Gao Shun arrived at the junction of Wei County and Qinghe on the third day after Cai Ji ordered his troops. 10,000 elite horsemen was not a small number in this era, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of Yuan Jun along the way. Fortunately, the Qi army has the strongest naval division in the north, and the Yellow River is the straight route for the Qi army to transport troops. It is true that it is against the current, and the sailor of Guan Cheng still allows Gao Shunbu to bypass the mountains and forests, passes, and cities, and reach Wei County in the fastest and most convenient way.

Cai Ji's naval division is divided into two major systems according to the combat area, one is the navy fighting at sea, and the warships are mainly sea ships, with only more than 300 ships, but the victory lies in the huge hull and can gallop on the sea. At present, in addition to cruising in the waters of the Bohai Sea, sometimes he also goes south to Soochow as a merchant ship. The second is the naval army fighting on the Yellow River and other inland rivers, and the types of warships are relatively rich, mainly the common warships of the Han Dynasty, such as building boats, fighting ships, hazy chong, and maotu. The number far exceeds that of sea ships, reaching more than 6,000, although it is not as good as the sailors of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but it is enough to be proud of the entire Yellow River Basin. Therefore, the naval army of the Qi army was a major force in the battle of Cai Yuan, and undertook the task of transporting a large number of troops and grain.

However, compared to the large ships of the sea, most of the ships of the navy were narrow, shallow draft, and equipped with oars to allow them to travel through rivers. Assault ships such as the Hazy Rush and the Assault are very small and flexible in appearance, and although they can't hold many soldiers, they are superior to the number of soldiers. And the real overlord in the navy is the "building boat". The building ship is a kind of deck building in this era, which is particularly huge, the height of the ship is wide, and the appearance looks like a building, so it is called the "building ship". Because the ancient water warfare was mainly based on bow and arrow shooting, ship collision and hand-to-hand combat, the size of the ship directly determined the number of sailors and fighters that a single ship could accommodate and the impact force of the ship, so the building ship served as the main ship of water warfare in this era. In terms of size and combat effectiveness, the building ship is not inferior to the sea ship. It's a pity that because the ships are too tall and the center of gravity is unstable, they mostly serve as the main force in inland water warfare. In addition, although the building ship of the Qi army is only three floors. However, in terms of cost, it is still higher than that of sea ships, so the Qi Army Navy currently has less than 100 building ships.

For the sake of convenience for future supplies, the Qi Army's naval division did not completely leave after landing in Gaoshun. Instead, a part of the warships were left behind, and with the cooperation of Gao Shun, a simple water village was built on this remote tidal flat. But I saw that there were more than 100 large and small warships gathered on the wide river. Some of them are moored in the harbor, while others spread their white sails like giant waterfowl spreading their wings on the Yellow River, attracting children from nearby villages to come and watch every day. At this time, the sailors in the water village often throw some dried fruits to these uninvited little guests. in order to show goodwill to the people in the vicinity. This trick can be described as a hundred tried-and-true tricks, and Tong Guò Tong Qi Jun has a good relationship with the surrounding people very smoothly. As a result, many people were recruited to help repair the water village.

This style of Qi Jun was very unusual in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty. It must be known that no matter how much the princes everywhere help themselves, they love their names like sons. In practice, the people will still be regarded as a mustard. If the same thing happened to other princes, most of the people around Shuizhai would suffer. Even if the military rations are not forcibly conscripted, the men in each village and village will inevitably be forcibly recruited. According to rumors, Cao Cao forcibly conscripted the people and beheaded the people who escaped according to military law. Later, one day Cao Cao happened to meet a runaway man, who begged Cao Cao to let him live. It is said that Cao Cao really sympathized with him. left a few tears, saying that he couldn't break the military law, and this time he would treat it as if he didn't see anything, and let the man run quickly. The man kowtowed to Cao Cao a few times and turned around and fled, but he did not escape the pursuit of Cao Jun in the end, and was captured back to the barracks and beheaded.

After Cai Ji heard this story, he was quite disdainful of Cao Cao's mentality of maintaining the Legalist style and wanting to buy the hearts of the people. In her opinion, emotional investment buys people's hearts or something, or it is still necessary to stream a long stream, send a few handfuls of dried fruits, and help others pick a few loads of water. It's better than making up that kind of tragic story. As for forcing people to work without pay, and cutting off their heads if they run away, it is even more unreasonable. Therefore, wherever the Qi army went, they not only strictly implemented the principle of being close to the people issued by the Lord, but also provided food for the recruited people. In this way, the Qi army not only does not need to force the strong Ding. Often, there are also many women and children who want to mix in and work, in search of two meals a day.

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, a team of horses dressed as bandits galloped across the newly rammed embankment, attracting several people working in the water village to look up curiously. These people didn't know that this team of people and horses running in front of them was the "Taihang Black Mountain" that could stop children crying at night in Wei County. In fact, the soldiers and horses of Koji Yan have never been to this area, let alone disturb the villagers.

