Dong Zhuo was wearing hard armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and wearing a lion-shaped cape, commanding tens of thousands of elite soldiers to appear in the eyes of Liu Qi and others.

When he first arrived at the Wei River, he did not ask the soldiers of the three armies to establish a camp, but instead divided the troops into two, and a part of the Liangzhou army headed to the east of the Wei River to establish a camp, which was only separated from Liu Qi's formation in Chencang.

The location of Dong Zhuo's village blocked Chen Cang's way to Dasan Pass to prevent Liu Qi's troops from withdrawing back to Hanzhong County.

This time, Dong Zhuo made up his mind to die at Liu Qi.

And why didn’t Liu Qi set up camp east of the Wei River?

One reason is that the area of ​​Chen Cangzhu County, which he needed to rely on, is located west of the Weishui River, and Liupan Mountain can be used as a support to reorganize the army and set up the formation to seize the advantageous terrain.

In the east, except for being close to Dasan Pass, there is no danger to guard. The 800-mile Qinling Mountains are dangerous... But the danger is beyond the reach of manpower. If you can't climb a hundred feet of cliffs, you can't climb up. How can it be considered dangerous? At most, it's just a desperate situation.

Liu Qi also has cavalry under his command, but his cavalry is only more than 3,000, and there is no way to compete with Dong Zhuo's cavalry group, which often costs nearly 10,000 yuan.

He can only rely on the terrain to fight against the other party.

Secondly, Liu Qi also made up his mind to go all out.

Because he established a camp in Dasan Pass and gave his soldiers a lucky mentality, he would rather take the initiative to break the way back where he could escape, give up that thought, and compete with Dong Zhuo to the end.

Besides, if he was really defeated by Dong Zhuo, he might have been caught by the Western Liang army before he fled to Dasan Pass.

While building camps in the East An of the Wei River, Dong Zhuo personally urged 30,000 elite soldiers to cross the Wei River in a place where the water was not over. He came to Liu Qi's side to set up a formation in the east, and took the most elite cavalry of the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army as pioneers, preparing to give Liu Qi a powerful bombardment first.

Before establishing the camp, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to lead the Bingzhou army to attack.

Although Liu Qi's troops rely on the dangerous Chencang, Chencang's dangerous does not refer to how high the city it is. On the contrary, there are almost no high walls around Chencang, and some places even need Liu Qi's army to establish a large village to help it consolidate.

After all, Chen Cang's real danger is just surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Although the side that is not surrounded by mountains is high in the west and low in the east, which is conducive to Liu Qi's defense, the two armies ultimately need to face the front and front!

Liu Qi's troops were defending the west and were preparing to fight the opponent with the terrain. Ma Chao volunteered to lead his troops to fight against the Western Liang army head-on.

The main force under Dong Zhuo was the Xiliang army, but the main force of Ma Chao and Yan Xing was also the Xiliang army.

Dong Zhuo has war horses, Ma Chao and Yan Xing also have war horses.

Ma Chao is still young now, less than seventeen years old, and is not the warlord hero who can control the Northwest people in a decisive battle with Cao Cao decades later.

Now he is just a newborn calf.

Interestingly, Dong Zhuo's first tentative confrontation with the Jingzhou Army was the leader of the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu.

In later generations, there was an unpopular saying for those who liked to watch the fights against military generals in the Romance of the Romance: Lu Bu in the first half of the Three Kingdoms, and Ma Chao in the second half.

Although this statement is not accepted by most people, there is indeed such a statement.

In Liu Qi's opinion, Lu Bu and Ma Chao do have many similarities. One is heroic. Both of them have extraordinary appearances, similar to the image of a tough guy.

The second is that both of them have strong border colors. One is from Bingzhou, the other is from Liangzhou, the other is from Xiongnu, and the other is from Qiang people all year round.

Third, both of them are known for their bravery. One is above the heroes, Dugu Qiubai is unstoppable, and the other swept across the Xizhou, known as the General of Shenwei Tian.

The last point is that neither of them has any concept of right or wrong, and their personalities are rather cold. One kills the master like cutting melons and vegetables, and the other directly gives up as a hostage in Beijing. Regardless of his life and death, he will rise up and fight against Cao Cao.

