Wang Kuang was busy making various plans, and Dong Zhuo, who had been paying attention to the movements of the surrounding princes, was not idle either.
"Oh? Did that guy on Prince's Day only send less than 10,000 people to Mengjin? Could it be that he thought he could conquer Luoyang with just this few people? Or was it that he planned to cut a hole above our heads and then join the gang of thieves from Guandong?
A way to attack Luoyang?"
Dong Zhuo took the latest information and was full of suspicions. You must know that the princes in Guandong are still in the preparation stage for war. Although it is not ruled out that some princes are already ready, judging from the current situation, although most of the princes have completed their connection,
But they have no intention of gathering yet. Can such stragglers challenge Dong Zhuo? This is really the biggest joke this year.
"Enxiang is clear. My son-in-law thinks that both of Enxiang's conjectures are reasonable, but I'm afraid they are both far from the truth."
"Okay Wenyou, it's not like you don't know my temper. Why have you become more and more showy after entering Luoyang City? If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, otherwise I'll let Xiao Baibai pull your beard. Huh~ No way.
Always let me enjoy such treatment."
When he thought of Dong Zhuo's lawless granddaughter, Li Ru suddenly felt a bit of cold air running from his back to his chest. Although the brazier used for heating in the room was burning brightly, the temperature in the room was actually not low.
, but Li Ru couldn't help but shuddered for a long time. Well, for the sake of his beautiful beard, for the sake that no strange things would appear in his shoes, and for the sake of not having hooks appear on the calligraphy and paintings he collected.
After wiping away the traces, Li Ru decided to surrender to Dong Zhuo.
"Wang Gongjie came from a powerful family, and Taishan was quite chaotic, so if Wang Gongjie couldn't tell the difference between the enemy and our forces, he would have died in the hands of those bandits long ago. Those Taishan bandits were as difficult to deal with as Bai Bo
Those monkeys in the valley.”
Dong Zhuo nodded. Although he was dismissive of those scholars, he also knew that places such as Taishan County, Kuaiji County, and Liaodong County often faced attacks from foreign tribes or bandits. Those who could take root and develop in such places
Basically, every family has its own unique way of survival. And judging the situation is where these ways of survival are most common.
"Although the Yellow River waterway is as wide as the rumored Yangtze River, there is no river in the north that can compare. In other words, if the Kwantung Allied Forces choose Mengjin as a breakthrough point, let alone whether it can be opened in the suburbs of Luoyang
We are related to
The total number of the Eastern Allied Forces must exceed 300,000. If the Kwantung Allied Forces are defeated, except for a few people, everyone else will become turtles in the urn. By then, I am afraid that our army in Hebei will surrender without a fight, and then Enxiang will be able to stand on his own.
emperor……"
"Okay Wenyou, don't mention that kind of thing again. You and I are both ministers of the Han Dynasty. We must clearly distinguish between what should be done, what should be said, what should not be done, and what should not be said. Otherwise, even if you are me
Son-in-law, I won’t let you go either.”
"It is clear from my kindness that my son-in-law has made a mistake."
But looking at Li Ru's expression, it didn't look like he was admitting his mistake. Instead, he looked regretful.
Yes, some things cannot be rushed. Back then, when King Wen of Zhou had two-thirds of the world's territory and the support of most tribes, didn't he pretend to surrender to the Shang Dynasty to ensure his own longevity? However, Dong Zhuo's son died young.
brother and clan
Brothers Dong Min, Dong Yue and others did not see what any of them could do to impress people. Perhaps this is also the reason for Dong Zhuo's hesitation. Of course, if the princes of Guandong cannot be severely damaged, these words are nothing.
Useful.
Compared with Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was obviously more disappointed with the Han Dynasty, but he was not Dong Zhuo. He did not have so many elite soldiers and generals, and he did not have the same reputation as Dong Zhuo in Xiliang, so he was just like Silo.
Generally, if there is not a thick and majestic tree for it to live in, Silo's final fate is to crawl among the weeds, let alone dream.
Huh? Why does it sound so strong? Forget it, if you understand, don’t say anything. If you don’t understand, you are all good kids.
"Okay, Wenyou. You diverted the topic just now. Now let's get back to the topic. Otherwise..."
Looking at Dong Zhuo's weird smile, which revealed the "you know" wretched feeling, Li Ru wondered if he had not woken up.
"Uh... Okay, Mr. En. Just now, my son-in-law said that there cannot be any wise men among the princes of Guandong, but they actually don't know us very well, although there are many rumors about us. There is a saying in the art of war: 'Know yourself, know your enemy.
, A hundred battles are not in danger.' So in order not to suffer a loss in the fight, my son-in-law thought that this attack on the Prince's Day should be just a test."
"Really? If that's the case, then we can't be too stingy. It just so happens that I haven't moved my muscles for a long time, so let me test the level of those Kwantung Allied Forces. They can use the elite soldiers given to them by Huangfu.
At what level?"
For generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time, the quality of soldiers can be clearly known with a little inspection. So not long after taking over the soldiers who had withdrawn from Xiliang, Dong Zhuo knew the fact that he had been tricked by Huangfu Song. As for those
Dong Zhuo knew exactly where the elite soldiers were without even thinking, especially since he also got the news that Yan Liang and others appeared in Bohai.
