The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms
Vol 8 Chapter 97: Jia Wenhe makes a plan to keep the show
Li Jue returned without success and returned to the Luoyang camp to meet Dong Zhuo. ⊙,
After listening to Li Jue's retelling of Xunzhen and Sun Jian's replies, Dong Zhuo laughed.
Everyone in the tent was confused, and they didn't know why Dong Zhuo laughed.
Therefore, someone asked: "Xiangguo is tolerant and kind, and does not take Xun and Sun's rebellion as a crime, but treats them kindly, but Xun and Sun's two thieves actually refuse. Xun and Sun's two thieves are so ignorant of good and evil, it is really hateful! Xiangguo! Why are you laughing?"
Looking at the crowd, Dong Zhuo rubbed his stomach, and said, "I had expected this ending for a long time," and said, "I have known Xun Zhen and Sun Jian for a long time. , I have met Sun Jian, and I am very familiar with the nature of the two of them! I already knew that both of them were stubborn, so I had long expected that the two of them would not accept my request for peace. "
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, the person who asked the question asked again, "Since Xiangguo expected that the two of them would not accept Xiangguo's request for peace, why did Xiangguo send Li Jue to find them for peace?"
"Since the two thieves Xun and Sun came out of Yingchuan, they have fought many times and won many battles, so I sent Li Jue to negotiate peace with them. This is a sign of weakness!"
Everyone in the tent was stunned, and said in unison: "This is a plan of arrogant soldiers! I can't wait for the gods of the prime minister." They all bowed.
Yang Ding asked: "Since the two thieves Xun and Sun have rejected the Prime Minister, they will soon attack Luoyang. I wonder what the Prime Minister wants to do to retreat from the enemy?"
Dong Zhuo said confidently, "I have a plan! You should all retreat to the camp and prepare. I will have an order later."
Everyone in the tent agreed, got up separately, and went out of the tent to return to the camp.
All those with troops left, and all that remained were civil servants without troops.
Dong Zhuo ordered other civil servants to retire, leaving only Jia Xu and Li Ru.
Li Ru thought that Dong Zhuo really had a "decision policy", and asked stupidly, "I don't know what the prime minister's policy is? Confucianism would like to hear the details."
Dong Zhuo saw that there were no outsiders in the tent, got up and paced around the tent, circled the tent a few times, sighed, and said, "Where do I have a plan!"
Li Ru was stunned, froze for a while, and asked, "Since the Prime Minister has no set policy, why was it just now?"
"When Taigu is lost, the Luoyang cave opens. From Taigu to Luoyang, there will be no obstacles on the way. Xun and Sun Liansheng's soldiers, and Yuan Shao is watching over Hanoi. I am afraid that the morale of the army will be low, so what I just said is just to stabilize the morale of the army. ."
Only then did Li Ru understand Dong Zhuo's thoughts.
While Li Ru and Dong Zhuo were talking, Jia Xu sat on the side without saying a word.
Dong Zhuo turned to Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, you must have seen that I was bluffing just now, right?"
Jia Xu said: "In any battle, if you are depressed, you will be defeated. The prime minister just used a lie to stabilize the military's heart. He is so quick and wise that Xu cannot match it."
Dong Zhuo said, "Don't say these things are useless at this time! Wen He, what plan do you have to retreat the enemy for me?"
"Xiangguo said to the generals just now: To send Li Jue to make peace with Xun and Sun is to 'show weakness'. I think that what Xiangguo said is very true."
"Oh?"
"Xun and Sun Liansheng's army has been invited by the prime minister to discuss peace. If you think about it, it should be arrogant and arrogant. In a battle, you will lose your anger, and so will arrogant soldiers. Our army is no longer worried about depression, but on the other hand, Xun and Sun have become arrogant soldiers. . . . It may not be easy to beat the two of them, but it is not difficult."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and asked, "Wenhe must have a plan, please hear it!"
"Once you pass Taigu, there are no dangers around Luoyang, there are many plains, and there is no support. In my opinion, it seems that the surrounding plains should not be selected as the battlefield."
Dong Zhuo asked suspiciously, "Wen He wants me to defend the city?"
"The city cannot be defended either."
Because of Dong Zhuo's destruction, Luoyang City was burned to the ground, and there were no residents in the city for a long time, so let's not talk about the issue of supplies, such an empty city that was burned down must not be able to be defended.
Dong Zhuo asked, "Wenhe, what do you mean?"
