Chapter 4: Immediately Crossing the Gun Section 6 (II)
"Brother Wentai, 140,000 against 130,000, after this battle, Xiliang has no troops. The rebels were wiped out, but what about Qianghu? Qianghu was not eliminated. Huangfu Li whispered, "In the future, what will happen to the invasion of the Hu tribe?" ”
Geng Wei hurriedly said: "This matter will be discussed later, the most important thing now is to deal with the enemy in front of you, don't talk about it, your lords." ”
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Sang Yang hurriedly said, "Let's ask Lord Taiwei to decide." ”
Zhang Wen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Immediately send an order to General Dong to garrison Meiyang City, and not to take a step back." ”
Tao Qian's face turned cold, he sighed, shook his hand and walked out of the big tent.
Sun Jian shouted angrily: "Lord Sima is rude, he even went out of the account without saluting Lord Taiwei, it is too rude." ”
Zhang Wen stretched out his hand to pat Sun Jian, and persuaded with a smile: "Gong Zu is arrogant, he has always been like this, don't be surprised, don't be surprised." ”

It was a sunny day. The warm sun, the clear blue sky, the white clouds, and the gentle breeze of Xun, the boundless blue plains, make people feel refreshed.
Li Hong and Xiao Lazy galloped on horseback by the Chengguo Canal, enjoying a moment of leisure before the war.
"The panther is much more adaptable, and a good horse is a good horse." The little lazy patted the panther's sturdy body vigorously and praised it repeatedly.
"How are the war horses of the various departments adapting now, and are there any dead?" Li Hong asked with a smile while wiping the sweat from his head.
"I heard Xiaohu say yesterday that the situation has been much better in the past few days. Didn't Zuo Sima report it to you? ”
"I've been in the camp for the past few days. Generally, I ask Zuo Sima to handle it by himself. He was very knowledgeable, he wrote well, wrote articles well, and played chess well. Once there was something wrong with Zilong's article and pointed it out to him. You see what Zilong admires, and he almost didn't call him teacher. Li Hong said with a smile, "He has a gentle personality, is also modest and generous, and gets along with us very well." Fortunately, he stayed, it would have been a pity if he had left with Zhang Baiqi. ”
"In the Yellow Turban Army, there are too many talented people. When I asked Wei Zheng and Wei Guoan to assassinate him, the old man was very unhappy, thinking that I was too casual and didn't pay attention to this matter. Now you see, after more than a month, from Handan to Chang'an, there has not been a single major violation of military discipline. I wonder, Guoan still has such a big ability? Learned people are different, they do things in an orderly manner, they are clearly organized, their priorities are clear, they are resolute and decisive, they are powerful, and they can't be admired if they don't admire. The old man was convinced. Chen Ming and Chen Zician, the military attendants of the scout battalion, are stronger in their ability and methods than Shouyan. One day I threatened to keep the promise that if I didn't do a good job again, I would go cool. ”
Xiao Lazy smiled: "Shouyan must be angry." But then again, we started with Lu Longsei, and for more than a year, you have gone from a soldier to a lieutenant general, and we have touched your light, and we have also gone from a soldier to another division and a military commander, but because we have not read a book, we are indeed inferior to those who have read in many aspects. The difference between literacy and reading is that one is in heaven and the other is on earth. ”
Li Hong put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't be discouraged? I can't even write articles well, so I'm not going to be a general. If you have time in the future, please ask the teacher to teach us. By the way, please Zuo Sima, you don't have to pay for it. In fact, I think the main thing about reading is to be sensible and know how to behave. If you know how to be an upright person and know what you should do, you don't have to go to school. It's like we go to war. No one will teach you, but you will still fight and win. Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials are all scholars, but they bring disaster to the country and the people, and it is better to be illiterate. Are you saying I'm right? ”
Xiao Lazy nodded, "Listen to you, there is nothing to worry about." When we were in Louronse, the four of us loved to hear you. If Wu Ba and Datou were still alive, how good it would be for the five of us to be together. In that case, we are still in Luronse, and we can sleep in every morning. ”
Li Hong didn't say anything, and hugged Xiao Lazy's shoulders hard, feeling sour.
He let out a long sigh and said, "Everyone will die sooner or later." ”
"What are you doing in the Bingcao Camp these days?" The lazy asked, "Still making spears?" ”
"yes, a little more weaponry. Bing Cao Peng Shi Ji Wei Ji Zhengyi brought a lot of carpenters and blacksmiths from Jizhou, so as long as there is no shortage of raw materials, a lot can be made. This Ji Zhengyi used to be a merchant who made medicinal herbs. Being a businessman is different, with a flexible mind. This time in the Kanto, many soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness and fever, fortunately Ji Zheng took a lot of medical craftsmen with him, and bought a lot of medicinal materials along the way, otherwise it would be a big trouble. This man is amazing. Since the old man had him as his deputy, he shook his hands almost every day, and now he is still free to help me walk the horse. ”
The little lazy sighed: "Indeed, without those healers, we would be miserable. ”
Li Hong continued: "At present, our infantry lacks effective means to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they also lack long-term training, so we are counting on this batch of giant spears to exert their power now. ”
"There are enough giant spears, and we have urgently built a batch in Jizhou. What is missing now is the giant shield, and the training of the soldiers. Although they were the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the past, they were much worse than the soldiers of Luronse. ”
"Barely make do. More than 200,000 people fought not for the physical strength and weapons of the soldiers, but for the number of people. Last year, we conducted many infantry and cavalry drills on the Quang Ninh grassland, and we have a lot of experience in how infantry can fight cavalry. ”
"Of course. War horses can deal with it, are you afraid that you can't deal with people? Xiao Lazy asked with a smile.
