Since Chenliu is the name of a county, it is also the name of a county, and it is also the name of a country. This is because the emperor Liu Xie was the king of Chenliu before he came to the throne.
Chenliu Kingdom is an important town in the west of Yanzhou, with ten cities under its jurisdiction. Its administrative seat is also named Chenliu. Since the Qin general Wang Ben broke through the chasm and flooded Daliang in the past, Chenliu City to the east of Daliang has become an important town in the Central Plains.
Historically, Cao Cao was granted the title of King of Wei. Part of the reason was because the place where Cao Cao raised his troops was in Chenliu, and Chenliu historically belonged to Wei.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the three armies of the pottery merchants are all gathered in this city at this moment.
Soon after, Dong Zhuo's army arrived at Chenliucheng.
As the saying goes, there is a raging army, a den of generals, and what kind of generals lead what kind of soldiers. The soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army are very Dong Zhuo's style. They are as bloodthirsty, arrogant and unreasonable as the old man.
After entering Chenliu's territory, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were not idle at all. Along the way, they burned and killed the people in Chenliu's territory, raped, plundered, and committed all sorts of crimes.
The reason why the population of the late Han Dynasty was lost in large numbers during the battle was not because the princes recruited troops to attack each other and lost a lot of people on the battlefield. It can be said that they were only a small number of people.
The key reason for the population loss in the late Han Dynasty was ultimately due to the fact that during the melee between the princes, it often affected the people in the counties and towns next to the battlefields during the war. Many princes allowed their soldiers to massacre and loot the city when they did not have enough food and pay to reward the three armies.
, instead of the princes, they used their own money to pay bonuses to the soldiers.
From ancient times to the present, what people in power have said in history, such as "loving the people like a child, making the country rich and strong," are all nonsense. In the eyes of those in power, they use the flesh of the people at the bottom to feed their own armies and satisfy their soldiers and generals.
It is the fastest and easiest way to meet our needs.
Therefore, the princes in the late Han Dynasty were actually very stupid. They wanted to raise their own troops, but they had to let other people buy them.
The essence of the biological world is a biological chain in which the big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the millet. The upper level meets the fundamental interests of the lower level. To be honest, it is just a brainwashing statement by those in power. Just listen to it and that's it. Don't do it.
really.
If it’s not really about hurting money, it’s really about hurting lives.
After Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers burned, killed and looted the areas around Chenliu, they rushed to Chenliu City to kill the generals.
If it were a field battle in the wilderness, the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army could be said to be invincible across the world.
At Cao Cao's persuasion, Yuan Shao gathered his troops and garrisoned them in Chenliu City. His purpose was to lure Dong Zhuo's troops deep into the country and delay the attack until Ma Teng's troops attacked Chang'an, leaving Dong Zhuo with no time to look west.
The three armies joined forces and strengthened their positions overnight to build defenses to resist the Xiliang army's attack.
In the battle of siege, Sun Wu, the military sage, had a saying of "ten siege", which means that if the ratio of troops reaches ten times, the enemy can be surrounded and annihilated.
And his descendant, Sun Bin, was even more brilliant than his ancestors, and put forward the five principles of encirclement.
Classmate Sun Bin was very happy with his theory that he was better than his predecessors. He was much more powerful than his ancestors. He could do what his ancestors could do ten times with five times the force.
Although the combined forces of Yuan Shao and the other three families were not as invincible and ferocious as the Xiliang army in terms of combat power, they were on the same level as the Xiliang army in terms of numbers.
But the problem is that Chenliucheng's city is not as tall and tall as Luoyang and Chang'an, and it is not as easy to defend.
In addition to the Xiliang Army, which was good at field warfare, Dong Zhuo's army also had the Luoyang Northern Army, which was unparalleled in its elite and extremely powerful attack force.
Therefore, in this state, the outcome of the two armies is basically a 50-50 split.
It depends on who has stronger willpower and endurance.
After Dong Zhuo arrived at Chenliu City, he did not stop, and immediately ordered the Xiliang army to prepare food at the fourth watch, raise troops at midnight, and attack Chenliu City with all his strength.
Dong Zhuo attacked the forefront of the army formation, with 10,000 large shield troops as the vanguard, covering the charging vehicle formation and the ladder formation, followed by the troops who ascended first, densely packed in layers, one after another without any gaps, and his troops and horses
The arrangement shows the veteran thief's sophistication and toughness after decades of fighting.
In the main formation of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo also hoarded a large amount of ordnance at the front line of the army. He could replenish ordnance to the front line at any time and at the fastest speed to extend the combat effectiveness for a long time.
In order to cooperate with the attacking army, Dong Zhuo also built many tall watchtowers, whose height could even be parallel to Chenliu's low city wall. Their function was to monitor the enemy's dispatch and defense movements in Chenliu City at any time.
Dong Zhuo was on the highest tower in the army, commanding the battle below.
The old thief's arrangements were very sophisticated, but he didn't know that there was an even more experienced soldier in Chen Liucheng's army who was extremely familiar with his tactics. He had already told Yuan Shao and others Dong Zhuo's most commonly used tactics.
Huangfu Song was a man who had conquered the kingdom with Dong Zhuo in the land of Xicui, and Huangfu Song had studied Dong Zhuo's tactics in his early years.
At this moment, Teacher Huangfu told Yuan, Cao and Tao everything he could about Dong Zhuo's tactics.
"Dong Zhuo used to attack fortresses in the past, and his shield soldiers were arranged and covered very tightly. When fighting against him, there is no need to shoot too many arrows in the early stage, save arrows, and when the front line is approaching, use kerosene to attack it..."
