Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 122 Moved to Dong Zhuo
On the other hand, Han Sui wanted to send Xiliang cavalry to attack Sun Jian at night, but he didn't expect to fall into the trap prepared by Sun Jian in advance. As a result, he suffered heavy losses, so he had to temporarily give up attacking Sun Jian. According to the plan, a state of confrontation was formed between the north of Yunwu City and Sun Jian's troops.

Han Sui left a part of his troops on the north wall of Yunwu City, determined not to take the initiative to go out to fight Sun Jian, while Han Sui himself took the rest of the main force to the east gate of Yunwu City to deal with Dong Zhuo's attack. side troops.

Although during this period of time when Han Sui and Sun Jian were fighting fiercely, Dong Zhuo always kept his troops on hold, but as long as Dong Zhuo's troops stayed outside, it would still make Han Sui feel very uneasy. Now it seems that there will not be too much threat to Yunwu City, but Dong Zhuo's troops are not easy to say. After all, Dong Zhuo's own prestige is still somewhat praised in the Xiliang area.

Before, there were not many chances to fight Dong Zhuo head-on. This time, he finally found such an opportunity. He really wanted to know how strong Dong Zhuo was, and whether there were many rumors about him in Xiliang. They are all true, or they are fabricated and embellished by some good people.

Of course, Dong Zhuo is a little older now, and most of his glorious deeds in the Xiliang area happened when he was young. When Han Sui saw Dong Zhuo with his own eyes again, he found that he was younger than himself many years ago. When I saw him for the first time, he had changed quite a lot. It was visible to the naked eye that his body had gained a lot of weight.

Dong Zhuo's original figure was relatively tall and mighty. When he was young, he was very strong. He was good at riding and shooting. Sometimes I went to travel alone in the territory of the Qiang people, where I made many leaders and friends of the Qiang people, and even once the leader of the Qiang people gave him thousands of cattle and sheep, but his character is also relatively open-minded and generous. .

The reason why the leader of the Qiang people gave him so many cattle and sheep was also because the leader of the Qiang people came to Dong Zhuo’s house as a guest at that time. Dong Zhuo slaughtered all the cattle and sheep that were not many at home to entertain the leader of the Qiang people. These Qiang leaders were deeply moved, so they gave Dong Zhuo thousands of cattle and sheep as gifts. Of course, the thousand cattle and sheep here may be just an imaginary number. In fact, there should not be that many, but the number is certainly not. too little.

After Dong Zhuo became an official, he treated his subordinates very generously. He had meat to eat, and his subordinates would never just drink soup. He would share the gold, silver, treasures, cattle and sheep with his subordinates. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's subordinates are very loyal to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's subordinates also have some very powerful generals.

However, when Dong Zhuo participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion before, the emperor deprived him of his original military power, which caused the troops he had been running for a long time to stop listening to his command at once, and then suppressed the Yellow Turban rebellion. Although the troops brought in during the chaos were said to be the elite troops of the central government, they were actually not very willing to listen to Dong Zhuo's orders, so the actual combat capability would be greatly reduced. Coupled with some other factors, Dong Zhuo was defeated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Zhili suffered a lot. If Xiang Yu hadn't arrived in time to save him, his life might have been lost.

Of course, there is still a clear gap between the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Dong Zhuo and the troops he carefully cultivated at the beginning. Dong Zhuo is actually a bit uncomfortable with the Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Many of the soldiers seem to have some prejudice against Dong Zhuo and are not so willing. To follow Dong Zhuo's command, and Dong Zhuo saw that his command did not move these soldiers, so he was very unhappy in his heart, so he was not willing to really contribute and command them well, it was simply a partial failure.

Of course, it is precisely because of these complicated factors that Han Sui is actually not very good at judging Dong Zhuo's real combat power. He obviously dare not underestimate Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo obviously did not show too strong in the previous battles. When the fighting strength came, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Zhuo's gourd. Han Sui was also afraid that Dong Zhuo would suddenly stop pretending to be dead and hit himself by surprise. The Xiliang cavalry in the mountains ordered them not to act rashly before they led the main force to arrive. At most, they only harassed and scouted Dong Zhuo's troops.

And Han Sui also learned some basic information about Dong Zhuo's army from the Xiliang cavalry during the process of harassing and investigating Dong Zhuo during this period. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry to build siege weapons, but after a period of time, he also started to build siege weapons. Now the construction of siege weapons should have been completed, but the whole army There is still no sign of attacking.

Han Sui felt that he did not get the most critical information, such as the number of Dong Zhuo's troops, and the composition of different soldiers. Of course, these situations can also be learned in subsequent battles. After summarizing and summarizing the information, they finally decided to take the lead in finding opportunities to attack Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's troops have been stationed outside Yunwu City for a while. They have neither attacked the city nor even completely blocked Yunwu City. The real is the real and the false is the most interesting thing. Soldiers are also deceitful, so that the enemy can't figure out their own behavior, and sometimes it is very meaningful.

But now that he has decided to have a head-to-head confrontation with Dong Zhuo, there is actually no need to think about too many things. He decided to send a certain number of Xiliang cavalry to divide into two groups and attack from the south at the same time. The west was launched against Dong Zhuo's position. This was actually just a tentative attack. The main purpose was to further find out the offensive and defensive formation of Dong Zhuo's troops, so as to lay the foundation for the follow-up attack of Han Sui's main force.

Han Sui seemed to be very cautious in marching and fighting. This may cause him to miss some opportunities, but it also allows him to avoid making some mistakes. When he feels that he has the advantage, there is no need to make some too risky decisions. As long as the combat deployment is carried out steadily, the final victory will naturally be his.
