What to do, what to do?

After Yang Ding took the seal from Xu Rong, he kept asking himself, what should he do?

Yang Ding is not ignorant of soldiers, his clan has settled in Liangzhou for generations, and even has a very high status in that land that has been deeply troubled by war for a long time. www.biquge.info In his hometown, Yang Ding was known as Lord Liangzhou.

That's a highly respected person.

But now he can't help him, and he can break Yanbei.

But how is he going to defeat Yanbei? Before Xu Rong left, he repeatedly persuaded him with kind words and explained the current situation of the two armies. Yanbei's soldiers are not as weak as people imagine, but they are the first of the heroes in the Kanto region, and he is told not to lose the revolving gate because of greed, otherwise Luoyang will lose.

Xu Rong said that the best way at the moment is to defend, even if the heavens send thunder punishments, they will not be moved. This war is so protracted whether it is for the Kwantung Coalition Army or Dong Zhuojun, and the competition is not about military strength or combat power; It is not about the gains and losses of one city or one place.

It's about who goes wrong first.

There is such a big court behind Dong Gong, and everyone is not concentric. And the Kwantung princes are the same, so many of them have already shown infighting at the moment, and Liu Dai's killing of Qiao Mao is just the beginning.

No one is an iron plate, but at least in terms of military power, the orders of the western soldiers are all from Dong Gong, and the power is much more stable than that of the Kanto heroes!

As long as they hold on, the Kwantung princes don't even need them to fight, and they will become a plate of scattered sand.

Yang Ding understands the truth.

But can he not stand an inch? When Yang Ding was just transferred to the guard of the revolving gate, he really planned to follow Xu Rong's tactics, so he blindly guarded to see what the heroes of the Kwantung region could do. The facts have also proved that even Yanbei, who is rumored to be so powerful in Sanfu, is still helpless, and can only camp troops in Xingyang City all day without showing his head.

But when the time came to July, Yang Ding couldn't hold on.

Dong Zhuo sent him letters twice a month, asking him why he hadn't broken the anti-thieves outside the revolving gate, and he was waiting to take the head of the Yanbei thief.

What a thief!

At present, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the Yanbei headquarters and the partial general Lu Yi, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and others have gathered around them, and they have become the second leader after Yuan Shao, the heroes of the Kwantung region, and they have become a new alliance against Dong, even more radical than Yuan Shao, who is firmly seated in Yangwu City...... The coalition army under his command plus 60,000 or 70,000 horses, is this a thief?

If this is a thief, what are these generals who lead 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers?

If it was only Dong Gong's urging, Yang Ding could still bear it, but coupled with the big break of the coalition forces in the north and south, Yang Ding couldn't bear the pressure.

Guo Yan, who defeated Wang Kuang, is the favorite general of Dong Zhuo's headquarters; Hu Zhen, who attacked Sun Jian in vain, was the adult Hu Zhen who was named Liangzhou with him, and Xu Rong, who defeated Sun Jian, was a Youzhou person!

Do these two Liangzhou adults seem too incompetent?

Under this kind of thinking, Yang Ding was restless and anxious all day long in the revolving gate, and he had to make some merits...... But where does this merit come from? Storming Xingyang City like a stupid dog?

Finally, in mid-July, an idea of plundering the people of Xingyang and came to Yang Ding's mind.

Isn't Dong Gong transferring the people of Luoyang? Although I, Yang Ding, have no intention of storming Xingyang, the people in those countryside are always easy to loot, and sending them into the customs is a merit. On the other hand, if a small group of soldiers and horses plundered the people and caused Yanbei to be angry and send troops, it would just lead him out of the city to fight.

The siege of the city was a matter of heavy casualties, but the field wave battle ...... Who have the people of Liangzhou been afraid of?

The pass was opened, and five thousand Liangzhou cavalry rolled out, and nine songs rushed to various places to rob the township, whether it was property or population, but everything that could be seen and used was taken away. The people of Xingyang ushered in a new catastrophe.

A few days had passed since the news reached the ears of Yan Bei, who occupied Xingyang, and the people who had fled between the townships and the Lu had fled into Xingyang City to ask for the protection of General Duliao, which made Yan Bei's face turn blue.

Chen Qun, who was caught up here, asked Yanbei, "Now that the Liangzhou soldiers are plundering all directions, why doesn't the general attack them?" ”

Yan Beili stood at the head of the city and looked at the undulating mountains of Sizhou, although the Liangzhou soldiers were not arrogant enough to wander in the places where he could see, but it was not difficult to imagine the tragic situation of the people of Xingyang Township being plundered.

"How I don't want to." Yan Bei shook his head, looked south to face Chen Qun and said, "Now is not a good time to attack the Liangzhou soldiers. ”

Chen Qun frowned and said no more, he didn't understand what the good time Yanbei was waiting for. Now that the Liangzhou soldiers who are plundering everywhere are in the field, and it is difficult to combine troops with a small number, isn't it a good time to attack them and weaken the enemy?

"Changwen, why do you think we started the army?" Yan Bei turned his head, looked at the young and heroic Chen Qun, and asked, "Is it to crusade against Dong Zhuo and return to power, or is it to defeat every Liangzhou soldier and horse?" ”

This battle was too big for Yanbei's growth, this was the real war, the first war he personally led. It is different from the previous occupation of land occupied by helping the Son of Yuyang Tianzi to occupy a corner of peace, and it is also different from the war aimed at destroying the enemy's soldiers and horses like the conquest of Montenegro and resisting Gongsun Zhan.

