[Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying...what kind of person is he?]

At night, Zhang Meng, the third son of Zhang Huan, one of the "Three Mings of Liangzhou", tossed and turned and couldn't sleep with his doubts about Dong Zhuo. ◇↓

It is said that Dong Zhuo respects his Zhang Meng's father, Zhang Huan, who always calls Zhang Huan's name; but if you want to say that Dong Zhuo has any resentment towards Zhang Huan, Zhang Meng can actually feel that Dong Zhuo treats him obviously closer to him than to the captain of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.

Zhang Meng probably wouldn't have thought that when his father, Zhang Huan, who was one of the famous "Three Mings of Liangzhou", had almost watched Dong Zhuo grow up when he was the "Guang Qiang-Guoying Captain" in Longxi, he watched the latter gradually grow from a ignorant little guy to an ambitious hero.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Huan found that he was so mean and could not convince Dong Zhuo to give up his ambition, he finally became angry and helplessly chose to be cleansed invisible and completely draw a clear line for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo is indeed a very ambitious man. Although this is not well known to everyone, many people in the court also know it.

Perhaps some people may wonder, since Dong Zhuo is such an ambitious person, why does General He Jin still use it instead of trying to get rid of him?

The reason is very simple, because Dong Zhuo is not a chess piece that can be removed casually. He was born in Longxi and had already managed Longxi as a private territory. Even the Qiang people abroad would probably have a good relationship with him. If the court releases any unfavorable news to Dong Zhuo, it means that the court must make the worst plan for the entire Longxi to go against each other.

Perhaps some people think that Longxi is just a county in Liangzhou, so would Dong Zhuo have the courage to rebel?

But in fact, the meaning of Longxi is not as simple as a mere county.

First of all, it is Jincheng County to the north, and Wuwei County to the north. As we all know, Jincheng County and Wuwei County are the most difficult territory to control in the Han Dynasty today. The Liangzhou rebellion, which was triggered by Beigong Boyu, and later caused a big rebellion due to Han Sui, originated from these two counties. The reason why the court valued Dong Zhuo was because it hoped that Longxi under Dong Zhuo could play a role in curbing the two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei. On the other hand, if even Dong Zhuo rebelled, then when Dong Zhuo's Longxi and Beigong Boyu, Han Sui's Jincheng County and Wuwei County were on the united front, the court might face the worst situation of losing control in the entire Liangzhou.

Secondly, the strategic significance of the two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei is similar. Longxi is also a border county of the Great Han Kingdom, where wars with the Qiang people abroad will occur all year round. If Dong Zhuo can make the Qiang people outside Longxi surrender, it means that if Dong Zhuo also holds up the anti-bank, the Qiang people abroad will inevitably rush in. At that time, the Han court will definitely face not only the troops of Dong Zhuo in the Longxi territory, but also the troops of many Qiang tribes outside the territory.

Again, that is, Dong Zhuo's personal strength is strong enough. He is not killed casually. This makes the court dare not take risks easily. Unless he is 100% sure, even the court will not dare to rashly eradicate Dong Zhuo.

Based on these points, the court's attitude towards Dong Zhuo can be said to be quite easy-going. Of course, easy-going does not mean indulgence. You should know that the Northern Army stationed in Chang'an is not only used to prevent Jincheng and Wuwei counties, but also to shock Longxi. It is precisely because of this that Liu Jiang, the captain of the Northern Army Infantry Battalion, has such a bad view of Dong Zhuo, because he is very clear about what kind of person Dong Zhuo is.

A few days ago, Beigong Boyu, who was gradually exposed to his disobedience, indeed showed signs of rebellion. In view of his concern for Dong Zhuo, the court transferred Dong Zhuo to Hedong as the prefect of Hedong in the name of General He Jin. At that time, the court had thought that this move might force Dong Zhuo to rebel, and forced him to the rebellious team of Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, but the court still issued an order to transfer Dong Zhuo to Hedong because the court was ready to fight against the water, such as Zhang Wen, Yang Ci, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and other loyal ministers who were absolutely unable to tolerate the gradual destruction of Xiliang.

But some unexpected people, Dong Zhuo readily agreed to transfer to Hedong, and even expressed his support to the court that the court was willing to join the army to fight against Xiliang. This situation of turning around made the court who was willing to fight against the river and was surprised.

[Maybe Dong Zhuo hasn't been extremely bad yet, is he still quite loyal to the great man?]

Dong Zhuo's extremely readily move to Hedong to take office also made all the officials in the court a little confused. At this moment, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, so the court's plan to send troops to suppress Beigong Boyu and Han Sui in Xiliang was ruined. After discussion, the officials in the court decided to temporarily call Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Hedong and continue to monitor. At the same time, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Ye were sent to suppress the Yellow Turban. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, we decided whether to send troops again in a short time to conquer Beigong Boyu and Han Sui in Liangzhou.

