South of Taiyuan County, Wucheng.

On the avenue, nearly 20,000 Xiliang iron riders are going north along the avenue without hurry, heading to Taiyuan.

Dong Zhuo sat on a tall horse, nibbling on a leg of mutton while moving forward leisurely.

That's not in a hurry to rush to Jinyang.

The Huns had reached an agreement with him, and they would pass through Jinyang City first and go to Jicheng to block Su Zhe, which made Dong Zhuo really relieved.

The Huns' 60,000 iron cavalry, even if they can't destroy Su Zhe's army of more than 100,000, it should be no problem to drag Su Zhe.

With such self-belief, Dong Zhuo relaxed his mind for the time being, and led the army to Jinyang unhurriedly.

Sima Yi's offer to him was very simple, let the Huns carry Su Zhe in front, and he waited for work in Jinyang City.

The Huns were able to repel Su Zhe in the end, if not, at least they could consume Su Zhe's vitality and drag time into the muddy season of spring rains.

At that time, Su Zhe, who couldn't keep up with the logistics supply, had more than 100,000 mouths without food to eat, so what was there to fear.

At that time, he just had to clear the wilderness and wait for Su Zhe to retreat from the army.

"Father-in-law, when Shicai passed through the Jiexiu Pass, he seemed to hear the rumors, saying that the Huns had been defeated by Su Zhe."

Li Ru, who was on the side, couldn't help but remind.

Dong Zhuo's figure shook slightly, and he looked up at the soldiers in front and back, left and right, as if he finally noticed that something was wrong.

Since yesterday, the soldiers seem to have begun to become panicked, and there are vaguely rumors about the defeat of the Huns in the army.

These rumors made Dong Zhuo also uneasy for a while, and began to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Huns.

But he thought about it again, even if the Huns were defeated by Su Zhe, it was impossible for them to be so weak, and they were defeated by Su Zhe in just a few days.

Su Zhe is strong, but it can't be that strong.

After Dong Zhuosi thought about it, he forcibly put aside this suspicion and comforted himself that he didn't have to think about it.

Now, when Li Ru reminded him again, he found that the rumors had spread in the army and had seriously begun to affect the morale of the army.

"The cavalry of the Su thief is still on the Shangdang Heights, without cavalry, how can he defeat the Huns, this must be a rumor spread by people with bad intentions, deliberately disturbing the morale of the army!"

Dong Zhuo snorted disdainfully, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Pass the order, strictly investigate the rumor-makers, and kill me if you find one!" ”

Suppressing dissidents by killing is indeed Dong Zhuo's style.

Li Ru stopped talking, but the word worry was still written on his face.

Sima Yi, who was on the other side, said with relief: "Master Li really doesn't have to worry too much, Su Zhe is a human being and not a god, even if he can defeat the Xiongnu in the end, I will never believe that it will be so fast." ”

Li Ru was silent, and the brow on his forehead loosened slightly.

"It's almost time to go today, the old man is tired, stop and camp on the spot, and have a few drinks with the old man tonight."

The sun hadn't set yet, Dong Zhuo didn't want to leave, and he was already addicted to alcohol.

The order was given, and the army stopped advancing and prepared to camp on the spot.

At this moment, Guo Yan rushed over and shouted with a panicked face: "Taishi, the big thing is not good, the Huns were defeated by Su Zhe, more than half of the soldiers were lost, even the Right Xian King was killed, and the remnants have fled to Jinyang!" ”

Boom Boom –

A thunderbolt fell in the air.

Dong Zhuo's body shook for a moment, his fat body almost fell off the horse, and his face was distorted in astonishment.

Time seemed to freeze, and the expressions of everyone present, including Sima Yi, were frozen in astonishment.

"Fuck your shit, the Huns have 60,000 iron horsemen, how can they be defeated so quickly!"

