After everything was ready, Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others exchanged letters with Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and others in the direction of Sourzao, and on March 15, both sides sent troops at the same time.

Wen Chou did not summon Lu Liang and Han Meng back because of his troops, Yingchuan County was left with Kong Yichang's troops, with a lot of less troops. Lu Liang was left with Han Meng just in case. In short, it was to ensure a retreat. Secondly, the father city where Lu Liang stationed was located was in the southeast of Liang County, that is, the rear of Liang County, not very far from Liang County, and only one or two hundred miles away. If something happened, such as a big defeat, Lu Liang could at least get support.

In addition to Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and other people who were relying on Wen Chou, such as Guo Jia, who had already defected from Yangdi, Jiang Xian and some young people brought out from the Xun disciples by Wen Chou were also brought by Wen Chou.

On the same day, Yuan Shao from Hanoi also sent 8,000 troops and ordered Chunyu Qiong to lead him and mongjin.

Chunyu Qiong was one of the eighth school captains in Xiyuan at that time, ranking eighth and the right school captain in Xiyuan. When Yuan Shao fled to Luoyang, he also fled as a staunch Yuan Party and followed Yuan Shao to Jizhou. In addition to being the lieutenant of Xiyuan and having worked with Cao Cao, he was also from Yingchuan. Yuan Shao chose him to command the army and Cao Cao, and Wen Chou advanced together, which was very suitable, because Yingchuan was the backbone force in attacking Dong Zhuo this time.

On the day when Wen Chou and Sun Jian and others sent troops, the people of Yangdi County heard that the villagers and scholars all came out to watch. They saw the soldiers of the army showing off their weapons and showing off their power. They also learned that Kong Qiong did not move and did not dare to attack Dong, the villagers and scholars all admired Wen Chou and others.

However, no matter how much he admires, everyone knows that Dong Zhuo is strong in his military force. Not everyone is optimistic about Wen Chou's attack this time. Many people have the same thoughts as Kong Yichang and think that Wen Chou is seeking death. Kong Yichang did not see Wen Chou sending troops, but just sneered a few times after hearing the news.

No matter how the observer thinks or how Kong Yichang looks, he said that Wen Chou and others were abandoned from the county.

After discussion, Wen Chou's army was the vanguard, but this was because Wen Chou's army was famous in Jizhou. Sun Jian also gave in three points. Wen Chou was naturally happy with this vanguard, because the vanguard also means the greatest "reputation". Of course, this requires you to win and return, even if you cannot win, at least you cannot defeat miserably.

Therefore, the Wen Chou division ranked first, followed by Sun Jian division, and finally the three troops of the county and state soldiers who were "borrowed" from Kong Yuzhou.

Forty or fifty thousand infantry and cavalry, plus baggage, plus the marching intervals between each army, unit, and each circumference, the team stretched for dozens of miles.

After leaving Yangdi, Wen Chou and others headed west, but the march was not fast, and they only traveled ten miles a day. Two and a half days later, the Ru River in front was looking at it.

The Rushui River enters the southwest of Yingchuan County. When you arrive at the Rushui River, you will not go far away and it is the boundary of Yingchuan County. Once you leave the county, you only need to travel twenty or thirty miles to reach Liang County.

Liang County is too close to Yingchuan, not far from Luyang where Yuan Shu stationed his troops. There is no Dong Zhuo army stationed here, but dozens of miles northwest of Liang County, there is a Dong army stationed in - this Dong army is not the Dong army that plundered Yangcheng earlier. The Dong army stationed at Yangyuan Pass was very close to Yangcheng. Forty or fifty miles away, the cavalry arrived in Chaowu. Speaking of Huayuan Pass, it is actually good for Kong Yichang not to send troops to Wen Chou and others. At least his troops are in Yangdi, and Yangdi is not far from Huayuan Pass, more than 200 miles away. Then the Dong army of Huayuan Pass will not move lightly, and will not move southwest of Huayuan Pass and attack Wen Chou and Sun Jian's troops.

I just received the report and said that Rushui was ahead, and another army reported it: Thirty miles away from the front of the army, a Dong army was found, with about a thousand cavalry.

Wen Chou received the report and immediately sent his personal soldiers to the troops that were marching and summoned the generals.

Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and others came from the headquarters on horseback and gathered in the central army.

The troops on the road were marching. In order not to block the advance of the subsequent troops, Wen Chou stepped down the road under the guard of the tiger soldiers, and convened a brief military discussion on the field on the roadside and the generals who came to his order in response to the enemy situation he had just received.

He briefly explained the military situation briefly and said, "Accepting the military report, there was a Dong army thirty miles ahead, about a thousand cavalry. It is estimated that they came from the Dong army camp in the northwest of Liang." After talking about the military situation, he looked around the generals around him and said with a sigh, "Now I, General Sun and the captains, raised troops to attack Dong. Before leaving the county, the Dong army attacked first, and was arrogant. Those Liangzhou people were really selfless. I want to fight him to defeat him, discourage his anger, and promote the power of my Shandong army. Who would be the first to be the general?"

From the beginning of the year to now, it has been one or two months since there was no battle. It took a long time to spend in Yingchuan. Many of the generals under Wen Chou's command had been so frustrated that they had finally sent troops, and they were all very energetic. At this time, he heard that his troops had not yet left the county, but Dong Jun dared to come over and provoke first, and no one could bear it. The Wen Ba was the first to come out and said loudly: "I am willing to kill the invading thief for my elder brother!"

Wen Chou was overjoyed and said, "Okay!"

This is the first battle, of course, we have to win. One is to boost morale, and the other is to let the scholars of Yingchuan, the people and the Yuzhou army see. Kong Yichang did not dare to send troops, but Wen Chou dared, and he won the battle as soon as he went out.

Since you want to win a battle, it is naturally best to choose a powerful general to fight. The literary giant is the most suitable candidate.

Wenba's song has a few people, only a thousand cavalry, but they are the elite of Wen Chou's army. Facing Dong Zhuo's army, who are also thousands of cavalry, Wen Chou is still quite worried and allocated a thousand elites to him, totaling two thousand soldiers, all of which are all powerful.

After the increase of troops was completed, Wen Chou ordered him to go first and lead the army to help him.

A scholar on the left advised him and said, "Dong Zhuo's troops are strong, and now a thousand cavalry are attacking, but the general only sent two thousand soldiers to attack, and he may be defeated. It is better to summon Wenba back and add troops to the next level, so that he can be safe." This is because Dong Zhuo's accumulated power for a long time and has left a deep mark in the hearts of the scholars in Yingchuan.

Wen Chou smiled but didn't say anything, just watched Tian Feng send Wen Ba out.

Tian Feng personally sent Wen Ba out of the crowd and smiled and said, "I used to attack Ming Gong to defeat the bandits and destroy the bandits. I was named the "Two Masters of Wen's Family". Now I have to fight Dong from Ming Gong, and I will have the first battle. I hope you can show your past power again." Tian Feng was very confident about Wen Ba, because he knew the combat power of Wen Chou's soldiers. He was not as good as Yingchuan scholars, but only knew that Dong Zhuo's army was fierce, but not Wen Chou's army was strong!

Wen Ba held a heavy gun in his hand, raised his head and chest, and responded proudly, saying, "I will not be disgraced from the power of the past, and I will not be the name of my elder brother. Just accompany me in the army and wait for my good news!" (To be continued.)
