Great Military Division

Chapter 166 The decision to move the capital, Dong Zhuo is domineering and angry at Huang Yang!
Luyang Camp.

Liu Bianjun.

Central Army, big tent.

In front of the sand table, Liu Bian and others gathered together.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's sudden change of generals, everyone was caught off guard.

Although Sun Jian disdained Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, it was Liu Bian who made the decision after all, and he could only wait for the final result.

"Report~~~"

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly there was a long sound from outside the tent.

Everyone looked up.

However, Deng Zhi, the military commander, hurried over, with a solemn expression, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have made a thorough investigation."

Liu Bian immediately waved his hand, signaling Deng Zhi to rearrange on the sand table: "What is Xu Rong's layout now?"

Historically, the description of the Battle of Liangdong is relatively simple, without specifics on how the game will be played, but only records the approximate time and results of the battle, which is actually of little reference value.

Now, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong switched defenses, which disrupted Liu Bian's original offensive rhythm. Although no opponent should be underestimated, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen have very different personalities, so naturally they will make adjustments in the layout.

Caution is the boat.

Therefore, Liu Bian sent Deng Zhi to find out the latest situation.

Deng Zhi picked up the red and blue flags from the side, pulled off the flags on the sand table one by one, and planted the flags according to the latest formation: "Thanks to your highness being cautious, otherwise we will definitely suffer in this battle."

huh~~~
When Deng Zhi finished planting the small flag according to the latest formation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Generals, Guangcheng Pass belongs to the boundary of Liang County administratively, and the county towns located to the east of Guancheng are less than ten miles away."

"The general has checked carefully. Xu Rong's main force is still deployed at Guangcheng Pass, and a troop is also deployed in Liang County. The strength of the troops is unknown for the time being, but the general found horse dung and horseshoe prints on the road, which proves that There must be cavalry."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sand table, and everyone frowned, secretly rejoicing that King Hongnong did not attack Guangcheng Pass according to the original plan, otherwise this battle would have a high probability of losing.

"This Xu Rong is indeed a general."

General Sun Jian held his fists in his arms, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The general thought that His Highness was too cautious in his actions before, but at this moment, His Highness is still more wise."

"Yes!"

Xun Yu sighed, and said with a twist: "Xu Rong is well versed in the art of war. With Guangcheng Pass and Liang County as the horns of each other, if our army storms Guangcheng Pass, Liang County's cavalry will surely copy our army's rear, and vice versa. .”

"Bo Miao~~"

Xun Yu turned his head to glance at Deng Zhi, and tried to ask, "Can you guess how many troops the opponent has?"

Deng Zhi frowned, and pondered for a moment: "Although I don't know how many soldiers there are, but judging from the traces on the land, there are probably no fewer than two thousand elite cavalry in Liang County."

"As for the infantry defending the city."

Deng Zhi shook his head after all, and sighed softly: "Please forgive me for being incompetent, I really can't guess."

Liu Bian said indifferently: "Bo Miao don't need to underestimate yourself, you have done well enough."

Deng Zhi cupped her hands: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Liu Bian glanced at the crowd, and said solemnly: "If you have any opinions, you can speak freely, don't worry about making mistakes, you have your own calculations in your heart."

"Your Highness!"

Immediately, Zhang Liao took a step forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "The general thinks that the key to breaking the horns is how to prevent his troops from attacking our army's rear."

"That's right!"

Xun Yu took a deep breath, and took the opportunity to say: "The strength of the horns is that the two sides provide reinforcements for each other, which can make the attackers fall into a state of being attacked by the enemy."

"If Liang County and Guangcheng Pass are dangerous to defend, our army can still concentrate most of our troops to attack one place, and a small number of troops to prevent the enemy from coming to help."

"but."

Difficulty was written on Xun Yu's face, and his brows were frowning: "Look, gentlemen, the distance between Liang County and Guangcheng Pass is only ten miles, and the road in the middle is flat, so there is no danger to defend."

"As long as the opponent's cavalry leaves the city, they can attack the rear of our army from any direction at will. At that time, whether it is cavalry charging into the formation or arrows attacking, it will be a great disaster for our army to storm Guangcheng Pass."

Sun Jian had participated in the crusade against Liangzhou before, so he naturally knew the role of cavalry in the war.

He nodded with great interest: "That's right, cavalry are fighting in the wilderness, they come and go like the wind, and they are as fast as thunder. If our army defends properly, it's fine. Once they find a breakthrough, they must cooperate with the inside and outside to break it in one fell swoop."

"pity."

Sun Jian squinted his steel teeth and looked up at Zhang Liao: "Our army has only 300 elite cavalry, and it is difficult to compete with the enemy's cavalry. Otherwise, General Wen Yuan can fight cavalry with cavalry to buy time for the army to attack."

"Cavalry versus cavalry?"

For such a tactic, Zhang Liao disdained it: "Even if our army has two thousand elite cavalry, or even more, Zhang will not adopt this kind of head-to-head tactic."

