Chapter 294

After Liu Ye broke through Tongguan, Guanzhong was as solid as gold. Except for the Qiang people in the West who needed to be careful, there was basically no need to deploy heavy troops everywhere.

Therefore, Liu Ye immediately ordered all the troops in the central part of the pass to assemble quickly.

Finally, a total of 20000 soldiers were dispatched from the counties of Yongliang and Liangzhou. After gathering in Chang'an, Liu Ye's No. 1 general, Yu Jian, personally led him. Then, he led 20000 troops to Tongguan before May.

"Wenze, you are here at last!"

Zhang jaw saw Yu Jin and immediately welcomed him with a big smile. Then a bear hugged him almost out of breath.

Yu Jin said with a smile: "meaningful meaning, did you make a lot of contributions this time?"

Zhang jaw shook his head: "my credit is nothing, this time we can break Tongguan mainly rely on our young heroes."

After that, Zhang jaw turned and said, "Meng Qi, you boy, come here."

Ma Chao heard the cry and turned to come over.

In the Han Dynasty, when he was 20 years old, he had to be crowned. Therefore, a man could not write until he was 20 years old. Ma Chao was only 17 years old, but because of his bravery, Ma Teng gave him his writing in advance.

Seeing Ma Chao at the head of an expert, Yu Jin immediately said with a smile: "Meng Qi led 3000 iron cavalry to cross the Weihe River and attack Tongguan. I heard about it. I'll follow the general of the western expedition well. In the future, it's no problem to seal Marquises and pay homage to generals."

Yu Jin can be regarded as an old man in Liu Ye's army. When he heard that Yu Jin praised himself so much, Ma Chao, who was naturally proud of himself, was also very happy: "Ma has heard that he is too famous as a general."

"Ha ha, what are you talking about here? I want to hear it

They turn around to see Liu Ye with a smile on his face. Guan Hai and Xun you are on the left and right.

When they saw Liu Ye coming, they immediately said, "see the great general of the western expedition!"

Liu Ye waved his hand: "no ceremony, please sit down."

After the generals were seated, Liu Ye immediately said to Xun you, "Gongda, tell us about Dong Jun's situation."

"Here it is." Mr. Xun Ye was appointed military counselor Liu Ye.

Xun you took a step and bowed to the left and right respectively. Then he said in a loud voice.

"According to the news reports, Xu Rong of Dong Zhuo's army had given up the army of Nanyang to return to Wuguan half a month ago. Xu Rong defeated Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's 60000 army, and all the 30000 Liangzhou soldiers under his command were valiant soldiers, but our army's strong enemy."

"The direction of Hanguguan is currently the defense of fan Hou, one of the general of Dong army. However, fan Hou has no intention of fighting and will probably stick to Hangu pass. Therefore, the opponent of our army is only Xu Rong's partial division. If we can defeat Xu Rong, the prestige of the army will certainly shake Luoyang, and Hanguguan can go down without fighting."

Hearing this, all generals understand that the key is to defeat Xu Rong. As long as we can defeat Xu Rong, all problems will be solved easily.

However, Xu Rong is a tough nut to crack.

Ma Chao's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He clasped his fist and said, "please master and I will capture Xu Rong and present them to your seat!"

Liu Ye smiles: "it's good that Meng Qi has this momentum, but Xu Rong's troops are clean and efficient. Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's 60000 troops have been defeated. Our army needs a long-term plan."

Zhang jaw has always been opposed to passive defense, so he said: "rather than wait for Xu Rong to come to the city, it is better for our army to take the initiative to find opportunities to cut off Xu Rong's food supply channel."

Xun you said to Zhang jaw: "Xu Rong is very strict in protecting the grain road. If our army attacks rashly, we are afraid that stealing chicken will not make rice."

Yu Jin frowned and said, "well, how about our army ambush on the way to snipe at the enemy troops?"

Jia Xu, who was silent on the side, suddenly said with a smile: "general Wenze, Xu Rong is an expert in ambush. He ambushes Yuan Shu and sees through Sun Jian's ambush plan. If he wants to ambush Xu Rong, it will be even more difficult."

For a moment, the generals fell into silence.

Guan Hai angrily said: "Damn it, isn't Xu Rongnan so powerful? Can he be more powerful than a million yellow scarves and 100000 Qiang soldiers? We have general Wen Ze, general Jun Yi, general Meng Qi and an, as well as Wenhe and Gongda. They are not as good as Xu Rong? "

Liu Ye can't help laughing when he hears Guan Hai's words, but he still decides.

"It's no good to be passive. If we wait until Xu Rong attacks Tongguan, our army will have no other way but to strictly guard against it and fight to the death. This is tantamount to making a decision on our own retreat."

"The generals will listen!"

"The end will be there!"

"Yu ban led the army for 10000 yuan, only Hongnong was taken."

"Here it is

"Zhang jaw led 5000 troops to kill benhu county."

"Here it is

"Ma Chao takes five thousand irons and takes Mianchi in three days."

"Here it is

Liu Ye solemnly said: "no matter what route Xu Rong is attacking, all generals are not allowed to go out of the city to engage the enemy without authorization. They should stick to the city and ask for help from all armies. They are not allowed to advance lightly. They should be under the unified command of the general. Do you understand?"Seeing the generals nodding, Liu Ye immediately ordered the generals to go down and prepare.

And Jia Xu on one side suddenly arched his hand and said, "general, there is one more thing."

Liu Ye nodded: "Wenhe said it."

"The main force of our army is concentrated at Tongguan, and it is useless for captain pound to display the banner of general in Hexi county. Since the enemy knows that our main force is not in Hexi, Dong Zhuo must order Duan simmer to clean up and attack pound."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Ye suddenly realized: "Wenhe, you should write a letter to Lingming immediately, and ask him to send the civilian husband back. Don't fight with Duan simmer, just harass him with iron horse."

Jia Xu nodded.

Under Liu Ye's command, more than 20000 Liangzhou troops went out of Tongguan, stirring up the Sili area.

On the second day of May, Zhang jaw led the army to conquer Huxian county.

On the fourth day of the third day, Yu Jin led ten thousand soldiers to attack Hongnong, and Hu Fu fled in a hurry and killed more than 2000 people.

On the fifth day of the eighth day, Ma Chao led 5000 cavalry troops to attack Mianchi.

At the same time, Liu Ye, with Xun you's draft of the book of suing the people, refuted Dong Zhuo's brutal action with severe brush strokes. At the same time, he told the people in the area of Sili that the great general for the western expedition was the king's division, and that the people would not be alarmed.

Dong Zhuo himself was cruel and inhumane. Naturally, the quality of Dong Jun can be imagined. Dong Jun even sent troops to massacre thousands of people when people gathered. The men cut off their heads and said that they were returning from suppressing bandits, while the women were directly acting as camp prostitutes.

The quality of the Liangzhou army can't be said to be so good, but it's not afraid of comparing people with people, just afraid of goods comparing goods. After experiencing Dong Zhuo's army, the people in the area of Sili suddenly met Liangzhou soldiers who did not burn, kill, loot and rob. They were moved.

Many people even take the initiative to reward Liangzhou soldiers, which can be described as "eating pot of wine to welcome the king".
