Chapter 4 Immediately Horizontal Gun Section 6 (Part 2)
"Brother Wentai, 140,000 vs. 130,000. After this battle, Xiliang has no troops. The rebels have been eliminated, but what about Qiang and Hu? Qiang and Hu have not been eliminated." Huangfu Li whispered, "What should I do if the Hu tribe invaded in the future?"
Geng Bi hurriedly said, "I will discuss this matter later. The most important thing now is to deal with the enemy in front of you. Don't go too far."
Seeing the atmosphere tense, Sang Yang hurriedly said, "Prince Taiwei should make a decision."
Zhang Wen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Immediately, General Dong is ordered to station troops in Meiyang City, and no step back."
Tao Qian's face turned cold, he sighed, and walked out of the tent with his hand.
Sun Jian shouted angrily: "Master Sima is rude. He doesn't even bow to the Grand Marshal and then gives up the account. It's so rude."
Zhang Wen reached out and patted Sun Jian, and advised with a smile: "Gongzu is arrogant and always like this. Don't be surprised, don't be surprised."

This is a brilliant day in the sun. The warm sun, the blue sky, the white clouds, the breeze, and the boundless blue plains make people feel relaxed and happy.
Li Hong and Xiaolan rode wildly beside Chengguoqu, enjoying the moment before the war came.
"The Black Panther has much stronger adaptability, and a good horse is a good horse." Xiaolan patted the black panther's agile body hard and praised it repeatedly.
"How are the war horses of each tribe adapting now? Are there still dead?" Li Hong asked with a smile while wiping the sweat on his head.
"I heard from Xiaohu yesterday that the situation has improved a lot in the past few days. Didn't Zuo Sima report to you?"
"I have been in the military camp these days. I ask Zuo Sima to handle things by himself. He is very knowledgeable, well-written, well-written, and well-played chess. Once Zilong's article had something wrong and pointed it out to him. Look at how Zilong admired him, he almost didn't call him a teacher." Li Hong said with a smile, "He is gentle, humble and generous, and he can get along well with us. Fortunately, he stayed there. If he left with Zhang Baiqi, it would be a pity."
"There are too many talented people in the Yellow Turban Army. When I asked Wei Zheng and Wei Guoan to be an assassin, the old man was very unhappy and thought I was too casual and did not pay attention to this matter. Now, after more than a month, from Handan to Chang'an, no major violations of military discipline had happened. I was surprised that Guoan still has such great ability? People with knowledge are different. They are orderly and organized, clear in the main and secondary, resolute and decisive, and powerful. They can't be admired. The old man convinced him. Chen Ming, the military officer of the scout camp, had better ability and methods of doing things than to guard the words. One day I threatened to guard the words. If I don't do it well, I will go cool down."
Xiaolan smiled and said, "Shouyan must be very angry. But then again, we started with Lu Longsai. For more than a year, you have been from soldiers to generals of the Central Army. We have benefited from you, and we have also gone from soldiers to Sima and Sima of other troops. But because we have never read books, we are indeed inferior to those who have read books in many aspects. The difference between literacy and reading is that one is in the sky and the other is in the ground."
Li Hong hugged his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged? I can't even write a good article, so I'll be a general. If I have time in the future, I'll ask the teacher to teach us. By the way, I'll ask Zuo Sima, without paying money. Actually, I think reading is mainly about being wise and knowing how to be a human being. If you know how to be an upright person, know what you should do, and don't have to study. Just like when we are in a war, no one teaches you, but you can still fight and win battles. Those corrupt officials are all scholars, but they are better off illiterate than to harm the country and the people. Are you right? "
Xiaolan nodded, "I heard you talk, and there was no trouble. When Lu Longsai was in Lu Longsai, the four of us liked to listen to you. If Wu Ba and Datou were still alive, it would be great that the five of us were together. In that case, we are still in Lu Longsai and can still sleep in every morning."
Li Hong didn't say anything, but hugged Xiaolan's shoulder hard, feeling sad.
He sighed and said, "Everyone will die, sooner or later."
"What are you doing in the military camp these days?" Xiaolan asked, "I'm still making spears?"
"Yes, we need to make more weapons. The military officer Shi Jiwei and Ji Zhengyi brought many carpenters and blacksmiths from Jizhou, so as long as there is no shortage of raw materials, they can still make a lot of them. Ji Zhengyi used to be a merchant who made medicinal materials. He was a businessman and was a flexible mind. This time he arrived in Guandong, many soldiers were not accustomed to the local conditions, vomited and had diarrhea, and had dizziness and fever. Fortunately, Ji Zheng had many doctors and bought a lot of medicinal materials along the way, otherwise it would be a big trouble. This person is amazing. Since the old man had him as his deputy, he shook his hands almost every day, and now he still has time to help me walk his horse."
Xiaolan sighed: "Indeed, we would be miserable without those doctors."
