Chapter 132 Li Jin's showy operation! (16,000 words will be delivered, monthly pass.)
The big flag that read "Uncle Liu Huang, Governor of Sishui Pass" was rattling in the cold wind.
Under the banner, a general is wearing a helmet and holding an iron halberd across his hand. He is sitting astride a horse. He looks majestic and dignified!
Of course this person is not Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng's leg was injured and he was still resting in Bishui Pass at this time. He couldn't ride a horse or do strenuous exercise at all.
This man with a helmet on his head and an iron halberd in his hand is Li Jin and Li Jinxian, the general whom Liu Cheng forcibly bound and subdued.
Liu Cheng's original plan was to deliberately injure his leg as an excuse not to participate in the battle against the Kanto princes during this period.
But after some careful thinking, he still sent troops and horses, took his own general flag, pretended to be himself, and headed for Hulao Pass.
Together with Dong Yue at Hulao Pass, they suppressed the soldiers and horses guarding Hulao Pass.
Then it poses a major strategic threat to all Yuan Shao's troops attacking Luoyang.
The reason why Liu Cheng made such a change was because after some careful thinking, he found that he was really like this, and it was impossible to pretend to be an ostrich with the help of a leg injury.
Because after defeating Gongsun Zan, he gained great initiative here and occupied a great strategic advantage.
It's really unreasonable to just take advantage of a leg injury and stand still.
Dong Zhuo may not doubt his intentions because of this, but it will always greatly increase the risk of his true inner thoughts being exposed.
This is not cost-effective for Liu Cheng.
Of course, another reason is that Liu Cheng was worried that people like Yuan Shao were really hot-headed for a while and attacked Luoyang with all his strength, causing a head injury and bleeding, resulting in a huge loss of vitality.
Dong Zhuo, this guy, fought with great enthusiasm, but then he didn't play his cards according to history and stopped mentioning the matter of moving the capital...
If this is really the case, Liu Chengke would feel a little uncomfortable.
He sent troops at this time and sent Li Jin to take his general's flag and pretend to be him. Another important purpose was to drive Yuan Shao and these guys away from Luoyang as quickly as possible.
Let them preserve their troops and horses, quickly return to their base in Hanoi, continue to lead their troops and horses to confront Dong Zhuo, and put pressure on Dong Zhuo for a long time, telling Dong Zhuo not to stay in Luoyang too long, and to move the capital from here to Chang'an as soon as possible.
After all, people like Yuan Shao have not experienced too many battles, and they are still at the theoretical level when it comes to leading troops to fight, and do not have much practical experience.
The longer you stay in Luoyang, the more vulnerable you are to danger and the greater the risk.
It can be said that in order to allow people like Yuan Shao to retain more strength, Liu Cheng was really worried.
For fear of improper operation, these guys will suffer huge losses if they are not careful, which will lead Dong Zhuo to stop playing according to the historical routine.
Liu Cheng, who was still lame in one leg at Sishui Pass, could not help but sigh when he thought of these things.
It’s really hard for me!
…
Here at Hulao Pass, Li Jin, who was carrying General Liu Cheng's banner, and the chief general of Hulao Pass, did not receive the report until the next morning, saying that Zhang Miao's camp was empty, and the soldiers and horses had been left overnight.
, it suddenly disappeared completely!
Although Li Jin was a little surprised by this result, he was not too surprised.
Because before he led his troops here, his lord Liu Cheng had already analyzed the situation here and some possible situations for him.
The person who was really surprised was Dong Yue, the commander-in-chief of Hulao Pass.
After Li Jin brought the battle flag that had followed his master during this period of time and gained a great reputation, and led the troops and horses to come to support under the order of that master, Dong Yue was concerned about the development of the battle situation.
There are also some conjectures.
I feel like Zhang Miao won't be able to stay stuck here for long.
But no matter what he thought, he never expected that Zhang Miao would not even dare to fart, so he quietly ran away with his troops overnight!
"Take some people with you and go to Zhang Miao's camp and check carefully to see if Zhang Miao is really gone.
