() "Oh? What countermeasures does Zhong Ling have? Let me tell you." Dong Zhuo became interested immediately. He did not want to take the initiative at this time, but was forced to make this plan due to the situation. If there was a way to have both ends,

, of course it’s the best.

Ma Yue smiled indifferently, glanced at the many colleagues behind him, and saw a bit of disbelief and fear in their eyes. But at this time, he no longer needed to worry about what these people thought, and immediately said: "If we

If you rush to attack the enemy as mentioned in the general's letter, it will definitely bring endless trouble. If you are not careful, it is possible that you will be in a desperate situation like Wang Yuan Xia again.

We will not have a second chance to survive from death and turn defeat into victory. Therefore, I believe that this time we send troops, we must not be greedy for merit."

"It sounds nice, but can my lord use this to rebuff General He? In that case, our enemy will not only be Zhang Wen, but also General He will be dissatisfied with my lord because of this!" Xu Ling

A sneer sneered: "You are completely disregarding the overall situation."

"Brother Xu, don't be impatient. I haven't finished what I said yet." Ma Yue smiled at Xu Ling and then looked at Li Ru. Seeing that the other person just nodded slightly to him, he knew that Li Ru actually had this idea as well.

Yes, but he was overtaken by him. Then, Ma Yuecai continued: "The most taboo thing in using troops is to advance alone. Especially when we are not as good as the enemy in terms of military strength, we must attack steadily. Therefore,

What I mean is not not to send troops, but to send troops slowly, with stability as the top priority. In this way, even if the Qiang people want to take action against us, they will not have much advantage to gain."

"What you said is really funny. If we put stability first, can we still get the credit for quelling the Qiang rebellion this time? I'm afraid Zhang Wen would have led his army to victory long ago!" Fang Zheng also raised objections.

: "Isn't your idea the same as not sending troops? This is not helping the lord, but harming him."

"Brother Fang's words hit the point." Although he was interrupted again, Ma Yue did not look angry at all. He still smiled and said: "Zhang Wen will send troops like us. This is what I want."

Reliable."

"What?" Everyone was in an uproar. They really couldn't imagine what Ma Yue meant by saying this. The relationship between Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo had completely broken down. How could he become the one he said he relied on?

Ma Yue's eyes fell on Li Ru again, and Li Ru also smiled. Apparently he was the only one who understood what Ma Yue meant: "My lord, I think what Zhong Ling said is very reasonable. If Zhang Wen sends troops, it will be possible."

It will become a big help to us. Moreover, judging from the situation between North Korea and China, it is inevitable for him to send troops!"

"Yes, Zhang Wen will definitely send troops. Moreover, he will definitely be eager to use troops against the Qiang people. As long as he consumes the strength and vigor of the Qiang army in the front, and we seize the opportunity to use troops against the Qiang people, our chances of winning will naturally be greater.

A lot." Only then did Ma Yue reveal his true intention.

"Huh?" At this moment, Dong Zhuo finally understood the key point and couldn't help but nod: "Yes, if we can use Zhang Wen's help to consume the Qiang people first, our chances of winning will indeed be much greater. But if Zhang Wen really

Who can quell this chaos before we do?"

"This is almost impossible to happen." Ma Yue said with confidence: "Zhang Wen must be in the same situation as us at this time, eager to launch an attack on the Qiang people. And because they just had a big victory in Long County,

Everyone in the army is full of blind optimism. With these two disadvantages, it is impossible to defeat the Qiang people. As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated."

On this point, Dong Zhuo, who was familiar with military literature, had to agree: "The so-called underestimating the enemy's rash advance and the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Zhang Wen has committed these two consecutive military attacks this time, and it is indeed impossible to defeat the Qiang people!"

"

"After Zhang Wen's army fought with the Qiang people, our opportunity came. The threat of an already exhausted Qiang army is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary times. As long as our strategy is correct, our probability of winning this battle will be

Very big. So, what I want to say is to send out troops slowly and wait for the opportunity to come!" Ma Yue finally summarized his plan.

This time, even people like Xu Ling and Fang Zheng who were rebutting for the sake of rebuttal had nothing to say. This was indeed the safest and most secure way to win the war.

"Lord, I also think this method is feasible. Even if things don't go as I wish, or we fail to defeat the Qiang thieves, or Zhang Wen's army wins, it is the best way to preserve our own strength. You know

, As long as we still have soldiers and horses in our hands, it is still possible to deal with others, otherwise, even if we really listen to General He's wishes, I am afraid that he will be regarded as an abandoned son!" Li Ru also added, adding

One sentence hits the nail on the head: "So what if Zhang Wen's army really wins? With his military strength, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory. By then, with his strength, won't the general situation of Xiliang be controlled by the Lord?"

Dong Zhuo fully understood how important it was to gain a foothold in Xiliang. If he still had enough troops, even if He Jin was dissatisfied, he would not do anything to him in the end. But if it was the other way around, even if he really stood firm, he would not do anything to him.

