Chapter 401: Cutting off its food and grass
Pinggu County, because all the Yang army retreated to Pinggu City, so the surrounding counties were all controlled by Ji Yuanxu's army, although Uncle Yang had already controlled the army, but there was no sign of action, which made the generals very puzzled, but Uncle Yang had a high prestige in the army, so although the generals disagreed, they still guarded the city according to the general's order.
Liu De and Guan Yu joined forces, and the army went straight to Beiping, sweeping through countless county towns all the way, and it was getting closer and closer to Beiping, and after Yang Tianlong learned the news, he secretly ordered the army to gather under the city of Beiping, and to fight to the death with Liu De under the city of Beiping.
Liu De also received a secret report from Zhang Qiuming and others in Beiping City, so he summoned the generals: "Yang Tianlong wants to fight with our army in Beiping City, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Fei shouted in a loud voice: "Lord! Since Yang Tianlong is looking for death, then let's fight with him openly, and let the princes of the world see the strength of our Yanzhou! ”
"There's some truth to what you reckless!"
Liu Deyile.
Cui You stepped forward and said: "Lord, Beiping City is high and thick, and there is a moat to rely on, it is very difficult to break through, Yang Tianlong has become more and more arrogant since he proclaimed himself emperor, and he has been defeated by us again and again, which can be described as a loss of face, and he must want to be ashamed of himself, and sticking to Beiping City, in his opinion, it is definitely an insult, so he will inevitably go out of the city and have a fair duel with us, so as to show his strength in front of the world, which is reasonable for us!" ”
Liu De nodded: "That's true, Yang Tianlong's character will inevitably do so, he won't care about the loss of the city, all he cares about is his face, it's a pity that now there are only a few cavalry in our army, and General Bai is attacking Xinxing in Beizhou, if there is a white horse righteous servant, we will increase the winning rate a lot in this decisive battle!" ”
After all, Huo Quzhi was young and vigorous, and after hearing Liu De say this, he got up and arched his hand: "Lord, although there are only 800 cavalry under the command of the young general, he can also make contributions to the lord!" ”
Huo Jun scolded: "You have been in the army for several months, fortunately with the grace of the lord, Fang served as the position of captain, and you have never made a trace of merit on the battlefield before, how dare you dare to compare with the white horse under the command of General Bai!" ”
Then Huo Jun bowed to Liu De and said: "Lord, I am sick and young, I don't know how thick the sky is, and I ask my lord to forgive him for his sin of arrogance and ignorance!" ”
"Second uncle!" Huo Quzhi was a little angry.
"Shut up!"
Liu De waved his hand and persuaded: "It's a good thing to be young and vigorous, how can you not even have a little enthusiasm at such a young age!" ”
Xu Shu stroked his beard and said: "Lord, I heard the report from the spies, the general led the soldiers and horses to confront the Yang army in Pinggu, the Yang army gave up all its advantages to stick to Pinggu City, and dispatched most of the soldiers and horses to support Beiping, it is better for the lord to repair a letter to inform the general, let the general send troops to take care of each other, so that Yang Tianlong can not take care of each other, if you can assist the general to break through Pinggu, it will completely cut off the connection between Beiping and the southern counties, which is absolutely a devastating blow to Yang Tianlong!" ”
"How to help Ji Yuanxu break through Pinggu City?" Liu De asked.
"Cut off their food!"
Xu Shu said categorically: "All the food of the soldiers and horses in Pinggu City is supported by Beiping, as long as we can cut off its grain route, it will make the army in Pinggu City feel very chaotic, and the general will have a chance!" ”
Liu De stroked his chin and said with a smile: "This is a big gift to Ji Yuanxu!" ”
Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Lord, Yang Tianlong and our field battle, even if we are defeated, as long as we retreat into Beiping City, we will fall into a protracted battle to capture the city, Beiping is densely populated, Yang Tianlong has enough troops to resist our army, we need General Ji to share part of the pressure for us." ”
"What the military advisor said is reasonable!"
Liu De beckoned Dian Wei on the side to bring the map of Jizhou, "The most important core of Jizhou is Beiping, as long as Beiping is captured, the recovery of other counties is just around the corner, and other places are temporarily let our General Ji take it to help us take good care of it!" ”
Then Liu De said: "Who is willing to lead the army to Pinggu to contact Ji Yuanxu and cut off the grain route between Beiping and Pinggu." ”
Huo Quzhi immediately came out of the queue when he saw this, and said with confidence: "Lord, let the last general go!" ”
And Zhang Hong also has a general behind him: "The last general is willing to go!" ”
Liu De looked over and asked, "Oh? Who is this general? ”
Zhang Hong said forward: "Lord Qiqi, this is the warrior Xu Huang recruited by General Anyuan {Liu Gui}, and Pu Yangchuan, the general of the Zhang family in Liaodong, was killed by Xu Huang!" He now holds the position of chief in the army. ”
It turned out that he was Xu Huang...
Liu Dedao: "Kill Puyangchuan and recover Liaodong County, Xu Huang is a great achievement, and appoint Xu Huang as the captain!" ”
Xu Huang immediately bowed his head and said: "The last general is grateful to the lord, and I am willing to drive for the lord!" ”
Liu De used stunts to check Xu Huang's attributes:

-------------
is worthy of being a good general of the five sons, and it is more than enough to serve as the chief general of the first army.
Liu De said: "In this case, with Xu Huang as the main general and Huo Qubing as the deputy general, he led 1,800 cavalry to Pinggu to intercept his grain route!" ”
Xu Huang and Huo Quzhi shouted: "The last general will take the order!" ”
The two left the tent one after the other and went to dispatch the troops and horses.
After all, Huo Qubing has no combat merits, so it is not suitable to be the main general, and Xu Huang is steady, Huo Qubing uses troops quickly, and the two reconcile each other, maybe there will be miraculous feats.
Liu De also ordered the other generals to start resting and preparing for the subsequent decisive battle of Beiping.
......
And this war also attracted the attention of the princes of the world.
Li Yun, who had already captured half of Jinzhou, was silent for a long time after learning the news, and then said to his second brother Li Feng: "At the beginning, we waited for the princes of the Twelve Roads to fight Cao, and how long did we separate from Liu De, Liu De actually grew to such a point, I underestimated him, if he defeated Yang Tianlong and recovered Beiping, then the three states of Hebei will all belong to Liu De's hands, if he loses, he will flee back to Yanzhou in disgrace, if he has some ambition, he is Taoguang Yang, if he can't even bear this blow, then he is just a puddle of rotten meat on the board, but it's a pity for Lan'er." ...”
Li Feng asked, "Big brother, then what should we do now?" ”
"Wait and see what happens, if Yang Tianlong wins, it will be a miserable victory, which will be beneficial to us, and if Liu De wins, with Lan'er, it can be regarded as a relationship, I would like to show Your Majesty, please crown Liu De as the king!"
"For the king?"
"Yes, for the king!"
Li Yun's eyes are deep and unpredictable.
