Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 140

Xihai Qiang soldiers rose up from their battalion and withdrew quickly.

Gao Shun stood at the top of the city and watched clearly, but he didn't go out to pursue him.

In fact, after more than ten days of fierce fighting, more than half of the [-] elite soldiers brought by Gao Shun had been killed or injured.Even if he wanted to go out of the city to pursue him, he was powerless.What's more, the [-] troops are all infantry, so it is difficult to leave the Qiang soldiers even if they pursue them.

Just at noon, Zhao Yun led the follow-up army and finally arrived.

Near the east gate of Qiang, Gao Shun led more than ten generals to welcome them out of the city.

"General Gao Shun!"

Zhao Yun reined in his horse, and bowed his hands to Gao Shun on the horse's back.

Gao Shun also bowed back, "I have seen General Zhao Yun."

Zhao Yundao: "This repelling of [-] Qiang soldiers is all thanks to the general."

Gao Shun replied: "How dare you take credit for your internal affairs."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "I don't know when the Qiang soldiers will retreat, but did the general lead the army to pursue them?"

Gao Shun replied: "The Qiang soldiers retreated for more than an hour. The soldiers under Shun's command suffered heavy casualties, and they were all infantry. Their strength was even lower than that of the Xihai Qiang soldiers, so they never went out to pursue them. The general's troops are all cavalry. Why not lead the army?" Pursue it, and you will surely make merit."

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and said: "General Gao Shun doesn't know something. Although our army has repelled several invading enemies, there is almost no food left in the treasury, and the people of Jincheng County are not stable. The Qianghu tribe is still waiting and watching. It is not advisable to fight any more."

Gao Shun was silent, knowing that Zhao Yun was telling the truth.

At present, Zhao Yun ordered the army to camp outside the city, and only brought dozens of personal soldiers into the city with Gao Shun.

Two days later, Luo Zheng arrived with [-] cavalry.

Gao Shun and Zhao Yun took dozens of generals out of the city to meet them.

"See your lord!"

"See General!"

Luo Zheng urged the horse to come forward, and dozens of generals came forward to salute.

"Zilong is free, Boping is free!"

Luo Zheng raised his hand, then rolled off the horse.

A soldier had already rushed forward, took the bridle and led the horse aside.

Luo Zheng stepped forward and patted Gao Shun on the shoulder heavily, and praised without hesitation: "Bo Ping has made great contributions to forcing back [-] Western Sea Qiang soldiers this time. , why worry about the failure of the big event."

"The general is over-reputed, and the last general is ashamed!"

Gao Shun had no joy on his face, and said calmly, but there was an imperceptible warmth in his eyes.

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "It's right, why don't you dare to do it. It hasn't been long since the [-] surrendered troops have just surrendered, and their hearts have not been attached. Boping can make these surrendered soldiers under the absolute weakness of the troops, and they can still kill the enemy with all their might. It is enough to take on the important task. If it were Xu Chu, no one would be able to fight in the front line, but if he leads this army, the morale of the army will be lost before the battle, and An Neng will retreat from the enemy."

Gao Shun cherished his words like gold, kept silent and did not take credit for it.

Xu Chu scratched his big head, laughed dryly and did not say a word.

Zhao Yun nodded secretly, looking at Gao Shun with admiration, even admiring him.

No matter what, Gao Shun was able to take [-] newly surrendered soldiers and defend Linqiang with a weak force for more than ten days, preventing [-] Xihai Qiang soldiers from advancing an inch, which is enough to make people admire and even respect.

What others see is merit, but what others see is Gao Shun's ability.

As Luo Zheng said, not everyone can make eight thousand soldiers return to their hearts like Gao Shun, and kill the enemy with their lives.

At least Xu Chu couldn't do it. He didn't have the ability to turn a pawn into an elite soldier in just a few months.

After the Xihai Qiang soldiers retreated, the battle of Jincheng was finally over.

Luo Zheng garrisoned in Linqiang for ten days, and did not return to Yunwu until it was confirmed that the [-] Qiang soldiers had retreated to the West Sea.

