Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms, God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 16, The Beginning of the Battle (Part 2)
Xingyang has a chasm connecting the Huaihe River and Sishui to the east, Mang Mountain to the north and the Yellow River, Suohe Mountain to the south and Songshan Mountain, and Hulao Pass to the west to Luoyang and Chang'an. It has a dangerous terrain and convenient transportation, and has historically been an important place for county governance.
In 221 BC, after Qin Shihuang unified the country and established the Qin Dynasty, he established Sanchuan County in Xingyang, which governed Xingyang, Gong, Jing and other counties. In the Western Han Dynasty, Sanchuan County was changed to Henan County, which governed Xingyang and Chenggao (today's Xingyang Sishui Town).
), Gu City (now northwest of Zhengzhou), Mi County, Zhongmu, Xinzheng, Yuanling and other counties.
Now at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xingyang's position is no less important than before, and it is also a must-win for military strategists.
The generals guarding Dong Zhuo's army in Xingyang are Dong Zhuo's Xiliang veterans, Yingyang school captain (added after Dong Zhuo was the prime minister) Yang Feng and Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang, and Xu Huang, who was entangled by Lu Bu once, is currently in Yang Feng
He was appointed Army Sima under his command.
The garrison was headed by Yang Feng, and Dong Huang was the supervisor. In fact, Dong Zhuo was really interested in his nephew. He promoted him and promoted him in many ways. Letting him follow Yang Feng also meant to gain experience.
But it's not all pampering.
Dong Huang may not be very ambitious, but at least he won't worry Dong Zhuo like Dong Min did, and he can be considered peaceful under Yang Feng's hands.
However, after hearing that the so-called 500,000-strong army of the Dongdong Alliance Army set out from Chenliu, passed through Kaifeng, Zhongmou, Guancheng and Jingxian, and was approaching Xingyang, he couldn't help but be scared to death and ran over.
Find Yang Feng.
Yang Feng looked very calm, as steady as sitting on a Diaoyutai, which made Dong Huang feel a little admired. He was secretly ashamed in his heart. He was really too unstable. He would be in a hurry when something happened. Look at General Yang Feng.
This is the true style of a general.
After taking a sip of the wine Yang Feng ordered to moisten his throat, Dong Huang said: "General Yang, the coalition forces over there are about to attack. What should we do and how should we prepare?"
"Why should I prepare?" Yang Feng's question made Dong Huang stunned, and he subconsciously replied: "The enemy's army is pressing on the border, and they are likely to violently attack the city. If we don't prepare in advance, how can we face the enemy?"
Yang Feng did not answer Dong Huang's question, but instead asked: "What does Marquis Dong Ting think of the defense of Xingyang City?"
Dong Huang was also one of Dong Zhuo's relatives who was granted the title of Marquis. Although he was only a Tinghou, he was still young after all, and he still had great prospects for development in the future. Of course, the premise was that his uncle Dong Zhuo could continue to control power like this.
And Dong Huang's position as supervisor of the army was fictitious. He didn't understand anything, and he couldn't put on any airs in front of Dong Zhuo's veteran general Yang Feng, so Yang Feng usually only called him Tinghou.
But it’s also very enjoyable.
After listening to Yang Feng's words, Dong Huang didn't understand what he meant, but he replied: "Xingyang has rich ordnance reserves, sufficient supplies, and its soldiers are sharp..."
Yang Feng continued: "...The morale is high. Our Xiliang army is the best in the world. Who are we afraid of coming? It doesn't matter if the coalition forces don't come. If they come, they must try to chew hard bones!"
Dong Huang was still a little stunned and didn't seem to react too much. Yang Feng didn't mind either, but smiled and said: "So, Marquis Dong Ting does not need to panic, even if his coalition forces have only half a million, they will never be able to break through Xingyang!
"
"However, the prime minister has a mandate. This time, we will all obey the orders of the military advisor. The military advisor did not ask us to..." The military advisor Dong Huang mentioned was Li Ru. This time, Li Ru paid tribute to the military advisor and supervised the army. He was coming to the front line.
And he had already sent a message to them to guard Xingyang City. In fact, maybe he had already anticipated certain things, so he simply did not take any unnecessary measures.
