There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Everything is in order, Yuan Shao shouted: "Although Shao is not talented, he has been promoted as the leader of the alliance by the public, and he must be rewarded for his meritorious deeds and punished for his crimes. The state has state laws, and the army has iron discipline. Everyone should abide by it and not violate it."

Everyone said that life is to listen.

Yuan Shao continued: "According to the previous Japanese military order, all the princes dispatched troops to their respective camps, agreed on a time and date, and attacked from three directions to take Xingyang directly!"

"promise!"

Dongdu, Luoyang.

In Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the imperial palace is divided into the South Palace and the North Palace, which are located in the north and south of Luoyang City respectively. The two palaces are connected by a tall wall in the middle. Ten steps and one guard.

The front hall of the South Palace is the Quefei Hall, which is now the only place where the emperor faces the court and all the officials discuss politics. The main hall behind the Quefei Hall is the Deyang Hall.The hall can hold ten thousand people.The hall is surrounded by pools of water, with jade steps and red beams, the altar is made of textured stone, the walls are decorated with colored paintings, and the golden pillars are carved with beautiful patterns.

The Deyang Palace, which was supposed to be used by the emperor, has now become Dong Zhuo's special place. Dong Xiangguo ran rampant in the harem and controlled the government, all based on the Deyang Palace. It is also here that all the cronies are invited to discuss secrets.

Dong Zhuo is sitting on the side of the main seat in the palace at the moment, so he understands some principles of ethics, and he is not sitting in the middle seat that should belong to the emperor. It was Xiangguo's turn to take the seat.

Dong Zhuo is not young anymore, with a big beard and wrinkled face.

I saw him with gray hair, ginger complexion, sunken cheeks and a sick and disgusted face, but his body was very big, and his back was not restrained at all when he was over half a century old, which showed that his body was extremely strong. As expected of a military background.

"Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's thieves have gathered so many princes to rebel against the old man, haha, how did you say that? The younger generation is awesome! Isn't it?" Dong Zhuo was reading the military newspaper in his hand, while making fun of the old god.

Under Dong Zhuo's command, Li Ru should be the leader in terms of resourcefulness. He stepped out of the squad and reported: "Xiangguo, more than ten princes of the Guandong, gathered together are powerful and powerful, enough to fight against the army and horses of the DPRK and China! At present, they are divided into two groups. The three routes are from Hanoi, Suanzao, and Yangren, and no matter which route is false or solid, the goal is nothing more than to attack the tiger prison and pass Xingyang. Xiangguo should immediately dispatch troops and generals, so as not to delay, so as not to lose the opportunity."

Dong Zhuo didn't answer Li Ru, instead he said to himself: "When the old man led the Xiliang army into Beijing, he first recruited He Jin and He Miao's Jingdu Weiwu army, and then he had to take the lead to join the state army. I thought Looking around the world, no one is dissatisfied! Who would have thought that the world has really changed, and the princes not only dissatisfied with the old man, but also joined forces, it is really extremely arrogant."

Speaking of this, I saw the fat old man laughing, his expression became extremely excited again, there seemed to be a faint red light in his eyes, and he said hoarsely like a hungry wolf: "Arrogant is so arrogant! This is interesting, if It's no fun to submit to Natu! If you refuse to accept, this old man will beat you until you submit!"

Li Ru smiled and said: "Xiangguo is so talented, it can be seen that the princes of the Guandong are like nothing."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "In my opinion, half of the princes of the Guandong are mediocre, but there are indeed a few difficult people among them, who are worth worrying about: Er Yuan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Bao Xin, Wang Kuang Only seven people."

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo raised his head, looked at Li Ru, and said, "Wen You, can you teach me how to defeat the enemy?"

Li Ru shook his head in shame, and said: "Conspiracies and tricks are the director of Confucianism. But at this moment, war is inevitable, and tricks are useless! If you talk about the method of using troops, who can come out? Use troops to dispatch It must be done by Xiangguo himself."

Dong Zhuo thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Forget it! If that's the case, I will send troops to obey orders!"

