Although Dian Wei responded repeatedly, he was still dissatisfied.
Wang Yan quite understands this situation. After all, Wen Wu is first and Wu Wu is second. Although this is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is not far from reality. Maybe there is some vague sense of momentum, but it is definitely not strong enough to make a stranger scared when they meet.
The military commanders here all have the reputation of being killed. Lu Bu was even worse. In the following period, he was beaten and surrounded by the world's invincible. But in the later stages, Lu Bu's combat effectiveness was no longer good. As he got older, alcohol and sex eroded his health, causing his physical condition to decline. But even so, he could fight Zhang Fei for a hundred rounds in Xuzhou. There are reasons why he is weak, and there are reasons why Zhang Fei is stronger, but Lu Bu's strength cannot be denied.
In addition, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, etc., all have great reputations. Only those who knew and listened to the people who were killed would feel the power of those people.
Unlike Dian Wei, he was already quite strong and only relied on his bravery to get ahead. He killed officials in his hometown. After killing them, he walked away holding a pair of halberds. None of the hundreds of people who chased him dared to take action. Isn't he very proud?
So after hearing that so and so is so awesome, how could he be convinced? The battle between Liu Guan, Zhang Sanying and Lu Bu at Hulao Pass was widely spread throughout the world. He didn't watch it with his own eyes, so he couldn't possibly know how strong Lu Bu was and what level of players Liu Guan and Zhang were. Of course he had also heard that General Wang violently attacked Liu Guanzhang a few years ago.
But actually?
Dian Wei came to vote today and saw General Wang sitting there lazily and casually. His body was thin, he had no belly, his frame was not big, and he was not tall. Dian Wei pretended to be Wang Yan and even had a lot of surplus. Such a person can give Liu Guanzhang a beating, and Liu Guanzhang can beat Lu Bu away. He only wants to think about it, but doesn't see it. What kind of weaklings are they? How to have a great reputation in the world?
Looking at Dian Wei's appearance, Wang Yan shook his head: "It's great if you have great power within yourself. However, your lifespan is limited and your manpower is limited. You are strong now and can be defeated by a hundred people. What if you are over half a hundred years old? But there are still This courage? The power of one person is limited, but the power of ten thousand people is infinite. How can two armies fight in battle? In the final analysis, the army unites in one place and enforces orders and prohibitions. This is the right way. Even if you are braver than Xiang Yu, you can resist the call of thousands of armies. ?
You are capable of running rampant, which is enough for you to be a ranger, but far from enough for you to be a general who leads an army. Don't stare, I know you won't accept it. It just so happens that I haven't been in battle for a long time, so I will discuss with you to dredge the veins and move the muscles and bones. "
Dian Wei shook his head repeatedly: "I will bear in mind what the general said, so there is no need for discussion."
Wang Yan was very keen to grasp the trace of disgust in Dian Wei's words, because he was afraid of beating him to death.
He shook his head amusedly: "Are you looking down on me?"
Without waiting for Dianwei's explanation, he said: "I know that you have not seen Liu Guan, Zhang Hulao Pass and Lu Bu fighting. Now that you see my body is thin, you think the rumors are untrue. I caused people to spread the rumors and make my name famous. Don't you know that force is used to defeat generals, not to fight against generals?" You are here to brag. Don’t hold back, I will follow you whether on foot or horse."
"How can a war general be without horses, so he fights with a general wearing armor and on horseback?"
The big boss has said so, what else can Dian Wei say? I can only think about holding back until the fight actually breaks out.
"Do you have armor?"
"Please give me the armor, General."
Looking at Dian Wei's look, Wang Yan laughed. This guy was quite honest and didn't hide his thoughts. He immediately waved his hand and said, "I want to arrange for you to enter the Xuanjia Camp as a heavy armored cavalry. There will be craftsmen at that time." You are suitable for making armor, so today I will put on ordinary armor first."
After that, Wang Yan called his guards and took Dian Wei to the military supply warehouse to select armors. There were many that matched Dian Wei's figure. Either it was captured, it was captured. Dian Wei's figure is basically the standard for a fierce general. For armorers, a few centimeters difference in height is not a big problem.
On the other hand, what General Wang is most indispensable for is armor. Now under his rule, he has mastered everything from iron ore mining, smelting, mold making, workers to polishing, craftsmen to start finishing, and finally workers to weave according to the pass number. , the next step of adjustment will be made after subsequent distribution. There are even craftsmen who specialize in armor, and are constantly designing everything from its defensive capabilities to its aesthetic appearance.
