"Let me tell you, the enemy troops suddenly split up. According to the results of the torture of the captured prisoners, it seems that the leaders of the bandit, Beigong Boyu and Bian Yun, led the large group of people to flee west towards Chencang, while the ones heading northwest were
It was led by Li Wenhou and Han Yue
, the target should be Yumi where the enemy stores grain, grass and trophies. Should we also follow suit and divide our troops? If so, how to divide our troops? If not, which route should we pursue? Time is running out, so don’t waste time. Let’s talk quickly.
"
This was the voice from Dong Zhuo, and there were a lot of people surrounding him at this time. However, because they all lowered their heads and looked at the military map they were visiting in the middle of the crowd, it was difficult to distinguish them from behind.
One distinction.
"Beigong Boyu and Bian Yun were the leaders of this Qiang rebellion, and the reward given by the court was the highest. Although Yumi was the place where the rebels stocked up on food and fodder, it was just because the army had gathered in the Wugong Meiyang area before, so
Most of the materials inside have been transferred to
After arriving at Yicheng, there shouldn’t be too many supplies stored in Yumi City now, so I think we should put most of our troops on Beigong Boyu and Bian Yun, the two rebel leaders. After cleaning up these
Just two people, Li Wenhou and Han Yue, can purchase and raise money."
"I think otherwise. Maybe the grain and grass in Yumi City have been transferred to Xicheng as Wen Zhong said, but what about the property plundered by the Qiang people? The battle to regain Xicheng was commanded by General Dong. I guess there must be how much grain and grass there is in the city.
Property should be the clearest
Chu, I hope General Dong can tell everyone. If those belongings are still stored in Yumi City and taken away by the rebels, then the losses suffered by Liangzhou officials and people will be unprecedentedly huge. For the central government
The loss to the library is also immeasurable.”
Almost instantly, two completely different opinions were put forward, which made everyone present feel a bit bitter. But on one side is the fame that is almost at your fingertips, and on the other side is a lot of money that can be harvested with a little effort.
Wealth, this made everyone here hesitant for a moment, so everyone focused their attention on Dong Zhuo.
"In retrospect, the amount of grain and grass in the treasury of Yicheng is indeed very different from the amount of property. I thought it was the thieves who took all the property with them, but now it seems that the thieves obviously put all the looted things in Yumi
In the city.”
Dong Zhuo thought about it and finally came to a conclusion. It was hard enough for him. Although he was not brainless or uneducated, he seemed to be born with an extreme aversion to copywriting work and was able to write down so many figures.
, and thanks to the fact that the food, grass and finances are closely related to him, otherwise he would be too lazy to waste his brain cells. Well, this should be quite similar to Lu Bu.
However, Dong Zhuo's words made everyone immediately confused. After all, if you want to climb higher and more steadily these days, especially for warriors like them, it is a matter of course to follow the path appropriately. It's just a matter of course.
But the difference is that some people
Those who follow the path of eunuchs are efficient, fast and have a high success rate, but they have a bad reputation. Some people follow the path of aristocratic families. Although the success rate is not high and there is a risk of siding with one another, the reputation is much better. This is
It all depends on personal preference.
But no matter which path you take, you must spend a considerable amount of money or things that can be measured in money, such as famous paintings, calligraphy books, beauties, etc. So if you can make some extra money during the war, it is obvious that you and your family's activities
Funds are more abundant. After all, even if you don't use your own nephews and clansmen, they will always be able to use them. After all, apart from the connections, the military countries such as personal soldiers and private soldiers who have built their careers and saved their lives will not have a penny.
Pay for it.
At this moment, even Sun Jian, who is relatively considerate of the country, is there fighting between heaven and man, not to mention a more selfish guy like Dong Zhuo. You must know that although Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang have very good heads.
It's valuable, but you have to be lucky to get it. It seems that generals have always had a high escape rate in battles since ancient times. It's really not easy to get their heads. Besides, doesn't Yumi have two heads, although they are not as good as the previous two?
The position is valuable, but plus the property in the city.
For a time, the balance in everyone's mind began to slowly tilt. After all, when they went out to fight, they basically had more thoughts of serving the country than making achievements for themselves. What's more, everyone was also worried that the Qiang people's dying counterattack would cause their own death.
loss.
"General Chariot and Cavalry has an order!" Just when everyone was about to make a unanimous decision, a shout suddenly came from outside the military tent.
Tao Qian's appearance ended this debate that had everyone entangled. Although some people felt regretful that they were not able to obtain the benefits at their fingertips, with Zhang Wen's command, they could transfer their resentment to
After being cursed and resented by Zhang Wen, they rushed to their respective battlefields in accordance with Zhang Wen's general orders with peace of mind.
By the way, can this kind of thought be called tsundere? This kind of tsundere is 100% arrogant without any coquettishness.
So Li Shushi and his party continued to mix with Zhang Ji's team and followed Dong Zhuo to Chencang. They were accompanied by Sun Jian, Bao Hong, Zhou Shen and Xu Rong. Among them, Bao Hong was a native of Fufeng and was regarded as a big shot like a local snake. He was responsible for
guide.and
Zhou Shen and Xu Rong both came from the Northern Army. Zhou Shen was a bandit general, while Xu Rong was a miscellaneous captain. Although Sun Jian's ability was the most outstanding among them, his official position was the smallest. Of course,
The premise is that Dong Zhuo has been reinstated.
