Chapter 154: Sima Yi: Ge Liang, I will definitely defeat you!
Ma Teng and the envoys sent by Han Sui went to Guandong to ask for help from various princes in Guandong. Now all the princes knew about Dong Zhuo's big move, and the relationship between the princes in the Guandong area suddenly became tense.
In order to prevent Dong Zhuo's power from growing, Yuan Shao once again launched the alliance to defeat Dong as the leader of the alliance to defeat Dong, and held an alliance in Chenliu, Cao Cao's Yanzhou, to support Xiliang.
The heroes gathered in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao naturally had no objection. Once Dong Zhuo defeated Xiliang, Yanzhou and Bingzhou were the two states closest to Dong Zhuo, and their next targets were definitely Yanzhou and Bingzhou.
But this time there was no response from the crowd like the first time, and they came one after another.
Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian needed to check and balance each other, but they did not dare to send troops. Even if they did, they would not use much force. Liu Yan of Yizhou said that he was old and could no longer make trouble, so he did not send troops to help.
Tao Qian also said that he was too old, so he asked his subordinate Zang Ba to lead 5,000 soldiers to make an alliance. Anyway, the next pastor of Xuzhou would be selected by the immortals. He was too lazy to worry about it and just wanted to enjoy the last time of his life.
.
After learning about this, Kong Rong led 8,000 troops to join the alliance. Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan also temporarily put aside their hatred of Yuan Shao, and each led 10,000 soldiers to join the alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo.
"Oh, I didn't expect that after a year, only a few of the former eighteen princes came here." Yuan Shao sighed while sitting in the leader's seat.
This time he brought the largest number of troops, bringing a total of 50,000 elite troops, full of sincerity!
He had the same worries as Cao Cao. Once Dong Zhuo was allowed to enter Guandong, it would be another disaster for the Guandong princes. Instead of doing this, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo's main force is in Liangzhou, take the opportunity to break into Chang'an, eradicate Dong Zhuo, and then
Even if it doesn't work, we must attract Dong Zhuo's main force from Liangzhou to relieve the pressure on Liangzhou!
In this power assessment, Dong Zhuo won the first place in four assessments and gained a large number of power points. His power became stronger again. He believed that if they delayed for a while, they might not be able to stop Dong Zhuo if they unite.
Got it!
"Yes, our eighteen princes used to be so majestic." Looking at the people who came to the alliance this time, Cao Cao also felt sad.
The only people who came this time were Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Zhang Yang and the newly joined Lu Bu. Not even half of the princes from their first alliance, and all the princes who came were from their north!
"Meng De, please tell everyone about Dong Zhuo's current situation." Yuan Shao stopped being sentimental and asked Cao Cao to analyze Dong Zhuo's situation for them.
"Okay, then let me introduce Dong Zhuo's current situation."
As he spoke, his servants held up a map and hung it on a shelf. Cao Cao pointed to Jincheng on the map and said to everyone: "At present, Anding has been confirmed to have fallen. All the surrounding counties and towns have been occupied by Dong Zhuo, and all the people in the city have been captured."
Prisoners, this is why Dong Zhuo ranks first in population and territory increase!"
"Including the Xiliang people recruited by Dong Zhuo, there are a total of 120,000 troops!"
"Isn't that right? With an army of 120,000, Ma Teng and Han Sui shouldn't be able to stop them!" Yuan Shao said doubtfully after hearing this.
Ma Teng and Han Sui combined have an army of 100,000. Even if they can't defeat them, they don't know that they need to call for reinforcements after being beaten by Dong Zhuo, right?
And in such a close battle, how could Li Ru's IQ allow Dong Zhuo to launch it?
"Benchu is right. Logically speaking, this should be a lose-lose situation."
"But I can tell you that Dong Zhuo has a group of steel cavalry, all covered with steel armor. They usually have one man and two horses, one horse carries the man, and one horse carries the armor. The steel cavalry is only used in battle.
Wearing armor, this kind of cavalry is invulnerable and unstoppable when charging!"
"And their weapons are sophisticated and can cut iron as well as clay. I suspect that Dong Zhuo obtained some kind of technology from the Book of Heaven." Cao Cao said extremely seriously. This is the main reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't defeat Dong Zhuo. Basically, Xiliang
They were all cavalry. When their cavalry clashed with such heavily armored cavalry, they were instantly crushed by the opponent. Coupled with the disparity in weapons, they had no chance of fighting Dong Zhuo.
"Wow!"
After hearing what Cao Cao said, the few princes who came here started talking about it. They didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so powerful without knowing it!
"Oh, it's all my fault! I didn't choose the Book of Chemistry at the beginning!" Yuan Shao regretted hearing Cao Cao saying that Dong Zhuo might have obtained some kind of technology from the Book of Heaven, which made him so powerful.
He always felt that he had chosen the most useless mathematics book, and even now he has not figured out the use of this mathematics.
"Brother Gongtai, can you tell me what the content of the Physics Book is?" Cao Cao asked Chen Gong who was beside Liu Bei. Currently, only Liu Bei has the most books. Yuan Shao's mathematics and Chen Gong's physics are all in Liu Bei's hands.
here.
