Chapter 100: Plan for today
"The emperor ordered the emperor to follow the will of heaven and said:
I heard that I praised the virtues and rewarded the talents. I defeated the general Guan Yanxuan and the devil, and kept the integrity and friendship to safeguard the country. I praised him very much.?
Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was lazy and unemployed, did not think about respecting the etiquette, and was defeated by the thief, and fell into the power of the Han Dynasty. He specially dismissed the position of governor and handed over to Guan Yan, the Marquis of Ningting, to calm the morale of the army. I admire this!"
"Long live my emperor!" Guan Yan took the imperial edict from a small yellow gate and said with a smile: "Please trouble my father-in-law!"
After saying that, Guan Yan waved his right hand, Chen Deng, who was beside him, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and put it into the hand of the small yellow gate.
When the little yellow gate saw the golden ingot, he immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you, Marquis Ning Ting!"
Guan Yan smiled and asked in a low voice: "Little father-in-law, is there any news in the court?"
After collecting the gold ingots, the little yellow gate should have said everything. He turned his eyes and replied in a low voice: "It seems that there are imperial edicts in the court to Hedong Prefect Dong Zhuo."
"Dong Zhuo?" Guan Yan frowned and thought in confusion...
At this time, Dong Zhuo was leading 10,000 troops from Hedong, leaving Wanrong, entering Hejin in Pingyang County, and heading northwest toward Didao.
Dong Zhuo smiled and chatted with a scholar beside him: "Wenzheng, this time he can lead the army to the war, I am fully abiding by everyone's achievements!"
The scribe blinked his slightly gloomy eyes twice and said softly: "The father-in-law can only hide the achievements of the Cai Master in his heart, and it is said that he is the master of the general. For the outside world, his father-in-law can only be called the master of the general, otherwise he may have a rift, which will be a bad idea!"
He Jin wanted to recruit Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo also understood in his heart that the little yellow sect who came to pass the imperial edict two days ago said that He Jin had said so many good things in front of the emperor in order to prepare for this job for Dong Zhuo.
But Dong Zhuo also has his own eyeliner in Luoyang, so he still knows how this job happened.
Dong Zhuo is a man who is young and has a heroic spirit since childhood. Although he is rude and arrogant, he has a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges, so he is considered a hero. Therefore, Dong Zhuo was grateful to the little yellow gate to convey his gratitude and loyalty to the general, but Dong Zhuo kept thinking about Cai Yong's goodness in his heart.
After Li Ru reminded Dong Zhuo again, Dong Zhuo looked at the son-in-law with appreciation and was very happy. The young scholar was named Li Ru. The bold Dong Zhuo did not like this son-in-law who made people feel cold, but Li Ru was resourceful and made Dong Zhuo applaud Dong Zhuo's outstanding attention every time. Gradually, Dong Zhuo began to appreciate Li Ru and his tolerance for Li Ru became deeper and deeper.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he smiled and nodded: "Wen Zheng, please don't worry, everyone's kindness will be rewarded when I am successful in the future!"
After saying that, Dong Zhuopao immediately stepped forward and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "The whole army must advance, within three days, it must reach fifty miles outside Didao City!"
"Go~~" For a moment, whips rang everywhere, and ten thousand people rushed towards Didao.
Thirty miles east of Didao City, Guan Yan's camp.
Chen Deng and Xi Zhicai sat on the left side of the tent, while Zang Ba, Ji Ling and Zhou Cang sat on the right side of the tent.
In the handsome position, Guan Yan sat upright, staring at the cowhide map beside him in a daze.
Guan Yan stood up, put his hands behind him and walked to the next to the cowhide map. He stretched out his right hand and pressed the wooden frame and said softly: "According to the Ma Lai, the Qiang and Hu in the north have gathered 40,000 troops and will go south soon. Qiang and Hu will send troops to reach Didao within three days. With Han Sui's wisdom, he will definitely send all the soldiers of Didao and attack our army on both sides. If this is the case, our army will be in danger!"
Guan Yan turned his head and frowned and looked at everyone under the tent: "Can all the generals have good plans?"
"What are you afraid of!" Zhou Cang stood up and said in a voice: "Today, Cang led his troops to capture Didao and captured Han Sui. I see if he had any other tricks!"
For some reason, every time I heard Zhou Cang speak, Guan Yan had the urge to go up and kick him.
Guan Yan was about to speak and scold him, but Chen Deng stood up and said, "Deng thought that General Zhou said very well!"
"Ah!?" Guan Yan thought unluckyly. Chen Deng actually agreed with Zhou Cang's plan and asked hurriedly: "Yuanlong tells the reason!"
Chen Deng walked to Guan Yan, pointed to the cowhide map and said, "The lord said just now that if Qiang and Hu send troops, they can attack our army within three days. There are two strategies to deal with it.
One of the strategies is to "avoid", our army can retreat to Jincheng. After the reinforcements of the court arrive, they will fight steadily and conquer Didao. But I heard that the reinforcements are the chief general of Hedong Prefect Dong Zhuo. There seems to be a rift between Dong Zhuo and his lord, so they plan to attack together, which may not be easy!
The second strategy is to "destroy". Those who are concerned about attacking are not allowed to care about it! If our army breaks one side first, this trap can be solved. Now it seems that our army has been running hundreds of miles to the north and breaks the Qiang and Hu, which may be difficult to do! For the current plan, we can only break Didao first, and Qiang and Hu retreat without fighting!"
"That's the attack?" Guan Yan raised his eyes and asked at Chen Deng.
"Yes, it's also an attack, a strong attack! If we don't break Didao within three days, our army will be in danger!" Chen Deng pointed the cowhide map with his right hand and said earnestly.
Guan Yan nodded thoughtfully, walked back to the main seat and sat down, thinking a lot in his mind:
Is it not to fight? If you attack Didao quickly, it would be fine if you can't capture it. If you can't capture it, you will face the dangerous situation of attacking both sides. There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Didao City, 30,000 elite cavalry in Qianghu, and only the 30,000 feathered army brought by Luoyang and more than 10,000 remaining troops under Geng Bi, and the number of people is only half of the enemy. I am afraid that I will die without a complete body!
If he does not fight and retreats to Jincheng to defend, judging from his relationship with Dong Zhuo, it is impossible to work together. At that time, Han Sui and Qiang and Hu soldiers will be in harmony, and it will be even more difficult to conquer! It will delay the best time to fight against the thief, and the emperor will be in trouble at that time, and he will not be able to bear to blame him.
Alas! What should I do?
Just when Guan Yan was bored, a voice sounded:
"Since the lord is difficult to weigh, Zhicai has a plan to help him!" Xi Zhicai noticed Guan Yan's hesitation, stood up and clasped his fists and said.
When Guan Yan heard this, he asked anxiously: "What is the military advisor's trick? Teach me!"
Xi Zhicai sorted out his thoughts and said, "Yuan Long's words are very good, and Zhicai also thought that the only way to break Didao is to do the best way to do this!"
Xi Zhicai waved his sleeves and pointed at the north and continued, "The only thing that the lord has to worry about is the 30,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers in the north. Someone has a plan to drag the Qiang and Hu soldiers for a while!"
Before Guan Yan could ask, Chen Deng couldn't help asking, "What's the point?"
Xi Zhicai smiled: "Dong Zhuo is so happy to be successful, and his flaws will be repaid! When you come to Liangzhou, you must strive for merit everywhere to repay the humiliation suffered by the general's mansion!"
"What should I do? Military advisor, you said!" Zhou Cang, impatient, stared at his eyes and shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