"There are many plains around Luoyang, and there are many gardens and tombs in the suburbs. I think that the prime minister can choose these places as the battlefield to meet the enemy."
Luoyang is the capital city, surrounded by many royal gardens, as well as the tombs of many emperors who have died since Guangwu. These places have water, forests, and mountains, which can be used for reliance.
Li Ru said: "Yuanlin is nothing but the mausoleum as the battlefield? This..."
These mausoleums are the tombs of the past emperors since this dynasty. There is a saying that "it is safe to enter the earth". As a minister of the Han Dynasty, it is very unreasonable to choose the tombs of the previous emperors as battlefields.
How could Dong Zhuo take care of this at this time? Immediately he praised Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe's plan is very good! Well, I will send orders to the army, and order all the ministries to pull out their camps and select the mausoleum as a basis for Xun and Sun."
…
It was the next morning when Li Jue returned to the Luoyang camp. According to what Xun Zhen and Sun Jian had negotiated the day before, the two of them led the troops out of the customs and entered Luoyang the next day.
Taigu was more than 100 miles away from Luoyang, and after a long march that day, at night, it was still more than 30 miles away from Luoyang.
Just as Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were about to send orders to station their troops, they went to the Malayan front to report that Dong Bing had left the camp and went to various gardens and tombs to guard them.
Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia and others were all around Xun Zhen.
Hearing this report, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia and the others were just fine, Xun Yu suddenly became furious and said angrily: "You have entered the tombs of the former emperors! !"
Sun Jian was also quite indignant, and said to Xun Zhen, "I knew Dong Zhuo was a jackal, but I didn't know that he was so rebellious!"
With Wu Jing on the side, he said, "It's less than forty miles away from Luoyang, and after a night of rest, we will start tomorrow morning, and we will be able to fight this rebellious thief in the afternoon!"
Xi Zhicai hurriedly said, "No!"
Sun Jian and Xun Zhen turned to look at him, and Xun Zhen asked, "What does it mean to be talented? Why not?"
"Dong Bing went out of the camp and entered the Yuanlin and the tombs of the late emperors. Such disobedience shows that Dong Zhuo has no master of the six gods, and has no good strategy against our army. If the master is like this, then Dong Bing's captains and soldiers do not need to be. Said, it must be even more demoralizing. At this time, the gallop is still too scared, how can you wait another night and leave it for tomorrow?"
Xun Zhen asked Sun Jian, "How does Wentai feel?"
Sun Jian patted his thigh and said, "If you are not Zhicai, you will miss a big deal!"
Xun Zhen and Sun Jian both agreed and agreed with Xi Zhicai's analysis, because instead of giving orders to the three armies to rest and recuperate, they urgently ordered all the troops to wait for dinner and rest for a while before continuing to march at night. Arrive outside Luoyang by tomorrow morning.
The speed of marching at night was definitely not as fast as during the day, especially when Xun Zhen and Sun Jian had a total of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian each kept a soldier, guarding the baggage and walking slowly behind, bringing their own. The main force went on a starry night after a short rest.
When it was almost dawn, after walking the remaining thirty or so miles, Luoyang was in sight.
At this time, Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other generals in Sun Jian's army and Xun Cheng, Xu Zhong, Xin Ai and other generals in Xun Zhen's army all came to find Sun Jian and Xun Zhen, and asked the troops to rest for a while. Son.
This is a very normal request.
Luoyang is just ahead, and it may soon be at war with the enemy. The troops marched continuously for a day and a night. Before the battle, it is normal for the troops to rest and nourish their energy and stamina.
Xun Zhen disagreed. He said, "The reason why I galloped with Sun Hou Chengye at night is to attack Dong Bing's anger, and also to cover up his unpreparedness. Now that we have arrived in Luoyang, how can we stop?" He said to Sun Jian. , "According to the scout report, Dong Zhuo divided his generals and lived in the tombs and gardens, and the elites lived among them. "When shooting people, shoot horses first, and capture thieves first. Capture the king." Quickly attack Dong Zhuo's residence, and the rest of the group will fight against Dong Zhuo's generals, if they rush to help Dong Zhuo, they will attack them; if they do not help, they will fight together after Dong Zhuo is defeated!
Sun Jian agreed and said, "Just do what you say!"
At the moment, the two selected 3,000 elites each, divided into above/general and fierce generals.