This is a war extended by the different political positions of the court, and unlike the previous petty fights, they have a clear ...... Well, Yanbei has clear political goals.

It is not about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but about defeating or forcing back in the overall situation, so that Dong Zhuo will give up continuing to control the government.

This made him feel the essence of war, potential.

But Chen Qun didn't understand, and even Chen Qun's position with Yanbei was different, he was neither a prince nor a courtier, he was just involved in this war because of an accident, and reluctantly appeared on the Xingyang battlefield as a staff member of General Du Liao.

"Does the general think that the crusade against Dong Zhuo is not the same thing as defeating the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou?"

Yan Bei looked at Chen Qun and smiled.

"Well, it's not the same thing. Let me ask you, Dong Zhuo now has more than 100,000 horses, if we defeat these more than 100,000 Lianghe and even Luoyang soldiers, will Dong Zhuo be able to withdraw from the imperial court? Yan Bei shook his head slowly, "No, he won't retreat." Chang'an is closer to Liangzhou and the state, and farther away from us. Even if we defeat his soldiers and horses, he can still rely on the power of the imperial court to recruit the people of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, and more soldiers and horses will come out to fight us. ”

"And the combat power of the Western soldiers, you have heard of it these days. Those newly recruited soldiers in the Kanto region had no training, no war, and only a spear as a weapon. Expecting them to kill an old soldier in Liangzhou, they will have to be killed and wounded. Even if my subordinates have fought a few battles, they will be able to defeat them with one thing against the Shangliangzhou soldiers...... If we use human lives to pile up, how many people will we have to die before we can kill all the western soldiers? ”

Yanbei is by no means alarmist, those men who grew up in Liangliang, since they were born, they have to experience three or five chaotic battles in those places every year, and there will be a big war every other year. Western soldiers who survived in that environment, no matter how bad their military discipline was, would not be judged by fighting...... There really is no one in the world who is their opponent.

Even the Liaodong soldiers are far from the same.

Not to mention that Dong Zhuo's western soldiers are already more than them, this is not a war that can be won by using people.

"Then what are you waiting for when the general is talking about the opportunity?" Chen Qun smacked his tongue secretly, thinking that this is also the case, if he released the scattered cavalry to chase and kill the defenders of the revolving gate pass who were wandering around and plundering the people, he was afraid that the 20,000 people in Yanbei would die, and he would be able to kill more than 10,000 Liangzhou soldiers, and the revolving gate pass would still be impregnable.

The night battle east of Xingyang has fully proved the high combat power of the Liangzhou soldiers. In the case that the time and place are not favorable to them, there is no intention, after the war, the Liangzhou soldiers who collected the corpses only died more than 2,300 deaths, even if they counted the surrender of more than 600 prisoners, there were still 3,000 Liangzhou soldiers who fled.

And Sun Qing and others had little left of the 2,500 scout army, and now only more than 600 Wuhuan cavalry survived or were all wounded.

As for the 500 scouts Han army that Sun Qing brought out from Wenxian, only 17 people were left who could fight.

It was a battle in the wilderness in the dark of night, and the western soldiers fought against the Liaodong scouts with all the cavalry, but there was a battle in which the casualties of both sides were almost equal.

Although the result of the battle was that Huaxiong lost and Xu Rong withdrew his troops back to Xuanmen Pass, who could not be uneasy about such a result? That is to say, the military discipline of the Liangzhou soldiers is extremely poor, and it will be difficult to gather after they are scattered, otherwise the result of that battle will be the annihilation of the entire army of Liaodong scouts, and Xingyang Jiancheng is still in the hands of Xu Rong.

If that's the case, even if it's as strong as Yanbei, you can only drink and hate Bianshui and retreat to Yangwu City or even sour dates, and do nothing.

Yan Bei's eyes looked south, and he spoke after a while: "Wait for Sun Wentai, wait for him to rise up and turn defeat into victory, or wait for him to lose his halberd." ”

Regardless of whether Sun Jian won or lost, Yanbei had a way to deal with it, but he couldn't accept acting unprepared, and suddenly hearing the news of the rout on the southern front like an accident, then he would be too passive.

"Could it be that before Huoyang Mountain won or lost, the general only stationed troops in Xingyang and watched the Liangzhou soldiers loot the people?"

Chen Qun felt powerless, could he only watch like this? Now it's Xingyang, and once the South Road battlefield is defeated, then Yingchuan will be next...... The Kwantung coalition army has more than 100,000 horses, not to mention attacking the western soldiers, can't even protect the people?

"Until the news of Sun Wentai's victory and defeat is returned, I will not send troops and horses to engage the enemy outside Xingyang City or even at Revolving Gate Pass." Yan Beicai didn't want to let his soldiers die, but he looked at Chen Qun with a sad face and smiled, "But I'm going to go on the expedition." ”

"Expedition? Where to sign? ”

Yan Bei didn't tell Chen Qun what he thought, raised his hand and wanted to pat Chen Qun's shoulder, but he stretched out halfway but lost weight again, and walked down the city with a complacent expression on his face.

In the next few days, the scouts who watched Xingyang by the Liangzhou soldiers were a little confused. They watched as Cao Cao's soldiers and horses continued to tour along the Yellow River to Xingyang, as if they were looking for traces of the Liangzhou soldiers who had plundered the people.

In fact, Yanbei had already stationed 4,000 soldiers under Cao Cao into Xingyang City, and personally led Zhao Yun and Jiao Touch to the north along the Yellow River.

Guo Aduo...... I'm coming!
