Chapter 76 Yang Ding fears the battle

The reason why Wen Chou specifically instructed Zhao Yun to pay attention to intercept Hu Zhen's aid cavalry was because the people from Yique and the people from Liyang gathered, and the Dong camp where Guangcheng was only a hundred miles away. Although they did not know Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others decided not to attack Liang County or Zhucheng City, but to directly attack Yang people and the Dong camp where Guangcheng was. However, once the war began, Hu Zhen, who was in charge of these Guanzhong, would get the message quickly. He would send a cavalry to rescue him, as Wen Chou said, he would arrive at at most two days.

If Hu Zhen sent reinforcements, he could arrive in two days. However, because of the elite Dong army, Wen Chou could not yet determine how long it would take for him to gather the Yang people and Guangcheng gathered Dong camp. If he could defeat him within two days or even within one day, that would be the best, but if he could not, he would need to consider the reinforcements that Hu Zhen might send.

Wen Chou said again: "There are barbarians living in the valley near Liang County, and now I am fighting with Dongying. The barbarians in this valley must be guarded against. Zilong, you must not only be wary of the aid cavalry that Hu Zhen might send, but also be wary of the barbarians in the valley near the battlefield."

There are many mountains and valleys south of Yique. As early as the pre-Qin period, there were many barbarians living in the valleys here, and there are still many savages appearing. Even in the original history, until the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei State specially set up a barbarian general in Liuhun City, a hundred miles northwest of the city. What they defended were the barbarians and savages in the surrounding valleys.

Wen Chou and others were about to gather with the Yang people and Guangcheng Dongying. From common sense, the fierce battle between more than 10,000 elite troops in the valley must not dare to interfere with the barbarians in the valley, but they can defeat them. If they fail, the barbarians may take advantage of the opportunity to rob and attack the defeated army. Therefore, not only the Dong army in Yique and Guanzhong, but also the barbarians in the valley need to be prepared.

Zhao Yun Yingnui.

Wen Chou said again: "Dong Bing is strong, I will fight him. Win or lose. If I lose, Zilong, you don't need to come to save me. Just be optimistic about the way out, so I can retreat calmly."

"promise."

"If I win, you should not be anxious to enforce your troops to annihilate and chase. You can wait for our orders, and then the troops will move."

"promise."

The more than 20,000 people led by the Yuzhou Captain was mostly new soldiers. The new soldiers have two characteristics: one is that they can fight with the wind and are difficult to fight against the battle. The other is that they have never been on the battlefield and are familiar with their practice. They will inevitably feel panic when fighting with the enemy with real swords and guns. This panic will definitely cause various mistakes and loopholes, which may lead to chaos in the entire formation. Because of these two characteristics. Therefore, Wen Chou told Zhao Yun that he must not lead troops to battle immediately regardless of whether he wins or loses. Otherwise, if Wen Chou is defeated, it will only make things worse. If Wen Chou wins, it is very likely that he will turn victory into defeat.

Although Zhao Yun was shouldering the responsibility of staying in the army this time, he seemed to have no need to go into battle. It seemed very relaxed, but in fact, the responsibilities he shouldered were not as light as those of Wen Chou, Sun Jian and Zhou Lu. Wen Chou only killed the enemy in front, and Zhao Yun had to deal with all the changes that might occur.

Seeing that Wen Chou had given Zhao Yun's instructions, Yan Liang stood up and asked, "Brother, I will go to fight the next day. Although the three armies in the left and right of the battle have also been decided to go to the left, the left and right armies have also been decided to stay in the army, but as the military said just now, "Brother, I just defeated Dongqi in Yingchuan County, and the Dong army must be afraid now." Although the three armies I have fought now are less than 10,000. There are only 9,000 soldiers in Dong's camp, and the number of soldiers is only less than 5,000, and there are still only a handful of us. If he is still afraid, he still refuses to fight. What should we do?"

