On the south bank of the Yellow River, a huge team is marching.
This army numbered more than 10,000 people, forming a long snake formation heading north, stretching for several miles from end to end. Flags were like clouds, and spears were like forests. People and horses passed by, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun. You can feel it even from a long distance.
To that soaring murderous aura!
It was winter, and there were not many birds and animals in the mountains and forests. However, just looking at the few vultures hovering far away in the sky and not daring to get even closer, we can see the intimidating power of this army.
In troubled times, not only people will learn to adapt to survive, but birds and beasts will do the same. Vultures who are not very intelligent also know that wherever the army passes, there must be delicious food, but this requires patience. If you are too hasty, you will only lose your life.
.
A large flag stands high above the flag forest, with a big "Niu" character written on it, and slightly lower next to it is a large flag with the character "Zhang". If you are familiar with the Xiliang Army, you should know that this is Xiliang
The soldiers and horses led by Zhonglang General Niu Fu, the head of the six military departments of the army, and his subordinate Zhang Ji.
Apparently, the two men had joined forces, and after resting and recuperating, they came to take revenge.
Where the soldiers are pointing is Heyang!
From a distance, the former army had already seen the reflection of the river ice. Seeing that the target was approaching, the murderous intent of the entire army became even higher.
However, at this moment, a fast horse rode in the opposite direction and went straight into the central army, causing the soldiers of the front army to look around endlessly. A moment later, the order from the central army surprised them even more. What came was not
The order to cross the river was to suspend the advance!
The momentum of the army immediately stagnated.
Needless to say, Niu Fu's team almost collapsed on the night of Wang Yu's assassination. At first, it was just an internal strife between Lu Bu and the Xiliang soldiers, but the situation quickly got out of control, and the small-scale internal strife turned into a large-scale internal strife.
The scale of the camp was roaring, no matter how Niu Fu commanded and dispatched it, it would not help.
Although several days of repairs had gone by, the morale of the Niu Fu Army was only maintained above the standard, far from its previous peak.
Zhang Ji's troops were not much better. They got up in the middle of the night, ran for hundreds of miles, and returned with a miserable defeat. It is strange that the morale of an army with such an experience would be high.
Of course, Zhang Ji did not really lose the battle.
But in the eyes of the soldiers, they were unable to capture the camp, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, and then retreated in panic. They even abandoned the camp in Ping County and retreated to Heyin. Isn't this a disastrous defeat?
After repeated encouragement from the generals, the fact that we were outnumbered, and the encouragement of generous rewards, the morale of the soldiers finally improved. They just wanted to rush across the river in one go, annihilate the weak enemy forces, and get promoted and make a fortune.
.
Who would have thought that what was waiting for him was an order to stop advancing. It was strange that morale did not fluctuate.
Niu Fu and Zhang Ji were both veteran generals in the army, so they naturally knew this truth. However, the military information brought by the scouts gave them no choice.
"Run away? That stubborn Wang Kuang actually ran away? This is a guilty conscience. The assassin was indeed sent by him! If I catch this thief, I will cut him into pieces!" Niu Fu gritted his teeth.
roared.
The first year of Chuping for General Niu Fu had a nightmare beginning.
Originally, he was going to Hedong County to deal with the Baibo bandits. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans colluded with the Guandong princes and wanted to take advantage of the alliance of princes to contain the main force of the Xiliang Army to gain some advantages.
Hedong County is connected to Bingzhou in the north, and Hongnong County is connected to the east and west capitals in the south. If something goes wrong, the Xiliang Army's retreat may be cut off, so it must be guarded by heavy generals.
Niu Fu took the opportunity to ask for his life.
Firstly, the military situation was very important, and he, a direct descendant of Dong Zhuo, had to do his part; secondly, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to stay away from the tigress at home, which was similar in size to his father, and enjoy some tenderness.
But he didn't expect Wang Kuang to suddenly jump out and disrupt the situation. The threat from the Hanoi army may not be greater than that of the Baibo bandits, but it is so close that it cannot be ignored.
The allied forces of the princes were already threatening to encircle him. Dong Zhuo was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was stretched thin, with a serious shortage of troops. For this reason, he even transferred Xu Rong's troops, who were still not very relieved, to Liang County to defend against the coalition forces in the direction of Nanyang.
