Chapter 280: Soldiers Descend on the City
Yuan Chang looked at everyone, and finally concluded: "Judging from the analysis of the military advisor just now, we have two opportunities. The first is that Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shu and Tao Qian in the shortest possible time, and then led his troops to Jizhou to help Yuan Shao. However, we can't put our hopes on others, so we don't need to think about this, the second is to survive Gongsun Zhan's attack, Gongsun Chan must go to Yecheng to join up with the Montenegrin army to flank Yuan Shao, and the time to attack Bohai County will definitely not be long. Strategist, have you calculated how many days Gongsun Chan will attack the city?"
Guo Jia was silent for a moment in his heart, and then said: "It will take ten days to reach Yecheng from Bohai County without a rapid march, and it will take about fifteen days for Yuan Shao to gather the defenders from all over Jizhou. If Gongsun Chan marches in a hurry, he can reach it in seven days, but even if he arrives, he will not be able to fight. With the intelligence of the person behind Gongsun Zhan, he would not choose to march in a hurry. Therefore, his subordinates thought that Gongsun Chan would attack Nanpicheng for five days, and then withdraw his troops to Yecheng to join the Montenegrin army. ”
The walls of Nanpi City are also of a medium level, and if Gongsun Chan attacks day and night regardless of damage, he may be able to take it within five days. However, this is obviously not possible. Gongsun Zhan also had to lead his troops to Yecheng to attack Yuan Shao, and if he couldn't take Nanpi City, he would naturally give up.
"You all heard, we only need to defend for five days, do you have any confidence?"
"Yes!"
"Fuck Gongsun Zhan's girl!"
Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Yuan Chang nodded with satisfaction, it was only five days, and the 20,000 troops in the city of Nanpicheng would definitely be able to hold it. Yuan Chang didn't worry too much, Gongsun Chan only led 50,000 elite soldiers, and it was impossible for them all to be used to attack the city. As for the five thousand [White Horse Righteous Servants], the effect of the siege is not great.
"Strategist, do you know Dong Zhao?"
Guo Jia was stunned, I don't know why Yuan Chang asked this. However, Guo Jia immediately replied: "Dong Zhao has little reputation, he was promoted as filial piety, and he was appointed as the chief of the gall Tao and the county magistrate of Bairen County. Later, Yuan Shao appointed him to join the army, and Wei County was killed in the first battle because of the Taishou, and Dong Zhao was appointed as the Taishou of Wei County. Since Dong Zhao took office, Wei County has been governed by him quite well, which shows his ability. My lord, it could be you..."
Although Guo Jia is lazy, that is just the appearance. In fact, Guo Jia is silently giving, just like the subordinate officials in Jizhou, as well as Guo Jia, the Taishou, the county Cheng, and the chief book-level officials in various counties in Jizhou. Even so, Guo Jia did not slacken, and still worked hard, trying to understand the county commanders, county officials and other officials in the counties under the jurisdiction of each county, and only by understanding the ability of these officials could he give Yuan Chang the best help.
"Fengxiao, don't worry too much about these things, what is the ability of officials in various places, let their superiors understand, otherwise what is the use of them. ”
Yuan Chang naturally knew Guo Jia's dedication, and Yuan Chang had already advised Guo Jia not to work too hard. Guo Jia's health was not good, and later he took many pills, and his health was even worse. Although he listened to Yuan Chang's words and stopped taking the pill, it was still a little worse than a normal person's body. Yuan Chang didn't want Guo Jia to be like the original, but he died of illness before his great cause was accomplished. He wants Guo Jia to accompany him in his footsteps and watch the unification of the world.
"Thank you for your concern, my subordinates know what to do. ”
Guo Jia responded and didn't say much. As for whether he accepted Yuan Chang's reminder, only Guo Jia himself knew.
In the past, Guo Jia originally just wanted to give advice to Yuan Chang at a critical moment, and he wouldn't pay too much attention to other things. However, since following Yuan Chang and watching Yuan Chang's efforts, Guo Jia always felt that he had to do something. Especially once, in the middle of the night, Guo Jia accidentally saw Yuan Chang still thinking about something in the study, and he kept writing and drawing in his hands, as if he was recording something important. At that moment, Guo Jia knew that Yuan Chang, who was usually lazy, actually paid no less than them.
Yuan Chang remembered that the last time he guarded Huguan, Dong Zhao was appointed as the Taishou of Wei County, and Feng Ji was extremely dissatisfied. Yuan Shao's subordinates, whether they are military generals or strategists, are all fighting for power and profit, and it is normal to stab a knife in the back. This time, once something happens to Wei Jun, Dong Zhao will definitely be implicated. For Dong Zhao, Yuan Chang felt that his ability was still good, so Yuan Chang was naturally ready to keep him.
At that moment, Yuan Chang looked at Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow and Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "Ye Gucheng, Blowing Snow, Xiaofeng, it seems that I will trouble you this time." ”
"The lord's words are serious, we are subordinates, and it is within our duty to share the worries of the lord, and I hope that the lord will not do this, and we are ashamed in our hearts. ”
Ye Gucheng's five people are disciples of the Mo family, although they occupy the mountain, they value faith and righteousness the most, since they have identified Yuan Chang as their destined lord, they will naturally spare no effort to do things for him.
"Blowing snow, Xiaofeng, the two of you go to Wei County to help Dong Zhao, do what I told you, just do this, do this, you go to Yecheng, and after the Montenegrin army occupies Yecheng, you disguise yourself as a member of the Montenegrin army, and then find a reason to cripple Yuan Tan's limbs. ”
For Yuan Chang's order, the three of them naturally did not hesitate to carry it out.
As for crippling Yuan Tan, they don't think there's anything to it. At the beginning, Yuan Tan sent killers to Zhen Jiang, that is, to Yuan Chang, according to their ideas, they should directly destroy Yuan Tan, how can they still let him live in the world. However, if he just crippled Yuan Tan's limbs, Yuan Shao might not be too aggressive, after all, there was still a life left. However, if Yuan Tan died, the meaning would be different, and Yuan Shao might be investigated to the end. Although Yuan Chang is not afraid of Yuan Shao, it is best not to conflict with Yuan Shao. Moreover, Yuan Tan has become a cripple, and living may be more painful than dying.
It's no wonder that Yuan Tan actually wanted to hurt Zhen Jiang, which was something that Yuan Chang couldn't tolerate. If Yuan Chang is targeted, Yuan Chang will still feel that Yuan Tan is a man, and he will take revenge if he has revenge, but Yuan Tan is angry with a woman, and Yuan Chang is not a good stubble, so Yuan Tan knows the consequences.
After instructing the three of them, Yuan Chang looked at the others, his eyes flashed, and he said with high morale: "The affairs of Yecheng and Weijun have nothing to do with us in the future, let Yuan Shao worry about it." Next, we will stay in this Nanpi City, and I want to see how Gongsun Chan can capture Nanpi City within five days!"
At noon the next day, more than 100,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were in front, Gongsun Zhan's 50,000 elite soldiers were delayed, and 5,000 [Baima Yicong] disappeared, and slowly moved forward to Nanpi City.
Gongsun Chan rode a white horse surrounded by the guards, walked to the front, and a guard rode a horse to a hundred meters away from Nanpi City, and loudly conveyed Gongsun Zhan's shout to Nanpi City, that is, let Yuan Chang appear, there is something to say!
Yuan Chang was not afraid, and under the escort of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, he walked to the head of Nanpi City and looked at the army under the city.
