Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Xun You nodded: "Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Zhang Yang and others led the army to gather in Zhaojun, Jizhou. Now they have Yuan Shao as the leader and rise up against Dong. Originally, Yuan Shao wanted to suppress Hanoi, but Lu Bu defeated Wang Kuang and stationed in Yanzhou. So prestigious, Yuan Shao and others dared not go south, so they stationed heavily in Yecheng."

Liu Ye frowned: "In this way, once Dong Zhuoteng takes action, he will definitely change hands against our army. For public and private, our army should take action against Dong Zhuo. Order Zhangja to lead his troops to oppress Tongguan and prepare to attack the city."

Jia Xu suddenly smiled: "Tongguan is a natural danger, one man is the one who is the gate, and ten thousand is not open. In the past, the six countries could not break through Tongguan and attack Qin. Can the generals break through Tongguan?"

Liu Ye's expression sank. Tongguan is indeed a natural danger. According to the art of war, it is attacked by times and besieged by ten. In siege wars, the siege party often needs to pay several times more casualties to win a pass.

"Wen He has any suggestions?" Liu Ye said solemnly.

Jia Xu's eyes flashed: "Dong Thief's foundation lies in Bingzhou. Although Luoyang is rich and has the emperor, but the general has already established King Hongnong as the emperor, so Luoyang is not the heart of Dong Thief. "

"What does Wenhe mean?" Liu Ye seemed to understand something.

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said: "Tongguan pass is broken, and Hangu Pass is the barrier of Luoyang. Why bother to attack Tongguan?"

Jia Xu stood up and ordered the guards to pass a national sand table. Liu Ye's mansion always kept a sand table for civil and military generals to discuss relevant affairs.

"Shangjun and Hexi counties are located in the southern part of Binzhou, adjacent to Hedong County. Hedong County is the home of Dong Zhuofa and is also the northern side of Luoyang. The general can order a general to go to the north to merge the state, attack Shangjun and Hexi counties, and lead troops. Going south to frighten Luoyang, so Dong Zhuo must be horrified." Jia Xu pointed to the vast southern two counties of Bingzhou on the sand table and said.

Liu Ye nodded: "Pang De is brave, and Yu Jin is calm and strategic. You can use these two as generals to assist each other and lead 10,000 troops northward."

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu laughed after hearing Liu Ye's words: "Since this strategy can be concealed from the general, I think Dong Zhuo and Li Ru will also be fooled."

Xun You suddenly understood, and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe means..."

"Bing sent to Tongguan!"

Xunyou and Jia Xu shouted in unison.

Jia Xu's strategy is fickle. This strategy of attacking the west tried to figure out the enemy's psychology. Later in the Battle of Wancheng, Jia Xu used the strategy of attacking the west to induce Cao Jun to enter the city. Even Cao Cao suffered from Jia Xu's loss.

Liu Ye stood up and laughed loudly: "Well, in that case, you might as well make this tactic to make it bigger, the bigger the better."

Liu Ye recruited Pound into the mansion on the same day and granted the order face to face.

In March of the seventh year of Zhongping (190 years), Pound led five thousand troops to the north to merge the state, and attacked Shangjun and Hexi counties. However, Pound fanned out in Bingzhou, led the civilians, claimed thirty thousand, and played the banner of Liu Ye. It seems that Liu Ye personally conquered Bingzhou.

Luoyang city.

Dong Zhuo was very happy because of the victories of Xu Rong and Lu Bu's army, but he couldn't help frowning when he heard that Liu Ye sent troops.

"Wen You, Liu Ye personally led the troops, and the 30,000 army went straight to the merged state. Binzhou and Hedong are our foundations. The uninitiated Xu Rong and Lu Bu can't make a move. What should I do?" Dong Zhuo held a silk in his hand Paper, with a sad face.

If Liu Ye successfully navigated the two counties of Hexi and then joined forces with Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others, nearly one hundred thousand troops would be like Mount Tai and head straight for Hedong. Dong Zhuo would have a headache thinking about it.

Li Ru thought for a while and said, "The prime minister does not need to worry. Duan Yan is stationed in Hexi County and has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If the wall is clear, it will not be a problem to stop Liu Ye. The prime minister can recruit troops and horses near Luoyang, with Hu Zhen as the main general. Going north, confining Liu Ye to Hexi County, and waiting for General Xu Rong and Wen Hou to lead the army back, it will not be difficult to defeat Liu Ye."

Dong Zhuo nodded, convinced.

"There is one more thing, the prime minister must guard against it." Li Ru said with a gloomy expression.

Seeing Li Ru's solemn appearance, Dong Zhuo immediately asked: "What's the matter? Is it possible that there is still another enemy army rebelling against the court?"

Li Ru shook his head: "No, the left car rides Huangfusong, the right ride rides Zhu Jun. Both of these are famous generals, and they have great prestige in the Northern Army. Follow the instructions of the two. Especially Huangfusong, he and Liu Ye have real mentors and apprentices, and the relationship is very different. You need to beware of collusion between Huangfusong Zhu Jun and Liu Ye inside and outside."

As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against house thieves. Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo was convinced, and immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the residences of Huangfusong and Zhu Jun closely, and sent people to secretly monitor them to prevent them from colluding with Liu Ye.

Li Ru also suggested to Dong Zhuo that in order to increase the prestige of the imperial court, celebrities should be employed. Dong Zhuo almost recruited Cai Yong, the assistant minister who was demoted to Wu Jun’s leisure residence during the Ling Emperor’s remonstrance, to Luoyang. In January, he was promoted to three ranks. He received good treatment and rewarded silver. Many celebrities in the DPRK treated Dong Zhuo’s move. Quite a change.

Pound swaggered to Hexi County under the banner of Liu Ye. Duan Yan had long received Dong Zhuo's military order, ordering the military forces to shrink the city, strictly not to fight with Liu Ye, and severe punishments if the army was damaged, so Duan Yan did not dare to leave the city. Fighting with Pound fiercely, had to hide in the city.

On this day, Pound led an iron cavalry across Hexi County and captured a county seat.

"It's a pity! Can't send troops with the lord, come to this desolate place, Duan Yan is as timid as a mouse, and dare not send troops to fight with me, it is really boring." Pound sat in the account and hummed. Scream.

Sima Xu Lun, a military officer on the side, persuaded him: "The general slammed into the west. The general played the banner of the general and led the division all the way alone. This is the first achievement. Besides, general, you think about it. General Ma Teng is stationed in Wuwei and General Zhang Yun is stationed. Lantian, only General Yujin sent troops with the general. Compared with the two generals, Zhang and Ma, he was very lucky."

Pound sighed: "That's what it said, but it's a pity that I don't have enough troops in my side division, and Duan Yan shrinks in the city and can't come out, otherwise even Hedong will be defeated."

At this time, Tongguan.

Niu Fu was stationed at Tongguan. There was no enemy outside, so he was much cleaner. However, he missed Jia Xu a lot. When Jia Xu was around, he could ask anything. Now that Jia Xu is gone, Niu Fu wants to find someone to talk to. It didn't work. It would have been fun to bring a few beautiful concubines, but the shrew at home was not allowed, but the old man, Dong Zhuo, loved her so much, Niu Fu had to swallow the breath.
