The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() The victory in the First Battle of Longxian reversed the declining situation of the Han people in the Han-Qiang War in one fell swoop, and finally allowed Zhang Wen, who had been trapped in Longxian for many days, to attack with his backhand.

In fact, with the current combat effectiveness of the Han army, they are not afraid of the Qiang people in front of them.This era is the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, which is about to meet in a storm, and it is absolutely different from the later Jin, Song, and Ming periods. The Han people have completely declined and can be bullied by foreigners.It was only because of being passive from the very beginning and suffering repeated defeats that the fighting spirit of the Han army dissipated, and thus was driven to a desperate situation by the Qiang people, and was almost trapped to death in Longxian County.

However, this victory over both the enemy and us broke the original pattern, and the Han army finally regained its confidence.After the Qiang suffered a loss and retreated, the Han army, confident of winning, immediately launched a counterattack and raised troops out of the city to fight against them.However, because the Han army is still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, although the timing is good, it cannot really take the initiative.But as the Qiang people slowly calmed down, they began to take the initiative instead. Seeing that the Han army was about to repeat the same mistakes, they were forced to retreat to Long County again.

And at this moment, Dong Zhuo's reinforcements finally arrived.This army has a strength of more than [-], and has been recharging for many days. As soon as reinforcements with strong fighting spirit arrived, the situation changed again.With it in the rear, the Qiang people could no longer attack Zhang Wenjun with all their strength, and when facing Zhang Wenjun's attack, they had to always beware of Dong Zhuojun's attack from behind, and immediately fell into the unfavorable situation of fighting on both sides.

As a result, the battle fell into a stalemate again, but as far as the situation is concerned, the Han army has begun to control the situation in turn. As long as the cooperation between the two groups of troops is tacit enough, perhaps a single battle can completely defeat them. Enemy.

But at this moment, Dong Zhuojun's movements became a little weird.Several times when Han and Qiang fought over there, there was already a chance to go straight into the back of the Qiang army. Dong Zhuo's army did not send troops in time, but just waited for the opportunity to slip away in vain.The reason for this situation is that Dong Zhuo has his own considerations.

Just after the two armies had formed a favorable situation and attacked the Qiang people back and forth, Dong Zhuo asked Ma Yue and Li Ru's two confidants about the current situation and future development to see if they had any good suggestions.

In this regard, Ma Yue and Li Ru had the same opinion: "Now that we have sent troops to help, it is impossible for the Qiang people to attack one side with all their strength, so that Zhang Wen can no longer lose Long County. And this is already our goal. It is here. Next, it is time for us to think for ourselves. We must not let this rebel army be wiped out at this time, otherwise the credit of the lord will stop here. What we should do is to make the current situation It has always existed, forcing the Qiang people to retreat, and then take the initiative to attack, and defeat the Qiang bandits with our own strength, so that we can get more credit!" Although Ma Yue really didn't want Dong Zhuo to monopolize the great achievements, but in the current situation Here, that's all I can say.

Dong Zhuo agrees very much with such policies and strategies.Originally, he was dissatisfied with Zhang Wen's victory in Long County, but now he naturally didn't want the opponent to win a fundamental victory with the cooperation of his army. For the victory over the Qiang people, the greatest contribution to this battle must be Zhang Wen, not Dong Zhuo.And this will definitely make Zhang Wen a key reward from the court, and it is possible that he will be named Liangzhou Shepherd on the spot. This is not the result Dong Zhuo wants to see, so it is impossible for him to help Zhang Wen win this battle.

But Zhang Wen couldn't bear it for too long. After attacking a few times, or deliberately letting the Qiang people attack and giving Dong Zhuojun a chance, but Dong Zhuojun was still indifferent, he finally couldn't help condemning people to question Dong Zhuo. Why can't it be delayed.

On June 3th, the No. [-] envoy arrived, and it was Zhang Jie, a brother of Zhang Wen's clan.This person has always acted arrogantly because he took advantage of Zhang Wen's influence. Even if he was face to face with a warlord like Dong Zhuo who held a heavy army, he still did not change his true nature.

After being introduced into the big tent, he faced Dong Zhuo proudly and raised his head high: "General Dong, I was ordered by Marshal Zhang to ask you why your army has never had any chances before you. Any move to send troops? Are you not afraid that the commander-in-chief will invite the court to condemn you for delaying the military plan? Or is it that you have colluded with the Qiang bandits and want to help them secretly at this time?"

Seeing that such a small person dared to act presumptuously in front of him, Dong Zhuo felt angry.However, since the other party represents Zhang Wen, and I don't want to quarrel with Zhang Wen, I can only endure it for the time being, but this is not polite: "I don't allow an incompetent person like you to point fingers at what I am doing. Unreasonable accusations! As for what you said that I will not send troops, this general cannot accept it. If I really want to help the Qiang bandits, I can keep my troops in Lintao now, so why come here? As for why I stand still now, but It is for the sake of the victory or defeat of the battle. You know that the Qiang people have already exposed their flaws, but who can guarantee that it is not a trap deliberately set up by the Qiang people to lure us into the trap? In order not to cause any damage to the soldiers under his command, I will not attack you at will. The enemy is going to war! You literati and scholars, you know what it means to use soldiers!" The last sentence scolded Zhang Wen.

