Chapter 425: Descending the Book
"Yuan Highway is really cautious! What an old turtle! In the golden city, Han Sui said with a dark face.
He sent all the eight strong generals under his command to harass the grain transport team behind Yuan Shu, but he never thought that Yuan Shu's soldiers were so elite, and even the grain transport soldiers were well-trained and well-equipped elite soldiers, although the number was not large, but it made it difficult for his eight strong generals to complete their achievements, and they also lost a lot. If it weren't for the long logistics route and scattered guards, and the eight strong generals under his command who cooperated tacitly and took the lead, I am afraid that they would not even have a chance to succeed.
Recently, there have been many elite archers and crossbowmen in Yuan Shu's logistics troops, and his command has suffered a big loss without noticing. Han Sui had no choice but to directly order harassment and not to attack easily. In this way, although Yuan Shu's grain transportation speed was greatly suppressed and Yuan Shu's troops were involved, it was far from meeting Han Sui's expectations.
One force to ten meetings, Yuan Shu commanded 150,000 elite soldiers, against Han Sui only more than 60,000 cavalry, the gap in combat power between the two sides is no longer an ordinary strategy can be solved. If Han Sui's subordinates also had an army of 150,000 and sent out 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry to harass Yuan's rear and the rest of the army to defend Jincheng, Yuan Shu would have no choice. But now Han Sui is only a mere army of more than 60,000 people, what can he do? Sending nearly 30,000 cavalry to harass Yuan Shu's rear is already the limit, if more are sent, will Jincheng still be defended?
"Lord, the elite of Yuan Shu's soldiers is really terrifying, we have to find another way." Yan Xing frowned and said. Although he had also heard of the name of Jiangdong's elite soldiers, it was just a fight with the soldiers under the command of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and other princes, and there was a lot of water in Yan Xing's heart.
The thirteen states of Dahan can be divided into three categories, one of which is the frontier category, the second is the core category, and the third is the marginal category.
The border category refers to the three states of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou. These three states are the frontier of the Han Dynasty, the population is relatively sparse, the economy is backward, but there are good and bad, the control of the families in these places is very weak, the Han and Hu are mixed, and because of the threat of foreign races, the combat power of the army is also first-class. is also a cavalry, and the elite under Sun Ce is only the average level under Gongsun Zhan.
The core class refers to Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, which are the most elite areas of the Han Dynasty. The remaining marginal type refers to the four southern states under the command of Yuan Shu, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the regional ideology is strong.
Compared with the elites killed in the sea of blood under the command of Han Sui and Ma Teng, the soldiers under the command of Yuan Shu basically rely on training and meat to pile up, and with the elite equipment, it is normal to surpass the former.
"What can be done?" Han Sui said hatefully: "Yuan Shu, the old turtle, didn't give us a chance at all, the entire army was in full formation and slowly advanced, it was simply vigilant to the extreme, I couldn't even find a flaw." At this rate, the other party will soon advance to Jincheng if it doesn't come out, what else can you do besides a head-on confrontation? ”
"But our Jincheng is only 30,000 troops, how long can it last?" Yan Xing asked.
Han Sui was silent, and he didn't know what to do if he was cunning in this situation.
"My lord, why don't we surrender!" Yan Xing whispered, Cao Liu withdrew his troops, Ma Teng's attitude was ambiguous, Yan Xing was not optimistic about fighting against Yuan Shu at all, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg? They have neither a fierce general who can sweep away the ten thousand armies, nor a top strategist who rebukes Fang Xuan, but Yuan Shu's command is a good general like a cloud, and the strategists are like rain, and the difference in strength is absolutely absolute, how can this battle be fought?
