Chapter 531 Another Luoyang Dilemma

Whether it is the present or the future, the trusted generals must guard one side. He does not want to cultivate a group of generals who split the world, nor does he want to chop off his brothers with his own hands. Therefore, some warnings must be brought out in advance. After clarifying their attitude, if they dare to violate the rules or want to split up and become kings and dominate, don't blame him for chopping people's heads.

He did not confirm the four general managers on the spot, and some things needed to be discussed with Dong Zhuo. The province's Dong Xiangguo and the Taishi Dong had to knock on their heads again.

Dong Hu focused on resettlement of the people and did not care too much about the princes, but he did not expect that in more than half a month, the scout camp sent him one after another. Not only did Cao Cao recruit soldiers in various counties of Chenliu County, generals Yan Liang, Yu Jin, and Wu'anguo actually crossed the Wandang Canal, only thirty miles away from Kaifeng City.

Kaifeng and Chenliu County are adjacent to each other, and the two counties are only fifty miles apart. There is an artificial swaying canal connecting the Yellow River and the Huai River. If the two sides confront each other across the river, they don’t care much, but when the 50,000 troops cross the swaying canal, this means provocation.

Dong Hu naturally would not turn a blind eye to others, but just as he was about to adjust his strategy and tactics, Sun Jian led his troops into Yingchuan County and even moved further towards Changshe County.

At the same time, Cao Cao recruited soldiers in various counties in Chenliu County, and general Cao Ren crossed the Langdang Canal to join forces with Wu'anguo's troops.

Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan County, led 20,000 troops into Weishi County, Chenliu County, and Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin led 10,000 troops into the sour jujube by boat. Zhang Miao's general Gao Lan and Zhang He led 10,000 troops in Pinggao County, which was only twenty miles away from Chenggao County on the south bank of the Yellow River...

Looking at the direction pointed by the arrows drawn on the simple map, Dong Hu instinctively realized the danger and realized that the princes of Kanto wanted to fight a decisive battle with him, which surprised him very much.

In the TV series "Three Kingdoms", all the princes gathered in Chenliu from the beginning, and this is impossible to happen in both historical records and in reality.

The Central Plains is flat. If all the troops gather in the direction of Chenliu County on the eastern front, both Dong Hu and Dong Zhuo could send an elite cavalry to Nanyang County in Jingzhou and Yingchuan County in Yuzhou, and then rush to the rear of Chenliu County.

Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Yichang, the governor of Yuzhou, were all promoted and appointed by Dong Zhuo after becoming prime minister. It is only three or four months now. It is difficult for the prefects of various counties to obediently support them in such a short time. At most, they are on the sidelines.

Yanzhou has under its jurisdiction of Chenliu County, Dongjun, Dongping State, Rencheng State, Taishan County, Jibei County, Shanyang County, and Jiyin County.

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, was from Taishan. Although he was currently the prefect of Hanoi, he recruited tens of thousands of soldiers in Taishan County. It was considered that Taishan County had participated in the war. Who else would be there? Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Bao Xin, the prefect of Jibei, and Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County.

Except for the three counties of Dongping, Rencheng, and Jiyin County did not participate in the war, five counties of the eight counties (countries) in Yanzhou participated in the war.

Except for the prefectural governor Han Fu, the prefect of Bohai County, Yuan Shao, and the Qinghe County Prince Liu Sheng, the rest of Jizhou, did not participate in the war.

There are prefecture master Kong Yichang, prefect of Yingchuan County, Li Min, prefect of Xuzhou, Zhang Chao, prefect of Guangling County, and Gongsun Zan, prefect of Changsha, Jingzhou.

There is Gongsun Zan in "Three Kingdoms", but according to Dong Hu's memory and historical materials, there is nothing he has done about him. Perhaps his accidental appearance has affected some historical trajectories, so Gongsun Zan actually came to join in the fun, but in the news sent by the spy, Gongsun Zan had already returned to Youzhou.

Yanzhou is undoubtedly the most active place to attack Dong. Hebei and Henan seem to be in rebelling, but in fact they are all on the fence and not helping each other. But if Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu ordered the general to attack Nanyang County and Yingchuan County, and then enter Yuzhou, what would those on the fence and prefects do?

Rebellion?

Or provide food and supplies for the quelling of the rebellious Han soldiers?

If it were normal people, since they were on the wall and watching, the worst case was to huddle in the city and not help each other. But after all, the court was the court, and someone would honestly open the city gate to supply food for the fast-moving Han cavalry. And such a soldier rushed to Runan County, Pei State, Tu Guang Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao's hometown?

What will the morale of the coalition forces be like after the bloody massacre and killing chickens to warn monkeys? The rebel princes still do not have the courage to face the dead bodies of Baili? Can all families who support them have the courage to continue rebelling?

These are real problems. In this way, all the princes would have to surround Luoyang from all directions and block Mengjin, Hulao Pass, Zhuoyuan Pass, and Dagu Pass. Only by surrounding Dong Zhuo at various dangerous passes and creating an illusion that "you can only attack Dong Zhuo by yourself, but Dong Zhuo cannot attack himself" will others be confident and rebelled, and they can also create an extremely powerful momentum, forcing Dong Zhuo to move the capital to escape into Guanzhong.

Only by trapping Luoyang from all directions and creating a powerful and invincible aura will Dong Zhuo be afraid and choose to withdraw strategically. The consequence of the withdrawal is that Dong Zhuo gave up control of the world, and the Central Plains has also become a "ownerless" state. The princes from all sides will definitely take the opportunity to swallow the Central Plains.