Li Hong continued: "At present, our infantry lacks effective means to deal with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and they also lack long-term training, so we are now counting on these giant spears to exert their power."
"There are enough giant spears, so we urgently built a batch in Jizhou. What we lack now is giant shields and the training of soldiers. Although they were the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the past, they were much worse than those of Lulongsai's soldiers."
"Let's just make do. The battle between more than 200,000 people is not about the soldiers' physical strength and weapons, but about the number of people. Last year, we conducted many infantry and cavalry training on the Guangning Grassland, and we have great experience in how infantry fight against cavalry. Are you still using this method to train soldiers?"
"Of course. You can deal with war horses, are you still afraid that you can't deal with people?" Xiaolan asked with a smile.
Li Hong laughed.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui were playing chess leisurely in the big tent.
"The fat man has not retreated until now, are he any intentions?" Zhang asked quietly while waving his hand to the scout.
"The fat man is very cunning, be careful. We are camping thirty miles away from Meiyang to prevent him from raiding." Han Sui smiled, "Aren't he afraid of our siege?"
"Zhou Shen and Huangfu Hong's men are all in Huaili, so the fat man is certainly not afraid of us besieging the city." Bian Zhang gently put down his son and said slowly, "It's really strange that he won't retreat when we come. Should he wait for us to meet Shi Tou and attack him together?"
"Who is Fatty? When did he suffer a loss? But from the moment, it is true that he has any tricks. He only has 30,000 people, and he wants to raid, but his troops are not enough. He has 30,000 cavalry? Zhang Wen's troops have no 30,000 cavalry yet. What tricks should this fat man play?" Han Sui shook his head helplessly and said slowly, "I can't figure it out. From the information we have obtained so far, the reinforcements from Jizhou may have arrived in Chang'an. But does this have anything to do with the fat man's strand in Meiyang? As soon as Zhang Wen's reinforcements arrived, our double-shot strength was basically equal." He slowly put down one son and continued, "But their cavalry is weaker than us. June thunder is our final guarantee."
"Shoucheng's Iron Cavalry on Zhang Wen is OK," said Bian Zhang, "Have he written a letter to you recently?"
"No. Ma Teng is hesitant to do things, wanting to rebel but afraid of being scolded, so he will not be able to become a big climate." Han Sui smiled slightly, "Isn't he the descendant of General Fu Bo? What's the matter? We neither oppose the Han nor the emperor, who would scold him?"
"After all, Shoucheng is a descendant of a famous family, so it is normal for him to have too many concerns."
"Forget it, I don't expect him to fight back. The fast horse urged Liu Yue Jinglei and Tielang to stop being slow in Shooting Tiger Valley. Go to Youfufeng to join the battle earlier. Have you sent the order to Shi Tou?" Han Sui asked in a low voice.
"It has been sent four times. This stone is already an enemy, so what kind of friendship is there? He has been delayed. What's the use of 80,000 of us surrounding Meiyang? Not only can we not be defeated, it may be surrounded by Zhang Wen's reinforcements. This stone..." Bian Zhang shook his head repeatedly, looking helpless.
"He and Li Wenhou's troops are more than 100 miles away from Meiyang, and they are almost here, but they are afraid that they will suddenly find that Fatty Dong has disappeared tomorrow morning. You write a letter to tell him that if he is not yet Meiyang tomorrow afternoon, we friend should not do it. Everyone will lead the team back to Jincheng." Han Sui stroked his long beard and smiled, "I asked Ma Wan to go in person and pull his face down and say it."
Bian Zhang laughed.

Dong Zhuo suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Is Lao Bian here?"
The scout was frightened and hurriedly replied, "Here you come, general, here..."
"Okay." Dong Zhuo roared, his expression extremely excited.
Several subordinates sitting around were surprised and looked at Dong Zhuo together.
"General, what happened?" Li Su asked cautiously.
"Old Bian is here, and the stone will arrive tomorrow, what's the point?" Hu Zhen purred in dissatisfaction.
Dong Zhuo looked at his subordinates around him and smiled and said, "Old Bian has come early, stones have come late, so there is no need to fight tomorrow. Why are you unhappy about such a good thing?"
Li Su is one of the four lieutenants under Dong Zhuo. The other three are Hu Zhen, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, and one is older and a young friend of Dong Zhuo, named Yang Ding. When Dong Zhuo was in his twenties, he took Yang Ding and more than a dozen other brothers to conquer the world. Now they are all killed in battle one after another, leaving only Yang Ding, one brother.
Li Su was tall and heroic, gentle and well-mannered, and spoke in a verbal manner. He was good at observing words and expressions, pondering Dong Zhuo's thoughts, and saying something Dong Zhuo liked to hear. Dong Zhuo has always liked him very much, but he was afraid to open his mouth, so he never dared to regard him as his confidant.