In front of the gate of Gao Shunbu, Koji Yan pulled the reins and turned over and dismounted, and reported his name to the small school guarding the door, "Taihang Koji Yan asks to see." ”

After hearing the news, the school turned around and ran into the camp, and soon walked out with a man in Tsing Yi in his thirties. As soon as the man saw Koji Yan, he stepped forward with a smile and greeted him, "In Xiahou Mansion, Peng belongs to Xinbi, and Gongzi is the general of Taihang Mountain?" ”

"It's Koji." Koji Yan clasped his fists and saluted back.

"General Gao is waiting for the prince in the big tent of the Chinese army, please come with him." Xin Bi made a gesture of invitation to Koji.

Lu Yan casually threw the horsewhip in his hand to his subordinates behind him, and then followed Xin Bi into the Gaoshun camp. Although it was only a temporary camp, Gao Shun's camp was very neatly arranged, and the soldiers in the camp performed their duties and did not stop to watch because of the appearance of the koji performance. Koji performed in a family of military generals in Liangzhou, and for such a military appearance, he had only one evaluation in his heart: "The general of this battalion has the style of Zhou Yafu." ”

Gao Shun didn't know that Koji Yan compared him to Zhou Yafu, and at this time he was carefully studying the map of Wei County. In fact, in addition to hating Cao Cao, Gao Shunwei has always been brave and calm, and does not fight uncertain battles. When he was still under Lu Bu, he often advised Lu Bu, "Act with wisdom and prudence." It's a pity that calmness is not Lu Bu's style, so what Gao Shun said was also in vain. On the contrary, he was often sent on unreliable missions. But even so, Gao Shun still uses his own strength to strive to be invincible and invincible. In contrast, Cai Ji gave Gao Shun much more autonomy than Lu Bu. Just like the Wei County Raiders this time, Cai Ji was given full authority to Gao Shun to command.

"General, Koji Gongzi has arrived."

Gao Shun turned around and saw that Xin Bi had walked into the big tent with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. As soon as the young man saw Gao Shun, he stepped forward and saluted him with a fist, "Koji Yan has seen General Gao." ”

Although the young age of the leader of Taihang Black Mountain was somewhat unexpected by Gao Shun, there was Cai Ji, who was an eighteen-year-old Qi Marquis, and this jewel was in front. Even if a younger general or Taishou pops up now, Gao Shun will not be surprised. So after looking up and down at the young man in front of him, Gao Shun got straight to the point with a sincere tone. "Ling Zun has heard of Shun's encounter. If Gongzi can help Shun find a place where Yuan Shao's military rations are located, he will definitely be able to avenge Ling Zun this time. ”

The purpose of Koji Yan doing so many things is to avenge his father, so Gao Shun's straightforwardness is exactly what he wants. But I saw him walking to the cowhide map. Stretching out his hand and gesturing on it, "The fourth year of Jian'an is in the autumn and September." Yuan Shao transported grain from Yecheng to Liyang. In October, from Fanyang to Liyang. In Layue, the Yellow River was closed, and the Yuan army directly transported grain from Neihuang to Baima. In the spring and February of the fifth year of Jian'an, grain was transported from Yin'an to Baima. ”

As Koji's hand swiped over and over again on the map, eventually all the routes were staggered at one point. Seeing this, Gao Shun couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and blurted out his debut. "Gongyang Gathering!"

"It's the Yang Ju." Koji's finger slammed into the tiny dot on the map, barely visible. "Ju" is a walled city that is one level smaller than the city, but the scale is larger than the village, which is equivalent to the town of this era. Gongyangju is located in the territory of Huang County in Wei County, and is the only way to connect Yecheng and Guandu. After more than a year of harassment, Koji Yan gradually figured out the law of Yuan Shaojun's grain transportation, and finally judged that the place where he stored military food was in this small Gongyang Ju.

"Childe is sure?" Gao Shun asked sideways.

"At least the military rations will be temporarily stored in Gongyang before they are transferred to Liyang. Most of Yuan Shao's grain and grass are still stored in Yecheng and Liyang City. At this point, Koji moved his finger to Liyang's position and said, "If the general has the technique of landslide and earth cracking, he can take Liyang City." ”

Nazhi Gao Shun shook his head on the spot and said frankly, "Shun doesn't know the technique of landslide and earth cracking. ”

"Isn't the technique of landslide and earth cracking Qi Hou's trick?" Koji plays a strange way. Lu Yan, who had participated in the Battle of Yijing, knew that it was Cai Ji's landslide and ground cracking technique that he presented to Yuan Shao that took down the strong Yijing City in one fell swoop. He still remembers the thunderous roar. and the feeling of the earth trembling under your feet. Koji Yan believed that as long as he had this kind of immortal art, any city would be self-defeating, including Liyang City, which had been breached once by the landslide and earth splitting technique. But Gao Shun's appearance didn't look like he was lying.

