Chapter 213 Xu Yu Planning, Montenegrin Countermeasures
With the actions of Xu You and others, the people around Zhongshan couldn't help but look forward to it, after all, Zhongshan's army began to act.
Although the soldiers were sometimes more greedy than the bandits, now they were targeting the equally murderous and greedy bandits, which was enough to make the people happy.
After this encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that for a long time, those bandits and soldiers will not come to disturb themselves, I have to say that this seems very ridiculous, but this is indeed a tragedy of troubled times.
"Strategist, what should we do, after all, Zhongshan is already a little close to some mountain ranges in Taihang, and there are many bandits, how should we act?"
Guo Yuqiong rode on the horse and said curiously to Xu Yu beside him.
"General Guo, it seems that you know the surrounding area of Zhongshan very well!" Xu You smiled slightly after hearing Guo Yuqiong's words.
"Guo Zhen guards Zhongshan, so he knows a lot about the bandits around Zhongshan." Guo Yuqiong said proudly, in fact, the two are similar in personality, they both have their own things and are very persistent.
"Then General Guo, what do you think I should do?" Xu You asked curiously, he still liked Guo Yuqiong very much.
"I think since the lord wants us to deal with those bandits, then we should go directly to those bandits, after all, the surrounding mountains and forests are too complicated, we must fight quickly, otherwise we will easily fall into Jiaozuo." Guo Yuqiong is also worthy of being a general on the battlefield, and he still has a very say in these aspects.
"General Guo's words are also wrong, if we directly attack those large bandits, although we will win, but we will also suffer heavy losses, we can't lose too many soldiers now!" Xu You said slowly.
"What do you mean, Strategist?" Guo Yuqiong was slightly stunned after hearing Xu You's words, and asked curiously.
"We should start with weak bandits and slowly hone our recruits!" Xu You said slowly, with a little bit of essence in his eyes.
"Does the advisor mean that we should divide the troops? But then we can easily be defeated by each one! Guo Yuqiong said in surprise after hearing Xu You's words, he didn't believe in the way of marching, and these military advisors were not as good as him.
"Who said I was going to divide my troops! Did you talk about training recruits? Xu You said with a smile.
"But some of those weak three thieves are less than a hundred, and there are thousands of people behind us! Can this really serve as a training officer? Guo Yuqiong said very skeptically after hearing Xu You's words, other people's training of recruits is a tempering of blood and death, but when you come to Xu You, it seems to be crushed like a group fight, which makes Guo Yuqiong feel very unreal in her heart.
"Why not, isn't training just to see blood? Now that I can make the soldiers see blood without any danger, why not do it? Besides, I don't want to see so many bandits around Zhongshan again in the near future! Xu You covered his mouth with a feather fan and said slowly.
"Alright! In that case, I will do what the military advisor says! Guo Yuqiong saw that Xu Yu was so resolute, and he didn't say anything, after all, even if it didn't work at that time, he could keep enough soldiers to act in his own way, no matter how he thought about it, he wouldn't feel a loss, the only thing that wasn't beautiful was to spend more time.
Soon, with the decision of the two, the soldiers of Zhongshan acted quickly, and Xu Yu began his devouring journey like a greedy snake.
With the passage of time, the bandits around Zhongshan have also decreased rapidly, and those who have not been encircled and suppressed have also begun to migrate, and they have moved towards Taihang Mountain, and now only the Black Mountain Army of Taihang Mountain can stop this crazy move in Jizhou.
As for the people who caused this accident, Xi Zhicai and Lu Bu, they stayed in their own acres and three lands without moving, and lived a simple life, anyway, there were still a lot of grain and grass that Lu Bu had looted from the surrounding cottages in the camp, as well as Jizhou materials that he couldn't grab, which was enough for Lu Bu and them to live for half a year.
But for the peace and tranquility of Lu Bu's side, Taihang Mountain can be said to have exploded, as the largest bandit leader in Jizhou, Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, can be said to be worried, yes, it is Zhang Niujiao who wanted to seize power in the Battle of the Yellow Turban but escaped with his life.
Since Zhang Niujiao fled to Taihang Mountain, he began to recruit a lot of gold remnants and a large number of bandits, and later designed to kill Zhang Baiqi and integrate his subordinates, resulting in the Montenegrin army once again regaining the glory of history, with a population of 100,000.
At this time, Zhang Niujiao couldn't help frowning when he heard the report of his subordinates, after all, Zhongshan's movement was not small, if he didn't think about how to deal with it early, it would be easy to surround himself in Taihang Mountain and not be able to move.
