Lu Bu, the god of war in the rebirth of the Three Kingdoms

(First update~)

In the early morning of May in the first year of Zhongping, when the morning light was slightly dew, after a day and night march of the Dong Lianjun, they still continued to walk firmly on the road westward to Luoyang.

This trip, they have no enemies, even if Dong Zhuojun gets stuck in their logistics, so what?

The consumption of the 20 troops is indeed very large, and because of the inconsistent military orders, their marching speed is very slow and the efficiency is very poor. It is impossible to rush to Luoyang as soon as possible. Basically, all the things that can be called around (actually equivalent to looting) are cleared, and they are directly cleared. This makes them very depressed, but it does not make them despair.

Everyone knows that this situation is difficult, but it is a victory if you survive it. You must know that the distance from Hulaoguan to Luoyang will reach Gong County in less than two days even if they are marching at such a slow speed.

Moreover, Yuan Shao also specially thought of a way, he secretly sent his cronies to find some carts covered under the black cloth, and said to the public that this was the food reserves, enough for their army to consume, but he kept controlling the quantity, This is a bit of "later" Cao Cao's effect of letting his men look forward to plum blossoms and quench their thirst.

Because of this strategy, Yuan Shao's impression in the hearts of the princes has also gained a certain amount of points and recovery, but what he fears most will come. At this time, the coalition army has not marched more than one mile, and the vanguard Shangdang prefect The news of what happened to Zhang Yang's troops in Gong County was disastrous, but suddenly the coalition forces came to their senses.

Guarding Gong County, it was Xu Rong, a Xiliang general. He used [-] Xiliang cavalry to smash the publicity on the battlefield. One-on-four, the coalition army suffered a disastrous defeat in the first round, only half of them escaped, and when Zhang Yang's defeated soldiers came back, they even brought back the news that Hulao Pass had been captured by Dong Zhuojun.

If it is said that the vanguard defeated Gong County, it can also be said that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and whether it is princes, generals or ordinary soldiers, they all believe that their army is definitely not something that Dong Zhuojun can stop; then there is no doubt that this The revelation of the latter news was the most serious blow to the coalition forces. Obviously, Li Ru had long thought that the princes of the coalition forces would block the news, so he used this method to severely expose the scars of the coalition forces.

Everyone knows what this means, because the military rations brought by the coalition forces are not enough to consume the 20 troops, so this means that their logistics will be cut off directly. In this case, unless they return to capture Hulao Pass and food— — This situation is directly ruled out, and no one would be foolish enough to make this choice; while the other situation is to speed up the march and advance westward with efficiency until Luoyang is captured and Dong Zhuo is completely defeated.

But in the latter case, it is not so easy to be honest, especially now that the coalition forces are already panicking. You can turn it around just by saying that this is really an enemy trick?In particular, Yuan Shao's tricks were exposed by some crazy coalition soldiers after the news came out, causing those generals to suffer a certain crisis of trust. This time is really troublesome, and if it is not handled well, there may even be a camp scream.

In addition, there is another news that Dong Zhuojun almost threw peaches at the west gate of Hulao Pass and rewarded them with Li. He also cut off the heads of those Cao Jun corpses and piled them into Jingguan in response to the previous coalition forces. same means.

Of course, the coalition forces did not achieve any effect before, and even if there was any reaction, they were suppressed by Li Ru and Lu Bu; but now it is different when Dong Zhuojun is dealing with the coalition forces, because it is the Li Ru and Lu Bu, the "most despicable and shameless" (Yuan Shaoyu) in Dong Zhuo's army, also caused a great shock in the coalition army. Optimistic, pessimistic even more pessimistic, as if all of a sudden the prospects were covered with a thick layer of gray, no one can say what the coalition forces can do in this situation.

It can only be said that the coalition forces were too impatient to leave Hulao Pass before, and did not carefully ensure the safety of Hulao Pass in their hands. This lack of attention is the main reason for such failure. This is a decision-making power sin.

In addition, the estimate of the way forward is also too optimistic, which is another main reason why the luggage and rations are not enough, because they have not even carefully considered the difficulties that may be encountered along the way. It has been exposed in the battle of Cao Cao, so they are obviously not incapable of fighting, but the princes of the coalition army have selectively ignored it, and Xu Rong's move is undoubtedly a blow to them, telling them that even if they move forward The road will never be smooth sailing. Is it true that Dong Zhuojun is gone?

And the princes thought about it again, thinking of the Hulao Pass in the rear, and the thorn of Xu Rong in the front. Thinking about it this way, that is to say, now Dong Zhuojun has actually completed the coalition forces that are several times their number. A perfect double-team, which is really incredible, but it is true.

I have to say that when they first got the news, the princes themselves were in chaos. Some time ago, they were already flustered enough because of the news of the annihilation of Cao Cao and the death of Zhang Miao, such as Wang Kuang and Bao Xin. Had a nightmare, the former always dreamed that he was stabbed to death by Dong Zhuo's sword, which reminded him of the Guiyou banquet, but the latter thought of Bao Zhong, whose younger brother died tragically under Hua Xiong's hands. Small but the psychological pressure is too great.

They had such a lot of pressure, but they didn't have enough motivation to support it, which made the coalition forces come to a standstill, especially under the blow of a series of shocking news. Although they moved forward again, their speed was too slow , there is no doubt that the troops of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. are walking relatively steadily, and the morale of the army is relatively uniform, but the other relatively weaker ones such as Kong Rong, Wang Kuang, Zhang Chao and others are obviously suspected of holding back. From a formal point of view, the coalition forces are almost in danger of falling apart.

It's just that they have almost no choice now, it is impossible to retreat, and it is difficult to move forward, but at least there is hope, right?

And it was the hope of the coalition forces, and their march, that brought tremendous pressure to Gong County, or now it should be said to be Yanshi.

The guards of Yanshi are Yang Ding and Li Su, but they are not the only ones who are in charge of commanding here at this time, there is also Xu Rong who rationally retreated from Gong County. Teaming up with Xu Rong is both offensive and defensive, and it is not easy to fall into the trap. If it is sitting on a strong pass like Hulao, with a few more troops under its command, and the logistics can be guaranteed, it will drag the coalition army outside for several months. Not impossible.

It’s just that the current situation is a bit difficult. Even if the vanguard of the coalition army was defeated by the weak and the strong, this kind of battle is not so easy to replicate. There are many influencing factors. After all, the Bingzhou cavalry, which is essentially flamboyant, is not much weaker than the Xiliang cavalry. .

And Yanshi's city defense is much more stubborn than that of Gong County, which is why Xu Rong directly made a choice.
