Chapter 24 10. Zhuge Liang preemptively registered Dong Zhuo's patent

Sun Tzu said: "Ten rules surround them." It means that when fighting, if your troops are ten times stronger than the enemy, then surround them and completely annihilate them. You are welcome. But if Dong Zhuo was in a situation like this and was besieged by a superior force ten times his own, what would he do? Dong Zhuo said: "It doesn't matter, my main force will arrive soon..." Sure enough, the next day, he saw dust rising from afar, and another fierce-looking Qiang soldier arrived and entered the city. After that, they set up camp at Dong Zhuo's residence, and Dong Zhuo's number of troops suddenly doubled.

A few days later, another equally ferocious Qiang army arrived. Dong Zhuo's men were even stronger, and they were already indistinctly comparable to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's forces. Seeing that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were getting more and more, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao brothers stood at the gate of the city blankly, their faces were ashen, their hearts were like wood and stone, completely helpless. At this time, Captain Bao Xin came and said to Yuan Shao: "Little Yuan, hurry up, hurry up and attack Dong Zhuo before all his troops arrive, maybe... maybe you can defeat him."

Yuan Shao shook his head: "Old Bao, do you want me to die?" Dong Zhuo's generals were killed on the iron-blooded battlefield, and they fought like lunatics, and they didn't want their lives.The soldiers under Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's command were veteran soldiers raised in the capital, who were as fierce as lions and tigers in front of the common people, but they were as docile as lambs when they met Dong Zhuo's dead soldiers in hundreds of battles.If the two sides really fight... don't think about it, it's too late, right? The Yuan brothers were only afraid, but they didn't pay attention to carefully look at Dong Zhuo's follow-up Qiang soldiers.If the two brothers stared at the faces of the following Qiang soldiers and took a closer look, they would find a very strange thing.

The vicious Qiang soldiers who came one after another looked the same as the three thousand soldiers Dong Zhuo had brought with him at first. It's okay to look the same, right?We are all Qiang soldiers, and they should look a little similar. It's too bad, the poor Yuan brothers, this pair of live treasures, were played badly by Dong Zhuo.In fact, the Qiang soldiers who came one after another were the same group of people that Dong Zhuo had brought with him at first. It turned out that Dong Zhuo found that his number of troops was too small to be useful, so after setting up camp, he secretly sent orders to make these soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary people and sneak out of the city.When they arrived at a deserted place outside the city, they exchanged the armor of the Qiang soldiers, pretending to be follow-up troops, in order to frighten the officials in the court.

Just those three thousand Qiang soldiers slipped out of the city gate every day, and then came back with a big banner, which made Dong Zhuo's side extremely lively and frightened the Yuan brothers' faces.After all, he was a veteran of hundreds of battles, Dong Zhuo skillfully manipulated the officials of the capital with his tricks of suspicion. Dong Zhuo's ingenious strategy was called Zhuge Wuhou's art of war by later generations... It was obviously Dong Zhuo's patent, but if it had to be counted on the immature Zhuge Liang, Dong Zhuo had no place to reason. In short, Dong Zhuo's actions not only frightened the Yuan brothers, but even Cao Cao, the hero of the world, was frightened into a fool. He was so frightened that he got into the house and closed the door tightly, not daring to come out.

It's fine if you don't dare to come out. If Cao Cao doesn't come out, Dong Zhuo just has his hands free to deal with those who get in the way. Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on Ding Yuan, who was in charge of the military power in the capital. Zhijinwu is originally a weapon, a copper rod with gold powder on both ends, which looks majestic and majestic, symbolizing royal authority.The official name Zhijinwu means the commander of Gyeonggi Weiwu. Ding Yuan, the commander of Wei Wu, is nothing special, but he has a general who can fight: Lu Bu!