If he succeeded, the imperial court would be able to let others replace him, which he could not accept. Therefore, after some pondering, Dong Zhuo raised his head and made a decision: "Let's act according to this plan. Let's send troops.

But don’t rush forward, just wait until Zhang Wen’s place fights the Qiang people.”

Once again, Ma Yue, a kid, was exposed in front of the lord and gained the limelight. This realization made Fang Zheng and others feel very unhappy, but also helpless. They knew very well that as such things kept happening, Ma Yue

Having become the lord's confidant and advisor second only to Li Ru, there was no way he could change it, which made them feel helpless. They felt more and more that Ma Yue was no longer something they could handle.

Ma Yue, on the other hand, had no time to care about what these people thought, and once again devoted himself to the logistics support work. Because of his excellent performance in supplying food and fodder to the army in the previous period, Dong Zhuo put this in before sending troops this time.

The key task was entrusted to him, which prevented him from being idle since receiving the order.

However, due to the improvement of Ma Yue's status, he no longer has to stay in Lintao City in the rear to manage food and grass matters when Dong Zhuo led the army as before, but will set off with the army. This also means that he has been regarded by Dong Zhuo

As a true confidant, you can become counselor in military affairs.

??????????

On June 27th, Dong Zhuo finally learned about the movements of Zhang Wen's army. At this time, this group of troops had passed Lintao City and advanced westward, pointing directly at Jincheng County, which was occupied by the Qiang people. It was not until this time that Dong Zhuo

He ordered the army to assemble and then march westward, but the speed of this march was much lower than that of Zhang Wen's army.

On the third day of July, Zhang Wen's army and Chen Bing attacked Jincheng County and launched an attack. This time the attack on Jincheng County was still very smooth. In just three days, the city was captured. After the city was broken, the Qiang army

Forced to break through the encirclement. This greatly boosted the morale of Zhang Wen's army and increased their already existing morale.

Afterwards, after a short rest, Zhang Wen's army continued to advance westward. Dong Zhuo's army followed at the same pace, making it appear to the uninformed that they had clearly become Zhang Wen's army's reserve force. Zhang Wen was very disapproving of this, thinking that it was just

Because Dong Zhuo was timid, he just followed behind and took some credit.

"Dong Zhongying is just a cowardless man! Does he think that he can get credit by just following our army? That's too disrespectful of me. I will definitely tell the court everything!

"Zhang Wen once said this in front of all the soldiers.

In the ensuing battles, Zhang Wen's army still went very smoothly. They successively recaptured the Han cities occupied by the Qiang people and defeated many Qiang troops who tried to block them along the way. The Han army moved westward and soon came out of Longxi County.

, until entering Beidi County where the Qiang people are more powerful.

Because along the way, the resistance of the Qiang people was not strong, and the Han army won many battles, which made Zhang Wen and many of his subordinates despise the Qiang army. Therefore, even though they had entered Beidi County, they had already fought with the rear

Even after opening a long distance, they were still fearless and only wanted to put down the rebellion quickly so as to get rewards from the court. Zhang Wen was even more eager to completely annihilate the Qiang people in one go so that he could defeat the central government.

The backers have an explanation.

The only one who was very uneasy about this was the famous general Huangfu Song. After seeing that the army had penetrated deep into the Qiang territory, he proposed to Zhang Wen several times to temporarily stop the advance, get in touch with Dong Zhuo's army, and join forces with them before returning.

Zhang Wen had no intention of obeying this. In the end, Huangfu Song had to leave depressedly, hoping that this was just his own unfounded worries.

????????????

Just when Zhang Wen's army went deep into Beidi County alone, Dong Zhuo, who was still in Longxi County at this time, received a very stern letter, which was sent by He Jin. However, it was Zhang Wen who had won several victories and reported success.

After returning to Luoyang, He Jin felt embarrassed in court, so he once again ordered Dong Zhuo to join the battle as soon as possible in order to win.

Dong Zhuo laughed it off. He was also a man who could take things up and let go. Now that he had made a decision, he would not be affected by external pressure. As for He Jin who was dissatisfied with himself because of this, he believed that as long as he fought

The final result will be beneficial to you, and the other party will have no choice but to accept it. Strength is the key to whether a person can be powerful.

On July 19th, a shocking news finally came back. Zhang Wen's army met the main force of the Qiang army near Huaide, Beidi County. This time the Qiang people were no longer a stragglers who collapsed at the first touch, but a head-on encounter.

.Zhang Wen's army, which was completely unprepared for a tough battle, failed in the first battle, losing more than 3,000 troops, and was forced to retreat dozens of miles before it stabilized its position!

After hearing the news, Dong Zhuo knew that he had made the right bet this time. As Zhang Wenjun suffered the loss, there was bound to be a good fight between the two groups. The snipe and the clam were fighting, and he, a fisherman, would soon be able to take advantage of it.

Take profit!