Among these people, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo had a very bad relationship with each other. After all, Sun Jian often snitched on Dong Zhuo to Zhang Wen. Although Zhou Shen was of average ability, he had a relatively high status because of his strong backing. However,
His ability is only average, but he is also impatient but has a bad temper.
He didn't listen to anyone's advice, so although his relationship with Xu Rong was not as dire as that between Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian, even if they were stabbed in person (and stabbed in the back), Xu Rong didn't have the slightest fondness for this kind of person who was a vegetarian. Of course, Zhou
Shen couldn't possibly have a good face towards this guy who gave him a cold face.
In Li Shushi's view, if Bao Hong, a guy like Bao Hong, who had a good family background and good abilities, but was a very good person, had not been intervening in the entire army, there would have been internal strife before Bao Buqi could fight the Qiang people.
.
Finally, Li Shushi, who really couldn't stand the frowning Zhang Ji repeating the stories that his coach and Sun Jian had to tell, gave Dong Zhuo an idea through Zhang Ji. That was to let Dong Zhuo lead the good team.
The elite soldiers fighting in the Changshan area rushed to Chencang City through small roads in advance to capture it before the Qiang people. Even if they failed to complete the task before the Qiang people, they still had to try to pin the Qiang army to Chencang City and secure space for the follow-up army.
to enough time.
Of course, Li Shushi dared to say this out loud. After all, he was Dong Zhuo's superior who ordered Dong Zhuo, a fierce and outstanding guy among both the Han army and the foreign races. If he had poor mental quality, he would scare his heart.
, not to mention Li Shushi, who was far inferior to Dong Zhuo in terms of rank, qualifications and results.
Dong Zhuo was also a little amused by Li Shushi's proposal. If you ask him to leave his troops and take a small number of troops to climb the mountains, let's not talk about whether his small troops can withstand the Qiang cavalry who are also good at mountain warfare. Just say that he will stay.
Whether the troops here will become cannon fodder in the hands of those with malicious intentions is definitely not a groundless worry.
Dong Zhuo knew Tao Qian's plan very well. At least he knew that based on his relationship with Sun Jian, Zhang Wen would never put the two of them together according to Zhang Wen's habits. But what about now? The meaning is obvious.
, especially when one road is dangerous but has few benefits, and the other road is rich in rewards but not risky, Dong Zhuo, who has been in the officialdom for decades, understands it very well.
Therefore, in order to preserve his own combat power, if the positions of Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian are reversed, Dong Zhuo will never be merciful. Dong Zhuo, a ruthless man like Sun Jian, believes that he will not be the same. And the most important thing is that if it is an ordinary general,
estimate
It is difficult for Ji to command the arrogant soldiers under his command, but Sun Jian is different. Dong Zhuo deeply recognizes Sun Jian's strength, otherwise the two people would not be hostile to each other until now, just because both sides harbor suspicions about each other.
Have deep fear.
"The people who know you best are often not your friends, but your enemies." Although Dong Zhuo didn't understand this sentence, he understood the truth. So if it weren't for the sake of Zhang Ji who was helping to spread the message, Dong Zhuo would have thought
The urge to strangle Li Shushi to death.
By the way, didn't you Li Shushi refuse Zhang Wen's request to recruit his subordinates, and now you want me to be selfless?!
Of course, in addition to Dong Zhuo's eyes that looked like an evil dragon staring at the innocent villagers, Li Shushi also gained Sun Jian's eyes that seemed to be looking at the brave dragon. Why did Li Shushi think that these two looks were actually giving a warning to others?
How about holding a memorial service by yourself? It turns out that the two of you are actually good friends who cherish each other, the kind of people who wish they had met each other before they were married.
Chencang, this place does not appear many times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is enough to make people worry this time. At the same time, it also made a previously unknown but accomplished general Hao Zhao.
It should be noted that the Chencang City that Li Shuzhen is about to arrive now is not the ancient Chencang City that Hao Zhao later guarded. That city was built at another location after Cao Zhen recommended Hao Zhao to guard here during the Wei Dynasty and found that the city was dilapidated.
The main purpose of the military fortress was to prevent Western Shu from marching north, so all the defensive measures were very complete to allow the Shu army to return in defeat.
However, although the current Chencang City is far less defensive than the later fortress, it still gave Li Shushi's army a small surprise.
Yes, surprise without quotation marks. Because when Li Shushi and others saw the peaceful Chencang City, the gate of the city suddenly opened by itself, and the people who came out were not the Qiang people who were about to fight the Han army.
, but a dozen soldiers who were in a terrible state of disarray.
"Nan Rong, is it really you!" Although they don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the opponent's gourd, these battlefield veterans will not relax too much. The defensive formation has been arranged when the city gate opens.
, but suddenly, Bao Hong, who was originally hiding in the formation, suddenly shouted loudly, as if there was someone he knew well among the group of lonely people opposite.
"What kind of drama is this?" The words of the hasty-tempered Zhou Shen represented the aspirations of the vast majority of people at this time.