Li Hong laughed.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui were leisurely playing chess in the big tent.
"The fat man has stayed in Meiyang and has not withdrawn so far, is there any intention?" Bian Zhang asked in a low voice as he waved his hand to tell the scout to stand down.
"The fat man is very cunning, so be careful. We camped thirty miles away from Meiyang to guard against his surprise attack. Han Sui smiled, "Isn't he afraid that we will besiege the city?" ”
"Zhou Shen and Huang Fuhong's men and horses are all in Huaili, of course the fat man is not afraid of our siege." Bian Zhang put down his son lightly and said slowly, "It's really strange that he won't withdraw when we come." Is he going to wait for us to join the stone and fight him with an army of 130,000? ”
"Who is the fat man? When has he ever suffered? But from the current point of view, I really don't see any tricks he has to play. He only had 30,000 men, and he just wanted to raid, and his troops were not enough. He has 30,000 cavalry? Zhang Wen's troops combined did not have 30,000 cavalry. What tricks is this dead fat man going to play? Han Sui shook his head helplessly and said slowly, "I don't understand." From the analysis of the information we have obtained so far, the reinforcements from Jizhou may have arrived in Chang'an. But does this have anything to do with the fat man stranded in Meiyang? As soon as Zhang Wen's reinforcements arrived, the strength of our twin engines was basically equal. He slowly put down his horse and continued, "But their cavalry is weaker than ours. The June thunderstorm is our last guarantee. ”
"Zhang Wen's side, Shoucheng's iron horse is okay." Bian Zhang said, "Has he written you a letter recently?" ”
"Nope. Ma Teng is hesitant to do things, he wants to rebel but he is afraid of being scolded, and he can't become a big climate. Han Sui smiled slightly, "Isn't it the descendant of General Fubo?" What does it matter? We are neither anti-Han nor anti-emperor, who will spit on him? ”
"After all, Shoucheng is a famous family, and it is normal to have many concerns."
"Forget it, don't expect him to fight back. Hurry up and urge June Thunder and Iron Wolf to stop grinding in the Tiger Valley, and go to the right side of the wind to join the battle as soon as possible. Did the order to give the stone out? Han Sui asked in a low voice.
"It's been sent four times. This stone is already an enemy, what kind of friendship do you care? He didn't come for a long time, what's the use of our 80,000 people surrounding Meiyang? Not only could it not be defeated, but it was also possible to be surrounded by Zhang Wen's reinforcements. This stone ......" Bian Zhang shook his head again and again, with a helpless face.
He and Li Wenhou's troops are still more than 100 miles away from Meiyang, and they are about to arrive, but they are afraid that they will come together tomorrow morning and suddenly find that Dong Fatzi has disappeared, so they can't cry or laugh. You write a letter to him and tell him that if he doesn't arrive in Meiyang tomorrow afternoon, our friend will not do it, and everyone will take the team back to Jincheng. Han Sui stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Tell Ma to play in person, pull your face down and say." ”
Bian Zhang laughed.

Dong Zhuo slapped the case violently and shouted, "Lao Bian is here?" ”
The scout shuddered and hurriedly replied, "Here, General, here......"
"Okay." Dong Zhuo roared, his expression extremely excited.
Several subordinates scattered around were taken aback and looked at Dong Zhuo in unison.
"General, is something wrong?" Li Su asked cautiously.
"The old side is here, and the stone will arrive tomorrow, what's so good." Hu Zhen muttered dissatisfiedly.
Dong Zhuowang looked at his subordinates around him and said with a smile: "Lao Bian is early, the stone is late, there is no need to fight tomorrow, why are you not happy about such a good thing?" ”
Li Su is one of the four captains under Dong Zhuo, the other three are Hu Zhen, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, and one is older, Dong Zhuo's young friend, named Yang Ding. When Dong Zhuo was in his twenties as a soldier Cao Pengshi, he took Yang Ding and more than a dozen other brothers to fight the world together. Now that they have all died in battle, Yang Ding is left with a brother.
Li Su is tall and heroic, courteous, both civil and military, and his words are like a river. He is good at observing words and feelings, pondering Dong Zhuo's thoughts, and saying some things that Dong Zhuo likes to hear, Dong Zhuo has always liked him very much, but he has tabooed his mouth, so he has never dared to treat him as a confidant.
Hearing what Dong Zhuo said, Li Su immediately turned on his brain, thought about it, and tried to understand the meaning of Dong Zhuo's words.
