"It seems that the enemy's main attack direction is my side..."
Li Jue had a confident smile on his face while dealing with the continuous offensives of the coalition forces.
Although he had followed Dong Zhuo for decades and experienced hundreds of large and small battles, it was not until he followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang that Li Jue felt the feeling of commanding an army for the first time. After all, most of the previous battles were fought by Dong Zhuo.
As for overall command, Li Jue can only get one position as captain of the special forces at most. However, due to the number of troops in Dong Zhuo's hands, Li Jue's share will naturally not be much larger. How can it be like now? At least ten thousand are used as the unit of measurement.
.
Compared with Hu Zhen, Li Jue is much more courageous. No, it should be said that when it comes to the courage of senior generals in the Xiliang Army, Hu Zhen is definitely a popular candidate for deputy squad leader, although in some cases Hu Zhen is not lacking in courage.
and a desperate performance, but in most cases Hu Zhen would rather perform less dangerous tasks.
In fact, many people like to call Hu Zhen a "businessman" behind his back, thinking that he is so obsessed with his courage that unless the merits of the task are enough to pay for his courage in his opinion, he is definitely an ideological
He can be as far away from danger as he needs to be, and because of his unique identity, even Dong Zhuo is helpless against his behavior most of the time.
However, what Li Jue found ironic was that such a guy turned out to be the vanguard in the decisive battle between Dong Zhuo's army and the coalition forces. Although he could not question Dong Zhuo's decision, Li Jue secretly expressed his disapproval of Zhao Cen, Li Zhuo and others.
It's not worth the wait.
Of course, he also understood that if instead of a glorious position like Pioneer Officer, the position that Li Jue held now was given to Hu Zhen, no matter how brave Li Jue was, he would still have one eye in his two eyes when fighting.
Half-staring at the wing where Hu Zhen was, he was mentally calculating when the opponent would collapse so that he could evacuate immediately.
Well, in fact, Guo Si and Li Jue privately encouraged Yang Ding to kill Hu Zhen on the battlefield - if Hu Zhen's escape gave Yang Ding an excuse.
Of course, this is not just because Hu Zhen lacks enough fighting spirit, but more importantly, Hu Zhen's popularity among the Xiliang army has almost reached the point of being obscene. If Yuan Shu's behavior of cutting off food to Sun Jian among the coalition forces made him
Disgraceful words
, then Hu Zhen has done similar things over and over again in the Xiliang Army - as long as it can help him gain credit and improve his status or prevent others from gaining credit and surpassing him, Hu Zhen will do it in a light or heavy way.
Similar things happened.
Yes, this is a disgusting guy, but as mentioned before, he, Yang Ding and Duan Yan have a very special status in the Xiliang Army.
Dong Zhuo is a small clique, so even if the old Dong is filled with hatred sometimes, there is nothing he can do unless Hu Zhen goes too far.
Did Hu Zhen ever touch Dong Zhuo's bottom line?
The answer is no.
From this, you will understand why Hu Zhen, who is so hated by people, can still live happily until now.
Well, the reason why Li Jue can leisurely think about all these things is because his opponent Cao Cao is really weak, so much so that Li Jue can even get distracted on the battlefield.
.
Yes, although Li Jue has less than 20,000 troops, at this moment, he has firmly blocked the right wing of the coalition forces, which nominally has more than 80,000 soldiers, which is more than four times Li Jue's strength. The perfect guardian of Dong Zhuo's army
side safety.
Although it sounds incredible, in the final analysis, it is just that although the experienced Li Jue has few troops, he is united, while the inexperienced Cao Cao has many troops, but he has different orders and different ideas.
Although Cao Cao deployed his troops to the most advanced positions, with Tao Qian and Bao Xin beside him, it logically has a considerable impact on Li Jue's troops, but how can there be no other officialdom besides Cao Cao and Bao Xin?
The young people in the crowd rushed to kill with enthusiasm, but Tao Qian, who was the most important fighting force, had no intention of fighting for his life.
As mentioned before, Tao Qian can be said to be one of the few local leaders in the Han Dynasty who still respects the central government. Although he is a little more selfish, he is willing to pay taxes to the central government, even if it is
Shrunk taxes are considered valuable in a period like this. In fact, apart from him, only
The three states continued to pay various taxes to the central government for that year - Li Shushi's Bingzhou, Lu Zhi's Shuozhou and Liu Yu's Youzhou. There is no need to mention Liangzhou as Dong Zhuo's own territory, but based on Liangzhou's economic situation
Dong Zhuo couldn't collect much. Just like Shuozhou, Dong Zhuo's eyes only twitched when he looked at the small amount of money and food.
Of course, Youzhou and Xuzhou have similar practices. Although they pay taxes, they are also a reduced version, but this is enough to make Dong Zhuo "moved". It can be said that if Tao Qian had not led the troops to participate in the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance, perhaps Tao Qian
Now the position of the governor has been upgraded to that of the newly minted state pastor.