Send extra troops and horses to deal with the Hanoi army?
This responsibility can only fall on Niu Fu. Who makes him the number one direct descendant, who has the most and strongest troops under his command?
At that time, the Yellow River was not frozen, so Niu Fu could not cross the river, and he could not use his military advantage. So he divided his troops into two groups and asked Li Cui and Guo Si to lead troops to rescue Hedong, while he dealt with Wang Kuang himself. Of course, the little beauty in the county town
It is also one of the important factors.
Then, the nightmare began.
A few days after the tender dream, my father-in-law suddenly appeared in the Heyin camp. The mountain was overwhelming and he was fighting for love. Niu Fu wanted to cry without tears, and his liver and intestines were broken. Then, a sudden change occurred, like a bolt from the blue, and my father-in-law was actually there.
He was assassinated in the camp and lost one of his ears!
Niu Fu was in a mess at that time. He, the general, had no idea, and the military camp became more chaotic. As a result, the entire army almost collapsed.
Insufficient protection, lax management of the army, ineffective entrustment, poor character... Many crimes fell on him. Although his life was not in danger because of his identity, Dong Zhuo was furious and frightened.
Hit.
Dong Zhuo was a military general and had great strength. He liked to hit people by himself, punching to the flesh, especially in the face. The poor and innocent Niu Fu was beaten to the point where he was no longer human. After Zhang Ji returned to the army after hearing the news, he almost didn't recognize him.
boss.
Therefore, Niu Fu's resentment can be imagined. He did not dare to resent his father-in-law, and he could not deal with Lu Bu, the assassin. He could only vent his anger on the culprit - the assassin.
The assassin left his name before leaving, and all clues point to Wang Kuang!
"Wang Pengju of Mount Tai! Either Wang Kuang's nephew or a retainer! I swear to kill the entire Wang family of Mount Tai! Send an order to the entire army to cross the river to pursue him!"
"General, wait a minute." Seeing that the general was losing his mind, Zhang Ji hurriedly stopped him. He reminded: "General, with Wang Kuang's stubborn mind, how could he retreat so simply? We must beware of fraud!"
Niu Fu said: "He has only a few thousand soldiers, so what plan can he have? How can he win my army of 20,000?"
"General, please think carefully. Three days ago, did you think that Wang Kuang would send an assassin?" Zhang Ji looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Dong came so suddenly that even the last general didn't know anything about it.
Kuang is not a god, so naturally he cannot know that the assassin’s original target was you, the general!"
"Hiss..." Niu Fu was horrified and gasped.
He has been depressed for the past two days. He really didn't expect that he would send an assassin to kill the general and then take the opportunity to make a surprise attack. This is really a strange plan. If it weren't for Zhang Ji's surprise attack and accidentally broke the opponent's plan, he himself
I'm afraid the entire army has been wiped out!
Thinking of what Zhang Ji said about the abnormal situation of Hanoi's military reconnaissance cavalry, Niu Fu became more sure that the assassination operation that night was definitely not an isolated one, but the beginning of a series of schemes!
Looking at the faintly visible ice crystal jade belt, Niu Fu felt chills in his heart, as if he saw Wang Kuang raising the blade with a ferocious smile.
"Fortunately, Yuan Jiang reminded me, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be bad again. But what should we do now? Chase or not chase?" Niu Fu stared straight at Zhang Ji, who had the urge to roll his eyes.
Should we pursue or not? You can ask such a question, is it okay if you don’t pursue? The prime minister has lost an ear. If he doesn’t take Wang Kuang’s head back, everyone will be dead! At this time, you are still trying to shirk the blame.
Responsibility, no one in the Dong family is really good, not even their son-in-law is so bad.
"The general is not good at strategy. It is said that the Wuwei man whom the Prime Minister conquered a few days ago is very good at this. He is in the army, why not..." Zhang Ji can also play football, but his suggestion is very reasonable, Niu Fu
Nodding, the person Zhang Ji mentioned was not well-known, but Yan Zhong, a famous scholar, highly praised him. Since there is a famous scholar who likes him, he should have some ability.
Niu Fu followed his advice and gave the order, and the people arrived quickly.
