Infinite war begins with Cao thief

Chapter 42: It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage (please read)
  After sorting out the available supplies, Dong Huang left Zhang Liao to command Huo Du, Huo Jun, Fu Wei, Niu Gai and others to defend Luoyang and Hulao Pass and other important places, and asked Zhang Ji and Du Ji to provide logistical support and supplies. In order to organize the work, Gao Shun's troops took advantage of the opportunity to attack Chenliu and other counties in Yanzhou and Baimajin, while he personally led the army across the river, aiming directly at Jizhou.

When Dong Huang's main force arrived at Xiaopingjin, news of Taishi Ci and Le Jin's victory just came.

Before sending troops, Jia Xu proposed a plan to attack the east and attack the west. He asked Dong Huang to pretend that the army was about to cross the river from Mengjin, which caused Wang Kuang to misjudge and ordered Han Hao to lead his troops to garrison at Mengjin, intending to defend the river bank. But Dong Huang secretly sent a navy to escort Taishi Ci and Le Jin's troops across the river from Xiaopingjin.

Liu Biao's general Cheng Huan, who assisted in the defense of Xiaopingjin, was easily defeated by Taishi Ci, Le Jin, and Zhou Tai because all his elite troops were buried on the other side of the river by Liu Hu. In addition, due to lack of defense, he was easily defeated by Tai Shi Ci, Le Jin, and Zhou Tai.

After that, Zhou Tai and others stayed at Xiaopingjin to help the large army cross the river. Taishi Ci and Le Jin led their troops to bypass the rear of Han Hao's army to launch a surprise attack, and the other led their troops to raid Zhihuai County, Hanoi County.

Taishi Ci, who detoured to the rear of Han Hao's camp, launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Han Hao's troops that night, captured Han Hao alive, and wiped out Han Hao's troops.

Le Jin, who attacked Huai County, first climbed into the city and easily captured the entire city. Wang Kuang fled in a hurry with only a few guards.

Interestingly, after Le Jin occupied Huai County, he was warmly welcomed from the bottom of his heart by the gentry of Huai County. It turned out that in order to monitor the entire county, Wang Kuang sent his men to hunt down criminals and torture them. The criminals could only pay a large amount of money and materials to pay off their crimes.

So who is the criminal? Of course whoever has the money is the one!

Under this strategy, there was a lot of resentment in Hanoi for a while, so that when Le Jin led his army to capture Huai County, he was regarded as the king's division.

Dong Huang entered Hanoi County amid the welcome of the people of Hanoi.

Hanoi County is Luoyang's barrier on the north bank of the Yellow River, connecting Bingzhou and Jizhou. To the north is Shangdang County. To the west, you can enter the hinterland of Bingzhou, and to the east, you can enter the rich Jizhou. It is not a thoroughfare for the three states, but it is also a strategic location. land.

The main force of Dong Huang's army rested briefly in Hanoi, and then the main force went straight to Yecheng.

Wang Kuang was defeated miserably, and Dong Huang's army crossed the river. The most frightened person was Liu Biao.

After receiving the news from Wang Kuang and Cheng Huan that Dong Huang's army had crossed the river and occupied Huai County, Liu Biao's first reaction, which was stationed near Chaoge, was to run away. Run away quickly!
  Suanzao's [-]-strong army has been defeated, and the Yellow River defense line has been lost. He still hasn't run away, waiting to give Dong Huang his military exploits!

His idea was supported by Geng Wu, Min Chun, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Yuan Shao, Liu Hu, Liu Bei, Zhang Miao, Sun Jian and others!

Geng Wu, Min Chun, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others have been getting along with Liu Biao for a long time, and they are quite satisfied with Liu Biao.

In the original history, some of them had an affair with Yuan Shao, and eventually stabbed Han Fu in the back to help Yuan Shao take Jizhou. However, Liu Biao and Han Fu were different. Han Fu was just an old official of the Yuan family, while Liu Biao was a member of the Han Dynasty. Clan!
  What does it mean to be a member of the Han clan?
  In troubled times, members of the Han clan could legally become emperors!

For knowledgeable people, the situation after Dong Zhuo's chaos is actually somewhat similar to that after Wang Mang's chaos.

This also means that if they can assist Liu Biao to become emperor, they will become the new twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and even replace the thirteen families of the Five Classics as the new powerful family. Isn't this more promising than defecting to Yuan Shao?

What's more, Yuan Shao, who took the blame for the defeat, lost his army, lost his wife, and had no qualifications to compare with Liu Biao at this time!

As for Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Zhang Miao, and Sun Jian, it was helpless to submit to Liu Biao's command.

Most of their soldiers were either killed or drowned. Even Bao Xin, the prince who escaped across the river with them, disappeared into the Yellow River. Now they have no soldiers, no money, and are injured, and can only temporarily survive. He defected to Liu Biao.

Only Cao Cao, although he also escaped, used the excuse of going home to borrow money from his father to recruit troops, so he was not here.

Although Liu Biao was indecisive, he also knew that they were all talents. Under Liu Hu's persuasion, he recruited them and gave them a certain army to serve as his minions. Under normal circumstances, with fierce men like Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, plus Ju Shou, Tian Feng, and others, Liu Biao should be able to train a strong army. However, the time Dong Huang left for them was too short. .

