Year 190.
January of the first year of Chuping.
East of Luoyang is the Water Pass.
Spring had not yet begun, and the cold wind was blowing at the water pass, and the winter was strong.
Cavalry Lieutenant Dong Cheng led 50,000 cavalry and infantry troops to guard this place with Hua Xiong, Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen.
"I heard that those rebels claim to have an army of 500,000. Can we really defend Mushui Pass with this little army?”
"Don't even think about it. We're here to be cannon fodder, to buy time for the Prime Minister to gather the army. The enemy is ten times stronger than me, how can I defend it!”
"I heard that Commandant Dong used to be a weak Confucian scholar.”
"Shh, do you want to die? Commandant Dong was the Prime Minister's nephew. Wasn't he afraid of losing his head if he dared to criticize him like this?”
"I only hope that those traitors won't attack before the Prime Minister finishes mobilizing the army!”
The morale of the army in Mishui Pass was in panic.
The 18 vassals in the east of the country had a 500,000 strong army that stretched for hundreds of miles.
Mushui Pass only had 50,000 cavalry and cavalry troops. In addition, the valiant cavalry lieutenant, Dong Cheng, who was stationed at Mushui Pass, was not a famous brave general. This made the soldiers of Mushui Pass feel that their chances of survival were slim.
Morale was low, and despair filled the entire Mushui Pass.
Dong Cheng stood on the city wall and listened to the report of the deputy general, Wen Cheng. Recently, a trace of bitterness also appeared in his heart.
He was a transmigrator!
He was born in the Dong Clan of Liang Province, and he was the uncle and nephew of Dong Zhuo, the current Prime Minister of Han Dynasty.
Because of this relationship, Dong Cheng would not have become a refugee at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, because of this relationship, Dong Cheng was promoted to the rank of a valiant cavalry lieutenant and was stationed at Mushui Pass!
Compared to a general with a foreign surname, Dong Zhuo trusted his nephew Dong Cheng more at this critical moment.
As for whether Dong Cheng had experience in leading troops, that was not important!
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, Hua Xiong was a brave general, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen were good at fighting, and Li Su was also quite resourceful.
Dong Cheng had come to Mushui Pass to guard the pass in name, but in fact, Dong Zhuo had given his nephew a chance to be promoted to a higher position. This was to prevent the soldiers under his command from being dissatisfied and the few gossipy ministers in the court from opposing him.
"Although Hwa Xiong is valiant, he can only charge forward and not defend a single area.”
"Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen are good at fighting, and Li Su is quite resourceful. I just want to laugh.”
Dong Cheng secretly shook his head.
Among the four, only Hwa Xiong had some ability.
After all, he had killed Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Bao Xin, the governor of North, Zu Mao, the brave general under Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, Yu She, the brave general under Yuan Shu, and Pan Feng, the general under Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.
And Hu Zhen was stabbed to death by Cheng Pu in just a few rounds.
As for Li Su, he had only managed to convince Lu Bu to surrender, and he had contributed a little.
Strategy?
Using this word to describe Li Su, wasn't that humiliating the word strategy?
Although Mushui Pass had the geographical advantage and the Guan Dong alliance army had Yuan Shu, who stole the credit, Sun Jian's battle strength was reduced.
However…
So what if they temporarily defended it?
As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Cheng knew that after this battle, Dong Zhuo's power would gradually withdraw from the stage of fighting for the world!
When the nest is overturned, there are no intact eggs.
Once Dong Zhuo died, Dong Cheng would also die!
As Dong Zhuo's nephew, Dong Cheng was destined to be irreconcilable with the anti-Dong faction!
It wasn't that Dong Cheng hadn't thought of changing.
However, a person's words were not important. Even Dong Zhuo's nephew could not easily change Dong Zhuo's character!
Dong Cheng agreed to come to Mushui Pass because he wanted to take the opportunity to control a portion of the troops.
After all.
In a chaotic world, any identity was illusory.
Even the Son of Heaven would become a puppet.
If he wanted to live, he had to have the capital to fight for the world.
The winner was king, and the loser was a bandit. It was a simple and simple principle!
"As a transmigrator, wouldn't it be very embarrassing if he was killed by Wang Yun?”
Dong Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart.
It wasn't that easy to take charge of an army.
He had only been in office for a few days, but the morale of the army at Mushui Pass was already in a state of panic.
If they couldn't stabilize the morale of the army, they wouldn't even be able to defeat Sun Jian, let alone take command of the army!
The commander of the cavalry stationed at Mushui Pass had changed from Hua Xiong to Dong Cheng. There were already subtle changes in the future!
He felt a little unwilling.
"Ding! Detected that your 300 shieldmen have turned into soldiers of the Breaking Formation Camp due to their fear of death. Please go to the Shieldmen Camp to choose!”
At this moment.
A row of golden words appeared in front of Dong Cheng's eyes, and a sense of joy arose spontaneously.
"Goldfinger?"
However…
No matter how Dong Cheng probed.
However, the golden finger that he had imagined did not appear.
"An illusion?"
Dong Cheng was somewhat puzzled.
If it was an illusion, the golden words could be turned on and off.
If it was a cheat, how could there be such a simple cheat?
There was only a row of text notifications and nothing else!
Even the soldiers of the Breaking Ranks had to be selected individually?
"Although it is a little strange."
"But at least there's a chance of survival. Whether it's real or fake, we'll know when we go to the Shield Battalion!”
Breaking Ranks soldiers!
Those were soldiers of the Breaking Ranks Camp!
If this was not an illusion, then Dong Cheng would have the capital to establish himself in Mushui Pass!