The armor currently distributed to the militiamen may have undergone some changes after one or two thousand sets. The changes are not big, but they are indeed being improved. This is still a standard armor, and there are even more varieties of armor that are open to customization by senior generals. In terms of armor, after seven years of accumulation, and the policy encouragement of General Wang, it can be said that it is a waste of money, and the toughness of the material may not be enough. Some, but in terms of aesthetics, it has definitely reached the peak level of armor in its original history.
It’s not that people don’t have creativity, they just don’t have the right soil to carry it. Today's policies encourage, in the words of General Wang, that as long as you don't cheat money, you can study anything, and you need to have unconstrained and brilliant ideas.
Soon, Dian Wei chose his armor, fetched his pair of iron halberds from the post house, and chose a tall and strong horse from the stable. General Wang also wore black armor, but instead of Ma Shuo, he used his Han sword. Because Ma Shuo was too long and took advantage of the weapon, Dian Wei might not be convinced.
The autumn wind is fierce and stirs up endless dust. The two riders were fifty meters apart, facing each other. Wang Yan held the sword with one hand, and Dian Wei held a halberd in each hand.
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that Dian Wei didn't move, Wang Yan shook his head, still not looking at him. Immediately ride your horse forward and kill the general. Dian Wei stayed put and waited for Wang Yan to attack.
Seeing the general swing his sword calmly, he calmly waved his halberd to block it. The blade of the sword intersected with the body of the halberd, and with the sound of gold and iron striking, a strong force came, pressing the halberd onto Dian Wei's head.
Um? Dian Wei's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe it. Wang Yan has thin arms and legs, and his body is not fat. How could he be so strong? But he couldn't help but not believe it, so he immediately took it seriously, swung another halberd, went straight to the general's head, and surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao with a move.
Wang Yan was seen calmly, he raised the sword gently and blocked the halberd with gentle force. Dian Wei's old strength was not exhausted, but new strength was added to it. The inertia of the halberd prevented him from making any other movements. Even though his body was very strong and his waist and horse were united to withstand it, he still moved his position to one side.
During this breath, the general raised his sword and struck horizontally with a rounded blow, directly hitting Dian Wei's helmet, forcefully hitting Dian Wei's Pegasus and causing him to roll.
Dian Wei stood up and shook his head. He knew that General Wang had made two mistakes, and this time he had suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy. He immediately shouted "come again", jumped on the horse, and took the initiative to kill...
It took an hour to prepare back and forth, but the battle lasted only ten minutes. Dian Wei was mortified, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. The general asked him about his family situation. After hearing that he was the only one at home, he promised to give him a wife, and then he would be old. Be honest, grinning and become a pawn in his army...
For those who have such self-restraint and courage and are somewhat frivolous, just give them a beating. Just like Tai Shici in the past, he is so good now. He hits wherever he points and is very obedient.
Dian Wei actually came at the right time. How could a heavy cavalry unit as fierce as the Xuanjia Battalion not be led by an equally fierce general. However, Zhao Yun's compatibility is a bit inconsistent. Although he is equally fierce, Zhao Yun is also a handsome young man with a white horse, silver spear and bright armor, which feels wrong. Moreover, there must be enough troops to fight in Bingzhou, and Xuanjia Battalion will definitely not be able to do so, so Zhao Yun was promoted to lead a single guard, and Guo Jia was given the command to fight.
Now that Dian Wei is here, he has filled the gap in Zhao Yun's bravery. If Dian Wei leads the Xuanjia Battalion, his style will be right. A tough man led a group of tough guys in a desperate charge. Moreover, the Xuanjia Battalion will not fight independently at all, because they are highly dependent on logistics, which is destined to have poor combat range and mobility. So there was no need for Dian Weiduo to change his mind. He could just follow orders and hit wherever he was told.
Taking into account the changing situation and the subsequent layout, Xuanjia Battalion will also be transferred to Pingcheng. The terrain of Bingzhou is flat and open, which is also suitable for Xuanjia Battalion to fight. Besides, he won't go south in a short time, and it would not be good for Xuanjiaying to raise his uncle at home.
If Dong Zhuo is still not stunned, he will definitely send troops to block it. There are also Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui. Although these two people have different positions on the issue of facing the 'king thief', their choices are not necessarily different.