"Handsome! That Yuan Shao's ambition is really not small, he just came to power and wanted to come to clear our Black Mountain Army, if it goes on for a long time, we are very likely to die on this Taihang Mountain! Zhang Niujiao's general Gui Gu said loudly after hearing the soldier's report, and his face was even more boundless murderous.
"But this Yuan Shao has found a good excuse, I heard that it was our men who robbed one of their grain teams! So take the opportunity to attack us! A middle-aged evil man said slowly, with a lot of disdain in his words.
"Speaking of which, do we really have subordinates who went to rob him Yuan Shao's grain transportation team?" Zhang Niujiao sat on the main seat and asked, he had already expected Yuan Shao's war, after all, there was no room for two equal kings in Jizhou, even if one black and one white.
"No, I have already checked in the army, and no one has gone to rob Yuan Shao's army, presumably it is an excuse that Yuan Shao deliberately put down in order to send troops to destroy us!" The evil middle-aged man, that is, Yu Poison, sneered and said, for Yuan Shao's actions in his opinion, it is normal, whether that team exists or not is a question mark, and that Jingguan is now without a trace, what this Jingguan is made of is still a question.
"Do you think it was done by some bandits we didn't recruit!" Zhang Niujiao said again, he didn't think it was groundless about this matter, and he was even faintly worried that this grain transportation team was real, and the Jingguan was also true, but the person who did it was not himself and Yuan Shao, but a third person hidden in the dark.
"According to our informant report, most of the deaths of the group of grain carriers were killed by arrows, and there are a large number of arrow holes on each corpse, if it weren't for thousands of archers shooting two rounds in a row, it would have done a good job at all!" Zhang Niujiao's other award, Bai Rao, also stood up and said that they were also very concerned about the death of Yuan Shao's troops, after all, it was related to the balance between the two, and they couldn't be sloppy at all.
"Don't look at it, Dashuai, if you want me to say that the so-called grain army is replaced by the corpses of those condemned prisoners, and the Jingguan is also cast by the heads of those condemned prisoners, the purpose of which is to take the opportunity to attack us, and to allow those families in Jizhou to unite to provide supplies and weapons." Yu Poison said confidently, in his opinion, these are all leftovers for his own play, and if he is Jizhou Mu, he can make more careful excuses.
"But I don't know why I always have some things in my heart, as if someone is secretly staring at me." Zhang Niujiao pursed his lips and said slowly, although these sound very incredible and undignified, but Zhang Niujiao didn't dare to hold it in his heart, he was afraid of suffocating himself.
"Dashuai, you are too worried, it must be a hallucination caused by recent physical discomfort!" At this time, Yang Feng, the second-in-command of the Montenegrin Army, spoke out to comfort, but in fact, he sneered incomparably in his heart, he couldn't imagine that as the marshal of the Montenegrin Army, he would be so timid, if it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he would even want to laugh out loud.
"Maybe it's my hallucination!" Zhang Niujiao couldn't help but shake his head after hearing Yang Feng's words, but his heart was really a lot more stable, after all, Zhang Niujiao himself didn't believe that it would take more than a thousand archers to shoot two rounds of salvos, if Yuan Shao didn't know, it would be fine, but as the lord of darkness in Jizhou, he was still very confident that he could find out the troops lurking in one by one.
"Dashuai, now the Jizhou army is killing our subordinates everywhere, and now we still have to pay attention to this army in Jizhou~!" Yang Feng was not ready to talk nonsense with Zhang Niujiao anymore, so he directly changed the topic and said.
"Also, we're going to have to get rid of this team first." Zhang Niujiao nodded slowly, and his face began to become very serious. "Yu Poison, can you find out about that unit?"
"The general of the army is Guo Yuqiong under Yuan Shao, his force is no longer equal to General Yang, his military advisor is Xu You, it is said that this person is very greedy for money, but he is very loyal to Yuan Shao, there is almost no possibility of buying, and those soldiers in their hands are also recruits who have just been disrupted and recruited." Yu Poison said slowly.
"Well, guys, what do you think is going to be done, and how are we going to act?" Zhang Niujiao nodded slightly after hearing Yu Poison's words, and then asked everyone present.
"Dashuai, since the Jizhou troops are recruits, it makes sense that most of the people they are encircling and suppressing are small bandits, since this is the case, my subordinates implore the marshal to send troops quickly and not let the recruits in Jizhou transform into veterans, otherwise it will be difficult for us to resist!" Gui Gu arched his hand and said.
Zhang Niujiao couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing this, "Okay, do you have any other opinions?" ”
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads and remained silent, "In that case, then we will set off to meet the Jizhou army!" ”