No, in the face of the question of the koji performance, Gao Shun stated again. "Qi Hou really didn't teach Shun the art of landslide and earth cracking."

Xin Bi on the side saw Lu Yan with a suspicious look on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round field, "The technique of landslide and earth cracking is the secret technique of demon Dao Yuji, and Qi Hou will not do it." However, Xin has some friendship with Liyang Ling Xianrong. ”

"Can Xin Junshi convince Xianrong to sacrifice the city?" Gao Shun's eyes lit up. During this period of time, Gao Shun saw through the orders of the counties and counties to surrender and sacrifice the city, and when he heard Xin Bi say this, he naturally thought about it again.

It's a pity that what I got was Xin Bi's bitter reply, "Although Xin has a three-inch tongue, he can't say that he can't move the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Jiang Yiqu's camp in the north of Liyang City. ”

Hearing Xin Bi mention Jiang Yiqu, his expression couldn't help but change slightly. Although Yuan Shao was the mastermind of the murder of Liyi, the person who did it back then was Jiang Yiqu. In Liyan's opinion, if he can kill Jiang Yiqu, he can take half of the revenge. It's just that Jiang Yiqu, as a general of Yuan Shao, has a heavy army, and he can't get close to the little people in Taihang Mountain with his koji performance. If Gao Shun decides to attack Liyang at this moment, then his chance to take revenge will really come. Thinking of this, Koji Yan couldn't help but cast an expectant glance at Gao Shun.

However, when Gao Shun heard Xin Bi say this, he realized that what he had just said was indeed difficult for a strong man. Wei County is different from other counties in Jizhou, this can be called Yuan Shao's old nest, all important cities are guarded by henchmen, Liyang City is stationed in Jiang Yiqu Department, Yiyang is stationed in Han Fan Department, and Shechang is stationed in Liang Qi Department. As for Yecheng, there are layers of heavy troops stationed around it, and the defense is commanded by the judge. Dramas such as flying and surrendering are not easy to stage. Otherwise, Gao Shun would not have cautiously stationed his soldiers and horses in the border area of the Yuqing River in Wei County, waiting for the head snake to lead the way.

In fact, this situation is not unique to Yuan Shao's family. Due to the limited number of troops, when the princes went out to fight, they often concentrated their forces in the core area where they started, and the defense of the rest of the region was often very lax. Just as at the beginning of Yuan Shao's army to the south last year, the cities under Cao Cao were turned against each other in patches. It looked as if Cao Cao was finished. But when Yuan Shao approached Xu Du, it was difficult to go further. Similarly, if someone can bypass Cai Ji's main force at this time and go deep into the hinterland of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, there will also be a large number of cities looking to the wind. However, the sneak attackers will eventually stop at Dongrae, because Dongrae is where Cai Ji's roots lie. Yuan Shao's foundation is in Yecheng, and the scope of his heavy defense can be close to a county, which is already a great thing now. It must be known that Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou in the year, and tried Cao Cao, who claimed to be sitting on Yu and Yanzhou, in one fell swoop, and there were only three cities that could really be heavily defended. Not to mention Liu Bei, who is an empty shell, was immediately beaten back to the prototype without Xiapi.

Therefore, the war between Cai Ji and Yuan Shao can be said to have entered a real state of death until this time. The next series of battles is the battle that really decides the winner. If Cai Ji wins, the territory he seized before can be consolidated. If Cai Ji is defeated, those wall grasses will also blow the wind and pour people to that side. In this regard, Cao Cao's good slaughter of the city was not simply out of a thirst for killing, at least the threat of slaughtering the city could make people who "surrendered" again and again think about the consequences of rebellion.

And just when Gao Shun was about to put aside the attack on Liyang, Xin Bi said to him again, "General, Liyang City is difficult to attack, and it is easy to attack Gongyang." The Lord ordered us to attack Wei County and bring Yuan Shao back for help, not to let us attack the city in Wei County. Bi thought that the general led his troops to attack Gongyangju, and sent a naval division to attack Baima Port. The sound of attacking the east and the west will definitely be able to disrupt the Wei County position and force Yuan Shao into the trap. ”

Xinbi's words relieved Gao Shun's troubles. Determining the combat goal is far more important than determining the tactics, since he has made up his mind to make a big fuss in Wei County, then Gao Shun has nothing to worry about, with the 10,000 elite horsemen who will be under it, Gao Shun has enough confidence to let Yuan Shao's subordinates follow behind the ass and eat ashes. In addition, Xinbi also broadened Gao Shun's horizons, as a military general from the interior of Bingzhou, Gao Shun was more likely to use the water division as a tool to transport troops and food, and rarely considered using the water division to fight. Xin Bi reminded Gao Shun that the Qi army's sailors could attack any wharf along the lower reaches of the Yellow River. This is probably a far better blow to Yuan Shao than the siege of Liyang.

Gao Shun, who had opened up his thinking, immediately decided, "Mr. is reasonable!" Come on, quickly invite the general of the water division to enter the camp. ”