Ma Teng was loyal to the Han Dynasty. If this were not the case, Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes. As a big boss, Ma Teng would not be unable to understand the situation. Cao Cao pretended to be promoted, so he threw himself into the trap, which was somewhat foolish and loyal.
Han Sui was originally rebellious and wanted to expand his territory. With this as an excuse for the king's thieves to annex the state, it was reasonable for Han Sui to send troops to carve up the state and compete with the king's thieves for territory. This could definitely be done.
With the three armies of Dong Zhuo, Han Sui and Ma Teng, Guo Jia could only use 3,000 Zhenwu Guards, 6,000 Xiaoqi Battalions, 6,000 Shenwu Guards, and 1,000 Xuanjia Battalions this time. Taking into account the redundancy of each unit, the full force would be 20,000 troops. . The population there is not large, and there are only more than 8,000 militiamen of appropriate age. Together they can barely reach 30,000, and their military strength is not dominant.
But the good thing is that his soldiers eat and drink well, train seriously, and their combat effectiveness is increased. Now Guo Jia is still coordinating, Zhao Yun is leading the team, and Xiaobing Dianwei is ensuring the bottom line, so it's almost a close fight.
The deployment of troops is very slow these days, and it is not very urgent. So when all the soldiers, horses, food and grass were transferred to the vicinity of Pingcheng, Guo Jia was very straightforward and simply asked Zhao Yun to surround Pingcheng. A month and a half had passed.
It was winter again in the North. Guo Jia was wearing a fur coat, with his hands folded in his sleeves. He looked at the shivering defenders on the city with a smile, and then looked at the sergeant running in circles just outside the city gate. . Take a deep breath and smell the aroma of mutton and fish soup.
Zhao Yun was also on the side, wearing light leather armor and a bearskin coat. Although he was wearing mink gloves, he still inserted his hands into his chest and asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, how long do you think the defenders in the city can last?" ?”
In terms of rank, Warlord Sima is not as high as him, a titled captain, but with the word Warlord, he becomes a superior. Guo Jia has the final say regarding his logistics. However, they have a good relationship. Guo Jia used to work in the General's Mansion, and he also had to meet General Wang from time to time. The two of them interacted a lot. In addition, we are almost the same age, so we call them by their first names.
In fact, for now, Wang Yan's civil and military officers are getting along well with each other. The main reason is that now is still the time to conquer the world, Wang Yan is extremely powerful, and his subordinates have not yet formed an interest group.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Guo Jia smiled: "Before coming here, you have already discovered that you will escort a batch of grain and grass before winter. It has been nearly a month since winter, and there must be insufficient grain and grass. Moreover, Yuan Jian has sent troops to cut off the grain route. , it will inevitably be unable to last for a long time and will be broken before spring comes.
In addition, our army has nothing to do in winter, and the siege does not consume much food and grass. It is also good to allow them to see the food of our army. Zilong, you must take strict precautions, lest the defenders in the city run out of food and fodder and become trapped beasts. "
Zhao Yun nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Fengxiao. The Shenwu Guards have three gates, each with two thousand men. We have elite soldiers, and it's the middle of winter. Even if one of them goes out and fights to the death, they won't be able to defeat me."
"That's good."
Guo Jia likes the current feeling of being able to move freely, it's very refreshing.
The 10,000 enemy troops in Pingcheng are alone. There was no army here at the beginning. Because when Wang Yan took action, the princes were attacking Dong and had no energy left to defend. However, seeing that Wang Yan did not continue to advance, they stopped taking care of it and allowed the people to run this way without being able to control them.
After Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, only 10,000 soldiers and horses came here to prevent Wang Yan from continuing to expand. They thought that Wang Yan would focus on attacking Jizhou, because Bingzhou was relatively poor and not as good as Jizhou, and Wang Yan did not station a stronger military force here. After more than a year of peace, they became numb and careless, and the ten thousand soldiers and horses were wasted.
This time the troops were mobilized slowly, but quickly. When the city didn't react, they surrounded the four gates and only allowed dozens of them to run out at the south gate. Guo Jia had deliberately asked them to deliver the message. The remaining defenders in the city made a tentative breakthrough, but they were not very lucky. Zhao Yun happened to be on the side of the breakthrough. Those who were killed abandoned their helmets and armor, and the weather was cold, so they hid in the city and did not come forward.
Guo Jia looked deeply to the south, where Chang'an is...
