Chapter 537 Take the initiative to attack

Dong Hu didn't know that a group of bastards actually targeted his money shop. Diao Chan, who had never been seen, suddenly appeared, and didn't know that Dong Zhuo wanted to strengthen his control over him...

The two are thousands of miles apart, and it takes ten days to pass messages to each other. Even if he receives Sanya's message, he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to it at this time.

The princes frequently exchanged messengers, but no one was the first to cross the border. It seemed that they were waiting for the best opportunity. Just when Dong Hu suspected that they had insufficient food and supplies, Sun Jian took the lead in crossing the border and entered Xinzheng County from Changshe County, Yingchuan County. At the same time, the prefect of Yingchuan County, Li Min, crossed the border from Yushi to Yuanling County. Zhu Jun led a 50,000 army into the original Wucheng. The last person who set off was Yuan Shao. He personally led a 150,000 army across the border and entered Kaifeng. The only thing that had no movement was the 10,000 Jizhou army that threatened Hulao Pass.

Sun Jian and Li Min should have been affiliated with the Luoyang South Front Battlefield. When they appeared on the Luoyang East Front Battlefield, Dong Hu noticed the danger and slowly retreated towards Xingyang while mobilizing more donkeys, mules and horses. At the same time, he issued a military order to Dong Fu, Dong Fang, and Dong Gu, the leader of the "front and back left" camp, and 15,000 cavalry crossed Dagu Pass at any time and launched an attack on Nanyang County and Yingchuan County at any time.

The people evacuated again. Whether it was the honest people or not, for greater security, all the people had to retreat again, leaving only 10,000 or 20,000 prisoners to defend Xingyang and Hulao Pass.

Dong Hu was a little arrogant. He did not expect that all the princes would actually draw troops on the southern front. Unexpectedly, Zhang He and Gao Lan also directly threatened the rear of Hulao Pass from the northern front.

It is not scary to have more than 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front alone, especially the more than 100,000 troops shrinking into a group. But when all the 250,000 troops on the third line of "North, East, and South" used to deal with Dong Zhuo were used on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, he had to pay attention.

The detour spaces in the counties east of Hulao Pass are too small, and there are not enough elite cavalry to use. Just like a tiger in a forest is locked in a small cage that is difficult to turn around. Even if the claws are sharp, they can still be beaten to death with a stick. In order to avoid a cowardly death, the tiger must try every means to jump out of the cage.

On the fifth day of the April 1998, Daya sent him 30,000 tombs, mules, horses and a large number of arrows. After only five days, the messenger sent the news of Sun Jian's crossing the border...

The generals were wearing helmets and armor, all pressing their swords solemnly, and silently looking at the backs in the middle of the hall...

"Wenyuan, have the gates of each county burned clean?"

Dong Hu suddenly spoke, Zhang Liao stepped forward and clasped his fists at the tall back standing in front of the map.

"Return to the lord, all the gates of each county have been destroyed, including destroying the suspension bridge and filling the moat in front of the city gate. Our army can launch a strong attack on all counties in the territory at any time to regain the city occupied by the thieves."

Dong Hu nodded silently, but his eyes were fixed on the hanging map.

"How many days did the Three Cavalry Camps of 'Forward and Back Left' leave Luoyang?"

The chief envoy Dong Ming stepped forward and looked down at the folder...

"Luoyang left on the seventh day of the April 19th, Luoyang is fifty miles away from Dagu Pass, Dagu Pass is fifty miles away from Xincheng, New City is seventy miles away from Liang County, and New City is one hundred and seventy miles away from Yangcheng, Yingchuan County."

"According to the speed of our army's march, General Dong Gu will enter Liang County at the latest on the tenth of April and Nanyang County at the latest on the twelfth."

"Dong Fu, General Dong Fang can enter Yangcheng on April 13th."

Dong Hu nodded secretly. Dong Gu was similar to Liu Qi stationed in the grasslands of the northern desert. They were both generals who were very good at raiding, so it was most suitable for him to attack Nanyang County alone.

From Dagu Pass along the Yishui River to Xincheng County, it is a fork. From Xincheng County to the east, there are two mountain ranges of Songshan and Jishan. Xincheng can enter Yingchuan County through a huge gap between the two mountains. It can be said that a horse is flat and does not need to pass through the "one man is the pass and ten thousand men cannot open", which is very suitable for large-scale cavalry attacks.

From Xincheng to the southeast, along the plain between Jishan and Fangwai Mountains, that is, from Xincheng to Liang County, and along the Rushuiyuan, you can directly enter Nanyang County with a flat horse.

This battle is not about robbing territory, and there is no need to force the attack on cities. It is just to shock all the princes. The roads they walk on are mainly safer plains and try to avoid walking around mountains and forests that are prone to ambush.

Dong Gu didn't need to ask, and he would do whatever he wanted in Nanyang County. After a while, he would either continue to make trouble in Runan County or to Yingchuan County. As long as he could get food and drink, he would do whatever he wanted. However, Dong Fu and Dong Fang needed to cooperate with Dong Hu, and needed to break into Yingchuan County from more than ten miles between Songshan and Jishan, and to the back of Sun Jian and Li Min.

Listening to the words of the Longman Dong Ming, Dong Hu secretly calculated the time required for both parties...

“Gao Shun.”