"Not to mention that the cavalry of the northern army are all elite, well-trained, and well-equipped. Even if our army's cavalry is superior in number, it may not be its opponent."

"Dong Zhuo is rich and powerful, so he doesn't feel sorry for the death of two cavalrymen, but our army's cavalrymen are all precious, and the death of even one makes Liao feel very sad. This kind of forceful battle is not what I want."

Zhang Liao is from Yanmen County.

There will be battles with Xianbei and Wuhuan all year round.

No one knows better than Zhang Liao the cost of raising war horses and training cavalry.

Of course, for cavalry tactics, it was also difficult for everyone present to hold a candle to them.

Liu Bian naturally heard the confidence in Zhang Liao's words: "Wen Yuan, what do you think, just put it bluntly, don't hide it."

Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, do you still remember that when you were in Nanyang, you gave the last general a map of the mandarin duck formation, and a strategy for cavalry and cavalry?"

"Could it be."

Liu Bian suddenly remembered the previous scene, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Does Wen Yuan have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Liao didn't dare to agree easily, so he could only express politely: "The general has some ideas in his mind, please give the general some time to prepare, and try to come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

Liu Bian was overjoyed and nodded: "I'll give you three days, you must come up with a strategy, and after discussing it with the generals, send someone to prepare the relevant equipment, how about it?"

Zhang Liao clasped his hands and cupped his fists: "The last general will go all out."

Xun Yu smiled lightly. He already knew Zhang Liao's ability: "Just now, Yuan Shu, Li Min and others are mobilizing ships. Maybe we can finish it at the same time. Then we can go forward together and break through the southern defense line of Luoyang."

What a coincidence, isn't it?
Liu Bian felt that it was reasonable, nodded slowly, and turned to look at Sun Jian: "Wentai."

Sun Jian hurriedly cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "The end is here."

Liu Bian said loudly: "I know that you are new here and eager to make contributions, but don't be impatient. When Li Min's ships are mobilized, there will be a day for you to make contributions!"

"but."

Liu Bian's voice was gentle, but sonorous and forceful, full of irresistible kingly aura: "If you can't take the city gate at that time, you will have to be served by the army alone, and you will never be tolerated."

Sun Jian was overjoyed, and his voice was loud and clear: "Your Highness, don't worry, if the last general can't take the city pass, he is willing to do it by military law."

The corners of Liu Bian's lips raised slightly: "Very good."

Sun Jian is a native of Wujun, Yangzhou, who is good at water warfare.

No one is more suitable than Sun Jian for the battle of going up the Yingshui River from Yingchuan and storming the Yuanguan Pass.

the next day.

Li Min, Yuan Shu, and Xu Qi were dispatching ships in Runan and Yingchuan.

Although most of them are merchant ships carrying cargo, they are enough for the battle situation.

After all, merchant ships are only means of transportation at best, and the real decision of victory or defeat depends on infantry attacking the city.

As for Liu Bian?

Together with Zhang Liao, he personally went to the front for reconnaissance.

Of course, the main reason is to convey the real topography to the experts of the Military Division Alliance, analyze the opponent's possible offensive strategy, and the countermeasures our army should have.

During the communication with Zhang Liao and the experts of the Military Division Alliance, Liu Bian gained a deeper understanding of ancient military warfare, as well as the methods and methods of combat.

Say it bluntly.

At present, Liu Bian's military quality, although not necessarily comparable to the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, is definitely not inferior to common generals, and it is possible to even rank among the second-rate generals.

"From Liang County to Guangcheng Pass is an open land, and there is no definite marching route, so the strategy of setting up an ambush and trapping cavalry is negated and cannot be used at all. We can only find a way behind the Guangcheng Pass army."

"Yes, I know."

"."

"The refusal gun is the simplest and most effective device to limit cavalry. As much as this thing can be made, we should hurry up and make as much as possible, and it will never be wasted."

"Don't worry, it's already arranged."

"."

"Spearmen restraining cavalry? Don't think too easily about the problem. The vitality of the horse is relatively tenacious. When the spear stabs the horse, it is difficult to kill the horse directly. At this time, the cavalry can still charge and fight!"

"Even, the wounded and frenzied war horse will form a more terrifying impact in a short period of time. In addition, the infantry's defense ability will generally be worse than that of the cavalry. In terms of the battle damage ratio alone, the infantry's casualties are actually more high."

"The reason why it is said that spearmen restrain cavalry is actually from the perspective of cost. Whether it is feeding cost or training cost, cavalry is much higher than infantry. Even if one cavalry is exchanged for several infantry, it is not cost-effective."

"I see!"

"."

"In fact, in a sense, the cavalry strategy relies heavily on equipment. It is more like a small fortress tactic that restricts the mobility of the cavalry and then counterattacks. Most of the cavalry in history This is the trick."

"Been taught a lesson."

"."

three full days.

Zhang Liao's preliminary plan was released.

After intense discussions among civil and military personnel, a simple modification was made, and it was finalized immediately.

Next, according to the final plan, Xun Yu and Tang Xiang searched for various weapons, shields, and related materials throughout the army, and at the same time sent people to cut trees to make the missing equipment in the plan.