We need to conduct reconnaissance within a radius of ten miles around Zhang Miao's camp to see if these people are really gone, or if they are trying to deceive us and use this as a ploy to seduce us!"
Faced with Li Jin who came to ask if he should lead his troops to pursue Zhang Miao and others along the traces left on the ground when they left to see if he could gain some military exploits, Dong Yue thought for a while and still shook his head.
He shook his head.
Then he turned to look at one of his lieutenants beside him and gave this order.
"Zhang Miao is walking a little strangely, so it's better to be careful."
After Dong Yue finished his instructions, he looked at Li Jin and said.
When Li Jin came over, he received some instructions from Liu Cheng, so he didn't say much on this matter and nodded along with Dong Yue's wishes.
Then he immediately sent some soldiers and horses to inspect the camp left by Zhang Miao.
Soon, the result came again that stunned Dong Yue - there was no one in Zhang Miao's camp, and there was still a lot of food, grass and other supplies left behind!
While a little surprised, Dong Yue became more cautious.
More and more, I felt that this was Zhang Miao's trick, trying to lure his army over with a trick, and then attack them unexpectedly.
Li Jin, who was standing next to him, didn't agree with Dong Yue's views at all, but he didn't say much. He just pretended not to know anything and quietly watched Dong Yue's operations.
Of course, while waiting like this, Li Jin also made some other arrangements.
That is to say, some troops were sent out to Zhang Miao's camp to carry the grain and grass left by Zhang Miao.
Dong Yue complained a little about this and was worried that Li Jin would fall into a trap if he acted like this.
But remembering that Li Jin was a soldier belonging to Liu Cheng and that he came here to help him and others deal with Zhang Miao, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and remained silent.
After another half a day, those people sent out by Dong Yue to search came back and reported a piece of news that surprised Dong Yue.
Within a radius of ten miles, there was no trace of Zhang Miao and other soldiers and horses, and there was no ambush!
After a while, another cavalry galloped over, saying that they had found traces of Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses forty miles away.
There were so many people, it didn’t look like there was an ambush!
At this point, although Dong Yue was extremely disbelieving, he still had to admit that Zhang Miao had indeed led his troops to escape overnight!
He even ran away without a lot of food and grass!
What made Zhang Miao so scared that he didn't even want a lot of food and grass, and even ran away silently at night, without leaving even a trace of movement?
Is it because he is Dong Yue?
He, Dong Yue, was stationed at Hulao Pass and had a confrontation with Zhang Miao for several days, but he did not see any movement from this guy.
Is it because of Li Jin who has recently gained some fame by following Uncle Liu Huang?
No!
No!
None!
It's because of the flag of 'Uncle Liu Huang, Governor of Sishui Pass'!
Dong Yue's eyes fell on the flag fluttering in the wind, and he was a little distracted for a moment.
I remember that not a few months ago, when the other party kidnapped Niu Fu, he was still a nobody, just an unknown person.
He is a small character who is not taken seriously by himself at all.
The soldiers and horses he leads are also a group of soldiers and horses, but in fact they are more like bandits.
However, just how long has passed.
That little person at the beginning has become a real clan member of the Han Dynasty. He has been worshiped as a cavalry captain and has become the chief general of Sishui Pass, commanding all the soldiers and horses in Sishui Pass!
Able to directly command nearly 30,000 strong troops!
His military exploits are even more dazzling!
Killing generals and seizing the flag repeatedly, in a short period of time, he gained great prestige!
Make the enemy frightened by the news!
He is more intimidating than me, who has led troops for a long time!
He didn't even come, but with just a battle flag, Zhang Miao, who led nearly 20,000 troops, was so frightened that he fled overnight...
Thinking back on these things, even Dong Yue, who was related to Dong Zhuo and had some not-so-pleasant experiences with Liu Cheng, couldn't help but feel lost.
Amazed by it!
It's not that he hasn't seen the world, it's not that his endurance is not good, it's just that Liu Cheng has risen too fast, has too much stamina, is too strong, and his light is too dazzling!
It makes people feel heartbroken and surprised by it!
