Chapter 31: Die before you start your career

"Send someone across the river!"

The spring breeze faced us, bringing with it some strange smells. Gongsun Xun looked at the other side of the river for a long time and suddenly gave an order.

Under the white horse flag, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"There are heavy troops stationed in Maojin on the opposite side," Lou Gui, as the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army Division, quickly advised. "It just so happened that Dong Zhuo also led his headquarters here, and the troops were even stronger, and our army didn't even have the ferry.

Crossing the river at this time may be in vain... Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Moreover, the road opposite is full of officials and Henan soldiers. Fighting at this time will inevitably hurt innocent people." Tian Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Right Army Division, also expressed his objection.

"Then we have to cross the river." Gongsun Xun still squinted at the other side without even looking back. "Of course I know that Maojin and Shaanxian cannot be easily captured, and I don't expect any results after crossing the river, but since I

At this point, it is no longer a matter of futility... First, when the two heroes meet, I will always be the first to show my determination to show my determination; second, across the way, the people of Henan are displaced and have been harassed by Dong Zhuo for a long time, so I must tell them,

I, Gongsun Xun, have arrived, right? Thirdly, if we can show a little determination, those Kansai soldiers might be able to restrain themselves."

Everyone woke up one after another.

"I'll stay here to attract the attention of Dong Zhuo and the soldiers and horses on the opposite side." Gongsun Xun continued to give instructions, as if he already had a clue. "Then send a small group of infantry to cross the river from the lower reaches and make a brief attack..."

"Of course it's feasible." Lou Gui responded immediately.

"It is indeed feasible!" Tian Feng also changed his opinion. "As I expected, there should be many fleeing Henan soldiers and people as well as ministers from the DPRK and China... We can also try our best to take care of them!"

Gongsun Xun nodded slowly.

Immediately, after some calculations, the Youzhou Army activated all the boats in Dayang City. About three to four thousand people took seventy or eighty boats and entered the river directly in front of Dong Zhuo.

Attention and vigilance, while in Henan, Dong Zhuo's army also hurriedly formed an array.

However, after these boats entered the river, they only stopped in the middle of the river. Instead, seven or eight of the boats rowed out alone, carrying military officers who were both articulate and loud. They crossed the warships and came directly to the south bank some distance away.

Only fifty or sixty steps away, he began to humiliate Dong Zhuo in front of him with a big shield!

This one shouted, "Whoever kills Dong Zhuo will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and a rank;" the other shouted, Dong Zhuo is an old friend of General Wei, and if his body is preserved, he will be rewarded with ten pieces of gold; another person scolded the generals of the Kansai Army in person, and said that if anyone acts as an aide to the tiger, General Wei will definitely not kill him when he crosses the river.

Rao Yunyun...

At this time, it seemed that the warships behind them seemed to be deliberately demonstrating.

Therefore, with Dong Zhuo's rage, Dong Zhuo's army in Henan did not care about a mere twenty or thirty small warships that seemed to be washed down by the river... until Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and Tian Yu led several local generals downstream.

They went ashore and set a fire outside the military camp in the east of Shaanxi County. After a while, they boarded the boat and left, continuing all the way east.

"The general made a mistake!" Zhang Ji hurriedly sent people to put out the fire, but at the same time he hurriedly kowtowed to Dong Zhuo to apologize. "Please punish me, Prime Minister."

"It's not your fault!" Dong Zhuo didn't even look at Zhang Ji. He just stared at the shouting military officials in the river and replied sternly. "There's no need to care... that person was so incompetent that they only followed this path, otherwise Gongsun Xun's

I have a bad temper, but if I had a three-point chance of victory, I would have crossed the river in person to attack!"

Zhang Ji was relieved for a moment.

"I won't be scolded here." Dong Zhuo suddenly waved his sleeves and said, "You can guard Maojin for the time being. When I enter Taolinsai to the west, I will give you military orders."

"Then... what should we do here?" Zhang Ji quickly asked again. "Please give instructions from the Prime Minister!"

"Just do what you have to do." Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly, but he waved to Cai Yong, gesturing for him to get in the car and leave with him. "You are also a Zhonglang general. A person who is used to soldiers, why do you need my teaching? Nothing more than that.

