Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 524
Dong Zhuo looked at this appalling scene, he didn't say a word for a long time, just stood there in a daze, no one dared to approach him, the generals looked at each other, and finally, their gazes focused on Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong was probably the only one who dared to stand beside him. To bother Dong Zhuo at such a time, Hua Xiong met everyone's eyes, still a little puzzled in his heart, what are these guys doing looking at me?
Xu Huang on the side pushed him and pointed at Dong Zhuo.

Hua Xiong looked at him for a moment, then turned his head to look at Guan Yu, and asked, "What do they mean?"

Guan Yu looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Stand still."

Hua Xiong felt that this fellow would definitely not harm him, so he ignored everyone's eyes and stood beside Guan Yu, not knowing what he was talking to. At this moment, Jia Xu walked up, and he walked up to Dong Zhuo's. Beside him, he heard Dong Zhuo's heavy panting, and the endless anger seemed to be kneaded into a ball, which was about to explode at some point, which was really scary.

"Dong Gong, I am just like you. I am also angry for this and mourn for these soldiers." Jia Xu said, he paused for a moment, and then said: "However, now Dong Gong is the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief must take care of himself." Take care of the overall situation, endure resentment, and defeat the enemy"

"Hehe." Dong Zhuo sneered, and he said, "I want to pursue, I want to capture King Guishuang, and burn him alive together with his generals."

Jia Xu sighed. The last thing he expected to happen still happened. Now, the war is going well. From Sogdian to Huacizimo, the Han army has wiped out more than 3 Guishuang soldiers. Up to now, the Guishuang King The army under his command has less than 2 people, and the morale of the army is slackened, and they retreat again and again. As long as the Han army can advance a little more, Jia Xu can be sure that King Guishuang will definitely send someone to negotiate a peace.

At that time, I will be able to seize Sogdia and Huacizimo from Guishuang's mouth, and connect them with Kangju and Shule in the Western Regions. To carry out trade and so on, strengthen the management of these two regions, and even win Daxia in the future, and annex all the northern part of Guishuang, but if Dong Zhuo pursues it wholeheartedly, I am afraid that the two countries will never be able to negotiate a peace.

The tens of thousands of expeditionary troops are constantly chasing and reaching the enemy's core area. The transportation of food, grass and luggage will become more difficult, and it may even be interrupted. In this case, if the front line is extended to Daxia, something big will happen!
What's more, the continuation of the war has brought extremely serious trauma to the northwestern region of the Han Dynasty. It has even affected Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou and other places. The northwest region has been sending cotton crops to the whole country. These areas failed to get enough supplies for the winter from the Northwest, and trade between the states was disrupted, with growing ramifications.

Since Emperor Xiaokang conquered Xianbei, this war was considered the largest war in the past few decades. More than 4 people from the Northern and Southern Army, the most elite standing army of the Han Dynasty, rushed to the battlefield, and more than 20 civilians were constantly transporting in the rear. Food and grass, plus nearly [-] auxiliary soldiers provided by the Northwest and the Western Regions. These people are responsible for cooking, transporting livestock and other work.

To be honest, Jia Xu is still a very selfish person. He doesn't care how much harm this war will bring. It was his hometown that was destroyed, and he didn't care. However, not caring didn't mean he could ignore the officials in the temple.

Because of the huge trauma caused by the war, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were fully opposed to the war. Even the doctor Yushi almost died in the temple, and his death remonstrance touched the emperor very much. Therefore, the emperor once Order to let him end this war earlier.

Now seeing Dong Zhuo burning with anger, Jia Xu felt a headache.

"Dong Gong, this revenge must be avenged, but now the war is going well, we are so slow, the Guishuang army is about to be driven out of Huacizimo by us, this battle will definitely be victorious, but Dong Gong If we are blinded by anger and rush to attack regardless of the overall situation, I'm afraid it will lead to a change in the battle. We are not familiar with the front and we don't say whether we will encounter an ambush. Even if we want to find the location of King Guishuang, it will not be easy. ah!"

Dong Zhuo didn't reply, he laughed, showing his white teeth, and said: "Look for the prisoners of war, let them lead the way, they must be familiar with the surrounding terrain, tie them up, let them walk in the forefront, I will find Guishuang King's"

"Dong Gong, as a commander in chief, how can he mislead the three armies because of his own selfishness?"

Dong Zhuo turned around, looked at the many generals below, and asked, "Do you think this revenge should be avenged?"

"Should!!!"

Everyone roared, Dong Zhuo nodded, looked at Jia Xu, and said, "This is not my own selfishness, this is the wish of the three armies." He clenched his fists as he said, "I am the one who caused the destruction of the Valiant Camp. However, I will never condone such blood hatred, I will personally lead the army, take the lead, and capture King Guishuang alive." Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He suddenly looked aside and shouted: "The whole army is here to prepare for battle. Today, we will rush to attack the enemy and capture King Guishuang alive!!"

"Catch Guishuang King alive!!"

Hearing the roar, Dong Zhuo nodded. Jia Xu, who was at the side, got a little anxious. He pulled Dong Zhuo aside and said in a low voice, "Mr. Dong, don't do this. We are already going to win, and within fifteen days On this day, King Guishuang will definitely send someone to negotiate a peace. He can't hold on any longer. The army has been broken up by us many times. The winner and loser will only be decided in these few days. At this time, I hope Dong Gong can bear it for a while."

