Chapter 440: Take a gamble

Sunset Pavilion.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were vivid, looking at the direction of Luoyang City, the fire was still burning, it had been burning for two days, and most of Luoyang City had become ruins, and he said coldly in his heart: "Mujing, you'd better die in this flame, otherwise a certain family will never spare you!" ”

"Lord, we have been fooled!"

Li Ru came in a hurry from outside, his expression was gloomy as water: "Mu Jing has escaped from Luoyang!" ”

"What?"

Dong Zhuo glared at Li Ru: "Where did you escape from?" ”

"Luoshui River!"

Li Ru's face was ugly.

A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, he thinks too much, but ignores a loophole under his nose.

Luoshui.

Why couldn't he have imagined that Luoshui would come out of Luoyang?

"Luoshui River?" Dong Zhuo panicked: "Go south or go north?" ”

Luoshui can go up along the northeast or down the southwest, and these two directions can be very important.

"Southeast!"

"He's going to Guanzhong!"

Dong Zhuo was furious, he had regarded Guanzhong as the territory of the Xiliang Army, and Mujing was taking food from the tiger's mouth.

The Guanzhong Plain is a rich place, if it is disturbed by the Mujing army, even if the Xiliang army eats it in the future, it will be discounted, which is very unfavorable to the future development of the Xiliang army.

"They must not be allowed to enter the customs!" Dong Zhuo shouted: "Lu Bu! ”

"Father-in-law, the child is here!"

Lu Bu came quickly.

"Gather the soldiers and horses immediately!" Dong Zhuo gave the order.

"Yes!"

Lu Bu felt like he was going to gather an army.

"Topographic map of Guanzhong!" Li Ru snorted, the left and right guards stepped forward, pulled out a picture, and put it in front of the two, Li Ru said: "Lord, go south along the Luoshui River, Yiyang, Lu's, you can go ashore to Hongnong, and go straight to Jingzhao!" ”

"Yang Biao, he won't look at Mulongtu and enter Hongnong, right?"

"So we can get the word out to them!" Li Rudao.

"Good!"

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Immediately pass the news to them, and ...... another"

A cold glint crossed his eyes: "In the name of the Son of Heaven, I ordered the Guanzhong Army to go out from the east and go straight to Shangluo and Wuguan, this time, I will completely surround and kill them in Guanzhong!" ”

"The Son of Heaven has just entered Chang'an, will it be ......?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "Wang Yun's old horseman will not let Mu Jing escape, and he can't afford to gamble, so the Guanzhong army will definitely move, but tell Zhang Ji that they must not move the forces surrounding the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Ru nodded.

"The father and son of the Mu family are all heroes, a Mu Yuanzhong has overwhelmed us, a certain family gave up the entire Xiliang, and sought the opportunity to enter Luoyang, but in the end they could only prostrate under him, and now they finally destroyed him, and they must not let a Mu Longtu escape!"

Dong Zhuo said fiercely: "Mu Longtu's son, he can be so decisive in burning Yang City, his courage is better than his father, if he is allowed to escape, we will have trouble sleeping in the future!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, they can't escape!"

Li Ru said firmly.

……

……

Xincheng County.

After Yimin Pass goes south, it is the county seat of Xincheng, which used to be the battlefield of the Xiliang Army and the Jiangdong Army, and there are still many traces left by the war on the city wall, the county seat is not very big, but it is very suitable for camping.

"Sir, the cavalry scouts have all been released, there is news just now, three hours ago, the Jiangdong army has returned to Yimin Pass, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will go south to Xincheng, and they are bound to pursue us tightly!"

Zhou Cang handed over his hand.

"Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, from Changsha, through Jingzhou, through Nanyang, straight into Henan, the army is in Luoyang, although defeated in the Xiliang army, but the momentum is not declining, quite a hundred battles of the temperament, is a hero!"

Hu Zhao is the main commander, commanding the two armies, for the main force all the way, swaggering through the city, he was going to fight a few battles in this area, he heard Zhou Cang's report, squinted, and said: "He will choose to send troops, it is not surprising, this person is still loyal to the Han family, so he will not sit back and wait for us to leave, but now is not the time to fight with them, I have to wait, I want to see, among the coalition army, how many Han loyal ministers!" ”

"The new city is not a place of long-term war!"

Huang Shao said in a deep voice: "It's okay to stay here, but we will be detoured, and then we will lose the opportunity to go south to join the main army!" ”

"So the Yellow Turban Army wants to split another battlefield!"

"Another battlefield? Where? ”

"Liang County!"

Hu Zhao pointed to the topographic map and said in a deep voice: "To deal with the Jiangdong Army, the Violent Bear Army is enough, I'm afraid that the chasing troops behind will come too fast, and no one can guarantee that how many soldiers and horses will be pursued by the Kwantung Coalition Army, Liang County, it has become the key!" ”

"What if the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung Coalition Army don't occupy Liang County?" Huang Shao asked, "Wouldn't I be in Liang County in vain!" ”

"Do you think that's going to happen?"

"It's hard to say!"