However, at this time, neither of these two people had met before and did not know what they would face in the future.

Lu Bucai didn't care who the person opposite was, he was the kind of person who was extremely confident.

Lu Bu’s life creed is that you should not tell me how many enemies there are, nor do you tell me who they are. You just need to tell me where they are.

Facing Ma Chao and Yan Xing's troops, Lu Bu decisively launched an attack.

He adopted a strategy of positive breakthrough!

He led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and used the most standard cavalry cone formation to nail into the cavalry formation of Ma Chao and Yan Xing.

The cone formation is the main formation for cavalry's strong attack. The ancients once said that the cone formation is like a sharp sword. The vanguard cannot break into the front without sharpness, and the left and right wings cannot be sharp. The main force is not strong enough to be arranged into such a formation, but as long as such a formation is arranged, it can be "decisive"!

The battlefield array is actually not simple, and it has high requirements for the quality of the main general and the soldiers. However, once it is arranged, the conical array can easily break through and split the enemy.

Undoubtedly, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, people who were good at using conical formations were basically those who were good at using cavalry, and the ceiling figure among them was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu waved his spear and rushed to the front of the cone formation, but it was not the one that was ahead. There were still personal guards around him protecting him. After all, the life of the commander was not a trivial matter for the three armies.

But even so, Lu Bu, who was at the forefront, could still drive the Bingzhou Army's fighting spirit!

Countless Qiang people or Xizhou soldiers waved their weapons to stop him, but they were easily killed by him.

When Lu Bu was fighting, his spear was like the sickle of the god of death, and could harvest the lives of others without any obstacles. No one could stop him, and few could even delay him.

Once the cavalry formation was opened, the limbs of the spear and the horses were easily shattered and broken before him.

On the plain, he is like a god of war. No one can stop him.

When the Red Rabbit Horse rushed over, the enemy soldiers would melt and separate in an instant like cream encountering a hot knife.

However, on the battlefield at this time, there was no wonderful scene of Ma Chao, Yan Xing fighting Lu Bu as imagined by Liu Qi.

Ma Mengqi, who was once powerful more than 20 years later, was only a 16 or 17 years old at this time. His combat experience still could not support him to be at the same level as Lu Bu in such a passive situation.

Just because of his prestige in the army, he is not as good as Lu Bu at the moment.

Lu Bu was like a lightning light, leading his troops to clash back and forth several times, and the military formation in Xizhou was broken through by him.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing had to retreat with the defeated generals.

In this round, Lu Bu won the game!

He continued to command the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to move forward quickly. He wanted to do his best to take the head of the head of the opponent's cavalry army.

He ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to support him in another direction and differentiate the cone array into two strands.

Although Ma Chao and Yan Xing's current experience is still insignificant and have some short legs in command and formation, they can still do it now.

However, Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to support him in another direction, which was a bit difficult for Ma and Yan.

At this critical moment, a strong army rushed out of the slant and blocked Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's way.

The military lieutenant led by Ma Teng was also a young general under Ma Teng. Pang De, who was promoted very quickly under Ma Teng by attacking the Western Qiang tribes.

Pang De led his troops and, with his own strength, blocked the attack of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, making the Bingzhou Army's split-cone tactics unable to work for the time being, and won the opportunity for Ma Chao and Yan Xing's retreat.

On Chen Cang's earth wall, the retreat of the Ma Yan coalition and Lu Bu's bravery were all seen by Liu Qi.

But he was not in a hurry.

He used cavalry to confront the opponent head-on, and he didn't think he would win at the beginning.

The key is to set up the formation on the mountain and down the mountain.

However, Pang De's performance was beyond his expectations.

"Although that Pang De is young, he is a general. He can block the Bingzhou Army's partial division with a small number of soldiers. Both courage and ability are worthy of recognition. And depending on his age, he seems to be about the same age as me."

Fa Zheng heard this and said strangely: "Although Ma Chao and Yan Xing are not as good as Lu Bu, I don't think they need ordinary people to see their abilities. In time, these two people will become great things in the future."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "No matter how great they are, they are also other people's nephews, and they have nothing to do with me. However, it would be a pity that Pang De is so young that he has joined the rebel camp... I wonder if there is any way to get him to join me?"

