Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

In Huai County, inside the county government office, Zhu Jun looked at the Xiliang soldier who was beaten to a bloody pulp with a serious look on his face.

"The hand of Thief Dong is really long, and he actually sent someone to hook up with the Black Mountain bandits." Zhu Jun said solemnly, "No wonder the bandits' combat power has increased sharply."

"I'm afraid that Thief Dong's fight is not going well, so he is thinking of causing trouble in the rear of Hanoi." Han Hao said, "What should we do for now?"

"How about asking Gai Da Si Xing to send more reinforcements? This Xu Rong doesn't seem to be easy to deal with." Hao Meng suggested.

Zhu Jun shook his head and said: "This makes me feel relieved. As long as we hold back the traitors here, it will be difficult for Thieves Dong to continue. If too many troops are drawn from Hedong to defend, it will give Thieves Dong an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

"But we only have more than five thousand people..." Fang Yue said.

"In this battle, we are not seeking victory, let alone a quick victory, we just need to delay it." Zhu Jun pondered for a long time, with a determined look on his face, and said, "I am ordering the surrounding counties to guard the city tightly and not to go out to fight without permission. Defense is the priority. !”

Immediately afterwards, he wrote another letter to Gai Xun, telling him that Dong Zhuo had sent people to contact the Black Mountain and Baibo thieves to cause trouble in Hanoi. The purpose was to have Hedong send troops to rescue him and reduce the pressure on him in Hedong.

Therefore, it was suggested that Gai Xun should not worry about Hanoi and send no more reinforcements. Instead, he should join forces with Huangfu Song to attack Dong Zhuo without giving him a chance to breathe, pacify Hedong in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the crisis in Luoyang, Kyoto.

"We admire Da Sikong for his overall mind," Fang Yue said. "But there are 40,000 traitors and 5,000 of our troops. The defenses of other counties are even weaker. If there is no foreign aid..."

"Don't worry!" Zhu Jun stroked his long white beard and snorted coldly, "The thieves can't hold on for long. If news of Dong Zhuo's defeat in Hedong comes, Xu Rong will no longer have the will to fight. The Heishan and Baibo thieves are short of supplies. Retreat without fighting."

Zhu Jun glanced at everyone as he spoke, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, Han Hao will be mainly responsible for the training of rural warriors and the selection of young people in the city. He will strive to double the strength of Huai County's troops in a short period of time and form a combat effectiveness. When the thieves want to Even if you retreat, you have to leave a layer of skin!"

Everyone was excited by Zhu Jun's momentum and immediately split up to make arrangements.

……

In Hedong County, Dong Zhuo retreated again and again, and had retreated to Linfen City.

Huangfu Song was stationed at Jiting, southwest of Linfen, and Gai Xun was stationed at Jiangyi, southeast of Linfen. The two armies were like a pair of giant pliers, eyeing Dong Zhuo's army in Linfen.

Dong Zhuo's army now relies entirely on plundering for supplies, except for cannibalism, which is terrible.

Gai Xun continued to fight, looking a little thinner, but more energetic.

Having just sent Huangfu Song away, the two agreed to launch a general attack on Linfen tomorrow and drive Dong Zhuo out before the spring plowing in Hedong.

Hedong is located at the bend of the Yellow River. The land is fertile and can feed a large population if the farming season is not delayed.

"Da Si Xing, urgent message from Hanoi! The messenger is waiting outside the tent." Suddenly a soldier came in and reported.

"Urgent message from Hanoi? Let him in." Gai Xun said hurriedly.

The only person in Hanoi who might have written to him was Zhu Jun.

Gai Xun's soldiers and horses fought from Hanoi to Hedong. Before leaving, he made an agreement with Zhu Jun. If anything happened in Hanoi, which of course mainly refers to the Black Mountain bandits and Baibo bandits, Gai Xun would do his best to rescue Hanoi.

After all, the chaos in Hanoi was put down by His Majesty himself, and it was left in their hands to prevent the chaos from resurrecting.

Now when the war in Hedong is tense, Zhu Jun suddenly receives a letter. No need to ask, it must be that the thief is restless again.

The soldiers quickly brought in a veteran soldier.

"I've seen Da Sikong." After the soldier saluted, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Gai Xun respectfully, and said, "This is Da Sikong's personal letter to you."

"But the thief came down the mountain?" Gai Xun asked as he opened the letter.

"Your Excellency, you know what's going on." The soldier said hurriedly, "The Baibo bandits and the Black Mountain bandits suddenly rushed out of the forest and are besieging Huai County."

Gai Xun opened the letter and read it. Sure enough, Zhu Jun said in the letter that the thieves did not accept His Majesty's recruitment conditions and went out in full force to kill Huai County. They were all over the mountains and plains. Hanoi was in danger. Gai Xun asked Gai Xun to send reinforcements quickly.

"Sure enough, the thief will never die!" Gai Xun said angrily, got up and walked around the tent twice. He could feel the crisis in Huai County from Zhu Jun's tone, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!"