Huang Shao said with a wry smile: "It's not the same way for us to leave Guanzhong, we can go south to Nanyang, or we can go east to enter Yingchuan, is it hard to guarantee that they think the same way, when they give up Liang County and attack the itinerary directly, won't my troops be wasted in Liang County, and let the Violent Bear Army face huge pressure?" ”

"It's no surprise that anyone thinks so!" Hu Zhao glanced at Huang Shao, Huang Shao is actually more suitable for a strategic deployment strategist, he considers all aspects of things, no matter how big or small, he is more than cautious, but he lacks the courage to take risks.

"However, if this is a gamble, there are two directions in front of us, Nanyang or Yingchuan, you and I have to bet, where will you bet?" Hu Zhao asked rhetorically.

"Nanyang!"

Huang Shao thought about it for a while, and finally gave a helpless answer.

"Isn't that right?" Hu Zhao shrugged.

"Okay, I'll immediately lead my troops into Liang County!"

Huang Shao understood what Hu Zhao meant, and said with his hand.

"Pay attention to the secrecy of the action, you must kill when you come, and you will come out with a surprise soldier when you kill it, and you can break the enemy in one fell swoop if you are not prepared to attack it!" Hu Zhaodao.

"Got it!"

Huang Shao nodded and said.

……

……

Yiyang County, thirty miles southeast, at the northern foot of Bear's Ears Mountain.

The Jingping Army was temporarily stationed.

In the headquarters of a wooden shed, Mu Jing has a heavy battle armor, a cloak hunting, standing on the marching map, his eyes hunting and condensing the battle map, and planning a strategy in his heart: "I'm not worried about the Kwantung Coalition Army, there are definitely not many troops who dare to pursue, with Hu Zhao's talent, the combat effectiveness of the Violent Bear Army and the Yellow Turban Army is enough to deal with, maybe they can kill them for a big defeat, but if the time drags on, it will definitely be caught up by the Xiliang Army, Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf ride, the speed is extraordinary!" ”

In this era, it is a very difficult thing to travel, it is impossible to travel hundreds of miles a day, but there are still cavalrymen who travel 150 miles a day, and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou is a cavalry as fast as the wind.

With the addition of a Lu Bu, once they chase up, it will not be good news for them.

"Mr. Hu Zhao's talent and ability, he should be able to think of a quick solution, we have deduced the original plan several times, our position is not easy to move!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.

This is a battlefield, they will fight out of the battlefield in Guanzhong and mobilize the Jingping army in advance, which will make their later plans fall short.

"Huang Zhong should be about to arrive at Lu City at this time!"

Mu Jing thought about it, and did not continue to cling to the battle situation in front of him, he was quickly moving the situation of the soldiers and horses on the third road, and put Huang Zhong, who had the strongest combat effectiveness, on the third road, because the third road was very important, his family was small, Hu Zhao's family was small, and the families of many generals from all walks of life were among them, and there were too many old and young women and children, and it was not a simple matter to want to escort the south.

"According to the plan, when there are no accidents, in a day at most, they can pass through Lushi City smoothly, and then go straight to Shangxian County to occupy Wuguan first, but I'm still a little worried!"

"Worried about Hongnong's soldiers?"

Mu Jing squinted.

"The Hongnong army can be ignored, even if Yang Biao has enough prestige to gather the young and strong, but there are rabbles above, but Ma Teng's Xiliang army is elite, if they kill Hongnong and go straight to Lu's county, or maybe they will intercept Huang Zhong in Lu's and force Huang Zhong to land from Lu's, abandon the ship, and only go south from the Bears Ears Mountains, this time greatly extending the speed of our southward!"

Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

"Xiliang Ma Teng?"

Mu Jing rubbed the bridge of his nose: "It's a hard bone!" ”

Dong Zhuo is the old warlord of Xiliang, so Ma Teng and Han Sui are the new warlords of Xiliang, they are also the Xiliang army, and Ma Teng's soldiers and horses are not weaker than Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses.

"I'm not afraid of them!"

Mu Jing squinted: "Do you say that Huangfu Song can see through my strategic deployment?" ”

"Huangfu Song is definitely a famous general, on the battlefield, we are not as experienced as him, we have all reached this point, there are only a few roads in front of us, he still can't see through our strategic deployment, he is not worthy of being a famous general to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"

Xi Zhicai said: "I'm sure that once he sends troops, he will quickly take Shangluo, open up Shang County, seize Wuguan in one go, and block my last retreat!" ”

"There is no room for failure in Wuguan!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

Their planned deployment to the south had already begun, and at this time there was no turning back from the bow, and he had no second way to go.

Therefore, Wuguan cannot afford to lose.

"Or we'll divide our troops!"

Xi Zhicai proposed: "I will lead a part of the soldiers and horses, march day and night, and go south to Wuguan as soon as possible, at any cost, take Wuguan first!" ”

"No, if you divide the troops, it's too dangerous, and if you can't get the two ends in place, the whole army will be wiped out!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, revealing his courage: "I want to gamble this time, gamble with God, bet on winning, I will die, I will lose the bet, I will work hard, Wuguan don't care, everything will go according to the original plan!" ”

He began to deploy when he was at Bishui Pass.

He wrote two letters.

The first letter is a letter to the captain of the Yangshan battalion of the Violent Bear Army, Nanyang Taishou, after Mu Shan left Nanyang, he was the general of Mu Clan's town guarding Nanyang, Liu Jin.

He was betting on Liu Jin's loyalty.
