The World of Yellow Sky

Although Wuguan in the south is in his hands, Nanyang County is south of Wuguan, and Nanyang County may be captured.

But so what if he captured Nanyang County, Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, which was in Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang is the most important city in Jingzhou. It can be said that whoever occupies Xiangyang will control the initiative on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

As long as Liu Biao thinks, he can send troops to attack Nanyang Basin at any time, but if he wants to attack Xiangyang from Nanyang, he must cross rivers and rivers, cross checkpoints, and go through hardships before he can see the city wall of Xiangyang.

At that time, the reinforcements from the Chen Du court had already arrived from all directions, and going south from Wuguan was a deadly place.

Dong Zhuo knew very well that after losing this battle, they were completely trapped to death in Sili and Guanzhong.

Dong Zhuo stood up, and all the generals in the hall focused their eyes on Dong Zhuo, waiting for Dong Zhuo to speak.

"Wenyou, come with me."

To everyone's surprise, Dong Zhuo did not get angry, nor did he discuss the next situation. Instead, he called Li Ru and left the government office.

Li Ru frowned slightly, looking at Dong Zhuo's leaving back with a worried look on his face.

"This time the information was leaked, which led to the ambushes. The Eagle Wolf Guards on Taiping Road may have started to spread rumors. Everyone should go back to the camp first to appease the soldiers."

Li Ru did not immediately follow Dong Zhuo out of the hall, but walked into the hall first, and informed the generals in the hall to return to camp.

After getting the order, everyone got up and left one after another. The atmosphere in the government office was too depressing.

Li Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, watching a group of generals walk out of the mansion, he waited for a while, and then walked towards the back hall of the mansion.

Dong Zhuo was sitting in the courtyard behind the hall. He heard footsteps, and after glancing at Li Ru, he turned his attention to the big trees in the courtyard again.

Li Ru walked forward slowly and knelt aside, looking at Dong Zhuo with a calm face, he was a little confused about the situation for a while.

"Since Xu An has already set up an ambush, he must have already started to spy on Guanzhong. Perhaps he has already led the army to Hedong County at this time."

Li Ru thought about it, Dong Zhuo was not angry at the moment, maybe it was time to remonstrate.

"The good news is that most of the ferries at Puban Ferry are in our hands. We can first order Xu Rong to return to Linjin, and then burn all the ferries."

"When Duan Yan retreated, he didn't lose an inch, and burned most of the ferries."

"Relying on the defense of the three cities of Linjin, Heyang, and Xiayang, it is difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to cross Zuo Fuyi westward from Hedong County. It is not a problem to preserve Zuo Fuyi."

Li Ru frowned a little.

"The only problem is Xiao Guan and Mao Jin..."

"Maojin is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and Hangu Pass may... be difficult to preserve..."

"However, Fan Chou is now stationed in Huayin, and Linjin is not close to Huayin. Huayin's terrain is steep, so we can rely on it. It shouldn't be a problem to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army."

"Xiaoguan has fallen and is now occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. The leader of the Liangzhou Army is Yan Zhong. If he goes down the river, he can go directly to Chang'an. Therefore, I suggest that Minggong can return to Xiaoguan first and gather the elite first. After defeating the Liangzhou army, and then plotting against Liangzhou, the east side can only abandon Hongnong County and keep defending..."

Li Ru stopped talking, he found that Dong Zhuo seemed to be thinking about other things.

"I joined the army when I was young, and followed the old general all the way. After many battles, I was finally promoted..."

Dong Zhuo raised his hand, pointed forward, and sighed.

"When the future was brightest in the past, I was addicted to pleasure and sensuality..."

"It's my responsibility to get to where I am today."

Dong Zhuo was turning around, facing Li Ru, with a serious face, lowered his head, and said sincerely to Li Ru.

Li Ru's face was moved, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat.

Dong Zhuo raised his head and looked directly at Li Ru.

"Xu An now occupies 25 counties in the four prefectures. It is enough to show his ability to establish Bingzhou, attack Youzhou, Pingliang Prefecture, and seize Hedong."

