In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
The Zhongshan Mountains are shrouded in wind and rain, turning yellow and gray; a million soldiers cross the great river.
The land, once crouching like a tiger and coiled like a dragon, is now more magnificent than ever before; a complete upheaval has taken place, a sight to behold.
We should press on with our remaining strength to eliminate the enemy, and not seek fame like Xiang Yu.
If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; the true path of humanity is fraught with vicissitudes.
Seeing thousands of boats racing across the river, and recalling the million-strong army gathering in Luoyang, Liu Wei immediately thought of the great man's poem, and a feeling of pride welled up within him.
Singing to express one's aspirations is naturally an expression of feelings, spoken spontaneously!
"My lord, what...what is this...?"
Yue Fei opened his mouth in surprise.
He never expected that his lord was also a poetry enthusiast.
Moreover, the poems he composed were so bold and unrestrained, their spirit so powerful it seemed to encompass the entire landscape.
A powerful and inspiring aura, like that of Yue Fei, who aspired to soar like a roc across the land, is overwhelming, perfectly matching the ambition of Yue Fei.
The surrounding Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Li Su, Liu Du, and others held him in even higher esteem.
How many rulers throughout history have possessed such literary and military prowess?
Today's million-strong army will be sent out one by one to take over a place. Just imagine having a hundred thousand troops under your command at once, how heroic and inspiring!
Yang Lian had already taken out his pen and quickly wrote it down.
Someday in the future, he will be able to compile a book called "The Poetry Collection of the King of the Clouds," which includes Liu Wei's famous poems and verses.
"Made on a whim!"
Liu Wei took in everyone's surprise, smiled faintly, and then said, "Grand Commander, now that the armies are in position, let them all advance another ten miles towards Luoyang and put pressure on the enemy!"
"My lord, now that we have formed an encirclement, why not press on and wipe out Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop?" Yue Fei asked.
Commanding and coordinating a million-strong army requires not only Yue Fei's super military brain, but also a closely connected command system that ensures efficient transmission of orders.
From Yue Fei's camp to various military units, scouts and mounted soldiers came and went in an endless stream every day.
Yue Fei commanded his million-strong army as easily as his own arm, simultaneously deploying them to checkpoints around Luoyang.
Moreover, 250,000 troops were crossing the Yellow River at the same time on the north bank.
When Dong Zhuo's troops, stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, saw such a large army pressing in, they had already fled without a fight.
"Dong Zhuo and the imperial army currently number around 250,000."
“Although we have already achieved victory without fighting, and it is now easy for us, this is not what I want!” Liu Wei smiled and shook his head.
"What does our lord desire?" This confused Yue Fei.
Liu Wei deployed a million-strong army, consuming mountains of food and supplies every day, and besieged Luoyang City but did nothing but flaunt his military might.
"What I want, Dong Zhuo should give me very soon!"
Liu Wei smiled mysteriously, "If he hesitates to make a move, then let me give him a push!"
"Grand Commander, Dong Zhuo's troops haven't suffered any major losses yet. What do you think about taking out a portion of them first?"
"Let him know that he can forget about begging for his life; I intend for him to die."
Yue Fei quickly sorted out his thoughts: "If our lord wants to take one of their forces, how about the one at the foot of Mount Beiman?"
"As far as I know, there are 10,000 cavalrymen here, which is Dong Zhuo's core force. If we wipe out these 10,000 cavalrymen, he will naturally be driven to desperation."
"The Grand Commander is very pleased with my opinion. This villa in Beiman Mountain is where I once lived. How can we allow Dong Zhuo to use it as a military camp?"
Liu Wei nodded, granting Yue Fei's request.
"My lord, Grand Commander, may we take on this battle?"
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Liu Du stepped forward to request permission to take command.
The three men now directly command 6,500 cavalrymen, all of whom are elite special cavalrymen of unparalleled prowess: 2,000 Beiwei Army, 1,000 Baima Righteous Cavalry, 500 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, and 3,000 Duoyan Three Guards.
However, the three of them were soon to be assigned by Yue Fei to command a large army.
This million-strong army was divided into three routes by Yue Fei: left, center, and right. Yue Fei commanded 250,000 troops in the center, Xue Rengui commanded 300,000 troops in the right, and Zhang Liao commanded 300,000 troops in the left.
But given our current situation of being strong while the enemy is weak, there probably aren't many battles to fight.
Now that Yue Fei had decided to annihilate Dong Zhuo's 10,000 cavalrymen at the foot of Beiman Mountain, the three of them hurriedly volunteered to fight.
“The three generals hold important positions; how can they easily charge into battle?” Yue Fei shook his head.
We have plenty of troops, but we lack great generals.
A general who can command 100,000 men is even rarer!
The three looked to Liu Wei for help, hoping he would put in a good word for them.
"If they want to fight, the Grand Commander can use them as he sees fit. This million-strong army is not a permanent force; after the Battle of Luoyang, most of it will be streamlined."
"The streamlined soldiers settled down and cultivated land near Luoyang."
Liu Wei said lightly.
Apart from the 100,000 troops from Hangu Pass and the 50,000 troops who crossed the Yellow River from the north bank, the remaining 800,000 troops were all blank populations that Liu Wei had exchanged.
They all have blue-quality armor and weapons.
Liu Wei spent more than five million gold coins in total.
Liu Wei planned to use these 800,000 people once and then have them settle and cultivate land around Luoyang to increase the population.
As for who would manage the garrison land, Liu Wei already had someone in mind.
However, it is unknown where this person is in Luoyang at this moment.
"Generals, please go back and prepare. We will depart immediately and arrive at the foot of Mount Beiman by noon today."
"At that time, we will ask the three generals to work together to defeat Dong Zhuo's ten thousand cavalry."
Although Liu Wei did not say it directly, Yue Fei already understood his meaning: he must be sending these three generals into battle.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Thank you, Grand Commander!"
......
Right now.
Outside Luoyang, in Dong Zhuo's camp at the foot of Mount Beiman, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, and Wang Fang gathered together.
