Great Military Division

Chapter 213 Cao Cao: Although there are many allied forces, the only ones who really plan for the world are you and me!
Sili, Luoyang.

The night was dark and the bonfires were burning.

Bi Guiyuan.

Dong Zhuo came back at night, dismounted from his horse, threw the reins to the soldiers, and went straight to the army.

At this moment, Li Ru had just arranged to retire from the army, just as the curtain was raised, Dong Zhuo walked in quickly, and he hurried to meet him: "Prime Minister, you are back."

Dong Zhuo's face was slightly stiff, and there was anger in his brows: "How about the team that raided the capital warehouse?"

Li Ru hurriedly explained: "I sent General Dong Min to intercept and kill in the direction of Anlin, and it almost succeeded."

Dong Zhuo frowned: "Almost succeeded?"

Li Ru nodded: "Well, the opponent broke through the siege and fled back to Dagu Pass."

Snapped!
Dong Zhuo slapped Shuai's case angrily, his eyes widened angrily: "How many cavalry does the thief have? Can he actually break through the encirclement of our army?"

Li Ru was ashamed, and his throat rolled: "It should be less than a thousand riders."

"A thousand riders?"

Dong Zhuo became even more angry, and stared like a bell: "What does he, Dong Min, eat? He is several times stronger than the enemy, and he can actually let the thief escape?"

Li Ru bowed and said softly: "Prime Minister, although the number of this cavalry is small, they are all elite and powerful. According to General Dong, they can all ride and shoot, and they fight with spears in both hands. They are brave and invincible."

"Ok?"

Dong Zhuo, who was still angry a second ago, was surprised at this moment.

He stared at Li Ru, and said in disbelief, "Everyone can ride and shoot? And fight with spears in both hands?"

Dong Zhuo, who is proficient in cavalry combat, naturally knows the significance of riding and shooting, and fighting with spears in both hands.

After all, even in Xiliang Xiaoqi's team, there are not many elites who can ride and shoot and fight with spears in both hands. Even if they hold spears in both hands, it is only an occasional move or two, and it can never be like this all the time.

"Yes."

Li Ru nodded affirmatively, and also frowned: "I thought General Dong was lying, but after sending someone to investigate secretly, I learned that this cavalry squad is indeed fighting with spears in both hands."

"If it weren't for our army's absolute superiority in numbers, the opponent might not have broken through, but a decisive battle. Even so, our army would have damaged more than a thousand cavalry."

hiss-!
Dong Zhuo was astonished.

Although he always felt incredible, Li Ru had no reason to deceive him because of Dong Min.

In other words, the matter must be real.

but
Dong Zhuo stared and fell into deep thought: "King Hongnong's team has only been formed for half a year at most. How could he have trained such a capable cavalry?"

Li Ru shook his head: "I don't know."

Dong Zhuo asked anxiously, "Have you caught any prisoners?"

Li Ru continued to shake his head: "No."

"No?"

"Well, no."

"Damn!"

Dong Zhuo scolded angrily, and immediately ordered: "This matter must be investigated in detail. Even if King Hongnong is good at riding and fighting, he can't be better than my Xiliang Xiaoqi. This army must be different."

Li Ruyi bowed: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will investigate in detail, but now, you should hurry up and retreat to Chang'an. Tomorrow morning, the thief will definitely do his best to kill Chang'an."

How could Dong Zhuo not know the danger of Luo Yang, but he still had lingering fears: "Where is Feng Xian? Has he come back?"

Li Ru shook his head: "Not yet."

"Will he accept such an arrangement?"

"probably not."

Naturally, Li Ru had expected it, and said softly: "I heard that the wolf cavalry also suffered heavy losses. More than half of the cavalry was lost. I'm afraid there will be complaints after they are left behind in Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo nodded humbly: "Well, let's add some troops to him to make him feel at ease."

Li Ru frowned: "But, where do we come from?"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "I transfer half of my bodyguards to him. When I was in Luoyang, Fengxian was my bodyguard. Everyone in the bodyguards obeys him, so there will be no problem."

"This"

Li Ru naturally knew that Dong Zhuo was considering the overall situation, so he could only nod his head and promise: "Since it is Prime Minister Chrysostom, then we will arrange it like this."

"Li Ru!"

"You bastard!"

At this moment, there was a sound of cursing outside the tent.

It's Lu Bu.

Li Ru and Dong Zhuo judged immediately.

The two looked at the military tent together.

However, when the curtain was raised, Lv Bu rushed towards him with a sword in his hand.

But when Lu Bu watched Dong Zhuo sitting on the head, the fierce look on his face immediately dropped by seven points.

He hastily retracted his sword and returned it to its sheath, and stepped forward: "Prime Minister."

Dong Zhuo stared at Lu Bu: "Fengxian, you are so majestic!"

"Prime Minister, I."

"Do you not accept this arrangement?"

"Don't dare!"

Lv Bu timidly cupped his hands: "The general just thinks that our army suffered heavy losses at the Dagu Pass. With such strength, I'm afraid it won't be of any use to defeat you, the prime minister."