"One hundred thousand Liangzhou troops defeated Gao Pingchuan overnight..."

Dong Zhuo stood up slowly, stared at the front, and said in a deep voice.

"Xu An legislated in the Taiping Road, engaged in farming and weaving, and repaired the tools of war."

"The Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei all bowed their heads and tied their necks, and the Taiping Taoist Committee ordered officials to lead the various ministries."

"The Yellow Turban Army has won consecutive battles and their morale is high. On the other hand, our army has lost consecutive battles. The morale of the army is unstable and the generals are frustrated. This victory is not even [-]%."

"You should know better than me."

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru calmly and said indifferently.

Li Ru's complexion changed slightly, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said he couldn't speak, and just lowered his head.

After Yanshi's defeat, they were actually in a desperate situation.

This time can be regarded as their last fight, but Xu An was well prepared, and it cost them even more.

Originally, it was difficult to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army only by relying on the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Now that there are fewer troops and lower morale, how can they resist the Yellow Turban Army who is like a wolf and a tiger, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

"Xuan Tingwei sent an urgent report last night."

Dong Zhuo put the silk book in his hand in front of Li Ru, then walked down the steps, and stood in front of the big tree in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Li Ru unfolded the silk book in his hand, and when he understood the contents of the silk book, the pupils in his eyes suddenly dilated a few points.

"This…………"

Li Ru's hand holding the silk book was trembling.

"The picture is poor and the dagger is seen, Wang Yun finally revealed his true face, presumably they also received news from outside the city."

"I have to say that their timing was good. They happened to fall at Xiaoguan, and the Liangzhou army went down the river. However, I led a large army to station in Linjin, and suffered defeat in Hedong County. It was a time when there was no time to divide the troops. "

Dong Zhuo's eyes sharpened slightly, and he said coldly.

"What a Wang Yun, what a Gai Xun, what a Huangfusong, they can endure for such a long time without letting me find out, it's really a good plan."

"At the beginning, I really should have made up my mind to kill them directly."

Facing the enemy, internal and external troubles.

There are Wang Yun and others making trouble inside, and the Yellow Turban Army soldiers outside are oppressing the border. They have really entered a dead end.

Li Ru's face was gloomy, and he held the silk book in his hand tightly.

The building is about to fall, and there is no way to support it alone. Even with all kinds of calculations and plans, it is difficult to restore the decline.

"The heaven and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is burning; the building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support a tree."

They lost, one defeat after another, and the defeat along the way made them lose everything.

Although the world is big, there is no room for them anymore.

"We haven't lost yet. Now that Wang Yun and others have not formally launched an army, we can send a Xiao general to lead Jingqi back to Chang'an quickly, and can control the situation. Then we can rely on the three cities of Zuo Fuyi to defend Huayin. As long as we defeat Liang The Yellow Turban Army in the direction of the state, Guanzhong is still ours!"

Li Ru stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

He didn't want to admit defeat, and he couldn't face failure.

Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the bandit is defeated, the winner is the king, the prestige is prominent, and the loser is the bandit, who dies and the family is wiped out, and becomes a laughing stock.

"I've let you down once."

Dong Zhuo didn't turn around, his back was still facing Li Ru, his voice was firm and powerful.

"But I said, this time, I will never let you down again!"

Dong Zhuo turned around slowly and faced Li Ru with a solemn expression.

"Although the ending is doomed and defeat is inevitable, it is not my style, Dong Zhongying, to sit and wait for death."

Dong Zhuo grinned.

"Although the name of this era is destined not to belong to us."

"But at least at this last moment, we are entitled to choose the way the curtain ends."

Two soldiers came slowly and put on Dong Zhuo's battle robe.

Today's Dong Zhuo is much thinner than before, and he can vaguely see the meaning of bravery.

He is no longer the Dong Zhuo who is tired of drinking and sex, and he is slowly changing back to the old Dong Zhongying who can shoot left and right, gallop and draw the bow.

Unfortunately, it was a step too late after all.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

In this world, there is no regret medicine that can be bought, and there is no machine that can travel through time.

"Order the whole army to enter Huayin!"