However.
Just as Liu Bian was preparing to attack Guangchengguan.

Sili, Luoyang.

The majestic palace, the Chongde Hall.

Under the bead curtain crown, Liu Xie bent his body, as if he was bent over by the heavy crown.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly. Although he was the Ninth Five Supreme, he didn't have the slightest majesty.

Below it, the burly Dong Zhuo paced back and forth in the hall with the sharp sword in his waist, his ferocious eyes swept across the civil and military officials from time to time, frightening all the civil and military officials to hang their heads and feathers, trembling with fear.

Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

The entire Chongde Hall was so quiet that one could even hear the heartbeats of the officials.

After a long time, Dong Zhuocai stopped in the hall and slammed the long sword around his waist on the floor.

Manchu civil and military shuddered in unison, and leaned back in a muffled sound of fright.

"Humph~~"

Dong Zhuo snorted lightly.

really!

Violence is the most effective way to deal with these literati who are full of benevolence and morality.

That's right, in the past, labor and management wanted to integrate into your circle, but you didn't give face.

OK!

Labor and capital gave up.

Since you don't accept me, Dong Zhuo, we can only follow our own rules.

Dong Zhuo glanced at all the civil and military personnel, and said loudly: "Last night, I watched the stars at night and found Ziwei Star going west. I felt that the sky was warning. Luoyang, the capital of Eastern Han, has been in decline for more than two hundred years."

"Since the way of heaven is prosperous in the west, the truth is that we should obey the will of heaven and the hearts of the people, and serve the luck of the west to conform to the way of heaven. You should hurry up and get on your way as soon as possible."

Boom~~
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Straight to the civil and military thunder of the Manchu Dynasty.

All the ministers were stunned like thunder and lightning, each of them was dumbfounded and horrified.

Especially Shanggong Taifu Yuan Kai's eyes were like bells, and his heart was shocked.

Move the capital?

This old dog Dong Zhuo really dared to think.

He actually wanted to rely on moving the capital to avoid the sharp edge of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

You must know that moving the capital is a matter of great importance, and it will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public, and panic among the people.

Obviously, Dong Zhuo dared to risk the disgrace of the world, and he must be preparing to fight to the death with the Kwantung Allied Forces.

"What should I do?"

Yuan Kai's mind was like lightning, and he fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Situ Yang Biao boldly took a step forward: "Prime Minister, Guanzhong is dilapidated and scattered. Donating the ancestral temple for no reason and abandoning the imperial mausoleum will surely alarm the people. It is easy to move the world, and difficult to secure it. I hope the prime minister thinks twice."

"Ok?"

Dong Zhuo stared angrily, and slowly turned his head to glance at Yang Biao.

Sen Leng's murderous aura instantly enveloped the other party, even the surrounding officials couldn't help being stunned.

However.
However, Yang Biao still stood like a green pine, facing the fierce Dong Zhuo, not afraid of swords and threats, and once again sonorously advised: "I implore the prime minister, think twice before acting for the people of the world."

Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted sharply: "Yang Situ, do you want to block the truth?"

Say it.

The long sword leaning on the floor was slowly lifted by Dong Zhuo, and the sharp edge of the sword was pointed at Yang Biao. The fierce murderous aura caused all the civil and military soldiers around Yang Biao to change their colors and avoid them, fearing that they would hurt themselves.

Just when Yang Biao was about to exhale and speak, not far from his side, another Taiwei Huang Wan took a step: "Prime Minister, I think Yang Situ is very reasonable."

"In the past, Wang Mang usurped the rebellion and burned Chang'an at the time of the red eyebrows, turning it into a land of rubble. Moreover, the people were displaced, and there was no one left. It is not wise to abandon the palace and use the wasteland today."

"Ok?"

Dong Zhuo became more angry, turned his head to look at Huang Wan, and replied sharply: "Now the rats in the Kanto region are in chaos, bringing disaster to Luoyang, and Chang'an is in danger of Weihan, and it is closer to Longyou. Wood, stone, bricks and tiles can be completed in a few days, and the palace will be built. It doesn't take more than a month."

"But."

"Nothing but!"

Dong Zhuo stared and shouted sharply: "The truth has been decided, so you don't need to say anything!"

Yang Biao said aggressively, "Moving the capital is a major event for the country, and it is up to His Majesty to decide."

Dong Zhuo was furious: "Your Majesty is young, and this prime minister will make the decision for you!"

Huang Wan said again: "Moving the capital is a big deal, and it will definitely cause commotion among the people!"

Dong Zhuo pouted his steel teeth: "The truth is for the sake of the world, why should we spare the common people!"

"Your Majesty~~~"

Before Yang Biao and Huang Wan could open their mouths, Dong Zhuo interrupted again: "Your Majesty, Yang Biao and Huang Wan's crime of obstructing the country's great plan is unforgivable. Please tell the truth, Your Majesty, depose these two people and demote them to common people!"

Liu Xie trembled in fright: "Just what Prime Minister Yiyi said."
