Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 606 The Death of Dong Cheng
"Brother, let's attack the city!" After a long time, Ma Yuan sighed helplessly.

Ma Shanwei and Ma Kui had just lost the battle, and the morale of the army was damaged. It stands to reason that at this time, they should withdraw their troops first, and repair them first, so that they can fight again in the future.If the siege is forced at this time, the losses will inevitably be much higher.

However, today is different from the past, Yuzhong, they have to attack, if they can't attack Yuzhong, get through the connection with Han Sui, then when Bai Qi's troops arrive later, Han Sui will be cold.

At that time, the princes of Liangzhou's three routes will lose their first route at the beginning of the battle. How will they, who are already weak, resist the attack of Li Xiang's army.

Moreover, as a general, one should know oneself and the enemy. Ma Yuan has already learned about Su Lie and Su Lie's past achievements through various channels.But I have to say that when it comes to leading the army, Ma Yuan doesn't have the absolute confidence to beat Su Lie.

Ma Yuan didn't believe that after Su Lie sent troops to capture Yuzhong and Yunwu, he had no other arrangements and would let them attack Yuzhong like this.

Therefore, Ma Yuan knew that their time was actually very limited, and they had to capture the city in front of them as soon as possible.If it takes a long time, I'm afraid they won't have another chance.Su Lie and the others can afford to delay this battle, but Ma Teng and the others cannot.

……

Tongguan!

Li Xiang's [-] troops had already left Hangu and arrived at Tongguan Pass, but they did not launch an attack hastily. Instead, they set up a large camp and quietly confronted the defenders in the pass.

During the battle against Dong, although Dong Zhuo indirectly withdrew from the Alliance for Disputing Dong by moving his capital to Chang'an, after the series of battles came to an end, Dong Zhuo was already full of vitality, with only over 20 troops left.

After Dong Zhuo's death, in the battle to carve up Dong Zhuo's inheritance, Yang Jian was located in Yongzhou and was the first to gain the upper hand. Naturally, he took the lead. The 14 in Liangzhou belonged to Fu Jian.

Since then, neither of the two men has expanded their military, but only retained the existing scale.Although Guanzhong is a fertile land, it has been abandoned for a long time after all, and it has been ruined by Dong Zhuo for a while. It is a time when all kinds of wastes are waiting for prosperity. It is already very difficult to raise an army of 14. I can't hold on anymore.

As for Liangzhou, let alone, although Liangzhou's people are tough and its soldiers are powerful, this place is really poor, and Liangzhou's poverty is one of the best among the Han states.

What's more, Fu Jian only has half of Liangzhou in his hands.Even if he only raised the [-] troops, it would be much more difficult for Fu Jian than Yang Jian.

Moreover, Yang Jian and Fu Jian are different from Dong Zhuo. They are not short-sighted people and know the importance of the people and their livelihood.They will not turn a blind eye to the livelihood of the people under their rule like Dong Zhuo, blindly expand the army, regardless of the life and death of the people.

Therefore, although Li Xiang had already led an army of [-] to Tongguan, he did not launch a battle to attack key points!After all, Yang Jian not only has a firm in hand, if Yang Jian mobilizes all his troops, Li Xiang may suffer a little more in terms of strength.

In this case, if he really wanted to storm Tongguan, he might not be able to break through Tongguan, the most important pass in the world, even if he wiped out all the [-] troops under his command.

Li Xiang is now just constantly using the catapult to consume the soldiers in Tongguan every day, or occasionally pretending to feign an attack, which can be more or less effective.

In addition, Li Xiang just sent generals to challenge. Anyway, he has two peak generals, Xing Tian and Li Cunxiao, on his side, so there will be no problems in terms of force.

At the same time, Li Xiang stationed troops here to contain Yang Jian's troops. It was time to attack Yang Jian after Bai Qi, Su Lie and the others settled Liangzhou.

Among the various forces in Liangzhou, there may be unexpected factors. The Qiang army has been severely injured by Su Lie before and suffered heavy losses. It is unlikely that they will join the war again.

For the rest, Ma Teng had 14 troops, Han Sui had 17 troops, and Fu Jian had more, with [-] troops, for a total of [-] soldiers.With Bai Qi and Su Lie's abilities, they have a total of [-] infantry and cavalry. With the superior force, it is naturally not difficult for them to win this battle.

Although Li Xiang had already led the army to gather at Tongguan, Yang Jian did not hurry to Tongguan, but only mobilized a group of reinforcements to Tongguan, bringing the total strength of Tongguan to [-].

Yang Jian is also very clear now that the most dangerous place is not Tongguan, but Liangzhou, which does not belong to his territory.If Liangzhou is gone, then Yongzhou, which is caught between two sides, can continue to exist for a few more days.

Thinking of the clothing belt edict that Li Xiang mentioned when he dispatched troops, Yang Jian felt angry for a while.Things have developed to this day, and Yang Jian still can't figure out the relationship between Yi Dai Zhao and Dong Cheng.

Now Yang Jian can't wait to dig out Dong Cheng from the ground and kill him again.

At the beginning, when Lu Zhao was killed, Dong Cheng thought that the plan of asking Liu Yan to lead troops to serve the king had failed, and worried that if the Yidai Zhao fell into the hands of Yang Jian, Yang Jian would take the lead in attacking them.

In desperation, these people made foolish tricks one after another, planning to take advantage of the wedding day of Yang Jian's youngest son, Yang Liang, to lead the army to attack and kill Yang Jian, doing that act of ruining the boat.

The power available to Dong Cheng and the others is only a few hundred people. Even counting the servants and servants in their mansion, it is at most less than a thousand people. In the hands of Yang Jian who is holding the emperor to make the princes What big waves are coming.

What's more, Yang Jian had already sent people to buy off a lot of people in the house like Dong Cheng. Before their plan officially started, Yang Jian had already received the news.Therefore, it was an operation doomed to failure.

However, the five people Dong Cheng, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, and Wu Shuo were really hard-headed and hard-spoken. After being caught by Yang Jian, they insisted that this was all planned by themselves, and they refused to reveal it until their death. About the little emperor Liu Xie and Yi Dai Zhao.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jian must not have known about the clothing belt edict before, and was caught off guard by Li Xiang with this clothing belt edict.

Fortunately, Yang Jian's reaction was not slow. As soon as Li Xiang's call for thieves and the clothes belt edict were released, Yang Jian immediately beat him up, claiming that this was the coercive edict of Dong Cheng and others and Li Xiang, and forced the little emperor Liu Xie to come out for him. rectification of name.

By doing so, Yang Jian quickly stabilized the hearts of the people within his own faction.As for how the outside world will comment on this matter, Yang Jian can't take care of it for the time being. Anyway, as long as he refuses to admit it, there will be no conclusion on this matter.
