Chapter 269: Division of Troops
Hearing Sun Jian's question, Lu Bu, who was thinking about things alone, came back to his senses, "I'm thinking about something." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? When Sun Jian heard this, he immediately became a little interested, and asked with some curiosity.
Lu Bu did not hide it, and said to Sun Jian in a low voice: "The Qiang people fight bravely and are not afraid of death. But when I fought today, I had an indescribable feeling like they were throwing punches and not punching, as if they were deliberately losing to us. ”
In Lu Bu's opinion, the strength of the Qiang people is not inferior to Xianbei at all. The Han army was able to defeat and retreat in the past, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be like today, and it will be crushed at the first touch.
There must be demons when things are abnormal.
The generals were still chattering, and Dong Zhuo, who had not spoken a word, suddenly stood up, like a black bear's eyes spraying a devouring gaze, and those generals who were glanced at were immediately silent, not daring to fight again.
The noisy tent camp soon fell silent.
"The Qiang people are stupid and dull, and they only know the courage of their husbands, and they are characterized by being good at frontal battles in the wild. But if they retreat to a city, it is equivalent to giving up the great advantage brought by the war horse, and this is the best time for us! ”
Dong Zhuo's voice was magnificent, and he steadily suppressed all the generals in terms of momentum.
"Zhong Ying means to attack?" Coach Zhang Wen asked tentatively, even if he didn't know how to fight, he knew that the number of rebels was no less than 100,000, and the siege was definitely not as simple as he said.
If he fails to capture Chen Cang, he will be defeated and will return with a loss, and he can't afford to bear this charge.
"If the general is afraid of death, give me 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I am willing to be the vanguard and take Chen Cang for you."
Dong Zhuo's words made many generals present look at each other, when the rebels attacked last year, Dong Zhuo suffered several defeats, and his attitude towards the rebels was that if he could, he would not fight.
Why has he changed his personality now that he has changed his commander?
The generals couldn't guess Dong Zhuo in their hearts, but no one came out to compete with him.
Zhang Wen saw Dong Zhuo's strong attitude, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, since Zhong Ying has this ambition, then Ben Shuai will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhun Ru will be the vanguard and march into Chencang." ”
Dong Zhuo stepped forward to take the general's order, then gave up his fist, turned around and walked out of the camp directly.
When Huangfu Song was there, he could still restrain Dong Zhuo a little. Now that he has changed to a literary crepe, Dong Zhuo didn't take him seriously at all, and there was a posture of counting him as a hero in the army.
Dong Zhuo led his army to Chencang on the same day, and fought with the rebels here for nearly half a month, and finally lived up to expectations and captured this choke point that threatened Guanzhong.
Zhang Wen was overjoyed when he received the good news. This battle was not only a small victory, but also the first counterattack victory won by the official army since the Qiang rebellion.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Wen wrote a good report and sent it to Luoyang urgently to present the Son of Heaven.
The resolution of the crisis in the Sanfu area means that Luoyang has been completely safe.
After reading the Jane, the Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, he sealed the township marquis of Dong Zhuoao and sealed 1,000 households.
The edict of the award was passed to Chen Cang, and Zhang Wen led the generals to listen to the edict and thank the emperor.
There is no doubt that this time Dong Zhuo has become the biggest winner. At the same time, a group of generals also stepped forward to congratulate and congratulate each other.
And Lu Bu, except for picking six enemy generals in a row on the day he came, there is nothing worth criticizing.
But he himself was quite open to this, as if everything had become commonplace.
Zhang let this old eunuch, if he dares to deduct his first military exploits, he will definitely dare to deduct the second time.
The Han Dynasty rewarded him according to his merits, and Lu Bu was the same as the emperor's most trusted ten permanent servants. So even if he is willing to work hard to kill the enemy, when Zhang Rang stretches out his hand and wipes it, it still can't reach the ears of the Son of Heaven, and no matter how many rebels he kills, it will be in vain.
Therefore, Lu Bu did not expect this rebellion to be crowned a knight.
Lu Bu's mentality is peaceful, but others may not.
Dong Zhuo's feudal marquis undoubtedly gave those generals who did not get a reward, a dose of excited chicken blood.
The rebels retreated from Chencang, but did not dissipate, but turned back to Liangzhou and continued to make waves.
The generals unanimously demanded to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Zhang Wen consulted Dong Zhuo for his opinion.
Dong Zhuo, who had been sealed, was confident about this, and said contemptuously and disdainfully: "The old method of the Qiang people, they saw that our army of 100,000 male divisions had gathered, and they were afraid, so they wanted to avoid us and go back to their hometown to plunder Liangzhou. ”
"Then in your opinion, do you chase or not?" Zhang Wen asked again.
Dong Zhuo didn't answer, got up and walked to the hanging topographic map, took out an arrow and compared it on the map: "The rebels are newly defeated, they should not go far, according to my understanding of the rebels, they will be stationed in the three places of Wudu, Hanyang, and Longxian, and take care of each other." ”
Dong Zhuo said, moved the location of the arrow to Hanyang, and continued: "Wudu and Longxian have been in decline for a long time, and only the local army in Hanyang is still barely supporting, but it is also precarious. ”
"In the current situation, only by dividing the troops into three ways and containing the constraints at the same time can we break the merit." Dong Zhuo gave the final summary opinion.
After hearing this, the generals' eyes lit up, and they were already eager to try.
Zhang Wen also felt that Dong Zhuo was extremely reasonable, and just as he was about to announce the battle plan, Sun Jian stood up and objected.
He clasped his fists at Zhang Wen and said, "General think twice, the terrain south of Liangzhou is complex and changeable, with mountains and hills and forests being the majority. Our army came from afar, and they were not familiar with the terrain, so they rushed to pursue it, fearing that they would be ambushed by the rebels. ”
"Second, Hanyang, Wudu and other places are far away from Chencang, and the sudden division of troops will inevitably lead to a great reduction in strength, and it is taboo for soldiers to go deep alone."
"Third, the road to Liangzhou is long and bumpy, and the logistics grain and grass transportation is inconvenient, in case the grain route is intercepted by the rebels, we will have to starve to death!"
"Fourth, the soldiers ......"
"Make a big fuss, women and children!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, interrupting Sun Jian's words, his face was full of contempt: "Before the fight started, it was really unlucky to talk about many failures." When I said that I would fight Chen Cang, some people were timid. Now that the great opportunity is in front of you, and you are afraid of wolves and tigers, it is better to go home and hug your child, so as to save yourself from being embarrassed here. ”
Boom!
A crisp sound sounded, Sun Jian's temper came up, his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire, he pulled out the sword at his waist on the spot, and pointed at Dong Zhuo angrily.
The generals in the tent were stunned, they didn't expect that the two would make such a fuss when discussing a strategy for the march.
Dong Zhuo glanced at the edge of the copper sword with a cold light, and there was no fear on his face, but he shouted: "Little other Sima, you dare to draw your sword at this general, come on, take it for me!" ”
The soldiers guarding outside the tent immediately rushed into the camp tent and stepped forward to capture Sun Jian.
