Chapter 329: Yuan Tan's Means
Soon, the Xinxi Liang army, which was moderately numerous, was assembled.
40,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 engineering, logistics, and medical soldiers gathered in the eastern part of Taiyuan County, ready to let Yuan Shaojun see the growth of these years.
Su Ze received Tong Yuan's order to go to Hetao to continue the previous development, and to ensure the security of the region with the military Sima Lu Jian. Wei Qi and Du Ji were in charge of Hedong County, ensuring logistics and materials, and supporting Huang Yu's troops to keep an eye on Cao Cao's movements.
Since Tong Yuan has been operating the southern part of Taiyuan County for five years, the eastern part of Taiyuan County, under the development of Jia Kui, Sun Zi and others, has already had a slight reserve on the basis of self-sufficiency, and the local grain that can be directly supplied is enough for 200,000 stones.
With the efforts of Juntun and Mintun for many years, the roads connecting various places and the shipping of Fenshui have long been completed, and 600,000 stones have been easily transported.
Xihe County and the Southern Xiongnu brought 100,000 sheep and 5,000 cattle as supplies, in addition to 10,000 horses and donkeys to carry armor tools, which could greatly save manpower.
Tong Yuan convened a combat meeting again, and the first stage was based on the previous deployment, which was still the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.
In the second stage, depending on the situation, part of the enemy's main force will be annihilated at Shangdang in the south or Yanmen in the north.
Among the two local choices, Tong Yuan leaned towards the party. The main reason is that Yuan Tan is much more immature than Yuan Shao, and the logistics and surrounding situation are also more conducive to encirclement and annihilation.
What's more, he doesn't have the strength to swallow Yuan Shao for the time being, and if he hurts Yuan Tan, he may be able to control Daijun and other places in the north in turn.
This can be regarded as an alternative version of the sound of the East and West.
Zhang Yang was in a much better mood after he switched from Hanoi to join the party, and in the past, he was under too much pressure from all forces.
Now, he has completely become a vassal of Yuan Shao. The pot behind him is guarded by Yuan Shao's important ministers, and he is not needed to ensure safety.
As long as Yuan Shao pacifies Gongsun Zhan, this state will eventually become the front line of the war, and when the time comes, he may have to act as Yuan Shao's pawn to fight against the terrifying Tong Yuan.
These things bothered him too much, but one thing he was sure of was to win support for Lu Bu.
LΓΌ Bu and Zhang Yang are almost brothers-like friendship, some time ago, Cao Cao fiercely attacked LΓΌ Bu, he had the heart of death, planning to betray Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's alliance, counterattack Cao Cao's control of Hanoi County.
Fortunately, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others were powerful enough, and the imperial court also intervened in time, allowing his good brother Lu Bu to survive the catastrophe that did not survive in history.
When Zhang Yang was sighing, the scout hurried over.
"Report! Taiyuan, the Taiyuan army goes south! Tong Yuan's army of 50,000 is coming towards us! β
Zhang Yang listened to the scout's urgent report and was not shocked.
This Tong Yuan had already played a game of encircling Wei to save Zhao last time, and this time Yuan Benchu was going to destroy Gongsun Zhan, Tong Yuan wanted to rescue, and he must have hit him again.
There's no way, hurry up and ask Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan for help.
As long as Yuan Shao still wants to keep the last stronghold in Taihang Mountain, wants to make Jizhou in the plain area have a barrier, and wants to fight for the state through the Shangdang, he will be saved no matter what.
Yuan Tan, who was sitting in Jizhou, couldn't help frowning when he received Zhang Yang's request for help.
Zhang Yang means that Tong Yuan is powerful, after he recovered Hetao and Yanmen, and forced to land in Taiyuan, only Shangdang County was not in his hands. This time, Tong Yuan raised 50,000 troops, I am afraid it is inevitable.
The trial also analyzed that if Tong Yi occupies the upper party, he can condescendingly invade Yecheng in the east and Hanoi in the south, and the Montenegrin army will also be safe on three sides, and can attack and harass the lord with all his heart.
Such opponents are much more terrible than a disabled Gongsun Zhan, please send troops as soon as possible, do not seek to annihilate the enemy, just hope to hold the party and force Tong Yuan to retreat.
Yuan Tan knew that while Zhang Yang and Xian sent people to his side, they must also send people to Yuan Shao's side.
However, he was eager to try and wanted to prove himself again after Qingzhou and completely win the position of the son of the world.
Because their family came from the famous Runan Yuan clan, they were slightly estranged from the local Hebei Shi clan after entering Jizhou.
In addition, he was anticlimactic in Qingzhou, created a large piece of land, won the pot pulp, but did not govern it, indulged in the looting of soldiers, and made the heavens angry and resentful.
Due to the persuasion of Fu Zhu and others, and the military pressure on the west side of Yuan Shao was greater than that of the same period in history.
Therefore, Yuan Tan, who was good at fighting, was transferred back to Yecheng, and Yuan Xi, who was relatively generous, and his nephew, who was quite talented, were transferred back to Yecheng, and let the more generous Yuan Xi and his talented nephew Gao Gan develop Beihai, Pingyuan and other counties respectively.
Yuan Tan was very angry about this, on the one hand, he stepped up his gang to suppress the Hebei Shi clan, and on the other hand, he reorganized his army and wanted to create another great cause.
At present, he has a first glimpse of the Yuan family's family and understands the tricks of power and checks and balances. Therefore, he has a very close relationship with Yingchuan Guotu and Xin Ping, who are also from Henan, as well as the scholars and Haoqiang in the Qingzhou region he conquered.
Since that Tong Yuan was sent to the door, it is no wonder that he opened the knife with this thief.
He wrote hard, deliberately exaggerating Zhang Yang's weakness, and described the caution of the trial as timid and fearful. Let his close confidant scribe Hua Yan help him polish the text, and let the eloquent scribe Kong Shun personally report the situation to Yuan Shao and express Yuan Tan's decision.
After Yuan Shao heard about it, he was so anxious in private that he was restless, and he was eager to withdraw the army. But in front of everyone, he put up a confident look and listened to the opinions of his subordinates.
Kong Shun talked eloquently, jokingly about how Zhang Yang cowered in the city, heard Tong Yi's name and was silent, and dug countless tunnels, and as soon as the enemy army arrived, he absconded with the money.
And the judge is in the south, with an army of 10,000, but he has no intention of supporting.
If this continues, the Dong thief boy will definitely completely occupy the state and attack our army at will.
Yuan Shao was so angry that he patted the case, and said angrily, "The Black Mountain group and the white horse reckless men are not to be afraid, only Dong Thief Tong is rebellious, which is really a big trouble for my henchmen." β
Many generals are also angry, this Dong thief boy is really hateful, every time he stabs him in the back, and he starts with the weak Zhang Yang, which is really despicable.
Fu Zhu and Tian Feng frowned slightly, both of them did not agree to withdraw the army at this time, but Kong Shun was so clever that he made the generals uproar, which was really a bit difficult.
As a civil and military officer, he stepped forward and said, "Lord, our army should first eliminate Gongsun Zhan, and then return to the division to attack Zhang Yan in Jingcheng." In this way, the enemy will save Zhang Yan, and the siege of Shangdang will naturally be broken. β
Yuan Shao bowed his head slightly, and said, "Gonghe is right, our army has besieged Gongsun Zan for half a year, and withdrawing the siege at this time is really a waste of all previous achievements. Therefore, I do not plan to withdraw from the siege, but I also have to find a way to support Zhang Yang. β
However, even though he said this, he used actions that others could not perceive, signaling Guo Tu to balance the frustration.
