Chapter 386: The Youzhou Incident (Part II)
"There is a dark line for us in Changping City, and we can get the news as soon as their soldiers and horses move." Yue Yang said to Lin Huan, "Big brother, let me ask what the children mean." ”
As he spoke, the four old men looked at Guo Jin and the others.
Guo Jin raised his head and said, "Uncles, although we don't fight unprepared battles, but in this world, we are not ready for all the battles, compared with General Anton's mansion, although there are few major generals, but the sergeants are well-trained, and they have the advantage of ordnance and intelligence, I think we can lure the Anton Army to the battlefield we set for a decisive battle!"
I am confident that with firearms, our army will be able to withstand the Anton! ”
Yue Yang and the others looked at Lin Huan, and after thinking for a while, Lin Huan said "It makes sense, send a telegram to Ma Lang to inform us of our thoughts, and then send a telegram to the valley to inquire about the cavalry troops of Captain Xianyu."
Guo Jin, this battle will be all handed over to you to command, and under me, you can call all the personnel and materials of the Red Star Battalion! ”
Guo Jin was overjoyed, and since he came into contact with the musket, he felt that this thing would change the situation of the entire war just like the cavalry back then.
Although there were less than 600 musketeers, Guo Jin was also confident that as long as he was properly deployed, he would definitely be able to return from the hatred of the white horse under the command of Gongsun Zhan.
Soon, Lin Huan and others received a call back from Ma Qiang.
There's only one word for a callback.
Beat!
Lin Huan and the others no longer had any scruples, and they took their own actions at the moment.
Although the main force of the Red Star Battalion has been transferred to the plains and other places, there are still many sergeants left behind, and at this time, there are still more than 2,000 sergeants in the Red Star Battalion, but other farmers and workers can also pick up their blades at any time and act as reserves, plus these people, there are about five or six thousand soldiers who can fight.
These peasant households and workers have undergone military training every year, and although they are not as good as professional soldiers, they are also much stronger than the Yellow Turban Army of that year.
Lin Huan also did not forget Liu Yu, the real master of Youzhou, Liu Yu and Ma Qiang were half allies, Guo Ping went to Jixian County to communicate with Liu Yu about the matter here, and sent Zhang Sheng to Zhang Sheng, so that Zhang Sheng could prepare Quanzhou soldiers and horses, go against the water, guard the Yuyang channel, and prevent Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du from joining forces.
On the other hand, Xian Yufu and others, who were constantly gathering troops and horses to the military capital, also received a telegram from Lin Huan and began to prepare to go out of the customs to participate in the war.
For a time, soldiers and horses were mobilized everywhere in Youzhou, and a big war was about to break out.
- General Anton's Palace
Gongsun Chan sat on a high seat and looked at the generals below.
Gongsun Chan hadn't realized how fast the Red Star Camp was moving at this time, but thought that he could strike first.
Under Gongsun Zhan, it is also a star-studded gathering, and looking at it, there are Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, Wang Men, Wen Ze and others, all of whom are fierce generals who can fight well and dare to fight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are no two heavens, there are no two masters, and there can only be one person in Changping!" Gongsun Zhan shouted loudly, "The Red Star Battalion occupies half of my Changping, forcibly expropriates and extorts violently, making the people miserable, and the people have long been dissatisfied, I am ready to raise troops to attack, what do you think?" ”
Everyone present understood Gongsun Zhan's thoughts, and naturally responded in unison.
At that moment, Gongsun Zhan did his best to get more than 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and 50,000 falsely, leaving Zou Dan to guard Changping, and personally led the soldiers and horses out of Changping County and killed the Red Star Battalion.
In Gongsun Zhan's opinion, dispatching 30,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the total number of people does not know if there are still 30,000 Red Star Battalions, and he is already cautious and can't be more careful.
Riding on the horse, Gongsun Chan even laughed at himself and said to Guan Jing on the side, "You say, am I too careful, such a military formation, even if it is Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid you have to avoid my edge." ”
Guan Jing felt unsteady in his heart, and advised again: "General, as soon as the war starts, my General Anton's Mansion and Nama Plain will be an endless situation, Shanggu Kou Xian, Xian Yufu, Yuyang Zhang Sheng, are all Ma Qiang's former officials, I'm afraid..."
"Will Han Fu let Ma Qiang pass through Bohai County? What's more, Ma Qiang is sweeping Qingzhou, where can he take care of Youzhou! If you continue to wait, it will not be good. "Gongsun Zhan has his own opinion" What's more, if there is a big chaos today, Youzhou has the benefits of salt and iron, and the power of cavalry, which is where it comes in, although Liu Yu is virtuous but does not know soldiers, if I defeat the Red Star Battalion, I can get its money and grain, and then swallow Yuyang in the west, press Zhuo County in the south, and connect with Gongsun Du, when the time comes, is it still difficult to make meritorious contributions? ”
Guan Jing didn't expect Gongsun Chan to have such thoughts, so he stopped talking, only hoping that everything could really be the same as Gongsun Chan thought.
At the same time, Guo Ping also came to Jixian County and met Liu Yu.
Liu Yu has worked hard to run Youzhou over the years, and he has become a lot haggard, Guo Ping greeted him, and saw that Liu Yu still had patches on his clothes, and couldn't help but sigh.
You must know that since the Red Star Camp has become more and more developed, and Yang Wanli is still living an ascetic-like life, Lin Huan and the others have long stopped wearing clothes with patches.
Yang Wanli is like this, also because he has been in charge of the treasury, and he is worried that once he starts to be extravagant, he will guard and steal, so he has been demanding himself in this way.
Corrupt officials are all clean officials, and the later generations of He Shen were also an honest and honest officials when they were young, and any huge corruption also started from small corruption.
"Old Guo, I don't know what you want to see me?"
Liu Yu was also very polite to Guo Ping, he knew Guo Ping's status in the Red Star Camp and even in Ma Qiang's place, so he also followed Ma Qiang to call Guo Ping an old.
Guo Ping arched his hand and said, "The envoy is above, General Anton has increased the tax of my Red Star Camp caravan many times, and we have endured it in order to take care of the overall situation."
But just yesterday, Gongsun Xu, the son of General Anton, actually detained the transport team of our Red Star Battalion, and hundreds of people in our transport team were detained in Changping County.
Before, we had repeatedly negotiated with General Anton's Mansion by letter, but since Gongsun Chan had kept and again, then our Red Star Battalion could only fight back angrily! ”
When Liu Yu heard it, this was going to fight! couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Guo Lao, but wait for me to talk to General Anton about peace and discussion, peace is precious!" ”
Guo Ping shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from you, before I came to Jixian County, I had already received the news that the soldiers and horses in Changping City had gathered, so it can be seen that General Gongsun also wanted to fight, and my Red Star Battalion was also forced to fight back."
In this battle, my Red Star Battalion only fights the Anton Army, and please don't misunderstand that my Red Star Battalion has other bad intentions. ”
Liu Yu sat down, looked at Guo Ping, and asked, "Old Guo, I wonder if Ma Pingyuan can know about this?" ”
Guo Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I already know." ”
That scribe was none other than Jia Xu's teacher, Yan Zhong, who used to advise the emperor and the soldiers!