"Dong Zhuo always likes to attack in the east and west when setting up ladders. The old thief has little scruples about the lives of his soldiers. He usually pretends to use a large number of troops to concentrate in one place to attract the opponent's attention. When the opponent's soldiers transfer their combat power,
But they often place the ladders together and leave them nearby..."
"When fighting Dong Zhuo, you must not send cavalry out of the city to harass you. Dong Zhuo's army will always have a cavalry in the formation, and that cavalry is equipped with hooks and ropes. Once the suspension bridge is lowered in front of the old thief, it will
Opportunities that cannot be put away..."
"If Dong Zhuo fails to attack the city and withdraws his troops, it is a good way to paralyze the opponent. Usually after burning incense and the soldiers on the city are careless and in a trance, the old thief will suddenly come and organize a second attack.
attack."
"Dong Zhuo will also..."
"Dong Zhuo often..."
"Dong Zhuo likes the most..."
After hearing that Huangfu Song completely exposed Dong Zhuo, the pottery merchant couldn't help but sweat.
How deep is the teacher's hatred for Dong Zhuo? He has studied the old thief so thoroughly.
I'm afraid Dong Zhuo's biological father didn't understand him that well.
Dong Zhuo had taken off all his pants and was running naked in front of him with his naked buttocks.
This is true love...
After being informed by Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo's troops bombed Chenliucheng for days but failed to gain an inch of ground.
Every time Dong Zhuo thought he had an attack plan that was perfect in seconds, it was almost always deciphered by the three coalition forces.
At this moment, the Xiliang generals couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
No wonder Lu Bu was defeated by Yuan Shao and others several times in the previous series.
This Kwantung Allied Force is really extraordinary! Even Xiangguo personally commanded and supervised the battle, but he couldn't take any advantage from them!
Faced with this extremely embarrassing situation, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to convene a military meeting to discuss with his generals.
…
…
"Yuan Shao, this kid, he must have learned fortune telling, right?"
Dong Zhuo hesitated and guessed at the meeting: "How else could he calculate so accurately? Every arrangement I make is basically impossible to escape from his eyes...dog eyes...how did this guy do it?"
?”
None of the generals said a word, except Lu Bu who laughed secretly.
Deserve!...Deserve it!
Guys, now you all know how powerful it is, right? Let you all run against me that day.
Now let’s see how you should smooth things over!
Zhang Ji stood up and admonished Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, whether Yuan Shao himself knows fortune telling or he has hired a fortune teller as a military advisor, the only way to capture this city is to create wells made by Dazhao.
Carts and catapults were used to attack the city from a high position, and they were assisted by digging tunnels and using rams at each gate to storm the city."
If the pottery merchant were here and heard Zhang Ji's advice, he would have to give him a thumbs up and praise him:
What a grand gesture. Are you planning a three-party general attack by sea, land and air?
Dong Zhuo hesitated after hearing this and said: "This method is not impossible, but the question is, if we build a large number of well-mounted carriages, will there be some delays? ... It will take a long time to transport grain from Guanzhong."
Fan Chou stood up and said to Dong Zhuo: "The Prime Minister does not need to worry about this. The Prime Minister can send people to Chang'an in Guanzhong to urge grain, and at the end he will find a way to procure grain and grass from the surrounding counties. After this period of time, there will be no problem."
"
What Fan Chou said about requisitioning grain was just a show of words, the essence was still to plunder the people.
After Dong Zhuo thought about it for a long time, he saw that there was no other way to implement it, so he agreed.
In the next few days, Dong Zhuo's army no longer rushed to attack Chen Liu's city, and the two sides temporarily entered a relatively stable period.
But this period was actually fatal to Dong Zhuo.
Under the bright sun, Tao Shang and Guo Jia walked to the top of Chenliu's city and watched from a distance at Dong Zhuo's military camp in the distance, where a large number of well-mounted carriages were being built in full swing.
The pottery merchant couldn't help but clicked his tongue with emotion when he saw this.
"Dong Xiangguo is really a man who can endure hardships." The pottery merchant commented to Guo Jia: "Didn't you realize that every day of this month is an auspicious day? It is especially suitable for building wells and carriages."
Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "And it's suitable for burial and funeral."
Tao Shang counted the time on his fingers and said, "Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops have almost reached Chang'an, right?"
Guo Jia understood what the potter wanted to say, and immediately said: "Both Ma Teng and Han Sui are mainly composed of horse troops. The land of Yongliang is all plain and sandy. The army can march eastward along the Wei River without any obstacles.
, According to Guo's estimation, when the wells of the old thief Dong Zhuo are completed, it will be the time when the news of Ma and Han's attack on Chang'an reaches his military camp."
Tao Shang shook his head and said in a rather sad tone: "It's too cruel, isn't it pushing Dong Xiangguo to a dead end? What bastard is so cruel?"
Although Guo Jia didn't know what a bastard was, he didn't think it was a good thing to say.
"That's what you, bastard, did..." The prodigal son raised his hand and pointed at the pottery merchant, ruthlessly criticizing him.
Tao Shang sniffed and said, "Nonsense, it's clear that Yuan Shao has no feelings. What did he do to Tao?"
Guo Jia shrugged nonchalantly and suddenly said to Tao Shang: "After defeating Dong Zhuo this time, the land of Guanzhong will inevitably fall into division. The strongest power in the world will disappear. Next, there will be disputes among the princes. At this critical time,
Mr. Tao Fu, what do you think about the future?"
The pottery merchant scratched his head with a headache and said: "Let's take it one day at a time. What ideas can I have?"
Guo Jia raised a finger and shook it vigorously: "Eating and waiting to die is not what a wise leader should do. It is important to prepare for a rainy day. You have to think carefully about how to deal with these two allies around you.