By the way, there was another person who also expressed his desire to pay taxes to the central government. This person was Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou who was appointed by Dong Zhuo.
Of course, Jingzhou's taxes could not go into Dong Zhuo's pockets. The reason was naturally that Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and blocked the road from Jingzhou to the capital, and Sun Jian's remnants inside were not stable. Therefore, Liu Biao was unable to do so.
.
As for whether it is true or false, only God knows and Liu Biao knows in his heart.
How could Tao Qian, who had bet on both sides, fight Dong Zhuojun for the sake of the coalition? Doesn't this mean that all his previous efforts have been wasted?
So despite the fact that Tao Qian's 30,000 men were the leaders of the right-wing troops in terms of numbers and strength, when fighting against Li Jue's troops they were basically just working as foreigners - Tao Qian's troops seemed to be fighting together.
In fact, half of Li Jue's attacks either missed or were easily blocked by the opponent, so light and effortless.
What's even more interesting is that the two sides fought in a tacit understanding for a while and then asked the frontline troops to retire and replace them with new ones to continue the confrontation. Tao Qian's side naturally had more people and strength and didn't care about this rotation. But for Li Jue's troops, it was difficult to fight with Tao Qian.
The battle of the army was completely divorced from the meaning of the battle, and instead became a time for recovery, and then the recovered soldiers were transferred to the forefront to deal with Cao Cao's army and Bao Xin's army.
If Tao Qian's actions were despicable, but the existence of this army effectively protected Cao Cao's flanks, then the troops of Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and Kong Rong were completely a hindrance.
Especially for Qiao Mao's troops, Li Jue only used two charges to bring Qiao Mao's troops to the edge of collapse, so that Bao Xin, who was beside Qiao Mao, had to devote part of his energy to protecting the opponent. Liu Dai and Kong
Although Rong's troops were not as miserable as Qiao Mao's army, they were nothing more than a failure at fifty steps and a hundred steps down - Kong Rong finally managed to win over Li due to Tao Qian's relationship.
Jue let him go, as long as the intensity of the war ensured that Kong Rong did not experience a counterattack. Liu Dai's troops had begun to show signs of retreating after Li Jue sent troops to attack five times. If Li Jue hadn't planned to use Liu Dai and Qiao Mao
If Cao Cao and Bao Xin were restrained, the troops of these two princes and even the heads of their generals might have been kicked by Li Jue.
Among the right-wing troops composed of six princes, one paddled and three were unable to hold back. Cao Cao now understood the difficulty of commanding a large army. At the same time, it also made him understand that in such a duel, the quality of the soldiers and generals is obviously more important than the number of people.
At the same time, a troop that can enforce orders and prohibitions is obviously more useful to one's side than a group of disobedient troops.
"It's a pity. If Dong Gong can give me another ten thousand people, I can completely eat these princes!"
Being able to say such words shows how much Li Jue despises his opponents.
Of course, Li Jue was just talking. Even if Dong Zhuo really gave him another 10,000 troops, Li Jue would never be able to defeat his opponent as he said. After all, for his own safety, Tao Qianjun would definitely
Li Jue is just trying to maintain a balance of power. If Tao Qian's army of 30,000 men becomes serious...
Therefore, Li Jue is actually very satisfied with the current situation. As long as this situation continues until Dong Zhuo defeats the central army of the coalition, he only needs to capture the heads of a few princes, and his status in Dong Zhuo's army will be obvious from now on.
Metaphorical.
But Li Jue was in a happy mood, which meant that Cao Cao was in an extremely bad mood at this time.
It's just that Cao Cao really can't figure out how to solve the current dilemma - although there is actually only one prince in the water, Tao Qian's troops account for nearly one-half of the entire right-wing corps, not to mention the other
Most of the soldiers of the princes are not as good as the soldiers of the Qingxu area, which has not been peaceful until now, let alone the three thousand Danyang soldiers in Tao Qian's army.
When Cao Cao took over the position of commander of the right-wing army from Yuan Shao, he obviously did not carefully consider the pros and cons, but was a little too eager like those birds that expose themselves for food.
It's not that Cao Cao didn't send people to Tao Qian to urge him, but firstly, Tao Qian was very senior, and secondly, his troops were also very strong. Cao Cao had absolutely no leverage to tempt the other party, and he didn't even dare to be too aggressive in his tone of voice.
force.
The situation is stronger than the person!
At this moment, Cao Cao's resentment towards Tao Qian was probably overwhelming.
However, it was precisely because of this that a fierce light suddenly flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
Perhaps only Li Shushi is worried about the look in Cao Cao's eyes now, because now only Li Shushi knows best that although this black-skinned dwarf is usually a very approachable guy who is a scribe or laughs and scolds, when this guy
When the cruelty and ruthlessness become real, there will be very few people in the Three Kingdoms who can defeat him.
Tao Qian, the "coward", is afraid that he is going to be unlucky.
