Chapter 91 Hu Zhen sends troops
Facing Wen Chou's question in this tone, the man said respectfully: "There is a small battle, but the outcome has not been revealed. When he heard that the lord and General Sun and others won consecutive victories, he won more than ten thousand. General Cao was very happy and asked me to bring back the lord, saying that military strategists were valuable. There were 30,000 Dong soldiers in Yique and Hu Zhen was called a fierce general. Although the lord won consecutive victories, it would be best not to rush forward. You can wait for him and join forces with Yuan Cheqi to discuss the attack and fight."
Since Cao Cao was safe, Wen Chou was relieved. He also became interested in the movements of Yuan Shao's army and asked, "Where is Chunyu Qiong's army?"
The man replied respectfully: "In Heyangjin."
Wen Chou frowned and said, "Have he ever fought with Dong Jun?"
The man said, "Captain Chunyu only led his troops to stalemate with Dong's army across the river, and there was no war."
Yuan Shao said that he was sending Chunyu Qiong to Mengjin. In fact, Chunyu Qiong did not go to Mengjin to station troops. Mengjin was on the south bank of the Yellow River. Now Han Hao, the army commander of the prefect of Hanoi, was stationed. Chunyu Qiong did not go to join forces with him, but paved on the opposite bank of Mengjin, Heyang on the north side of the Yellow River. This was not the front line of confrontation with Dong's army, but was separated from Dong's army, so of course he would not have any war with Dong's army.
But the problem is that if he didn't go to Mengjin, Han Hao was the only one in Mengjin. With his little force, he would be reluctant to defend the city. How could he have the strength to attack Dong's army and support Wen Chou, Sun Jian and Cao Cao?
Wen was scandalous and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Now I attacked Dong three times, but Chunyu Qiong stayed in Hebei and refused to cross south. This is to stop himself. Fortunately, I did not march directly to Yique Pass before, otherwise the future would be unpredictable." He thought, "Yuan Benchu, as the leader of the alliance to challenge Dong this time, really has no responsibility. Even if he has food and fodder, and Han Gong did not cooperate, etc., but now I, Cao Cao and Sun Jian attack together, he should not just sit idly by. In terms of his courage, he is far inferior to Cao Cao and Sun Jian. This may be one of the reasons why he will not succeed in the end!"
From this, he was even more determined. Unless he waited for news of Cao Cao's victory, he would never march north.
In Yique Guanzhong, Hu Zhen summoned all the generals under his tent and was discussing military affairs. Wen Chou and Sun Jian's series of great victory made him complain.
As a result, Hu Zhen showed Dong Zhuo's military order and said, "The Prime Minister just issued a military order saying that the Guandong Prefectures and counties have launched an army. All the roads are not worth worrying. Most of them are mediocre people and cannot succeed. Only Wen Chou is quite cunning and fierce, and Sun Jian is quite a little bitch and should not be underestimated. Now that the two of them are joining forces northward, we must not fight easily. Our troops must strictly guard the gate. In this way, as long as Wen is able to block Sun outside the pass, it is your great achievement."
"Wen Chou cunning, fierce and fierce", in other words, Wen Chou is wise and brave; "Sun Jian is quite a little arrogant", in other words, Sun Jian does not know how to preserve his strength and only knows how to fight blindly, and is a reckless man who is desperate. It has to be said that Dong Zhuo's comments on Wen Chou and Sun Jian are quite appropriate.
After Hu Zhen declared Dong Zhuo's military order, he said to the generals: "What are the orders of the prime minister, what are you still objections?"
A few days ago, after Yang Ding was defeated and the news of the destruction of reinforcements reached Guanzhong, the guards of Dong's army in Guanzhong were used to being arrogant and could not bear this tone. They were all in an uproar. Many people asked for battle, and many people yelled to lead troops out of the customs to deal with Wen Chou and Sun Jian. As the chief general of the area, Hu Zhen finally suppressed the anger in the army. Today, he received the order of Dong Zhuo and read it to them immediately.
Dong Zhuo's prestige in his own army was unparalleled. The soldiers under his tent, rather than being a national army, had already become his private soldiers. Seeing that he had such a military order, the generals and schoolmen who had previously shouted to go to war had nothing to say and could only follow the order.
In this way, Hu Zhen's intention to suppress everyone was achieved. Seeing that all the generals had nothing to say and didn't say much, Hu Zhen wanted to leave the meeting.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came outside the door, and a man rushed into the room with the wind.
Hu Zhen looked up and saw that it was a confidant adviser, and said unhappily: "I am discussing the military. What are you doing in a hurry?"
The confidant was planning a matter and said gaspingly: "Good news, good news!" It shows the urgent need for him.
When Hu Zhen heard this, he was immediately delighted and asked, "What good news?"
"General Xu defeated Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, and killed Bao Tao, Wei Zi, Zhang Ti, Cao, and Bao's troops in the formation. Cao and Bao were all injured and killed. Cao and Bao were only spared. Only Zhang Miao led half of his troops to stay in the rear and survived. They were especially hiding and did not dare to advance!"
Bao Tao is Bao Xin's younger brother, Zhang Ti is Zhang Miao's clan brother, and Wei Zi is Zhang Miao's general. The three of them are Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao's officers second only to Cao, Zhang and Bao in the army. Even the three of them were killed. It can be seen how fierce the battle between Cao Cao and Xu Rong was. Zhang Miao was not very radical, so he did not end up in a completely defeated place.
Hearing this report, the generals who were about to be separated in the room were immediately energetic. Someone immediately shouted: "Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin's army was defeated, Chunyu Qiongtun in Heyang and did not dare to go south. Now the three rebels are only Wen Chou, Sun Jian is on this journey! General, since we have no worries, we can attack Wen with all our might. Sun, but we don't send troops quickly, and we will go to attack him?"
Hu Zhen hesitated and said, "Just as soon as the Prime Minister's military order was issued, how could we go to war rashly?"
One of the ministers said: "This is the time, that is the time. When the Prime Minister's order was ordered, General Xu had not defeated Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin. The prime minister would have ordered us to strictly guard the checkpoints and not to fight. But now Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin have been defeated, Wen Chou, and Sun Jian was unable to beat him alone, which was the time for me to attack."
Hu Zhen said in doubt: "Let me report it to the Prime Minister and wait for the Prime Minister to make a decision."
Another general said: "Yique travels nearly a hundred miles from Luoyang. When the Prime Minister's military order comes down, Wen Chou and Sun Jian must have learned about the defeat of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and Bao Xin. Even if our army left the pass, it would be too late to catch up with us."
"Can't catch up?" Hu Zhen murmured to himself, thinking to himself, "Yes, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin's defeat, Wen Chou, and Sun Jian's troops were indeed alone, so they could only retreat. If we could pursue our troops for a while when they retreated, it would definitely be a great military achievement."
Retreat is more difficult than attack, especially when you learn the news of the defeat of a friendly army, the morale of the army is floating, and it is even more difficult to retreat. If there are pursuers at this time, if you are not careful, it will be the end of the destruction of the entire army.
Hu Zhen was also a quick decision. After thinking about this, he immediately made a decision and said, "All the generals obeyed the orders and immediately ordered ten thousand elite soldiers and left the customs immediately. I will take them to attack Wen, Sun!"
After being defeated by Wen Chou for two or three consecutive times, Hu Zhen also held his breath. He wanted to get the military merits of the tail enemy's pursuit and victory over Triumph in person. (To be continued.)