The main force is to defend Maojin Ferry and send cavalry to harass the enemy's infantry along the way... I don't believe it. If they attack across the river, how can they turn the world upside down?"

"Here!"

Zhang Ji quickly kowtowed, but when he raised his head again, Dong Zhuo had already left with Cai Yong in the car with a gloomy face. Dong Zhuo led his troops and many accompanying people also turned back.

"Uncle!" A young general next to him couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for a fight. "I think the Prime Minister is in a bad mood and is just pretending to be generous. Let's send troops quickly? I will personally lead a group of cavalry to drive those people away.

Go back to Hedong."

"Go!" Zhang Ji sighed, but couldn't help but warn him. "General Wei's soldiers are no better than those trash in Guandong, so be careful!"

This young general, Zhang Xiu, naturally agreed when he heard this... However, although he is young, he is also known as a brave man in the Kansai Army, so how can he really care? Besides, he is young and energetic, and is about to make meritorious deeds, so he is

He hurriedly led a dozen personal guards and a group of cavalry and headed eastward.

By the way, the cavalry is very fast, and although the Yellow River west of Hangu Pass does not have such a neat golden embankment of the Yellow River, it still has a large embankment, so Zhang Xiu still has an obvious reference to quickly march and pursue... As expected,

Over there, Dong Zhuo had just been assigned to Shaanxi County, and over here, Zhang Xiu had already found the small unit that was crossing the river to harass them.

There were two to three hundred people, mostly infantry, and because they were crossing the river by boat, they didn't bring any long soldiers at all. They just had swords for everyone, and some had extra shields, and some had bows.

However, when Zhang Xiu saw these people, he secretly lamented the bad luck... It turned out that this army had just picked up some fleeing Henan people, including officials, civilians, women, and children. They had already loaded several ships.

We are about to turn back! At this time, there are only a dozen people who haven’t had time to upload the case!

I originally thought that I could kill dozens of people and capture more than a hundred people before Dong Zhuo set off, as a small victory... But what kind of victory is a dozen people?

Of course, it was bad luck. The two armies were fighting. How could Zhang Xiu let go of these military exploits? So in anger, he clamped the horse's belly and led seven or eight guards forward together, actually preparing to fight on horseback.

You can kill these people next to a solid river beach and stone embankment without fear of hurting the horse's hoof or falling off directly!

Among them, Zhang Xiu and his most trusted subordinate Hu Che'er even spotted the Youzhou Army officers who looked like two officers on the case.

As for the group of Xiliang cavalry who followed, they were more mature after all. They knew that they would not get the credit for the battle, so they all dismounted and prepared to follow on foot.

The ones who were behind were Zhao Yun and Tian Yu. When they saw the "two commanders" of the Xiliang army not dismounting on the river beach, they actually dared to ride straight to get themselves. They were also very angry. How could they be afraid?

Zhao Yun met Hu Che'er, and Tian Yu met Zhang Xiu. They each drew their swords and faced each other with swords. The other soldiers on the shore did not show weakness and faced the incoming army with bare swords!

However, when these people on the shore were preparing to catch each other and fight, they forgot that there was also Taishi Ziyi in the river!

Taishi Ci could draw his bow, but he felt the boat was bumping, so he hurriedly fired an arrow and turned over into the water! But even so, he passed with an arrow. Although he missed the enemy general due to the bumps of the boat, he still hit Hu Che'er's side. The war horse caused the latter to be thrown off the painful mount on the spot!

How could Zhao Yun give the other party a chance? He just stepped forward and killed this man who was obviously of Hu origin under the river embankment and on the river beach with one knife!

On the other side, although Zhang Xiu was superb in martial arts, running a horse on the river beach was too much, and Kanda Yu was not a big deal, so he missed a hit and could only rein in his horse and turn around in a hurry, and then prepare to dismount and fight on foot!

But at this moment, Taishi Ci, who was wading in the shallows and standing in the shallows, did not hesitate. He shot an arrow from a distance, and shot Zhang Xiu's horse through the eye socket, killing Zhang Xiu with one blow... Zhang Xiu dismounted half of the horse. Suddenly he lost control and fell to the ground with both the man and the horse, half of his body was pinned down by the dead horse!