The officials in the court never expected that the reason why Dong Zhuo took office as the prefect of Hedong was not because of his loyalty to the court, but because he had Li Ru, a strategist who judged the situation.

I remember that Dong Zhuo was very angry at first. After all, he finally built Longxi into a private territory that belonged only to him, but he did not want the imperial court to appoint him to transfer him to another place. It is conceivable that Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied.

But at this time, Li Ru convinced Dong Zhuo because Li Ru believed that Dong Zhuo's military strength at that time was not enough to resist the military forces of the court. As for the rebellious cooperation with Jincheng and Wuwei counties, it was even more of a solution. Once you set foot in it, it would be difficult to turn back and could only become a rebellion. Therefore, Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo agree to transfer to see what the current situation is. After all, in this way, the court cannot frame him for no reason, and everything must be legitimate, right?

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened to break out, which made Dong Zhuo not lose control of Longxi, but instead gained the position of Hedong prefect. Although Hedong is not a place where private relationships can be easily settled, it is not worth it for free, right?

What no one expected was that Lu Zhi served as the commander of the Northern Army, but he could not conquer the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou for a time. Therefore, the court, with the intention of not being useless, ordered Hedong prefect Dong Zhuo to replace Lu Zhi as the commander of the Northern Army and be responsible for suppressing the thieves. After all, in the court's view, Dong Zhuo, who has been in Longxi for many years, could not have any connection with the Yellow Turban Rebellion Party. Therefore, there is no need to worry about Dong Zhuo's unfair intentions.

However, there are so many unexpected things in the world. Who would have thought that Dong Zhuo, who has been in Longxi for many years, met a little guy named Zhang Huang in Luoyang. And this little guy became the head coach of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou half a year later?

【This is an excellent opportunity for each other!】

To be fair, Li Ru agreed to the latter's proposal because of their friendship with Zhang Huang.

As Dong Zhuo's childhood friend, he naturally considered Dong Zhuo everything at the first time. However, after careful consideration, he finally decided to secretly unite Zhang Huang to eliminate the Northern Army. The reason is that the Northern Army has had too obvious deterrence against Longxi over the years. If this army can be eliminated, even if it is just destroyed, Dong Zhuo will have more bargaining chips in the future when facing the imperial court.

In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Li Ru started his plan the next day and called the captain of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army to the General Office to discuss the matter of launching a full-scale attack on Guangzong.

"Siege?"

When Li Ru heard these two words, I have to say that the lieutenants of the Fifth Battalion were a little sad. Firstly, this move was contrary to the strategic policy of the former head coach Lu Zhi, and secondly, they were really puzzled why Dong Zhuo was so concerned about this matter. They thought that after Dong Zhuo arrived in the Northern Army, he would not think about how to suppress the thieves except to show off his power. After all, this person's ambition was well known in the court. Even if he wiped out the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, the court would not give too generous rewards. They knew that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru should also know this.

Just when the Fifth Battalion Captain stared at Dong Zhuo in surprise, he saw Dong Zhuo snorting and scolded unhappily, "Lu Zigan delayed the fighter plane and fought passively, and was then questioned by the emperor. Do you want Dong to follow Lu Zigan's footsteps?"

The lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion suddenly realized. Although they were very angry with Dong Zhuo saying that Lu Zhi delayed the fight and responded passively, they had to admit that what Dong Zhuo said was not wrong.

"Let me listen carefully!" Dong Zhuo glared at the captains present and said coldly, "Dong replaces Lu Zigan today, and may be replaced by others in the future. But before that, if anyone dares to drag me down, I will definitely kill him before leaving office!... Have you heard it?!"

"...No!" The lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion responded humiliatingly with his head down. Although they were very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's tone, since Dong Zhuo decided to attack Guangzong, they would not raise objections. After all, the steady strategy of the former head coach Lu Zhi, to be honest, also made these Northern Army soldiers feel aggrieved, but because of Lu Zhi's face, they were suffering.

"I wonder if there is any good strategy for Dong Shuai to attack Guangzong?" The captain of the Shooting Seven, Ma Riyi, asked with his hand.

Although Ma Rizhe also had a lot of disgust towards Dong Zhuo, after Dong Zhuo said that he would join forces to fight against Guangzong Yellow Turbans, he could still control himself well and not ruin business because of his personal feelings.

But unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo snorted after hearing this, sneered and said, "Why, does the Northern Army have any troubles? Even a mere bandit can't deal with it?"

When the lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion was heard, he felt angry. They wanted to tell Dong Zhuo that the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou opposite were definitely not a bandit, but seeing Dong Zhuo's contemptuous chuckling, the lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion only felt humiliated in his heart.

"What a mere gangster?!" Liu Jiang, the captain of the infantry battalion, said angrily.