All the fierce generals in armor on the left and right came out: "Here!"

Dong Zhuo picked up the prelude to the army on the table, shook it and said: "Yuan Shao sacrificed blood to heaven in Suanzao, intending to challenge me, his troops divided into three groups, one went to Hanoi, his intention must be to take the old man's Ao Cang, two Zouanzao is a majestic and positive teacher, who can avoid the sharp edge, and three Zouyang people, this is a strange soldier, you can muster the elite to break it first!"

Chapter 35 Taoyuan Brothers

If Cao Cao were in the Deyang Palace at this moment, he would have turned pale with shock when he heard Dong Zhuo's words.

Although Cao Cao had never underestimated Dong Zhuo, what he didn't know was that Dong Zhuo had never underestimated him either.

In a few or two sentences, Dong Zhuo had already explained in detail the strategic deployment of the princes in the Kanto region.

This is not a deep understanding of the art of war, but the experience of a veteran who has worked hard on the battlefield for decades.

Dong Zhuo started from Habayashi Lang in Liangzhou, and worked all the way to Jun Sima, Langzhong, Guangwu Ling, Northern Captain, Hedong Taishou, Polu General, etc. until today's Xiangguo. It can be said that Dong Zhuo's official positions are basically military officers. And since he was young, Dong Zhuo has been on the battlefield: the Qiang people in the northwest, the Yellow Turban Army, the bandits of Fanghan, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Wang Guo are Dong Zhuo's number. An opponent that has been encountered on the battlefield for ten years.

During the crusade against the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo also experienced failure, but this did not affect the process of his experience accumulation and failure, on the contrary, it gave him more things.

23 years of military career have turned this reckless man in the Northwest into a monster who is proficient in military tactics and scheming.

Although Cao Cao is also familiar with the art of war, in terms of experience, compared with this old man, he still has many years less.

Among the generals, a tall, but relatively elegant general came out, cupped his hands and said: "The words of Xiangguo Shicai hit the vital point of the Kwantung Allied Army. According to the opinion of the last general, for the Suanzao Central Route Army We need to send heavy troops to defend, stand firm and don't fight, to gain time! The army of the princes of Hedong in the north is aiming to store grain in Ao Cang. The coalition army expects us to take advantage of the situation to move grain and grass, but our army can do the opposite, and don't rush to move grain. Instead, they used Ao Cang as a bait to deploy suspicious soldiers, so that the Kwantung princes in Hedong were suspicious and dared not enter, and then they secretly dispatched elites from Xiaopingjin to cross Hebei to make a sneak attack! Among the Kwantung Army in the north, the Taishan soldiers under Wang Kuang's command are the formidable enemy. If the raiding army can defeat Wang Kuang first, then there will be no worries along the way."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud, clapped his hands and applauded: "Although General Xu is not the most valiant and skilled general under my command, he is definitely the one who knows the art of war best under my command!"

The person who gave the advice was Xu Rong, a Zhonglang general under Dong Zhuo's command.

In terms of bravery and martial arts, under Dong Zhuo's tent, Lv Bu, the Marquis of Ting, was the most important, followed by Hua Xiong, the governor.

But when it comes to the art of war and strategy, Dong Zhuo always recommends Xu Rong first, and often says in private with those close to him: Among the generals, the one who will achieve the highest achievement in the future will not be Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Guo Si and others. Xu Rong is none other than.

Xu Rong was born in Liaodong. Although he is not yet Dong Zhuo's direct confidant, he has gradually won Dong Zhuo's trust and favor.

Xu Rong bowed his body, thanked Dong Zhuo for his praise, and continued: "As for the Southern Road, it is a surprise soldier of the Allied Army. Its intention is nothing more than to disperse our troops. Among them, there is Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha! This man is brave and good at fighting, and he is known as the Jiangdong Tiger. He is actually a confidant of our army. If the Prime Minister wants to fight against him, he must carefully choose who he is."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said appreciatively: "General Xu's words are true, Sun Jian is a fierce tiger, and he can't be easily defeated. Who would dare to go to the south to fight Sun Jian?"