A trace of struggle flashed in Han Sui's eyes, and reason finally defeated ambition: "You send someone to deliver a surrender letter to Yuan Shu, if he is willing to stay in Xiliang and give him a certain amount of military control, he is willing to surrender." ”
"No!" Yan Xing was overjoyed. Those who know the times are handsome, and good birds choose trees to perch. He Yan Xing is not a die-hard person, he will not do stupid things that he knows he can't do, surrendering Yuan Shu means that Han Sui's ambitions are shattered, but for him it is nothing more than a change of boss, his own ability is placed there, and it will definitely be reused, which is the same as what Lu Su said before the Battle of Chibi. Anyone can surrender, but the lord cannot.
"In addition, send someone to send a letter to Ma Teng, if he is willing to help a certain person repel Yuan Shu, and a certain person is willing to recognize him as the master, this Xiliang respects him." Han Sui suddenly said coldly.
"Lord, but!" Yan Xing was stunned when he heard this, and immediately wanted to dissuade Han Sui, but he met Han Sui's cold and ruthless eyes.
A layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on Yan Xing's forehead, and he saw a terrifying killing intent in his eyes, if he continued to talk about it, there was only one way to die.
"No!" Yan Xing bowed his head and said respectfully.
"You go down first!" Han Sui said expressionlessly.
"Subordinates retire!"
After Yan Xing left, Han Sui casually picked up the long sword on the side. The sword was unsheathed, and with a single sword it split the table in front of him in half.
"Hehe, my Han Wenyue has actually fallen to this point. Good! Since you don't want me to live, then none of us should think about it! Han Sui sneered in his mouth and muttered to himself with a hideous face.
......
"Hehe, what a Korean covenant, it's really a thief!" Yuan Shu looked at Han Sui's descending book in his hand, and sneered: "Willing to garrison the frontier and control the Qiang people for a certain person, what if he still dreams of being the overlord of the Xiliang Territory?" ”
"Lord, Ma Teng's side Han Sui also sent a letter." Jia Xu said coldly.
Yuan Shu smiled lightly: "It's about the same, this old fox is in a hurry now." Such a simple discord is used, it seems that it is really poor. How did Ma Teng do it there? ”
"He killed the messenger, and sent the head and the letter." Jia Xu Pingbo said without surprise. Ma Teng's approach Jia Xu had long expected that when the situation was decided, how could Ma Teng kill himself and become an enemy of Yuan Shu for the sake of Han Sui, a mortal enemy?
"Well done! Leave Ma Teng alone, continue to march into Jincheng, and wait for Han Sui to be escorted in front of X, and then teach him how to write a surrender letter. In this case, you dare to talk to me about the conditions, hum! Yuan Shu snorted coldly disdainfully. Han Sui's ambition is directly beyond his imagination, in this case, he is still unwilling to abandon all forces and surrender, and he still dreams of being the overlord of Xiliang, do you really think that I am so easy to handle?
Yuan Shu has always been domineering both internally and externally, not to mention the little Han Sui, even the entire southern family was suppressed by Yuan Shu, and he didn't dare to cross the line and be greedy for power. Now a desperate Han Sui wants to be a feudal official, isn't this a fool's dream?
"Lord, after all, Han Sui has been running Xiliang for many years, and he is trusted by the Qiang people, if he is forced too hard, it will not be good, if his dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, I am afraid..."
"Huh?" Yuan Shu glared at Guo Jia and shouted angrily: "What can he do if he jumps off the wall in a hurry? This kind of thing can't be compromised in the slightest, I, Yuan Highway, will do what he says, I'm too lazy to talk to him, I just want to fight him head-on so that he can't take care of himself. If he has any tricks, I want to see how capable this Jiuqu Yellow River is, how deep the water in the Xiliang pool is, whoever dares to help Han Sui will kill him! ”
Yuan Shu's words are full of confidence and domineering. At this time, he didn't need to care about anything at all, in Xiliang, he didn't need to care about anyone at all, 150,000 elites were his greatest confidence. Even Ma Teng and even the entire Xiliang resisted with Han Sui, and Yuan Shu still dared to be tough and tough.