Compared with Dong Huang's army, which had won many battles, their troops were just a bunch of rabble.

In fact, after receiving the news of Yuan Shao's defeat in Luoyang, Jushou had already offered advice to Liu Biao.

Jushou's best strategy is to ask Liu Biao to recruit Wang Kuang, unify the Hebei army, defend the Yellow River defense line, and at the same time seize the time to consolidate Yecheng city defense, reserve city defense materials, and make preparations to rely on Yecheng to fight against Dong Zhuo's army after the Yellow River defense line falls; and proposed The strategy of forming an alliance with Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Zan, and combining the power of the north to jointly defeat Dong's thieves.

Liu Biao's men actually had objections to this strategy. Needless to say, Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's only general, while Zhang Yan was a rebel. As for Gongsun Zan, he didn't even have the courage to continue fighting Dong Zhuo and returned directly. Youzhou.

But Jushu said that Lu Bu seemed to be reused but was actually jealous, Zhang Yan looked reckless but was actually shrewd, and as for Gongsun Zan, as long as he didn't come to seize Jizhou's territory, that would be fine!
  Finally, with Tian Feng's encouragement, Ju Shou successfully persuaded Liu Biao to send people to form an alliance with Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Zan.

However, Liu Biao, who was somewhat hesitant and cherished his feathers, did not completely follow Jushou's suggestion to annex Wang Kuang and defend the Yellow River. He only sent Cheng Huan and others to assist Wang Kuang in guarding the Yellow River; he also did not risk everything to run Yecheng, but left his main force behind. Near Chaoge.

His seemingly mediocre but indecisive approach made Jushou stomp his feet in anger.

On the battlefield, the party at an absolute disadvantage is not qualified to be moderate!

If you don't defend yourself in the front and don't make every effort to arrange the rear, isn't this a recipe for death?
  The subsequent impact of Liu Biao's wrong deployment was quickly reflected.

When Dong Huang's army calmly crossed the river, Liu Biao was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect Cheng Huan and Wang Kuang to be so incompetent.

That's it for Cheng Huan. After all, he doesn't have many elite men under his command, but what about Wang Kuang?

Liu Biao was frightened and hurriedly summoned Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Liu Hu, Yuan Shao and others to discuss countermeasures.

Jushou still suggested that Liu Biao lead the main force to defend Yecheng to boost the morale of the people. At the same time, he sent a group of troops to Liyang to form a quarrel with Yecheng and wait for an opportunity to cut off Dong Huang's army's retreat. He also suggested that Fang Yuanshao go to the Bohai Sea to recruit troops. Liu Bei went to Youzhou to ask for help, and Liu Qi went to Zhang Yan's army as a hostage to ask for help, and selected an eloquent man to bring a lot of money and beautiful women to Lu Bu's army to state his interests!

Tian Feng suggested that a general should be selected to guard Ye City, and Liu Biao would lead his people into Bohai County. At the same time, he would appoint his subordinates as the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of Yanzhou, and seize the two states of Qingzhou and Yanzhou while they were ownerless.

Liu Pan suggested to fight until the end of the battle.

Liu Hu, the agent who was lucky enough to escape with his life after the defeat, did not dare to fight again. Instead, he wanted to seek the governor of Qingzhou, obviously because he had a crush on Qingzhou soldiers.

Yuan Shao kept a low profile and let Duke Ming make the final decision.

Liu Bei, who reluctantly came to the table, saw that everyone had been discussing for most of the night but could not come up with a charter. However, he could no longer bear it. He pulled out his sword and cut off a strand of hair. He said bitterly: "Dong Huang is a treacherous boy who uses his troops cunningly and makes good use of cavalry. Today, my lord." How can our army, which is dominated by infantry, escape the pursuit of Dong Huang's army? How about we take advantage of our morale and inspire you to fight to the death. Even though you are not talented in preparation, you are willing to be the vanguard!"

　　By the way, why has the collection suddenly increased so much since last night? Are there so many rewards and monthly passes? So happy, mycoplasma seems to be cured!
  　　Finally, let’s talk about the issue of grade evaluation. The rank of a military commander generally corresponds to the force of force. The rank of an attendant may correspond to the force of force, or it may correspond to beauty, figure, specialties, and skills. Some people’s flute-playing skills surpassed the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty. , she can also be rated as seventh level. In short, the attendant is the highest one from all aspects; but if the attendant becomes a general, he may not be able to retain the previous rank. For example, Diao Chan can be rated as seventh level as an attendant. This Her appearance has reached the seventh level, but if she becomes a general, her evaluation may not reach the third level; and even among people of the same level, there is a gap in strength, just like the Shang San Chang and the Lower Er Chang, they are also Wuchang. The strength is also very different; finally, regarding the seventh level of force, only Lu Bu is set in this world. Because this world is the initial mission world, there are almost no elements of high martial arts and fantasy, so even the seventh-level Lu Bu can be killed by people, and three top sixth-level ones can defeat him. If you have any good ideas, please leave a message to discuss!