Without Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and the two surrounding Youzhou Army warriors arrived at the same time. The three of them held the Huanshou sword upside down. The so-called swords came down at random, and almost immediately stabbed his people into a hornet's nest!

Only the lack of troops and the presence of other Xiliang troops were not enough to continue fighting, so I didn't cut off the head of this 'Qu Chang'...

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, even Gongsun Xun did not know that the Xiliang generals in another time and space, and Xuanwei Hou, who had joined forces with Jia Wen and Cao Mengde to almost force Cao Mengde into despair, died in Shaanxi County like this. On the beach of the Yellow River! Not even a trace of brilliance is exposed.

Of course, this ‘King of Spears of the North’ was unlucky. Who would have thought that when he went out to intercept a group of harassing infantry, he would meet two of the top brave generals in the world?

And, this is war!

For those who are brave and fearless, noble and gorgeous, and full of talents, once they are defeated on the battlefield, their death will be ordinary.

Not to mention that Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Tian Yu and others killed Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er, and then led their troops to fight against the two hundred dismounted cavalry. They shot and killed dozens of them and forced the rest of the troops to retreat. After hard work, Dong Zhuo withdrew... On the other side, Dong Zhuo returned to the city of Shaanxi County, but he changed his previous indifference and ordered an immediate departure to force the ministers and people to leave westward quickly. Not only did he increase the intensity of the detention, the soldiers fought hand to hand. , if there is even the slightest disobedience, they will be directly beheaded regardless of their status.

For a time, no one dared to neglect, and could only head west in a hurry.

After all, although Dong Zhongying appeared calm before, when he suddenly met Gongsun Xun, and the other party was so decisive, he was still a little angry and nervous... If he wasn't worried that people's hearts would be upset because of this, why should he be in a hurry?

As for Cai Yong, who was accompanying him, he was already timid, and a war was indeed about to begin along Hedong, so he gave up the idea of ​​sending his daughter to Hedong, and instead gritted his teeth and stayed with his two daughters. With Dong Zhuo safely beside him, he continued on his way to Chang'an.

However, Dong Zhuo's move certainly suppressed the hearts of the people in Shaanxian and Maojin for a while, but as soon as the large army set off again, news came that the nephew of Zhonglang General Zhang Ji and the major general Zhang Xiu who was stationed here was defeated and died!

Although Zhang Xiu is young, his bravery is recognized as outstanding in the army. Moreover, he is the son of Zhang Jicong, which is unusual for the Shaanxi County garrison... Therefore, everyone in Dong Zhuo's army was frightened for a while.

, and the accompanying ministers, soldiers and people also had their hearts set again, so that many people once again thought of fleeing along the way.

It doesn't take much more.

Moving to Dayang, Hedong, although he learned that he had won a small victory and that Zhao Yun and others had rescued Sima Lang, Zhao Zi and their families, Gongsun Xun was still frowning.

"Dong Zhuo has a large army." Gongsun Xun was honest. "Moreover, his people have experienced wars for a long time, and his subordinates are many who are good at fighting... The reason why I dared to go to Bingzhou to this point is that there are no heroes in Bingzhou. Although the territory is vast,

The situation is turbulent and the road is difficult, but in the end it is easy to move forward with might and virtue along the way. Secondly, I feel that Dong Zhuo is gradually losing his support. When I confront him, his power will decline. In the current situation, the former has been fulfilled.

The latter is somewhat different... From Pujin to Taolinsai (Tongguan), and then to Maojin, the momentum of the troops and horses along the way is still very strong, and there is obviously no sign of weakening."

"Why should you feel sorry for yourself?!" Hearing this, Tian Feng was the first to squint his eyes to express his objection. "In my opinion, Dong Zhuo has already betrayed people's hearts... The reason why it has not been revealed is that he is violent and violent.

, everyone is under him and dare not take the lead! As long as the general makes a breakthrough, his power will inevitably decline quickly!"

"The question is, how can we achieve a breakthrough?" Xi Zhong asked suddenly. "How about concentrating our forces to capture Shaanxi County? Can it shake up the overall situation?"