Regarding such a result, Dong Zhuo could only relieve his boredom by saying, "It's better to increase the strength of the Guandong princes, otherwise it will be too boring to defeat a group of rabble." Now that Wang Kuang is on his lips, Dong Zhuo naturally doesn't mind turning him into a
Become a punching bag.
"It is clear from my grace that you are now rich in wealth and cannot act rashly."
If Dong Zhuo hadn't suppressed Luoyang City, those high-ranking officials and nobles who were always looking for opportunities to "revenge" him would have taken the opportunity to make trouble. The most troublesome thing is that you can't attack those guys easily, because they are all slippery.
Very rarely, they won't leave you with any clues, so that you can only stare blankly even though you know they may have bad intentions.
Of course, this is not the most troublesome thing for Li Ru. The most troublesome thing is that those people who usually obey your orders and things will not go so smoothly without you, but inside they hate you to the core.
Such guys hidden in the depths are even more difficult to guard against, and the damage they cause is obviously greater than those high-ranking officials and nobles who have long been wary of.
However, Li Ru obviously underestimated his father-in-law's warlike nature.
"Wen You, that's why I have to take action in this battle. If I don't give those Guandong princes a chance, they will think that we Xiliang people are a group of barbarians who only know how to ask for money and food from the imperial court. I want to let
They know how capable the people of Xiliang are, who have to face strong enemies every day, and whether they are a bunch of trash who only know how to suck blood. Please stop trying to persuade them about this matter."
Seeing that Li Ru wanted to say something more, Dong Zhuo made a stop gesture before continuing.
"The little Wang Kuang doesn't need us to pay too much attention, so you will stay in Luoyang this time. The distance between Mengjin and Luoyang is limited. As long as you pay more attention, it will be enough to last until I lead troops to return. So you just need to do a good job
Two things are enough: one is to keep an eye on the little emperor and don't let those moths have the opportunity to contaminate him. The other is to keep an eye on the changes of the ministers and families after I leave, and keep a record of them when I come back.
Let's settle the score with them and don't think that my boss doesn't understand anything!"
After listening to Dong Zhuo's instructions, Li Ru stopped talking. Although Dong Zhuo saw Wang Kuang so clearly, Li Ru was a little worried, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think Wang Kuang alone was capable enough to withstand Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. Moreover, he also felt
Dong Zhuo is right. If we can take this opportunity to deal with a group of restless guys, then the Xiliang Army will have stronger control over Luoyang.
After that, all we need to do is fill Luoyang with those nobles from Xiliang. Xiliang has no shortage of talents.
So, two days later, Wang Kuang received information from Luoyang.
"What? Niu Fu's troops have also begun to gather towards Dongyuan? Dong's army is heading to Pingyin? Or is Dong's army in charge himself?!"
Wang Kuang held the information in his hands and didn't know what kind of expression he should show. Was he shocked by Dong Zhuo's overkill, or should he be a little proud that Wang Kuang, the majestic Wang Kuang, was so important to Dong Zhuo that he had to act in person before he dared to fight with him?
war.
"Master Taishou, could this be a trap set by Thieves Dong to make our army exhausted or to attack the east and the west?"
Sima Lang thought for a while and put forward different suggestions. But judging from his tone, I am afraid that he himself is not sure about his idea, but as a counselor, he must think more.
For reference.
But even he himself was skeptical, so as the chief officer, could Wang Kuang trust his judgment?
"Intelligence says that Thief Dong left his most trusted adviser Li Ru in Luoyang City, and there is no one around him who can make plans for him. Although I have no contact with Thief Dong, I heard Yuan Gulu mention it before,
This person never likes to use tactics in battles,**
What he did was to charge forward with a wave of the flag. Therefore, the battle damage rate of his troops has always been high. So when we encounter the troops led by him, it is enough for us to do a good frontal defense. Alas, I don’t know about this battle.
How many more soldiers will I have to fight in the future?"
Sure enough, Wang Kuang directly rejected Sima Lang's conjecture. There was no way, Dong Zhuo's reputation was too great.
"Fang Yue, go to the barracks to gather troops and horses, and then take people to the river bank opposite Pingyin to station defenses. In addition, notify Wang De and ask him to lead the Taishan Army to join you. Han Hao's mission remains unchanged, let him attack Mengjin
Guan, let’s see if we can contain Thief Dong.”
"The last general takes orders!" As a well-known general in Hanoi County, Fang Yue can be said to be the person Wang Kuang relies on most besides the generals of his family. At this moment, Fang Yue is also very excited. After all, this is a real
A battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting, instead of just a dozen or more gangsters. Sure enough, this kind of big scene is the romance of a warrior.
It should be said that Wang Kuang is indeed capable. The discipline and execution ability of his soldiers are quite good. Not long after the order was issued, thousands of troops marched to Pingyin County. Across the Yellow River, they
You can also vaguely see some fluttering flags, I guess they must be Dong Zhuo's army.
It was a pity that Wang Kuang and his troops had not settled in their new station for long. On a clear moonlit night, a group of troops quietly arrived at the outskirts of Wang Kuang's army station.
Night, quiet...
PS: It seems that we have reached the low point that appears every month again...