When the news reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo urgently summoned his confidants, civil and military, to discuss.

Luoyang North Palace, Jiade Hall.

Dong Zhuo's thick eyebrows were tightly knit together, he looked around at his confidants, civil and military, and said in a concentrated voice: "Luo Shengping is good at fighting, which is beyond my expectation. This time, several armies joined forces to attack Jincheng, and Ma Teng invited Xihai to burn When the Royal Department sent troops to attack its side, I didn’t want to kill them all and was defeated by Luo Zheng. It’s a pity that such a general has a rebellious bone in the back of his head.”

Li Ru, Li Su, Niu Fu, Guo Si, Li Jue and other civil and military officials looked at me, but they were all speechless.

Ma Teng and Xi Haishao sent troops to the royal family, although it was unexpected.

However, Luo Zheng counterattacked desperately in the desperate situation of all sides, and defeated Ma Teng, Huangfu Jianshou, Zhang Meng, Gai Xun and other armies, but it really shocked everyone. Even the [-] Xihai Qiang soldiers were forced to retreat.

This person is so good at fighting, if he is allowed to grow up, he will become a serious trouble in the future.

Li Ru was the first to say: "My lord, this traitor Luo Zheng is a traitor. If he is not wiped out, the prestige of the imperial court will be lost, and all the bandits in the world will strive to follow suit. Although Ma Teng and other armies have been repelled today, but Jincheng is new, and the hearts of the people are not stable. My lord only needs to condemn another general and lead [-] elite soldiers, and Luo Zheng will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the pacification of Liangzhou is just around the corner."

Niu Fu, Li Jue and other generals who hoped for Luo Zheng's early death also seconded their proposals and strongly agreed to send troops.

Guo Si, Fan Chou, Duan Yao, Xu Rong and other generals remained silent.

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "However, our army is recuperating now, how can we send out troops? Besides, the court has no food, and the autumn food has not been sent to the fields. Before that, Ma Teng borrowed food, and now I am afraid that even the March food for the [-] troops will not be available. "

Li Ru said with confidence: "There is enough food for March!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes were fixed, resting and recuperating is Li Ru's strategy.

But right now Li Ru is strongly in favor of sending troops to Liangzhou, but he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

"Wen You thinks, who can send troops to Liangzhou?"

Dong Zhuo asked calmly.

Li Ru glanced at Lv Bu who was standing behind Dong Zhuo, cupped his hands and said, "General Lv Bu is good at fighting, and he won't lose to Luo Zheng. My lord, why don't you take General Lv Bu as the main general and lead [-] Bingzhou elites out of Liangzhou to the west, and they will definitely be destroyed in one fell swoop." Luo Zheng."

"This……"

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment before he understood.

Li Ru is driving tigers and wolfs away, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Since repelling the Kwantung Allied Forces, Dong Zhuo has gradually reorganized his troops.

Sending five thousand northern army elites to Luo Zheng is a means of Ruohua's central government army.

Lv Bu still had [-] Bingzhou elite soldiers under his command. Dong Zhuo had long wanted to kick them out of the Liangzhou army in order to achieve a high degree of control over the troops under his command, but he never found a suitable opportunity or excuse to move lightly.

Lv Bu had always wanted to lead the army before, but Dong Zhuo refused to agree, so he was tied tightly to his side so as not to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

But right now, Luo Zheng repelled Ma Teng and other armies, and he was gradually gaining momentum in Liangzhou, which can be said to have become a serious problem.

Letting Lu Bu go to Liangzhou is the best way to drive away tigers and wolves.

Luo Zheng is a wolf, and Lu Bu is a tiger. When two powers fight, one must be injured.

Lu Bu is not a good person, and Luo Zheng is not a person who is easy to give.

Let Lu Bu go to Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo doesn't have to worry that Luo Zheng will be killed by Lu Bu easily.Dong Zhuo believes that Lu Bu will not be easily killed by Luo Zheng, and it is in Dong Zhuo's best interest to let this pair of tigers and wolves fight each other.
