Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Due to the unfortunate death of Sun Jian, General Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others supported Sun Jian’s eldest son, Sun Ce, and went to Yuan Shu’s command. Losing Sun Jian, a Jiangdong warrior, Yuan Shu suddenly collapsed and interrupted the state of war with Liu Biao.

Although Huang Zu killed Sun Jian according to Kuailiang’s strategy, Liu Biao was also shocked by the combat effectiveness of Jiang Dongbing. In addition, the battle with Sun Jian lost his troops and the Jingzhou Army lost its spirit, so he shrank in Jingzhou and stopped advancing to Nanyang County. Therefore, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao took the Xinye line as the boundary and stopped attacking each other.

But as Xu Rong returned to Wuguan, he and Dong Zhuojun of Hangu Pass formed a pincer confrontation with Liu Ye's army stationed in Tongguan, and the flames of war ignited in the Guanzhong area.

Wuguan.

Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to break into Xu Rong's mansion and immediately asked: "General Xu, when will our army attack Tongguan and fight Liu Ye?"

Xu Rong shook his head: "Liu Ye has always been vigorous with soldiers. Most of the Liangzhou soldiers under his command are daring warriors. They are not the same as the Nanyang army, who was negligent in training under Yuan Gonglu. Our army cannot be eager to fight, and must slowly wait for the fighter.

Zhang Xiu frowned and wanted to persuade Xu Rong, but when he saw Xu Rong's face without waves, he swallowed it back.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran into the account.

"General! General Zuo is here."

Xu Rong couldn't help frowning when he heard these words.

General Zuo is Dong Min, Dong Zhuo’s clan brother. As the saying goes, one person can be ascended to heaven. Dong Zhuo is now the prime minister, so he naturally wants to promote his confidants. Dong Min is one of them. Although Dong Min’s ability is average, it’s anyway. From his family, Dong Zhuo named him General Zuo.

But... what is Dong Min doing at this juncture?

Xu Rong didn't have time to think about it, and said in a deep voice, "Go out with a to meet General Zuo."

The generals, headed by Zhang Xiu, followed Xu Rong and walked out of the camp together, only to see hundreds of riders in front of them with fanfare, surrounded by a luxuriously dressed knight slowly approaching Wuguan, the middle flag-bearer held one high. Pole flag.

General Zuo-Dong!

Xu Rong hurriedly led the generals to greet him.

"Final Xu Rong, I have met General Zuo!"

Xu Rong and others fell to the ground, while Dong Min smiled: "You are welcome, everyone, get up."

After all, Dong Min rode his horse past Xu Rong and others, dismounted at the gate of the camp, swaggered into it, and then sat on Xu Rong's main seat with a golden sword.

Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Dong Min is so rude! General Xu has experienced hundreds of battles and defeated the 60,000 army of Yuan Sun rebels in one battle. Why didn't Dong Min help General Xu!"

When the surrounding officers heard Zhang Xiu's words, they couldn't help being filled with anger, and they were unfair to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong waved his hand and said helplessly: "Well, General Zuo is a close person after all, how can his identity be the same as me?"

Although Xu Rong was valued by Li Ru, his military power, he defeated Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, but after all he was not in the line of Dong Zhuo. Even Li Yu, Guo Ben, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou could not be compared, let alone Dong Zhuo’s younger brother. Up.

Xu Rong and others walked into the account.

"Did the prime minister order General Zuo to oversee the army?" Xu Rongbao asked hopefully.

Dong Min shook his head, raised his chin and sneered: "No, the prime minister is worried about the battle on the west side, so the special commander came to supervise the army. General Xu, you and the 30,000 army under his command will be controlled from today."

Xu Rong's expression sank immediately. Does he still know what Dong Min is? It was because of Dong Zhuo's identity that he became the queen general, otherwise I am afraid that being a captain would not be considered qualified.

Does Dong Min have any record so far? Dong Zhuo never took Dong Min when he went out to fight, but put him in his hometown, because Dong Min was a cron, but could not fight.

What if the prime minister sends Dong Min over? Why didn't even the military division dissuade the prime minister? Liu Ye's army from Liangzhou broke through Tongguan and pointed at Luoyang aggressively. If this battle fails again, what force can stop Liu Ye?

That night Xu Rong tossed and turned, and at the same time received a letter from Li Ru.

"General Xu, the prime minister rushed to the doctor and was too worried about the war on the Western Front. Therefore, the special General Zuo came to restrain the army, not because he did not trust General Xu, but General Zuo was negligent after all. Please help General Xu. "

In fact, Li Ru also complained in his heart. He knew what Dong Min was, but he couldn't help it. Dong Min is Dong Zhuo's younger brother. As the saying goes, even if Dong Min is incapable, he is trustworthy.

But Hangu Pass is already Luoyang's last line of defense!

Once the Hangu Pass is broken, there are many mountains around Luoyang, and the semi-enclosed terrain is very conducive to the Liangzhou army closing the door to fight dogs, so Hangu Pass must be held anyway.

Wuguan is also important, because once Liu Ye drives Xiliang cavalry to break through Wuguan and connect with Yuan Shu, then the momentum will grow stronger.

Only win, not lose!

This is the military order Li Ru gave to Xu Rong.

"Xu Rong, I would have a suggestion, what do you think?"

Dong Min sat on the main seat and suddenly spoke.

Xu Rong said solemnly: "General Zuo, please speak."

Dong Min smiled and said: "A certain person is leading 20,000 horses, and General Xu Rong leads 10,000 horses. You and I attack separately. How about pinching Liu Ye?"

After hearing this, Xu Rong lowered his head, frowning slightly.

Splitting the forces in two ways is a good strategy, but it also depends on who the leader is... Even if it’s not the prestigious veteran in Dong Zhuo’s army such as Li Lao Guo Bang, even Hu Zhenzhang Embroidery and others can barely serve, but Dong Min...

"General Zuo's strategy is very good, so this will go down to divide the army with General Zuo."

Xu Rong still agreed. After all, Dong Min's identity was placed here and he couldn't easily offend him.

When Dong Min heard Xu Rong's promise, he couldn't help but laughed: "It's easy to say, wait for Liu thief to be destroyed, to retake Tongguan, to break Chang'an, to capture and kill the pseudo-emperor Liu Bian, this general will definitely take credit for the generals!"

Xu Rong clasped his fists and walked out of the camp, Zhang Xiu couldn't help it immediately.

"General! What kind of stuff is Dong Min? Can he lead an army of 20,000? At least the general should lead the main force. Dong Min will lead a partial teacher, right?"

Zhang Xiu said angrily.

Xu Rong sighed: "School Wei Zhang, the misfortune comes out of the mouth. It is better to say less in the future. General Zuo lacks battlefield experience. Until now, he has to send more experienced military lieutenants to help General Zuo. ."

"Li Meng, Wang Fang!"

The second general clasped his fists and stepped forward: "What does the general command?"

Xu Rong commanded: "The two of you led the lower part of the army to protect General Zuo. There is no difference, understand?"

The two generals looked at each other and said, "Here!"