In "Three Kingdoms", the situation of various princes gathering in Chenliu County was simply impossible. They could only encircle Luoyang and create a situation where "two fists cannot match four hands" and use this to make a void.

But now...

Dong Hu looked at the arrow marked on the map. The princes from all walks of life were obviously gathering towards Chenliu County, and they formed the dilemma faced by "Luoyang" in Kaifeng. Tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Xuanzao County threatened Kaifeng from the north, more than 100,000 soldiers gathered in Chenliu County in the east, Sun Jian and Li Min had 40,000 soldiers, Gao Lan of the "Four Courtyards" on the back road to the west, and Zhang He threatened Hulao Pass.

"Brother!"

Dong Chong walked in with a gloomy face.

"Xinzheng County just sent news that Sun Jian had indeed entered Changshe County. They obviously wanted to besiege us from all directions!"

Dong Hu took the inquiry report, took a few casual glances, frowned and threw them on the ground without any worries.

"It seems that we are still arrogant, but we don't know which person is doing this."

Dong Chong said angrily: "We don't provoke them, they are still arrogant. Big brothers, brothers are very annoyed. Are you teaching those bastards some lessons?"

"Oh? How do you guys want to teach them some lessons?"

Dong Hu was stunned, looking at Dong Chong's angry look, and then wanted to laugh.

"Brothers have discussed it. Since they are arrogant, let's poke them in the butt and directly poke the old boy Han Fu's nest!"

Dong Hu smiled and said, "After you discussed it, do you think it is safer to let who will stab you?"

Dong Chong raised his hand and took off his helmet, scratching his head, "If it's safer, we need to say something to the Black Mountain Army and let Zhang Yan and the others help each other. But this way, it will take us some time, at least one month, but brothers are worried that Yuan Shao won't give us a chance."

Dong Hu nodded silently. If it were just Yuan Shao, he might not have radically wanted to start a war immediately, but now, Zhang Miao is more willing to drive away Dongbu Yicong, who always threatened Chenliu County, not to mention Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Moreover, once the various armies surrounded Kaifeng County, whether it was Cao Cao, Sun Jian, or anyone else, as long as they launched the attack first, others would passively send troops. This is no longer the battle between Liangdong and Sun Rong fought between Sun Jian and Xu Rong, but the war that took place beside Chenliu County.

The battlefield was changing, and it was no longer the same as the historical trajectory that Dong Hu knew. Sun Jian ran to Changshe, and most likely the Battle of Liangdong was gone.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Dong Chong hesitated: "Brothers think that if someone convinces Zhang Yan to send troops, it will take at least one month. If you want to fight quickly, you can only let Da Ya lead the troops into Hanoi."

Dong Hu leaned down and patted Dong Chong's shoulder heavily, and smiled and said, "You have discussed well. The plan is to rescue the enemy. However, the river water is rising at this time, and the water is turbulent. Moreover, Wang Kuang has 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hand. In addition, Zhang He and Gao Lan who ran to Pinggao, they have 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses available. Brothers will not cross the river so easily."

"The plan was to send troops to Dagu Pass, either attack Nanyang County, Yingchuan County, or directly attack Runan County."

"The next plan is to gather all the troops and fight with Yuan Shao and others here, or move back strategically to avoid the tens of soldiers led by Jizhou Gao Lan and Zhang He cut off our retreat, and retreat with his uncle to Guanzhong, and fight with the enemy with the eight passes of Luoyang."

Dong said with a key point: "Since it is not easy to cross the river at this time, then we will choose the plan. Let the sluts and release them, and they will stab Nanyang, Yingchuan, Runan, and they are all Liangzhou Malaysia. Let's see what those bastards can do!"

Dong Hu thought about it...

"We want to merge the trap and merge the next plan together, and turn Sun Niu and Hu San's troops into cavalry. We don't play with them. We all get into their stomachs. Let's take Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Since we want Luoyang so much, we will give it to them."

Dong Chong was stunned, and the next moment he slapped his head suddenly.

"Yes! Why did we forget that there are still many war horses, donkeys and mules in our war horses, donkeys and mules! Let's go and have someone to send a command to Luoyang..."

Dong Chong was very anxious, but Dong Hu grabbed him with one hand.

"No, no hurry. Within ten or eight days, Yuan Shao will not be able to launch a full-scale attack. You should first notify your brothers of military discussion and some things need to be arranged clearly."

"Then let's notify the battalions now."

Dong Chong was very happy. The brothers had already wanted to beat those guys up. Seeing that the elder brother nodded and agreed, he ran out of the study.

The battlefield was changing. Dong Hu knew that Yuan Shao was building a camp, Yan Liang, Yu Jin, and Wu Anguo crossed the lanyard, but he did not think that 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers dared to launch an attack on his own initiative. Not to mention the 20,000 captured soldiers, he alone had 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers, and 50,000 or 60,000 or 60,000 or 60,000 or squads were not enough to make him retreat.

Dong Hu did not pay too much attention and focused all his energy on the placement of 100,000 prisoners. It was not until the spies in Chenggao County discovered that 10,000 soldiers appeared opposite the river that he realized that something was wrong. Later, Bao Xin's 10,000 soldiers were found in the direction of Lingzao County, 20,000 Yingchuan troops led by Li Min were found in the direction of Weishi County, and Sun Jian's troops also appeared in the direction of Xinshe County.

After only half a month of neglect, another "Luoyang" dilemma was placed in front of him.