Dong Zhuo came to his senses and shouted at Guo Yan at the bottom of the rest

Guo Yan had a bitter face, so he told Su Zhe how to induce the Huns to take the initiative to attack, how to ambush the withered grass in advance, and how to launch a fire attack on the battlefield, burning the Huns by surprise, and did not dare to miss a word.

Dong Zhuo was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, as if he had heard a fantasy.

Sima Yi also frowned deeply, and there was a faint hatred in his eyes, which was the deep jealousy generated by Zhimo's crushing by Su Zhe.

"He was able to predict the location of the battle between the two armies in advance, lay out a fire attack strategy, and took the initiative to show weakness, inducing the Huns to attack in a big way, and the strategy was linked one by one, so subtle that it was really ......"

Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, and only the word "submission" remained on his face.

Li Ru also came to his senses, and said with a bitter face: "I didn't expect the Huns to be so useless, father-in-law, once the Huns are defeated, Jicheng will inevitably be lost, and the army of Su thieves can enter the Taiyuan Basin unimpeded, and approach Jinyang, we can't delay any longer, hurry up to Jinyang." ”

He woke up Dong Zhuo with a sentence, and at this time, the alcohol addiction in his mouth had long since disappeared, and his heart was filled with anger.

"Huvro's useless waste, waste!" Dong Zhuo hated his indisputable hideousness, gritted his teeth and scolded.

scolded and scolded, but Dong Zhuo didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop camping and immediately set off and go straight to Jinyang City.

When Dong Zhuoren had not yet arrived in Jinyang City, he gave orders to the counties on the way, ordering the counties to send all the materials to Jinyang quickly, so that the walls were clear, and Su Zhe would never be given a grain of grain.

It's a pity that his tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness have long been expected by Su Zhe.

After capturing Jicheng, Su Zhe advanced to Jinyang with the main force on the one hand, and on the other hand, he divided several troops and horses to directly load the Yuci and other cities around Jinyang, and took the first step to take the grain and grass as his own.

After this search, the grain and grass in Su Zhe's hands were enough to support his army for a month or two.

This also means that even if Taihang Mountain is about to enter the rainy season, the roads have become muddy, and the transportation of grain and grass is no longer convenient, he can use the stolen grain and grass as a supplement and barely survive the rainy season.

Su Zhe's actions made Dong Zhuo very annoyed, but he was helpless.

When the problem of grain and grass was solved, Su Zhe had no worries, and immediately led the army to rush to Jinyang City.

Two days later, 150,000 Soviet troops entered the southeast of Jinyang City.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had arrived in Jinyang with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and met the 30,000 Hun soldiers and horses who had returned from defeat, barely enough to gather nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses.

The enemy army has 60,000 people, Jinyang City is also a strong city in the world, it can not be broken by the sunset, Su Zhe is not in a hurry to attack the city, first call the soldiers to the east and south of Jinyang City.

In the late spring and early summer of that year, the two armies of Su Dong formed a confrontation under the city of Jinyang.

……

Hanzhong, South Zhengcheng.

Liu Bei sat on it, holding the latest information sent back from Bingzhou in his hand, with a cloudy and uncertain expression on his face.

After a while, he put down the information and sighed: "This Su thief, as always, uses soldiers like a god, but I didn't expect the Huns to be defeated if they couldn't walk under him." ”

"The Huns are brave and strategic, and it is reasonable to lose to Su Zhe, but once the Huns are defeated, Dong Zhuo will be trapped in Jinyang by Su thieves, but it gives us a good opportunity to take Chang'an."

Zhuge Liang at the foot shook the feather fan lightly, and a faint smile of confidence flowed on the young face.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, but he said: "Although Dong Zhuo went to Jinyang, Chang'an City is still guarded by Dong Huang, and there are still 30,000 heavy soldiers left. ”

"It's not easy, it's not too late for the lord to make a conclusion after reading this letter." Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously, took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was curious, took the letter and looked at it, and his eyes were instantly full of surprise.
