he have to compare with Liu Biao at this time!

As for Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Zhang Miao, and Sun Jian, these people succumbed to Liu Biao, which was also a helpless move.

Most of their soldiers were either killed or drowned, and even the prince Bao Xin, who crossed the river with them and escaped, disappeared into the Yellow River.

Only Cao Cao, although he also escaped, but he used the excuse of going home to ask his father to borrow money to recruit soldiers, so he was not here.

Although Liu Biao was indecisive, he also knew that they were all talents, and under Liu Hu's persuasion, he incorporated them and gave them a certain army, which he regarded as his minions.

Under normal circumstances, with fierce people such as Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, plus Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others, Liu Biao should be able to train a strong army, however, the time left by Dong Huang for them is too short.

Compared to the victorious Dong Huang army, their troops were a rabble.

In fact, after receiving the news of Yuan Shaoluoyang's fiasco, Fu Zhu had already offered advice to Liu Biao.

The best strategy was to let Liu Biao incorporate Wang Kuang, unify the Hebei army, and defend the Yellow River defense line, and at the same time seize the time to consolidate the city defense of Yecheng, reserve materials to defend the city, and prepare for the defeat of Dong Zhuojun with Yecheng as the basis after the Yellow River defense line is lost; He also proposed a strategy of forming an alliance with Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Zan to unite the forces of the north to defeat Dong thieves.

For this strategy, Liu Biao's subordinates actually have objections, needless to say, Lu Bu is the only general under Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yan is a thief, as for Gongsun Zhan, he didn't even have the courage to continue to fight Dong Zhuo, and returned to Youzhou directly.

But Fu Zhu said that Lu Bu seems to be reused, but he is actually suspicious, Zhang Yan seems to be reckless but is actually shrewd, as for Gongsun Zhan, as long as he doesn't come to grab Jizhou's territory!

In the end, under Tian Feng's side drum, Fu Zhu successfully persuaded Liu Biao to send people to form an alliance with Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Zhan.

However, some indecisive and feather-cherishing Liu Biao did not completely follow the advice of Fu Zhi to annex Wang Kuang and defend the Yellow River, but only sent Cheng Jian and others to assist Wang Kuang in guarding the Yellow River; did not desperately run Yecheng, but left the main force near Chaoge.

His seemingly modest, but in fact indecisive, both appropriate and standing, was so angry that he stomped his feet.

On the battlefield, the side that is at an absolute disadvantage is not qualified to be modest!

If you don't do a good job of defense on the front road, and you don't do your best to arrange the back road, isn't this going to be a death!

The follow-up effects of Liu Biao's erroneous deployment were also quickly felt.

When Dong Huang's army calmly crossed the river, Liu Biao was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect Cheng Jian and Wang Kuang to be so unscrupulous.

Cheng Jian is just that, after all, there are not many elites under him, but what about Wang Kuang!

Liu Biao was frightened, and hurriedly summoned Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Liu Hu, Yuan Shao and others to discuss countermeasures.

At the same time, he sent a group of soldiers and horses to Liyang to form a corner with Yecheng, waiting for an opportunity to cut off Dong Huang's army, and also suggested that Fang Yuan Shao go to Bohai to recruit troops, Liu Bei go to Youzhou for help, Liu Qi as a proton to go to Zhang Yan's army for help, and choose a person who can speak well to bring a large amount of money and beauty to Lu Bu's army to talk about the benefits!

Tian Feng suggested that a general should be selected to guard Yecheng, and Liu Biao should lead people into Bohai County, and at the same time appoint his subordinates as Qingzhou Assassin History and Yanzhou Assassin History, taking advantage of the absence of two states to seize Qingyan and Erzhou.

Liu Pan suggested fighting against the odds and talking about it.

After the defeat, Liu Hu, the agent who escaped with his life, did not dare to fight anymore, but wanted to seek the history of Qingzhou Thorn, obviously because he fell in love with Qingzhou soldiers.

Yuan Shao kept a low profile, and he was in charge of the Ming Gong at one time.

Liu Bei, who was reluctant to sit at the table, saw that everyone couldn't come up with a charter after discussing it for most of the night, but he couldn't hold back any longer, pulled out his sword and cut a strand of hair, and said hatefully: "Dong Huang'er is treacherous with soldiers and makes good use of cavalry, and the army of this prince is mainly foot soldiers, how can he escape the pursuit of Dong Huang's army?" Why don't you take advantage of the availability of morale to inspire all the monarchs to fight to the death, although you are not talented, you are willing to be the vanguard! ”