Before Dong Zhuo could speak, Li Ru said softly, "General Lu, how can the Prime Minister not know your difficulties, he has transferred half of his personal guards to you to strengthen your strength."

"what?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to stare at Dong Zhuo: "Prime Minister, I...I...I don't know."

Dong Zhuo glared at Lv Bu angrily, "You just came back to the camp, and it's convenient for the Chinese army to yell outside their tents, how would you know?"

Lu Bu knew that he was too reckless, so he hurriedly apologized: "It's the last general who was reckless, and I hope the prime minister will punish him."

"Punishment?"

Dong Zhuo sighed: "Get up, and make meritorious deeds. You must stop King Hongnong, and don't let him advance an inch. Li Jue, Guo Si and others will assist you, so you can rest assured."

Lu Bu clasped his hands together and said, "The last general takes orders."

"All right."

Dong Zhuo got up slowly, bypassing Shuaian: "Wen You, let's go first, leave this place to Feng Xian."

Li Ru bowed: "No."

Lu Bu cupped his hands: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister."

Before going out of the tent, Dong Zhuo stopped: "Remember, it is good to use soldiers. The cavalry under King Hongnong's tent is different. If you can capture his general alive, you must find out the secret from his mouth."

Lu Bu naturally doubted this.

He nodded and nodded: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will remember it in the end."

Immediately.

Dong Zhuo stepped out of the tent and led the team all the way west.

Not long after, General Song Xian went straight to the Chinese army, with surprise in his eyes: "My lord, the prime minister actually transferred the personal guards into our army, do you know about this?"

Lu Bu looked indifferent, nodded slowly: "Yes, I know."

Song Xian couldn't believe it: "My lord, then let's go."

Lu Bu interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Lead the troops to stay in Luoyang, and cut off the rear for the army."

Song Xian sighed: "It turned out to be like this."

Lu Bu knew that Song Xian and the others were unhappy, but he also had no choice: "No matter what, the prime minister still cares about us, otherwise how could he give half of the guards to me to lead."

"so."

Lu Bu immediately ordered: "Send out scouts quickly, especially in the direction of Daguguan. Be sure to do a good job of reconnaissance. Once there is news, report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes."

Song Xian cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "No."

*****
at the same time.

Sishui Pass, five miles outside the pass.

Allied camp.

Central Army, big tent.

In the past two days, Cao Cao clearly felt that the difficulty of storming Sishui Pass had doubled.

Xiliang Xiao's general Hu Zhen seemed to be a different person, fighting desperately and fearlessly, which was far from the original comparison.

Although it makes sense logically, Cao Cao always felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, he needs to make corresponding adjustments to the recent siege.

Fortunately, the princes are still cooperative, and Cao Cao has certain confidence in conquering Sishui Pass.

Just as he was arranging for tomorrow's siege.

suddenly.

"Report—!"

There was a long sound from outside the tent.

Look up.

The curtain was raised, and a soldier rushed into the tent, with a slightly nervous expression, cupped his hands and said: "General, something is wrong, the information is sent back from Hanoi, the leader was defeated and fled, and he is currently resting in Huai County."

Boom!

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

The princes who directly blew up the entire military tent.

Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang County, was the first to be unable to sit still. He stood up, his eyes full of horror: "What did you say? The leader has already lost? How long has it been, how is it possible?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, showed a terrified look: "How did the leader lose? Heyangjin and Mengjinguan are across the river. With such terrain conditions, how can they be defeated so easily."

All the princes suddenly boiled over, discussing in a hurry:
"As the lord of the alliance, Yuan Shao was defeated so quickly with a heavy army in his hands?"

"What happened in the direction of Heyangjin? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this."

"If the leader of the alliance is defeated, it will inevitably affect the three armies, and we will definitely be implicated."

"I really can't believe that Yuan Shao lost so quickly."

"Damn!"

"."

At the same time, Cao Cao finally understood why the difficulty of attacking the city had doubled in the past two days.

It must be because Dong Zhuo personally sits at Sishuiguan, so Hu Zhen will naturally do his best to fight fiercely.

Damn Yuan Shao!
Even Cao Cao himself could not help but secretly slander in his heart.

If Yuan Shao can hold out for two more days, then the situation to challenge Dong will definitely be fully opened.

Unfortunately.
Yuan Shao was defeated so quickly.

As a result, Dong Zhuo could concentrate his forces to deal with the attack from the direction of Sishuiguan.

Cao Cao frowned and stared at the soldiers below: "Do you know the specific process?"

The soldier cupped his hands: "I don't know everything."

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Let me explain in detail."

"promise."

The soldier responded, paused for a moment, and said, "The villain heard that Dong Zhuo threatened the Prime Minister of the Jinwu and Humu, and while delaying time, the army surrounded the Xiaopingjin pass and attacked Wang Kuang's troops stationed in Heyangjin." .”

"Ok?"