When the words fell, I saw a general, wearing a copper armor, with a face full of stubble and a fierce face, like a big bear, striding forward with his head held high, and said in a loud voice: "The last general, Hua Xiong, is willing to go!"

Dong Zhuo looked at the general, nodded and said: "Dudu Hua, well, yes, you can be counted as one of the few fierce generals under the old man's account. If you fight Sun Jian, you can be your opponent!"

Li Ru looked at Hua Xiong, thought for a while, and said, "Xiangguo, the governor of Huadu is extremely brave, he is a lieutenant general in our army, but I heard that the southern princes are not only Sun Jian, but also Cao Cao, Xuzhou army, Yingchuan Kongni, As well as Gongsun Zan's branch, they should not be underestimated, we should send another army to fight against Hua Dudu, and the chances of victory will be greatly increased!"

Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that Li Ru was afraid that Hua Xiong's temperament would be too strong, and that the army alone might be caught in a trick, so he said: "Xu Rong, you lead an army, and you will form a horn with the governor of Hua, go to Yangren, and fight with the southern princes The old man led the troops to Juancheng to block the middle road of the princes; Li Jue and Guo Si each led an army to Xiaomengjin, according to Xu Rong's plan, to deal with the princes in Hedong, remember to find a way to defeat Wang Kuang's Taishan soldiers first! Be careful, if there is a mistake, you will definitely kill it!"

"promise!"

On the Luoyang side, Dong Zhuo arranged for soldiers to face the enemy in three directions. On the Kwantung coalition side, the princes each received their missions and went back after Suanzao parted.

The potter returned to Yingchuan, saw Mi Fang who was still standing there, and then led the troops to Yangren City with Kong Ni.

Although Sun Jian also stationed troops in Yingchuan, but because he was tricked last time, he did not join the potter and Kong Ni.Although they were on the same road, they entered the army alone.

The soldiers and horses of the third route marched quickly, and arrived in Yangren County within a few days. At this time, the partial divisions of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan had also arrived.

After Cao Cao arrived, he immediately sent an envoy to pass a letter, inviting Sun Jian, Kong Ni, and pottery merchants to meet with him and discuss the next step of marching strategy.

After all, Cao Cao was General Fenwu appointed by Yuan Shao. He had a small number of troops but had the position of a general. No matter how unwilling to join Kong Ni and others, Sun Jian wanted to take care of Cao Cao, so he had to lead the army to join forces.

After several groups of soldiers and horses were reconciled, the potter and Kong Ni went to Cao Cao's camp to meet him.

After entering Cao Cao's handsome tent, he found that Sun Jian was already sitting inside, expressionless, without looking at Kong Ni. Besides Sun Jian and Cao Cao, there were three other people on the other side of Cao Cao's camp.

When the pottery merchant saw these three people, he couldn't help being stunned.

Of these three people, one has a face like a crown of jade, lips like rouge, two big protruding ears, with a peaceful face, they look very kind;

A three-strand long beard, with a red complexion as heavy as a jujube, like high blood pressure, but tall and mighty;

There is another one who has a straight beard, round eyes and horizontal eyebrows, but he is angular, and there is a bit of handsomeness between the corners, but there seems to be a sinister look between his eyebrows, and he seems to have a bad temper.

The potter swallowed lightly. Although he was suspicious, he didn't dare to identify rashly. He turned to Cao Cao and asked, "Brother Meng De, who are these three?"

"Oh!" Cao Cao stood up with a smile, and said, "Gongsun Bogui distributed [-] elites to help us along the way, and these three are the chief generals who led the [-] elites under the orders of General Gongsun. This is Commander Pingyuan. Liu Bei, Liu Xuande! Cao Mou just asked for advice just now, Xuande is the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan, and is of the blood of the royal family."

really!The pottery merchant was a little excited. He never expected that the majestic Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han would also meet him today!

I don't know if it's God's will that the leaders of Wei, Shu and Wu countries are actually squeezed together with me in this small handsome tent at this moment. Could it be that God gave me a chance to ask them to sign one by one?
