Chapter 1359 Dong Xi's Growth
Sun Ce went south without the official road.
Along the way, corpses could be seen everywhere in the ditches on the side of the road, countless horses' hooves stepped by, the soil on the official road was loose, blood was vaguely visible, and blood could be seen from time to time in the ditches on the side of the road. In the distance where you can see some figures, they should be the terrified Huns' defeated soldiers.
Sun Ce roughly estimated that the Huns' losses may be nearly half. Even if some defeated soldiers can return to the camp, the casualties will exceed 30%. If Yan Xing and Ma Chao chased them tightly, this number may have more damage caused by the head-end pursuit than the direct damage during the rushing formation, which will leave enough psychological shadows for the Huns.
This is the Central Plains, not the grassland, and the differences in terrain will have an unignorable impact on the cavalry's tactics. He has no cavalry, so he can only do his work in detail, exert his subjective initiative as much as possible, and make up for the innate disadvantages brought about by the lack of war horses. How much effort has been put into the army, the righteous cavalry, and the personal guards put into victory at this moment? It is not something that Gongsun Xu can understand.
Gongsun Zan is hostile to scholars, and he will eventually pay the price of his life for it.
An hour later, Sun Ce caught up with Dong Xi. Dong Xi did not leave very quickly. He stopped from time to time to kill the injured Huns, especially those who were slightly injured. He had no time to collect prisoners of war, or even to cut the heads, just give them a knife to make sure they could never stand up.
It was late, and Dong Xi was still rushing to go, even eating dinner while walking, eating two sips of dry food, and drinking two sips of light wine. Even if he had a meal, he had won a big victory just now and was chasing him again. The morale was high, and no soldier complained and rushed forward in a hurry.
Sun Ce was very dissatisfied. "In the Yuan Dynasty, using troops was like using boxing, and you had to keep three points of strength. If you were so rushing, you would still marching at night. If you encounter Kuo Yi, are you sure to escape without any hesitation?"
"Qu Yi?" Dong Ximan didn't care. "Yan Yanming, Ma Mengqi is still in front. If they meet Que Yi, they will naturally notify me."
"That's how you feel?"
Seeing that Sun Ce's tone was wrong, Dong Xi did not dare to be reckless again, he bowed and begged: "General, look at me from Yingyin to Linying and built the city. As a result, Xun Yan retreated without fighting and was busy. Today, he rushed from Linying to Fenqiu. He took such a lot of effort to shoot more than a dozen cavalry, and then he watched the general kill all directions. Even if I don't care, the soldiers are not willing to let go. If you don't catch up with the killing, wouldn't it be deteriorating?
Seeing Dong Xi, who was big and strong, begging softly in front of him, Sun Ce couldn't hold back his face, but he still couldn't accept Dong Xi's request. He should fight bravely, but he would lose his due vigilance in order to compete for merit and would sooner or later suffer a heavy blow.
"Qu Yi is a famous general in Hebei, and his troops are far better than me. Even if he is well prepared, he may not be able to win, let alone advance rashly. Stop moving forward and form a formation immediately. Yingchuan is so big that Quu Yi can't run away. Even if he runs away, there is another chance. We have a chance."
Dong Xi had no choice but to order the entire army to stop advancing, connect the chariots to form a carriage array, and send scouts, secret whistles, and deploy cordons. After everything, it was already dark. Because there was no time to pack up the firewood, the soldiers could not make fire and boil water. After a day of hard work, they couldn't even eat the hot food, so they could only eat dry food with cold wine. Although there was a torch light that was carried with them, it was not dark, and the atmosphere was still a little depressing.
Seeing this scene, Dong Xicai felt a little regretful. His morale was not as high as he thought, but the military orders were severe and no one dared to disobey.
Looking at Dong Xi's regretful expression, Sun Ce didn't say anything more. Dong Xi was brave, but he was not meticulous enough and was not an excellent manager, so he was just a general throughout his life and had no ability to stand alone. This cannot be blamed for being a powerful man, never read any books, and not knowing how to point oneself to others. He only has military achievements and loyalty to the monarch, and regardless of the life and death of the soldiers, such a person cannot be supported by his subordinates.
In fact, compared with him in history, Dong Xi has made progress, at least in Linying and Chunyu Chong cooperated very well.
Dong Xi knew that he had made a mistake, fearing that Sun Ce would doubt his ability, so he would no longer use it in the future. He tried his best to make up for it, actively inspected the positions, chatted with the soldiers, and encouraged their morale. After asking Sun Ce for instructions, he announced his military merit reward at noon at the ferry. A archer won three yuan in a row, and was promoted to one level, riding a horse around the formation, boasting about his martial arts.
With Dong Xi's efforts, morale finally regained its vitality. The soldiers cheered and congratulated the advanced shooter, looking forward to making new contributions in the next battle. Dong Xi stopped when he saw it was good and ordered to hurry up and rest and prepare for another fight tomorrow.
After finishing all this, Dong Xi returned to Sun Ce and said with a smile: "General, do you think... is it okay?"
Sun Ce said: "Why, I have to praise you a few words?"
Dong Xi sat up and said earnestly. "This is not. General, to be honest, in the past, my subordinates were all my troops, and they were beaten and scolded, and they were used to it. Now, I am leading troops unconsciously and use the same tricks as before. Without thinking carefully, it seems that there is no difference, but when the general reminds me, I can also know some differences, but I just don't know what to do. The general comes from the general's sect, and has a chariot and cavalry to guide the way. He has a high understanding, and it is not comparable to those of us rough people. I want to go to the martial arts lecture hall to study, but I can't help but ask the general for advice. If I can learn a few tricks from the general, I will not lose the face of the Jiangdong people in the future, right?"
Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh and scolded. "I didn't expect that you, Dong Yuanda, would be clever and sarcastic. I really misread you."
"How dare you, how dare you? I sincerely ask the general for advice."
Sun Ce thought about it and felt that Dong Xi was saying something was reasonable. No matter what, the concept of region is inevitable. Even if he wanted to treat everyone equally, others might not believe it. Wu Hui is his foundation, and Wu Huiren is the one who is most willing to support him. It would be beneficial to him to give him a few more talents, especially the loyalty he cultivated himself is higher, and Dong Xi was originally a loyal and righteous person who is trustworthy.
The martial arts lecture hall only teaches the basic principles of leading troops and using troops. It is aimed at middle and lower-level generals. It is useless for generals like Dong Xi to study in the martial arts lecture hall, so he can only teach himself and Guo Jia. This was originally his established plan. Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai followed this training model. However, Dong Xi was older and was in power with his troops, so he was not included in the training scope.
In fact, they are the ones that need to be cultivated the most.
"In the Yuan Dynasty, when it comes to military use and getting along with colleagues, your recent progress is very obvious. Linying's affairs were handled very well, and even Guo Jijiu praised you. But if you want to become a general, you cannot just look up, but also look down." Sun Ce looked at the soldiers around him. "Have you heard of Wu Qi sucking cervix as a soldier?"
Dong Xi thought about something and looked slightly slight.
Sun Ce was about to say a few more words when suddenly a rapid footsteps came. He turned around and saw Guo Yuan and the two knights walking over with their horses and striding towards him. Sun Ce knew that there must be an important situation, so he stood up quickly. Guo Yuan walked to Sun Ce and swallowed.
"General, good news, Huang Hansheng trapped Huang Wan, right in Yutous Mountain."