Chang'an has experienced the destruction of war, and Liu Xiu made Luoyang his capital. It has not been able to return to the heyday of the Han Dynasty for two hundred years. However, Chang'an is Chang'an, and the old capital is the old capital. Even if it has not returned to its peak, it is not comparable to other cities.
Dong Zhuo also brought hundreds of thousands of people here to make this place look more prosperous. It would be better if there weren't so many people shivering and hugging each other, and if there weren't occasional frozen people on the roadside.
There was light snow falling in the sky, and the snowflakes fell on the ground, accumulating a thin layer, decorating the ancient city pool somewhat beautifully. Of course, snowflakes fall equally, but some people are warm as spring in their houses, while others are naked in the open air.
Snowflakes fell on the head of a young man. He was lying on the ground with only rags and crouched body. The snow falling on his body actually made him feel warm. For a moment, he smiled with satisfaction.
Then it was gone. Then, he curled up, the snow became heavier, and there was an unknown snow bag on the ground...
Xiwu is a very large fortress, 250 miles away from Chang'an City. It was built by 250,000 people. The height and thickness of the city walls are just like Chang'an. Palaces were built in the city, and 800 beautiful folk girls were selected to house them. Among them, there are twenty years' worth of grain stored in the warehouse, countless gold, jade, colored silks, and pearls piled up, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding it. Dong Zhuo once said: If you succeed, you will dominate the world; if you fail, you will be able to stay here until you are old.
In the greenhouse, Dong Zhuo, who had gained weight, took off his shirt irritably and put on a brocade singlet. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hands to fan the wind, and asked irritably: "Today in the greenhouse, Who started the fire?”
"The Prime Minister is a refugee, and I don't know my name. I don't know what the Prime Minister's instructions are?" A person in the hall answered respectfully.
"The fire is strong today, making me irritable and uneasy. Let's chop it down."
"Yes, Prime Minister." The man bowed his hands respectfully and retreated to do his work.
After a while, he brought the sergeant over. The sergeant was holding a wooden tray in both hands, with a dead human head on it. There was no brilliance in the open eyes.
"It's so dirty, why should I see it?" Dong Zhuo stared, and the man quickly confessed, terrified.
Dong Zhuo didn't want to kill him, but just waved his hand impatiently. The man seemed to be amnesty and left quickly with the equally scared sergeant. As soon as I went out, I met a thin, slender-faced scribe with a goatee and a fur coat hurried over.
"I have met the Lord Attendant."
Li Ru hummed, and after seeing that there was no difference in the head, he went straight into the greenhouse and saw Dong Zhuo.
"The good son-in-law is in such a hurry, but there are changes in the city?" Looking at Li Ru's appearance, Dong Zhuo asked in surprise.
"No, just now Zhang Yang came as an envoy to say that the king of Liaodong surrounded Pingcheng with the intention of annexing the state. If Yanmen is lost, Chang'an will be in danger." Dong Zhuo didn't need to think about it himself, Li Ru continued, "Previously, Zhang Yang joined Yuan Shao to attack the prime minister's country. Later, Yuan Shao withdrew his troops in a hurry, and Zhang Yang also stopped his troops and left. Now the king wants to plan to annex the state, but Zhang Yang is in trouble, so he came as an envoy, intending to surrender to the prime minister's country, so that the prime minister's country can send troops to rescue and protect the annexed state."
Dong Zhuo nodded, it was so simple, of course he could see it. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Wang Yan has been saving for six years and has more than 100,000 men with armor and string control. It is said that they are all well-trained and strong in battle. In less than half a month, he went to Youzhou and killed Gongsun Zan. Zhang Yang surrendered to me and wanted me. Send troops to rescue...what do you think?"
What he said made it clear that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Wang Yan.
If he sends fewer troops, there will definitely not be enough for Wang Yan to kill. If he sends more troops, he is afraid that the people in Chang'an will act strangely and lose control of the situation. What's more, there are other princes who are watching eagerly. If they know that his defense is empty and send troops to attack, wouldn't it be all over? This puts you in a dilemma that is difficult to resolve at the moment.
Today's Dong Zhuo is no longer the former Dong Zhuo who had great ambitions, experienced hundreds of battles, had a strategy, understood the overall situation, and understood current affairs. He is no longer the young man who acted like a knight.
After dealing with the attacks of the princes, he moved to Chang'an, built this luxurious shed, drank wine and beautiful women every day, and all the princes in the court were frightened. His life has reached its peak and he already feels satisfied.
Obviously, this state is not very good, but he doesn't know it...