"Dong Gong, as long as the war is settled, we will be able to own these two regions. After a few years of cultivation, when the two sides go to war again, it will be the time for Guishuang to perish. If Dong Gong rashly fights today, it will be a gift to the enemy. Opportunity!"

Dong Zhuo frowned and didn't pay attention to Jia Xu's words. Jia Xu had no choice but to say: "Mr. Dong, after the victory, you will be the Taiwei. If you insist on doing this, Taiwei I'm afraid I won't have a chance with Mr. Dong."

"Taiwei, Taiwei, go to his mother's thief!!"

"Young man, just keep sitting!!" Dong Zhuo stared into Jia Xu's eyes and roared angrily.

The whole army rested here for a while, Dong Zhuo sent people to find the prisoners of war, ordered them to open the way ahead, and took them to the camp of King Guishuang. These were not ordinary prisoners of war, they were generals of Guishuang, most of them were They were nobles, and when they heard Dong Zhuo's order, they all bowed their heads and said nothing, unwilling to lead the way. Dong Zhuo didn't hesitate, he drew his sword and chopped down seven or eight of them. The rest were terrified and quickly agreed.

On that day, Dong Zhuo personally led the most elite cavalry of the Han army, nearly 6000 people, with Guan Yu, Hua Xiong, Xu Huang and others as generals, to raid the enemy's territory. The main force remained in the camp, led by Huang Zhong and Jia Xu. At the same time, Dong Zhuo ordered the Colonel Shuluntai to send troops to the rear of the enemy to attack together. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo also gave Sun Jian an order to cross the river with Cao Cao and fight against Daxia.

For a while, the Han army suddenly launched a general offensive.

Under the leadership of Huang Zhong, the main force rushed towards the cities in the eastern part of Huacizimo, and destroyed them one by one. However, due to Dong Zhuo's order, Huang Zhong no longer adopted the previous policy of being soft when dealing with these cities. , very tyrannical, according to what Dong Zhuo said, this is called an eye for an eye!The cavalry led by Dong Zhuo rushed all the way to King Guishuang's camp.

After receiving Dong Zhuo's order, the school captain of the Western Regions did not dare to disobey, and sent troops from Kang Juguo to attack Huacizimo back and forth.

At present, the king of Guishuang was shocked, and there were constant reports from all over the country. First of all, the news of the fall of the eastern city of Huacizimo. The cities in the eastern part of the river were basically captured by Huang Zhong. Even the Han army adopted very cruel siege warfare and no longer surrounded them.
At the same time, he received the news of Kangju dispatching troops. What surprised King Guishuang was that the two groups of troops treated Guishuang soldiers and people completely differently from before, and the people were better. As long as the soldiers in the battle fall into the hands of the Han army, none of them will survive. King Guishuang believes that this is the pressure of the Han army and wants him to leave the Huacizimo area, and he is not very panicked.

However, when he received the news that the Han army had landed in Daxia, he was really afraid. Daxia, that is, on the other side of Sogdia, is the retreat route for King Guishuang back south, and it is also the only retreat route. He can only pass through the territory of Anxi, but will Anxi allow him to lead his army through it?I don't want to know this, seeing that the Han army wanted to cut off his retreat, King Guishuang was really panicked.

Could it be that the general of the Han army is crazy, he wants to besiege his remaining 3 people in the north and wipe them all out? ?

King Guishuang immediately summoned the peasants from the local area, and mobilized the local nobles, and asked him to take out military equipment, food and grass, and prepare it. He quickly led the army back to the Daxia area. He didn't want to be besieged. Come on, there is the main force of the Han army in the north, and the Kangju army. It is not easy to go there. Only the south, only a lone army of the Han army, is fighting in Daxia.

As long as he can swallow this army, from the south to Lan's City, he can call up the southern army again and drive the Han army back. Such a large army, even the Han Dynasty, cannot gather again in a short period of time.

With this in mind, King Guishuang returned to the south. In Daxia, he encountered this army of the Han army. The number of this army was less than 5000. Instead, the attack was launched, and the two sides fought fiercely. Seeing the fierce soldiers attacking in front of their main flag again and again, King Guishuang's eyes were tearing apart! !

What kind of lunatics have I encountered? They are still attacking when nearly half of them are killed in battle. They want to kill me in the army! ! !

After two hours of fighting, the soldiers of Guishuang were extremely exhausted. The army returned to the city, leaving behind thousands of corpses. , failed to persist for half an hour, and on the other side, Sun Jian's army suffered huge damage. Sun Jian sat on the ground and ate the leg of lamb without wiping the blood from his face.

"Come on, Duke Cao!! Eat!!" Sun Jian said with a smile.

Cao Cao took the mutton leg he handed over, and bit it with big mouthfuls. If Sun Jian had disdain for this person before, now he regards him as a close friend. In the battle of more than 1000 slave soldiers, he always took the lead and shouted to capture the king of Guishuang alive. He saw the right time and made a surprise attack from the flank, almost leading someone to pull out the opponent's main flag.

It was also his surprise attack that forced King Guishuang to withdraw his troops and return to the city. Otherwise, Sun Jian really didn't know how long he could last.

In this battle, the Han army also suffered nearly half of the casualties, and less than 2000 people could stand and swing their spears.

This is a tough fight!
"It's coming too soon," Cao Cao said. He looked into the distance and said, "In less than two days, Dong Gong's army will be able to arrive here, attacking back and forth, King Guishuang will definitely die!!"

Sun Jian asked with some doubts: "What if Mr. Dong can't come?"

"Hahaha, without him, the only dead ear!!"

"Hahaha, Dashan!"