"That's fine!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "In three days, I will defeat Guangzong for me!... If I can't capture it, I will be scolded by the emperor for this. I will definitely not spare you before this!"

"..." The lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion remained silent. Although they were extremely dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's tone, they clearly felt Dong Zhuo's belief that he would inevitably conquer Guangzong.

This is enough!

After a startling threat, Dong Zhuo asked the soldiers of the Northern Army to go out after they had enough food and rest, and then went to attack Guangzong County.

It was similar when the Northern Army attacked Pingxiang County, and more than 20,000 Northern Army arranged an array under Guangzong City again.

Logically speaking, the best way to attack the city is to surround three and one, attack three walls at the same time and deliberately release one side. But unfortunately, among the more than 20,000 Northern Army, only more than 4,000 infantry battalions were infantry, which was not enough to attack three walls at the same time. After all, there were 150,000 troops in Guangzong City at this time. If the infantry captain Liu Jiang dared to divide the troops, even the Northern Army infantry battalions would be swallowed alive by the Yellow Turban Army.

"attack!"

There was no so-called pre-war deterrence, and Dong Zhuo ordered the siege without saying a word. The lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion, who was surprised in his heart, was absolutely unexpected. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had already finished saying to Zhang Huang what they should say.

"Wuwu-!Wuwu-!Wuwu-!"

Three horns sounded, and the infantrymen of the Northern Army infantry battalion carried the ladders of climbing the city wall and took the lead in attacking Guangzongcheng. At the same time, the sound captain Ma Riyi also commanded the sound masters under his command and nearly 30 well railing vehicles to gradually advance Guangzongcheng.

Don’t think that Lu Zhi did nothing when he besieged Guangzong. You should know that during that period, the Northern Army had made all preparations to attack Guangzong City, whether it was a rushing car or a well railing car, they were basically ready.

It is precisely because of this that the Captain Ma Riyi sighed secretly: "It's a pity that Lu Zhonglang is a married man..."

That's right? Lu Zhi was clearly ready, and he was waiting for the food in Guangzong City to be exhausted and ordered to attack the city. However, he did not expect that the little Huangmen Zuo Feng's slander in front of Emperor Liu Hong made Lu Zhi leave all his long-term hardship to Dong Zhuo for free. Ma Riyi believed that if he really conquered Guangzong this time, the emperor would only remember Dong Zhuo's contributions and would never think that all this was because Lu Zhi had prepared in advance.

The news of the Northern Army's aggressive attack had long been passed on from the mouth of the Yellow Turban soldiers on Guangzong City to Zhang Huang, Guo Tai and others.

[Uncle is really trustworthy...]

Seeing that the 20,000 soldiers of the Northern Army really abandoned the previous difficult siege tactics and chose to forcibly siege the city, Zhang Huang smiled secretly in his heart.

You should know that the city walls of Guangzong County were also made of Buzhou stones, and even Zhang Huang stood on the city walls with great strength, let alone those Northern Army soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that in this offensive and defensive battle, the Northern Army soldiers were no different from the Yellow Turban soldiers, and they could not use rigid bodies at all. Even if they could not use rigid bodies, no matter how powerful they were, they would be able to compete with the human-sea tactics of 150,000 Yellow Turban soldiers?

[The only thing worth worrying about is...]

Zhang Huang's eyes were on the sound camp that was slowly moving forward after the infantry battalion under the city. Those extremely accurate archers might be the most difficult opponents of the Yellow Turban side in this siege battle.

However, Li Ru had already taught a clever trick to this.

"Shield Hand!"

After receiving Zhang Huang's eyes, Guo Tai issued a general order.

For a time, countless yellow turban soldiers holding huge wooden boards rushed up to the top of the city, and put one large wooden board after another in the wall position, or raised it flat above to prevent the shooting of the archer of the sound of the sound of the camp.

Although "Yayan" can even shoot through rigid bodies, in the final analysis, "Yayan" is just a skill of flat shooting, and the power of the shooting is not that strong. Not to mention that in order to be cautious, Zhang Huang specially ordered Guo Tai to thicken the wooden boards to about one inch. This makes although the wooden boards are extremely heavy, once they are mounted, they can completely prevent the shooting of the archer of the sound shooting sound camp.

As for the sound camp's well railing car, Zhang Huang didn't care about it for the time being. After all, the other party was the Northern Army. Before discussing this siege with Dong Zhuo, he was ready for a tragic victory.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Huang intends to ignore the car on the opposite side and allow the sound shooters above to use their extraordinary archery skills to shoot the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army from the only exposure point of the wall.

"This sun is so fierce..."

After glanced at the sun that had already been hanging high in the sky and gradually released heat, Yang Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He didn't notice it, and Zhang Huang glanced at him slightly, with a hint of amusement on his face.

"The other party is hotter than us..."

Guo Tai said meaningfully. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