The zombie face raised his strode forward.

"Gao Shun is here."

Dong Hu turned around and looked at Gao Shun wearing a dress, and said with a blank expression: "Brother Bian stays by your side, and all the prisoners will be handed over to you. If Bian fails, we will chop your head!"

"No!" Gao Shun clasped his fists heavily.

Dong Hu looked at Sun Niu and Hu San again.

"Are you two ready?"

"Don't worry, lord, we can go into battle and kill the enemy at any time!"

Dong Hu looked at everyone solemnly.

"A quarter of an hour later, Pojun Camp, Shanzi Camp, Youjun Cavalry Camp, Heavy Armor Cavalry Camp, and Right Army Cavalry Camp all went out to fight to face the enemy. Let's see if their broken net is solid enough!"

"promise!"

The generals sang loudly.

Finally, everyone was going to fight. Everyone was energetic and walked out of the hall with big strides. Dong Hu also sorted out his lower armor and was about to make the final preparations...

"Big...Big brother..."

Dong Hu turned around and saw that Liu Bian had a little nervous face and was worried, so he waved to him...

"The Luoyang messenger said, "Your mother, your sister is a little worried about your safety. She has come to Luoyang from Hedong County... If you are really scared, you can go now. Gao Daizi has 10,000 or 20,000 surrendered soldiers in his hands. With his ability, he should be able to defend it. There are 5,000 Li Meng's troops at Hulao Pass, so there will be no problem."

After hearing such words, Tang Zhao couldn't help but pull down Liu Bian's collar, which made him, who was less courageous, even more nervous.

"You don't have to worry about us, just make the decision you want to make."

After saying that, Dong Hu stepped out of the hall and decided to leave it to Liu Bian himself. If you stay, Xingyang City would be as stable as Mount Tai. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's biggest reason for rebellion was that Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor. When Liu Bian, the deposed emperor, stood in front of all the prisoners, even though the prisoners were a little hesitant, after seeing the miserable tragedy of the prisoners, all the hesitation was gone.

But no matter what, the time for captives was still shorter. Without Liu Bian's psychological support, no one could guarantee whether the captives would turn against each other in an instant.

Whether Liu Bian is present or not in Xingyang City is stable, and as for whether the prisoners were captured by various princes... he would not care. As long as the main force was not severely damaged, he could capture people again.

Thirty-five thousand soldiers, either on Xiliang horses or on strange donkey mules, accompanied by thousands of carriages dragged by donkey mules. After everyone was ready, Gao Zhi rushed towards Sun Jian, who was the first to emerge. When Dong Hu got into the carriage, he was still thinking about whether there would be any "Battle of Liangdong" in the future. He thought that Xu Rong did not wipe out Sun Jian, did not cook Li Min alive, and did not slaughter all the prisoners. If Dong Zhuo felt regretful, but how could he have thought that the eldest son Dong Mao was coming towards Luoyang with 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses.

The war was about to begin. When Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others crossed the border to the city of Kaifeng, they saw the ruined city gate and saw the mess in the city, their faces were filled with emotion. Even Liu Sheng secretly lamented Dong Zhuo's cruelty, which turned a good city into such a disaster.

Everyone was sighing and scolding the Dong family's uncle and nephew for being cruel and insincere, but Zhang Yi's pupils contracted and his mind was nervous, but no one paid attention to the strangeness of a small person.

No one cares about a general who was born in Quhou, and even the general who suddenly became a general from a civilian, they were extremely proud to ignore it.

But Liu Sheng was different. At the beginning, he did not notice the taciturn generals of his subordinates. When everyone left, Liu Sheng grabbed Zhang Yi's arm with a nervous look on his face.

"Is the tiger baby going to kill him?"

Listening to Liu Sheng's words of concern and a little expectation, Zhang Yi was silent for a little while and looked back at the direction of the city gate...

"When the last general came, the city gate was intact, but today it became like this. If the city gate was destroyed, it was nothing. Why did you fill the moat in front of the city gate? What would the prince do if he faced a siege of 200,000 to 300,000 troops?"

"Bang!"

Liu Sheng suddenly hit his hands.

"Huwa must have wanted to come and beat us. He was afraid that we would hide in the city and not come out, so he destroyed the city gate and filled the moat!"

After saying the words, Liu Sheng didn't know what to do...

"Since Huwa destroyed the city gate, he must be confident of defeating us, but... but what should we do? Should we rebel in the face of war..."

"No!"

Zhang Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, please think, let's follow Yuan Shao to attack the Prime Minister Dong. If you and I take the opportunity to rebel, how do the scholars in the world think of us?"

Liu Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "How can we not know these things? But if we go against Huwa... that's not right!"

Zhang Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's not do anything. There are many Yellow Turban Army in the Huwa Army. When the two armies are fighting, if the brothers are defeated and surrender... it is normal for us to be caught by Huwa."

"catch?"

Liu Sheng was stunned and then understood again.

"Yes, you're right. When Huwa caught Yan Xing's father, didn't the hangover old man become the governor of Liangzhou?"

"Zhang Yi, you are right. From now on, we will drink and hangover all day long... Oh, by the way, you will go to invite Yuan Tan in a while and say we will invite him to drink!"

Zhang Yi opened his mouth slightly and finally punched him again.

"promise."
