Chapter 174: Dong Zhuo Arrives
After Ye Chen finished talking to Lu Zhi, he didn't look at Liu Bei again, and roared away with the escort battalion, which made Liu Bei very unhappy and hated Ye Chen.
Ye Chen and they set up a camp a few hundred meters away from the Chinese army's camp, and now that the Han army has no commander, they all guard the camp and do not fight.
"Bonghyo, what's the situation?" Ye Chen asked Guo Jia to collect intelligence, and now he asks about the situation.
"Lord, the situation is a little bad, although there are our reinforcements, but the strength of the Yellow Turban is still much stronger than ours, and it occupies Guangzong, if we only confront each other, we will not suffer, how to insist on attacking, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses." Guo Jia said.
"We can only take one step at a time, and hopefully the new commander won't let our cavalry attack." Ye Chen said worriedly.
Of course he knows who the newcomer is, that is, Dong Zhuo, in the battle of Guangzong, the last bit of vitality of the Han Dynasty was exhausted, in this war, the Han suffered heavy losses, and several soldiers and horses of the imperial court were almost dead.
"Fengxiao, if the Han army chooses to attack hard, what will be the final result?" Ye Chen has to prepare for the worst, the big man is finished, but his strength must be preserved.
"The current situation is not bad, General Lu Zhi is running very well, and the Yellow Turban has no chance, but if it is attacked hard, the Han army will definitely be defeated, and it may even be wiped out." Guo Jia is not alarmist, but carefully calculated.
Guo Jia said again: "Lord, now that the situation is clear, as long as the new coach is not a fool, he will not attack." ”
Guo Jia said that it was a normal situation, but Dong Zhuo was not a person who played cards according to common sense, he attacked as soon as he came, resulting in the defeat of the Han army, and in the end, if it wasn't for Huangfu Song's soldiers and ability, and Zhang Jiao was seriously ill and died, otherwise the Yellow Turban might have attacked Luoyang.
Ye Chen felt bitter in his heart, and he couldn't say it to Guo Jiaming, so he said: "This Lu Zhi is guilty of not attacking the Yellow Turban, and the new boss may be forced by the pressure of the imperial court to choose to attack." ”
When Guo Jia heard this, there was indeed such a possibility.
Next, the two discussed the future countermeasures, nothing else, there has been no war recently, although the Han army has no commander here, its strength is strong, and Lu Zhi has a good defense, and the yellow turban can't find a chance.
A few days later, Dong Zhuo finally arrived, and he came over with tens of thousands of troops, so that there were more than 100,000 Han troops here in Guangzong.
Dong Zhuo was very strong, and asked to vacate the big tent of the Chinese army to his army.
Ye Chen was not with the army of the Han army, so he was not affected, some of the Han army was driven out by Dong Zhuo, and he went to find a place to camp, of course he was very unhappy, but he was not happy, he was the commander sent by the imperial court, and he was personally strong and strong, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which 30,000 were cavalry.
To say that the entire Han Dynasty, from before the Yellow Turban Uprising to a long time after the fall of the Yellow Turban, the foreign minister with the most soldiers and horses belonged to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was stationed in the frontier, and the Xiongnu Xianbei in the north often bordered, so the imperial court allowed him to have so many soldiers and horses.
The imperial court thought that Xiliang was poor in terms of products and economic difficulties, and Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had to rely on the imperial court to provide for him, even if he wanted to make a law, as long as his food and salary were cut off, then he would not be worried, and it was true, Dong Zhuo could not raise so many soldiers and horses by relying on Liangzhou alone, but who knew that he would finally control the center with his strong strength and endanger the whole world.
After Dong Zhuo had settled the army, he held a meeting overnight and asked all the officers to go and see him.
Of course, Ye Chen was also among them, and he was a little confused now, whether he wanted to be controlled by Dong Zhuo or not.
The previous order of the imperial court was very clear, let Ye Chen return to Lu Zhi's moderation, not to the commander of the Han army, although Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi, but the imperial court's order was not changed. When he gave the order to Ye Chen before, no one knew that this Lu Zhi would be taken down suddenly.
With complicated thoughts, Ye Chen took Guo Jia to see Dong Zhuo, the current situation is unclear, Ye Chen asked Tai Shici and Guan Yu to be vigilant at all times and deal with emergencies at any time.
As soon as he walked outside Dong Zhuo's camp, he saw a group of soldiers, standing majestically outside the camp, as if they were on duty, but Ye Chen understood at a glance that Dong Zhuo was going to give them a dismount.
Sure enough, when he walked into the barracks, groups of soldiers lined up neatly, because these people had been fighting on the border for a long time, they exuded a strong bloody atmosphere, and Dong Zhuo's dismount was already very obvious.
Ye Chen's face was calm and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, outside the big tent, there were two tall generals at the door, holding weapons in their hands, when they saw Ye Chen and them coming, their eyes looked at them directly, the weapons in their hands were still gesturing, and the threat was obvious.
Dong Zhuo did this because he wanted to immediately take charge of all the military power and suppress all the officers and soldiers under him with force, but Ye Chen's face was calm and he was not affected by this, because Ye Chen would not have much intersection with Dong Zhuo in the next few years, so there was no need to be afraid of him.
As for the moment, if Dong Zhuo really dares to let him be sent to death, then Ye Chen will dare to disobey and disrespect, this is also what Ye Chen and Guo Jia discussed, taking advantage of the unclear order of the imperial court, even if it is investigated afterwards, there is a saying, then the big thing can be turned into a small one, and the big deal will erase the previous credit.
"General Jianwei Ye Chen, I have seen General Dong." Ye Chen entered Dong Zhuo's big tent, and many people had already gathered inside, and most of the generals had arrived.
"General Jianwei, why are you only here now, how important it is to raise the account, why should you be lazy." Seeing Ye Chen coming in, Dong Zhuo wanted to take someone to Liwei, Ye Chen arrived at the latest and became Dong Zhuo's target.
Of course, Ye Chen understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts, the previous arrangement outside was Liwei, and now he shouted at him in front of everyone and wanted to cure his crimes, this was the best way to Liwei.
"Now that the yellow turban is powerful, our military camp is far away from the big tent of the Chinese army, so I came after everything was arranged, so it was too late." Ye Chen just bowed to Dong Zhuo slightly, and then explained.
Ye Chen's performance was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Dong Zhuo stunned for a moment, because those people came in just now and saw that none of his arrangements were trembling, and Ye Chen was not developing in the direction he expected at all.
Dong Zhuo's eyes shot a cold glint, he snorted coldly, and was about to get angry, when a man in his thirties next to him said a few words in his ear.
The man was thin, with two beards, and looked a little lewd.
"This Ye Chen is Zhang Rang's person, Zhang Rang can ask Lu Zhi for the crime, I'm afraid that there is nothing to dare you do, so it's better not to mess with him."
Dong Zhuo was suppressed by him after hearing this, and instead of erupting, he showed a smiling face.
"Well, General Jianwei is thoughtful, rare, rare. Please take a seat with General Jianwei. ”
Ye Chen glanced at the person next to Dong Zhuo, and secretly said in his heart, this person has the ability, a word can make Dong Zhuo suppress his anger, Ye Chen saw that Dong Zhuo, who was going to breathe fire on Ye Chen, could actually smile at him, so he looked down on the person next to Dong Zhuo.