The drums of the general gathering rumbled, and all the generals and officers quickly gathered in the commander's tent to listen to the order.

Gai Xun explained the military situation in Hanoi in public and said: "The military situation in Hanoi is urgent. There are only 5,000 troops in Huai County, but the traitors are out in force. We must send troops back as soon as possible."

"A few thieves dare to be so arrogant. Please give the general an order to kill these blind thieves." A general walked out of the tent and said loudly.

Everyone looked and saw that it was Cao Ren, a relative of Cao Cao.

In recent months, on the battlefields of Hanoi and Hedong, members of the Cao clan have shone brightly and made many military exploits. Cao Ren has also shown his courageous and resourceful side and is highly regarded by Gai Xun.

"Tomorrow we will launch a general attack on Linfen." Cao Cao said worriedly, "If we divide our troops too little, we will not be able to relieve the danger in Hanoi. If we divide our troops too much, it will inevitably affect the effect of the general attack."

"Hanoi must be rescued, otherwise the thieves will become stronger and we will be attacked from both sides." At this time, Ding Yuan, the pastor of Bingzhou, said, "If you are worried that there are not enough troops in Hedong, Ding can return to Bingzhou later."

At this time, Ding Yuan had been promoted from the governor of Bingzhou to the position of shepherd of Bingzhou. Originally, he had discussed with Huangfu Song and Gai Xun that Ding Yuan should return to Bingzhou as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation to prevent Dong Zhuo from escaping into Bingzhou and causing trouble.

If the troops on the front line were insufficient due to the division of troops to rescue Hanoi, he really would not be able to leave for the time being.

Gai Xun thought for a while and said: "That's fine, but Brother Jianyang (original character Ding) doesn't need to wait too long. After taking Linfen, you can continue to return to Bingzhou as soon as possible as planned."

"Liu Biao and Cao Ren obey the order!" Gai Xun said, raising the order arrow.

"The general is here!" Liu Biao and Cao Ren crossed their hands and saluted.

Although Liu Biao had previously served as a lieutenant in the Northern Army when He Jin was still a general and led the Northern Army in Yulin to defend the capital, he had never really participated in a major war, was not tempered enough, and even had a bookish attitude.

Since following Liu Ming to Hanoi, he has started a high-intensity war for nearly half a year. First, he fought against Baibo bandits, Black Mountain bandits, and Huns soldiers, and then against Dong Zhuo. It can be said that the battles were one after another.

The life in the military camp, especially the bloody combat, gave him a perseverance and unyielding enterprising temperament.

Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but there had been a qualitative change for him in the past six months. "Liu Biao led the Shesheng Battalion to relieve the siege of Huai County. Cao Ren led three thousand troops as auxiliary troops. There must be no mistake." Gai Xun handed the arrows to the two men and said, "After arriving in Hanoi, the specific combat deployment will be subject to the command of Grand Sikong Zhu. Jun arranged.”

"Obey the order!" Generals Liu Biao and Cao Ren took the order and went to prepare.

After half a year of hard work, the Shesheng Battalion of the Northern Army has become the most powerful archer in the Han Dynasty. It has repeatedly made military exploits and has an inherent advantage in dealing with thieves with backward armor.

But after all, it is a single archery unit and needs other units to assist and protect it, so Cao Ren assisted.

Because they were already in a state of war preparation, there was no need to make any extra preparations. The soldiers were very quick, and the two of them led the army and set off half an hour later.

An hour later, at nearly noon, Gai Xun received a second letter from Zhu Jun. The letter described in detail the siege tactics of the Black Mountain bandits and the Baibo bandits, and pointed out that the bandits' attack and defense were orderly, and the army There are a large number of armored men among them. It is known that there is an expert commanding the thieves, but we don't know who it is yet.

The civil war situation in Hanoi is worse than expected. Please send more troops to Gai Xun.

Gai Xun fell into deep thought - a man in armor? An expert commanding?

No wonder the thief was unwilling to accept the recruitment. It turned out that a third party was involved. If this was the case, Huai County would be even more dangerous.

He immediately made a decision and sent Xia Houyuan to lead two cavalry battalions, Xiaoqi Battalion and Yueqi Battalion, as follow-up troops to Huai County.

Xia Houyuan has a brave fighting style and is good at running thousands of miles. It is most suitable for him to command the cavalry.

Moreover, Gai Xun had other plans. Although the bandits were commanded by experts, the main body must still be the mob. The best weapon to deal with them is the cavalry. His Majesty led us to quell the bandit rebellions in Hanoi, and the cavalry played an important role. .

He believed that the strongest cavalry in his hands, coupled with the strongest archers, and the veteran general Zhu Jun, could not defeat the traitors?
What's more, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Liu Biao are not easy to deal with.

After Xia Houyuan left, Gai Xun thought for a while and wrote another letter to Huangfu Song, explaining the situation in the Han Dynasty and the nearly 10,000 cavalry, infantry, and archers on his side who went to rescue.