The person who came was a fat man. He was different from Dong Zhuo's fat. This man was fat and white, with a round head and a rich look on his face. At first glance, he looked like a harmless wealthy gentleman, or someone who upheld the concept of being friendly and making money.
A wealthy businessman is not like a wise man with great resourcefulness.
Niu Fu frowned. According to his understanding, counselors should be like his brother-in-law Li Ru. They look like they have unique bones and are not ordinary. In fact, they are full of wisdom and tricks, not this...
Zhang Ji was also a little surprised. However, the suggestion was made by him. Naturally, he couldn't be cold-faced like Niu Fu. After all, he had to ask for help from others. Besides, after the Hanoi army was divided and disintegrated, each of the strategies to defeat them, on the surface,
It was Dong Zhuo's idea, but it came from this person in the beginning. It was because of his contribution that he was promoted to the rank of Captain of Pingjin.
Zhang Ji did not hide anything. He described the current situation in detail and then asked: "Jia Duwei, what do you think?"
The fat man blinked and asked, "Are you two generals sure there is an ambush on the other side? Have the scouts found any traces?"
"No." Zhang Ji shook his head: "However, be careful, the enemy is full of tricks..."
Frightened, the fat man pursed his lips, secretly despising the two generals, but with a bright smile on his face: "In that case, it doesn't matter if we don't cross the river."
"How do you say this?" Niu Fu became interested.
The fat man touched his round chin and said with a smile: "It is not difficult to catch up with the enemy. All you have to do is go eastward along the river and go straight to Mengjin. If Wang Kuang is willing to fight, he will set up a formation here. If there is no accident, the general can
Capture them with one drum; if the enemy has no intention of fighting, the alliance still has Han Hao's troops, and the general can attack them. After winning, the prime minister's anger can be abated. This is the method of advancing to attack and retreating to defend.
.”
"Have a fighting spirit? Could it be that he still doesn't understand Han Hao's attitude?" Zhang and Niu were both surprised. Xiliang's army was more than twice as large as Wang Kuang's army. Han Hao had another intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife. How could Wang Kuang do it?
So stupid that you get yourself killed?
"It's hard to say..." Fatty shook his head noncommittally, "There is too little information, but from a certain point of view, the person in charge of the Hanoi Army is probably not Wang Kuang, at least not the well-known Wang Kuang. Even if Wang Kuang takes risks,
There are traces to follow, and the assassination plan was obviously not done by him..."
"Who could that be?" the two generals asked in unison. Unknowingly, the dominance of the topic had changed hands, but the two of them had not realized it yet.
The fat man squinted his eyes and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's that... King Pengju of Mount Tai!"
"That assassin? Impossible!" The two generals shook their heads together.
As a general, if you dare to take the lead and charge into battle, you are already a world-famous fierce general. It is unheard of for a general to sneak into the enemy camp and assassinate him!
However, they do not intend to delve into this issue. No matter who the leader is, it is impossible to reverse the trend of strength and weakness.
This foolproof strategy is also to the liking of the second general, and the risk is not high. Even if Wang Kuang is not in Mengjin, he can still raid Han Hao. Anyway, this person is just avenging his personal revenge, and is not really on the side of the Xiliang army. It is said that he has evil intentions and sends assassins.
It's not a bad idea either.
The army turned around, and the fat man was thrown aside.
His colleagues pointed at him and laughed at him for giving up without seeing a good result and ruining a great opportunity. However, the fat man was not angry, and smiled with his eyes narrowed, looking good-natured.
In fact, his goal has been achieved. Without knowing the enemy's situation, it is indeed very risky to cross the river hastily. Anyway, if you win the battle across the river, you will get nothing; if you lose, your life will be in danger, so why bother?
It's none of your business, just worry about it, this is the fat man's philosophy of life.
If my judgment on that Wang Pengju is biased, the battle of Mengjin will definitely go smoothly. Even if the contribution of the advice cannot be converted into money, it is still a personal favor; if it is as expected, the battle of Mengjin will probably have twists and turns.
.
However, that doesn't matter. Anyway, I have laid the groundwork. When the time comes, the two idiots Niu Fu and Zhang Ji will definitely come to me for advice. Even if those two idiots are really stupid and don't listen to the advice, I can still advance in advance.
Try to protect yourself.
All that's left is to watch the show.
Thinking of this, the fat man smiled even brighter.