"I'm afraid not!" Tian Feng shook his head and said. "The key is that the terrain in Guanzhong is too tight. As long as Pujin and Taolin Fortress are not lost, our army will not be able to enter Guanzhong. If it cannot enter Guanzhong, it will not be able to determine the situation.

! As for taking only Shaanxi County, don’t forget that Dong Zhuo still has heavy troops in Luoyang and Yingchuan, Henan. Once his troops return to defense, Dong Zhuo will send troops to Taolinsai to attack from both sides... What will happen?"

"What if I can eat all the tribes in Henan?" Gongsun Xun suddenly asked again. "Can it deter the situation in Guanzhong?"

Tian Feng was surprised for a moment, but he still suppressed his curiosity, and then shook his head with all his strength: "I thought that if the general doesn't enter Guanzhong in person, he won't be able to determine the overall situation!"

Gongsun Xun, Xi Zhong, and Lou Gui were silent, but in the end they were speechless.

On March 15th, Dong Zhuo passed Taolinsai and could not go to Chang'an to meet the emperor, so he issued military orders. Dong Min, the general on the left, guarded Chang'an; Wenhou Lu Bu guarded Taolinsai, and Jia Xu served as his deputy; Zhonglang generals Zhang Ji and Guo

Sihe guarded Pujin; Niu Fu was appointed as the Zhonglang general to guard Shaanxian County, and Zhijie was the commander-in-chief of the generals in Henan. Li Ru, a doctor of Biao, was appointed as the Zhonglang general to assist him; Hua Xiong, the Cavalry Governor, was the Zhonglang general and still guarded Hu.

Laoguan; with Xu Rong as the Zhonglang general, he still handles Yingchuan military affairs; with Li Meng as the captain, he goes to Xiaopingjin; with Li Jue as the Zhonglang general, he handles the Nanyang military affairs; with Duan Xuan as the Zhonglang general, he guards Luoyang

.

Obviously, Dong Zhuo divided his troops and territory into two, one half was Guanzhong, where he and his younger brother Dong Min personally sat in charge, and guarded the two important places of Pujin and Tongguan; the other half was east of Tongguan and the two areas in Shaanxi County.

The son-in-law is an important node. While assisting in the defense of Hongnong, he continues to maintain the offensive east of Hangu Pass and deal with the Henan military!

After learning this information, Gongsun Xun no longer hesitated. He knew that what Tian Feng said was absolutely right. If Gongsun Xun did not break into Guanzhong himself, it would be impossible to shake the situation in Guanzhong!

However, let’s not talk about how Pujin and Tongguan (also known as Taolinsai) can be captured easily? It is only said that Henan has Dong Zhuo’s heavy troops, and even wins successively. How can it easily cross the river and fall into the danger of being attacked by heavy troops?

It’s also hard to know where to start!

And while Gongsun Xun was collecting ships and thinking about strategies, in mid-March, Dong Zhuo's army was the first to launch an offensive!

After Jia Xu, Lu Bu, and Guo Si learned that they were going to withdraw to Guanzhong, they joined forces with Li Jue, Li Meng, Xu Rong and other troops to pretend to withdraw their troops, and then they set up an ambush at the junction of Yingchuan and Nanyang and defeated Sun Jian! Sun Wentai was completely defeated.

, out of ten thousand elites, only a thousand cavalry were left and fled in a hurry!

Speaking of which... the Kwantung Allied Forces have not won a single battle since the war with Dong Zhuo, even though Dong Zhuo was semi-forced to move the capital!

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei are all like this!

Of course, the performance of these troubled heroes is much better than that of another time and space... After all, in another time and space, this group of people waited until Dong Zhuo completed the move of the capital before finally starting to be beaten. This time they had been beaten for three months earlier.

Fighting! It’s considered a success!

————I forgot the dividing line between codes while watching the live broadcast————

"When Taizu arrived in the east of Hedong, Fengzhuo moved the capital, and drove millions of people to the west into Guanzhong. People's voices could be heard across the river. However, after more than a month, it was impossible to cross, and it was impossible to do anything." - "New Book of Yan", Vol.