Report the troop deployment situation to friendly forces in a timely manner so that the other party may misjudge when they collaborate to attack Linfen tomorrow.

We are now preparing our troops and horses, preparing to continue to follow the agreement with Huangfu Song and set off to attack Linfen at 3:30 tomorrow.

At midnight, Gai Xun was about to take a rest. Suddenly, Xu Huang, who was in charge of night patrol, walked in.

"Gongming, why are you so late?" Gai Xun asked.

Although Xu Huang had returned from the Baibo Army, he was highly skilled in martial arts and serious about his work. What was even more valuable was that he was not like ordinary thieves. He was not only literate but also willing to study the art of war.

Although Gai Xun had only worked with him for a few months, he could feel that he was growing rapidly, so he also valued Xu Huang very highly.

Sometimes Gai Xun was quite emotional. He felt that the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, that there were no successors for the generals, and that the power to protect the Han Dynasty was declining.

But in recent months, it seems that the Han Dynasty has suddenly become a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and good generals are constantly emerging, not to mention Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, but also the three brothers Liu Guan, Zhang Liao, the Cao clan, and even Xu Huang, who surrendered. Thieves and generals are all outstanding people.

This gave him, the commander-in-chief, a sudden boost of confidence.

When did this start?

Gai Xun once thought that it started from His Majesty's transformation, when His Majesty no longer indulged in fun and was no longer confused by the Ten Constant Attendants. In just a few months, the big man regained his vitality.

When he met Huangfu Song today, both of them already knew that His Majesty had killed Sun Jian to pacify Jingzhou, and then returned to the capital to exterminate the Yuan family.

As two people with military backgrounds, what they most admire is this kind of resolute boss, and the current His Majesty is undoubtedly this kind of hero, acting decisively.

This time, he continued his thunderous style of annihilating General He and Shi Changshi. The key is not to act recklessly, to advance and retreat in a well-founded manner, and to handle things appropriately. Several times, the building has been saved from collapse.

Gai Xun and Huangfu Song talked about these major events that shocked the world, and each of them was excited and felt full of fighting power. So the two immediately high-fived and promised to capture Linfen tomorrow and eliminate the Dong thieves.

Xu Huang looked at the smiling Gai Xun, crossed his hands and saluted, and said: "Da Si Xing, I just found a soldier at the gate of the camp. He said that he was sent by Da Si Kong of Huai County and had something important to report..."

"Let him come in quickly." Gai Xun hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up.

Zhu Jun was also a veteran of the battlefield and sent three letters in a row. It was obvious that the military situation in Huai County was urgent, or that there had been new changes.

Gai Xun thought to himself, don't let Huai County fall. Zhu Gongwei (Zhu Junzi), you must hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Soon, Xu Huang brought the messenger in and handed Gai Xun a letter.

Gai Xun opened the letter and asked, "How is the war situation in Huai County?"

"Da Sikong commanded well and repelled the enemy's attack." The messenger replied, "He also saw through the enemy's trick of digging tunnels to attack the enemy, and sent troops out of the city to kill the enemy. A great victory!"

Gai Xun was even more confused. If this was the case, then what was the purpose of Zhu Jun hurriedly sending someone to send a third letter?
When I opened the letter and read it, I couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a while, he handed the letter to Xu Huang next to him.

Xu Huang was surprised when he saw it. It turned out that the man in the letter who commanded the Heishan and Baibo thieves was Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

Dong Zhuo's purpose is to let Gai Xun divide his troops to rescue, so as to reduce Dong Zhuo's pressure on Hedong.

But Zhu Jun was very stubborn. He pointed out in the letter that Dong Zhuo was using this trick. The more it showed that he was in danger in Hedong, he suggested that Gai Xun no longer needed to send reinforcements, but concentrated his troops to attack Dong Zhuo with all his strength. As long as Dong Zhuo was defeated, then Xu Rong would Being with thieves will not last long.

"Tie Dong is full of tricks." Xu Huang said, "We have sent reinforcements, do we still want to chase him back?"

"Zhu Gongwei is very upright, but the fighting situation there is actually extremely dangerous." Gai Xun showed admiration and said, "But for the sake of the overall situation, and for us to destroy the Dong thief here, he is willing to continue to fight hard in dangerous situations. ,Admirable."

"But the siege of Huai County must be saved." Gai Xun said firmly, "It doesn't matter if it's difficult here. We still have the Great Sima Huangfu Song who can handle it. Huai County is currently an isolated city, fighting against thieves several times our own. They are better than those in Hedong. It’s even more dangerous. The plan to attack Linfen tomorrow remains unchanged. We will send troops at three o’clock.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the camp suddenly fell into chaos, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and fire was reflected in the tent.

Gai Xun and Xu Huang hurried out of the tent to take a look, and saw soldiers running around, the camp was on fire, and a group of iron cavalry was charging through, led by Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong.