"You... Aren't you afraid that the court will blame you?" Zhang Jie wanted to say something more, but was intimidated by Dong Zhuo's aura. He didn't dare to say anything serious for a while, so he had to take out the big banner of the court to support him.

Regarding this, Dong Zhuo just laughed: "The general came here only to win. Even if the imperial court really has an order, I can say that the general will not accept the order of the emperor, let alone other things! I still have a few words for you to pass on. Marshal Zhang, Xiliang is no different than other places. Going to war with the enemy is not reciting poems or painting paintings in Luoyang. Success, I, Xiliang, have already fallen into the hands of Qianghu!"

After some high-sounding words sent Zhang Jie away, Dong Zhuojun not only did not move forward as he said, but retreated backwards, and on the contrary, he was farther away from the main battlefield of the enemy and us.This is clearly a threat to Zhang Wen over there-if you dare to use your power to suppress people, or complain to the court, I will dare to withdraw the army, and then you will be alone to deal with the enemy.

The previous Dong Zhuo might have considered hiding some of his own thoughts, and didn't dare to do things to the extreme.But now that he has [-] to [-] elites in his hands, and with a certain power, he has begun to be dissatisfied with the state of being controlled by Zhang Wen before, and wants to sit on an equal footing with Dashuai Zhang.

Seeing all this, Ma Yue couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo after all, he will never be a loyal subject who is dedicated to serving the country, even now when he is facing a strong enemy like this, he will not change. This is the real start of his life, and he will definitely embark on the road of no return to that power!"

?????

"He really said that?" Zhang Wen asked in disbelief after listening to Zhang Jie's reply.

"This Dong Zhongying, he didn't pay attention to you, commander-in-chief at all, and he didn't even care about the court. He even asked me to give the commander-in-chief a message, saying that you don't understand military affairs at all, and it's true to steal the commander-in-chief position. It's a monkey that gets the crown, and it's a joke!" Zhang Jie is not a gentleman, and after being angry with Dong Zhuo, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to provoke.

"It's unreasonable, this Dong Zhongying is really presumptuous!" Now, even if Zhang Wen has a good self-cultivation, he will be very angry.A person often feels the most ashamed and angry when others point out your flaws, and Zhang Wen's flaws are being used together. He knows this well, but he is the least willing to be pointed out by others. point.Now Zhang Jie, who is most familiar with him, used this to provoke him, so it was easy to make him angry.

"A while ago when our army was trapped in Long County, Dong Zhuo didn't know how to rescue him in time when he had soldiers in his hands. It wasn't until our situation improved a little that he came to share the credit. This commander has endured this. But he didn't Thinking about it, now that he has become even more serious, it is clear that he is not listening to orders, and this commander is going to ask the imperial court to take away his military power!" Zhang Wen said angrily.

"Exactly, the commander-in-chief should have written a report to the imperial court a long time ago, so that the imperial court will take down this person who does not obey orders and has ulterior motives!" Zhang Jie also said fanning the flames.

"Marshal, this is absolutely impossible, otherwise the situation in Xiliang will be completely out of control!" At this moment, an urgent voice came in from outside the house, and following the voice, it was Huangfusong in armor who appeared.Because he had something important to report to Zhang Wen, he happened to come outside the house and heard his harsh words.

"Why, General Huangfu wants to speak for Dong Zhongying? Is there still a friendship between you and him that we don't know about?" Zhang Jie said very unhappy.It turned out that he didn't take Huangfusong seriously, but this time the Long County victory was won under his command. Now this person has a high reputation in the army, which made Zhang Jie restrain himself.But Huangfusong's dissenting words today still made him feel dissatisfied, and he couldn't help but speak rudely.

"Dong Zhongying and I have only met each other a few times, so we can't say we have any friendship. The reason why the last general said this is entirely for the consideration of the general and our Han army." Huangfu Song said solemnly: "Just now, the last general accepted When I got the news, it was said that Dong Zhuojun, who was behind the Qiang army, suddenly withdrew [-] miles back, and now the distance between us and the enemy is even further." It turned out that he came to see Zhang Wen to report this matter. He wanted to ask if this was Zhang Wen's intention. Now after listening to the conversation between the two of them, Huangfusong guessed Dong Zhuo's intention.

"What did you say? Dong Zhuo suddenly retreated at this time?" Zhang Wen was angry at first, and then became a little worried. Once Dong Zhuo really let go and retreated, it would be very difficult to fight the Qiang people on his own.

"That's right! It's obvious that Dong Zhongying is threatening the commander in chief. If he hadn't stopped him from behind, I'm afraid the Qiang people would have the upper hand, which would be very bad for us!" Huangfusong said with a wry smile.

"He is so brave, I will definitely not let him off lightly!" Zhang Wen slapped the table and shouted.But at this moment, he could only lose his temper like this. In fact, there was nothing he could do about Dong Zhuo. Who would let Dong Zhuo's army be his own? It was impossible for Zhang Wen to mobilize the tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

But it was such a seemingly invisible internal strife that changed the battle again. A battle that could have decided the outcome here had a new variable, but Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen did not. Thought-of……