Dong Zhuo strode forward with cold eyes.

"A man should die in the field, not in the house!"

Chapter 626 Three Years of Chuping

Chuping three years (192 years).

This year is destined to leave a strong mark in the history books.

The flames of war first ignited from the East County of Yanzhou because of the confrontation between Yuan Shao and Sun Jian across the river, and then quickly spread.

At this time, none of the three major powers in the world, Chendu in the East Court, Chang'an in the West Court, and Taiping Road, were able to stay out of the world.

Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Sili Xiaowei's seven states.

From the Bohai Sea in the east to Xiaoguan in the west, it stretches for thousands of miles, with wars everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were involved in the war, millions of people were implicated in the war, and tens of millions of people were involved in the war because of the war. And be affected.

May [-]th.

Only seventeen days have passed since the beginning of the Battle of Dongjun.

Sixteen days have passed since Dong Zhuo sent an army to attack the Taipingdao territory.

The war in Dongjun is still in a state of anxiety.

The Jingzhou army continued to attack for ten days, but they were still unable to take Liyang, losing thousands of people in vain.

Yuan Shu led the Nanyang soldiers across the Yellow River and besieged the Dongjun Weiguo area under Yuan Shao's control on the north bank of the Yellow River.

There are two cities in the Weiguo area of ​​Dongjun to the north of the Yellow River, one is Hemu City and the other is Gancheng, which are the southern barriers of Jizhou.

The two cities were guarded by two generals under Yuan Shao's command, Chunyu Qiong and Lu Zhao, and Yuan Shu did not make any substantial progress.

Compared with the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo's command, the Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou soldiers under Yuan Shao's command are more resilient and powerful.

Although the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command absorbed the elite of the original Forbidden Army, the Knights of Three Rivers and the Forbidden Army of the Five Schools.

However, the overall atmosphere of the Xiliang Army was affected by Dong Zhuo, and most of the original army will be eliminated.

Most of Dong Zhuo reused the former generals of the Xiliang Army, and the direct descendants of the Xiliang Army held an attitude of rejecting the trilogy of other regions, whether it was the Bingzhou Army or the Forbidden Army under Ding Yuan's original command.

The impact of this can be seen from the fact that Zhang Yang and Jia Xu fled north with Bingzhou soldiers.

The army and strength are inconsistent, the hearts of the people are in chaos, and the combat power is naturally self-evident.

This is why he was repeatedly defeated by Sun Jian despite the superiority of troops and terrain.

Not only because of the generals, not only because of the command, but more importantly, the morale and hearts of the army.

Before disbanding the Allied Army against Dong, Sun Jian was defeated by Xu Rong at the beginning, escaped with only a dozen cavalry, and gathered thousands of rout troops behind him.

At that time, everyone was terrified by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry, Xu Rong defeated the coalition forces twice, and his reputation shook the sky.

However, at this time, Dong Zhuo appointed Hu Zhen, an adult from Liangzhou, as the commander to lead the trilogy to attack Sun Jian.

Xu Rong did not belong to the Liangzhou branch, so he was deprived of the position of chief general.

And even the Liangzhou faction, the direct descendant of Dong Zhuo, is not an iron bucket.

Later, the reason why Sun Jian was able to defeat Hu Zhen with a weak soldier, turned defeat into victory, and invaded Taigu Pass with continuous victories all the way was also because Hu Zhen was at odds with other generals at that time.

In terms of command, Xu Rong is actually no worse than Sun Jian, and even a little better.

But it was precisely because of these internal problems of Dong Zhuojun that Xu Rong was defeated by Sun Jian in Yanshi in one fell swoop, lost the battle of Yanshi, and ruined the future of Dong Zhuojun.

The trilogy under Sun Jian's command can be used like a finger, and most of the soldiers who participated in the battle were soldiers from Yuzhou and Nanyang.

The generals are united as one, and the soldiers take the lead bravely.

The general will be the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers will be the prestige.

The pressure threshold for soldiers under Sun Jian was much higher than that of Dong Zhuojun, and Dong Zhuojun's defeat was actually doomed from the very beginning.