"The Book of Heaven is obscure and difficult to understand, and I haven't studied it yet to understand it." Chen Gong casually found an excuse and said perfunctorily.
"Haha, since Mr. Chen can't understand, why not hand it over for everyone to work together as a consultant. Maybe the way to deal with Dong Zhuo lies in the Physics Book?" Yuan Shao wanted to take the opportunity to ask Chen Gong to hand over the Physics Book.
Perhaps in the past Chen Gong might have handed it over to Yuan Shao due to pressure from Yuan Shao.
But among the princes coming now, which one belongs to you, Yuan Shao?
"I, Chen Gong, said that whoever kills Dong Zhuo, I will naturally give the Book of Heaven to him with both hands!" Chen Gong used this reason again to block Yuan Shao's mouth.
When Yuan Shao heard Chen Gong's words, he snorted dissatisfied and asked Cao Cao to continue: "Meng De, please continue."
Seeing that the two stopped arguing, Cao Cao stood up again to explain the current situation.
"Dong Zhuo has the map of Liangzhou. Ma Teng and Han Sui can't hold on for long, so we have to take the opportunity to attack Chang'an and make Dong Zhuo have to defend, in order to relieve the pressure on Liangzhou!"
"We only have one way to go from Guan Nei to Chang'an, and that is to go around Bingzhou!" Cao Cao said, pointing to the junction of Bingzhou and Hetao on the map!
None of the people sitting here were fools, and no one asked why they didn't just pass through Hangu Pass. Although Hangu Pass only had 20,000 defenders, it could rely on the steep terrain to withstand a million troops.
"General Gongsun, the two men currently stationed in Hetao are Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu. Hetao is a plain area, which is most suitable for cavalry. General Gongsun has the most cavalry here. This time, we have to trouble General Gongsun to spearhead the alliance," Cao Cao introduced.
After that, they began to make strategic arrangements and let Gongsun Zan take the vanguard.
"This..." Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei and began to hesitate in his heart. Although the forwards contributed the most, they also suffered the greatest losses. Maybe he was willing to be a forward when he attacked the Dong Alliance last time, but things are different now.
After all, he didn't want to be a striker, nor did he want to be such a useless leader. He came here just to save Liu Bei's face.
Seeing Gongsun Zan's hesitation, Cao Cao felt secretly in his heart. This time, not only did their alliance to defeat Dong not come in small numbers, but those who came may not have the intention to defeat Dong.
"I, Liu Bei, can be the vanguard and clear the way for the allies, but I have a condition!" Just when Gongsun Zan hesitated, Liu Bei stood up and said.
"Xuande, please tell me."
"If our army achieves its first success, I need the leader Yuan to return Xiping County and Boping County that were occupied by our Pingyuan County!" Liu Bei wanted to use this to almost take back Xiping County and Boping County that Yuan Shao occupied.
"Impossible!" When Yuan Shao heard Liu Bei's conditions, he vetoed them without even thinking. He had lost so much to win these two counties. You want to go back as soon as you ask, don't even think about it!
"Brother Lu, calm down, calm down, Brother Xuande, don't forget the reason why the eighteen princes failed to attack Dong when we first participated in the Immortal Question and Answer. Now we can't repeat the same mistake again!" Cao Cao looked at it!
When the two were about to quarrel again, they immediately comforted Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, fearing that they would have another quarrel and cause the alliance to disband.
The other side.
"Xun Zhongling, what are you doing here? My lord is looking for you." Xi Zhi asked curiously when he saw Xun Yu standing there not knowing what he was doing.
"Haha, I discovered something interesting!" Xun Yu said, pointing to Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang who were having a math competition on the other side.
"Hey, isn't this Sima Yi? Who is the other child?" Xi Zhicai saw this scene and asked curiously. Sima Yi is famous for his intelligence here. No one his age is his opponent. Who is this child?
Ah, how dare you compete with Sima Yi.
"I don't know, Liu Bei brought it. Let's go." Xun Yu heard that Cao Cao was looking for him, so he stopped watching. The winner was already divided. The two had competed for three games, and Sima Yi lost them all. Liu Bei
The child he brought was definitely not simple. Sima Yi, who was called a tiger by the immortals, was completely defeated!
When Xi Zhi saw Xun Yu leaving, he left with him to find Cao Cao.
"So straight line A and B are equal to straight line C and D!"
"I won this game again!"
Zhuge Liang handed the piece of paper with the answer to the proof process to Sima Yi and asked him to look at it. He announced his victory and turned around to leave. The winner was already decided, and there was no point in competing anymore!
Chen Gong brought him here this time to give him a lot of experience, but he didn't expect that here he would meet a person of his own age who was also good at mathematics.
The two seemed to have found a close friend and communicated a lot. Later, Sima Yi proposed to compete with Zhuge Liang to see who was better at mathematics.
After four rounds of competition, they all won by themselves!
"Ge Liang, I will definitely surpass you!" Sima Yi shouted towards Zhuge Liang's background. He did not expect that mathematics, which he was proud of, would be defeated so miserably by this peer!
As for the Ge Liang that Sima Yi mentioned, it was Zhuge Liang's pseudonym, completely to prevent others from guessing that he was Zhuge Kongming through his surname Zhuge.