After hearing Liu Qi's words, Fa Zheng turned his head to look at Liu Qi, and found that in his eyes, he looked at the direction where Pang De was in the east battlefield, as if he was emitting a faint light.

It seems that the Fujun is quite fond of Pang De from Liangzhou.

Fa Zheng quietly looked at the battlefield in the distance, pondered for a while, and said, "The talents in the world are actually divided into three types. If you want to take them into the trap, you need to use different methods!"

What Liu Qi likes the most is that every time he asks him a question, no matter whether he can solve it or not, he will give you a few ways to choose and let Liu Qi identify it himself.

To do this, one must have enough emotions and quick thinking, and at the same time, one must be familiar with the humanities and affairs of the world. If one lacks it, it is impossible to do anything.

"Let me tell you, what are the three types?"

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "The first type is family and powerful families. They mostly act on the interests of the family and their own interests. Generally, if you want to subdue such people, the first thing is to accept their families, which has nothing to do with friendship."

“What about the second type?”

"The talented people of the gentry are arrogant, and have a high vision. They value future. They must rely on the personal ability of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the lord of the

"You are not very modest." Liu Qi smiled.

"As for the third category, it can be summarized as border martial artists or chivalrous heroes. If this type of person is in peace, he will probably never make a fortune in his life. However, in this chaotic world, the world's chaotic wars can help them. However, they have no family support behind them and are not scholars. More than half of the county magistrates in the world are from official families. If they want to be reused, it will be even more difficult."

Liu Qi turned to Fa Zheng and raised his eyebrows: "What does Xiaozhi mean is Pang De belong to the third type of person?"

"No, otherwise he wouldn't have been involved in the rebels."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "You just said what kind of person he is, but you didn't say what method should I use to recruit him?"

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "There is no shortage of such people under the command of the Fujun... As the guard of the Fujun, Dian Jun has the courage to be inappropriate for thousands of people. He is now famous in all counties. But if the Fujun does not value it and treat each other with friendship, Dian Jun will not have the achievements of today."

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "You are a little right, but not all."

Fa Zheng was surprised when he heard this, "Where is the last official who said something wrong? Please give me advice?"

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "This morning, Bo Chang had already informed me of the investigation about Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Pang De. In fact, Pang De is not the third type of person you mentioned. He is also a native of the local clan. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he served as a post in the state, but later he was born in the clan, so he could only follow the thief."

"He has also served as a position in Liangzhou?" Fa Zheng said in surprise when he heard this: "The position in which he is not a native of the local clan and cannot be served..."

"Yes, according to investigation, but it is an exception in Liangzhou. He told the story that although the Pang family was not a Qiang tribe for generations, the Qiang tribe frequently rebelled because of the fact that Liangzhou had many things, and the Qiang tribe repeatedly bullied and killed good people in various counties. The soldiers of the county and state were still too busy to take care of themselves. How could he manage the ordinary people of each county?"

Fa Zheng said: "I know this, so many families in the county town have independent people as rebels, defending the county town to resist the rebellion of the Qiang."

This is very polite, and the rebels are talking about, but in fact they are just using a kind of oil to form their own armed forces.

There are many situations in the Central Plains, but most of the people who can do these things are powerful people with fields and private scholars.

For example, the Pang family has no foundation but can start a military cause. Most of them are still in border counties like You and Liang.

"The Pang family started a military service and became a local force. Later, Pang De himself was recruited by the governor for his good combat. For him, this was a great opportunity. How could he easily obey the Ma Teng rebels?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Pang De is not the only one in the Pang family. It is said that the reason why Pang De joined Ma Teng was because his brother Pang Rou followed him. Pang De had no choice but to be forced to follow him... Haha, his brother is really not enough to be defeated. If I were Pang De, I would hate this brother to death."

Fa Zheng laughed silently and said, "I'm afraid only Liangzhou people can do this."

At this moment, Xu Dan beside Liu Qi suddenly shouted: "Mr. Lu Bu's troops have already attacked our army's positions!"
