Five hundred and ninetieth chapters Ling Juguan front
Liangzhou City, Royal Palace.
Dong Wen, who was dressed in dirty clothes, walked towards the palace with a cold face. After only a few steps, the substitute who was sitting in the palace and lying on the concubine was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and trembled.
Dong Wen had no expression on his face. As he passed by, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed the double to death in the palace.
Dong Wen slumped down on the throne and dismissed the concubines. Dong Wen closed his eyes bitterly. A confidant came in hurriedly and carried the body out.
"Yu Rong, what did you say before?"
With just one sentence, a Liangzhou general who followed him into the palace quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You told me that there is a country in the Western Regions less than a thousand miles away. I went there without stopping -" Dong Wen's face turned ferocious, "Damn it, it's just a small town of barbarians settling in an oasis!"
"My lord, first of all, I investigated earlier and found out that the leader there indeed said that he is a country of his own."
"Two hundred thousand taels, in exchange for only fifteen thousand soldiers and horses! If it had been last year, I, Dong Wen, would have sent a large army to destroy these barbarians and dogmen!"
Clang.
Dong Wen raised his leg in anger and kicked over the jade table in front of him.
"I think you still have a little bit of success, go back to the camp and prepare to go to war!"
When Yu Rong left, the feeling of deathly silence in the empty palace enveloped Dong Wen again.
Without summoning his attendants, Dong Wen trembled his hands, silently put on his robes and armor, tied on his cloak, took out his gold-plated spear, and put on his wolf sinew bow.
He remembered that when he was a child, every time his father went to war, there would always be many people surrounding him, telling him to be careful and not to be careless, and then they would pray to God for peace and victory.
He has nothing now. Even Sima Xiu, who was like an old friend, also died in Shuzhou. If he had been more stable at that time and followed Sima Xiu's strategy, he might not be where he is today.
.
"Come on!"
After putting on the armor, Dong Wen's entire face became crazy and ferocious. In the flickering candlelight, he looked like an angry beast.
…
"My lord, Dou Tong and Fan Lu from Wenlang City have already brought their army to join us."
After receiving the news, Xu Mu was overjoyed. The only pity is that Yu Wen's army has not arrived yet, but the intelligence said that it is not far away.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have sent 300 scouts to the Wenlang City area to be on guard against Liangzhou's invasion."
Xu Mu smiled and nodded.
Under such circumstances, Dong Wen would definitely not go to great lengths to reoccupy Wenlang City. It was like a commodity that had expired and could no longer be eaten.
Dong Wen's Liangzhou defensive circle, if there are no accidents, will still focus on Ling Juguan.
"My lord, has he already got a good plan?" Dou Tong asked urgently. As a general of Shuzhou, he and Xu Mu were worried about the same thing, which was nothing more than the tens of thousands of Liangqi.
"Yes, but we still need to prepare."
Dou Tong wanted to ask again, but suddenly he heard the sound of tong drums coming from outside Lucheng. Only when everyone turned around did they find that in the direction of Lucheng towards Shuzhou, under the bright morning light, a
The vast army was like a giant snake, winding its way between heaven and earth.
"Lord, Muyun State's army has arrived!"
"Okay." Xu Mu clenched his fist and turned around, "Six Heroes, it's time, go make the announcement."
Yin Hu clasped his fists, he naturally understood what Xu Mu meant, and immediately walked away.
"Transmit the order, as soon as General Yu enters the city, all generals please enter their tents, and the army meeting to conquer Liang will begin!"
…
Within a few days, the Lingjuguan area was already well prepared.
Wearing his battle armor, Dong Wen led many Liangzhou generals and counselors and stood at the top of the city of Lingju Pass, overlooking the scenery outside the pass.
Liangqi running horses, one camp after another, would raise up yellow sand all over the sky from time to time. Countless civilians also began to rush to repair the city gate and lay down a series of fortifications.
"Uncle Clan, have all the stone-throwing camps been mobilized?" Dong Wen looked away and asked with a smile.
Dong Yuan, who was standing by, only heard the word "Uncle" and was flattered. Previously, at the west gate of Lucheng, he was attacked by Shu cavalry with eight thousand fine cavalry. Although he survived, he never thought
, Dong Wen did not punish him.
"Don't worry, my lord, more than ten more have been shipped from Anzhou. Now there are more than thirty stone-throwing camps in Lingju Pass, which is enough to defend it. In addition, there are crossbows and arrow pots, as well as the collected stone-throwing camps.
Everything is available. If the Shu people try to knock the pass, they will definitely suffer a lot."
Dong Wen shook his head and said, "Uncle Clan, this is wrong. What I want is for you to send the stone-throwing camp to the pass and build an earthen city about twenty miles outside the pass."
Dong Yuan was startled and said, "My lord, it will be beneficial to defend the city."
Dong Wen smiled and said, "Uncle, when fighting against civilian thieves, you must not fall into a passive position. Once you become passive, you will be led by the civilian thieves."
"Outside the pass, there is a flat river. We have countless fine cavalry in Shuzhou. If we want to defeat Shu, we should charge with cool cavalry and kill the Shu people."
"As soon as the Shu people get close to Lingju Pass, with the cooperation of the stone-throwing camp, they will first bombard them repeatedly, and then wait for the Shu people to panic, and then use the Liangqi army to sweep behind them, and the Shu people can defeat them."
Lingju Guanli stationed 100,000 Liang troops. Of course, this was only a superficial figure. Based on Dong Wen's knowledge, if you didn't have any backup plan to fight against the civilian thieves, it would probably be a defeat.
"Yu Rong, pass the order. In this decisive battle with the Shu people, if you kill a Shu general, you can be promoted to a county general. If you kill a Shuzhou general, you will be promoted to Liangzhou general. If you take the commoner thief's title,
Goutou, I, Dong Wen, hereby swear an oath to be the first general of the three states in Liangdi, and I will be rewarded with five thousand gold coins, and a fiefdom and food!"
This reward is already somewhat astonishing.
Even Yu Rong, who delivered the order, was a little surprised.
Standing on the top of the city, Dong Wen fully understood that the common thieves in Shuzhou in the southwest were the biggest obstacle to his great cause of hegemony.
Facing the cold wind, Dong Wen stood coldly for a while, then suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Dong Yuan.
"Uncle Clan, it seems it's too late for the Fuxun tribe to join forces."
Dong Yuan nodded, "I sent an envoy earlier, saying that I would arrive at Lingju Pass in two or three days. But now, it has been more than five days."
Dong Wen frowned. The Scimitar Cavalry from the Xun tribe was also a big help to him. If he gave up the battle at this time, he would probably miss a chance.
…
In the windy desert, King Fuxun just wanted to scold his mother. In order to help the cold weather and give the Fuxun tribe a chance to enter the Central Plains, he mobilized more than 30,000 Xiqiang people as early as winter.
Sword rider.
But he never thought that just two days after leaving the tribe, he heard the news of King Yudang's attack. King Fu Xun had no choice but to send back eight thousand scimitar riders to protect the tribe.
But not long after, the bad news came that the eight thousand warriors had been defeated.
"Old Yu Dang, don't let me catch him, or he will be roasted alive." Riding on the horse, King Fu Xun gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, Prince Liang is still waiting to join forces——"
"Go back to the tribe first. If the women, children, and foals are robbed by Yu Dang, how can I help the tribe grow stronger!"
