Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Wangyuan County, more than ten miles north.

"Lord, the soldiers are dissatisfied with the use of small buckets to provide food. If this continues, I am afraid that something will happen."

"Huh! There is no food in the army, so what can you do? Is it possible that the big guy has eaten the meal but not the meal?"

In Dong Zhuo's barracks, Li Yan reported to him anxiously, while Dong Zhuo looked helpless.

Zhou Shen was surrounded by Beigong Boyu in Yuzhong County and fought a big defeat. Dong Zhuo didn’t get any better. The Qiang people united with the Huns near Liangzhou and gathered 50,000 troops to surround him. stand up.

In fact, in terms of combat power, the Liangzhou cavalry under Dong Zhuo fought head-on with the enemy, and the outcome was still five to five. But Dong Zhuo feels distressed. These 30,000 iron knights are his baby bumps. If they are all done in the first battle today, how can they still gain a foothold in Liangzhou in the future?

Since Dong Zhuo did not go to war, the Huns and Qiangs were not in a hurry for a decisive battle. The two sides were very tacitly motionless here, but because they were surrounded, foreign grain and grass could not be transported in, so the army had to switch to small fighters and soldiers Everyone has a clear soup and little water, and the face is hungry.

Dong Zhuo sighed, then looked at his beloved son-in-law Li Ru, who closed his eyes.

"Wenyou, what is the plan for the present?"

Li Ru slowly opened his eyes and said with confidence: "Father-in-law, you can order the soldiers to build dikes in the Weishui."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, blocking the river and building a dike?

Li Yu said carefully: "The military division's meaning is to order the soldiers to fish as rations?"

Li Ru smiled, his eyes revealed a bright light: "Sun Bin's plan to reduce the stove, have father-in-law and General Zhiran heard of it? So, so, so, so..."

When Dong Zhuo and Li Yu heard Li Ru's strategy, they couldn't help but look happy.

"It's a trick, it's a trick!"

In the camp of the Hungarian and Qiang coalition army.

"Have you heard?"

A Qiang poked the Huns next to him, pretending to be mysterious.

The Huns shook his head: "What did you hear?"

The Qiang chuckled: "I heard that the Han army was building dikes in the Weishui River. It must be that the army is lacking in grain and cannot support it. It seems that the Han army will be exhausted."

The Huns became interested when they heard this: "So, we will win soon?"

"Hahaha, of course, the Han army will be defeated without food and grass, do we still need to send troops?"

Dong Zhuo dispatched military lieutenants to build embankments in the Weishui River and fish for food. Suddenly, the thoughts in the army fluctuated and complaints were filled.

Even if you use a small bucket, now that fishing is your food, will it be possible to run out of food?

Even so, Liangzhou soldiers are still working hard to catch fish. After all, the stomach is a big problem. People always try to get enough food. How can they survive without eating?

However, the leaders of the Hungarian and Qiang coalition forces did not take it seriously after hearing the news that Dong Zhuojun was blocking the river and building dikes and fishing for food. No matter how long the Wei River grows, how many fish can there be in it? Moreover, Dong Zhuojun has a full army of 30,000. Even if each person eats only one piece a day, it will cost tens of thousands of catties a day. It seems that Dong Zhuo's defeat is set. We only need to wait slowly, and the Han army will naturally collapse without fighting.

After ten days, Dong Zhuo suddenly issued an order: Xiao Dou was changed to Da Dou again, and all the soldiers feasted.

As soon as this command came, all the soldiers cheered and cheered. Every day, Xiaodou ate, and the hungry people had to go to bed all day long, because they were no longer hungry when they fell asleep. Almost everyone lost five or six pounds of fat.

Although I don't know where the food comes from, let's talk about it when you are full! The hungry Dong Zhuojun finally got his wish and had a full meal. Then Dong Zhuo ordered the whole army to leave the camp.

Thirty thousand Dong troops flocked to the edge of the Wei River, and the Huns who were observing did not take it seriously: these Han troops were fishing again, so they simply turned a blind eye.

But I didn't expect...

Looking at the dry river bed in front of him, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered: "The whole army picks up soil to fill the river bed, and I will cross the river immediately."

As the saying goes, there are many people and great power. Tens of thousands of Dong Jun held a handful of soil, and it didn't take long for him to fill up a section of the river bed that had dried up because of the embankment.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, hehe smiled and said, "Wenyou really is a good strategy, I'm afraid it's these husky people who think we are going to fish here."

Li Ru smiled slightly, and then solemnly said: "Father-in-law quickly order to cross the river. Chi will change."

"The whole army retreat!"

Dong Zhuojun, a fisherman who had been a fisherman for half a month, realized it at this time. He laughed and ran out after Dong Zhuo. Tens of thousands of troops stepped on the mud that had just fallen into the river bed. The soft mud was immediately trampled on. Be strong.

"No, it's not good, Dong Zhuojun has crossed the river!"

At this time, the scouts of the Hungarian and Qiang coalition forces discovered Dong Zhuojun's behavior and hurriedly returned to the camp to report.

"What? Dong Jun crossed the river, what's the matter?"

"General, Dong Jun will fill the dry river with mud, and the army will cross the river."

The Qiang leader was furious and stood up, furiously saying: "What? You wait to see Dong Jun approaching the river bank, don't you take precautions?"

Several Hungarian and Qiang lieutenant generals in the audience said cautiously: "Dong Zhuo ordered the construction of a river embankment. There has been no movement for half a month. I waited for them to come here just for fishing, but no one thought of crossing the river."

The Qiang leader's angry nose was crooked, and he furiously said, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you go after it, go!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go after this."

Seven or eight members of the Hungarian and Qiang general Zuo rushed out of the camp, mobilizing troops and horses to chase Dong Zhuo.

However, Dong Jun had been prepared for a long time, with mental arithmetic and unintentional. The horses were running fast and disappeared long ago. Therefore, the Hungarian and Qiang coalition forces could only return without success, and naturally they were scolded for buying shoes.

Dong Zhuo returned to Meiyang and went to meet Cheqi General Zhang Wen.

Dong Zhuo didn't dare to be arrogant and domineering this time. Before, he didn't respect Zhang Wen very much because of his arrogant nature and defiance. Now that he has been defeated, he retreats desperately. If he is daring to speak rudely, Zhang Wen can't kill himself?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wen sighed.

"Zhong Ying, please, you are doing very well."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, his head quickly turned, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Che Qi, what has the other five-way army achieved?"

Zhang Wen reluctantly smiled: "The remaining five, four were defeated, and more than half of the casualties. Only Zhou Shen, Tianshui County guard Liu Ye helped, fought fiercely with Yuzhongcheng Hu Qi and killed 8,000 thieves, but his own army lost more than 10,000."

In other words, although Dong Zhuo did not win, he was the only one among the six horses to return to the whole army. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wen sighed: "The chaos in the Northwest is really hard to deal with, Ben Jiang has spoken to the emperor these few days, please resign and let Huangfu Zuoqiqi re-command."

In the Northwest War, Zhang Wen really felt at a loss, and his army was defeated. Although the Qiang rebels were also killed and injured, he really felt powerless. It would be better to let veteran Huangfusong take the lead.