Sun Jian used Cheng Pu as his general and Han Dang as his general.
Xun Zhen used Xu Zhong as a general and Liu Deng as a supplement.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Xu Zhong, and Liu Deng, all of whom were elites, went out of the army first, and hurried to the place where Dong Zhuo was under the leadership of the scouts before dawn.
Seeing that the six thousand tiger soldiers rushed down the mountain like fierce tigers and rushed towards Dong Zhuo, Xun You said, "Dong's soldiers are cavalry as their leader, but now they give up their strength and go into the gardens and the tombs of the emperors... , Marquis Sun, this victory is easy."
Although there are water, forests, and mountains in Yuanlin and Emperor Mausoleum, they can be relied on, but at the same time, it is also because there are water, forests, and mountains that it is not conducive to Dong soldiers to take advantage of cavalry. , this is not bad.
But he said: Don't Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo know this?
Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo also knew that the reason why Jia Xu proposed this strategy to Dong Zhuo and why Dong Zhuo accepted this strategy was because they were forced to. Jia Xu said that because of Dong Zhuo's quick wit, Dong Bing's morale was prevented from falling, which is actually a lie. Both Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo knew very well that since the emperor moved westward and Luoyang was destroyed, Dong Bing's morale had been slowly declining. It was defeated by Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, Hu Zhen gave the head and Xu Rong betrayed. It can be said that Dong Bing's morale was already very low. After this incident, he has become even more low. How can he be so low-spirited? Fighting with Xun Zhen and Sun Jian? Only by transferring into the garden forest and mausoleum, or relying on "risk" to fight against Xun and Sun.
After Xun Zhen and Sun Jian sent their elite troops to attack Dong Zhuo, they dispatched their respective divisions, and ordered each to go to the garrison of Dong Zhuo's generals outside the garrison.
Sun Jian also took Sun Ben and Zu Mao as his generals, and ordered cavalry to cruising among the various troops as support.
Xun Zhen also took Xin Ai and Zhang Fei as generals, and ordered cavalry to roam among the various ministries of the army, in order to echo them.
After Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were dispatched here, the sky was already bright, and each department rushed to the predetermined position.
Xun Zhen and Sun Jian led the central army by themselves, and marched forward for a few more miles, stopping less than five miles from Dong Zhuo's garrison.
At this time, Cheng Pu and Xu Zhong had already arrived at Dong Zhuo's garrison, and the two sides were already at war.
Xun Zhen and Sun Jian climbed to a high place and watched the battle from a distance.
In the morning sun, I could see Dong Zhuo's garrison in the distance where there were lush forests, rivers and streams, and hills and undulating hills. In this forest, water, and mountains, the dust was blowing, flags loomed, and the sound of drums and shouts of killing was heard in the wind.
Sun Jian listened carefully to the sound of the drum, and said to Xun Zhen, "This is the drum of the attack!"
Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I don't know if it's the sound of Qing's attacking drums or ours' attacking drums?"
Sun Jian laughed and said, "In short, it won't be Dong Zhuo's attacking drums."
Xun Zhen and Sun Jian watched the battle from a distance, and sent orders to the Ministry to prepare to help Cheng Pu and Xu Zhong. After all, Dong Zhuo’s group and the prefecture army’s murderous name were outside, so they could be taken by Dong Zhuo. He must be surrounded by the elites of his army, so Cheng Pu and Xu Zhong, the six thousand elite soldiers who have been marching continuously for a day and a night, will be able to defeat Dong Zhuo, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian are not very sure at this time.
At the same time, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian paid close attention to the situation in the remaining positions.
The horses and scouts kept coming, reporting the battle situation ahead and the situation in various places to the two of them.
According to the battle report, Cheng Pu and Xu Zhong's offensive progressed very smoothly.
The situation in the rest of the positions also looked good. Except for a few places where Dong Bing tried to come out to help Dong Zhuo, the Dong Bing in other places didn't dare to come out, and the Dong Bing who tried to come out to Dong Zhuo's aid were also all. He was repelled by Xun and Sun's trilogy.
Although I had a certain degree of certainty that this battle would be won, but when it really started, the battle went so smoothly, which was beyond the expectations of Xun Zhen and Sun Jian.
Both were in a good mood.
Xun Zhen laughed at Gu Xi Zhicai and Xun You, and said, "Zhicai and Gongda, everything is as the two of them expected! Dong Bing's morale is really low and he can't bear a fight."