If all the troops are suppressed, the Dong soldiers in Dong camp may not dare to fight with the crowd of 30,000 to 40,000, but now they only use elite troops to fight, but there are still 9,000, which is still more than the Dong soldiers in Dong camp, almost twice as many as the Dong soldiers. Then what should we do if the Dong soldiers are still timid and dare not fight?

Yan Liang asked this question very well.

Wen Chou laughed at Tianfeng, Tian Chou and others, and then turned to Yan Liang and said, "If he is willing to fight, it is naturally the best. If he is still afraid of our soldiers and dare not fight, there is no need to worry about Gongji,..." He pointed to his stomach and smiled, "I have already gotten a good plan here."

The Yang people gathered, and the leader of Dongying of Guangcheng was a captain under Hu Zhen's tent, named Yang Ding, who was also from Liangzhou. He was in the same county as Hu Zhen. In his early years, he joined Dong Zhuo's command, bravely fought and bravely took over several battles. He made great contributions in his battles. Because he was personally appointed by Hu Zhen, he was sent here to guard Yique and Guangcheng's southeast frontier position.

Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang, and after taking control of the power of the court, he rewarded all the generals under the tent, each promoted and promoted the title of General of the Central Army and the Chief Commander. Yang Ding was also awarded the title of General of the Central Army and the Chief Commander. Because of his many military achievements before, he was also awarded the title of Chief Commander by Dong Zhuo. He was originally called "Zhenwei". This time, the princes of Shandong raised an army to strengthen the momentum of the headquarters. Xuan was named Zhengshuo, and Dong Zhuo changed his title of Chief Commander to him, and now he was named "Exorcist".

The Sun Jian, who Yuan Shu's remarks, was a "general of rebellion". The world was war and the princes were in conflict, and they all wanted to use "big righteousness" as their name, but who was "righteous" and who was "rebellion" was difficult to explain clearly.

Wen Chou, Sun Jian and other troops stationed in the east of Zhucheng. They discussed the strategy of their march on the same day and took a day off the next day. Then the entire army set out early on the third day. In addition to leaving a 3,000 Yuzhou lieutenant, 3,000 people to visit Liang County, Cheng Putong 2,000 people to visit Zhucheng stewards, and the remaining 30,000 infantry and cavalry all marched to the Yang people gathered, and Guangcheng gathered outside the Dong Jun camp in the middle.

Fifteen miles outside the camp, Wen Chou issued a military order, ordering all troops to suspend the sergeant cavalry to visit the Dong camp again.

From here to Dongying, he went back and forth for thirty miles, and rode a fast horse and turned back in less than an hour to repay Wen Chou.

"Report to General, Dongying heard that our army was bypassing Zhucheng, and suddenly came to the front of the camp, and the camp was in chaos."

"Does Dong Jun mean to go to war?"

"We were far away from the camp and heard the sound of drums in the camp. It was estimated that General Dong was summoning generals to gather troops, but the gate of Dong camp was closed, but there seemed to be no intention of sending troops."

Wen Chou turned to Sun Jian beside him and said, "It seems that Yuan Hao, Feng Xiao is not bad. After being defeated for a while, Dong's army has indeed put away his arrogance and changed his previous attitude, but now he has become timid and afraid of fighting."

If it is not afraid of war, Dong Bing's pride and courage, when he heard that Wen Chou had arrived, he would be afraid that he would go out to fight back immediately? But now he is closed at the gate, and he is obviously timid and dare not fight.

Sun Jian said: "I heard that Dong General Yang Ding is also quite brave under Dong Zhuo's tent. He is called Dare to Fight. Now, looking at his actions, he is arrogant first and then timid, but he is not a good general."

Yang Ding was arrogant first and sent a thousand cavalry to drive straight in. He even swung the city to Yingchuan County to provoke Wen Chou. After his defeat, he became timid and fearful again. Even though Wen Chou had already reached the front of the camp, he still kept his door and dared not fight. He was unable to call him a good general. (To be continued.)