Li Jin, who was not far away, saw Dong Yue looking at his lord's battle flag. He was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face kept changing. He himself couldn't help but straighten his waist a lot.
As a person who has witnessed the rise of his lord with his own eyes, Li Jin can easily understand Dong Yue's mood at this time.
He did not speak, and woke up from deep thought. Dong Yue just stood here, accompanying Dong Yue, paying attention to his lord's battle flag.
After a long time like this, Dong Yue finally looked away from the battle flag, and then saw the deputy general who looked anxious and hesitated to speak.
Seeing his lieutenant like this, Dong Yue suddenly didn't understand.
Hasn't Zhang Miao already led his troops and left?
Could it be that things have changed again?
Zhang Miao did not leave with his troops, but as he had thought before, he left behind some extremely powerful back-up plan?
Thinking of this, Dong Yue couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately asked the deputy general what was going on.
The lieutenant seemed a little hesitant.
Looking at Li Jin standing not far away, and then at Zhang Miao's military camp not too far away, he gritted his teeth secretly, walked to Dong Yue's side, and spoke in a low voice.
What he said was very brief, but extremely thought-provoking.
"General Zhonglang, if you don't give the order, Zhang Miao will leave in a hurry, and the food and grass left behind will be carried away by those shameless people!"
When Dong Yue heard this, he was suddenly startled and quickly raised his eyes to look.
I don't know since when, there were actually a lot more people on Li Jin's side going to the empty camp left by Zhang Miao to carry things.
All the soldiers carried the food and grass left in Zhang Miao's camp with their hands and shoulders, and happily transported them to Li Jinli's camp.
Looking from a distance, there was already a huge pile piled up in Li Jin's camp!
Some of the soldiers led by Li Jin in Zhang Miao's camp have shifted their focus from food and grass to the good-quality tents left by Zhang Miao, and are starting to dismantle the tents there!
Looking at such a scene, Dong Yue was speechless for a moment.
He looked a little stiff and turned his head, focusing his gaze on Li Jin not far away.
Before he could speak, Li Jin spoke with concern: "General Zhonglang, quickly order some of your soldiers to carry things to Zhang Miao's camp! There are too many things, so we can only
We are embarrassed to carry it.
Although Zhonglang will bring great success to your family, he can't see it at all, and it's not something we, the bitter, mud-legged people, can compare to.
But if you don't want it at all and just give us everything, we won't feel sorry for you.
We are miserable, we are poor, but we are reasonable.
Things will happen as they should..."
Looking at Li Jin's sincere face and listening to the words this guy said, Dong Yue couldn't say a word for a moment.
It’s just that the chest is heaving a bit...
Before this, he had never thought that Li Jin and Li Jinxian, who looked bushy and big-eyed, actually had such a face!
Listen, what are these talking about?
Is this human talk?
…
Of course, Li Jin did not monopolize all the food and grass left by Zhang Miao.
He was born in the Cheng family and had been in the officialdom. Over the past few days, he had been deeply influenced by Liu Cheng, the lord whom he took the initiative to recognize, and he knew the disadvantages of living alone.
After both parties worked together to divide up what Zhang Miao had left, Li Jin asked some soldiers to take the lead and carry out a quarter of the grain and grass they had brought, in front of many Dong Yue's men.
The soldiers and horses were transported all the way to Dong Yue's military camp.
"...If it is according to my temper, Li Jin, I will definitely keep all of this food and grass today.
But if I do this, the emperor's uncle will definitely be angry and blame me.
Therefore, I transported these grains and grass over.
In this way, the food and grass left by Zhang Miao's rebels will be almost equally divided between us..."
Li Jin smiled and said loudly to Dong Yue and many of Dong Yue's soldiers present.
As soon as these words came out, he was attributing all the evil deeds to himself, which greatly improved Liu Cheng's reputation among Dong Yue and Dong Yue's soldiers.
Listening to what Li Jin said, Dong Yue was very angry for a moment and wanted to do something to Li Jin, but he couldn't.
Not only was Li Jin not under his command, but more importantly, behind Li Jin stood Liu Cheng, a rising star!