Cao Cao heard something strange: "Wang Kuang's subordinate? What about the leader? What is the leader's loss?"

The soldiers clasped their hands: "The lord has not yet arrived at Heyangjin, so there is no loss."

hiss-!
Cao Cao was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face: "You mean, when Dong Zhuo left behind to attack Heyangjin, the leader's troops hadn't arrived yet?"

The soldier nodded affirmatively: "That's right! Exactly."

"This"

Cao Cao was shocked: "How is this possible?"

The matter of comprehensively discussing Dong was in full swing, and Yuan Shao had already hurried back.

According to common sense, when the army sets off, even if Wang Kuang is the vanguard, the distance between Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses should not be too far away.

But why, Dong Zhuo has already gone around and raided Heyangjin, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have not arrived?

unreasonable!
So unreasonable!
However, the clever Cao Cao has already considered this point deeply, but the princes under him are secretly rejoicing.

Especially Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang County, heaved a sigh of relief: "As long as the leader is okay, as long as there is nothing wrong."

This person has always only cared about Yuan Shao's situation, and never cared about the situation of the battle, let alone the impact on the overall situation after Yuan Shao's defeat in the battle.

Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, frowned, his face sullen: "No wonder it is difficult to attack the city recently. I think Dong Zhuo has already dispatched troops to Sishuiguan. The defeat of Heyangjin has affected our army!"

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, couldn't stop nodding: "If we can persist in the direction of Heyangjin for two more days, a mere Hu Zhen will definitely not be able to stop our army. Perhaps at this moment, we have already broken the Sishui pass and killed Luoyang. gone."

"Ah~~"

Qiao Mao sighed: "It's a pity."

Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin nodded: "It is indeed a pity."

Yuan Yi's expression changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "What do you mean by this? Could it be possible that you want Alliance Leader Yuan to be attacked by Dong Zhuo? Now that the root is not hurt, isn't it a good thing for the allied forces?"

"Humph!"

Yuan Yi forcefully argued, furiously: "Heyangjin was defeated because Wang Kuang was at a disadvantage in the battle, so what does he have to do with the leader?"

Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin replied sharply: "Wang Kuang was indeed at a disadvantage in the battle, but after his defeat, why didn't the leader rush to help? Doesn't he know our strategy?"

"It has been defeated, and the fighter plane is gone, how to fight?"

"Since the root is not injured, why should we rest and continue to send troops to Mengjin Pass, wouldn't it be better?"

"If there is another ambush, what can I do?"

"."

The two sides immediately quarreled, and the quarrel was so intense.

The first Cao Cao snapped: "Enough!"

The two just gave up and didn't speak any more.

It is clear.

Yuan Shao's influence in the Allied forces cannot be ignored.

Even if he loses, there are still people who will excuse him and even wash his sins.

As for Wang Kuang, who was defeated in Heyangjin, no one of these princes cared at all.

Cao Cao faintly felt that something was wrong, and took a long breath: "Let's give up today, and all the lords will return to their camps. Tomorrow morning, according to today's arrangement, we will continue to attack. Cao will write a letter to the leader, inviting him to support him at Mengjin Pass."

All the princes got up one after another and left the big tent.

Only Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, remained behind.

After all the princes left, Bao Xin said: "Meng De, what shall we do next?"

Cao Cao sighed, his eyes were extremely firm: "Naturally continue to attack."

"But."

Bao Xin raised his finger to the outside of the tent: "You have also seen these guys, now that Yuan Shao is defeated, I am afraid that he will no longer follow your command as before. With our military strength, how can we fight Dong Zhuo decisively?"

How could Cao Cao not know this.

But his eyes were still firm and did not waver in the slightest: "Yuan Shao is unreliable, but there is still King Hongnong on the southern line. His Highness can escape from Luoyang's death, which proves that my strength is not exhausted, and Dong Bandit will be defeated sooner or later."

"King Hongnong?"

Bao Xin took a deep breath, and a thin figure appeared in his mind.

The King Hongnong in my impression is just a child, with frivolous behavior and no imperial dignity.

But such a person was able to escape Dong Zhuo's clutches, pull up a team in Nanyang, and repeatedly hit Dong Zhuo on the southern front.

Unbelievable!

Simply incredible!

Especially compared with Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, there is a world of difference.

Bao Xin nodded, and said firmly: "No matter what, I, Bao Xin, will always believe in you."

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Yuncheng, thank you."

The next morning.

Cao Cao gathered his troops and prepared to attack Sishui Pass.

Sure enough, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, Liu Dai, and Qiao Mao did not move at all.

Only Bao Xin was determined to follow Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sighed, and glanced back at the camp: "We unite the masses and Xingyi soldiers, and there is no one who does not respond from far and near. However, although there are many allied forces, only you and I are the real planners for the world."

"Yuncheng."

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Bao Xin: "I don't know if I will live or die, do you regret it?"

Bao Xin's eyes were burning brightly: "Xin only regrets that he mistrusted Yuan Shao, how could he regret his generosity!"