"The general will not accept your order..." Yang Feng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said with a smile: "Not to mention a military advisor?"
Seeing that Yang Feng was so brave, Dong Huang didn't know what to say, so he could only forcefully smile and nod in agreement. He just rolled his eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking...
At the same time, the coalition forces were also worried about the problem in Xingyang.
However, unlike the Xingyang defenders, the Xingyang defenders focused on defense, while they considered how to attack.
The walls of Xingyang City are high and thick, and the surrounding terrain is quite complex. To put it simply, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is not good news for the coalition forces.
The coalition's morale is now strong and it seems unstoppable. However, only they know that while marching like this puts great pressure on their opponents, it also creates big problems for themselves. The longer they march, the longer their supply lines will be.
, the greater the burden on logistics, and the food for the coalition forces cannot be solved by Chen Liu and Zhang Miao alone. Even if he really has the idea, he does not have the strength, and he has come all the way to Guancheng and Jingxian.
They don't have much food in stock. It's still spring, and it's the time to sow. Excessive food requisition will also be a huge test for the people's hearts. And the Allied forces, who are under the banner of justice on the side of the Qing Dynasty, have to take this into consideration. After all, if they are defeated
Dong Zhuo, then these places in the past are likely to belong to one of them in the future. As for the emperor-sorry, let’s wait until we enter Luoyang to think about his little family.
That is to say, because of these and other problems, a new problem has been brought to the princes in front of Xingyang City. There is not enough food. There is definitely food in Xingyang City. The problem is that it is still in the hands of the enemy.
The solution is to capture Xingyang as soon as possible. In addition to solving the food problem, of course we must maintain the current vigor of our own army and not lose it, otherwise it will cause new troubles.
Just as the premise of all this, conquering Xingyang City is not a simple matter. Let alone whether it can be conquered, how much price will be paid, and who will bear it? Even after it is conquered, if it cannot be conquered,
The defenders inside took away even
If they grab the food before burning it, then even if Xingyang City is captured, it will only be regarded as an empty city in the real sense. Not to mention supplying their military rations, it will be enough for the livelihood of other people in Xingyang City.
They have a headache.
So when Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, raised the tent to summon everyone to discuss the military situation, and then asked about the attack on Xingyang City, there was a rare silence in the tent, and the princes did not know what to say.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others in turn. Some of them had expressionless faces, some had serious expressions and were deep in thought, some were crying and laughing, and some were extremely relaxed. In short, they all had their own characteristics.
Each has his or her own expression and mood.
Yuan Shao suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "If you guys can't imagine it, then Shao has grabbed this jackpot. To be honest, Shao had already arranged an internal response in Xingyang City. This internal response was actually left by Shao's uncle.
It's a pity that he..." As he spoke, his words could not help but be a little sentimental. Everyone knew what happened in the Yuan Mansion, and of course Dong Zhuo
The news released to the outside world was that the Yuan Mansion was plotting to rebel and to kill his family out of fear that the Dongchuang Incident would happen. Although this was false, it sounded to the ears of the princes as a way for Dong Zhuo to whitewash peace, and it also came from another source.
On the one hand, the Yuan family's status in the hearts of the loyalists has skyrocketed, which can be described as an "unexpected surprise" to Yuan Shao and others.
At this moment, the commander's tent was moved, and one of Yuan Shao's soldiers quickly came in. After the report, he walked up to him with Yuan Shao's permission, and whispered in his ear this or that.
After he finished speaking, Yuan Shao sighed with his palms, and then laughed loudly to everyone sitting down: "Okay, the spy in the city has just sent the news, everything is ready, let's wait to break Xingyang and advance all the way to Luoyang...
"
As he spoke, he stood up, held his chest high, and pointed his sword to the west with great energy. He shouted: "At dawn, the city will be broken!"
"At dawn, when the city is broken..."
Seeing Yuan Shao being so heroic, even though he still didn't understand the specific situation, the princes and soldiers naturally became excited. Seeing everyone's emotions being mobilized by him, Yuan Shao smiled knowingly, and there was a look in the corner of his eyes, but he was strangely uncomfortable.
