Chapter 46: The Doom of Dong Zhuo
(First of all, I still ask for a subscription. The recommendation ticket is free and free of charge. Of course, it would be better if there are rewards or something. I am not picky about food. Hehe; and I also want to thank the book friend "Heiyi" for the 100-point reward. Love it.
Are you okay? Well, I’m going to vomit myself~)
Ma Chao has been very high-spirited recently, he knows that he has finally come to the world.
If Yan Xing was previously deprived of the title of No. 1 Military General of Xiliang, a lot of it was because he was the eldest son of Ma Teng, the shepherd of Liangzhou and Huaili Hou. This status played a role to some extent.
Even if his performance against the Qiang people and his confrontation with Yan Xing are facts that can be corroborated, but it still needs to be considered as a rectification of his name.
Recently, he led the Ma Jiajun to sing a triumphant song and repeatedly won the battle against Dong Zhuo's army. Following this, his reputation began to spread throughout the world, just like when he first challenged Dong Zhuo's alliance.
Before the Battle of Hulao, Lu Bu's reputation was limited to the north, especially around Bingzhou. After the First World War, Lu Bu became famous all over the world and was known as the God of War in Hulao.
In fact, after several internal and external raids by Ma Teng's army, when the war started again, the difference in strength between the two warring parties was not big, and the strength could only be said to be similar. However, Dong Zhuo could not find anyone under Dong Zhuo in Gyeonggi who could fight in either direction.
His personal bravery was still a military commander who rivaled Ma Chao in commanding the army, and the morale of the army fell to a low point after being defeated time and time again by Ma Teng's army led by Ma Chao.
On the other hand, Han Suijun, who always took advantage of Ma Tengjun and never took the initiative to attack, began to gradually come to the forefront under the leadership of Yan Xing, the former number one general in Xiliang. The confrontation with Dong Zhuojun also began to change.
Most of them are fighting head-on, and perhaps because they are afraid of being beaten by Ma Chao. Now Dong Zhuojun is a little afraid of Ma Chao, but in fact they probably haven't figured out whether Ma Chao belongs to "horse" or "horse".
Han".
Ma Chao saw this and was a little dissatisfied. When they defeated Luoyang and entered the city, Ma Chao and Yan Xing met on the narrow road on Xiamen Avenue. He couldn't help but hum: "Yan Yanming, you did something.
But it will disgrace your reputation as the most powerful general in Xiliang."
Yan Xing has completely different personalities from Ma Chao. Although he sometimes still has the competitiveness of some young people, he is much more reserved compared to Ma Chao. And compared to Ma Chao's unscrupulous style, he is more obedient.
Although his father-in-law, Han Sui, did not follow his orders, it was necessary to suppress some of his own initiative.
So when facing Ma Chao, he was almost provocative. He just smiled and was noncommittal.
Ma Chao suddenly felt that his punch was like hitting cotton. There was no focus at all, so it naturally couldn't hurt anyone. He was helpless. Although he was confident that his force could overwhelm Yan Xing. This was also true, but this feeling was undoubtedly
Very uncomfortable.
It’s just that he didn’t know what Yan Xing was thinking at this time. Looking at Ma Chao, Yan Xing sneered in his heart: “I just gave you a useless name as the number one warrior in Xiliang. It seems that what my father-in-law said is indeed true.
, If you want to deal with Ma Teng, you must first deal with Ma Chao. If you want to deal with Ma Chao, you only need to be arrogant and make him extremely satisfied."
Of course, Yan Xing didn’t know what Ma Chao was thinking: “My father asked me to deliberately provoke Yan Xing many times, but unfortunately he didn’t take the bait, and instead retreated step by step, making it difficult for me to keep pressing forward. It was really... extremely frustrating!
"
Both sides have their own secrets here, but that's it. Going any further would cross the line, just like the relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui at this time. Because of the previous civil war in Liangzhou, the two were at odds with each other now.
Because Dong Zhuo's relationship is temporarily cooperative, but the relationship cannot be restored to the past, but on the surface, such a cooperative relationship must be maintained, so privately, boundaries have been drawn, and whoever crosses the boundary will be punished without the other party taking action.
You have to punish yourself.
There is no rule without rules, even if there are such secret rules, you must abide by them.
At this time, Cheng Gongying, who was standing next to Yan Xing, came over and whispered: "Major General, the most urgent task is to expel Dong Zhuo's army. At the same time, we should get in touch with the aristocratic families in the city first. This is what the general told us when we came out."
Although Han Sui was a scribe, he often regarded himself as a general in Jincheng, so his subordinates naturally called him this way to cater to him. And he only had one daughter, so Yan Xing, who was also his only son-in-law, naturally
Became a major general.
The aristocratic families in the city that Cheng Gongying mentioned were actually local wealthy families such as the Wei family in Chang'an. The opening of the city gate was due to them, and it was Han Sui's credit to be able to contact them this time.
After all, Han Sui has a well-known literary name in Liangzhou, plus Ma Teng is a descendant of the founding hero, and with the convenience of the alliance of princes, Chang'an Webster naturally knows how to choose.
Yan Xing nodded, made an invitation gesture to Ma Chao, and said: "Meng Qi should be the first to attack the city this time, and he should take the first step as he should."
Ma Chao curled his lips. Compared to Yan Xing, who was completely mature both in terms of age and psychology, he still had the willfulness of a young man. Of course, he also knew the importance and would not make trouble casually and unreasonably.
Since Yan Xing even gave in on such a matter, leaving him with no reason to use the excuse as originally intended, he had no choice but to continue to press for it, as that would be too much.
So they reached a tacit understanding and stopped arguing, but worked together.
On the other hand, after the fall of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo's army did not have a fixed station in a short period of time and became a wandering army.
At this time, Dong Zhuo felt somewhat regretful. If he had listened to Li Ru's advice and taken the initiative to withdraw from Chang'an and then transferred to Hedong, he would not have ended up in the situation he is in now.
At this time, Hedong has also been gradually taken over by people from the alliance of princes. Dong Zhuo has missed the best opportunity to enter this place. Otherwise, if there are several internal princes on one side and Han and Horse on the other, they will restrain each other.
I wanted to stay safe despite the possibility of a strong counterattack by Dong Zhuo.
It is impossible to occupy Hedong County; and at this time, no one wants to suffer any more losses, and the alliance of princes must have different opinions. Therefore, if Dong Zhuo can take the opportunity to occupy Hedong before this, he will not only have a place to recuperate, but also gain it himself.
A chance to breathe, but it is obviously impossible now.
Of course, even if Dong Zhuo regretted it, he only kept it in his heart and could not show it. It would be too detrimental to his majesty.
Li Ru knew this very well, but he didn't know what to say. He could only sigh secretly. It was really a wrong step, wrong step after step. In fact, now that he thinks about it, there are many factors that caused it to reach this point, but there is also a certain inevitability. Especially as Dong Zhuo's self-aggrandizement becomes more and more intense, not to mention people like Lu Bu and Li Su, sometimes I can't stand him.
Standing alone in the temporary camp of Dong Zhuo's army in Xinfeng County, with the evening wind blowing by, looking up at the stars in the sky, Li Ru's thoughts seemed to drift into the nine heavens.
At this time, Li Ru didn't notice at all. In the blind corner of his sight, a black shadow flashed and disappeared, and then quickly disappeared into the dark night.
